Hts. frame trembled violently, and be was so filled with emotion, that he waafore - - ed to take his seat. Senator Tickers, of Mary? land, finished the reading, when all the sena? tors gathered about Hr.

The -'nee was atm smouldering on the 26th of June. Nearly four thousand acres of moorland have been left black and' desolate, with scarce a liv? ing b rd or animal, or vegetable, excepting the i f -hugesttrees. : The yoong grouse and rabbits, ji: "which abound on these moors,-have been to? tally destroyed, and sheep grazing there have e in some instances perished. - -The coal trade is now exciting great inter- r est in-those cpuntriea of Western Europe that within tho last fewyears have been encouraging manufactures. ? Hamburg newspaper says: ' "Cheap coal ia nutates industry. Ip the pres- \L . ent condition of tho coal trade m France, the chief point to be aimed at must necessarily be a proportionate r?duction in price, and the "I c only means to obtain this is to reduce the cost I c of transport... While a ton of coal costs in England ll 20, in Prussia tl 60, and in Belgi ,nm $2 50, in Franco it costs $4." -Telegraphic communication will soon be effected between the City of Mexico and*the Atlantic ports of the United States.

On the Continent the drought is more terrible. All Spain is a parch ed deser t, and there and in the south of France not more- than one-third of the usual crop of cereals is expected. At Niomes most of the Wells are dry, and the few that still yield water are surrounded by crowds of people and cattle. It seems that the famine which has desolated Northern Africa tho past year now threatens Southern Europe. ^ -The regulation of clerical vestments is the subject of a bill introduced into the English House of Lords by Lord Shaftesbury. This bill provides that every minister, when "saying the prayers in any church," shall wear a sur phoe with sleeves, and shall be at liberty to wear over the surplice, as at present, a plain black silk scarf.. If he be a university graduate, he may also wear the university hood, and if he be not a graduate, he nfay then, if he think fit, wear "some decent tippet - of black." The object of the bill is to secure uniformity in the performance of church wor ship, and it would prohibit ornaments, in? cense and. lighted candles. Should it pass into a statute, for a breach of either of its pro- 1 visions the bishop shall have power to inhibit e the offender from saying the public prayers for t three months. ' -In New Bedford, Haas., on the 4th, there was a balloon ascension, and as the balloon ?started to go up, the guy by which it was held caught and displaced, the grapnel, which fell from the car. In its descent it struck upon the head of a little boy named Wm. Mottrom, be? longing in Taunton, fracturing his skull. The I g rope having been cut, the grapnel was dragged along and caught one little boy named John Bono under ODO-arm and the chin, and e another named Charlie Jones cst the hip, ll and both were lifted into the air. The c balloon was ascending in a direct line, when a the oronant, bearing the cry, and seeing the boys suspended, cat the rope with & knife, thus giving the little fellows their only chance of es? cape. They bad reached an altitude of forty feet, and lortunately fell into a tree, which greatly broke the force of their descent, and thus saved mt only their lives but their limbs. Both suffered from the concussion. They re? mained insensible fora time, but will recover. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING JULY IS, 1368. The Ratification. It is understood that the members of the State Democratic Committee now in this city will be called together to-day, to consider what is best to be done in regard to the proposed SEYMOUR and BLAIR mass ratifi? cation meeting. This mass meeting will un? doubtedly be held; but it is desired, as already stated, lo defer it until the return of the Sooth Carolina delegation from New York. Ratificat'on meetings are now taking place in every part of the country, and it will not do for our State to be lukewarm in appearance, while in truth she is glowing with anxious expectation. In our political campaign the weapons used by North and West will not.be all-sufficient. We have to deal as much .with the negro as with the white man, and this renders it all the more important to make such a beginning as will encourage our friends an1, fellow citizens, and stimulate them to strain every nerve in the Democratic cause. How the State Voted. The South Carolina delegation ' ia the National Democratic Convention voted as follows : First and second ballots, for AN? DREW JOHNSON, 6 voteB; third ballot, PEN? DLETON. 2, PACKER 1, ANDREW JOHNSON 3; fourth, ballot, ENGLISH 1, PENDLETON 2, AN? DREW JOHNSON 3; fifth ballot, PENDLETON 2, ANDREW JOHNSON 3, J. Q. ADAMS 1; sixth ballot, HANCOCK 6; seventh ballot, ANDREW JOHNSON 6; eighth ballot, PENDLETON 6; ninth to twenty-first ballots, HANCOCK 6. On the twenty-second ballot, also, the 6 rotes of the State were cast for HANCOCK; but when Ohio transferred h?r vote to SEY? MOUR, and State after State made the same shange, the Hon. J. B. CAMPBELL, chair? man of the South Carolina delegation, arose ind said : "He was from a-State which felt "most heavily the chains of oppression of "Radical rule. He said South Carolina "came here caring more formen than meas? ures. They were satisfied with the plat? 'form, adopted unanimously, and South 'Carolina, with invocation of God's bless? ing on the party on which, rests the last ?hope of the country, will cast her vote for 'SEYMOUR." Very mind. The New York Times, in speaking of the datform of the National Democracy, says : 'On all but the financial question the plat 'form is Janus-faced. It lacks clearness, 'directness and the force-which springs 'from positive ideas, rather than from 'phrases not dexterously chosen. It is, 'altogether, the ri flex of demagegism, in? stead of statesmanship, and is not calcu? lated to inspire confidence in the capacity 'of the Democratic party to satisfy the 'urgent wants of the country." The Times, with wilful blindness, has tas fail.. i to s. J the following declarations aile platform to which it refers : ?Amnesty for all past political offences, nd the regulation of th? electivo franchise a the States by their citizens." "Equal taxation of every species of prop rty according to its real value, includiog pvernment bonds and other public secu ities." "One currency for the government and he people, the laborer and*the office-holder, he pensioner and the soldier, the producer ad the bondholder."'. "The subordination of the military to the i vii power, to the end that the usurpations if Congress and the despotism of t*e sword* nay cease." "We regard the Reconstruction acts (so ailed) of Congress as usurpations, and uncon tttutional, revolutionary and void." This last is the keystone of the fabric, or as General FRANK P. BLAIR, the Demo ratio nominee for vice-President, said in tis letter to Colonel BRODHEAD, before the neeting of the National Convention : "To 'put this issue plainly to the country, I 'repeat that the real and only question 'which we should allow to control' us is: ' 'Shall we submit to the usurpations by ' 'which the government has been over ' 'thrown, or shall we exert ourselves for its ' 'full and complete restoration ?' It is 'idle to talk of greenbacks, gold, the pub? lic faith, and thc public credit. What can 'a Democratic President do in regard to ?any of these with a Congress in both -branches controlled by the carpet-baggers 'and their allies ? He will be powerless to 'stop the supplies- by which idle negros are 'organized into political clubs; by which 'an army is maintained to- protect these 'vagabonds in their Outrages upon the bal dot. These, and things like these, eat up 'the revenues and resources of the govern 'ment, destroy its credit, and make the dif? ference between gold and greenbacks. We 'must restore the conslitusion before we can re? store the finances, and, io do this, wc must 'have a President who will execute the icill of Hhepeople, by trampling .into dust ihe usurpa? tion of Congress, known as thc Reconstruc? tion acts." * If these utterances are not clear, distinct ind forcible to the apprehension of the Dimes, what dees it think of the shuffling, ivasive and double-dealing resolutions of he Chicago Radical Convention ? Ncvr Books. )EAD SEA Faun. A Novel, by M. E. Braddon. New York : Harper & Bros. 1868. Charles? ton : Holmes' Book House. This novel of Miss BRADDON'S is distin uished amongst its kind by the curious i rc um 3 tan ce that its plot is not founded on ither bigamy, forgery, or murder. It is rue that Eustace Thorburn is, until the Lose of the book, a man without a father, ad there is a suspicion of trouble in the Platonic friendship which exists between Mrs. Jerningham and Lawrence Desmond; but there is no studied or implied justifica? tion of evil-doing, no new formula for de? serving and avoiding the gallows; the book is, nevertheless, 6tirrine and interesting Daniel Mayfield is an attractive, though not original character, the inevitable dash of theatrical life gives color and variety, and the picture of the foolish jealousies and bit? ter reproaches of fair Mrs. Jerningham is painfully real. Upon the whole,-light and Bketchy as it is,-we prefer "Dead Sea Fruit" to any other of the works of Miss BRADDON which has come under our notice. For sale at HOLMES' Book House. King street. THE UNITED STATES bonds known as the 'five-twenties," have their interest made payable in coin, but the "ten-forty" bonds are payable, principal and interest, in coin, by the terms of the law under which they were issued. According to the Democratic platform, the principal of the "five-twen? ties" will be paid in lawful money, i. e., greenbacks-or in coin, when specie pay? ments are resumed. These bonds are held for the most part in Europe, so that upon the foreign bondholder will fall the loss arising out of payment of the principal in a depreciated currency. The "ten-forty" bonds are, with few exceptions, held in America, and the holders here have less to fear from Democracy than from a Radicalism which would force the country to general repudiation. ? WHEN WILL our wise and noteworthy Legislature take up the question of pay ? They received eleven dollars per diem in Charleston, and may as well take twenty dollars now. The money which g^oes into the pocket of the carpet-bagger comes out of the pocket of the property holder; why, then, should there be any delicacy in making politics pay? General WADE HAMPTON and Ex-Governor PEERY made stirring speeches at a Demo? cratic mass ratification meeting in New York on Tuesday night. When shall we hear these gentlemen in Charleston ?

