Mr. Doolittle is Chairman. -Steamer Harriet Lane has been sold by the government to a party in Boston for $10,500. Bather cheap, the auctioneer said. Another vessel called the Pelican, English built, has been disposed of at $15,000. -Sergeant Bates and his flag arrived at 'Winnsboro' on Monday afternoon. He was well taken care of by the ex-Confederate, soldiers, and at 9 A. M. on Tuesday, left the town on his way to Chester, at which place he arrived at 7 P.M. -The American Colonization Society has asked Congress for $100,000 a year to support a steamship line from the United States to Libe? ria, and $100 to help each colored person wish? ing to emigrate in order to settle in that colo? ny. It is stated that over six hundred negroes wore Bent to that place last year, and that since the brginning of this year three thousand more have gone, or are about to set out, from several of the Southern States. -Mrs. Frances Lord Bond aspires to repre? sent the United States Government at the Court of St. James. She bas been trying to persuade the President to appoint her for months past, and notwithstanding she is re? commended for the place by numerous mem* bera of Congress, without distinction of party, .-she has failed to get the appointment. She bas recently obtained from Senator Wade a letter strongly urging her claims for the cov? eted position. She is now working assiduous? ly for the rejection of General McClellan, and should she succeed, she supposes that the President will appoint her, for the reason that abe is the only person that the Senate will con. finn. -The Baltimoreans are jubilant over the ar? rival at that port of the new Bremen iron steamship Baltimore, the first steamer of the new line to ply between Bremen and that city. The event is to be signalized by a great civic and military celebration and banquet, and a general holiday. The Baltimore is a first-class iron screw propeller, of 2065 tons burthen, constructed at Greenock, on the Clyde, for the Harth German Lloyds, and is a handsome and spacious vessel, built with all the latest im? provements in machinery and appointments. The Berlin, a similar vessel, will leave Bremen for Baltimore on the 1st of next menlh, having already a full complement of passengers and cargo engaged. -The late Confederate cavalry General Im boden is now Domestic Agent of Immigration for thc State of Virginia. He was recently waited upon by a Mr. Yan Baalte, of Holland, who is seeking a Bite for the settlement of several hundred families from his country, who are to sail for Virginia this spring. He is at? tracted by the low lands of the York and James rivers. Captain E. H. Plumarcher, of the Swiss army, Commissioner of the Swiss Emi? grant Socity, is also in Virginia looking for lands. General Imboden has suggested the Piedmont country, near the head waters of the Pan, of which Danville is the principal town, and also several localities in the southwestern part of th 3 State. His reports may draw many .thousand settlers. -John Stuart Mill bas recently published a pamphlet upon the Irish question, and in it suggests some remedies for the removal of the -evils of Ireland. Since the Irish landlords will do nothing, he thinks the government might purchase their estates, giving them an equivalent in the funds, and then let the ground at a reasonable rent to tho people. Mr. Mill laughs at the superstitious respect of the English for property, which is looked on, ho says, as a sort of ark of the covenant, and very dangeious to meddle with. He, however, would make it subject, like all other matters, to the disposal of Parliament for the general good. But such a proposal means the ulti? mate tall of the territorial aristocracy in Eng? land and Scotland, as well as in Ireland; and Mr. Mill's theory seems to be rather prema? ture. The Lords and Commons will not coun? tenance it. -The quarrel for the possession of the Erie Railroad becomes more complicated every day. The Drew men are now anxiously awaiting the fate of a bill before the New York Legislature, the passage of which will legalize their issue of stock already made and allow them to give out more at their pleasure. Should this measure be defeated, they will fall back on New Jersey, in which State a bill bas been passed which takes the future transactions of the company entirely out of the jurisdiction of the New York Courts, and allows them to do all their business in New Jersey. It is also stated that Judge Clerke bas granted an injunction re? straining the receiver, Mr. Osgood, appointed by Judge Barnard, from acting in that capa? city, but it has not yet been ssrved. The ru? mored adhesion of the Astors to the cause of Commodore Vandervilt, created no little stir in Kew York on Saturday. The talk was that if there is any such combination formed, and should it succeed, the trade and commerce of New York will henceforth be at thc mercy of the grand monopoly, which will then have su areme control of all the chanueb cf trade. I leading to and from tho city. Tao Western journals are VOIT generally backing up DP:W, on the ground that ii he succumbs they will bc at the mercy of a monopoly. -The France tells some auecdotcs ot' thc principal orators in thc French Chamber, which, if not true, are at least amusing. One day, it says, wheu 31. Jul 's Favre was speak? ing, 3?. Rouhcr fell asleep. When the eloquent Radical leader ended his spcoch, M. Vuitry naked bia colleague, telling him he must re? ply. "What did bc talk about ?" rejoined il. Boulier. M. Vuitry having describod in a few words the subjoct of debate, M. Rouher ascended the iribune, and in a speech of three quarters of an hour triumphantly demolished the arguments of his opponent. When be re? turned to bis seat he laughingly