NEWS SUMMARY. -Gold at New York closed yesterday, "at S8 j. -The New York cotton market, was quiet and steady ; sales 1400 bales, at 244. -At Liverpool, cotton closed quiet and un? changed, sales 10,000 bales, Uplands 10?d. Manchester news was unfavorable. -The further postponement of the trial oif Jefferson Davin will be officially announced Within a day or two, from April 14th to May 4th. This change, it is stated, is rendered necessary by the fact that the new term of the court commences on May 4th, and the twenty days intervening between April 14th and May 4th is not considered sufficient time in which io try this case; hence the government has made a further postponement of the trial. -The consecration of Bishop Beckwith, the new Episoopal Bishop of Georgia, will occur oh Thursday, the 2d of April next. The Right Bev. Dr. Atkinson, Bishop of North Carolina, is to act as consecrator, assisted by the bish? ops of South Carolina and Alabama. The ser? mon is to be preached by the Bight Rev. Dr. Wilmer, Bishop of Alabama. Bishops of other dioceses are expected to be present, and large numbers of distinguished visitors from all sec? tions. The ceremonies will take place at Sa? vannah. -Judge Hunter, of the Criminal Court at Memphis, who has distinguished himself by the incarceration of editors in that city, has adjourned the court on the double pretext that it is impossible to enforce his decision, and that his life has been endangered. The Memphis press ridicule alike his actions and his assertions. The main cause of his closing the court appears to have been the release of the editors of the Avalanche on a writ of habeas corpas, which release he declares was illegal. -Within the last fortnight a large number of petitions have been presented to Congress from paper-makers, printers, type-founders and book-binders, against the passage of the International Copyright law now under con? sideration. They have their origin in the fear that the bill will operate adversely to American industry by transferring to England the manu? facture of English books and magazines re? quired for this market. From what we oan ?ear, there is little probability that Congress will pass the copyright bill under considera ?iion. -Liberia is agitated by the suffrage ques? tion. At present, only those possessing a very 1 ?visible admixture of African blood are admit? ted to citizenship; but a party has lately ar- i jived which proposes, as a measure of justice, ? to enlarge the area of freedom by enfranchis? ing the down-trodden white trash. The con? servatives strongly oppose so flagrant ade- 1 par t ure from the ancient, landmarks of the con- 1 stitntion, and contend that there is no safety, 1 socially and politically, except in maintaining i ihe republic as it was made by its founders- < strictly a colored man's government. . -Mr. Van. der Weyde. an insurance agent in Kew York, writes to the American Artisan that m Frgno the party in whose house a fire oc? curs never receives pay for the loss. His ' neigh bors who lose by bis carelessness all get 1 f. -their insurance money, but tho man upon I whose premises the fire occurs receives notb- , ing, whether the fire is the result of careless? ness, or of crime, or of misfortune. Mr. Yan der Weyde says that this regulation is enforced ' by order of the Emperor, to whom, indued, he seems to give the credit of originating it, and that the rates of insurance are lower in France than in this country. We do not know what is done in case tho burned premises are occupied by one person and owned by another. If the regulation is a wise one-and upon this point .we express no opinion-it will doubtless soon ^be brought into use in this country. -In bunding houses it has become a com? mon practice for the builders to buy the doors and wiadows already made. It is now prc? posed to supply them in like manner with the walls and ceilings, in the form of slabs, to be used as a substitute for lath and plaster. These slabs are made of cane fiber-a cheap material obtained from the cane of the South? ern cane-breaks by disintegration effected bf the explosive force of steam, and costing about ten dollars a ton, mixed with clay, rosin, size, and other cheap materials. The caue fiber is ?Iso made into paper of various kinds. The following advantages are claimed for this new bunding material: In a few hours all the walls and ceilings of a house can be put up by nailing them to the ordinary battens upon which the laths are nailed. The work can be ?done as well in winter as summer time, and no drying is required. The fibrous slabs do not warp, crack, break, peel, shell, crumble, nor decay; and they keep out damp, heat, and -cold better than lath and plaster. They are somevrhit similar but asserted to be superior to the panels or wainscoting found in many palaces and mansions in England. Their cost is said to be less than half the cost of com? mon lath and plaster. It is proposed to make them fire-proof and