The low state of the Missouri river has beetl turned to good account. The people turn out and dig the bottom of the river for valuables lost by the wreck of steamboats. In one locality large amounts of canned meats, fruits and oysters, as well as bottles of wine, have been found. The estimates for the"next fiscal vear, as sent in by the variousdepartmeuts at Washington, are: War, $62,000,000; navy, $47,000,000; civil list, $51,000,000; pensions, $20,000,000; bounty, $25,000,000; Indian and miscellaneous, $20,000,000.

An oyster's heart, it is said, beats perceptibly half an hour after it is swallowed, all of which it is very pleasant to know. It is noted in the Virginia Convention that Hanover County, the birthplace of Clay and Henry ; Orange, the birthplace of Madison and Zack.

At Athens, Georgia, on Tuesday night of last week, a mob of about fifty armed negroes threatened, to attack the students of the Georgia University. The students armed in turn, ana a difficulty was imminent, but troops were ordered out and they dispersed the negroes. Nat. Frazier, one of the Pickens murderers, was hung in that District, on Friday of last week. He confessed to having killed young Hunnicutt by mistake. The terms of five of his convicted accomplices have been changed from five years in the penitentiary to two years. The single State of North Carolina now pays annualDy more taxes to the General Government than the entire amount Great Britain proposed to levy on the Colonies, which attempt produced the war which made the then American Colonies free and independent States. Navigation is announced from all quarters as closing. The New York canals are frozen ; the Welland canal stopped. The rivers of Maine, the Connecticut River, the upper Mississippi and the upper part of the Hudson are also frozen over, wnilst several harbors to the eastward are already closed by ice. At a meeting of the London Medical Society, Dr. Blake, a distinguished practitioner, said tuat he was able to cure the most desperate case of tooth-ache, unless the disease is connected with rheumatism, by the application of the following remedy: "Alum, reduced to an impalpable powder, two drachms; nitrous spirits of etber, seven drachms; mix and apply to the tooth." ?? It is said that one of the quickest ways of making a fortune is to marry a fashionable young lady and sell her clothes. The principal objection T?ww<vtiTifr w thai-, flip seller mieht also be sold in the transaction. We think, however, that there is little question that the quickest way of spending a fortune would be to marry a fasliiouable young lady, and buy her clothes. The experiment has been tried frequently, with the same result. A dispatch from Atlanta, Ga., dated the 14th, says: "In apparent defiance, of the relief ordinance adopted Thursday last by the Convention, the sheriff levied here to-day on a store, and closed it. Gen. Pope was appealed to, and replied that he could not intervene?the ordinance merely saying levies shall be suspended, but not preventing their being made. This construction is sustained by the bar, and under it the ordinance: defeats its own end." ?- There is a company of Arabian jugglers per-' forming in London, whose feats excel anything achieved bv any of the many Oriental wonderworkers who have visited this country. These performers appear to take their eyes out, balance themselves upright on a naked sword, eat stones, nails, glass, &&, cactus leaves and fire, run sharp instruments like iron skewers through the tongue, charm and devour serpents, and perform like revolting but most surprising and inexplicable feats. The Huntsville (Ala.,) Indqwudcnt says that a large portion of tne cotton now in the fields will not be gathered, because of the inability of the planters to get laborers. There are hundreds of able bodied negro men in the county and about town, who utterly refuse to do any regular work, contented to cultivate a little truck patch, and to do trifling jobs about the streets, simply to supply their necessary wants of food. And the few that pretend to work do not do half the work they did in former times. Tea has the power to subdue irritability, refresh the spirits, and renew the energies, suclt as is possessed by no other agent. When the system of man is exhausted by labor or study, a cup of tea reinvigorates and restores as no other form of food or beverage can.

