A Congressional Committee will leave Washing? ton next week for Anderson, in this State, to in? vestigate the facts *>2 the murder of three United States soldiers in that District last year. Ono of the large corporations afc Laurens, Mass., is reported to have $1,000,000 worth of cotton goods on hand. Six tons of poultry, for Boston market passed through Concord, N. H., on Monday, before Thanksgiving Day. Orders for grain are sent from London to San Francisco, via the cable and overland telegraph, and answers are received the same day. Hop-growing in Wisconsin has become an impor? tant interest. Sank county alone produces, this year, over 75,000 bales, worth $750,000. It is said that the indebtedness of Southern rail? roadB for rolling stock and locomotives, bought since the wax, is $7,000,000, of which the Nashville and Chattanooga road owes $1,800,000. The Oregon Legislature has appropriated $1, 000,000 in behalf of the Oregon Central Railroad, to aid a road built from Portland to the California boundary. A letter from California says many of the high? ways of that State are infested with gangs of rob? bers, who overhaul stage coaches and relieve the passengers of their money, and rob every one who comes in their way. The Vermont Legislature, at its recent session, passed an act limiting the liability of the Vermont Banks for the reduction of their currency _t? the period of one year, commencing from the publica tion of a due notice. Rev. Dr. Dix, of New York, said in a late sermon that he could mention an insurance company with a property of $44,000,000, and at least three indi? viduals in that city who were worth $50,000,000 each. Among the wealthy oil men of Pennsylvania is old JOHN BENNEHOFF, whose income, estimated from the present production of bis oil farm, is not less than $500,000 per year. He still lives in bis antiquated Dutch homestead, near the head of Bennehoff Run. Pour wholesale dry goods bouses in Portland sold goods to the amount of $2,860,000 during the year 1865. The wholesale transactions in groce? ries, proviKtoii3,"Hour, dry and. ran cy gwan, uuuu? ana siiuea, molasses and sugar, hardware, iron and drugs forthat year, footed np $11,000,000. General FBEMONT has sold the Southwest Pacific Railroad to the Southwest Pacific Company, a cor? poration created by the General Assembly of Mis? souri. The consideration is $1,300,000. This will not retard the progress of the road, but rather enhance it. In 1839, Messrs. BABBON, POBBES <fc Co., started a small cotton mill at Tepic, Mexico. They had 24 looms in all, and made coarse cotton cloth, bat did not set their maobinery in full operation till about 1841. In 18*6 they cleared $113,419; in 1847, $180, S31: and in the nine years from 1839 to 1848, saved $873,017. The merchants' Union Express Company are making successful efforts to extend and perfect their communications all over the country. The company, we understand, have succeeded in les? sening express freight charges to the public very -materially over the Western routes. **? As a result of the recent meetings of the insur? ance companies, held in Hartford and New York, the current rates have advanced, in some cases, frtRia one half of one per cent, to one and one quar? t?? per cent. The insurance companies have all mado monoy on their risks in Hartford, while los? ing in many other places. The Toronto Globe says it is not the intention of the Canadian Government to issue a special com? mission for the trial of the remaining. Fenian prisoners, as was at one time expected. The time of the Judges is too much occupied to admit of it. It is reported, however, that the trials will come off at the January Assizes. i The Sand Patch tunnel, on the Pittsburg and ConneUsville Railway, is at last cat through. Ite total length is 4760 feet, being 1000 feet more than the long tunnel on the Pennsylvania Central Rail? way through the Alleghenies, between Altoona and Cresson. It is intended for a double track, and is 22 feet wido by 19 feet in height. The public debt of the United States was re? duced, during the last year, nearly two hundred millions of dollars, the total revenue receipts from all sources being $556,039,195. This reve? nue, it is believed, exceeds in amount that of any other nation on the globe for the same pe? riod. The prize money paid United States sailors for captures made during the late war was very hand? some in many cases. The larges*, amount paid to one individual, for the capture of a single prize, was $38,318 55, paid to Wu. BUDD, commander of ? tho United States steamer Magnolia, for the cap? ture of the Memphis. After paying all expenses of adjudication, this prize netted $500,914, so that even each ordinary Beaman realized $1,73153. There are fifty establishments in Troy, N. Y., -engaged in the manufacture of Unen and paper collars, shirts, bosoms, &c. The house of GEO. B. CLDETT, BRO. &,Co. does the largest business, turning out goods valued at $146,252, and paying an Internal Revenue tax of $8,775.12. The total -value of these goods manufactured in Troy last year was $1,429,453, and the total amount of tax paid thereon was $85,767.18. .