Tho New York Cotton market was dull, at 34 for Middling Uplands. It is now said that Hoad Centro STEPHENS has not yet sailed for Europe. A Frenchman in Now Orleans proposes to light all tho street lamps of the city simultaneously. Tho advertising receipts of the St. Louis papers last rear amounted to $500,153. Tho Bound Table considers flirtation anecoscary evil. The snow drifts on the AHeghany mountains are thirty feet high. There aro two hundred funerals daily in Lon? don. A conductor has just been discharged from tho ??ow Haven Railroad, whose "pickings" wore never less than fifty dollars daily. The profits of a San Francisco merchant, who sent a cargo of grain to Philadelphia in the ship David Crocket, are estimated at seventy-five thou? sand dollars. There ?3 a church in Columbus. Indiana, num? bering one hundred and one members, which rais? ed for home missions, the hwt year, two dollars and twenty-fivo cents I" The Maysvike Eagle says that the reports from the wheat crop in all sections of northeaBtorn Kentucky are most encouraging. The usual breadth of land has not been sown, but all that bas been planted is in a splendid condition. Ex-Governor PABSONS, by request, has address? ed the Alabama Legislature in convention in em? phatic opposition to tho Constitutional Amend? ment. The death? by freezing, exposure, and shipwreck daring the recent storm at Boston, all turn out to be canards. Commodore BLAKE was discovered in a house where he had taken Bhelter; the little eohool-girl was also found in a friendly house ; and the crew of the Julia Ann got ashore in safety All's well that ends well. Madame RISTOBI states that the roceipts at her performance Tuesday evening, at the Chicago Opera House, were the largest since her first ap? pearance on the stage-amounting to $4800. Mos? cow ranks second, and Brooklyn third. Of thc $4800, her personal share ia $2C00. Her own per? sonal receipts since her arrival in this country, in September last, have been $136,000. There was to have been a brilliant wedding in New Orleans the other night. The bride came, but after waiting an hour it was found that the bridegroom had decamped with a diamond cross .worth $2500, which he had borrowed of his bride. Being afterwards arrested, confronted with his victim, convicted apon her evidence and put in prison, he tried to hang himself with his handker? chief, declaring that ho did not wish to live any longer. The Austin (Nevada) ReveUle says there is a vein of silver about seventy miles from Austin, in a mountain, and some 3000 foot from the base, stretching out in palpable view the enormous length of 18,650 feet, and width 400 feet. That paper adds : "Of this wonderful vein there is lit? tle exact knowledge, but that it stands out upon the mountain's face a huge palpable fact. It will be developed. And when that day arrives, we be? lieve the Nevada Giant will be regarded as among the wonderful mines of the world." The Wilmington Dispatch of yesterday has the following : "As one of tho moBt encouraging signs of the times, the bill of Mr. MCKA?, of Cumber? land, authorizing a loan of $10,000,000 of gold in Europe by the State, and the establishment of a Savings Bank, is mentioned. This bill is carefully drawn, and its provisions in no wise conflict with the Government banking act. Assurance has been given by tho projectors of this bill that the loan can bo effected in Europe on i'avorable terms, and car. be easily accomplished.'' The Hebrews of Cincinnati support six places of public worship, among which the temple is the largest and costliest in the United States, and a second one ht course of erection will be nearly as magnificent. The attendance at divine worship on Sabbath and holidays is unusually large. There are generally from 1000 to 1500 persons in the tem? ple, including all its prominent members; 700 to 1C00 in the Broadway synagogue; between 400 and 600 persons in each of tho Sherith Israel and Aha bath Achim synagogues; and in the two rented synagogues, we ore told, there ore never less than 200 persons each during divine service. The Baton Bouge Advocate, of the 16th, saj3 : "A friend in this parish, not being able to procuro freedmen lost spring, set to work with his own boys sud one white man, and tho result was a crop of thirty bales of cotton. We would like to know where negro labor has done better. And wo know hundreds if not tho J sands of white men who have labored half their lives in the swamps at farm or other labor, and have only ceased because they got too rich to wish to work. Sickly men, perhaps, cannot, especially such as have lazinoss in their bones. For the latter class wo would prescribe on impartial tread-mill." The latest statistics of the new main-drainage works in Landon ore curious. Tho total length of new sawers at present completed is eighty-two miles, and the works, when finished, will have cost ?4,200,000. The drainage intercepted and carried off by these sewers is derived from on aroa of about ono hundred and sevent: cn square miles, and a population of 2,809,003. The amount of sewerage carried off on the north side of the Thames amounts to 10,000,000, and on tho south .to 4,000,000 cubic feet. In the construction of tho works 318,000,009 bricks and 880,000 cubic yards of concrete have been used, and about 3,500,000 cubic yards of earth excavated. The New Yorkers seem to bo proud of their Repr?sentatives in Congress. One of their papers says: "Hon. ROSCOE CONBUNO, United States Sen? ator from New York, is a man of muscular as well ss mental ability. He is, with the exception per? haps of Gen. BOCBSEAU, the finest specimen of the physical man in the present Congress. He is several inches over six feet in height, with pro