The property consisted mostly of small dwelling houses, remote from the great centres of business and population. Prices range from $6000 to $10,000, which are rather lower, the auctioneers say, than the same houses and lots were held at this time last year." . -A Washington letter says : "The trial of , John H. Surratfc, it is known, has been fixed , for the 24th of next month, but I have good reason to believe that the case will never be ' brought to trial. The attorneys for the de- 1 fence, Messrs. Merrick and Black, are prepor- 1 ed br Surratt's trial at any time, and they | hi.ve full confidence in their power to sustain j the action of the majority of the jury at the ( first trial, when they were disposed to acquit _ the prisoner." -The last number of the Nation is out in op? position to the bill creating the entire South ' into one military district, with Grant in ex- f elusive control, and thinks the party had bet- * ter let it alone. It was only intended, the < Nation says, as "an answer to Hancock's per- ? fbrmancea in Louisiana," and its introduction , is calculated to "unsettle the public mind, ( both at the North and South, and weaken con? fidence in Congressional leaders." -Mrs. Mary Harty has recovered $2700 ' damages from the Central Railroad Company ' of New Jersey, for the loss of her husband, who c was run over and killed on that road in No vern- < ber last, near Bergen. The amount of 1 damages claimed was $5000. The suit was , tried in the 8upremo Court, Circuit, Brooklyn. . It was claimed by the plaintiff that tho part of the track on which the deceased was wolkitig ' was need as a public thoroughfare, and that ' the accident resulted from the negligence of ] the servants of the company. The defendants | alleged that the road was the private property of the company, and that tho deceased, being a trespasser, was responsible for what might happen to him. 1 -A delegation from the telegraphic opera- 1 tors of several cities attended tho electric ball i at the New York Assembly Rooms on Friday night. Artificial light, of wonderful brilliancy, made by a battery of great size and power, identical in principle and construction to those used by telegraph companies, but much larger in size, astonished the participators by its magnificent corruscations and showers of burning metals. The most amusing feature of the entertainment was the way in which the dances were announced. A largo sounder, almost ten times the size and power of the naval- instrument used in every telegraph office, was placed in connection with tho above-mentioned battery, by which the pro gnunme was rapped ont to the telegraph fra? ternity in a language mysterious to all others, but quite intelligible to them. -The bunding of the iron bridge over tho Great Miami, on the Ohio and Mississippi rail? road, is considered a rapH feat in railroad con * struction. This structure required the driving of three thousand piles, the laying of 6200 cubio yards Of masonry, tho dredging of four difficult foundations in a quicksand, and the construc? tion and erection of 630 feet of iron bridge, in three spans, and weighing 1,100,000 pounds. The first train crossed on the 15th of December last-just 120 days from the time the first pile waa driven, and nine days and four hours from the time the last stone was put in place. The work was carried on night and day, aud tele? graphic communication kept up throughout the whole of the basin drained by the Miami, so that all storms were prepared for hours be? fore they or their effects reached the bridge site. -A Paris journal thus describes tho gene? ral situation of Europe: "France, Austria and Prussia appear equally to desire the mainte? nance of peace, and are determined to employ their influence respectively in setting aside complications which aro moro or less menac? ing. The inchnations of Prussia in this direc? tion do not appear doubtful. Hence the atti? tude of those throe powers towards Italy can only tend to pacification. As respects the Eastern question, Russia, it is still believed will not, in spite of her very significant pro? ceedings, immediately bring it to an issue. Be? sides, the present moment has boen chosen by the Western Courts to urge npon tho Porto those internal reforms which would give satis? faction to the Christian population of the em? pire, ?nd thus deprive the Cabinet of St. Pe? tersburg of ?ts most specious pretexts for in? tervening in the affairs of Turkey." -"Mack," of the Cincinnati Commercial, writes that Morrissey LIB won golden opinions for quiet and unobtrusive demeanor and ur? banity of disposition sinco his ac:ession to the House. It is thu3 he relatos tho story ot his fight with Heenan: "Golly, how I did tremble when I was coming to tho scratch that time. Heenan was too big for mc, and that morning I'd Lavo givcu a good doal to pei out of tl io scrape. Still, I made up my mind that as I had put all my money-every cent I bad into the thiug I was goinc; in, and thon, thought I, I'll be d-d if I dm't whip him too. When " looked at Heenan, stripped for the fight, thought I'd bo whipped sure-then again made up my mind to make him work for it. eyed him all over as he