Courtship and Love.— This is a fine senti
ment uttered in the play “ Under the Gaslight,”
now vory popular in New York, on the subject
of courtship and love :
“ Courtship,” says the sad girl—who has had
a woful experience—“ is the text from which
the whole solemn sermon ol married life takes
its theme. As lovers are discontented and un
happy so will they be as wives and husbands.—
So ns you would be happy all the years of your
life, listen to the voice advising j’ou :
“Let the woman you look upon he wise or
vain, beautiful or homely, rich or poor, she has
but one thing which she can really give or re
fuse—her heart ! Her,beauty, her wit, her ac
complishments she may sell to you—but her
love is the treasure without money and without
price! She only asks in return that when you
look upon her your eyes shall speak a mute de
votion, that when you address her your voice
shall he gentle, loving, and kind. That you
shall not despise her because she cannot under
stand all at once your vigorous thoughts-aiul
ambitious designs—for when misfortune and
evil have defeated your greatest purposes, her
love remains to console you !
•‘You look to the trees for strength and gran
deur—do not despise the flowers because their
fragrance is all they havo to give. Remember,
love is all a woman has to give—but it is the
only earthly thing that God permits us to carry
beyond the grave.”
The Street Railroad. —Commendable pro
gress is being made with the. street railroad.
The cross-ties mid stringers have been put down
iuLincoln street, between Broad and Ellis,and
the track will soon ho completed to the ceme
tery. The line of the road, for the present,
within the city limits, will boas follows: On the
South side of Broad, from McKinne to Lincoln,
down Lincoln to Watkins, up Watkins to
Elbert, through that street to the North side of
Greene, up Greene to Kollock, thence to Fen
wick, up Fenwick to McKinne (Carmichael's
Mills), thence to Broad street, This route, it I
Will be perceived, will accommodate a great
numbc-r of our citizens, as well as many residing
iu Woodlawu. We presume the inhabitants of
tho Sand Hills will not he long iu concluding
that an extension of tho road to their doors
"• will be just what is needed to enhance properly
thore.
. County Court.— Judge McLawfl presided
yesterday in the preliminary examination of
Thomas Orlilf,'"charged with killing Eugene
Bishop some mouths since. Witness for the
State testified. The defense offered no wit
nesses and the examination was adjourned over
to Monday morning next, when counsel will
argue the case.
At the time of the death of young Bishop wff
mentioned nothing of the assault made upon
him by Orliff a day or so previous, having been
requested by relatives ot the deceased to remain
silent on the subject, and nlso learning that the
attending physician pronounced the death ns
resulting from causes other than injuries re
ceived at the hands of Mr. Orliff. Why the
charge has been brought against Orliff at this
time we failed to learn.
Indelible Pencils. —Messrs. Quinn & Bro.
have received a fresh supply of the popular
indelible pencils for marking linen, etc. This
pencil is similar in appearance to the ordinary
lead pencil, and will make a clear black mark
that will remain after years of wear and wash
ing. It is a great improvement over ink, as it
will not dry up, and can be used with much
greater dispatcli and economy, as there is no
risk of blotting. No preparation being required
except the dampening of the fabric to he
marked, with soda or saleratus water and on
troublesome directions to he followed in its
use, It will save much inconvenience to house
keepers and all who have occasion to mark
their clothing.
Eclipse of the Moon.— According to the
Georgia Almanac , which is published at this
office, there will be an eclipse of the moon to
day. The eclipse will begin at this point nt sb.
33m. 41s. ; the moon will rise flh. tin.; middle
ol eclipse, 7b. 2in. 55.; ecliptic opposition, 7h.
Din. 9s. ; end of eclipse, Bh. 31m. 295. ; duration
of visibility, 2b. 21m. 295. So lot everybody be

Hamburg Postmaster.— George Datum,
Esq., has been appointed Postmaster at Ham
burg, 8. C., iu place of Mr. D. IX. Kentme, re

, City Court.— This court adjourned nt an
f early hour yesterday morning on account of the
illness of the clerk, Mr. Taliaferro.
