A New York mathematician has figured up
the extent-of the-business which was done in gold
in that city oo Friday, the 24 th of September.- The
sales amounted to $500,000,000, ana allowing .sixteen
dollars to an ounce, and sixteen ounces to the
pound, aqd two thousand pounds to the ton, and
one ton to each cart, it Would require a thousand
carts to move it; and allowing twenty feet'flo each
horse and cart, the string of carts would be about
eight miles long. But the gold was not really
bought and sold, for the gamblers never, intended
to deliver, a dollar,of it They were only betting
on the price. " . - t '
?7-The material^ growth of the South during,
the last four years, is strikingly shown by the editorials
iu some of the Southern papers. The official
figures at the department in Washington esti
mate that the cotton cropiof the Southern States
this year will he worth $24GvtXX},000, .while the to-,
tal value of the exports of the South ia set down
"at 1328,500,000. At this rate the value of South
eru products is about ?31.32 per hea<J fop the entire
Southern population. These figures go to show
that the" South is even now the. richest section of
the country. *- ' ~ ;
The cultivation df cotton in the East Indies,
it is asserted, has become more popular atnong the
natives, who have discovered that it is more profitable
to grow cotton at twenty cents a pound,
than to raise the millet grain fqr ooDsuinptioo at
hornet The cotton exported from India in 1860
amounted iu value to $27,500;000; but the orops
for 1869, it is estimated, will bring $100,749jl25.
The East Indian cotton is short staple and decidedly
inferior to that grown in the 'United States; but
greater care in cultivation .baa been ezereised, and
more attention paid to packing the-bales without

?- The following is a description of a unique
marriage ceremony which took place not long ago
near Utica, K. Y.; "As the parties to be married
entered the parlor, arm in arm, the clergyman met
them midway in the room, when the bridegroom,
taking the right hand of the 'bride, said:" 'We
have promised to honor and protect each other so
long as we live. We intend bow to be united, and
hereafter to live together as husband and wife; and
we have invited you to be present this evening to
sanction our union according to the ^requirements
of custom and the laws.'. The clergyman in reply,
said'By the authority I possess as a clergyman!
and h) the presence of these witnesses, I hereby'
(laying on lis Karids) *recognize you as husband
ana wife, in fulfilment of your promises.' Prayer
followed, aodtbe oatomooy was ended.'^

COTTON SEED CAKE. ' / '/ se
We publish a supplement 'this week, to whidh m
Wte drtireto call special attention, in reference to ~
th'e value and nses of cotton seed cake. An article
from the pen of Dr. Jos. Le Conte, late Professor
of Chemistry in the University of South ?
Ca/olina, testifies to its value as a manure, and as
provender.' An extract from the Missouri Demo- ^
crat "corroborates Dr. Le Cbnfe'a estimates, and as
the two together afford a reasonable inducement ^
for planters to look into the matter. This inducemen?
becomes mpch stronger, when it is remem. n
feerscl -that corn is likely to reach $2,00 per bushel w
bpfere Spring./ Under these circumstances it'be- 1:1
oomes a matter of vital importance to secure a ^
cheaper food for stocky if possible. , ,. *
! The Columbia Oil Company proposes to do this, .
by extracting the. oil from the planter's cotton seed lB
oo shares.. It proposes to pay thirty centra hun- Ul
dred in cash and thirty-three pounds of oil-oake 01
meal for every hundred weight of cotton seed, if tc
shipped from any poipt within one hundred miles fJ
of Columbia. The freight, op the raw seed to ir
Columbia, will he paid by the company, and the w
planter pays the freight only on what meal begets ^
back, together with the prica.of the bags to hold t?
iti/ The . proposition certainly looks ihir, and we u
invite planters to examine it, as it may pay them ^
well to take it up. < ^ )S

THE SOUTHERN TRADE^^ S
r The.UIew York TWJuneconoedes that the South- h
em trade has been the salvation of New York tbis A
Fall, and that the great increase of Southern basi- ti
ness has given the Fall trade of 1869 a soundness it
unknown si nee the war.
It is a singular fact that the prosperity of the ft
South always tends to buildup the cities of the P
North rather than herown cities. This may be in P
part aoooonted for by the larger capital owned at b;
the North, which has a powerful influence in directing
tbevsourse of trade. But there are other
?^nmnnn nrlifAli to flin
CSUBOtt 91 tTUlE) ^/ruuiiti^m ouivu^ nuivu *9 ?uv
neglect, of Southern cities to use all the means in C
their reiteh for increasing (heir business. In order
to compete successfully with the heavy dealers of 81
the North, Southern merchants must furnish goods *
as Wils their rivals. This cannot he done, so ^
long as the goods of Southern dealers must first 01
come through Northern hands. Direct trade with ^
the manufacturers of Europe and America is the 01
first, step to be taken, and it should be speedily fol- w
lowed hy combinations of capital. Several weak ?*
firms, by consolidating their means, can form a solid a
house, able to purchase heavily and so be on equal f
terms with the Northern lords of the markets. "
And when all this is done, let the people knew, "
through the press, that Southern firms have heavy w
stocks suited to the Southern markets. a
There i? no reason why Oharieston sbonld not
supply (he whole State, and others, too, if her 01
merchants are willing to use the same means which n
have built up New York, Philadelphia and Balti- P
ntfdre." > " " ' lc

