VOLUME V.NO. 635. CHARLESTON, S. C., MONDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 2, 1867. PRICE FIVE CENTS To Ute Header* of the Dally News-Oar Kew Terms-The fash System. Thc announcement that on anti after the first of January the subscription price of THE DAILY NEWS will be reduced to Six Dollars a year bas been received with many substantial marks ot* appreciation by the public, both in the city and State. But in order to publish a tir&t-clu-s paper at that low price, we shall be compelled, in future, to adhere rigorously to the cash sys- j tem, and require, invariably, the payment of subscriptions in advance, lt should be gener? ally understood that everything required for the publication of :t newspaper-composition. * paper, press-work, labor, and expenses of every description-must unavoidably be paid for in CASH at the end of every week. If thc credit system is tolerated, aud subscribers neglect to pay promptly, the losses thus in? curred by publishers in a little while become intolerably onerous and oppressive. There are hundreds, however, in our city who, though anxious to take a live newspaper, and willing to pay for it, can ill alford, at this y time, even the small outlay of six dollar To accommodate this class of readers, we have made arrangements by which, on and after New Year's Day, THE DAILY NEWS will be delivered, every morning, before seven o'clock, in all parts of the city, by attentive and experienced newsmen, at EIGHTEEN ("EMS A WIK, payable weekly. The advantages of this plan are evident at a glance. Those who take their papers upon thc weekly system only pay out their money, week by week, as their papers are received : they run no risk; they can stop their paper at any time by giving one week's notice ; when they leave the city for a few weeks they can suspend their papers, and be at no expense. The yearly cost at the weekly rate is more than when the subscription at our advertised rates is paid in advance at our office ; but there is every reason to believe that the new plan will, by its sim? plicity, security, and the smallness of thc cash expense, enable many persons to take a daily paper who could not bec ome subsoribers for as long a period as six, or even three months. It is our desire to accommodate all classes of readers, and those who are not able to pay their subscriptions in advance can take advan? tage of the weekly arrangement, which will go into operation on January 1, next. 4 BY TELEGKAPH.

Most of the political notables are absent from the city on account of thc holidays, and Lhere is a complete dearth of news. It is now settled that the 1 ?resident will relieve General Pope; but it is not se;tled who will bo his ^ successor. The Hons. T. L.

NEW ORLEANS, December 26.-Tho Convention was engaged to-day in considering the reports ot the Committee to draft a constitution. Thc fol? lowing, which was the second article of the mi? nority report, waa adopted as tho first article of tho constitution by a voto of 57 to 17: "All men are created free aud equal and have certain in? alienable rights, among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just power* from thc consent of the gov? erned." Crawford, Cooley and SuJe'ing, opposed its adoption, as it would bring ridiculo on the con? vention and work to its prejudice if embodied in the constitution. After some further discussion the convention adjourned. Letter from a Well-known Alabamian.

It seems that they arc homily mor I paired, and that thc Mobilier requires thc Immobili?re to pay np. -The old custom of preaching by the sand-glass has been revived in au Eagliah church. It needs turning every twenty inmutes. It is stated that many old churches still !iavo thc highly wrought iron stands on which thc cid hour-glass used to stand, mostly of the age >f the Commonwealth. -When thc last steamet Uft England, the death of Cardinal Bofondi, prefer? nf the censorship, and spoken of as one-ot tho most liberal members of tho Sacred College, was momentarily expected. His death would make arother cardinal's hal va? cant, leaving nineteen at the Tope's disposal. -The two leading lawyers of Paris have an in? come from their profession of about thirty thou? sand dollars each, and have seven times as much business as they can attend to. One of them lends his name to eight young lawyers, who draw np briefs. They have .he work, and he the credit and thc profit. -Count Bismarck's yearly income, since he re? ceived the gift from tho Prussian Parliament, is between forty and fifty thousand dollars. He lives very economically, and, according to a correspon? dent, said