Cotton closed in Now York at 34 cents for Mid? dling Uplands. Latos t quotations from Livotpool, January 30, noon, ?how Middling Uplands at 145 J Hr. BALDWIN, of Massachusetts, is the largest man in Congress. Crime is increasing fa?t in Illinois. The peni? tentiary has 1100 convicts, or 80 per cent, more than two years ago. The roceipts from Internal Revenue on Saturday were 9565,930.18, malting the total amount received during the week $3,400,776.35. JOHN MORRISSEY has bought tm interest in a Troy newspaper. JOHN will speedily "como down to white chip j," as Beau HICKMAN would say, if no {roes very deeply into the newspaper business. Mr. HENRY S. ALLEN has become a partner viith Mr. GEOEOE W. CAULETON. The firm is now known as G. W. CARLETON & Co., and continuos tho book publishing business at its new store, No. 499 Broadway, New York. The country of Europe in which tho greatest number of marriages takes place is Saxony, whore the average is 1 yearly to every 117 inhabitants. The proportion in Spain is 1 in 126. ' In Franco the rate is 1 in 127. A communication from Saxony states that the cost of the war to that kingdom will amount lo eighty millions and a half of francs, without reck? oning the enormous losses suffered by tra do and commerce. Prof. HENEY W. LONGFELLOW, Br. SAMUEL G. HOWE, Mr. EDWARD QUINCY, Prof. OLIVER WEN? DELL HOLMES, JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL, JAMES T. FIELDS, EDWIN P. WrnrPLE, and Mr. MEFRTTT TRIMBLE, of New York, acted as pall-bearers at the funeral of N. P. WILLIS, in Boston, last Thursday. A new paper mill, capable of turning out four tc six tons da?y, is about to be started at Black Rock, near Buffalo. A new process of manufacturing called the "Mooch process," whereby paper is made from grasses, is to be introduced. It is claimed that good printing paper can be mado foi four cents a pound. Mrs. MARGARET HAWLEY, who keeps a small newspaper stand inside the Fulton Ferry, New York, makes a not gain of from $125 to SSOO poi week. In ono day sixty dollars aro often cloarcd. She hos thus been ablo to educate ber childrcr handsomely, and to lay by more than forty thou sand dollars. An officer in the army in the Indian country sends a letter to a friend in Lockport, which con tains the following cheerful passage: "Iwoulc send you a lock of my hair, but I fear it would tx a fraud upon the savages of this vicinity. Thew is a fair prospect that one of those noble red mor will be my barber before Spring." For the week ending the 26th instant, Nation?. Bank currency to the amount of $104,275 was is sued by the acting Comptroller. The total circu? lation issued up to date is $300,907,890; actual cir? culation $298,748,964, for which securitios are hel? as follows: For circulation, $340,514,000, and foi deposits, $38,761,450. Total securities held, $379, 275,450. Mr. LEONARD W. JEROME, the fashionable stool broker, is the social lion of New York. Every daj almost he delights that excitable community with some novel sensation. He has just started a sleigh, called the Monitor, which is described at little else than a beautiful boat on runners, witt erect prow and graceful stern, miniature guns pro? jecting on either side, both an ornament and de? fence. The crew COL sists of twenty ladies. Tho National Republican says: "We are author? ized to announce that the President will hold his second public levee this season on Thursday ove? rling, the 7th of February, and the third on Friday evening, February 22-to commence each overling at eight o'clock, and io close at cloven. Wo are also authorized to announce that tho President's daughters, Mrs. PATTERSON and Mrs. STOVES, will be at home on Monday afternoons." A Bev. Mr. GILBERT HAVEN, in this week's Inde? pendent, has discovered a plan to settle at once ali our political and social differences. The substance of it all is that "the nation must cease to usc the words 'freedmen,' and 'colored,' and 'white,' and know only that of men and brethren." Why can? not Congress declaro by resolution that there are xto black men, and that the notion is an optical illusion ? By the will of ELI W. GTNNE, the groat "Cattle King" of Ohio, rocontly deceased, one son receives a farm of 3300 acres, worth $50 per acre, and. ano. JJ_t. ,.