It is said he is somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Nyasa a, near thc confines of Zanzabar. Owing, it is thought, to the wars between the native tribes, hia progress has been impeded, and consequently he has been unable to reach the seacoast. -The New York Journal of Commerce says: . Mr. Charles Easton, formerly a cotton broker' j in this city, retired several years ago from business with an ample competence, and has since been abroad. He returned a few months ' ago in less than his usual robast health, and, gradually fading since, departed this life on ' Sunday last, in the sixty-fifth year of his age. I He was eminently an honest, faithful man- , trusted and beloved by all who knew him. , -Frank Leslie's new illustrated newspaper, , the New World, proposes to introduce a new \ feature into American journalism. It will give ( a bill of fare adapted to each day of the week throughout the season, with directions for its 1 preparations, Seo. This is a Parisian idea. * Baron Brisse, in Paris, a famous epicure, pub- i fishes every morning, in one of the daily pa- j pera, what he is going to have for dinner, and , ao famous has his bill of fare become, so taste- ( fol and appropriate to the season, that several of the great restaurants regulate their dinners ' by it, and hundreds of private families, instead of giving particular directions to their ser- ] vants, tell them to follow the Baron's direc- < tiOns. , -The use of steel, instead of iron, for the 1 rails of railroads, bas not been productive of j the saving which was at first expected. The surface of the steel rail is indeed harder, and therefore wears better than iron; but steel has j not the tough, fibrous character of iron, and, 1 in frosty weather, it breaks with alarming - ease. Then, although the first cost of steel is < . nearly double that of iron, old steel rails sell ] for little or nothing, while old iron rails are worth half the price of new. Taking all these facts into account, it is found to be cheaper to lay down good iron rails than steel ones, ex? cept in the vicinity of stations where there is a great deal of friction from the frequent breaking up of trains, and but little rapid movement. Experiments are, however, being made, und with considerable success, to manu? facture an iron rail with a steel top, so as to combine the toughness and cheapness of iron with the hard-wearing surfaoe of steel. -The Reconstruction Committee holds a session every day. It was determined the other day to have printed tor distribution all of the evidences submitted, affecting in any way the interests of the Southern people. A proposition is pending bofore the committee to reject the votos of seven counties in Missis? sippi whioh gave 11,000 Democratic majority, and by the rejection of whioh the constitution could be declared adopted. A large number of affidavits have been filed charging that the election in these seven counties was frauda? ient, bat the reports of General Gillern and his subordinates show the eleotion to have been fairly conducted in all respects. Statements, affidavits and protests ate pouring in on the committee from Georgia Radicals, all protest? ing against the proposed Congressional inter? ference with the affairs of that State. Mr. Farnesworth, a member of the committee, has in coarse of preparation a bill relieving from political disabilities a large number of citizens ineaehofthe States lately in rebellion. He hopes to be able to report this bill in a few ! day?, and if successful, it may soon be followed by another ot a still more general character. -A Washington letter of Wednesday to tbe Baltimore Gazette says: "There was great in? terest manifested to-day by all parties in the House of Bepresentatir^s to hr.jr the Hon. Elihu B. Washburn?, as it was generally un deratood that he would speak bj authority from General Grant; and th? fact that he read from printed slips, pasted on skeet* of foolscap, gave curren cy to the rumor. Mr. Washburn? has never before been known to prepare a Speech in ?dranos, and rarely uses notes when addressing the House. Th? speech delivered to-day ls said to haye been submitted I? and ap proved by tho President elect as sa authoritc tive foreshadowing of what his polioy would be. Just prior to Mr. Washburne's rising to address the House, Attorney-General Evarts entered tho Representative Hall and hold a short conference with him, which, hom the bobbing ot heads that followed soemod to bo mutually satisfactory. Tho Republican members were very quickly gathered around Mr. 'Washburne's seat, while the Demo orals sat in silent, but attentive isola? tion on the opposite Bido of tho hall. The first proposition commenced was that *a new de? parture had to be taken1 by the Radicals-tho whole polioy of the porty had to bo changed. This announcement caused an extraordinary opening of ryes and priokiug up of ears. Hchenck remarked to his colleague, Garfield, 'that, indeed, sounds as if speaking by au? thority.' After depicting tho demoralizing ef? fects of a bloated paper currency, Mr. Wash burno ventured his second proposition, viz: tho plundering of the public treasury by rob? bers engaged in contracts and the squandering of the publio lands would have to cease. 