The native who picked it up sold it for five bundled sheep, ten oxen and a horse. -Efforts are making in Eagland to amalga? mate the two branches of the legal profession, by abolishing tho distinction between attorneys and barristers. -Cantain R. H. Fletcher, a prominent eili? gen, ol Dawson, Georgia, and universally es? te.vas Rhot and instantly killed a few tiny? since, .!? . i Lea has confessed the deed, iiu? jg a? w in jail to roBwer. Those Englishmen who oppose tho propo? sition to legalLsJ ni vrriage with a deceased wife's sister, urge that such a lioense would result in most horrible jealousy, and that wives would never allow their sisters to visit them when their husbands were at home. -The government printing office is about to throw upon on afflicted country two hundred and fifty thousand new volumes, of which nearly one-half are Congressional Globes. It . is a desperate attempt to give immortality to speeches which were never made, and, alas 1 even with this temptation, will never be read. -The King of Prussia aims to sustain the parental relation toward his army. Becently at an early review ou the banks ol the Rhino he saluted each pasaing regiment with a loud "Good morning, my children." The soldiers replied with equal heartiness, "Good morning, father," whioh soemed to please the old mon? arch greatly. -The Macon Telegraph, of the 22 J instant, saye: "A distinct hut short and sudden shook of an-earthquake was felt in this city last eve? ning, about half-post seven o'clock. The wri? ter felt it whilst at the supper table, and thought it was the jar of a cannon that had been fired; but, on inquiry, was informed that it was the shock of an earthquake, and that it had been felt in al) portion) of the city." -The Chinese havo contracted the habit of covering "their umbrellas, rooms and houses, everything in short, with old European stamps, which they buy by thousands and millions. The .Rhenish Mission, which bas a station in China, collecta these stamps and sells them at three shillings the thousand. From the money so acquired the mission educates such chil? dren as have been either exposed or sold as slaves by their unnatural Chinese parents. ., -It is stated that tho cauterization by hot tallow is an immediato euro for ingrowing nails.

At certain points on the h ne, an officer of the road passes through tho cars and takes the number of those who desire ct inners. This is telegraphed to a station where tho meal is to bo cooked. On arriving at that station a box is placed in the hands of the diner, a moderate price is paid, and the dinner is eaten while the ear is iu motion, after which the box is returned. The dinner consists of four courses, including soup, and is bot and excellent, a small bottle of wine accompanying it. This plan is simple and worthy of being tried in this country, where the lines are longer, and the number of din? ners muoh larger in proportion to the whole number of travellers. It would be a great im? provement on the present system of stopping trains "five minutes for refreshment," consist? ing of a pipinor hot oup of poor coffee, and a quarter of heavy, indigestible pie, or a decep? tively huge square of sponge cake. -On Friday lust an engine cf the Camden and Burlington County (New Jersey) Railroad exploded its boiler while passing near Mount Holly. The engine was raised from the track and thrown violently into the air, and descend? ed upon tho track with tremendous force, breaking ties, bending rails, and scattering pieces of machinery in every direction. Again .springing into (ho air, it made several revolu? tions, and finally lodged in tho Banqueas Creek, a distance of one hundred feet from where the explosion occurred. The cars were thrown together in one contused mass. The engineer, Job Goekil, and ihe fireman, Charles L. Platt, ?wet*? fatally injured/and have since died. ; The condudior, John Say 1er, is very seriously hurt? bnt hopes are entertained of his recove? ry. Hr. Sayle* was thrown under some cars ?nd rubbish, and was only extricated with great difficulty; be waa seriously scalded, and JU? lao* and head were out severely. The gig. lop brakeman, Edward Joyce, was blown with the gig into an adjoining field, but escaped with a broken arno. There were five others on different part? of the train, who escaped with slight bruises. The explosion was caused by too great a pressure of steam, it being neces? sary for heavy trams to put on a foll head in consequence of the steep grade at this p'aee. -The latest attempt of a convict to escape from prison occured ak tho Jollet penitentiary lost Tuesday morning. On the evening previous a, colored convict had died, and bis body was . aced in a rough coffin for burial. On Tuesday morning, when the remains WOT? &boK j to be conveyed to the burying ground, which is a short distanoo from tho premise's, ono oi tho oflioere perceived a slight movemont of tho coffin lid, which had not yet been Bcrcwed down. Tho lid hoing raised, Io and bel oki, inBtoad of a dead black mun, a live v-hico convict was found lying in tho como. Ito wan hustled out summarily and required to givo an explanation. It appears that early in tho uiorniug, while the other convicts were at breakfast, he smuggled himself into the room whore tho collin was, removed the corpse of the colored man, deposited it in au empty barrol, and got into the coffin himself, expect? ing that be would be carried outside the walls, and before reaching the burying-ground jump out and escape. Being almost smothered, he raised the lid slightly to get a breath ot air, and was thus discovered in time to spoil his "little game." It he had remained quiet a minuto or two longer, tho lid would have boen screwed down, and ho would probably have been smothered to death. