The Peruvian Government has ordered tho guano companies to export hereafter from the Guanape Islands, on the northern coast. -A bill is before the~ Tennessee Legislature exempting capital employed in manufacto? ries from taxation for the space of ten years. ' There is a fair prospect for it becoming a law. -Mr. George W. Adam's, a leading Wash? ington correspondent, was married last Tues - day to the daughter of John M. Barclay, the Journal Clerk of the House of Representa? tives. -The New York papers say that concerts and operas in that city are overwhelmed by "dead-heads," and, as an instance, tell of a concert at which nearly three thousand people attended, whilst the receipts were not $150. -A projected new railway from London to -Brighton, it is said, wilT combine in its car? riages a combination of the' American and English systems, with a free passage through? out the length of the trains, and smoking and refreshment saloons at one end. -It is said that the only infallible way to ascertain that death has taken place, with the exception of decomposition, is by holding a . candle to a part of the body. If the blister on being punctured gives forth afluid substance, '. de i th has not taken place. If air is emitted, deith has occurred. -An Irish court has given a gentleman two hundred pounds damages for breach of prom? ise by a lady with whom he had an engagement to marry. The day had been set, the intend? ing bridegroom bad sold a furn in British Co? lumbia, and was on bis way to carry ont the .engagement, when the lady married another. -In Belgium a new mode of dressing wounds has been adopted. A sheet of lead one-fifteenth of an inch in thickness-is applied to th? seat of injury, and made to assume its' shape by pressure.

Citations have been issued for eight new Coun? cillors-one being summoned from America, -ono from Spain, two from France, and four from Germany. An invitation was sent to the Bet. John Henry Newman, of England, bot he has desired to be excused, en the ground of bis age and bad health. , -The late Duchess of Sutherland was a model matchmaker, and provided admirably for her daughters. One she married to the Duke of Argyle, and another will be Duchess of Leinster. A third (very beautiful) is mar? ried to the eldest son of the Marquis of West? minster, whose wealth no man ean count; and ? granddaughter has just been affianced to Lord Percy, heir to the Dukedom of Northum? berland. -Tho recent suicide at- Chicago of Mrs. ? Augustus N. Dickens, widow of Augustus Dickons, brother of Charles Diekens, was com? mitted by taking morphine. She sent' her children to the homo of her brother-in-law, Hr. Lawrence, on Christmas eve, to take part in getting np a Christmas tree. They remain? ed there over night, and on their return home discovered their mother on the floor dead. Mrs. Dickens was thirty-five years old, and lecvos three children. She has suffered much lately from poverty, being dependent almost entirely apon her friends for the necessaries cf life. -Napoleon LIT labors in ali things to make bis government necessary to the French peo? ple, and accustom them to look to him lor more or less help, in the work of social pro? gress. Among his many arrangements for this grand purpose, is the plan of sending agents into the agricultural districts, where the great strength of the Bonapartean dynasty reposes, to offer the farmfolk the necessary implements of industry, at first cost ; and not these alone, bot the credit which enables the people to get them. The latter have from tbree to five years to pay for thom, and a longer time when it is found that they are industrious but cannot raise the money. This interference is a very paternal one ; and, though it may have a cer? tain centralized air of despotism, yet it is a very pardonable kind of dospotiam, as the world goes. -The New York Herald is moved by the re -esnt scrip dividend of the New York Central Bailroad io tell how the capital stock of the Western Union Telegraph Company has been "?atere?V Beginning witt a capital of $360, 000, fifteen years ?>go, that corporation now has a noroinal capital of $?1,008,800, nearly five times what it should be if tho capital had been increased in a legitimate manner to cover the expenso of construction and the absorption of other lines. Four times the stock has been docbled withont any pretence of value to show for it; and 88$, the price this stock is now selling for, really represeuts more tuan the actual cost valuo to original holders. The Herald, which is one of tho leading advocates of governmental control of the telegraph lines of the country, of course draws a strong argu? ment in favor -f such control from the mis? management of tho Western Union. -Few people have an idea of the extent of California. Tho State is seven hundred miles long, by about two hundred wide. San Fran? cisco and Sacramento together havo a popula" tion of about 170,000, leaving about 300,000, population for this area of country-as largo as all New England and Now York aud Pennsylva? nia together-an aroa largo enongh and rich enough to sustain a population of 30,000,000. It would make a large size European Kingdom. The State will have 13,000,000 bushels of wheat to spare, which will bring in from $18,000,000 to $20,000,000. Tho wcol-clip is larger than ever before. The vintage promises to be the best ever gathered; 25,000,000 grape-vines are in bearing, aud new vineyards are the order of the day. The Slato has just bsgun its net-work of railroads, soon to bo connected by thc long spider thread across the continent. