Upon arrival of cotton at place of destination the transportation company must deliver it, to? gether with tho p. unit of the assessor, to tho collector of in.ernai revenue to whom tho cotton is consigued, and at tue same time the company must deliver to tue assessor of tho receiving dis? trict accompanying metahc tags: if they UK uent nnattached to bales, together with a copy of their manifest or way bills, so far as the same relate to cotton, an account of which most bc kept by said assessor, as hereinbefore recitod.

Under this provision of the law the collector, immediately upon delivery of the cotton to him by the transportation company, will dis? pose of the.cotton aud the accompanying (>enuit of tho assessor in tho following manner, viz.: It the cotton was not ofnciallv weighed and tagged, the shipping district collector will have it weighed by tho officer appointed for that purpose, whose duty it will be to affix accompanying tags, to be delivered to him by tho assessor, and to mark on each balo the gross weight, as hereinbefore di? rected. In such case the weigher will make dupli plicato certificates of weights.

Whether tho cotton was woighed and tagged in the shipping or in the receiving district, tho col? lector will require the tax to be paid before he al? locs the cotton to go out of his possession and custodv. If tho tax is paid immediately, the col? lector will on tho same day deliver or forward to his assessor the accompanying permit of tho as? sessor by whom the removal was permitted after eudorsiiig thoreon certificate of pavment of tax. In case tho tax is not rmidjimmediately, and the cot? ton is held and s ion?d bv the collector as herein? after directed, he will deliver to his assessor tho accompanying permit as above directed, bot chauging the certificate so as to read as follows : I hereby eortifv that tho tax on the within described cotton, amounting to-dollars, not having baen paid, I have stored tho cotton, and now hold tho warehouse receipt of-for tho 6ame. The assessor, on receiving said permit, with en? dorsement of the collector, will make proper en? tries ou his account of cotton received, and will then transmit the permit to tho collector of tho district in which it was issued. When the col? lector is obliged tc retain custody of the cotton consigned to him on account of failure to pay the tax immediately on its arrival, he shall cause the samo to be stored in some suitable warehouse, tho owner of which shall have given adequate se? curity for the safe custody of such cotton, and Bhall take a warehouso receipt from such proprie? tor. Charge for storage must not exceed the uBual I f rates. Tho collector will in no case permit the owner of f cotton, hts agen? or factor to have actual posses? sion of the Name until the tax shall have been fully paid. If tho tax i9 paid before the expiration of | ninety days from date of the assessor's permit tho amount will be reported. If the tax is not paid before the expiration of ninety days from date of j the assessor's permit the assessor will at once certify the tax to the collector for collection, and if necessary the collector will enforce collection by distraint and Bale of the cotton. In such case the assessor will cntct the tax on bis next monthly list j ( and both he and the collector will enter the proper credit in tho bonded account under t he heading of " collected by chstraint and sale of eotton." 1 Whenever the tax is paid on cotton shipped un- \ der bilks of lading, the collector receiving it will j doliver to the proper person his certificate of pav? ment and permit for removal. The followii.g words ' must bo printed or written in red ink across the facoef the permit, viz.: ' ; ais permit authorizes tho transportation of such nales of cotton only as bear metallic tags, lettered and numbered as herein described." In case it should be desired to export part of said cotton and ship part to another port in the United States, the collector may give separate certificates and permits to cover each lot. In BUC'I case the permit covering the lot to be expor ed, must be delivered to and taken up by the collector of customs at the port of exporta? tion, who, after cancelling the same, will transmit it to the assessor of the district in which it was issued. 11 The permit covering the quantity to be shipped to a port in the United State . must bo delivered to the collector of the district in which such port is situated before the "landing, discharging or <lo livoTv of such cotton at tho placo" of destination | \ can be permitted, and sa;d collector will, alter cancelling it, transmit said permit to the assessor of the district in which it was issued.

