THE LATE FOREIGN NEWS. We present the following details of the At lantic's advices, which we extract from our Northern exchanges. [Vienna Letter to Constitutionel, March 3.] THE APPoNTMENTS OF ALEXANDE.-Intelli gence has been forwarded from Berlin that Prince Menschikoff is recalled to St. Petersburg from the command he has held in the Crimea since the commencement of hostilities, and that he will be succeeded in that position by Prince Gortscakoff, who commanded the Russian for- i ces last year in the Principalities. It is also 1 stated that General Rudiger has been summoned from the high position he held in the army in Poland to take the direction of the ministry of war, in place of Prince Dolgorouki; and it is surmised that General Bibikoff, the Home Min. ister of the Empire, will be removed. If this statement be confirmued, we may now very pro bably take leave of Prince Menschikoff, whose name has been and will ever remain so unfor tunately mixed up with these transactions. The'appointment of Count Rudiger to a high er position in the government is creditable to the judgment of the new Emperor. This offi cer was the same who entered into negotiations with Georgey in 1849. to bring to a termination the Hungarian campaign, and who afterwards endeavored to check the reactionary measures taken against the Magyars. He is a man of experience and moderation, whose influence is likely to be decidedly opposed to that of the fanatical Russian party, which has attempted to give to this war the character of a national eru sade. If it be the resolution of the new Em peror to persevere in the negotiations which are about to open at Vienna, and to make the neces sary concessions for the restoration of peace, he will need the authority of wise and firm coun sellors to render that peace acceptable, and even endurable to the Russian nation. TuE POLICY OF THE NEW EMPEROR. On Friday afternoon, a few hours after the death of his father, the Czarowitch proclaimed his assumption of the throne under the name of Alexander 11 Nicolaiewitch, and received the homage of the dignitaries of the realm. The whole garrison was to perform the same cere mony on the 3d. On the 2d, Count Panin, the Minister of Justice, put seals upon the private cabinet of the late Emperor, in the presence of the heir. The Empress, though much affected by the death of her husband, is said to have been better than might have been expected after the shock she had received. No authentic intelligence has yet been receiv ed from St. Petersburg, as to the state of pub. lie feeling. It was rumored on Wednesday that despatches had been received in Paris, which describd the Rutssian capital as in a state of great excitement. The nobles had met secretly with a view of raddressing the Emperor on the suibjiet of armiog the serfs. They proposed pointinmg out to Alexander the ruin which would ..ceompany such at step, and the internal dangers that might follow. It was expected thatt St. Petersburg would be plaiced in a stateof siege.. The war party had already begun to threaten.i The Emperor was reported to have declared his intention to follow out the policy laid down by Nicholas at the Congress of V'ienna. Prince Gortsebakoff 's instructions had been confirmed. G;eniual Paskiewitch wats opposed to the arming of serfs, and had addressed time Emperor on the subject. The reigning Empress of Russia, Maria Alex androwna, datughter of the deceased Grand Dtuke Lewis I I, of Hesse-Darmstadt, and born in 1824, is satid to be a woman of strong sense atnd character, of aimable qualities, and posses sing much influence over her consort. They have five children-four sons and otne daughter. The present Czarowitch and eldest son, Nicho. las Alexandrowitchi, was born in 1843.I 'ThEAsoN AT SEBAsTOPOL. General Forey, of the French army, has been I giving information to the Russiuns, and will be I shot, or perhaips exhibited to the gaze of won dering folks, that such a thing is possible as a< traitor. It is hoped nione may be found in the English catmp. I am in a tremendous hurry, asi we sail for some place ini the Gulf of Blurgos to-morrow, 23d, and have a good quantity of I gold on board to pay for the cattle, if any can be got.1 The following is the Lotndon Times' version1 of this extraordina?ry affair: "General Forey's return to France is announced. This officer commanded the corps employed at the siege be foro the arrival of General Pelissier from Africa, and it is rumored that he has fallen into disgrace. To him is attribut~d, justly or otherwise, the failure of the bold coup de wain attempted by General de Dourmel, and in which the latter lost his life. There is now in Paris an officer who states that he was one of the number who actually entered Sebastoipol on the occasion." The gallant effort referred to was made on the glorious, though