some weeks ago to Rothschild that bo had no doubt that he would by-and-byo becomy a millionaire. Until 1835 lie was heavily in debt. -The Canadians intend to give $3300 in prises, at Hamilton, for runners ol ali distances, and pre? miums for tho host wrestlers and jumpers, on the 24 th of May next, beBidea a splendid silver cup for the best ten mile runner. The handicap entrances will average from $10 to $75, and the at'air is open to ail runners, walkers, junipers, and wrestlers m tho world. - It is said that starvation, poison and suffoca? tion were severally tried and proved ineffectual to desi roy tho lifo of General Montes in Hayti. At last ho was stabbed with a chisel, but so roughly thit he suffered dreadful * -mc-nts before death released him. Thc murder was by order of Sal nave. A brothor of the general has been captured, and is chained to the bloody bed of the murcered man. -Dr. Conneau, lately appointed a senator by Louis Napoleon, was once secretary to the Em? peror's father, Louis, King of Holland. He was arrested and condemned with tho present Em? peror for the descent on Bouiogue, and together they escaped from tho fortress of Ham. Madamo Conneau ia a singer, with a voice o? much sweet? ness and great compass, and their son is the p'ay fellow of the Princo Imperial. -The financia! question is causing much anxiety iii Mexico. Thc treasury ia said to bo in a worse condition than ever before, and there sc'^.s to bc little prospect of improvement. There bro strong opposition to borrowing money in tho United States, and there would be souio difficulties m the way ol* getting it, we suspect, if there were no such opposition. While tho expenditures of Gov? ernment are going on, tho revenues do not in? crease, and tho people, who are the creditors of the Republic, see only distress and ruin before them. The greatest difficulty is with the anny, whoae pay is far in arrears. The soldiers are al? most driven to form themselves into tends and secure a subsistence by levying upon travellers. Bandits, highway robbers and burglars are com? mitting depredations in every part of the country, demanding tribute from transportation brains, and in ?omo eases from tow:is and cities. The way out of the difficulty is not clear, and a return to tho former anarchical state ot the country is much to be feared. -Tho body of Maximilian was placed in the parish chur?h at Vera Cruz guarded by sentries, and the key of the coffin, in a sealed package, given into the hamL of the mayor ol' the city. Ad? mira! Tegethoff and staff appeared in citizens' clothes, in deep rnourning, at the ceremony of tak ng tho remains in charge. Eirst, a large deal case was opened, in which was contained another case of zinc. This, when opened, revealed a beau? tiful rosewood coffin, the top of which was orna? mented with an elegantly carved cross. The Mayor then broke the seals of the packages and took out the goldon key, presenting it to the person in charge of opening the coffin. When the lid was thrown back upon its golden hinges, thc body of the unfortunate Prince was seen, clad in black, with black gloves upon the hands, tho lace perfect but of an ashy brown color, closely packed in velvet cushions. Thc Admiral recognized the body, and, wi h all his staff, signed a roceipt in triplicate, ono cc iv for the Mexican General, another for the Ad m ral, and the third for preservation iu the archives o. tho city. The body was guarded in tho church uutil morning, and thou quietly embarked. -"I know,'' said King Theodore of Abyssinia, lately, in a conversation with M. Legcau, "I know tho tactics of European Governments, when they wish lo get possession ot Eastern territory. They first of all send missionaries; thon they send con? suls to strengthen the missionaries; and finally battalions to strengthen the consuls. I am not a raj:th of Hindostau, to be bamboozled in that way. 1 prefer to deal with the battalions, first." Theo? dore has evidently very little reverence for tho missions or the modes bj which European* try to civilize tho rest of manki id. He sceuis to express the general opinion concerning that English ex? pedition to bis country and his words might very aptly have furnished dc text for some late arti? cles in the London 7 ?mes and thc speeches of Mr. Layard and other i in Parliament-all of which point out the insiuous means by which tho Queens Govornmer; have picked a quarrel with the it'd Sea Poten'ate. Theodore seems to bea very shrewd mar -a little high-handed in a natu? ral, kingly wa-, but not quite tho tyrant and monster thc "inglisb Lave hitherto represented bim.