To the Editor of the Charleston Daily JV>/."s : According to the census of I860 thero will about 18,000 majority of votes for freedmeu abc the whites in the Slate of South Carolina, a about 14,000 majority for them ?ti the State Mississippi. In every other Southern State t whites wilt have a majority, amounting in tho ? gregate to 2t50,00O-whilo tlie-majority ot' whites ?ll thc States together willbe as eight to one, as 32,000,000 are'to 4,000,000. Thus.ataudat ca6e, and from these premises it may be useful iraw a few conclusions. If tho freedmen thiuk it prudont to do so, til have it in their power to fill tho Convention wi colored delegates, and the Legislature with color Representatives, and elect coloredRopreseutativ and Senators in Congress, and, in fine, to ta! into Iheir own hands all the political power in t. States ol' South Carolina and Mississippi, but no other Status than those. I say :iif they think it prudont to do BO," b jause it may not be for their best interests to ta into their own hands what the unforeseen oven 5f the war have accidentally offered to thei Congress has not given them the right to vo bocauee their advancement in civilization and ii :elligenco has called attention to their peculiar il noss for the enjoyment of auch a privilege, b iiceausc it can be used just at thia time for a vei mportant purpose. Politicians and statosmei dike, ace a present advautage in availing then selves of a vote thoy can command in reconBtruc ing the Government upon Republican principle ind so- far they intend to use it. If the white rad cousented to do tho work themselves, Cor Treas never would have called for any other assis ince Thia they refuaed to do whon they reject? che FfowAttD Amendment to thc Constitution, ac t then became necessary lo call upon the ffeet nan to effect what conld not be done without h: isaiatane?. In this way he has been allowed t roto, without any other qualification than ag ind residence. Yet, all thinking persona know :hat neither age nor residence can qualify an un educated person, to understand the principlea c ho government he is expected to BiiBtain. Somi :uinc more ia necessary, and can only be foun n virtue and intelligence. Hence, it ?B a great pul ic calamity, when tho interoats of civihzatio ind progreas are thrown into tho hands of thoat ?rho without any faith of their own, aro mental! incapable of protecting them. It might be som Mit ward distinction to an individual to be ap pointed the pilot or engineer of the Ci real Easten ii a voyage across the Atlantic, while crowde irith pasBongois to its utmost capacity- but i .vould be little leas than murder, if he accepte meta an appointment, without the requisite qualin rations, and in consequence thereof the lives r :hoso passengers were-lost. Tim voter? are th mgincors of this great nation, crowded with hu nan lives, and charged with tho most importan nterests of humanity. To protect them, at th mllot box. their interests must be understood ind if they are uot, the fate of the whole countr ?fill bo placed in the banda of artful men, who wil v.ntrol ignorance and want, by the thousand de ricca that neverfail to maka successful appeal ;o those who are both dependent and unwary. The voter must. " think," or he is unlit to bo o isrvice to bia couutry in the many intricate quee ions of public policy which aro expected to hi loterminod by his judgment. The effort, there Ol**, infill luther be. to restrict than enlarge tb'i irivilege of voting, and this without distinction c< ace, or color. In the early history of the Stato ol louth Carolina a properly qualification was en grafted upon tho Constitution, in olectiona to ho Sonata and Hou80 of Repreaentativoe, md would have remained there much longei mt for tho artful appeals of candidates *o the wejudices of the maBses, who were easily nduced to demand that such a "reflection ?poii the humbler classes of tho people should no onger continue in a constitution made for free 11 cr.. But, with tho wise and virtuous, it han ?ver been a source of pain that some qualification ras not required of every voter-some degree of ntelligence or aoine amount of property. The itateamen now in Congress are fully alive to this i-cessity; but they nco another of far greater im jortanc? juat at thia particular criais in the un? ion's life, viz: the recoubtruction of the Union, t ia the demand of civilization and progress, and ivory instrument must be employed that can be nado useful. Ko doubt considerations Uko these must har? lad their influent1 . in the unrestricted auftrage by rhich the important ?venta now in progreas aie irpocted to bo accomplished. There are others of ,'reat potency, which all will recognize aa hav ng their foundation in the plainest justice and ight, that must claim f.ir all elasaea liable to