NEWS SUMMARY. Cotton closed in New York quiet and firm at 28} for Middling Uplands. Gold dosed at fij. Liverpool quotations unchanged. General ROUSSEAU will sail from New York on the 2Sd inst., to take military possession of Wal russia. The old Pennsylvania Bank building at Phila? delphia is to be removed, piecemeal, to Portland, Mo. The marble has been marked, lettered and numbered, stone by stone, and will reappear at the latter city as a custom house. Hie American steamship Quaker City, Captain DUNOAK, with a large number of excursionists from the United States on board, has arrived at Naples, where she has been placed in quarantine. The Quaker City was on her way to the Holy Land, and her detention causes much indignation among tho passengeis. Before the Sultan left England he was presented by the British and Foreign Bible Society with a very handsomely bound Biblo in tho Turkish lan? guage, and he received the gift very gracious? ly. A Bible was also to be presented to the Egyp? tian Viceroy, but it was not ready in time, and will be sent ont to Egypt. The ties for the Kansas Pacific Railroad have to be transported from the eastern border, and are estimated to cost, laid down, one dollar each. Fuel used by the locomotives has all to be transported two hundred miles. As the road progresses west? ward this expense will increase, for as yet no good coal has been discovered. An island that has long been stationary in the middle of Goose Pond, at Tyringham, Mass., has recently floated to the upper end of the pond, about half a mile from its original location. It is an ac? cumulation of about one-quarter acre, and has trees twenty feet high and a heavy growth of q?n?iw bushes on it. A number of negroes applied recently to the contractor on the Houston (Texas) City Gas Works for employment. He informed them that his contract was for curren cv, and that he would pay them in that sort of money at thc rate of two dollars per day. The freedmen, however, refused to take currency, but agreed to take one dollar in specie per day in lien of two dollars in greenbacks. At the late horse show in London, the Agri? cultural Hall medal for extraordinary merit was awarded to the white Arabian mare Carlotta, on account of her great beauty and high caste. The father of the mare is of the tribe of S?Jdom, and now in the possession of the King of Prussia, and the mother of the tribe of Miwa. now in the stables of the King of Wurtembnrg. Cariotta is the pro? perty of a lady in Manchester. An Australian paper says that the neighborhood o? Havelock was recently visited, after a heavy rain, by clouds of frying ants, which were devoured in great numbers by the fowls, but the insects, not killed by the swallowing, ate their way through the birds' crops, and caused their death. This was not credited at first, but post mortem examinations have shown the insects alive in the raptured crops, or craw ?Lng ont of the dead birds' throats. The sacred relics preserved in the Cathedral of Aix-la-Ch apelle are exhibited to the public once in seven years, to the great emolument of the inn? keepers. .In the present year the concourse of pilgrims is so groat that the number has been es? timated at 100,000 for a single day. More than 60,000 were counted to have passed the gates, and the number that arrived by railway was about 40, 000 more; ? Paris correspondent of a London morning paper writes: "General SHEEHAN and his family have arrived for the purpose of visiting the World's Fair. This is the second time the General has favored Paris with a visit since the American war. He ia fifty years of age, and looks as young and fresh as ever." The vividness of the correspon? der t's imagination appears great, when one re? flects that General 'SHEEHAN is still on our West? ern border. The Chelsea (Ct) Paper Manufacturing Com? pany, at Greenville (Campbell, Hall St Co., New York), have one of the largest paper mills in the world, The mill contain* five machines and seven? teen ?ngfa?a, with ? daily capacity of from 18,000 to 20,000 pounds of paper per day. One hundred and seventy-five hands are kept steadily at work, and th? min is receiving a new machine of 90 inches cylinder, to accommodate which a large L has been built. The mill ia now running on book and newspaper. I A Western eompsny kare established stations for a new mail route from Montana to St Paul. This route is the extreme northern, selected with a view to avoid hostile Indians, and is pronounced a very favorable one. The contractor who laid it ont met some of the Sioux and Assiniboines, who readily gave permission for the right of way. He came from the Minnesota border to Helena in four? teen days, and expects that tho coaches will make the distance in twelve days. Two military posts are