VOLUME VII.-NUMBER 1048. CHARLESTON, S. C., THURSDAY MORNING JANUARY 7, 1869. FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK BY TELEGEAPH. EVltOPE. NO CONFERENCE-DISTURBANCES IN SPAIN-NA T-OLEAX's NEW TEAK'S SPEECH-COLLIERY EX PEOSION-TERBTBLE LOSS OF LIFE-MOBBER IN ICELAND. PABIS, January 1_The conference on the Eastern r.ncstioa is postponed, and its mooting is improbable. The officiel journals say that the Emperor Napoleon, in addressing foreign ambassadors on New Year's day, will compliment tho? upci the exertions made by ibo Great Powere to settle the Eastern question, as a new pledge of the peaceful policy which Europo desires. It is reported that tba conference, if held, wt'li ad? here to tho Turkish ultimatum. A.dispatch from A'hens says that tho Grcok Assistant Slinistcr of War has gone to Cerigo to diabciul thc volunteers raised on that island. MADKID, January 1.-Disturbances havo oc? curred in Malaga, where barracades were erect? ed in the streets by somo of tho people; but the disorder is likely to be easily suppressed. The Carlist agitation continues in Navarre. CONSTANTINOPLE, January 1.-The Turkish Government, sines tho departure of the Greek Envoy, shows a good feeling towards th? Greek residents of this city. Tho "Turques" newspaper says that the Porto will withdraw the ultimatum sent to Greece before the con? ference assembles. LONDON, January 1.-A dispatch from Wigan reports, that a terribie explosion has occurred at the Haydock colliery. Twenty-tivo dead bodies have already been taken out of the mine. DUBLIN, January 1.-Colonel Bates, a justice of the peace at Tipperary, has been shot dead by unknown parties. No arrests. WASHINGTON. NEW YEAR'S DAY-LIQUOR PB08CBD3ED. . WASHTNOTON, January 1.-The day has been very disagreeable, but nevertheless there were the usual number of receptions, a very notice? able feature of which was that no wines or li? quors were offered to guests. Beast Butler and Senator Morton paid visits to the President, and General Grant's staff called in a body. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia, was inaugurated y: sterday. A Mrs. Wilkinson has obtained a verdict of $7500 against the Chicago Tribuno in a libel snit. Windsor and Morton, express robbers, were turned over to the United States authorities yesterday by the police of Windsor, Canada. AFFAIRS IN ORANGEBVRG. [FBOM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] OBANOEBUBQ, S. ?., December 31.-What has been thc result of '68 in this section of the State? It opened to the poopie-as docs the de? sert to tho wearied traveller-ruin, defeat, despair, debt, mocked them everywhere, and escape seemed hopeless; yet energy was left them, and with faith they again held the plough handle. A genial ' spring, a splendid summer and a favoring autumn rewarded the.r toil, and to-day they regard the piles of provi? sion with gratitude. The merchants of Orange burg, anticipating a full share of trade, laid in suitable stocks, and, judging from their activity in. attending the crewels who blocked their counters during the three weeks preceding Christmas, it is reasonable to suppose they appreciate the lull which no v exists. Aff tirs in this district (county), pardonnez moi, are in a healthy condition. True, hundeds formerly wealthy "are now ia poverty, yet hundreds are escaping the fettet s of debt which clogged their progress, and tho people want only time to restore themselves to prosperity. Negroes who worked with and under the di? rection of the planters have doue well; then earnings have been ample to equip them with comforts, clothing and provisions for another year; while those who farmed on their own ac? count are in a miserable plight, without food or clothing. I know of two gangB, embracing about thirty prime bauds, whose gross earnings were one bale of cottou and seventy Ive bush? els of corn. They rented over two hundred acres of land, and, to my certain knowledge, have paid only thirty-six dollars, (being one third of their crops), and to-day have not a peck of corn to go ou uext year. Tho OraDgeburg News has changed hands, and will probably its sentiments, mais nous verrons. Charleston is well represented here among the merchants, Messrs. John A. Hamilton, John D. Stocker, B. Jouncy and G. S. Shirer having located permanently among us. May '69 be as auspicious to Carolina as old '68, and a brighter era will dawn on her histor v. G?ELQUEFOI3." How TO BEDUCE Youn GAS Bru,_It isa matter of importance to many persons to be abie to keep their ga3 bills at tho lowest point, consistent with a full supply of light. By ob? serving tho following directions it will be found that gas bills may be brought down very much below what most of our readers havo been in the habit of paying : First.