A French paper has compiled tho^following sta? tistics: In 1789 the revenue produced by the sale of to? bacco in France was thirty millions, which som in 1811 had declined to sixteen. Sui JO the latter date, however, an uninterrupted improvement has taken place; thus, in 1815, the amount was thirty . two millions; in 1825, forty-four; 1835, fifty-one; 1845, eighty-two; 1855, one hundred and thirteen; and in 1865, one hundred and seventy-five. The quantity of tobacco sold in 1815 was 8,981,403 kilogrammes (2 1-5 pounds avoirdupois each); at present it is thirty millions of kilogrammes. In calculating the consumption according to a popu? lation of thirty-eight millions, approximatively, and supposing that the use of tobacco commences at fifteen years of age, the consumption of each individual may be estimated at 2 kilos 144 centi? grammes. The ten departments in which tho number of smokers and Biiuff-takers is the largest are the Bouches-due-Rhono, Seine, Seine-et-Oiao, Rhone, Var, Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin, Alpes-Mari? times, Finisterre, and Seine-et-Marne. "In general, it may be said, that the depart? ments which contain the hugest garrisons and the greatest number of seamen consume the moat to? bacco. Besides Algeria, fifteen departments are authorized to cultivate the plant; namely, tho Alpes-Maritimes, Bouches da Khono, Dordogne, Gironde, IRe-et-Vilaine, Lot, Lot-et-Gorocno, Meortha, Moselle, Nord, Pas-de-Calais, Bas-Rhin, HftOt-Bhin, Haut3-Saone, and Hauto-Savoie. The annual produce is from twenty to twenty-one mil? lions of ailocrrammes, in addition to three million four hundred thousand from Algeria. The con wnmotion being greater than the production, tho dffioo SpracticaUy furnished by tho United sutes About fifty millions of cigars are imported ui France annually from Havana and Manilla. The Detroit Board of Trade has passed a resolu? tion that two hundred pounds shall hereafter con? stitute a barrel of floor. LKTTER PROM THE COAST. JOHN'S ISLAND, 8. C., August 19,1867. To the Editor of the Charleston Daily News: The Board of Registrara commenced their work at Legareville at 9 o'clock A. M. August 15th, and closed at 3 P. M. August 17th. The colored col? umn givos 775 namos, the white 13. There are probably a hundred more black voters who cannot como to time now, being down with fever. Every effort ?8 hoing made to bring out a full repr?senta? tion. The blacks nied no urging. The few white gentlemen were treated with cordiality and kind consideration. It ia believed that the whole num? ber of white voters will not exceed the figures here given. Ours is one of the three islands composing the Third Precinct, Wadmalaw and Edisto being the other two. John's Island will probably give the smallest number of white voters of any poll? ing district in thc State. There were many curiosities in names, manners, morals and intelligence in this crowd of appli- j cants. Considering the great number of blacks who assume tho names of former owners, the LEO ABES, RoFEBS and SEABBOOKS are scarcely rep? resented, while the name of SINGLETON ap? pears no lena than forty-eight times out of I eighty-seven names commencing with the letter 8. Thia favorito surname figures in all manner of con- I I n ec t ions, from the old-time Sambo to the aristocrat? ic GB AHAM E AELE, from the patient and pious HEZE- I I KIAH to the patriotic WASHINGTON, from the sober, I i solemn AKQODAB. to the dashing and daring JLA I FAYETTE WABWICX SINGLETON. All agree that the J [swaying, surging mass waa sedulously orderly, I Vein g kept in awe by the pompous and dignified I I Dearing of the black constables. The costumes of j these newly made citizens were as various as the expressions of their faces while the oath was being administered. That part of it relating to the holding of any office, Congressional, Executive, or j Judicial, in the United States and then engaging j in rebellion, must have struck them as peculiarly solemn and impressive, to judge from the drop? ping of the lower jaw and the rounding of the eye. They went by the sound muchliest, as Ward would have said. As to dress, yon saw the coat of the I h onored time of the revolution alongside of the tight pantalooned dandy of the day, while one proud, portly darkey actually glittered in the fancy-frescoed and brassy d'Afrique jacket of the long-lost "enfants-perdus." The raising of hands was always done with eclat. A few made mistakes, which reminded one of the story of the drill-master, who, in the case of some dull, raw recruit? had to resort to hay and straw, giving the word of oo ?or?? nd, hay-foot and straw foot for right and ie ft. Only one gentle man refused to touch the pen, until he knew what it waa all about, and, therefore wanted to get the right I of it. Three ont of the seven hundred and seven ty-fi ve enfranchised blacks were able to sign their own names, the rest "hand-signed," as they called it, by touching the pen. What ideas these dusky children of Uncle Sun had of the proceedings is rather hard to guess. One would think none, de fined and accurate, to judge front the answers given to questions put to thom. M. very, a very few, had a vague, vacillating ?vnd-rAtion, not ex- j pressed in positive terms on being asked. Others again thought they had come for the purpose of being counted. The majority by far labored under I the happy and ever-welcome notion of hearing a speech, while a minority bad already caught