reproached ll. Vuitry for having waked him from the pleasantest nap he had enjoyed for a long time. The speeches of M. Berryer are also conceived on the spur of the moment, and ho attaches so little value to them after they have been delivered that be never corrects thc re? ports, as most of the members do. Once, on being urgently requested by thc head of the reporters to revise an important speech which he had delivered that evening, he replied : ;'I rend my own speeches ? You might as well offer me soup after coffee." M. Thiers, on the other band, correcte the reports of his speeches with great care. After an important debate, he usually passes the night in the office of the Moniteur, going over the proofs word for word, and keeping himself awake by drinking choco? late. -The New En glish Prime Minister laid down his policy in full in bis speech before the House of Commons on thc 5th instant. He an? nounced that it shou':d be only a continuation of that inaugurated by Lord Derby when be came into power some two years ago. Disraeli's confidential association with the retiring Pre? mier, which bas existed for twenty years, as he says, absolutely without a cloud, enables bim to carry out tho policy of his predecessor to the letter. He defines it as a policy of peace, which statement, probably in view of the Irish troubles, the Abyssinian war and the worrying Alabama question, he qualifies as not peace at any price, but peace for the interests of the world. He does not propose to isolate the country, but promises a sympathy with other nations, not or ly in their prosperous fortunes but in the anxieties and troubles. The an? nouncement that his would be a liberal policy was received with mingled laughter and cheers from the opposition and ministerial bencher, which only brought out the statement that the government would shrink from no changes which might be required by tbe wants of the age. He maintained that the suspension of the habeas corpus in ireland was not au act against tho Irish people, but a means of pro? tecting them from the machinations of "un? principled foreign confederation," and urged the completion of measures of relief for that country. The speech was well received, and the new ministry inaugurated with much promise. CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 27, 1808. Dependence on Goreinmntt. A great change is going on in our coun? try; the government is getting rich and the people poor. This is especial', '.he case at thc^South. With the exception of a few shrewd money speculators and a smaller number of men eminent in professional life, the only persons who are making money are those in office. A common field hand or a characterless adventurer, securing a place in a convention or au office in the local or general government, csu secure s largs* emolument than the learning, the soienoe, the integrity or the industry of the private citizen can aspire to. The great mass of our people, drained of their resources, and incapable of obtaining relief by perjury, find every avenue to success closed against them. The effect of this condition has been most unfortunate, and that in more than one re? spect. In the first place, it has reduced whole communities to despair. In the orphan jhouse, in the house of relief, in the almshouse and hospital, among the applicants for rations, and upon the lists of church beneficiaries, may be found representatives of some of the first families in the land-persons who were once in comfortable and even opulent cir? cumstances, but who are now reduced to beggary. In the second place, enterprise has given place to timidity and despondency, among business men,'who find themselves more and more involved by every effort made for their extrication, and most of whom would have been more prosperous, had they put forth no effort at all. But especially do we observe a striking sign of the revolution in the number and eagerness of place hunters. While others claim the assistance of government on the score of poverty, these clamor as loudly for government bounty on the score of loyalty. They have discovered an easy and open way to the public treasury. With a carpet bag and a flag, made since the war, they are doing a thriving business. Anybody can become a political aspirant now, upon the one condition of taking the oath. The number of paid officials is large, and he who can subserve the party in power, at whatever sacrifice of consistency, may re? tain his place for years. The benefit is more tangible than any results which accrue from drudging in stores, slaving in fields, or tempting the waves of the ocean. Heretofore Americans have had a pas? sion for politics, even when public employ? ments were few, scantily paid, and precari? ous. What extravagances may we not ex? pect now, when these employs have become so numerous, so lucrative, and when once having been obtained, they may be held for years through the favor of a powerful and unscrupulous party ? So long as the present state of things con? tinues, manliness will be at a discount! Au army of venal and servile place seekers diffused throughout the country, unproduc? tive consumers, officials uncontrolled by the opinion of the communities in which they are stationed, agitators by profession, crea? tures of a partisan caucus which sends its orders from Washington;-we know not any social evil that could be more prejudicial to the prosperity, the independence, the virtue or the peuce o? the country. Even the stability of the government itself is endangered by the multiplicity and gainfulness of public employments. DE TOCQUEVILLE has wisely remarked that "of all people in the world the most difficult to restrain and to manage are a people of so? licitants. Whatever endeavors