TT The reception Of Gen. Scott al San

great American Captain. whose deeds have
shed so much lustre upon the armies Of the
Republic. The ovation was worthily be-
slowed for he has not only contributed
largely to the fame and glory Of the nation
bat it is to him, in a great degree, that we,
as Californans, owe the privilege we now
enjoy of peopling this vast Pacific State, and
enjoying the wealth which continues, with
such an uninterrupted flow, TO enrich our
selves, and, equally with us the nation at
large His superior military genius, and his
own trusty sword, at the head Of our brave
army, won this rich inheritance for us and
our descendants The citizens OF San Fran.

ee- It is to be hoped that Gen. Scott on
bis return from ''the sea: Of war;" will find
time to pay at least flying visit to the
mountains, and examine for himself the vast
and exhaustless mines of wealth which his
military prowess and genius have so emf
nently aided in attaching to our national
domain. A hearty WELCOME will await the
distinguished veteran should he find it con.

These facts deserve attention from all
men who live in slave States. South Car
olina, IN whose rice fields more negroes are
used up than in any other, who boasts
slave system affirmed to be perfectly ADJUST
ed to her society, and where the cry has
already been voiced forth for a revival of the
African trade, shows a supplanting of the
white race by the black race more startling
than anything ever propounded by Nautilus.
As basis Of our remarks, We may note the
fact tnat-fer thirty 1enrs the white popula-
ton has not increased at all; it being within
few Thousand in 1858, of what IL was
in 1898. Look then carefully at the
above table. The slave population already
exceeds the free by more than one
hundred thousand-nearly one-half. The
relation of births is 3oS to !, in faver of the
slaves-more than treble At this rate what
will be the condition of South Carolina at
the end of the next thirty year? With the
whites, the number Of deaths ranges close
upon the number OF births; the excess prob


ably migrating to other States. With the
blacks. the difference of births and deaths, is
largely in favor of the births and increasing
yearly in geometrical progression. Con-
slider aiso that the slave breeding States will
add largely to her serviie class, and that tins
multiplying OF the blacks must be at the
expense of the whites to certain extent


From these elements, it may be estimated
according to accepted laws of population,
that South Carolina will in thirty years con-
tam less number of free citizens that now,
and more than three quarters of a million OF
sZayes. The blacks will oe three to one to
the whites-a social condition infiammable
as powder, impossible to be sustained, and
that can only look to revolt, terror, blood
shed and extirpation, as the remedial courses
of the State. 1t needs only glance at
these figures, and lifting OF that terrible
curtain OF the future to see how insane,
reckless, fatal is that policy persisted in by
her statesmen OF erecting barriers of prelu-
dice against the influx Of free laborers, and
OF making an effort to increase the impor-
tuition of slaves. South Carolina must needs
have addition to her white element, and
must adopt repression of the black element,
to save her from the fate of absorption.
Nix savages with her three-quarters OF
million slaves, and it would not be year
before fire and blood would circle in frenzy
over every plantation. Is it not clear to
reason, then, that her only safety for the
coming time lies in Free Labor progression

New METHOD OF RAsCAMrY.-Thc New York
Evening Post saws that the wife of a well-kuown
citizen who resides in that city, recently had
row escape from serious injury. The lady was alone
in the house, and, hearing the door-be ring, went
down to the door. As she opened the door by a
seeming intuition, she stepped back little distance
but Just far enough to escape being stunned by a
heavy stick of timber which had been placed against
the door outside so as fall directly upon the head
of the person answering the bell. The timber was
diameter, and was so heavy that the lady was I'M
able to remove it after it had fallen, Whether this
new drop game intended for practical joke,
or as a piece of private revenge, or, is more
likely, a new invention for assisting burglars to
enter house, is not clear in this instance. Itmay
be as WE'LL however, for hou5ekeepers to bear in
mind this circumstance, and thus avoid being 'pat

EDUCATION NORTH AND SouTH.-Tbe
Boston Post has published series on j." Col
iegges and Schools at the South" which con
cludes as follows;


In reviewing the subject of education in
the Southern States, we arrive at the general
result, that the scattered condition of the
people Is untavorable to the very general
prevalence of the common school system,
such as prevails in New England. Private
schools are more general in the South than
IN any other portion of the world; and as
to the higher seminaries of learning, if she
Is not an equal to the North, she soon will
be. And, then, the education she ACQUIRES
from the social intercourse may outweigh ali
the real instruction impaired through the
yceum system, At the present time the
south Is more active in improving her educa
ttonal system than the North. At her recent
commercial conventions the subject has been
freely discussed, aud the general view has
been taken that her sons and daughters
should be educated at home, and not at the
North The Southerners not only propose
to furnish themselves with education, but
With school books. These last have for
msrly been, very generally, procured from
the North. The South has been accustomed
to pay the North for school books and
education about $4,000, 900 annually. But
she is now endeavoring to manufacture both
school books and education for her own
children.

Rcfections.- Through the long vista

Ghosts of long ago rise dimly in the far
off distance in quick succession. First
there are the forms of those united to me

Then the images of beloved friends as |

Life is fral but death is certain. Only in
the morning of life thousands upon thous-
ands are consigned to the grave. We see
numberless human beings cut down in the
bloom of health and prime of manhood.
When old age with his hOary locks arrives
it is nothing more than the laws OF the
human body that death should soon claim
them. We are all living creatures who
are liable at any time to be called upon to
render an account ofour evil doings here.
Our lives are suspended upon single
thread, which, however, lightly touched,
will sever and our existence come to a
close. Just so uncertain are the enjoy
ments of this life. Those who have be-
lieved the pleasures derived from mingling
with the May crowd of fashion TO be real
and permanent, have found them false.
1t is way of killing time and withdraw
ing it from all that is truly noble in life
and burying in utter forgetfulness-
