DEAD SOOTH CABOLXNIANS. -Wo have received a communication foom Mrs. Charles J, Williams, dated Columbus, Ga., August 15,1867, from which we extract the following : I Bend enclosed the roll of honor of Chick ? m au? pas battle-Hold, in which yon will .And South Caro? lina's lat, which we hope you will give to your readers, that friends and cqmrades may do us the favor to correct mistakes, that most of necessity arise from the faded and worn marks upon the head-boards, which are fast rotting down and being trodden under loot Wo ore making every exertion to re-inter them in consecrated ground, and, under other curouma tances, Geor? gians would have been bat too proud to have done this entire work them? selves, and would scorn the proposi? tion to ask aid of her sister States to bury their dead who fell within her borders; but in the present financial as well as political prostration, we cannot hope for' further legislativo appropria? tion; and os the work will not brook any longor delay, wo arv forced to call on the friends of our cause, independent of State lines, to enable us to go on with this work of love ?nd duty, We are well ufare that no more inauspicious timo could have boon select ed to raise money than the pres? ent, when our .poor coautry is so impoverished; bat when we come in the name of oar dead, ask? ing only for a grave in consecrated ground, will we ass in vain? Could woman's hand do this work could they bear these skeleton forms from the battle-field to the ground we have pre? pared tor their reception at Marietta-we would have no need of money; there would be volunteers enough in Georgia to do this work of J ovo "without money aud without price." But this cannot be; we must Lave men's work and labor and teams, aud thjs must be paid for, and for this we beg your assistance. One hundred and three South Carolinians fell ?at Ohioamauga alone, and we suppose the same proportion will be found between Chickamauga and Atlanta. Each State has a beautiful section in our cemetery for its exclusive use-the centre being reserved for the "Unknown." When we have finished oar work, it will be turnad over to the care of the State, and under ber special guardianship, it will be forever kept sacred and in order. 24th Regiment-S.

The result of the International Curroucy Con- I gress at Paris was the adoption of two r?solutions: 1st, that the same gold unit should bo adopted by all the Governments represented in thc Congress; j and, 2d, that at least one coin should be jntro I duced by each, whose value should be equal to that of Bomo coin lu another country. The latter ! is merely to establish some point of departure for future operations. France proposes ber five franc piece; England her penny; Germany her thaler and gulden; and the United States the' dollar. The ! latter approaches the matter on its most feasible I side. Nothing bett; r than the decimal can be i pitched upon. It was so agroed on all sides, in I reference 13 weights and measures, and cannot be I less so in the matter of currency. For example, the franc can be increased in value a trifle; the shilling diminished; thc German smaller coin might oe made equal in value to our dime, and then lt would evenly divide thc thaler and gulden, which aic> respectively seventy and forty cents, The Spanish coinage would require simply to take the .dime instead of tho real, just as we super? seded Spanish and Mexican coin with our fives and tens. On the dollar basis, therefore, it appears practicable to bring about harmony in the coin currency of the world. Taking that tor the start? ing point, all coins con readily adjust themselves to tho new and simple standard. Tho decimal system would thus get upon its feet at onco, and reckoning bo mado easy.-Boston Post, 14th, CONFISCATION OF SOUTHESK LANDS.-A bill is being prepared by prominent loyal mon of the Ks ul li to enforce the proa eut confiscation laws and to modify them as to resurvey all of the seceded Stales in the same manner as tho public lands aro surveyed, and to' grant preemption rights to the freedmen and Union soldiers. Three hundred millions of dollars of tho proceeds arising from the sales aro to be used for reimbursing loval men for property destroyed and confiscated bv thc Con? federate Government, and the balance will be set asido forpaying pensions to disabled Union sol? diers. Tho bill provides that after the survev is made tho land shall be offered for sale to the freed? men ana discharged Union soldiers at the rate of $1.25 per acre, payable in twenty years at an inter? est o? six per cent, per annum. Other parties to be allowed to purchase at twenty-five percent, cash, and equal annual instalment? for three years, at six per cent interest. The last section pro? vides that