Batter is Belling at thirty cents per ponnd, and eggs at twelve and a half cents per dozen, in Winchester, Vo. The Seaboard and Itoanoko Railroad is taxed to its utmost to carry tho freights from Norfolk to North Carolina and Eastern Virginia. Eight years' steady devotion to the wash tnb has enabled a good woman in La GrosBe to bnild throo good huimos, and pat away a neat little pile of Government bonds. The West Virginia Oil and Land Company havo struck nil in a new well that yields throe hundred barrels (equivalent of twelve thousand dollars) per day. A danghtor of tho late Owen Lovejjy, for many years a member of Congress from Illinois, is now a teacher in ono of the colored schools in Vicka bnrg. The redoubtable Wiofall (of Texas) and wife are in London, when? tboy aro received with groat honor by tho aristocratic sympathizers with the South. The London Timfs announces that a marriago is about to tttko place between the PrincesB Mary of Oambri'lgo and the Prince de Teck, eon of the Duko Alexander, of Wnrtemborg. Tbe rivers in the Wett continue high. The tipper Mississippi and its tributaries were ?till rising at last advices. The denizens of the great ralley see nothing but disaster before them, unless the flood should speedily abate. Senator Stjhner wept last woek in delivoring a eulogy upon Mr. Foote. A day or two before that gentleman dlod, Sumneb charged him with pro tending illness to avoid voting. Buhner seems to be as apt at crying as at lying. Some over-zealous French officials forbid the publication of Victor Huoo's Traca?eurs de la Mer in the local journals, bat on an appeal to tbe Emperor the restriction waa removed. So saya tho correspondent of tho Now York Tribune. Fort Republic, near Btannton, Vs., promises to bo one of the first manufacturing towns in the State. It haa now three iron foundries in full ( blast; another is projected, and a large flour mill is about to bo built. The editor of the Tennessean, a paper publish ed in the interest of the Freodinon'a Bureau at Nashville, preoented hia subscription list to tbe Pr?sidant, who, observing Senator Rumner'h name thereon for $5, wrote a subscription of $25 there under. The entire population of New York City, includ ing its suburbs, ia 1,458,38}.- Of this number 859,DH0 aro natives, and 307,403 foreigners?four aliens to every six native born. There are 208,700 Irish.109,977 Germana, 27,049 English, 8049 French, 9207 Scotch, and 1771 Swiss. The preparations on board tho Great Eastern for receiving the new Atlantic cabio have been completed, and the stowing away of the cable in the tanks commenced on Saturday. At tho end of June or tbo beginning of July the Great Eastern Will commence! laying tho cable. The occentr o Lord Holland, of tho reign of William III., used to give bis horses a weekly ooncert in a covered gallery specially ereoted for the purp -so. He maintained that it cheered their hearts, and improved their temper, and an eye witness aays that "(bey eeomed delighted there with." A young lttdy from tbe East has brought suit against a proniinont St. Lonis merchant for a breach of promise ; $25,000 ia the aum required to heal tho pectoral fracture. [A youthful member of the feminine persuasion aays that any gentle man is welcome to break her heart at that figure.] A present of eight very bountiful Arab horses of the famous Dioff breed, ia about to be do ^patched by the rr'ultan from Constantinople to the Empe ror Napoleon. Suleuian Ami.?., chief of the Im perial stud, Ins been commissioned to replace them, if poa-ul-le, by other animals of equal beau ty and purity of blood. Ho will shortly leave for Bagdad on this ?mind. Thomas J. Kelly, "Adjutant-General I. It. A.," desire? to announce to all friends of Irish freedom that ?Tames Stephens, O. E. I.

Mr. Ste phens will address tho people of the dilferent Amer ici ? cities. According to returns just published, it ia found that 68 67 per cent, of the men in tho British army are able both to rend and write, and 6.-'0 percent, are of a superior education. Of tho remaining 29.55 per cent., 16.55 oan rend but not write, and 12.07 can neither read nor write. 12.97 per cent. of soldiers, thereforo, aro uuublo cither to read or write.

