The Committee of Ways and Means, in pushing through a repeal of the ?cotton tax in a shape which caa get no relief until next year, is regard? ed as absurd. The friends of tho South are in? tensely indignant at this perversion, zi they claim, of the generous views of the Northern people as expressed at the polls.

To-day a resolution was roferred to tho Commit too on tho draught of the Constitution, that no legislative body hereafter, in genoral assembly, shall havo power to annul any articles of this Con? stitution; nor shall they have the right to call another Convention in this State before a period of seventy yoars, datad from the day of adoption of tho said C Institution! Special Order No. 203, Section 2, says the free and proper uso of military power, besides defend? ing the national honor against foreign nations, is to uphold the laws and civil government, and to secure to every person residing among us the en? joyment of ??fe, liberty and property. It is accord? ingly made, by ac! of Congress, the duty of the commander of this Disrriot to protect all persons in these rijrhts ; to suppress disorder and violence, and to punish or cause to bc punished all disturb? ers of the public peace and criminals. The Com? manding General has been officially informed that the administration of justice, and especially of j criminal jtislico in its Courte, is clogged, if not en? tirely frusiratod by the enforcement of Paragraph No. 2 of the Military Order numbered Special Order No. 125, current senes, from these headquar? ters, issued on the 24th of August, 1867, relative to qualification to? be placed on tho jury lists of this State to determine who E ii ll and who shall not bo jurors, and until the laws in etristenco, regulating this subject, shall be amended or chanced by thit department of tho civil government which tho constitution of all the Slates under our Republican system, vested with that power, it is deomod best to carry out the will of thc people us expressed in tho last legislativo act upon this subject.

Une Way ta Induce Uk? Investment o? Northern Capital in thc South. To thc Editors of the Charleston Dai y News : In thc Charleston Mercury of thc 3d inst., I find tho following : "SELLING A FADS BY SAMPLE_One of our ear? liest recollections ci' Greek is a story of a schoias likos who ca'ric J a brick ??bout with him a9 a spe? cimen of a houso which ho had for salo.

South Carolina, recently pur? chased by J. C. Derby, ol this citv, can be aeon at ;he seed atoro of Messrs. Bliss & Co., No. 41 Park Row." That the Mercury should have boon guilty of .raducing a well known and estimable gentleman, te it has done in tho abovo paragraph, is as aston shing as that it should have inferred from tho ex Tact ol' tho Tribune, that there waa a aale ef? fected, and consequently two fools-one a seller ind tho other a purchaser. Viewing it either as ixhibiting malico ar.d ill-feeling to the New York Tribuno, or a poor attempt to display wit and icholarship, or as a gross inadvertence, it waa un? tiled for and discourteous. Apart from tho personality of the article it is ;alculated to injure an carnost attempt to bring Northern capital to assist in the dovclopmont of ho natural rcaourcos of this vicinity, or similar 'fforts in other sections. It appears to us that a nomont'a reflection should have elicited com nend?.tion instead of ridicule. The exhibition of he products of this neighborhood, and bringin g o tho notice of Northerners tho capabilities and idvantages offered here-the striking contrast of lisplaying strawberries ripening and in blossom without forcing), when in the North they aro eaflcss and witherei, thus e'emonstrating the iomparative mildness of tho climate, is'a practical node of aiding in reconstruction and furthering he prosperity of our- poople. Mr. Jas. C. Derby, a well known book publisher, if New York, visiting Aiken last spring, and appre ?iating tte advantages of this vicinity, was induoed o purchase an extensive orchard, vineyard and 'arm, not on speculation but as a home for hie amily. His investment includes not only the imount paid for the lands, but also for the em )loyment of laborers and mechanics, in various mprovement8, and the introduction of imported :attle and improved implements. Returning to Kew York a few weeks since, he carried with him ipecimens of the products of his and the adjoining arms, and called the att:ntion of a number of odi ors and other prominent gentlemen, as indicating ho capacity and resources o? bia new home, and ia tow doing all ho can to induce others to locate 1?re also. Deeming that a refutation of such a charge aa hat so pointedly and publicly made by the Mer ury is duo to Mr. D., I would respectfully request t place in your columns for thii communication. AM?C?S.