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MOEN LNG, DECEMBER 30, 18#t. The Cotton Claims. We have all heard of the famous war? horse killed in the Continental service, whose high-sounding name and speed and bottom were dinned in tho ears of Congress, nntil the great grand-child of the bold rider received an appropriation to compensate him for the loss his venerable ancestor had sustained in the servioe of an ungrateful country. It seems that it is intended to pursue this putting-ofF policy in regard to the cot? ton claims, and unless the Southern mem? bers of Congress will take up the cudgels in behalf of their afflicted constituents, the hard cash for the cotton seized by the Fed? eral Government at the close of the late war, is not likely to be paid over to any? thing nearer than the third or fourth gen? eration of those to whom it is due. In this way, these unfortunates may live for pos? terity, if even they starve for themselves. It is true that the amount of compensa? tion for cotton claimed by citizens of South Carolina is not remarkably large, but what? ever it is, it would be of benefit to thc claimants andt o this State, in which it would be spent; and it is not pleasant to feel that the original 6um, by thc attrition of law? yers, agents and clerks, is every day grow? ing uncomfortably less. Nor is there any good reason why the money should not be promptly paid. The fact that the govern? ment did seize the cotton is proved by the records at Washington, which also show that the government has the money pro? duced by its sale. And yet when a claim? ant does establish his claim and obtains a judgment, he finds that a large percentage is deducted to defray the expenses cf the Court of Claims. In plain English, the ofBcers i of the government make use of every twist md turu of the law to avf"d-Pft?iPE lne money, and wnen they are compelled to pay the claim, make the claimant pay the piper. There is a modest cheating game, prac? ticed by acute boys, in even Buch a moral i place as Charleston, whose foundation is this broad prinoiple: '"Heads I win; tails "you lose." This little game is being played by the Court of Claims. Evidence is re- ' quired to be taken over and over again. The claimant is bumped from pillar to post, ind back from post to pillar. And if he 1 Joes obtain a judgment, the treasury Bet isido the decision of the court and pay just is much or as little as they please. j It is time that some keen and sagacious j member of Congress should take this mat? ter in hand, and we trust that the Southern 1 representatives, living amid all the great , glories of Washington, will not neglect the opportunity of speaking frankly and boldly upon this question of dollars and cents. What the cotton claimants want is a quick , and cheap judgment, and a prompt .payment ! of the money if the claimants win the day. They grumble not leud but deep, and ask that Congress will resume its delegated functions at once, if the Court of Claims will Bot mend thc errors of its way. 1 The South does not make many drafts upon the Federal treasury. Rings and combinations are not our forte. But, by way of upholding the credit of the govern? ment, aud of proving that it is willing to '. render unto the South a little of what belongs to Southern people, Congress should, without delay, provide for tho set? tlement of all lawful claims against the I General Government. What we ask is just and fair; if it were not, our prayer m'glit more read ily be granted. Rcvlcwa. ISAIAH; with Notes Critical, Explanatory and i Practical. Cosigned for boin' Pastors and People. By Rev. Henry Cowies, D. D. New York : D. Apploton & Co. 1809. Thia commentary has its good points. It is plain and-practical-more convenient for use and not a wv;t drier than the weary and shapeless comnKntary 0f Alexander more evangelical and j-opular than thc learned notes of Henderson. luis brief, the author usually contenting himself- with a statement of his own opinions, wilhouv reference te those of other?, and dwelling at length upon the texts only to which a theological interest attaches. The ordi? nary reader will find a considerable amount of information in the volume, and will probably prize its interpretations the more on account of the homilclical addresses scattered among them. To tho scholar it i will prove well-nigh worthless; ue must have more than ordinary nerve if bc can endure its superficial criticism?, its cant phrases, and its slovenly English. In these .spects the volume stands without a rival in contemporary religious literature, unless, indeed, that honor is divided by Dr. Cowies' previous commentaries. Tho greatest poet and prophet of antiquity is stripped of his singing robes of beauty and glory, and here appears disguised ia butternut from : head to foot. GLEANINGS FBOM Tnr. SHEAVES. p.y Tlev. C. H. Spurgeon. Second Fditton. New York : bheldon ia Co. 1600. This volume, which probably, if wc may judge from its mechanical beauty, was in? tended as a gift for Christmas, contains about one hundred and fifty sprightly ant glowing pens?es from Spurgeon's sermone. They are charged with the peculiar excel? lencies and eccentricities characteristic the great popular preacher. He writes the old-fashioned English of the Bible ant the elder Puritans, with manifold illustra? tions and fervid appeals to the Christian consciousness after the manner of "Ancient "Brooks." The collector has here given samples from Spurgeon's finest sheaves. _jj^ntfi._ WANTED, A BOY, BETWEEN twelve and fifteen years of ago, to do House? work. Must come well recommended.

