THAT STBTEE.-The colored strikers are like to find that they have struck in the wrong di' rection, and that a blow for higher pay may blow them permanently out of work. At At? lantic wharf there lies the ship Missouri tak? ing in cargo for Boston. This vessel will carry about twenty-eight hundred compressed bales of cotton, and would have b?en a handsome penny in the pockets of the freedmen. But the freedmen struck, and, as there wat no chance of their speedily coming to reason, measures wore promptly lakeu to fill the vacant chairs at the industrial board. A large force of white stevedores waa gathered together; and on yesterday tho work on the Missouri was dono exclusively by white men. They did a handsome day's work, and are well satined that "it is an ill wind which blows nobody good." CO-OPERATION-How rr WOBES.-We are glad to hear that the first co-operative store is a fixed fact, and the association is now nego? tiating for a suitable building. A member of the "Civil Service" Co-operative Society in London writes of his experience thus: "But 1 already see enough of ita working to convince me that I shall this year effect a saving by it which will enable me to give my whole family a summer's run in Switzerland, instead of stinting them to an economical change ot air at Herne Bay, Southend, or at the best, Rams gate or Broadstairs. Upon my butcher's and grocer's bills I save quite twenty-five per cent.; and as to the quality of the goods supplied, our cook assur?e my wife (and my own expe? rience confirms her verdict) that 'the mutton and beef is as fine meat as ever one put a knife into;' while my wife protests to me that out of the first six pounds ehe laid out at 'the store' in groceries she netted a profit which will put her in possession of 'as pretty a bonnet for next Sunday as over I set eyes on.' " A WELL-DESERVED COMPLIMENT TO A CHARLES? TON MECHANIC.-The following letter, which was addressed yesterday to our townsman, Mr. Jno. F. Taylor, the energetic proprietor of the Phoenix Iron Works, ia a gratifying evidence of the high esteem in which Charleston workman? ship is held by thoso who have occasion to compare it with the same class of work exe outed in other cities : STEAMSHIP CHARLES W. LORD, / CHARLESTON, S. C., February 26,1868. j Hr. John F. Taylor, Phoenix Iron Works: DEAR SIB : As I am about to sail from this port for New York, I take this method of ex? pressing to you the great satisfaction you have given me in repairing my ship. I arrived here on the 4th instant, with loss of rudder, rudder post and shoe, all of which were iron, and the energy, workmanship and perseverance you have diaplayod in making and replacing them under difficult circumstances are, I think, de serving of great credit. Working day and nighi, driving and riveting bolts, as it were, under the water, by the fight of lantorns-this work completod by you is, I think, stronger than before. For all this please accept my high regard of you personally, &c. Very truly yours, GEORGE W. WARD, Captain. DEATH OF AN UNITED STATES OFFICES-THE FUNERAL PROCESSION AND SEBYIOES.-The flag at the Citadel was at half mast yesterday in consequence of the sudden death of Major Jno. McCloary, caused by hemorrhage of tho lungs. Major McCleary was Captain of the sixth United States Lnfantry, and received tho brevet rank of Major for gallantry on the field at Get tysburg. He bore a high reputation as an ex? cellent officer and courteous gentleman, and tho officers on duty in this city joined in tho funeral services with the sadness of men who had lost a valued ccmrade and friend. Tho funeral procession was formed at tho Citadel, aud as it wound through the streets it awakened keen memories of gallant soldiers who had fallen and died with no other dirge than the boom of the cannon and tho shriek? ing of t hell. In front was the baud playing a funeral march, the drums being muffled with crape. Following the band were three companies of the Sixth Infantry, marching by platoon, with arms reversed. Then came the hearse, in which lay the coffin, covered by the United States flag. In the rear of the hearse was a party of soldiers without arms, and behind them were the field and staff officors on duty at thia post, aud Major-General Canby, tho District Commander. When the procession reached Grace Church, Wentworth-stroet, guards were placed on tho sidewalks, and no carriages or heavy vehicles were allowed to pans in front of tho church. The street cars were permitted to pass at a walk, but traffic wai; virtually suspended whilo the services wore being performed. The solemn and beautiful service for the dead, prescribed b}- the Anglican Liturgy, waB read by tho Roctor, Rev. C. C. Pinckney, and many persons ainor.g the audience wore visibly affected. When the services were over the procession v>as re-formed and then returned to the Citadel, where the remains of the deceased officer will lay m state until this