. Colnrabla, H. c.
A special correspondent of tho Charles
ton Nows writes from Columbia, under
date of tho 22d, giving the following de
tails of quite a sensation In South Caroli
na’s capital:
This morning Assistant Adjutant Gen
eral Elliot horso-whipped a white man
mimed Kavanqgh, an assistant secretary
in the ofilco of His Excellency, Governor
Scott. Tho secuo of this aflmir wits the
stairway in tho Executive office. Tho
cause is said to bo a letter received by the
wifo of tho Assistant Adjutant Gcnural—
a letter ralculatcd, as ouo may Infer, to
displease the husband—which ho lmd rear
son to believe was written by Kavanagh.
Thahusband’s indignation round vent in
this affair. Tho drubbing was given with
a heavy horso-whin, aud the amount was
liberal. Kavanneli is said to deny having
written tlio letter. A good deal of excite
ment prevails. Tho negroes enjoy it vast
ly, and tho sympathy with tho prompt
visitation of justice, as this is understood
to be, is not unreasonable. Knvanngli is
said to be an officer high in the Grand Ar
my of the Republic, and, withal, a carpet
bagger high In favor with tho powers that
he. So consequences may come or tills af
fair of which the uninitiated public havo
no idea, for Elliot is a power in himself,
and Mnssacli usetts (his native State) looks
to him with fond hopes. He is her net and
ideal of tho man and brother, sent down to
Carolina to show us the superiority of tlio
black to tho white race. Ills role herein—
in the fracas—is the most honorable in
which he has been thus far seen to appear.
All parties cry to him, “Lay onMcDuffi”
Threats of snooting are heard of about
town, but public expectation is not raised
very high by these threats.
A OImh of Brandy,
’Can’t hurt anybody! Why I know a
person, yonder he is now, on high ’clmngo,
a specimen of manly beauty, a portly six
footer; ho lias the bearing of a prince, ho
is one of our merchant princes. His face
wears the hue of health, and now, at th6
;e of fifty-odd, ho lias tlio quick, clastic
_.ep of our young men of twenty-five, and
none more full of wit aud mirth than he;
and I know ho never dines without brandy
and water, and never goes to bed without
a terrapin or oyster supper, with plenty of-
champagne, and more than that, ho was
never known to bb drunk. So hero is a
living exemplar aud disproof of tho lem-
icrance twaddle about the dangerous ua-
•uro of an occasional glass, and tlio de
structive cffectB of a tempefnto uso of good
liquors.”
Now it bo happened that this specimen
of safe brandy drinking was a relation of
ours. He died, in n year or two after that,
with a chronic diarrhoea, a common end
of tliose who are never drunk, nor never
out of liquor. Ho left his widow a splen
did mansion up town, and aelenr five thou
sand a year; besides a large fortuuo to
each of his children; for he nad ships on
every sea and credit at every counter, but
which lie lmd no occnsion to use. Months
before ho died—ho wns a year in dying—
ho could cat nothlug without distress, nud
at death the whole alimentary canal wns
amass of disease; in tho midst of Ids mil
lions ho died of inanition. That is not
tho half, reader. He had been a steady
drinker for twenty-eight years. He left a
legacy to his children which we di,d not
mention. Scrofula had been eating, up
one daughter for fifteen years; another is
in the madhouse; the third and fourth were
of unearthly beauty; there was a grandeur
in that beauty; but they blighted, and pal
ed, and laded, into heavou, wo trust, in
C(l, uuu wucu, 1UMJ licit.veil, nu uuot. m
their sweetest teens; another is tottering
on tho verge of the grave, and only one is
left with all tho senses, and each of thorn

Confederate Heroism.
Whatever else may be written about tho
late war may bo true or felso', tho follow
ing from the pon of Gen.- J. A. Early, Of
Virginia, will novor fie-disputed: .
“I beltove that tho world has never pro
duced a body of men superior in courage,
patriotism, and endurance to tho.private
soldiersof tho Confederate armies. I have
repeatedly scon those soldiers submit, will
cheerfulness, to privations and liardshi it
which would appear to be olmost incredi
ble; and tlio wild cheers of our brave meb,
(which woro bo different from the studied
hurrahs of tho Yankees,) when their thin
lines sent back opposing hosts of Foderal
troops, staggering, reeling, have .often
thrilled overy fibre in my heart. I havo
seen with-my own eyes, ragged, barofoot-
cdrtnd hungry Confederate soldiorspei
form deeds, which, if performed in day
of yore, by mailed warriors armor, won d
havo inspired tho harp of tho minstrel,
and,tho pen of tho poet.”

