THE NEW YORK HERALD says it appears Unit the International Conference lately held in Paris in favor of a monetary unit for all nations have agreed tpon a plan, and that the delegate from the United States, Mr. RrcfiLEs, has forwarded to the 8tato Department a report of thc proceedings. Twenty nations of Euro?c ?md America were rep? resented. It is proposed that gold and silver, except for change in small amounis, shall be ex? clusively the money of the world; that tho five franc gold piece of France shall bc the mi metan unit, with its multiples; that it is to be based upon and divided by decimals; that all gold coins of the same denomination, by whatever nation issued, must be uniform in weight, diameter and quality, and be nine-tenths fine; and this mon-e] is to be a legal tender in all nations. Wo have not the tull report, but these aro tho principal features oi the plan. Tho p oposod reform will bo laid before Ccngrefas, probably, next session. Now, while we admit the inconvenience of the present svstcm, or rather want of system, among commercial na? tions, and think that a uniform one is desirable, this country should be careful about eu tel ing into and bin ling itself toa plan Uko this. It may be naauv years before wo return to specie payments, and it ii possible are maj yet discover that gold is t ot the best money or circulating medium. I .> >. >k ing at the wealth nnd wonderful future of this re? public it is pus-.bl.- v.- maj establish, and it may be tu our interest to establish, an entirely now sys? tem of currency, and that are mai emancipate uuiselveH altogether bom the old European sys? tem. We think it ifould be prudent uot to outer into any alliances of tue ?ort proposed at present. Wo certainh arc not prepared to assent to thc proposition that only gold and silver shall be a legal tender in all nations.

The subject baa uot booti formal!} considered iu Cabinet, but will probably be discussed at the session on Friday next.

HUGH McCULLOH, Secretary of the Treasury. By comparing the above with the statement for August 1st, wo find that tho debt-bearing coin m toro-?t has increased during the past month $36.781,050; th6 debt-boaring currency interest has decreased $66,320,60 ); matured debt not piesentod for pavmont has increasod $3 803.500, and the debt bearing no intere.-t docrea?ed $7.157.816. <o; leaving the total debt less by $32 803,706.75 than on the first of August; but as tho com m the troasury is $1.612,151 less than at that dato, and tho currencv $25,371,221.79 less, tho decrease in tho amount ol' tho public debt, less cash in treasury, is $5,850,330.96. . J. ii. Lamar, it is seen by the official records, is earnestly pressing upon the treasury the settle? ment of claims for captured cotton. The pajment of these and othor similar claims, however, has boo . suspended.for the present bv tho Secretan' of thc Trousurv, at tho request of thc committee. Tuoso heretofore sottlod by tho Secretary vere paid on tho principle pursued by Ex-Secretaries Ohaee and Fc6Beuden, namely: reserving thu power to supervise the acta of thc treasury agents iii caeca where proof was furnished of improper or illegal seizure. It should bo stated that a largo number of claims have hean rejected by the Secre? tary, throwing the claimants on the Court of Claims for redress. Tho sub-committee expect to bo in New kork next Monday to examine into the mode of the collection of customs, with a view to simplifying the system and to diminish tho ex? penses, and also into tho collection of revenue on epirit.i and tobacco, in order, if possible, to devise some inca:ia bj ? aicli frauds ilia , be prevented.

THE CROPS m THIS DISTRICT.--A gentleman who has travelled extensively duriug the summer through this Stato, informs us that the crops in this district aro far ahead of auv other section he has visited.

He has also met other gentlemen who passed through Anderson from Georgia and Alabama, and they concur with him so far as their observation has extended. {Anderson Intelligencer. Wo have observed in several exchanges state menta that the two bridges, at Societv Hill and Cheraw, will be ready for travel over them b* the middle of this month ; from the best sources wo do not find these statements confirmed. One of the engineers on the Society Hill Bridge, informed us on Monday last, that his bridge would not bu ready before tho latter part of October and that the ono at Cheraw could bardiv bc ready for travel bet?re tho first of October. "Wo learn that the bridge at Society Hill will admit of a railroad track over it, should it over be deemed necessary to use it for that purposo, besides being Uoed" for ull ordinary travel.

