Faulkner and Norman. A small steam yacht ie constructed for the purpose. -The latest Yankee invention is the econo? mic cheroot, one of "which uv twice the length "of the ordinary, and herein is the economy The governmant taxes o?gase without regard to lan gt a, and the ; application of a knife will make one of theseinto two. ^-The valuation of the real and personal property of New York city, hable to taxation in 1868, Ls" fixed at $903,436,327, ag?nst S83L - 869,813 in -1867, being au", increase of $76,766, S/Li. This increase, it is assorted, is due .main ly.to the rise .of real estate, in the upper,wards. This year the rato of taxation will be fixed at about $2 50 per $100; last year it was $2 80. ' -The'Atlanta New Era represents crops of all kinds in Southwestern Georgia as so far very promising. The com crop will be a heavy one, ar third inore land than last year being planted. The cotton crop looks well, but the quantity planted is less than last year. Tho wheat'erop, just harvested, though not large, - j was generally good. The cultivation of rice, I sorghum, and tobacco is onthe increase ; -At a Hallowell (Me.v-granite .quarry, re? cently, there was a spht.rrom'a sheet or gran? ito, a solid block one hundred feet long, averag? ing in width eight and a hali -f^et, and-in thickness fire feet., The block contains. no less than four thousand two hundred and ?ity cubic feet, and consequently would - weigh about' three hundredand-tbree anda half tons. It la asserted that a more ponderous and sym? metrical mass of granite was never before quar? ried in the country. -The war pressure has'been so great-in ' Brasil that the: Emperor and Empress have contributed a quarter of their income to help the public purse, and the other members of j " the Imperial family outouie h of theirs. At the same tim?, the Emperor has refused to hare, .any exemption from the tax of - three per cent, on all earnings over six hundred dollars yearly, and. pays. that proportion on the revenue showed .him for the-support of his State as hoad of the Empire. He shows himself tho most democratic of Emperors -being 'rather beyond" Napoleon III in thia respect. . y-The Journal des Debata gives some details or the state, of health of the Princess Charlotte, It seems that at times she is perfectly sane, but ?he has had so many' relapses that there are grave doubts about her absolute recovery. If that end be ever; attained, it will be by perfect ' quiet, Buch oaahe now,enjoye at Lacken. She itf quite aware of all that happened in Mexico, and has sent lO.OOOfl. as. her subscription to - wards the monument which the city of Trieste : is about to erect to the memory of the.Emperor Maximilian. She. has also just had a crown : made ia Brussels, which she has eent to Vienna, Co be placed on the tomb in which he his re? mains. -Hie wheat crop of-California is reported as promising "unusual returns. Letters from the Sacramento YaHeygive very encouraging accounts of the crop generally* and speak of the wheat product as remarkable in its yield, promising more to the acre than any pre? vious crop since tho occupation of the coun? try by Americans. The rainy season contin? ued mach later than usual, the present year m that region, and the people felt great ap? prehension of lodged and tangled fields, which, when they happen, bid defiance to the. crop gatherers. But recent accounts, however, represent the fields as in good con? dition, with the prospect of an unexampled . product. - -The New York Times remarks: "The color? ed men in South Carolina have begun pretty promptly to carry oat the doctrine that to the ' victor belongs the sppila. A Mr. Whipper, .Northern negro,' cracked hi3 lash over his Ee puLhcan. brethren at the organization of the Legislature, and claimed that a black speaker should be elected. He was unsuccessful, for a white one, Mr. Moses, was the fortunate man. However, it was ? warning that if the freedmen are going to pull chestnuts oat of the fire they Will hereafter demand a share of the fruit, lu a few years from this time we shall have both parties pledging offices for colored votes, aud perhaps in raptures over that 'rich negro brogue.'" -The cannibalism of the Arabs during the i recent famine in Algeria appears to be proved by letters published in the Pr?nch papers. One writer at Toolon says: "Eight Arabs, under tho escort of four gendarmes, have passed through this place-Nice. They are all con? demned, on a charge t f cannibalism to impris? onment for hie, and are being taken to the Island of St. Marguerite, where they are to un dergo their punishment. Ihese wretches, im Belled by hunger, made very many repasts on human flesh; they carried off children in pre terence, of whom they appear to have devour? ed a great number. They deserved death, bat the tribunal, taking the famine into account, (ave the benefit of that extenuating circum? stance." -Among the singular events transpiring in New York is a convention of State prisoners ! of those gentlemen who, apon the ringing of tho 'Tittle belT ol Seward, or by oiders of Stanton through his detective Baker, and the hundreds of spies and policemen in the em? ployment of toe War Department, were caugh np, whipped off to a dungeon without time even to get a change of clothing, or let their f iends know where they were. These gentle? men included some of the best men in the land. A number of thom being in New York, they determined to hold a meeting to express their opinions of public affairs and of the pe i ty ty? ranny from which they suffered. They wiil put forth an address, no doubt, which will fall upon the guilty men who persecuted them as did the maledictions of those apparitions con? jured up by the witches upon the ears of Mac? beth. Each of these outraged men will be a Bahquo's gho3t to Seward and Stanton. -The nations of Europe are all vehemently ISnsisting that the preservation of the peace of | the continent is the object most earnestly de ! sired by each of them. Thus Gen. Von Moltke, Chief of Staff to the King of Prussia, and I I planner of the great Prussian campaign of J 1866* recently made a