Fever in Charleston.
The fatality from yellow fever in Charleston
seems to be abating, as appears from the re
ports of Monday and Tuesday, there being but
one death for each day,
—
Valedictory.
This art icle together with the leading one of
to-day, are the last I shall ever write as “ on#
of the editors of the Hun.” A more extended
field of editorial labor being open to me, and
my best interests prompting me to enter it, 1
have not felt at, liberty to hesitate in tlie mat
ter, though I had become deeply interested in
the “Daily Hun,” and can never labor any
where with more zeal than 1 have for its suc
cess. I am far from flattering myself that
such success depends upon niy pen. Mr,
DeWolf, who will hereafter devote more at
tention to the Sun as its editor, is abundantly
able to carry it to the meridian, if hacked, as
no doubt lie will be, by the community. He
lias already demonstrated that a Daily is pos
sible in Columbus ; he deserves credit for his
energy and perseverance, and specially for his
devotion to the interests of this city. Know
ing this community to be a generous and spir
ited one, and fully believing that Columbus is
only one-third the size she will be in 1876, i
feel well assured that the Sun will goon, pros
pering and to prosper.
It has been truly said, though l forget who
said it, that, there is always something mourn
ful in what we do for the last time ; and I do
confess 1 regret right heartily that 1 am about
to pocket my scissors, wipe my pen, and take
down my tent, preparatory to plying the one,
and pitching the other in another city. Pew
words, however, are always best at parting. I
have said more than I started to say. Wish
ing every reader of tlie Sun, health, happiness
and prosperity, and craving their forgiveness
for my many imperfections, I am,
Respectfully and truly,

Steamboat Building in Columbus.
We paid a visit recently to the new steamer
“ Wave,” now building by Mr. Harry T.
Hall, (at the lower edge of the city,) and found
there many tilings to surprise and gratify us;
among them, the size o the boat, which will
he the largest ever seeji on our river; the
splendid and gigantic timbers, equal to, and
pronounced by good judges superior to, any
timber at Pittsburgh, t lie great steamboat
manufacturer lor Western and Southern wa
ters ; and lastly the inception of anew branch
of enterprise which Mr. Hall desires to make
a permanent one in our city, thus adding
to our wealth, and specially to our indepen
denc'.'. Pittsburgh is not less notorious as an
abolition nest, than as a maker of steamers.
Mr. Hall wishes to emancipate this section of
the South and Southwest, from all indebted
ness to her; to keep at homo the thousands
we spend with her; and to give employment
to our own mechanics. He believes that as
good and cheap boats can be built here, as at
Pittsburgh; and to demonstrate that fact is
now building the Wave, which may he looked
upon therefore, as an experiment on which
the reputation of Columbus depends, and in
whose issue all enterprising citizens must feel
a deep interest.
The Wave is of tlie following dimensions:
Length of Keel 166 feet
“ on Deck 178 “
Breadth of Floor “0 “
“ on deck “over a11”... 48 “
False Hide 7 “
Depth of Hold 5£ “
“Sheer” 3 “
Two Cylinders 19 inches in diameter and
six feet stroke; 3 Boilers, 38 inches in diame
ter; capacity, IHOO Cotton Bales and 50 Pas
sengers. As to tiie timber and tho way it is
put together, steamboat men and practical
mechanics will have to speak; they pronounce
both super-excellent and better than anything
they have ever seen in Pittsburgh. The oak
is irorn \\ hit May’s Mills, Ala.; I lie pine from
Brooks’ Mill, Ga. The Castings and Iron
Work, very fine, are from Brown’s Foundry
in this city. Instead of the ordinary spikes
used in fastenings, rivets and screw bolts are
used throughout, thus securing the greatest
possible strength and security. Forty three
men are employed on the Wave, and the week
ly pay roll is $472. Hhe is to be built “ out
and out,” painting, decoration and all, in this
city, tlie first attempt of the kind ever made
here; is to be afloat by the fifteenth of Novem
ber, and to be commanded by Capt. Lea,
There, reader, are all the “dots,” and they
foot up* hand* inely.
