The cattle plague ia decreasing in England. A line of steamers ia abont to be run between New York and Antwerp. The schooner Percy EeUner, from Philadelphia to Nantucket, has been run into and eunk at sea. Her crew are safe. The brig Mary Jane, from Porto Rico for Balti? more, went ashore ov the North Carolina coast on the 11th inetant. A schooner from the West Indies for Baltimore hu been quarantined at Fortress Monroe, in ac? cordance with the recent military orders. General HABRT J. HATS, late of Stonewall JACKSON'S Corp?, and EWELL'S Division, ie a can? didate for Sheriff in New Orleans. HATS is a pop? lar man, and no doubt will be elected. Col J. WEBLTST GOSS, of Union Distrist, So. Ca., died on the 5th instant at Petersburg, Va. During the late war he was Lieutenant-Colonel of the Palmetto Sharp Shooters. The church, in New Orleans, in which the Methodist Conference is holding its sessions, was ?truok by lightning on Thursday night, during the prevalence of one of tho severest storms which has visited New Orleans. The Raleigh Sentinel, of the 16th, says during the occupation of this city, just one year ago, by Gen. SHERMAN'S armies, a portion of tho most valuable archives of the State were abstracted from the State Capitol. The Padocah Herald, of the 6th, says : "The ?wife and children of ex-Governor ISHAM G. HAE JUB, late of Tennessee, but now of Cordova, Mexi? co, reached this city yesterday on the ifoPorter, tn route for their new home in Mexico. The following was posted about the city of New Tork last week : "Wanted for the Fenian army, 10,000 pair of patent leather boots, of the O'Ma honey-Killian style. Samples to be submitted at ibo Union Square mansion." The New Era, published at Fort Smith, Ark., informs ne that they have a First National Bank in that place. We hope the Bank is not of the ape?les "Wildcat;" aa might bo inferred from the locality. F. F. GERALD, a teacher in the Freedmen's Ba? il reau at Mobile, arrested some time ago for steal? ing a horse from the livery stable of Mr. Burrs J)AXE, was tried at the recent term of the City i Coart, found guilty, ?nd sentenced to five years' imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary. Amongst the books that were a "drug" on the market at tho recent trade sales, were the foliow lowing volumes:-"But'er'e Biography," -'Fre? mont's Military Exploits," and "Parson Brown low's Buncombe Book." There was not even a augie bid on these. By the raising of the sunken ships in the harbor of Sevastapol, Russia, thirty-six tons of copper, ninety tons of iron, twelve hundred cannon, (oar thousand balls, twelve thousand cast iron ballast pigs, ono hundred chain cables, and a large quan? tity of miscellaneous stores, were recovered. Gen. BANKS' proposition was only tosend GRANT and FABRAGCT to Paris ; but now we find there is & proposition to Bend the New York Seventh Regi? ment to Paris also, to attend the Exposition, to comparo them with the redcoats who are to be i, there. A regiment or two of U. 8. C. T. would make an interesting addition. On Tuesday next, we learn from the Richmond |Ta.) papers,-there will be an extensive sale of medical and hospital property, at the Moore Hos? pital, corner 26th and Maine streets, in that city, by order of the Surgeon-General. During tho war this building was a hospital, and was called after B. P. HOOKE, the Confederate Surgeon-General. The Richmond Examiner of a late date, says. .The report, current in the city yesterday and the evening previous, to the effect that Mr. DAVIS was dangerously ill at Fortress Monroe, and that a telegram had summoned Rev. Dr. MDINEGEBODE to his bedside, is incorrect eo far as it relates to the absence of Mr. MINNEQEBOOE from the city. Mr. MWNEGERODE has gone on a visit to Norfolk and Baltimore, but did not visit Fortress Monroe at the summons of Mr. DAVIS or any of bis friends. AB far ae we know, or could learn last night, Mr. < DAVIS is in good health," "General JOSEPH E. JOHNSTON, in a letter in which j be consente to become a candidate for the posi- } tion of President of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, .ays: ,lThe position, to me, would be the most agreeable one I could thiuk of. No pobition would Mdt me better than the Presidency of ? respecta- 1 ble railroad oompany, and I should prefer the 1 Mobile and Ohio Railroad to any other. The ' majority of the troops oiromanded by me during ! the war were from the Gulf States, and my best and warmest friends reside there. I havo a strong desire to pass my remaining days in the Gulf ( States in the midst of those who have shown ' themselves to he my best and most steadfast ! friends." ' The Richmond TYmes says we hear from all ! sections of the Btate that there hHS recently been a great improvement in the condition of the grow- 1 mg wheat. Fields in which six weeks ago there was not believed to bo a living spiro, and which Che owner* co. templated ploughing up and plant lng in corn, now look green and give promise of a partial crop. It is worthy of mention that the ; wheat sowed with a drill has everywhere stood ' the rigor of the winter better than that seeded 1 by hand. This w easily exulained by the fact that i the drilled wheat M in all cases covered to a prop- ' OT deptb, while much of the hand-sown wheat is < imperfectly covered by the harrow or left enlire- 1 ly on the surface. This matter is well worth the t attention of farmers. , gar AU communications intended for publication tn Ulis journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily News, No. 18 Eayne-street, Charleston, S.

