"At the opera last week," says a correspondent of The Queen, 'T counted five very young married women all powdered.

' -A New York paper says: "The new tartan plaid suits on Broadway are perfectly charm? ing. There is a good deal of the Helen..

It was claimed by Northern artillery offioers in Charleston that the "Swamp Angel" threw shots from bo low Fort Sumter into the upper part of the c y, a distance of seven miles. -The gold fields said to havo been discover? ed near Bliinebeck, Duchess County, New York, were recently examined by a party of engineers with satisfactory results. The evi? dence of the existence of gold is behoved to bo undeniable. The ore ?B deeoribed as a ferrugi. nous quartz with the metal interspersed. Tho veins, it is claimed, are more extensive than those of North Carohna, and form a part of the ".tjriferouB deposits extending from Nova Scotia to Georgia. The extensivo outlay of capital required to work the gold minos of Georgia and the Carolinas, it is highly pi .ba? ble, will also be demanded in Now York. -The artificial island now in courso of con? struction in the lower part of the bay of Now York, will, when completed, comprise an area of about two acres. To protect its outer edges, massive cribs, thirty feet wide at the base and twenty feet at tho top, made of oak timbers, firmly jointed, have been so sunk as to leave about ten feet above high-water mark. These, in turn, have been filled with heaw blocks of stone, and the outer service of ?he entire structure has been faced with oak plank? ing, closely eet. As an additional protection, massive stones have been heaped ag:.inst tho outer face of the wall, at its most exposed points, and the bulwark is deemed perfectly secure. Within this inclosuro sand and croken stonos have been thrown, and pilos aro being driven upon which to erect tho hospitals and other necessary buildings. -A gentleman who has been present at tho performance of many earthquakes, including the one which recently carno off in San Fran? cisco, gives a singular and interesting account of the effect of an earthquake on men, women and ch?dron, and domestic fazlz and animals. He says that, as a rule, men rrn into the streets laughing, while women and children sink down and cry piteously and hysterically. Horses genetaly snort with terror and dash madly away. Cattlo bellow and run wildly about. Sheep huddle close together and stand still. Dogs bark vociferously and run hither and thither without an apparent object. And, according to the testimony of a lady who was standing in her yard feeding her poultry when I the shock of the San Francisco earthquake ' was first felt, the hens and chickens all ran away and took to the hen house as though a shower had occurred, while her only turkey ran toward her, and, lying flat down at her feet, looked up into her face as if imploring protection. BP-The story goes that Commodore Richard W. Meade, an officer well kuown to the navy, is confined in the Bloomingdalo Lunatic Asy? lum in consequence of exerting too forcibly his parental prerogative of objecting to thc marriage of his daughter. It is 6aid that he took umbrage at tho report that an accepted suitor for his daughter's hand h id marlo her acquaintance while ou a regular wife-nuntin" expedition, instead of meeting by chance, usual way, and that be therefore advised bridegroom togo for an undertaker instead of clergyman. Commodore Meade was then raigned before a police justice and placed tinder bonds to keep tho peace; but as soon as these w.;re furnished he was again arrested and senl to Bloomingdale under thc ccrtificato of two Toombs physicians. Then thc marriago tool, placo. An attempt has been made to secure his release on a writ of h ibias coipvs, but the judges were so busy with thoso terrible Erie fellows that they could give no attention such matters at present. Meantime frionds the Commodore have visited him and pro nounce bim as sano as the majority of men outside of the asylum. Ono of his counsel states that "physicians and others who have seen the Commodore since his confinement are rca to make oath as to his sanity, aud every diligence is being used by his friends obtain his releaso, believing as they that a desire to break bis will, by which it is said bc has digi nh or i ted certain-members of his family, has led to this most infamous persecution. Indeed, so positive have been the assertions of all who have seen him, other than thoso interested in his confinement, as to his perfect sanity, that his family have ordered that no ono, not even his legal advisers, bo al lowed to see him. These instructions tho offi cers of the asylum have carried out to tho let ter, and thero is great danger that tho inhu man treatment to which he is subjected may bring about the result which his family seem to desire, namely-his actual iusanity." An investigation will shortly tako place at which thc matter will bo fiually decided upon. CHARLESTON. .0 TUESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 18(38 Tile Completion of thc Savannah and charleston Railroad and its Effect upon thc State. We explained yesterday that the Savan n?