ner of King and Society streets.
THE PAVEMENTS AGADL-Since the aothori
tiee have repaired the objectionable sidewalk
.on East Bay, it would be well for them lo turn
the street brigade in another direction. The
weat side of King-street, between Calhoun and
Yanderhorst, is in a very bad condition-the
.-sidewalk is broken and Uneven, and is, in fact, J j
-but s stumbling block and misery.

-tinguished before it had made much headway,
.though the stock was considerably injured by
the quantity of water thrown. The fire origi?

Spanish and West India trade) for a port in j
Coba, with a cargor consisting mostly of flour,
produced from whoat grown in Tennessee,
Georgia and tho Carolinas. It is generally
known that the wheat grown ia this section
makes a better floor for Southern markets
?than any other; and we are pleased to see that
oar merchants are disposed to make an effort
--to place it in foreign ports, where its excellent
quali ties will make it bring the highest price, i
.Part of this cargo was man ufa :t tired by our c
.city mills, and this shipment is the first of the

THE CATERPILLAR ON EDISTO ISLAND_The
- subjoined extract U takon from a letter receiv?
ed by a gentlemen in tail city from a promi?
nent and successful planter of many years' ex?
perience : <,
EDISTO ISLAND, S. C., September 15.-The
destruction of onr crops by tbe caterpillar far
exceeds anything we have ever experienced or
imagined. Ho (thc caterpillar) has become
.one of the institutions ef our country; wo may
-look for bia annual visits as regularly a-] Sara?
toga looks for New York city. We will not
make as mach as last year. One-tenth (l-13iii)
of an average crop is all that we can possibly
make. Your place was eaten oat for breakfast
one morning. My island plantation, whore the
worm scarcely was when I last saw tho clop,
waa swept out in two days; and instead of
ibriy or tifty baga there, I will scarcely get
seven.
-The Cotton Crop of 1867-68.
The New York Commercial and Sbippin
List makes the following annual statement iu
reference to the crop of cotton in 1867-68 :
Bales.
Louisiana. 579 231
Alabama. 366.193
Texas.Uf 666
Florida. 34:639
Georgia. 495,005
South Carolina.t. 240,225
North Carolina. 38,587
Virginia (in this is included 20,000 bales
manufactured in State). 187,487
Tennessee, including 10,000 for amount
raised in lUinou, Missouri, &o. 374,860
Total bales....2.430,893
This does not include anything t'or^hithern
manufactures south of Virginia.
They estimate the amount used north
of the Ohio and Potomac at. 799,817
Taken for use soutu of the Potomac and
Ohio Rivers. 163,318

The sea islaud crop ia put down as follows :
Florida.10,114

Total bales.20.927
The Commercial and Financial Chronicle
makes the crop.2,438,895
Consumed in the South . 60,000
Total.;2,498,895
'The New York Shipping List puts down
the crop of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, ?c.,
at.;.10 000 bales.
The Financial Chronicle at.15,000 bales
The former places the shipments overland
from other points than Memphis and Nash
ville at. 90,844
The lutter at.116,000
The above figures would indicate a larger
growth than some of our readero have been es?
timating; but the uncertainly has arisen large?
ly from the want of reliable data in reference to
the Western cotton seut up stream aud by
rail overland; anl we are not without suspi?
cions that the 90,844 bales, as reported in the
Shipping List, or 116.000, as put down in
the Chronicle, may be somewhat forced up.
More specific information in reference to this is
i caira ble, as well as the growth of Illinois, &c.
THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX -The 21st of Sep?
tember marks the time when the reign of Sum?
ner is supposed to be ended and Autumn, all
n yellow clad, assumes its sway. At this time
he gr?a? circle which the sun appears to des?
cribe in the beavens crosses the equator. The
lays and nights are now nearly equal, but the
brm er will heareaf ter gradually shorten until
he 21st of December, when the winter solstice
a reached.
The Autumnal Equinox is aptly spoken of by
he "Bard of Avon" as
"The year growing ancient,
No: yet on Summer's death, nor on the birth
Of trembling Winter."
A SENSIBLE STEP.-IQ New Orleans, we see,
i movement is on foot looking to an organized
plan for distinguishing between those among
the colored people who are our friends and
those who are against us. It is proposed that
every member of a club shall take under , his
special care one or more colored men who de?
sire to go with the Democratic party, and shall
bave bia or their names enrolled upon books
kept by the clubs for that purpose, that he
shall Hccompany them to the polls on the day
of election, and alter bavin? seen them de?
posit their votes, issue them certificates to
the effect that they have voted, the Democratic
ticket, that their Dames are enrolled upon the
Dooks of such a club, and asking that they re
:eive the support and encouragement of all
;ood Democrats in the city aud State. Is it
not high time that some such systematic dis
crimination were instituted here-that the
line should be drawn between our friends and
our foes, between those who are actively striv?
ing to compass the ruin of the community and
those who, seeing their interests are identi?
cal with ours, desire earnestly to work for
the success of the Democracy? Charity be
gins at home, and our own people need all the
encouragement we can give them.
THE DEMOCBACY OF ST. JAKES' SANTEE.-In
pursuance of a previous call, a portion of the
citizens o? the Parish of St. James' Santee as
sembled at Mo Ciel lan ville on tho 27th ult., for

