RECEPTION OF THE CHINESE EMBASSY BY'QUEEN VICTOBIA. LONDON, November 21.-At a reception of the Chinese Embassy by the Queen, Lord Stanley introduced Mr. Burlingame, who brief? ly addressed her Majesty in the name of the Emperor of China, and expressed a desire that the health and happiness of the Queen and people over whom she presided should be long and lasting. He spoke in the highest terms of the late Sir Frederick Bruce. In the course of his remarks he made a graceful allusion to the well known friendship of her Majesty for the United States. In conclusion, he presented letters of credence from the Emperor of China. Her Majesty, evidently pleased, received the document, and addressing Mr. Burlingame, said ehe was glad to welcome the Chinese Em? bassy to Great Britain. She was pleased to greet Mr. Burlingame and mission, and ex? pressed a belief that it was a step in the right direction. Mr. Burlingame then introduced bis associ? ate ministers and the secretaries to the Queen. The interview throughout was marked by the utmost cordiality. At a magnificent luncheon afterwards served in the Castle, Lord Stanley expressed himself as perfectly in accord with Mr. Burlingame's sentiments relative to China. It was, he said, true that a certain degree of op? position, originating in ignorance of the real object of the Chinese mission, coupled with a desire to adhere to the old tradition of British coercion policy, met Mr. Burlingame on his arrival in England, but this had passed away. Mr. Burlingame, by his dignified course and feeling, the grandeur and importance of the high trust confided to him, bad conducted himself in such a manner as completely to dis? arm opposition and create not only a favorable opinion for China, but for the United States; and while acting as the representative of the Emperor of China, his dignified bearing and progressive ideas showed him as a true type of the representative American. Lord Stanley concluded by expressing tho belief that the cordial principles which are fast influencing tho nations of the world have changed enemies into friends. Altogether the reception of tho Chinese Em? bassy by Queen Victoria was most handsome and calculated to impress the members of the mission favorably in their idea of the British nation.

The Opening of thc Regular Session? Good Feeling Prevailing-Chances of Reed and Simpson Being Admitted to Seats In Congress--Govcrao ? Scott's Re? turn-What he Says of hit Reception at the North-The Readlneis of North? ern Capitalists to Help South Carolina. United States Court-Personal. [FROM OUB OWN CORESPONDENT. I COLUMBIA, S. C.,- November 23, 1868.-The General Assembly convenes in regular session at 12 M. to-morrow (Tuesday.) Should Lhere be a quorum the message of tho Governor will probably not be communicated before Wed? nesday. It is said by the knowing ones that it will b3 vory short, and relato almost entirely to matters of business. lu relation to political matters th*rc appears to be a better feeling existing between tho politicians of both parties, which is loading to the discussion ot differences of opinion in a surprisingly pleasant and friendly manner. It is contended, by the leaders of tho Repub? lican {Kitty, that neither tho Hon. J. P. Recd for tho Tnird, nor Hon. W. D. Simpson for the Fourth Congressional Districts, though each elected by some five thousand majority, will be able to take their seats. They artrue that under the decision madn by Congress in tho Kentucy election caso, the votes given for can? didates disqualified by the fourteenth article or amendment to the constitution will be consider? ed as nonentities, and that Mr. Hogc-who, by the way. writes his name Huge so as not to be miatcien for Hog-and Mr. Wallace will be de? clared elected and admitted to seats. Others think that a new election will bo orderod. The friends of Mr. Reed and Mr. Simpson on the other hand argue that Geueral Grant will urge pacific measures with the view of intro? ducing harmony into the country. It is be? lieved that his inaugural will breathe such a spirit as to causo tho Houso of Representatives to admit Messrs. Reed and Simpson, both of whom, though Democrats, have, it is claim oJ, accepted tho situation. Mr. Reed's speech, delivered at Anderson, has elicited tho admi? ration of botb parties, and a numbjr of promi? nent Republicans aro advocating thc removal of his political disabilities. Governor Scott, whom your