These were the former colors of Castile. -Whalen, the murderer of D'Arcy McGee, at Ottawa, Canada, is not to be hung on the tenth of January, as sentenced. A writ of error hav? ing been obtained, acts as a stay of proceed? ings, and should a now trial be refused he will be re-sentenced. -The Independence Belgo says that the French Government has just mac c a present to the Roman Government of 20,000 muskets, 6000 of which are Chassepots-an act of gene? rosity which, the Belgian paper thinks, will not be over agreeable to Italy. -A son has been born to General Steinmetz, the bravest of the brave at the battle of Sado? wa. The father, who was born in 1796, ?B 72 years old, and the mother, nee M'Ue de Kro? sigk, one of the most beautiful young ladies in Prussia, just nineteen. -A Washington telegram says : "A number of private letters to Hen. W. W. Boyce, for? merly a member of Congress, report the peo? ple of South Carolina as rapidly recovering from the fearful effects of secession, and that within another year their industrial pursuits will be again established on a firm basis." -.A letter from Cuba says: "On the 4th of ? October General Lersundi received the follow? ing telegram, sent from Pan by the ex-Queen Isabel II: 'I count on your tried valor and loyally to preserve the integrity of those Antil? les, without any change in their political sev? ern ment. Within a few days I shall return to Madrid.'" -A good example of cotton planting has been given by Mr. David Dickson, of Hancock County, Georgia, who will make this year eight hundred bales ou eight hundred acres of land. The net result? will ba about as follows: Eight hundred bales of eotton $80,0u0; less la? bor $20,000 ; manures $10,000 ; contingents 18000; net receipt? $42,000. -The New York Sun strongly distrusts the intentions of the leading member} of the new -French Atlantic cable company, most of whom were rebel sympathizers during the war, and 3aya that "regarded from the point of view of J national feeling, and from that of commercial interest, we do not hesitate to say that the ?hares of this rebel French transatlantic cable company are an excellent investment for pru? dent and patriotic American citizens to let alone." -The leading Jewish ministers o? Philadel? phia have united in publishing a protest against Governor Geary's Thanksgiving proclamation as an "offence against liberty of conscience un? becoming a public functionary, and disgusting to the honor of the noble State he represents." They are offended at the Governor's recom? mendation to the people "to pray that their paths through life may be directed by the ex? ample and instructions of the Redeemer, who 4ied that they might enjoy all the bless . ings," &c. -A late English commercial eircular says : Business has been almost entirely suspended this week owing to the elections throughout the country for the Imperial Parliament. It will bo interesting to the merchants of Ameri? ca to learn, that three Liverpool merchants solely engaged in the trade with the United States (a Rathbone, a Melly and a Brown) have been returned as members of the British Par? liament-men bound by principle and profit to endorse those noble sentimonts everywhere uttered by Mr. Reverdy Johnson, tho Ameri? can Ambassador-sentiments that' have done more for the perfect unity of the New and Old World than all the rod tapo efforts of all tho previous ambassadors put together. -La Vie Parisienne says: "Certain malicious persons have spread the rumor that there is a coolness prevailing between tho Marquis de Caux and bis distinguished consort, and some have even hinted that the couple contemplat? ed a separation. We are authorized to say that these rumors are utterly false; they aro the idle inventions of persons who have in? sulted M'lle Patti for many years past when? ever she achieved a great triumph on the stage. Above all things, it is untrue that there has been any separation in fact between the Marquis and Marquise since their wedding day; they have, on the contrary, spent every day since that happy event in each other's company." -In Gotha it is said that Queen Victoria 13 byno means averse to a marriage with Duke Ernest, Prince Albert's elder brother, a most accomplished and still very fine looking gen? tleman; but, among the numerous obstacles to their union, the most weighty is said to be the august gentleman's objection to it. The gos? sips of Gotha say that the Duke generally leaves Reinhartabrunn when Queen Victoria signifies herintention to visit it, and that, on tho whole, he is by no means pleased with bis Telationabip to the Royal House of England, the conduct of the Prince of Wales at Frank fort and Wiesbaden last year having been so scandalous that none of his Gotha andPrus sian relatives desiro that ho should ever pay another visit to Gerin auy. -A Washington -alter of Sunday, to the Bal? timore Gazette, says: Chief Justice Chase, who has just returned from Bichmond, speaks in flattering terms of the Southern people, so faa-as ho wa9 able to judge"of feelings. He thinks there are no people more loyal, or more anxious for peace and harmony between the two sections; and that if permitted to do so they would very soon recover from the disas? trous results of the rebellion. The action of the Chief Justice in sustaining the motion to quash tho Davis indictment was anticipated m this correspondence, but it was not expected that the vi adie I ive nature of Judgo Underwood would prompt him to dissent and necessitate the question bung certified to the Supreme Court. The Chief Justice thinks there is no doubt about his opinion being sustained by the others members of tho court. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1888. The Cost of Completing the Savannah and Charleston Railroad. It has already been shown that the Sa? vannah and Charleston Railroad, which memorializes the Legislature, not for money, not for a guarantee, but for a simple post? ponement of the statutory mortgage held by the State, will, by its completion, im? prove trade and lessen the general ratio of taxation, and develope the resources of a section of country which has hitherto been comparatively neglected. The question now suggests itself, what will be the actual cost of this great public work which is to exert so important an influence upon the "low country" and the State ? The whole length of the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, from city to city, is one hundred and four miles, er which eighty-nine miles are in South Carolina and fifteen in Georgia. Sixty-one miles of the road to Coosawhatchie are open for traffic, and about pay their operating expenses. At a point distant three miles from Savan? nah the road strikes the Central Railroad, and runs over the track of that company to that city. This reduces tho actual length of the line to one hundred and one miles, of which forty have yet to be opened. But eighteen miles of' track were not dis? turbed during the war, and for this dis? tance only new ties are needed. The estimates for completing the road are : First, for the seotion from the present terminus at Coosawhatohie to the Savan? nah river: and second, for the section from the river to the -junction with the Central Railroad. The first of these is twenty-eight miles in length, and the estimate far rails, tie?, tracklaying and trestlework, is one hundred and fifty-eight thousand dollars. Only ten miles of new iron are required on this section, there being eighteen miles which were not displaced or injured. The second section is ll 57-100 miles in length, and the estimate for its completion, inclu? ding forty thousand dollars for a substan? tial bridge across the Savannah river, ls one hundred and eighty-three thousand one hundred and seventy dollars. So that in round numbers three hundred and fifty thousand dollars in cash would complete the road throughout. With ready money, the road could be opened to the river in a very short time, and the company would at once be able to run from city to city in about six and a half hours-allowing two and a half hours for the trip by steamer from where the bridge stood to Savannah. The road would immediately make a profit on its business. Travel would grow accustomed to the newly opened route, and by the time that the bridge was finish? ed passengers and froight would pour stoad ily over it, and the company would be placed in a Bound and solvent position. Five months' time would see the road opened throughout, at a cost of about three hun? dred and fifty thousand dollars, for want of which sum-one-tenth the actual cost of the road-the whole of the country between Savannah and Charleston is without suffi? cient railroad accommodation, and the peo? ple of the low country are wholl^ unable to better their present unhappy condition. And this sum of three hundred and fifty thousand dellars would set Charleston and Savannah within four or five hours of each other. In consideration of the importance to the State of the Savannah and Charleston Rail? road, the oompany might have gone before the Legislature and demanded, upon public grounds, a State guarantee of new bonds to enable them to reopen their road, which, however profitable it may hereafter become, will always give the community at large a hun-Jred-fold what it gives to its stockhold? ers. But the company did not do this, nor would they have asked for any help if they could have finished the road without assis? tance. This, however, was impossible, and they now beg the Legislature to allow the claim of the State upon the road to be over? ridden by a new mortgage for half a million of dollars. The Legislature can do this without imperilling its own safety, for the whole debt of the road would then be-say : New first mortgage bonds, first lien.. .$500,000 Bonds guaranteed by State, seoond lien 505,000 Arrears on interest on do. 250,000 $1,255,000 Upon which the annual interest would be, five hundred and five thousand dollars, at six per cent., thirty thousand three hun? dred dollars, and seven hundred and fifty five dollars, at seven per cent, fifty-two thousand eight hundred dollars, making a total annual charge fer interest of-say eighty-three thousand dollars. This the road, when completed, could meet without difficulty, as a glance at thc earnings of similar railroads will shew. The gross earnings of the Northeastern Railroad are over three thousand dollars per mile, and the same rate would give the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, which connects with it, a gross receipt of three million dollars, and and a net income of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, ?qual to seven per cent, interest on about two and a quarter millions of debt. * At this moment, the road is earning noth? ing; the liability of the State for the inter est which it guaranteed is increasing daily, and the property itself is decreasing in value. The State is asked to do nothiug but give up its place as first creditor, and take a place as second creditor, with an equal security; for if the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, completed throughout is not worth one million