-In lighting your gas, turn the gas on the metro about one-half, then light the gas, and regulate the fights by the stop-cock that leis the gas into the metre. This prevents the pressure of gas from making the index move so fast. The gloater the pressure ot gas on the metre the faster it moves, and the larger will be the gas bill. Second.-From the time gas is usually light? ed until half-past eight or nine o'clock, the pressure is tho same. After the stores and shops are closed, the pressuro is greater ou the metres in use, and the stop-cock should then be turned at the metre so os to regulate the pressure. 1 An observance of these directions uay entail some little trouble, but it will most certainly reduce gas bills very materially. Many per? sons pay almost as much for ?as that is wast? ed as for what they consume, and waste may bo entirely prevented by following these rules. THE COTTON CBOP TN GEOBGLV.- Intelligent planters agree that two-thirds of the cotton crop of 18o8 bas already been sent forward. Mauy others say three-fourths of it has lef c the plantations, and has cither been sold or is now in warehouse. Y/o have received about 37,000 bales at this point, and the gross amount will Dot go ovor 60.000, against 80,000 last year. Its carly maturity, and the fine price which hos been constantly maintained from the beginning of the seasou, have great? ly facilitated its carly shipment to market. The cotton planters ol Georgia heve reaped a rich harvest of money from their crop this year. One or two more such will make thc State as rich, as freo and indeuendont as ever it was in its palmiest days. It took them two years to learn how to deal with iree labor. They now understand it perfectly, and every year hence will but add to the wealth anil prosperity of both races. -Macon Telegraph. BEFBIGEBATINO BAILBGAD CAES.-On the track of the Hudson Bivex ilailroad, New York, there is at present a railroad car designed for the transportation of fruit, fish, flesh, aud other perishable productions of the animal and vegetable kingdoms, long distances at moderate cost and without deterioration. Thc cai- is so constructed that any degree ot coid from zero upwards can be obtained, and in such a man? ner that while the most delicate fruits may be preserved for weeks they will not bq lroited. The car is, in fact, a huge fruit or meat-pre? server, acting on the principle of the preser? ving jar or can, tho only difference being that one obtains by the introduction o? cold what ihe others secures by heat-namely, thc ex? pulsion of the atmosphere. WASHINGTON GOSS IV. Closing up thc VVorlt of Amnesty-The Tortuga g Prisoners-Grane and thc Bafllcals. TUc Washington correspondent of the Kalti morc Gazette, under date of thc 2S)th instant, says : There is gool reason for believing that Pres? ident Johnson has concluded to finish up tho woik ot amnesty and- that right early, as tho opinion of three members of his Cabinet to-day urged him to do so. It was argued that con? sistency demanded that those guilty of lesser offences should not be allowed to suffer in prisons while free para n was gra-ated to all those who havo been fortuuate enough to es? cape imprisonment. A distinguished gentle? man in a position to know, strongly intimated this afternoon, after thc regular Cabinet me?t iug had adjourned, that thc political sufferers ai thc Dry Tortugas would soou bo released from their imprisonment. Mr. Johnson ex? presses great gratification at the spirit in which Iii? late pioclam.Uion has been received by tho whole country-a lew sore-head politi? cians only excepted. The efforts wh'oh are bein;? put forth by th 3 Radical leaders lo make General Grant a moro party instrument in the exocutivo chair, arc indeed persistent and herculean. Yet those who aro the moro intimately associated with thc President elect confidently prcdiet a dead failure on the pirt of these managing politi? cians. General Rawlins, who is believed to bo the only confidant of General Grant, has crown to be as dumb as his chief; and yet he ven? tures to enjoy an occasional laugh at thc dis? comfiture of tho Radicals, who tail in their ef? forts to draw from General