Tho counsel for tho plaintiff finally withdrow t.to caeo, and tho Jutlgo expressed his full conenrronco in that course aa tho wisest for the plainlitT himself. A caso has hcon tried boforo a fall jury of no groes at Murfreesboro', Tonn. A freedman throw a stone at anotlior frcoduian, who roi sli a tod in hind, striking his assailant in tho head and in flicting a Bovero wound. Tbo injured man died, and tito matter was brought boforo tho Frootl mon'a Bureau, anda trial was had, with twolvo freedmon for jury. At tho Island of fit. Ooorge's, Bermuda, a pri vato company has just completed a Marino Ship of largo dimensions and complete arrangements. On tho 21st tilt., a Norwcgiau bark of 441 tons was successfully hauled up for repairs, and the occasion brought together a large concourso of people from Bt. Goorgo'B and tbo adjacent isl ands. Tho bill to regulate the hours of labor, known as the "eight-hour bill," was rejected by the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, on tho 20th, by a vote of 100 to 52. The Boston Ad vertiser Baya of tho bill : "It is as any proposition iu political economy can be, that to mako eight hours tho legal limit for a day's work would either be inoperative, liko the legal rato of interest, or that if it formed tho basis of contracts between tbo laboro.v and tho employer, it would occasion a ohange in tho nominal rato of wagon suffloient to make the dollar in payment represent the samo amount of labor as now." In the last seven years the annual avorsgo value of tho plates m anufaotured iu the United Kingdom, and shipped for exportation, amounted to more than ono and a quarter million pounds sterling. In 1864 the total declared value was ?1,263,246, represented by 1,002,947 owts. Considerable moro than a moiety of the total was sent to tho United States; noxt in order of importance were Franco and Italy, which conjointly received but littlo in oxcees of one-sixth of tho first mentionod; British North America and China figure for 36,346 cwts. The dobate on tho second reading o? tho Iloform bill of 1866 will bo both animated and protracted, if the spoechos with which it was ushered in can bo accepted as lair examples of thoso by which it will be continued. Tho many and serious objec tions which have been takon to the measure by men the liberality of whoso political eentimonts is beyond suspicion, as well as tho modifications which tbo Government have received to make in their general soborno of action, compelled Mr. Gi^adstone to adopt the unusual course of Blip porting his motion for the second rending of the bill by a long and unquestionably able speech. The Methodiat Episcopal Church, South, for the past twenty years, says the St. Louis Republican, owned and occupied a church building in La grange, Mo. Tho Northern branch of tho society had none, but bad boon kindly granted tbe use of the S.'Uthorn society's building. After borrowing tho keys for somo time, while the town waa in pos session of a company of Radical militia, thoy bor rowed them once more, this timo putting them in their pious pockota, and keeping tbe rightful own ers out, through military intimidation. They have consequently had to resort to a lawarjt to re gain possession. This may not bo *"| ions per jury,' but it looka very like stealing in tue name of virtue. eE" Alt oommunicattons iniendea for publication in this journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily News, No. 18 Uayne-streeL, Charleston, 8.

CHARLESTON. a. ? ? THURSDAY MORNING. MAY 8, 1866. THE ADMISSION OF COLORADO. The Senate, by a vote of nineteen to thir teen, passed the Bill for the admission of Colorado Territory as a State of the Union. It haH an unsettled population of twenty or twenty-five thousand, not as large, by half, as the littlo oity of Richmond. The Bill -was opposed by conservatives mainly on tbe ground that Buoh a population is hardly suf ficient to justify the admission of a Territory as a State, when the popular ratio for a rep resentative in CongresB is a hundred thou sand. Mr. Sum nek and some other Radicals opposed the Bill beuauso negroes, in the State Constitution of Colorado, are exoluded from the right of suffrage. Other Radicals supported it beoause it would give two addi tional members to the Radioal strength in tho Senate. Should this Bill pass the House, we shall have Colorado, with twenty-five thou sand population, and a Constitution excluding negro suffrage, admitted as a State, whilst eleven Southern States are forbidden a voioe in Congress beoause they have not conceded negro suffrage ! The New York Herald re marks that what adds to the inconsistency and injustice of the distinction is the fnotthut the oolton furnished from tbe exoluded South ern States since the clono of the war, for tho markets of the world, foots up a Bum equal to three hundred millions in gold, for tbe re lief of the national oredit, the national our renoy, and the Federal tux payers of tbo United States, from one end of the Union to the other; whilst in all probability as large an amouut may be secured this year by ad mitting the South to Congress, whi oh would re-establish there the confidence, activity and systematic industry necessary to the full de velopment even of the crops tbat havo been planted. ? ? - EVIDENCE WANTED. A writer to the New York Independent re fers to a statement in that puper to tbe effeot "that, iu the ratification of tho Federal 0* institution in 1788, bluok men voted in every Stute in tho Union save South Carolina,'' and nt-kit it to publish tbe facts and documentary evidence, in order to silonoe the "Copper beads'-' who deny it. The Independent very judioiously denies the task, alleging that it on unot, spare tbe epaoe, and adds: 'Wo can only repeat what we before stated, that black men voted, or might havo voted, for there wero no constitutional enactmonts to pro hibit them, for the ratification of tbe Federal Constitution In 1788 in every ?State, eicopt South Carolina. In Maryland and Virginia tho right of uiir.igo was not restricted by the Constitution, hut was regulated by statutes. In all the other Hinten the right of suffrago waa enjoyed by all fr? o citizen? without reapeot to color. The con stitutional disqualification of color in