A FKKVEVriVK. We bare received from a subscriber in Beaufort an article from the .Massachusetts Ploughman, re? lating to tito uso of tite cider ad a preventive of thc attacks of insects, which we publish below. Tho communication vas forwarded to Gov. BUL LOCH, of Massachusetts by the widow of the late Consul-irenoral to Egypt. Tho writer thinks it might bo used successfully against tho aimy worm- it would be a choap experiment to try on tho caterpillar, which is now doing so much damasco on our Sea Islands : "The elder is a most wonderful preventive against all kinds of insects and worms that infest the vegetable kingdom, and at time9 utterly des trov tho labor ol man." ..'It was, like electricity, discovered by accident, and I think tho agriculturists will owe much to this accident, and to tho observations and exoeri mentsofthe inquiring, mind that discovered tho intrinsic value and qualities of the sambucus." .' this preventive is to be used in the following manner : 1st. For fruit and other trees, a strong solution is to be made by putting a quantity of the elder leave? into a larjre tub rilled with water, anti when tho water becomes strongly impregnated, wicha hand engine to sprinkle well every part of the tree with the solution, which must be twice a week. For fruit trees it would be better to sprinkle them bofore the blossoms appear, though there is no ?reat risk of injuring either tho blossoms or fruit. I tho sambucu9 treo was planted among the fruit and other trees, it would have the same effect, so that its branches might entwine themselves among those of the fruit tree, or tying a number ot its branches among those of the fruit and other trees, thc caterpillar and all other insects would disap* (..ar. 2d. For wheat crops and other cereals, but par? ticularly tho wheat, chichis often attacked with tin vcllows or mildew, occasioned by a email yel? low flv with blue wings, about the size or a gnat, which blows into an ear of corn and produces a small worm, almost invisible to tho naked eye, but when seen with a microscope, it appears to be a largo yellow maggot, the color of amber; this fly is ven- proliflo, laving as many as eight or ten eggs at ? time; they "aro tho greatest enemy to the corn crop, ibo method of using the elder in this in? stance is for two men to supply themselves with several bushes of the elder, and to go on each sido of the ndtrea, and to move the bushes from end to end, and so on back again, drawing them well over the ears of corn, before thoy are too far advanced. I think it would be preferable to apply the elder beforo the corn is formed, and whenever these flies or any other insects are discovered to have made their appearance, and they will im? mediately evacuate. :ld. Crops of turnios, cabbages, cauliflowers, potatoes, etc., are frequently c.estroyed when voung by being bitten by some kine? of insect, either flies or fleas, and which may be prevented by having an older bush spread to as to cover about the breadth of a ridge, and diawn once or twice over the beds, forward and backward. After ttde operation these insects disappear. 1th. The cock chaffer, or oak web, may thus be expelled by whipping and passing the eider bush over the parts they have assaulted, as they seldom lcavo any green thing untouched, but hold in ab? horrence the older tree, and will not epproach it. 5'.b. Tho army worm, which is so destructive to the cotton plant crops, I think may be expelled, if used as is heroin directed for the wheat crops, and thin great and formidable army, which brings ter? ror to.the planter, would very soon be compelled to surrender. The dwarf older (Ebulus), I should think with the army worm would be preferable, as it is much moro powerful in its odor. When they commen?a, their march onward it would be advis? able to lay branches of the ebulus on their road of marah, asthoy seem to defy everything in their destructive progress, and it would be well to take observations how they would manage to avoid the elder, wiiich 1 think will destrov them. This IB a suggestion of my own. As this preventive, the elder, has beei; thoroughly tested, and met with tho most wonderful success in all the other cases herein cited, and as accident has boon the means, through investigation, of doing so much for tho benefit of man, 1 am fully persuaded that tho agri? culturist.-, of our country would do well to give this preventive a thorough "trial. FRANCES A. MCCAULEY, Widow of th.- late D. 8. McCauley, United State? Consol-General of Egypt. The Danish Inland?. A report comes from Vienna that this govern? ment i? t feating with that of Denmark for the pur? chase of the Virgin Island, and that the sum off? ered ia $8.0110,000 in gold. The telegraph denies the truth of this report, but if the bargain is struck wu shall get three islands of some little size-St. Thomas, Santa Cruz and St. John, aud several others of no importance. The group was discovered by Columbus on his second voyage in ' 1491. Between Florida and these islands lie the four pieces of manifest destiny-Cuba, the Baba- . mas. San Domingo and Porto Rico. Santa Cruz is tho most important, haring au 1 area of 78 square miles, and a population, in 1850, . of 23,729. St. Thomas comes next, with 27 square miles and lii.fit?C inhabitants. St. John has 22 sq tiaro miles, and a population of 2228. Santa Cruz is about twenty miles long, from two I to six miles wide, generally flat, well watered, , moderately fertile, unhealthy, and subject to