Cotton waa quoted in Liverpool at 14d. for Mid? dling Uplands. The New York Cotton market was quoted at 31ia 32c. Gold closed at S6|. * The papers have recently announced that "J. N." is dead. "J. N." denies the affirmation in a letter to the Stanton, Virginia, papers. There are over twenty thousand barrels of salt accumulated on the Kanawha River, awaiting the opening of navigation. Hon. G. 8. "WILLIAMS, of Shreveport, formerly of FOLK'S staff, has been elected United States. Senator by the Louisiana Legislature. VICTOS COUSIN has left his library, valued at $50,000, to the Sorbonne, in Paris, with a fund for its maintenance. Massachusetts has one convict to every hundred citizens; Alabama has one convict to every five thousand three hundred and ninety citizens. Eighteen thou*.-nd prairie chickens were shipped from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to Liverpool, England, last week, and on. Thursday last sis tons were shipped East from Deamoines. Hon. GEORGE BANCROFT has declined the nomi? nation ot Collector of Customs at Boston. Hon. D. W. GOOCH and Mr. CLIFFORD are strongly urged for the position. The Pennsylvania Railroad Company have is? sued ? series of proposals offering a subsidy for jibe establishment of a fortnightly line of steamers to run direct between Philadelphia and Liverpool. The distress among the poor of London, Liver? pool and other large centres bf population in Eng? land continues to increase, rather than diminish. In some places soup-houses afford much relief. A fine portrait of the distinguished and lamented General Bishop POLE, from the pencil of J. li. STUART, is on exhibition in Savannah. It was originally painted for the late Bishop ELLIOTT. Verona, Saltillo and Gupelo, Miss., are contend? ing far the location of the seat of the new County of Lee, which has just been erected out of Ponto toc and Ito wamba. A writer of table talk in the Guardian says that AT.TOTO TENNYSON is busy on a poem, longer and on a grander. scale than his last. The name of this poem has been stated to be "The Death of Lucretius." There were three large fires in Memphis last Sunday night, all attributed to incendiaries. The Memphis Argus and Commercial office made a narrow escape, having suffered to the extent of about $3000. / It is reported that the Bishop of Exeter is" about io resign bis bishopric,' on account of his preat age, and that Archdeacon HARRIS, a brother of the Earl of Malmesbury, is Kkely to nave the appoint? ment. - The 'Chicago Journal, in an article on the de? cline of rents in that city, says in every direction can be seen houses ticketed "For Bent," the high figures demanded having driven ihe late occupants into "rooms" or smaller houses. Since> the complaints aroused by the stripping and flogging of young :v?ies in the Massachusetts ' schools, a new method of punishment has been adopted, which consists of opening the child's mouth and filling it with Cayenne pepper. Irish criminal statistics indicate a better moral condition. The year 1865 presented a smaller number of persons for trial than any year during the last ten, being a reduction of 31 per cent, on those of 1856, or 22 per cent., allowing 12 per cent for the reduction pf the population. There are now about 4,000,000 acres of land in? closed in California, and about 1750,000 under culti? vation. ' These are fiar larger areas of occupied and improved/land than were ever before reported. Three years ago the amount of land under cultiva? tion waa only 1,197,984 acres. Mr. L. L. DORSET, of Louisville, part owner of "Ovid Dust" has challenged the owner of "Dexter, ' the famous trotter, through the Turf; Field and Farm of thia week, to trot three races <*or $1000 each, the heats to be one mile, two m flee .und thies miles, to wagon weighing one hunaied and twenty-five pounds. The most cursory reader of the newspapers of the day must have noticed that of late crime has fearfully increased in the land. Like the Eastern scourge, it appears to visit us in an epidemic form. And what is more noticeable, its ravages are not confined to any one particular section, but appears to be universal in their sweep. The, Kingston, C. W., Daily News states that gold has been discovered in the township of Loug borough, ft, lit lie to the northeast of that, city. It is algo^nnoanced that gold has been discovered in the township of Victoria, and there is every reason to believe that gold is to be found in the region ly? ing between those two points, which are about 100 miles apart.' In view of the enormous frauds practiced by the whiskey distillers in New York, the Washington Republican fears that Congress will be driven to the expedient of placing the distilling districts under military rule, abolishing habeas corpus and detailing West Pointers to scent ont the enormous frauds perpetrated in the manufacture of toddy for the million. Private letters received in New York say that THOMAS CARLYLE intends paying America a visit this year. 