Tho Now Orleans Picayune publishes tho follow ng letter from an English cotton spinner of re peetability, which gives timely hint to our cotton rrowers. It is moat depierablo that tho rcputtv ion of Southern pooplo should thus suffer, even a compariaon with that ol tho Hindoo, from the rauds of somo bad mon among our goncrally cou cientious and honorable planters. But it is not inly thc fraudulently admixed and packed cotton finch is found les3 merchantable than that from ither countries. Neglect, carelessness and hurry, o which wc may add tho iiiui?"?rjiit and even hos ilo labor of the no^ro, causes the bulk of our col? on to bo so poorly haudlod, packe J and forward id, that there ia from dampness and fine dust a 083 of weight to tho buyer of it. There ia a eme?y tor this. Let no moro cotton bo raised han can be carefully pickod and ginned; no more han can be well coverod and fastened; no more han the planter can attend to himself, and with ?hoice, willing and intelligent labor, if ho be so brtunato as to get euch assistance, and let him iccept no other: MILLS PBESTON, November 4, 180?. Dear ?-tr : Perhaps the following remarkB on cotton may not be uninteresting io yow American xiends at the pro Bent juncture : It waa well known bc-.'uro tho Jato American war ihat cotcon grown in thu couutry contained a !ur;o amount of sand and moisture, sometimes even fraudulently put into the balo to increase its weight. Thia waa endured by our spiunera with eccaaionr.1 grumbling, bocauj-i thoy did not know now toute other callous aa substitute for ?raori :an, nor did they know that other coitoi s aero much better in thia respect. Du iug the wer. however, nnd especially tura last year, it has beca discovered that no description of cotton is subject tc so much "insensible''toss as Amcncau, and the result ia that other cottons, ospocially tho batter cusses of Surats, approach m value moro nearly to American than was ever known before. We have oureolve*; used o very description of cot? ton quoted in the Liverpool circular, and our ex? perience is, that whoa wo use American colton there is about 2J per cent, in weigtit lor whioh we have nothing to show in either yarn cr waste, tho fact being that this ver < entage is dissolved into thc atmosphere in ino formol' moisture or flue sand, ano thia, in addition to the loss in weight borne by tho importer, and which varies from 4 to 7 per cent. Wheo we use any other kind of cotton, and especially Surat, wo And that owing to tho ex? tremely dry condition of tho cotton and freedom from uUBt, there results a blight excess of yaru and wasto over and above tho weight of cotton bought, amounting gcnorally to about three-foiutlm per cent. Tins has been our experience of the past twelve half-yearly stock-takings, and the conse? quence is that we never buy American except when it is comparatively vacy cheap, because we can de? pend more fully upon ino honesty of any other de? scription of cotton. As regarda regularity of sta? ple, however, and pleasautuoas in working, no cot? ton is 0'iual to A'nerioan ; but what dees this avail when you cannot depend upon your calculations, and find that when yon thought you were working to profit you have beet; d--coi ved, ewing to this in? visible loss in weight. We would urges upon all these who ?esiro to see American cotton restored to ita cid place in tho re? gard ol English a >inners, the necessity of baling it perfectly dry, free from rand and dust, aud of reg dir quality.

All we ian say is, to thoso who wish to know before? hand how so famous a man will look whe:i they seo him, that this portrait prepares the ra nd to recog? nize him, but that is a lits office. lt shows us all that time, and labor, and care, have done, to bat? ter down tho beautiful houso of youth and haunt? ing fancy, but it gives no gleam of tho radiant spirit that still lights up the enchanter's face. Meanwhile, until to-night, Mr. Dickens bas kept himself strictly secluded from all but ono or two old and intimate friends. His rooms are at tho Parker House, and there ha has remained, busily engaged all day, in writing and study, ex? cept when no is taking his daily eight milo "con? stitutional" walk with his publisher, Fields, and steadily declining all the invitatio.!., to breakfast, dinner, tea,,supper, parlies, balls, and drives, that hospitable Boston pours in upon hi'-.i ia an u.