SEY, Muhlenburg Comity; R. H. STANTON, MayB ville; ELIJAH HISS, Logan County; ROBERT MAX LOKY, Oldham County; R. H. HANSON, Bourbon County; G. W. CRADDOCK, Frankfort; R. W. SCOTT, Franklin County; W. E. BULLOCK, Louisville; Dr. J. R. BUCHANAN, Louisville. At $2.50 a word in specie, Secretary SOWARD'S dispatch of five thousand words to Mr. ADAMS in London, coat $12,500. Mr. ADAMS is expected to Bend back from Lord JOHN RUSSELL a dispatch equally long, which would make $25,000. Things must bc serious to warrant this vast expenditure. However, it is to be hoped the war will be fought out by the Atlantic cable, cost what it may. The money goos now-a-days a great many more foolish ways. The Selma (Ala.) Messenger says: "Gen. H ARPEE is located in Selma at last, in the beautiful resi? dence of our lamented fellow-citizen, the late Maj. MARKS, on the suburbs of the city. Welcome to the noble soldier and the polished - gentleman j May his railroad trains ever continue to clatter by, groaning under the press of business, and may the chills which smoke up from the neighboring low grounds never reach his household !" On Wednesday last Judge MARVEN was re-elected to the United States Senate from Florida for six years from the 4th of March next. His competi? tors were General FTNEGAN and Hon. J. L. F. COT? TERELL. Both these gentlemen received highly flat? tering votes, the latter lacking but two of an elec? tion on the first ballot in joint meeting, and the .same number on the last. Gen. FTNEGAN was not in nomination on the second day, his friends hav - ing withdrawn him in favor of Mr. COTTRELL. The manufacture of window and bottle glass at Pittsburg, Penn., gives employment to 1800 men and boys. Their annual wages amount to $1,396, 516. Of silica, brought from Missouri, 212,000 tons are consumed. The annual value of manufacture is $2,160,000. Besides the foregoing, there 'aie nineteen manufactories of flint glass, which are valued at $1,298,000, the weekly wages of which are $19,000. They consume annually 2,095,806 bushels of coal, employ 2304 hands, and manufacture $2, 000,000 worth of ware. . By the Maiagorda we have news from Galveston of the 27 th. Bremen bark Weser had arrived, sixty-seven days from Bremen, with 226 emi? grants, all in good health. Admiral SEMITES will lecture in-Galveston, December 4, on the "Equip? ment and captures of the Alabama, viewed in the light of American precedents and the law of na? tions." They are going to have a new theatre in Galveston, to cost $100,000. Professor BACHE, of the coast Vi g H frivazL ordern ft?-?l?? OHM*?-? of Galveston Harbor at once, and there is every possibility of an early appropriation being passed by Congress. The gross receipts of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad during the past month were greater than at any time of the same length since it has been built. These gross re? ceipts already, since the commencement of this month, exceed the sum .of $200,000. This may give some idea of the vast amount of business this road performed, in consequence, mainly, of the State Fair, which has just closed. The directors of this road have recently shipped two hundred and fifty bales of cotton to Europe for the benefit of its coupon holders there. This looks like the road was in a prosperous condition and under good management. The Floridian says : "We print in the accom? panying supplement an interesting and dignified report, made to the House on Wednesday last, on a resolution requesting the influence of the Gov? ernor and of our delegation in Congress in behalf of the unfortunate prisoners confined at the Dry Tortugas and suffering illegal punishment, and especially to bring to the notice of the President the cass of. GEOEGE ST. LEGEE GRENFELL, under sentence by a Military Commission of close con? finement for life. The report is from' the pen of A. J. PEELER, Esq., one of the members from this county. There is little doubt of the fact that Col. GRENFELL was the victim of perjury, and that he is unjustly imprisoned." LONGFELLOW is still engaged on "Dante." EM? ERSON is reading the proof-sheets of a new volume of poems enti"rd "May Day and Other Pieces." LOWELL is writing prose and verse for next year's Atlantic. HOLMES is progressing with his new novel, "The Guardian Angel." WHITTIER will com? plete by next spring a new volume of poems called "The Tent on the Beach." AGASSIZ is engaged, with bis lectures, and in writing a popular book of travel on Brazil. Mrs. LYDIA MARTA CHILD is en? gaged on a new novel; name and nature not yet announced. JAMES PABTON is travelling in the west to write up the large cities for the Atlantic. BAYARD