to be established on this route. The New Bedford Standard says the Northern whaling fleet this season numbers one hundred and two vessels in the Ochotak, Arctic and Kodiack Seas. Of these seventy-two are in the Arctic, twenty in the Ochotak, and tenon the Kodiack ground. Nineteen of the fleet are expected to re? cruit in the fall at San Francisco, and eighty-three at Honolulu. If the average quantity of oil and bone is taken there will be between 60,000 and 60,000 barrels of oil and 1,000,000 pounds of bone to ship from Honolulu next November and December to this port and Bremen. The French Empress has at last succeeded in obtaining ber encinto good society. Sh o will accompany her husband to Saltsburg cn the spe? cial invitation of the Emperor and Empress of Austria. Hitherto most of the royal and imperial Ladies of Europe have persistently "cut" the ox countess. But now that a lady of such mi m peach able ton as her Imperial Majesty ELIZABETH AXXLIE EUGENIE has taken ker up, her future is assured. When the. Czar of Russia and King of Prussia next visit Paris they will have to bring their wives. It is reported from Vienna that when the Snit sn visited that city last month, a smile passed over his usually hnpcissive countenance when he was shown the chain which the Turks in 1683 threw across the Danube, to prevent reinforcements from joining the defenders by water. He called the at? tention of his suite to it saying: "We dont make use of these things now-a-days." When he gets back to Constantinople, to ponder over the won? ders he saw in France and England, it is to be hoped the Saltan will find some things in Turkey which "are of no nae now-a-days." The projected new Suspension Bridge at Niagara Falls ia being pushed forward with great prospect of speedy success. Contracts have already been made for all the materials, except the wire, which the Chief Engineer will soon sail for Europe to procure. The towers will be 105 feet high; the span 1260 feet; height above the water 175, and width of roadway 10 feet The bridge is intended for the passage of carriages and pedestrians, and will be one ot the most substantial structures of the kind in this country. The tow ns will be com? pleted in about four weeks, and the bridge opened to the public early next spring. In the matter of titles book-makers have a great advantage over writers of article?. The title of a novel now-a-days is never expected to have any. con? nection or correspondence with the contents of tho book it d?sign?tes. But newspaper readers won't Stand this, kind of thing. If an article have an unattractive head it won't be read. Ii it have an attractive heading and the attractiveness is not confirmed by the text the journal loses it prestige. There is a special tact required in giving headings to articles. A specimen of adroitness in this re? gard was recently given by the London Cosmopoli? tan which commented on the reception of the Sul? tan under the heading of "Flunkeydom Flam by ant." Inducements aro offered by the New England Emigrant Company to stimulate emigration to Florida, whose mild, uniform and delightful cli? mate presents of itself a strong temptation to dis? satisfied inhabitants of New England. It is pro? posed to establish a colony on the St. John's River, the company providing a building for a church and schoohouse. Land ie cheap there, and the soil produces both the tropical crops and the northern cereals. A colony of a thousand or so bardy and industrious settlers from the North era States would undoubtedly prosper greatly, | and would be strong enough for self-protection l against social or other annoyances. , A Mobile gentleman, who has returned from a i visit to the East tarried at the spot where tho ? Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, and was so fortunate as to discover an extensive clam bed. The Bedouins in the neighborhood make use of : the shells of the clams in manufacturing buttons for their pantaloons, and our Mobilian at once con- i oeived the idea that they were the most suitable : material yet discovered for faro checks. He has employed several Arab tribes in the neighborhood i to collect a quantity of the shells, and is now about chartering a vessel to send for them, and establish in Mobile an extensive manufactory of that very important article. It will not belong before the genuine faro checks from the Red Sea w?l be the only ones considered orthodox by the devotees of tb? ancient game. |, CURRENT TOPICS. FEO M THE LONDON SOCIETY WO copy tho follow? ing reminiscences regarding perquisites: "Perqui? sites! Ahl when we come to a point on which I think ?hero should be some better understanding between thc "up-stairs and down." When I was a student at tho Royal Academy, with a moderate allowance