of dollars, thia State is not worth the amount of the State debt. Nothing is to be thrown away cr lost, and the State, instead of having a claim upon a road which does not make a cent of profit, will have a claim upon a cor? poration whose yearly net earnings will be, to begin with, one hundred and fifty or two hundred thousand dollars. The request of the company is so just snd moderate, so consonant with the railroad policy of Governor Scott, and so obviously advantageous to the whole State, that we canaot doubt that the Legislature will re? new the action of the General Assembly of | 1865, promptly pass the bill which is before them, and so enable the company to negoti? ate the new loan and go heartily to work without a day's unnecessary delay. REVIEWS. BBAKESPRARE. OB THE FOBTDITES OF A FEES LANCE. A Novel, by the Author of Guy Liv? ingstone. New York: Harper & Brothers. Charleston : Holmes' Book House. In Brakespeare, Mr. Lawrence retains the perhaps unhallowed fire and the sur? prising muscular vigor which made his first work famous; but in changing the scene from the days of "La belle dame tans merci" to the days of minstrel and belted knight, he throws a glamour over the page which, even with him, is new. Brakespeare is strong in the graphic beauty of the descrip? tive passages, in the charm of the dialogues, in the quaintness of language and expres? sion. By the side of the valiant "free lance" stands the chaste, noble Odille, that model of "ladye fayre,"-the high minded Marguerite, and the ruggedly hon? est Lanyon. In these, there is nothing to criticise or condemn. They are but namee, but images; but upon them the thought loves to dwell. And when Brakespeare dies as he has lived,-however we may scoff at his wondrous muscle and superhuman foi ti tude,-it is felt that the end is worthy of one who knew no law but his sword and knightly word, and yet could write to his pure minded wife a last farewell as chaste, as touching, as exalted and as simply true as mortal ever penned. Here and there, the brightness of the story is dimmed by infi? del scoff and jeer, and there is one chapter which oversteps all bounds of modesty and propriety. And still, when the last word is read, the dross of sensuality and unbe? lief is soon forgot, and nothing is left in the memory but the pure gold of the glow? ing and fertile imagination, coupled with the regret that thc author had not omitted what, although maybe a part of himself, would blot the fair fame of any honest man. At Brakespeare, Guy Livingstone, and their fellows, as works of ari. we may laugh if we will; but if there is much to condemn there is at least as much to praise. THE GORDIAN KNOT. By Shirley Brcoks. New York : Harper tc Bros. Charleston : Holmes' Book House. There is no more difficulty in saying what this book has than what it has net. It has- no apparent purpose, no striking delineation of character, no in? genious intricacy of plot, no dramatic interest, and no suspicion of even sensa? tional charm. On the other hand, it has a slangy coarseness of style and illustration, a marvellous power of keeping away from the point, a beginning which is dull and a denouement which would satisfy the refined taste of a scavenger. There is, perhaps, no harm in the book; but as men do not now live to the age of Methusaleh, they oannot afford to do other than cut this "Gordian "Knot." THE PACIFIC RAILROAD, we are told, will be completed by next July, thus placing the At? lantic seaboard within sis days' communica? tion with the Pacific. One of the first great rosults achieved by this gigantic enterprise will be to divert the European travel to and from Chiua, Japan and India across the Ameri? can continent. Thi time now occupbd by tho Eastern route is about sixty days, and it will oe-reduced by tho completion of th J new road to thirty-five dave. It will be a loqg timo be? fore the march of improvement in Asia and tho Ea9t will bo able to overcome this ad? vantage. In the moantimo, tho United States is destinod to reap a rich har? vest, iuoidont to the new route. A vast increaso in the ocean marine of tho At- j lantic- and Pacific ports will bo among j the tirsl of its results, and a prosperous im? petus rill bo speedily giveu to all the largo cities lying on tho diroct lino of communica? tion. A moro thorough intermingling of the American with tho European population will not bo among the loastimporiaut changes it will bring about-and ono that is destined to have a great influenco upon our sociar as woll as political relations. Thc full measure of the advantages to accrue to tho country by tho completion of the Pacific Railroad can hardly bo properly appreciated until actually ex? perienced. CONFIDENCE in their prcsoni, power and fu? ture destiny is now tho great need of the Southern pooplo. It is a remarkable fact that pcoplo abroad, and espccialiv in the Noith, havo more faith in the future prospects of this section than the people who live iu il. "Ruin? ed," as men will persist in saying that wc aro, our country, its magnificent rcsourcos andttb brilliant future aro the admiration of strangers and the envy of our enemies. A gentloraan named Trezovant, in a letter to the Memphis Appeal, puts this in a strong and clear light when ho tolls us tho gold valu.e of tho present crop of cotton is equal to nearly threo times the product of the California mines for the last eighteen years, and that its 2,000,000 of bales will bring within fifty millions of what a crop of 5,000,000 brought before t ?o var. This is splendid "ruin." Mr. Trezevant writos with force and in tho spirit which we have steadily endeavored to excite in our reader!;. NEW ORLEANS ia exhilarated by thc crop re? turns. Ti\o Times exultantly says: "Three "hundred thousand bales ol' cottou have been "received at our wharves since the opening of "thc aoason. At the averago rate this import .'ought to produc? thirty millions of dollarg, 'which is certainly a l?rcrc sum, that night to 'give tho present business season a good start. 'At Ibis rate wo ought to roeoivo over 50,000 'bales by Christmas. Sugar, too, is coming tn 'very fi eelv, and the crop promises to run up 'to if not over ono hundred thousaud bogs 'heads."