-h and Charleston Railroad,-which cost before the war, three million of dollars and has now for its only debt the bonds guaranteed by the State, amounting, with the accrued interest, to less than eight hun dred thousand dollars,-is now before the Legislature asking for authority to issue first mortgage bonds for five hundred thou sand dollars (o secure the prompt comple tien of the road. We stated, in general terms, that in this instance the interests of the State, of this city, of the bondholders and of the stockholders, who now control the road, were one and the same; and now propose to give our reasons for asserting that the opening of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad must be of vast advan? tage to tue public at large, and especially to the residents of the thickly-settled coun ties through which it chiefly passes. At present, the only communication be? tween Charleston and Savannah is by steam? er, or by railroad via Augusta. The length of the journey by rail, and the dislike which many persons have to even the short? est trips by sea, have checked the current of travel between the two cities, until Sa? vannah his been made to seem almost as difficult of access as New York or Balti? more. Eut as soon as a journey of four or five hours' duration is all that separatee Savannah from Charleston, travel will re? commence with more than its old force, and will soon prove a source of profit to the merchants of both cities. There is, beyond this, the through passenger travel, which is of far more importance than the travel between Charleston and Savannah. Last year more than ? te thousand persons tra7 elled from the North to Florida, and return? ed when the warm season began. This year it is expected that at least twelve thou snnd persons will visit that State; and the large majority of these would indubitably pass over the railroad from this city to Sa? vannah if it were open for traffic. There is also in contemplation the establishment of a line of steamships between Florida and Havana, and other West India ports, which would tend to BWCII the volume of passenger travel. And it is not too much to say that the reopening of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, in connection with the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad now open to Bainbridge and being pushed rapidly on to Mobile in a direot line, will complete the easiest, safest and quickest line of travel between the Northern States and the Gulf. The light grades of the seacoast route ad? mit of high rates of speed combined with thorough safety, and, within a few years of the completion of the connections upon this through seacoas' line, we expect to see the trovellcr taken from New York to New Orleans in fifty or fifty-five hours. Many of the through passengers would stay a day or two in Charleston, which would then become one of the chief places on the great through line, and ever)' pas? senger would, directly or indirectly, con? tribute something to ike trade and business of the city. Every dollar added to the' value of real estate here, and every addi? tional dollar of business done, is a benefit to thc -rrhole State, because the taxation is upon the value of property and tho amount of business traDESiicsL As Charleston grew rich so would the general ratio of tax? ation bc lesseued, while there would be but few parts of the State which would not feel sensibly the hapi.y effects of her growth and good fortune. But even these thing3 would be as noth? ing ia comparison wita the gain to the low country, by thc opening up of the now rail? road linc-for new it will assuredly be in system, management and policy. Thc Sa? vannah and Charleston Railroad traverses one of the richest and most fertile* sec!ions of the State. Cotton and rice arc now raised there in large quantities, and (heir production mu?t be greatly increased by improved railroad communication; and there is a mine cf wealth in the virgin pine for eats, which are probably the finest on the continent. Already the pine forests of the North and of the British colonies have been cleared so far from thc water courses that the cost of hauling to the river sides swal? lows up the greater part of the usual profit. Lumber must be had, and in the region be? tween Charleston and Savannah, with the railroad open, it can bc cut to botter ad? vantage than in any other place of which we have knowledge. In addition, there would bc naval stores, of which the pro? duction need only be limited by the labor bestowed upon them. In the same region may be grown many kinds of tropical fruits, which would find a ready market hero and in the North, forming, with the cultivation of early vegetables, a business of large profits upon a small outlay. All these benefits of local passenger traffic, of through passenger traffic, of tho increased pro? duction of cotton and rice, of the foun? dation and development of a trade in lumber, and of the establishment of the business of cultivating fruits and vegeta? bles, would grow out of the early comple? tion of the Savannah and Charleston Kail road. And if these were not enough, we might call in the phosphate rocks to turn the scale; for there is reason for believing that they also may be found in the region whose immense resources fr? have striven to describe. The value of this to the city and State, and to the now impoverished colored popu? lation of the low country, it is not difficult to see. TUE PROPOSITION to make the intercst'and