J.) Locomotive Works have received orders for making twenty en? gines for the Pacific Railroad. -Utah is becoming a manufacturing region. Announcements are made of the erection of two wooden factories there. -Queen Victoria has obtained the second prize for fat pig6 at the Birmingham oattle ebow. -Chicago so troubles St. Louis that the Board of Trade of the latter city is about to petition Congress to protect it against Chica? go's malicious persecution. -The greatest activity now exists in both political parties in New Hampshire, and emi? nent speakers on both sides are soon to take the stump. -Rev. James Gibbous, of the Baltimore Ca? thedral, has been confirmed by the Pope, and will soon be consecrated Catholic Bishop of North Carolina. -As a precaution against the Greek fire the English authorities are having quantities of sand conveyed to all the government offices and placed in heaps inside the windows of every floor that is at all accessible from the outside. -Three of the obalisques of the Sultan of Turkey were recently drowned in the Bospho rus by the Imperial order. They were his greatest favorites, and his suddou change and cruelty have sproul terror in tho harems. -A new route is projected from the Atlantic to the Pacific through British America, of which 2400 milos will be by water, 1285 miles by railroad already constructed, leaving only 648 miles of railway yet to be built. -A proposition has been made to the Com? mon Couuoil of Petersburg, Va., to light the streets of that city with kerosene, instead of gas, which, it ia said, will effect a saving of $2000 in the city expenses. -The Bank of England willingly gives "good money" for all nil var which has been worn smooth by fair wear and tear. If, however, the coins bear the slightest sign of lU-usuge, such as a dent or a serai ch, it declines to ohange them. -The late campaign in Kansas in favor of women's rights has not been without tangible resulta, as we notice that on Wednesday last Miss Emma Hunt was elected enrolling clerk of the lower house of the legislature of that State. This is, we believe, the first case of the kind on record. -"Moonstone," whioh is the name Wilkie Collins gives to his new story, proves to be a mysterious diamond brought from India, and watched by ghostly guardians. The tale shows already the old scaffolding of separate narra? tives and particularization of dates and minute Incidents whioh are ordinarily used to produce the proper sensation. -By fifty thousand majority the people of Ohio decided at the late election that no negro shall have the right of suffrage in that St ate. Steps are being taken in the l?gislature to carry out this determination of the people. Mr. Pennis ter of Pike county, has introduced a bill making it a penal offenoe for any judge of the election to receive a vote from any per? son who has "a visible admixture of African blood." -A party composed of two ladies and two gentlemen, in a pleasure boat on Ooo nee Riv? er, Ga., met with a fatal accident. On the 13th instant they were out in the vicinity of Stal? lings Bluff, Montgomery]County. The boat cap? sized and tue whole party were struggling iu the water. One of the young ladies anc one gentleman were saved, the other two drowned. The body of the gentleman had not been re? covered at last accounts. -In Louisville, Ky., there are about 30,000 Germans. Half of all the merchants of that city axe Germans. Half of all the taxes paid in Louisville are paid by Germans ; and it seems that the German language is taught in the public schools. Reoenily the question was mooted of discontinuing this branch of in? struction in the schools, whereupon an indig? nation meeting was called, which was attended by about 4000 persons. 8o says tho "Tennes? see Staats Zeitung." -The Scotch universities maleo little noise in the world, but they do a great deal of work. We see by their "calendars " for 't?8 that the sum now annuli;* distributed among stu? dents and graduates alone, oy means of fel? lowships, tko., in the Scotoh universities, amounts to upwards of twelve thousand five hundred pounds. This, though it appears small beside the eighty thousand pounds an? nually spent in Oxford on the same purpose, is a respectable sum for Scotland voluntarily to contribute to the support and encouragement of learning. -When we consider tb ? wreck of business iu the South, and especially in the Gulf States, it ia not a little surprising to learn, as we do from a report of the Special Commissioner of Internal Revenue, that of the twenty leading commercial cities of the United States, New Orleans ranks as the fourth. New York, Phil? adelphia and Boston are before her, but she has the precedence of Baltimore, St. Louis, Cincinnati, 8an Francisco, and other promi? nent cities. Tho exhibit embraces tho fiscal year ending June 30th, 1867, and the figures are supplied by the returns on "sales" and "licenses." -DeBow's Review for January has an article on the tobacco and segar manufactures of St. Louis. It Bays nativo Americans aro the principal tobacco growers, and the principal manufacturers of chewing tobacco ; and they bear their share in the wholesale trade in the manufactured articles. In all other branches of the whole tobacco business in St. Louis the Germans rule exclusively. Tho se^ar makers are nearly all Germans ; so tho manu? facturers of smoking tobacco, Not five per cent, of all the retail tobacconists belong to any other nationality. The Irish now engage in the tobacco trade. -A general lailroad law is the subject which most agitates the Pennsylvania Legisla? ture, lt was tho cause of the ''dead-lock" in tho House, of which we spoke a few days since. The proposed measure authorizes any persons to form a company and build a rail? road wherever they see fit. The Republicans of tho State are committed to the policy and there is every reason to believe that the law will be enacted. While then are confessedly some serious objections to tho plan, it bas also many advantages. Rnilroads in most of our Statos have come to wiold a power that is not always for the publio gcod, and that is at any rate of doubtful effect on our politics. If competing lines can bo astablished whore there is enough business to pay for both, this undue influence will be destroyed by