Early Frost.— The N. O. Crescent says:
•• The unusually early appearance of equinoctial
weather indicates an early frost, while this in
dication is moreover confirmed by the arrival
a snipe and water fowl, which already are
South for winter quarters. This latter
during the first week ot September
is almost without a precedent.” A similar re
mark was made a week ago by a paper publish
ed on the border of the lakes, owing to the
unusually early flight of wild geese seen there.

Oan We Educate the Negro ?
Education is the only legitimate basis for the
suffrage. It is the habit of men who strain for
notoriety by advocating extremes to obscure
oy clouds of rhetoric the simple fundamental
truths winch ought, for the sake of good gov
ernment, to be kept clearly in view. Ameri
cans are said to be habitually dazzled by suc
cess and to despise history, but they cannot
avert by ignoring the consequences that reason
and experience ensure as results of a "iven
line of policy. Nothing is more certainthan
that the lower the average intelligence of its
electors, the lower will l»e the character of a
representative assembly. The character of
our national government has been sinking for
quarter of a century in obedience to this law.
J be Congressional standards of morality, In
tellect and culture have depreciated in about
the same relative degree. Ignorant immigra
tion, the corruption of cities, the universal and
debasing pursuit of more wealth—iu the ab
sence of other atluiudble objects or ambition—
are among the causes of a degeneracy which
intelligent people cannot fail to see, and which,
if candid, they freely admit. At this juncture,
when the weakness and dangers which sub
stract from the benefits ot our system are al
ready augmented to an alarming degree—a de
gree which leads many of our wisest thinkers
to despair of the permanent success ol that
system—it is deliberately proposed to take a
step which, by vastly increasing the collective
iguoranco of constituencies, promises to ag
gravate iu a similar ratio the evils thn6 deplor
ed. It is proposed to admit to the franchise
something like a million of colored men, most
of them emancipated slaves, and to leaven
our already deteriorating national assembly
with the elements such a measure is calculated
to produce. That this can lie done and the na
tional edifice stiff hold together for some time
longer, may be possible enough. The discon
tent that comes of conscious degradation is,
perhaps, an essential precursor of revolution,
and a community which accepts with compla
cency—or with cynical apathy—the presence in
Congress of thieves, gamblers, and pugilists,
may assent to their association with new mem
bers quite probably their superiors iu morality
if not in color of their skins. But the indiffer
ence which might tolerate such a condition of
things would be unlikely to lust. Those who
wish to retain power seldom weigh or take
heed of the ultimate consequences to others of
the measures they adopt for the purpose. The
ignorance of the great mass of American voters,
even if wc claim for them superiority over the
commonalty of other nations, on subjects of
ethnology and historical analogy is almost as
great as their ignorance ot political economy;
and the exhaustion of a great war, the stress of
fanaticism, the reluctance of the dominant par
ty to foregrf aught which may protract its
tenure, and a certain sympathy for the much
wronged black race, unite with this ignarance
to gain the popular assent to a measure wliose
proportions and significance the popular mind
does not understand. But the instincts of race
are strong, and with the uneducated they are
apt to run into hitter prejudice. The more we
lower our representative assembly—and the
process seems a graduated inevitability—the
greater Die risk that this prejudice, now half
smothered, will burst forth into angry flames.
White men will never consent, iu the long run,
to be ruled by black men ; and the conflict once
begun, where will it end, and how ?