NEW YOUK, November 3. 1868. To thc People of the Soul horn States : WHEN THE PURE MEDIC IN \L EESTOTUT] now so widely known as WOLFE'S JjCHlEI SCHNAPPS, was in roduced into tbe^rld ui tho endorsement of four thousand leading mern Ot the medical protession some twenty years agc propiietor was well aware that it could not wi escapo the penalty attached to all new and us preparations. Ho, therefore, endeavored to inve with strongest possible eafeauard against com feiter?, and to render nU attempts to pirate it i cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to at-. guiahed chemists for analysis, and pronounced them the purest spirit over manufactured. Its i ty and properties having been thus ascertained, E liles of the article were forwarded to ton thous physicians, including all the leading practitioner the United States, for purposes of experiment, circular, requesting a trial of the preparation an report of the result, accompanied each specim Four thousand of the most eminent medical me) tho Union promptly responded. Their opioionf thc article were unanimously favorable. Sue preparation, they said, had long been wanted the protession, as uo reliance could be placod on ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which ^ more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit medical purposes. The peculiar excellence I strength of thc oi of juniper, which formed on tho principal ingredients of tho Schnapps, toget with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ment, givo it, in the estimation of tho faculty marked superiority over every other diffusive s?t lant as a diurotic, tonic and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from profossiu men of tho highest rank were published in a c densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genui ne?s. Other precautions against fraud wero i adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, label was copyrighted, a/ac simile of tho propriotc autograph signature wa* attached to each label a cover, his name aud thatof the preparation were c bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed w bis private seal. No articlo had over been sold this country under tho name of Schnapps prior the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aroma Schnapps, In 1851; and tho label was deposited, his trade mark, in the United States District Co for tho Southern District of New York during tl year. It might be supposed by persons una-quaint with tho ? iring character of thc pirates who pi upon the reputation ot honorable merchants by voi lng deleterious trash under their name, that tho pi teclions so carefully thrown around tho30 Schnar would havo precluded tho introductions and sale counterfeits. Tbcy seem, however, only to ha shmulalod the rapacity of impostor*. The tro mark of th; proprietor has been stolen; the indon meut which hi? Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alo received from tho medical profession has be claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels n: bottles havo been imilated, his advertisements pai phrased, his circulars copied, and worso thau a dishonorable retailers, after disposing of thc genui contents of his bottles, have filled them up wi common gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, ai thus raado his name aud brjnd a cover tor poison. Tho public, the medical profession and tbs trie for whom tho Schiedam Aromarlo schnapps is in scribed as a remedy, arc equally iu.crestc : with ll proprietor in thedetcclioa aud supprcssiou of tho nciarious piaclicts. The gpim'ue article, mar.uia lured R? the establishment of tho undesigned Schiedam, Holland, is distilled fro n a barley of il finest quality, and flavored with an essential extra of tho berry of the Italian jut.lpc-, of unequalled p ri ty. By a process unknown in the preparation any other liquor, it la lrecd from every acriniouioi aud corrosive clement. Complaints have been receivod from tho Icidir physicians and families In tho Southern States i til" sale nf cheap imitations of tho Schiedam Ar. malic Schnippe in tlioso niarko'.s; and traveller who are in tho habit o? usina it a* au antidote to tl tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. Til agcnU of thc undersigned have hecu requested t institute iuquirfes ou the sitbject, an3 to forward t him the names of such parties as they may aeevi tain to be engaged in tho atrocious system of decor tion. In conclusion, Ibo undersigned would say tbs he has produced, from undo,- 'ho hands of the mo. distinguished men of scicm c in America, proofs ur answerable of the purity and niedieiuol excel leuce ol' the SchieJam Aromatic Selina] ps ; fur. ho has expended many thousand dollars in sur rouuding it with gu?ranteos and safeguards, whicl he designed should pro:ect. the public and himscl against fraudaient imitations; that ho has shown i to bo thu only liquor in thu world that can be uui formly depended upon as unadulterated; thtt bo ha: challenged iuvesrigation, aua'.yjis, comparison am experiment in all Its forms ?md from every ord ea Ihe preparation wh; li bear* his name, seal and trailt mark, has como off triumphant. Ho, therefore, feels it a duty bc owes to his ie!!ow-cit?z UB uoticrully, tc the medical profesi?n and the sick, to dcuounc. and expose the charlatans who couuterlelt those cvi d?meles of identity, and he calls upon the press and thc public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so grcal an evil.
