A member from Charleston offered the following : Resolved, That the Secretary be insruc ted to publish for the information of the public, the communication submitted to this Committee by her British Majesty's Consul, Mr. H. Pinckney Walker, and that the Committee respectfully commend the subject of the "Workmen's Interna? tional Exhibition," therein referred to, to the consideration of the State. ' Resolved, That the details of the loca1 organization, which the projectors of the exhibition invite, be referreds to the So? ciety at its meeting in November next Tiie communication is as follows: British Consulate, Shableston, July 12, 1869. Wm. M. Lawton, Vice President South Carolina Agricultural and? Mechanical Society. Sib : Hearing that you are about to at? tend a meeting of the South Carolina Stote Agricultural and Mechanical Socie? ty, to be held in Columbia, on the 14th instant, I hasten to place, in. your hands a copy of the programme- wlwoh has boon issued by the Honary Secretaries to tho "Workmen's International Exhibition," to be held at London in 1870. I have the honor, also, to enclose a copy of a letter addressed by the Secretaries to the Earl of Clarendon, where in the views of the Committee having the matter in charge are more fully set forth. It is desired, you will perceive, that local committees should be formed in cities and places io other countries to call attention to tho subject in view, and to make arragement for the transmission of such articles of skill and ingenuity as may be deemed worthy of exhibition. I indulge the hope that you will do mo the favor oi presen? ting, these papers to your Society, in or? der-that the objects of the Committee of the "Workmen's International Exhibi? tion," of 1870, may, aided and encouraged by the South Carolina State Agricultural and Mechanical Society and by its local committees already existing throughout the State, obtain general publicity It will, on the other hand, be my pleas? ure and duty to foward to the Committee carrying out the program mo of the "Workmen's International Exhibition," of 1870, such communication, connected with the objects they have in view as may be placed in .my hands for that purpose. And also to receive suggestions as to tho names ef parties in this State who may be ready to give assistance in furtherance of the design. I have the honor to be, sir, your most obedient and humble ser? vant. H. Pinckney Walker. H. M. Consul. The following resolution was adopted : Resolved, That as the question of Chi? nese !a Dor has been occupying the atten? tion of Southern planters since the ad? journment of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Convention, that this Execu t*^ Committee through its Chairman, ap? point three citizens asaconxmittee to col? lect all the necessary information and cost of introducing that description of labor into South Carolina, and to report to the next regular meeting of the Society. Accompanying this synopsis is the re Sirt of the committee appointed at tho ay meeting of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society to examine the Sorghum Syrup and Sugar Works at Greenville G. H., which was received and ordered to be published: Gensral Johnson Hagood, President South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society : The Committee appointed to visit and report upon the Sorghum Works of Dr. W. P. Passmore, located at Greenville, S. C, beg leave to submit the following re? port: Four of your committee visited the works soon after their appointment, and witnessed the process of' refining syrup. For the purpose of testing the merits of the process, which is known as th? "Southern nrocess," Colonel Aiken, one of'the committee, furnished a barrel of sorghum syrup of his own manufacture, of ordinary quality, which was refined by this process, and the quality of the syrup ?wary greatly improved We found in the sugar-house of Dr. P. a-quantity of mush sugar, which he in? formed us, had been made by a gentleman of Louisville, Ky., by this process, from the juice of the black impheo. A small quantity of this mush sugar was conver? ted, in a few minutes, into a boautiful ll^ht sugar, by the use of a centrifugal mill. In order to satisfy ourselves as to the history of this mush sugar, we wrote to.Colonel S. F. Jolly, of Mason County, Ky., from whom the same was said to have: been obtained. His reply to our letter is hercwiLh. submitted as a part of our report For the purpose of refining sorghum syrups, your committee are satisfied that "iL? Southern process is tho best of which thoy. have any knowledge; and if sugar can be successfully manufactured