A Dae It woods Adventure.
A Vlrglnta banker, who was tlio chair
man of a noted infidel club, wns onco trav
elling through Kentucky, having with him
bank bills to tlio amount oCY25,000.—
When he oanio to a louoly forest, whore
robberies and murders were sntd to ho fre
quent, ho wns said to ho lost, through tak
ing tho wrong road. Tlio darkness of tlio
night camo quickly over him, and how to
escape tha threatonod danger, lie know not.
In his alarm ho suddenly espied in tho dis
tance a dim light, aud urging his horso on
ward, ho at length eiuno to a wretched
looking cabin. He knocked; tho door was
ppcuod by a woman who said that her hus-
iand was put hunting, hut would return,
ind she wns sure ho would cheerfully give
dm shelter for tho night. Tlio gpntloman
mt up Ills horso and entered tho cabin,
mt with feelings that can ho hotter imag
ined than doseribod. Here ho wns with a
largo sum of money, and perhaps in tho
Uouso of tho robbor whoso name wus a
terror to tlio country.
In a short time Elio man of tho house
returned. Huhudun n deerskin shirt, a
Jcnrskln cap, seemed much fatigued, and
n no good humor, Ho felt for Tils pistols
nhis pockets, aud placed thorn so ns to be
rendy for instant use. Tlio man asked
tho stranger to retire to lied, but ho declin
ed, sayinsr ho would sit up by thd fire nil
n gilt, Tlio man urged, but tho more tlio
infidel was alarmed. Ho felt assured that
this was his last night on earth, hut ho de
termined to sell his life ns dearly os he
could. I His infidel principles gave him no
comfort. His fear grew Into a perfcot ag-
-uy. What was to no doue?
At length tho backwoodsman aroso,
and rcaoTiing to tho wooden Bhclf, look
down an old hook and raid:
‘Well, stranger, If you won’t go to bod,
I will; but It is always iny custom to read
a chapter of the Holy Scriptures before I
go to bod.’
What aclmnge did thcRe-words produce?
Alarm wns at onco .removed from this
skeptic’s mind. Though avowing himself
had now more couildenco in
an infidel, lie
tho Bible. Ho felt that a man who kept
an old Bible iu his house' and read it, aud
bent his knees in prayor wns no robber or
murderer. Ho listened to tho simple pray-
or of tha good man, and at onco dismissed
his fears, and laid down in the cabin and
slept iib calmly as lie did under Uis father’s
roof. Pram that night ho ceased to revile
tho good old Bible. Ho became a sincere
Christian, and often related tlio story of
his eventful lourney, to prove tho folly of
infidelity.—J&.
Horrible Fanaticism In Rnsvta
Tho horrible atrocities of tho Skopzi,
tile-fanatical sect of Russia, are still exci

paper gives au account of oneOT thoir re

ty of four hundred of these fenatics left

It will be seen from tho following which
wo clip from tho Now York Herald, that
all New England has been shaken by earth
quakes. No portion of that puritan land,
however, has been swallowed up, as far
ns heard from. Its time, in the mercy of
Providence, it seems, has not yet come:'

Progress In Jnpnli,
Japan is going ahead. A railroad is to
bo built from Kobe to Osncnand afeic-

mint is about to be established by the gov

tion under foreign teaching. These move
ments mark tho positive inauguration of a
new ago of civilization and progress in
Jnpanf and of China, too. The harriers
which for thousands of years have exclu

nations all “outsido barbarinns” are bro

A short timq ago a conscientious asses
sor in AhbdvRlo county wont to a planta
tion for the purposo of assessing the taxes
of tlio freedmen employed there. Tho
freedmen were about thirteen in number,
nnd the. assessment occupiod the official
from morning 1 to night. When tho work
wns done, tlio assessor found tiiat tho wholo
amount that tlio frccdinon wore assessed
—apart from thd educational tax ono dol
lar each—would rcalizo for tlio State just
sovonly-flvo cents, provided that none of
the thirteen tax-payers failed to pay tho
tax. Tho assessor receives threo dollars
for Ills day’s work and consumed about
fifty cents’ worth of stationery: so thnl it
costs the State three dollars and fifty cents
to obtain tlie-riglit to collect three-fourths
of ono dollar. Well may wo rlao up and