Grant tho slightest intimation as to the future. General Grant has left town. Qiid nuncs aro busily employed in manufacturing groit political movemo?ts aa tho cause ot bis exit. It is known, however, that his visit to the North is a dodge to avoid calling on tba Presi? dent on New Year's Day, which etiquette en? joined, if he were in the city. Tho General probably did not wish to set au examplo of in? subordination in this respect. Tuis is not soidicrliko, and I have heard his "backing out" smartly criticised evou bv Radicals. GEANT ON ROTATION. The recent statements in tho correspondence of the New York Tribune purporting to give General Grant's views, and alleging that he would not remove office-holders on political grounds alone, have no trustwortuy founda? tion. It is well known by all of General Grant's friends tbnt bc is, and has been at all t'mes, in I favor of removing from office every Democrat whom he fiuds in place; and in ttXkhti! to his frionusbe speaks freely of "Copperheads" and rebels, ami never conceals his dislike for them. "LET TJ3 DAVE PEACE !'' A few days ago a respcctably-dnssed Indy appeared at General Grant's hcalquarteis a U asked his influence to secura an office under the government, enforcing her application upon the plea that she bnd two sons killed in tho late war. General Grant beard ber story, and then turned her ovur to General Dent, in? structing him to further inquire into the mat? ter, and if thc caso wa.s really a worthy ono to use his (Grant's) name in recommending lier for a position in one of the departments. Gen? eral Dent, in turn, listened to ber story, and finally asked her under what general ber sons were serving when they lost their lives. Tho lady hesitated, aud finally replied : "Well, to t tell the truth, air, oue waa serving under Gen? eral Ewel', and the other under Colonel Mos? by." Tho interview terminated at once, and General Grant did not endorse the application for a position. THE ALABAMA CLAIMS. It is believed in diplomatic circles that thc changes in the protocol for the settlement of the Alabama claims, which weie suggested by Secretary Soward m dispatches by a late steamer to Minister Johnson, have been ac? cepted by the ? ?glisb Ministry, and that tho treaty is in such shape that its speedy ratifica? tion by the United States Senate may be look? ed for as a matt ?r of cour s v. It is expected" that a messenger from Mr. Joh ison will arrive hero during tho coming month, bearing tbe ti caty in as complete a form as the English ' Government can make it at thia time. THE COLONS S BETWEEN GENERAL GRANT AND PRESIDENT JOHNSON - EMBARRASSMENT OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT-1 HE SEW DILEMMA OF IN? AUGURATION DAY. The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more Sun writes, nuder dato of the 30th ult. : Referring to the coldness between tho Presi? dent ?nd General Graut, tbo papers mention the embarrassment on the part of the latter attending tho observance of an old custom, or matter of official etiquette, on New Year's dav? in Washington, namely, tho cal. upon tho President which ali the officers of the army and navy stationed in Washington aro expect? ed to make on that day. It is suggested that General Grant ly his absonco from this city on Friday next, will b? relieved of this embarrass? ment. There is another custom observed between outgoing and incoming Presidents that, if ob? served on tho fourth of Maren, will renew the kind of embarrassment: referred to. Usually, on that day, the outgoing President notifies his successor of his readiness to i< company the latter to thc capitol, and does seat him in the Executive carriago and drive with him to tho place assigned for the inauguration cere? monies to take place. If Genera! Grant declines to come in contact with President Johnson on New Year's day, because of tho unpleasant feeling existing be? tween them, tho same cause will in all proba? bility induco lum to wish to avoid a iue.ti.ig with Mr. Johnson on tho 4:b of ilnr?l:. Prob? ably this embarrass;i?out mav be overcome consistently with G?uera! Grant'd practice ct avoiding prepared ovations and ccroinonien. He may decliuc thc inauguration ceremony, and quietly take tho executive oath beforca competent officer-eveu r, just:?' . of the peace andas quietly take posse?..!