be .fleeted bj' laws some agoncy in the enactment of hem. The extent of that agency is tho groat point if controversy; not, however, to 'ie determined now, mt naturally entering into the discussion as to fhat may bo "prudont" for the freedman to do in his his first exercise of the right to vote. It is "prudent" for him to show that he knows tow to uso this privilego judiciously. The Con ?cntien must be held, and the freedman is all ?m lortant in carrying out that measure. Will he act udiciously, or will ho place himself in a position equiring the most profound statesmanship, sim )ly for the eclat attached to it, when he must know hat he is unfitted by education to discharge the mportant dutiea thereby devolved upon him? rina ia a serious queatioh, and ia abortiv to be de crmined br the course thc freedmen will pur? ine in the election of delegates to tho Convention. Their friends are looking on with anxiety to ace if hey will mah into auch poaitiona, when they .auaee all around them others of their fellow ntizens, who have every qualification nejesaary ind are only wanting in that shade of complexion vhich belongs to tho majority of voters. They ire concerned to know whether a freedman would ?refer a eolorod bnr'o, that ho* knows is unable to lo the work required of him, to a horao that ia lot colored, but has every other qualification de? sired. Tbey have tho power to choose for them lelvos, and in thc choice they may make will dc nonatrato to the world whether they can bo de? fended upon hereafter in other questions of public jolley that aie to be determined bv tho voto of thc jitiz?ns. If, in their first usc of thia privilege, it s jail appear that they iutend to consult their pre udices only, and forever turn their faces from ;hose of their fellow-citizens who have the misfor :une to be ol' a different color, what other conclu? sion can bo drawn, but that they can sae no use in lualiflcationa for oftico, except iii.tho color of the jandidatc 1 Now, il this is to no forth to the ?vorld aB'the principle upon which they iutend to iel hereafter, it may operate very fatally to their fil? tre prospects. Por the Unirift is a family ol States, and all of thom are necessarily affected by ivhat may transpire of a public character in either if the others. The respectability of the entire family depends very greatly, therefore, upon the position which each member of it mav occupy be? fore the world. Massachusetts, a State that is most prominent in advocating the claims of the freedmen to the equal protection of laws, is inter? ested in the evidences they may furnish that those lairs may safely bo en truste! to their keep? ing, and they cannot be indifferent to the choice which the freedmen may make, of the agent? they intend to employ in that particular duty. If they nill bc satisfied that, the blind shall steer the -hip oiBtate, the other States of the Union can see nothing but danger in an association with those who ure reckless ur Indiff?rant both aa to their own and the national interests. WbUe it i:< but natural that the former slave should g"rard Ins present lights with excessive caution, and it is proper that every allowance should be made for any suspicions he may enter? tain of the fidelity of those whose power ho has so lone been the subject of, yet wberevei it eon be -bown tnat (bose suspicion.-, ought not to have any weight ttl all in the selection of the candidate, it may reasonably bc expected that they will no longei be entertained. How stands tho case nt present ? ? ungiese leis in itu own control the ad? mission of the Southern States. lt baa declared Unit thu Constitution ol'each innot guarantee thc political equality of even citizen, without UIEJ tinctiou of race Ol color, ll has also declared that whatever ni -. \? ?lone in tbc.Convention . that .ire to mi i : shall be submitted to tuc people for their approval, and it has reserved to itself a final de? cision, whether the proceedings are in accordance with ita own vier?* as io the principles to be re cognized, und the rights to lie acknowledged, sn thal whatever the Convention.1 may do. before it becomes the law nt the land, and binding upon anv one ht all, it must bc approved by a majority of the vottt.'