speech in the North Ger? man Parliament, in which he said that no one desired move than himself that'the immense suma now devoted by the various States of | Europe to warlike objects might be turned to purposes of peace. The only meaos of bring? ing about such a result would be the establish? ment in the midst of Europe of a non-aggres? sive power which wonld be Btrong enough to prevent all its neighbors from making war ; and thia power must be Germany. And again, Minister Rouher, of France, says that a strong \ French army is a pledge of peace, that Napo? leon accepts German unity and the rights of I nationalities, and that France has no idea of j war except in defence of her territory. When the principle is once admitted that a non-ag? gressive power must le established ju Europe strong enough to repress the warlike tendencies of ita neighbors, each nation endeavors to be? come that overruling authority in questions of peace and wax. So there appears to be no prospect of a general disarmament so long as both France and Prussia insist on holding the first place on the list. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING JULY ll, 1868. . , > Let Charleston Speak! The return of the South Carolina delega? tion from the National Democratic Conven? tion should be signalized by the holding of | a mass ratification meeting in this, the commercial and financial capital of the State. Our tacit, though hearty approval of the nomination of. SE YMG U H and BLAIR. as the standard-bearers of the National Democracy is not sufficient; nor is it enough that we esteem most highly the dignified manner in which our delegates discharged their grave and important duties. Our dele gates are entitled to a public recognition of | their services, and, above all, the.grand and stirring platform of the Democratic party of j the United States-our "new declaration of | independence-demands at the bands of our people such on approval and ratification as can only be given by a mass meeting whose voice shall be heard from the waters of the Cooper and Ashley to the mountains of the Carolina border. The struggle before us is a bard one, and the victory canjmly be won by* unremitting exertion, and by kindling those fires of en? thusiasm which ceased to burn when the soldiers ?f the. Confederacy sheathed their blunted swords. Our opponents say that the people of South Carolina are cowed, that three years of military despotism have made them women in strength, and less than women in fortitude and patriotic cour? age. This we can now disprove, for the time for waiting and for silence is past. There is no longer reason why our tongues should be tied. We may speak with bold? ness and act with determination. Carolina has clasped her hands and bowed her head for thrice twc Ire anxious months, but now we may strike the shackles from our limbs, clear-the scales from our eyes, and go heart and soul into that contest upon whose re? sult depends our lives, liberties and for? tunes. This contest cannot-better be inaugurat? ed than by holding a mass meeting in this city, at which our delegates may address the Charleston Democracy upon the politi? cal situation. Their visit to the National Convention has brought them in contact with the most eminent statesmen in the land. They will be able to give us words of counsel, and, we believe, of good cheer, and then every man present may pledge himself to the work of our political regener? ation by joining in a unanimous ratification of the nominations and platform of the National Democratic party. Governor Seymour's Financial Views. In view of the fact that Governor SEY? MOUR has become the standard-bearer of the Democratic party, the points of the pow? erful Bpeech which he delivered about two weeks ago, at the Cooper Institute mass meeting in New York, assume an interest and importance far beyond what has hith? erto been attached to (hem. The speech was mainly directed to the consideration of the financial condition of the country. Gov? ernor SETMC?B claims, in the first place, that the moneyed and tax policy of the Rad? ical party has produced sectional jealousies between the Eastern and Western States, divided the Union into debtor and cred? itor States, given to labor and business a debased currency and to the untaxed bondholder sterling coin, and that this de-, predation and all the jarring^terests con? nected with the subject, are due to the dis? honor of our national credit, sinking the value of bonds, greenbacks and bank notes, and which-is itself the result of the un? heard-of extravagance and wastefulness of j those now dominating the government. Governor SKTXOUB supports his position by an irresistible array of facts and figures, os well as reasonings. He shows that since July 1, 1905, about three months after the surrender of Gen. LEE, up to July I, 1868, the cost of the government will be, by official reports and estimates, $820,390,208, and that up to July 1, 1869, by the estimate of J the chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, it will be $107,973,466, making for four years $1,018,363,574, which enor? mous amount does not include one cent paid or to be paid for interest or principal of the public debt. The public expenditures du? ring the four years before the war, leaving out interest on debt, were $256,226,414, showing that the Radicals have spent in a time of peace four dollars where one was spent in the four years before the war. The growing coBt of government, Governor S KIMO CE granta, might justify the Radicals in spending two dollars where one was spent formerly, which" would make $512, 425,828, but they have spent $505,910,646 beyond this, which, if it had been used to pay the debt, would have carried the national credit to the highest point, tax? payers would be relieved, and mechanics, laborers and pensioners be paid iu money as good as coin. For a considerable period succeeding the war, it was of the utmost importance that our vast currency should be contracted, and through the persistent efforts of Secretary MCC?LLOCH that policy was enforced until within a few months, and a large