water-proof, that they may serve for the roofs and outer walis of houses better than clapboard aud shingles. Accord? ing to estimates which have been made, the cost of an ordinary cottage house will be very much lets than the present cost of a frame house of the same' size ; and it is claimed fibrous elab houses can be erected in less than one-fourth of the time now required to erect other houses. , -A Northern correspondent writing from Florida, urges the advantages which that State offers to immigrants, and adds : "If they are working earnest men, they cannot fail to become wealthy, and with half the labor demanded at ' the North or West. Lands are now cheap, in fact large tracts are divided up, and alternate sections are giren away to actual settlers. These rich lands are in the market. One gen? tleman I have met, is the owner of many thou? sand acre J of the richest lands irjpthe State, lay? ing along the St. John's, where steamers aro passing daily, and landing at points on them. Lu the enterprising spirit of his far-seeing wis? dom, this gentleman-Captain Coxetter, of Charleston, S. C.-offers to give to actual white settlers a warrantee deed of every alternate section of these valuable lands. These lands must be-as well as others all over the State iu the next five years, occupied by a go-ahead white- people. Dependence upon the negro race has become a myth, and the absurd belief 1 ihat the white race cannot cultivate the soi/ in this land of puro?t air, is an exploded humbug: that nonsense is of thc past. If ihi? is a de? batable question in the minds ol' any dispu? tants, I will turu thom over to many sturdy sons from thc cold North, now handling tho plough in tho Floridas and becoming wealthy." -The English courts have recently docided that while newspaper writers, as private indi? viduals, have no more right to denounce a public man or expose a public wrong or danger than any one else, still, in their capacity of critics, "acting in behalf of the public, they should be p|ptected in a latitude of remark. Last winter the Pall Mall Gazette editorially denounced a certain American physician, then in London, as a quack, and the injured docter brought suit against the paper for the ?bel. Had the writer of the article complained of made the remarks which formed the basis of the action in conversation, or had published his denunciation of the doctor as his own pri? vate opinion over his own signature, he would have been liable to be compelled to pay for his indiscreet candor; but the judge before whom the case was tried docided that the public in? terest demanded that writers for the press, in their capacity of critics on behalf of the pub? lic, should be shielded in the expression of their opinions and held harmless, if these opinions are honestly entertained and express? ed without malice, notwithstanding they might turn oat to be erroneous. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1868. Tnt Bankrupt Act. The Bankrupt act which has now been in operation for nine months has been already approved by its results as a wise expedient of public policy. Some measure of relief was needed in behalf ofthat large class who by losses during and since the war, by the fluctuations of markets and the uncertainty of national affairs have been unhappily re? duced to insolvency. It was necessary to wipe out the old scores. Many a noble for? tune has been wrecked; and few are the fragments cast upon the shore, and vain are the efforts to raise the sunken treasure from the deep. Wisdom requires that we should let the old adventure go, and seek fer such new blessings as await the hopeful heart and diligent hand. Our condition exactly reverses the moral which Mr. HASTE, the California poet, draws from the legend of "The Lost Galleon." We ask his pardon for altering his pretty lines : -"Hear the truth : Over the trackless path somewhere, Lie tho lost days of oar tropic'youth, Never regained by faith and prayer, Never recalled by prayer and plaint, A lost day has no patron saint 1" Perhaps if we knew the history of the Bankrupt act we should understand better why Mr. JENCKES, one of the most thought? ful of the Republicans, allowed so many objectionable features to have place in it, why it was burdened with unnecessary technicalities, why it admitted of long de? lays, and why it made better provision for the lawyer than the creditor. Yet as a pre? scription for the alleviation of the public distress, it was timely. And while the act affords relief it gaards against fraud with great care. The books, papers, and business transactions of the debtor are subjected to a close and critical investigation. He cannot falsify the record, or transfer to the care of friends various articles of property, to be restored after the settlement of his affairs. The inquisi? tors are behind the scenes, and it will re? quire no common adept to play any stage trick upon them; they can see the lighted side of the dark lantern and the