-.laii ing stream. Much of his timo is 3pent in the mo t laborious, pains-taking study of tho parts he is to read. IndeoJ, the public has but little idea of thc cost-in downright hard work of mind, an J body, and voice-at wuich those readings uro pioduccd. Although Mr. Dickons has read, now, uoariv five hundred times, I am assured on tho best authority that ho never attempts a new p .rt in pu ? lie until ho has spent at least two months over it in study as faithful and S3arching as Rachel or Cushman w?u'd give to a new character. This study extend not merely to the analysis of the text, to the d scrimi nation ol character, to tho minutest points of elocu? tion, but decides upon the facial expression, the tone of the voico, tho gesture, thc attitudo, and even the material surroundings of tho actor, for, Acting il t?, not Reading, in tuc ordinary sense, ct all. Mr. D.ckeus is so essentially an artist that, he cannot neglect the s?ghlost thing that may serve to heighten the effect of what he has under? taken to do. And ho is as conscientious, so strict in all his dealinge-a very martinet in business and thorough man of affairs-that ho will leavo nothing uudone, that time and labor c ni do, to give to the public that pava so much for tho pleas? ure of hearing him, the full worth of its money. This is the reason why he, a man cf the world, greatly delighting in Eociety. thoroughly fitted to onjoy it himself, and to' make others enjoy it-deliberately cuts himself oft' from it, until his task shall be done. ' I am como here," ho says, "to road. The peoplo expect me to do my best, and how eau 1 do it .f I am ail thc time on tue go ? My time is cot my ova, when I am preoar.ng to read, any mere than it is when I am writing a novel, and I can as well do ono as tho other without concentrating all my powers on it until it is done.'' Whoever, then, fancies that the crowd that p eked the Tremont lemplo to-night, that the crowd which, after the splendid success of this drat R jadmr, wiil cor.tlnuc to pack it till tho Beadings are all bvur-have given tneir money for a bagatelle, an hour's careless play 01 goniua whoever thinks this, is quite mistaken, luis won? derful two hours'performance-so lull of vane.1 power; onm full, fr^m end lo end, of feeling, pa? thos, mirth and lui:, a sunlit shower o? Bm?e . and teara, not co be described in words, lrr Uv I a bs I comprehended by tho mind; all thia-*lt '?> hot the pure result ol unremitting study, t tought I and phycical labor, would, at least, not have boen the port'oct thing it is. without theso he" os. Although tho tickets ot the readiu erny twice repeated on their face the request that ".bo audiouco would all ba seated puuci.;.-.i:y a; 8 o'clock," it was nearly 8:15 before the vast crowd badsimmeied down to a stato01 cornpaialive quieseuce. And it was iudood a vast audience such a crowd as ls f.el4om gathered ina singla h?lito meet any single man, i ho lino of carriages ian down all mai ner of streets and lat itself in tho suburbs. AU the cars hading from ino outlying towns broucht in fresh recruits te tho ?rival army, aud the snow that had been falltnt; ali the after? noon at last gave up trying to ^et to thc pavement, and went to some other place, while the moon thono out and helled the eas lamps light the Kay, strug? gling, swain.mg multitude that was trying tc get inside the doo'8-watched by along Eacud silent multitudo that crowded round the doorways wivi? out tickets and no hope oi'gottmg install, m-i?i the houso tho scene was s: rUing enough, i cw c.fics, anywhere, could show an auclionco of such char? acter. Hardly a nou.uio man in Beaton, or fifty miles about, but was there, and we doubt if ;a Loudon itsolf Mr. Dickons ever recd Leforo such an assemblage There sat Lona.fe.low? look.n,,' liko tho very spirit of Chris.mas. with als ruddy cheeks and bright soft eyes looking oat from the veBt of snow white hair and euo.v wliito beard. There was Holmes, looking en-.p aaa fine into a tight littlo grapo-skin lull of wit instead of wine. There was Lowell, as if Sidney himself had o-mo back with his pool's hoart smiling Badly through his poet's eyes. If ero, too, was the older Dona, now an old man of eighty, with lonv gray hair falling round a face bright with shrewd intel? ligence, as able now us thirty years ago to write "Paul Felton or Tho Buccaneer." Bun? ning the eye over tho hall one saw other mon widelv known. CharLc Eliiet Norton, who3e translation of Dante.' Ft.'a aVtioc:t may cell stand side by sido with his master Longfellow, of tho grander "song. Thero in tho gallery is Edwin Whipple. Yonder is Fields, to whom all ovvo this ?<reat pleasure for ho suggested, urgod, and mado this visit of Dickens etsy to him. Bishop Last bum, over on tho other sitio, sooms thanktul that clergymen havo yet some pleasures lott. Tiicro is Poole, tho librarian of the Atheneum, o::c of our men who knows most about books, and Sauiuoi Eliot, tho President of tho Social Science, and George Grcon, who recently crossed blades with Bancroft. Emerson's face 1 couiu not catch. Con? cord is far away, ?ind snow storms no joko to tra? vel in. Nor did V. bittier como, as was promised, Whittier, who has never 111 Ins lifo boon present at an oveuiug entertainment ut any description, oon cert or opera, or even, ?trango to say, a lcoture. He promised, but at tue la=t his heart failed him. and tho "good gray head that all men know" did not b'ees our cy-.-j 10-night. I have said that Dickens io an artist in all ho does, and sci lom have I seen a more fin, .ned oioce of work than this whee reading. So caicfu! Is he cf every point, that nothing shall -0 ami^s, that ho has brought ~iti>. him irom England all the appointments by which ne is anirouricd, whon no reads at home.