correspondent met on the cars toturuing to Columbia, looks well after bis visit. Ho has brought with h^m from Ohio his family, who left Charit ston last summer for their health, and the Gubernato? rial mansion will therefore be graced during thc winter by thc presence of the Governor's wife. The Governor says that he has conversed extensively with scntk-uica of tho highest position and wealth at tho North and West, and they were all of the opinion that the only way to revive thc fallen fortunes ol tho State, is foe, the poople ol intelligence in the State to cease to look with distrust and seora on Northern people who settle in tho State and bring their capital ; iu other words, not to satirize them as "carpet-baggers" or to ridicule them if thoy sec fit to become candi? dates for office. They told the Governor that as long as that feeling existed, or unless the people became more cosmopolite in their ways and customs, tho State would remain in its present half-way disorganized condition and could possess no credit abroad. The Governor hopes that as General Grant has been elected by so overwhelming a majority thc old feeling will wear away, and that General Grant, in ad? ministering the government, will be able to shape bis courso so as to create a conciliatory disposition bclweeu all parties. The Governor also states thai leading rail? road men and capitalists, worth ten and twolvo milhou dollars, aro anxiously awaiting the thorough establishment of civil law in the State, when they aro ready to give their money aud energies in any nu hoad enterprise in the South which has a shadow of promise ot being safe and profitable to thenisslvcs, as well as to thc communities to bo benefitted by their con? struction. All they want to be assured of is that tho old citizens recognize fully the laws passed by Congress and tho Legislatures of thc various States, and will act up to them faithfully. Governor Scott has no doubt what? ever of bein? ablo to go on to the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, if thc present peace of thc State be maintained, and the people for? get, Inc the time, all political issues, and de? vote themselves to their material interests. Thc regular term of tho United States Court opens here to-day. Judgo Bryan is expected to-morrow. Tho ever courteous and gentle? manly clerk, Daniel Horlbeck, Esq., to whom tho members of the bar and the press are under many and great obligations, is here ; also Mr. Eppicg and a number of his deputies.

Johnston, President of Charlotte and South Cr.rolina Railroad, is h< He informs me thal the Columbia and ?ugu Railroad will be completed as far as Gran ville to-morrow.

IMPORTANT FROM PARAGUAY. Official Documents Received at Wash? ington- Minister Washburn - Inter? view of Commander Kirkland with Lopez. The Navy Department at Washington ia in receipt of voluminous dispatches from Rear Admiral Davis, commanding the South Atlantic squadron, giving tull particulars of the expedi? tion of the United States steamer Wasp to Para? guay to relieve Minister Washburn, together with letters giving much information as to the situation of affairs. The dispatches ave of such a nature that they cannot be made public. It may be mentioned, however, that nothing ap? pears to justify the apprehension expressed in tho papers as to the treatment of Mr. Bliss and another member of tbe legation (Mr. Master? man) as will bo seen by tbe subjoined extract from Commander Kirkhrid's letter. Mr. Wash? burn and family wer1 received on board the Wasp on the 10th of September, that vessel iemaining at her anchorage until the 12th, her commander iu the meantime having had a friendly interview with Lopez. Commander Kirkland says : Oa thc morning of the 9th at one A. M., I received the letter, No. 19, from his excellency, Mr. Washburn. On thc tenth of September 1 received on board, from a Paraguayan steamer, the Hon. Charles A. Washburn, his wife, child, private secretary, man servant and maid servant. On the eleventh I called on President Lopez at his headquarters, back of Viletta, and took leave of him. Ho expressed the utmost desire to be on friendly relations with the Uni? ted 8tates, deploring, at the same timr>, what ho termed tho unprincipled conduct ot Mr. Washburn. I thanked him for his feelings towards the United Slates, but declined to dis? cuss tbe action of Mr. Washburn. I request? ed him to send a vessel with a flag of truce to