There are 8509 students in the various New Eng? land colleges this year. COLENBO has written a long letter to the London Tones to provo that the primitive Christians offer? ed no prayers to CHRIST. Dr. DUNCAN, of Washington Square, N. T., lately deceased, was before the war the richest planter on the Mississippi.. JUDAH P. BENJAM?N, late Confederate Secretary of State, has just created a great sensation in Lon i don by a brilliant speech in one of the courts. The adopted son of the ex-King of Onde has 1>een taken into custody at Calcutta on a charge of stealing a large quantity of jewelry from his lath? er's har om. . The Hon. ANDREW HUNTER, elected United States Senator from Arkansas, declines on tho ground that he cannot accept without injury to the church of which he is a member. : The Richmond papers are astonished because the Southern Relief Association, of New York, col? lected only about nineteen thousand dollars after such a flourish of trumpets. The Natchez Courier complains that that city has long been on a dead stand, with no attractions to draw or retain travel ; a statement which the . Concordia (La.) Intelligencer very cruelly indorses. Gen. GRIFFIN lately published an order which the Texans don't like; and, in return, they are re? lating all about how he didn't have a fight, when he-had t. chance, with J.E.B. STUART, at Falls Church, Va., in September, 1861. There are rn the city of New Tork 10,000 drink? ing places, or one for every hundred of the popu? lation; in Cleveland 112, one for every thirty-three famihee; in St. Louis 1696, or one for every ninety seven of the population. The people ?f Alabama are waking np in every direction on the subject of railroad improvements. The montgomery and Eufon?a, Montgomery and "Western, Selma and Gulf, and other routes, ?re receiving aid and encouragement. A Confederate soldier named BROOKS wa? taken prisoner ?orno three years ago, and, whiteman Indian? prison, whittled out a model of a cotton press- ' fie claims that with the help of a good gin he can pack a hale of cotton, weighing five- hun? dred and twenty-five ponnds, in two hours. . . The following item appears-in a Dublin newc .paper: "Died, January 7, at Milford, Mayo County,. JreJandj TEQQX WALSH, aged 124 years, a servant in the family of MnxEB of Milford since 1757./. January 5, Mrs. ELIZATETH MCKINLEY, of Coler? aine, Antrim county, 107." Cahfornia can send her wheat and barley more than twelve thousand miles by water to New York ?^Philadelphia, and compete with the producers .Who. Bend it one thousand infles by railroad. A cargo or wheat which recently arrived in Philadel-, |)hia from San Francisco, realized a profit of $75, DOOi, California has a gold currency. The United States Assessor's books show that Chere are about 700 liquor dealers having United JStatea license in Boston, and 1182 in the third and .fourth districts together, which include Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, North Chelsea and Winthrop, {?ns is 2861 less than, two years ago.. An absent-minded man in Detroit went to a gro? cery f?r a jug of vinegar and got some kerosene piL The mistake was not detected until his wife Roared some of the supposed vinegar into a basin pt cabbage which was cooking on the stove. ?There was a tremendous scattering of victuals and ?tove furniture soon afterwards, but fortunately nobody was hurt. ' x ' " The Charlestown (Mass.) Courier, sees arsy of light in tii? fact that there are Democrats enough . in Massachusetts io get up a series of resolutions j which have-the old Democratic ring. .The Boston Transcript.Bays in th? way of comment on this, that the'Massachusetts Democrats always were powerful in their resolutions ; their talent in that -particular hWis astonishing. ' FLAKE'S, Galveston Bulletin says that it is "in? formed that since Christmas about sixteen tbou jSand rreedmen have gone- back to Louisiana' from the northern counties of this State. The allega? tion is that Louisiana laws are more just and equi? table for the freedmen than .those of Texas-that the labor law cf this State, and the sentiment by -which'they are interpreted and administered, is such that the blacks gladly seek a home in Louis? iana," ' While B. F. ROBT and his men were engaged in ^lasting on the Silex Ledge, Sooth Lyndeboro, N. jEL, February 6th, they discovered, :ipparently em? bedded In solid stone, a green snake, fifteen inches in length, in a cavity of a few inches in depth. This cavity was three feet nine inches from the top. The snake was of a yellowish green, as if long shaded, yet a perfect snake, but warm air could not restore him to acta vii? . .:; -Some medical documents were received at Dal? ton; Ga., a few days ago, on which was the follow? ing indorsement : "I think we will pass STEVENS' hill this week through . the House,' and jSexfc week through the Senate: Give your rebel editor one of Ihis-r-ttell him that those are my thoughts, and to jannonnce my name for Governor in. 1868, and bet 3iim allhe is worth that I will be elected-tell him io resign-Ms rebel commission and go to work for ? National