No less than fifty beef-packing establish' ments are in operation in Texas; and factories for making glue, soap and Deals' foot oil are springing up all over tho State. -The fruit crop of the Bahamas is very abundant this year, but as there is no demand lor it for transportion, millions of oranges are rotting on the trees. -A Paris correspondent writes that the Prince Imperial is in excellent health, and is growing fast. The Emperor ?B so fond of him that ho can scarcely bear him out of his night. -England now ha a an army of one hundred and seventy-seven thousand men, of which seventy thousand, two hundred and ninety two aro garrisoned in the British Isles, fifty nine thousand in India, and the remainder in her other dependencies. -Florida is called the poor man's paradise by a correspondent.

Tostoe, in descending a flight of stairs at her residenee, caught her foot in her skirt, and was precipitated to the bottom, sustaining severe injuries, which, it is feared, trill for some time incapacitate her from as? suming her usual place on the stage." -It is again proposed in New York to build dwelling houses on the French plan, and it is reported that a company of capitalists will en? gage in tho enterprise next spring. If the plan conld be weU carried ont it would enable a great many poorly paid married men to keep house quite comfortably. -Two San Francisco' policemen tried to ar? rest -a Chinaman on the 2d of this month. They found it necessary to leave him a mo? ment, and so handcuffed him with his arms each side ota lamp post. When they returned their prisoner was gone-he had climbed up the post and swung his- arms over the top. -There is a wide spread belief m Europe that the Napoleonic Dynasty and the French Empire will fall in 1969. This supposition is the result of some curiously mysterious figures published three years ago in the Independence Beige, which make the year 1869 do for Napo? leon what the year 1848 did for Lom's Philippe. -A meeting of eommeroial travellers, or, as they axe generally termed, "druvs," was held in the Astor House, in New York, recently, for the purpose of securing the abolition of the pres ent obnoxious license laws of the various cities and States. A committee was appointed to raise subscriptions, is order to test the legality of the beens* laws with refs renee to oem mercial travellers. * -It is positively denied by a Paris journa] that the ex-Quccn Isabella carried off the crown jewels when she crossed the Pyrenees According to the Memorial Diplomatique, her Majesty, who has just purchased a magnifi -oent hotel in the avenue of the Roi de Borne for a sum of 1,700,000 tranca, has for her entire fortune but 33,000,000 reals, about $3,000,000 in gold, the portion of the Prince of Asturias, which was lodged in the Bank of England. -The literati of New York have for some time bad in contemplation the establishment -of a national institute, somewhat similar to the French Institute. A national institute for the purpose of increasing and perpetuating knowl? edge, conducting learned investigations and reeearohes, diffusing oorrect views in art, science and literature, and promoting inter? course among all engaged or interested in such pursuits. With this view, tho "Academy of Letters and Fine Arts" was a fow nights ago organized, of which Motley, the historian, was ?elected Presider^; Richard Grant White, vice President; Calvert Vaux, Secretary, and Wil? liam C. Church, Treasurer. -The grand soldiers' reunion at Chicago, where only officers were present, closed with a banquet that was nothing else than a de? bauch. After wine had flowed freely for a time, the uproar became SD great that not a word could be heard, the chairman was un? able to restore even momentary quiet, and the speeches, poem and toasts had to be dispensed with. Bottles were tossed hither and thither, ornaments wero overturned-one of them a great tower .of confectionery fifteen feet high generals mounted chairs and tables to shout ribald songs, and the whole scene was one of riot and confusion. Grant retired early, hav? ing drank nothing but water while present. -Commodore Vanderbilt used his late finan? ciering movement against his former friends in a merciless manner. They had eo often been deceived by his promise to make dividends that they had come to disbelieve his sincerity and operated on the other tack. To punish them for their want of confidence, the commo? dore lured them on to contract to deliver hun. .dreds and thousands of shares of the stock to his agents; and when he had got them where he wanted them, the trap was sprung, tho dividends really made, and some millions of -dollars were transferred from their bank ac? count to his own. One or two astute individ? uals not friendly to the Commodore, among them a prominent member of the Erie direction, escaped the snare, and made a hundred Ihou .nani dollsrs apiece by judiciously buying ta "stead of Belling. -General Grant is represented bx a travel? ling correspondent to have recently expressed in firm and decided tores his opposition to thc granting of any more money subsidies to tho Pacific Railroad until the finances of the coun? try are in much better condition than at tho present time. While he favored the building of one or twp railroads through to tue Pacific coast, ho would not give his approval to any schemes which proposed to take money out of the government treasury in the shapo of bonds. He had endorsed the building of the Kanscs Pacific Railroad as a military necossity, aud believed it would save the government alargo amount of money; but by giving it his en? dorsement he had not intended to convey thc idea that ho was in favor of the road heine; built by tho sid of money to bo tak^n from thc Treasury Department. Thoso roads should bo built by private onterprise, although in some cases laud subsidies might bc granted without detriment to tho public interest. CH ABLES T O ? TUESDAY MORNINu, DECEMBER 29, 18C8. Governor y cou aud thc Bank o it he State We think that Governor Scott is clearly in the right in refusing to sign Sute bonds to be issued in exchange for bills of the Bank of the State. It is true that the pres? ent General Assembly passed an act author? izing bills of the Rank of the State, issued previous to December 20,1SG0, to be funded at par in State bonds bearing six per cent, interest; but a proper regar for the credit of the State requires that its highest ex? ecutive officer should use all his power and influence to prevent the Legislature from assuming any liability on behalf of the State for which the State is not plainly lia? ble, especially when the liability proposed to be undertaken is not proved to bo un? doubtedly constitutional. There is no disposition on our part to de? cide whether the State is or is not liable for the bills issued by the Rank of the State. The billholders took proceed'ngs in the State courts to compel the State to receive these bills in payment of taxes, but the Court of Appeals decided against them. They then appealed to. thc Supreme Court ef