Prussia has ordered her officers at Bremen to arrest Prussian subjects seeking to emigrate to avoid military service. On the 23d nit., a gang of Chinamen, working on the Pacific Bailroad, in California, was buried under a snow drift, and five of them perished. The United States Government, it is said, is treating with Spain for the purchaso of the Island of Minorca. A difficulty occurred in Hampton on the 29th. A party of negroes made an attack on a store to avenge one who was shot while attempting to steal. They were dispersed by the military. A. T. STEWART is about to retire from activo business. We behove he is not worth more than . $00,000,000, and should think he would remain in business un till he had amassed a competency. BEEOHEB, in his sermon last Sunday, entertained his audience by illustrations from the recent Ooaan Yacht Bace ; very complimentary to the winner, young BENNETT ; and .it ?B in old BENNETT'S paper WA ore informed of the fact. There were 123 railroad accidents in the United States last year, involving loss of life, killing 633 persons and wounding 166. During the previous year there wore 32 such accidents, with the loss of 1788 liveB, and the wounding of 265. A dispatch from Washington, dated Sunday, says BEN. BUTLER is stirring up the Badicals to the work of impeachment. He told a well-known Boston lawyer to-iay that he was confident that the South meant another war, and that the Badi? cals should lose no time. "Editing a newspaper is a good deal like making a fire. Everybody supposes ho can do it a little better than anybody else. We have seen people doubt their fitness for apple peddling, ox driving, and counting laths ; but in all our experience we serer met with that individual who did not think he oould double the circulation of any paper in two months. In the latest edition of "Carpenter's Physiology" it is mentioned that out of three hundred and fifty nine idiots in. England, the condition of whoso progenitors could be ascertained, ninety-nine were children of absolute drunkards, and a large pro? portion of the parents of the remainder were more or leBS intemperate. Of the three hundred and fifty-nine idiots, seventeen were the children of pa? rents -nearly related by blood. The amount of flour inspected in Baltimore du? ring the past year was 907,326 barrels, of which 188,576 were Howard street, 327,445 barrels City Mills, 326,761 barrels Ohio, and 64,544 Family. Be? sides the above, there were inspected 11,127 barrels rye flour, and 45,052 barrels cornmeal. During the year 1865 the inspections of wheat amounted to 984,611 barrels, being 76,685 more than during the past year. A Washington special says the Government has been informed by Sir FREE ERICK BRUCE that the English man-of-war Bolivar, while at Laguayra, waa taken possession of by her crew, and had cleared for parts unknown. Efforts will be made to detain her should she visit American waters. This is important. If a pirate is afloat, it is well to know it. The Eastern question is assuming a very serious aspect. NAPOLE?N is said to have proposed to England, Austria and Italy to form with France a quadruple alliance, in view of approaching trouille in that quarter. Italy has addressed a firm note to Turkey on the subject of the steamship difficul? ty on the Cand?an coast. The relations between Greece and Turkey are very critical, and England has addressed a note of warning to Greece con? cerning an invasion of Thessaly from the kingdom. The Deputy Commissioner of Internal Revenue has decided that a marriage certificate, issued by ?he town clerk in compliance with the statute lew, and for public as well as private purposes, and used not only as a marriage license, but also for town and State records, does not require a stamp when issued by the clerk ; but the certificate of the clergyman or magistrate who performs the marriage ceremony should have a five cent stamp. About two years ago a San Francisco jndge sen? tenced a young man to prison for having fitted out a rebel privateer. After a few months confinement he waa released. A penniless adventurer, he dis? covered a quartz mine, which he succeeded in sell? ing for several thousand dollars. With the money obtained he bought into another mine, and sold his interest a few weeks since for $175,000, the judge who committed him to jail being one of tho purchasers. During the past year there were 501 fires in the United StateB, each involving a loss of over $20, CO0. Total