Among certain classes of the community ha
tred of the negro is a universal passion--a pas
sion which, at one time, uuder strong and mis
guided excitement, led, in New York, to de
plorable* excesses. Whether right or wrong,
this passion exists. It may be a salutary in
stinct, it may be an unreasoning prejudice ;
but lie this as it may, the sentiment must lie
taken into account by those who would rightly
calculate social forces or coutrnct political in
novations. Suppose, now, to the population
of New York should lie added an equal num
ber of negroes, or, to perfect the intended
analogy, a greater number in some wards, a
lesser in others, so that on the whole the two
races should be numerically balanced. Sup
pose, further, the franchise to be equally con
ferred upon nil. The political result would
then lie what it is proposed to bring about in
some of tho States of tho Union. How long
would it last in one case, and how long Is it
likely to last in tho other V Mr. Lincoln, with
his homely sagacity, perceived all the difficul
ties of a reply. He lias left upon record dis
tinct. and explicit warnings against, the conces
sion of a suffrage to the black race, lie knew
tin: question must arise, that ils decision in the
affirmative would tie strongly in the interest of
the dominant parly, that such a decision could
never harmoniously and peacefully be carried
into effect; and to escape tho difficulties of the
problem he even contemplated wholesale de
portation. Are onr present Republican leaders
wiser than lie ? This wHI hardly be admitted,
but the inference from their proposed action
must ho that they think so. Like many others
of their countrymen, men like Mr. Wade ap
pear to believe that because the war is over and
I lie Union preserved, the Millennium is at ham'.
Perhaps it is; hut in the meantime mankind,
with their hopes and fears, their passions and
tliefr interests, are just what they were before,
immigration is adding to the proportions of
ignorance and stupidity among the laboring i
classes rattier faster Ilian education is diminish
ing them, and in this respect we are worse, not
better off than before the war whieli is not a j
condition favorable to the-division of political i
power between antagonistic races ; but other- i
wise, save iu a growing popular impatience ot
constitutional restraints, or rather, perhaps we
should say, a growing popular indifference to 1
their disregard by public men, we are substan
tially unchanged. The number of people who -
hale slavery without loving the negro is proh- i
ably what it was five years ago —-110 more, no
less. The specious plea that the black man !
must be armed with a vote for self-protection
is perhaps more generally believed in than here
tofore ; that this means the protection of the
Radical party may be less commonly suspected.
Our own conviction lias been and still is that,
just as slavery did more harm (if less wrong)
to the whites than to the blacks, so will the
franchise in black hauds do more harm to the
latter than the former. The experiment may
not end, as some predict, In the absolute de
struction of the negro race; but so long ns
whites and blacks are what they arc on this con
tinent, so long do we believe their permanent
and peaceful association upon the basis of en
forced social and political equality to be utterly ,
hopeless and impossible.
Why, then, can we not educate the negro V
The question is natural, plausible, aud humane.
Why not? Tho objection lies iu one of the
most amazing discrepancies that lias ever ex
isted between theory and practice. It is said
that we cau form no just idea of the negroes’
capacity for development because of the pro
tracted oppression to which they have been
subjected. This seems rational enough; but >
we cannot forgot that lor centuries the African
race, master of its own destinies upon its own
continent, has made no progress whatever, but 1
remains sunk in the very lowest, depths ot bar
barism. All that can be said to this is that
contact, association, mingling with a higher
race, will produce different results. But morally,
intellectually, and physically, this contact,
while only t'cmporily a benefit to the inferior,
seems invariably 10 be a detriment to the
superior race. Are nations to be expected col
lectively to submit to a degradation from which
individuals are justified in shrinking? The 1
condition of Iho mongrels in Mexico Is a solemn ]
warning against an admixture which ends only 1
in destruction. It is true that opposite races 1
are not. compelled to intermarry because they
vote together ; yet this, which sounds couclu- 1
sive, means little or nothing. The Spaniards 1
sufficiently despised the Indians at the time of 1
the conquest of Mexico, but the bloods were 1
mingled notwithstanding to produce what we 1
now see. i'erhaps it might bo well to let the i
negro alone for awhile. Perhaps it would be
well, before undertaking either to educate or <
enfranchise him, to try to educate those who
already have the suffrage. The number of
grossly ignorant persons who vote is increas
ing, and increasing relatively to the whole vote
thrown. Already the intellect, the taste, tho
culture of the country are swamped, and count
lor little or nothing in its government or pro
gress. Is it wise to carry Litis state of thiugs
still farther—to place nil power stiff more re
servedly hi the hands of the ignorant, the de
based, and the needy ? Possibly it is inevitable.