Two reasons have heretofore prevented em
barking in steamboat building at this point:
Ist. The supposition that timber of good
quality, and sufficient length could not be pro
cured in this section. That this is all u mis
take, any judge of timber w ill see, l*y a visit
to tlie Wave. The oak is splendid—just us
long as oak ever gets to be, and of most beau
tiful texture—free from wind-shakes, and
blemishes. We would say to tlie Pittsburgh
folks that if they’ will only send for it we can
let them have such timber as they seldom see.
2ndly. Tlie oilier difficulty lias been tho
cost of getting first-rate workmen. This will
be obviated so soon as boat-building becomes
a permanent business hero. Men cannot al
tord to take the same wnges for a few mouths
work, which they could the year round. The
principle is simply the well-known one, of
“ wholesale” cheaper than “ retail.”
Ho soon as the Wave gets afloat, it is the
intention of Mr. Hall to commence anew and
larger boat, with a view to selling to the
Montgomery boatmen, and when they and
others in this section are satisfied that they
need no longer go to Pittsburgh, wo hope nnd
believe they will come to Columbus.
” ishing Mr. Hall every success in this new
and arduous enterprise, we close our article
w ith a cordial invitation to those interested in
Columbus progress to visit the Wave, and be
surprised and gratified. For Hie boat itself,
we have only to add, “Long may she Barf/”
The New York Herald.
This paper has for a long time been desig
nated as the “Hatanic Press.” We believe
tli at it was Creeley who so christened it, at a
time when it professed to be the friendy of the
constitutional rights of the South —before
George Law and “Mariposa” enlisted it for
Fremont and the “Nigger Worshippers.”—
Having sold out to the Black Republicans, it
now occupies among them the position of Lu
cifer among the “fallen angels. There is no
falsehood too great for its utterance—no in
trigue too base for its concoction ami manage
ment—no resort of the demagogue and trick
ster too low for its reach and employment.
It is at present engaged in the attempt to ral
ly and concentrate the religious feeling of the
North in behalf of Fremont and Dayton. Day
after day its columns contain appeals to the
religious sentiment of the country to arrest
the extension of slavery and prevent the sub
jugation of Kansas by the slave power! Ben
nett preaching morality and Christianity! the
Devil “quoting scripture to suit his purpose.”
Should he succeed, honest men may well con
sider the question whether religious bodies
should not be legally restrained from ever en
tertaining a political question, or their min
isters from alluding, in their pulpits, to ques
tions of national policy—just as the Govern
ment is, by the constitution, prohibited from
meddling with religious worship or religious
freedom. The success of Fremont and aboli
tion, by such means and agencies, would de
monstrate the fact that the state has quite as
much to fear from the encroachments of reli
gious fanaticism as religion has to fear from
governmental intermeddling, and the “ checks
and balances” of the Constitution ought to be
a barrier to both alike.
In one of its appeals, the Herald says:
“ Until the present election, no abstract
question involving religious sentiment or
touching doubtful matters, open to the inquiry
whether they may or may not be religiously
right or religiously wrong, lias ever been pat
in issue. But now slavery lias been put in is
sue, and is unmistakably the great and para
mount issue of the day. The whole question,
both in the abstract and in its practical action
ami bearings, both as respects its policy as a
matter of political economy, and as respects
its abstract religious propriety—isnowat issue
in this election. * * * Now, this is, in fact,
a religions issue. It puts religious men upon
the inquiry, not whether A B or C D is a fit
person to be elected President of this Union,
but whether slavery is in itself a good or an
evil. In this manner it is that religion for
the first time is rendered an absolute, element of
our Presidential election.”
In plain terms, according to tlie Herald’s
logic, tlie church of this country is to be the
regulator of the government and the action of
the people in political matters. Because it
fancies that an effort is making to extend sla
very where it ought not to go, it overleaps all
the safeguards of the constitution and urges
the religious denominations of the country to
combine and make a crusade against the
whole system of slavery in the United States!
