Two of Orangcburg's brightest
larks left this place several days ago
for the purpose ofvsiting Il aspot near
Lewisvillc. After they had trans
acted tlleir business. one Of them s,,y~
gestcd to. the other, that they call by
and see Intcndant Hook, and hii
manner of conducting municipal
affairs. The suggestion was carried
out, Lewisville was visited, few
cocktails were taken, and late in the
afternoon our two wanderers started
for Orangeburg, rs. they thought, but.
which they really did not do. After
travelling some twenty miles or more,
they began to discover that they we're
in n strange vicinity. A haltwas
agreed upon and inquiries as to their
whereabouts at tonee instituted, Which |
revealed to these explorers of our
county that they we're within sixteen
miles of Columbia. GOOD gracious !"
said one of them, "let's go back in
hurry, and the first man who laughs at
us about this mistake, swear to put
a head OH him." The young men
arrived home in the night, but none
of their friends have yet asked them
how far it is from Lewisvillc to
Columbia.

A dispatch to the London Daily News runs
thus: scene of unprecedented enthusiasm
and excitement was witnessed on the occasion
of the benefit of Nine. Adelina Patti, at Mos.
COW, on December l. The opera selected was
I'll Barbiere di Seviglia, and SO great was
the demand for places, although the prices
were doubled, that the theater was thronged,
and the receipts amounted to the enormous
sum Of 81, 500. The coup d'eu afforded by
the crowded house was most striking, and
when the gifted artistic appeared upon the
stage she was greeted with prolonged burst
OF applause that was long protracted.
In the lesson scene the Introduction of the
Shadow Song from 'Dinorah" evoked an.
other fervent demonstration of delight on the
part of the audience, who were not satisfied
until the bengiciaire had three times respond
ed to their demands for its repetition, At
the conclusion of the opera, Nine. Patti was
presented with five splendid stars of rubies
and diamonds, together with a magnificent
ornament consisting entirely of large bril-
liants. When it is stated that, in the course
of the evening, she was called before the
curtain no less than sixty times, and that
upward of 1000 boquets were showered upon
her, some idea may be formed of the extraor-
binary triumph she achieved.

INAUGURATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF MIS-
SOURI-HIS PROTEST.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. IL. James II. Hardin
Governor elect, was inaugurated at Jefferson
City to-day, and read his inaugural to the
General Assembly in jo'n session.
1t deals wholly with State matters except at
the close he briefly refers to the events which
occurred at New Orleans, January 4th, and
says:
could trust that the events were the re-
suit of mistaken judgment, but es
they have been calmly approved by the Chief
Magistrate, they are to be considered as un-
eierstood by him, as embraced within his
constitutional powers, and therefore at his
will may be repeated there or elsewhere.
This no one acquainted with the constitu-
sional history Of the country can admit,
standing as we do ON the threshold of this
high Office, and believing that the declaration
will meet with hearty response from my people,
/ do now, in the name of the State, protest
against the employment Of military force,
except in exact accordance with the Constitu-
ttion of the United States, as construed and
understood in our national history, and further
declare that the obtrusion of such forces in
the Legislative Halls of Louisiana was fear
tnl infraction Of that Constitution, and in some
respects the gravest and most alarming shock
our republican institutions have ever received,
involving in this one act of military authority,
the destruction Of the rights of States and of
ecitiZens.

ABDUCTION OF A BOY TWENTY-FIVE
YEARS AGO.

To the Editor of the Chicago Tribune:
Elk GROVE, Ill, Jan. At appears tina
the excitement regarding the abduction {
Charlie Ross still prevails, and that the affai
as yet remains mystery. The same practic
was carried on twenty-five years ago, as tn
following will show:
In the month of October, 1849, landed il
| New York, with my family, from England, OF
my way to Chicago, where my father and tn
rest of his family had arrived about eighteen
years before me- We stayed two days in New
York, at the Eagle Hotel; and, while mysel
and some friends were viewing the city, ont
of my little boys was stolen, while standing OF
the steps at the front of the tavern.
A man went up to him, took him by the
hand, and told him his father had sent him
to fetch him, and that he was waiting at the
bottom of the street. He led the boy to that
point, and then said, 'sYour father is ahead Of
us, and we must walk faster, or we shall moi
catch up with him." Thus he led the bow
from street to street, until he perceived he
was In tears, and, to soothe him, he bought
him little candy, and afterwards took him
into low room, something like a cellar
kitchen, where he talked with two men and a
woman, remaining there for some time
I had been away about three hours from
the tavern, and on my return was told that
Charlie had not been seen for some time;
that they had made a regular search for him,
but could not find him, and had come to the
conclusion that l must have returned and
taken him with me into the city. Finding
how matters stood, mustered quite little
force, and we went IN every direction, but
without success. then made up my mind
to go and have some handbills printed and
publish the affair in the daily papers; but,
just at that time, we perceived two men, who
came over the sea with us, bringing him
along with them.
They had been staying with some friends
in the suburbs of the city, and were coming
to bid us good-by. While crossing the street,
about two miles from the tavern, they espied
the fellow leading little Charlie along by the
them took the fellow by the arm and asked
him what he was doing with that boy. He
replied that he was trying to find his folks
As soon as the boy recognized the young
men, he pulled from his captor, and the fell
low said swell, if you are his folks, take
him." The man turned the corner of the
street and left.
On questioning the boy, they found how he
had been enticed away, and they started after
the fellow to have him arrested, but he had
disappeared down some alley or passage,
where they could not find him.
From the description ! had given of the
nan, he was low Of stature, and about the
Ige Of twenty-five or thirty years. What his
motive was I am at q loss to know, but am
persuaded should have had some trouble
lad not my two friends accidentally, or I
nay say providentially, found the boy when
coming to bid us farewell.