Perhaps it is altogether inseparable from insti
tutions like ours that they should devclopc
downwards in progressive decadence until the
lowest deep is attained and the nation is ripe
for despotism. We would gladly hope for bet
tor thiugs; but when Agrarianism is proposed
as a bait to the populace by a leader of one tac
tion and repudiation is similarly suggested by
a leader of the other, we cannot doubt that the
country is almost prepared to accept extension
of the franchise iu any and every direction, re
gardless of education or consequences, and can
six: little promise in the luture, or at least until
onr craze of mob-worship has run its feverish
course and brought its usual fruits.
Dr. Bellows on the Germans.— Rev. Dr.
Bellows writes from Germany to the Liberal
Christian : “No class of persons iu Germany
has touched me so tunch as the class just above
the peasants and just below the proprietors—
tho lowest stratum of the middle class. Serious,
modest, intelligent, humble, industrious, self
respectful, there is, especially among the
women, a certain promise of spiritual life, an
unworldliness guaranteed by their inability to
participate in tho pleasures of those abovo
them, and their distaste for the habits of those
below them, which seems to say that lrom them
is likely to spring a new generation of souls,
unspoiled by empty metaphysical subtleties,
and uncorruptcd by worldliness.”
A New Mission for the Republican
Party. —Tho central Radical organ at Colum
bus, Ohio, proclaims a new mission for the Re
publican party. It says :
“It is the aim of tho Republican party now,
and we hope it will keep it always iu view nntil
the object is accomplished, to make this nation
a Christian nation in fact, as it is in name—a
true vice-regeney of God.”

29th of August, arrived at this port yesterday
evening.
i The German mail steamship Allemania,
Captain Meier, which left Southampton on the

evening.
By these arrivals we have mail details of
our cable dispatches to the 29th of August, two
days, later thau the report of the Hermann,
published in tho Herald yesterday morning.
By special mail telegram from Paris, dated
August 27, wc are informed that Napoleon’s
speeches nt Arras and Lille, reported in the
Herald to-day, produced a “profound sensa
tion” in the French capital.
Nothwithstauding Napoleon’s speeches and
the pacific tone of the French and many of the
German newspapers, influiutial, well-informed
persons and interests in Eugland believed iu
the near approach of war on the continent.
The advices from England state that a very
general stagnation prevailed, both in political
and commercial circles, when the City of Balti

It is annonneed that the Austrian Govern
ment has drawn up a circular to bo dispatched
to its representatives abroad, pointing out in
what manner the meeting which has taken
place between the French and Austrian sover
eigns at Salzburg should be Interpreted, and
stating that the results of the meeting afford
eminent guarantees for the maintenance of
peace.
A dispatch from Berlin says:
The deputation of Hessian nobles has arrived
here, and held their first meeting under the
presidency of Herr Essemburg. Capt. -Kohler
is going to London and Toulon to accept, on
behalf of the Government, from the contract
ors, the iron clad frigates Kronprinzand Frede
rick Carl.
The Official Gazette , ol Florence, of August
28, says certain journals, reierring to the disa
greeable incident which has occurred between
Italy and France relative to the formation ot
the Antibes Legion, have spoken of occult notes
on the ono side and threatening notes on the
other. Negotiations are still pending. The
Government is obliged to impose, on itself the
greatest reserve, but is now aide to declare that
all such statements are entirely incorrect.
The Mormons held a conference nt Birming
ham on Sunday, the 25th of August, nt which
it was asserted that Mormonism was rapidly
spreading in England. Elder Richards, one of
the “ twelve Apostles,” gave an unqualified de
nial to the rumor that the three chief Eiders of
the body had seceded from Brigham Young on
the question of polygamy, and said that the
“Saints” were perfectly united in Utah. lie
urged his hearers to leave “ this land of ignor
ance and superstition, and wend their way to
the Zion across the waters.”
With regard to tho Spanish insurrection the
latest, accounts by mail are conflicting. Ac
cording to Madrid advices the insurgents In
Catalonia had, to the number ot one thousand,
taken advantage of an amnesty and surrendered
to the authorities ; the insurgents in Aragon
had dwindled from one thousand two hundred
to lour hundred, and the remainder of the revo
lutionists were getting to the French frontier
as quickly as possible.
