The state Military Academy.

Tha efforts to ro-cstablish the Cltade'

c;es of the state meet with ready sym

thoir own experience or have recognized
in others the value % the system Oh tram

ness OF llfe , :;
This result of her teach inEs was quo III

siblc under this svst'm was vi great
benefit in many was.
Receiving youths i..>i. from nolhe, al
that supreme moment when characters
arc made. or narred by surrounding
Influences. the wholesome restraints or
military discipline served TO preserve the
iucxperienced from the temptations
found in promisruous society, TO enforce
attention 10 study, and generally to
mould both mind and body into recoS-
milton OF authority and obedience 10
law.
The intense Individuality which is tho
peculiaritv of American character, and
which in after life has often been the IN
spiration 10 high achievement and slgnal
success requires wholesome restraints
and checks in youth TO inculcato a rever-
cncc for law and order. The tendency
of the education 1T the Citadel was pow
tents Of her teaching, rich or poor, what
ever had been the faults or merits OF
home training, were placed on tho same
platform and compelled To obey the same
rules.
Itwas All education ofthc whole system,
| BODY and mind received equal attention
AMI were developed with equal success.
Whatever objections may bo advanced
| To the military training of West Point as
| rrcotiu., nm cxr,,s of soldiers in tho Re-
public, the education at the Citadel was
open to no such structures.
! No prospects opened before these grad
yates of prolonged military service, and
they naturally fell into the ranks and
commenced the struggle of life without
any dream of martial strife or glory.
| Tho ph yscal training under this system
had marked effect on character, and
| freou entity WAS no insignificant agent III
shaping the future and adapting the
constitution TO the rougher responsible
tics of life.
Tho whole tenor of life at the Citadel
was 20 make tho youth intensely practl-
cal.
He was made to wait on himself, clean
his own shoes and accoutrCmonts, scour
his own floor, police his own room, and
generally TO recognize the fact that III
conforming To the rules Of the Academy
he was doing his duty. This was the
secret Of the high measure of success
reached by this system of education.
If after years, no matter where tho
scene of labor might be, the effect of
training was TO inspire strict attention to
duty and obedience of orders. and under
such circumstances some degree of sue
cess was sure.
The great lesson had been inculcated
that the "duIies of life are more than

in that vicinity refused $5 per thousand
for his Confederate bonds, although he
had enough OF thom to have realized
5000 Mt that price. This man just before

and invested every cent of tho proceeds

"A REMARKABLE CASE,

One of the most extraordinary cases
that has ever been instituted in the Grim
inal courts of this or any other country,
so far as our information extends, was
recently Investigated in this County in
the case of the State vs. William p.
Baker, of Gallatin, Tennessee, brought
here under requisition from Governor
Hagood and granted by Governor Haw-
kins, Of Tennessee, upon q charge of
grand larceny. The extraordinary part
Of the case lay in the facts and not in
the papers, which were regular in form.
The charge was one which compelled
the Governor Of Tennessee to turn Mr..
Baker over 10 the authorities of this
State. Upon notice of the requsition,
Mr.. Baker surrendered to the Sheriff of
his County, and came on to Anderson
with Deputy of our Sheriff. When he
arrived here he employed Messrs. MUIR
ray g. Murray and B. F. Whitner as his
counsel, and was confronted OIL the pre-
liminary trial by Messra. Brown & Trib-
Bile and j. Z. Allen rs prosecuting attor-
neys. Upon his arrival he was bailed
upon his own recognizance to await the
result of the preliminary trial, which,
from the intervention of other matters.
was continued in one way and another
for about two weeks. It was held before
John Z. Breazcale, Esq, and developed
the fact that Mr.. Baker had not stolen
anything, but that there was disputed
settlement of partnership account be-
tween him and Mr.. j. p. Donnahoo, an.
other citizen of Tennessee, who we're
partners in the sale Of mules and horses
last Spring. Mr.. Baker had furnished
his statement of his partnership transac-
tions, in which he admitted q balance
due, but Mr. Donnahoo had not fur
nished to Baker his statement until a
short time before the prosecution begon,
and it was so indefinite as not to give
any Ineligible idea of the business
1t was claimed for the prosecution that
Bakers not paying over the amount
shown to be due by him was breach of
trust, and, therefore, larceny. The de.
fence claimed that there were technical
defects about the proceedings themselves;
that the offence charged was grand lar.
ceny, and there was no proof of it; that
The facts did not make out even breach
of trust; and that one partner was not
in law or morals bound to settle up his
partnership transactions until the other
was ready also. The Trial Justice, how.
ever, adopted the view of tho prosecu.
ton, and the defendant carried the case
up on hd6eas corpus before Judge Fraser.
On going before the Judge, who was
holding Court at Abbeyille, the hearing
was fixed for Walhalla last week. After
the argument Of the case by Mr.. Bakers
attorneys and the Solicitor, Judge Fraser
decided that Mr.. Baker could not be held
or grand larceny, even if he bad com.