their mu? tual antagonism, while tho publio will stand a much better chance of being properly BerweiL^ -The Paris wits Lave not done yet with Marshal Neil, who sought the other day to prove that the forced celibacy to which the army is subjected for six years greatly contri? butes to tho general welfare. He denied that the marriageable girls in Prance had any rea? son to complain that the conscription deprived them of eligible husbands. He laid down that the young mon rejeoted bykthe military boards of inspection as unfit for soldiers, thiough the loss of one eye. of several teeth, other bodily infirmities and weaknesses of coniititution, were not by reason of these disadvantages un? fit for marriage. Never perhaps in a French assembly has marriage been so severely reduc? ed to a simple question of tbe reproduction of the species. Can a ona armed, one-eyed young man produce healthy children? Tes, says science. The question is then Bottled, and what have the young girls to oo ni plain of? Such is the argument of Marshal Noil. Man is a reproductive animal an 1 nothing more. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 33, 18*58. Why Nott The Bill of Rights reported in tho Con? vention by Delegate BOWEN, Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, is refresh? ing. His 26th paragraph declares that "the estates of suicides shall descend or vest, as in oases of natural de*th [as they have always done from the times of the Roman Emperors], and that if any person shall bo killed by casu il ty [killed dead, we suppose he means] there shall be no forfeiture by reason thereof." A public token of esteem is due ~.o this admirable and seasonable safeguard to the rights of property. There is only one proviso that we would suggest as an amendment to the article. We beg Delega;e BOWEN to add, that if, in the latter case, that is when a man is '-kilt entirely," he should come to life again, as sometimes happens, the for? feiture then demanded by justice, should be strictly limited to his funeral expenses. With this addition the cluuse would be per? fect. The penalty would not be heavy, if the pig whick the deceased was carrying off, when the oasualty occurred, should be claimed for this necessary and sacred pur? pose. The 29th clause declares that "no stand? ing army shall be kept up without the con? sent of the General Assembly, and the mil? itary shall, iu all cases a od at all times, be in strict subordination tc the civil power." In other words, the General Assembly, which is to have the same complexion as the pr?sent pie-bald contention, may keep up a standing army, and may summon this new Pretorian guard, in all places and at all times, to execute its d ?sired will. Here, as in Tennessee, the law of the bayonet is to oppress the State, subjecting it to the sway of a minority wholly composed of aliens, renegades and menials. Mr. BOWEN, in his humble way, accepts the lesson that the Swedish Chancellor OXENSTIHBN gave his son: JV? ow, ml fiU, quantulu scient t? gubtrnaiur mundui. He remembers per? chance, how well SANCHO governed Bara? taria; he only forgets what happened when SANCHO went to war. The S2d clause declaros that "no citizen shall be exiled or prevented from emigra? ting on any pretenoe whatever." But what if his country's good requires his incarce? ration ? What if his l.berty to come and go makes the lives and the property of his fellow-citizens insecure ? What if he should be a murderer, a thief, o demagogue inflam? ing and arming tho giddy multitude, and claiming the privilege of being at large ? What if he should be an employer or a hire? ling, seeking to break Hs contract, and to evade his obligations, w aether of service or of pay ? What if he weira SANCHO himself trying to escape from hil trusting and for? lorn fellow-oitizens of Barataria ? Surely there ought to be some proviso here 1 The thirty-fourth article claims that every assooiation formed within the State and taking a name, may apply to the "Gene? ral Assembly" and be entitled to receive letters of incorporation to enable them to hold estates real aud personal. We confess that we were at first taken aback by this novel stroke of policy; its axiomatic wis? dom und profound originality appeared sublime. We expected .o read in the next olause the declaration that every man has tho right to dine at hin own table, and to sleep in his own bed. Wo concluded that some legal wag had benn imposing on the Chairman of the Judicic.ry Committee. But refection suggested that the Assembly re? ferred to, is the bogus assembly now in its birth-throes. The clause provides that Del? egates MACKGT, and BOWEN, and WHITTE MOBE, with their white disciples, and MOSES, with his colored brothers, shall exercise the powers reposed in the representatives of the State of South Carolina. Upon the real, as on the mimic stage, after the bloody tragedy comes the farce. It would be unkind to withhold our laughter. The Regions of the Pole. The bold Arctic explorer.Captain SHEUARD OSBORN, has met with little encouragement from the English press in his endeavors to get up an expedition to view the continent on which, according to the latent received doctrine of navigators in England, the North Pole is situated. The axes of the earth, he is told, aro hidden from mortal ken. Even astronomy cannot conjecture yet, whether they are surrounded by con? tinents, open sea, or ty icebergs towering towards the pole-star to a greater altitude than the highest of the Himalajas. Indeed, no one dreamB of exploring the ever-blaz? ing volcanoes of the Antartic Ocean, though the South Pole ia seven hundred miles be? yond them. However, the Royal Geograph? ical Society may be kinder than the press, and we shall not be surprised to find that i a steamer or two are sent to explore this Utopia of thc north. Certainly, as it seems, no one has ever set foot on Kellett's Land, and the geographers fret at the notion of its lying there unvisited. The whale hunters .think it is a chilly, uncomfortable, and val? ueless place; but this does not at all quench tho spirit of men like Captain OBBOHN, who come of the same stock as those daring old ^Elizabethan adventurers who made their way into the remotest lands. li mea . _/or Mt. _ NTUJH 'SALE7"A~JSK?V MILCH COW, JL Lurham Breed.