afternoon, when they will, with an appropriate e scort, bo sent to bia home in Ohio. Major McCleary was a graduate of the class of 1854, waa commissioned second lieutenant in 1855, first lieutenant in 1860, and captain in May 7,1861. After tho battle or Gettysburg he was brevetted major. He served for a long time on the frontier, and during tho war serv? ed with the Anny of the Potomac. The order issued by General Canby upon the occasion of bis death, alludes gracefully to his high sol? dierly qualities, and orders that all officers in the conrmand shall wear mourning for thirty davs on their swords and left arms. I DEATH OF AN OLD RESIDENT OF COLOMB Alderman John 8tork, a resident ol Columl for thirty years, died on Tuesday in his nf fifth year. His trade was that of a boot m ak and he was an honest, energetic and hu working man. A PBOSPEBOUS INBUBANCE COMPANY.-) have received from the general agent, 1 Thomas Frost, a copy of the thirty-third s nual report of the New York Life Insurarj Company, from which it appears that, afl paying in casb during tho year 1867 $381,958. for dividends and $561,921.45 for losses acer ing from death among its members, the coi pany bas added more than two millions of d< lars to its accumulated assets, and han i maining, over and above the amount requisi to reinsure all its policies and pay all its li bilitios, tho sum of $1,642,425.59. This l&rj amount is altogether the property of thc po! cy-bolders, to be divided among them in tl form of dividends, or remain and accumula as an additional provision for their wives ar children. READINGS FOB THE BENEFIT OF THE POO3. Mr. David Macrae, a distinguished Scottie author and fine elocutionist, we learn, is e: pectcd to visit our city in a few days. He travelling through the South to see for himse the true condition of affairs, social and polit cal; to collect facts relative to the late wai and the causes tbat led ts it; and also to prc cure information with a view of imparting ii on hie return to Scotland, to such of his coni try men as may intend emigrating to the Unite States. Lu a private letter to a gentleman i this city, Mr. Macrae says: "I have several lei ters from Charleston requesting me to giv there some of the 'Illustrations of Scottisl Life and Character,' which I gave from rn; published works in Wilmington, N. C. Shouli I give such lectures, I should like, as at Wil mington and Raleigh, that the proceeds ehe ult lc applied for the benefit of the destitute The indications of poverty and positive suffer ing from want which I see everywhere, evei muong those who were in affluent circum ?tances before the war, fill my heart with sor row. But I hope a brighter day will dawi soon." Mi*. Macrae is the author of several popula] works, of which "George Harrington," "Dun' varlich," "Leap Year Wooing," "Diogene? Among the D. D.'s," are perhaps the liesl known. The Petersburg (Ya.) Index says "A general desiie is expressed among those who heard him, and among many who were not so fortunate, that Mr. David Macrae be in luced, if possible, to repeat his delightful en? tertainment of Wednesday night. We under? stand the gentleman goes hence to Norfolk, but that he will return to Petersburg bel ore leaving tho State. If such is the case we hope some effort will be made to get him to favor tho public with another reading. Mr. Macrae is one of the finest person?lo) s, we may Bay ic'.ors, we ever saw. His entertainments are readings in name, but they are really life-like personations." THE MEAS ?BE AND KIND OF RELIEF FOB PLAN CEES AND OTHERS.-The following circular from 3eneral Scott, will open the eyes of those who lave been expecting to put theil hands in their >wn pockets and Uncle Sam's meid bags, at one ind the same time. Relief will only be given o a limited extent, and only where there is .ood security that the advances made, will be ?epaid promptly. Food for animals will not be 'urnished, and provisions will not be given to )lanters, who are working under such contracts is preclude any other result than another step uto thc mud, and an in ojease of their load of ndobtedness. General Scott tells the freed leople that if they can't get what they want, hey must take what they can got; which leans that they cannot bo fed for nothing, but an get work for something. The government id is only intended to help those who would lave a bare possibility of making both ends neet without it, and when the National Uncle ets up as a lender of moneys, it is not to bo vondcred at that be is looking closely after the county of his bond. IEADQUABTERS, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER, 1 BUREAU REFUGEES, FREEDMEN AND ABAN? DONED LANDS, \ DISTRICT OF SOOTH CABOLTNA, CHARLESTON, S. C., February 27,1868. J [Circular Leiter.] The Assistant Commissioner ie compelled to all the attention of the people of this District 0 the great increase within tho past few days n the number of applicants tor government