Governor Scott Interviewed.
Wo-aro informed that comp of / the
citizens of thia placo liad an interview,
on Monday, with Governor Scott, to
represent to him that tho disturbed con?
dition of the publie mind, resulting from
some oconrrenoes here and' certain ex?
pression used, npadjB 1* obligatory upon
bim'to interposeilia authority and pro?
vide for tranquility. We are further in?
formed-andr this is what we are moro
especially looking at-that Governor
Scott* . in .the cpa rae of tho interview,
sought to throw the responsibility, for
any liability to violence that may exist
in part, nt least-Upon tho white people
of Columbia; and undertook, in this
connection, to use the names of oertain
gentlemen. At the same time, Governor
Scott expressed his desiro to "let us have
peaoe." Tho citizens who called upon
Governor Scott had a right to speak for
themselves, nnd.we feel sure that their
motivea woro good. But speaking for
many other citizens, wo may say that we
are not aware ot - oby alarm or appre?
hension on the part of those with whom
wo have been brough into contact. On
the contrary, we take it that tho intelll
gen? ^,nd oobor poopie.of this community
feel perfectly competent to protect them
aelv^ shpuld^is ever unfortunately bo
rendered nece'ssaty^ And .we take oc?
casion ''.most emphatically to deny that
any rap?n.sib??ity Whatever attaches to
any one"rave Governor Scott and his
supporte?; ??f any disturbance that may
have threatened jbhe good order of this
community*-, - The peace ai Columbia
rests with him. erad, them. As for the
people, ip political opposition to Go?
vernor; Soptt ahd bis friends, they have
boen'eminently law-abidiug and forbear*
ing. They have been long-suffering and
patient. They may well B tan d astonish?
ed at theirs great moderation. They
stand now, aft. ever, on their defence
sober, disorebt and ' firm-resolved to
bear, andi orber until forbearance ceases
to bo a,virtue. ? It ill becomes his Ex?
cellency - to seek to loy upon their
shoulders Che responsibility for a crisis
that he and his advisers brought about.
The way to . peace is plain. Let his
Excellency review his sentiments, and
acknowledge that the Winchester rifle is
7io* tho best law for South Carolina. Let
him remember that if a people can be
driven to a wall, they cannot be driven
through it. Lot him boar in mind that
he is'tho Governor of all the people, and
not of a portion only, and his latter days
will be more agreeable to him and useful
to the State than his former ones havo
boen. This community have a right to
expect of the Executive deeds rather than
words. They will give Governor Scott
credit for all genuine acts done by him
in his impartial discbarge of his high
and responsiblo functions, and in the
furtherance of that public security which
is part and parcol of the prosperity of
this city and of the whole State. By "bis
fruits will the people judge him.
PEACE MOVEMENTS.-Almost every day
brings us somo new movements for
peaoe between the two contending na?
tions of Europe, and we hope and be?
lieve the consummation is not far off.
All the nations of the world, including
the belligerents themselves, are auxious
for it, and there really does not appear
to bo any serious difllculty in its attain?
ment, so far as tho terms are concerned.
If Prussia and Franco could be brought
face to face, we think there would bo no
serious difficulty in agreeing on a settle?
ment. But just there is the rub. Who
is France-or rather ber Government
and legitimate representative? Neither
Prussia nor anybody else seems to re?
gard the parties who have forcibly taken
temporary possession of the Govern?
ment, as competent to bind tho French
people. But matters cannot go on thus
much longer, and we shall not bo sur?
prised to find thoro is some truth in the
report that Bismarck was negotiating
with Bazaine, ns the strongest power in
tho nation, on tho basis of tho Prince
Imperial's enthronement, and the sup?
port of his authority by the army. Tho
force under Bazaine, united with that
captured at Sedan, is amply competent
to tho work. We aro having our full
share of suffering at tho South from the
war, and a peace that would put cotton
up to tweuty cents would bo vory ac?
ceptable to us on any terms. Besides,
wo believe, nil things considered, it
would bo tho best for tho French people.
Everybody in Franco has cou?donco in
Bazaino's ability and iutegity, and were
he to march his army to Paris, after
making a peace honorable to tho nation,
ho would doubtless bo sustained by the
people.