from the parental purse, I used to spend my Eastor week at a friond's houso in tho country, whore an establishment was kopt on rather a higo scale. My railway journey thero and back, cab fares and other little incidental expenses, cost me on those occasions perhaps somewhat moro than I was justified in spending on such an excursion. But on leaving the house a tax awaited mo which I really could not afford to pay, and yet from which no young gentleman with any eonse of dignity could escape. My friend had a solomn butler-but of livery of course-with a bald head and an air of such tremendons importance that one instinctive? ly felt (at least I did) how delicate a task it was to offer him any gratuity at all, and how utterly im? possible it would have been to offer him anything Uss than gold without positively insulting him. The samo argument applied with equal reason to the housekeeper, a demure-looking personage, who. had break? fast served in her own room, and whom the other servants addressed as "mum." Then there was my friend's valent, who condescended to bring me my shaving-water in the morning and laid out my dress coat before dinner. There was another gentleman in livery who, during tho re? past, came frequently to me with offers of a "little sherry, little 'ock, sir," and so forth. Finally, there were the groom who brought round our horses to the door, the gardner who had always some trifles to offer in the shape of fruit or vege tables as I was leaving (no doubt they thought, j or pretended to think, that I had a house and cuisine ol my own in town, whereas I. lived in Bloomsbury lodgings, and my usual dinner con? sisted of a couple of chops), and the lodgekeeper? who touched his hat whenever I entered or loft the grounds. All these functionaries had, in turn, to be fee'd, and by the time their vails had been duly dispensed I was generally minus the best half of my last ?5 note. Now it soems to me that this system of servant-tipping requires revision. It I falls rather hard on our yoong friends and poor relations-guests whose parses are slender-whose wallets are not amply stored. A POPULAR ENGLISH magazino has an article on the servants of our period, from which wo tako tho following gossip regarding footmen: But true- I ty Jons THOMAS and profusely-pow doro ,1 CHA WLES, only hide their spleen, their indignation and con? tempt in the presence '.ol their betters. In the butler's pantry, at the ale-house round the corner, across the hammer-cloths of their respective chariots-sentiments are expressed which neither you nor I, dear Paterfamilias, could listen to un moved. I know an old gentleman-an irascible old gentleman-who, standing by chance one af tomoon inconveniently near the top of the kitchen stairs, after summoning his brougham for the second time that day, heard a favorite footman ex- j claim to the confidential valet : 'Tm blest if that infernal old noosance ain't ordered out the car- I riage again !" Now you know that was by no means a pleasant remark to reach one's ears in the de cline of life, uttered by a paid lack jy, the buttons of whose very coat were adorned with the family crest ; but I am not at all sure that the old gentle man to whom I refer was justified in tho severo retaliation which he adopted. The wretched Jenkins (let ns call him) was dismissed on the I .spot, and had nothing but a month's wages to consolo him in his adversity. The consequence was, no doobt, that he repaired to the Black lion that evening, and entertained his liveried friends with a very disrespectful, if not perverted, ac count of the affair. I dare say his late master be- j came a laughing stock of the bar-parlor, that his wig and wizen face, bia gout and gaiters, his pep pery disposition and general peculiarities were dis- I cussed in a manner which was anything but pleas ant. Suppose, instead of taking so summary a re venge, he had retired to his study, swallowed a glass of Maderia, just to steady his nerves, rung the bell, and told Jenkins not to talk so loud down stairs if he wished to keep bis place. Can't yon imagine how crestfallen the poor minion would havo been? what an old trump the man he served must thenceforth be considered in his eyes ? and with how much zeal be might have continued his service ? Bat, "who can be wiso, amazed, tem- I perate, and furious," as the Thane of Cawdor onco justly asked, "in a moment ?" No man. And upon I my word, when one comes to think of it, the pro vocation was very great. j LONDON SOCIETY BAA an essay on "Dinner in tho City," ia which, in the coarte of a description I of IZANT'S chop house, the following picture of its I head waiter is presented : "He is a great man, that head walter, and, except that all the attend ants at IZANT'S wear clean white blouses, would