escort tho Wasp as far as the Brazilian iron clad, anchored below the batteries at Angostu? ra. This ho cheerfully assented to. I feel bound to add that tho Paraguayans treated this vessel in the most hospitable man? ner, furnishing fresh beef every day, and finit for all hands on several occas ons. In their intercourse with us they were exceedingly civil. On the morning of the 12th I received the letter No. 20 from the Paraguayan Dava) commander, and left Yilletta accompanied by a Paraguayan s: earner carrying a flag ol truce at the fore, as far as the Guardia of Palma, where I found tho advanced division of thc Brazihan squadron. " Commander Kirkland speaks Spanish as fluently as English, which some of our repre? sentatives abroad do not, and was thus enabled to conduct a l his negotiations intelligently, and to arrive at a clear understanding of the views of Lopez. Bear Admiral Davis, as will be seen from the annexed letter, will accompany our newly ap? pointed minister, General McMahon, to Para? guay, and it cannot bo doubted but that, in the hands of both these officers, the honor and in? terest of the United States will be protected : U. S. FLAG SHLP GUEBRIEBE, ) Rio DE JANEIRO, October 26, 1868. J Sir: 1 bavo the honor to inform the depart? ment that I have invited General McMahon, the Minister to Paraguay, and his family to take passage in this ship to tho La Plata. I have alrcaay said, in my communication No. 135. current scries, that I shall accompany him to Paraguay. I shall confer freely with Mr. Worthington, tho Minister to thc Argen'iuc Republic and Uruguay, from whom I shall no doubt obtain information which will servo to modify and mature my plans of proceedings. I shall keep the department constantly and tully advised of my actions. * Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, C. N. DAVIS, Rear Admiral, Commanding South American Squadron. To Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of Navy. Hon. J. Watson Webb, tho United Statos Minister to Rio, has writton a letter, in which ho exonerates Mr. Washburn from all blame for tho course he pursued. A letter from Mr. Washburn, datod Buonos Ayres, October 13, 1868, has just been received in this city, in which ho says : You may have seen the late correspondence 1 havo bad with Lopez. When you consider that tho mon for whom I was fighting were eleven educated gentlemen, and that when they left it was like going to tho guillotine, and that to? wards the last it appeared that no exception would bc made iu rey favor; that I should pro? bably bo put to death by torture; that my wife and child would bo sent on foot to tho moun? tains, to die of want and exposure, you ma, i'udgc something of our last two months in 'araguay. Though we escoj ed, nover did per? sons juit a country with heavier hearts. We felt that all our friends, all who had shown us any particular kindness, would, for that reas.m, bo put to torturo or death by Lo? pez. His plan is that of vicarious punishmonr. If he cannot vent his rage ou a person in his power, his plan is to con?scatc tho property of Iiis relativos, reduce thom to beggary, and subject thom to torture. Powerless nt "last to sei ve any human being, my residence was stir roundedby police and spies, no person, foreign or native, daring to visit us. You will under? stand how we dread to think ot all tbe friends wo left behinc. as victims of tho revenge and cowardice of a blood-thirsty tyrant. Lopez is mad- furious with lus disappointment, and conscious that bis causo is lost, and as his career lia* been but a. series of infamies, ho now seems intent on destroying thc witnesses and blotting out his record. Ho ia thc great? est coward ever known, and it was only through fear that he lot mo go. When Captain Kirk? land, ol' tho Wasp, in response lo his threat that ho intended to hold on to mo, told him t iat if ho dared to touch mo our government would have his head, it it had to hunt him through all Christendom, he then concluded to let mo dop art. For his c induct, as you will porceive, I denounced bim as the com? mon enemy of tho human race, and Para? guay as outside thc pale of civilizod nations. I am remaining herc to eec what can be dono to save the persons seized by Lopez. No ef? fort of mino has beeu, or will be, spared to rescuo the uuforlunato men who were torn from mc un dor circumstances of such peculiar atrocity. For thom 1 kept myself in thc power and endured