This, it urges, is a “religious issue,” to be
acted upon by church organizations; and the
institutions of some of the States of the Union,
guaranteed from Federal or Northern assault
by the constitution, are to be passed upon in
judgment by the religious sentiment of the
country. Beecher only sent rifles to Kansas,
and counselled murder in a single Territory ;
hut Bennett extends and enlarges the juris
diction of the churches so as to embrace the
whole Union and its component Stntes. In
stead of the Gospel of Christ preached to sin
ful men, the Gospel of Black Republicanism
is to be brought to bear upon nations, and re
ligious bodies are to mould or overthrow their
institutions! Christ taught that his Kingdom
was not of this world, and that his followers,
instead of becoming politicians, should cheer
fully “render unto Ctesar the things which
were Caesar’s ”; but in our days they are to
take general charge of political as well as reli
gious questions, and use the rifle or the Bible,
the murderer or the missionary, as the occa
sion may seem to require! Truly, “ fools
rush in where angels fear to tread,” and fa
naticism and political knavery combined
would make a hell on earth to gratify the mad
passions of the hour.
The New Bridge.
This Bridge, after much delay, lias been
located and the work of construction com
menced. Horace, who Ims great renown as a
bridge builder, lias undertaken the job, with
u determination, we understand, to have it
ready for travel before Christ inns, it lias
been located at the foot of Bridge street.
Death of Mrs. Lipscomb.
We learn from the Montgomery Advertiser,
that tiiis estimable lady, wife of Rev. Dr. A.
A. Lipscomb, died at Tuskegee on Tuesday
night. In noticing her death, the Advertiser
says: “To lier afflicted consort, we tender our
sincere condolence, and in this we but share
the feelings of this entire community, of
which ho and his lamented lady wore once
the pride and ornament. May that Christian
fortipude, and resignation to the will of Him in
whose cause lie lias performed such eminent
service, enable him to bear up* under this, his
greatest affliction.”
We learn from the Mobile Tribune, that tlie
Hon. P erey Walker, Representative in Con
gress. from the Mobile District, arrived home
on the 15th instant, on the Quaker City from
New York. He is going to take the stump in
defence of his position, which lias been con
demned by liis late K. N. associates. Percy
is some before the people, nnd we must expect
to hear considerable cracking among the Dry
Bones in thut District, when Greek meets
Greek.
In our report of the market, this morning,
says the Savannah News of Wednesday, we
report 38 bales of cotton which was sold by
Mr. Win. Duncan, for cents per lb. It
classes as fair, nnd is ap>art of the crop grown
this year on tho plantation of Gov. Hammond
of Booth Carolina.
The last number of the Atlanta Intelligen
cer, contains a very neat salutatory from Mr.
J. W. Duncan, who has purchased an interest
in that paper, and become co-editor with W. 15.
Buggies. Thomas N. Cox, Esq., still occupies
the post of assistant editor.
The Tory Fine
. Seeing mention, says the Clinton Indepen
dent, of the Charter Oak, a few days since, ,
brought to our mind the remembrance of the
“ Tory Pine.” In the lower part of Sampson
County, North Carolina, almost in sight of
Treadwell’s Cross Hoads, stands a large pine,
known as the “Tory Pine.” This notable tree
stands in a swamp suri'ounded by a very dense
undergrowth, and can only be seen by the ex
ercise of some trouble and patience, ami the
endurance of a few brier scratches. During
the Revolutionary War there w’ere a few’ To
ries in that region of country lying between
Black River and Moore’s Creek. These Tories
found themselves at one time in so critical a
condition as to make concealment necessary,
so they encamped in the swamp and built their
fires by the side of this largo pine. There
they concealed themselves for months, and
lived by what game they could capture in the
woods, and the assistance of their female rel
atives, who met them at stated times. The
“Tory Pine” is doublcss the monarch of
many centuries, and still looks green and
flourishing. It is 80 feet in circumference at
the ground, ami 87 feet in circumference 3
feet above the ground. The scar made by
tlie fire is 5 feet broad and 7 feet high, and
this hollow has often served as a shelter for
hunters and persons working in the adjacent
woods Long may the old tree live, as a tes
timony that the Tories of the Revolution found
it more expedient to hide than to fight.
