Charleston Daily News : SIP. : I hope you will allow tho undereignod to answer a few lines to your editorial of July tho 29th ultimo, in roforenco to tho abolishment of im? prisonment for debt in France. It is said in your editorial that imprisonment for debt "has at last been abolished; that the French law iu this particular is now substantially the samo as that of Engkaid and of tho United Stales, that tho old. law regarding tho debtors was barbar , ou3 in the extreme; that, by abolishing this old and barbar ms law, France has put herself abreast of thc most advanced nations of the day." To this I will say that, ever since the Code NA POIEON has been ia existence, no such thing os im? prisonment for civil debt hos taken place in France; that i inprison men t ford ob t l\os been resorted to by the code of commerce only for debts resulting from commercial transactions or operations, and only after and in execution OJ a judgment pronounc? ing the debt a commercial ono and hablo to impri? sonment, and only when tho debt amounted to 200 fraDCS. and afterward to 300 franca (60 dollars.), but never under that amount. That law baa always, up tq thia day, boon con? sidered in France and other barbarian countries, even in England,, as a groat security for commerce and an ofheiont check to dishonesty in commercial ! transactions; but whon, from your editorial, it must bo naturally implied that France has just emerged from a state of barbarism, you seem to ignore that .'n some of the United StateB, and under tho beat Government on earth, confinement for debt is al? lowed by tho law, not only under a sum of sixty dollars, and for a civil debt, but provioiib to any proceeding, and at the mere affidavit of a merci? less creditor. However, each ia the law in the State of South Carolina, where a man arrested for debt is not, like m Franco, confined in a prison specially for dobtors, but rn the common jail, among prisoners of the nicBt dospcrato character, just as woll as unfortunate witnesses, who, not being ablo to give bad for their appearance, aro thrown into prison with malefactors, whon tho individuals against whom they havo to give ovidence aro at largo on bad, given on tho produco of their robberies. Perhaps yon will plead tfc?? South Carolina is indebted^ to. tho paternal Government of tho United States tor having empowered a Genoral to obliterate, with a stroko of his pen, a barbarous haw, whiih exposed freedmen to bo imprisoned for dobts; but that order is ot a very rocent date, and does not emanato from tho Stato Legieb.tv^rc;, aa is tho case in France. 1 aereo with you, whan yon say that "American philosophers, in contemplating a trip to Taris, will havo no occasion now to dread thc cells of Clichy." No doubt that many shrewd of a cortain class of philosphers will seizo that opportunity to have a fine time in Paris, and will try to take what they call a French leave, possessing there nothing but a diminutivo port roan teatj. Wu- obedient servant, FRAN?AIS. Thc Hon. B. ft. Hill, of Georgia. The following sketch of tho afore-named distin? guished Georgian is drawn from the life, by ejr Governor J. J. BROWN, of that P,tat&. Vfo extract it from tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, in, which paper Mr. BROWN auswera Mr. HILI> ? "Notos on tho Situation." I If I am correctly informed Mr. Hill started his ?' olitical Ufe proiasain^ to bo a Democrat. In 1S55 e was tho Know-Nothing ?andidate for Congress in his District, and was debated. In 1856 he was on tho Electoral ticket, supported by tho Know Nothing porty of Georgia, and was defeated. In 1857 ho was the Enow-Nothing candidato for Gov? ernor, and WM defeated. Aa I was th?? Democratic candidato, probably tho latter, defeat bad not been forgotten by him when he prepared his "Notes on the Situation." In 1859 'he"took position iu ad? vance for war, without waiting for ah overt o.06 of oppression by tho Fedora! (V?vernrneni, in oaso the Republican party should elect thoir oandidate for President the arti year. In tho fall of 1859 ho was oleotod Stato Senator from Troup county for two years, the most distinguished honor over conferred upon him by popular vote. After Mr. Lincoln" wad olectod Prosidont, ho backed down from bia position for war, and wn? &, candidate in tho winter of 1860 for the t xm vondon on tho Union or Corporation ?ickot. Ho waB elected and took bia seat in tho Secession Conven? tion, Ho at first opposed secession. Bcforo tiio posBago of tho Ordinance of Secession, after it was known that a majority of tho Convontion favored it, it began to be discussed in private circles w!',u should bo elected to the Provisional Congress in caso tho Stato seceded. Tho Ordi? nance was pnt upo.'4 its final passago and Mr. Hill voted for it, and signal it. A few days afterward ho wa? olocted tb Congress ty the Convention. Whothor