The New York. Ihnes suggests to General GRANT

According to French papers, agricultural statis
\ tics for that country are not very brilliant for 1866.:
The corn crop was small; wine was abundant but.
poor; potatoes are rotting, and tobacco is similarly'
Affected; nuts are scarce, and Bilk culture amounts
to nothing. Crops of cider, hemp and colza, are,1
however, good.
Farm laborers in England get eleven, shillings,
per week and two quarts of cider per day, and

laborers. An English shilling is equal to twenty
three cents in gold. -

? truthful and a beautiful baronet; three bishops,

The warm weather of the past few days has pro?

.- The coins intended hythe United States Govern?
ment for the Paris Exposition were finished on the
14th. Their manufacture was trusted to the Mint of
Philadelphia. They consist in sets in duplicate of
each of the coins of ?he country-gold, silver,
nickel and bronze. The gold coins are double
eagles, eagles, half eagles, three dollars, and two
and-a-half and one-dollar pieces. The silver coins
are a dollar, half dollar, quarter, dime, half dime,

A railroad train in the South of France that had
been stopped by a heavy fall of snow, was attack?
ed by a number of famished wolves, who had been
attracted by the smell of cattle on board. The
"beasts besieged tbe men who were watching, and
after resorting to all manner of means to frighten
them, the men beat a hasty retreat, but were close?
ly followed by the hungry wolves. They got safely
into the car, however, and soon after the retreat of
the Volves the night was made hideous by the yells i
and howls of the cattle, which continued until the 11
' blockade was removed and the train was once more
ja motion.