are made by rulers, such a people can never he con? tented; and it is always to be apprehended that they will ultimately overturn the con? stitution of thc country and change the aspect of thc State, for the sole purpose of making a clearance of places." Do we not see the proof of thc wisdom of this declaration now? The impeachment of Mr. JOHNSON on merely technical grounds, might be readily disposed of, were it not for the immense number of place seekers, to whose interest it is to effect his deposi? tion. No doubt they will succeed. But when they have secured the emoluments of office, what is there to prevent others from imitating the precedent ? Those who want promotion will always be in the majority; and the majority rules. Let the wheel begin to rotate, and what is there to arrest its revolutions, except the wearing out of the axie-tree of government itself? There is no safety to society or to our institutions, when the chief support of the needy comes from the national treasury. Heavy on Old Thad. The "Nation/" the ablest by far of the Radical papers, does not relish the crack of the whip of the "leader of the House." In its last issue, it declares that it has for "some time given up discussing Mr. THAD? DEUS S'EVENS' opinions either on recon? struction or political economy, owing to the growth of a conviction in our minds that he did not reach them by ordinary human means-in other words, that he is a prophet, or soothsayer, or something of that kind. * * * It is well established that you cannot refute a prophet ; your remedy is, if he becomes troublesome, to disbelieve him." It adds that Mr. STEVENS is at present reflecting on the subject of the Declaration of Independence, and discover? ing new things in it every week. This is uncommonly hard on the Great Un-com moner. Generous Alary land I The charity of Maryland has not, it seems, been exhausted by the munificient and untiring liberality of her private citi? zens, towards the stricken South. A bill is pending in the Legislature of Maryland that proposes to appropriate (in addition to what has been heretofore BO generously contributed) twenty thousand dollars for the relief of the suffering people of the South, more particularly its women and children. The Baltimore Sun remarks : That there is absolute and pressing need of all the assistance that public and private be? nevolence can contribute is a most mournful fact, and to such an extent does this exist that, as the bill referred to above truly sets forth, "many of them (the Southern people) are with? out the necessaries of life, and not a few re? duced to starvation for the want of food." In one State, Mississippi, an appeal has been lately made by a lady of that State in behalf of a home for famished widows and orphans established at Lauderdale Springs, Miss., m which, it is stated that five hundred mothers and children, without shelter, food or clothing, are pleading at its gates for admission. Hun? dreds of these sufferers are described as wan? dering up and down without the pretence of a home, in tattered garments, with bare and lr. ae? rated feet.and hunger unappeased. This is but one out of many like scenes which may now be witnessed in a section where, before the war, a pauper was almost unknown where, in fact, there was more general plenty than in any other land under the sun. _Cfljtot_ rRFlNT, A CO M FO RT AB LOS HOUSE, No. 4 Mary-street.

A Pure, Unmixed, Natural Guano, ac Fine aa Flow (although not Ground), Just in the Condition in which lt is Imported xrom the Island. mH IS GUANO IS FBOM A BEOENTLY DI8 JL COVERED deposit on Rodunda Island, in the Carri bean Sea. West Indies, latitude 16 degrees 66 minutes north, longitude 62 degrees 23 minutes west It has been used for many years in the West India Islands in the cultivation of Sugar Cone and cereals with great success; was introduced for the first time to the farmers and planters o' tho United States in the spring of 1866, and baa met with unprecedented success, as the subjoined reports and testimonials rol? ly corroborate. The RODUNDA GUANO ls not a mineral phos? phate, requiring the action of the Sulphuric Add to render it soluble; its great power aa a fertilizer is In its entire solubility, without the aid of acid. It is not a "manipulation'' or Compound of * lah or Flesh with Mineral Phosphates, the regularity of which is always uncertain and dependont upon, and controll? ed by the honesty oi the manufacturer. The RO? DUNDA is a PURE NATURAL GUANO (that term being understood tornean the excrement offish-eat? ing birds), as the large per centage of organic mat? ter sufficiently attests, and as found upon the Island of Rodunda, in the very state ss 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 thia Guano of the quality and purity represented. The PRICE of the RODUNDA GUANO is not the least unimportant in these days of agricultural com petition and pecuniary embarrassment. The very low price at which it can be sold places lt within the reach of every farmer, and avoids the risk of large loss frequently incurred by failures of the crops in the purchase of high priced fertilizers, sjln the preparation of lands for Wheat and other cereals thiB Guano possesses properties that render it more desirable tor these crops than any yet offered to the public. Pamphlets containing the analysis and experi? ments made by the m<:st prominent Chemists of this country and In Europe, together with innumerable certificates of its entire success from farmers and planters, can be obtained ct our Office, to which we Invite attention. Price $40 per Ton, In bags or barrels, in Charles? 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 par chasers, and reasonable time given for satis? factory oity acceptance.