Shooting Affair in Tarboro, N. C.
On Wednesday morning, ihc 10th instant,
says the Southerner, Mr. Andrew S. Ellison
was seen walking up Main street in this place
with a double barrelled gun on the side oppo
site the Edgecombe House—when nearly in
front of the main entrance, Mr. Epenetus
Cromwell, the proprietor, advanced towards
Mr. Ellison, and drew a pistol—when about
twenty yards apart, both fired their weapons
—Mr. C romwell drawing another pistol and
discharging it. Mr. Ellison's gun was loaded
witli bird shot—Mr. Cromwell’S with pistol
ball. Both shots of Mr. Ellison took effect,
severely if not mortally wounding Mr. Crom
well—Mr. Ellison made no effort to escape,
was arrested, and on Thursday examined be
fore His Honor Judge Saunders, our Superior
Court being in session, amt committed to ja ; !
to await the result of Mr. Cromwell’s wounds.
A personal difficulty had some time previously
existed between the parties. We have been a
resident of Tarboro upwards of thirty years,
says the Southerner, and this is the first shoot
ing case that lias occurred in our streets dur
ing that time.
Additional by the Arabia.
The British Royal Mail Steamship Arabia,
which arrived at Halifax on the 13tli inst. left
Liverpool on the 4th at 11.80 a. m., and made
the run in a little over 8 and a half days, not
withstanding a detention of several hours off
the l’ort by fog.
England.
The London Star says :
It need not any longer be concealed that the
governments of France and England, that is
to say, Louis Napoleon and Lord Palmerston,
are not on good terms with respect to Spanish
affairs; and communications are understood
to have passed between them of anything but a
complimentary character.
We may as well state that an opinion has
found its way to the other side of the Atlantic
that England is ready to make every concession
in order to obtain the friendship of the United
States, and that this determination has been
come to in the event of a possible rupture with
France.
The improved tone of the London journals is
interpreted in this sense, and the New York
Herald makes much of the topic. We have
hitherto hesitated to say so because these are
matters of great importance, and should not
be paraded merely for the sake of raising pub
lic excitement, but as the Paris correspon
dents of our own press now begin to talk so
much about the matter, reserve must be put
aside and the public should be instructed that
while there may in reality bo no danger, it is
always a serious thing to have our foreign poli
cy under the direction of a premier like Pal
merston.
The Star further says :
“ A contemporary announces that the Cen
tral American difficulties is solved satisfacto
rily by’ a convention between Honduras and
Great Britain. Good news may bear repeti
tion, but then it ought to be news. The satis
factory settlement alluded to, of this threat
ening question, was announced five weeks
since.”
The health of the Emperor of the French un
dergoes much discussion. That the Emperor
has some malady of a dangerous character
may be inferred, hut its exact nature is con
cealed from the public.
Hpain.
Tlie Spanish Government lias not yet. pub
lished its decree dissolving the Cortes and fix
ing anew election. An exposition of its poli
cy is to be looked for. Therein still remains
a subject of discussion.
At the latest dates Lisbon was tranquil, but
circumstances had occurred to show that (lie
late riot was essentially political in its sources.
Italy.
In Italy discontent is spreading. Alarm is
manifested in Naples in consequence of the
now ascertained movement of the Moralist
party.
This party has been circulating a programme
or proclamation at Naples with secrecy and ac
tivity.
The JL.-tcst-
London. Wednesday Night —The campaign
projected by the Russians against the Circas
sians is indefinitely adjourned.
The Times is officially authorized to declare
that a report to the effect that the Portuguese
government had applied to the British for a
squadron on the occasion of the recent riots at
Lisbon, is destitute of foundation.
Lisbon exchange is at fifty-three and three
quarters.
The Persian Ambassador is to proceed to
London to terminate the Anglo Persian dis
pute. offering full satisfaction to England, on
condition that Mr. Murray be recalled.