droughts, hurricanes and earthquakes. About 1 two-fifths of the laud is planted with cane, and i the annual su par crop varies from 12,000 to 40,000 j hogsheads. Tho cultivation of cotton, indigo and cofieo has dwindled to almost nothing. The har- 1 bor of thc capital town, Christianstadt, has a bad entrance, ana is full of shoals. ] St. Thomas is about twelve miles long, less than , three miles wide, lugged, bare of woods, parched and sterile. The aroa of cultivated landis only 1 2MO acres, half of which is given to sugar. The : free port of Charlotte Amalia is the contre of a , largo trade. The annual importation is estimated at $5,000,000. and the number of ships touching at tho port in 1850 was 219S. St. John is about twelve miles long, four miles wide, very uneven, with little water and a poor soil. Small crops of sugar and cotton are raised, and some care is givon to the raising of live stock. There i j good anchorage at Christiansborg. Srcnea at the French Debtors' Prison. At sundown, writes a Paris correspondent, tho keeper of the prison for debtors at Clichv, pro? claimed tho joyful intelligence that the bill was a law, and announced that tho doors would be open? ed at one minute past midnight. Great was tho iubilee of the prisoners ; so ereat was their de? light, tho absence of tho sex was not observed in tho ball thoy extemporized. Thero wore ninoty throe insolvent debtors then in custody. Among thean was one American. He was unfortunate in business and lucky in marriage. Ho carno boro with his wile, A French creditor discovered him and had him arrested, reckoning upon tho wife's foars and affec? tion to enable him lo recover the $1G,000 duo. Tho majority of mon now-a-days would roast their mother if tb thought $16,000 would be their re? ward for toasting her brown. Lopez only asked three times as much for playing Judas Iscariot. Our country people declined?0 roward the French? man's boldness HO munificently, and the husband wont to jail and boarded at the Frenchman's ex ponse. As the clock pointed to ono minuto past mid? night, all the prisoners whoso families expectod them ut homo quitted the prison, waking tho whole neighborhood with their glee. Twelve or fifteen prisoners, who knew they wore nut eipeoted, beg? ged permission to remain thal night tu jail. Be? fore farewell was bidden to those walls, tho silont and insensible witnesses of so many tears and BO many sorrow-fraught hearts, it became necessary to dispose of the insolvent debtor's property. It consisted of 1500 volumes, all presentation copies, and ?ome of them valuable books, as for instance H. Martin's History of Franco, Micholete History of France, and tho complete works of La? martine, Victor Hugo, Eugene Sue, Alex. Dumas, Balzac George Sand, ic. Moreover, two billiard tables and their acces? sories, a kitchen range, which cost $500, a good deal of kitchen furniture, bouches, chairs, various arae9, a good many yards of pipes for water, two athing tubs aud a valuable collection ut flowers, shrubs und trees. The insolvent debtors' com? mittee of management otdered all those objects to be sold, and tho proceeds paid to Prince Imperial's Society for loans to children. CHINESE DWELLING HOUSES. - In the article on cheap living, by Dr. Caffo, published in the Jour? nal <lc- Connaissances Affdica'e-i, we find some curioua facta concerning the way m which the Chinese have solved thai difficult problem. Thev do not giuw much wool, and are, therefore, be" hind us ih that respect, but thej loplueo it with furs and stuffs tbej make of cotton, hemp, flax and various Other libious roots. Thev have a prodigious variety of silks, which they "adapt to the different seasons, and are cheap enough to be within the reach of the most needy. Tho cheap? ness ol' fara m China strikes Europeans with as? tonishment; Aa rcgnrds dwellings, they uso stone, brick, wood or bamboo, according to the provinces, lt is trac, theil houses have uo teoo or upper Story, but their ground flours, built on an elevated pl [form arc rory convenient. Most large brunes in China have a court, with a south ern exposure tor the women ot the family, aud a garden to the noi l h. A lowu entire]) buift on this system, with wide streets, enjovs a much freer cumulation of air than our towns, with their loft\ houses und dien very narro? streets. There is a, singular system ul rent-paying in China, and which certainly does not appear to us tho most profitable. The tenant, on taking pos? session of the house, pays thc proprietoi a capital, tho interest iif which,! at twelve per cent., is large enough to covei the rent for three years. At tho end o? that rime thc- capital is return? ed to the owm i At Tion-tsin a house consist? ing o? six rooms and a rouit, maybe rented in this wai by paying down a capital of 500 fiancs, which i.> returned ut the end of that tune. In thc wai of food, the Chinese have turned evGrvthing to account that can more orio -' contribute to nourishment. They will fry silkworms in caster oil, oat roast dog, and make excellent, soups of certain birds' nests, which lat? ter, on the strength ot our own experience, we do not hesitate to pronounce real delicacies. On thc merits of tho two oilier dishes wo respect? ful y beg to withhold our opinion -Calignant. "Mu*i> has . harms to soothe the savage breast." CCSTAB serenaded the Indians with a brass bund for three months, and gave it up in disgust. It wouldn't work. The frontiersmen now clamor tor a wore substantial mode of warfare.

