It was purchased at tho Paris exhibition, and another of the same de? scription was purchased for the Empress of Austria. -In New York arrangements have been made to test the relative merits of the Stafford and Nicholson pavements, by laying them side by side on a street heavily travelled, so that while both can bo submitted to a thorough test, each will be subjected to equal woar and tear. -The white population of Memphis is be? tween 45,000 and 50,000. There are also about 15,000 negroes. These negroes gave 4200 votes at the late municipal election, for their ticket. There are 7000 white voters in the city, but 4500 of them are disfranchised, and they only polled 2400 votes. - In Baltimore, a new trans-Atlantic steam line has been established, connecting that city with Bremen. The first steamer of the line, the "Baltimore," is now daily expected to arrive, and the maronan ts of that city intend to welcome her by a grand procession and other rejoicings. -Limburger cheese has been decided to be a nuisance in Pittsburg, and a grocer fined for keeping it in his cellar. Complaint was made by citizens of the neighborhood of the stench that arose from the cheese. The grocer, who was fined twenty dollars and costs, has appeal? ed to a higher court. -A gentleman who had bees a jujtice of the peace for thirty-five years, wae not allowed to register in the State of "Weat Virginia** be? cause he purchased a horse named Stonewall Jackson; the registrar remarking "that he'd be d-d if any 'trooly loll' ??an would own a horse by that name." -The United States Supreme Court on Mon? da? granted the motion of the State of Geor? gia for leave to file a bill of complaint against General U.

Such an event has not been known for many years. Thousands are piled along the frozen beach. -A royal commission has beeu appointed in England to consider the subject of a uniform system of coinage, in furtherance of the plan suggested at the recent international monetary conference in Paris. The chairman of the commission is Viscount Halifax, better known as Sir Charles Wood, Chancellor of the Ex? chequer in 1852. -Official reports from the West Indies to Secretary Seward show that from January 31st to February 4th there was fifteen coses and seven deaths in St. Thomas by cholera. There were twelve cases and eleven deaths in the country. The cholera broke out December 21st last, and has camed away one hundred and sixty-seven out of two hundred and twen? ty cases thus far. -It was some time ago announced that in order to open the navigation of tho Hudson River it was proposod to blow the ice below Albany to pieces with torpedoes. The attempt was made, but has not resulted satisfactorily. A case containing seven pounds of powder was placed beneath the ice and exploded; but in? stead of blowing up an acre or more, it only cracked the ice for about ten feet square im? mediately over it. -To go to kw is a costly proceeding in Mis? souri. Two citizens of that State quarrelled about the ownership of a colt, and went to law. Fifteen witnesses on each side swore positively as to tho ownership. The judge being rather doubtful how to decide, hit upon a wise expe? dient, and ordered that the colt be sold to pay the coats of court. It brought forty dollars; the costs amounted to thirty-eight, and tho re? maining two dollars were divided equally bs tween the parties. -The political auguries of the New Hamp? shire election do not seem, now that the pre? cise results have been ascertained, to be quite so favorable to the Radic?is as was at first as? sumed. They have not even held their own, having had their tnia.ll majority in a small State cut down ono thousand. This Radical loss is interpreted by the oracles of that party to mean the sanctiou of the American people to their wildest usurpations of power, and to warrant the immediate decapitation of the President. -Professor Agassiz, at a meeting recently held in Boston to promote the propagation of fish, made an interesting address on that sub? ject. He claimed that it was one the impor? tance of which could not be overrated, and at th the raising of artificial fish wa* no play thins. It was a matter of importance to tho coming generations, and one which should oc? cupy the attention of our statesmen, for it in? volves tho prosperity of the community to an oxtont which ia not dreamed of now, but which wi J be recocnized in years to come. He added that the timo will come when every man who has water on his ground will raise fish for his own table as he now raises fruit. -Several ot' tho fine vessels belonging to the New York Mail Steamship Company were sold a few days ago at the following prices : The Guiding Star was sold for $177,000 to William H. Webb, for his California line; the Morning Star, for $25,000, to C. E. Garrison; the Monte? rey, with coal cn board, for $62,000, to C. K. Garrison, and the Mariposa for $5C,000, to H. B. Cromwell. These were all fine steamers, and used only a few years, costin? as follows : Guiding Star, $50:),00?; Morning Star, $400,000; Monterey, $250,000, and the Mariposa $200,000. The Rising Star was sold over one yoar ago to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company for about $600,000, and the Merrimack and Mississippi for about $400,000 each, to C. K. Garrison. