including the Southern States : Whole number of
parishes, 2303; whole number of clergy, 2530; total
membership, l?l.224; contributions the paot year.

ISAAC REDFIELD, of Boston, formerly Chief
Justice of Vermont, has accepted the position of
counsel for the Government, to look after tho
cases now pending in Europe, growing out of the
seizure of property alleged to have belonged to the
rebel Government.
Hundreds of mules and horses are constantly
passing through Nashville, going South, over the
various railroads. Fifteen car loads arrived there
Monday per Louisville, and will be distributed to
Corinth, Miss., and various points in Georgia, per
Nashville and Decatur, and Nashville and Chatta?
nooga roads.
Tho Eric Dispatch says that a young lady, named
HASKINS, who has been teaching school in the
neighborhood of L^kc Pleasant, recently under
. took to correct a pupil, a little girl, when she was
set upon by an elder sister of tho pupil and cruelly
beaten. She was thrown down and her skull frac?
tured so that she is now a maniac beyond the hope
of recovery.
The Albany Journal states that the mangled
body of a man was found on the railroad track
near the Center station on Saturday morning. The
head could not be found, and the body was horri?
bly mutilated. Thc remains were brought to the
city. There was nothing on the body by which it
. could bo identified, and it is uot known where the
accident occurred. ...
A Tennessee paper says: "Cofie? County is fast
becoming a Pennsylvania colony. Some fifteen to
twenty families from that State have purchased
lands around Concord and Oak Hill, and aro set?
tling. They have already laid out some eighty
five thousand dollars for lands, and 'tho cry is s lill
the;r come.' They are excellent fanners aha good
citizens, and we have ample room for all such. Ono
of them baa purchased tho extensive CATHO:;
property.
An account of the disaster to the Kate Dyer,
says that just as the ill-fated ship was sinking,
with her planks torn asunder and her masts falling
around her in confusion, a largo Newfoundland
dog was noticed leapiug from the main deck after
the body of a boy who was buffeting with the
waves. Buoying the body upward the noble ani?
mal swam for the Scotland, but such was the vio?
lence of the sea that the dog lost his hold, and the
body sank simultaneously with the ship. The dog
is said to have been rescued by the sailors on
board the Scotland.
The newspapers of Texas say it is beconiing
difficult to decide "whether beef or cotton holds
supremacy in Texas. That great State raises
large quantities of both, and, having been but lit?
tle affected by the war, continued to grow in
prosperity whilst the rest of the Southern States
retrograded. Stock-raising and the exportation of
cattle makes fortunes in a short time for many
Texans, and it is said that the transportation ofc
cattle is now one of the most lucrative branches of
Southern trade. Northern vessels, unable to earn
remunerativo freights elsewhere, find it a good
paying business to carry cattle from Texas to
other portions of the South.
A branch railroad from the Great Western Rail?
way to the oil wells at Petrolia, in Canada West,
has been opened. There aro now upwards of 150
producing wells in Enniskillen Township, Canada
West, ranging from eight 'barrels a day to up?
ward. Most of the wells are pumping wells, but
recently large flowing webs have been struck of
great magnitude. The latest event of this kind
was the striking of a large .flowing well, the capaci?
ty of which is over 600 barrels of oil per day. This
well is now under control, after thousands of bar?
rels have flown to waste, and it is now kept down
to 250 barrels per day, till sufficient tankage ac?
commodation is p repared.
The Philadelphia Press gives a summary of the
last report on the GIBARB estate. The estimated
gross revenues for 1867-68 are $330,000; an in?
crease from last year of over fifty per cent. The
value of the rear, estate is constantly increasing,
and as it cannot be sold, or leased for a longer pe?
riod than five years, it must always furnish a large
and steady revenue. The trust owns nearly two
hundred properties in Philadelphia, consisting of
stores, dwellings, wharfs, lots and farms, besides
valuable ooal and timber lands in Schuylkill and
Columbia counties. Some of the ' ronts have been
doubled, others trebled, lt is hoped that the fond
will soon bo able to support twelve hundred or?
phans.