TAYLOR has been c'a artered by the Atlantic to make a trip to the Old World and write a series , of papers on the "By-ways of Europe." Mrs. HAR? RTET BEECHER is now occupied on a novel for the AOanlic, which will probably take up all her time next year. . Active preparations are being made for the fall races . in Mobile and New Orleans, and the largest number of horses ever brought to a fall meeting are gathered at the Magnolia Course. The New Orleans Picayune, ot the 27tb, remarks under this head: "We have already chronicled the arrival of several stables of race horses from the upper coun? try for t&e fall meeting of the M?tairie. On yes? terday -the stables were all filled witirHhe horses that got here on Saturday night. The "Old Belia ote," Dr. J. W. WELDON, has again made a bid for the purses of the M?tairie. His stable is here headed by Aldebaran, with BWLy Connor, KnighOtood, Lo? cal, and a two-year old for company. The cele? brated racer, Bichmona\ by Two Bits dam Forth, by Childe Harolde, is also present, as is a chesnut filly by Jack Malone, ont of Sea Breeze, The lat? ter is owned by Major T. G. BACON, and leaves to? day on the steamer for Mobile. Richmond, also, is destined for some place to attend the Magnolia meeting on the 4th of December, after which they, with some twenty-six others now at Mobile, , will return here to attend the inauguration of the new M?tairie on the 22d of this month. Never before naves-?rr^j horses gathered at New Orleans for the fall meeting-as are now booked for the re? opening of this famous ftvoe course." .$10.00 5.0O ?3.50 5 cents .3 cents ; tS" Ad communications intended for publication in this journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Baily J&ews, Nb. 18 Hayne-street, Charleston, S.

TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 4, 1866. THE BBESIBENT'3 MESSAGE. We present to our readers to-day the Mes? sage of His Excellency, the President of the United Statas, and we need scarcely commend it to their attentive consideration. The in? terest -with which its^coming was regarded, the conviction that it would contain the clear and final statement of the views of the Government upon the subject of reconstruction, and possi? bly present a course of policy to counteract the movements and purposes of the Radical party, were sufficient to inspire a feeling of anx? ious interest in the people of the whole coun? try; and to-day that paper is before them, for whatever of.sati8faction.it may be found.suffi? cient to afford. In its statement of the right of the States of the South to a restoration to the Union, of thc propriety of the course pursued by the Govern? ment to that end, of the importance of a speedy restoration, and of the danger to result to con? stitutional liberty from the further effort to ex? clude these States, it is clear and forcible. Supposing it addressed to a public sentiment capable of appreciating the propriety of his position, the argument is unanswerable. No question can be entertained as to the justice of readmitting the Southern States, and as to the great good to result to the whole country from the restoration of peace, order and good gov? ernment; nor of the dangers to result to the whole form and system of constittitional liberty from the success ofthat course indicated by the dominant party in Congress. But we are constrained to confess the hope that something more might be presented; whether it was possible or not for the Presi? dent to present an available policy in opposi? tion to the Radical party in control of Congress was a question about which the people of the country were not entirely assured. But still the expectation lingered, that in some way he would be able to overcome the impediments to his policy. We have long since ceased to be? lieve that there was anything tobe gained hy argument. We have- felt assured that reason and logic would be lost upon that party that aspires to power. We have thought it were as well to attempt to reason victims from the beasts of prey, as power from the grasp .of a party ~*ho have scrupled at no sacrifice to gain it. We have thought that argument was unavailing to the public for the reason that they have no poVver to act upon the question. We have thought that it would be unavailing with this party, for it is of its nature and purpose to hear nothing in opposition to its will, and it was our hope, therefore, that argument aban? doned, some measure would be proposed, some position taken, around which might be thrown the forces sufficient to sustain it, and that the further surges of oppression. Of this hope we are constrained to confess the disappointment. His