It will have a tower two hundred feet high. -A New York paper knows of a poor woman in that city who embroidered a child's garment by fourteen days' steady work, and received therefor $4. The material cost the merchant who paid the prioe for work on it $7. The complete article cost him 111, and he sold it recently for $70. We have no comment to make on this ; it tells its own stoiy. -The ex-Empress Carlotta was informed for the drat time, four days ago, of the death of Maximilian. It is not known how she received the announcement, nor has any report since been made of her condition. The remains of the late Emperor Maximilian were landed at Trieste on Thursday, with imposing ceremo? nies. -Portland has completely risen from the ashes of the great fire of 1866. A Portland newspaper says that "a new city has grown up amidst the ruins; large and elegant ware? houses now occupy the waste places of but two years ago, equalling in magnificence and ex? tent those of any city on the continent. Capi? talists are coming in and investing tuoir means to help enrich and populate our fair city." -Frankenstein appears to have turned up in real earnest in New Jersey. An ingenious mechanician has actually invented a steam man. The figure is Borne seven feet high, and is thus colossal, as befits such a monster, and a steam engine in its bow?,. - is said to have the power of three horses. Dressed in fashionable clothes, with a hat whioh is a "stove pipe" in reality as well as In name, a race of white enamel and neat? ly painted whiskers. This affair will draw & load for three horses at the rate of a mile a minute. -The heirs of the late John A. Washington, of Virginia, have begun suit iu Chicago for the recovery of one hundred thousand dollars' worth of real estate in that city, which was owned by Washington at the tune he was shot in Virginia, in 1861. A Chicago lawyer made bis way through the lines, and finding the Washington heirs, represented tn al Yne ?%\&\?> would be confiscated if it remained m their name, and had it deeded to him for safety. He has einco refused to restore it-hence the suit. -The Revolution is a new paper, and the or? gan of woman's rights. The editor, or editress, thus exposes the sham morality of Massachu sttte:**'With sixteen hundred divorce oases in one year in Massachusetts, wo should think the family relation was already somewhat dis? turbed even at the Hub, and while woman in that State has no right to the joint earnings of the marriage copartnership, and is ranked with idiots, lunatics, minors, paupers and criminals, she is already as degraded politically as she well can bo." -Lieutenant General Sherman, it is said, ex? pressed himself very strongly in regard to the reinstatement of Stanton. The New York Herald's correspondent is informed that, in connection with a high official, he alluded to the subject pretty much in this style: "If a chsr..i. Bed staff offioer of mine were to be fbrv Pu back upon my staff during war, by action of the Senate, I should give him all the messages-to carry to the front." "To have bttn shot off, 1 suppose," said the official .'Certainly, sir," replied the General, very em? phatically. The conversation was related to the President, who smiled and remarked, "The trouble is in this oaae that I can't send Stanton to the front." -A few days ago General James Longstreet o ailed at the residence of General Hancock in New Orleans, and sent in hid card. Gen. Han? cock was then engaged with some friends, ladies and gentlemen. He immediately left them to receive his old army friend, more recently his foe, but now again his friend, and after a warm greeting insisted upon conducting Gene? ral Longstreet into the parlor and introducing lum to the company there assembled. The etyls nf the introduction was peculiar. " La dies and gentlemen," said General Hancock, "ABOW me to introduce to you a gallant gen v Uemsn, to whom I am indebted for an ungrace? ful limp, and whom I had the misfortune to wing in the same combat." Although the com? pany was composed exclusively of ladies and gentlemen whose sympathies were on the Union tide in the late war, the incident excited a pro? found and pleasurable sensation. -Facts which have been developed within the last few days tend to prove the existence of a deep-laid conspiracy against President johnson. A series of measures have been ?greed on, all looking to a collision with the Executive by forcing Mr. Johnson to become the agressor. A few days ainoo a resolution waa introduced into the Senate, direotingthe Judicary Committee to inquire into the expedi? ency of providing by law for the suspension of aa officer during his impeachment, and arm? ing the Senate with power to enfore its orders. Then we have a bill muzzling the Supreme Court, so that it shall not interfere to arrest the progress of tho plot; whde the reconstruc? tion bill now under consideration in the Boase, strips the President .of all bis Exeou. tive powers and clothes the General command? ing the armies with absolute authority. The same bill makes it a misdemeanor for the President to interfere with the exercise of this authority, so tl at any attempt on his part to protect or defend his Executive pre? rogatives, under the constitution, becomes a misdemeanor for which he may be impeached. Thus, it is hopad, the President will be forced into a collision which will result in his im? peachment and suspension, while Mr. Wade will quietly assume the duties of President, with Genera] Grant to support his usurpation. The Radicals now declare their purpose to move on boldly and to accomplish their ends by diiect and positive legislation,, admitting that they have been seriously damaged by former timidity and hesitation. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MOBNI?G, JANUARY 20, 1868. Prospecta of Cotton. The disasters of the last year arose part? ly from temporary, partly from permanent causes. To discriminate between these causes is of prime importance-at least to distinguish the permanent ones, which must henceforth enter i i all our oaloulations for the future. The fact is pate.it that the present price of cotton has in most instances not remu? nerated the labor employed in its produc? tion. While the farmer who, with his chil? dren and a few domestics, tilled tbe soil, succeeded, the planter failed. With rare exceptions, those who cultivated large tracts were unablJ to repay the loans they contracted at th) beginning of the past year, and can seo are no capital for the nec? essary expenditures of thia. We have in mind, for example, the owner of thousands of acres who lat t year re-established his agricultural interest by the mortgage of his plantation, and who eventually reoeived as his share of the crop three bags of cotton and a hundred bushels of corn ! He is a ruined man-ruined by permanent causes. Others have not recovered from their fields the worth of the leed planted there;-these for the most part hare been ruined by local and temporary onuses. In forecasting the future, we need to set aside whatever em? barrassments ami distresses arise from the latter source, laxes may be changed into bounties; the army worm may oeaae to in? vade; the cloudii of war may drift away from Europe; a capricious nature may be conciliated, and turning to us her long averted face may smile upon our fields in sunshine and enrich our impoverished acres with largesses of rains and dews !-but none of these change! can affect the laws of po? litical eoonomy-a steadfast, inexorable power, which hus decreed henceforth the low prioe of cotton, and bas authoritatively assigned limits to its production. This "shrinkage" both in quantity and in value it becomes our people carefully to consider. The quantity of cotton that we can raise is now much h ss than it formerly was. Once the Southern farmer (for we eschew the contemptuous phrane imported from abroad-"tho poor white") who labored with his family in the ootton field, gathered about as much ootton in proportion to the number of hands, as the planter who em? ployed slaves. This parallelism no longer exists. The ru* nial labor hired by the lat? ter, has depreciated, say about fifty per cent, in productive power. It reaohes the old proportion only where the employer and the hireling labor together in the field. Besides this, u large number of persons previously enlisted in the work (we refer particularly to the women and boys j are now detached to the cabin and the school? room. Until, therefore, immigration in? creases the nun ber of Southern farmers, it is impracticable for the South to raise the aver? age crop of for uer years'. General SCOTT'S estimates to tho contrary, we can accept simply as an evidence of his good wishes;- j Ova* axe whollj incompatible with the pain? ful facts which the Bureau itself pleads as its claim to a prolonged existence. Until years have elapsed, suoh hopeful exhibits and prognoitisationa cannot be realized. The yield of tbe whole South in 1866 was about double what was raised by the single State of Mississippi sixteen years before. But the cottcn monopoly of the South bas been affected by other than political causes causes which have been in operation for half a century, which would have operated in the course of time junt as they now do, but whioh were stimulated into unwonted activity by the privations of manufacturers during the late war. The ootton orop of ? Brazil, India and Egyp:, has been steadily increasing, and improving in quality as well. The Egyptian ootton is long staple nearly equal i i quality to our Sea Island. That of.Brazil, which is also long staple, is superior to Middling Orleans, whioh last commands the sprioe of but ?d. or Jd. above carefully picked and well ginned Surats. Thus the superiority whether of our long staple or Bhor*. staple cotton, is not so pro? nounced as to enable us to sway the market of Liverpool or the looms of Manchester. The active competition-perhaps we should say the dangerous rivalry-of other lands, imposes a limit at the South upon the re? munerative production of her chief staple. The day has gone by when it was pru? dent to neglect the culture of corn and the smaller cereals, and the rearing of stock, the establishment of factories, the opening of mines, th j planting of orchards and vineyards-when the South needed no other wealth than the white blooms that over? spread her fortile acres. Development of | resources and variety of employments are essential to our prosperity. Whatever new industry is eutablished. now is a public ben? efit. We net d to become independent-and