by voting ipr th0 Ordi? nance he betrayed tho people of Troup county, whoso voio? was against accession "for tho causoa then existing, I do not pretend to inquire. At any rate he waa not elected aa a secessionist, for the chen existing causes ; ho voted for tho Ordinance, and was elected to Congress bv a majority of seces? sionists. What important measure of pracUcd statesmanship he inaugurated or carried through Congress by his ability or influence during bis whole term of service I havo. never been ablo to learn. When the Secession Convention was in session at Savannah, Mr. Hill, then ? member of both tho convention and tho provisional Congress, made a speech to the people, ia which ho said : "The North would not fight. Thoro would bo no war. But :f tho North should be so foolish as to go into tho contest, there never waa a peoplo 011 tho fuco of tho earth so well prepared for it aa we were. It should be an aggressive war. Tho war should be carried into A??oa; and whon the ci tica of tho North were laid in ashes, and the country devas? tated aud laid waste, then wo should find the peo? ple of tho North wcro the ones to uk tor terms and Buo for peace." Ho pictured tho rising glory of tho new Confederacy, and went oh to say, that while thia became moro compact and Secure, dis? integration would como as sure as fafo upon the old Union, and they would ?eek ouanco hito thia. And ho very graciously added th it, "If thoy carno humbly enough aa towors of wood aud drawers of water,' they might come."' When the next Legislature met, there were in ij a majority of tho old Know-Nothing part/, and Mr. Hill was elected to thc Confederate Sonato over General Toomba While in ihe tienatu nc voted, under oath, against Ibe first Conscript Bill. As is well known, I oppoa. ed the measure when made public aa unconstitu? tional, N?t long after thia was known, Mr. Hill made a speech in Millodgcvillo, in which ho in? tended to be very aevcro on mo for ray opposition to a measure against which lie had cast his voto under oath; and said tho oountry woidd have been ruined if it had not passed. After that timo ho be? came the zealous udvocato of tho conscription policy, and denounced all who oppoaed it. During tho war, when a call was made upon tho people not subject to conscription, to volunteer and organise for home defence, when it was doubt? ful whether thev would be culled out for active service, Mr. Hill made a speech iu La Grange and encouraged all to. volunteer, and aa a means of giving forco to bia appeals, aud of showing his own patriotic devotion to tho cauao, ho enrolled, or authorized his own naaio to bo enrolled, as a privato in one of thc companies be? ing formod, and pledged himself to go it' they were called out. Soon afterward, upon the ad? vance of the Federal army, tho company was or? dered to tho field for activo service, and Mr. Hill not boing one of tho "dupes who showed a will to loso blood" backed out and refused to go. The reason reported at thc time, as given by him for his refusal, was that he was a Confederate Senator drawing a salary, and that while in this condition it would be unconstitutional for him to draw tho pay of a private soldier. So it oppears the present ie not tho onlv occasion when Mr. Hill's motto ha? been to s-tanil bv the .Constitution as bia onlv safety. Aa he would certainly have been entitled to tho pay of a privato soldier if ho had shoulder? ed hie gun and gone with thc company, and aa it was wrong for a Senator to violato tho Constitu? tion, ho was not arrested and compelled to serve. A DISTRESSING CALAMITY.-On Thursday ovon ing, tho 2Cth July, tho stables and out-houses of Capt. A. J. Staunton, about seven miles from Ben nettsville, were completely destroyed by fire. Wo are informed, also, that a horse, cow, wagon, har? ness, cart, and almost every laraine: implement belonging to Mr. a. were burnt up in tho con? flagration. Tlie cause of the fire is unknown, but is behoved to be au act of incendiarism. [Bennellsvi'le Herald. The coUoction of gold plato at Windsor Castle ia estimated at the value of upward of two millions of money ; most of it has been sent to Bucking? ham Palace for the Sultan's nee, THE CHARLESTON PILOTS VS. STEAM SHIPS. A law suit of much interost to bar and harbor pilots lately carno up before the Hon. GEORGE S. BRYAN, United States District Judgo for South Carolina. Captain W. S. LEBBY, master of tho steamship Emily B. Souder, plying from this port to Now York, having procured a United States pi? lot's license, and obtained tho endorsement of Major-General SICKLES thereon, claimed that, under tho military law at present presiding over South Carolina, the above liconso, approved by tho Commanding General of this department, gave him the right to pdot his ship over Charleston Bar, and that tho local law requiring him to have a babor pilot