-THE COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
The National Commercial Convention met at a
Louisville, Ky;, *on the 12th instant, with a^11 o]
attendance of delegates from all parts of the Union. B
Ex-President Fillmore was elected President He b,
made a brief speech, of which the following is a a:
telegraphic report: tl
"I assure you nothing has been so gratifying to F
me as this convention. The war is ended, with *
its logical events. Questions have been settled, I p
trust, Dever to disturb us again. I have a veneration
for the constitution of the United States. I 01
believe it to be the best organic law that has ever c'
been framed. You know when I occupied the
presidential chair, the fugitive slave law was pass- tl
ed. I freely confess it was against my feelings. jT
I examined ifrbarefdlly, but found no defect in it. ,
It was constitutional, and although I knew when I i

friendly, You can do that, and I will but have to j>

party, but the objects of the convention will be
exausively cbnfined to the object for which it has
been called. I hope the gentlemen. of the press ?
will not report the desultory remarks I have to o
make. I come entirely unprepared."
Direct trade between the South and Enfopewas tt
one of the prominent schemes before the Conven- d
tion. Its discussion developed some jealousy be- c<
tween Norfolk, Va., and more Southern ports, a
Norfolk seemed to bo the choice of the Conven- b
tibii, for the reason that it is likely to be the At- p
lantic tertoihas of the Southern Pacific railroad, tl
which' is another favorite project. Resolutions it
were offered, favoring the establishment of steam
and packet lines from various ports in Europe to le

parallel to Arkansas. The Convention adoptd

on Taxation, which was adopted, favored

THE NOKTHEKN KliCDXluns.
The Democratic party has been defeated in all
iie States in which elections were held on the 12th
istant Indiana and Iowa went Republican by
leir usual heavy majorities. Ohio elected Hayes,
Republican, for Governor by a supposed majority
f 10,000 oyer Hon. Geo. Q. Pendleton, the. Dem:
cratic candidate. The Legislature elected is supoaed
to be Democratic- by a trifling, majorityr
oough, however, to render the defeat of the fif>enth,
or universal suffrage amendment, extrame'
probable. Pennsylvania reflected the present
-epublican Governor, Geary, over Packer, Demorat,
by three or four thousand majority. The
significance of these elections ianot great;
ut saeh.as it is, it indicates that the four States
amed will cast all their influence for the Republim
party. The diminished majorities in Peunsyluiia
and Ohio can be easily recovered by that
irty, whenever oocasion requires. We had halfay
looked for a different result, in consequence of
hat we saw in Northern Democratic papers. But
it expectations were not high,' as we have been
?eived before. We were folly prepared for a
jfeat, and we now draw consolation from an old
roverb of Dow, Jr. It is in these words : "Btead
are they that expect nothing; for they shall
5ver be disappointed." '
DAVIDSON'S SOUTH CAROLINA.
We have received from Messrs. Duffle & Chapan,
Columbia, a copy of Davidson's School His<ry
of South Carolina. As its title indicates,
ris is a history of South Carolina, intended for use
i a'text book in schools. The author is James
food Davidson, and we feel that this statement
one is sufficient guarantee for the historical aocnicy
of the work. Mr. Davidson is well known as a
riter who pays the strictest attention to thtf exact
uthof his statements. We are glad to see & histor
of South Carolina from such a source,'and trust
lat it will come into general use as a text book in
le schools of the State. WhOe the stodyofhistqry
i general has been made a prominent part of edition,
that of our own State has' been passed
per as a matter of minor importance. It appears
> us that this is a mistaken system; that the histor
of a pupil's own ?tate ought to possess as much
iterest and practical value as that of any other
>mer of the globe. It may be that this branch of
istory was slighted because there were.no suitable
ut books on the subject. This objection can be
rged no longer; for Mr. Davidson has arranged
is facts in a very, convenient form for fixfng tfvsm
^the minds of the pupils. It is a compact state
lent of the leading events in the history; of .the
tate, from its first settlement to the year 18f>9,
andsomely illustrated with numerous engravings.
lS such, we cordially recommend it to the attenon
of school teaoheraand others interestedin the
etruction of our youth. :? :? K