sat in his'corner. Good gracious, says I to myself, I can't do nothing with that fellow; but then again, I thought I must. Well, wo came up lo the first round. Whewl I remember how he did plug rae. I tell you what it is, gentlemen, I don't want to brag of my own pluck, for it would be no uso now that I am out of the ring, but if I hadn't been pretty good game, I'd have caved in on that first round. After a long tussle we fell, and I was mightdyglad of it. It was while we were down this time that I made up ray mind I was going to whip lrim. Heenan tried lo choke- mo while we were on the ground. He got his hand on my throat thiB wa} (suiting the action to thc word). When I felt him do that, thinks I to myself, 'sonny, Tve got you now. I thought that a man who'd do that was a cow? ard, and from that timo to the enc't of the fiyht I feit sure of whipping him, and ? woold have whipped him, just as I did, if the fight hud lasted just twice as long as it did. If Heenan had pluck equal to his Btrcngth, al. hell couldn't whip him; bnt he hain't, and it's no work at all to whip him, if you can only stand under him for the first few minutes." CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 29, 11368. To the Reson? t The political reaction has f lirly set in. The Republican press clamors against the Republican leaders. Financial distress has at last made the North suspicions of party innovations. Not less hostilo to liberty than was Mr. SEWARD'S talisman, "the little bell," to which the clank.ng chains of | so many Bastilea responded, are to-day the sounding brass and tinkling cymbals of j Congress. Now it has become apparent that the measures that oppressed a portion of the country, injured all. The cruel cur? few that quenched the light of hope and pride, the household fires of conquered millions, was ringing the funeral knell of j their conquerors too. We are now appreciating thc wisdom of j those statesmen, who, like JOHN ADAMS, prepared themselves for the framing of a new government by a careful study of all the political systems of antiquity; who so clearly foresaw that the great danger in a republic was that the executive power, "even with a negative," to quote Mr. ADAMS' strong language, "would not be able to defend itself, but would be loon invaded, undermined, attacked, or, in some way or other, totally ruined and annihilated by the legislative " We now jee, more clearly than ever, thnt there must be checks in government-th? Judiciary, .he Executive, the Legislature-each hav? ing its own sphere, a nd all exercising an ?qual and co-ordinate power; that there nust be checks in the legislative or iggressive power, by its permanent divi lion into two houses, of which the one ?hall represent the people, the other tho States; and, finally, that these must be a ?heck upon the national government itself n thc maintenance of the equil Senatorial *epresentation and the reserved rights of J he States. As Mr. ADAMS snys, in rofer .ing to the old Confederation, "the States in heir separate capacities are the checks." Such is also their prerogative under the :onsti(ution. They are even fae guarantees >f all other checks, and when once their cgitimote sovereignly is repudiated, all >ther checks will be swept away. Such is he lesson which Congress is cow teaching he American people. Flushed by its con? quest of States, it is now usurping the power of cvory other department of the government. There is, therefore, no safely for us un? less the primary check is restored. There is no escape from despotism if the local ad? ministration shall be surrendered to the ?ingle central power which has seized upon it, and now conducts it by force of arms. In asserting its pretensions to bo the guardian of social order Congress has dis? organized society. In wresting the local sovereignty from the people to whom it con? stitutionally belongs, it created the ne? cessity for the appointment of proconsuls and the maintenance of standing armies. In suspending tho functions of tho Ameri? can citizeu, it has impaired the value and abased the dignity of (hat once hon? ored name. The time has come when the perversion of republicanism can no longer be regarded with indifference; for it mani? festly involves ruin to every seotion and to every interest of this broad land. . Among us, the effects o:' this congres? sional interference are terrible. We see society in disorder. We sen moral charac? ter depreciated. We see ind jBtry destroyed, and that not as in other regions, by oppres? sive taxes only, but by political strikos and caste favoritism, and even connivance at crime. Conscience is commonly perjured in oaths of office. Such oaths are taken as forms without moral obligation. Public spirit is extinguished. Public opinion im? poses no restraints. The best interests of | society are committed to incompetent or dishonest and perjured mer.. With few ex? ceptions there is no moral principle in pub? lic stations-not ballast of character enough to steady a village canoe, much lees the ship of State. If the rogues cf the country were divided into ten parts, it is scarcely an exaggeration to say ttat nine of them would consist of officials. We may at