remind one equally of what the head of a Govern ment should be, and of a rural dean. On renee- I tion, the latter resemblance is most lasting in our fancy. He might be a dean, say taking a walk with his gardening coat on ; and be has a self-re? liant and yet pensive air of intoning the bill of fare which is infinitely impressive. The way in ? which he says to each new arrival-'Boast beef, boiled pork, hashed mutton, Irish stew, boiled fowls, roast goose, haricot,' is inexpressibly touch ing, and the tone'of his voice indicates a repose; a dignfied calm in which we trace the presiding in? fluence of the place affecting all those who look to him as an example. There is no hurry, there is even almos t an affectation of leisure which en? hances the promptitude, without which IZANT'S would soon become a byword and a reproach. , No little of this influence, however, may be attributed to the venerable proprietor himself, or to his son, a fresh, healthy-looking gentleman, who might well have ridden across country before the day's business began. Either father or son are on daily doty from the seo ward's cabin to the door, quick of eye, bat slow and sparing of speech, and with a courteous word ready to make the reckoning, and to take the customary penny (there are no waiter's fees, and we should be sorry to offer any such liberty to oar ecclesiastical 1 friend) of each departing guest. Out of tho hun- ] dreds to whom IZANT'S means a daily dinner con- i mating of a cat from Any one of three or four well- , cooked wholesome joints, fresh vegetables, and a : lit* ral allowance of broad, there must be scores , to whom every shilling is an object. When to the dinner we have mentioned is added a shoo of cheese and * glass of beer, there is change ont of ' that BhiUing, j.nc. surely no more need be said of 1 one of the principal, though not tho only one, of I those establishments which represents dining in the city. For ourselves, wo found that of the , three and sixpence already mentioned thero re? mained a bright fat florin with which to spend the evening. BLACKSAND IRON OBS was supposed, till lately, to belong only to certain localities in Great Britain. It is in the top slate of some seams of bituminous coals, and its discovery came from the accidental firing of a pile of slate, from which it cannot be distinguished till fire turns its color. The great value of blackband is not so much ia the quality of the iron as in the cheapness of mining and smelt? ing-being in the top slate of the coal voin, it is extracted at the same time with the coal. The anthracite coal of Pennsylvania has always been considered so different that this iron stone was supposed not to belong to the formation ; though the writer, years ago, made searches, and found traces of blackband in the anthracite of Schuylkill County. A year ago this peculiar iron stono was discovered in regular strata among the beds of an? thracite. The discovery was made by English miners who were closely examining tho strata for quite a different object. Tho discovery has more than doubled the valuo of the coal land, and fur? naces are being built on an extonsivo Beale in Schuylkill county, to make iron from this valuable ore. To California this becomes interesting, bo cause, though our coals belong to a later ago of geology, they were found doubtless under condi? tions closely analogous to the older depositions. And it is far from unreasonable to expect that blackband ironstone, or an available cquivalont, maybe found interstratified with our tertiary coals at Mount Diablo and elsowhero on the Pacific coast. J ou BEET says : Whether one is an eagle or an ant, in the intellectual world, seems to me not to to matter mach ; the essential thing is to have one's place marked thero, one's station assigned, and to belong decidedly to a regular and whole? some order. A small talent, if it keeps within its limits and rightfully fulfils its task may roach tho goal just as well asa greater one. To accustom mankind to pleasures which depend neither upon bodily appetites nor upon moneys by giving them a taste for tbe things of the mind, seems to mo, in fact, tho proper fruit which Nature has meant our literary productions to have. When they have other fruits, it is by accident, and, in general, not for good. Books whioh absorb our attention to Buch a degree that they rob us of all fancy for other , books, are absolutely pernicious. In this way they only bring fresh crotchets and sects into the 1 world ; they multiply the great variety of weights, 1 rules, and measures already existing ; they are 1 morally and politically a nuisance. j j LABGEBT CIRCULATION.-The DAILY Na WS publishes the Official L?t of Leis? ters remaining in the Postojjke at the end of each meek, agreeably io thc following section of thc Nero Posto?ce Law, as thc neiispaper having the largest circulation in the City oj Charleston: SECTION 5.