positions are the posi? tions of a year ago; they were not then suffi? cient to arrest the Radical party. They occa? sioned no reaction in the public sentiment of the North. The North is possessed of Congress. It becomes daily more dangerous to oppose the Radical movement. Men who stand out from the organization are crushed. It acquires mo? mentum as it rolls, and it seems scarcely rea? sonable to hope, that in this Message there will be more than the force of a protest, dignified but impotent, which leaves the Radical party . in undisturbed possession of the field of combat. Considered in the light of a protest merely, it is grave and dignified certainly, and grate? ful to the feelings of those who have yet con? cern for the honor and interests of the country, but it may be doubted whether it will be of ad? vantage either to the President himself or to the people of the South, whose fortunes it would seem to be his purpose to advance. If the power of the Radical party be paramount, if there be, in fact, no appeal to any other au? thority, sufficient to vindicate the right, it were as well to accept the fact in silence, and upon those who have the power let there be the re? sponsibility of its consequences. Absorbed by the interest inspired by this portion of the Message, we have little inclina? tion for a consideration of thc other matters it presents. They exhibit the affairs of the country in favorable aspects. The financial condition seems to be promising; its foreign relations are generally amicable, and if we were not oppressed with a sense of impending political calamities, we could contemplate the condition of the country with as much of satis-, faction as we . have ever experienced upon the occurrence of ?ny similar publi cation. TBE VS?BY LA W. Tbe Legislature has entered with commend ! able, promptness upon the business of the ses [ sion, and has already taken up the subject bf j the Usury Laws, which -was made the special i order in the Senate for one o'clack yesterday. ! We have already expressed our solicitude that the law restricting the rate of interest should be repealed. We are not possessed of the bill now under consideration, nor are we aware, therefore, whether a repeal or a modification only is proposed. We object to the present law upon principle, however, and we hope if anything be done that it will be done thor? oughly, and leave no remnant of the evil as a bone of contention for other Legislatures. It is claar, we think, to ""any comprehen I sion that the great want of our people is capi? tal, and equally clear that such restrictions im? pede its coming from abroad. When.Antwerp was invested by the Prince of Parma the en? terprising Hollanders, tempted by .the high prices of provisions, run them in through the rivers and canalpin- epjte of the utmost efforts _ of the Spaniards tb prevent it.,. But Lt. AIAX ?qgj: &$t'~r ?%-<5;;r....: -r- :&? v.vsv v.A.Vvs.-vf';.- . .?":. tim& ! ... ANDE, who was in charge of the defence, and whose feeling was better than his judg? ment, procured an ordinance that no provision should bo sold beyond a certain price, which he thought was as much as the impoverished people could afford to pay. The blockade-run? ners, disappointed of the profita they ex? pected, and finding the price too small to jus? tify the risk, reported the facts to those who were without, and such enterprises were at once suspended, no more provisions were sent in, and the miserable citizens denied the privi? lege of purchasing at higher prices, could pur? chase at no price at all, and Lt. ALAYANDE had simply the satisfaction of knowing that he him? self had completed the blockade, and saving! the money of the people had reduced them to starvation. There arc few of our readers, we presume, who will not confess the impolicy of such an ordinance, and yet it will be difficult for them to present the difference in principle between such an ordinance and an act of our Assembly restricting the rate of interest on the use of ] money. The higher price will bring it in, and, attracted by such higher prices, it will come, and will come in quantities to meet the requisi? tion. And as capital is abundant elsewhere, it is quite probable the market may be over? stocked, and prices rule as low as in other sec? tions of the country. That has been the case with provisions within the last year in Charles? ton. Tempted by excessive prices, they have been crowded on our market, and instances have occurred where they have peen purchased in Charleston for shipment even to New York ; and generally they have been sold at but a slight advance upon prices elsewhere. This could not have