from tho sorghum cano, then the cultivation of tho cane, and ?ho manufacture of sugar by this process, will prove highly remu? nerative to tho Southern planter. Even should it be found impracticabio to manu? facture sugar from sorghum, still thia process will be highly valuable for the purpose of refining Byrups. From the information before your com? mittee, thoy have no hesitation in recom? mending the Southern process for refin? ing syrups to the favorable consideration of the planters of the State. This report has been delayed by tho desire of the committee to obtain all the information possible upon the subject, and especially in the dolay of Colonel Jolly's reply to the letter. All of which is respectfully submitted. James P. Moore, T. Q. Donaldson, Leonard Williams, B. Z. Herndon, D. Wtatt Aiken. Dover, Ey., June 14,1869. James P. Moore, Esq., Greenville, S. C. Sir : Yours of the 4th instant only is to hand. Touching one barrel of sorghum mnsh sugar, shipped South to W. P. Pa8smore, allow mo to say, it was raised from the black imphee or African variety of seed, planted 1st of May, 1868, har? vested last of September, and while the seed was yet in the milk; manufactured by the Weiler & Hatcher process, and made about two months previous to being sent forward. Crystalization was secur? ed by being properly made upon the Weiler & Hatcher process, which set in from five to ten days after being made in? to syrup, and was in a high state of gran? ulation when barreled and shipped, I should think from six to seven pounds to the gallon. Yery truly, yours, Samuel F. Jolly. The Hon. John C. Breckenridge, of Kentucky, was elected the orator for the approaching fair. Information was received that tlmCity Council of Columbia would furniro the grounds and necessary buildings for the first annual fair. The Chairman appointed Messrs. W. M. Lawton, Wm. Wallace and M. L. Bonbam as the Committee on Chinese Immigration. D. Wyatt Aiken, Secretary S. C. A. and M. Society. The Flaw Hunters.?There are peo? ple who have a preternatural faculty for detecting evil,.or the appearance of evil, in every man's character. They have a fatal scent for carrion. Their memory is like a museum I once saw at a medical college, and illustrates all the hideous dis? tortions, and monstrous growths, and re? volting diseases by which humanity can be troubled or afflicted. They think they have a wonderful knowledge of human nature. But it is a* blunder to mintake the Newgate Calender for a biographical dictionary. A less offensive type of the same ten? dency leads some people to find apparent satisfaction in tho discovery and procla? mation of the slightest defects in the habits of good men, and the conduct of public institutions.. They cannot talk about tho benefit! confered by a great hospital without lamenting some insig? nificant blot in its laws, and some thrill? ing want of prudence in its management Speak to them about a man whose works everybody is admiring, and they cool your ardor by regretting that he is so rough in his manner or so smooth?that his temper is so hasty, or that he is so fond of applause. They seem to hold a brief, requiring tbom to prove tho im? possibility of human perfection. Thoy detect the slightest alloy in the puro gold of human goodness. That there are upots in the sun is, with them, something more than an observed fact?it takes rank with a priori and necessary truths. There are poople who, if they hear an organ, find out at once which are the poorest stops. If they listen to a great speaker, they remember nothing but some slip in the construction of a son ten ce, the consistency of a metaphor, or the evolutions of an argument. While their friends are admiring the wealth and beauty of a tree whose branches are weighed down with fruit, they have dis ,covered a solitary bough, lost in the gold? en affluencCj.on which nothing is hanging. Poor Hazlitt was sorely troubled with them in his time. "Littleness," he said, "is their element, and they give a charac? ter of meaning to whatever they touch. They creep, buzz and fly-blow. It is much easier to crush than to catch .heso troublesome insects-; and when they are in your power, your sell-respect spares them."