this we neve : can be while our fortune de? pends entirely upon the cotton orop-that is to say, upjn a produot which industrial disorganization, hostile legislation and for? eign competi tion conspire at once to limit and depreciate. "I'lace au: Dames P' The destitution now prevailing in our community is a fact :hat strikes even the casual sojourner. VLe distress is more es? pecially felt among ladies, who lost their natural proleotors during tbe war, or who, by the general financial wreck which fol? lowed the collapse of the Confederacy, sud denly found themselves reduced from a po? sition of affluence and ease to absolute want. Every one can call to mind many such cases. No class of our people is more entitled to sympathy and succor, than these generally silent sufferers. The good Samaritans cf j our city have been busy for months past devising ways and means for thc relief of these unfortunate victims ol the war. The "Mutual Aid Association" and the "Home for the Widows and Orphans of Confederate Soldiers" both have this object in view, and the many charitable associations that have arisen from the debris of the late volun teer militia organizations of the city have been formed for a like purpose. They are all en? gaged in a noble Christian work, and we wish them God-speed. But the relief fur? nished by these organizations and by the st ill more extended eleemosynary system of the oity government, is limited in scope, of a temporary character, therefore alwayB precarious, and, at best, only the gilts of cold-handed charity. The best plan to help people, is to put them in the way of helping them? selves. And here has always been the great difficulty, so far as ladies are con? cerned. The occupations open to them are very few. Keeping a boarding-house, teaching school, and sewing, is the whole oompass of the callings usually considered respectable for ladies. All cannot keep boarders; some capital or credit is requi? site, which many cannot oommand; and the mistress of a boarding-house has at best a toilsome, thankless, and often unprofitable life. To teach school, a certain degree of education is requisite. It is true, most of our young ladies, if not all, may bc supposed to have the necessary qualifications for some part in this arduous work. But the number of situa? tions is limit ed, t h e competition great, and the pay, we believe, generally very small. The almost, universal introduction of the sewing maohine has greatly diminished the chances of a livelihood for any one dependent on the needle for a support. And these chances are still further reduced at the present time of general financial depression, when econ? omy is the order of the day, and very fev. ladies can afford to indulge in the luxury of a seamstress, milliner or dressmaker. It becomes necessary, therefore, to look around and see if there be no other avenues open to female industry. Are the decrees of society inexorable ? Is the crust of so? cial prejudioe impenetrable ? Are there not many occupations now filled by men that of right and from their nature should belong to ladies ? What arduous duties are required of the retail vender of dry goods, fancy goods, confectionery, china and glass? ware, shoes and boots, etc., that a young woman could not discharge just as well as the "nice young man," who now measures out tape and ribbon, or weighs candy be? hind tho counter '! Could not a woman sell sugar, coffee, tea and spices as well as the splendid oreaturo in pantaloons, who .now presides over the solemn mysteries of the retail grocery trado ? Drug stores and book and stationery es? tablishments should be open to them, for they could sell calomel and hair dyes, Miss Braddon's novels or inkstands, just as well as their masculine counterpart now per? forms those serious duties. They would also make good book-keepers, lawyer's clerks, etc., and in the larger cities of France and Germany have long been em? ployed in these capacities. Time was when it was thought a woman could not teach a school, and in some countries the prejudice lingers still. Our present arbitrary posi? tion on the subject of female avocations is just as void of reason and full of prejudice, and must inevitably yield to the spirit of progress and the exigencies of the times. It will be asked what is to become of the rn?' 'isplaccd. Let the untitled acres in every district in the State answer. Men can shift for themselves better than women. Let "ttom .s%%^ to oAhar occupations. Let them delve, hew and dig, if they oan find nothing else to do. To maintain their su? periority they must show the "weaker sex' that they are cast in a sterner mould, and, as they are stronger, are willing to bear the heavier burdens of life. Our purpose in these remarks is practi? cal, not speculative, and we earnestly hope that some of our merobants will act prompt? ly on the hint, and give tho experiment fair trial. THE PRESENTMENT of the grand jury of the Court of Common Fleas and General Sessions, which we print elsewhere in to? day's paper, is a somewhat remarkable dooument, tho usual functions of the grand jury being strangely complicated by the ex? traordinary features of the political and social revolution through which we are passing. We bespeak for tho presentment a careful reading.