From France we are told that Spanish dis
tricts heretofore unaffected, had given in their
adherence to the insurrection ; tlial General
Prim was directing the movement in Catalonia;
and that in the Basque provinces tho whole
population and tho clergy were ready to take
arras in t he “ sacred cause of revolution.”

concession to the Christians of institutions of
self-government completely independent of the
Mahometans.
Tho Hong Kong (China) Overland Trade Re
port, of July 12, remarks on the existence of a
state of society in that city as nearly parallel
with what wo are accustomed to among a
numerous class of citizens of New York. It
says :
A great Innovation is about to be introduced
in Hong Kong, namely, the legalization, under
severe restrictions, of native gambling liouscb.
Opposed, ns this measure seems, to the ordiua
ly spirit of English legislation, it is very gene
rally admitted to have become inevitable. The
Chinese arc devoted to gambling to an extent
that puts the efforts of the police to suppress
it in Hong Kong completely at defiance. Raids
used to be continually going on, but no effect
at all was produced, and meanwhile the keep
ers of the illicit gambling houses offered such
bribes to the constables that it was found ut
terly impossible to keep the jiolicc force free
from corruption. To attempt the defense ot
the repressive system on moral grounds, a de
fense which would have involved the assump
tion that the colonial Government expected to
reform a floating population constantly recruit
ed from the hundreds ot millions in the Chi
nese empire, would be too absurd, even for the
most fanatical purist. The introduction of
gambling bouses will put an end to a state of
the law which in a colony mainly Inhabited by
Chinese was an outrage on common sense.
Tho Colombo (Ceylon) Observer of July 30
says:
There Is again a comparative increase in the
export table of coffee in favor nt tho current
season. Although only two vessels cleared
with onr staple during the fortnight ending
26th instant, yet the total result to that date
shows an export of 756,584 ewts., against
754,247 to the same period of 1866. The weath
er has been more favorable lately lor curing
aud shipping operations, and several depart
ures of vessels are likely to take place before
the next homeward mail leaves ; so that we ex
pect our calculations ot an export tor the sea
son of 840.000 ewts. will be borne ont by the
result on the 30th of September.
Advices lrom Nagasaki, Japan, to May 18,

Freaks of a Lunatic. —A man assuming to
be the Son of God, and predicting that Presi
dent Johnson has only forty-eight hours to live,
has made himself prominent hero since Thurs
day. His name is John C. Clarke, and he is
said to he from Wisconsin. Yesterday morn
ing he appeared at tho State Department and
endeavored to get an Interview with Secretary
Seward in order to obtain a letter of introduc
tion to tho President. Officer Nutting was
called upon to arrest him, which ho did, and
took him to the police headquarters. lie had
remained there some time in custody, yet was
not placed hi the lockup, when, watching his
opportunity, ho took leg hail and was soon in
the street, making good speed, and Mr. Thos.
Feniour, clerk to Major Richards, following
him at a lively pare. Sir. Feniour succeeded In
catching the tugitive when he reached Sixth
street, and took him hack to the station house,
whore he affirmed that ho was a Sou of God
and had a mission from God, and that Andrew
Johnson’s days wero numbered—he would not
live forty-eight hours ; he was going to have an
interview with him, and would see him at all
hazards. Ho was taken below aud locked up
In a cell, when he remarked, “ This is a pretty
place to put the Son of God in.”
He will be hold until something more can be
ascertained about him; and if it is found he is
insane, as ho appears to he, an effort will be
made to get him into the Insane Aeylnm. He
is a man about forty years old, and says ho hos
been In the city two weeks. He has no place
to stay, and says that “ like tho blessed Saviour
lie lias the hearts of the people, nnd goes from
house to house.”
About a year ago, it will be remembered, an
insane man sought interviews with the Presi
dent, that ho had a special mis
sion from Chicago. After failing repeatedly to
get an audience, ho went off to Chicago and
wrote a letter to the President, stating that he
had tried several times to see him, but now tho
Presidcut must come to Chicago and sec him
if he (the President) wanted to hear the import
ant communications he hnd to make.