-cf the White House. C UAR LESION AND TAM WEST. ?hi Atlantic Ocean aud thc mississippi lt iver Join Hands. [From the Vicksburg (Miss.) Sentinel, Dec. 23 ] One of tho greatest drawbacks to trade and to the rapid development of enterprise m this city-and not only lias it bo-n felt here, but it has exerted its h.. :Aul influences upon trade all throughout the South-has been tho want of through railroad lines to connect the creal mart of America, New York, with tho trade conducted among us. By the old system ship? ments of goods were so long in reaching their destination that much valuable time has been lost and tho demand for the goods so shipped has been dwarfed. We havo long realized that we have at our command the elements ot this beneficial enterprise, and that it only required properly directed effort to develop" it. Thc completion of tho Rome Road lias proved the connecting liuk, and at once energetic effort was made to accomplish this grand result. Tho merchants of oui cuy aud Jackson have long looked anxiously forward t? ibo lime when the Mississippi River and the Atlantic Ocean might be linked together by one unbroken line ol railway, where unity ol" action and harmony would tend lo briug about this uracil desired purpose. The necessity of it has been so im? peratively felt that lut?o c?orts have b cu made to accomplish it in the past, bm unfortu? nately theso iflorts were unavailing. But we are gratified in being able to anootincc tliat, through thc indefatigable efforts of the officers along the liue the last obstacle has boen re? moved, und that to-day a lino is in operation by which goods have been shipped from New Yolk via Charleston and delivered in Rome, Georgia, in four dava, and along thc lino of thu Selma Road iu hve days, and could have been.delivered in this city in six days. A ship? ment of cotton was made over this liuo by Messrs. Lamkiu & Egglciton on the l?th instant, which wa3 received in Charleston on thc 20th, just four days'interval. This ship? ment beyond a doubt will bo delivered in New York city on the 24th instant, and could have reached that city two days earlier hut that it missed thc Charleston aiid New York steamer, and Wds therefore compelled to remain iii Charleston awaiting shipment by a steamer which lett two days later. The ?ates are as low as the lowest, being from New York to Vicksburg per 100 pounds, first class freight, ?2 27; second class, $2 Ol; third class, SI GO and fourth clad?, ?1 07. O.ie great advantage pos? sessed by this lino is that there is only uno re? shipment between this city and New York, and that occurs at Charles lon when transferred from thesttftmer to tho cars. A THU Hilt LE NARRATIVE. Farther Details of the Loss ot llic II ?bc nia-Marvellous Escape of some of tl Boats-Awful Sutt?rlng-Some of tl Passengers become Insane and Lea into thc Ucean. Our English files are filled wi tb thc harroi ing details of tho loss of the steamship Hibe nia, which recently foundered at sea ou tl passage from New York. We copy thc follov ing narrativo of Air. Davis, the second office who had a marvellous escape in one of tl ship's boats : When wo left the Hiber.ua, wc bad ia 01 boat two barrels of biscuit, three casks i water and several tius of preserved meat. Tw hours atter leaving the ship wo found tho boi was so full that we deemed it necessary i throw one of tho barrels of biscuit overboar to make room for the passeugc.s. The bo: was a life-boat, twenty-two feet long, with si or seven feet beam. Ono woman had tw children, of threo and fivo years old, rcspc( tivcly, and another an infant ol' six mouth old. Our boat wa3 leaking badly when w started, and it required two men constant! bailing to keep ber afloat: Soon after leavin tho Hibernia, we fell astern of the other boats being only able to pull two oars, owing to ou crowded condition. When the first mate' boat was capsized, we attempted to get roun and assist them, but, being nearly swamped i doing so, we woro obliged to attend to our ow safety. During that day we pulled before tb wind", but at nigh", wo lay to by means of floating anchor, and endeavored to make th boat as trim as possible. Wo triod to mak the women as comfortable as we could b spreading tarpaulins over tho forward part c the boat. Nobody asked to get anything t cat the first day, all being too anxious to thin of eating. Ou tho following (Thursday morning wo got a lugsail set on thc boat, air made the best of our way for the Irish coast before a southwesterly breeze. Nothing of noto occurred that day, but th following night (Friday) an old mau. who hat shown symptoms of derangement, jumpei