CArSMSTON CnlA InenRoF oMMERcE. -The merchants of Savannah are about reviving the "Chamber of Com morce and Mercbant's.Exchange,",. of that city. In speaking of the subject, the Savannah Morning News pays the following merited tributj to one of our own cherished Institution. That a Chamber of Commerce is a necessity is shown in the fact that in all the coramrcial marts of this country they are fostered and sustain ed. In the city of Charleston it has ) proven of vast use in -giving to that D city the position she occupies, not 0 withstanding the ordeal through, which she has passerl, and preserved at loast the commercial relations of her people intact from the schemes of the destroyor. Bus. iNyss ON A Goi.t, BASi.-The advertising columns of .the New York aind Philadelphia papers contaii an nouncenjents from retail dealers that they have marked their goo(s down to a gold value, and that, where change is necessary it will be given in silver. If the gold proium i should continue downward, or rather government pa per continue to go up, it will eventu ally bringing iato play the one or two hundred millions of gold coin in the country, thus adding that much to the circulating modium. _WINNSBORO. r Wednesday Morning, March 16, 1870. -1,te Secret ofrlolitical PoVer., A policy to become cfrective and bear fruit, must be founded either on Sfacuts as they aire, and their necessary, n or at least natural tendency, or up a rn a determined purpose to effect a ~ change in things as they are, and to . arouse passion to the assistanco of t what is dosired caritestly, and chosen f firmly as that which ought to be. The first relics upon strong conviction as the motive power of success ; tbe second, on firm and unshrinking wvill, - fortified by the proverb, that "where there is a will, there is a way." Now, just at present, this Stato has no policy, and its intelligent property t holders have tihe ohooc of one or the - other of the above principles upon R which to inaugurate one. We agree with the Phwnix, that "it is a momen tous matter, of the very gravest im portance, to give direction to a policy - for a people." But we, nevertheless, I boldly counsel :-"build on things as ( they are, and not on the desire to r change them to what ought to be." Conviction, belief, faith, or whatever name you ohoose to give to the atti r tudo of human nature in the presence D of what is, is far steadier and stronger, v t'ni- h-p or ,ibro, or even deter m 111i .ei piro.w for that which may never be. f Now, then, for the application. f We have not dug down so deup, to the -very granite, for nothing. We have not discussed the knowing, the feeling, and the willing faculties, and demon.. . strated the normal superiority of.the t knowing and believing faculty, for f nothing ; but to give force to our counsel, to run mixed white and black - Legislative tiokets and Grant Con ,gressmen, as the proper logical infer . ence from this philosophy, when ap - plied to present practice in polities. Timc Forces of I~atumre. The position of the Mobile Tribuene, that the issue cannot be changed at the South, and is, and must be, White against Black, and that, therefore, Icompromise is folly, and it is best to forego offico for the present, and trust to time and the forces of nature, is a Ssincere, bold and manly position, and we respect it, aind all who hold it. a Like many bold, fiashy, plausible -theories, howevecr, it simph/ies mnatters - fir 1too much to be truec, and makes r statesmanship far too plai-sailing to a be believed in, or acted upon. 1t is - a clear statement, but not of the y' truth. 'The'logic does not tally with 3 experience, as for example, in our last election for District officers. -We, therefore, reject it. "The forces of nature" had far better ic helped a little by the "medicine"' of "Lard, horse sense.'" And thus, in comment o lng en the Mobile 'Tribune, we dispose a of the "white man's party,"of the Lau c rensvillo i/crald. SA Trinity in PoIgicleg e Ever since our boyhood we distinct. * ly recollect the existence, at all times, enot simply of two, but of three par. ~ ies. And the third party was the -one which now has over fifty repros *t sentatives in the Senate and over two. ~thirds of the House of Represe:j ta . tives. In the presence of stich a feet, a how absurd to argue against a new n party as opposed to the nature of 5 things I Third party movemnente are Sfrequently abortions, for the times don't need them. Bunt the indopend. e ents under Cromwell, the Jacoblos o under RibespIere,-the Radioalsuander a Lincoln, were third par ties .not. to be despised. If the Oonservative Ite. a publican party movement of this'aa e per proves an abortion, it will be be. that the ine. do~lo require the man. If a roal, genuine bully-swonger would lead of.f wgl bass, the entire frog-poild would soon chime in with treble. It is impossible 'to reduce the di versity of nature to the unity of unva rying rule. But the philosophy of history, in general, on* this point, seems to be this : there seems ever to exist two well organized patties, the ono in -power, the other in opposition, together with a third progres-ive par ty of independent thinkers, who tie quently absorb the better portio:i of the other two, rasd triumph over bo I. Thi. is the true political trieity. The Phtenix i4 n ) .alist. We atre orthodox Trinitariantit. Gov. Scott, we venture to bet, is a Unitain, 14ad believes in number one. A Siga of the Tittmes.