"CHARLESTON.
MONDAY MORNING-, FEBRUARY 18,18G7.
THE ROPKR HOSPITAL.
By reforonce to our advertising colunins of this
morning, it will bo seen that the Board of Trustoes
of the Roper Hospital officially announce the open?
ing this day of their favorito institution. In by?
gone days this hospital used to bo deservcilly
popular, and under the same experienced Board of
Directors, it will aga'n become so. It is tho only
building within the city limits suitable for an hos?
pital, and was built with special care to tho com?
fort and health of its inmates. Tho sick who seek
an asylum under its roof will not only find every
comfort and attention from its officers, but will be
surrounded by cheerful scenes to divert their
minds. To the building is attached a handsome
flower garden, and from its numerous piazzas a
beautiful view of tho distant river and islands can
be enjoyed. The usefulness of the establishment
is so well known, and the comfort of the inmates
so constantly studied, that we expect soon to hear
of its wards being filled with grateful patients.
Besides the poor sick, to whom the wards aro al?
ways open, tho building contains a number of
chambers into which are received pay patients.
I Such can here find excellent accommodation, g ood
food, professional nursing, and skilled medical at?
tendance, all for the small charge of one dollar
per day, which sum includes everj'thing. Strangers
visiting the city, when taken sick, should bear this
in mind. When sick, away from friends, they can
obtain all the comforts of home at the Roper Hos?
pital, and have their medical attendance included
for one-fourth the amount paid for board in an
hotel. Any sick person can gain admission into
this Hospital by obtaining an order from the
Mayor, or from any one of. tho . members o F the
Board of Trustees. Special wards are assigned to
colored persons, and the same care bestowed upon
them as upon the white patients.
Mr. ROPER, to whose beneficence tho city is in?
debted for this noble charity, instructed his exe?
cutors to extend the comfDI ts of his Hospital to
all applicants, whether white or black, citizens or
strangers. In carrying out his instructions the
Trustees of the Institution will welcome any suf?
ferer.
The following gentlemen comprise tho Board of
Trustees ; Dr. J. J. CRTSOLM, Chairman; Drs. E.
BORLBECK, J. JEBVEY, T. J. PBIOLEAU, J. P. CHAZ
Aii, H. W. DESAUSSUBB, F. T. MILES, and W. T.
WRAOO, Secretary and Treasurer.
REFORM IN ENGLAND.
. On Monday last the mob. vulg., known as the Re?
form League in London, had another "grand open
air" demonstration. Mr. DISRAELT, th c. Chancellor
of the Exchequer, that same evemng, as if {utimi
datedhy the.monster procession, announced in the
House of Commons that the Government meant to
take op the question of reform at once, asking
only two weeks for themselvesandt?^artieAioJ
prepare for the^gsil?.^^?~??agii^^^^r "man?
hood suffrSge," but this, it is pretty certain, they
wfll not yet get. There will doubtless be a conces
[ sion of further political privileges-and the privi?
lege of tho electivo franchise will be given to many
now excluded-but conservatism has still a strong?
hold in England; and they will bo slow to adopt
such Jacobin principles of policy, especially as
they have a striking example of their working in
the distracted condition of America.
SOUTH AMERICAN A FF ATES.-The nows from South
America contains the usual variety of warlike and
insurrectionary rumors. There is serious trouble
in the United States of Colombia. President MOS?
QUERA has made himself obnoxious to the Con?
gress-that body following the example of its great
prototype and model of the North, talkB about
"impeachment." This unpleasant ceremony the
President proposes to avoid by preventing Con?
gress from meeting. The quarrel, it is expected,
will be an interesting one, and residents of Bogota,
the capital, are moving away that they may enjoy
it from a distance. The American Minister having
also had a difficulty with MOSQUERA, was preparing
to dop LI t, and a general revolution in the State is
reported imminent. Brazil and Paraguay are re
newing their contest with vigor, and the former
Government, it is said, had offered to emancipate
20,000 slaves, provided they would enter the army
now organizing to march against Paraguay. The
end of the war scorns as remote as ever. There is
a,,rumor that ,LOPEZ .intended declaring- himself
Emperor, and hoped for the recognition a?)d friend?
ship of France. It would take half-a-dozen pro?
phets to foretell tho result of South American dis
sensions, and reveal the future of that unhappy
country._
THE AMAZON.-This greatest river of the South
American region, destined to be a seat of empire
at some day equalling, perhaps, that of the great
valley of the Mississippi, is attracting more and
more the attention of the civilized world. Prof.
AGASSIZ, who, under advantageous auspices, made
extended Brazilian explorations a year or two ago,
aided by a proper scientific corps, is now lecturing
on the subjeot in New York. He describes the pe
culiarities of the Amazon and its affluents, and
gives an interesting account of tho natural pro?
ducts of that fertile region, and adds an earnest
plea for the extension of American commerce in
the Brazils. He presents, with much force, the
new'openings for commercial enterprise which are
afforded by the free navigation of the Amazon;
Bpeaks particularly of the three hundred varieties
of hard woods growing in Amazonian forests, tito
introduction of which into the world's market?,
for building purposes, would be of the utmost
value; alludes to the waste of native productions
by the present indolent population, and warmly
urges the necessity of establishing settlements in
the valley of the Amazon, in order to develop its
immense resources.
THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY.-During the de?
bate on the WTLITAMS Reconstruction Bill, Mr.
BANKS, of Massachusetts, after opposiug that
measure on various grounds, said "it was impos?
sible that the Government shored go on for threo
years longer, or two and a ha1? years, or two years,
without approaching the verge of rivn. Business
was suspended now. The people were oppressed
with taxes. Laborers were thrown out of employ?
ment. Every *h;ng wa3 unsettled. Ino wisest
mancoe'd not look to tho future without appre?
hension, if not without fepr. The future was full
of danger, and rather than face that danger for
two and a-half or three yeprs longer the repre?
sentatives of the people woi^.d bo obi;ged to con?
sider the condition of tho country and what course
of conduct was necessav/ for the safety of the
Government and the interosts of the people."
As WE expected, Radicalism ?B already beginning
to sneer at Mr. PEABODY'S recent munificent gift
for educational purpose ? in the South. His failure
to specify in a pai Ocular manner the beloved :r-;ced
men, is not at all satisfactory. Last week tho In?
quirer, of Philadelphia, opened its batteries, by
attacking that portion of tho gift which includes
the bonds ofthe Planters' Bank of Mississippi, and
coolly asserted that "the rul-'ng popu^tion of the
South is not honest."
SHARP.-Tuesday the Philadelphia Ledger con?
tained the following exceedingly proper allusion to
?ankee enterprise:
The newspapers arc universally complaining
that the speeches delivered at tho recent meeting
in Boston for aid to the people ol' Candia have
been p. inted in P. pamphlet, to be sold for the
benefit of tho suffering Cretaus and read by the
suffering Americans. Tho Boston philanthropists
thus gain a little cheap notoriety, tho rest of the
country paring the expense-a sharp New ling
land trick that lias been played several times be?
fore. ___
GEORGE BANCROFT, "the great historian," has
been appointed Collector for thc Port of Boston in
place of General COUCH, rejected by the Senate.
The refusal of that body to confirm a gallant sol?
dier is only another evidence of thc hypocrisy of
the Radicals in their professed love for "the boys
in blue." If tho duties of Collector will stop
GEORGE from writing "history" for a little while,
ais confirmation will bc a public bonefk, and we
?rust that it will be speedily effected.