? Good Words: Against War.?Vice President Coifax thus concisely ventilates the horrors of war: War drains the blood from the nation. War exhausts the resources of a republic, an empire, or kingdom. War carries an? guish and desolation into housebolds throughout the land. War piles up deb t and taxes upon the shoulders of the peo? ple; and although there may be glory, as there is in the heroism of tho battle-field, unless in a sacred cause, like that for the preservation of national existence or for the redress of wrong that can in no other way be redressed, there ia no justification for war in a great republic like ours. It is this, my frionds, I say to you, in antagonist to the military spirit which has been fostered to some extent in the great trial of the nation in its warfare against rebellion?it is this which is tho danger to a ropublio like ours. With peace at home> with concord restored in all branches and sections of our Union, I we shall go forward with tho stately step pings of a giant to that culminating point where wo shall stand peerless among tho nations of the world. ? Thero was an old bummer in the revolutionary war, who used to entertain his friends with marvelous accounts of his exploits, ono of which, he said, awakened such admiration in the mind of Washing? ton, that the illustrious patriot rushed forward-, and throwing his arms around his nock and affectionately embracing him, exclaimed, "Don't call me general! call mo Georgo I" ?Why is a married man iiko a candlo ? Because he sometimes goes out at night when he ought not to. The Unity of the Brotherhood.?The following incident, illustrating the Mason? ic Brotherhood, wo extract irom an ora? tion delivered by Brother Thomas E. Gar? ret, at the recent opening of the new hall in St. Louis: Much is said and surmhied about the peculiar Bature of our ties of brother? hood, which, to the world, appear so mys torious, so enduring and so strong. To many their universality and bidning force arc inconceivable. They cannot be fully explained except within the secret recess? es of the lodge ; but I may be permitted to give a simple illustration of the true spirit of Masonic Brotherhood, which came under ray personal- notice not very long ago. Two men had been fast friends. In an evil hour they quarrelled, and from violent words they came to daggers' points, but used no daggers. They did not speak, and- had not Bpokon together for years. Mutual friends had tried the arts of reconstruction in vai n. They were avowed enemies for life. The whole difficulty was purely person? al, and the honor of neither was impeach? ed either by the origin of the quarrel, or subsequent circumstances. Probably they were equally to blame; possibly not. No matter. One of them became a Ma? son after the estrangement, and it hap? pened tho other remained ignorant of this fact. One evening, he, too, was admitted into a lodge. Almost the first voice he heard, and certainly the first face he saw, was that of his enemy, who presided over the ceremonies of initiation, and was obliged, according to usage, to address him by the title of "brother." This was a most peculiar situation, and a severe or? deal for both. After the lodge was closed, the appren? tice sought the master, and without any preliminaries, the following colloquy en? sued, commenced by the newly-made mason: "Are you a member of this lodge ?" The reply was, UI am." "Were you present when I waB elec? ted r "I was." "May I ask if you voted?" "I did." "How, will you tell me how many votes it requires to reject, in a ballot for admis? sion ?" The Master answered, "One." There was no moro to say. The initi? ate extended his hand, which was warm? ly grasped by the other, and uttered with thrilling accents, deep emotion thrilling in his voice: "Friend! Brother! Yoa have taught me a lesson I shall never forgot." This is a little ray of Masonic light. No language is so eloqucn ; as the silent throbbing of a heart full of joyful tears. Where this kind of cement is used in our moral edifice, should it not be enduring ? Who can wonder that it ie so strong? A Sad Romance.?The New Orleans Picayune says: Some years since the daughter of Prince Henry of Eeuss Greiz, a small German .principality in the middle of Germany, 'became deeply attached to a young sub? altern who commanded tho annual con? tingent furnished the army of the King of Prussia. Of course, all thought of marrying him with tho consent of tho Prince was out of the question; but it was arranged that the young lieutenant should resign his position in the army, ,and together they would escape to the United States. Embarking at Antwerp, they came to New York and were mar? ried thore. But being young and with? out experience in> tho ways of the world, their little moans wero soon exhausted, and they found themselves* in a strange land, friendless and in poverty. They were afraid to communicate with any of their countrymen, lest the circum? stances of their flight should become known, and themselves arrested. Unac? quainted with our laws,- and supposing that