There ii no straining for slap;o effect, no attitudiz ?ng. no affectation. Thc most effective reading: wc ever listened ti-it waa thc moat beautiiully simple, atraigl tforward. hearty piece of painting i from lifo. Donr Bob Cratehito made twenty-five j hundred friends beioro ho had spoken two words, and if everybody had obeyed tho impulse ol' his I heart, nud sont him a Christmas goose, ho would I have been suffocated in a twinkling, under I a mountain of poultry. As for tho do ; lightful Fizziwigs, not tho coldost heart in tho audionce, but warmed to them at once. Probably never was a ball so thoroughly onjoyod as tho ono givon by theso worthy people to their aoprenticcs. Tho greatest hit o? the <; vening was the point where tho danco executed by Dlr. and Mrs. Fizz.wigs to MiEaFizziwig was de? scribid. Tho contagion of tho audiences laughter roached Mr. Dickens himself, who with difficulty brought out tho inimitable drollery: "siter which Mr. Fizziwig cut positively-cut so that a light seemed to 'shine from hi? very c ilvea, and he ac? tually winked with his legs." Tais was too much for Boston, and I thought tho roof would go off. Nexi to this, the moat effective point, was Tiny Tim, who o plaintive troblo. with Bob Cracchitos way of 3p?aLinK of him, brought out BO many pocket handkerchiefs that it lookod as it' a saow* storm had somehow g)t into the hall without tick? ets. Seldom do wo near such genuino pathos as that with which Mr. Dickens read tho poor fithor'a lament over his little laino child, and great was the geniua which enabled him to walk so satoly on tho dangerous edge that separates nature, pure and simple, from moro travestie. The Christmas party at tho house of Scrod's nephew, where Tuppins plays blind man's buff with tho plump sister in thc lace tuckor, was a thing i.ovf.r to be forgotten. When Dickens said, "X no moro behove tb.t that man was blindfolded than I behove that ho had Gros in his boots," his facial expression-indignant as of a man who is boing put upon, and yet with a consciounness of tho absurdity of tho statement that makes him laug'a in spito of his anger-was inimitablo, and it was long Dofoio the audience would let him get on. At last we had il, and tho plump sister with the lace tucker to bscomo imrrrorUl. There was au i?termission of ab .ut ten minutes between the reading of "The Christmas Carol" and "Tho Trial Scene trom P.ckwick," and as he closed tho book with Tiny Tim's "God bless us overy one," the en? thusiasm of the vast assembly broke forth in such expressions, as to those who know tho impassive nature of Boston audiences showed plainly enough that tho heart under all their silk and broadcloth was fairly stirred and beating with wann good will. But Dickcuswas plainly not to bo persuaded into a tpeech. For ail tho uproar, he did not appear Lgain, until tho court called up tho caso ol' Bardell versus L'ic'.:wick. It wa:} easy to eeo that tho rea? der himself had a peculiar affection for this part & leaf torn from a book that is aaao-iated with the beginning ot'his fame, the end out of whioh this splendid trco-stock sot with flowers and fruit, has grown. He read it with full loroo, throwing himself into it with ail his heart, and, I may ada, with all his body, for ho put, much more acting into this part ot bia reading than into tho first par., y.igcant B.uiuz's speech to thc jury was w.tbout a Haw, a perl of tho art of acting, and no words of mine oe anvoody could express the way in which Nathaniel "Vv'inklo ms bclbroua. Not less excellent was the Judge-thu sourest, dryeat, most c:033-gra:ncd pioco of. legal stupidity that cvor waa seen or Uoaid of. Taue about facial ex? pression, iiatb.ng moro wonderful was over soon than the chango from tho Judge, who seemed to always bo bmo?ing something disagreeable, to tho frauk, cheny faco of Samuel Wolter, aa lrcah as a rose, and aa good to look at. Boro was a .cone : Tuo mi..uto the Court said, "Call up Samuel Weiler." that friend of noar thirty years standing was rocognizoJ by all Boston at a glance, and h;a mountiug tho stand waa signal for such a hand? shaking (speaking io a figure) that ho will nover forgo:. And wasn't it jolly to seo him, jolly to heaxh'.m, and jolliest or ali to hear that deep, rich voice 01 his old ta! ncr, tleep and r.ch a3 the foam cn his quart pot of a.e, calling out from tho gal? lery, "Vat it down willi a wc, my lord, put i. down with a wo." Io reading theso works of his, Mr. Dickons noithcr follows the original text, nor auheres closely hy any meana to the teit of thc pretty and eonveiiieitt haad-books waicu ho has himself cou?:naod and prepared, lie loaves out a good deal, changes woids. niiatukca words sometimes, and roany much of it seems impromptu.