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 21, 1868. The Black Man's Prospecta. The colored people have been told again and again that they were merely serving as the tools of the Radical politicians, and that when they had raised to power a pack of needy demagogues they would be kicked back without ceremony into political obscu? rity. This, however, the colored people were loth to believe, because it was the pre? diction of the Southerner, whom they are now taught to regard as their enemy and antag? onist. Bat that which the colored people would not believe a few months ago they may believe now; and if any evidence is wanting to convince them of the truth, they will find it in such letters as that of M. R. Delany, published in these columns this morning. The colored people of South Carolina have the numerical superiority. As con? stituents they are more numerous than the whites, and as representatives in the late convention they were in the majority. In the convention it is undeniable that the colored delegates, as a body, surpassed their white colleagues in tact, ability and character, and with one or two exceptions, they represented more property. Wealth was without representation; but the colored men were the representatives of labor which is the source of all wealth. The white men were in a minority. They were men who represented neither capital nor labor; they represented nothing but them? selves. As the colored men had so large a pre? ponderance of weight and influence, it was expected that they would have had their full share of political place and privilege; and this would have been the case if the white Radicals had felt one particle of dis? interested regard for the negro race. But the whites in the convention-the faithful mouthpieces of their white masters in Washington-resolved to exclude their col? ored colleagues from every political post of consequence, and, so far, they have faith? fully adhered to their predetermined plan. No colored man ie to be sent to Congress; only one colored man is expected to hold a high position in the State government, and he may be pitched overboard before the week is ont. The colored men though far more acute and intelligent than the white Radicals, are told that they must be satis? fied with such petty places as those of con? stable, clerk and the like. The reauons for this policy arc such as are given in the letter already referred to. The American people generally, "are not ready" for black Congressmen, and if they never become ready that "will be the end of the whole matter." The colored men "must not presume by reason of numbers;" the plain English of all which is that the colored peop'e must be taught to hate their only friends,-that they must be used throughout the South to give the Radical party another lease of power,-that they must act in each State so as to put into office a shoal of rude, illiterate and unprin? cipled white Radical politicians,-that they must obey every call of their leaders and vote squarely as the chief mandarin de? crees, and that, in return for all this, they shall have little influence, little profit, little place, and no thanks. "The Eric Railroad War." The sensation of the day in New York, is a grand pitched battle between two Wall street magnates, and their adherents, for the control of a great and productive rail? way line between Now York and the great West. The battle of the Bulls and Bears have beea immortalized in story, and the annals ol' Wall-street abound in instances of well fought fields where the magnitude of the prize involved, and the skill and pluck displayed on both sides, including what the unlucky PHINEAS T. BARNCM euphouistically styled "business tact," but which plain peo? ple called "swindling," challenged public interest. But the glories of all these en? counters pale before the splendors of this new tournament. The chief combatants are CORNELIUS VANDERBILT, the steamship and railway king, and DANIEL DREW the Erie potentate. VANDERBILT, who owns, among other things, a controlling interest in the Cen? tral, the Hudson River, and Harlem roads, and is besides a large holder of Erie stock, is striving to obtain entire control of this latter road, to the end that he may monopo? lize the carrying of freight and passengers between the city of New York and all points west. Mr. DREW and his associates, on the other hand, have no idea of beiug gobbled up in off-hand style by the American Hudson, and have