loss by these fires $66,610,000 against $48,139,000 for the previous year, when there were only SM of such fires. There were eighty-five railroad accidents in the United States in the year just ended, causing the loss of 115 lives, and the wounding of 607 persons. For the ; previous year there were 183 accidents, 835 persons killed, and 1427 wounded. Th? financial condition of Kentucky, as it is re? ported by the papers of that State, is certainly -rory encouraging. The debt is said to be between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000. The State treasury now holds between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000. The Quartermaster-General has just been notified that $700,000 have been made subject to his draft by the proper national authorities, and between $1,000,000 and $2,030,000 additional is expected within a few weeks. Tho assets are therefore enough to liqui? date all of the liabilities, and to enable the State to begin the new year free from debt. The population of New York City, which in 1800 waa 60,000, ia now about a million. The valuation of property, real and personal, has risen from $85,000,000 in 1809, to $736,088,058; while the real Taine is about $1,000,000,000, or a thirtieth part of the property of Great Britain. The banking capi? tal of the city is over $900,000,000, and the trans? actions at the clearing house for the year ending October 1st were $2,900,000,000. Its registered and enrolled shipping 1865 amounted to 125,264 tons; and in 1865 there were 12,634 arrivals of vessels, 2,018 of which were steamers. The exporta that year were $208,860,250, and the imports $224 - 742,419. A large amount of money is said to have been lost and won on the yacht race between New York and England. The New York Times says : "We heard yesterday of one well-known operator (in every thing yet discovered) who had been fairly bantered into bets amounting in the aggregate to 46;000, every one of which?he wins with the possi? ble exeeption of one of $10,000, that the trip would be made by some one yacht inside of fourteen days-this he may poasibl- loee by fifteen min?tes. He had a bet of $5000 that the Vesta would, but on Thursday last a friend who desired to 'hedge* a little, begged, as a special favor, that he would .transfer it to him, and with his usual good nature (and bis usual good luck) he consented." The New Orleans Picayune learns, from a gen? tleman who left Cordova on the 6th inst., that only General PRICE, of Missouri, and Governor Wt-np-^ of Tennessee, are now left there. They have erected a house, but it is scarcely comfortable, and their families reside in the city. Gov. TTAP^TQ ia about sending his family, six in number, to Ten ?sgase, to have his children educated. Gen. SHEL-, BX is at Yera Cruz, engaged in the colonization of Tuxpan. Gen. STEVENS is still Superintendent of the Vera Croa Bailroad, but the travel and busi? ness on it are small. AU the Confederates in' Mexico are in excellent, health, but their prospects ware poor. Mr. MALCOLM, of Kentucky, returned nome by the last steamer. The Baltimore Sun of the 1st furnishes the fol? lowing statistics: "The trade between Baltimore and the Southern States during the past year, by water, has been of a gratifying character. The receipts of cotton during the year ending y es ter- j day were 38,683 bales, of which 9027 bales came from Norfolk, 8496 from Savannah, 4963 from Charleston, 2443 from Wilmington and other North Carolina ports, ?,779 from Apalachicola, 924 from New Orleans, 464 from Bichmond, 888 from Mobile, and 207 from Galveston. Of tobacco the receipts were 81,701 packages, 2949 hogsheads, 608 boxes, and 268 eases, principally from Bichmond, Peters? burg, and other Virginia ports. The receipts of wool during th? year were 2834 bags, whilst the amount of flaxseed brought Ito market from the Booth foots up 8884 barrels. The receipt? of ravel stores from North Carolina were 28,622 bar? bels rosin, 5286 barrels tar, 2435 barrels turpentine, and 3718 barrels piton. Besides the above, there nave been very heavy receipts of lumber, shingles, sid Iren, and hundreds of other saan articles.'' . .910.00 5.00 a.M) .8 cents .3 cents LARGEST CIRCULATION.-Th- DAILY NEWS publishes thc Official List of Let? ters remaining in the Postqfficc at thc end of each iceek, agreeably to the folloicing station of thc New Postofficc Lc*c, as the newspaper having the largest circulation in the City of Charleston : SECTION C.