The great Chicago tunnel for supplying pure
water from the bottom of the hike is completed.
The tunnel is a circle of brick, laid in cement, two
miles long, under 30 feet of land and 32 of water,
the elevation at lake extent being 4? feet. From
the lower resorvoir, on the lake shore, the water is
to be pressed by heivy engines to two high reser?
voirs, and from them conducted all over the city
No failure from the fountain-head is contemplated*
The cool, puro water from near the bottom of the
lake is received into the tunnel. Cost, about a
million. This great work was commenced in
March, 18G4. The houses and st?ren of the city
were originally witaout cellars, with plank streets
and sidewalks. A large portion of the buildings
aro already raised six feet or more, and the streets
paved. . Population in 1812, a fort for defence

CHARLESTON
? FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER ?8, 18?U.
OUR TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES
A few weck3 ago we explained to our reactors
something ab . nt tho great quarrel now going on
between tho two rival telegraphic news associa?
tions. Tho "Associated Press"' is composed of
several of thc New York papers, who, to 1 asen thc
expense of their dispatches, sell them afterward
to the provincial press. ? Por years they havo en?
joyed a monopoly, of which., like all other monopo?
lies, they made most unmerciful use. A few weeks
ago Mr. D. H. CRAIG, for years the Superintendent
ot' the New York Associated Press, severed tho re?
lation and organized a new association, with
i agencies in every part of America, and having
j mu.de pcrfeot arrangements for procuring thc ear- \
best intelligence per cabio from Europe. Tho old
concern has been doing its utmost to break dora
Mr. CRAIG, menacing any paper that should re?
ceive his dispatches, even though rot paying for
thom, with excommunication. "Wc J'or some time
have been receiving thc dispatches of both ;ISHO
I elations, andfindL.g those of CRAIG'S, or, to call it
! by its proper title, "Thc United States and Euro
I pean Nows Association," thc most complete and
! satisfactory, and moreover not concoaing to the
! Associated Press tho rigbtof dictating to us what
we shall and what wc shall hot publish in our pa
I pei*, wo have concluded to withdraw from the old
monopoly, and now furnish our readers with the
fuller andmore complete dispatches of Mr. CRAIG'S
association.
Our relations wth the . old association have ever
been pleasant, and we cannot now take leave of it
without expressing our thanks for the uniform
courtesy and kindness which have always been ex?
tended to us by its agents. To "Mr. PATRICK WALSH
especially, the agent at Augusta, wo have boon re?
peatedly indebted for favors.
THE NEW "SICK MAN."
- \
The old world has long enjoyed the privilege of
having a sick man in the family. The new world,
in all things aping tho old, must have its sick man
too. One would suppose that with Mexico ready
made to hand, there should be no necessity for
tho introductivo of Le Malade Imaginaire; but to .
the brilliant genius of the New York Herald we f
owe the original idea of applying the Turkish* ap?
pellative to these Southern States. The versatili?
ty of thc man who delivers tho Herald oracles is '
perfectly marvellous. To bis many other accom- j
plishments he adds that also of being a leech; we
regret that wo cannot say a well-skilled leech; but t
as yet we have had no proof of anything more than j
blatant quackery. In ono of his late editorials, m j
which he endeavors to bully the Southern States 1
into an acceptance of the Constitutional Amend- .{
ment, thia learned doctor of the Herald says : "A
mild constitutional amendment, such as Congress
proposes, by a little rhubarb and spirits of nitre,
docs not seem to meet the case of this sick man;
he must be salivated wilft calomel and jaiap !" j
Strong shop talk for a layman , o laymen, and of 1
course chara: terlzod by the usual ignorance of in- J
terloping quacks.
