PRESCOTT, Tyler. THE WANDO FKBTEBLIZER.-The ferterlizing works of Messrs. W. C. Dukes & Co., o:i Marsh's wharf, have been in operation for some days, and sales ol tho Wando Ferterlizer have already taken place. These works have been described in the NEWS at some length, and no changes have been made in the disposition of the machinery worthy of any note. The heavy uon crusher has been found inadequate for tho demand, and one of a superior size and power ia now being constructed at Messrs. J. F. Taylor & Co.'s foundry. Mtssrs. W. C. Dukes & Co. have in their warehouses a large sup? ply of the Nevarsa Guano, which is considered to be the best basis for ferterlizers ; thin is ground np with boues, Luxe, Sx., and the compound well mixed togother forms the Wando Ferterlizer. The marl discoveri?s cn the Ashley river have not been confiued to any ono section, but the deposit is found stretching over a large extent of country, and Messrs. W. C. D. & Co. have made arrange? ments to procure a large supply of this deposit, and will make their Ferterlizer equal to any offered for salo in this city. Dr. Ravenel, an experienced chemist, has charge of the chemical analysis, and Mr. Ebaugh, practical machinist, of the mechani? cal portion of the works. THE EAOLE OUTDONE.- The great Ameri-an eagle may be a surprisingly developed bird, that can cool its bill at the North Pole, while it plays in the waters of thc Gulf of Mexico. It can shriek freedom uutil the sound is heard from the Atlantic to tho Pacific. It eau cover a continent with its wings, and be the emblem of "the land ot he free and the home of tho bnwe;" but its glories fade into insignificance when contrasted with i.he home virtues of tho turkey, particularly at the time when Christmas dinners are the vogue. The eagle is, at this season, compelled to retire to its native haun:s, where it lays like a warrior takiuj its rest with the United States flag around it, until the Fourth of July or some other patriotic occa? sion causes it to be brought into public notice. The turkey is now the honored bird, and is made the subject of the epicure's praises and the poet's lays. One of tho latter, who had a good dinner and a piece of the breast in prospect, vented his surcharged feelings in the following triumph int strain : "The eagle he is a very nice bird For the battle time of the free ; But when the sweet notes of peace are heard, Ob the turkey's the bird for me, my boys 'the turkey's the bi: J for me." TH? JAPANESE JCGULEBS.-On Monday the Ja? panese troupe will appear in this oily, and will exhibit the wonders of their skill in jugglery and acrobatics. Their entire exhibitions are conduct? ed in Japanese style, language and music, and they enable a person to get a better "lea of real life in Japan than could be gotten from a mast; of dry reading. In visiting these moon-eyed Celes? tials, the public can see the originals of the pretty Min-ne, who is thus described by the poet Saxe : "Her skin had tho color of saffron tea, And her nose was flat as flat could be; And never were b-_en such beautiful eyes, Two almond _crnals in shape and size Set in a couple of startling trashes, And not in the least disfigured by lashes." Their style of hair-dressing ''i something of a crosa between that of a New York belle and a Semi? nole Indian. Tuey are bright, intelligent fellows however, and evidently know a city bill from a greenback. The actors in this troupe are of both sexes-fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. Thc children are educated in the business of their pa? rents, thus acquiring a remarkable subtlety of action, and an extraordinary strength of nerve. "One is almost cheated," says the Nashville Ban? ner, "into the belief that the children have no bones-are merely bundles of cartilagcnous sub? stance. Their balancing feats aro nothing less than astonishing. With them thc spinning of tops is reduced to a fine art." They are certain to draw full houses every night during their stay, and every one should go to see what curious things can be done in the way of pos? turing, balancing, contortions, and other feats of dexterity. WHITE LABOR WANTED.-A Saetee planter writes to General J. A. Wagoner, the Commissioner of Immigration, as follows (.we translate the letter from the Zeitung): "I take the liberty of address? ing you, with a view of doing something to induce the introduction of white labor in this vicinity. I have two valuable cotton and provision plantations, land and improvements in the best order. The neighborhood is healthy, and the land fertile, adapted for any crop without the use of any kind of manure. I have from 800 to 900 acres of such land ready to be cultivated. Oue of the planta? tions is now in profitable cultivation with black labor. For the other I wish to get white labor. My plan is somewhat as follows : At first I should like to settle on the place three or four families with about tm or twelvo laboring persons, and give the superintendence to some intelligent Ger? man who speaks English, and I would tl.eu give him all necessary adrice and directiou. I am will? ing to enter upon any agreement, provided that I shall not render myself liable to any losses. There is plenty of wood, good water, aud tho buildings are convenient and in good repair. I could furnish stock, aa well as seed, the necessary implements and provisions. With twelve good workers, it would be easy to plant fifty acres iu rice, ten in long cotton, and ten in corn, peas, turnips, cab? bage, Sic. The proceeds would be about as fol? lows : Twelve hundred and fifty bushels, at $1.50. .11,875 Cotton, fifteen hundred pounds, at 75 cts. ... 1,125 Corn, peas, potatoes, Ac. 500 Total.W.500 "This, however, is a very moderate calculation. If thiBplan should be practicable in your opinion, I shall be ready to give the most liberal terms in order to make tho experiment. The climate, perhaps, offers a difficulty, which, in former timcB, waa considered sickly ; in thc last few years, how? ever, white people have lived here the whole year, and enjoyed good health."