terrible day of lnkermann, when the French, in repulsing a sortie, followed the reratn Russians into the town. General Forey is therefore, if what is stated is true, chargeable with cowardice in tnot maintaining the advantage he had gainied, for it is presumed that, if he had done so, Sebastopol would that day have fallen, and he would hiatve been the greatest man of the campaign. If he threw away then the chance fortune had thirtust into his hands and sacrificed hinmself, and, for the time, the allied army, such a man deserves the severest punishment; for, had Sebastopol been occupied on the 5th of November, 20,000 brave English and French soldiers would not have sickened and died, from starvation and disease, on the barren hills before that beleaguered city. We cannot believe it is true, at least we hope it is not; but we have given the authority for the statements which point to an adverse con elusion. GEN. QuAN.--A Natchez correspondent of the Boston Journal, in reply to the Washington rumors that the Government has positive assu rance that General Quitman haa nothing to do with any fillibustering expedition against Cuba, says: "Quitman is as dearly engaged in his piratical schemes as ever. Hie left his home a few days since for New Orleans, where the expedition is 4 talked of as certain-all the "positive asstu rance" of the United States Government to the contrary notwithstanding. It is a matter of surprise and grief to many of our citizens, that twenty or thirty young men of this city have within two or -three days left their hiomos to embark in this enterprise, risking therein their lives fortune, and what is more, their honor." THE great California tree will be exhibited in the Park at New York previous to its removal to the exposition at Paris. This tree cost the owner .S12,000 to cut it down and transport it to New Y ork. It is in sections, and it will take tn me'n at least ten days to erect the tree in the Park. The body of it is thirty feet in diame ter and ninety feet high. Senator Gwin, of California, it is said, saw the tree growing at Sierra Nevada. It is said that there is indispu table evidence of this monster of the forest be ARTHUR SIMKINS, EDITOR. EDGEFIELD, S. C. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1855. TO OUR DELINQ,UENTS: FAREWELL : Tu time has come when, in accordance with the esolution we long since adopted and in obedience to ,he dictates of common sense, we must hid you fare vell. Together htve we communed, in every mood 'rom grave to gay, for many pleasant seasons; And Ne had hoped that every one of you would have shown >y your conduct (in regard to the limes,) that you -ecognised our right to live upon the legitimate fruit )f our often difficult and always honest exertions as ditors and publisl era. But you have ignored alke ur requests and* our demands. We therefore send (ou now your last number of the 1 Edgefield Adverti rer." You cannot think hardly of us for taking this iecessary step. It is what you would all do if similar ty dealt with. Are you a merchant! If you had a :ustomer who for years had been trusted by you for a imall sum and, as often as you applied to him for iayment, had constantly neglected your claim, you vould certainly sell him no more goods. Are you a Farmer? The man, whom you had accomodated vith bread year after year, and who (although able) 'esolutely refused a settlement at t!.e end of that time -that man you would drop as unworthy to be accomo ated longer. Are you a Lawyer? a Doctor! a [eacher? T e same argumenturn ad hominem will pply in every case. And is the Printer not a man oo, like the rest of you? Shall he alone he kept out if his rightful dues ! But why ne.'d we reason upon he subject? It is with regret, old friends, that we say o you, "Farewell!" But the word of parting must ie put upon the record. We have enough of paying ubscribers (thanks to the generous crowd!) to " puth ong keep moving" without you. That you can do ithout our visits, is probable enough. And even so et it be !-Valc ! Longum Vale! BUSINESS NOTICES. ROBERT SULLivAN, Edgefield C. H: Our readers vill perceive, by referring to the revised and enlarged Advertisement of Mr. RoBEkT SULLIVAN, that ie mas now fully opened his new and sut erb stock. We vere in his store the other day, and, in looking around, :ould not but be struck with the neatness and com deteness of every arrangement. We say the truth, vien we assert that his goods are of the best and his pri es very moderate. Let those who doubt, call and see r themselves. A. G. RAMSEY, P. 31: We are requested by Mr. IAMsEY to call attention to the positive necessity of >repaying all letters that are designed to be mailed. Dlhcrwisc they will not be despatched to their destina. ion. Some thirty have already been deposited, unpaid. 