A IttUcr Fact. HOW A PROMINENT BUSINESS MAN WENT TO RUIN. It is brit a few yours since, says the Chicago Journal, that tho huuso of Ben nett 1'iotera ?& (Cp.j wholesale liquor dealers, nod proprietors of tho "Bed Jacket Bitters," stood high among our beatrkiiuwii, most enterprising ;>ud re apousiblo firms. Iu almost every paper of the, country advertisemouta were to be seen. Mr. Phters was a man ol fine tbiii-tics, and besides being shrewd aim Successful in business, he was possessed of superior scholarly attainments. His home was among tho most elegant and refined in tho city, adorned in the most chaste and beautiful manner, and grace fully presided over by hid wife an esti mable accomplished lady. Whi'c in the full tido of prosperity, with wealth pour ing in upon mm,'Peters fell, lie could not resist tho temptation offered by the demon concealed beneath the rosy hue of the wine cup, and his imagination was heightened and his brain exhilarated by the sparkling Champagne of his own bitteft. The high reputation of his firm began to feel the cffci ts of his dowuwnrd course and finally catno the crash. Pie tors wns ruined, he struggled vainly for a time, but tho power of the fiend with whiuD he had so long tampered was ton great; nud nerveless, aud unresistingly ho wns hurried to the .consummation of his 'career. His elegant home Rpou followed his business' house: rich and valuable presents made to his family were BwalluWed up in the general ruiu or went to gratify still more his increasing thrift for driuk uutil at last he and they 033 wcre4hoi!!'j?'o5s arid? well-nigh friend! A tew months since he euli'sted in the United" States service cb a private soldier ond i.s now with hi? regitnentsomewhere ou the great Pluius of the West. Hi.* broken hearted wife has filed a petition for a legal separation from him,alleging that she lias been reduced to utter pov crty'ttud misery through her husband's love of intoxicating drink. The story of her n.isfurtuues is indeed heartrending aud* if anything were yet uoeded to urge on the frieuds of temperance and reform it;Svuiild be found in thterrible fate of Tutors and his innocent family. i _ A mit of lender Brides. r Jl\\ Vt rWiT Ii ' Vc^.V'iik C' mmorcial rtiser is "on tjUerwiug." He stop ? at -Homer the other morning for brcukfast, and k.d tho good foituno to meet a "qunittttc biidal party,"of wliich h,Q thus discourses: ..This 1:101 ning at the Syracuse ll..n>e I, breakfasted with a pair of In ides and a jp^jjr.of bridegrooms? n sort of bridal quailettc, They were from ('inland. j^?}?juk, in the couutry. I knew they were just married from a variety of roa. bous. First, when they alighted from the omnibus to enter the hotel both young ladies took the arms of the gen Uemcti, who said, " Pear, let me carry your sutthcl." Just behind them came some old mar rjcd i.e< pie. 1 knew they h;id been Berried sometime, for the men pounced out, starting, luggago in hand, straight lor the hotel, leaving their wives with small satchels to follow, sing'e file,behind thotii. At break fast the bridt 8 appeared in bridal lavender, Everything was laven der? lavcjuler dress* s, la vernier hats With lavender strings, aud luven lor glorca- If ever 1 get married Mrs. Per kins shall wear (if she plea-c> ) a suit ol plan black, und then we eau enjoy our AOD0J4U03U iu peace, The young llUS bntida both wore broadcloth suits und black hats. Both wore paper collars nnd ouffs, ond one wore a pap -r shirt, bosom. A his ! w hat a shock such d cap tion must be to a young and guileless wife. Why, iu my opinion, a pap-r cob lar is no more indication of a real shirt than a clothes line! At breakfast these young husbands didn't lttlp.themselves first when tiny sat down at the t*iblc, but they turned to the brides in luvender and said loving ly, "Jluve a roll, dtnr." Then they put sonic butter on the luvender b.ides, plates, and ?iey looked up and said, "Tlmuk ^ou, dear" with a smile too hap py to dcsciibo. When breakfast was over one of the young husbands sfciilod sweetly aud said : "Now, darling, can't I smoke just once?you know you said 1 might. Yes Charlie just once, and then the two brides stotd and looked vucnotly out the wiudows till their sweethearts oaue kiek . When the old married people si?i d<?wu there was a diflereut scene, 'i he. oid follows scooped in their beefsteak nod sausage, never looking up to see how their wivia were getting along, und when they got i hi '.ii h they shuffled off into tho rending room mid loaded up nicer* sham pipes with ihn strongest puveudiah Then they tulked politics expcetu:atiug on the Btove und urouud the z'uio stove, notonco thinking of their poor wives, whow cro lidi to amuse ilo.ni-elves with Boighborhood gossip.

Property and Labor," the Voikville L'mj.uircr, a well edited and? valuable exchange, makes practical suggestions ;:s to the cultivn tion of more land and the further de vclopeineul of our agricultural resources. It says: It i* clear that itiato the in Merest of tho whole State that all her resources be developed. It may he set down as approximating the trruth, that the only class ?f resources in South Carolina, at present Available-, is her agricultural resources. V.'c do not mean that South Carolina has no other available resour ces; all we mean i-, that at present: ouy people generally, from clucarb u ?nu the force of h.bit, will n it eugagc ex tensivcly in aiiything but liliiog tbesoi'.

V iicult ivutud ti Ids arc c:;ly *o much dead cuptrul. What we n can be n sy?tei;i of tenan try is simply this. Let the land holder divide out his laud into small farms. Cn these let b ni erect comfortable houses and !?as9 nut these small farms 10 laborers, making it a point to give tho cultivators of these farms remuncra tijne wages. 1 u this case the Und bidder has, the choice of labor, llciiee it will be to tho interest of the laborer t. he industrious aud make as ma ivy im pvovemcuts on tho promises a.' possible. improvements will he r muneraiivc, both to liiuisoll an! the owner of the premises.

The Union cendensss the report ol Mr. dillson, Supcrintcnd-.int ol Educa tion from which we glean a few figures of interest. Tho scholastic population for 1871 is set down at 84,204 white children, aud 125.172 colored; n total of 200.'.57?. The total number of teach ers employed in 1872 was 2185, of which 1GS2 were white and IDS colored. The total number of schools in 1S72 were 1010, an increase of 28(? over tho previous year. The report puts do to the number of .school houses in the en tire State at 1 70. Mr. Jillson com ' plains of the inefficiency of thu Scho d System.

In a previous ;s uo of the N*K\V3 ap peared on editorial article i the sub jeet of the bill to refund the Cotton Tax, in which we gave a synopsis of this measure of interest to the Southern planter. We notice that our article lias, been rcpublished in several of our ex changes.

It is now stated, and seems to be very gene I rally believed, that a most ?U tertniucd effort is to bo made before the und of th.; winter iu this direction. The am nut collected by tho internal tax on cotton looted* up something like $70,01)0,0011 The tax was. iu many instance, paid under protest by the planters or lh<h agents, and receipts were, iu must c-,ae , taken. It is represented that tne original holders of these receipts, a year or two ago, became disheartened st tho pros pects of gotting their money book, and parted with them at prices rauging from live to twenty cell's on the doll ir.