the United States, by which tribunal the whole question will be finally determined. Until tho decision of the Supreme Court is given against her, the State is not liable for the bills of the Rank of tho State; and while we will make every sacrifice to fulfil any ju?t obligation, we are not willing to pay one single dollar for which we are not legally responsible. Rut there are other difficulties connected with funding the bills of the Rank of the State which may have been the immediate cause of Governor Scott's decision not to issue the bonds already mentioned. The Constitutional Convention which met in this city in January last, passed an ordi? nance in which it is declared that it shall be the duty ef' the General Assembly, at its first session, to appoint commissioners "to "investigare and ascertain what obligations "of the State are entitled te be held as valid "and binding upon the State, in conformity "with the previsions of this constitution "and the ordinances adopted by this Con? tention," and "until the General Assem? bly shall have - ascertained th? validity of "such obligations, no payment for either ?principal er interest shall be made on "any outstanding obligation created and "incurred prior to the 29th day of April, "1868." The commissioners provided for in this ordinance have not made their re? port. They have not, as far as wc know, been elected. Whence, then, did the Gen? eral Assembly derive its power to fund the bills of the Baak of the State in bonds of the State ? Resides this, .it is well known that under the Constitution of the State (Art. IX, Sec. 10), no scrip, certificate or other evidence ef State indebtedness, shall be issued "cx "cept for the redemption of stock, bonds "or other evidences of indebtedness previ? ously issued, or for such debts as are ex? pressly authorized in this constitution," while the Constitution of the United States declares that "neither the United States nor "any State shall assume to pay any debt or "obligation incurred in aid of insurrection "or rebellion." How is it to be determined which of the bills of thc Rank of tho State were issued before the war, and which were issued du? ring the war? The date of the bills is no proof of the time when they were issued. A large amount of these bills were, wc believe, lent to the Confederate or to thc State Gov? ernment. Can the State give its bonds for these bills, and how is it to be decided whether the bills presented to the Treasu? rer were or were not issued 'z aid of "insurrection or rebellion ?" We do not attempt to explain away these difficulties, nor do we desire to interfere with the arrangements of speculators who bought these bills of the Rank cf the State at five and ten cents on the dollar, and then cajoled tho Legislature into passing a bill to fund them in State bonds, which are worth sixty or seventy. We have no ani? mosity against these men, but wo feel that they can afford to wait until the courts givo judgment in their favor; and wc know that South Carolina cannot afford, and daro not pretend to assume, any debt for which she is not indubitably liable under the law and the constitution. The Corporation Printing. Our proposition to do away altogether with the system of having corporation printers, and to require the city instead te pay, as any individual would do, for what advertisements it maj be indispensably necessary to publish, is objected to on thc ground that the advertisements which must be published would co3t, at tho ordinary newspaper rates, as much as is now paid for the whole public printing of thc city. We do not seo that there is any great force in this objection, because, as we explained yesterday, tho daily press of thc city will publish, without pay, for the information of their readers, as they do now, so much of the Council proceedings and of the city reports and ordinances as is of interest to the general public. This disposes of the most expensive part of the city printing^- the official publication of the proceedings of the City Council. Thc miscellaneous advertising required to be done need not be large in amount, and we repeat that it should not cost more than 1 five or six hundred dollars a year, which J would be an annual saving to the city of fifteen hundred dollars, without any loss or inconvenience to the general public. If, however, the City Council believes that it is best and wisest to have an official printer, there can be no possible ob? jection to confining the city printing, by contract, to one paper, as is recommend? ed by the Mayor. The fact that there are two daily papers published in Charleston is no reason why there should be two city printers. A little while ago, we had three daily Charleston papers. In a year or two we may have four or more, and we do not sec why there should bc any more difficulty in choosing one out of two than in choosing two out of three, or four out of a dozen. The piain truth i?, that we desire to prac? tice, in regard te thc press, what we preach, in reference to every other branch of the city expenditures, and when it is self-evident that the official publication of | thc city notices and Council proceedings in one paper is enough for all purposes, it is certainly the duty of Council to save the difference between thc cost of one printer and the cost of (wo. By having but one printer, the city can savo yearly five hundred dollars or more. This is better than nothing, and it is making a good be? ginning for the new year. We still think it unnecessary to have any official city printer, but if this is going too far, then Council cannot refuse tb reduce thc number of city printers from two to one. We hope that Council will prove, by its notion to? night, that it is not above m iking small sav? ings, and that it will not coutinue to spend two thousand dollars per annum for city print? ing, when it is shown, beyond gainsay, that the work can be done just as well for at most two-thirds of that amount. Uar Resources-Light Wanted. We print, this morning, an interesting letter giving an account of the resources, poeition and natural advantages of Spar tanburg County. This is the kind of | information that we arc anxious to obtain Each distriot. has its peculiar merits and advantages to .the laborer and capitalist, and it shall not be the fault of Tnt; NKWS if the light of any county in thc State is hid under a bushel. We, therefore, invite our country friends to send us articles contain? ing a brief statement of the condition and prospects of their respective counties, together with all thc information they can obtain as to their system of agriculture, the manner in which the freedmen aro v> ork ing, what facilities there are for establish? ing mills and factories, and what mills and factories are already ia operation. When South Carolina is well known, we shall be able to obtain all thc capital and skilled labor wc require; and the simplest way of | making thc State well and favorably known is by the preparation und publication of | such information as we have described. lifo MS.