FRIDAY HORNING, JANUARY i, 18G7. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE. Tho Hon. GABBET DAVIS, United States Senator for Kentucky, on the 12th of December last made a speech in the Senate on tho Bill then pending, to regulate the elective franchise in the District of Columbia. Tho Louisville Courier of the 29th contains bis remarks in extenso, covering four closely printed columns of that large paper. Mr. DAVIS has not heretofore been considered one of the champions of the South, and we hope, therefore, we shall not be accused of "pandering to the sec? tional prejudices of our readers," when we propose to present them with tho gist of this splendid ora? torical effort. Mr. DAVIS deserves considerable credit for placing his protest on record at a time like this for courageously denning his position, even in the face of tho Radical journals, which, he must have known beforehand, would oertainly deride him in their usual supercilious manner, for unearthing what they are pleased to denominate "effete issues." Derision is iiol argument, nor phiiippio logic, even though it has been said, and very truthfully, "Who can refute a sneer ?" We shall pass by oil tho pretty thing3 Mr. DAVIS says in praise of woman, and his deprecation of seeing her occupy a false position-elicited by the remarks of the Senator from Pennsylvania, who had offered, as sn amendment to the Bill, that the right of suffrage be also conferred upon the women of the District. Both the proposition and Mr. DAVIS' reply being manifest buncombe, we pass on to the real subject matter in hand, the proposition, as ho states it, that a nation of a, superior race should allow an inferior race, resident in large numbers among them, to lake part in their govern? ment, in shaping and controlling their destinies. This proposition, he says, "is refuted by its mere statement;" and as it in well in all discussions that there should be a distinct understanding between the disputants as to tho precise signification of tho terms to be used in the argument, Mr. DAVIS pro? ceeds to give his ''definition:" The race of people referred to by tho term "ne? gro" is well understood, not only by men of science and travellers, but persons of general reading on the types of msuknid. -That term comprehends a black skin, but not as sn exclusive distinotion; also, and especially woolly hair, a peculiar formation of the cranium, face, pelvis, shins and feet, which axe BO distinctly enumerated by ethnologists and' na? turalists, and which they all agree are the natural marks of an inferior race. Tho nrst recorded his? tory of the negro found him in Africa, occupy? ing moro than one-half of that large continent, and mostly within the torrid zone. The whole popula? tion of Africa approximates one hundred millions, of which about sixty aro of the negro race. He then proceeds to state that, for four thousand years, the negro has been the same unchanging specimen of man m his physical, intellectual and moral features and proportions. There has been the same destitution of arts, letters j and civil poli? ty; the samo absence of all civilization, and the same engulfment in the deepest ignorance and savagoism,-the tribes and natives making inter? minable and most cruel wars, and either selling into slavery or putting to death all their captives. The negro was made lower and weaker than the other rooes; he is subordinate to them, and has often been their slave, but never their master; all the occasional, meagre, and restricted civilization which he has ever possessed was imparted to him by them, and he could retain it only by their contin? ued contact and help; and but for their superior faculties and endowments the whole world of man : kind would now be in primeval and hopeless ignor? ance and barbarism. Mr. DAVIS then comes to the history of slavery and the slave trade in this and other countries, and next to the history of emancipation. This commenced, about eighty years ago, in St, Domin? go. Then followed the same kind of emancipa? tion, by national authority, in the West India Islands of England, .trance, and other European powers, and lastly in the United States. That emancipation has been a failure, in so far, st least, as relates to the proposed intellectual or moral ad? vancement of the black man, is undeniable. Hm deterioration from the time he was a slave in all of them is palpable; but in St. Domingo it has been much th* greater, because the conserving influence of the white man was not there to