made stout resistance. DREW is a comparatively poor man, not worth, at the outside, more than eight or ten millions, while VANDERBILT'S fortune is not less than sixty millions. DREW has numerous wealthy associates however, and both sides are plentifully supplied with the sinews of war. The fight began in Wall-street, by the usual series of bull and bear operationsf but, as the skill, experience and pluck were about equal on both sides, no material ad? vantage was gained by either party. Re? course wus then had to the courts, and bills and cross bills, injunctions and counter ia junctions, orders of nrrcst; indictments, at? tachments, and all the projectiles of the legal arsenals, flew thick as hail. But in the thick of the fight, and while all the world was looking wonderingly on, General DRBW suddenly evacuated his position and retreated across the Hudson River to Jersey cit j. Ile carried his baggage and ammu? nition safely off; that is to say, the books of J the Erie Company and about eight millions in capital, and, with the officers of the com? pany and others of his adherents, is strong? ly entrenched at the company's offices on the long dock. As the courts of New York can exercise no jurisdiction in New Jersey, DREW bids defiance to the injunctions is? sued against him, and remains master of the situation. It is alleged that attempts have been made by the VANDERBILT party to kidnap him and bring him over the river by force, and his camp has, in consequence, been elaborately fortified. Two twelve pounders, heavily loaded with grape and canister, command the main approaches to the building; a strong skirmish line holds the advance, and a powerful reserve garrisons the offices themselves. In addition to this, boats, filled with armed men, patrol the river night and day, relieving each other every two hours, and a force of detectives is kept at the New York end of the differ? ent ferry houses. DB?W'S position is con? sidered impregnable, and with eight mil? lions in cash at his command, to say noth? ing of other resources,, it is scarcely likely he can be starved out. The business cf the road goes on as usual, but the stockholders get no dividends, and are compelled to sit quietly and watch the fluctuations of their stock, as it bobs up and down like a cork floating in troubled waters. It is a grand and impressive moral spec? tacle, rivalling, in its way, the Black Crook, or the anniversary isms; and is calculated to inspire, in thoughtful observers, new ideas of the beauty of stock-jobbing, and a profound admiration of the American sys? tem of railway management. The Duty of White filen. The Wilmington Journal says with force and justice: "The time has now come when good men must not and cannot afford to sacrifice the right to vote to a natural and commendable repugnance to mingle in the motley and disreputable concourse around the polls. The vote of every decent man is now of the utmost importance, and a fail? ure to use the franchise now may result in inability to do so in the future. See to it, that nene entitled to register fail to do so. A white man who voluntarily disfranchises himself in this crisis, is an enemy to his race." ?oJBcnt.

PHATE OF LIME. rr\HE PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE GIVEN BELOW I of planters during the past season, folly establish all the advantages claimed for this well-known FER 1ILIZEB: Received the highest'premium awarded to FerrU ize? by the American Institute of New York, held October, 1867. For full report, with analysis made by the Com? mittee of the Institute, composed of Dr. c. H. Buen, Professor J. G. POULE, and other prominent Chem. is ts, see pamphlets. The distinguished feature of thia SUPER-PHOS? PHATE from other similar Fertilizers is, that ail ot itt ingredient! are of animal origin, and art either seluble in water, or m a condition to quickly become soluble in the BOO and be taken np by the crop. Contains no inert or mineral materials. The proper relative proportion of the Ingredients in MAPEa' SUPER-PHOSPHATE to meet there* qulroments of the Cotton crop on Georgia and South Caroilna solle, ls fully proved by the experience of planters who testified that wherever applied, even to land noted for rutting cotton, the disease la entirely corrected, and a healthy, vigorous growth produced. On the same land Peruvian Guano and other fertil? izers have failed to secure a healthy growth. REPORTS FROM PLANTERS, 1867. .. For Letters in full set Descriptive Pamphlet. Dr. E. M. ROYALL, Christ Church Parish, writes: Applied at the rate of 160 to 300 pounds per sere on 11th April, on 33 acres blue clay land, a good deal worn from being planted la cotton from 1867 to 1867, with only one year's rest during that time, and not? withstanding the long continued cold and heavy ram. and gales during the spring and gum mer, about the first of September the crop