was of no force and effect in the pres? ent position of affairs. An action was brought by Captain W. T. MCDONALD, ono of our harbor pilots, against Captain LLBDY to recover the pilotago, and as a test question. Judgo BBYAN, in an able opin? ion delivered a fow days since, sustained tho au? thority of tho local law, and gave tho pilot judg? ment for the amount of his claim. To show tho position of tho counsel of Captain LEBBY, wo pub? lish tho following statement of the points of their argument : The counsel for tho respondent, Capt. H. S. Lob? by, made two points only, viz: 1st. That tho Court of Admiralty bad no juris? diction to try this case. 2d. That General Sickles, having tho power to do so, had, by his endorsement and approval of Capt. Lobby's certificate, suspended the operation of tho City Ordinance, so far as to allow Captain Lobby to pilot Iiis owu vessel into and out ol' tho port of Charleston. They did not claim (but ropeatedlv disclaimed) for Captain LeDby under the Act of Congress of 1832; nor did they deny-but admitted-tho gene? ral Admiralty jurisdiction for pilot service, and also admitted, notwithstanding tho cases to tho contrary. Admiralty jurisdiction concurrent with local Courts to enforce local laws for pilot service; that is, the Admiralty having general jurisdiction would, in allowing compensation, adopt tho rates fixed by State or local laws. They were not ignorant of tho decisions under tho Act of1852, or tho proviso of the Act of 1807, and ut tho outset of tho causo avowed that, with? out General Sickles'endorsement of approval, they had no case ; they only claimed for their client the right to pilot his own vessel into and out of the harbor by virtue of General Hickies' authority, without that tho law would bo clearly against him. AU ?his they admitted. Counsel for libellants insisted on elaborating ar? guments against defences not set up, and dis? claimed, by repeated interruptions, to say such arguments were unnecessary ; and his Honor, in his learned opinion, has followed tho course of counsel, r : mi nd in g one of that wearied Judgo who, whon the Advocate beforo him continued to pro? pound with startling energy the proposition that "a fee simple is tho highest estate known to the j law," gravely requested him to pause while he made a noto of the point. Upon tho first point made for the respondent it was urged that this case is not within tho Admiral? ty jurisdiction, because it is not for P?olage ser vwe. It is to collect a tax or penalty ordained by tho City Council of Charleston for not aecepling such services, to be paid by tho Master, who re? fuses thom. Tho recovery asked, (or is not for ser? vices rendered, but for services offered and not ac? cepted. It may or may not bo a penalty. It cer? tainly is not u ?a?8o o? Admiralty jurisdiction. ,The ordinance does not forbid a vessel to como in without a l'il?t. It allows it, but tho price of this license is the gamo as the prico of pilotage, and is to be paid by the Mastei, not by thc ship. What has a Court of Admiralty to do with enforcing thia tax upon the master, who brings in 1 avra ship ? What has it to do with onforciug lhi?i. ivilego, or perquisite or indemnity to thc Vi\oi U his readi? ness and offer to render bis, services ? doubtless tho hotel-keeper reicht, if Capt. Lobb' ero his guest. recover.for the meals ho might p. tro and oller him, although ho might neglect to t them, lint ho oannot make an Admiralty causo t, or rooover by Libel in Admira ty. Upon ?he second point it was argued tba 'ho. words of Lebby's cortificato wore ainjdo- thhj.^ ia not denied. But tho city ordinance forbade him, and that was higbor authority this, was admitted. Hence the necessity far the approval ol GOUQTS? Sickles, which is stuUhigher authority, ?fibers waa n?Afiebd of his approval, Unloss for Wp Bar ahff Harbor Pilotage, Fid jurisdiction is riot upon tho high neos, or, o^T tho harbor of New York, In reply io argnmonts that it was too violont a presumption and not reasonable to suppose Gene-, ral Sickles intended to disturb tho beautifully de? scribed pilotago monopoly system allowed by tho city ordinance, it was urged that it iras quito rea? sonable and natural to suppose that General Sickles did intend jua? what his approval of the certificate did do,-namely, allow Captain Lebby I (o bp bis own pilot, and theroby bogin to relieve ? tho. coastwac steamboat trade to Charleston of tho heavy burden inflicted upon it, by assimilating in that respect to tho same trado at tho port of New ?ork. Captain Lebby's vossol, under tho City Ordi? nance, pays an annual tribute of about six thou-, saud ($o0J0) dollars to tho pilots. Tho other coast wiso steam vessels pay enoiu?u to. make up an annual aggregate tributo to the pilots of full sixty thousand ($00,000) dollars. The pilot monopoly or "ring," it appears, can consist