The demand for building material is on the increase. -Over 1?00 bales of cotton have passed through Fernandina tins season, the larger part of which came to Charleston. -The chills and fever, so prevalent al Foman? dina during the past Summer and Fall, have left on tho approach ot Winter, and the city ii rejoic? ing in its accustomed health. -Tiio Fernandina Courier learns that the first of the steamers to ply between that place and New York was lu leave the latter city on thc '23th. and might be expected about the first of January. -The J.ickaonvillo Union reports large numb? ers of strangers arriving from the North. The hotels and boarding houses are full to overflowing, aud the need or additional accommodations for travellers and sojourners ia batllv felt. Some splendid oranges and lemons haw rc couth b en sent from Jacksonville lo New York as Bampios ot Florida productions. Six of the lemons averaged thirteen inches in circumference, and the whole weighed sewn pounds. A.\ ISDEPEXOETST FAMILV. -The Camden Journal narrates the following facts, and pertinently ask? : ls such a family dept ? dent upon Cufies? \ friend of oms, with whom we apeul a couple of night.- ti feu v.i, ks ago, With the aid of his two sims, one scarcely largo onougb toplouch, made this year, three bales ol cotton, upwards of four hun? dred bushels ol corn, ouo huudred bushels of peas, tWOhundred bushels O? sweet potatoes, besides Irish potatoes, pim", rs ,\.-., and had thirteen hog.; ready for thc knifo, which would nett bim 2000 to lo 2300 pounds oi pork, vitli flour enough to servo him until harvesting bis next nop of wheat, of which ho lins planted largely.

An unfortunate difficulty ocenrrodlately in the lower pari ot Laurena district about ter. davs since, between li. B. Lvles and his father-in-law, which resulted in the death of the lutter. Mr. Ervin McPherson, having succeeded in capturing uneoftho.se cid '-dreads"-a wildcat-on Jonday last, brought it to Florence on Mondav, that those who had never seen one, might do so. IL W IS captured with dogs. -The Winnsboro' Herald says; Mr. B- L. Mobley bas laid on our table the leg, foot and talons of a monster eagle captured by him m ar Votiugosville in this district. Tho eagle measures six feet nine inches from tip to tip of ita wings. The span ot its terrible talons is six and a half inches. Those who desire to sec for themselves may call al this office. It maybe remembered that about a year ago Mr. Brice killed a large eagle in the same neighborhood. -The Florence Gazette says.: On Thursday night last, the store ofW. C Idsmtth, kept near the rail? road depot, was entered by thieves, and goods amounting to some $."?00 taken off. Tho clerks, three in number, were all asleep in thc store at the tittie, but not going to bed until very late, were so much exhausted that they knew nothing of the deed until morning. This case will comparo, m boldness, with an j over committed m this section. As yet, no clue has been obtained. -The Newborn- Herald says: "Three of the soldiers of this post dc.sert'-.l on friday night Inst, between the hours of 10 and 11 o'clock, taking with them three of tho best horses belonging to tho command. To prevent immediate pursuit, they cut nearly all the bridle reins and stump leathers in the stable in which the stock is kept. Pursuit was made, however, very shortly after, but up to this time nothing has been seen or heard of them. -Quite a st ir was created last Saturday in Wiuns boro' by severul ol the newly enfranchised who came to lay in n stock of Christmas "lixins" nt the store-keeper's expense. .Messrs. Ladd Bros., and Thompson, Withers and Woodward were mule the victims ol their empty maws (and these were in the shape of bags); lin: former drm recovering about fifteen dollars worth of goods, aud tho latter at least double that amount. As soon as tho pro? per authorities were Informed of the stealing, they started out and arrested two of the thieves in town. Willi rapid speed tho two deputies, Bobert M. Boliek and Samuel Murphy, set out in pursuit of the others who were indicated, nut bv a flank movcmciii thoy made their escape. On Monday, however, thc unescaped. as it is supposed, came to town to t>oo what had become of tho missing abettors, and very promptlv the Shoriff had them arrested and put "in limbo." -The Carolina Spartan says: "At an inquest held about live mil s "ruth of Spartanbtirg, J. M.

