"VOLUME V.NO. 727 CHARLESTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY MORNING-, DECEMBER 18, 1867. PRICE FIVE CENTS Thc Cnarlcitton Daily New? for 1868-Int portant Announcement. Encouraged by the recent large increase in he circulation of THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS, the proprietors are happy 'o 0JlaOun.ce that, with the opening ot' the new year, the price of subscription will be reduced to a figure which will at once place the paper within the reach of every family in the eily anti throughout tho State. Ou an?! a?er the firs: of .January, 1868, THE DAILV Ns ?rs will be pub lished nt Six DOLLARS A YEAL payable, in all cases, in advance, lt will then be, without exception, the cheapest first cia?? journal in thc Southern States. There s no good reason why our community should tot be furnished with a live daily newspaper at a rate approxi? mating that of the sprightly penny press of the Northern cities ; and the very generous s.ipport which has been accorded to us on all sides has hastened a step, long contemplated on ear part, towards meeting the popular want, lt is hard ly ucccssary to say l?al there will bc no .littii nution in the amount or interest rf the reading matter invany department of the pt. per ; "on thi contrary, it will be our constant effort And otu pride to make it, day by day, more full, reliable and entertaining-the spirited compend of thc world's news, the mirror of local life, and thc mouthpiece of an enlightened and liberal pub? lic opinion. At the solicitation of many of our friends in the country, we shall also, during the first week it; January, commence the issue of Tnt: CHARLES* TON TRI-WEEKLY NEWS. The subscription price will be THREE DOLLARS A Y BAR, or Two DOLLARS FOR SIX MONTHS, payable always iii advance. This reduction in our rates will, we know, be all tho mor? welcome to the public, inas? much as it comes a' a time of unprecedented financial distress, when there are few, indeed, aiuong our people who do not sorely n wi every dollar that can bc saved. We do not permit ourselves to doubt, that our enterprise will bc rewarded with a steady increase of that popu? lar appreciation and support of which we have hitherto received ;o liberal tr share. THK DAILY NEWS already enjoys a circulation largely exceeding that of any other journal now published in this or thc adjoining States : and its readers ma}' rest assured that, in the future, no effort will bo spared to increase the attractiveness of its columns, and to extend still further the field of its intluence and use? fulness.

NAH REPUBLICAN.-Thc .Savannah Advertiser gives ;he following particulars of tho as- tull committed m Saturday evening upon Mr. Joba F. Hayes, edi or of tho Savannah Republican, by C. H. Hopkins, Tr., and W. B. Hopkins. The facts, as we have learned them, are aa fol - ows : Eve ry one hi tho front on ce happened at the jme lo be '.nt, with the exception of a negro boy, t?t! Mr. Hayes, having had business upstairs, was nst coming down and about < ntering tho counting .oo:n when wa . mel hy < '. H. Hopkins, who < x .ended his hand, saving. "How do you do, Mr. Hayes." Hayes responded, when Hopkins, still Kliding his right band, slapped his face with his eft, and continued holding him while his brother mocked him down with a loaded ?hip. Mr. noyes iaril>' recovered and made for thc oui cr door, when te was struck again and beaten after ho n is '.own. Somo negroes pick d up the stiffen r iud ertin ii t him into Mr. Hone's store aud laid lim on some birre!-. While thu? lying, ono of lis assailants stood in front of thc door and mrsed tho helpless Victim. Assistance soon ar ived, and Mr. H. was roused from lin temporarj insensibility and convoyed linnie, when Dr. King ??as called to attend bim. Tho most severe wound was one on the side ul thc head aboul two inches !oug und quite deep. The assailants were almost immediately arrested upon a charge of assault with intent' to murder and brought before Justice Isaac M. .Marsh, who admitted them to bail iu tho sam ol $3000 each, ?estorday morn? ing Mr, Hayes was moro comfortable, bul to? wards oreniug took such .*n unfavorable turn that bi-, n-icuds requested the rearrest o? tho asailants which was accordingly dom-, and they were lecked up in thc Unite.! States bar? racks, at their own request, to await thc result .1 Mr. Hayes'injuries. Tho alleged provocation for thia assault was an editorial in Saturday" morn? ings Republican, reflecting severely upon some patties who had taken test oaths lei-the purpose cf obtaining ofilce, which w:>s generally under? stood as referrins ?. Col. C. H. Hopkins, tho lather ol tho young ie. n. Whatever may have been the provocation, when it is considered that Mr. Haye -, is a slight, nhnosl effeminate mau, and a well-known non-combatant, there can bc but one opinion af tho courage or manliness of his attatrk by two young, strong nun, armed with a murder OILS weapon, eiilu-r fue of whom could have han? dled ti?isa easily with one hand. At a late hour last nicht we learned that his physician considered thc life ol' .Mr. Hayes in much 'd inger from com? pression of the brain. SOI TU ( .VU()LI.\.\ t 0\1 \KltI?.\< K.