reduction was effected. The volume of currency is probably not at pres? ent too great, under a healthful state of ? business, and Governor SETMOUR rightly holds now that it is to be improved by con? tracting the* expenses of the government, wh'ch cannot be expected from the Repub licau.policy, which has sunk the value of j our currency more than eight per cent, in the past two years, and to the continuance of which that party is pledged. He main? tains that with the removal of the party in power, and the ? sucoess of their political opponents, economy, low taxes and sol? vency will prevail, greenbacks in due time will be at par, and the whole question of re ' pudiation settled to the general satisfaction. The facts are that the political elements dominating the country the past three years of peace have not accomplished the things needed to xeatore the national credit and the consequent prosperity of the people, relieving them from the burdens of exces? sive taxation, attendant upon national ex? travagance. The country, therefore, now loses hope ia those who have so disappoint? ed it, and the people naturally look about to see whence the needed relief may come. They will accept it from any quarter whence it is likely to be obtained, and will caSt themselves upon any organization or ally themselves with any movement worthy of J their confidence for the attainment of the great end in view. The Valedictory or Ex-Governor Orr. The valedictory address of Ex-Governor ORE, published this morning, is addressed "To the People of South Carolina,'' and mainly consists(of an explanation of the reasons which governed his political course during the last two years. As Governor ORB can no longer profess to speak " For the People of South Carolina," it is not ne? cessary to criticise either his own opinions or the advice he offers to others, and it would be neither just nor generous to speak harshly at this time of one who, whatever his political errors, has devoted the whole of his great ability to the service of the State. Pit\r Booka. Messrs. HAEPER & BROS., of New York, have just published a revised edition of the charming work by JEAN MACE, entitled "The History of' a Mouthful of .Bread." The English translation by Mrs. GATTY has been carefully compared with the original, and numerous important corrections have been made. As a work, it is as interesting to the grown reader as it is fascinating to the child, and it may be made the means "of mastering, almost as a mere amuse "meat, some of the first principles of anat "omy, chemistry, ?r?J. several other of the "physical sciences, aB well as of attaining "some knowledge of natural history in "general." Thc same firm have published a revised translation of a companion work by JEAN MACE, called "The Servants of the Stom? ach," which explains.the elements of hu? man physiology in a style that must attract the attention of the most intelligent class of j readers. It is charmingly written, and. is characteristically happy ia explanation and illustration. Both books are for sale at HOLMES* Book House, King-street, and we know of none whose.perusal will give more useful infor? mation and healthy instruction. I-'is JUST AS WELL for newspapers to be correct in giving information, even though their pride should suffer a little thereby. The Democratic platform, it will be remem? bered, was telegraphed in full, and exclu? sively, on Wednesday last, to THE DAILY NEWS. Our city contemporaries, whose readers were thirsting for the document, stood on their dignity and disdained to avail themselves of the early copy thus placed at their disposal. What was the consequence? The Couricr,yesterday, prints as part of the platform a series of resolu? tions which had no connection whatever with that instrument, and which were not even adopted by the Convention. The Mer? cury makes a still more egregious blunder. It prints a siring of resolutions totally dif? ferent from those passed by the Conven? tion, and-has the modesty to declare that its own version is "a correct copy of the platform." But it is better late than never, and we advise our neighbors to again con? sult the telegraphic columns of Thursday's NEWS. Copartnership Hotter. THAN b.

PLOSIONS ARISES FROM A DEFICIENCY OF WATER IN THE BOILER WHILE TN ACTION. EXPLOSIONS FROM DEFICIENCY OF WATER. Low water in steam boilerels no unusual occur? rence. Imminent dinger frequently arises from this cause, and it cannot be too forcibly impressed upon the minds of engineers, that there is no port of the apparatus constituting the mountings of a boiler which requires gi eater attention than that which sup? plies it with water, lu a properly constructed boil? er every part of the metal exposed to the action of the fire ehould bo in immediate contact with the wa t-r and when proper provision is made to maintain the'water at a sufficient height above the parts so exoosed, accidents eau never occur from thia cause. Should the irater, however, get low from defects in the pump, and the surface over the fire become over? heated, then, even at the ordinary working pressure, there is great danmor of au explosif n. There ls no occasion, under such circumstances, to search furth? er for the cause ot'explosion, from the fact that the material, when overheated to a certain degree loses about fire-sixths of its strength, and is, therefore, unable to resist the internal pressure. When a boiler becomes short of water, the first thing usual? ly done is to put tho feed pump in action; this cer? tainly remedies the deficiency, but increases the danger, and may lead to tte explosion of the boiler. Ashcroft's Low Water Detector Ii eminently fitted to guard against accidents caused by low water. Itneedsnotthe care or attention of the engineer or fireman to keep it m order. Opera? ting by the force of natur il laws, it takes care of it? self, and is only called into action by the fall of the 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 over the magazine of power on which it is placed, and not only guards it, but notifies ito attendant, if he is forgetful or negligent of his duty. JOHN F.
