Two columns of figures aro added ?t the same time by means of two circu? lar plates. -It is stated that Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island, bas purchased a very valuable island on the Georgia coast, near thc mouth of St. Mary's River, and also near Fernandina, Fla. It contains an area of nine thousand acres, and is extremely fertile. -The famous Sam ana Bay purchase has been completed. Under the Presidency of Ca? brai, Mr. Frederick Seward was commissioned to offer two million dollars for it, which was re? fused. President Baez, however, when he came into power, evidently found himself hard pressed, and applied to the United States Gov? ernment in hope of having the offer renewed. Certain New York capitalists entered into a - preliminary contract for a perpetual lease of the bay and peninsula, which contract has just been approved by the Dominican Government, and a large amount paid down by the New " York parties. It is understood that the whole affair is moved from Washington, and that so soon as occupation is given, the United States - will proceed to ostablish a naval station there, . leaving St. Thomas to ehike to pieces when it pleases. -The international conferen ca for preventing - the-tue of certain explosive bullets in time of war, has published the conclusions to which it - has arrived. It is decided that the powers which sign the convention shall relinquish, both in sea and land warfare, the uso of ex? plosive projectiles weighing less than 400 grammes (14.1 ounces avoirdupois) sud filled with inflammable matter. This obligation is not binding upon any of the contracting Powers when at warwich a State which has not signed the convention. The Prussian plenipo? tentiary proposed that the question should bc re-opened for a more extended discussion, but . this proposition was rejected. The protocol embracing the decisions of the conference is signed by the representatives of Great Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Por? tugal, Denmark, Belgium, Holland, Greece, Bavaria, Wurtumberg, Sweden and Prussia. -The Bishops o? the English Church have united in a formal reply to the Pope's invita? tion to them and other Protestants to attend the Ocumonical Coducil. Tho original is in Latin. The author of it i3 understood to be the Bishop of St. Andrew's. It would fill about three columns of THE NEWS in small type. The document acknowledges tho indebtedness of the English Church to Italy and Rome for many things, for which it is grateful; dwells on tho fact that it has the same creeds as the Roman Church, but repels the accusation of heresy and schism, and declares that the Church of England was a church long before the Pope's authority was established. It also calls the attention of his Holiness to the labors of th? English Church in disseminating the Scriptures among the people, contrasting its course in that particular with what it alleges to be the opposite policy of the Church of Rome. -Telegraphing has of late years beta added to the occupations adapted to the capacities and endurance of women, as it can be learned easily and does not require any severe physi? cal exertion. From three months to a year is usually required to learn it. There aie about .eighty female operator? emr-b/ed by the American Telegraph Company, nearly one-hall or whom are in New York. Io two offices in that city, there are entire departments in which the managers as well as the operators are I adies. Their management has given satis? faction, both to their superiors and cus? tomers. They have had to contend against much opposition from male operators, but in spite of this, and the fact that thev Lave never had anyprcparatory business, training, their success has been marked. Tho business of tho Pearl-street office, which is managed exclusively by women, has increased rapidly until it stands first among all the branch offices in New York. The salaries of women vary trom $30 to $50 per month, while mana? gers r;ceivc ?100 per month. Ma'c operators rece've on an average $75 per month, and several have over $100, while managers get $145 and $160. Large numbers of women are ongaged aa telegraphers in England and Fiance, one hundred and sixty being em? ployed in London alone. The competition, however, has been so great that- their wages have been reduced to an average of only five shillings sterling, or about $2 per week, which is barely sufficient to support existence. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MOBNING, DECEMBER 21,1868. Uar Colored Population. We are not of the number of those who profess to believe that South Carolina can do without her colored population; and we say this freely and frankly, because it is only by admitting that the white man de? pends on the freedman for labor as the freed? man depends on the white man for capital and brain, that we can establish that thor? oughly kindly feeling of mutual dependence without which there cannot well be any rapid and lasting improvement in the con? dition of the State. Even if the colored laborer were incapa? ble of being made industrious and reliable, which we cannot admit, it would still be to oar interest to make the best of him, in? stead of waiting with folded hands for the arrival of white immigrants to till our fields in his place. It will be many years, in all probability, before the broad stream of white immigration is diverted from the WeBt. Prejudice, custom, lov? of adventure, the prospect of rapidly growing rich, combine to direct the European to tho Western States; and even when the tide begins to ebb, and the white immigrant is met on the Pacific Bhores by the industrious Asiatic, it will not be to South Carolina that the white men will come. We are not surpassed by < any Southern State in the healthy charac? ter of our climate, the fertility of our soil, the cheapness of land and the quality of our mineral wealth; and yet there is little doubt that Virginia, North Carolina, and j perhaps Georgia, will obtain what white immigrants they require before any consid? erable number come to this Stale. No or? ganized effort is likely to be made by our present State government for the promotion of immigration. What is done will be done by individuals and societies, and they will not be able to bring out white settlers in such foroe as to take the place of the freed- i men on the plantation and farm. We may ' have white men to tend our flocks, to press ! the grap?*, to cultivate early fruits and veg? etables, to improve our stock, to change and modernize our whole agricultural sys- J tem. We may have enough immigrants to teach thc freedmen how to economize labor, to work to the best advantage, and to live, despite temptation, an industrious and frugal j life. But we shall not have enough white l men to drive the colored people from our ] fields, even -f the white man could always j take their place. t The freedmen form the staple of our labor system. We cannot do without them any matt than they can do without us. This fact should be admitted on all sides, and i the effect must be to stimulate the white \ race to be still a little kind to the faults of : the freedman, to show him by example the ! necessity and profit of labor, and to give 1 him a fair chance of reaping the substan- i tial fruits of freedom. For a time there may be annoyance and disappointment, but in the end the freedmen will be made the hardy and diligent laborers which we and ' our State require. Tbe Savannah and Charleston Railroad. Tho committee of the Senate, to whom was referred a bill for the relief of this rail? road, have reported, as a substitute, "A bill to enable the Savannah and Charleston Railroad to complete their road." which provides : 1. The company ia authorized to borrow the euni of $500,000, to be used in extend? ing and rebuilding the road. 2. For this purpose it may issue bonds at seven per cent., payable in twenty years; provided that the bonds be guaranteed and endorsed by the Northeastern Railroad and the Albany and Gulf Railroad. 3. The company 6hall fund the interest on the guaranteed bonds past due, and fall? ing due prior to September I, 1S09, in their own bonds, at seven por cent., which bonds shall be guaranteed by the State. i. The $500,000 shall be used exclusively for building the road and for its outfit. 5. If, after funding the interest on its bonds, thc company shall fail for six months to pay the interest due on any of their bonds, the State shall have right to take charge of the road. G. The present lien of the State shall be? come a second lien upon the issue of the endorsed bonds now authorized. 7. The road shall be completed by Janu? ary 1, 1870. Christmas Books.