'heir respective writers had better look to them. and every one, without further notice, would do well o bear in mind that this Regulation of the P. IN. De artment is astringent one, and must be enforced. M. FRAZIER, Edgefield C. H: The full and very tttractive advertisement of Col. FRAZIER, in our pre. ient issue, will of course be read with interest. The olonel's establishment looks brilliant and beautiful, lecked as it is with the rainbow colors of a hundred lry-goods fancies. Turn to another column for the dvertisement. WIL.IAM SHEAR, Augusta, Ga: We need scarce y say anything in commendation of this old and popu ar house. It's sterling merits are well known to all ,vho trade at Augusta in the line of dry goods. It has >een said that Wm. Su E ARa keeps one of the best stores n the Southern country ; and we beleive there is a ;reat deal of truth in the remark. CALHOUN COTTON-SEED. WE are indebted to Mr. WtITE, of Green wood, for L bag of cotton-seed which he denominates the " Cal. ouun cotton-seed." They are in our office and may >e examined by any who like. This seed is said to 'qual any uplands now in use, whether for productive. ess or excellence of staple. Should any desire to try the present season, they can procure the seed in mall quatntities, at S1 per bushtel, by applying t o Mr. .M. Nicueotas at th-a " Carolitna Hotel." FLORID.A SYRUP. A~ONG with others, we have been favored by Capt. ons LtrsCosIDE, of our village, with a portion of is very ntice Florida syrup. It is reatlly arn excellent .rticle to accompany hut biscuits and good rye-butter n the way of lunch.--The Captain itnforms us that he aises it in abunxdanc~e on his place in Florida, as dto lost of his brother planters there. They use it abun lantly for their negroes. This is certainly one advan age, and a considerable one, which the Floridianis ae over us. THE INSTITUTE CONCERT. Mrs. RAYMOND and hter scholars gave a dlelightfulI 'oncert, on Friday night last, mn the large hall of the eml Institute, before a brieliant anid attentive au* tence. The young ladies and little girls performed heir parts in better style decidedly thani we ht-vs ver before known them toglo. There was a neatness, .n accuracy, a propriety, a spirit about the whole ifair which reflects, high credtt upon the exc-ellent tdy who presided and directed during the evening. ler girls on this occasion gave such manifest proof oh heir admirable training, that we cannot imagine how .oy one can lunger distrust the advancement of their augtters in this beautiful art of Music, when tunder ra. RAYMON's charge. There was a new feature n the audience too, which gratified us exceedingly. twas the respectful attenttiun which every one, little oya and all, exhibited towards the lovely performers. rhe circumstance, we thought, evidenced not only hat the hearers were entertained pleasanttly, but that here was an atmosphere of true gentility previailing hroughtout the evening. We doubt not that every one eresent felt itndebted to Mrs. R. aned her chtaring cchool for this very agreeable concert. FIRE. 0a Wednesday last the Court House at this place :aught on fire from a spark that fell upon the roof. ['ho flame was discovered when quite small, and by he activity of several daring citizens, was arrested at nn early stage of its progress. Otherwise, Edgefield Nold have been to-day without a Coturt House. And he confusion in the state o: the Public Recordsw which Dust have occurred, would probably have been felt y the District for many a l-on. day. This circum tance strongly suggests to the Commissioners of Pub ic Buildings, not only in Edgefield but elsewhiere hroughout the State, the great necessity n~ hich exists r fire-proof Court Houses, at least to tthe extent of in or slate roofs. We are glad to observe that sever t of ur on n Commissioners are impressed with the mportance of this thing ; and we shall confidently ook to them to act out their feelings in this regard at ts early a day as they may find practicable. Sorely, t would meet with the highest acceptance from the ,vhole people of Edgefield. By the bye, it occurred to us the other day, afte his threatening fire wa'.rs extinguished, that there had mene been a Fire Engine and a Fire Company in the rillage of Edgefield to meet occasions of this kitnd, knd we naturally asked, what has becomne of this am >f our city police!? Some said in reply that " they ,verestill in existence, btut that the Company never urned out ! and that the Engine was used to supply WrrT'rs Boiler under the hill with wvater from the :elebrated creek of Beaver-dam! !" How is this, lolonel of the " Bloody 7th!?" Is it enough to exempi nen from militia duty, that they merely keep up the came of an organized corps, without the first symsp o of real efficiency ?