the hostility of the worst Jiving man; for them I most cheerfully sacrificed health, comfort and fortuno, and ondurod per? secution and insult. I did all that was in my power to do. My house was crowded with fugitives, and I shared with them all I had and in all tho horrors of tbe situa? tion. All parted from mo with the deop e8t feelings of gratitude. Had tho Wasp boen at Asuncion when Bliss and Mas? terton were seized by an overpowering force and dragged away from mo while on my way to thc steamer. I am certain that Captain Kirk? land KOOI'J have pr >mptiy responded to my re? quest and opened on the town, but, as you aro aware, Lopez had kept ber below tho fortifica? tions, a league below Asuncion, in order to have me at his advantage. Of course, in tbe street, with my wife and child, 1 could offer no resistance to that outrage upon my flag. My diplomatic powers had been surrendered, andi could not rosumo them. I had no longer house, nor home, nor protection. HORACE GREELEY O.\ BASE BALL PLAYINO. lu his "Recollections of a Busy Life," Horaco Greeley writes tho following : Ball was a com? mon diversion in Vermont while I lived there; yet I never became a proficient at it. To catch ? flying ball, propelled by a muscular arin straight at mv nose, and coming on so swif.ly that 1 could scarcely seo it, was a feat requir? ing a celerity of action, an electric sympathy ot eye and brain and hand, which my few and far-between hours snatched from labor for recreation did not suflice to acquire. Call it a k..ac!i, if you will; it was quite beyond my pow? ers of acquisition. I like popular amusements, especially tli03e windi dcvelope and strengthen the m?selos; but I do nof'iko tho modern m itch? es made up between club, located hundreds of miles ap irt. According to ny notion, the prize should he awarded iu Ibeso matches to thc side which makes the shorter score. Ia award? ing tho palm for such a contest, count my vote always for tho beaten party. They doubt? less mind their proper busk-ess better, and perform their duties as fainer*, husbands, sons, clerks, journeymen, . pprenticcs, ?tc, moro thoroughly thaii do tho victors. It is an honor not to beat, hut to bo beaton, in a match of this sort." HINTS OX AGRICULTURE. The Poullain System of Cotton Culture. [From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.] Impelled by the uncertainty and inefficiency ol' the present system o? labor, the public mind has been directed to devise and adapt a method of cotton culture which will best meet the habits and characteristics of the careful and skilled emigrant of Europe. Fortunately, our starting point has been propitious. To bring the worn lands of our State into lair competition with the fertile, but unhealthy bottoms of Mississippi was a prob? lem in agricultural science which has hereto? fore commanded the efforts of our best planters and practical men bc.ore the war. Governor Hammond, of Beach Islandia point in close cojncction with our city and in constant com? munication with it), established and maintain? ed an agricultural club for the sole purpose of promoting intercourse, not alone among prac? tical fanners, but also between thc farmer and the factor who handlod tho farmer's products, and who was in direct communication with those who manipulated the products of the farmer's labor-tho raw material. Tho criti? cism and wants of the purchaser was made known through the vendor or factor to tho farmer. The wants of tho manufacturer were made known to the producer, and the problem was to reach it. Each of these wants were made the subject of experiment, and a com? parison of results in friendly club meetings furnished new ideas. But it was reserved for that plain, unassum? ing gentleman and practical planter. David D.ckson, Esq , of Hancock County, of this State, by patient and practical effort, to devise and extend a system which heretofore, more than others, hus obtained popular favor by practi? cal results and impressed itself fully and effec? tually upon the agricultural community. Dick son'sBweeps and Dickson's culture are known everywhere within the State, and generally throughout the South. They have become common expression even in thc mouths of the commonest farra hands now. This has been our starting point. The present problem of tho cotton farmer is to increase production of small areas and de? viso that system which is best adapted to white labor. Tho desire