The South is hi no way obliged to Mr. Herald for
his diagnosis ; does not plead gudty to being a J
sick man : has had some hard knocks, to be sure ; 't
seen stars and felt stripes ; vision somewhat im- 1
paired from the suddenness of tho concussion. }
The heart may be sore, but the head is not sick ;- ^
on the contrary, is perfectly clear. We might re?
tort, we, want none of your nostrums. Physician,
heal thyself. Look at .tho corruption in your midst.
Can you find anything analagous to it herc ? Look I
at your distillery frauds that'are hourly brought to 1
fight ;-look at the contracts of the Bureau of In- 3
dian Affairs, where it is proven that members of
Congress-the representatives of the nation, her
greatest men and her best-so supposed to be-for
filthy lucre stoop to most dishonorable courses in |
order to procure contracts for their clients. The t
greatest joke of the season are these Congressional ?
investigating committees, sent to examine into the |
corruption of custom house officials, etc. Where (
corruption is so ramified, and embraces so wide a
range of individuals and of subjects, it seems a j
hopeless task to examine into it ; and certainly a -,
useless one, when it is considered that not unfrc- ?
^uently the examiners are as deeply concerned in
the affair as the examined.
. WTe say not these things in the spirit of the
Pharisee, boasting of our own superior virtue.
But as we are the "Sick Man," we claim tho right
of examining into the qualifications of ourwould- t
be physician, and finding him unable to heal his t
own infirmities, we cannot give him our confidence, *
and would respectfully beg him not to trouble e
himself by any further attempts at amending our 1
constitution. It is bad enough to be sick, but it ^
is ten times worse to fall into the hands of igno?
rant, self-conceitod charlatans, who insist on your
taking their drops and boluses.
AESCULAPIUS vs. MINERVA.
In well regulated families children are not per?
mitted to go visiting unless they know how to-be- !
have themselves. If a naughty child goes into
company and excites remark, the mother has only
herself to blame. One Dr. MARV WALKES, a !
Northern female without a husband, is on her |
travels. We have heard of her nearer home. In
fact, if the truth must be told, we saw her rn- Cas- j
tie Thunder,-a fortress of great renown once in
the city of Richmond. Dr. MARY was not prepos?
sessing in appearance; neither handsome was, nor j
handsome did. She applied to Gen. WINDER for a I
personal interview, and the old General gave her ;
an audience, when she seemed to take special pains
to be as impudent and unwomanly in her de?
meanor as possible. We next hear of her in the!
Tombs of New York, brought there because she
insisted on wearing male apparok and the officers !
of police were under the impression that it was
wrong for a woman to wear the breeches. How?
ever, in due course of time, tho "lady" waa re- !
leased, triumphing in the decision of the Court,
that she could wear anything she liked.
She is now in Loudon, where, dressed a ia |
Bloomer, she recently delivered a lecture at St.
Jamos' Hall. Her audience was large, although
the price of admission wae from five to seven .shil?
lings,-most of those present medical students,
who appeared to think that they had paid their
money to ace some curious freak of nature, and
they, in fact, behaved as if they were in a circus
or menagerie. They hissed, they shouted and
sung; they crowed, they barked and whistled.
This was the acolade. The "orator"- for a long '
time could not hear, her own voice. Soon after she
commenced she was again interrupted. There J
was-a general caterwauling; then a great cachina
tion; then a lowing, and then again a neighing.
The ind^nant correspondent of a Now ?ork Radi?
cal sheet says that the conduct of these young
gentlemen was perfectly scandalous.
Her theme was, of course, herself-her history
iud strugglos in the pursuit of hor profession, and |
1er experience in tho ann". Then she also on
arged on the advantages of thc Bloomer costume.
Tho correspondent, to whoso roport wo arc in
lcbted for this account [no loss a man than KABL \
BLIND, 'who gained such notoriety a few years
igo], regrets that tho fair (?) lecturer did not
exercise moro discretion in tho treatment of her
subject. Pito attempted to bo humorous in regard
;0 topics on which r.Iic uliould have preserved
.ileneo, ?md thus continually suggested double
antendi'CB iy'tlie fertile minds of ber frolicsome
auditors.
