We frequently see in the Northern papers the most glowing accounts of the success of the experiments in freed labor among the plantations along the coast-of South Carolina especially. Such- wondrous results in Sea Island cotton, such beautiful prospects in rice, potatoes, and, indeed, every pro? duct hitherto produced .so successfully in this region, arc thus reported, that it should not be wondered at if tho Northern AboUtionisls practice all sorts of uncouth antics in the sudden glory of stich surprising results. Our own account??-nearer home, and from eyes which see for themselves and not through a glass darkly-are of en? tirely different complexion; and we only wonder that these reports are so un frequently . allowed to appear in print. Wo aro reminded, while wo write, of an elaborate report on this subject, made by Mr. Joseph Daniel Pope, who, under tho auspices of General Gillmore, made a tour through certain of these favored parishes, in? cluding some of the islands, which we should very much like to see spread fairly before our own and the Northern public. Mr. Pope's report is moderate in tone, entirely free from prejudice, circumspect, considerate and unique in its consideration of the simple topics embraced i:. the subject. Mr. Pope is particularly qualified for making such a survey of the planta? tions, and for reporting upon them. Himself a native and planter of the region in question, famfliar wjth all the estates; with every peculiarity in their culture; knowing well the sus? ceptibilities of the lands, and per? fectly acquainted with their capacity for production, by a full knowledge of what, under the former cultivation, they were wont to produce ; no person could be found better fitted for such an examination of their present con? dition, as will enable friend and foe equally to decide upon the results and value of the experiment. He has imule a. report, and one singularly fair and indulgent towards the negro. His manner is eminently judicial, and we do not hesitate to assert the con? viction that his details of facts cannot be gainsaid. His* evidence will be held conclusive by all who know his ability, his familiarity with the local statistics, his freedofh from all rash expression, and his superiority to all vulgar prejudice. We trust that his report will be given to the public, es? pecially of the North, with the hopi that it will tend somewhat to spibclm I that exulting spirit which finds it; I facts in its fancy, and fortifies its phi "losophy wholly by the assertion of i prophetical faculty, which equalh pspts reason to the blush, and the law.' of God at defiance. War Mortality. We are enabled, through the kind ness of Mr. John B. Miot, to afford ti the friends and relatives of the Soutl Carolinians who perished at Poin Lookout, Maryland, a record of ni the*easnalties among the sons of ou State occurring at that place of im prisonment. We make no comments Tlie record is a long and melanchol; one. It will l>e a satisfaction to th relatives of the deceased to know tha their kinsmen died in the service o the State, in what they deemed th . paths of duty. The State, when thi is possible, should remember, an make due record of, their pubUc sei vices.

CAL SEMINARY.-We are glad to* learn that this institution will be opened for students of Theology, pn the first of November next. It was located at Greenville, S. C., sowie years before the war, and had reached a prosperous state when forced to suspend on ac? count of the conscription. It will bo opened with its former corps of in? structors, all present. We learn that information has already been received of some students who will attend. m _ A NEGRO "3>>WN WITH NEGRO OFFICERS.-Mitchellville, it must be remembered, is the negro village on Hilton Head Island, regularly organ ized with negro officers, and enjoying its Councilmen and Supervisor, whom their constituents -insist" on styling Aldermen and Mayor. The "alder? men" settle disputes concerning claims for personal property. Before one of them hame a disconsolate ne? gress. Her hen had been stolen, and Gawky Sam was the boy who did it. The .hoy was summoned, the evidence heard, the case clearly made out, and two dollars fine imposed. But here stepped in another Alderman, who added another dollar to the fine. Be- ! fore the money was paid, still another managed to get the case before him, and imposed a fine of five dollars. By this time the Supervisor ("Mayor") heard the story, and sunv moning all the parties, inquired: ! "Uncle Ben, why did you fine de boy two dollars?" "Weil, sah, de ease was ciar; de hen was a mi ty fine, fat un, and I reckon she-worf about a dollar. Den, sir, nobody oughtub be lowed to steal for less dan a dollah no how. #So I made him pay de wuf of do hen to de owner, and a dollah for stealin' be? side." "Well, 'Cl'erklis, (Anglico Uncle Hercules,) why did von make de fine tree dollah?" "Well, de hen war wuf a dollah easy. De*n de boy ought to pay a dol? lah for stealin* anydow. But den, sah, dut hen war a layin' eggs, and if dat Gawky Sam hadn't done stole her, do eggs she'd a laid 'ud a been wuf 'tleast 'nuther dollah by dis time!" Ludicrous as was the solemnity of these proceedings, they were, never? theless, of value, as showing inherent ideas of justice. [Cor. Cincinnati Gazette. ASSYRIAN INSCRIPTIONS.-Hie deci? pherment of Assyrian cuneiform writ? ings has for years past been a pursuit of intense interest on the part of the learned. As an instance of the accu? racy of decipherment, the following may be mentioned: Copies of the great cylinder inscription of Tiglath P?eser L extending to nearly 1,000 Unes of cuneiform writing, were sub? mitted to four Assyrian scholars-to Sir Henry Rawlinson, in London; to Dr. Hincks, in Leland; to M. Oppert, in Paris; and to Mr. Fox Talbot, of Lacock Ablfry ; and they were invited \o send independent translations under seal, on a certain day, to be examined \*y a committee composed of tho first scholars in England,.name? ly, Dean Milman, Mr. Grote, the his? torian. Professor Wilson, Dr. Cureton and Sir Gardner Wilkinson. The translations were thus sent in to the committee, and' on being compared were found to coincide, not, indeed, word by word, but in all essentials of distribution of subject, reading of names and general signification, tho verdict recorded by the committee, being decisive as to the competency of the gentlemen engaged to read and translate the language.-Sir H. Raw? linson in (he Building Nows. FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.-Opposite me, in the ball-room to-night, sits* a stout woman, in a wide-striped silk dress.

