J. E. Early, a pioniineLt lawyer, and Colonel T. A. Green, also a lawyer, in which Mr. Early was shot and killed. The afiaii- grew out 'of an article re flect.ng upon Green as a lawyer, which Green supposed Early to be the author of. -Menard, the aolored Congressman elect from Louisiana, will be in aa awkward fix if admitted to the House. It will be impossible for lum to find a seat on tho Republican sido of tho Bouse, because these are already all taken. ?io he will have to find quarters on the Demo? crat! e^ido, where his reception will probably not pe of a very enthusiastic character. -Last week, near Dresden, Weakly County> Tennessee, a negro woman dug a hole near her cabiu, placed her two children mit, then lighted a large fire and actually burned them up. She was subsequently arrested, and whsn asked why she committed the herrid deed, said her children would not obey her, and so she concluded to kill them. -General Prim, by his delay in summoning the Spanish Cortes, has given rise to tho sus? picion that he intends to make himself Dicta? tor. To refute this charge, Prim has recently written a letter, in whick ho says: "I have no thought of being the master, Dictator or Em? peror of my country. If I had any such wretch? ed designs; I could not do better than follow tho advice of those who thinh themselves more liberal thau I, and I should then urge Spain to become a republic. Ia that case she would certainly offer me supteme power in one form or another." -A recent extensive examination into thc character of goods sold at a largo number of grocery stores in New York city, discloses, be? sides short weight, adulterations of the follow? ing character : Ground Java coffee contained roasted bread crumbs, peas and rye, chicory, burnt sugar and coffee essences. Ground cin? namon was adulterated with tapioca, ground mace with pulverized crackers, ground cloves with spices of all kinds, from which tho essen? tial oil had been extracted. Tea contained willow leaves, genuine broken leaves aggluti? nated by some artifice, damaged leaves and tel dust. The green tea was colored with a powder supposed to bo Prussian blue, and tho sugar was moistened with water to the extent of ten per cent. _~ -Mr. George Peabody, of Lonclou, in his letter of the 5th instant, accompanying his gift of $500.000 to the London poor, says : " Chis amount vsill increase my former dona? tion of the second trust to ?200,000, and, in. eluding my gift under the first trust, in March, 1862, of ?150,000, a total of ?350,000." These aro eloquent figures. A man who in in six years gives one million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars (gold) to thc poor, deserves ihe applause he recives for his munifi? cent charity. If to these benefactions of Mr. Peabody in Lond in aro added the contribu? tions he has made to thc cause of education and learning in America, the total will be found to be between four and five millions of dollars. -On Monday evening the Common Council of Brooklyn voted to subscribe on behalf of tho city for three million dollars out of the fivo million dollars of the capital stock of tho com? pany which has undertaken to build a suspen? sion bridge over the East Rivor between Now York and Brooklyn. Its successful completion will be witnessed at no distant day. The new bridge will start On this side from a point near the Register's office, in tho City Hall Park, and will strike tho other sido of tho East River at the corner of Sands and Washington streets. Its largest span or reach will be sixteen hun? dred feet, which ia nearly six hundred feet longer than that of the bridge over the Ohio River at Cincinnati, and nearly eight hundred feet longer than that of the Niagara Falls bridge. Its total length will be a little over a mile, and its width eighty feet, admitting of the passage of two hundred thousand persons daily. -The current number of Packard's Monthly has an article by tho surviving Pollard, in which be makes tho confident statement that the bulk of tbs valuable documents ot the rebel government, including the correspondence of Jefferson Davis, exists to-day in concealment; that many Jays beforo tho fall of Richmond there was a careful selection of important pa? pers, especially those in the office ot the Presi? dent, and letters which involved confidences ia the North und in Europe, and that those were secretly conveyed out of Richmond, and deposited tn a place where they remain ooncea! od to this time, and will probably not be ur earthed in this generation. Mr. Pollard mentions tho case of a single sea et docu? ment which he was once permitted to see in Bichmond, wherein certain parties offered to assist the confederacy, by supplying its west? ern nrmies for a whole year from the granaries and magazines of the North. Such important letters and other secret papers he insists aro at this moment kept in a manner and place which render them secure against discovery, loss or mutilation-not to be brought to light till those who could be harmed by the revela? tion have passed away. Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, testifies that at tho time of the cap? ture of Bichmond, the government offices there were found to have been carefully strip? ped of every document which was thought im? portant, and that tho rebel archives now pre? served at Washington are of very little histori? cal value indeed. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 28,18G8. Economy in oar city Affairs. As we have said upon more than one oc? casion, we feel that it is the imperative duty of the City Council to exercise the strictest economy in the administration of our Municipal affairs, and that it is their duty to cut off all expenses which are un? necessary, and to reduce the cost of every department of the city government, where it can be done without injury to the city at large. For this reason, we heartily ap? proved of the recommendations of Mayor Clark, as far as they pointed to increased receipts and decreased payments; but, in one particular at least, Mayor Clark, in our opinion, did not go far enough. In speak? ing of tbe city printing now done by con? tract by this paper and the Courier, Mayor Clark says : "The printing of the city is a "necessity, but a large percentage of that 'expense can be saved by confining our? selves by contract to one paper." We hink that the city printing "isa necessity," jut we do not think it right or j act that the .ax-payers of Charleston should be made o pay for the publication in the daily pa? pers of column after column of reports of ( subordinate officials, of statements of bills ipproved, and of other matters of detail i vhich only concern a few persons, whs can i ?btain the same information, at no' cost to i ho treasury, by applying at the City Hall. 1 We say that it is not necessary to have I wo city printers, at a cost of $2000, or one i :?ty printer at $1500 or less. Everything 1 if importance which takes place at the ' neetipgs of Council is published in the 1 laily papers, without pay or