port.' late build, And what is more, he is an ac? complished boxer and admirer of tho 'manly art,' though we do not learn that 'he ever put up his hands in the ring. In the next Congress New York will have two Representatives-CONKLINO in the Senate and MOESISSEV. in the House-who can take care of themselves." The Baton Rouge Comet gives the particulars of the death of a negro under circumstances of the most singular character. The negro had been hunting wild hogs, and shot one, but the wound not proving mortal, a straggle took place. The Comet says : "The negro and hog, os wo remark? ed before, wore both found dead-the negro with bis under jaw firmly hold between tho jaws of his formidable antagonist, whose uppor teeth had penetrated within the negro's mouth, while its un? der teeth held fast to the chin o? rho poor darkey, who, in this strange encounter, proved both vic? tim and victimizer." The Standard, published at Clarksvillo, Red River County, Texas, in its issue of the 22d ulti? mo, says: "For two months immigrants in crowds have been going through our Btreets, westward and southwestward, halting long enough to buy some little necessaries of daily use from the stores. The number is great, and the line of march has few intermissions of space or time, except at night. From other routes of travel we hear simi? lar reports. If Texas were considered entitled to represantation in the Congress cf the United State3, her white population would soon give her a broad basis to rest upon. But we welcome the immigrants cordially, and don't caro much for tho repr?sentation, unless accorded to us as a right, instead of a concession by favor." United States Consul EWING, in a letter to the State Department, dated tho Hague. January 1, says about the latter part of November, according to the custom of the Netherlands, the cattle were housed for the winter, since when the rinderpest hos increased, notwithstanding the efforts of the government to arrest its progress. From the 1st to the 18th of December the number of animals attacked exceeded that of the previous week by three hun'';rd. From tho 9th to thc 15th the epi? demic diminished, tho number attacked hoing C073. From the time it made its appearance in the coun? try to the 15th of December, 5i>,000 anim ils died of the disease and 21,000 killed, making the total loss 71,000. Previous to the outbreak ot" the epi? demic beef cattle were largely exported to Eng? land? This exportation has since ceased. All efforts to cure have been fruitless, and the gov? ernment has confined its attention to infected dis Jricte; hui 99 ^t?o Buccess, LARGEST CIRCULATION.-The DAILY NEWS publishes the Official List of Let? ters remaining in thc Postojkc at thc end of each week, ogrecaltlij to the folloicing section of thc Neve Pusto?ec Lair, as thc newspaper having the largest circulation in thc City of Charleston : SECTION 5.

CHARLESTON. FBEDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1, 18C7. VB TO OP THE COLORADO BELL. Ia our exchanges, received last night, vre have the full message of the President, giving his reasons for objecting to the bill to admit Colorado into the Union. The subject being purely of local interest, wo havo thought that there is no occasion for our publishing tho message, as it would not interest perhaps twenty of our readers, and as wo have alroady given a very full synopsis of this document in our telegraphic columns. THE REVOLUTION IN CRETE. We see that great efforts uro being made at the North to procuro material aid for tho suffering Candiotes. If we aro not as enthusiastic in our expressions of sympathy for these Turkish rebels, it may bc because, not many yoars 9ince, we were "rebels" ourselves, and by tho whole world left to fight the battle out by our own unaided efforts. "A fellow-feeling makes us wondrous kind." Per? haps so. We aro not so sure of it. Wo incline to the opinion that a long conree of ill-treatment has a great tendency to make ono callous; and natu? rally so. Having found others indifferent about our trials and sufferinge, it is not to be expected that we should voluntarily, of om* own accord, cccupy ourselves with the woes of the Greeks before we are out of the mire ourselves. When Queen DEDO uttered the sentimont, of which tho above quota? tion from SHAKPPEABE is an elegant translation, she had indo ~d passed through tho trial, hut had come out triumphant, and was in a position to in? dulge in the luxury of compassionating with oth? ers' mscries. It is very meet, indeed, for the phi? lanthropes of the North to be frantic phil-Hellenes, but it is otherwise with us. Still, tho struggle is ono of groat interest, and we like to keep our readors informed in regard to its progress. The Island of Candia, smaller than the State of Connecticut, is now threatening the peace of Eu? rope. Crete, after it had passed from the Greeks, into the hands of the Bomans, underwent a fre? quent change of rulors,-first Bomari pro-consuls, and afterwards Saracens and Gonoete, and was sold in 1204 to the Venetians, under whoso mild sway it enjoyed peace for 400 years. In 1GC9, aftor a fierce war of 24 years, it passed into tho hands of the T?rke. In 1821, when Greece rose against her Moslem rulers, and for mao years waged a war, unparalleled for heroic endurance, and en? listed the sympathies of the world, Crete was the scene of a constant and bloody struggle. The battle of Navarino, in 1827, crushed the Turkish power, and Greece was declared indo pendent by Turkey in 1830. But to compensate the Viceroy of Egypt (the ally of Turkey in that war), tho Euro? pean Powers made him a present of tho Island of Crete, against tho wishes of its people- one of the most heartless cruelties diplomacy htiB