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 20, 1806. To tile Public. For satisfactory reasons we have withdrawn from the advertising arrangement entered into some time ago between ourselves and the Charleston Courier. The agreement is therefore terminated. CATHCART, MCMILLAN k MORTON. April 6, 1866._ TUBPENTINE. The development of our national resources at this time is unquestionably one of the most im? portant topics that can engage the citizen and patriot ; and it becomes our duty as journalists to call attention to it from time to time. The sub? ject of labor, in its varied phases, past, present and prospective, baa been abundantly discussed ; so also the culture of cotton, and the prospects and speculations in regard to the present crop. Manufactures too, we are glad to soe, are claim? ing a good deal of public attention ; bat there is one of our sources of industry (in part agricul? tural, and in part pertaining to the domain of manufactures), that has been greatly neglected of late. We speak of the production of Turpen? tine. North Carolina has always Btood pre-eminent in the production of Naval Stores, and probably will for years to come ; bot at the timo of the commencement of the war, this article formed a considerable item in the production and trade of South Carolina. Turpentine and roein have been made in this State for a great many years, but it is only within the last twenty years that much attention bas been given to its manufacture. It is estimated that 50,000 barrels of Spirits of Turpentine and 225,000 barrels of Rosin were shipped from Charleston in 1860. This, however, did not comprise the whole crop of the State ; as a large part from along the line of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad found its way to Wil? mington ; and some again from the eastern part of the State was shipped via Georgetown. There is not the same demand now for this ar? ticle ; and this from a combination of causes. One is : The bigb Internal Revenue tax (24 cents per gallon), coming at the very time when petro? leum has taken the place of Turpentine for many purposes ; another is, that there was a great ac? cumulation of these stores through the conntry, all of which was thrown into the market, imme? diately on our resumption of commercial relations with the outside world. A great redaction in price was the consequence, from which it bas not yet quite recovered. The high freights have been another hindrance. Turpentine, however, will continue to be made in Sooth Carolina, for years to come. There ia a vast amount of land, covered with fine large trees of the long leafed and loblolly pineB (pinus palus? tris, and p. taeda). A much larger extent of ground can be worked in this business, than in ordinary farming. The same trees will yield their resinous tribute for twelve or fifteen years. They can then be cut down, and the "fat knots" barned into tar or pitch. The? mako very good him ber ; may be sawed into plank ; or used for "cross ties ;" and all this before the land is cleared ; the natural after-growth making good thia annual waste. Or if the ground is to be cleared for cul I tivation, it will be none the worse for this appar? ent drain of "the fat of the land." In 1860 the average prioe of spirits was 33 cents a gallon; now it is about 75 cents (including the tax of 24 cents Internal Revenne, which is about 75 per cent, ad valorem). The crude turpentine pays an ad valortm tax of 6 per cent. A barrel of 280 poonda crnde, we understand, makes about 7 gallons of spirits. Present freight to Liverpool on a barrel of roein is about 3 shillings; about G shillings on a barrel of spirits, and about 4 shillings on erode. Freight to New York by steamer 40 cents a barrel of rosin, one dollar for spirits, and 50 cents for erode; from all of which it will appear that under the present Internal Revenuo Law it is more advantageous for oar prodocers, even at present high rates of freight, to ship the erode article than to distil tho spirits. Formerly a great deal of erode turpentine was shipped from hore; bot at the commencement of the war distilleries were in operation all over the country. We only knew of one producer in this part of tho State who always shipped his "stuff" jost as he took it oat of the "boxes." We think it likely that many of the distilleries will be allowed to fall to pieces ander the new order of things, and thc erode will again be shipped to foreign parts. The old crop is pretty mach all disposed of. Dealers tell us that they do not think the crop of 1866 will reach more than ono-fifth of that of 1860. Opinions,- however, vary very moe' on this point. Some of our informants tell us that negroes are averse to engaging in this work, whereas the ex? perience of others ia of a diametrically opposite character. LEGALITY OF MILITARY COMMISSIONS. A case has arisen in Kurth Carolina which will test the question whethor the President's peace proclamation will suspend the proceedings in mili? tary courts. Major GEE is now on trial before a military court at Raleigh, N. C. Laet Tuesday a notion was made on the part of tho accused to joauh tho proceedings. The Judge Advocate ?ead an order from the War Department to eus pend the mustering out of officers detailed to sit >n tho Commission, which order, being dated sub? sequently to the President's proclamation, waB jeld to be tantamount to an ordor to continue the .rial. The Court decided against tho motion to ]uash tho proceedings. The accused sued out a vrit of habeas corpus before a Jadge of the Sa aerior Court o? the State, which was served on jeneral RUDER, commanding the Military Do jartment of North Carolina, to have Major GEE aoforo him, the Judge, on Saturday, tho 14th, when the matter will be decided whether the :rial shall continue. No doubt instructions from the Government have been given by thia time on :he subject. Tho Rockingham Register says: "A larger wheat riold will be mado thai tho indications a few fvecks since justified us in believing. Fields that tiad the appearance of having been frozen out XT6 now presenting a vory encouraging prospect. SVhile not so large a yield will bo gathered as we :ould wish, yet wo have no doubt our farmers will lave 'enough and to spare.'