overboard. Baying be was going to bed. O the third day tho breeze fell very light, and w had to take to the oars. Next morning, one o t?e passengers, suppled to be Francis ltodg ers, suddenly threw himself overboard. ? woman, supposed to bo his sister, pleadei hard that some of us should throw her into th sea after him; but wo endeavored to sooth her, and succeeded in somo degree. Bodger was evidently out of his sen ?es. Ho had quar relied witli us because wo nailed the compas to tho thwarts, fie wanted thc knees cf hit trousers darued, ap "ho could not," ho said "go home with holes in thom." Up to thi time piovisions bal been given in modorati quantities, and each person bad a daily allow anco of a pint of water. Wo bad, however, ti shorten tho allowance. We bad to keep-pull ing both on the fourth and fifth days, and du not make much progress. Sunday was cala all day. The children hitherto had been toi erably lively. The infant was fod on mashci biscuit, its mother having no milk, and th? others got biscuit and preserved meat, witl a small quautity of preserved fruit. The want of sufficient water now began tc bo felt, and owing to tho closo packing of al in the boat, and the frequent wettings, cramp; wore very general. Wo were forced to iceej everything in one position as much as possible to avoid capsizing. Up to Monday no ono bat seriously complaiucd of the discomforts, and all wore iu tolerable spirits. Tho seamen du ail in their powor to inspire hopo, and tu( quartermaster, Blair, spun yarns to keep theil spirits up. Ou Wednesday tho second engl neer sung the one hundredth psalm, and mauj joined with him. That day the wind blow hare rrom tho southwest, and we had to bring the boat to by using the sail and two of out* oars a; a floating anchor, and in doing to lost both sai and oars. It was useless to seek for them, il being no tv dark; so we had to make a sail oui of a piece of tarpaulin, and bo content with one oar and a half that wo had with us in thc boat. Tho wind blowing freshly, tho tarpau? lin was torn"iiTfo rage, aud wo substituted foi it bed covers. These latter were also soon de? stroyed. Samuel Brewster, an old man, died on Wednesday, after going raving mad. Many of our number now showed signs of madness; probably from despair and exposure to extreme cold. Some became violent and threatening in their conduct, and we had to use forco with certain of them, and gradually we got them calmed down. Early on Thursday morning, a child five years of age died, and shortly afterwards its mother expired. Another child took lockjaw, and died also. The bodies wero tbiowu overboard. The effect on the survivors was very visible. All this time wo were making slow p ogress to? wards the Irish coast. Tho torn tarpaulin bad beon mended in t ho best fashion we could, und served in a kind of way for a lugsail. Provi? sions and water wore now giveu in small quan? tity. Ono of the barrels of biscuits was found to be much soaked with sea water, and one of the fresh water casks had leaked half of its contents. Wc bad to disregard the appeals for drink, aud tho cons?quence was thatjsov eral seamen took to quenching their thirst with salt water in spite of our remonstrances. This waa continued until a number got per? fectly mad. Walter McFarlane, fireman, was oue of tboso who persisted in taking saltwater, and his conduct becaruo BO dangerously out? rageous that bo bad to bo tied to the bottom. He died in this state. On friday momiug we bad sailed four bun died and hfty miles. Tho tarpaulin sail bad given way half a dozan times, and as often mended, and, on tho whole, thc boat had gone very well. This day the ii tant died. Our situation had become miserable in the ex? treme. The sea was breaking over tho boat in clouds of spray, wetting every ouo to tho skin, and all were sitting in pools of water. There was uothing now to cover thu women, as wo had used everything for sails. Cramp had sei-rl all of ut?, mor;- or ip."s. and our legs and bauds were greatly swelled, and, consequently, very painful. The fresh water waa so scarce that less than a pint had lo serve tour persons fur a day, and provisions wero equally scanty. Som s otu? were raving and violently mad. A womau died as tho evening closed in, but the fact was not noticed at the time, and the body was still in tho boat when the greatest of ail our calamities occurred. Abojt ll o'clock a heavy wave struck the boat, and thoso on board in their drowsy coudit.on