JOB WORK.-We have now completed our office so as to execute, in the shortest possible time, ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we most respectfully ask the patronage of our friends. OUR CORRESPONDENTS AND THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD. We have uniformly endeavored in the dis? charge of our duties to confine ourselves strict? ly to our own business; and it is our intention to continue to do so in future; however un tastcful such a course may be to a city paper, which displays a chronic anxiety to draw us into controversy upon some point or other. Thus, on Saturday last, we were honored in said paper by two separate articles, in each of which our name was taken in vain-thirteen times on the first page and three time3 on the second page. Too much honor. We of course feel highly flattered at so much "notice" from so distinguished a source, but as we have never made any pretensions to reciprocate it, we be? gin to feel uncomfortable under a crushing . sense of obligation. We know our cotemporary is tho very quint? essence of courtesy, and, therefore, would not he guilty of intermeddling in affairs with which it has no special concern. We, therefore, clear it of that charge, however some may think that its late railroad articles, answering THE NEWS, when not called upon for any answer, has tho appearance of intermeddling. It was quite correct in saying that "THE NEWS has no prejudico in this matter." We have not the slightest. We consider ourselves as staunch a friend of the South Carolina Rail? road as our cotemporary considers itself, and we have, on many occasions given proof of it. We must be excused, therefore, if we prefer to pursue our own course in thc matter, and de eli nc to yield to the dictation of outsiders. lt is true our correspondent "A. B. C." is anon? ymous-and unless we are very much mistaken, newspaper correspondents in this country generally, almost universally, write without appending their true signature. The anony? mous character of the communication, there? fore, was not a sufficient reason for rejecting it. The letter is one of a series that is being written for and published in THE NEWS, by nn old and distinguished merchant of this city-a man perfectly responsible for all he says or does; and if any one, who has a right to ask thc question, desires to know the name of our correspondent, such knowledge will be at his I disposal. We were asked by our cotemporary to copy a j reply to a communication that had appeared in our columns; this wc declined to do, because we knew our correspondents and knew them to be J responsible men; both old merchants of this city, very well acquainted with the subject upon which they were animadverting. No an- I swer to their strictures was addressed to us. An answer, however, appeared in thc columns of another paper. We had no reason whatever to believe that this paper was better informed on the subject than were our correspondents. ( Moreover, we cannot bind ourselves to read i what is printed in other papers published in , this city, for the mere purpose of ascertaining whether they contain anything to be copied into THE NEWS, We are not aware ol' any pa- j pers observing such a rule. Tho NEWS, therefore was not aware "that a I proper explanation had boen given." The ? position of the NEWS is not correctly stated. J We have no means of knowing who "knows thc truth." Weare told by our angry cotemporary j that wc did "not act ingenuously in the mat ter.'' We do not concede the point. As re- I gards the "prudence" of our course in "pub- J lishing such letters as that of A.B.C.", our cotemporary may put itself at ease, and allow I us to take care of ourselves. Of course we ap- j preciate such anxiety on our behalf, and are profoundly grateful for this delicate hint at our want of prudence, being fully conscious of never j having merited it by any similar service to our I well-wishing cotemporary, however often there may have been occasions for doing so. At the conclusion of the very angry lecture, 1 to which this article refers, our ootemporary I : says: "A. B. C. is not more to blame than the ! paper which gives publicity to his statements, and which appears to have deliberately adopt? ed the policy of making or publishing unsub- , stantiated ex-parte statements, and of permit- : Ling no refutation of them. This policy might possibly succeed elsewhere, but it will not sue- I ; seed in Charleston." Our policy appears to be strangely misunderstood. Our correspondent needs no defense at our hands, being fully able to' fight his own battles ; which, therefore, wo shall permit