-And how of-the Engine, thr. INTNDANT of Edgefield, or whoever has the care if such things!? Is it not tho property of the Town, Lnd should it not be kept ever ready for the purpose vhich was had in view by those who purchased it h'e ask these questions suggestively, with the single nttion of drawing out a true statement of the case 'rom those better posted thtan ourself. DULL TIMtES AND DOG FIGHTS. Since Court, our town seems to have fallen back nt the same old channel of peace and quiet which isually characterises it. To break thu monotony, eral exciting dog fights have been gotten tip ant eeral more are pending. One clay in partic:ular, here seemed to be a mancia upon the subject, match ifter match having been made to the great delectation if all beholders. This is encouraging the breed of >ul-dc'gs in a manner at once effective and edifying :ffective, because it fully tests the durability of out leveral kennels-and edifying, because, the lookers-on have. a fine opportunity of learning the various bull fog grabs, from the throttle to the leg-holt. Besides, A NEW RAIL ROAD PROSPECT. THE Directors of the Savannah Valley Rail Road Company have recently held a meeting in Hamburg, for tae purpose of consulting upon the several ques tions of importance to that. Company. Among other things, the Augusta subscription of four hundred i thousand dollars was rejected, as we understand, on 1 rccount (mainly) of certain conditions with which it' was clogged. Another item, of lively interest to many, I is the determination to institute forthwith the survey of a line, to run from DoaN's Mine in Abbeville Dis trict, as direct as possible to the Village of Aiken on the South Carolina Rail Road. We suppose the ulti mate intention is, when Charleston shall have placed her figures in handsome style upon the books of the Company, to locate the road, or at all events a branch of it, according to this proposed survey. We have said that this is a matter of lively interest to many; we may add, that it is scarcely more so to I any other community than to the one in and around i the Town of Edgefield. By an examination of the i late map of South Carolina, which is thought to be one of uncommon geographical accuracy, it will be seen that a direct line front Dorn's to Aiken will not run more than four miles below this place, say some- I where near Horn's. Creek Meeting-House. But any I one acquainted with the very hilly-almost precipi- i tous-character of that region, must see at once that I to run a Rail Road along there would be next to an I impossibility. The best wiay, and in fact we regard it the only one, of avoiding the difficulties of this di rect route, will be to diverge slightly to the left in i coming down, after passing Beaverdam Creek, so as I to strike the ridge between Beaverdam and Horn's Creeks ; or, which may be better still, to follow the valley of the Beaverdam into the very Village of Edgefield. Either deflecti' it would necessitate the location of the Road sufficiently near to us to be of great utility, while neitherone would increase the dis. tance between the two termini more than a mile. Of course the practicability in either case would have palbably the advantage over the direct line. It would thus seem that circumstances, one way or I another, are bent upon giving us a Rail.Road. The chance now dawning upon us, through the Valley Company's operations. is quite as cheering as any we have heretofore had. If the intent is a bona fide one on the part of that Company-we see no reason for I doubting that it so-and if Charleston shall co me forward (as is expected) readily and full-handed to the help of the work, it may be carried out at an early day. Who knows but that in this very way, so little anticipated in all our calculations, we may soon enjoy Rail Rotd facilities to our hearts' content ! But the reflection next suggests itself, shall we, the denizens of so respectable a burgh as Edgefield, sit down with grinning satisfactio: , and see other people build a road by which we are to he immediately and largely benefitted, without so much as moving a finger towards its assistance ? For one n c answer, No! We I should step forward with the spirit of men, and meet the enterprise, not only with cordial well-wishes, but with substantial aid. " How !" it may be asked. We answer, by tur. ing over the subscription, which we proffered to the Greenville & Columbia Company, to the Savannah Valley Company. The objection will be raised, that a portion of this subscription *would fly I off, if the attempt were made to divert it from its original purpose. Granted. And yet, if we know any thing of the men whose names are appended to that subscription list, one hundred thousand dollars would stand firm, provided lie guarantee were given that we should have a Rail Road certainly and speedi. ly. Neither would this involve the least breach of promise towards the Greenville & Coluinbia