md C. V. 8. Wilson, for vice-Presidents; and
4.. Shoolbred, fjr Secretary. The President,
upon taking the chair, thanked his fellow-citi?
zens for the honor conferred, and after feeling
ingly alluding to the humiliation and suaferiug
to which tho Southern people had bee u reduc
9d by the tyrannical and oppressive legislation
nf Congress, made a stirring appeal to all true

stitution and liberty, to save themselves from

bren living for eomo time with Huggins, aud

high with their fragrant loads are daily coming
to market. The public weigher at the oaBt
end of Calhflun-street has been kept constant?
ly employed during the past few days weigh?
ing the loads that arrived. Tho hay raised
on our meadow lands is fully equal to the

tensive, as large quantities are now received
by every arrival from Northern ports.

PRESENTATION TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
STOJTCIWALL FEUE CO HP AMY_The Stonewalls
and a fow invited guests met yesterday eve?
ning, at the Market Hall, to extend a welcome
to their President, Major G. L. Buist, who had
just returned from a tour Northward for his
hoalth. The chief incident of thc reunion was
the presentation by the company of a fireman's
bat and belt to the President, as a t ok en of J
their appreciation of his services, and their
gratification at his return in renewed hoalth
and spirits. After the company had assem?
bled, vice-President John E. Boinest called
them to order, and said :
Mr. President : The pleasing and grateful
duty has been devolved upon ne by my brother
firemen of welc -ming you back in renewed
health and vigor. To your impartial and con?
sistent government the company owes its pre?
sent prosperity, and you are richly entitled to
the sincere esteem of every member. Our
company, though scarcely three years in ex?
istence, has achieved an enviable reputation.
Its dissensions bavo been bat family quarrels,
and though at one time they threatened to de?
stroy oar organization, on your advent as pre?
siding officer the embers were extinguished,
and to you belongs the credit of our present
success, dir, we have determined to show our
esteem for your services by. a small token
whicb, on behalf of the Stonewall Fire Com
?any, allow mo to present to yon. Mr. Presi
ent, we trust that you may long be spared to
wear this hat and belt, and to preside over our
organization. Tho value of the gift is small,
bat we know that it will be appreciated; and
when years have passed, may the sight of the
fireman's' offering prove that you have many
friends, as you now have followers, in the
Stonewall Fire Company.
Ia accepting the hat and belt Maj. Buist
said :
Mr. Vice-President and Gentlemen of the
Stonewall Fire Company :
It has been a source of great pleasure to me
this evening, afier a prot acted absence, to be
permitted to preside over your deliberations,
to greet my friends one and all again; and to
receive at tho same time so unexpected and
substantial s recognition of your approbation
and esteem, is a renewed evidence of your uni?
form kindness and courtesy to me, for which I
can but request you to accept my profound
aadheartielt thanks. You have seen fit re?
peatedly to confer upon me ibe honor of pre?
siding over you. This is a trust that has ever
been highly esteemed by ma, and, sir, if l have
in any degro3 merited the praise suggested
in your aidress, it bas been through tho exer?
cise of an earnest effort to preserve the dignity
and advance the interest of a company entitled,
by virtue or the character, the record of its
members and th: nobility of its exemplar.to the
high and honorable consideration of its fel?
low-citizens. Asa fireman I am proud to bc num?
bered with you. No disturbing politicil ele
meut can, by your constitution, ever enter our
organization. We are pre-eminently dedicated
to preserve the peace of mind and prosperity of
oui- fellow-citizjns. It has ever been my "ob?
ject to carry out -the principles that shall
prove me worthy of the trust you have con?
fided in mo. 1 feel indebted to the cordial co?
operation of my bro'her officera and members
for the present high success to whicb you have
attained. In accepting this valuable testimo?
nial, 1 do so with the knowledge tnat it comes
from those who are ever ready to perform their
duty. I f.coept it with pride as comiin from
mea who have done all that men eau dare to
lo, andi shall cherish it always as a momento
af the happy hours we have spent together.
The hat and belt were made by Mr. F. F.
Ohapeau, who is the unfailing friend ol' the
ireman in such emergencies. Tbe hat is hea?
dily libbed, and is finished in the highest style.
The shield iu front is white, and boars the lol-'