him to do, so soon as he returns, provided he sees fit to continue his strictures upon the Railroad, or to notice any quasi replies, given by self-appointed apologists. In regard to what will or "will not succeed J in Charleston," we must do our cotemporary J tho justice to acknowledge that his dictum has tho true ex cathedra ring. Listen : "It will J not succeed in Charleston !" Tpse d:'xi. Sir J Oracle has spoken. Whence comes his inspira? tion ? Who constituted our cotemporary the prophetic censor of Charleston ! ' THE RICE CROP. The two imporfant products of the country which have been most strikingly acted on by the changes brought about by thc war uro riee and sugar. One, a staple of South Carolina and produced to a limited extent in Georgia, North Carolina and Louisiana: and the other of Louisiana, but cultivated in Florida and Texas. In both cases the product at present is but a ' fraction of thc former growth, and they will < recover their previous position more slowly than any other prominent article of cultiva? tion. Thc crop of rice in the South will, we think, increase very gradually, partly in con- I sequence of the severe fever to which all white \ laborers who may engage in the cultivation J ure exposed, the considerable expense which I may bc necessary in placing in order the banks, ditches and trunks, which were neg- ( lected during the war and are much out of rc- ( pair, and the fact that, if no disaster happens, [ the crop will this year, notwithstanding the v limited growth of the article, produce nearly ? sufficient rice for the consumption of the coun- 1 try, which muy, wc suppose, be estimated at - 40,000 to 50,000 tierces. The home article is at.prcscnt protected by a duty which gives it an advantage over Ran- 1 goon, Bassein, Java, Brazil and other foreign '' rice, but the moment an excess is produced ? over the wants of the United States tue surplus ' will have to find a market in the outside world where it will be compelled to compete with - the cheap product of the tropics, At thc com? mencement of the present season the rice plan? ters of South Carolina were hopeful of a hand- ' some yield to the acre, and although this wish I nay in some instances be realized, the Hoods j if water which came down thc streams have in nany cases ruined or seriously damaged the :rops which were situated high up on (he rivers. There arc plantations which give prom? ise of a partial recovery from thc disaster, but jn others nearly (he entire crop has been swept off. But notwithstanding (he difficulties which have been in the wny of a successful crop, we are under I he impression (hat thc better condition of many of (he plantations and some improvement in (he labor will give a handsome increase on the yield of last year, and, should no disaster occur before harvest, we think the crop of thc country will approxi? mate tho following figures: CROP OF 1 S(i7. Tierce*. Wilmington (N. C.) district.1,500 Georgetown (8. C.) district.5,000 Santee.3,000 Cooper river.4,000 Pon Pon and Ashepoo.3,000 Combahee. 6,000 Back river and other pointe in South Caro? lina not before enumerated.8,000 Crop of Georgia ostimatod at. 5,000 Crop of Louisiana.. .10,000 45,500 RECAPITULATION. North Carolina.1,500 (South Carolina.29,000 Georgia.5,000 Louisiana.10,000 Crop of the United States.45,500 Showing a probable crop for the present year of 45,500 tierces of clean rice. These figures show a larger probable crop than some of our readers may have imagined, but a large portion will be consumed near tho place of growth ; particularly will this be the case should a reduction in the price take place, Charleston alone consuming before the war over 12,000 tierces per annum and only about 4000 during the year just terminating. The crop of Louisiana will also, to a great extent, be used at home. The probable growth of this last mentioned State is somewhat uncertain, and some of the late estimates placo it at an amount much above our figures, if we under? stand their statement. A Plaquemine corres? pondent of the New Orleans Picayune says that it may double what it was before the war, and states that the crop may reach 13,000,000 to 14,000,000 lbs., which, if he means that it will produce that sum after being milled, it would amount to near 20,000 tierces of clean, or double our estimate. The above calculations are only approxima? tive, as it is very difficult to procure reliable information from the planting region, and the above figures may be very seriously interfered with by unpropitious weather before the crop is secured. The yield of the present season, even if the above should be realized, will only be about one-fifth of the ante-bellum product when a fair crop of tho Carolinas and Georgia amounted to about 200,000 tierces.