Company. Consider the position of matte-s between us. We have made up one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which amount has been tendered to the Greenville & Columbia Coin any upon certain reasonable condi. tions. This sum was raised, in no inconsiderable de gree, upon the hopes created by the President of that Road himself. Of his own sincerity in the matter we have not a doubt, nor of his earnest desire that the connecting link between Ninety-Six Depot, or Green wood, or a point near New Market, and some point at or near Aiken, should be built. But his co-directors seem not to have agreed w ith him. They have deter. mined that now is not the ilme to enter Upn t2ia work. Our proffe~r, of one hundred atnd fifty thousand dollars, lias beetn slighted if not despised. Sticht being the state of matter.,, what hinders but that we proceed to turn over our said subscription, or as much of it as may be, to the Savannah Valley Road. Free are we to admit that the connectinig link just alluded to is the one we ,hould choose on several grounds. Bit this opportunity is closed agtainst its ; and, in the very nick of time, another presents itself. Shall we slight it, anid he cut off forever from the peculiar benefits of the age ! Or shall we lay hold upon the occasion with energy, and show that we are willing to w'ork in any harness for the common good of our District and State! tet us be on the alert. Time flies. Enterprises are on foot in every quarter of the country. Let not Edge field Village be the only place where they are frowned itto failure. INCENDIARIES ABOUT. ISome few nights since, a palpable ellort was made to fire the matin block of Buildings on our square-we mean, the Park Row block as it is called. T1hte incen diary liad placed beneath thte back steps of Col. Cntis 'riE's store, combustible materials of ditferenit kinds and among them a large piece of fat ightwooid. At the time the fire was discovered, the lightwood ha-h begun to bturn freely and the flame was rapidly taking hold of thte steps. Luckily, a gentleman sleeping in a room near the sp'.t, awoke in time to drag the burning pine from benteath the steps before they had well ignited. And thus our town narrowly escaped another disastrous fire on ithe very spot wihere oite occurred a few years ago. This was evidently the work of an iticendiary. That there is danger about us cannot be denied ; and our citizens cannot be too watchtftul under the circusmstan ces. We conceive it to be the duty of our Town Council at least to offer a reward for thetdiscovery and apprehension of the villain who has here sought to perpetrate one of the darkest ofliences in the whole caalognie of crimes. A DAILY ft[AIL. WE have I efore us a letter from the Post Office Deartment, forwardedl to us hy our attentive Congres sional Representative, lion. P. S. Batoxs. It is in reply to one addressed to the Depar:ment by Mr.I Bonxs, on the subiject of a daily Mail betwveen Au gusta, Ga., and Ninety-Six Depot otn the Greeniville & Colombia Railroad. Our memiber wsas informed of the earnest desire of many of his Edgefield constituents, that this Dail y Mail line should be granted ; and with most praise-worthty promtptitude he applied to the pro Iper officer, urging in strong terms the ttecessity of thte inc. We are sorry to say that for the present the ap pl.iati has gone by the board. Bitt in the letter efore us, the hope is held out that the arrangement may be made so as to take effect at the nest general letting-out of contracts for the U. S. tnail-seivice. Would it not be well to get up a petition forthwith to this end!i Who does not desire a daily channel of intelligence, connectinig us with the world arotind!i Now is our chance to proicure it. Let it be pressed by all means. With the present disposition of the Depart ment in regard to the mtijter, a strong petition, backed by the influence of our energetic Representative, coutd scarcely fail of success. NEGRO FOUND DEAD. A negro man, belonging to Col. JOHn BAUsKETT, was found dead within the last week, near the Edge field Hamburg Plank Road some ntiiles belcw this place. We learn that anl inquest was held over the body, JotNn L. ADDtsoN, Magistrate, and a verdict was rendered of " death from intemperance and ex posre." STRIKING CONTRAST. A~foNG the numerous details of the AtlantiC's in telligentce, we observe two clauses which exhibit ini a marked manner the respective characteristics of the French anud English capitals. In London, wh-en the news of the Czar's death was proclaimed by the man agers of the several theatres, the announcement was Ireceived with tumulluous cheering. In Paris, the police arrested the ballad-singers for chanting verses disresp etful to the dead Czar. Let each one draw his own conclusion. To our view, the contrast is de cidedly in favor of the French. ENORMOUS. THEi Empress of Russia, in addition to the expenses of tier houisehold establishment, receives 600,000 roubles a year (equal to nearly half a million of dol lars) which she retains after the death of her husband, so long as she resides in Russia ; but if she quits the country she only receives one half. Gather from this OUR PAPER. IT cannot be said 'of those connected with the Advertiser," that a boastful spirit has been genera ed amongstus by its. ucee.'ful career. With all our aults and short-comings is foible of self-laudation a not to be laid at our door. We leave it to our atten ive readers to say whether or- not this be true.