'CARLYLE has done much to alienate the i feelings of our people recently, but no doubt he would be well received as one of the great thinkers of the time. The letters say he has at heart a sin? cere admiration of the United States and its citi? zens, and is extremely anxious to kno w more ol' them. The Mathias Republican says a man by the name of BRYANT, becoming dissatisfied with his wife, last week called upon an auctioneer, and the wife And furniture in his house was sold at public auc? tion. The wife was sold for ten dollars. Some time before next morning the husband and wife made np their troubles, and BRYANT refused to de? liver to the purchaser the wife and furniture. Wo stated, yesterday, that not a single steamer or sailing vessel was in course of construction in -New York, Jersoy City cr Brooklyn. We, however, learn that a new ?hip of 1400 tons, built for Messrs. LEARY, at a cost o? $125,000, will be launched about the 1st March, freights at New York were improving, and hopes are entertained of a bettor business for our mercantile marine. The greot body of the Indians on the plains are moving southward. Those who are familiar with Indian strategy say this means ww: that the Indians have knowledge of the troops that are being sent out, and are moving south to open the -war in that less protected region; but when the troops are sent after them, they will dash north again and spread devastation and murder in the region thus left uncovered. The origin of the portrait, for the Goddess of Liberty upon ow coins is of great interest. Mr. SPENCER, the inventor of Spencer's lathe, used by the American Bank Note Company, was the artist who cut the first die for our American coin. He cut an exact medallion of Mrs. WASHINGTON, the wife of General WASHINGTON, and the first few coins were struck with her portrait. When Gen. WASH? INGTON saw them be was displeased, and request? ed the figure to be removed. Mr. SPENCER altered the features a little, and putting a cap upon its head, called it the Goddess of Liberty. -The Memphis Avalanche notices the case of Col. HARBUT, formerly, of the Confederate army, who is Howdying in the City Hospital in Memphis from the effects of having swam the Mississippi in es? caping from a band of jay hawkers. After the war he returned to bis "home 'at Waverly, Missouri, contrary to the advice of his friends, as he had been outlawed by ti ie Radical Legi slature. He reached the spot to find his dwelling a smoulder? ing rain, it having been set on fire, and his chil? dren having been burned alive in it. While he was gathering their remains he was set upon by a party of over a hundred men, from whom he bare? ly escaped in the manner stated. . XroriDg a revival in a church in Alleghany, Pa., un Tuesday night, two females happened to get .iato. the same pew, one of whom was a married woman, and who strongly suspected the other with laving alienated the affections of her husband. Upon catching a glimpse of the single female, she .sprang upon ber, and a general hair-pulling and scratching followed. A great commotion in the .church ensued, and the females were finally eject? ed. The assaulted party appeared before Mayo. MORRISON yesterday, and wanted to make an in? formation against her assailant for disorderly con? duct, bnt his Honor refused to take it.

CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 20, 18C7. DEATH OP THE MILITARY BILL. In our telegraphic columns, to-day, will be seen a dispatch from Washington, announcing the de? feat, in the House, of Senator SHERMAN'S amend? ment to Mr. STEVENS' Bill for the reconstruction of the Southern States, by a vote of 73 to 98. This, it is thought, will end the reconstruction business for the present session ; fer even if a Committee of Conference should be anointed, thoro is not sufficient timo left for them to agree upon a com? promise, that will be likely to be acceptable lo both Houses. Tbs consideration of such compromise measure in Congress, would again consume much time, and it is morally impossible, therefore, for Congress to pass any bill, within the next two or three daj-s; for if not passed by both Houses until after the expiration of that period, thc President need not return it with or without veto, as tho law allows him ten days for the consideration of any bill, Sundays not included. We may, therefore, take for granted, that the members of the Thirty Ninth Congress will go out of office, leaving recon? struction where they found it. The whole work, with all its turbulent agitation, will have tobe done over by the Fortieth Congress, that meets on the .1th of March. Or it may be that the question of the President's impeachment will occupy the first attention of that body, unless the rumor be correct, that the President has indeed swung round the circle, and, "for the sake of peace," is ready to fall into the arms of the Radicals. Why Senator SHERMAN'S amendmont was de? feated, it is not easy to say. Most probably be? cause the definite proviso for an ultimate readmis? sion of the Southern States was altogether unpalatable to the extreme Radicals, who, there? fore, voted with the Democrats for the defoat of the measuze. In this there is nothing for us to regret. True, the constant agitation in which our affairs have been involved during the past two years, ?B very unsatisfactory, and decidedly in? jurious to business of every character. But, bad a3 it is, our present condition is far preferable to the several schemes and measures that have boon J proposed by the hate Congress for our government. It may be,-we still entertain a faint glimmer of such hope,-that ere the next Congress can per? fect a reconstruction bill, wiser counsels may pre? vail, and that the threatened ruin may thus be al? together averted from us. In another column of our paper this morning, will be found the full text of SHERMAN'S Bill. THE SEASON. The past few days have gone far to indemnify ns for the unusual gloom ot the winter, whose re? treating footsteps are on the borders of our land. The landscape is bathed in sunshine, the air is balmy, the Buds are opening everywhere, and our woods