He also expressed an earnest desire for quiet

He fears that some of th e fecal politicians of'Mississippi
will attempt to drag -him into politics by
seeking his advice; but he will repel all such attempts,
without regard to the consequence of unfriendly
criticism from his old friends. He studiously

Lostes of the Confederate Armies.
-?- Dr. Joseph Jones, Secretary of the Southern
Historical Society, has, from all the sources
accessible to . him,, made out a table of losses'sustained
by the Confederate armies during the war.
The results of his investigations are as follows,: .
The entire, available force put into the field .by
the. Confederacy during the par was 600,000 men;
of whom not more'than 400,000; were enrolled at
any one firae.' Of thiq number, 200?QOO died, of
wounds and diseases and in bettle ; 200,000 were
taken prisoner, and in consequence of . Mr. Lincoln's
non-exoiUnge jKdicy, were lost to the^ervice
_;, and. 100, OQO.wer6.!^ to the army by discharges,
disabilities and desertion. . By these
causes the Confederate armies were deprived of
fiviwixtbfcjofi their strength, so that at the dose of
1 . -
the WAr?vtot K)0?0UU men remaraeu air aciaai service.
Geo. 8. Coope#,iAdjitant general CL8. A.;
confirms the accuracy of these estimates, and adds
that of the 300,000 men on the muster rolls at the
close of the war, not more than 50,000'were actually
in the field. When it is remembered-tlmf the
North had amtfirodof men under arms when Lee
and Johnston surrendered, it is not diflkmlt to fiud
a cause for the defeat of the South, without attributing
it-to at# eitrdordtoary generalship on the
part of Grant ahd>Sbertimn, oi' any miraculous
display of valor by their soldiers;

Chase of a Cnban War steamer.
We find in our exchanges the following interesting
account of threhasO of the steamer Lilianr
feoppoeed to be a Cuban privateer, by the U.
S. steamer Lone Star. The port from which the
vessels sailed was New Orleans.
The Lotte Star left this port on Monday morning
at daylight, with the officers and Crew of the Delaware.
Whether she had anyarmament or not, besides
small arms, we; are not informed. She proceeded
to Cedar Keys, and when she arrived there
the bird bad flown Jove hours previous. The Lone
Star fidlowed'in chase until night, when'she gave
it ufi; and jettfthed tiy Cedar Keys, taking possession
Of a sihitt lot of fixed ammunition, knapsacks,
canteens, etc.,-which were left by the Lillian for
want of time. The Lone Star reports that when
the ohaap was piven up that theyeaw a three-smoke

be the Spanish steamprChuruoo.
The Lilian Was in 'command of Captain Harris,
who is an old Confederate bloekade runner. She

J. L. Addison was then called upon to be sworn,
and to answer whether or not(;hn.had. written the
article. Mr. Addison did not refuse to he sworn,
but declined to apswer the question! His was suspended
. from the roll of attorneys during the
pleasure of the Court, or until re-instated by oomEetent
authority. Messrs. Gary & Gary ana But-,
r & Younmns were counsel for Mr. J. L Addison:
Mr* John E. Bacon was aoonsel for Mr. >H. W.
Addison. These attorneys eodeavowd io.convioce
the Court that the piooeedings were irregular amid
improper. \ .. ' . . "
' Judge Piatt exhibited'much. feeling and anger,
and would not hear counsel, but -peremptorily
ordered-counsel to be setted, as he desired no suggestions
or information from the members of the

Judge stvling him a "colored attorney,'"wpd to
request that his name be withdrawn from ati connection
with the charges, He waS orderpd to "ait

We di) not pretend'to be "learned in the law,"
and yet we doicnew that no one can be called upon,
on oath,r to oraninate himself. This action on
the part of Judge Plait is a flagrant abuse of; his
power aa-a Judge, and calls forth. the indignation
and censure of every good- citizen, Judge Piatt
finally, at the suggestion of counsel, agreed to suspend
the ordpr until Wednesday/i/i order/that
counsel might be heard. J" *Ort
Monday afternoon, diowevel/ Judgd 'Piatt
withdrew his order,, and sowed- forgiveness broadcast.
statin? that he-bad never intended to enforce
these orders, but simply desired to ventilate the
foot that he would notice a contempt of-court from
any person. And withdrawing these orders is the
wisest thing he has done this court. Thus the little