and clung to the word "vote," and thinking that was what they came for, looked for some mysterious manipulations hitherto unknown to them. Several venerable old darkies, having heard that the fran- I chise was about to be giren to them, came pron-1 ded with bags and haversacks to carry it in. They undoubtedly thought it was only a new name for J provender, rations, or commif* ?y stores, and were not going to lose anything for lack of ton nage. Many of those withered old faces are well known to the distributors of the Southern relief goods, both here and in Charleston; and tho inge* nuit y displayed by some of these aged dorks to se? cure a full supply of the Government bounty is J really surprising. One very old man made his appearance on the last day of the session, and was willing to have anything done-to him that the ge'men saw best, if they would only givo him a chew of tobacco, and let him go home be? fore sundown. Helertheart-glsddonod. . The few whites came in a body; discussed the meaning and porpoit of the oath, signed it, were registered and left, satisfied that their effort in stemming the sweeping tide of Black Republican? ism will avail nothing. Yet they regard it as a solemn duty to take this first step toward recon? structing their State. If, they say, (longness will only fulfill its promise and admit the States, they will cheerfully comply with all stipulations pre? scribed by that body. They know that Northern capital will not como in while the South is in this unsettled condition, and wimont that they can scarcely make their plantations pay their taxes and living, Everybody is pretty well satisfied that working on shares will not do. What the prospect for labor will be next year, np ono can conjecture. Th ero certainly must be some more regulated and systematic plan than the one now followed. Ne? groes working for provisions this year, aro raising their corn for the coming winter and spring, and, with enough of corn and potatoes to feed them, some more powerful inducement muBt be found to make them cultivate tho land. On this island they scarcely seem to care for or look to anything beyond the necessaries of life. One-third of the cotton land planted is thoroughly and hopelessly overrun with grass and weeds, and will not pay the J expense of gathering. The estimate made on this j year's crop gives % weak tvo-thirds average. K/SJ?B on the lands not given over to grass. Lack of proper drainage, and the loose system of labor ge h orally, are given as tho reasons for this state of things. There is some very fine seed planted on the island, but that of the colored people is mixed they hav ing paid as little attention to the quality of their seed as they did since to the working of their lands. A, State Items. THE RAIN OF LAST WEEK.-The rain of last week seems to have been as extensive as the At? lantic coast. It was heavy hero, accompanied by a heavy gale, causing a considerable fresh in the Pee Dee.. The water was not high enough,"how? ever, to do serious .darri" a ge to the crops: nor have we heard of any damage to our railroads, aa occurred in Georgia and elsewhere. Some damage was done to the bridgo being constructed across the river at this place, but not of such a nature as to delay the work. Wo are informed by Mr. Barnard that the loss in timber, flat, ?cc, will amount to some two or three hun? dred dollars, but wo apprehend no loss of time in consequence. We learn since that the flat, some of the ropes, timber, 4c, have been recovered-taken up at or below Society Hill.-Uheraw Adveriiter. The rains during the past week have been very heavy in this District, and it is feared that con? siderable damage has been done to the cotto n crop, and to the lowland corn. The Edisto River at this place was very high on Monday, in fact, higher than it has, been this year. The water is now subsiding. We have had very cool nights, and but very little hot weather this summer. [Orangeburg Ihmes. A garrison of about thirty soldiers under com? mand of Major Geo. E. Head, of tho Regular anny, arrived here last week and are encamped near tho I jail. We are as yet unable to account for tho 1 necessity of a garrison of troops at this placa, where both oivil law and military orders are re? spected, and when disobeyed, the penalties for crime rigidly enforced by civil authority.-Marion Star. The C Ain ese tn California. A San FranciMfj letter says: "The Chinese aro passing into our State by wholesale, and practical? ly solving the labor question. Over two thousand seven hundred have arrived within the last forty five days, and there are four ship loads more al? ready due at this port from Hong Kong: Theso men do not lose an hour, but go to work in the raines, on the railroad, on the ranches, or in other industrial pursuits, as fast as they arrive. I pass? ed a largo hall last evening in which some forty or fifty, evidently new comers, were at work at segar making, chatting away like so many magpies, but making their fingers fly at the same time, and turning out neater segara, and faster, than tho grumbling, drinking, discontented European work? men can. "I paifl a visit tho other day to onegof the fa? mous fruit gardens of Alameda, some three miles back of Oakland, on tho eastern side of the bay, opposite San Francisco. Among the great fea? tures ot this garden-or, as it is called in Califor? nia parlance, 'fruit ranch'-is a red raspberry patch of nine acres. The patch will yield from one