Thc Fenian Demonstration in London. GUNPOWDER EXPLOSION-FOUR PERSONS KTT.T.F.n AND PORTY WOUNDED. The cable reports that a daring attempt to re? lease tho Fenian leader Burke was made by the Fenians ir. Loudon last week. At about" four P. M. three men, accompanied by a woman, wcro observed by persons passing at the mo? ment to roll a barrel against tho wail of the Clerkc-nwt ll Oreen prison, where Burke who was arrested a short time since-charged with an activo complicity in tho Fenian riots in Manchester-and other Ferian prisoners, were con?ned; some under remand from a magisterial examination in the police court, and others await? ing transmission to different towns for trial. Thc barrel was placed at tho wall bounding tho side of the prison yard in which persons confined in Clcrkenwoll ure permitted to take exorcise nt thc Lour ?if fi ur P. M. Soon after it was fixed in its position an awful explosion, followed by most disastrous consequences, took place. Thc prison wnll va? blown down to a great extent, a gap al? most one hundred feet wid;; Laving been made. The dwelling houses. situated on the line of street opposite to tho prison were shattered, many of | them being almost completely levelled to thc earth. Two mon, with a woman, who, it ia supposed, are tuc persons who fixed the barrel, were immediate? ly arrested, bi't the third maa, who was seen to light the fuso which was applied to it, made his escape. None ff tho prisoners confined in thc jail got out, as tho terni of their lime of outdoor cxercue hud terminated, and they had been marched irorn the yard and lock d up in then: cells just before tho ex? plosion took place. I bo street opposite, which runs paral lol lo tho prison, at the spot is narrow and built with Loasen three stories high. Twenty houses wcro almost utterly demolished by thc explosion. Thc city firemen wore immediately summoned to the spot, and employed in digging in and under the ruins for dead bodies. Forty persons, men, women and children, have been found to bo wounded. Four of them have already died. The Herald dispatch, which gives the foregoing particulars; adds: The wholo citv of London is terribly excited by tho fact of this sudden and daring attempt. Everybody feels alarmed, for thc Borton s reason that no one can forotoll where tho next blow ol'this description may fall. Tho gov? ernment is becoming exceedingly active. All tho Fenian funeral processions projected in Ireland in memory of tho Manchester convicts have boon strictly prohibited, and measuros of a still moro stringent character aro looked for on the part of the executive. lt is feared, or at least deemed very probable, that some trouble will ensue from the Fenian movement in Liverpool. Inefficiency of Negro Labor tn Texan. The Galveston Nows of December 5, says : Dur accounts from all parts of cur great State are remarkably uniform, giving the same discour? aging condition of fri edmon labor-the samo gen? eral failure of agricultural pursuits-tho samo spirit of despondency among tho people-and nearly the sumo great falling off in the great sta? ple of cotton. In some low -nstances pretty fair crops have boen made, with the ox:eption of cot ton, which varies, as a general rule, from a total failure to about the half ot an average crop, which is reported xs tho beat that has been done any? where, and invariably the best crops bavo been niiide at thoso poiuts whore tho Freodmon's Ba roan ls least known. But where this bureau has had most to do in its capacity of protecting tho negroes, controlling contracts and listening to their complaints, there their labor has become almo, totally worthless, aud there xgriculture is gene? rally abandoned except BO fur as tho labor can bo performed by white mon. In all ouch places, with but rare exceptions, where the bureau agents havo been Southern men and understand the character of the negro, the people havo lost their crops and have determined never to depend any more upon tree negro labor. We have just been conversing with another of onr citizens who has been travelling extensively over tue State Ihe past four or fivo months, and ho ??oi:e:;ites the same statement m substance mado by Bo many others. In Fort Bond county, where aiioui. 12,000 bales of cotton were mado oc-forc tho war, the planters scarce make enough for seed this year, and Brazoria, Wharton, Matagord l. and several other largo coi ton-growing counties do no bettor. Indeed, this gentleman, wno is himself a planier, says many plumers are already sending lo distant counties to got aood cotton to plant an? other year. Our friend informs us that he has been in many counties that heretoforo made G000 to 10,000 balts nf cotton, that only make from 20 to 50 bales this year. These counties aro generally below tho county of Freestone, on both sides oi tho Trinity, Li Freestone and the counties above, tho crops aro aguaHj about half the average. Though corn, ?is a general rulo, has 1 urned out abundantly, yet from tho impossibility to get tho (recamen to gather iL, and from their extravagance and wastefulness in tho use of lt, our informant lound it already scarce and doar. Matrimonial ventures in tho wholesalo way may yet become n legitimate department cf com mcrco. Not withstanding thc signal failure of thc dtempt to export Eastorn women to our Pacific territories, the fact still remains that such an en? terprise succeeds in Australia, aud thc field is still open. Tho San Francisco Market Review com? ments as follows : '"For a month past every steamer from thc Last has brought unusually large num? bers ol' woinon. Over one-third of all the cabin ! . agers have boon of thc female gender. Tho matrimonial market ol thc Pacific coast, although not in thc lino of our legitimate remarks, is be L'oniing (jude an object of attention at tho East. Thc war consumed over eight hundred thousand men, and in some States the excess of women over be sterner sex is ulmost seven or eight to one. The Pacific States and Territories contain nearly thirty times moro men tbnn women, aud if thc righi -sort ol'the latter seek this market in a quiet tray, tho probabilities aro greatly in favor of chang ng their names soon alter arrival. This would result in building up thousands of homesteads, rendering our population more stable and moral, increasing respect and obedienco to the laws, im ptoring and unfolding our rosources, and better? ing our condition in all other respects." In all probability this market will still bo conducted by .rivale (speculators, an heretofore, and from tho remarks nbovo quoted, it would seem that the lusiness is lively. A London correspondent describes Disraeli aa 'a gentleman buttoned up in a frock cjat, with a Bace full ol lines and seams, and a heavy, almost sad Jock in the eyes, a yellow complexion, and lliin eui U just showing beneath his hat. He walks with one hand behind Iiis back, bi:? eyes bent upon the ground, a stoop in his shoulders, and generally with the appearance of a rather dissipa? ted luau-except for thc intensely thoughtful aud intellectual ioo'c which dignities the countenance. An Alabama editor recently made u wholesale black mail speculation by announcing that if a hollie or champagne should be sent him, ho would refrain from mentioning "a certain little affair."