KrsUlae College.
To tilt Editor of the Xeus:
In these days, when cvorything is in so un
ettled a condition, it may bo that some of
our readers will be inquirios lor a college in
he up-country, where they can safely, and on
easonable terms, educate their sous. To
inch the following extract from a letter written
n July last by Ju'igo Wardlaw, of Abboville,
n relation to Erskine College, may be of inter
ist. For the eako of such persons we hope you
rill give it an insertion in your widely circuit?
ed and exoel len traper. The Jutjge says:
I have made particular inquiries about Er
skine College, and can with confidence give
the in form i? ti on you desire. It ie only eleven
miles from my home. I have watched it from
its first establishment; have known all its
teachers, and have frequently attended its
public exercises.
You know my lons continued and devoted
attachment to the South Carolina College, now
University; but the future of that is uncertain;
and, in any event, there will be many persons
who, from various considerations, will prefer
some other institution.
I know no other in which industry and econ?
omy can be rewarded by 60 good opportunities
for a good education, at a cheap rate, as in Ers?
kine College.
Due West, to which the College aDd its ad?
juncts, the Theological Seminary and the Duo
Weet Female College, give existence, is a pleas?
ant village, decidedly healthy, in a populous
neighborhood ot orderly, substantial farmers.
The officers of the college are, and always
have boen, zealous, earnoat men, doing good
rather with a view to future consequences than
to their own present advantage. What they
and the trustees have accomplished with small
pjcuniary means is leahy am -zing. The build?
ings, library and apparatus are visible monu?
ments of their well directed labors; but in their
graduates, now nearly three hundred in num
bor, they must find the most satisfactory com?
pensa'ion ior their exertions and strcrinces.
Erskine is a denominational insti ution, un?
der the supervision of the Associate Reformed
8.? nod, but there is nothing sectarian in its
teachings or managem nt. Many sects are
represented by its graduates and students, and
it ia pleasant to observe that about the Col?
lege, as in this whole community, liberality
and courtesy mark the intercourse between

The endowment which bad been laboriously
acquired for Erskine College has been almost
destroyed by failure of the banks, in whose
stocks'it was invested. The Trustees, strug?
gling with the difficulties of tho times, have
roopened the College after six years of sus?
pension, have arranged a scheme for obtain?
ing four thousand dollars or more a year, by
the subscription, on or before tho 1st of Oc?
tober next, of two hundred or more persons,
each of whom shall bo bound to pay twenty
dollars a year for five years. For every twenty
dollars thus p?d, a subscriber is to be entitled
to the tuition of a student in the College tor
ono >ear at any time after payment, and within
five years, so that a subscriber may reasonably
calculate that, by sending bis own son, or
assigning his right to others, he will make
profit as well as promote a valuable purpose.
I scud an extract from a late catalogue, which
shows that, besides clothing, all thc expenses
of a student mav be met by from ono hun?
dred and fifty to"one hundred and eighty-five
dollars a year.
I can add that the students declare them?
selves satisfied with the boarding and accom?
modations.

We have, after long study and many experiments,
ra'receded in producing what we claim to be the
BEST BITTERS AND MOST PLEASANT BEVER?
AGE in us?, compounded as they are of the most
valuable ingredients known to Pharmacy. As a
'IONIC AND APPETIZER it has no equal-reliable
in all BILIOUS DKEANGEMENS, resulting from
miasmatic influence.3, so prevalent at thc South, and
change of diet, climate and water. In offering to
the Southern public our great TONIC AND BEVER?
AGE, wc only ask tor it a fair trial, feeling assured
its own merits will coon ensure its becoming a favor?
ite at thc south. It has all thc pleasing qualities of
a "Liqueur,*' and though under a small volume, is
four times mere active Ui:?n other prena rations. It
is almost indispensable for r constituting the. blood
tn females suff-iring from debility and loss of appe?
tite, and for persons exhausted by nervous excite?
ment or over-exertion. The benefit of these Bitters
are felt immediately. Dose is a wine glass foll before