'Good 1* exclaimed Mr. Brooks, of New York, and several other Demoorats. Mr. Washburne continued, and with his voice at its highest pitch, announced that ' Representatives must understand that they oro but the servants of the people they represent, and ore not to legis? late for the benefit of themselves and the gam? blers which crowd Washington.' Tbis is, in? deed, plain talk, coming, as it does, from the President eleot, who evidenlly intends that Congress shall understand, from tho very jump, that it is but a co-ordinate branch of the government, and must keep within its proper constitutional limits." CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING. JANUARY 9, 1869. The Upshot of the Mandama*. We publish in full this morning the opin? ion of the Supreme Court of this State, as pronounced by Justice Willard, in the case of the State ex relatione Gilbert Pillsbury vs. the Acting Board sf Aldermen of the City of Charleston, and also the opinion of Chief Justice Moses, concurring in the general result, but dissenting from some of the rea? sons expressed in the opinion. The complainants claimed that it was the duty of the Acting Board of Aldermen to declare the election; that they had not de? clared the eleotion, and they therefore ap? plied for a writ to compel them to declare it. And they further asked that, as the examination already made showed that the claimants had been elected, the respond? ents be compelled to install them ia their offices. The respondents answered that they had declared the election illegal and void, and that even if they had not the power so to declare it, yet the eleotion was void, and the Supreme Court having the oase before it, could not do otherwise than declare the illegality of the eleotion. The opinion of the oourt is, that it was the duty of the Board of Aldermen to de? clare the election, and that the announce- | i ment ef a judgment that the election was illegal and void was not such a declaration j j as was intended by the Legislature, and was, moreover, entirely beyond ?he power granted to the Aoting Board of Aldermen by the act regulating the eleotion. The power conferred and duty imposed by that act were merely ministerial, and not judi? ci al. The Aoting Board of Aldermen could I and should examine the returns and declare l who was elected according to those returns; < but oould net and should not deoide whether 1 the eleotion had been legal or illegal. The oourt was also of the opinion that the ques* ' Lion of the illegality of the eleotion was not J properly before it, and therefore could nat i be determined. It was, therefore, bound to grant the writ of mandamus to compel the respondents to deolare the election; but as the grounds of the complainants' claim were aot before the oourt, and they could, in t fact, have no claim until after the election j was deolared, the mandamus oould net be ! ?xtended to compel the induction of the ?laimants into office. The effect of this deoision will be to com? pel the Acting Board of Aldermen to de? slere who was elected Mayor and Aldermen . , >f Charleston at the late election, as shown 1 dy the examination of the A "turns which hey have made; but unless the Acting ?oard of Aldermen voluntarily vacate their >laces, the persons declared elected will be eft to their remedies at law. In plain English, if Mr. Clark and the present Al? lermen oheose to oppose Mr. Pillsbury and tis Aldermen, the latter cannot get into >ower without further resort to the courts, vhioh may occasion months, or even years, if delay. Money and M?tele. | e The millions of fertile acree which now ie uncultivated, the mineral wealth of the noun tain ranges, the swamps and barrens vith. their massive, timber and resinous roods, the phosphatio rooks and porcelain lays, the mill-sites and the water-power, re all powerless to attraot immigration and apital, unless the knowledge of them is ridespr?ad And general amongst the peo? ne whom we invite to help us and help hemseWes in developing the resources of he South. It is very diffioult to sow broad asfc the seed of information aa to the tem? .er of the people, the character of the soil, he nature of the climate, and the prospecto f making money; it being evident that rhat we ourselves may say of ourselves rill be taken with at least a grain of sus lioioa. We are, therefore, compelled to rust to foreign agencies to make known rhat we want and what we oau do, and we .re disposed to Advise that the fullest in ormation be given to either individuals or ompanies, wk? make it their business to sreach the gospel of Son thorn ?sd mprovement. We publish thin morning the prospectus if tke Souther* Land and Settlement Agency, of New York, which has fer it? tbject tke introduction of oapital and im nifrants into the South, and, collaterally, he diffusion of information in regard to ko necessities, condition and disposition of ko Soutkorn people. Tko prospectus oon ains a number of questions to wkiek sn? iffers are requested; and wo urge tko land twners throughout tko State to five tko natter their immediate Attention. At wo inderstAad it, there If no risk. There ts io foo unless work li done. There li s prospect of gain and no danger of lose. Mr. Bourne is well recommended by respon? sible Arms in the North, and is confident that he oan so represent eur case as to cause foreign capital and foreign muscle to pour in upon us, until wo have obtained ns much as we require. These sanguine expec? tations may not be fully realized, but every nore of land sold, and every dollar of money introduced into the Stale is an addition to its productive power and working capital; and this should induce tho press of the Siute to give publicity to the scheme, aud the planter to supply tho particulars which are desired. ?EJ?tits.