falling sudden? ly in a mass to tho lee side, she went over, and ali wore left struggling in the water. Tho boat floated upwards, and Reilly managed to strugglo up and seat himself upou the keel. He assisted Blair to got up, which thc latter did with some difficulty, as a drowning pas? senger had laid bold of his leg. Reilly then assisted Mr. Darios, who bad also to shake himself clear of some one cliugingto his foot. No others got hold of thc boat, though several were heard fora time shouting or swear? ing aa tiiev swam about in ibo dr rkness. Ono poor soul had got under the boat, ul bo was heard for nearly half au hour. Hs was appa? rently holding un by the thwarts, and breath? ing the air which bad been enclosed who., the boat rolled over, or which reached him through thc chiuks in h r timbers. About twelve o'clock a heavy sea struck thc boat, and thc three w! o wero sitting astride of tho keel were again : : incised in the water. Blair was thc tirst to re? cover his position, ?ind by Iiis assistance thc other two mon wrought op on the bout. Tho sail was floating alongside, and wo got hold ot the ropes attached to tho mast, and, watching for a favorable opportunity, managed, by pull? ing upon tho ropoj, to gel tho boat righted. She was, of course, full of water, and wo haded her at lirsfc with flat pieces of wood, and after? wards with two tin cans which ive found attach? ed to the thwarts. At length, by bard labor, wc got Uer clear. Everything wau lost out ot tue boat except one oar, thc must, (he tarpau? lin sail and the yard, and wo wore tims left without provisions or water. When da;, light broke, we agaiu made sail upon ihe boat as weil as we could, and again steered our conreo to thc eastward, with a favorable wind. By Sunday evening we were beginning lo got down-heatted.? \\? saw :t sail-the tirsi we had seen-but she did not observe us, aud darkness shortly after closing in, wc had no light with which lo attract attention. We were downcast at this, but about six o'clock we wero suddenly cheered by seeing a light to Ibo east? ward, which turned out to be from Tory Is? land lighthouse. Wo made for thc light, though it was blowing sirougly from tin south? west, with a heavy sea running. On getting close to the laud,'we found ourselves umotig dangerous breakers, and were forced to make our way out asaii? to save our lives. Wo ran out some five miles and brought to to wait for davligbt. About this tim? some heavy showers fell, thc first of any consequence that we bad met with aincc the wreck, and we employed every means .within oui-reach to catch a little fresh water, of which wc stood so terribly in Deed. At day? light ou Monday morning, wo once moro set our sail, and made tor tho land, determined to get ashore at all hasards. We ran along the shore for soino distanco till we saw a likely place in Mulroy Bay, on tho west sido of Ben? nett Point. Having a favoring breeze, we made a race for the shore, and ran the boat up with such force that the receding wave left her stern dry upon tho beach. After coming ashoro, we found our limbs swollen to such an extent that it was utterly impossible to move. IIIXTS O-V AGRICULTURE. Poullain's System of Colton Culture-The Details and Economy of the .System - Its Profitableness-Thc Limit of Pro? duction. In a letter, published in the Georgi t papers, Mr. Philip Poullain bas given more explicit in? formation in regard to his system of cotton planting. Ile says: It must bo apparent lo every ono that the revolution which has been made in our system of labor, has mide necessary a new system of xotton culture. The labor upon which tho growth of cotton has heretofore depended, does not appear to bo either increasing or like? ly to increase There is no indication that when trained hands or this generation pass off in tho course of nu turc,-that their places can be supplied from tho same source. To regain .our agricultural prosperity, these conditions make it requisite that wo should devise some improved system of culture waich will give us an increased yield from a small area. We must cultivate less land and make that land profitable by making it proouce as much as our extended cultivation formerly yielded. Having, during the experience of many years, discovcied that tho losses in the cotton crop were, in a great degree, o .ring to the want of deep preparation of the soil in pre? venting the roots of the plant from penetra? ting to the dopth of perpetual moisture, I adopted