ssistance, and to thus publicly announce that t will be impossible for him, with the limited applies at bis command, to assist more than 1 fraction of those who aro now applying. ?.'carly one-half ot the amount at his disposal las been already oxpended and but a limited iroportion of tho applications received have icen actod upon. lu futuro, all applications for assistance .viii ie referred to the r"* ar or agent of the bu eau residing nearest to the applicant, with in? ductions to investigate fully bis or her con lition, and, upon tbe report made, the Assis ant Commissioner will act. Applications should therefore, to save time, ie mad} direct to the nearest bureau officjrf vho wili forward them to these headquarters, vith such expression of approval or disap irovul as he muy see fit to make. Tho applicant should state in each case the lame and situation of his plantation, and the tcarost railroad station or steamboat landing; ho fact that the plantation ts fully organized, .ho number of adults and children (those over burteen years of ago being considered adults) br whom provisions are desired, and tho num? ber of acres to be cultivatod, in cotton, corn.or itber products. In no case will food fer ani? ??is bo furnished. To the frcedpeople throughout the district he Assistant Commissioner desires to say that bo determination now so prevalent in many ocalities not to contract, except upon terms vhich, while they assure nothing to the labor? er, are so disadvantageous to the planter as to ;recludo tho possibility of any agreement icing made, is most unfortunate, and can bo iroductivo of nothing but disastrous results. !f such people are under the impression that bey will be fed by thiB Bureau, tho Assiftont Commissioner desires to undeceive them with tut delay. No loan of provisions, will, under my circumstances, bc made to those who are ilanting under contracts of such a nature that t is evident they will not only not make auffi :ient supplies to live upon another year, bat viii, with difficulty, be able to raiee sufficient o repay advances made them this year. Many people entertain the idea tba; all that s necessary to enable them to ootain rations is o have possession of a piece of land. Such is lot tho case. Thc Assistant Commissioner nu st be satisfied that the land is of such a juality, and that the applicant is planting it inder such conditions that ho will bc able to iroduco from it sufficiont noi- only to repay his idvances, but to supply himself and family mother year. Furthermore, no issuee of ra ions for planting purposes will bu made to ln lividuals, but only upon organized plantations rilli a responsible head, either white or color id, whose experience and character ?B such hat the Assistant Commissioner can have no loubt but that bis obligation to the govern nent will be fulfilled to the letter.

MAPES' NITROGENIZED SUPER-PHOS PH?TE OF LIME. rpi :E PBACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW X :* planters during tho past season, fully establish all tl? advantages claimed for this well-inown FER T IL] ZEB: Bl reived the highest premium awarded to Fertil? izer* by the American Institute of New York, held Octo Der, 1887. Fer foll report, with analysis made by the Com mitt? of the Institute, composed of Dr. C. E. BUCK, Prof (asor J. G. POHLE, and other prominent Chem? ists, (iee pamphlets. Tl e distinguished feature of this SUPEE-PHOS PHA TE from other similar Fertilizers is, that all of its ingredient are of animai origin, and are either tolul lt in water, or in a condition to quickly become solid lt in tho soU and be taken up by the crop. Contains no inert or mineral materials. Tho proper relative proportion of the ingredients in MAPES' 81PEB-PHOSPHATE to meet lhe re? quirements of the Cotton crop on Georgia and South Caro ina soils, is folly proved by the experience of plan ure who testified that wherever applied, even to land noted for rutting cotton, the disease is entirely corr : .-ted, and a healthy, vigorous grow tri produced. Ont be same land Peruvian Guano and other fertil? ize ri have failed to secure a healthy growth. REPORTS FROM PLANTERS, 1867. For Letter? in full tee Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Apf died at the rate of 160 to 2P0 poundeper acre on 11th /.prU, on 22 acres blue clay land, a good dea wort from being planted in cotton from 1867 to 18671 witn Only Ono year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy rain, and [iles during the spring and summer, about the first cf September the crop on this field was estima? ted by some of our best judges to promise a yield of 180 to 200 pounds line Sea Island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding the ravages of the caterpillar, the Urst cotton picked was from the field on which MAI JCS' PHOSPHATE was used, and it has made about 66pounds to the sere, while no other man? ured land made over 46 pounds. Has' used