Mr. Bum uer thought it was either moonshine or very important, and several senators seeming disposed to throw ridiculo upon the matter, Mr. Wilson thought it was better not to sneer just yet. Some of the greatest men of the country had laughed when the magnetlo telegraph was first suggested, but tho laugh wss now on the other side of the . mouth. -The President of the United States has ac? cepted the report of the Government Commis? sioners upon an additional seotion of twenty miles ortho Central Pacific Railroad and Tel*? graph Line, terminating at the four hundred j and (seventieth mlle post east of the Sacra monto, and has directed that the bonds be j issued to the company, as required by law.

Of the throe hundred and twenty miles yet to build, about one hundred and twonty miles are on level land, and re quires little or no grading. -The Cork Herald gives the particulars of a series of horrible and almost incredible occur? rences which happened on board a Dutch ves? sel just arrived in Cork from South Am erica, A Londoner named Rogers was one of the crow, and either from inpanily or cupidity, he seems to have formed a plan for getting possession of tho vessel by wholesale murder. On the fourth day after tho phip loft Buenos Ayres, Rogers took a favorable opportunity ard pushed the first mate overboard. The cook, in response to his eries, ran to throw him a rope, when Rogers seized him by tho legs, and throw him into tho sea also. Tho second mate ran to help tho drowning man, but Rogers erideavored to kill him with an axe. Ho ran towards tho cabin and jumped down tho hatchway, upsetting the captain, who was running up, and both rolling on tho floor, Rodgers secured tho hatch above them, and mado them prisoners. Two men. remained on deck, ono a Yankee, the other an Irishman, and these Rogers kept apart by threatening to murder them, and compelling them to steer the vessel in turns. For four days the murderer remained master of the deck, not Bleeping during the time. Owing to a defect in the compass, he supposed the vessel was steering straight for the land, when in roality she was moving parallel to the coast. At the end of the fourth day sleep overcame him, and tho Irishman, waiting for the opportunity, seized the axe, and at one blow nearly severed his head from his body. He then relieved the captain and the second mate, and the vessel was brought into port. CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING. JANUARY 18, 1869. Our Danger. The cotton orop of 1808 has been a God? send to the South. We have money in abundance, our credit is rapidly improv? ing, the chains are broken whioh bound us, our future is bright with hope. And yet all this will be an evil, rather than a good, if we do not persevere in that wise agricultural policy whose first fruits we now enjoy. Our danger is that the planters may be tempted by high prices-the result of a moderate orop, growing trade and reckless speculation-to pitch huge crops of cotton. Each man who sold upland cotton at 25 or 27 or 20 cents a pound, doubtless wished that he had twenty bales instead of ten, or a hundred in place of fifty. This feeling, however natural, we must conquer or be undone. We have made money by the cotton crop of 1868, because colton was not our first and principal carel There had been two seasons of anxiety, disappointment and loas, which foroed the planter to acknowl? edge that his only safety lay in securing, at any cost, what bread and meat he re? quired. .The dullest andWost wrong-headed could see this necessity, and, as a conse? quence, the South produced all the bread stuffs she needed, the oom crop of South Carolina alone being 2,000,000 bushels more than it, was in 1867. Cotton was a secon? dary consideration with the planter; but the two-and-a-half million of bales whioh form the orop of the year have still brought us- more money than four million bales would have,.done at the prioes of before the war. Had the whole strength of the South been directed to the culture of cotton the orop would have been three million bales or more, and then our fortunes would have been staked upon one cast of the die, prioes would have fallen and the purohase of Western grain would have swallowed up the greater part of the net proceeds of our cot? ton. AB it is, we have been independent of outside help. We have not eaten into the morrow, we have not been obliged to throw our cotton upon the market, and we approach another season with distended purses and the fairest prospects of success But the lessons of this year and of the years whioh have preceded it will be worse than thrown away, if high prioes induce our planters to make cotton their king and not their slave. The first labor, the first thought, the first pains, should be given to wheat, corn and provisions; and then, and not before, might the reign of cotton begin We should have the best seed, so as to im prove the staple; fertilizers should be used freely, so as to increase the yield per acre no more land should be planted than can be cultivated regularly and well. And cotton crop made in this manner