The young do not need it; and it is worthy of note that they do not crave or like it Children will frequently ask for coffee, but seldom for tea. To aged people, whose powers of digestion and whose bodily substance have begun to fail together, it is almost a necessity. The Militaiy Commission which has been in session for some time at Columbia, engaged in the trial of parties concerned in robbing the South Carolina Railroad on the Sth November, 1866, have recently rendered a decision in the case of E. Carter Harris, white. Harris, it will be remembered, was charged with complicity in tearing up the track near Columbia, and investigating that case the facts concerning the robbery were elicited. The evidence was clear, and the Commission sentenced Harris to one year's hard labor at Fort Macon, North Carolina.?Charleston Neict. The Ashville (N. C.) News says: "A few weeks ago. a jparty of gentlemen in Haywood county killed eight Bears in one day's hunt A lady and her son discovered five of these shaggy monsters committing havoc in the cornfield, and starting the dog for them, he drove them into a tree. It was late in the evening, and certain aim could not be taken, so the lady built a fire beneath the tree, and kept her ceaseless vigils until morning. The son then killed two, but the other three escaped. These auinials are becoming very troublesome and destructive in the corn fields and among the swine. There is no "mast" in the mountains this Fall, and hunger drives Bruin to the settlements for food." It mav surprise many to learn, what is nevertheless a fact, that fulllv one-third of the whole amount of sugar consumed in the world is manufactured from beets; and not only so, but immense quantities of raw beet sugar are imported in England for their refineries, competing very successfully with the cane sugar from their own colonies.? While the.soil needed by the sugar beets is very different from the grape-growing soil, the required climate is identical. Much money has been sunk iu abortive attempts to raise it in the _ moist air of the British Islands. But in California it finds a congenial home, and already San Francisco refines over 12,000 tons of raw sugar yearly, with a present capacity in her four refineries to greatly enlarge the production. ihe fJotMle inquirer. editors: JAS.

"We have again arrived at the annual transition period, for which we are indebted to the "march of freedom." The contracts of frcedinen for this year are nearly out, and of course a general transmigration is the result; for the almost universal rule is, that a free American citizen must change his base once a year. A new home and new scenes of labor, with an interval of three or four weeks for rest, have wondrous charms for the toil-worn sons of Africa. It is, however, greatly to the interest of the community that this transition period should be abbreviated as much as possible. Vagrancy is a jgreat evil, and the sooner the fieedmcn become fettled in their homes for next year, the better it will be for them, and indeed for the whole community. We would, therefore, suggest to our farmers the propriety of making contracts for 1868 at an early a day as possible. The number of freedmen who have made no arrangements yet is large. These freedmcn are, in a manner, on the public until they contract, and being without homes, they are liable to get themselves into mischief. The fact that the Convention will probably meet next month, and that many of this class have very extravagant notions about what it is going to do for them, is another consideration in favor of early contracts. The presence, in the District, of a number of these persons who have nothing to do but hold political meetings, is a curse from which we have thus far been exempt It is hoped that at this time we may enjoy a similar exemption; but the best way to accomplish this end, is to get the freedmen settled in their new homes. THE "CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS." The proprietors of the above popular journal announce, that on and after the first of January, 1868, the Daily will be furnished to subscribers at $6 per year, and the tri-weekly at $3. This will render it the cheapest first-class daily paper in the Southern States, of which wc know anything about The News is a live paper, fully up to the spirit of the age, and an investment of $6 in this way will pay a rousing dividend. Subscriptions left at the Enquirer Office will be promptly forwarded. WHAT IS NEEDED. The press is full of advice to the people of the South, as to the best means of restoring the prosperity of former times. Among other remedies prescribed, are changes in the system of labor, improved modes of culture, greater diversity of crops, increase of population through immigration, &c. These may be very beneficial remedies, doubtless most of them are; but they all come short of ^he desired end; for they all require something else to make theui produce their good fruits. None of them can, of itself and unassisted, bring prosperity to our country. The importation of immigrants and the improvement of our agriculture may increase the yield of our fields; but they will not fill the pockets, or even the mouths, of the population we have already. Many persons talk about "immigrants," as if they thought that useful class of people were coming here 6olely to make money for their employers. This is a mistake. Immigrants, if they come here at all, will come for the purpose of getting homes for themselves, and surrounding themselves with comforts and wealth, unattainable in their native countries. The benefit which the State will derive from their labors, will not at all consist in an increase of wealth to her old citizens. Their earnings will be their own, and not to be divided among the whole population; though at the same time, an influx of industrious immigrants would naturally add to the value of our lands and other property. But the great lack of our country at present, is industrious and energetic young men. While we have plenty of room for immigrants, we have a ?? n?-.>i. nnn.nnvtn/virs in nnr midst VCIy lUl^C UlUljr Vi UVH J/IVWUW/.M ... WW* who might, with proper energy, double our crops every year. What is the use of sending agents throughout Europe to drum up recruits for our population, while so much soil is left idle by the population we have ? If these agents were to travel throughout our State, and use their eloquence in inducing our unemployed young men to "immigrate" into the cornfield with hoes and plows, they would be conferring a greater favor upon the State. The employment of all our people, in some useful and productive branch of industry, is the only scheme that offers a fair promise of restoring our prosperity. The prosperity of a State is comprised in that of individuals. It is because our people arc individually poorer, that the State is now suffering ; and when our people thoroughly comprehend this and make an energetic and continued effort, each for himself, to retrieve their fortunes, State prosperity will return and hard times will disappear. liut this effort has, as yet, been vigorously made by a few only. Our people have "accepted the situation" politically; but many of them have utterly failed to accept the financial situation. Many endeavor to forget how poor they are, and, instead of grappling with their difficulties to overcome them, try to keep up appearances of being pretty well off. This plan may save some labor now; but it will not do to. persist in. We are an impoverished people, and we might as well live in accordance with the facts. Our fortunes are almost universally yet to be made. If wc do nol help ourselves, others will not lielp us. Shall wc go to work in earnest, or shall we sit down and wait for luck ? POLITICAL NEWS. ?