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 26, 1869. Thc Sont li Carolina Central Railroad. . . _ m It will be seen by the proceedings which we publish this morning, that the corpora? tors of this important oompany have or? ganized-by electing the Hon. E. E. Dickson, of Manning, chairman; Dr. H. G. Fox, of Oro, Treasurer, and Mr. H. D. Corbett, Secretary. The Executive Committee, con? sisting of Dr. Fox, Mr. E. C. Green, and Mr. J II. Feriter, have appointed commis? sioners to open books in New York and in this Stato, and other arrangements havo been made to give the enterprise a fair and speedy start. We have already urged our business men to take hold of this important railroad, which will pour into the lap of Charleston the large and increasing trade of a section of country which now does its busi? ness with Wilmington and the North. With a road from Sumter to Gourdin's, we must rcooive and handle the whole produoe of Sumter and Clarendon Counties, whose prosperity, also, will be rapidly developed by a oheap railroad communication with a good market and the seaboard. We hope that the oompany will receive substantial help in Charleston. English Pluck. That America oan ?whip creation," has passed into a Yankee axiom; and the belief that John Bull has a wholesome dread of an encounter, under any circumstances, with Brother Jonathan, has taken a singu? larly strong hold on the popular mind at the North. We are glad to see, however, that one leading American journal has had the manliness and good sense to publicly recognize the folly and absurdity of the cry that " England won't fight." The New York Times says : "Nothing oould be a greater mistake than such a sentiment about England. She is, indeed, the great trading nation of the world, and the one that has most to lose by war. She has the caution of an old vete? ran who knows what hard blows mean But pluck is a tradition with every English? man personally, and a national quality. Mueh as Eogland loves money and com? merce and peaoe, she would see every tra? ding paoket burned, her manufactures swept into the sea, and her rich fields made as Georgia was behind Sherman, rather than submit to a national indignity or give up what she considers her just right. There is no doubt of this to any one who knows the English people. "She has the same old fire which has biased out on so many battle-fields, and which burned so reoently in the rems of her offspring-who sacrificed the lives and wealth of a whole generation rather than suffer a wrong to triumph and the nation be overthrown. Not ? ghost of a party would be found on the side of peaoe in Great Britain if the nation onoe believed itself insulted and about to be forced to bear indignity. "The Liberals and peaoe men would then be on the side of war. The .dangerous classes' would vanish, as did our New York rowdies during our struggle; the Fenians would be of no more account than are* our disaffect?d Indians now; debt and expense would be forgotten, and the stored wealth and oapital of centuries would be poured out for the work of destruction. Nor would the old mother land be a contemptible an? tagonist. Thirty millions of oompaot peo? ple burning for war form an enormous power, The British navy is a tremendous implement; and the experiment of landing troops on the coast of Ireland, with a fleet of a thousand hostile vessels watching the ocean, we oan imagine would be somewhat hazardous. Modern warfare is a oontest of purses, and in suoh a struggle the little island would stand equal, at least, with any competitor." Senator Cain and tine Kadfieal Poli? ticians. "Daddy Cain," the colored senator from Charleston, tells the colored people, in the last number of the Missionary Record, that they must change their policy and elect honest men to office. He says : "Colored men must placa their eyes on every office now filled by mea who have leaped into them by the means of fraud and corruption. Remember that none of them have bene fitted your race one sou markee, and yet you have Foisted them into office, andar? now walking about the streets, penniless, homeless, and without a prospect of ever attaining anything. Bach man you have elevated to office receives his thousands of dollars yearly, yet not one loller of that means is placed within your roach. What enterprise have they engaged tn which wUl.give one colored man a dollar? Not one of those men has dons anything with his means to augment the wealth of the stats ar encourage any enterprise which would give employment to a man in this State. Colored men must change their policy and encourage ?nob man in public affairs as will give the State something in return ft? tbs honor conferred opon them. Change your policy, and make boner contingent with the State's prosper! ty. He whom the Stat? honors, should honor the State sad his constituents by a return to her and them of snob measures as will guarantee material prosperity. We would favor sending to th? Lefiiajature honest mechanics and farmers, whose Bunds are not biased by political chicanery ; ht ?ny rate, lo? us have honest men who aro identified with the country's prosperity and bus people's interest.