will soon be' musical with those notes which seem to have caught their mellowness from the air in which they are breathed.. Even now the soft breeze is redolent with the jessamine, and, before the sun reaches his burning point, our land will lay aside its dull, russet hue, and become gay with bright tropical color.". Spring commences on the twenty-first day of March ; so the Almanac says. But this is a mis I take, and we aro prepared to prove it. The earth, the air and skies, birds and bees, trees and flow " era-all volunteer their testimony to the effect that the almanac man is behind the times. Spring has already set in. About a week ago our community was taken by surprise, on finding that the winter was gone, and that the year had entered on its vernal quarter. Spring has ever been the favorite, the preferred season of the year. Autumn, with its horn of plenty, Summer, with its waving fields of yellow coin, and even Winter, each has peculiar charms. But Spring appeals more exclusively to the sense ol' the beautiful. The enjoyment derived from this season, the pleasure bestowed by its generous hand, extends to every department of nature. It is the morning of the year. In all ageB and in all climes, by people of every degree of civilization, have the charms of Spring been sung. From SOLOMON and HOMES down to the present Laureate of England, or the humblest of the MUSES' sons every poet in evory lange ge bas burst into in? voluntary song, and celebrated tho beauties of Spring. We in the South enjoy a milder and much longer spring, than our less favored brethren of tho North, where cold weather not unfrequently lin? gers until May, and summer follows close upon the heels of winter. Our winters aro mild, and we not unfrequenily enjoy soft and balmy breezes in December and in January; and spring general? ly sets in about the middle of February. The fie? ?B and woods are covered with a tapestry of the most delicate shades of green. Tho plum and the sweet bud are among tho first of our trees to throw off grim winter's icy chains, and burst into a joyous life of fragrant bloom. Tho violet and the cowslip, the buttercup and daisy hero and there make their presence known, delighting young and old, the simple and the wise. (If we have not the genuine English daisy, we have several little flowers that resemblo it, and some of them ai e popularly known here by that name. ) The hedges puj; forth their green leaflets, and the buds on the trees that have been swelling for some weeks, now burst into leaf and blossom. The weeping willow with us is one of the first harbingers of spring. It hastens to don its fairy mantle of pale and deli? cate gretm. The sombro hues of tho pine, the cedar and tho live, oak no longer delight the eye when con? trasted with the fresher hues of more living green. The birds appear Lto be the first to recognize the return of the favorite season, and to chirp its praises. Th robin sings his matins with the dawn of day; the noisy, chattering blackbird, the most sociable of the feathered tribe, joins his hundreds of sable brothers in the grand chorus-and HAYDN plagiarized of our own mooting bird his beautiful solo, "With Verdure Clad. ' We have no hesitation in sayii .g that during the months of Spring this is the most delightful climate under the sun; best fitted for invalids, and for all who wonldrevel in tho mere pleasure of exis? tence. Persons afflicted with disease ot' tho heart or of the respiratory organs, and indeed of many other forms of disease, will find a winter and spring residence hore very beneficial. Our climato offers to the dwellers of moro Northern latitudes, the same resort as Nice, Naples, Egypt or Madeira fco the pepple of Northern Europe. Hero they will iiave the advantages of a mild, salubrious air; proximity to the sea; rural sports of every descrip? tion, together with all the? concomitants of an old state of civilization and socioty. Charleston, for this same reason, also offers | jreat inducements to merchants from the interior, i ;o come bete and lay in their supplies, in placo of ( ireasting the cold and stormy clime of more north? an cities. We can recommend this course with he mere confidonce, ns we know our wholesale louses are fully prepared to meet the wants of all .?siting friends. Theil" stocks are large, carefully elected, and are offered at as cheap a rate as they ian be sold m New York or Baltimore. The climate is now the only remains of our herit- ? ige. Okr patit history is being rapidly takou from is, and even tradition ia tabooed as sectional and Lisloyal. Our political rights and principles are il gone. Personal liberty is ours only by very ( irecarious tenure. Our houses and lands are held ?nly during the good will and pleasure of those rho love us not. Spring cannot bc confiscated; nd the song of the mocking bird, tbough cssen ially Southern, will not, we trust afc least, be in erdictcd as disloyal and treasonable. Let us, hereforc, indulge in this altogether la.vful p'oa ure, thc only one now left of a strictly Southern haractcr. j Wc will close those random thoughts about pring with tho following beautiful lines of au jionymous poet: ; "O'er trio moistened fields I L tender green is spread; thc bladod ?nass ?hoots forth exuberant; tlx* awaking treen, riiawed by the delicate atmosphere, put forth 1 ?xpanding buds; while, with mellifluous thront, Hie wann ebullience ot internal joy, Phe birds hymn forth a yong of gratitude fo Him who sheltered when the storm were deep, iud ted them through the winter's cheerless gloom."
