The Condition and Needs of the South. Mr. Edward Kingof New York, in a letter to tlie Tribune, insists upon a neir'infueioH of labor and capital into the South as necessary to rescue it from a serious paralysis of production. Emancipation has /lianromnized labor and denrived us of capital, and ever since the war the Southern farmer has been working under conditions which have proved vefy great obstacles to all progress. The lack of ready money has led to the introduction of "the share system," which can continue only so long as the farmer is unable to improve his farm: and diversify his crops. With the means of directing and controlling labor, the work of substantial im provemerrt vvi-ll begin. This iticrcase of the circulating medium, will naturally be brought about, by the establishment of manufactures, and increased diversity in our industrial pursuits. The facilities for the establishment of .manufactures at the South are .especially great, and the dividends declared by,thc factories in operation, are very encouraging Cotton manufactures can only be carried ou to its utmost capacity ou the ground where the raw material is produced, aud manufactories established at' the &>uth would defy competition frorp the North. The time has arrived for the mills to go to the cotton, and fol* Xortheru capital and anapmr tn aaaifit in ttiA davAlnno. VV MWW1WI' %MV N4V.V*VJ'V ment of Southern production. We need capital and we need labor,! and we especially invite those migrants to our homes who can add something to both. The writer says.* "The Southern people are not able, under existing political and social conditions, to effect themselves all the desired changes. They must, unaided, go on very much as they have heretofore since the war, crushed to inactivity by every contraction consequent on a financial crisis, in daily need of a capital which 'has been utterly destaoyed, u.,4. r u:?u ?..u UUC lUl WLUCU UOO UCCI1 BUU* stituted. They have done what they could in establishing as many manufactures as their limited means would allow, and in doubling the cotton crop as fast as possible. They seemed determined to follow, as a rule, the excellent example of Alabama, in exempting manufacturers entirely from taxation. The South hns as many advantages as a manufacturer as she has as a producer. The * flourishing cotton factories at Columbus and Augusta, Ga.; at Tallahasse, Alabama ; at Nashville, Tenn., and at Petersburg, Ya., show that dividends beyond those attainable at the North are possible. Gen. Bank? never said a truer word thun when he declared "that the principles aud processes of Lowell will never be fully carried out until our raw material is manufactured on the ground where it is produced and that those principles enunciated by so able a mind as Lowell's, compose the only solid basis on which industrial edifices can permanently stand." If the South should ever get a fair start in manufacturing cotton?say on tbe strength of capital sent over irom England?the Nort^ could not certainly compete with her.-' It is about time, as; the Southern Jpapers sometimes 'say, that New England should go South, that the mills sho'ul;d go to the cotton that the talciit '-of the North should sec wh&t it can do toward helping to reorganize labor and increase the volume of production in the South, insuring general prosperity., tliere, and'securing itself against * & ' ^possibility of a future dangerous competition, at the same time that it pockets a handsome profit for its enterprise." j The Expenses of our Court ?

The general impression is that the session will not extend beyond two or three weeks. Among other business of the session, there is to be an election for Chief Justice, the re-arrangement of the Congressional Districts, and adjust mcut of the Blue Ridge Railroad debt. In the House a resolution was introduced by Ellison to extend the time for the payment of taxe? to the 1st March. The-special committee on th? public printing . recommended tbat the printing bo let out to the lowest biddor, on condition that the aggregato cost does not exceed 85O.00.0 .. A concurrent resolution of the flouse to go into an election for Chief Justice on the 27th was postponed in the Senate. The Governor sent to both Houses a copy of a letter from Morton, Bliss<fe Co., proponrng to take certificates of indebtedness, receivable for taxes next 3rear, in lieu of the claim they hold against the State of over one hundred thousand dollars in money, but no action -was taken upon it. The bill to provide for the payment of certain claims passed and was ordered to be enrolled. The bill to provide for the better kcepingin impair of the public roads aod bridges excited a long and warm dobate, but the enacting clause was finally stricken out. In the Senate the bill to amend the act to regulate the pay of the members of the General Assembly was passed. It provides that me tubers shall receive, for both th3, regular and extra kc6t>ions, such per diem compensation aaiwill amount to, and not exceed six hundred dollars. This will give the tnembferfc twelve ; hundred dollars each for services render' 1 ; til ed the State this winter. ' Immigration.?