disloyal persons shall be allowed to re? tain property to tho amount of $5,0 )0, provided the umits of such property do not exceed one of the legal sub-divisions of ?0 acres_Wash. Cor. JT. Y. Times, Aug. ll Conflict of Authority. The Wilmington, Journal furnishes the following information relative to tho controversy betwoen GOD. SICKLES and Chief Justice CHASE: We learn that United States Marshal Goodloe, acting under orders from Washington city, or? dered Deputy Marshal Neff, of this place, to exe? cute the process of the Circuit Court of the United States hereto/ore stopped by order of the milita? ry, with instructions to forward the name of any officer interfering, in order that he may be prose? cuted under the criminal laws of the United States. Colonel Frank, the Post Commander, acting under orders from District Headquarters, has again in? terfered to prevent the execution of the process, as being in violation of General Order No. 10. Here, then, seems to be a conflict of authority of portentous importance, which can hardly be settled, except by establishing the constitutionali? ty or unconstitutionality of the Reconstruction Acts. The President, bound by his oath to exe? cute the laws according to the Constitution, is act? ing perfectly consistent with his duty, while Gen. Sickies, obeying the orders of' Congress, to whom he alone is responsible, by the very act which places bim in command of his district, is acting in strict accordance with his duty. The fault bes, not with these officials, but is owing to the incon? gruous and discordant legislation by which Con? gress has usurped the executive and legislative powers of the Government. THE SOUTH CAROLINA PENITENTIARY. -Lesa than one year ago the Legislature made an appropria? tion of $20,000 for the purpose of trying the novel experiment of erecting a State Penitentiary. Not a few hooted at the idea of its success; but to-day one story of one wing is completed, and one hun? dred convicts are serving their time in manual la? bor connected with the progress of the institu? tion. Fitly cells have been finished, and, during tbe present week, the construction of the second fifty will be commenced. The work is being done chiefly by the convicts, under the direction of a few skilled artizans. Stone-cutting and the re? moval of immense blocks of granite from the ad? jacent quarries affords ample occupation to all. and the work is progressing as cheaply and rapidly SB possible. The immense importance of the development of these granite quarries cannot be over-estimated. In the course ot time, the ""wteriaJ is likely to be introduced into all cities and towns accessible by railroads, and employed in the erection of public and private edifices ; while the opening of the canal will create a water-power that must invite \, .-them capital to Colombia, and aid us material? ly in the development of the resources of this sec? tion of the State. ' ' In view of the largely increased responsibilities devolving apon the officers of the Penitentiary, the salaries have been increased. It may he proper to add here that among the rewards which are given to convicts for good, behavior daring their term of imprisonment is the following: That when recommended to the Governor by the Super? intendent for their exemplary conduc J, they snail have their terms shortened one-twelfth. One has already been discharged ander thia clause of the roles and regulations.' The punishme nts inflicted for insubordination are those, authorized by the army and navy regulations I of the ?United. States. Flogging ia strictly prohibited.1 We leam that there have been several instances of violent in? subordination on the part of convicts, and not long ago a plot was discovered which, if it had suc? ceeded, would probablyJoavd coat.tho lives of Capt. Green and Iii? sergeent af the guard.-Phoenix. The Paris correspondent of tho New York Times, in s letter dated Jane 16th, thus writes ? i ne history of a reporter who persisted in taking notes under oironmstanoesjwhich-would have compelled many men, of extraordinary courage even, to desist and seek a place of safety : Matthieu Donzelot was. in 1830, "local" for the Moniteur, and was found by a friend daring the memorable July days of that year, in the midst of a shower of clubs and stones that were flying be? tween the military and the canaille, taking notes. "What are yon doing here, you poor devil ? You'd better get away from here if you want to save your skin whole," said he. Donzelot paid no at? tention, bot kept on busilv tooting down the facts of the contest. " t tell you, Do uro lo t, you'd better follow me if yoa have any regard for your life," said ho again, as he turned to leave. "God for? bid!" said the imperturbable local, and