will re peat the lesson of 1868, and realizo for us far more money than a larger yield at lower prioes with millions of dollars to pay away in buying our daily bread. There is, we repeat, but one safe plan PLENTY or raovisiONS l'lBST AMO NKXT MODniiATK oaop OF COTTON. If our planters will stick to this policy, they will grow riob if they do not, they will assuredly ruo the day when the desire to beoome suddenly wealthy caused them to forsake the plain paths of prudence and common sense. .?Freedom of Deb?ate. In the lower house of Berlin a motion authorizing freedom of debate was lately carried by a majority. When it cams before the upper ohamber-the aristocratic branch-Count Bismarck frankly stated that he had been opposed to the principle, but that, considering that constitutional life must consist of a series of compro mises, he now yielded. "In the present ?case, he had never attached any great .'practical importance to the question at ?isstfe, and bis opposition had been mainly "caused by hi? theoretical disagreement ?with the principie whioh was sought to "be established. As the minister of a con? stitutional State, ho wovor, he considered ?it necessary that he should not allow his ?personal convictions te stand in the way ?of a good understanding between the ?hons? and the government." This decla? ration being too liberal for the royal, noble, and clerical members of the upper oham? ber, was most coolly received, and on a vote waa rejected bj a majority of 68 to 41 voto* All the minietere bat three weted in the minority. Count Bismarck and one of his colleagues wert engaged in the house, and tho Minister of Justice voted with the Court party. It is not Prussia, but Austria, that now heads the party of progress. Austria has granted the fullest freedom of debato to her German and Hun? garian Parliaments; but Prussia, with a sovereign who really bolieves himself to be, like John, "a man sent from God," rejects the resolution that free debate in her Leg? islature shall be permitted. IT WILL be seen by our Columbia corres? pondence of this morning, that there is good authority for saying that General Wade Hampton has not authorised the use of his name in conn oct ion with the Presi? dency of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany. The understanding is now general that the suggestion of opposition to the present administration of the company, who yield to none in their regard for General Hampton, cornea from a quarter whose efforts to injure the trade of Charleston have been consistently, and, so far, successfully, oppos? ed by the men whom they now desire to put out of their way. General Hampton, we are satisfied, would never co-operate with any party for euch a purpose. HEARTH AND Hon*, the new weekly pub? lished by Messrs. S. M. Pettingiii & Bates, New York City, is making rapid strides in public favor. Capital, enterprise and ex? perience are all combined to make it a first class weekly journal. The best talent of the country is employed to write for its columns and to sketch its illustrations. A single glance is sufficient to convince one of its superiority over the mass of periodical literature, and that opinion is confirmed on closer examination. The fifth number, which 1B just out, is a model family paper, containing a great variety of stories, essays and anecdotes, and a complete compendium of the events of the week in the commercial, agricultural, political and fashionable world. Its engravings are one of its principal feat? ures, and are only equalled by the picto? rials of European capitals. The subscrip? tion price is four dollars per annum, and single numbers can be obtained from news? dealers at ten cents per copy. A COR&E9PONDENT of the Orangeburg News writes as follows : "I have a bale of "cotton to subscribe to that cotton factory. "Start your company. I think we can get "two hundred bales to start with." Where? upon the News says : "Threo or four of "our friends say the same thing. Now two "hundred bales of cotton, averaging four "hundreds pounds each, at 20 cents a "pcu.nd, is sixteen thousand dollars, and "quite sufficient to commence operations on "a sure and firm basis. It is not for us to "undertake the move. We simply threw "out the suggestion. The leading men in "our community are the proper persons to "take the matter in hand. A company "well organized, with sixteen thousand dol? lars subscribed in cotton, can, " we gctar "antee, sell one hundred thousand dollars "worth of shares to Northern capitalists "The fate to ry 'can be built if our peopl "will it." Who will follow the example of Orangeburg, and which county will have the first ootton mill in operation this year ? A couBEsroNDENT of the Walhalla Courier says: "In 18C6, I planted about three quarters of an aore of poor new ground ."in tobacco, and realized one hundred and "forty dollars from the sales thereof, be "sides using it two years myself. The 'same land would not yield more than.ten "bushels of corn. I took pains in the se? lection of my seed and the cultivation of "my crop." Take note of this. Copartnership latta.