-A correspondent of the Phctnix, for the encouragement of immigration, urges the establishment of a central financial institution, with delegates from each County of tho State to compose the board of dfflcors and directors. He says: "For this purpose 1 beg to inform your readers and tho pcoplo of South Carolina at large, thAt a bill will soon Kn infrnriitr*f?H in fh? Ti<?trin|atUrC of South Carolina, for charter of the Co-operative Colonization Bank of South Carolina, with a capital of $&,000,000, to bo pubseribed in lands, mines, factories and ca??h, (no gifts or donations received,) with headquarters at Columbia. As soon as the charter is obtained, the by-laws and general instructions of the institution | will be published in the papers of leach County in the State, and corres pondcnce opened with any society willing to co.operalc with the gone!* al colonization financial institution in I Columbia. I Death of tiix Siamese Twins. ? A dispatch from Greensboro, N. C., gires the annonpeement ofthe sadden death of the Siamese $wins on Saturday morning last, at their residenof, Mount Airy, Surrey, County, N. C. There arc no details farther than tho fact that Chang wa* paralyzed last Fall, "since which 'time ho has been fretful, . very much debilitated and strongly addicted to drinking liqnors as a means of alloviating his sufferings. Ho had been qnite feeble for several days, indeed so much as to confine both brothers tp bed, but his illness was not ho great at) to CAuse any anticipation of the catastrophe that wa6 ,to follow. On Friday night they retired to bed as usual, but during the night Chang grew worse and expired suddenly about four o'clock Saturday morning. As soon as it was discovered that ho was dead Eng be came so terribly shocked that bo raved wildly for a while, at times exhibiting signs of great mental aberration. This attack was followod by what seemed to be a deadly stupor. In two hours, it is supposed, from Jhe dca'.h of Chang, Eng breathed his last. There hits been an eager desire on the part of the medical profession to make a (<i;BHectiou of the dead bodies, in the interests of sciencc. So far the family have relnsed thoir consent. Opinions differ among surgeons as to whether the death of one necessarily caused that of the other. Parker &Peiuu,v are now moving into Iheir new Drug Store, at the corner <?f Cotbran <fc Wilson's Block on the Public Square. The store ia large, commodious, and well-lighted, and the location is one of the best in town. We prophesy for Messrs. Farker & Pernn a still flurtlter extension of their large and successful business in their new quarter*. In ? few days they will bo fully established and will bo pLased to welcome their friends. They are now making some choice additions to their slock, BGT A new plank aide walk to tjae Depot has just been constructed on Washington street, and will conduce very much to the comfort &n<2 convenience of our citizens.

R Miles, Rector of Trinity Church, gave an interesting account on Sunday last of the meeting of the Convocation in Columbia during the past week. Excellent eesaye were read at the meeting by the Rev. Ellison Capers on "Private Prayer," by Rev. Robert Johnson on "Family "Worship," and by the Rev. J. D. McCullough on "Public "Worship," and by Robt. Sttiart, Esq., on "Lay Co-operation," which called forth interesting discussions. .An elaborate and beautiful essay upon the "Liturgies of the Chtfrch" was also read r i i ! t 1 by me ltev. Mr. Miies, which whb repeated to this congregation in the i afternoon. The practice of the early Chnrch, going bafck even to Apostolic days, was cited in behalf of set prayers and prescribed forms of worship?a practice which was sanctioned by Calviu and other reformers, and has only been distimlpil at tlifi instance of modern innovators. The essay closed with a deserved tribute to the beauty and impressiveuess of the prayers and praises which make np the present Episcopal Church service. Increase of Crime.?The records of the late Term ot our Court show an alarming increase of crime in our County since the October Term. Then the juries, grand and petit, were discharged after two days' service, whilst at the late Term the graud jury were engaged nearly one week ana tne petn juries nearly two weeks in discharging their duties. Four murder cases, and grand and petit larcenies, and assaults and batteries, formed the catalogue of crime, and swelled the expenses of our County beyond all proper limit*. StroDg drink has been the prolific source of many of these crimes, and a disorganized labor system of the rest. The Conrt and iurv have done firood eer ~ *7-* ? " i vice at the lslte Term in bringing offenders to punishment, and deserve the thanks of#our County for their efforts to repress crime. - \ Royal Nuptials?The marriage of Alfred, Duko of Edinburg, son of Queen Victoria, of England, to Marie Alexandruvna, daughter of the Emperor of Prussia, came off at St. Petersburg, with imposing ceremonies, on Friday, the 23d. What would the ladies of our town say to a marriage on Friday??the unlucky day. There wns a doablo cercmony?the marriage ! being performed according to the rites of the Greece and English Churches. The bride and heratteudaots glittered in jewels and crimson velvet. Removal.?Wo regret todcgsmtliat our townsman, Mr J. W. Fowler and lady, will leave jjere on nejt Wednesday for St. Joseph, Missouri, whero he will enter into business. They will be missed in Abbeville. Mr. Fowler is one of our most active, energetic and enterprising merchants, and with hi* business capacity and experience, will soon rise superior to his lute, reverses, and achieve for himself, we trust, wealth and reputation. Our best wishes go with them. |". Messrs. DuPrc&Co. majT now be found at Sassard & Co.'* late stand, in Cothran & ^Filson's Rango.