DEATH OP A VICE-CONSUL.-Tho Sa?
vannah papers announce tho death, on
Sunday evening, of John William Dick?
inson, British Vice Consul in that city.
? GENERAL Ljefcr^Tbe New-To?k ^fc^aW
has'' na eloquent no tico, wh?oh vrill be
read ^tk^un^^^effe^otr s We
take thejMI?wi|g fr^n??i Jil I
On a ?ljuiot aftumnf 'morniag, in ibo
land whioh be lirVed ?? weih andi asfhe
bold, served BO faithfully, tibe spirit of
gobert Edmund Lee left the olaf which
had so much ennobled, and traveled
out of this world into the great and mys?
terious land. Yesterday, the expressions
of regret which sprang from the few
who surrounded the bedside of the dying
soldier and Christian will be swelled, to?
day, into one mighty voice of sorrow,
resounding throughout bur country, and
extending over all parts of the world
whero his great genius and bis many vir?
tues are known. For, not to the South?
ern pooplo alono shall be limited the tri?
bute of a tear over tho dead Virginian.
Hero, in the North, forgetting that the
time waa when tho sword of Robert Ed?
mund Lee was drawn against ns-forget?
ting and forgiving nil tho years of blood?
shed and agony-we have long since
ceased to look upon him as the Confede?
rate leader, but have claimed him as one
of ourselves; have cherished and felt
proud of his military genius as belong?
ing to ue; have recounted and recorded
bis triumphs as our own ; have extolled
his virtues as reflecting honor upon us;
for Robert Edmund Leo was an Ameri?
can, and the great nation that gave him
birth would be, to-day, unworthy of
such a son if she regarded bim lightly.
Never had a mother a nobler son. In
him the military genius of America was
developed to-a greater extent than over
before. In him all that was pure and
lofty in mind nnd pnrpose found lodg?
ment. Dignified without presumption,
nuable without familiarity, he united all
thoso charms and manners which made
him the idol of his friends and of his sol?
diers, and won for him the respect and
admiration of the world. Even as in
the days of his triumph, glory did not
intoxicate, GO when the dark clouds
swept over him, adversity did not de?
press. From the hour that he surren?
dered his sword at Appomattox to tho
fatal autumn morning, ho passed among
mon noble in bis quiet, simple dignity,
displaying neither bitterness nor regret
over the irrevocable past. Ho conquered
us in misfortune by the grand manner
in which ho sustained himself, even as
ho dazzled us by his genius when tho
tramp of his soldiers rosounded through
the vnlfoys of Virginia.
Aud for such a man we arc all in tears
and sorrow to-day. Stauding beside his
grave, men of tho South and men of thc
North can mourn with all the bitterness
of four years of warfaro erased by the
common bereavement. May this unity
of grief-this unselfish manifestation
over the loss of the Bayard of America
in tho season of dead leavas and withered
branches which his death ushers in,
bloom aud blossom like tho distant com?
ing spring into tho flowers of a heartier
accord.
A special despatch to tho Charleston
News, dated Washington, October 21,
says:
Thc Secretary of War bas received a
despatch asking for tho assistance of tho

tend to preserve tho peaco and disband
the so-called raiders.

Here are the results of a lady's obser?
vation of tho difference betwoeu French
aud Prussian women: "A French wo?

A Prussian woman bugs bim tightly,
with tearsin ber eyes, watches until be is

A story is told of an ancient Mohawk
notion that some great misfortune would
happen if any ono spoke on Saratoga
Lake. A strong-mided English woman,
on ono occasion, while being ferried
over, insisted upon talking, and as soon
as she got over in safety, she rallied her
boatman on his superstition. lint be
had the best of it, after all, for he at
once replied: "The Great Spirit is
merciful, and knows that a white woman
cannot hold her tongue."

pretty, and a little fond of talking, and
will have two or three husbands, who
will die with grief."

and England, indeed, Balfe was far bet?
tor known limn tbe Italian composer.
His melodics bave for a quarter of a cen?
tury been whistled in our streets arid
sung in onr parlors. Tho man who
wrote three such popular and charming
melodies as "I dreamt that I dwelt in
mnrblo bolls," "The heart bowed down,"
and "Then you'll remember mo," has
added largely to tho sum of harmless
pleasure. It is by his "Bobemain Girl"
that Balfe is best known to the world.
This work was produced in 1829 at Drury
Laue Theatre. Balfe was a native of
Dubliu, though he is generally called an
English composer. He enrly exhibited
a musical precocity, and in bis eighth
year appeared in a concertas a violin
player. When only nine years old he
wrote a ballad for Madame Vcstr?B. H?
was sixty years old at the time pf his ?
death.