. and paaa undci the inspection cf Con? gress itself, and bc approved, as covering the whole ground of full and ample protection to the freedman. Thia ia tho great duty of the Conreo lion the performance ol which is first tc br, ap proved by thc freedman Inmse? ??ia attcrwards by Congress. Sorely this ought to satisty excessive caution'itself, t-i it ia uot possible that suv delegates .au eithei transcend or rail ut the special duties assigned them, without beinK collected either by thc people themselves or bv tho watchfulneaa ot Congress, and therefore tn lois au absolute certainty that the freedman will be amply protected, even should he send as delegates thc woist eucmies ho could lind. Why, thou, should he refuse to the white people the very email deeree of confidence necessary for their appointment as delegates? The whole world will asi., tikij ? Is is because the freedman wishes it to bc understood Hint he intends to degrade *nd oppress the whiteman, simplv because he is white? that he intends to exclude him from nil offices and places of trust in a government which ho is fullv qualified, by his intelligence, to fill, and for tho support of which his properly is obliged to con? tribute nearly the "whole amount of taxation? Ia he hereafter to bo a mere hewer ot wood or drawer of water in the State, entitled to no privilege but that of voting for a colored ropreaetatn e, who only uses his office to exclude tho man who voted for him, from a similar privilege? To all this the freedmen will say, "No-we in? tend no such injustice to our fellow-citizens who are now only our equals-we are willing to treat themas such, and will demand of them nothing more." Vet if they are now excluded from tho Convention, no other conclusion will be drawn but that the whites will not be trusted, even where they cannot possibly abuse that tiust; and the white people of Massachusetts will condemn that decision as the verdict of ignorant, prejudiced minds that refuse all light, and, not satisfied with equality, intend to demand that the African may taunt the white man with his color, and declare t? the world that the nation has no need of his intel? ligence. On such a question as that, 32,000,000 will vote against 4,000,000, and it will be settled i forever, and buried too deep ever to bo exhumed. Will it be -'prudont" then, for the present ma? jority in South Carolina to exclude white dele? gates, under any delusion, that thc time will ever come, when they will no longer be regarded, as a power in the State ? For it must not bo forgotten, that in every Southern State, except South Caro? lina and Mississippi, tho whites aro in a majority which majority in the aggregate oxecoda 200,000 ot voters. What then would bo the use, of a short? sighted local success, in two onlv of the States of the Union, if thereby the jealous'v of 32.0!i0,000 of people was aroused, and the Constitution gained ground, that tho freedman was satisfied with equality under the law, had determined to exclude tho whito race from all participation tn the affairs of tho government ? Just at this time the public mind is convinced, that tho sooner the freedman's rights aro secured under a new Conslirution, the sooner their own will be restored, under the Constitution or the Unitod Statea. Some few have fashioned for theniselvss an appetite for military despotisms, but tho great mass of the voters aro more hopeful of the futuro, and aro not prepared for such an alternative. They earnestly desire the restoration of civil government, and see vorvplainlv that there is but one evonne through which to" reach that object, and that avenue is the plan pre? scribed hy Congress. In that plan, tho political equality of the freedman ia uppermost, and from the very necessity of tho case, the people must consent to, and establish it, bv sticM firm guaran? tees, as will satisfy the watchful care of a jeal? ous Congress. It is their iuterosl to puah forward every meas? ure that will satisfy Congress, and settle'forever overy disturbing question that agitates the coun? try, for tho Southern people want "peace;" they want to see the sword returned to the scabbard, and they intend to accept tho conditions upon that event. The Convention, then, is their hope; they wish to see it in session at the earliest possible moment, and they wish to see it composed of delegates who are learned in practical olyloso phy and are virtuous in principle. Thev desire to see all that Congress requires for the' freedman done, and well done; and they desire that the dele? gatos who meet there shall command tho respect of all mankind, by the high character they have heretofore maintained, and thereby insure for the work they may do that veneration'which is duo to tho deliberations of wise and -.irtuous representa? tives. But very few of tho whito peoplo, with all tho advantages of education which they have had, would be bold onough to accept soats where their want of the nocessary qualifications would onlv attract the ridicule of the world to themselves and the results of their deliberations. Tho freedmen have all noticed how few there hHve been in former times amongst the whites who would declare themselves candidates for the Legislature, which is an inferior body; and they havo also observed that iu the conventions heretofore held, it was thought necessary to send tho most distinguished gentlemen