The Times has another leader on Mr. Mur
ry's proposal respecting merchant ships in time
of war.
Tho Post estimates the cost of the war with
Russia at eighty millions of pounds, and re
commends that an annual sum ho applied to
converting personal annuities into terminable
ones.
“Go to thunder!’’ is now rendered thus:
“Tnk™ your departure to the abode of the re
verbei at ng echoes of heaven’s artillery !”
J Northern Sentiment.
York Sun of the 12th instant, in
an editorial leader on “The Dissolution Cry,
remarks:
“No President dare openly to violate the
constitution and make war upon the rights of
any section of tlie Union. The people in their
aggregate power and intelligence, are strong
er‘than a President or a party, and those who
love the Union and are determined to main
tain it, outnumber any party which has ever
been organized. There is, tlierofore, no mor
al force in tlie cry that tlie Union is in danger.
The people, conscious of their own unswerv
ing loyality, do not, and cannot realize any
danger, and they despise the cry. li is a weak
device in political strategy, and only injures
those who resort to it. Threats and intimida
tion succeed only with timid men, and timidi
ty is no! a prevailing trait in tlie American
character.
The New York Times of the same date,
says :
“ The great mass of the people of tha Uni
ted States are loyal to the Constitution, —
ready to obey all its requirements, and deter
mined never to allow ambitious and unprinci
pled conspirator# to usurp its powers and
trample on its forms. Aaron Burr tried that
game,—with infinitely greater popularity to
start with than either- of his imitators; —but
he did not succeed. John C. Calhoun came
verj’ near running his neck into a noose,
through hi? political ambition. If Henry A.
Wise and Jefferson Davis are desirous of imi
tating these illustrious examples, they would do
well to consider the chances of success. The
first step towards carrying out the programme
thus laid down, would plunge all the actors in
it into a depth of infamy from which their
names could not be dragged in a thousand
years.”
The Evening Post, also ridicules the South
and warns her sons against an attempt at se
cession :
“We are familiar with threats from the
South. They were made when the Fugitive
Slave law’ was forced through Congress. They
were made when the election of a Speaker was
pending at the last session of Congress. If
we had believed the rumors from the South,
and tlie magnificient menaces which came on
every wind that blew northward over the Po
tomac, w'c should have been confident that the
first thing done after Bank’s election would be
the retirement of tlie Southern members in a
body from the Halls of Congress, and the pro
mulgation of another Declaration of Indepen
dence. The threats were disregarded, Banks
was elected, the South, in the person of Mr.
Aiken, his southern competitor, rose up to do
him honor and conduct him to liis official seat,
and we heard no more of a dissolution of the
Union. Let Fremont be elected, and the cry
of disunion will be hushed as suddenly as it
then was.”
The Baltimore Patriot even, a journal which
we have always regarded one of the best,
truest and most ably conducted papers in Ma
ryland, assumes the traitor’s sentiment and
Language, and mocks its brethren of the South.
The viper’s fang is full of poison. Read and
learn its position.
“But is the Enquirer, while hurling its de
nunciations against all who differ from it in
opinion, quite certain that it speaks the senti
ment of Virginia ? There is a hardy, trans
montane population within the limits of that
State which, notwithstanding the fierce pug
nacity displayed by our contemporary, can
never be roused to join in its rebellious cry.
Still less could it be brought to carry out in
practice, the treason which the Enquirer
preaches. If any secession at all takes place,
i it will be the secession of Western Virginia
from the seaboard counties —but not from the
Union.