the authority of their petty prince was as potent here as among the train fields of their native land, they sought obscurity and shrunk fron their names and station being blazoned abroad. At last, pushed to the extreme of poverty, the husband, who was an excellent musi? cian, obtained a situation in the orchestra at Niblo's Garden, but, learning that in I quiries had been made by the Prussian Consul of their presence in tho city, he I threw up his engagement and came South, and in tho summer of 1867 fell a victim to the yellow fever. His wifo was now loft alone, and, reducod to the extreme vorge of poverty, applied and obtained a situation in a beor saloon in this city, where she now is. It is a strange episode in real life, but a true one, and exhibits, as no moralist could describe, tho vicissitudes of fortune. She is now, perhaps, twenty-five years of age; small in stature, with an elegant symmetrical figure, and face decidedly pretty,. Her face is shaded with light brown curls, and her manners and con? versation evince one accustomed to good society. She displays a good deal of reluc? tance in talking to strangers, but once interested in conversation she becomes animated and engaging. She- seems to feol her questionable position very sensi? bly, and the slightest allusion as to what she was. and is now, is sufficient to pro? voke her to tears. Sad Occurrence.?Mias Isadore Pike, the younger daughter of General Albert Pike, was found dead in her bed yestor day morning. Being afflicted with ner? vous headache, at the time of retiring, she took with hor a vial of chloroform, and it is supposed whilo employing it as an anesthetic, sho became unconscious, and tho Stoppel being removed and the bed or pillow saturated with the subtle fluid,her pure and beautiful spirit passed to the eternal hereafter without a pang. She was adornod with all the accomplishments that mako woman lovely. We cannot moasuro the pang that this sudden be? reavement will bringt? ihose whose idol she was; and we feeL that human sympa? thy is powerless to-even for a moment as? suage tho grief produced in thoir hearts bv this melancholy dispensation.?Mem? phis Avalanche. ?-* Joeh Billings says, "1 am violently op? posed to ardent spirits as a beverage, but for manufacturing purposes, I think a lit tlo of it tastes good." ? "A prudent man," says a witty Frenchman, "is like a pin. His head pro vents him from going too far." i Reviving Drowning Persons.?If the drowned person be a politician, whisper in his ear that he has jnst been appointed to a fat office. If a married woman, softly tell her that her husband is with that woman she hates. Jf it be a young man, toll him confiden? tially that another fellow is after hifl sweetheart. If a married man, slyly tell him that a handsome young lady called yesterday, and is to call again to day at his office on important private business. If he is a carpet-bagger, let him drow n ? It is notable that a Democratic par? ty has existed in this country since the close of the revolutionary war; and the Springfield Republican thinks it worthy of the serious consideration of Republi? cans, that the opposition to the party has changed its name, its principles, and its leaders about every eigtheen years since our independence -vas achieved?which will, ore long, be about the existence of the Republican party. ? A home missionary was asked the cause of his poverty. "Principally," said he, with a twinkle of the eye, "because I have preached so much without notes." ? A gentleman, complaining of the various imposts and taxes, says he cannot put on his boots in the morning without a stamp. ? "I wish you would not give me so much short weight for my money," said a customer to a grocer, who had an out? standing bill against him. "And I wish you wouldn't give me such long wait for mine," replied the grocer. ? A gentleman who was rather impa? tient at a table, declared he wished he could manage without servants. "Why not have a dumb waiter?" suggested a friend. "Because" returned the other. "I have tried them?they don't answer. ? Anna Dickinson, the other evening, gave us the following comforting assu? ring: "Politics to day mean an indecent scramble for office, whero every man is for himself, and the devil take the hindmost. As for the foremost, they are already safe in his fiande-." ? A man came into a printing office to bog. a paper. "Because," he said, "we like to read'the nowspapers very much, but our neighbors are all too stingy to take one." "Won't that boa constrictor bite me ?" said a little urchin to a showman. "Oh, no! boy, ho never bites, ho swallers his wittles whole." ?