More Abont Confederate Bonds.

LONDON, November 2-The IuU Mall
Gazette this evening says: "Thcre is no
truth whatever in tho statement that
there is 4 largo amount of money in the
Bank of England which was deposited to
the credit of the Confederate government
and is available for tho payment of
Confederate bonds. Wo believe it does
not hold u single penny, and doubt
whether thero is any such money in anv
bank in this country The whole story
is 4 gross fabrication, and tho fitting
product of speculation that has no
substantial foundation''
The London Times says: 1--WE are ablo
to say that tho Bank of England dos not
hold penny available for the payment
of Confederate bonds. The public should
beware of buving bonds intrinsicallv
worthless in faith of such rumors.

THE STATUS OF THE IRISH QUESTION.

There appears probability that the
agitation in Ireland, growing out of the
cxactons Of landlords from their tenants,
will subside for time ut least. That the
Irish tenants, and the whole Island is
cultivated principally by tenants, have
been oppressed beyond reasonable for
bearancc cannot be questioned, and they
have had the sympathy of the civilized
world with them. The British Parlia.
mcnt lately passed an Act for the amc-
Iteration of the oppressed tenants, and
appointed Land Commission to invcsti-
gate the rental value of the lands, with
power to rctii.ce the same when exor-
bitant. The Irish leaders had little con-
fidencc in this Commission, and have
continued the agitation, from which
course n number Of them are now in
carceratcd We thought the policy OF
the leaders al unfortunate one, and
fraught with danger to the cause, how
ever just, which they advocated 1t Was
due to the supremacy of the law and the
tribunal with ample powers tocorrect the
wrongs aud grievances Of which they
complained, that the complainants
should at least await its action and see if
it would remedy the evils Of which they
complained The Land Commission has
just commenced its work, and in several
cases greatly reduced the rents. There
is said to be new sixteen thousand appli-
cations for reduction Of rent before the
Commission. If this Commission should
faithfully discharge its duty, the dis
turbance, which has existed between
landlords and tenants for years and
threatened the peace of the country, will
be quieted and the war waged between
these classes cease. Under the decisions
made by the Commission the Land
Leaguers seem disposed to await the
further action of the Commission, and
there is now every prospect that there
will be truce between the contestants,
the continuance of which will depend
upon the Land Commission.

In the Court of General Sessions Mt
Newbcrry man was put on trial for
carrying q pistol concealed about his
person. There was no conflict lis to the
facts. The defense seemed to rely on
the fact that small portion of the pistol
was visible. Judge Aldrch held that
the fact that a part Of the weapon was
visible, to-wit: the small end, did not
bring the case outside ofthe statute, that
the spirit of the statue is, that no matter
if part be visible to one mau, yet it
might not be seen by another who was
equally near, and TO be not concealed
weapon, it must be in such position
that NIL who are near enough can see it.
The jury found the defendant guilty.