PLOSIONS ARISES FROM A DEFICIENCY OF WATER IN THE BOILER WHILE IN ACTION. EXPLOSIONS FROM DEFICIENCY OF WATER. Low water in steam boilers ls no unusual occur? rence. Imminent danger frequently arises from this cause. aLd it cannot be too forcibly impressed upon tho minds of engineers, that there is no part ot' the apparatus constitu? ing the mountings of a boiler which requires greater attention than that which sup? plies it wi'h water, In a properly constructed boil? er over}-part of the metal exposed to the action of j the Art." should be in immediate ceutact with the wa t-r, and when proper provision is made to maintain the water at a suflrSent height above tho parts so exposed, accidents can nover occur from this cause. Should the water, however, get low from defects in the pump, and the surface over the fire i.ecome over? heated, then, even at Oie ordinary working pres.-urc, there is great danger of au explosif n. Thei e tc no occasion, under such circumstances, lo search furth? er for the cause ot' explosion, from the tact that the material, when overheated to a certain degree loses about five-sixths of its strength, a,'d is, therefore, unable to resist the internul prc-sure. When a boiler becomes short ot water, thc first thing usuil ly doue is to put the feed pump in action; this cer? tainly remedies the deficiency, but increases the danger, and may lead to the explosion of the boUer. Ashcroft'? Low Water Detector Is eminently fitted to guard against accident? caused by low water. Itnccds uot the caro or attention ot the engineer or tireiuan to keop it m order. Opera? ting by the loree of natural laws, it takes i-are ot 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 magizine ot power on which it is placed, and not only guards it, but notifies the -attendant, if he is forgetful or negligent of his duty. JOHN F.
