-In LiTorpool cotton closed lower and irreg

-The "National Capital" Executive Commit?
tee have determined to call a National Conven
iion.-to- ho field in St. Dom's oh the 20th of Oc?
tober. .
V-Tbe Indian mail steamship Camalie was
wrecked1 a short timo ago Sn the upper part of
thc Bed Sea. Her passengers and crew wero
saved, but the cargo, which waa very valuable,
Fa 3 entirely lost. Another account states that
a number O?" Uvesi were lost.
. - The St&tiat?cai Congress at Hague, Hol?
laed, ie engaged in discussing the question of
tho reduction of standing annies. Mr. Bug?
gies, of New York, made a speech, giving aa an
illustration of the expediency of the measure,
the safety with which the United States gov
a^jnmeot dispersed its large armies after the
^v^PlSa^rtfc^^t'Trth.
-The uncertainty as to Dr. Livingstone re?
vives in England the project of an expedition
which shall traverse the length and breadth or
Africa. Captain Borton is ready to leave his
corasnaate at Damascus for such a parp?se,
and il ui suggested that from about sixty to
one hundred men, partly seasoned Europeans
and partly Orientals ( Sikhs, for example,)
armed to tbe teeth with weapons of precision,
would be found capable of the enterprise.
-The attention of medical authorities bas
been calied to a new method ol potting babies
to bed which is said to have como inte nse
in France, and to bis singularly healthy. The
. advice consists in stripping the child of cloth?
ing, and imbedding it, except the head, in a
.oradle fat] of bran, precisely as fruit and fragile
articles are sometimes packed for transporta?
tion. Tbe advantage of the method is said to
? -consist in its remarkable cleanliness, and the
pleasant and equable temperature in which tbe
.infant's body is kept, from its inability to kick
the clothes off. The Pall Mall Gazette thinks
that thew privileges of comfort ought not to
be restricted to children, and suggests that
sojourners at the seaside may some day escape
?be terror of doubtful beds by taking their
ot bran among their luggage.
-The fall trade opens bravely. The New
Tori merchante say that the South is again
their best customer, bot that a very diff?rent j
line of goods is purchased than before the war.
.ina/ totally ignored the costly and flashy styles
. wh'ob characterised their, bi lbs previous to tne
war. Again, in regard to tilling the soil,
wonderful revolution bas token place in the
Southern States.. The Southern planter now |
buys only the moat,improved agricultural ?Di?
plomen ts, and tho crops of the South are raised
upon the same scientifTo principles as those of
the North and West, By this means tbe cost
-ot productions have been lessened and tbe pro?
fit* or the planters i sot eased. The Southern
_ purchases last season, which were largely for
-cash, undoubtedly saved the New York mer?
chants from a trust disastrous season. Their
parchases thus far this fall have been the chiet
cause of tho present activity in trade.
-A tetter from the Qreenbrier (Ta.) White
Sulphur Springs eaya : "The season has been
* great success. More than Ave thousand vis?
itors have been roistered here, and the pro?
prietors have ppr -ably made 1100,000. Socially
it bas been extremely pleasant, and tho placa
has now acquired a national reputation which
must make it papular with visitors from all
sections. The miBriraonial market, however,
has been doll, for though the offerings were
large, the. boyera have been few, and have
operated with great caution. A large lot of
unimproved and unprovided widows and widow?
ers early dragged fte market, and this depres?
sion continued until these actors of Vanity
Eair vanished to other scenes. Bo serions was
this sftgnatior> that an expert duenna informs
me oonfldeotislly that only one se??os engage?
ment (in which a Goodwin, of Georgia, won ;
belie of Baltimore) has resulted from this very
active campaign. Th ink of it, picture it, das- j
sotaba-men wno have been following (without
engaging)'berr?ese? of fabled wealth, and for j
a whole sommer treading on trails whose wear?
ers represented millions. It was well, perhaps,
for your correspondent that his wife and five
followed and overlooked bim at this point"
? ? Somo French soldiers were lately taken
prisoners by the Can abs, and one of them was
killed' and eaten. * His comrades desoribe tho
pjrooess. The Caoaks first decapitate their
wictim, a matter of uo small difficulty, consid?