THE CONVENTION.-As the proceedings of the Convention may be expected to be of absorbing interest to all persons in tho State, and as the Phftnix wiU make daily reports of its progress and the results from it, besides publishing in full Cue new Con? stitution thc moment it shall be ratified, it will be well that persons desiring to sub? scribe should do so in due season. In the present scarcity and cost of printing paper, publishers cannot venture to print upon a mero speculative or possible domand.

P4BIS, August!.-A few ?lays since;, a very interesting discovery was made in the Place du Carousel A wing of the old Palace of the Louvre has I lately been torn down for the pnrpctao . of rebuilding it in harmony^ with tho j newer parts of the palace. In making excavations for tho new foundations, : a number of moulds* for pottery and ! an ancient furnace were laid bare by ] the workmen. The superintendent sent at once for the architect, who, in his turn, addressed himself ti? a dis? tinguished savant. M. Bertz, for in? formation with regard to this treasxire trove. M. Bertz has devoted many years to the study of archaeological re? mains of Paris, and recognized in the furnace and earthenware fragments the work of the celebrated Bernard do Palissy, to whom the revival of tho enameling-} of pottery in France is due. It appears, in 1500, that Cathe? rine de Medicis employed Palissy to ornament a grotto in the garden of tho Tuilleries with the most grotesque specimens of his art that he could produce, a description of which is preserved in the imperial library. Among the figures was a sea monster, composed entirely of shells and ma? rine plants. The mould of this has been found almost entire, and corres? ponding in all particulars with tho description in the contract written by order of the Queen. The walls of th?) furnace are immensely thick. Tho grotto itself is still supposed to exist in the Tuilleries garden, and permis? sion to search fer it has been asked. Bernard de Palissy reduced himself to extreme poverty in his enthusiastic search after the lost process of ena? meling. A picture at Sevves Teprc sents him cutting Iiis furniture to pieces to make fire-wood for his pre? cious pots and dishes. He is called Palissy, the potter; but was, -in fact, a man of great learning, having de? livered lectures, in Paris, on tho monuments of antiquity-"on earth, stones and metals"-*-at the age o seventy-five years. Although em ployed by Catherine de Medicis, h was a Protestant, and was at last ir {)risoned in the Bastile, (1589,) wher ie died in his ninetieth year. A mom j ment was erected to him a few mont" i ago in his native town of Agenois. ! dealer in old furniture (marchand < j bric-a-brac) has just had the luck_ j find in an old cabinet of Louis. ! time, seven letters written by Cardin j Richelieu, ten of which ara addressee* I to the celebrated courtesan, Mario 1 D?lorme. These letters were hidde away in a secret drawer of the cab net, and were only discovered by ace dent; they will bring a great pnce, their authenticity is unimpeachable.