LiimodJately after thc disappearance of his wife, ho took to his houso au amour, wita whom he has since been livitig. I. rend? Expedition to thc North Pole. lu thc French Bulletin of tho Geographical*So? ciety for August, wc find sotno particulars of thc plan of an expedition to thc North Pole, under M. Gustave Lambert, a former pupil of the Poly? technic School, and navigator and hydrographer. Ho proposes to attain his object by entering the Arrtic Sea, through the Straits of Behring, "in order to reach Polynia), an acknowledged open sea, and thenco to thc North Pole itself." His project is based on practical observations made by himself at sea, and on certain mat ters assumed as granted, mid has been presented by him in such a shape as to enlist in its favor many influential rapportera, among whom arc the Archbishop of Paris, thu Ex Ministcr Drouy ii de LH'uys, and the French Em? peror, who gives his cordial approval, and a con? tribution ol' ten thousand dollars. After mauy perilous attempts and much suffer? ing and loss ol lifo, the problem of a northwest passage by sea was solved by Captain McClure in 1853, ho far us to show a continuous water commu? nication between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. A geographical problem was solved, but with it the dream of a channel being found open for commer? cial intercourse between Em ODO and Asia in that direction, was disputed. Captain McClure, who entered tho Arctic Sea by thc Straits ol' Behring, could not carry his voisel through, but w?s obliged to travel over the tightly-trezen passage until he met bis^conntrymon in their exploration;! from the east of Baffin's Bu? . The failure to find a northwest passage from ocean to ocean for any useful or practical purpose has, however, only served to give another direction to the lovers of Arctic adventure, wi.ich would seem tj bo attrac? tive in proportion to its danger, and, ono might be tempted lo add, in proportion to tho barrenness of its results. Ii remains to ho shown how far science, in its departments of climatology, natural history and magnetism, has gamed in the different Arctic expeditions. To roach the North Pole is now a favorite geographica] problem, tho solution ol which is deemed tho more easy since the belief in nu open Polar Sea has gained .-o ninny advocates. Opinions are divided as lo tho best direction to bo taken for reaching th? Pole. M. Lambert, tho French navigator, propase--, as we have seen, to goby the Straits ol Behring on the northwest. On tiie other Bido, or from the east, we find Cap? tain Sherard Osborn, of thc British navy, Doctor ll ayes, and others, recommend the route byway of Smith's Sound throngh Baffin's Hay in vessels, and from the former to tho Pole bv means of sledges and boats. This was tho plan previously projected timi virtually carried out by Dr. Kane, one of whose companions, William .Morton, bend? ing a sledge party, obtained, at au elevation of 5o?i feet, ?i view Ol what he believed to lie an open sea, "with an ?celosa horizon and a he ivy swell rolling in with while caps." From Capo Parry, the north em point of Smith's Sound, to tho Polo, tho dis? tance is but ls4 geographical miles, and a jour? ney back woulel make DCS miles, n distance which has been repeatedly exceeded by Arc? tic .-ledge and boat parlies. "Lieutenant Hamilton did 1150 miles with a dog sledge and on" man," and Dr. Hayes travelled 1300 hides from thc time ht? loft his vessel jn Smith's .Sound uutil bis return. But a majority of Arctic officers are in favor ol' making the attempt by way of thc Spitzbergen Seas, between the island ol'this name a.?d that 'of Nova Zembla, on the faith in tho theo? ry of Dr. Petermau, the eminent liorm m geogra? pher, that a wntiu curren) flows from tho coast of .Norway in thar direction into tho Polar Sea, and extending self to the vicinity of tho Polo. The chief ubsl*<do to surmount in tin.- r.;ulo is thought to lie ni ibo outol bar??er ul lli.es .nut padkod ice, forming a movable bank ol'five degrees ol latitude (3000 geographical miles) in extent. This once passed. Dr. IVterman believes Ibo ships would Outer a sea easy of navigation, extending to thc highest latitude, and even to tho Pole itself. A Prussian expedition hi ima direction baa been talked of for the last two unis. Thc Ucean Itottom. Mr. Green, tho famous diver, tells singular stories of his adventures, when making search in tho deep waters of the ocean. Ho gives some new sketches ed'what ho saw al the "Silver Bank,' near Hnvti : Tiie banks or coral an which my divings were made are about forty miles in length,and hom len to twenty in breadth. On this bank of coral is presented lo the diver ono of tho most beautiful and sublime seems tho eye ever I? held. The watei >..ii. .- from tun to ono hundred feet in depth, and so clear thal thc divorc msec from two to throe hunelrcd feet whon submerged, with but little oh (ruction to tho sight. The bottom <>i the ocean in many places, is as smooth as a marble flour; III others i! is studded with coral columns, from icu to ono huudrcd Icc in height, and hom ono tu eight) '?11 hi diameter. I'he tops of th'-, o more lofty support a myriad of pyramidal pendant?, cacti forming a myriad moro giving rea!i!y lo the imaginary abode of some wa' r-aymph. lu other pim ?: the pendants form arch after arch, and, a.- tho diver stands on thc boitjin of tho t ce.tii.aiul nzcn through in Ike deep windin:' avenues, h Quels that they till him with as sacred an awe as ii he wcro iu some uld cathedral win. lt had lout! been buried liencath old ocean's wave.