kept on with his "account. See in g his friend making preparations for,* hasty retreat, he cooliv .called ont to !iim: "'But, I say. Thomas, if you are go ftig that way, will \ rm j Mt take those sheets into our office and tell them I shall stay to get the con? tinuation." An hoar later the soldiers received orders to dre with ball cartridges, and in the first volley, Donze? lot was hit by a ball. A surgeon came running to him. ''You are wounded?" asked he. "Yes," said Donzelot, "and pretty badly too, I take it, for I can't write, I find." ' Never mind your writing," said tho surgeon ; "you're badly hurt ;* yoa must be bound to the table." "There's not so muoh hurry .about that, Doctor. Every man to bis pro? fession. It's my husmeas to write an account of this affair, and rf you really want to do mo service. I beg vou to carry these notes to our officer, and add this postscript : "3.20 P. M.-A volley tired by the National Guard at this moment resulted in wounding three citizens and killing one." "The wounded I seo well onough," said the surgeon, "but where is the dead man?" "I am he," said Donzelot, and evpired. THE LIQ HT-FINGERED GENTRY OF PARIS.-The ambition of the Gaol is boundless. Whatever another oin do he will do, and, if possible, do it better. He is a renowned adopter of and improver upon the inventive genius of other nations. This ambition seems even to extend to auoh arts as picking pockets. If credit may be given to an ac? count m a Frenoh Review, this felonious art has been carried by thc Parisian thieves to a degree of perfection that leaves the ra sc ali tv of the "rest of mankind" far behind. The operation ia thus described as performed in a Frenoh omnibus : "The thief, of coarse well drsssed, enters the om? nibus armed with a very small morsel of lead at? tached to a very fine thread of black rilk, The extremity of this thread he holds between his forefinger and thumb, and as soon as his nearest neighbor takes ont his or her porte-monnaie for the purpose of paying the fare-which is paid in Paria on entering the omnibus-tho thief, his eyes ap? parently fixed in contemplation of some far off ob? ject, dexterously launches the bit of lead into the porte-monnaie just as the owner is'closing it. The purse is then returned to the pocket of the un? conscious owner, who never sees the thread, by which he is now in the power of the thief. AB soon aa an opportunity occurs, or is provided by the thief himself who tumbles appearently clumsi? ly against his neighbor at the first stoppage of the omnibus, the purse ia gently drawn from its owner's pocket and transferred to that of the rogue, who as soon as possible leaves the conveyance, with a polite salutation to his victim and the rest of tho travelers."-BaJimore Sun. -K ? VEGETABLE "CURLED HAIE."-A new material for beda has been discovered in California, that country of SQ manyana suoh valuable productions. It is asserted that there is at present dug oat of the mountains of the Sierra range a better mate? rial for beds than is now available in the markets qr tho world, fully equal to curled hair, and mak? ing comfortable, useful, and beal th tal beds, This material is the " soap root," which grows in un? limited quantities in California. It is described as a balboas root, enveloped in a very tough and supple fibre, resembling somewhat the busk of cocoanut in color and appearance, but nearly as tough as whalebone. The roots are dug chiefly by Chinamen, bound in bundies of one hundred ?ounds each and brought on poles to the factory, he first work is to put the roots through a pick? er, similar to a threshing machine, which is ran by horse power. This separa tos tho fibre into a hair of eight to ten inches long, which is placed in a large vat or steamer till it becomes flexible, and is treed" from all gummy qr glutinous mat? ter. Jt is then dried in the sun, pat through another finer picker, then taken and twisted into ropes, and then steaded again, which acts the carl. The ropes are bound in bales, and aro ready for the market. The natural color is brown, but it ie colored black, and an expert would fiud it hard to tell it from curled hair. --,-,-s-r-T*-.-~ THE RICE CHOP.