of not o ver thirty persons. This gives two thousand ($2000) dollars tu each one, bosides what may be levied upon loreign commerce aud coast? wise sailing vessels. Tho pilots aro doubtless very worthy and meri? torious persons. , They might think it a great hardship to bo dis? turbed in tho enjoyment of this bounty, But is it not quite as much hardship upon ooriunorco and the owners of vessels to bo r^iunolled to pay it to them for services not needed V Was it not quito as likely that General Sickles should intend to pro? tect the latlox and moro numerous class as that ho shank! Intend to continuo to tax thom for thc com? fort' and support of this happy Pilot Family '( lt may be truo that tho foreign and other com? merce of Charleston is nut sufficient to support this corps of Pilots without tim tributo of thc coastwise steau* vesaols. That, after their long and arduous apprenticeship, it is a hardship that thbir monopoly should bo disturbed, and those who do not want their services, reboved from paying for them. But this in not a now hardship. Tho in? troduction of \ailroads and locomotives was a great hardship upou turnpike corporations, and uta^e coa?hca and skdled stage drivers; but it would not alleviate tho hardship, though it might chango tho sufferers, to say that cvory railroad passenger should also pay for a seat m. tho stage coach when ono should be offbrod. Tho introduction of tho power-loom was a hard? ship upon tlie hand-weaver. It is a hardship that systems older {han'tho pilot nystom of Chai-letton have bcon disturbed and dustroyed. Worse things havo happened, an I may again* happen, than that the Pilots ot Charleston should only render ?or vioes that aro wanted, and ouly recesivo pay fur services they may render. - DUBING IHE YEAR \StiS, '-tho production of pe? troleum in thia eountry was nearly 4,000,000 bar? rels, equal to about 2,500,000 barrels of relined oil; o? this amount over 1,000,000 barrels were export? ed." But tho wealth awumulated by individuals in thc first suddui excitement ol' this trade has not generali/ profited them. "Prom ono causo and utiother," eays a journal in tho oil regions, "by speculation, or (brink, or gambling, or brokon banks-tho greater part aro about where they be? gan j many, indeed, far worse. Suits almost with? out number have boon brought for the recovery of moneys fraudulently obtained, and tho only thing that prevents tho commcnoomeiib of others, is tho disagrecoble certainty that tho plaintiff could not pay the costs. Many companies have allowed their lands to bo sold for taxes, seemingly rcsolvod to spend no moro in this country." Thc productive localities, are continually changing, and a farm that is sold for a song to-day may provo tho cen? tro of a now deposit to-morrow. Ibero is a decid? ed incroase already in thc amount of petroleum ex? ported this year, as compared with that of 1805-G, the quantity so far exported having reached 32, 280,385 gallons, against 20,159,711 gallons during tho samo timo last year. Ibis shows au incrense dut iug this year ol 3,120,071 gallons, or 7S.101 bar? rels. The Boston Journal of Clumistry asHCits that a copper lightning-rod is to be preferred to ono of iron. A rod presenting a large amount of con? ducting surface, and made firm by corrugations, is now manufactured in Boston. Coppersmiths in any part of tho country can moko them. "Glass in? sulators arc of no special consequence. Any secure way of fastening thc rod to tho building is all that is necessary. A building noed no: bo covered all over with rods, with numerous points projecting upward. This is a perfectly useless expense. Two good copper rodi rising above tho chimneys of an ordinary dwelling are a perfect protection, if tho ground terminations arc properly attended to. This point is very important, and the owners of buildings should personally attend to having tho rod passed into thc earth eight or ten feet, or until a placo of permanent moisture is reached." A CURIOUS CASE is occupying one of tho Taris Law Courts. It is a i action in which tho son and daughter of GEO BOES SAND sue their father, M. DUDEVANT, in respect to certain property which he wishes to sell. M. DUDEVANT was the illegiti? mate son of the Baron DUDEVANT. Tho Baroness DUDEVANT having no children of her own, took a strong liking to her husband's illegitimate son. In one will she divided her property into two por? tions, ono of which she left to M. DUDEVANT, and the other to his two children, thc son and daughter of himself and his wife GEOHOES SAND. When bo and his wifo separated, the Baroness DUDEVANT, it is supposed, to mark her disapproval ot tho children being left mider tho guardiauship of their mother, altered her will, and left all tho property to M. DUDEVANT. Practically, it is this will which is disputed hy the children. The decision is post? poned.
