Dr. HOLTON, says tho Time*, whose amusing attempts at clothing tho dry benes of anatomy with poetical beauty, causod our readers to smile a few mornings ago, has sent us a defensivo let? ter, in which he d?chu cs that his labors are really serious-which is tho vory thing we alloged and smiled at. Ho tolls us, also, that our criticism upon hut poetical modo of teaching anatomy comes rather lato, and that we ought to have raised our voice against it when it was first propounded thir? ty-three years ago-at which time, alas 1 our in? fantile voice was exceedingly foeblo, and at which timo the thou manly anatomist would havo had decidedly tho advantage ot us in possessing hard? ened bones while ours wore yet soft. The doctor thinks it probable that wo "novor had tho bonefit" of hui teaching-which is true-"or of otherwise looming the anatomical names of j this arm and thigh bones"-which is a great mistake. In fact, our strong point is in this very direction. We can tell our critic thc name and function of ovory bono in his body, from tho atlas to tho cuckoo bono. Wo know the name of ovory bono that Genoral GBANT bas-of every bone that Louis NABO LEON and BISMARCK. and the Pope and the Tycoon, and the Emperor of Ohma has, or that of Lord BURLEIGH, and GXSAB and NEBUCHADNEZZAR had, or that ADAM and EVE bad when they walked out of Paradise with their arms interlocked. This is a subject we cannot be tripped upon, and we shan't submit to any pi o tensious of superiority, even though our adver? sary be three tunes older than we are. The Doc? tor must excuse us therefore, for submitting to his instructions in the elements of anatomy-in which, moreover, the bulk of our readers are near? ly as well posted as we are. Beyond these points and the commendable fact that he recently gave $500 as a prize for the best essay on physiology and hygiene, his letter is of no osteological value. But be complains that we misrepresented him by a typographical error in one of biB stanzas, on ac? count of which wo reprint it : "The tibia and fibula Above, unite, near rotula, At knee, with long oe femoris, Whose analogue is humerus." The error was in printing the hist word humorous, which, considering tho subject, as well as the stanza and the condition cf mind induced by it, was certainly a pardonable error of the press. LA LIBERTE has the following picture of one of ] I the French Mexican chieftains: "MARQUEZ is small and slender; his looks are repulsive; his complexion is sunburnt. Ho walks with some diffi? culty, as he once sustained a fracture of tho hip by being rub over. He is a coward, for m the camp i of la Soledad or la Pulga, where the writer of those lines called upon bun several times, his tent was surrounded by guards, placed there by MASQUEZ, who was in constant dread of the adv?nt of the Juarists. MASQUEZ is an excellent marksman. His cruelty once afforded the writer an opportuni? ty to pass judgment upon his akin. His men had taken prisoner a youth of eighteen. MASQUEZ de ' cided at once that he should be shot as a traitor to [ his country, and granted him ono hour's respite 1 to prepare for death. The Curate of la Soledad visited the unfortunate. Meantime MASQUEZ selected ten men to act as executioners. Shortly afterward the prisoner appeared. The Lieutenant commanding the firing-squad stood aside and shouted, "Take aim I" As he uttered the*? words, a report was heard and tho prisoner fell dead. None of the soldiers had fired, but MASQUEZ, who was but sixty paces off, had drawn a pistol and carried out the seui-e. oe he himself had passed. ii is BOIdiera removed the corpse. MASQUEZ'pis? tol-bullet had entered the left eye of tho deceased wretch and lodged in the bram. A GABLE DISPATCH informs us af the death of Dr. VHLPXAU, the eminent French surgeon. ALFRED ARMAND LOUIS MAREE VEEPEAU was born at Briche, near Tours, on May 18,1795. He was the son of a farrier, whom, in his youth, ho assisted in his business. He taught himself to read and write, and by a treatise on veterinary art, which he found among his father's books, was led to the study of J veterinary art, of which he was soon to become ono of the most celebrated representatives. An ap? pointment ita the hospital at Tours, on a very moderate salary, gave him the means to Bettie in Paris, where he received, in 1822, the diploma of ] M. D. Tho remarkable energy with which he. pursued his studies called attention to him, and in 1830 he was named Surgeon to the Hospital de la Pitie. In 1335 he obit .ned the Chair of clinical