They were ail otu faint buo. owing to tho palo light they received, although of. .?. ry shade, and en liicly difforcnt from plants that I am familiar with that*vegetate UJKIII dry ?ant!. OM: in particular attracted roy attention; it resembled a .tea-fan ol ?inmenso size of variegated colors, and the mos! brilliant hue. thc fish which inhabit these "Sil? ver Banks"] found as different in kind as the scenery was varied. They were of ?ll forms, <->>l ois, and sixes- -lrom the symmetrical goby to the glob-li!. . sunfish; from the dullest hue lo thc changeable dolphin; from th<- siiots of tho leopard lo Hie hues <>f the sunbeam; from the harmless minnow to the voracious shark. Some had heads like squirrels, uthers Uki cats and dogs, somo of small size resembled thu bull terrier. Some darted through the wal r like me? teors, while others could scarcely be seen to move. Tu enumerate and explain all thc various kinds ?f tish I beheld while diving on these banks would, were I enough of a naturalist so to do, re? quire more than my limita allow; tor I am con? vinced that most of the "rinds of tish which inhabit tho tropical seas can bo found there. Tho sun fish, star tish, white shark aud blue or shovel-nose shark were often seen. There were also fish which resembled plants, and remained as fixed in their position as a shrub; tliooidv power they possessed was to open and shut when in danger. Some of them resembled thc rose when in full bloom, abd were ol'all hues. There were thc ribbon fish, from four or five inches to throe feet in length; their eyes are very large, and protrude like those of a frog. Another fish is spotted like a leopard, from three to ten feet in length. J hey build their houses like beavers, in which they spa wu, and the male or female watches the egg until it hatches. I saw many specimens of the tireen turtle, some five feet loni;', which 1 should think would weigh from 100 to 500 pownds. Thc Fisheries of Allaska. Thc Sitka correspondent of the New York Tri? bune, writes under date of November 2: New England has hitherto had tho almost exclu? sive control of the fishing interests o? the country. Every Massachusetts mun knows well that it is a source ol' income of no trivial importance. Prior to thc settlement of California, tho .New Bedford whalcmon had discovered that tho waters of tho Northern Pacific-and especially that the vicinity of thc Aleutian or Western Islands ol' Aliaska were thc habitat--the favorite home of tho genu? ine cod, equaling in size, flavor, and abondance, tho far-famed Newfoundland species of this fish. In truth, tho two nre so nearly identical in taste that tho Nantucket sailors tho best of judges - claim that they cannot bc distinguished. For several Bensons there has been an increasing number of vessels from San Francisco and Van? couver visiting the coast of Ounalaska and tho adjacent islands, where there is a series of banks, from 250 to -100 feet in depth, swarming with what Hawthorne calls .' the sturdy, awkward fish which never deludes the angler.' Thir success has only been partial, for the Russians have never allowed any foreign vessels to land and cur . tish on tho coast, rho .season for drying them ia from April to the middle of October. Now that thc seafar? ing men of this coast havo opened to them the needed facilities on shore for drying aud packing, tho business will become remunerative and stable. Tho market for dried fish at t he East has always been certain. When developed it caunol be less so on tho Pacific. Compared with mining, it af? fords a far more certain and trustworthy profit. Nor aro thc waters abounding with tho cod limited to the region of Uunalaslm. Seven hun? dred miles lurther west, at Attoo-the most re? mote of our newly pureba cd islands-Captain Kent zo!, as well as all Russian authorities,reports the codas readily caught as upon any part of tho coast. The fishing ground is unlimited; and whilo this field ol' productive industry has not tho ex? citement and rapid growth which sometimes at? tends tho development of tho mining woalth of thc country, yet is lree from tho ruinous reverses which HO "often overwholm tho latter. The wide net-work of channels, sounds, and straits which surround thc Sitka, or eastern grqup of islauds arc, singularly enough, entirely destitute of cod, but their absein e is fully compensated for by the great abundance of .