MAPEs' PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with ? atisfactory results. TE OMAB s. SALTES, Washington County, Ga?, re? pon* that seventy-five pounds per acre on old land inert used both the Cotton and tho Corn three-fold. Confiders lt far more economical than Peruvian Guano. Di. E. PASSONS, Sanderavule, Washington County Ga., tats: "1 ly observation is that MAPES" SUPEB-PHOS PH.4'IE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has i bout doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn, b as . ono better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. ' V. SCOTT, of same section, reporta: "1 '.aat his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was far i: ore effected by drought acd excessive rains thar where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used, r-hall usu MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer he has leen used by his neighbors." W. H. SPABXS, La ten ton, Ga., reports: "da land about half covered with sedge, and whiifa had not been cultivated in two years, when the :>ianure was put on, badly manured, crop would yieli 1 two pounds where the unman axed would yid 1 one." . B. B. HAMILTON, Americus, Ga., reports: .'Obtained the most satisfactory results from MAI'ES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE, applying it aa a top dre? sing. Considered to have had the best garden this year in ScuthweBtern Georgia." W. J. ANDES SON, Fort Valley, Go., reports: "MAPES" SUfEB-PHOSPHATE has doubled the crop ot cotton in every case reported, and some re? port it has more than doubled their crop. On wheat and oats the results are veiy satisfactory." D. A. WABNOCK, Beach Branch, S. C., reports: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased the ' rep twofold; SB fine cotton as he has seen this year. Prevented rust Four rows unmanured rust? ed In August. F^erytiling the MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE was tried on did well. Cotton stool the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has beat Peruvian Guano in his neig iiborhood. Believes it to be the BEST Manure now in use." E. R. LILES, L?seville, Anson County, N. C., re? port i: "Ls compared with Peruvian Guano and Baugh's Supur-Phosphate, the result was decidedly in favor of li APES' hUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be s on 11 doubt, to the fact that the ravages of the rust wen i not, by a marked difference, so severe where it was applied as where the other manures were." Jiiizs MOMKBSTN, Alston, S. C., reports: "Used a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one half as compared with those from MAPES' SUT ER-PB OSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay subi oil. Marko J difference in tho size of the bolls, in f? vor of MAPER' SUPER-PHOSPHATE. On Cot? ton plants the Increased growth was about 100 per cent!" JOHN R. HATS, Mime, S. C. : "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma? ture 1 at least two weeks earlier where MAPES' SCIER-PHOSPHATE wu used as compared with other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' bUPEE-PHOS PH/.TE produced luu pounds per acre more Cotton thai: Rhodes' Super-Phosphate, and SO pounds per acre more than Soluble Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each. 160 pounds, used to the acre, cultivated in tl ie same manner. MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doubled tho yield of Cotton." R. H. VENNINo, Christ Church Parteo, S. C., re? polis: "One application, 200 pounds MAPES' SUPER? PHOSPHATE, per acre, made the cotton grow to the height of six feet, where it grew only two feet the yeai before. Considers MAPES' sUPER-PHOS PH/.TE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT TO? , and would safely recommend it to all plant? ers. " S. C. MEANS, Spartanburg, S. C., writes: "Used 210 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can sate y say never saw a mote vigorous growth impart cd to cotton from the use of any manure. Satisfied tho lse Of M APE.-.' .-UPER-PHOdPHATr. pays han 1 som sly," Ri iv. W. A. MESSIWETHEB, Valle Cruels, near Co? ram ala, S. C., reports: "MAPES" SUPER-PHOSPHATE has given perfect satii (action, and that it permanently improves the soil Hos no hesitation in saying lt is the special max ure for the turnip and Irish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston.Ga., writes: "JIAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use on Corn, Peas and Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can bo always kept up to the ?tan? dan I it must take the pi eic renee of all fertilizers in use." M. B. HUNTES, Quitman, Ga., reports: "Applied at the rate of 160 pounds per acre upon every alternate four rows. The result was truly as? tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double the neighboring alternate rows." TERMS-$65 A TON, CASH. TIME SALES CAN BE ARRANGED FOB, PAYABLE TN NOVEMBER. H. W. KINSMAN, SOL : AGENT EOS SOUTH GASOLINA.
