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.

Tuc ASSAULT eros uri EDITO:: OF THE SAVAN?
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.

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

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

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."
Ht received seven bottles from seven persons,
