Tcntion for President. ( -An experiment, made last year in Germa- i ny in planting potatoes, showed th at where the "eyes" had first boen removed, the yield was four times as great as wher e they were left in their place. Ic was found that where an old eye had been rubbed off, three or four new ones made their appearance. -It is reported that tho President is about to create a new military department in the South, to which General Rousseau is to be as? signed, with headquarters at New Orleans. -This district will embrace Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, and will be styled the Department of 1 the Gulf. ; 1 * -The exact phraseology of the law repealing i the cotton tax having become a matter of dis- ; pute, a certiied copy of .the aot has been pro- , cured from Washington by the Journal of Com? merce. The law reads, all cotton grown in the United States after*the year 1867 shall be ex? empt from internal tax, and cotton imported - from foreign countries on and after November Ist, 1868, shall be exempt from duty. -The scientific world, and especially that por. ?on cfit who have made the study of medi? cine and .surgery th9ir profession, cannot fail to be intensely interested in the fact which has recently come to our knowledge, of the deter? mination of Chang and Eng, the Siamese ' twins, to proceed to Paris to subm it to a surgi? cal operation for the purpose of dissevering the wonderful link that has so long bound them together. -Mr. Donnelly, member of Congress from . Minnesota, has written a reply to a letter - from a citizen of that State in relation to the extension of the one-year limitation in the Bankrupt law, in which he says : "I conferred with Mr. Trumbull, .ot the Senate, before ' whose committee the bill now is, and he in? formed me the committee had concluded to report adversely upon the bill. The bill, as -you aro aware, has already passed the House, but this action of the Senate committee will J prevent its becoming a law. I sincerely regret this, for the extension of the limitation in - question is a just and righteous measure.* ?,' -The provisions of the Peabody Educational ' Fund, do not extend to Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri and Texas. Attention has thus fan been given only to the largest towns and cities. In these it was found that only about one-third of the white children, generally tiona the weal? thier families, were attending schools ; about 11 -1 ffo-thirds of the colored children were in some f^ay. .provided with means of education and were actually at schools. In seven of the States free . schools have thus been established in the prin? cipal cities, the authorities aidiug in supplying fonds, and the plan has met with the earnest co-operation and sympathy of'the intelligent portion of the people. . -In relation to the condition of the crops, the Agricultural Department reports an in? crease acreage in nearly every State. There is no increase in the fall acreage of New England except four per cent in Vermont. In Pennsyl? vania the acre .ige is very slightly enlarged about threo'ji-r cent for winter wheat. In Delaware ? reduction of seven per cent: ap? pears,' while sm increase of nine per cent, is shown in Maryland, eleven in Virginia, seven? teen in North Carolina, twenty-one in South Carolina, eleven'in Georgia, ten in Alabama, fifty-three i?^:.{wippi,^iiurty-one in Arkan? sas, forty Ur Teiiifflesee, "and thirty in West Virginia. In Texas a. decrease is shown of ?ix per cent-, aird In'ifcri tucky of one per cent. Spring wheat is not grown in the South. The increased acreage in the West, where the great bulk of the wheat crop of the country is grown, 's of peculiar significance. -Hotel keepers, according to a recent pub? lished opinion of Commissioner Rollins, are liable to epecial tux from the first day of the month in which they engage in business as such, without taking iuto consideration the amount of their respective gross receipts, un? less the assessor shall be satisfied beyond any reasonable doubt that the gross receipts of any proprietor of a hotel will not exceed $1000 an? nually, in which case no assessment need be made. When tho special tax has been paid, and it shall appear to the satiefaction of the assessor, at the end of the special *ax year, j that no liability has been incurred, h<? willow sist the taxpayer to prepare a elaina for tire rz* J funding of the tax paid. -The condition of the South was one of the subjects of an address recently delivered in Bocten by Rev. Barnas Sears, the agent of the Peabody Educational Fund. Dr. Sears ? said that both sections of the country mi.under? stood and misinterpreted each other; that the work of politicians, both in the North and in the South, is pernicious; and that what the Southern States really need is the hearty co? operation o! the business men of the North to *fford>ihem capital to vitalize their energies. The Southern men look with distrust to the military and to those connected with the Bu? rea a, but men from the North, with average civility and good sense, are cordially received among them. As to the matter of negro suf? frage, the white population as a rule are op posed to it-at least to universal suffrage. He thought, however, they would willingly agree to some method of impartial suffrage which would work advantageously for both races. CHARLESTON. -o MONDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1368. The City Government. Further municipal changes are impend? ing. It is understood that as soon as the Legislature shall have taken action upon the Fourteenth Constitutional amendment (which will probably be before the middle of the present week,) Mayor COGSWELL, who has worn his civic honors thus far with reluctance, but none the less efficient? ly on that account, will be permitted to rei Ire and will give place to a new ad interim appointee, whose term will be limited to thirty days. At the expiration of that time the election for city officers will take place, and thenceforward Charleston will be left to take care of her own interests as best she may. We are not positively in? formed who Mayor COGSWELL'S immediate successor is tobe; but we believe there is no reason to apprehend that the ad interim appointment will fall upon any individual who would prove objectionable to the mass of the community. It is not unlikely that one of the recently installed alderman, a practical and energetic business man, will be cho3en. Three more aldermen, ail whites, i5 we have reason to believe, are also to be Appointed. Taxing the Bondholders. Quite a flurry has been caused at Wash? ington by the reoent action of Congress looking to the imposition of a tax of