Mr.. Editor.

Mr.. Editor,
SIR:
a short visit to the Academy Of
Oranyeburg village, assures me that,
under It's present auspices, it can be
made equal to the mcccssity of the pre-
sent age, and with the bright array Of
talent at its head, VIC may confidently
look for progress in lcaring that
will not only compare with many Of
the institutions of the past, but even
with the light that now flashes from
every "Alma Mater" from the
mountains to tho scaboard. The
modes of instruction rs bicny noticed
supposcs that tho elements of langu.
age vii. be thoroughly taught, this
being the basis Of all we'll regulated
institutions. We may confidently look
for IN intellectual structure that will
not only tell we'll upon the youth Of
our beloved County and village but
upon its bright auspices, NIossrs.

Governor Hampton in the West

The speech made by Governor
Hampton at Rockford, ILL.,, last week
was al eloquent plea for peace and
fraternization. He declared that his
chief motive in going there was TO
promote II true and correct UNDER
standing between the pooplc of the
North and the South Hc,, said the
South had had enough 'of war, and
was now seeking peace and cited, as
evidence Of his truth, the fact that
during the recent Presidential contest
the Southern mcmbcrs Of Congress
by their moderation prevented the
country from being plunged into
another civil war. lie concluded his
address as follows:
eve arc standing under one flag,
obcying one Constitution, and it is
for us to say what will be the future
Of this country. Give us your help
and VIC will give YOU our hearty CO.
operation. We feel and know that if
this is done, if we can have Il rcstora-
ton Of fraternity, five can make the
people Of this country nntlersta nd
each other, we feel then lEat there is
II glorious future before the whole

duty; and having done that, to leave
the consequences to God having
performed our duty, looking back to
the past only to gain wisdom for tic
future, and using the present wisely,
and looking to tho future. With hope
and trust in God, l am sure that wo
maya'l say-:North and South para
phraSing the wish Of the fact that
our States may all be distinct rs the
billows, yet one as the sea-"
The North is fast beginning to
understand the South; old sores are
being rapidly healed; hatrcds and
apimosities between the two sections
are dying out; and when we shall
have buried all contention and strife,
and arrived at an era Of perfect good
will between all parties, no one in
America will have contributed more
to this priceless consummation than
our own immortal Hampton. In our
next issue we shall publish his Rock
ford speech in full.

Saved by an Intelligent Dog.

On Monday last occurred most
thrilling accident, in which the life of
two persons seemed hanging in the
balance. Itwas at the house Of Deacon
David j. Evans, in the adjoining town
of Elba, near this city, from whence
only few weeks since was carried the
wife and mother to her last resting
place. During the progress of wash
ing, the cover Of the cistern, trap in
the kitchen floor was raised and left
open. The cistern. some ten feet
deep, was partially filed with icy
water. A little child of the house
hold about four and a half years old
was playing around the floor, and fell
into the cistern. The elder brother,
William Evans. young married man,
without stopping to consider anything,
heard the splash, saw the chind in the
water, and jumped in after it. Sup
porting the child in the water, he
found he could not reach the floor
above. Other members of the family
came to the rescue and arope was thrown
down, but Mr.. Evans, aided by his
daughter, could not draw the two in
the cistern out. While all was excite
ment and confusion. and the man in
the chilling water, holding the child,
numb end exhausted, was about to
loose his hold of the rope and sink,
the large family dog, who seemed to
comprehend the impending danger,
ran out Of the house, uttering peculiar
and most pitiful howls. This bowling
was noticed by the younger sons of
Mr.. Evans, at work in the field, who
ran to the house, and being made to
understand what was the trouble,
brought a ladder and put it down in
the cistern, and the young man, rally
ing all his remaining strength
grasped the ladder, and himself and
the little one were saved. - Columbus

The New York Express says: "That
ex-Mayor Hall left the city and coun-
try as he did, aud when he did, on
account of the Tweed trial, we think
will be made evident to all when a
proper exposure of names and dates
are laid before the public. The state
ment is made that as much as SS0O,OOO
was paid for getting through the
Tweed charter, and that members of
the Legislature, Democrats and Re-
pubicans, shared alike. We hear
also of drafts as high as $50, 900, and
running down from $40, 900 to S., 900
having been paid by a roundabout
process through parties who may not
have been directly interested, and
every draft must have borne the sigma
ture of Mayor Hall. What has de-
layed Tweed's release has been the
necessary reconveyance of the trans
ferred property. back to himself, and
by Lin to the city. Il is understood
that the Putnam country property is
included in this transfer, and that the
water privilege of the lakes under
contract are also to be transferred

The Troops Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, April 2. AT the
Cabinet meeting this morning, the
Secretary of war was directed to
prepare an order transferring troops
from the State House in Columbia, S.
G.. to their camp.
The order to withdraw troops from
Columbia state house to barracks will
not be executed until the close of this
week. The President so informed
Gov. Chamberlain tonight This is

latter, who, having some private bust
ness to transact here, will not reach
Columbia until Friday or Saturday
Gov. Hamp ton has also received infor-
nation to the same effect.
Gov. Chamberlain, in response to q
question what he thought of the deter.
mination to remove troops from the
Columbia Statehouse. said: "It ends
the struggle and makes Gen. Hamp.
ton practically governor" Being
asked when he proposed returning to
South Carolina, he said he would start
for Columbia tomorrow night. He
dimes with the President this evening.
The formal order to Gen. Ruger te
remove troops from the Statehouse al
Columbia to their camp, is being
prepared by the Secretary of War

Beef packers IN the United State

Beef packers IN. the United States
have found new market for their
beef that promises most important
results. Information on the
subject is found in the following para
graph from the North British Agricu1
turol of the 7lh ult.:
Within the last two weeks the
demand for American beef in Scotland
has considerably exceeded the supply
with the result that, last week in par
tcular, prices Of the American article
exceeded those of British beef. In Ed
inburgh, last week there was an
advance of fully one penny per pound
on American beef, aud a few butchers
are intinlatipg that they 'are now
beginning to keep this beef" though
between 800 and 400 quarters have
been sold weekly in Edinburgh since
autumn. In Glasgow there is great
"run on it." and SO also is the case In
Newcastle, where the last few days it
has been selling as high, we have the
best authority for stating, as the
choicest of Scotch beef. 5aa5
But this cannot and will not last.
1t is not worth SO much as the finest
home made beef, and will not for
many day, at least, compete long and
directly with it. Our American
friends are sending in the pick of the
beef just now, but when trade improves
they will tire of that. Every other
week, however, we hear Of consign-
ments of pure bred short horn bulls
being sent from q Kentucky, Ohio,
Illinois and other states, to the great
western p lains of Texes, Kansas, land
a few other new states, for the purpose
of crossing with native herds With
anything like decent feeding and pro-
lection in winter, this means greatly
increased beef supply from the far
west in the course Of a few years,
whether much of it reaches England or
not. And there is every reason to
expect that at least as much Of it will
come across the Atlantic steadily as
will keep beef considerably below the
figures at which it has been for the
past few years.