hundred and thirty to two hundred tons of dohcious raspberries tiiia year. From one hun? dred to two hundred Chinamen aro constantly at work picking tho berries for the market. "The ranch ts owned by John Lusk, one of tho largest raisers of small fruit'in California. He receives on an average fifteen cents per pound, by tho box, for these bernes, and his crop of this single va? riety will j-ield him from $45,000 to $60,000 in gold this year. Strawberries, blackberries, and other small fruit, aro raised on an extensive scale by Mr. Lusk, but not in such quantities os tho raspber? ries. His garden is worth coming to California to see. THe Scientist?. Tho Hartford Courant presents well written skotches of some of tho leading men who partici? pated in tin meetings of the Academy of Scienco in that city. PROFESSOR HENEY is, since tho death of Silliman and Bache, the Nes? tor of all scientists. In his personal appearance ho is a cross between Lewis Gass and Washing? ton Irving, with far more of Irving than of Cass. His form, his agreeable manner, tho frimdly tones of his voico and a certain marked modesty of action, remind you of the former, while his fea? tures recall, in some shadowy way, tho latter. As he sits watching the blackboard, with his side to the audience, it would require no great stretch of fancy to conceive the author of tho ?'Sketch Book" before yon, the resem? blance being closer than in any person we ever saw. except in Lyman Tremaine, a well known political leader of Albany, who, across s room, is marvelously like Irving. He shows, in the slowness of his motions and the diminished strength of his voice, sigus of age, but his form is still erect and his faculties unimpaired. He presides with great dignity over the deliberations of the Academy-his official rank as the head of j our chief scientific institution giving him an un? impeachable title to the chair. His oommonts on all the papers as they are read evince the broad scope of ms mind, while the papers on chemistry naturally attract his closest attention. PROFESSOR AGASSIZ is physically, as well as mentally, the "heavy weight" of the ass?molage. He belongs certainly to Oken's "solid frame" class of which he told the Academy the other day. A person of average height, having a well developed physique and a massive Franklinian head, with a broad, high fore? head, an eve not large but bright, a pleasant smile, a kindly voice and manner-ne is still a man of handsome presenoe, and must have been in youth in the eyes of the other sex. A proper man aa one shall see on a summer's day. He is partially bald, and has just the slightest pos? sible stoop-this being the only indications of ad? vancing years. He speaks with a noticeable French accent, not Btrong enough to prevent his being easilv and distinctly understood. His mastery of the English grammar is so perfect that he is never guilty of the smallest sin against prosody. We may, indeed, use a more forcible phrase, and say that his choice of words would be remark? able even in one born to the English tongue. On this account, and by reason of a cer? tain popularity in his illustrations, ho is always listened to with enjoyment by the less erudite spectators on the back seats-men who are only just sufficiently learned to occupy the fifty-first chair of the academy. Agassiz possesses, too, that art-the result of broad, thorough and per? petual reading-of instinctively knowing a novel idea from an old one. When a thought strikes him his familiarity with the labors of his predecessors enables him to judge at once whether it be a fresh thought-a discovery, in fact-and in that case to make the most of it. It is this art which is lack? ing in all but the younger olass of our scientists, but which is characteristic of European investiga? tors. . No- one can hear one of Agassiz's papers without oeasing to wonder-if he. ever did wonder -that for the possession of such a man two hem? ispheres should contend, nor without rejoicing that in that contest our hemisphere was success? ful- _____ COMPULSORY KDI CATION. In a recent articlo on education in Europo, wo incidentally mentioned that this subject of com? pulsory education was attracting great attention everywhere at this present time. This question was brought before the French Senate on the 22d of July. It was advocated strongly by M. CHEVA - LIEB, who said that thore would bo but two objec? tions to the System: First; that it would be an interference with pa? rental authority; the second, that it would be ex? pensive. On the first point-after noticing en passant that compulsion already exists to some extent in France, inasmuch os the law of 1841, on the employment of children in manufactories, enacts that np to the age of twehto *they shall be constrained td attend .school-tho distinguished senator contended that Vs regards parents who do their duty lo their Ihildren, a compulsory law would be inoperative, Jot the reason that they would provide instruction 'ol their own accord; and that as to those who did not discbarge their duty the State had certainly the right to compel them, for the reason that chil? dren without instruction would not grow up into laborious, industrious and moral men, such as socio ty requires. With respect to the expense, M. Chevalier did not deny that it would be consider? able; but, be added, "thero is no comparison as regards the production of wealth, between a population whioh has received instruction