An officer of General Canby's Staff recent]} informed the editor of the Washington Bearing Express, that sufficient election returns have beer received to show that the Convention has been car ried in South Carolina.

Conservative Conventions have been held i Georgia and Virginia, to take some action express ing the dissent of the Southern people from th reconstruction forced upon them by Con gress. A address was prepared by each of these Conver tions. That in Virginia was a monster (jonventioi being composed of nearly 1000 delegates, Th President, Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, made a nobl and manly speech, declaring he preferred militar rule to the despotism of an ignorant rabble, an asserting that the -people represented by the Coi vention would never agree that this shall be anj thiug but a white man's government. The Geoi gia Conservatives selected Hon. B. H. Hill as thei chairman, and a committee comprising some of tb ablest men in the State, as their exponents in pn paring an address to the people of the Unite States. ? The new Constitution prepared for Alabara hv the Reconstruction Convention, is meeting wit opposition from all parties. The Conservative are forming clubs throughout the State, to defei if, and the Union League of Montgomery dengmnc it, as going far beyond its powers in disfranchisin a portion of the most intelligent and law-abidin citizens of Alabama. The prospect for the adoi tion of the new Constitution, is not brilliant. ? THE RECONSTRUCTION CONVENTIONS The Georgia Reconstruction Convention met i Atlanta, in obedience to Gen. Pope's oi-der, on th 9th instant, 108 white and 22 colored delegates b< ing present. Foster Blodgett, a gentleman wh has given bonds to the U.

The Virginia Convention has fixed on $8 pe day as the rate at which its members are to b paid for serving their country. The sums of $ and $7 were respectively voted down by a decide majority. A resolution was offered, calling for committee to inquire into cases of injustice in th administration of the civil courts, since June 1st rsr.* An nmfmdmnnt making it a misdemeanc to discharge an employee for voting as he chooser and an article disfranchising those who have dii charged employees for so voting, were Laid on th table. The convention was addressed by Gevei nors Pierpont, of Virginia, and Smythe, of Nei Hampshire, to whom its thanks were tendered, i resolution, memorializing Congress for the contii uance of the Frecdmen's Bureau, was laid on th table. A petition, praying for a homestead lav was received and referred. The Louisiana Convention has not yet got t work properly, speeches being the order of th day. Cromwell, a negro member, made a wind speech with reference to what the negroes will dt saying he was ready for revolution. Pinchbacl another negro, replied to Cromwell. He said the the negroes cannot getany rights, unless the white see fit to grant them; that talking about a war c races is all humbug, in view of the gi-eat disparit in numbers between them; that the old slaveholc era of the South were, and still are, the best friend of the negro race, &c. On the 12th, a resolutio was offered, that the Convention proceed at one to organize a civil government for Louisiana. 1 was laid over, and ordered to be printed. CONGRESSIONAL.