reapeot to snffraRO) is a rccont innovation, borrowed from South Carolina." Tho Riohmond Whig replhiB in ita usual nblo manner, and asks: ''Was moro dishonesty and falsehood over com pressed into so small a compass? Yot such tire tho means employed by tho Iladical leaders to holster up their cause. It is somewhat surprising that The IndependtrU should decline to publish tho documentary evidence asked for. It is not often that documents aro wanting when that par ty wishes to establish uuy fact. They havo ma chinery for tho manufacturo of evidence, as they have for tho manufacturo of paper collars. The ovidonce manufactory is at Washington, and it givos employment to more 'operativos" than tho New England manufactories. It is tho "Recon struction Committee." If 27ie Independent will just call upon tho Chairman for the evidence ho wants, it will bo promptly furnished, and in any quantity desired. In less than ono week a wagon load of affidavits will be furnished that will de monstrate incontostibly that until Mr. Johnson becamo President negroes have votod in every State of the Union. It can bo proved that Wash ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monhoe, and all 'the fathers,' were native Africans. It can be further established, if necessary, that the South ern whites have always been excluded from suf frage, and that until Andhkw Johnson becamo President, it never entered tho head of any man to claim that francbiso for them. Documents ! Evidence I They grow in Washington as fruits grow in tho tropics. They aro kept boxed up bko oranges, ready to bo sont to order, and transpor tation is free." a.a "BUMMER BU2LER." The Riohmond Times coniplimonta Butler again in this wise: "There is a strong probability of "Bumincr Butler" boiug whitewashed into a state of mode rato respectability. During tho past fortnight his prospects bavo brightened very materially. In the tirst placo two valiant bunk officiais rushed into print to vindicate Butler from all suspicion of having pocketed tho funde of a saviugs bank. In the second placo, tho counsel for a Now Orleans' broker, named Smith, from whom Butler took fifty thousand dollars in gold, gavo him a certifi cate last week that tbe seizure was proporly made, and tho certificate so delighted B. F. that he straightway paid over tho fifty thousand dollars to Smith's attorney. Tho cerliiicato was well worth tho money, and so emboldened Butler that ho at onco swore that tho great rebellion had bankrupted him. "After the skillful whitewashing of Cataline by Louis Napoleon in his life of Cesar, tho claborato dofenco of Nero and Calliuula by Thomas De Quinoey, and tho complete vindicatiou of Judas Iscariot by a German philosopher, we think there is a strong probability of somebody's making, ono of these days, a "whiled sepulchre" at least of Butler's reputation." a a . NEGROES IN JAMAICA. The Royal Commission in Jamaion, which has been examining into tho history of tbo late revolt in that Island, has taken a great deal of testimony, much of which, while it leaves exceedingly uncertain as yet the ques tion how far the plot of tho rebellion extend ed among the negroes, reveals in strong light the fact that the Jamaica freedmen are wholly unfit for self-government No one can read the evidenoe without peroeiving the conclusivo natnre of its bearing on this point. It was a point, indeed, which did not conoern the Commission, and to which they gave no attention, and the evidence on this subjeot was for that reason not direct, but it is on that account all the more, forcible and convinc ing. One of the remarkable features of the tes timony relates to the oredulity of tbe negroes. They seem to believe any story, however im probable and foolish. Henoe constant exoito ment oan be kept np among them by do signing men. Rumors that the Queen had sent them shiploads of presenta, had ordered the lands to be divided among them, had done this and that impossible thing, not only spread as rumors, but were instantly adopted and believed by the whole colored population. Various witnesses testified that a common be lief prevailed among thorn that "liberty of person carried with it liberty of land, nud that the Queen bad given them the lauds when she gave them freedom." Tho custom* of pilfering among them ia described by wit nesses as almoet universal. They stoal every thing they can lay hands on in the way of provisions and the produce of the soil?steal ing from one another as much as from tbe whites. Farming is desoribed as almost im practicable in Borne districts on account of this practice. Among the witnesses examined was Rov. S R. Ward, who is described as a colored man, formerly a slave in America, who had escaped and been in England, lie said "the people were oredulous and truthless, and if you told them they were starving they would bo very muoh inclined to believo you, evon if they were well to do." Ho said that "so far as bo could per?oive, tho laborers had not muoh to complain of respeoting the adminis tration of justioe. Tbe fact was that the black people grumbled evon moro than En glishmen did; they were always grumbling; and their grumbling was oooasioned by tem p?rament more than by any substantial rea son. If it rained, they grumbled; if it didn't rain, they grumbled; and so on. Then there was a looso feeling among thorn with regard' to the land. They did not like to pay rent? and if they hired an sore of land they did not waot you to measure it off, but wanted to till a good deal more." Too same witness said "there was a low tone of morality in re speot of marriage; one-half the ohildren registered in the island during the last eleven years were illegitimate." The superstitious character of the blacks is remarkably illus trated in Jamaica. Obeah is still believed in. These are but a few of the characteris tics of the race In Jamaica, after the experi ment of freedom under English oivilising influences. It is, of course, plain enough that thore oro bad white men as well as black, and that these same vices prevail among the whites. But the remarkable character of this testimony is its swoeping nature. The witnesses spenk of a whole race as developing these marked characteristics. The oxooptiona only strengthen the rule. WANTS.