J To thc People of thc Southern States: WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE, now so widely kuov>n as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was in roduccil into thc world limier thc endorsement of four thousand leading members of the medical proicssion some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escape tho penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. Hr, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to tender all attempts to pirate it dull cult and dauRerous. It wa9 submitted to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Ita puri? ty and properties having been thus ascertained, sam? ples of tho article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of the result, acconipim!"d each npecim.cn. Four thousand of thc most eminent medical men In the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of thc article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had lons been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placod on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which woro moro or less adulterated, and thereforo unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oi of juniper, which formed one of the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele? ment, give it, in tho estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive sta rou? lant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of tho guarantees of its ^genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted ; a patent was obtained for tho article, the label was copyrighted, a Jae simile of tho proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the preparation were em? bossed on thc bottles, and thc corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1831; and the label was deposited, aa his trade mark, in thc United States District Court for the Southern District of Now York during that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the diring character of tho pirates who prey upon the reputation ot honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. Tho trade mark of tk? proprietor hos been stolen; the indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession hos been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his lubels and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, ofter disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his nome and brind a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and tho sick, for whom the Schiedam t. rom J tic Schnapps ls pre? scribed as a remedy, arc equally intercale I with tho proprietor in the deled ton and suppression of thojo nclarious practices. Thc genuine article, manufac? tured at the establishment of the undersigned in Schiedam, Heiland, ls distilled from a barley of thc finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian juolpc, of unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it ls treed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from tho loading physicians and families lu thc Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of thc Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those markets; and travellers, who aro in the habit of using it as an antidote to the banda: influence of unwholesome river water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in aclitedam bottles, I* frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. The agent* of the undersigned have been requested to iustitute inquiries on the subject, and te forward to him the names sf such parties as they may ascer? tain to bo engagod in the atrocious system of decep? tion. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that ho has produced, from under tho hands of thc most distinguished men of science in America, proofs un answerable of thc purity and medicinal excel? lence of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended many thousand dollars in sur? rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; ttat he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can be uni? formly depended upon as unadulterated ; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison and experimeit in all its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation wk!, h bears his same, seal and trade merk, has come ot' triumphant. He, therefore, feels it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens geeorally, to the medical profession and the sick, te denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencies of identity, and he calls upon the press and the public to aid hi ni in his efforts to routed j so great an eviL The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chemist- of this city will prove to the reader thal all goods sold by the under signe J are all that they arc rcpre en ted to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage.

I have been uuablo to discover any trace of tho deleterious substances wich are cm ployed in thc adulteration of liquors.