-.The Bangor Whig estimates that, during the present season, the manufacture of lumber in Haine will reach 600,000 feet. The total value is not less than $15,000,000-to which must be added the value of the short lumber-shingles, clap? boards, laths, pickets, ?tc.-from $3,000 000 to $4,000,000 more. About one-half of this manufac? ture is done on the Penobscct River and sold at Bangor. " Despite its unfavorable natural peculiarities Provincetown, Massachusetts, is a very enterpris? ing place-improving its fine harbor to the utmost in the prosecution of the fishing business. During the last season this town fitted oat and sent to the Banks and Bay Chaleur, not less than 80 vessels, manned by 849 men, and which brought into port 74,000 quintals of codfish. Next year this fleet will be increased in numbers and efficiency, at an?x? ense of $300,000. .910.00 5.00 ?.50 .5 cents .3 cents JO" AU communications v??'ended for publication in this journal must be addressed to the Editor of the Daily News, Nb. 18 Hayne-street, CJiarleston, S.

The South may now make ready to accept her fate. The painful and protracted contest for the preservation of political liberty, we pre- j sume, is over. It was, in fact, ended at the i cessation of hostilities. She was then able of | herself to do nothing more, and though it ap? peared to be the purpose of the Government to j intervene, J assert itself, and to protect her from the most severities of subjugation, and it seemed to have the power to do so, yet even j that illusive hope has faded. The Radical party of the North has come to Congress with even more of power. It is more assured of its strength and its resources. It has become in- j Btructed in the office and the forms of dominion. The President is without the constitutional | power further to impede its action. His veto fails of its office longer to neutralize the acts of Congress ; he has failed to indicate, and it is to be presumed has failed to perceive, the method or the means to do so ; and the South, therefore, stripped and powerless, is but in a j condition to receive what, more of impositions that party, now completely masters of the Government, may see proper to inflict. The prospect is unpleasant. It is sad -to | realize, and sadder to be obliged to confess that | our political fortunes ar?.; so hopeless. Nor is there grounds to assume that this party will be | sparing or considerate in the exhibition of its power. There are persons with it, and of it, perhaps, who would be glad to be so. The' men of the North and ofthat party, perhaps, are j not individually blacker-hearted than are per I sons elsewhere, nor are they without the U j average of intelligence; and it is to bc presumed ? I that, if it were possible, they would spare us un- 1 necessary suffering ; for they are conscious of no wrong we have ever done them, and they I can scarcely fail to perceive that threaten- j ing spectre of a despotism, even to themselves, still lurking in the shadow of their sectional do? minion. Many express reluctance to the further injury they feel themselves impelled to com? mit; and the conductors of leading Radical journals and some public men have staked their political fortunes in the effort to moderate exactions. But in these facts there is little to assure us. An organization like that of which we are to be the victims, is not susceptible of I intellectual discretion. The party that started the movement against CHARLES the First in Eng 'lana naa lrxtie- ti?