Bn.L.. - The interest in the llouse to-day centred upon the Georgia bill and the vote upon the Btingham amendment thereto. Gene rat 1utler's speech was an incoherent harangue, not at all up oven to his own standard, but delivered with ap parent assurance that he was convine ing the rank and file of the House, and that Ie would overwhelm Bing han with the vottes of Republicans against. the amendment. 'o Butler's con.sternation, and to the surprise of some others, when the Speaker called tpon those in favor of Binghani's amendiment to rise, about one-half of the Republicans stood up and these, counted with the Doemo e.ats, carried the amenidment by a voto of 114 to 72. Nessrs. Dwee, Banks, and others of Butler's col leagues voted for the amendmont, and never before did the would be succes sor of Thad. Stevone's leadership ap pear so crestfallen. The vote not only upset Butler, but it ' stroyed the hopes and scheumes of Governor Bullock and his eo.couspirators. The now lease of power and per petuation in office is frustrated and gone. There is jubilation and good cheer to-night among the good men of Georgia and others here in conse (Iience of the defeat of the schemers, Bullock & Co. teprC4eitatIve Men for O01ce. A candid obrorver will scarcely fail to admit, that almost all of ,tho old Federative Republic of the United States that is left, is our rep resentativo system, through which the will of a now consolidated nation is expressed. The battle for liberty is, therefore, now to be fought, in the main, exactly hero, by sending to the Legislature and to Congress truly representative men. Parties and polities are In a mixed and confused conditions The differences between Republicans and 'Domocrats are al most as numerons as the Dumber of prominent men in either party. A wise policy will be, then, undoubted ly, the one which will look to men and their well-known charaeter, and not to the political name they may hap pen to bear. JLet them take any~ namre they/ pleaae, anad run as candidates of any party that is mose likely to elect them, (for all parties are in confusion) provided theoy bc men truly representatire of t he people and of the Stlatc. Elect them on their chiaracter-for sense and hionesty, and let them find a policy, woith theo developments of timec. Just as we would say to a young man :be care ful to develope excellence of charac ter in all parts of y our being, a clear headl, a feeling heart, an undaunted will ; and meet the future depending, not on your eiroumtamicEs, hiut on your character to solve its every problem; so, we say to the citizens of the State, Gil every office you can with men of good tcharacter, truly representative of whaat is best Io our society, and trust your politics caltnly into their bands. By far the most limportent measures of Legislation are often those upon wich parties split, and votes scatter, and, as in the impeachtuent-trial of Andrew .Johnson, a few honest and in dependent men save their party from disgrace, and theIr country fronm dis aster.

Outri MIlItaary Neighlbor. The readers of the Pihcenix must have often been struck by the pleasing introduction of military metaphor: and illustrations, and many, doubtless, follow the example of the Phonix it. self, in not only being captivated, but in being thoroughly deceived by then. Our plain avowal of our conviction that our government is already revo. lutionised, and beyond recovery ; that republican principles, whether for weal or woe, are already infused into its very nature ; and oar open advoca. cy of Conservative Republianism as a policy, as opposed to extreme radi. calism, the Phtenix terms "a flank movement," which "will deceive no body." Look at it: that seems to us, a very singular sort of a flank move mont ; but it may be, for we are not a military nian, and perhaps don't know. Again, all government and statesman ship proceeds by the method of com promise and persuasion ; warfare, by the method of uncompromising force. Our "tactics" are condemned, because we see a great difference between the two things, and detect the deceptive nature of the analogy between a civil Pud a military conflict, which our neighbor, taking pen, far mightier than the sword, in hand> and fancying himself at the head of the Regimont charging "contrabands," instead of writing for negree voters, seems total ly to forgot. The fight with negrot voters, we assure our military friend, is a tougher fight than any our Con federate troops ever had with the Moontrabahds." A bullet wifl pirnce a negro's skull, far sooner than the policy of the Plhenix will convince his reason. Foersuasion and force are things so different, thalt a statesman is required for the one, while a sol. dier is qite enough for the ether. Th~e truth jis, we see clearly that our views are not in acoord with those of a large portion of the whiite people of the State. We have not attempted to deceive them, or tc conceal our opinions. It would be best for this State, we believe, for many year. to come, to be in accord with the administration, If a respeeta. ble set of men can be found to accom. plish that harmony which would be so promotive of prosperity and progrees This is the real dillioulty, that we have been outspoken ; but some of our friends wish to rescue us from er ror. To such we say : Gentlemen, thank you ; but, why not let every man think and speak, if he chooses, in his own way ? We know, we will not convince you. But we, and such as we, will give you] o.tter gover nment, un. il the forces of nature prevail, the white element predominates, and the top rail rises from the bottom-and we may add-be cured for doing so.

The American Stock Journal in reference to the subject says : "Now, we can go into a dairying neighborhood, and point to farmers who are losing from two to the thousand dollars a year by keeping cows yielding two hundred pounds of butter per year, instead of those that would yield from five to six hundred pounds in the same time. How many dairymen can tell tike relative value of each cow of his herd by actual test? There is a little instrumentfor this pur pose that don't cost much,'but a very few d airymen know anything about it. It is called a "Lactometer," con structed by placing i number of glass tubes, of equal length and diameter, in a wooden frame. The milk from each cow is placed in some of these glass tubes ; there they stand side by side, and you can see the depth of cream that rises in each tube, repre senting a certain cow, and estimate her value thereby. These instru ments are kept for sale in Pbiladel phia and other cities." Might not our farmers profit by the above item ? Cutre for Small-Pox and Scar let Fever.

The Wilcox, Gibb.i& Co.'s Manipula ted Guano more reliable than any other nianure. year the Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.'s Ma nipulated Guano is my choice, from Lthe fact that it is more applicable to any and all kinds of land than any other 1 know. Some of my necighbhors have used pur-o Peruvian, some Solu ble Pacilic, and various others-,. They tell me that nine surpastes theirs. I believe the Peruvian is better than any other whe~re the land is lowv and moist, but to take land generally that. is rich or poor, moist or thirsty, stiff' or loose, all together, the Manipulated is more reliable than any other I know. I am confident the manner of applying the manure is to put it deep, especially on thirsty land, and I be lieve 400 lbs. to the acre is the euan tity--less, I know, will pay, as I have tests of it, but 400 lbs. pays better. According to the seasons and chances generally of my cotton up to this Lime, I do not believe better cotton could be made to grow on the land where I have used the Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.'s Manipulated Guano.