thc method of digging holCB- say from fifteen to twenty-four inches deep and two feet square, throwing out the clay and fill? ing tho whole with anrfico soil. By tine method I make a soil from 15 to 24 inches deep. Should the Boil bc poor, I manure it richly in the prepared hole. Tho quantity and tho quality of the manum demands tbe best judgment of the farmer. Oar ploughing is not generally four inches deep. Cotton planted with such preparation can only scud its roots about five inches deep. When drouth overtakes it tho fibrous roots and the tap roots being near the surface aro destroyed, or more or less injured by beat, from want of moisture. Thc plant then sheds most of its forms. On tho improved plan above indicated tho roots of tho plant penetrate from fifteen to twenty-four inches into tito region of perpetual moisture. No drought can affect it. The cot? ton has uninterrupted growth, and tho wholo or nearly all ot the forms mature. Cotton is an exotic. Tho longer the season can b" had upon it, provided tho preparation ol tho soil is adapted to it, tho moro it will produce. Thc larger (not taller) the stock be c mies tho greater number of blooms it will make irom day to day. The proportioned in? crease at tho proper Beason, from day to day, ia wonderful. It was to meet this point that i adopted tho method of tranaplanting iu ordina? ry usc by gardeners and horticulturists, but I found it too slow and cxpensivo to be applied lo field culture. This led me to seek a now mode. My invention of tho method of transplanting consists, or arises, from tho shape aud nature of my cup. Tbs cup ia tho friiatruin or a cono open at both cuds-say four inches long, four inches broad at tho bottom, and three inches broad at the top. Theao cups are to be placed in hot beds-say a bed in each acre, fifteen feet long and five feet broad. 1 he largo ead of ' the cup rests upon the bottom of the bod, and .the smallend up. They should be filled with rich earth, woods earth : preferable, and suoh cups planted with oight or ten seed, from four lo eight weeks before the usual planting time. Care should be taken tc?theat" the seed to in? sure quick germination. ': At the proper time, after the seed has como up the planter "thins ! bia crop "to a Btand," according to his judg? ment, easily and quickly, with the fingers, by simply pulling up tue surplus plants of weaker growth. To insure perfect success, the hot beda should bo closely uiado and covered with glass. The cups, soon alter the cotton ger? minates, ia filled with tK-; tup and fibrous roots of the plaut, which preserves them from injury. Whilst the plants are in the hot bed it is often necessary to water thora, but thia is easily and quickly done with a watering-pot. When there ia no longer danger from spring frosts tho planter transplants tue contents of each cup into tho place prepared tor it by drawing tho cup over tho plant. Attention should bo had to airing the pla ?us whou tho weather is warm and tavo'able to open cul? ture. Now, as to the limit of production, which seems to have taxed your credulity so sorely, lhere are 13G1 holea or hills in an aero of ground, prepared according to my method, say eight feet from row to row, and four feet in tho drill (and not eight feet, as you have erroneously stated it.) The general estimate is that 100 full grown pods or boles will make a pound ot soed cotton. Two-third-) of the weight of seed cottou is due to the seod, ot, in other words, there can bc gotten one-third weight ot but cottou from any given number of pounds of aced cotton. Now, with 13C1 hills to tho acre, thc yield wdl bo as follows: No. hills. Ko. pods Lbs seed Lbs. lint or bulls. cotton. cotton. 1361.100 13C1 403 1361....200 2722 9U7 1301.3U0 4i)t3 1361 1361.100 4144 18?1 1361.600 6805 2208 1361.5D0 8 ICC 2722 Now the best hill that I ever made, with the best cluster seed from two stalks, was nearly Bevon hundred pods. Those uti my neighbors have seen, ad well as all of my experiments. This, iu my judgment, is the limit of produc? tion. But, my dear sirs, nobody a-?sumos that the standard of perfection reached by experi? ment eau bo taken as an average. No ono has been misled by thc perfection iu wheat culturo attained by the experiments of thc Athona club last season. Nevertheless these standards murk tho limit of production, to which wo may approximate a gcueial average. I am not prepared to aay how much cotton can be made as au average per acre by my