-It is very gratifying to know that in spite of the immense amount of damage sustained by tho plantations along oar river from tho effects of tho heavy rains, tho rice crop has Improved greatly, and now bids fair to realize on an average, in some instancia, at least two-thirds of the amount which was planted for. New Hanover and Brunswick are the two rice counties of this section. In these counties some 23.000 bushels were raised last season, and in spite of the great im ped un en ts to ila maturity, it. is cal? culated that about 30,000 bushels will be realized from this crop. About one-third more of land was planted this year than the last. Then, the aver ago yield was somcthing like 15 or 50 bushels to the acre; thia year it will not exceed 35 bushels, Those figures aro tho result of a rough calcula? tion made by a friend, himself a planter, to whom he applied for information. When it is considered tbat but a comparativo mite of a crop was at one time expeoted, thc prospect now presented is truly a most gratifying one. lt roust ho borne in mind, however, that this estimate is made os an average of all, thc few plantations under cultivation below here producing much better than those above, On many of tho latter not moro than one-fourth of a crop will be made.- lyimlnglon Post, 167ft. THE DOLLAR MARK. -A correspondent of the New York Past writes to that papar a? fallows; You aro wrong for once in regard to this thing, $, which we prefix to the figures that represent our capital, income, or our expenses, as the case may be. Jt is the contraction of two Spanish words, "Pesos fuertes,'' which rnean literally hard money, They are made thus, pfa, and tho s commonly backs over the p and the f. I have seeu them on ac? counts made before tho federation of the United States was ever thought of. Practice making the letters, throwing tbe B back over tho p and r, and you will readily soe bow such a designated prefix will get into thc $ that we uso. Onoo when trail? ing in Mexico, having failed to use the term "pesos fuertes" to distinguish the kind of money I was to receive, my Mexican friend paid me three thou? sand dollars in sixponuy pieces and shillings, and in his accounts he did not uso oar $, A NEW CODNTEBFEIT.-A new and dangerous counterfeit $5 national ourrenoy note has just ap? peared at Detroit.

It rained throughout the entire day, Wednesday, and at night the neaviost rain fell that wo have seen for years. Tho whole country has been flooded, mili-darna broke, bridgeB washed away, and we fear considerable damage done tho cotton crops. We hoar of much fever in the country, but none of a serious nature.-Barnivell Sentinel. Abbeville District has much to rejoice over at present; truly so, indeed. In theao our days of poverty and distress, mother earth comes to onr timely relief, throws open her bosom, and discloses to view the rich treasures so long hidden. There is no longer any doubt that "Little Mountain" and the surrounding country teem with much yellow gold. Two companies are already at work, sinking tremendous shafts, and obtaining rich specimens asfthey descend. Could the minerals of that section be thonrough ly wrought ont by some experienced metallurgists, we venture the assertion that California was never richer. Several times our attention has been called to some rich specimens of gold ore obtained from the mines owned by Mrs. Wilson, of Green? wood, and Mr. Nelson, of this place. Up to the present moment we have foregone the pleasures of comment upon the matter, thinking "all that glit? ters is not gold ;" also knowing the infatuation most commonly following the gold seeker. But now the little knowledge wo have of the history of gold veins and their beds in the "bowels of the earth," and front samples produced, will justify aa in saying that capitalists are invited in this direc? tion in wondering calls. While at the mountain, we observed field quite enough to warr mt a visit by gomo eminent geologist, mineralogist, or ex plorist. We are satisfied amply that somo terrible igne? ous agency has disturbed the earth there within the last barf century. Signa are unmistakably prominent. In fact somo ot the moat respectable gentlemen of our village positively affirm that within their momory smoke bas escaped from the earth at that point; also, rocks became heated and remained so several days. Why this fact has not become historical and chronicled in every scientific review is a wonder. If this golden opportunity awaits proper investi? gation, and will add another page in history and science, why don't some noted scientific explorist pass this way and set us at right on the subject ? The oro found here assimila ten the "Boon's ore" precisely, together with other modifications, lias the finger of kind Providence touched that section and mode the earth groan and send forth smoke to tell man of the hidden treasures there ? [Abbeville Banner. THE WINE PRODUCT OF CALTFOBNIA.