We under- ] w, stand that Prof. Sachtleben will deliver the lecture lis of the present week, rd About Newspapers. nd As the new year is near, and as that is a good xt time to begin subscriptions for periodicals, v^o pro- ! pose to throw out a few suggestions upon the sub- , jeet We shall say nothing as to sectarian organs; because every churchman is expected to take his ; 1 church paper and no doubt is fully advised all aiaf bout that Nor shall we speak of political or gen- , ' eral-news newspapers; because these go so much ( by party and locality that advice or information can < hardly l)e needed, and would not be followed if i needed. We shull try to confine ourself to liters- , ^ ry, special, and little-known organs. n" Of literary newspapers, we shall mention a few ' v.e both Northern and Southern. eur Whoever wants an able, independent, and elevated weekly literary paper, Southern in every respect, may find it in Southern Society, published ng at 22C West Baltimore Street, Baltimore,* at $4 a j ng year. Or, if he wish a paper in most respects the ; js same as this, hut lighter in tone and more devoted ^ to fiction?something in the style of Bonner's Led- i jg. ger of New York?but Southern and elevated in 1 ,je every respect, he may find what he wants in The iq Southern Home Journal-, published by J. Y. Slayj' ter & Co., 293 West Baltimore Street, Baltimore, at 13 a year. [Ilj # # in_ Whoever wishes the best weekly literary paper ur in New York, will find it in tha Round Tulle, pubng lished at 132 Nassau Street, at $6 a year. Unless ( he prefer the lighter, societal, gossippy, excessive- , ly proper Home Journal of New York, published at $3 a year. The best eclectic weekly in America ,h- is The Week, 132 Nassau Street, New York, $3 a fo. year. 1 We have but two Southern monthly magazines that claim to be purely literary, we believe?Scott's Monthly, Atlanta, Georgia, $5 a year; and The Land We Love, Charlotte, N. C., $3 a year. The characters, respectively, of these journals are generally weil known. ; [B- The Richmond Eclectic is a monthly of superior character in its line. It is to be removed to Baltimore in January, and continued upon the same plan. This is the only Southern Eclectic that we have, and the price is $4 a year. The Eclectic of New York, published by Bidwcll, is au old institution, and is still flourishing. 5 America has two great Quarterlies?one Southern and the other Northern?both of great charac? ters, great ability and uncompromising sectiouality. The one is The Southern Review, published by ? Dr. Bledsoe in Baltimore; and the other is the North American Review, published in Boston, un? der the editorial charge, we believe, of Prof. Lowell These are each to be had for, we believe, $5 a year. m" Those who want a religious newspaper without creed ? one that ignores and deplores creeds, will find The Liberal Christian, now in its twenty n second volume, something to their taste. It is pub^ lished weekly at 82, Nassau Street, New York, at $3 a year.. There are several educational journals published; en but they are mostly in the interests of some pub>d, lisher of schoolbooks, and are all Northern. We in- cannot mention any one as in our opinion superior ps, to all the others. pie Whoever wunts a Southern weekly newspaper srs in German, will find Die. Charlestoner Zcitung, in published by Erckman & Co., of Charleston, at $3 es- a year, a capital paper. Whoever wants to know all about bees, will find rns an excellent little monthly, devoted exclusively to that subject, in the American Bee Journal, publ'-t. lv?? Qrtmunl Wflffnaw WooltmcrfAn H 110UCU \jy UUUiUbi vv irtwiiiiigwai) v>) at $2 a year. It contains twenty pages of doubleon columned octavo. int Whoever wants an able weekly expositor of the ge- Swcdenborgian Doctrines will find the New Jeru3Ty salem Messenger, No. 20, Cooper Union, New York, the best, at $3 a year. The best monthly in that faith is the New Jerusalem Magazine, $3 wn a year, T. H. Carter & Son, Boston, he- Whoever cares to see Phrenology and its cogmt nate subjects aptly presented once a month by one ht, of the ablest phrenologists of the time, may find ' the same in the American Phrenological Journal, |l 389 Broadway, New York, at a cost of $3 a year. n Sportsmen will enjoy and appreciate the New ecfc York Clipper. )si- We consider Halls Journal of Health, New York, monthly, $1.50 a year, as the best popular periodical of its class; and one that every invalid, and every body who desires not to be an invalid, ought to read. Whoever wants all the blood, thunder, smut, h;s crime, and crini-con-stitutionalities generally, will find the National Police Gazette, ot New York, the very thing he wants. The very existence of such a journal is a fearful commentary on Ameriise can morals. >ur If you want the Yorhville Enquirer, send $3.50 to to Yorkville, S. C. ir.