any time sec a convention-once the most august of American assemblies-adjourn to com? mit murder, aud reassemble to vindicate the deed. When the usher's rod appears we look for the bayonet. When the mild "Con? servative*' hus gained his end, and can speak his mind with impunity, we expect to hear the threats and oaths of the swash? buckler. The legislator w oos Liberty with impassioned accents and on tstretched hands, and then strikes at her with clenched fists. The speaker inaugurates order with thc gavel and disorder with the horse-whip. The time is ripo for change ! The con? stitution must be restored, for anarchy and ruin are upon us. Powerless ourselves, we call upon our allied Commonwealths to re? deem the republic and to save its liberties from destruction. Miss Mnhlbach's Books. NAPOLEON AND BLUCHER. An Historical Novel. By L. Muhlbacli, Author of Joseph II. and his Court, Frederick the Great and his Fam? ily, &c, &c. Translated from the German by F. Jordan. Completo in one volume, with illustrations. New York : Appleton & Co., 443 and 445 Broadway. Charleston: John Russell. JOSEPH IL, FREDERICK the Great and other historical novels by L. MUHLBACH are well known, and have been widely read; but NAPOLEON and BLUCHER is more spirited and dashing ia its character than any of the other works of the same author which have already been publishod in this coun? try. The scene is laid ia Germany and France at the period commencing with the Russian campaiga and ending with the ab? dication of NAPOLEON; aud the interest centres in the stirring details of the enthu? siastic struggle for Prussian freedom, kaown ns the "War of Liberation," in which the names of old Marshal "FORWARTS," King FREDERICK WILLIAM, SCHARNHORST and GUEISENAL ber ; .ne familiar as "household words," and dear as liberty itself, to the hearts of the German people. NAPOLEON, MARIE LOUISE, the Due dc REICHSTADT, the Emperors ALEXANDER and FRANCIS flit across the page. Each character is instinct with life and animation; each scene is vividly and forcibly described. The author of NAPOLEON and BLUCHER has proved two things : That her skill is equal to the description of the riot and tu? mult of battles and marches, as well as to the diplomacy aud intrigues of Courts; that, if the subject Le well chosen, it is practi? cable to write a novel whose truth shall be stranger far than fiction, but which shall not contain one word of insipid love, dawd? ling affection, or obliquitous morality. The book is neatly bound, clearly prinled, and well illustrated. <b Hnt. rK iv i, THK HOUSE SOUTHS AST corner of Trapman and Queen streets, contain? ing four square rooms, largo attic and dre-thing rooms, with cistern, and gas through the house.

A Pure, Unmixed, Natural Guano, as Fine as Flo ar (although not Ground), just In the Condition In which lt ls Imported from the Island. THIS GUANO IS FROM A RECENTLY DIS? COVERED deposit on Redunda Island, in tbs Carribean Sea. W*?t Indio, latitude 16 degrees 66 minutes north, longitude 62 degrees 23 minutes west. It bas been used for many years in the West India Islands in thc cultivation of Sugar Cane and cereals with great success; was introduced for the first time to tho farmers and planters of thc United States in the spring of ISC'!, and bas met wi. h unprecedented success, as the subjoined reports and testimonials ful? ly corroborate. The RODUNDA GUANO is not a mineral 'phos? phate, requiring the action of the Sulphuric Acid to render it soluble; its great power os a fertilizer ls in its entire solubility, without tho aid of acid. It is not a "msuipula.ion" or Compound of >. ish or Flesh with Mineral Phosphates, the regularity of which is always ur.ctrtain and dependent upon, and controll? ed by tho honesty ol the manufacturer. The RO? DUNDA ia a PUKE NATURAL GUANO (that term being understood tornean the excrcmont,offish-eat? ing birds), as the largo per centage of organic mat? ter sufficiently attests, andas found upon the Island of Rodunda, in tue very state as imported and sold to consumers. The regularity and uniformity of the fineness and condition of the various cargoes already imported by ns into the United States, tested by Ute analysis of the most eminent Chemists of this country and Eu? rope, is sufficient proof of its origin and a guarantee of our ability to turnish this Guano of tho quality and purity represented. Tho PKICE of Uio RODUNDA GUANO is not the least, unimportant in these days of agricultural com? petition and pecuniary embarrassment. Tho very low price at which it can be sold places it within tho reach ot every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops in tbe purchase of high priced i'crtiiizera. t Lu the prepared on of lands for Wheat and other cereals this Gurno possesses properties that render ic moro desirable lor these crops than any yet offered to thc public. Pamphlets containing ibe analj'sis and experi? ments nmdc by the n oat prominent Chemists of this couutry and in Euro. . together with innumerable, certificates of its entire success from tanners and planters, can bo obtained at our Office, to wnich wo luv'tc attention Price $40 per lon, in bags or barrels, in Charles? ton.