ering the bluntness of their hatchets. Ten to
fifteen blows are necessary. The body is then
bang ap to. a tree by tbe feet, and the blood al?
lowed to roo oat for an boor. Meanwhile a
hole ?yard and a half deep and a yard wide is
dug in the ?round. The hole is filled with
stones, and then ia the midst of them a great
fire ie lib, When the wood is burnt down a
little and glows with beat, it is covered over
with more stones. The man is then cleaned
?out and divided into pieces about -a foot long,
the hands, and fee1: being thrown away as
worthless. The pieces of the man are plaoed
-on the leaves of a tarare rose tree peculiar to
IIT tropica. " Tbe meat ia surrounded with
ooeoaruts, bananas, and some other plants
noted for their delicate flavor. The whole is
then tied together firmly, the Ure is removed
from the pit, the meat is placed io among the
hot stones, and thoa, carefully covered, is left
to cook for an hoar. Women do not partake
of this warriors' feist. Men alono are permit?
ted to enjoy so great an honor and so rare a
delicacy.
-The Coban attack on Loa Tona3 is de?
scribed in Havana correspondence, rho at?
tacking party had bat two cannon, while the
Spaniards had six, all ia em bras ares, and this
advaatago is artillery - told very favorably in
the fight on the side of the garrison. For | <
more than six boar? the insurge a bs pressed
tbe Spaniards, bot to no avail. They were
unable to carry the fortifications. Major Bo
niohe bad the town hali and several other ban?
dings fired to prevent the insurgents occupy?
ing them, and so find shelter near tte Spanish j '
breastworks. The fire rapidly spread, to other.
parts of the tows, and altogether one hand
and twenty hone os were barned. Ill encx
in the attack apon the fortifications, and
fiery element, induced the Coban forces to
tire from LDS Tanas, and retreat several m
southward. This was done in perfect ord
they carrying with them the twenty or m
Spaniards they captured at the beginnini
the fight, all their wounded, and forty ta
lies o? Los Tunas, that preferred going v
them to remaining with the Spaniards. Th
last admit they captured only three insurgei
all wounded. The Spanish losses in kil
wounded and missing will approximate
hundred and fitly. The losses of the ins
geats are estimated at five hundred men.

CHARLESTON.
"-p-- >
MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 30, 1869.
The South Carolin* University,
Th? trastees of this institution, at th
meeting on Friday last, filled three prol
serial chairs, rendered- vacant by the rei
nation of Professors John LeConte, Jos?
LeConte, and Edward P. Alexander. In
places of these gentlemen were elected ]
Albert GaUatin Mackey to the chair of na
ral and m^hanical philosophy, Dr. Jose
Jones to the chair of cnemistry, phar ma
&o , and Mr. T. E. Hart to the chair
mathematics.
The predioessor of h University, I
old South Carolina Colley., for sixty yei
enjoyed an enviable reputa!ion for its hi
standard of character and scholars!
among American institutions of learnii
Thousands of graduates have gone foi
through the length and breadth of the ot
tinent filling positions of honor and tra
with'' satisfaction to themselves and i
community, and reflecting credit to th
much revered Alma Mater. The truste
pf the college were always from among I
first men of the State, the Governi
Judges, Chancellors and others elected
the position by the Legislature. The int?
esta of the institution were in good kee
ing, and the oollege, in consequence, e
joyed the. oonfidenoe and the affection
the entire State.
~ In those ancient days, when a new pt
lessor was to be ohosen, regard' was hi
first, to the scholarship of the applioax
next, to his ability to teach; thirdly, to 1
character, private and public; and lastly,
his acceptability-the fourth being in fa
embraoed under the third postulate. Tl
office of a professor of the college was co
sidered so important, and the influen
upon the young men of the State for got
or for evil so great, that the curators, fee
ing all the responsibilities of their delioa
trust, exercised the u most caution and dil
[genoe in their choies. A mistake in th
particular, it was fell, would be fatal.