cn thia field waa estima? ted by some of our best judges to promise a yield of 180 to 200 pounds fine Set. Island Cotton Lint to the acre. Notwithstanding tbe ravages of the caterpillar, the first cotton rocked was from the field on which MAPES' PHOSPHATE waa used, and it has made about 36 pounds to the sore, while no other man? ured land made over is pounds. Has usel MAPEd' PHOSPHATE on melons, potatoes and the garden with satisfactory results. THOMAS 8. SALTES, Washington County, Ga.,re Sirts that seventy-five pounds per ?ere OB old land creased both the Cotton and the Corn, three-fold. , considers it far more economical than Peruvian Guana Dr. E. P ABS ass, Sandersviue, Washington County Gs?, says: _ "My observation is that MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE is a preventive against rust in Cotton. Has about doubled the Cotton and trebled the Corn, idas done better than Peruvian Guano per pound." J. W. SCOTT, of same section, reporta: .?That his crop manured with Peruvian Guano was far more effected by drought and excessive raino than where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used. Shall use MAPES' in preference to any fertilizer ha has seen used by his neighbors." W. H. SFABKB, Eatonton, Ga., reports: "On land about half covered with sedge, and which had not been cultivated in two years, when the manure was put cn, badly manured, crop would yield two pounds where the unmanured would yield one." B. B. HAMILTON, Americns, Ga., reports: "Obtained the most satisfactory results from MAPES' SUPER-PHOsPHATE, applying it as a top dressing. Considered to have had the best garden this year in Scu?ywestern Geor^a." W. J. ANDEBSON, Fort Valley,Ga., reports: "MAPES* SUPER-PHOSPHATE has doubled the crop ot cotton In every ease reported, and some re? port it has more than doublrd their crop. On wheat, and oats tho results are very satisfactory." D. A. WABNOCK. Beach Branch, S. C., reports: "On land which always rusted cotton, increased the crop twofold; as fine cotton ss he has seen this year. Prevented rust Four rows unmanured rust? ed in August. Everything the MAPES' bUPER PHOSPHATE waa tried on did well. Cotton stool the cold weather in Spring; kept perfectly green, and growed finely; has beat Ptruvian Guano in bis neighborhood. Believes :t to be the BEST Manure now in use." E. B. LILES, Lilesvillo, Anfon County, N. C., re ^"As compared with Peruvian Guano andBangh's Super-Phosphate, the result was decidedly in favor of MAPES' sUPHER-PHOSPHATE; attributed, be? yond doubt, to the fact that the ravages of the rust were not, hy a marked difference, so severe where it was applied as where the other manures were." JAMES MC MEEDS, Alston, S. C., reports: "Used a ton of Peruvian, and found the result but one half as compared with those from MAPER' SUPER-PH OSPHATE. Soil mostly sandy, with clay subsou. Marked difference m the size of the bolls, in favor of MAPES'SUPER-PHOSPHATE On Cot? ton plants the increased growth was about 100 per cent." JOHN R. HA rn, Mirna, S. C. : "Cotton was more vigorous and healthy, and ma? tured at least two week? earlier where MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE was used as compared with other Fertilizers applied. MAPES' bUPEB-PHOd PHATE produced luO pounds per acre more Cotton than Rhodes' Supcr-Pbosphate, and 60 pounds per acre more than Solublo Pacific Guano. Same quan? tity of each 150 pounds, used to the acre, cultivated in the same manner. MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE more than doubled the yield of Cotton." R. ?j. VENNTNO, Christ Church Pariah, S. C., poi ts: "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 year before. Considers MAPES' SUPER-PHOS? PHATE the best Fertilizer for SEA ISLAND COT? TON, and would safely recommend it to all plant? ers." , 8. C. MEANS, 8partanburg, S. C., writes: "Used 240 pounds per acre, applied May 18th. Can safely cay never saw a more vigorous growth impart . ed to cotton from the use of any manure, bathmed the use of MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE pays hand? somely." Rev. W. A. MEBBIWETHEB, Valle Cruds, near Co? lumbia, S. C., reports: MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE hss given perfect satisfaction, and that it permanently improves the soil Has no nee ita tien in Baying lt ia the special manure for the turnip and Irish potato." P. C. PENDLETON, Valdoston,Ga., writes: "MAPES' SUPER-PHOSPHATE has exceeded my most sanguine expectations. The effects of its use on Corn, Pet's and Garden Vegetables was most marked. If it can be always kept up to the stan? dard lt must take the preference of all fertilizers in use." M. B. H?NTEB, Qui tm an. Ga., reports: "Applied at the rate of 160 pounds per acre upon overy alternate four rows. The result was truly as? tonishing. The manured rows yielded fully double the neighboring alternate rows."