and be? tween one deprived of it-between one remaining in what Boyer Collard calla tho happy ignoran oe of the brate, and one whose intellectual faculties have been developed by education, however sim? ple and restricted. ? One produces little, the other produces much; one, when it has produced, may and does make savings, that is oapital, out of its earning; the other has not the same ohanoe of J doing so." If the French should adopt a good compulsory educational system from Prussia, they would have something worth more to thom than a thousand such inventions as the needle gun. Prussia has 90t only ap admirable system of public schools, and an ample supply of them-more than 25.000 of I different grades-but it requires every child in tho kingdom, wno ia not in a private school or in a coarse of home education, from the age of five years, shall be in some of these schools, until the prescribed course of instruction is completed. This, in effect, secures the attendance orj Behool of all children to about the age of fourteen years. In 1849 there were more than 2,600,000 pupils in the publio schools and colleges of Prussia, out of j a population of less than 17,000,000, How much toij general education of the Prussians had to do with their successful handling of the needle gun, is a question which has doubtless often occurred to Napoleon and his ministers of late, and maj have an important bearing on the question of imi? ta ti np; the Prussians in the adoption of their com pulso, ry system of education, as well as m the use of the needle gnu, Tb? Dean ties of Religio us Tests. Among the speeches delivered in the House of | Lords on the question of abolishing "religions tests" at Cambridge and Oxford, that of the young Duke of St. Albans doserves special notice. He began by saying "he could speak for this cruel in? strument or moral torture from his own knowledge of its working at the University of Cambridge. He could remember there one instance of a stu? dent who took high honor in mathematics, another who gained the first degree in the same science (he senior wrangler of tho year. These gentlemen should have received the fina] rewards as students, rewards in whioh their colleges as well as themselves wero interested. But one held the tenets of the Baptists ; the other was tmember of that other communion which was ac io wledged by the crown and Parliament aa that of the state across the northern border. The tests stood before them to debar their farther advance, with the bribo of worldly advantages and its threat of worldly degradation, to tempt them to he to their Qoa ana themselves. He could well remem? ber, on account of the painful impression it made oil the minds of their fellow students, for further advanoement to them waa impossible, how they went away with the slur of nonconformity and ec? centricity, and took from the scenes of their early triumphs that excellence which would have had its scope there so usefully," He then discussed tho question whether tho universities belonged to tho nation or the eli ur oh, quoting repeatedly from Gold wm Smith, Warm? ing with bis subject, ho became radical. If the danger was said to be tho opening of the Senate, the governing body of tho University, to diesel t ers, he frankly oonfeased ho did not consider an entire.clerical government a wholesome one, At Trinity College, Cambridge, the pensioner who was lowest in the social grade of undergratuate life redeemed his presence at the colloge chapel by a fine of money, The soul of tho fellow-common? er was priced more highly: while tho nobleman's salvation was commuted at the highest price. It would surprise their lordships to learn that tho great College of Trinity, with all hor lands and all her wealth, stooped to increase her st we by a fine for non-attendance at tho holy communion, which was levied on all-Chijstian, Jew or in? fidel. SLATE-AMERICAN AND FOREIGN.-The Ameri? can Journal of Mining, remarks that " the use of j American slate, as material for roofing, is compara? tively ot recent date. Formerly the quarries of Wales supplied tho demand of the United States, which almost ceased with the introduction of fiat and tin roofs. In Great Britain however, and, to a great degree, upon the Continent, slate has always preserved its pre-eminenco as a safe, cheap, durable and ornamental material for roofing. In our own country, the revival of architectural taste, the fashion of French and Gothic roots, aud the high price or imported tin, have been instrumental in reviving and augment? ing the demand for slate. WaloB cannot even supply the British Kingdom; and we are thrown back upon our own resources, which are, fortu? nately, ampio. Tho business of quarrying slato for roofing purposes, which was bogun some years ago in the United States with considerable zeal, has sufferod various vicissitudes incident to the in? experience aud lack of judgment of tho early en? trepreneurs; but after many fadures, a degree of roonees has bcon achieved which places this in? dustry on a sound business footing. Our beat roofing slates are as good as those of any other country, and are furnished at a price which ren? ders them, especially when durability is consid? ered, cheaper, as well as bettor in many other respects, than shingles or tin. As for pleasing, ornamental effect, nothing can compare with ? roof of tasteiully arranged purple and green Ver? mont slates. THE HERALD. ?S PUBLISHED WEEKLY AT NEWBEBBY C. H.