of prout is sufficient stimu? lus to achieve the first of these objects. The constant agitation and disturbance, produced by political excitement and uncertain tics, im? pose the consideration of tho last and at pres? ent absorbing object. These make up the sum of the practical farmer's inquiries-to reduce the area of cultivation and to increaso tho amount and profits of production under such a system of skilled labor as will not be disturbed by political bearing. Very recently the public have been astound? ed by tho results of tho system pursued by Mr. James Bancroft, of Athens, Clark County, Georgia. Mr. Bancroft is, we believe, a na? tivo of Charleston. A merchant by profes? sion, he brings nothing to bis new calling but the habits of early training, of method, of de? cision and of close observation; keeping con? stantly in view tho end desired, and persisting unremittingly in that which would be likely to contribute to that end. Mr. Bancroft's soil is certainly not what is usually styled as rich or fertile ?r free and productive in the South. There aro thousands of a:res in the State just such as he possesses that have lain idle and uncultivated, simply because it was believed it would not pay, particularly since labor enters so directly into tho cost of production and has been rendered so uncertain and expensive. Mr. Bancroft's system, we understand, is simply to convert tho soil into "stilth" by deep and repeated plougbings with the turn plough, tho tine or colter plough, and supply it liberally with such fertilizers as by experiment he has found best suited for tho cotton plant to feed upon during its growth and whilo maturing. Tao thoroughness of preparation ot thc soil frees him from a large part of the usual con? tinuous labor during the heat of summer, by pulverizing it at those seasons which will best destroy interfering growth. His summer's work is light, confinod almost wholly to surface stirring. We learn that ho has arrived at the conclu? sion that Middle Georgia lands can bo made to produce five balos por aero, and yield a hand? some profit upon the capita' employed. It two bales per aero can bo made vith profit, it equals the production of the farmers of thc Missis? sippi bottoms in their palmiest days, and with? out exposure to tho baleful climato of tho Mississippi swamps. Wo would be glad to have under Mr. Ban? croft's proper signature tho details of his viows, and the result of his present crop, which has attracted visitors during its growth from all parts of tho State. The lands of. our State aro its wealth, and be who contributes to making them available to thc highest degrco, contri? butes to general prosperity, and is a public benefactor. Again: wo have before us a circular from Mr. Philip Poullain, late of Greensboro', Georgia, now of Baltimore, covering "a a?hedulc referr elto"' in letters putout grantod in May last, for certain "improved germinating and "trans? planting cup and improvements in tho cultiva? tion of cotton and other plants." Tho improved cuo is the frustrum of a cone, having taper sides, and both ends open. It is simply the or? dinary earthen flower-pot, with both ends open, and inverted-tho larger openiug beiag the base, and thc smaller tho top. Tho larger opening hoing lowest, permits tue cup in trans? planting to bo drawn up over tho plant "with? out disturbing or rupturing thc- roots of thc plant" "by tho a Ihcsiou of soil to the sirlo.-? or walls of tho pot:" and dispenses with tho usc of "devices and transplanting tools" ordinarily employed by gardeners. air. Poullain proposes by his sy.item : 1st. To secure a fidl and c trl.v bottom crop, acknowledged by farmers to bo that which yields tho greatest quantity and the first qual? ity of cotton. 2d. To economiza tho usc of fertilizers, by so placing thc compost aud enriched soil within thc rcaol. of tho plant, as demanded by its na? ture. 3d. To economizo labor, by directing it to tho particular point maintaining thc plant, and confining its chief demands to preparation in late winter and carly spring, and th? peking season. .ith. To increase production byprolonging.at least one month, "tho season for blossoming and maturing the fruit or pod." The objects arc to bo attuned by the follow? ing method : A pit of tho style and character of thc gar? dener's pit (a cabbage plant hot bcd) is made, of dimensions suited to the extent of farming operations, to bc so arranged that its