Government. G, W. ASHBURN." The Jonesboro' (Illinois) OazeLe Bays : "Our cotton prop is now about gathered and sold, and ita value to the bommunity may be nearly estimat? ed. About four hundred bales have been raised, and at an 'average value to the producer of one hundred and twenty-five dollars to tho bale. Fifty thousand dollars revenue have been derived. Last -year over one thousand bales were produced, at an average return to the farmer of over two hundred dollars per bale, or an income to our people of two hundred thousand dollars." The Cleveland Herald has received a private let? ter from Fort*. Laramie, Dakota Territory, dated January 25, which says the force of United States troops which loft Fort Morgan the 11th nit. arrived at Fort Laramie on the 25th, making the march of two hundred and ninety miles, through very deep enowrinfbtirteen days, ?topping over at Fort Sedg? wick two days.. The majority of the men were frost-bitten, some . quito." severely. The greatest precaution had to be taken against surprise, as the Jndians were murdering and plundering all along the road, both iii; front and rear of the troops. > A Wflirdngton (N. C.) paper says "Never since the blockake waa raised has oar port been so en? tirely bare of shipping. The oye looks in vain along long lines of empty wharfu for the numerous maata, that aro wont to grace o<<? waters; and ship? ping clerks industriously attempt to keep up a show of work, while idle draymen lounge lazily on cotton bales. This is ascribable as much to ad? verse winds as to doll times, for many vessels have jbeen long due here. It is not more than once in many years that there is only one ship offering for a cargo in Wilmington." '? The Selma (Ala.) Times reportB.plantetions well supphed with laborers and stock, ,fhe plantations ia good condition, and work forward for flie sea eon. The plant erspare disposed to make sure of a arop of breadstufls. The freedmen are allowed in addition to their wages (ranging from $10 to $12.50 per month), an acre or more of land, and a mule to plough it, and also the half of every Saturday, in .which to till and cultivate it, and in almost all in? stances their medical bills and medicine are fur rushed them. The signs of the season are very favorable for an abundant crop. In Northern Ala? bama the young wheat is looking well, and there 38 every reason to expect a full crop. A few Jays since, at the Belevue Hospital, New Tork, a woman, who had part of her nose bitten off in a fight, took chloroform previous to having a new nc : ian ofac tor ed by drawing* the skin down from the forehead-a delicate and painfu1 opera? tion. The anaesthetic was ttknumstered, and the surgeon was about to begin paring down the skin, when he found the patient's pulse had stopped. The usual restorative applications were at once employed, but she died in a little more than an lour. A post-mortem examination revealed the i act that the chloroform was the undoubted cause i git death.

CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27, 1867. Our readers have from' time to time been advised of the progress made by the Vestry of St. Michael's Church, in their efforts to restore to the city the beautiful chime of bells we oil erjoyed so much in the days that are gone by. Soon after the cessa? tion of war, they mado eflorts'to have the bells (in? jured and rendered useless by the burning of Co? lumbia), recast in England ; and in this they were successful Tho old bells were sent across the Atlantic, were there recast, sent back to Charleston in the Gladstone, and great was the delight of our citizens at their arrival. But all the difficulties were not yet overpast. There is a Custom House n Charleston and a Collector, and th? balls could only go to St. Michaels BeL*ry, by way of the Custom House; and that way was the cia doltarosa. The wherewithal was lacking to-make that last trip. Til J duty amounts tr about $2600, and, until that sum shall be forthcoming, the bells ara ir bondst their melody muffled, the American Eagle- holding a close watch over the singing birds. The bells must be taken out of thin durance vile : arid well directed efforts alone can accomplish this fei-t of rescue. This community is not now ric li, and however well intended individual sfthrt? by a half-dozen willing gentlemen may be, this does not reach tho entire community, and all must be readied to secure success. We would propose, therefore, that the entire city be divided into fifty-two collection districts, subdividing the warda thus : Ward No. 1.*.. 4 Sections, Ward No. 2. 4 Sections. Ward No. 3.12 Sections. Wrard No. 4.16 Sections. Ward No. 5. * Sections. Ward No. 6. 4 Sections. Ward No. 7. * Sections. Ward No. 8.