-Eo. j?y luff provi? sions of the will, these largo farms cannot be sold during the lifetime of his sons, and are to be,con? stantly stocked with at least aos.ooo mimi or Cattle Mach. The importations into New York during 18G6, ex? clusive of specie, were valued in gold at $297,000, 000. Some of the principal articles were as fol? lows : Dry goods, $126,000,000; sugar, $21,581,117; leather, $12,480,556; iron, $5,180,163; lead, $2.485, 340; molasses, $3,G1G,L5; earthenware, $2,609,378; steel, $2,949,349. Prussia rewards her public servente with no niggardly hand. On Christmas Eve presents . voted by the Prussian Chambers were paid over to vari- ! ons generals and statesmen. Count BISMARCK re? ceived $375,000 and the Prussian War Minister, Gen. VON ROON, Gen. VON MOLTKE, Gen. VON BITTENrTELD, Gen. TON STEINMETZ and Gen. VOGUE VON FALKENSTETN received $150,000 each. The debt of the United States may beset down in round nnmbprs at three thousand vn?iHmm of dollars. This, if all in silver dollars, weighing one | ounce each, would amount to one hundred and twenty-five thousand tons, and woull require a train of wagons, loaded with a ton each, three hundred and fifty miles in length,- to draw it. That skating hos become f ashionable exercise ia evident from the following statements as to the materials consumed during, the present year in one skate factory at Worcester : two tens of brass, 6000 gross of screws, 50,000 brass thimbles, 1000 poonda of German silver, nearly six tons of rose? wood, and ten tons of-steel, worked np by thirty five men and women into 25,000 pair of skates? ~ Great fortunes have not ucfrequently been real? ized by the invention of some toy for children which meets the approval ' of the juvenile critics. The inventor of the common street toy known as the "Return Ball" is said to "have realized $100, 000." The inventor of the ."Walking DoU," wh^ch was so fashionable a few years ago, mode $75,100 by his patent. The- dancing "Jim Crow" toy,-'-In? troduced about two years ago, was invented by an invalid boy, and won a fortune. The daily consumption of oysters in Paris ?mounts to upward of three-quarters of a million, Tfbich reach the capital in something like six thousand baskets, each of which contains a g?tts, find furnishes altogether on an average liairan oyster per head or the population. The nurnher o? mails-now so favorite and edible with the^Pa ria-an gourmands as to have thrown the frog, the natic jal delicacy par excellence, completely into the euade-brought daily to the Paris market, is not no easily ascertained; all one knows is that from Burgundy and Champagne, ?he groat snail producing districts, upward of ono hundred thou? sand are dispatched to Paris every day. % A dispatch from Chicago, January 22d, says: "It is satisfactorily ascertained to-day that the Opera House has been drawn by U. H. CROSBY himself. He held the 30,000 tickets which remain? ed unsold. The reports of other parties having drawn it are for tho purpose of gaining time, and o allow the excitement to subside. The result lifts Mr. CROSBY from bankruptcy to a fortune of nearly a million dollars. There has been no complaint as to the fairness of the drawing. Ti e twenty thousand dollar picture-the Yosemite Valley-was drawn by Mr. CROSBY himself.'' The following description is given of the.com juiinder-m-chief of tho Argentine anny, by the cor? respondent of the Tribune : "Brigadier-General SABTBOLXMEV MITRE, ccrmrnander-in-chicf of tho allied forcea, and President of the Argentine re? public, has rare qualities for a commander. He is deliberate, brave, reserved until approached, and then cordial, of few words, upright and indo^ fatigable. He is a lawyer, a poet,. an author o military tactics, a historian and an orator. He is fond of books, and he has at home a magnificent library. On the centra table of bia study he hos ? large family Bible, presented to him by the American Bible Society. For many years ho has been the head of his party, having always been at ibo head of the Provisional or of the National army, nineo his first prc motion."

CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31,18C7. W?I.VT C01VST?T?TES A STATE ? Wo ?hail not nnnwer tho question in Sir 'WIL? LIAM JONES' sublime mid thrilling linos. They would he out of place at this day and in this coun? try. We only propose making; somo observations, and instituting a few comparisons, suggested by tho events passing around us. Before tho war wc thought wo had some idoa cf what wcro tho neces? sary prerequisites to a Torritory becoming a State of this Union. Now wo must confess our ignorance on all those paints; nay, wo do not oven know the numbor of States that at present compriso this Union, whether twenty-six, thirty-six, or thirty eight, ir vhs "Districts" lately known as tho "Re? bel" States aro counted there are thirty-six, we be liovo, in all; and if Nebraska and Colorado are mado Statoo, in spite of thomsolves, and over tho President's veto, we shall have thirty-eight. And if so, tho President's prediction, contained in his recent veto message, will doubtless bo fulfilled, and we shall soon hoar of the States of Idaho, Nevada, Dacotah, Washington, Arizona, etc., otc, for tho "consent of the govornod" appears to be no longer a consideration with our law-makers at Washington. Given tho merest Radical foothold in a State or Territory, tho faintest hopo of elect? ing two Radical Sonators and a ditto Representa? tive, and the Territory at once becomes a Stato, whether a majority of tho population of Baid Ter? ribly desire it or not. If the "nation" must have Territories, why let tho "States lately in rebellion" occupy that position, at loast until they aro con? verted from thc orror of thoir ways, and shall have entirely abjurod thoir late and present political heresy. But let us soo how this process of regeneration is brought about, and how it works, after it is fairly in operation. Fortunately wo aro not with? out on example. Tho State of Tonnosseo affords a most lamentable illustration. Wo all remember her history during the war. There, alone of all tho States of our late Confederacy, the revolution assumed the form of a civil war. Tho population of East Tennessee was hostile to the Southern cause, and tho bitterest feelings, in many coses the most malignant hatred, were engendered be twoon former friends and neighbors. With the end of tho war, thero was, unfortunately, not an end to strife. There is to-day no safety in East Ten? nessee for an ex-Confodorate. Ho has not thc shadow of a chanco to obtain justico at tho courts of the country. This assertion is based upon the testimony of an impartial witness. A few woeke ago wo republished in Tin NEWS along letter from the Knoxville correspondence of tho N. Y. Times, giving the fullest particulars of the condition oi affaira in East Tonnosseo. We deeply regret that this should bo the case, but cannot bo surprised at it. With BROWNLOW for Governor, one of the most violent, malignant and unscrupulous political fanatics the world has over known,-four-fifths of the people disfran? chised, and Radical emissaries continually at work to keep up and foment this strife, and Radical sub? sidios sent thero to defray the expenses of such agitation,-tho result cannot be otherwise. Yot Tennosseais held up to us by our Northorn breth? ren as the model of Southern Republicanism, tho pattern we must all follow. How tlie Constitutional Amendment was passed last summer by tho Legislature of Tennessee, our readors all doubtless remember. "Bngadier-Gon erol" BROWNLOW is quito competent, and certainly not too squeamish, to pick him a Legislature of thc "right sort," and enforco the presenco of ob? streperous members, in order to have a quorum. Tho Radical leaders need but tell him what is wonted at any t ime, and he will find tho ways and means to accomplish it. BROWNLOW will bo a for? midable rival to B. F. BOTLEB at tho noxt Presi? dential election. It was this same Legislature that voted and recently presented a medal to Con. THOMAS for his gallant defence of Nashville. The uowspapers tell us that tho day it was presented waa observed as a great jubilee in the loyal city of Nashville. By a parity of reasoning, it is fair to infer that when we shall be a "State" our Legislature will vote medals to Gen. GILMORE for procuring those fSwamp] Angels' Visits for Ch?j-1""*- "; ; '""""""> -Cw. ,on uorlar -between,-and to Gen. SHER? MAN