of the State. Why is it not equallv necessary now ? Everyone knows that it is; the freedmen know it SB well as others, and upon them will devolve the duty of organizing an assembly that will do credit to their judgment or involve them in ridicule, which will rob what they may do even of the respect of its friends. Before dismissing the subject altogether, ono more consideration will be presented, and that is that the freedman cannot have a distinct interest from his employer; thoy aro both rowing in the same boat ; they must striko together, or neither will make progress. Having heneoforth to be free citizens of the same State, they have an equal in? terest that its public affairs should be judiciously managed, and to effect this object they should seo that the intelligence and virtue of the country must bo summoned to the task. Neither race can proiit by oppressing the other, as peace and har? mony are valuable to both. Heneo it would be correct policy to unite in making this Convention what it ought tobe. Elect the very best men in the ?tate, and if they should happen to bo white, let not that bo an objection, as their duties are de? fined, and the performance of them must pass the inspection of Congress. l'he writer is not without a strong confidence that this will be the decision of the freedmen*, that in every portion of the State they will nominate and elect white delegates, and thus' present to the world tho very best ?vidence that they can use ju? diciously tho privilege which has been aeeoidod io them, aud thereby encourago a contiuuauce of the power which they show they know bow to use so well. They have" the opportunity to secure tho confidence'of Congress for the future; bul if thev reject it, they may awaken fears that it will be necessary to trust them no further. TheBo thoughts have beon prepared in their present form for the consideration of .ill run corned, aud the writer will think himself amply repaid should they recommend themselves to ii majority of the voters, with whom will rest tho character and respectability of the Convention.

Oharleiton: Jmuph Walker. 1H67. We have received frota (lou. JOHN A. WAOENER, the Commissioner of Immigration, a copy of this pamphlet, to which is prefixed a good map nf the State. In this supplement No. 1, Gen. W% speaks of the obstacles our agents encounter in Europe tran the slanders industriously circulated there against the South by the agents of the Western Statea. Our Commiasionor very properly saya: "I will not pay thom baok in their own coin, but ?imply, plainly and fairly indicate, for thc renee lion of the immigrants themselves, buch informa lion as may assist them iu coming to a rational and correct conclusion." He then briefly adverts, 1. To tho Bureau itself and its agents, and to tho laws passed bj our Leg? islature for the eneonrgement and protection of the emigrant. 2. To the Registries : The lands already registered at the Commissioner's office show that tho pricos <lo not excesd those of lands in thc State. "To encourago immigration, many of our landholders have patriotically mado the most liberal oilers in ii number of cases; lands that, before tho late war wero rated at forty or fifty dollars per acre, have been registered at five and ten dollars per acre, and, in some instances, the improvements cost actually more than thc wholo amount asked for a plantation. In most cases th3 tracts aro susceptible of profitablo sub? division, and may be purchased by associations, ami settled ni small colonies." 3. L.wv AND ORDER.- Under this head General WAOENER shows, from the United States census of 18(10, that crime is less prevalent in out State than in any ol the New England, Middle or West em States. Thus there were iu prison June 1, 1800, in South Carolina, only hs persons, or 1 in 7996of the population of the State, while at that very time there were in Massachusetts 1 in 159; In Michigan 1 in 91C; in New Hampshire 1 in lGSfl; in Wisconsin 1 in 2199; in Pennsylvania 1 in 2503: in New York 1 in 564; in Illiuois 1 in 3509; in Ohio 1 in 37?"); in Indiana 1 in 475?; and ?ii Minnesota lia 5371?. 4. Ot'K llESOirscES. This purl of thc subjecl is so familiar to our readers that we deem it unnec? essary to quote Ibo General's remarks. I 5. TUE ADOPTED CITIZENS IN SOUTH CAROLINA. I'What can bc more positive ti. the immigrant and eusier understood than the success of those that have preceded him? The prosperity of tho adopt? ed citizens of this State has been greater, moro permanent and general, than anywhere ellie, ami they have.been treated with greater consideration and less prejudice. There are now two adopted i ii,. . im in the Senate and six in Hie House of Hep resent ut i vs. There ate Ure in thc City Council of Charleston and two in the City Council of Cohuh Ilia,' eb .