trap-door trhere the ghost descends. This is very well. But if the act is good and wise, on the "whole, why limit its opera- ? ti on to one year ? Why require that after : the year ends, the bankrupt shall not be discharged unless he is able to pay fifty per cent, on his indebtedness, or unless a ma? jority in number and value of his creditors . assent in writing to his release ? We see, indeed, that it is even doubtful whether there is a full year of grace allowed, or only a part of a year. According to sec? tion fifty, the act is to commence and take effect as to official appointments and the promulgation of rules from the date of its approval (March 2, 1867), but no petition should be filed until the first of June, 1867. Now the question is, at which of these dates , did the act begin to run. If at the earlier date, no papers oan be legally filed now unless under the thirty-third section, which i requires the payment of fifty per cent, or the assent of creditors. If at the later, the remedy extends to the first of Juue. For our part we do not see the necessity of adopting any such restriction at all. A just Bankrupt act should become a perma? nent part of oar jurisprudence. And surely a man who is utterly ruined should not be less tenderly considered than a man who has lost but half his fortune ! And, if even this simple principle of justice and common sense should be disputed, who does not see that the evils whioh the Bankrupt act was in? tended to relieve have not yet ceased to operate. The effects of the war have been prolonged by social disorganization and unfriendly legislation, by bad crops and declining prices. Our people are striving to make head against a swift, strong cur? rent of misfortune. They are staggering under multiplied burdens of debt and taxa- ! tion. Let the measure of relief at least ' stand until the tide turns and the burden is lightered. Tcnnyson's.Last. It is painful to the admirers of Mr. TEN? NYSON to observe how recklessly he is wast? ing his well earned fame. He has become a magazine contributor, and as all such writers are tempted to do, makes money out of any old scraps that may come to light, o- :y bits of impromptu verse that may occur to his careless thinking. Some few months ago he thrust a few sharp little stanzas through A buzzing anonymous satir? ist, as a boy would fasten a fly with a pin. Everybody stared;-NEBO in verse was a new role for the Poet Laureate. Iiis latest offspring, a poem of thirteen lines, in the March number of Good Words,-and which has already been reproduced in these col? umns-is scarcely more creditable. One thing, however, can be said in its favor,_ it is a model of Spartan brevity. As there is so little in it, we are thankful of having 30 little of it. Thank you for nothing, Mr. TENNYSON ! niants. ?f T'ANTKD, BY A SMALL CA m I LY, A Tr competent colored female house servant and plain -nrapher. Reinmraeuda?'on required.

The RODUNDA GUANO ls not a mineral phos? phate, requiring the action of the Sulphuric Acid to render lt soluble; Ita great power sa a fertiliser ls tn ita entire solubility, without the sid of add. It is not a "rr anipulauon" or Compound of i lah or Flesh with Mineral Phosphates, the regularity of which ls always uncertain and dependent upon, and controll? ed by tho honesty of the manufactoxsr. The RO? DUNDA la a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that tem being understood tornean the excrement of fish-eat*, lng birds), as the large per centaga cf organic mat-' ter sufficiently attests, and as found upon the Island of Redunda, in the very state as imported and sold to consumers. The regularity and uniformity of the fineness and condition of the various cargoes already imported by us into the United States, tested by the 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 furnish this Guano of the quality and purity represented. The PRICE of the BODUNDA GUANO ls not the least unimportant In these days of agricultural com4 petition and pecuniary embarrassment The very low piice at which lt can be sold placeslt within the reach of every larmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops in the purchase of high priced fertilizers. In the preparation of lands for Wheat and other cereals this Guano possesses properties that render it more desirable for these crops than any yet offered to the public. Pamphlets containing the analysis and experi? ments made by the most prominent Chemists of this country and in Europe, together with innumerable certificates o? its entire success from farmers and . planters, can be obtained at our Office, to which we invite attention. - Price $40 per Ton, In bags or barrels, In Char lee? ton. A liberal deduction made to dealers and purchas? ers of large quantities. Where the above Fertilizer is ordered in quantities sufficient to warrant it, the terms will be made accommodating to approved pur? chasers, and reasonable time given for satis? factory city acceptance. .