check and reform it. The honorable Senator from Kentucky then re? marked that, in the ardor of his youth, untaught by lessons of experience, he also entertained the prevalent dream of a possible civilization of the ne? gro race, and enthusiastically aided the coloniza? tion societies to transfer negroes from this country to his native home in Africa. "Bnt," he continues, "from all that I have since learned of the negro, and have read of the efforts to found the English colony at Sierra Leone and the American colony at Monrovia and the adjacent country, and from all the information afforded by the friends of those colonies, I am satisfied, in my own mind, that negro civilization can never exist in any other condition and connection than his enslavement to the white mon. I am satisfied that if the West India colonies of England, of Spain, of France, where emancipation has become con? summate, and the colony of Monrovia and the British colony of Sierra Leone, were abandonad by the white man, and none of his superior intellect, energy and conserving influence were continued there, those colonies, now somewhat civilized, would, in a few years, fall into as hopeless and as ignorant a barbarism os has hovered over Africa from the beguining of recorded history." That the two races are unequal would scarcely seem to require more than the mere statement of the fact. The men of science of every school may be considered unanimous in their opinion on this point. PBICHABD is the only exception. He as? sumed the opposite theory when a college boy of seventeen years, in writing a thesis, and this error, imbibed by him in his youth, he devoted the labors of a long life and a great intellect to sustain. Mr. DAVIS then goes on to say that he believes ours to be a white man's government; made by him for himself, without the aid OT any reference to the negro, Indian, or any other race of man. The preliminary clause in the Declaration of Inde? pendence, the great Shibboleth of abolition and radicalism, he says, is a mero abstract statement of principles and sentiments, and never had any force or obligation of law. It liberated no slave, negro or Indian.,(for there were then both) ; it gave no right of suffrage or any other right to any negro or Indian, free or slave, and it left them precisely as though it had never been made. These are historical facts-undeniable. "Our na? tional family very properly comprehends all of the nationalities of Europe who may come here ; but 1 assert that negroes, Indians, Mongolians', Chinese and Tartars, ought not and cannot safely be ad? mitted to the powers and privileges of citizenship." The speaker next adverted to the innate anti? pathy of different races, hostile in proportion to the degree of their difference. Amalgamation, he says, is the only possible mode of obliterating this aversion, and this, in the United States, is simply and utterly impossible. Superior and inferior races have mingled, it is true, but then they had held these relative positions from accidents of fortune, and not from any intrinsio ethnological difference. The helot and his Spartan master, the Saxon earl and the Mormon knight, were all of the same Cau? casian race. [Mr DAVIS says they were all of the Slumtlio race. For a United States Senator, we confess Mr. DAVIS makes a very fair show of learn? ing, bnt wo incline to think that here his ethnolo? gy is wrong. In the distribution of the races, as descended from the sons of NOAH, the pure Cau? casian, both "Greek and barbarian," is usually de? rived from JAPSET, and not from SHEM.] Mr. DAVIS then points to Mexico end the South American Republics, whore wo see the baneful ef? fects of practical miscegenation of the white with the negro and the Indian. The argumentum ad homi?em is put in the fol? lowing interrogatory : If the Radicals in Congress and ont of Congress knew with th? certainty of truth that evsry vote which they win enfranchise by conferring the right of suffrage on the negro would be cast against that party, in favor of their late Southern masters, in favor of Democracy, in hostility to the schemes of ambition and spoils which are now animating the heart and mind of the great Radical organization, who doubts that thia party and every one of them would declare for withholding suffrage from the negro? And the next paragraph, we suppose, must be styled the argumentum adfeminam: "who believes in the vaunted radical position of the equality of races, that tho negro must bo tho equal of tho whito