expectation of < (ay. In the same way, all important doc- ] iments are seized upon by tho reporters for < he press, the contest being, not who shall ] lave the most money for printing the docu? ments, but who shall publish them first, "he public reads in the daily papers of the i aorning following each meeting of Council ( i full report of what is done. This is all ? hat is wanted and all that is necessary; } nd yet a few days after each meeting, the ^ iroceedings are polished over again in t ffioial form, end the city pays the bill. , ibis, we say, is wholly wrong. t We*believe that the City Council is in . arnest in its endeavor to reduoe our ex- ^ enditurc so that taxation may be lessened ? nd tho credit of the city improved, and . his is why we speak plainly on the subject c f the city printing. At pres cat, THE News ? nd the Courier are paid one thousand del- ( irs each for publishing the proceedings of . louncil and the city advertisements. This : 3 equal to the yearly interest on more than . hirty thousand dollars of city stock at six >er cent., and Council should af once save his handsome sum. The city will, if there is no city printer, j lublish its advertisements and pny for them 1 s other advertisers would do. This is but ? air and proper; for it is necessary to give j lotice to the tax-payers of new assessments, f important ordinances, and of other mat- i ers of general -consequence. But it is not ! lecessary to publish these notices, as is ' tow done, for a week or a mouth. One in- f ertion is enough for most of them, and wice or thrice for the rest; and, our word I or it, the public will read them more par- , icularly when they are to be published mee or twice, than when they cumber the ?olamos of their morning paper for several , reeks together. J We believe that if the contract printing i ystem, with its two city printers, is abol- '? shed, the city will save at lea9t twelve or ifteen hundred dollars yearly, and that the i (ublic will still have all the information ] hat they need or desire. There is nothing o be gained by putting off reform. We nust take care of the pennies as well as . he pounds; and if the Council, at its meet ng to-morrow, takes such action as will j ?ave the. city one-half or three-fourths of 1 he present cost of the city printing, it will prove to .he community that it is deter- i nined to have no privileged class, but to : reat every interest with a sole view to con lucting the city government in the cheap? est and most economical way. The Weather and What lt Wm Do. We have had four or five days of winter ?reatfier more bitterly and steadily cold hau has been known in these parts fer thirty or forty years, or perhaps within the momory of tho very oldest inhabitant. It is a rare occurrence for the thermometer on the seacoast of South Carolina te go far below 32? Fahrenheit, but within the last few days we have watched the mercury fail until it touched 20? and 21?-or eleven and twelve degrees below freezing point. The salt water ponds in the city have been frozen hard and fast, and one and two inches of ice have been found in exposed situations. This excessive cold has caused much suffering among the destitute and poor, but there is reason ito believe that it will be of great advantage to the people in gen? eral, as well as to the agricultural and planting interests of the State. It is well known that frost and cold kill that luxuriant vegetation which is the prin? cipal cause of miasma and malarial fevers, so that the coming season should be unusu ally healthy and free from the diseases to which we are most exposed. The cold also mellows and ripens the ground. There is nearly always a fine grain crop after a se? vere winter, and we may expect that our crop of cereals this year will be even larger than in the season just past. Bu' it is the cotton planter who will, in all probability, be the greatest gainer by the frosts and freezes of winter. Heretofore it has been impossible to kill the cocoon of the cater? pillar. Partial burning of the cotton stalks, eare in cultivating the land, and every other knowr means has been tried without avail, perhaps owing, in some degree, to the small manual force which can now be applied to the work of extermination. Jack Frost, however, will do what the hand of man cannot, and we believe that the almost Arctic cold-so it seems to us-which we have undergone, has effectually killed the seed of that destructive insect which year after year has ravaged the finest cotton fields in the State. Tthis freezing cold then brightens still more our prospect for the new year. We have the hope of a fine crop of grain and rice and cotton. The people aro nt burdened with debt as they were two years ago. The general Bankruptcy law has al? lowed thousands to cancel old debts, which were weighing them down and preventing their commercial progress. The credit sys tem has been scotched if not killed. Gen? eral economy has taken the place of gene? ral extravagance. Wc are in a condition to feel to the fullest extent the blessings of bountiful harvests, and if our anticipations in regard to the ero j s are but fulfilled, thc year 1SC9 will be one of the most soundly prosperous years that this State has ever seen. THE NEW YOEE HERALU and the New York Tribune are giving especial attention to the discussion of the condition of the South. The former says that the South is again on the high road to wealth and influ? ence, and that the Southern States show signs of progress not only in the improved character of thc agricultural element,but ia the tendency of Northern capital to seek Southern investments, and in the competi? tion among the Southern ports for the " through traffic" to the North and Europe. The Tribune is rejoiced because the South has raised its own bread and added largely to the list of farm products, and argues that families and individuals hi va now moro varied and better food, and that the better the common people of a country live :hc more advanced aro they in education ind art, and thc greater is thc average wealth. The Tribune also praises warmly 'the simplicity, hospitality and natural kindness of heart" of the middle " and sven of the upper classes " of the Southern peopled AU these are encouraging eviden? ts that truth will out when the din of polities is hushed. THE MACON JOURNAL urges the city of Macon to renew the subscription of $50,000 o the Macon and Augusta Railroad, and lays that if Ulis is done thc Georgia Rail? road and South Carolina Railroad will then nish the work forward so that the link be ween Milledgcville and Macen will be lompleted without delay. Sixteen niles ol he thirty are already graded and ready for he iron. This connection is of great im lortance to Augusta and Charleston as well is Macon ; and it is hoped that thc meet ng on Wednesday of the Presidents and Superintendants of thc roads principally nterested, will result in the early opening if the road, which will give to thc fertile listricts of Middle Georgia a nownndin lependent route to the seaboard.