- 4 Sections. Total..52 Sections. This would give to each of the fifty-two gentle? men who would assume th's very honorable duty but a few squares of the city to canvass in, and the work could be done in a morning. Wo would suggest farther, that each canvasser should bo furnished with a neatly printed form of receipt, setting forth fully the object of the dona? tion. Let the subscription be free to all, receiving from each such amount as tho donor may find il convenient to give. What is wanted is to popular? ise the subscription. The humblest citizen will fuel a pride in contributing his mito toward?, this replacement of the historio chimes of* St. Mi? chael's. . " Tr I ! ThiB work o* dividing and canvassing is not new I to our citizens. Charleston can be, and has often been, 'subdivided into very small precincts for elec? tion purposes, and in past canvasses large sums have been raised on Buch occasions. Let it be tried now for a great public purposo, and in a short time the bells will be in their old quarters. THE EASTERN QUESTION. The insurrection in Crete seems to be near its end. The "moral sympathy" of Europe and Ameri? ca was inadequate to sustain -the poor handful of starving Candiotes against myriads of well-fed and well-disciplined Turkish troops. In the London Times, of tho 4th instant, we find a confirmation of the rumors of the hopelessness of their ciuse. Hundreds of women and children l'or weeks were conveyed on board neutral vessels from Crete to the neighboring harbors of Greece, and then- exo? dus wau hailed as an evidence of a determination on the part of the Cretans t> unencumbered in their movements, and enabled to fight their battles to the utmost. On thc 20th' nit., however, the French ghnboat'Saiamahder, followed by an Otto? man frigate and a corvette, entered the Fir ams, near Athone, bringing back to Greece 440 of her volunteer 'warriors. ' Others of their comrades were waiting in the island fdr an opportunity of embarking, and oven treating with MUSTAPRA PA? SHA for permission tb take then: passage in foreign vessels. Open war, even in the mountain districts, seems to be altogether at an end, though guerrilla warfare may be kept up for a season, or even break ont again and again for years. But the men who turned their backs upon Crete would hardly have deserted their flag if even a hope of pro? longed r?sistance had remained. - The reception these disappointed heroes met with at the hands of their countrymen is not the least remarkable incident in a campaign which has been signalized by the tragic episode of Arkadi. The mob of-Athens,'on hearing of the arrival, of these unfortrnates, came down to the Piraras with a determined purpose to inflict-upon themthe chastisement, due to cowards or traitors* As soon as the volunteers began to disembark they were assailed with snell a "hailstorm of paving-stones," and such "a shower of cudgels," that they were glad to take refuge in'the vessels ahoy had left; and to seek the protection of their crews.' Some received wounds, some were flung into the sea; two br three, as is reported, were beaten to death ; and few would have escaped the same fate had they boen loft altogether at the discretion of the infuriated rabble. The cries were "Down with the deserters, and. deniers of HeUenio honor I Throw into the sea the renegades who saved their Uves on board Turkish ships if These patriots, for whom ungrateful Greece had so harsh H welcome, seem, howe ver, to have de? served a heiter reception, fdr it was less hy the. lead and steel of the Mussulman that they were overpowered than by the impossibility of finding subsistence in the desolated country. So long as flocks roamed on - the hills they fought and con? quered, audit was only when the bones of the last sheep were picked clean that they came back to have the reproach of having lived at free quarters in the land they were rescuing from thraldom flung in their teeth. Those among them who ea caped from the hands of the mob were put ashore in a desert islet in the Bay of Salamis, whence, .it is to be hoped, after time bas been given for the evaporation of unjust popular displeasure, they will be allowed tb reach their homes in safety. However absurd and wrong-headed the behavior of the Athenian mob may appear on this occasion, it may be taken as a symptom of the earnestness .with which that exoitable Greek nation looked upon the Cretan struggle. The Turkish Government has in the meantime averted the danger of an insurrectionary move? ment in Servia by prompt concessions. The Ser svians demanded that all tho fortresses in Servia, formerly garrisoned by the Turks, should be given np to the Servians, and' the Sublime Porte has complied with the request, surrendering even the important fortress of Belgrado, which on many oc? casions had served as the great bulwark of the Turkish empire. Servia haB thus become virtually independent of Turkey, belonging to the C smanic empire only in name. But the Turkish Govern? ment, by giving up what it could not hold, has dis? embarrassed itself of a dangerous enemy and be? come able to concentrate its forces for other pur? poses. Other concessions of no loss important a nature have been made to the public opinion of Europe. Tho Sultan has resolved to grant to MB Christian subjects all political rights enjoyed by the Mussul? man, and even to convoke a Parliament, which is to meet at Constantinople. The Frei, oh Govern? ment <s endeavoring to induce the Sultan to sell the island of'Crete