We were not DIVS eat, and are indebted to others for thc information which follows. Mai. John B. Moore was the first speaker intro? duced. He announced himself in favor of the Convention; declared the interests of both races wore identical (ind that, it waa taoir dutv to treat each other kindly; told the freedmen that their whito neighbors wore their best and only friend* denounced in strong terms all secret political so? cieties; aiimonishecl all classon to avoid a conflict of races, and assured the freedmen that arraying a black man's party against the whites would pro ve disastrous to them.

Wilkes next addressed the audience in a lengthy speech, mainly directed to the freed mo;, and entering fully into their history as a race a;.d introduction into this country, giving them praiso for past behavior, but especially during the late war. For this and other reasons, tho whites of the South were not ouly w?hng, but anxious to promote their welfare Ho favored the State Con? vention, and declared that, while soino good sol? diers were opposed to it, he know that the great? est opposition came from mon who woro in soft places during the late war. Hon. J. S. Murray waa then introducid, and in an able manner explained the object of govern? ment, and demonstrated the oecessitv for a stable government at this time. He then'gave a brief history of the introduction of slavery, and of the contests to which it led. Having remarked that all were citizens of a common country that God hud cast our lot together, and that we must live together either as friends or enemies; lie tuen warned the colored people against emissaries from the North-whose motives were selfish, and whose designs are destructive of their best interests. Ho also urged them not to identify themselves with any party, showed that the Republican party discriminated in favor of white labor, bv heavily taxing cotton, which was unjust and oppressivo. The speaker explained their civil and political rights, and declared that when these were secured to them, their destiny would bo iu thoir own hands, and that, with industry, eoonomy, educa? tion and moderation, a bright career was before them, but ir they recklessly made the white mau an enemy, and brought about ? conflict ol' ?ace?, their destruction was certain. ' Hon. J. L. Orr was then introduced, and ad? dressing the whites, advised them to register and vote for a Convention, as it*was folly and mad? ness to attempt to defeat that object. There were 60,000 negro voters, against 90,000 white, and as the Convention would look to the interest of the black man, it could not be expected that one of them would vote against it. He then admonished the freedmen that they must be industrious and save their money, and reminded them that if they attempt oppression of the whites now while in the majority, it might be visited upon them in tho fu? ture, when the oalance of power would be differ? ent, as no more negroes were to be brought to this country. He disabused their minds of the idea that they would obtain Ianda from the Gov? ernment, andfehowed that this was not oven de? sirable upon their part. Thc Governor presented every phase of the issues before the people with Eeat force and ability, and to the satisfaction of i hearers. We regret that fuller notes of hts speech are not at our command. The regularly invited speakers having conclud? ed, it was requested that J. P. M. Epping, of Charleston, be allowed to occupy the stand. That gentleman made a short speeoh, endorsing, for the most part, the speech of Governor Orr, but advised tho blacks to adhere to the Republicm Earty, and recommended to them the Union ?ague. He favored high taxes upon land, but told the negroes they were to have no lands given to them. He admonished them against a conflict of races, declaring that they would find 32,000,000 whites against 4,000,000 of blacks, and that the conflict would be short, and result in their ext rmi nation. Wilson Cook, of Greenville, and Elias Canady, of this village, both freedmen, also made speeches. We learn that Cook told the negroes they were to have no lands given to them, and that confiscation would work to* the detriment of their race. It would be the means of inau curating a war of races, and, in that event, be would not live in the State, though he was' given a thousand acres of land. From all that we can leam, Ibo speakers in? dulged in plain talk, without exception. Indeed, we are assured that the discussion was of that character to allow no room for doubt as to the opinions of both white and colored, and we trust that the impressions made will be doep and last? ing, especially in regard to the result of those extreme measures referred to by every one of the ?peaker*. - - -m ? m-: FHOM AN AK nc LE nv LOUISE N.