Tragedy nt Non.
Tho St. Helena Gunrdldn of tho 2d ult.,
relates a sad story, perhaps tho saddest
that 1ms ever been recorded in connection
with tlio coolio traffic. Tho Freiich bark
Tamaris, Captain Itannie, loft Macao on
tho Oth of Fohruary, 1800, with three hun
dred emigrants, a Chinese doctor and a
Portuguese interpreter, besides eighteen
in crew. According to tho account of
thnsoof tho seamen wlia are still onboard
tho Tamurls, everything passed oh pleas
antly until within about two hundred and
seventy miles of the Islo of Jnva; a revolt
broke out among the free emigrants, who
seemed to have got, the best of it, tho crow
taking to tho boats, deserting tlio siiipj and
leaving their unfortunate captain, who
either did not wish or wns not able to aban
don his ship, a ready prey to those onrag-
ed semi-savages. What happened to this
unfortunate captain wo cannot learn for
certain; according to tlio intcrpretoi on
board the Tamurls, lie was out up and
thrown overboard. Thirty days theso
savages remained in possession of the ship,
when they were captured by a Dutch man-
of-war, which lmd been sent in pursuit.—
urnnij nuiui uuu ucuii duuh hi jniinuiv.—
Tho Dutch found- a Chinese installed in
the late captain’s quarters, hut could npt
discover tlio slightest trace of M. Rnnnie,
They placed him and tho other leaders of
the revolt into irons and took the ship to
Padang. At Padang the remains off tho
former crow, whohadlanded in Java, hero
rejoined their ship. A now captain and
chief officer were appointed, and tho ship
apostles from 1 tho party, called for a hu
man sacrifice. Five victims were, at oneo
selected, placed on a number of wagons
which lmd been piled up for tho purpose,
and burnt alive. A woman who had dis
tinguished herself by tho violence of hor
religious paroxysms seized the shaft of
tho cart and neat two young girls to death;
while another femalo wns trodden under
foot nnd then literally torn to pieces by
the fanatical crowd. Other details aro
given of tho horrors enacted, which are
utterly unfit for publication. Tho govern
or of the town heard of the facts ana sent a
company of BOldiers to tho spot, whero the
whole party wns arrested and placed in
confinement, thus stopping ftirthur excess
es. It is hardly to he wondered at that
tho Russian aurliorltics-are in perplexity
how to deal with the members or this sect.
Tbts liana Never Struck Me.
Wo recently heard tho following most
touching Incident:
A little boy lmd died. His body wns
laid out iu a darkened, retired room, wait
ing to belaid away in tho lone, cold grave.
Uis afflicted mother and bereaved little sis
ter went in to look at the sweet face of tho
precious sleeper, for his face was benutifhl
oven in death. As they stood gazing upon
tho form of the ono she so loved and
cherished, tho littlo girl asked to take his
lmnd. Tho mother at first did not think
it best, hut as tlio clilld repented tho re
quest, and seemed very anxious about it,
alia took tho cold, bloodless hand of her
slcoping boy, and placed it in the hand of
hie weeping sister.
The dear child looked at it a moment,
caressed it fondly, and then looked up to
her mother through her tears' of afl'oclion
and lovo and said:
“Mother, this little band never struck
mcl”
Young readers, have you always been
Bogentio to brothers and sisters, that, were
you to die, such a tribute ns tilts could he
paid to your memory f Could a brother or
sister take your hand, were it cold in death,

Tlio winter of 1859-’fl0 was romnrkably
mild, only parallelled by tho winters of
1832,828 and '84. Since 1850-00 tiio years

to be found that quality of healing and
soothing after the bruisss and wounds

With no stout hoart to guard thoe,
And no strong lmnd to stoor!
