It was declined through no want of respect for tho company, which is understood to he eminently respectable, but bocauso General Leo fools that his rnifesL"n ?3 tho education of tho youth of tko South. -At a late duel in Louisiana, between two high-spirited gentlemen of color, tho parties discharged their pistols without effect, where? upon one of the seconds proposed that tho combatants should shako hands.

It has furnished work to ono hundred and sixty-two women, has paid out nearly ten thousand dollars iu wagoa, and has increased its lund by moro than a thousand dol?ais, or at a rate of more than two per cent, a month. -Tho annual sales of merchandise in Boston amouQt to nearly $1,000,000,000. This is seo ond to the sales of New York. Othor Araeri oan cities roport aggregate sales as follows : Philadelphia, $662,000,000; New Orleans, $526, 000,000; Chicago, $342,000,000; Baltimore, $324, )00,000; Oincinnati,$213,000,000; Sr. L mis.$213, )00,000; San Francisco, $151,000.000; Louisville, H26.000.000; Milwaukie, $100,000,000. None of the remaining cities reach $100,000,000 of sales annually. -The foreign immigration returns of 1868 show a falling off of thirty thousand iu the Arrivals at New York as compared with 1867. So far as the Irish are concerned the emigra? tion to thia country will be less hereafter than it has been in previous years, owing to the dry? ing up of tho source of supply in Ireland itself. The decrease of German emigration to Amor: sa can be accounted for by the idea prevalent in Europe that the demand for labor and the reward for labor hero at this time are less than they have been in other years. --It is estimated that no less than two hun? dred thousand persons aro now residing in New York city who havo no work, no roal homes, and no means which insure them a livelihood. Some of them beg or steal out? right; but a large number eke out a miserable existence by running into debt for lodging and board, or by borrowing from week to wee'.; of whomsoever will lend them, or by quartering themselves on reluctant relatives or friends. The result is reported to be au aggregate of want, squalor, misery aud degradation fearful to contemplate. -Tho tunnel under the Chicago River, known as the Washington-street Tunnel, connecting the south and west divisions of tho city by a solid and permanent roadway, has just been oom pie led, and will be open to the public to? day. Tho contract price was $328,500. The length of tho work is about 1605 feet; of the retaining walls of the open, approach on the west side, about 320 feet, and 275 feet on the east side. The length of the main archway, or covered way, is 982 feet. There aro three archways leading through tho tunnel; one is for foot passengers, and two for teams and horses. -Tho citizens of San Francisco have formed a joint committee on tho investigation of earth? quakes, who are authorized to examino into the causes of their catastrophe, and the best method of preventing a repetition of the great destruction of property in that city. The sub? committees have already been formed to report cr. building materials, limes, cement, structu? ral designs, and on the history of earthquakes in California. The bricks used in San Fran? cisco are reported to be very defective, in con? sequence of the ignorance of the proper pro? portions and the proper way of burning them. The adoption of a method of biaoing buildings with iron rods ls also recommended. -A Washington telegram to the Baltimore Han of Saturday, says: The effect of tho Presi? dent's amnesty proclamation is yet tbe subject of argument and doubt among Congressmen and others, and it is asked, "Does the procla? mation remit or cancel all penalties, and ro Hevo against all disabilities ?" Among" com? petent judges, there does not appear to be any doubt that it can be pleaded in bar to pending criminal prosecutions, and that it is within the power and province of tic Executive to pardon, whether before or after a judicial con? viction; but does the proclamation relieve ss to tbe disabilities described ia the new amend? ment to the constitution-the Fourteenth r Thia is the mooted question. May those who participated in the rebellion now hold office and ?ote; are the disabilities provided in the Four? teenth amendment intended as penalties; and if and remove the penally? In answer it ie claimed by some thatv notwithstanding tho recently adopted Fourteenth amendment, which pro? vides for tho removal of disabilities by a twe thirds vote of Congress, the President's power is complete, and his pardon accomplishes ex? actly what the Congress may do by a two-thirds vote; that tho Fourteenth amendment does not ropcal the second article of the constitution, but at mott only gives Congress concurrent power with tho Executive in the subjeot named; that under the amendment Congress may do this thing by a two-thirds vote. Under thc second article, tho Exoutivo can, by his pardon, accomplish the same result. Such is tbe sub? stance mf the argument held by some officials, legal men and Congressmen, and there is BO much conflict of opinion on this important subject that in all probability there will bo no donni te settlement of it until a judicial deoision shall be had. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 4, 1869. More Money. Southern produce of every kind is going forward lo market in a steady and unfail? ing stream, and already the North is re? mitting her millions to pay for the cotton, rice, sugar and molasses sold by the South? ern States. On the 28th ult. one New York bank alone forwarded one and a half million of dollars to the South, and for some time to come the influx of currency must oonlinue to be rapid and large in volume. At the present prices the cotton orop is worth about two huudred and fifty million of dol? lars, and to this is to be added the large crop of rice and the floe crop of sugar and molasses which is now making itself felt in the market. This should cause money to" be abundant in the South, and justifies thc belief that we are on the threshold of easier and better times. If the South had been as extravagant during thc past two years as she was before the war, or if she were now as loaded down with debt as she was in the good old times, even the rich and bounteous crops of 1868 would do her but little permanent good. Rut we have cleared off our most pressing iucumbranccs; we have learned lo want but little, and, as p consequence, by far the greater part of the hundreds of millions of d oj lars resulting from the sale of the pro? duce of our fields will remain in Southern pockets. The planter and farmer, the mer? chant and tradesman, will divide tho bulk of the money amongst them, and will be ready to spend it when they can do so with advantage, and not before. What wo make this year wo keep; or we spend it eu Southern soil. .Wo do not now hurry lo the North to spend all the money we made, and more besides. What we have we w.oiked hard for, and intend to hold hore; and if there are some who will go on in the old easy road, they will not do it for long. We are learning the lessons of self knowledge, self-confidence and self-control; and the millions which the. South earns this eeason-the fruits of untiring labor pursued amidst a myriad difficulties-will be laid out in building up the South, instead of be? ing spent, as millions have been spent be? fore, in frippery and dissipation.

Ry the late William N. White, of Athens, Ga. Illustrated. New York : Orange, Judd & Co. For sale by John Russell, King-street. In 1866 Mr. White made arrangements for the publication of a new and enlarged edition of his well known work "Gardening for the South," which had long been out of print. The author intended to iaaue the book at once, but waited for the meeting of the American Pomologioal Society that ho might make the new edition especially fall as regarded Southern, fruits. Mr. White, however, died before the meeting of the Society in 1867,- and the incompleto mafia? script fell into tho hands of Mr. J. Van Buren, of Ci arks ville, Ga , an eminent po urologist, who compiled and wrote out tho prineipal part of tho sections on froift cul? ture. Tho rest of tho work was revised by Dr. James Camak, and as it oomoo beforo experience of the late Mr. White, aud of Mr. Yan Buren and Dr. Camak. In every department the book is as completo as it could bo made, and may be taken as a thor? oughly practical treatise on the culture of vegetables and fruits in the Southern States. In the opening chapter the formation and management of gardons is discussed, and attention is next given to soils and their characteristics, the improvement of the soil, and the souroes, preparation and uses of manures. These sections are full of sound, sensible reasoning, and contain much volu? ble information. The next chapter is upon the rotation of orops; and tho authors then treat of the propagation of plants, budding and grafting, pruning and training, shad? ing and watering, the way of protecting plants from frost and of destroying insects and vermin. The ooncluding chapters treat of vegetables and fruits and their culture, and give tho peculiarities and best systems for each kind. E?w**\r?le of thumb" is no longer to be applied to the culture of fruits and vegeta? bles in tho South. Each farmer or gar? dener wanta to knew what his neighbors are doing, and what experience has shown to be the most profitable modes of cultiva? tion. There will be in each locality some particular condition of climate or soil which will require that the details of the garden? ing system be conformed to the wants of that particular spot. But a broad, compre? hensive, and sound general working plan is needed everywhere, and we have seen no work which comes as fully up to the standard of the common need as this new edition of '?Gardening for the South." APPLETONS JUVENILE ANNUAL FOB 1869. A Christmas and Now Year's Gift for Young People. New York : D. Appleton & Co. Charleston : John Bussell. This is a capital book for young people. It is fresh, bright and amusing, and ia wholly,free from moral namby-pambyism.