Surgery at the Hospital de la Charita, and in 1812 he superseded the celebrated LARRI in the Acade? my of Medi?me He waa a very prolific writer on surgical anatomy, and was regarded as ono of the best piaehoal surgeons living. In 1859 he was ap? pointed Commander of the Legion of Honor. A VEST ERRONEOUS idea is indulged in by many people in relation to the hugest city m the world; many confidently asserting that London, or as it is frequently termed, tho Great Metropolis, is far superior both in size and the number of its in? habitants. But such is not the case. Jeddo, the capital of Japan, is, without exception, the largest ana most populous city in the world. It contains the vast number of 1,500,000 dwellings, and 5,000,000 of human souls. Many of the streets are nineteen j ap??ese-ri es in length, which is equivalent to twenty-two English miles. The commerce of Jeddo far exceeds that of any other city in the world, and the sea along tho coast i 8 continual ty white with the saus of ships. Their vessels eail to the southern portion of the nnpiro, where they are laden with rico, tea, sea-coal, tobacco, silk, cotton and tropical fruit?, all ofjwhioh can find ready market in the north, and then ro? tura freighted with eora, salt, isinglass, and vari? ous other productions of the north which havo a market in the south. THE STOBT started by the Now York Even.ng Post, now going the rounds of tho Radical press, to the effect that two Texan planters refused "to go home until they had shot a negro," and did finally bring dawn an unluoky darkey whom they chanced to meet, is recognized by the New Haven Registers.*, an old acquaintance, it having first been published in an anti-slavery almanac some twenty years ago, to illustrate the prevailing cruelty of slaveholders in South Carolina. ' 'After? ward," says the Register, "it was located in 'bleeding Kansas,' and did duty for 'two border ruffians,' who would not leave town until they had 'shot a Yankee.' It is au excellent bit of sensa? tion stuff, but we question the policy of using it oftener than on co in twenty years or BO. The in? ventor of the story was remarkable for modesty or for cunning-as he has nevor taken out a copy? right-but it is passing strange that a man with a thimblcfr.il of brains could for an instant believe ouch a barbe rous act could be committed with im? punity in any part of this country. THE PRUSSIAN ABMT is considered at present ona peace footing. A great number of soldiers have been dismissed to their bornes with an unlimited furlough, and, in order that the largest possible number of officers may enjoy a temporary' leave, there are this year to be no goneral manouvres but only brigade exercises. "However," observes tho Augsburg Gazette, "this pacific attitude is only apparent. Never has there been so great an ac? tivity in the mUitary factories and in all the arse? nals. Everything is arranged in such a manner that the Prussian army could at once enter upon a campaign, should that become necessary. At Somwerda, where the'first noedle-guns were manu? factured, as well as at Spandau and at Suhl, the work goes on unceasingly. Prussia is at this mo? ment ia a position to arm with rifles of a now and perfect construction not only the v hole of the in? fantry of tho Northern Confederation, but also (ho first band of the landwehr, and, if requisito, tho second." THE NEW YOBE Emma POST, commenting on the JOHNSON-GBANT correspondence, says : "Mr. JOHNSON'S leilor is tho production of a political theorist, who Uves up in tho clouds, and evolves what he imagines to bo a policy 'out of tho depths of his inner consciousness.' Such men, blind like bats, pig-hoaded, looking at all questions only as they affect themselves, their Individual 'rights,' their wills, their desires, their hates and preju? dices, make excellent clogs, but tboy accomplish nothing- Mr. JOHNSON has managed to keep thc Southern States under military rule ; ho has kept the country in a turmoil ; he has paralyzed in? dustry, kept down tho price of our securities abroad ; and with all this be has been the means of putting constantly severer conditions upon tho Southern States. TheBe are the results of what ho calls his 'policy,' which is simply thc 'policy' of au angry boy." AK ENGLISHMAN who has boen in Wash? ington daring the session of the lato Con? gress, thus gives his opinion of the personnel of the members. He says : " There is nothing statesmanlike whatever about them. I am re? minded all the whilo of a low style of pleading in court.

SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 31, 1867. JOB WORK.-We have now completed our office so as to execute, iu the shortest possible time, ALL KINDS OF JOB WORK, and we most respectfully ask the patronage of our friends. TUP CRUPS AND THE BUSINESS OF CHARLESTON. After undergoing a fearful struggle since the close of the war, such as few communities have had to encounter, we arc hopeful that the coming year upon which we are now enter? ing, will show commercially a marked improve? ment in the amount of business to be transac? ted over the past two years of gloom and de? pression. Our reasons for this anticipation are the generally fair crops of wheat, corn, &c, now secured in nearly all that section of tho State above the seaboard districts, amount? ing to tbreefourths of the surface and population of' South Carolina, which plaoes these people beyond Ibe reach of want for the coming year and in many cases afford them a supply of wheat, and some corn for market, and slopping the impov? erishing drain on the pockets of the people for tho absoluto necessaries of life. If our information be correct, the demand for corn in this State for the coming twelve months will be very light, the crops of upland cotton, up to this time, promise well, Abey are backward undoubtedly and have had in some quarters too much rain, but if we should be bleBaed with a late and dry fall, which we may reasonably hope for after the late cool spring and wet summer, the general prospect is for a much improved yjeld of up? land cotton when contrasted with the past two seasons. To offset this fortunate view all ac? counts represent the Sea Island crop of the State as in a most deplorable condition, and up to this time, owing to the damaging effect of the gale in the mouth of June, with the floods of water which have been precipitated on the plant throughout the summer and the general report of tho caterpillar, now apparently spreading in most quarters, it is feared that thc crop of long cotton now about to bo gath? ered, will under no circumstances exceed half the crop of last year-this, united with the present prospect of very low prices for this quality of the staple, will, we are fearful, pro? duce a trying crisis with many of our seaboard cotton planters, but should a late and dry season be vouchsafed to them it is to be hoped that the result may not be as gene? rally disastrous as present appearances would indicate. The rice crop of the State, except on the plantations high up thc streams which have in many places been drowned out, promise to afford a fair yield in proportion to the land planted, and should no disaster occur a hand? some increase may be expected ou last year's orop which will afford a timely assistance to thia much depressed branch of the agriculture of the State. The present prospect, we think, affords good ground for hope that the coming wintor and spring will see restored to our good city much of the trade which was lost to her for a time by the disasters of the war, but which we think will speedily return with large and valuable additions, if our people are only true to themselves, and bring to the assis? tance of the work the energy and business sagacity which has built up prosperity in other communities. We annex a list of exports for the past sea? son, with their approximate value, and an estimate of the probablo exports for the season just opening. EXPORTS FOE THX TEAR 1866-'67, AND THUR APPROXI?