Gen. W. concludes this pait of his subject b. ;u\ing : . The slanders awl vitup?rations propagated n?:iin3l the Southern States, .ac based upon nothing less than thc- vilest political rancour, aim thc most miserable eolnsh passions of Northern and Western agencies, that have grown fat upon the results of immigration. They nor, foci that it neceesarilv must oe diverted to the South, which is so much mote inviting, not onlv in natural re Bources and commercial facilities, bat even in that verv social superiority, law, order, and jost and liberal feeling for the incomim; itranger, which thev book to deny us in the face ot their own offi? ciai" records, ? think, however, that tl.? above facts will enable every reflecting maa to judge understandingly." u LABOR CONTRACTS. CHURCHES AND SCHOOL*. Under this heid; he says that by reference to the registries of the bureau itself, he observed that i:the people or" South Carolina generally prefer giving tho laborer an interest in the results of his employment instead of paying him a stated amount of wages, besides that, it is generally the practice of giving the laborer a piece of land tor his garden, and the keeping of fowls, pigs, etc., thereby enabling him to Uve economically, and oven to earn manv a dollar, which he could not do where other habits obtain." ;Thoro aro 1267 churches in South Carolina, of which 4.J1 aro Baptist, 82 Protestant EDiscopal, 3 Israelitish .Synagogues, 48 Lutheran, 606 Metho? dists, 149 Presbyterian, ll Roman Catholic, ll Union, and 3 Universalist. Of Schools this State has 757, with 811 teachers, and of academics and seminaries 22C, with 367 learners. There arc, be? sides, a number of colleges and one uuivcrsity." Tn the appendix there aro 06 extracts from the ''Registries," stating the offers of land for sale or rent in different parts of the State, in large and small quantities, on reasonable termB; also the wants of citizens of South Carolina for laborers, house servants, artisans, mechanics, etc. LETTER. FROM NEW YORK. [FKOX orrt SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] NEW YORK, September 20. Dishonor is the Bubject of my story. I cannot tell what you and other men think of this life; but for my single self T had a great deal rather not be at all than Uve to be in awe of such a thing as poverty-nevertheless, it is better to be poor and honest than well to do in worldly circumst atices, and bad to do in point of honest (or dishonest) dealings. But thoro are mon who think otherwise arid act accordingly. Thus it is with the parties who have just been detected in the act of attempt? ing to get ahead of Uncle Samuel to thu tune of the amount due for internal revenue tax ou two hundred and eleven barrels of whiskoy. This affair, known as the "CALLXOOTT case," has created quite an excitement, because there are hundreds, nay thousands of mon here and elsowhore within the dominions of tie defrauded old gentleman, who each make a handsome living out of such unhandsome speculations and peculations, aud each one of the handsomc-Uving makers foars that his turn may come next, and that Iiis occupa? tion will soon he gone. It may be called a species of pious fraud-though PALET gives us no exam? ples of the kind-or a kind of religious stealing, for there is no doubt but that the spirit was moved. The spirit (or spirits) was moved clandestinely from a bonded warehouse, in Flushing avenue, in the city of churches, by men who were not flush, and did not belong to any church at all; false pa? pers were drawn up and signed, when the spirit moved the mon, and then the men proceeded to move the spirits. One of the gentlemen who had a hand in the spiritual movement has gone to that bourne where revenue taxes are unknown, having performed a surgical operation on his own throat, which resulted as a great many surgical opera? tions do. The death of ALEXANDER T. STEWART, the great drv goods millionaire, was announced hero yester? day as having taken place in the French capital, wherefore there was some little excitement, and men had already begun to make hypothetical and imaginan' disposition of the dead juan's property aud effects, when a counter annoucetuent was made to tho effect that thp man supposed to bo in Paris and dead, waa and is now in London, in ex? ceedingly good health and quito alive, as he al? ways is to his own interests. STEWART in the role af a eoapee would bo (STEWART, not the corpse) in men's months for a day or two; but STEWART aUve ?nd in