_^g^* _*vp ?.H? h?nvn;uf-ito consummation. Yet, starting from those hor-j rors as they rose in vtew, they had no option j I but to go on, orbe crushed by the pressure from behind them. So also in France, the Giron? dists were the miserable victims of their own revolutionary impulse. Already at the North those who falter are forsaken, those who doubt are damned; and, as it is true of every movement upon the conservatisms of a State, so is it true here, that from its centre there continues to ex? foliate a redder and intenser spirit of malignity and ruin, and vain were the hope, therefore, that it can have moderation or method in its I madness, or can stop until its utmost forces are , exhausted in the consummation of its course. Assuming that the Radical party is, through Congress, master of the situation, it becomes important to consider what will be the conse? quences. To us its attention will of course be directed. At present it seems even more con-1 cerned about the Government. That Gov? ernment has ventured to. assert itself, and to interpose for our protection. For that act of temerity it is made to answer; and at | present the object is to strip that Government j of power; and in inflicting indignities upon us, the present object seems to be as much to mor? tify the Government by an exhibition of its impotence, as to visit us with any especial rigor | of infliction. But achieving whatever of triumph or capital there may be in suppressing the Government, it will be next in order to operate upon the South. What precisely shall be done to us is not even yet apparent. We ; will be stripped of liberty of course, but that is a loss which we wUl only share in common with 1 every other section of the country ;-for a gov? ernment despotic to one section must be despotic ] as to all, and imposed upon us, will necessarily extend to other States. Impartial suffrage, which means the equal participation of the ! negro in the elective franchise, will doubtless be required. At a caucus held at Washington j on the evening of the second instant, and con? tinued by adjournment, that has been resolved on. . It was resolved, also, that it should be taken without amnesty ; that the power of the President to pardon should bc taken away; from him ; that the Congressional Amendment, even, should bc no basis for reconstruction, and generally it has been agreed upon, though it was not formally announced, that Congress shall be the Government, and, like the National As? sembly of France at its removal from Versailles to Paris, shall be supreme not only over the I laws but the constitution of the country. It would seem, therefore, that the South must j accept the condition of a province, and for ourselves we have but to say, let that condition come. We cannot desire it-but j more than that, under present circum? stances, would be illusive. The Radical party, vigilant and jealous of its power ! in Congress, would admit us to nothing more than the forms of a restoration, and it were as I well to accept, at once, the conditions of a sub? jugated province, as by visionary forms of a re- ! presentation to exhibit a concurrence in the 1 measures to oar degradation. In this condi? tion, also, it will the less matter that negroes shall have suffrage. That Government, from considerations of interest, if from no higher motive, will preserve the peace and order of , the South ; and if, with these secure, the negro ] I shall be admitted to equal privileges of elec tion from which all are equally excluded, it will bc of little practical importance. What in the way of confiscation and attain? ders may bo done, it is not yet easy to deter? mine. Thc pardons of the President will be disregarded if there were motive to do so; but there is not. Even popular feeling at the North has ceased to demand its victims. The South is so far away, and has so little of an offensive attittide, that there is more of feeling, perhaps, against those opposed to them at home. We think it probable, therefore, that the question merely will be in what way the South can be best used to advantage; and as it will be more profitable to .remit her to a condition of industry and order; as more can be made from her products than her property, and as the heads of inoffensive men will be of no pe? cuniary value, nor, in the present state of feel? ing, will even purchase political capital, it is quite probable that, ttja South will be left in a [material condition in many respects as favora? ble .ia that, sb^p is in at present. In factf it is noTlmprobabJnJJia.t hej^jaaterial fo?tp.n.ggmay be brightened. Men have feared the triumph of the"""xTepublican party, and in that triumph they have feared disorders and outrage. From | such apprehension capital is kept., away, and our own people have shrunk from enterprises and investments: but when it shall appear that we survive the shock-that, accepting sub? jugation, wc are in no worse condition than when fevered, as for the last two years, by ap? prehensions of its coming-it is quite probable that enterprise and capital will cornie in, and the cultivation.of the South be as extensive and ef? ficient as