Offico of publica? tion, No. 307 King-street. >?? ? THE STREET MOVEMENT.-Thc activity displayed by the Committee on Streets has not been confin? ed to East Bay, but is apparently general through? out thc city. Tho asplin kum sidewalk on East Bay has boon completed to a short distance of the customhouse, and the laborers are now employed in filling this pavement to a level with the street. At preseut a lamp-post stands in thc centro of thit; sidewalk, and as it is neither useful nor ornamen? tal in that position, it should bc removed before tho new pavement is laid. In King-street, near me corner of Calhoun, the macadamizing plan has been adopted, and a deposit of broken stones has boen made. This style of paving streets was onc? quite popular, and as the workhouse furnished the material, it coul l bo laid at a small expense. At present the stone-breaking establishment of thc city is closed, and thc inmates of the jail are too delicate fer such hard labor. Tho stones plated on King-street will bc .quite serviceable, as the ruts are quite deep, and in many places tho pa^e mont ia verv uneven. Corp.T of EEBOBB.--Upon thc reasseuiblbg of | the Court, on Thursday, (ho cases of the First Na? tional and the People's Banks cs. Lannoau, Tax Collector, wore resumed and concluded by the At toruey-?encral; Mr. Simonton followed on behalf | the batiks; Mr. Ilayne closed in reply. The Granitcvillo Manufacturing Company rs. Benjamin Roper, Tax Collector.-Appeal from or? der of Judge at Chambers, discharging rule against tax collector requiring him to show cause why he shou'd not bo compelled ,lto receive the bills of thc President and Directors ol tho Bank of tho State of South Carolina in payment of taxes due tho State by the said Mamifacturing Company.'' Mr. James Conner opened argument for appellant, con tenctng that, underthe act incorporating the bank, the bills of said bank were receivablo in payment of taxes duo the State, and that the act of 186?, for? bidding the said bills to be received by tax collec? tors, is unconstitutional; Attornev-General Hayne followed in behalf of the State; Hon. W. D. Porter closed in reply. This case being the last open for argument on the docket, the Court, at its conclusion, adjourned until 12 M. to-day, when opinions will bo an? nounced. THE CHRISTMAS TBEE.-Commins' Hall was crowded again yesterday evening with tho grave, the gay and tho fair-all anxious to behold the wonders of tho tree, and to find what gifts Christkindel had in store for them. The night was clear and beautitul, and thc bright moonlight tempted many abroad who were irresistibly drawn to the hall. Inside the arrangement was tho same as on the previous night, the tree and its surround? ings were unchanged, and tho supply of gifts -seemed as inexhaustible as ever. Tne spectators wore determined to test their luck, and, indeed, it would have been impossible io rc fuse the charming fairies who presonted their bags for just ono grab. Other opportunities for making fortunes wero pre? sented at every step, and tho several attractions were only resisted when tho bottom of tho pocket was reached. The tree and the goneral arrange? ment of the internal decorations reflect great oredit upon tho ladies ol St. Paul s, as they havo made thc hall a place ol resort where it is a pleas? ure io spend a quarter, as, like bread thr->vn u?.on tho waters, it is returned in tenfold thc amount of | enjoyment.

Since that period, discoveries have been made that will tend to bring both capital and labor to tho old Palmetto State ; but the most cheering sign i3 the care that is being taken to improve and develope tho agricultural and mechanical re? sources of the State. Articles that wero once of I no value are now exported largoly, and a trade is being formed that will be of great advantage to the State. Georgetown and Horry Districts have always been celebrated for their cypress swamps, and Con way boro' shingles were renowned for their durability. Messrs. Tucker & Jackson, merchants of this city, have a largo number of bauds employed at Tucker's mill, about twenty miles from George? town, in the manufacture of cypress shingles, which are shipped from the mills to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and other Northern cities. This branch of business is rapidly increasing, as the fact is now well known that cypress shingles, pro? perly prepared, will last for nearly fifty years, and a shingled roof is almost as durable as slate or tin. Vessels carrying these freights have a capacity of 300.000 to 400,000 shingles, and a number of vessels are now waiting the announcement of tho lumber merchants that cargoes are ready and thoy will sail for Charleston or Georgetown with dispatch. Messrs. T. & J. have at present about one hundred hands cutting and preparing the lumber in tho woods, but they design increasing their number, and will accept all able-bodied workmen who csu wield au sxo or handle a drawing knife. -.-.-> HOME ion THE DESTITUTE.- Tho Home for the destitute mothers, widows and dainhtcrs of de? ceased Confederate soldiers, recently established in this city, presents strong claims to the public for their charitable donations. Tho enterprise has been received with general favor, and those who could spare from their worldly storo have gladly contributed their mite to tho relics of thc lost canse. Lisls have been placed in THE NEWS office, and an} sums deposited will bo gladly re? ceived for the association. In this connection it is pleasing to note that some of thc charitable associa? tions in thc city have heard tho appeal, and have responded to the extent of their means. We ap? pend a lotter from the Washington Light Infantry Association and its reply, and urge upon associa? tions of a similar character to be also np and doing. CHARLESTON, S.e., November 29, 1837.