man before the law, tjuat ho must havo evory legal right, every i>olitical and social privilege, everything to elevate his nondition and destiny to that of tho whito man, politically, civilly, and so oially? "Sinco tho closo of the last session of Congress some of tho Radica' s in each House havo chaugod their relations; they havo taken to themselves wives; but which one of thom has selected a sabio daughter of Africa to occupy that relation? Who of thom and of thoir families now associate with the black as they do with tho whito raco ? "Where, Senators, aro your nogro sons-in-law, daughters in-law, negro brothers-in-law;? Whore aro your connections in all the tender relations of tho do? mestic and family circlo of tho negro race ?" How could the honorable Senator from Ken? tucky be so rude as actually to attompt to ram the negro down the Radical throat by tho forco of vulgar logic ? After showing at considerable length that the sole motive of the Radical party in urging negro suffrage. ?B a craven fear of tho loss of power, ho concludes thus: Tho pooplo of the South made war in a wrong cause. They turned their backs upon pcaco and prosperity and liberty to fight for separate politi? cal power, and their heroism was never surpassed. Now, the war is made upon them to deprive thom of their right of Bolf-govornment, of their Holds, of thoir homes, family altars, of their religious temples. Thor, and ttoir wives, and their chil I dren, and their country, and everything compre I bended by that term, all for which man ought to ' Uve, and for tho preservation of which he should daro to die, the South is summoned to surrender to the absoluto control, by the instrumentality of her own negroes, of ber old and inexorable one mica. And she has the great humiliation of hav? ing upon hor thiB doop and dogradod enslavement; yea, worso, she is ofi?red the great insult of hoing asked to accept it. Now ?B coming tho terrible timo in which the ?eoplo of tho South will bo required to exorcise heir truest heroism. 7 y must jesist this great, this most foul, cruel a- Jlshonoring enslavement, but peacefully and by ry peaceful means which thoy can command, lucy will stand in need of all their patience, their courage, thoir fortitude, thoir power of endurance. To evory unjust and degrad? ing demand they must answor. with a will fixed aa destiny, no 1 By thoir peaceful and quiet and he roio suffering thov must win oven the respoot of their enemies and tho admiration and sympathies i of the world. It will be ? dreadful ana may be a long trial, but how much more bearable than the shame and galling chains of a voluntary slavery; and such a slavery to such masters ! If it bo vol? untary, thoy well deserve it; if it be involuntary and forced upon tnem, tho justice of God and man will come to their deliverance il en of the South, exhaust every peaceful means of redress, and when vour oppressions become unendurable, and it is demonstrated that thero ia no other hope, then strike for your liberty, and strike as did your fathers in 1776, and as did the Hollanders and Zea? landers, led by William the Silent, to break their chains, forged by the tyrants of Spain. 888 WANTS^ TITAKTED, A WHITE GIRI.

ROBSON, No. 62 East Bay. ANALYSIS OF SWAN ISLAND GBANO. [COPT.] CHAULES-TON, December 28th, 1800". Afr. Robson, Dear Sir: The sample taken by myself last evening, of tho Swan Island Guano, bas the following constituents: Phosphate of Lime.41.00 Organic (Vegetable) Matter. 8.40 Carbonate of Lime. 1.50 Soluble Salts, chiefly Chlorides of Calcium, Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium, with Sulphates of the samo bases, ali taken together, about a per cent. Si Matter, insoluble in acids, mostly Silica, sud silica with Per-Oride of Iron. 16.25 Water (expelled at 212 deg). 82.80 100.46 Tho chemical and mechanical conditions of this Guano flt lt admirably for thc purposes of tho planter, particu? larly for cotton and corn crops. The Phosphate of Lime ls almost as finely divided as when coming from dis? solved bonos or decayed cotton seed. The whole of it will therefore bo likely to be appropriated by planters tbs first year, provided it is not applied in too large propor? tions. The proportion of water is about 8 per oent. abovo what might have boen expeutod, but at the price demanded lt is still one of tho cheapest fertilizers I havo ever known offered in this market Mixed with from 6 to 10 per cent, best Peruvian Guano, I should anticipate tho most satisfactory returns.