“ Carolina fire-eaters have pointed out, in
magniloquent sentences, the admirable capa
bilities of the South for carrying on a defen
sive war. They have shown how batteries,
placed in this pass, and rifles bristling on that
hillside, could w'ork destruction on an advanc
ing foe. Col. Brooks has, moreover, advised,
in the event of Fremont’s election, that a gal
lant army of Southerners, equipped with
bowie-knife and revolver, shall march in grim
procession to Washington, and seize upon the
Government archives and treasury. Our im
pulsive neighbor of the Enquirer straightway
blows a bugle blast, and raises the war cry of
the old Convenanters, “To your tents, 0 Is
rael ! ” But neither the defensive capacity of
of the Southern States, nor the tempting sug
gestion of Col. Brooks, nor “ the windy sus
pirations of forced breath,” of the Richmond
Enquirer, can stimulate a patriotic people,
proud of their national renown, glorying in
their national prosperity, reverencing their
national destiny, and sensible of the power
which that nationality ensures, to sally forth
on so Quixotic an expedition, or even to at
tempt to crush out the memory of the past,
and the hope of the future, by the act which
would entail upon their posterity a bitterer
destiny than that which befell the children of
Adam under the weight of the primeval
curse.”
To our own supineness and want of decis
ion are we indebted to the present state of af
fairs. Had the people of the South acted in
stead of Resolved in 1851, they would not notv
be taunted with cowardice and imbecility.
With an army of enemies on our borders and
traitors in the camp, it becomes the people of
the South to be circumspect, vigilant and
determined. Cautiousness, when carried to
an extreme, as has been demonstrated, begets
cowavtlice. It is time that the people of the
South ought to be vigilant and prompt in
marshaling for the defence of their rights,
their families and their fire-side altars.—Co
lumbia Times.
“ Lafayette told a camp anecdote of tlie
revolution one morning at President Monroe’s
breakfast table, of such gout,” writes Wirt to
his friend Morris, “ that I think Pope ought
to have it in his budget. Hay asked him if
Lord Sterling was renlly a nobleman by birth,
or only a lord by courtesy. The Marquis said
he did not know how that was, but that there
never was a lord that was prouder of his title,
that no one could say “lord ” or “ lordship ”
in his hearing, but that he thought he was the
person spoken of. In proof of which he sta
ted that one of Sterling’s soldiers was sen
tenced to be shot for some offence, and as the
poor devil was going to the place of execution,
with his finds manacled behind him, lie rais
ed his eyes to heaven, and in the agony of
his despair exclaimed, “Lord ’nave mercy on
me ! ” Says Sterling with all the importance
of Jupiter, with both cheeks puffed up with !
rage, “I'll be damned if I do,” imagining he
alone could be the object of the ejaculation.
It was exceedingly well-told and produced a
high effect.— Mobile Tribune.

Fremont Ticket in Virginia.
Tlie Fremont Electoral Ticket in Virgin,
of which we hear so much in the Nortlien
papers, was proposed and nominated bv
Fillmore organ in this city—whether iii
spirit of fun, or with a serious purpose
aiding the Black Republican party, is met
than we will undertake to determine. Tit
National American was certainly the firstu
suggest a Fremont Ticket for this State, at;
to publish a list of Electors for the Black ll
publican politicians, who being extreme!
anxious to divest Fremont of his exclusive!
sectional character, were only too glad of tin
opportunity to deceive the people of the Non!
with the idea that he is seriously supported it
Virginia. So tlie American’s “ Electoral Tick
et for Fremont in Virginia” was paraded will
exultation in the Black Republican paper..
But tlie thing did not end here. The Fillmoi;
people in t!:is State, by whom the Fremont
ticket ivas originally nominated ostensibly a;
a joke, accept the fiction on the authority(
the Black Republican papers, and re-publisb
it as a grave reality ! The invention travels
North, is endorsed by the Fremont press, i :
sent back, and again issued here as genuine
currency! Now, this may be intended as t
capital jest, but it lias a very ugly look. .1
man was indicted of forgery for “play
fully plagiarizing ” another person’s signa
ture.
There is no Fremont ticket in this Stale,
and there W'ill be none. The gentlemen of
whose names such unwarrantable use is made,
will no doubt indemnify themselves for the in
jury. Tlie authors of the libel are not seem
from punishment perhaps as they flattered
themselves. —Richmond Enquirer.

These are the great levers that govern the

The press makes people patriotic, the pulp l
religious, but women sway all things. There
would be no going to church if there were r>