-Yet ve conceive it to be but. justice to ourselves, and our mited efforts to please the public, to call attention, ince in a volume, to the fact that we have a paper vhich will compare favorably with its cotemporaries f the country, wherever found,. and that we are spar ng no proper outlay of time and money to keep it up o the requirements of each succeeding year. At this articular time, we think thit without vanity we can ay claim to as much of variety and interest in our wenty eight weekly columns as can any other weekly heet of our size and description. Without a w. rd as a the manner in which we are accustomed to fill our wn peculiar department, we would request each sub. criber to observe that we have an " Agricultural )epartment" watched over and provided fur by two entlemen of talent and scientific attainments, and a Religious Department" under the care of a young inister of high worth and great purity. Surely, the eneral reader will not fail to appreciate properly these uperior features of our present volume. All we ask and it is the cream of this paragraph,) is that our enerous patrons will continue, as they have done, to Lid us in the extension of -our sphere of usefulness. Ve beg them to send on additional subscribe.s, assu ing them that it will but enable us to afford them a veekly feast of higher flavor and richer mould. Our resent number we send to some, who are not now ubscribers, with the hope that they too will fancy iur appearance and take us into the bosom of their tomgs4 ALMOST UNPRECEDENTED. AGAIN we revert to the cold weather of larch [855. It is, truly, almost unprecedented. We have iard the opinion of that venerable individual, " the ldest inhabitant," and it is, that there has not been n any one year during the current century so much if bitter cold weather in the month of Slarch (in this atitude of course) as during the last four weeks. For everal mornings since our notice of last week, the hermometer I.as stood as low as 270 Fahrenheit. 5everal persons have mentioned to us that they ob erved ice an inch in thickiless. The fruit is all killed, raving perhaps a few crab and horse-apples. A more yackward looking Spring seldom comes along. Let is hope that, when " April wakes and starts around The-sleeping fragrance from the ground," he days will become genially warm, the nights balmi y mellow, Lte zephyrs propitiously mild and the howers delightfully gentle. Thus shall we be led to rorget the late freezings and nippin.s of March, and .o tejoice in the leafy and flowery beauties of his more ovely successor. THE ATLANTIC'S NEWS. TIE last Steamer brings intelligence from the East, he details of which we would be glad to gtve in full, lid our limits admit. The death (if the Czar is confirmed beyond all man ier of doubt. He died in his palace at St. Peters )urg, about noon on the second day of the past mouth. e is reported to have met the King of Terrors in full aostession of his intellect, perfectly calm, and with wreat presence of mind. ' It was generally supposed that a rupture would take )lace between his twe eldest sons, ALEXANDER and ,oNSTANTINE, in rejard to the succession. But it low appears that a few days before the death of ICIcnoLAs, he had succeeded- in effecting a complete -econciliation between his edis. The consequence has seen that ALEXANDE3, the elder brother, has ascend d the throne without opposition from any quarter. Phe t atter has declared bisfirm intention to carry out he policy of his father in the pending struggle with lie Eastern powers. Yet it may be gathered from the one of French and Engliph.correspondents generally hat strong hopes are entertained, based upon his well mown goodpcss of heart and patific disposition, that he new Emperor nill not prosecute the war with the arelenting and untiring vigor of his august parent. rhe same letter-writer sua to fear that the strong lease and high charactet r ane -phesenr-Impre AEXANDER's wife) may have the effect of supplying Lny lack of the stesrner sttuff.in her husband's compo lition.