-almora and halibut, of which these waters aro extremely prolific. There aro four distinct, species of Ba Inion, tho most nume? rous of which have tho plumpness, small head and red flesh of the genuine ''Konncbec," so mucti prized bv the gourmands of Boston aud New York. At ihe dam of tho artificial ice pond, at tho head of Rcdutzky Lake, two thousand barrels can bo caught at odell spring "run," although thc stream isa comparatively shallow one. At thc mouin of theStickeen they are taken weighing from thirty to fifty pounds, and in all thc mainland'tho island streams-even tho smaller creeks-thc;, are found lo quantities which, il'staled at the Ea-t. would at once oft pronounced a ''fish story." Tin y lorin tho staple artiel? of food with the native tribes on this coast, who aro trait; to tnko them with tho rudest contrivances. Enter thc huts of any Indian village, oven in October, when they are'ruputed scarce, and you will find thickly HtispeuJed over hbYid long rows of red salmon m tho process of ?ryil?? aud smoking. Last week L saw two natives return w'ii.'i ono hundred and seven as thc result of the day's \. ^.rk. Tho halibut htrs.. a well-known value on the Pacific coast, and is r?^'led as equal, if not su? perior, to thoso found nv.*ho Atlantic market. Thoro is no part of tho world Chere they aro so abundant as among the waters surrounding these islands. They can bc caught at all seasOnS. From Chatham Straits, thirty railes abovo here, tL..' In? dians brim; thom in weighing 350 pouuds. If is amusing lo seo with what dexterity a Koloosh will" take ono ol' the.se unwieldy fellows into his canoe. A landsmau would overturn his skiff m attcmplintr to "bag" ono of fifty pounds; hut 1 havo seen a na? tive hook one of three times that weight, break its neck as it emerged from the water, and slide it as readily over thc stern of his canoe as if it were a common flounder. lhere can bc no doubt that at some future time- probably not many years the catching and curing of halibut will become a regular business in Eastern Aliaska. I must not omit to mention thc existence and peculiarities ol'another fish-ono not mentioned nt the "books"-which is lound in great numbers in tho coast rivers, from tho N'tss to the Stickeen. lt is spoken of as the "oolikon" by the Hudson Hay Company, but is generally known as the "small fish," or "candle fish," among the coasters, lt appears annually ubout tho first week in .May, and Mr. Ainsley, tho pilot of the John L. Stephens, says that on some days ho has known it difficult to row a boat across tho'mouth of tho Naas. River on account of the denso mass of these fish m tho water. Sometimes an f.dvcrse fido or heavy winda bilges tons ot them upon thc shore. The Indians know of their arrival by thc flight of the birds northward. They soldom continue over fifteen days, and during this time tho natives ?rom Fort fjimpsou and all the adjacent regions hasten to .tho least of fat things." This fish is six to eight iuch03 long, in form resembles tho smelt, has a shining and almost transparent appearance, and of all tile finny tribes is the most fat. Its lat Las not tho oily, raueid tasto of other fish, but has tho sweet taste of fresh lard. Tho Indians store great quantities of it, and if well carod for it re? mains sweet for months. When they are dried tho Indiaus often turn thom to a novel and practi? cal account-burn them m place of candles. They give a clear, brilliant light, and are not liablo to be blown out by thc wind. Mr. Manson, tho Su? perintendent at Fort Simpson, says that the tail should be lighted instead of the head, and that each fish will last about fifteen minut?s. In a dark night the men who took natives for guides used to reckon a mile o;f travel for every five fish burned. Another luaus natura ot the Aliaska coast is tho mammoth crab, found in tho waters of Cook's Inlet, and Prince Willi nu's Sound. Wore it not well authenticated one would hardly credit its size. It measures full F'X feet from tip lo tip of its claws. Captain Lctnarmhefsky of tho Alexandria, caught eight of thom, and found that ho could put the bodies ot only throe in a barrel. Thc legs arc about tho size of a man's wrist, and aro filled with palatable meat. They are not numerous, ?laving the structure of the common crab, their sizo fits them for a deeper and sal" homo in the ocean. WE ARE our, o\v>: MANUFACTURERS.