ever been guilty of. Li 1840 it was restored to Turkey, under whose rule it has vainly chafed over since. Slight insurrections have occurred during that period, but tho grasp of tho oppressor has been unyielding. A year ago the Christians of that island sent a respectful protest to the Porte, asking for relief from tho burdens imposed upon them. Under the pretext that those very co:nplaints, Turkish and' Egyptian troops wore sent to reduce thom to sub? mission, and, if necessary, to reduce them by ex? termination. They have been shut up in caves and drowned by tho rising tide. No prisoners are taken. Even women and children have boen put to the sword. Turkey knows how to deal with re? bels as well as other countries, which now very in? consistently take the rebels' part. After the Turka commenced this system of extermination, the General Assembly of Crete, in September last, issued tho following decree : .'Faithful to the oath taken in 1821, and to thc will of the whole people, who desire the union and independence of the entire Hellouic race, it is de oreed : "I. Tho sovereignty of Turkey is forever abol? ished in tho whole territory of Croto and tho places appurtenant to it. .II. Tho indissoluble and eternal union of Crete and of all tho places appurtenant to ic, under the .sceptres of his Majecry George I., is hereby pro? claimed. "IEL The execution of the present decree is con? fided to the valor of the generous people of Crete, and the patriotism of our brother Hellenes, wherc ever residing, and in tho liberality of all Philhol ienes, aa well as to the powerful mediation of the great nations, protecting and guaranteeing it, and to tho protection of Almighty God." Undartho inspiration of this declaration thc Christians of Crete havo fought with a valor and a perseverance which savor of the romantic heroism that in its two centuries of resistance to Mohamme? dan rule has made it famous. Thoy nre fighting, not for political powor, but for the right to live; to earn their bread; to protect their families; and to worship God aocording to the dictates of their consciences. Stimulated hy this hope, and provok? ed by thc despair endangered hy failure, they have provod themselves capablo of deliberately sacrifi? cing thair own lives in dostrovinsr their cnomies. Th? story of tho destruction of the monastery of Arkadi can Bcarcoly bo surpassed by the wildest romances of tradition or biston*. This building whioh has, for twelvo hundred years, been tho most important establishment of the kiud in Crete was a magnificent and massive structure. Ita library contained the most valuable manuscripts, and during all the conflicts and revolutions of twelvo centuries, it has never been disturbed hy any of the contestants. It had become the refuge of the Cretans. In Novombor last, it contained one hun? dred and ninety-three men, including sixty-two monks, while three hundred and seventy-three women found refuge within its walls. Six thou saod Turkish troops wero sent against it. Abroach was effected after severe fighting. The court waB seized after moro than half the garrison had perish? ed. In reply toa demand for surrender, a monk, by tho common consent of all tho defenders, thrust a candle into the powder vaults and fifteen hundred monks were blown Into eterni ty with their desporato foes. Thc Turkish Government pretends that the re? bellion has boen subdued, but tho foreign Consuls and Ambassadors know better. Tho Turks are still besieging the Island, and aro preparing to continue their butcheries. Tho Government of Crete has issued another declaration to their fellow-citi? zens asserting the determination of the peoplo to freo themselves or die. Tho revolutionists have flod to the mountains, waiting for ?he return of spring to renew hostilities. So the matter now stands. The Cable brings us dispatches every fow days that the war is over, and that tho Cretans had acccptod tho terms of tho Porte; hut the next telegram generally again contradicts tho news. Thc greatest statesmen in Europe look with anxious eyeo to the East, as tho quarter whence trouble i3 to bo apprehended. It is now gonorally understood that Greece will de? clare war against Turkey, and join with her kin? dred on tho adjacent island. In how far this will have a tendency to involve other powers, it re? mains yet to be seen. A MELANCHOLY EXHIBIT.-Some days ago Gen. HOWARD reported officially lo the Secretary of War the number of freedmon now living in eleven of tho principal late Slaveholditig States, as fol? lows,-ostimating by the latest reports from Iiis subordinates, with thc exception of Mis? sissippi, where a census has boon taken during the past year : Virgiuia.500,000 Nor h Carolina.300.000 South Carolina.37.5.IHHI Georgia.400,000 Florida. 20,11110 Mississippi (by connus).320, nco Lonieiana.350,000 Texas.200,000 Missouri.100,000 Arkansas.100,000 Tennessee.300,000 Total.3,067,000 By turning to the cousus of tho United States for 18G0, it will be seen that tho negro population of these same eleven States in June of that year was 3.33.1000. Comparing this statement with Gen. IIOWABD'S, there appears a deficit of 208,000. This i i hardly, though, a fair estimate. In tho decade between tho years 1850 and I860, the ratio of increase of ?layes in tho eleven Stove States was, iccording to the last census, something more than fifty-two per cent. At this rate, counting for thc past six years, the natural incroaso of tho negroes would have been 1,040,000-and there should, thorofore, have been in June, 18G6,4,375,000, instead of 3,067,0?:0. Thus we have actually A deficit of 1,038,000. What a sad commentary, indeed, upon tho higher law philan? thropists 1 WANTS, ?YOUN G LADY, A NATIVE OF CHARLES?