MESSRS. LITTLE A MARSHALL:
Gentlemen : I used, during (lie past season, one of “ INGERSOLL’S PORTABLE COT -
TON PRESSES,” purchased of you last September. 1 have always been prejudiced in favor of
the “Screw Press,” and notbiug but dire necessity induced me try any other. I take pleasure,
however, in adding my testimony in favor of its entire adaptation to the wants of a Cotton Plan
tation. It has surpassed my most sanguine expectations. I have packed with but two hands,
yet I prefer four—two at eaelt lover. My bales all weighed over 500 lbs. The first lot I sent to
market averaged 562 lbs. My impression is that 500 lbs. is about the capacity of tbo Press, and
a greater number of pounds subject the follow-block to too much risk, unless the sides of the
cotton box was increneed. ft would add greatly to the value of tbo Press if the cotton box was
ten iuchcs longer, fu lmste, I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Ac.,
B. W. LAWTON.
I’. S.—l took my Press down nnd carried it some four miles to pack the crop of a ueighbor,
who failed to have a “Screw” built; lie was so much pleased that lie has determined to aban
don the “Screw” nnd purchase “Ingersoll’s Press.” B. W. L.
o
Office of King’s Mountain Railiioad Company, >
Yorkvili.e, 8. 0., April 15, 1867. j
Gentlemen: i have just received your letter of February 14th — upon my return to this
place, after an absence of two months—and I bis reply may bo 100 late for your “ Descriptive
Circular of Ingorsoll’s Cotton Press.”
The Press I used in packing my cotton last year worked admirably, packing with ease from
00 to 525 lbs. With good active hands to woi k it, I am satisfied that Irota eighteen to twenty
bales might readily lie packed in a day.
This Press combines the advantages of lightness and consequent portability and simplicity
(being easily managed by any one of ordinary intelligence). Great compressing force, with lit
tle motive ]>ower, and “last, but not least,” it is worked entirely by band, thus saviug for tbe
farm horses the hard labor imposed upon them by tbe use of the ordinary “ Screw."
Respectfully, Ac., yours, . , E. M. LAW.

rii «
.A. II IB TIE, with the HOOP complete, weighs no
more than the usual rope used In billing cotton, and
renders an allow.me* for tare unnecessary. It. looses
no slack while putting on, and Is so perfect that the
necessity for heavy hoops, to make up for deflcioncie
in the TIE, is entirely obviated.
Oan lie sold by the pound or ton, as cheaply as the ’
heavy hoops and less perfect ties. Much and every
TIE is warranted perfect.
As an evidence of the estimation in which these
TIEB are held, we herewith append the certificate of
the Agent of the Central Cotton Press in this city. It
a Competent, judge can be found anywhere as to the
merits of Iron Ties, this gentleman may surely be so
considered, as he prosses thousands of bales of Cotton
every year, and Ties of all patents are constantly pass
ing through bis hands.
Offiok of ran Cbstral Cotton Press, ?
Savannah, May 27th, 1867. S
Messrs. IC. W- Bins & Co.,
Agents for Dillon’s “ Universal Tie,” Savannah.
Dkar Bins : In my business of compressing Cotton,
I have bad occasion to examine closely all of the vari
ous Ties for iron bands used in baling Cotton, and
pleasure in testifying to the superiority overall others
of the *• UNIVERSAL TIE.” It is os easily ad
justed and is much stronger than any other Tie.
A Tie tliafis not good at the Press is not good at
the Plantation, as nearly all tlio Cotton is compressed
at the Ports, and a weak Tie must then bo replaced by
a good one at the expense of the planter. I have
never seen one of your TIKS break, though I pitched
a bale of Cotton secured by them out of a ecood
story to tlie ground without any break to the fall.
Under these circumstances I unhesitatingly recom
mend the “ UNIVERSAL TIE ” to every Planter, as
combining the greatest simplicity, with unequalled
strength.