contents will bo protected from frost by glass or can? vas on rollers, or even bv pine-lops; the better tho protection the earlier operations may be commenced, and the more secure the results. A rough shelter near by is erected for cov? ering thc composts ami protecting the hands while filling the cups with compost and plant? ing tho seed. In inclement weather, the force is employed under shelter in filling and planting." Two seeds are placed in each cup, and the cups as planted aro placed Upon a board, or shallow trough or tray, to bc conveyed to the pit at convenience. In favorable weather tho forco is to bo em? ployed as follows: One sot to lay off the land in lurrows eight feet apart, and check it at the same distance. Another set tronches at tho check or intersection, two toet deop, and this is done by tho spado or by an enlarged post auger. Thc third set, with carts or barrows, fill the holes with compost mixed with surface soil. Tho excavated soil docs not foster grass or weeda, and is to be spread around the outer Barraco of tho excavation or hole. Ibo mid? dies are to bo ploughed "out" at leisure. 'Ihe advanced plants, so soon as "alt dinger from frost is ovor," are to bo carried to tho fluid in carts or barrows oa the "boards or shallow trays," unon which they have been first placed, and their transfer lo the intersec? tions is made easy by the snape of the trans? planting cup. Mr. Poullain claims that the saving of the cottou seed to bo used in manuring, and tho saving of labor iu 'thinning to a stand," will pay for "the cost of a transplanting cup" many times over, while thc crop Will be in? sured against summer drouths. Now, whatever may ba the practical result of theso experiments and present theories, public necessity deniauds and public ingenuity will devise a system of cotton culture adapted to thc demands of white labor, and to the hab? its and usages and accustomed modes of labor of the foreign skilled emigrant. LOCOMOTIVE FOB CITY RAILWAYS.-A new method ot applying steam for locomotivo pur? poses on street railways, so as tu avoid the use of fire in tho engine while running on tho streets, was exhibited yesterday on a tempo? rary track of tho establishment of Grico fi Long. Beach-street, above Hanover. In this engine thc necessity far a lire box, smoko stack, &c, is done away with by substituting a strong tank or reservoir for holding water previously heated to a high temperature in a stationary boiler. The water so heated is forced into the locomotive tank, and is capable of giving off an amount of working steam for a considerable length of time, sufficient to drive the engine and draw one or moro cars. The new locomotive weighs about five tons when fully supplied with tho requisite storage of heated water. At the trial, yesterday, it ran 45 minutes making 125 stoppages, and reducing the steam pressure from 80 pounds at starting to 20 pounds when the trial ceased. No noise was made other than the rumble of the wheels over the rails, and the machine seemed 13 bo at all times under tho perf ect control of the engineer, being stopped almost instantly while running at the rate of six miles per hour. The tem? perature of the water is kept up by non-con? ducting jacket three inches thick around tbe tank. It is proposed, in adapting the invention to the street cars, to place a stationary steam boiler at one end of tho road to charge the lo? comotive with a sufficient quantity of hot water to perform tho trip. Philadelphia Ledaer. TALKING CANARY BIRDS.-In a recent num? ber of Once a Week is an account of a talking canary bird at Berlin, which articulates "Wo bist du, mein lichos M?dchen." This pheno? menon, it is stated, has raised a "perfect storm of excitement" at the Ornithological Society of Berlin. A correspondent of the London Athenoum writes that ho is rather astonished at a talking canary bird being suc'.i a wonder, but that perin ps he is biased by old knowledge. "Fifty years ago," he continues, "a sister of mine became possessed of a very young can t ry. Sbo used to amuse herself by repeating to the bird the words 'sweet 1 pretty, pretty, pret? ty, sweet I" One day quite suddenly-tho same thing is said of the Berlin bird-the canary burst out with 'tweet, wichy, wichy, wichy, weet.' From that day he gradually lost bis old song, and at last gave nothing but the above words to the day of his death, which was years after his change of note." JH?rrie?i.