it ever yet has been. .;"';? That our State Governments w?i be permit? ted to~ continue, *is no? cerlain, though quite probable. There will be a necessityrfor the par? ty in power to make provision for. adherents. It is ?probable, therefore, that they willbe sentto pro? consular and pretorian positions over the South, and thus the State Governments must, to an ex? tent, be limited in their powers and operations; but as agencies for mr-nifT"1 ljfe*agft order, ?ne functions of which cannot be altogether ab? sorbed by the central power, thjyVwIU bejtoo convenient toTbe dispensed.wit&^^&it may be expected, therefore, that the State'swill be re iCo'gnized as* distinct political bodies/, and that ^doHrcfririTrm?Uerg^wiU be permitted, to remain ?n m?cb7 thecOTid?^P^P^y are.., It is thus Jthat tfie*" ?^w"*"T5overnment will*, probably com pnence its course; but how it w?i continue-how preserve its power-how find in the mass of its -direction that unity of executive authority and action necessary to its office, and how it may preserve its own order among its many aspir? ants for place and power-are questions yet to W determined. MESSES. STO WEBS, KET& AND BTEEM. It would be a vain and unprofitable task to attempt to correct all the^ misstatements and. falsehoods of th? men Q^TIBT,, f^BatsonaLcorros pondents. ox. ine_New Yt?pk^S&^tfiCi r?ut^Tao?Brtr appears in that paper of Moiulay lastra letter from Washington, containing so ingenious and intentional a misrepresentation of the painful circumstances that have rendered conspicuous the names at the head of this article, that it de? serves at least an emphatic denial and a quiet exposure. The writer gives a statement of the evidence elicited at the trial of the Anderson prisoners, which is plausible but inaccurate. Ht- omits the important circumstance that all the evidence of the prosecution was 'purely circumstantial, and thus leaves it to appear that the prisoners were guilty without a shadow of a doubt, whereas the public of this State, who were perfectly familiar with the whole history of the trial, were unanimously agreed that they were unjustly convicted. In mentioning the part which the President took, the correspondent is anxious to make it appear that they were re? lieved by his authority, whereas they were re? leased by a judge on a writ of habeas corpus. The whole letter in the Tribune is, in short, a misrepresentation from beginning to end, manufactured expressly for j party (purposes to injure th? Presid?nt, without the slightest re? gard for truth, and is onl^ one of the many sensational political epistles that daily dis? grace the columns of thai paper. There is, moreover, a part of the secret history of this trial, which has not yet been given to the pub? lic, save in the inuendosi of the counsel for the defence, but which wejare able to publish on the best authority, and which we would give to the world, if iti were not for the pressure of military authority; and until this is removed, ar. .'1 it is no Ronger dangerous to speak the truth, no just estimate can be formed of the merits of the case. ( The idea attempted to be inculcated that they escaped punishment by means of their wealth is simply ridiculous, all the prisoners being men of only moderate means, most of - which was exhausted in the expenses of the trial. Since writing the above,1 we.learn by tele? graph that a Select Committee of Congress has been charged with the investigation of the cir? cumstances in this Anderson murder, and that the Committee will leave Washington next week for the scene of their labors. WE HOPE we know how to appreciate, with true modesty, the very delicate compliment paid us in yesterday morning's Courier. THE NEWS, on Wednesday morning, published a full account of ' the Planters' Meeting, held in Christ Church Parish, on Monday last. The same number of THE NEWS also gave a full re-\i port of the proceedings of the Charleston] Board of Trade, at their meeting on Tuesday night. The Courier of Wednesday made no mention of either of these meetings, but has made full amends, in giving them the place of honor in yesterday's paper, the usual learned j and instructive editorials being made to give way for matters of such palpable local interest. Colonel J. B?. Johnston, an artist of Baltimore, has in his studio a bust of Andrew Jackson by Hirn.T Powers. It was executed in 1819 at the White House, and is said to be the only bust ever made entirely by the sculptor with his own hands. Colonel Johnston offers it for sale, and there is some talk of the State of Maryland becoming ? the purchaser. WANTS.