The bundling of a large crop will also lead to an increased outlay in thc city for labor, compressing, and other necessary expenses, whicli will benefit many in our community, so that wc arc sanguine that the coming year will lead to an improvement in our business affairs. COMMON SENSE. If the history of thc United States Govern? ment during the past few years proves any one thing clearly, it is tliat the people of thc North have ceased to look with veneration upon the Constitution of their country. We look in vain for that loyalty to its principles, which throughout the war was everywhere exhibi? ted for thc "Hag" and for the "Union;" and this leads us to the inevitable conclusion, that thc war was a struggle for power rather than for principle, lt is openly avowed, and not merely by thc extreme radicals, that "the Constitution of our fathers" falls short of the exigencies of die present day, and that it is permitted to remain by suffrnnce only. It was by such cutting of the Gordian knot, that the Republican papers met the unanswerable arguments contained in the several veto messages of thc President. "The Constitution is out of date. The late war was equivalent a revolution and effected organic cluires in Ibo Governni that - only wait to brMigraftcd upon the (.institution, ?o beco? the written law of land)" THADDEUS SVENS, one of tho mosi fiuential leaders of jlitical opinion nt North, writing, Augt 2C, 18C7, on the rei cabinet and militarchanges, made by President, says that i had advised at the session of Congress the passage of an "prohibiting tho renral of District Comn ders, without the usent if the Sena "Some of the membeiof the Senate aeemei doubt their power nder the Constitut whick theg had just -pudiated, and outsid which all agreed thal <r were acting, else whole work of remstruction was.u patton." Here is a full andree confession from of the leaders in COD;CSS, that all the re? legislation of that b.y, relative to the Soi ern States, is unconstrjtional. When, thercf we bear in mind tho the Reconstruction A thus openly pronouced unconstitutional extra-constitutional, vere passed by Unanimous votes ol the Republican m bera of Congress, tho most conserva as well as the adical-including e men as the Hon. .EVEEDT JOHNSON, otherwise identified uh the party ; that l were passed in every iB tan ce by an overw ming majority of botihouses; thus certa representing the majtity of the people of Northern States,-wt can arrive at no 01 conclusion than that he people of the No certainly all those w'o vote tho Republi ticket, are ready to acept the tenets of t party in place of te Constitution. WI therefore, we make Urned arguments gi to prove that this orthat law is unconst tional, we waste ou. breath. We appea i an authority that is no longer recogni The New York HeraU expressed this bol at tho time Secretar BROWNING wrote masterly letter against the H o WAU D Amt ment, when it said, Lat if the premisi conceded, the ' conduaon is inevitable, the premise is deiiec. The Constitutier our fathers is a tiing of the past, and adapted to our p?sent times or eire i tances. It is all important hat we should bear tl facts in mind, and ??pe our conduct acc. ingly. As far as we aro concerned-th? j pie of tho ten unrecoaeruoted States-we h been denied "constituional rights" by President no less than >y Congress. We w declared rebels by both these depart ne nt the government; oir State governments w annulled, and our constitutions and our lt set aside. The only question between the scutive and the legidature, was which of two should have the, direction of ?ho quest of reconstruction. It is singular that this ? is now generally lost sight of by the South people, and yet it is a proposition perf. c demonstrable. The President offered to . reiistate us to rank we had forfeited upon th) fulfillment our part of certain corditiona. these con tions we m?de haste to accept; and there is reason whatever to doubt that nscl tno ?rt dent been left untrammelled, we should hi found no further obstacles io the way to c restoration into tb* Union. Congress, ho ever, interfered, an! at onte took the wh matter in charge. Whether rt had the right dictate terms to us or ntt, it certainly had t power, and the most concluive proof of t existence of this porer, vas that we so found ourselves undermiliUry government. We accepted the 'resident's conditioi Why? Because we irere powerless. 