for his gallant dofence of our capitol. But we hope thc name oT South Carols- ~ai ir= oiott *d o?iuf.,v?.ai oay arrives. We sholl prefer'to read of South Carolina in hor glorious past, and let the new Radical miscegenated Legislature have some other name for the reconstructed State. But let us look a little more closely into the modus operandi of this political regeneration. Jow is it done ? Meetings aro held in out of tho way placos, in tho dead hours of night-a strict watch kept at the door to admit none but the in? itiated. Four or five whito3 and twenty-five or thirty colored freedmen compose the assembly. Of the whites present, not ose, probably, will be found to be to the manor born. They ore stran? gers all-come here for the purposes of private gain. We deny them not the rights of citizenship, nor equal rights of any kind; but we must think it preposterous for a few strangers, ignorant of the wants or wishes of our people, and certainly not m sympathy with any part of them, to presume to overthrow the existing government, and to dictate to 800,000 of their fellow-citizens, the real people of the State, what their laws, etc., shall be. We know not what is the legal delnitio ; of a conspi? racy; hut, to our unlearned mind, this procedure looks precisely like a plot, or what wo understand by the term conspiracy. A petition is drawn up_ it may be by a colored lawyer, or it may be by a white missionary-the petition is numerously signed and sent to Washington. Mr. SUMNER rises in the Senate, and prtaents the petition of nume? rous respectable and highly influential citizens of South Carolina, asking that Congress establish a Republican form of government in that State. He. will then pull forth sovoral letters out of his left side coat pocket, which ho has just received from republican friends residing in Charleston, which corrobora to every statement set forth in the peti? tion, etc., etc. We8hould like to know how much money has been sont hero for this political converting pur? pose. It seoms to be taken for "granted at tho North that Radical votes oannot be had without monoy. Tho following, in regard to Tennessee, is from a recent editorial article in (ho New York Evening Post,-one of tho most moderate of Radical papors ; and our readers will soe from this extract that neither our roars, suspicions nor asser? tions, aro groundless : Tennessee is far away from ns. Our people aro ? not familiar with all the details of tho strncelefor political ascendency which has been going on there. But it is necessary that we should tale a lively interest m it Money is needed there for the support of tho loyal press, which are vigor? ously and ably conducted; our abl?st and most effective public speakers should go down there to address tho people; Northern journals and docu? menta should be sent down there to all who will read; in short, it is the duty, as it is the interest of tho Republican party, to make Tennessee, dur? ing lbw winter, spring and summer, the intellec? tual battle-ground on which, with voioo and pen wo may assert and maintain the ideas which must provail over the greatest part of thia country be? fore w0 can have a real peace, and which aro there 1"L ct 18,sue8 "? ?*e political canvass. In Ten by Northern men as any one of the lOiaT s?22 was during the last summer and m. 8tatoa OUR NORTHERN exchanges are flUed with moat indignant accounts of the conduct of tho Demo? crats and "Copperheads" in Congress, on the oc? casion of the rccont "field day," ponding tho dis? cussion of the Bill reported hy the Judiciary Com? mittee in tho House, requiring attorneys practicing in the United States Courts to take tho test oath. The Radicals are ont of all conceit with the Domo crate for not submitting to thoir fate with the usual good grace. It ia so long since the minority baa shown any flglit,.Uiat the dominant party have como to think their right of dictation most not be questioned, and they are accordingly shocked at tho conduct of the said Democrats, who "could not see H," and kept tho dictators ?ll night in their seats. Wo are sorry we cannot sympathize in this matter with our friends of the Northern press. WANTS. ?VTTANTED, A slt'UVrlON BY ARESPKCT VV ALE WHITE FEMALE.