plan. With tho best soed I am convlncod that an average ot from 400 to 500 pod6 can bo bad to tho hill or hole, under favorable circum? stances, when distance enough is allowed for an expansive growth. I feel assured that from live to six thousand pounds of seed cotton can be ruado to the acre upon my plan. It is impossible tor me lo state accurately thc cost of cultivation per acre by my method ut this time. I think it much m ire profitable than our oid plan, and would be glad to see* it thoroughly costeo by a number of persons, and will cheerfully, for this purpose, accord to them the uso of my patent upo.) application io me (No. 391, Eutaw placo, Baltimore). Tuc sourced from which 1 look to profit over the old system are as follows : Three or four acres ia cotton would bc suffi? cient to the hand. One-fourth tho horse power only will he re? quired for a oliven production of cotton. One ntih ot the fencing only will bc required. Much labor in cultivation will ho dispensed with, ex? cept in picking. The cotton seed made to each hill will enrich thc same hill from year to year, as thc ?oil ia only deprived or liio lint,' auu there is hut little loss by evaporation. -Thu preparation for thc second year upon the s:u:ic ground will be much decreased, inas? much as so deep preparation of the soil re? mains, in a great degree, unimpaired. Up? i hill sides it daves a great deal of labor, much of which is lost, and avoids thc effects of wash in- nuns. The glass tor each acre is somewhat expen? sive, but uot near so expensive as the cost ol' extra horsos and extra feud, which would bc required hy our old plans, When cared for tho glass hot hod is stock in trado, and will last for a number of years. The cups of earthen or jug ware will last for fifty years, and aro also stock in trade, requir? ing no food or extra ciro. They can bo ma le ut any pottery at a cost ol' not exceeding S18 per thousand." I am nuder the impression that in a short time they cac bo had at cheap? er rates, propably of a material that will make their cost insignificant. This principle wilt probably be introduced into tobacco culture, and is admirably adapted to thc wauis of horticulturists, while market gardeners, who aim at thc earliest vegetables for market, will find ita protijable investment. -A Mississippi railroad "secured a new sup? erintendent by giving him $50,000 in Its stock and assuring him a salary of ?15,000 a year for ten years. THE POPE AND THE SULTAN.-A itoman cor respondent, UDder date of tho 5th ult., writes : Fuad Pasha, who was lately given over by thc physicians,' has now so far recovered his health that he has been able to pay a visit to the Popo. Ho wf.8 received by tho Holy Father in the most cordial manner, and they soon chatted as familiar friends, while the Turk-was profuso in bis expressions, of gratitude for the attentions paid to him by tho Pope during his illness. Tho Holy Father, on his patt, de? scribed the Sultan as his meilleur ami among thc sovereigns of Europe, and spoko gratefully of tho toleration ho extended to Roman Catho? lics, nut forgetting to add that he hoped his highness would grant them further privileges. Fuad Pasha remarked that tho Sultan deeply regretted h3 bad been uuablo to visit Come OD his late tour through Europe, when the Pope rejoined with a laugh, "?v'ho knows but I shall go to soe bim at Coistantinople ? You aro not ignorant that Christ has given me all tho earth, and my empire extends to the Dardv neUes and far beyond, but .unlike that of a neighbor monarch, threatens no dangers to the Sultan. Indeed, bis highness and myself aro in much tho same situation as to neigh? bors, for be has his Piedmont in P.ussia, and I have my Czar in tho Italian Revolution. We are menaced by the same dangers, and our brother rulers havo thc same measure for tho Cross as the Crescent. At least your sover? eign believes in his prophet, but the other governments of our day do not believe even in God." The H->ly Father then requested Fuad Pasha to use hi J good offices with.the Sultan for tho proteclion of Catholics in every part of tbe Ottoman Empire, aud hero the interview came to an end.

Dear as thou wert, and justly dear, We would not woep for ihee, One thought shall check tho.starting tear, It is that thou ort free. And thus shall faith's consoling power, The tears Of love restrain, Oh I who that saw thy parting hour, Could wish thee here again. Gently tho pissing spirit fled, Sustained by grace divine.