fora large sum of mon jy to the Viceroy of Egypt, and to cede to France the Bay of Suda for a naval station. This transaction naturally excited tho jealousy of England, and it is reported that a strong squadron of British ships has been sent to Alexandria to watch the move? ments of the French fleet. But, as the French Enjperor is not now in a condition to desire a con? flict^ with a first-class power, it is probable that British opposition will prevail Upon him to drop for the prosent all plans which might lead to a serious complication. Whether tho reforms resolved upon by the Sul? tan, such as the extension of political. rights and the introduction of parliamentary institutions, will produce a lasting amelioration of things in the Turkish empire, is very doubtful. The character of thc government, as well as the riding class, is so uncongenial to the development of tnie freedom and civilization, that a relapse may bo expected at my time. But these measures seem to have, for he prosont, succeeded in preventing the spreading >f tho revolutipniiry movement and in adjourning or a season the Oriental question, which, but a 'ow weoks ago, threatened to plunge Europe into i general conflict. Such, at least, is the aspect of il?iirs to-day. lt would, however, bo hazardous to predict what it will bo to-morrow. What strange things have not been reserved Xor 3UT day ! A Turkish Parliamsnt ! When TJhiver jal Suffrage shall have become tho law in tho Unit? ed StatoB, .and women as well as men cast their votes, go to . the Legislature and to Congross, we i uggest that Mrs. ELIZABETH CADY. STAI-TON \yould bo a suitable person to send to Turkey as United States Ambassador. ? The New York World makes a strange, confes? sion, its own course being considered, when it says that the Prosidont, "by his vigorous opposi? tion to Congress, has exasperated, the Radicals, and educated the South into stubbornness." If this stubbornness is to be regarded as a roiafor tune, the New York World, according to the ex? tent of its influence, is as mu?h responsible as the President, for it bas gone to greater extremes, in advising the South to turn a deaf ear to the de? mands of the loyal States through their represen? tatives, than Mr.' Johnson. [Cincinnati Commercial. However much the Southern people may have relied upon and approved tho many able utterances of the President in behalf of constitutional lib? erty, they certainly never have been, for a moment, influenced by" such journals as the World. ' Our peoplo hrvo never had any confidence in the "war democracy." Among tho members of that party there may have been, and, doubtless, aro now, men wTiom the Southern people respect; but they loatho, as do the consistent Northern Republicans, the policy weich has been pursued by the majority ofthat party. We had sooner, by far, ally our? selves with out-and-out Radicals, than with those who helped ua to get into our difficulties, and then turned their backs upon us. We admire HOBAOE GREELEY and WENDELL PHILLIPS much more than such fellows as B. E. BDTLEB and the editor of the World. . THERE is but one turn in the screw of oppres non loft for us, we believe, says the Richmond Dispatch of Monday, and that is "confiscation I" It may be doubted whether this measure of persecution can bc carried out. But the mere effects of its discus? sion-of the threat to impose this added measure cf vindictiveness upon this helpless people-will be almost as bad as the thing itself. At once all confidence will be at an end; all enterprise be^ checked: all industry disorganized; and all energy paralyzod. ,_ WANTS.

The following is the indebtedness of the State recited in the above-mentioned Acts to be funded, viz: .." PRINCIPAL Of Bonds issued under Act of December, 1869, "to grant aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad," past due since 1st Janu? ary, 1865; and of Stoek issued under Act of June, 1838, "for rebuilding the city of Charleston," past due since 1860. > v~ INTEREST On Bonds under Act of .December, 1869, mentioned above; on Bonds under Act of December, 1854, "to au? thorize aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad;'' on Bonds issued by virtue of Act of December, 1856, for the 'con? struction of the new State House, and the Bonds issued under Act of December, 1853, "to provide funds for the erection of the new State Capitol;" on Stock issued for the construction of the new State Hon M?, by authority of Acts of 1866, '67, '68, '69, '61 and '<i3; oh Stock issued by Act of June, 1838, "for rebuilding the city of Cliarleston" (axceptulg that portion of said Stock already inferred to os past due since 1860, and on lt no interest is. to be calculated); and on the three (3) percent Stock issued by the State. The foregoing interest is to be calculated as due up. to the 1st July, 1867, at which time the' new Bonds and Stoek begin to bear interest, payable semi-annually there? after. The interest on the new Certificates of Stock for the principal of Stock of Act i838, already mentioned as past due since 1860, will bear interest from the 1st Janu? ary, 1867.'