ten per cent, upon the interest of all United States bonds by whomsoever held. The Committee of Ways and Means, acting under he instructions of the House of Represen latives, has reported a bill authorizing the tax, but accompany their report with a hit? ler protest against the measure, which they lenounce cs but another name for repudia :ion, and a fatal stab at the national credit. The Committee say : "The bill will be sim 'ply a law providing for the payment of a .'rate of interest on the government debt 'ten per cent, less than was agreed for; ten 'per cent, less than is stated in the bonds, :'and ten per cent, less than was pledged 'to be paid by solemn enactment of Con? gress, when the money was required to .carry on a war which threatened the life 'of the nation." There is, undoubtedly, nu ch force in the argument thus advanced; sut it will hardly be able to withstand the tremendous popular pressure all over the S?rth for an equalization of the burden of laxation, so that the holder of government oonds may contribute his share towards the payment of the war-debt, as well as the jwner of other species of property. There is an unmistakable feeling among the masses that gross injustice has been done them in taking advantage of a state of war to fas? ten upon them unequal burdens, by taxing fill labor and exempting the bondholders. The be ' proof of the extent and power of | this sentiment, is to be found in the deci? siva character of the vote-92 to 54-by which the mandatory resolution, calling apon the committee to report the bill, was passed by the House; and the alarm with which the movement is regarded by the rep? resentatives of the monied and banking in? terests which have so large a stake in the bonds, shows that the measure is something more than an empty threat. In abstract theories, and in policies, the results of ] which affect only distant communities, it may be an easy task for demagogues to wheedle the masses; but in what directly touches their own pockets the Northern people are the keenest on the globe, and when they speak the politicians must bow. Br THE LETTER of our special correspon? dent at Columbia, published this morning, it will be seen that an attempt is likely to be ma ie to reduce the amount of official bonds to be given by the new State officers, and that it U determined to oust, if possi? ble, the Anderson Democratic delegation. The members of the Legislature promise to be apt scholars. If they do reduce the bonds, they admit that the elect have not friends and standing to the extent of a cool ninety thousand, and lead the new-comers inte a temptation that has caused better men to fall. If they eject the Anderson Democrats, they acknowledge that the pres? ence and influence of a handfull of respect? able men are more than Radicalism can stand. "THAT MAS who pays more for his rent than for his advertising does not know his business." This maxim of an experienced ind successful merchant is incontrovertible, [t matters less to have a fine store than that everybody should know where it is and vhat is in it. ADMIRAL SEMMES has been engaged for some time past in the preparation of a work, commemorative of his cruises and services during the late war between the States. The Mobile Times is authorized to state that the work will be an historical memoir, embrac? ing the whole career of the Admiral during the war, commencing with his resignation from the old navy,. and terminating with the evacuation of Richmond and thc de? struction of the James river 2*e;r~o/ j**^ he was then in comri^^Thi- Admiral's 'bruises will be skeiphyf*SSwell as histori Li^^^Ii^mtlac? descriptions of per s?n? ?tt? - irather in the style of me bv*"u or sketch-writing than in the didactic style of the historian; though due atten? tion will be paid to the historical part of the narrative. The work will be published in the fall. A MEETING of the Central Committee appointed by the different wards of thc city will be held to-night in the Masonic Hall, and a general attendance of the mem? bers is requested. It behooves our citizens now, as they value the future weal of this community, at once to go patiently, earnest? ly and resolutely to work. The destiny of the city is in their hands. But if they would save themselves and their home from the rule of PILLSBURY and his gang, not a moment is to be lost, -.......

They will be found in the report of the Democratic barbecue. _Cojtart._ QUMMBR RESIDENCE.-FOR RENT, O and the Furniture FOB SALE, a commodious RESIDENCE, eligibly luca.ed at Cainhoy, on Wando River, fifteen miles from Charleston, with which there is daily communication by packets.

THE PRIME CAUSE OF STEAM BOILER EX? PLOSIONS ARISES FROM A DEFICKNCY OF WATER IS THE BOILER WHILE IN? ACTION. EXPLOSIONS FROM DEFICIENCY OF WATER. Low water in steam boiler* is no unusual occur? rence. Inunlncut danger frequently arises from this cause, a: d it cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of engineer-, that there ls co part of the apparatus con-titu?ng the mountings of a boiler which requires greater atteni iou thau tbat which sup? plies it wi-h water, In a properly constru ted boil? er every part of the metal exposed to the action of the fire should be iu immediate fontact with tL? wa t-r. and when proper provision is made.to maiutaiu the water at a sufhtieut height above the parts so exposed, accidents eau never occur from this cause. Should the water, however, get low from defects in the pump, and the surface over the fire eecome over? heated, then, even at the ordinary working pres.-ure, there is great danger of au explosk n. There is no occasion, uuder such circumstances, to search furth? er for the cause o: explosion, from the fact that the material, when overheated to a certain degree loses about flvc-slxths ot its etreugth, and is, therefore, unable to re?ist the internal pre sure. When a boiler becomes short ol water, the first thing usual? ly done is to put the foci pump in action ; this ccr tcinly remedies the deficiency, but -increases the danger, and may lead to the explosion of the boiler. Ashcroft'? Low Water-Detector Is eminently fltt- d to guard agalnstr-a* 'lentscaused by low water. It needs not the '-are oi itteutiouot the engineer or fireman to keep it in or uer. Opera? ting hv the force of natural law?, it take arc of it? self, aud is only called into action by the rall of thc water below any fixed level, and then it gives the alarm to all within sound of the whistle of a defi? cient supply ot water. It stands as a watchful monitor ovtr the m?' >. of power on which it is placed, and not only g it, but notifies the atteudunt, if be is forgett. negligent of his duty. JOHN F.