Maia nous avon? xhang? tout etta. We lil
im different times First, under the admit
istration of Governors Perry and Orr,
very good oollege was ohanged into a ver
poor university. Next, under the fie
order of,things- the Republican State Ac
ministration-all the old trastees wei
I turned out of offioe, and their places fille
by a few Radioals and negroes high i
being qualified to legislate nf on its, organ
zation and conduct. Soon after this deph
rabie change of regime, Professor Baske
resigned, and not long since C. D. Melter
Esq., was elected in his stead to the profet
sorship of law, a selection certainly t
which uo one conld take exoeptionajBtill
theoharaoter of the trastees was knowr
and their future policy unknown and die
trusted. Our people had no oonfidenoe i:
'the institution, and either sent their son
to other colleges in the State, or to inst itu
lions of learning in Georgia, Virginia, am
other States. The number of students ii
Colombia was but small, and bids fair t
beoome still smaller this winter.
We oannot help having? Radical Gover
nor and a Radical Mayor,' a black Legisla
ture, tad a colored Secretary of State; i
superannuated ignoramus for a Judge, anc
a codifier of laws who is innooent of Black
stone. These and many more afflciioni
have been heaped upon us, and for th?
time being we are powerless to aver!
them. Heavy and unjust taxes are assessed
and levied, and the revenues of the State
are squandered for the benefit of hungry
and unprincipled adventurers who, like
the caterpillars, devour the hard earnings
of the honest toil of others All this, we
say, WO nave td endure, at least for a sea?
son; but as yet no one can oompel ns io send
our sons tobe taught mann era by Bozemon,
or morals by Booti..
There are, it ls true, a few good men
still left at the University, and we are sorry
for it; for we are loth to say anything that
might wonnd their feelings. But with Dr.
Mackey in the chair of mechamos, and the
Hanorable Christopher Columbus Bowen, it
may'be, next year, delivering a oourse of
lectures on Mo.al Philosophy and 8aored
Literature, we do not think it probable that
the University will enjoy much of the con?
fidence of the whits people of South Car?
olina.
Br. Mackey may be very competent to
teach mechanics, though we have never
<>eard him mentioned as a disciple of Archi
nvedes, Newton or PasoaL He certainly
eo?jB no reputation as a man of science.
Who discovered his capacity? Was it
Scott, br Moses, or Bozemon? But even if
he had the requisite scholarship, he certain?
ly does not enjoy the confidence of tho peo?
ple-we mean of the people who !>ave sons
to send to college. And what will be
thought of trustees by whose management
the oollege must, beyond the possibility of
doubt, be rained ? We speak without any
personal hostility to Dr Mackey, and sim?
ply out of regard for the public weal.
Dr. Joseph Jones, who has jost been
eleoted to the chair of chemistry, bas for
rears been ?3 >nneoted with the Medioal Col?
leges of Savannah and Augusta. During
the war he had a special commission from
.he Confederate Surgeon General to con
inue investigations, ia whioh he had been
?ngaged previously, on the origin and char
toter of malarial and typhoid fevers. The i
result of his labor?is contained ia a vo?am
nous report. He has also written on te ta?
ms and gangren?. Ia the course of hie in
vestigations on the latter, he visited the
prison at Andersonville, where he revelled
in the great abundance of his favorite mate?
rial.
Dr. Mackey's biography need not be
given here, as our readers are tolerably
familiar with the faota of his life. Of Pro?
fessor Hart we hope to be able to say more
anon.
A few words in closing on Professor
Alexander, who is about to leave the State.
Edward P. Alexander was born in Washing?
ton, Qa., in 1835, and graduated at Weat
Point in 1857. He was promoted second
lieutenant of the United States Engineer
Gorps, and served as assistant instructor in
engineering at Weat Point; then as lieuten?
ant of a company of sappers in the Utah ex?
pedition of General A. 8. Johnston, and in
Oregon and Washington Territories. He
next was on detail, engaged in perfecting
and experimenting with a system pf army
signals until May, 1861, when he resigned
in San Francisco, and returned to the
South.
He waa commissioned captain of engi?
neers in the Confederate army, where he in?
troduced the system of signals, and served
aa signal officer of the Army of the Poto?
mac, and afterwards as chief of ordnance
ef the Army of Northern Virginia. He wa8
then promoted to the rank of oolonel of
artillery, and commanded all the artillery
of Longstreet's corps at Gettysburg, and in
Georgia, and in the Tennessee campaign.