-Word comes from the Pacific coast that the grape vintage will be large, considerably surpassing that of last year, notwithstanding a season in some respects un? favorable. The product for 1867 is estimated at say 8,500,000 gallons, worth on an average 35 coots a gallon, or $1,250.000 in the aggregate. In addi? tion is a product of 100,000 gallons of pure brandy. There is every promise of California becoming a large oxporterof fine wines. The Alta Califor? nia says : So rapid is the increase of our vine var da tho increase ot* the annual vintage may safely bo esti? mated at 25 or 50 per cent, on that of each pre? ceding year. The child is born who will yet see California producing 100.000,000 gallons of wino annually. A single wine house of this city ship Sd last year more than $100,000 worth of wino to e Atlantic States, an J has exported since April, 1867, $35,000 worth. The wines of California are steadily gaining in favor in the East, where they are already to a great extent taking the place of foreign varieties, and tbe home consumption is constantly increasing. The quality is improving in a greater ratio than the product is increasing, and California now fur? nishes several varieties of wine which European connoisseurs acknowledge to be equal to anything greduced by any vineyard outside of the Golden tate. The inconveniences attending the turning, back? ing and other needful evolutions of that awkward vehicle termed a "track" or dray have long been felt, but no practical attempt seems hitherto to have been made to improve its machinery. With the excep? tion of being better built and having springs some? times, tbe present tracks are faithful imitators of their prototypes. An inventive person in New Bedford, however, has finally succeeded in invent? ing somothing to obviate the present clomsinese. This invention consists in the employment of a single forward wheel fastened in a disc, which moves in another, by the movement of which tho driver is enabled to torn his gear without tho ne? cessity of backing or the possibility of hoing cramped in any conceivable position. Another immense advantage is the avoiding the lateral, slatting motion of the thills, aa tho forward whoela pass over unequal obstructions. Besides, the track can be mado wider than heretofore, is more easily loaded, and when not in use occupies less space. Tho Paris Liberte tells the following story of LOPEZ, who betrayed MAXIMILIAN: "Tho Colonel was one day surprised at the head of a squadron by a considerable ambush of the enemy. As he? roism is not positively his forte, he commanded a retreat, and turned his horse's head. In his flight the animal reoeived a ball and fell. A soldier, in his extreme peril, took tho Colonel up behind him, but the boree, having double weight, slacked his pace, and the enomy approached rapidly. LOPEZ understood that if nothing was done they wore both lost, and so he drew a pistol from his belt, shot the soldier in tbe back, threw down the corpse, and then escaped alone." In Hungary many of the most prominent mon of 1848-9 are taking advantage of the amnesty. Generals KLAPKA, PEBCZEL, YETTEB, and others, have returned to their native country, and their arrival has frequently been the cause of public re? joicings and festivities. KOSSUTH has peon pro? posed oe a candidate for a seat in the Diet Ly the Extreme Left at Waitzon. GOBOEY has also been at Po a th, and intends to return to his country. The Liberals have not yet forgiven him for his capitulation of Yilagos, and his bitter opposition to KOSSUTH. The daughter of GOBGEY is engaged to bo married to a M. Bonns, the owner of the es? tate and manor of Yilagos, the scene of the fa? mous capitulation. WE ALL "TAXE, SHOP" occasionally, though of coarse unconscious of it. Punch bits off this propensity in his usual felicitous style in the fol? lowing language, which he represents a professor of natural science as addressing to a young lady: Come, dear girl, and roam with me The garden of Zoology.

So likewise do we trimmings, sweet. And sU varieties of food In short, eat everything that's good. Thus I'm omnivorous, so are you So aro tho piggy willes tco. Says the editor of a Mississippi paper: "A vene? rable citizen from the northern part of this State, brought his favorito little boy in to soo us Thms day, He is a bright little fellow, and well may thc old gentleman be proud of bim; but we rather fear his nanu, is too much for the child's constitution. Tho happy father gave it as follows: BBAQO BEAU BEQAltp JOHNSTON LEE BBECEINBIDQE STONEWALL JACKSON DAVIS EVANS." A Brooklynite tells a queer story about tho love? ly wife and daughter of a milkman, who took daily baths in the lacteal fluid to improve thoir complexion. Tbo milk waa then watered and sold for fifteen cents a quart. It didn't need any doctoring to give it a "body" after that. Western newspapers aro always great in promis? ing future prosperity for their citieB, but tho most extensive statement of this kind we have lately eeen is that tho town of "Fort Scott requires but two things to make it one of tho largest citios in the world, and theBO or? buildings and population.'