principal of the State debt payable in New York seems to be a good one. We do not doubt that within three years South Caroli? na bonds will sell at par. Cincinnati is moving in the Blue Ridge Railroad matter, we are glad to see. Th 3 particulars of what ii proposed to bo done with the debt of thc State will be found in our Columbia letter, published this morning. IT WILL bo seen by our Columbia corres? pondence that steps are being taken for the redemption of the "Fire Loan" bonds and for the conversion of the stock of the Slate. THE REPORT of the Commissioner of Agri? culture for the year ending Novembor 30, says that the system of agricultural collogcs is yet in its infancy, and much difficulty is experi? enced in getting competent men for thoir man? agement, but tbc commissioner believes that theso schools will ultimately prove powerful co-laborers wi* h his department in advancing the agricultural interests of the country. Ho Sods matter of genera) encouragement in the fact that moro s.ablo views and systematic practico with respect to farming are begiiininj to provail throughout the country; that thero is a laudable disposition in tho South to pro? duce meat and broad, and held cotton as a surplus; that farming is now held iu greater esteem than it.was a few years ago ; that West? ern farmers aro learning to practico rotation of crops. He alludes to thc morbid tondency in thc South since tho closo of tho war to emi? grate to Mexico, Central America and Brazil, and says that ho has done ali ho could to counteract it ; that tho discordant social and business olemonts arc being tranquillized ; that Northern capitalists are beginning to seek an eu'.raneo to the Southern States, and that tilings generally at the South are much moro promising than they wero last year. He thinks that fully $40,000,000 worth of cotton has been destroyed by tho worm, but that wo shall still show a yield of from 2,000,000 to 2,309,000 bales. Mn. HENRY SEDLEY, who has long beon the chief oditor of that admirable journal, tho Round Table, has now become its solo proprie? tor, and will continue to conduct it in tho samo spirit and style as heretofore, but with varioua improvements which will add greatly to its in? terest and value. While thoroughly indepen? dent inletters as woll as in politics, though m respect of the latter rather giving its sympa? thies *o theDemoeratic party, the Round Table Iras gained ti high position in our periodical literaturo. It has solved with success to itself | the problem whether a weekly journal of ele? vated character, devoted to original criticism in all spheres of public concernment, could exist in this country. It has combined dignity of character with ample irocdom of discussion, and independence of feeling with good man? ners; and with thorough scholarship it has known how to bo always fresh, interesting and attractive. Among tho new features which aro promised, is a regular review of public amuse? ments; a chess department, to be conducted by an oxpert (Mr. Sedley is himself one of tho first chess players of the world J ; and a suc? cinct summary of thc news of tho day. THE NEWS FROH HAVANA indicates an oarly closo of tho Cuban insurrection. Several chiefs and agents of the insurrectionists havo arrived at Havana as prisoners of war. Dr. Felix Figurodo, a rebel chief, addressed his band after tho battle at Cobre. He assured them that the cause was lost, and urged them to ac? cept the amnesty olfored them. His fallowers, however, declined to act upon his advice, whereupon ho, exclaiming that ho did not wish to aid in the ruin of his country, pointed a pistol at his bead and blew out his brains. It is not improbable that the next news from Cuba will hiing intelligence of thc end of the revolt. IT is NOTEWORTHY that no rogrot is express, ed, even by tho Republican journals, at tho burning of Fort Lafayette. The Now York Titnes frankly says : ,lIt had beon utterly use? less for military purposes, aud the memories ot our civil war connected with it were not such as cither sido cares to cherish. Rebels and thoso who sympathized with thom, a.id who had suffered imprisonment within its walls, oTcd it a special grudge, and regarded it as a relic of tho 'tyranny' ander which they had suffered-and loyal men look.d upon ii, as upon many of the other agencies of (he war, with a good dca', more of respect than affection. But pretty much everybody is glad it has gone, and nobody desires to have it rebuilt." A PROPOSITION has just been made to aban? don the catiro existing system of collecting tho revenue, und assess direct taxteupon thc State??. Thc seliomo requires that but ono assessment and ratio ofbusiiicss, profits and incomes should bc made, and a just proportion of thc required revenue apportioned, in accordance with stich assessment and ratio, to thc respective States, to ba collected by officers duly elected aud charged with thc duties ol'collecting under thc laws thereof. Tan MOOILE CCGISTBB thinks that Southern planters are better off to-day than they wero before tho war. They are freo from debt, and receiving int ra for their cotton than ever be? fore. Formerly they wero always one crop in debt, end belonged to their factors. Now they have learned economy, and aro their own mas? len. niants. NURSE WA-?TOD-WANTED, A CA?