To thc People of Hie Southern States : WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE, DOW BO widely knov.n as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was in'nduced into thc world under tho endorsement of four thousand leading member; of thc medical profession some tweuly years ago, its proprietor was well award hat it could not wholly essipo the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. H>-, fhcretore, endeavored lo invest it with elrongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to i ender all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to distin? guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the puresl spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? fy and properties having oecn thus ascertained, sam? ples of thc orticlc wer.- forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United Stales, for purposes of experiment, circular, requesting a trial cf tho preparation and a report of ?he result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical mea iu thc Union promptly responded. Their opinions of thc article were unanimously favorable Such preparation, they said, had lone been wanted by ?he profession, as no reliance could bc placed on the ordinary liquors of comm creewah of which were aaorc or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes, inc peculiar excellence and strength of the oi of juniper, which formed one of I he principal ingredients of thc Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of tho alcoholic cle? ment, give it, in the estimation of thc faculty, a mrirkod superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials iroui professional men ef lue highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of thc Schnapps, as om? of thc guarantee-of its genuine. nc?s. Other precautions against fraud were -Iso adopted ; a patent was obtained for thc article, the label was copyrighted, a jae simile of thc propiiclor's autograph signature ms attached lo each labol und cover, his name and that of the preparation ware em? bossed on the bottles, and flic corks were sealed with bis private sod. No arlicle had over been sold in this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and thc label was deposited, as his trade roark, in the United States District Court for tho Southern District of New York durlug that yoar. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with tho diring character of tee pirates who prey upo-., the r?putation ol honorante merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that thc pro? tections so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded Ibo introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stinaula'ed tho rapacity of Impostors. Thc trade mark of th; proprietor has boon stolen; the Indorse? ment which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from thc medical profession has been claimed by menduciou- humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imilstcd, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, after disposing of thc genuine contents of his bottles, have tilled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name and brind n cover for poison. The public, thc medical protection and Iho sick, for whom :he Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, aro equally iutercsic : with (he proprietor in thc def ec: leu aiid suppression of tkc.?c mi?rteos practica?. Hie genuine atlicle, mauutac tared at the establishment of tho undersigned in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled fren & barley of inc finest quality, and Savored wltb au essential extract of tho berry of the Ita!i:in junipo-, of unequalled pu? rity. By a precess unknown in tho preparation of ? any other liquor, it ls treed from every acrimonious und corrodive clement. Complaints have been received from the leading pbysteiaus aud families in thc Southern States of tiln> sale of cheap imitations of thc Schiedam Aro? matic Sehmpps in those inurku's; and travellers, who are in Hie habit ot ?hing it as an antidote to Ihc baneful influence, nf unwholesome river waler, ti Ufy that cheap gin, put up iu Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon iho unwary. Tbe agents ol tho undersigned have been requested lo institute inquines on th* subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may ascer? tain lo bc engoged in the atrocious system of deccp tisu. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from undor tho hands of thc mo.-t dUtingui'hea men of eeioaco iu America, proofs un answerable of the purity and mo-Jicinal excel? lence ol Iho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; tact bc has expended iuauy thousand dollar* in sur? rounding it with guarantee-) and safeguards, which ho designed should protect thc public and himself | against fraudulent imitations; that lie has shown it te be tho only liquor in tho world that can bc uni? formly depended upon as unadulterated; th it he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison and experiment in all Hs lorin?; and from every ordeal lue preparation wh? h beats his natue, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He, thorcforc, feels It a duly bc owes to his fcllow-eitiz ns generally, to tho medical profession and the sick, to denounce aud expos-- thc charlatans who counterfeit these evi? dencias of identity, and ho calls upon tho press and the public to aid him iu his efforts to remedy so great au evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians ami chemist' of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by thc under? signed arc nil that they arc ?cprc en ted to be.