This reporter, as we have said, is very indignant I
at the troatmont his heroine met with at tho bauds '
Df tho young medical Brit.ms. Tko American
editor bolds up bis bauds in holy borror at thc 1
rudeness and wickedness of tbose stupid Englisii.
iiucb a thing could not happen in this country,
"Nothing but' professional jealousy," quoth bc.
"could make these embryo doctors act so shame-]
fully."
We do not agrco with tho Radical editor, mas- I
much aa wc liave seen MARY WALKER, and also |
know somewhat of tho natural history of a medical !
student. We should deprecate any international
difficult}' that might arise from this imbroglio.
We doubt oven whether YATTEL or GROTECS would j
throw any light on the complication.
THE PHrr..vr>ELPnTA Age hits tho nail upon the
head when it says '"tho Presidential election is ap-1
proaching, and tho minor ty are determined to !
carry that election, as they did thc last', by oxclud- j
ing States from participating in tho contest. This
is tho meaning of thc progressive movement of j
Mr. SUMNER, ?iud it must be so considered."
THE FOLLOWING sensible paragraph we clip from
tho New Orleans Crescent: \
Wo greatly admire the smrsrostion of our cou- j
temporary, the Commercial, to Southern farmers
to ?"cfc out fruit tree.. Tho orange, tho Hg. thc ;
persimmon, the pecan, the pear, apple and poach,
ill theso are protitable and most agreeable fruits, 1
and would, with little corresponding expense, add j
very materially to the wealth of tho South. A
trifling expense at the outset, a very little caro
annually in cultivation, and whore but small value
was before yielded by the fertilized soil, the enjoy- j
ment of fresh and almost perpetual fruit would bo
realized. What a fine entorptise it would bo for a
Lew thousand of our city idlers to embark in this
very business 1 How many broad, fertilo acres in
DUT Sunny South ai-e aching to bc tickled with hoes
in the hands now earning precarious subsistence

PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF BRAIN LABOR.-A Paris
sorrespondent of one of the London journals stirs
ip a question long mooted in regard to tho effect
if hard brain labor on longevity. He notices that
iiost of the talented mon of Franco reach a ma?
mre age.
Look, for instance, at some of the mon of the
Acad?mie Francaise. M. Viennct, although 801
rears of age, is yet in tho full enjoyment of his in
;elle.ctual faculties. M. de Segur, at 8S, is as alivo
? aU that ie going forward as he was 30 years ago; |
lo Pongerville, 76, completed tho other day the
.evisiou of his fine translation of "Lucretia,'
?he fourth edition of which has just appeared;
Lebrun, at 82,. is as halo as ever; Villemain,
be father of the Academy, whoso election took I
flaco in 1S21, is 76; every now and then wo,
lear of his being seriously ill, but for all that
io has not tho remotest idea of either vacat
ng bis fauteuii or of giving up his functions
>f perpetual secretary, which he fulfills with the I
nost assiduous punctuality. Lamartine is 7fi, yob
lis step is clastic, and ho holds himself as upright I
ts when he saved the country from red republican- j
sm in 1848. Flourens, 78, has been ill for ten
rears, yet attends regularly. Count Charles do |
uontalenibort, andPonsard, tho popular poot-al
bougli both ill-arc stiil in tho full possession, of
?heir brilliant faculties. M. Guizot, 71), and M.
Thiers. (19, still ?opresent the July monarchy with
ill their wonted vigor, and each of these veteran
Drleanist s+^earnen enjoy robust health. Berrycr,
:-l, the staunch legitimist, is as bright and active
is any mah of half bis age; Victor Cousin, the de- j
ightful biographer of the celebrated women of
Louis XIV.'s timo, although suffering from chest !
lisease, presorves his health by an annual visit tc
lannes arning the winter. The Buke da Broglie,
12, son-in-law to Madame de Stael, is still as pol
shed and strong as though he were made of-steel.