J? ?.i lon tru-i iy persons unacquainted >f the pirates who prey rabie merchants by vend thoir name, that tho pro around these Schnapps would have precluded tho introductions and sale of counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated the rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of tin proprietor has been stolen; the Indorse? ment which his Sohiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para? phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than all, dishonorable retailers, niter disposing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name ind brand a cover for poison. The public, tVJk medical profession and the sick for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre? scribed as a remedy, are equally intereste ) with the proprietor in tho detect ion and suppression of these notarious practices. The genuine article, manufac tured at the establishment of the undersigned in Sohiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Italian jui.tpe-, of unequalled pu ri ty. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the loading physicians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro marie SohnapjM?l?i th?eo markets; and travellers, who are in th? habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful Influence of unwholesome river water, tes? tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. The agents of tho undersigned have been requested to Institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to bim the names of such parties as they may ascer? tain to he engaged in the atrocious system of decep? tion. In ooncluiion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs un answerable of the purity and medicinal excel? lence of tho Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended many thousand dollars in sur rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the publio and himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown to be the only liquor in the world that., can be uni formly depended upon aa unadulterated; that be has challenged investigation, analysts, comparison and experiment m all Its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feels it a duty he owes to los fellow-citizens generally, to he medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evi denotes of Identify, and he calls upon the press and the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy BO great an evil. ?..? The following letters aud certificates from tbe leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the under signe J are all tbat they are rep re- anted to be. UDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound to eay, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving ot medical patronage.

SOUTHERN Land and Settlement Agency. BRITISH AND NORTHERN SETTLERS IN THE SOUTH. Nsw OBLEAMS, December '28, 1868. IT IS BELIEVED, FROM VARIOUS SEASONS of undoubted loree, that a largo inc min? of British and.Northern people, possessing the right qualifica? tions, into tko Southern and Southwestern States ef the Union, would be of inestimable Value in a com? mercial, social and moral point of viaw. COMMER? CIALLY, and in the light of political economy, the introduction of a largo immigration of stalwart, thrifty (tad enterprising men and women of tho peo? ple of the North and of Great Britain, and other Eu? ropean nations, cannot be overestimated. Not only tho labor and skUl introduced, but tho capital con? tributed to tho up-building of the South would great? ly hasten tho development ot tho magnificent re? sources. SOCIALLY-The introduction of a popula? tion homogeneous to that already in tho South, most of whom may not have beeu personally con? cerned in tho lato war, or, if so, whose torin of war? fare expirod at tho close of tho war, will be welcomed at tho South and encouraged by the North. In no way can tho alienations and differences which have been manifested be moro speedily com? posed and haaled than by tho Immigration of a large number of liberal Northern man and of British tanners, leerchants, planters, millers, cotton spin? ners, tradesmen, miners and laborers, most of whom being free from active participatif n in tho animosities of the great contest will occupy a neutral position, and be a pcirt of union in fact, to har? monize all shades of opinion and polities. As North? ern men who may come, bringing with them capital or labor, will attend to businoea rather than politics, and ns the British and other emigrants could not at? tend to politios for five years at least, the material in? terests of society would receive thoir chief attention and double the wealth ot th<* country very soon. Ibo introduction of largo numbers or young men and women of the British and Anglo-American laces would be of immense importance in continuing the STATUS of the people of the South, aud the vurious alliances that would be formed would go far towards rendeiiog the British and Americana one people though ocean-separated. There are ttOnsands of m*u and women at tho North and als? in Great Brita'n tot illy iga cr-nt ef the true ?tate e/ things at the South lt is part of the objestofthis company to pu^li*h widely among the capitalists of ?roat Britain and the North, an? diffuse Intelligence concerning tho soil, cl: mate, productions, cup ralles, lerti tty and healthfulness of the South, so that at .'e st a due share ef tho im? migration may come to the inviting fioids of the Southern States MORALLY-The addition of l?rge numbers, espe? cially or English speaking pecple, to the routh, of which tho targe t proportion will be religiously trained, moral, law-abiding au l industrious people, will have an immanse effect for good upon tbo en? tire region who e they mar Bottle. Churches, Schools, Academios, Collegs*, tho arts and sciences wilt ali largely share in tho impulse which such an immigration would give to the regions whete it B igbt be d'rected. Tho cause of international peace would be greatly subserved by thU metkod of re babitating the Southern States. ' Tc conform these views, I visited England recent? ly, and have ample knowledge that many capitalists, as well as actual settlers, would turn their attention to the South, and there are large numbers of intelligent and sn ter prising British and Northerners who would flock to the South, if they knew of its manlfo'd advantages, Its superb climate and boundless resources. To pro? mote this result, and to be the medium to bring toge th er the capital and labor of the North and Great Britain and the landed and other proprietors of the South, I have formed a Southern Land and Settlement Agen? cy, prepared to act in Great Britain and the North, as well as at the South, a prospectus of which can he liad en application to the undersigned.