" He was promoted brigadier general of
artillery and chief of the artillery of Long?
street's corpa in February, 1864, holding
that command to the close of the war.
He was eleoted profeaBor of mathematica
and civil and military engineering and con
atruction in the University of South Caro?
lina in December, 1865, whioh position he
has filled with distinguished ability, giving
general satisfaction. He was muoh liked in
the army by his superiors, by his peers, and
by his subordinates, and the many respon?
sible posts ho oooupied, and bia rapid pro?
motion, tell how his services were valued.
South Carolina loses a valuable man by
the resignation of Professor Alexander.
He has earned her esteem, and carries with
him her best wishes for his welfare and
success.
Tnt State Debt.
The Unionville resolutions looking to a
popular movement to repudiate the debt
which the Radical government at Columbia
is so rapidly and recklessly piling up, are not
relished by^many of the State papers. The
Anderson Intelligencer thinks it advisable
o seek to gain control of the State govern?
ment by other means; the Yorkville En?
quirer dissents from the scheme as imprac?
ticable and ruinous; and the Abbeville
Press bluntly argues'(hat our negro Legis?
lature ia bound to have- money, and that if
if it cannot borrow it will rob; or, in other
wordB, if it cannot negotiate its bonds, it.,
will tax ! tax ! tax ! The Press, there?
fore, concludes that the movement is
unwise, and adds:
"Let us strike at the root-reform the gov?
ernment-and we relieve ourselves of oo% op?
pressors, and restore again the era of easy im?
posts &nd economical expenditure, honesty in
. n-"* qaniantmanl "'"i .?"??
where."
Thus opposed by three of the most ?u?u
ential presses in tbe up-oountry, the move?
ment which our friends in Unionville
sought to inaugurate must lack that unan?
imity of support, without whioh it falls to
the ground; and the people of the State
must make up their minda te rely for the
protection of their own pockets and the
publio coffers upon the success of their ef?
forts to effect the speedy overthrow of Rad?
icalism at the polls.
* ? 11 ^av T f ?
Plucking tuc South-Tne Cotton Tax.
While the Northern cities are in high
glee over the rich and enormous trade
whioh they expeot to be the result of thc
reviving prosperity of the South, the Radi?
cal officials of the government see, in the
success of our agriculture, but another op?
portunity for legislative injustice and op?
pression. Not content with the certain
prospect that the internal revenue from the
Southern States for the present fiaoal year
will be about fifty per oent. greater than
that of last year, they are already hatch i n g
schemes to shift the whole burden of taxa?
tion from the baokg of the "loyal" manu?
facturers to those of the "rebel" produoers.
Among the modifications of the revenue
law we are assured will undoubtedly be re?
commended to the next Congress a tax
of one cent per pound on cotton. This, it
is calculated, can be made to yield an annual
income of fifteen millions of dollars-a
prise, the tempting character of whioh to
Yaakee Congressmen may be inferred from
the fact that it will enable them to gratify
their constituents by an immediate repeal
of those universally unpopular sections of
the revenue law whioh impose speoial taxes.
An Old Friend with a New Face.
The old National Intelligencer, the de?
mise of which a few months ago caused
some sensation in the newspaper world, ia
to be revived in a new form. The proprie
tora of tho Washington Evening Express
announoe that that paper will bc merged
with the Intelligencer under the name of the'
Daily Intelligencer and Exprese, and pub?
lished as a Democratic morning journal.
The first, issue ia to make ita appearance :
to-day. The combination will enjoy many !
elements of strength, and it is to be hoped 1
that the result will be a paper every way a
worthy representative of Democratic inter- '
esta at tbe national capital.
THE New York Herald reviveB the rumor
of a sort of tripartite treaty on the part of '
England, France and Austria to protect <
Spain against the United States. The re?
port is said to have caused quite a flutter
among the knowing ones at Washington:
but the 8tate Department officials are mum "
on the subject.
JUDOS THOMAS, at Chester last week,
tried a case involving the validity of negro -
bonds, and charged the jury BO explicitly {
against the bonds that they brought in a
verdiot wholly ignoring that portion of the *
plaintiff's claim, whioh was a debt incurred j fi
for the purchase of negroes.