MINNESOTA TEE COUNTRY FOB CoNSUllPTIYES.
Che St. Paid Pioneer has obtained from tho State
Department at Washington a copy of an interest- |
ng report by Dr. Leas, our Consul in Madeira,
ipon the subject of "climate as a curative agent in
jonsumption." Tho report will bo published, in
he Commercial Relations for 1867. Its author is
m educated physician, was for several years at
he head of the Health Department of Baltimore,
md has served as Consul in (. entrai America,
?ussia and Sweden, and is now at Funcbal, Ma- !
leira. He says that the long established reputa- ?
lion of Madeira as a resort for consumptives is
'disintegrating." This fact may be accounted
br by the increase of consumption among the
owcr classes of tao island by the vexations with
?hich the stupid Government eurrounds invalids,
md hy the revolting system of begging which is
illo ;. ed and encouraged in the streets of Funchal.
?outhern France and Algiers do not possess so fine
i climate, but they aro more accessible, the local
rathorities are ponte and active in their care of
risitors, and the current of invalid-travel has tum?
id from Madeira to those countries and to Egypt."
C e climate of all these southern resorts, Dr. Leas
.hinks, is still to be recommended to invalids in |
he advanced stages of consumption, where the ut
nost that can be seemed is the prolongation of
?fe. But to persons "in the first or forepart of tho
lecond stage," he recommends a residence in tho
>igh northern latitudes, especially in Minnesota, j
Che object to bo attained is the thorough oxyg?na- j
ion ot the blood.
DECEASED MINISTERS OF THE ALABAMA CONFEB
2?CE.-In the proceedings of the Mobile Confer?
ir, ce of the Methodist Church, a tribute is paid to !
he members of the Conference deceased during |
he past year.
Rev. Andrew Jackson Crawford was. one of the
ildst members. He served at New Orleans under
iis relative, whose name he bore, and while young
iccame a member of the Tennessoe Conference,
h 1835 he removed to Alabama, and died in July
ast in Marengo County.
Rev. Walter Clppton Harris died on tho 11th of
ast February, aged about 35 yefs. He was a na?
ive of Wilcox County, and was admitted a member
if the Conference in 18 2. He had been an invalid
bout two years before his death.
Rev. Edwin Baldwin, a native of Georgia, died at I
lelma January 9th, aged 38 years. In early lifo he
?ecaine a resident of Mobile, whence he volunteered
n the Mox'can war. ' In 1850 he devoted himself |
o the ministry. After participating bravely in the j
lefence of Selma, he commenced the publication {
f the Selma Messenger, which he edited ably for
everal months. He was then appointed to the
hargo of Uniontown, and died before entering
tpon it. __
THEBE still exists, among well-informed French
people, a tradition that in England a husband com
oonly put a halter round his wife's neck, leads hor
0 Smithfield, and sells her to the highest bidder.
1 laborer named Martin, aged thirty, at Vire (Cal?
ados), recently went still further. He not only
old his wife and a cupboard together for five
rancs to a young man named Vautier, but assist
d the latter by force to take possession of his pur
base. For this grave offence the two men have
nst been tried at the Court of Assize of Caen.
Tho hearing of tho case took place with closed
loora, and the jury having returned a verdict of
;uilty, but with extenuating circumstances, Mar?
in was condemned to eight years' hard labor, and
Gautier to five years' imprisonment.
SOME ill-feeling has boon cveat?d at Fek^i by the
rection of a temple by the French missionaries at
spot whore it could overlook the Emperor's
rounds. They aro, however, said to haye allayed
is annoyance by promising not to raise it suffi
iontly high to overtop the palace wall. Not only
i the capital, however, are missionaries creating
I-feehag, which naturally extends to foreigners
eneraliy. A proclamation has been extensive?
ostod throughout Hoonan, and m the adjacent
rovinces, denouncing at length their interference
1th established customs, and calling on loyal sab
jets to rise and extenninate them.