To thc People of the Southern States i WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE, now BO widely kno*n se WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, waa in'roduced into the world under tbe endorsement of four thousand leading members of thc medical proicssion some twenty years ago, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escapo the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. Hr, therefore, endeavored lo invest it with strongest possiblo safeguard against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them ihe purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having oecn taus ascertained, sam? ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all tho leading practitioners in thc United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report ol thc result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were UDauimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had lone been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could bc placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. Ibo peculiar excellence and Etrcngth of thc oi of juniper, which formed one of thc principal ingredients of tho Schnapps, together with un unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ele? ment, give it, in tho estimation of tho faculty, a marked superiority over evory other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tenic and restorative. Those 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 ene of tho guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted; a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a Jae simile of the proprietor's autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, his name and that of the preparation wcretm Losscd on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with bis private seal. No article had ever been sold in this country nuder the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatie Schnapps, in 1851; and tbo label waB deposited, as bis trade mark, In thc United States District Court fer the Southern District of New York duriug that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the reputation ol honorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pro tecuens so carefully thrown around those Schnapps would bave precluded tho introductions and sale or counterfeits. They seem, however, only to havo stlmula'ed tho rapacity of Impostors. The trade mark of th; proprietor has been stolen; the indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbngs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worso than all, dishonorable retailers, alter disposing of the genuine ceatonts of his bottles have Oded them up with common gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, and thus mado his name and br md a cover for poison. The public, tho modical profession and Ihe sick, for whom Ihe Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, arc equally internste I with the proprietor in the detection and suppression of those aeiarious ptacticcs. The genuine ai tide, manufac? tured at the establishment of the under.-igued in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled lion a barley of thc -nest quality, and flavorod with au o&scntial extract jf the berry of tho Italian jurlpe-, ef unequalled pu? rity. By a precess unknown in the prepararior ef isy other liquor, it is treed frem every acrimonies ind corrodive element. Complaints havo been received from tho loading ihysxians and families in the Southern States of .he sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Ara? na tic Schnapps in those markots; and travellers, who are ia 6bc habit ol using it as an antidoto te thc baneful influence of unwholesome river water, tes- ' Il'j thal cheap gio, put up in Scbicd-m botlloa, 1? rcqucntly palmed off upon the unwary. The ?gents of tbe undersigned havo been requested to astitute inquiries OB the subject, and U forward to lim the names of suck parties as tbty may a?c.r ain te be engaged in the atrocious system of doccp- i ion. In conclusion, Ihe uBdorcigned would say that ic has produced, from nuder the baads of the mo.-t listingui'bea men cf science in America, proofs un ; | isswerablc of tbe purity and medicinal excel encc of the Sobioduai Aromatic Schnapps ; that \ iO has expended maa y thoueand dellars in sur? rounding it with guarantees aad safeguards, which aa designed should protect the public and himself igaiast fraadnlaut imitations; that be has shewn it j o bo the only liquor in tho world that can be unl ,'eroly depended upon a? unadulterated; th it ho bas ' fballeaged investigation, analysis, comparison and bxperimeut in all its lornas; and from i very orde il . he preparation wai. k bears bis name, teal aud Irado ? murk, has como off triumphant. He, therefore, feels t a duty he owes to bis fcllew-rit'z-ns generally, to the rredical profession and the sick, to denounce ind expese thc charlatans who counterfeit these cvi leuoies of identity, and ho calls upon the press and ihe public to aid him in his efforts lo remedy so great in evil. Thc following letters and certificates from tho leading physicians and che mst' of this city will prove to the roadcr that all goods sold by thc undcr signcJ arc all that they aro repre ented to be.