They concen trate public nttention upon -its buildings, its sights, " lions," and woniders, its nttraettonis of every name and class, uppermost to the publie mind. They go into every nook and corner of thme surroutding country, inito every mian's door, and to every man's fireside; they go abroad to very great distances, into other communities, iamotng strangers, exciting an interest amuotng its concerns, atid spreading information of its traido atid attrnetiots wherever they go. The more the pttblic itt large hear and read of a town or country, the more they are tempted to see, visit and explore it. WVhat would a merchatnt be if his name were unknow~n to the public, and his business were as obscure as his name? Whait would a merchant's sign board over the street door oIf his; store do itn attracting trade, if he did not send it with a catalogue of his wares in a newspatper, to every man's door? Who would ho tempted to visit a town that had tno newspapers, and which they would hear of otnly accidentilly, and oncee in a year or a life lime." A good ttewspaper gives more importunice to it town thatn till other agencies combined. What passion is more universal than the passion for reaiding newspapers anod learnting the news? Whatt disposition is more general and uncon trollable, thtan the disposition to visit places that we hear of and read of in every newspjaper that tomes to our door? CHIeAGo, MarCh 27. The Governor of Wisconsin has vetoed the prohibitory. liuor. .. lawjt passed by the Ln gis. Arrival of the Steamer Asia, ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE. The steamship Asia has arrived at Halifax with one week's later advices from Europe. LIVERPOoL MFIARKET.-COtton had declined a iixteenth to an eight penny. The sales of the week are 67,000 bales, of which speculators took 3.500, and exporters 11,000 bales. The :irculars quotes Fair Orleans five eights, Mid. cling five one-sixteenth to five one-eighth, Fair Uplands five three-eights, Middling four seven eights. The market closed dull and unchanged. FaoM THE EAST.-The Conference at Vienra was formally opened on the 151h March. Gort chakoff was not present. Hopes and fears regarding peace are about equally balanced. Austrian und Prussian circulars indicate peace but Alexander's adtiress to the army breathes a warlike spirit. THE allies have re-opened their fire upon Se astopol. The journey of Napoleon to the Crimen is supposed to be pos3poned. The English Committee of Enquiry is still siting. The Belgian crisis continues. Prussia refused to accede to a treaty with the llies, and will therefore be excluded from the Conference. The Russians are formidably for ifying Inkermann, and had sunk two more ships in the harbor The siege work is progressing with the greatest activity. Austria has addressed a letter to the German ic Federal Government, informing them that the Austrian Commissioners will present a new proposition for the effectual mobileization of the Germanic contingent-, and also insists upon the necessity (of being prepared for all eventualities. Prussia has issued a decree prohibiting the xportation of articles to the contraband war. Osten 4acken is now in command at Sevas topol since the death of Nicholaw. The general aspect in monetary affiirs has undergone a fa vorable change. English accounts state that Nicholas, when addressing Alexander; adv'sed him to make peace, even at the loss of Russian influence in the Black Sea; that he wo;uld take the responsi bility, as lie had not believed in the possibility of the Anglo French alliance ; that Alexander's onstant effort should be to detach France from England, and unite Russia with Austria and Prussia. Nicholas added, that perhaps his pride had been excessive. God had humbled him therefore. After death his body was to be ex posed in the Chapel until the 16th, then to be buried with the usual solemnity. Telegraphic reports says, that the dis'tissions in Conference upon the general basis of the negotiations had terminated satisfactorily. Rumors are current, that England and Austria will be satisfigd witlout the demolition of Se vastopol, but Napoleon absolutely insists on that condition. CUBAN AFFAIRS.-The Spanish Government has received a confidential despatch from Coi Oha, which inspires it with uneasiniess, recum mends concession be made and the Cuban depu ty admitted into the Cortes, begs Government not to emancipate the slaves, as it would cause Cuba to seek admission into the United States says if Cubans are not pacified twenty thousand troops could nit hold Ine Iland. Government has otlicially notified the Cortes-tranquility restored in Cuba. Geii. Concha sent the details of the Cuban conspiracy to the Cortes, recommending large concessions to the Cubans, which was unaii mously approved. BURNING THE WOODS. The following well-timed remarks are from the Charleston Mercury, while speaking of the sad ravages of the destructive conflagration which hias been so recently raging in all