1 demurred somewhat, i is true, to tho, ] quirement regarding tie Confederate de) Now why, when we bund that Congre and not the President had the power dictate the terms of reonstruction, could t not equally accept the caditions proposed 1 them, as contained in he HOWARD Amen ment ? Because honor irbid ? Why shou honor have forbid our aexiiescing in the di franchisement of some sf our citizens, ai not our acceptance of tl? requirements the President of the Uniod States1.' But, it is said, Congresswould not have fu filled its part of the compct, even though v had adopted the Constiltional Amendmen There is no authority wjatever for such a sumption. On the contary, Senator SHH HAN, of Ohio, the leackr of the conservi live wing of the RepueLoin party, and tl author of the original lia ft of the preset Reconstruction Act, in a sjeech made on tb 20th inst, at Canton, Ohio, said: "Even now, if tho South, wth the spirit tin actuates Goners! LONGWISE? and others, won! adopt the amendment and elec loyal Senators an members under it, their a?mi alon to represent! ti on would be easy. 1 know that I say to you i true, when I declare that a maori ty of the Ropul hean Senators and anembe es wjuhf have admi tte any rebel State upon its adoplng the amendmer. and complying with terms. But during the set sion it was said by many So ahern men that tl: Southern people would gladi; accept the amend mont, but the machinery of JOHNSON'S loyal logic lation was in disloyal hands. They said they ha no promise from Congress iu ie many words ?ha if they accepted the amendment they would be ad mitted. It was to meet ther difficulties, and t settle definitely the status of ths rebel Slate for .ram ents and of the colored people, that the Rt construction Act of the last regular session ws passed." Mr. SHERMAN then gives the followiig rt sume of the history of the bil that is known b his name: , "You will remember, feilbv-citizons,' that th i Act includes all that waa passel on reconstructs: at that session. A great maiy things were pro posed. Some members were m favor of limite, confiscation of land; some in ft vor of military gov em ni on te; some in favor of resting the amend ment as already adopted by bree-fourths of th loyal States; but neither of hese measures me the asssnt of Congress. As to confiscation, i would be a proper and just measure of punish mont in some cases to taketh? land of leadinj rebels, bot a general ?ye lem of confiscation as i mode of punishment is BO uiusual a measure ii our country, and its evil effects on the innocent a well as the guilty has beens) lasting and disas tron.B in Ireland aud France, Hat I should hesitati long before agreeing to it.

They ari so regardod, and their contimance should not b< an hour longer than to enforci that object "The bill, as it passed tte Senate, with th? hearty approval of every Republican Senator, witt perhaps ono exception, went to the House. Ii was based upon the broad principie cf nniversa suffrage "A large majority of the Republican memben of tho House were ia favor of this bill withom amendmont, but tho Democratic members, unitiuj with a portion of the Republican members wlu wished to make the terms more severe, resorted t< parliamentary tactics, and by this means had it st amended as to exclude from voting a considerablt portion of tho Southern people. "But for this action of tbi Democratic mom hors, every male citizen of tho South could havt participated in reconstruction "It is my opinion that the amendmenta made ir the House have weakened thi practical operationi of the bill. Upon one of them recognizing th? rebel government as provisional, Mr. STAJTBHBI bases bis special pleading, by which he sought, in plain violation of the declared purpose of the bill, to entirely nullify it. "It is a remarkable fact that the only effect ol the efforts of the Demoeratit party, and of the President and his Cabinet, to force these rebel States into Congress without terms or conditions, has been to hinder, delay and obstruct reconstruc? tion, and to make the terms nore onerous on the South. They could have secursd the admission of the South upon the basis of the Constitutional Amendment; but this amendaient, so just, gener? ous and liberal, waa met by vetoes and flores op? position. We could have secured reconstruction upon the basie of the Senate bill, but with a blind fatuity like that which guided tho rebela in their whole BtniRgle against the Union, they resist every effort for a liberal settlement, in the hope that tho loyal people will become woary of the content, mid then they will got the rebels back as their political allies." What then is the moral of all this to us? hat -there are two parties in the North fight ng for the mastery-represented at present >y tho President and the majority of Congrega. iVe have no part in tlii-t coolest. Our duty iliould bo plain, viz: tu accept tho terms of? fered us by Congress, and thus contribute, in he only way for us passible, toward a speedy .emanation of the struggle that now disturbs ;he country, and is ruinuus to every interest of the South. A contrary course, we apprehend will entail miseries uutold. Evon though it were at? tended with no worse consequences, it will cer? tainly delay reconstruction, how long, it is impossible to say. Already Northern papers, heretofore moderate, speak of general disfran? chisement of all ex-Confederates, in case of the non-acceptance of the present plan ; of confiscation, and of banishment even. We do not say that such a courge will bc taken ; and certainly wo do not say that such a procedure would in the remotest degree be in accordance with the letter or the spirit of the Constitu? tion of the United States. Still it is well our people should know the alternative that is pro? posed, and by many advocated. They will then be better prepared to act intelligently in the discharge of their duties as voters for or against a Convention. WANTS.
