A lull in hostilities in the first naked struggle has giren tisc to a hope of peaoe; hut Unrt was a fierce bat tle on tho 24th of March, liear I'eshbotak, in whioh the "Bengal I .oncers made a brilliant charge," and from the locality ^pf. this engagement, it is likely to be the forerunner of others. The hostilities in South Africa promise to be long and bitter, and the debate yesterday in the House.of , Commons shows that it bids fair to produce serious disssfttiop at heme. On our continent a new war is promised with Sitting Bull, who, it . is positively stated, only wails for tho openiug of spfiag to begin a fresh-attack. Meanwhile wo are threatened with a looser struggle in Alaska. Iu South Atnoricn war is en the point of breaking out between Chili aud Bolivia, and . tho movcmcut of the Peruvian ironclads, which have been ordered to proceed at once to Iquique, one of the most southerly ports of Peru, is very eminons. It is said by advices just received that Chili lias given a point blank refusal to discuss disputed questious with the Peruvian envoy. The result seems to be that Chili will have to fight single handed both Bolivia and Peru. Iu this cveut it is thought that the Argentine Republic will seiso the opportunity to ;i? ? * nloA RlmiiLl iliiu nrnvA Into tin* Bbrmu ui vviiiii ojoui uuvu?x? ???w .... southwestern republic will be heavily ovcrmatdjjsd. While Asia, Africa and America aretliUs embroiled, there are dark-looking c'ouds gathering over Europe. Tho Nihilist movement in Russia is undoubtedly spreading, ifwolnay trust various concurreut accounts, and to-day's news from Moscow is far from encouraging. Itis said that a hundred arrests have been made in thnt city-in'consequence or tho assassinatiou of a government Bpy. There are likewise roports of a violent rupture between the Cxnr and-his eldest pon, it being eveu alleged that the Czarcujtch has been put under arrest. Yesterday the General of the Gendarmerie at St. Petersburg, Von Drcutcleu, was fired at as he was driving in his carriage by a man on horsebnek who, after discharging two shots without effect, escaped in a sleigh. There are disquieting rumors meanwhile from Berlin, where the Socialists are credited with being on the eveof a critical movement, arid the splendid condition of the French artny is dwelt upon by the European press with foreboding emphasis. The storm has either burst or threatens to burst over all four quarters of the globe ; but we congratulate ourselves that in the United States it will, in any case, be limited to a very small area, and can inflict only a comparatively moderate amount of damago. ?

C., March 21,-?A meeting of the planters in this neighborhood a as held on the 31st of March at Mount rieasant to urgo upon our members in Congress the importance of securing an appropriation from that body to open Broad River for the navigation of steamers of light draft. Mr. Wm H. Huff was called to tlie chair and Mr. Monroe Wicker was appointed secretary. Col. Ellison S. KeiU by invitation addressed the meeting in a clear and forcible speech, in which he demonstrated that the work was cmi-neutly practical at a small cost considering the immense good results that will flow to v'te people uot only of this section but the oulirv. State. Col. Keitt at the conclusion of his speech offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, the opening of Broad River to stealers of light draft will not only greatly facilitate and cheapen the transportation of our arops of every kind, but will open up a stupendous industry by making available the immense granite beds that line its banks, and which by actual tests of specimen^ fbrnished Oen. James Jones, superintendent of the State Capital before the war, was pronounced the best, but was unavailable for want of transportation ; aud Whereas, the openiug of, Broad Iliver to the navigation of steamers will give us water transportation throughout the heart of the State, from the mountains to tho sea. JUtolved, That we earnestly request our members in Congress to urge the survey of Broad River at the earliest moment, and to spare no efforts to get an appropriation sufficient to remove all obstructions aud make it navigable for steamers of light draft.

G loohy Outlook roa Gb sax Uhitajm.-- London April 2.?Mr. David Mclvor, one of the proprietors of the Cunard line, and member of Parliament for Bcrltenhead, writes to the Tithe* declaring unhesitatingly that, from his personal experience as a currier he does not know of any nation whose trade prospects at present are so gloomy as Great Britain's. The depression in the United States and elsewhere does not at all approach the depression here. The British exports to the United States are comparatively nothing, either at* regards volume or value.? The British food importations are steadily in/ refuttnir. anil the balance af trails ia so over whelmingiy against Great,Britain thai lie sees nothing bul ruin for homo industries, whether manufacturing or agricultural, if the present status of tilings is allpwed to continue. The export tf ide front Liverpool to the United States is so small that whenever the restrictions on importations of United States eatfle are removed gentlemen who are prepared to put additional steamers into the trade deliberately intend to make outward voyages with water bul* last only, without joining in the scramble for the little outward freight which other owners have recently been carrying an ballast at merely nominal rates. ? , A Nxw York Travkuy.4-Now York, April 4.?Washington Nathan, spn of Benjamin Nathan, who was murdered in Twenty-third street some years ago, was shot yesterday morning at the Broadway Hotel by Mnnon Ward, an aotress.

It is so seldom that a good Company comes this way, we should give this one tlio encouragement it ^ deserves. tt Well Boring. el Our youog friend Joseph McKissick bus just r< completed boriug a well upou Col.

'Ttftnato, Beet and Peper Plants, Beans, Squashes, Irish Potatoes, &o., here uncovered,. were killed, and young corn adly nipped. We sum it all up in the beliof tat our fruit crop will be short in quantity and iferior in quality, and our gardens will be much tier than usual We are not hurt half so bad s the farmers and gardeners in the lower counes, where all kinds of crops were in a more lvnnccd stato than ours.

The Strawberry Crop.?The strawberry plant i very hardy and gave no indication yesterdny f having Mtferod at all from the frost. The irmers, however, say that this crop has been laterluily injured aud -vill be set back fully two reeks. Cucumbers and Tomatoes.?These crops have ecn, with few exceptions, killed outright. Beans ani> Peas.?These crops have suffered onsiderably and in many sections the damage i estimated as high as 60 per cent. The bean rop especially is injured, as it is considered too tie to replant. The peas were pretty well ad-t anccd, and in many sections escaped alto ether, while in others the loss was extensive. The other crops were not materially injured, eing more hardy and farther advanced. The loss to the truck farmers nround harlcstcn is estimated at a quarter of a union dollars.