sections of this and adjoining States : These are the evils which follow the burning of the woods merely, but when to them are ad ded the destruction of houses, settlements, fen es, rovisions, and at a time when the planter is bending all his energies in preparation for the coming crop, it is impossible to condemn the euatom m termis too strosib, or to recommend' the resort to measures too harsh. It is an evil which should be correeced by the most efficient legislation, imposing severe penalties upon those who for their own iittle interests recklessly in liet ineatlculable loss upon others. These tires usully origiinate with men who have a few eat. tIe, set fire to oither people's woods in order that they may have early pasturage. A wisp of lighted straw begins the work which ends in such consequences as we have spoken of. T[hle thing is so easily done, a.id the chances of detection so remote, that nothing but the most active legislation, vigilantly enforced, will prove of any L.vail. To us the idea is intolera ble, of people being permuitted, every season, to commit such acts of impunity--acts which ex hmibit the mtost criminal disregard to the property aid interests of others. A iiublc forest is toO rich ain inheritatnce to be thus ruthlestly destroy ed. It is the supiport anid hope of a people's agricultural future, no less than the pride and ornment of their possessions. And the codes of civilized nations visit with severe punishment the very conduet wvhich in South Carolina knows no rebuke. it is full time that some thing pratctical be done, and with these remarks we leave the matter to the planters cf the State, whose interests have suffered so long and dearly from the prevalence of the custom. SavassAu VAtLLEY RAIL RoAD.-The Direc tors oft this Road have been in sessio~n at H-am brg, antd ini various conferences with Commit tees from the City Concill and citizens of Aim gusta, for the last three daiys, and we regret to learn that the subscription oh $500,000, on tne part of thme city, h;.s not been confirmed.

STRANGE PREssmENMT.-At the coal mine exlosioin near Richmufomid, ir. Samuel Guulden, ne of lthe overseers, was killed. Tue Despatch says he had a dream oii Sunday night, which weighed heavily on his mimnd. Before starting to work on Monday morning, he conversed freely with his wife, and instructed her how to act if he should meet with any accidemt thma; day. Af ter starting to work, he returned three times to kiss his little children and bid theta good bye. T1he poor fellow iiever sit them again ! REv. WILIAM B.

He was a minis ter of the Presbyterian denomination, laboring for more than thirty years with zeal and fidelity, evincing that he was fully alive to the iumpor Lance of his mission. THEa Ftnsr SENTENCE UNDER THE DUELLING LAWS AT NEW. ORLEANS.-Julan Pays, coinvic ted at New Orleans of killing a man ini a duel, has been sentenced to thirty days imprisonment in the Stte prison. Thme Judge who sentenced him said : " As you have been found guilty, it becomes my duty to sentence you. The laws allows me to sentence you for twenty ye-ars or less, at my disretion. Tfaking into view all the circum stances of your ease, not the least of which is that you are the first who has been convicted of the offence, and.the fact that you are repre sented by all to be a mamn of mild and peacea ble temper, that you haive been, during a resi dence of twenty jears, honest and uprignt in all your relations of lire, and that you h-ave never e.fore bee charged with any violation of law, I shall, therefore, seintene you to thirty datys, imprisonment at bard labor in the State prison.' "B Js THERE YE T?"-Considerble curiosity, ot to say excitement, has been arotused in New Orleans by the phrase, "Is there yet?1" posted up about the city. Speculations differ as to whether it shall be understood r?s referring to some Know-Nothing society, or as bearing uponi the fiuhan qtnestion. A BusINESS Max.-A commercial gentleman recently arrived at Niagara Falls just before midnight. He immediately bought a globe lan tern. croased to Goat Island, examined the cat aract, and in 37 minutes had finished up the great American wonder, and was once more on his way to Albany. C OM3 ER CIA L. Correspondence of the Advertiser. HAMBURG, MARCH 31. Co-rro.-During the week ending to-day we have had a brisk market at an improvement in prices of the week previous. The recent improvement in prices, was predicated upon the probability of an immediate adjustment of the European difficulty con sequent to the death of the Czar. Subsequent advices from Europe inform us that his son and successor seems to indicate his determination to carry out the line (of policy of his predecessor, which had the effect to check the upward tendency or prices, and sellers have submitted to J to a decline from the highest point.