been so if prices had been limited by legislation. If it had been unlawful to sell flour at more than $10 per barrel it is doubtful if there could have been a single barrel bought at less than $30. Thc merchant who could only sell it at $16 would charge some $14 more, to cover the risk of violating the law, and our impoverished people would only have been greater sufferers in the effort to relieve them. This, in fact, has been the case with money. That only has been scarce. It has been pur? chased at ruinous rates of interest. Many op? portunities of enterprise have been lost for the want of it, and the law, therefore, has not only no principle but not one single fact of an ex? perience to sustain it, and it is truly to be hoped that the Legislature will relieve us from the evils which the existence of the law im? poses. WE take pleasure in publishing the very in? teresting letter of CARL BENSON, in our issue this morning. In speaking of the "Black Crook," we had no intention to animadvert upon the play or ballet ; our remarks were designed against the sensation preacher who resorted to this charlatanerie for the purpose of filling the Cooper Institute, when [an ordinary sermon in a church, not disclosing (such) "naked truth," would have left him empty benches. We think there was, on the whole, more harm in going to hear the Rev. Mr. SMYTH than in going to see the "Black Crook." We did not endorse the strictures of the Round Table, inasmuch as we know nothing of the subject. We have no :-r_ rf *T !Z01-. T.?*?_iaAi?s.Eejt drunk m New York. We are quite willing, however, to accept the assertion of our correspondent, than whom no one has a better right to speak on a subject of this kind. Political preachers, wt must reiterate, are not indigenous to this soil. CARL BENSON'S objection is not well taken. BROWNLOW was born in Western Virginia, and has lived ever since in East Tennessee, both Border States. He has never been considered a Southern man, certainly not among Southern men. At no pe? riod of his long and checkered career would the South have been willing to have BROWNLOW considered as one of her representative men: This he has himself fully demonstrated during and since the war, in going, tooth and nail, against the South. Nor is he, properly speak? ing, a preacher. At some time of his erratic life he was a Methodist local preacher, but certainly never wielded any influence in that capacity. It is rather hard to have BROWN? LOW thrown up to the South as a political preacher, by way of an offset to the CHEEVERS, BEECHERS, PARKERS, BELLOWSES, etc., of the North. We shall be pleased, however, to hear again from our correspondent, on this or any other topic. " _. BISHOP COLENSO. The name of this Prelate has become famous, owing perhaps much more to fortuitous cir? cumstances than to any intrinsic merit he can lay claim to. Mr. COLENSO is, or was, Bishop of Natal, a far-off colony in South Africa, un? known to the world literary, ecclesiastical or secular, till a few years ago he published his j "Pentateuch and the Book of Joshua," which ? at once attracted universal attention, not be- ! cause of any original views presented in the elucidation of these old records, nor simply because he boldly attacked their authenticity, for this had often been done before. The Rationalists of Germany, during the last half century, have said everything on the subject that can bo said. But their system never took root in England. Some doubtless there were who, from time to time, advocated it, but the guardians of orthodoxy were too vigilant to permit the acclimatization of such heresy. But when a Bishop of the National Church endorsed such views, they became at once, respectable, and commanded the attention of the entire Church and nation. Bishop COLENSO yr&e tried before the Primate of the South African Churchj Bishop GRAY, upon charges of heresy, and by him deposed. The Privy Council subsequently decided that the Bishop'of Cape Town had no right to deprive the Bishop of Natal of his spiritual functions. COLENSO then sued GLADSTONE and others, Trustees of the Society for the Propagation bf the Gospel, for his income, which had been withheld by them for the last two years. Lord ROMILLY, the Master of the Rolls, has just given bis -decision in this case, in favor of Bishop COLENSO/ who thus recovers the arrears, of his salary and the costs of suit. The lib?rala in Church and State are delighted at this triumph, which undoubtedly will embolden many-writers (within the pale of the Church) who have hitherto repressed heterodox learnings, because of a wholesome and very orthodox fear of losing their benefices.