the flash is only a very wealthy merchant, and nothing moro, and so the excitement of the million i? dead because the man nf millions is iii ve. Thc annual commencement exercises of tho Now York Collego took place last night, at tho Academy of Music, and weie particnlarlv interesting. The able addresses delivered by the graduates evinced the highest order of educational culture, and proved, at least to my satisfaction, that oueoan re ceivo a first-class ?ducation on this side of the Atlantic. Speaking on this subject brings to mind ray school-boy days, when good old Dr. BRUNS en? deavored to teach mv young idea how to shoot, but when, alas, I too often preferred to shoot marbles. lam delighted to perceive, by a-notice in THE NEWS, that the good old veteran is again in har? ness. If ever there was a scholar who ie both the beal of men and tho best of teachers, said scholar stands confessed in Dr. BRUNS. I cannot hut call to mind one of tho many timen whon ? missed ray Greek. The word I missed was "pee*ton." Dr. BRUNS gave me -the word, and playfully remarked that ho felt assured I would forget it in time. Fifteen years have elapHod sine o then; yet, if I do not remember the word, I would not give a Og foi- latilinrt impressions made upon the mind of youth. By unirions coincidence-though bye the bye, coincidences are always eurious--in the uew edition of CHARLES DICKENS' woika now being pub? lished hero, Martin Chuzzlewit will appear al? most simultaneous with the visit of ita great au? thor, who, in this work, drew such a picture ot American ?ito and manners us was a poor return for the extraordinary hospitality, and in fact syco? phantic attention of which ho had been tho re? cipient during his last visit to this country. DICK? ENS' is a great writer-in my opinion tho greatest nf humorists, but tho American notes together (rit h certain portions of master Chuzzlewit were conceived in rather questionable taste. The RISTORI mania is by no means as strong as [t was last year, nevertheless, she still draws well anongh tb make another handsome pile of green? backs, both for herself and GRAU. She appears to ai?ht as Francesca Da JUinini, to-morrow as Mary Stuart, and on Tuesday in Brooklyn, as Elizabeth. Next week- on the RISTORI off nights-we are to be treated at the Theatre Fran?ais to select dishes nf French opera bouffe, to begin with "The Grand Duchess of Geralstein," ovor which our transatlan? tic neighbors have already gone into ecstacies. I am dohghtod to noto that so largo a number of Charlcstonians are here, for tho theatre? at pre? sent arc well worth attending. FORREST continues to draw crowded houses, composed of those who aro attracted by the once great tragedian's former reputation ; but if, when they see the FORREST of to-day, they find him at all like the FORREST of ten years ago, then, either they or I must have but little judgment of good or bad acting. JEFFERSON'S ''Rip-Van-Winkle" at the Olympic is v. ch H nrth nceing, and those who are fond of sensational pieces can have their tastes highly gratified by witnessing the representation of "Under the fias Light" at the New York, in which piny there is a thrilling (?) scene wherein the hero appears fast-bound upon the railroad track, and a real car uud a rail car) approaches, and is just about to rash over said hero and put an end to tiim and the play simultaneously, when in rushes bin tann? amie, just in time to cut the cruel cords and release him from his disagreeable and dangerous position. To those who delight in the study of the anat? omy of the female frame, and who prefer live and beautiful subjects to dead and ugly ones, the Black Crook, now in ita second year, is of course thc niv.it centre of attraction, while burlesque performances, and in fact dramatic entertainments of all kinds and qualities are given at scores of old and new minor theatres, located io every por? tion of tho city. There is one nogrominstrel band herc composed entirely and exclusively of Southern ex-plantation hands, the dark, musical geutloineii hailing for the mosfpart from Georgia. Tin- void market ia heavy, and the reason assigned i.-i that the floating supply of coin ia in excess of the demand. Moultiie, however, can? not beai personal testimony to the correctness of thia statement, us with him the demand by far ex? ceeds thc supply, and none of the floating capital hila com? to * welcome haibor in his pocket, -herc it would be uio?t hospitably and kindly greeted and received.
