Tho action of the House of Representatives on Thursday, jn rejecting tho claims of Mr. Switzler (Dem.) to hi* seat as a representative from Missouri, and awarding the scat to Mr. Audcrson (Rep.) has caused a great deal ot se vore comment, and surprised alike Republicans and Democrats. At the last scjsion ot Con? gress the Committee on Elections unanimously reported that Mr. Switzler was legally elected* The case was recommitted, and a few days ago the -uittee again reported that Mr. Switzler is entitled to the 89at, two members only dis? senting. In the face of these facts, and not? withstanding the remonstrances of Judge Po? land, Mr. Cook and other Republicans, the House decided to give Anderson the seat. Mr. Whittctnoro, of South Carolina, took part in the debate on tho admission pf Mr. An? derson, and is reported as follows in the New York Tribune : Mr. Whittomore (Republican, 8. C.) reviewed the condition of affairs in tbo South. It was one thing, he said, to pass recous trac lion laws, but it was another thing to carry them out. A price had been set on tho head ot every promi? nent man who had- dared to support thoso measures, and a mark et against bis namo. He was to be dragged to slaughter by the con? spirators, who were not idlo or sleeping. Hu (Mr. Whittomorc) know that extermination was threatened by secret organizations, of nil who dared to espouse the causo of the Union. Those who exercised the privileges conferred upon them, did so at thc peril of their lives. Bribery, and every other species of corruption, had been resorted to by the traitors who pre? tend to submit to destiny, in order to strike at tho existence of tho Uuion, and to overthrow tho freedom whieb had beon secured. Loyal men nero not allowed the free exerc'se of the franchise without a straggle. Falso and illegal election roturas were made, and other moons resorted to for the purpose of defeat? ing the laws. In tbe Third and Fourth Con? gressional Districts of South Carolina; loyal or? ganizations wero broken up, loyal men had been hunted night and day, and nameless outrages committed on women, and their bouses destroyed by fire. Mr. Wliittemoro said that in Georgia, Louisiana, and other Southern States, such a-system of persecution of I>.;1 men generally prevaled, as to show that tbe spirit ui the robolli?-i had not yet been subdued. THC COURT OF CLAIMS. In the Senate on Wednesday, Mr. Robertson, of South Carolina, introducod a bil' to extend the jurisdiction of the Court of Claims to claims of loyal citizens against the .United States for the appropriation or destruction of their property by tho army engaged in the suppression of the late rebellion. Referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. DISCRIMINATION?. Ia the House on Thursday a number of bills granting peue>ons to various persona were sev? erally passed with Little or no opposition. But when ono was presented making a similar pro? vision for an old soldier residing in North Car? olina, whoso loyalty was established beyond all question, so much opposition was manifested as, to necessitate the withdrawal of the bill. This was twice done, and it was finally put through on tho third trial uodor cover of a uimilrir proposition in favor of a resident of New York. HEX 100. Official notification has been received of the ratification by the Mexuau Congress ot uc treaty betwee? that government and the United Status, rbis treaty gives to thc President the uppoininicut of a commissioner to settle tbo to-called Mcxica-.i claims, and an agcut or at? torney of this government. Tho former officer is to be confirmed by thc Senate, and the Pres? ident will, probably uouiiuate a commissioner in a few days. THE F A C [FXC BAILBOAD3.

Senators from tho Southern States held a caucus meeting on Friday, to consider what action they would take upon various proposed bills for aiding the Pacific Railroads, and it is reported that they do term'ned to favor th? southern route, or the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. THE LNA?GUBATION BALL. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette mya : Thc papers at oounco that the knot of Bpecu latuiB who undertook the charge of tho '.utiot ficial ceremonies" at the approaching inaugu? ration have met with signal diBcom?iuro. (Jeueral Grant has written a letter, disapprov? ing of tho demonstration. Williout explana? tion, this untoward stato of iffiira would sot people to wondering. It ia the uiis-iou ol a faithful correspondent to unravel suoa myste? ries. Know, then, that thc real reason ol stop? ping this job is that it was ascertai ed that tho negroes of this district and vicinity malo und female-liad determined to bo present, at all hazards, whether the "ball" waa held in tho 'Tutanda of the capitol" or elsewhere. ''The chickens are coaiiug homo to roost," TOLERATION". During an interview with tho Virginia "now movement" committee, Congressman Boul well said, there was uo disposition ou tho part of Congress to oppress tho people of Virginia or of the South, but moir experience in Goor gia had convinced them that wh<~'i the people ?vue controlled the rebellion goo iuto power, tht y were uot disposed to deal fairly with the loyal portion of the population, either white or black. This being tho case, while Congress was helmed to consider anything that might be preferred m a proper spirit -fcy the class al? luded to. yet its primary duty was to protect its friends.

ODE OWN COREESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, B. C., January 23,18G9.-Tho de bate in tbe House of Representatives, OD the bill to alter and amend the Criminal law has occupied the attention of that body during almost the whole of three sittings, and will in all probability consume another day. Leaving out the discussion on this bill the proceedings ot Friiiay may be thus briefly summed u;* : Mr. Tinsley presented the petition of tho Pres? ident and Corporators of the Middle Saluda or Jones Gap Hoad, for re-charter, which was re? ferred. Smalls announced tho presence of Mr. George M. Wells, recently elected member of tho House of Representatives from Beaufort, to fill the vacancy occasioned by tho resigna? tion of Mr. George A. Bennett. Mr. Wells, who is a Northornor, who settled recently in Beaufort, and is spoken of as a young man of fine intellect, thou appeared at the Speaker's desk, was qualified and took bis seat. At 12.30 P. M. the House wont into Commit? tee of tho Whole, and, after some debato, thc chairman reported as follows: The Committee or tho Whole had under con? sideration the amendment ottered by tho gen? tleman from Charleston (DoLarge) to the first section cf the bill "to alter au amend tho criminal law," to -"it: Insert after tho word "number" in the first Hue, the words "rape or burglury where the party attempts to take lifo I by weapons of any kind, or by administering chloroform <u* any composition from which un consciousnesss or death may ensue," have agreed to report progress. The House then adjourned to _ i.day. Tbs special order in the Senate on Friday waa tho report of the Committee on Railroads on a bill to extend tho provisions of an act en? titled "An act for tho relief of tho charleston and Savannah Railroad Company to tho Savan? nah and Charleston Railroad Company." The report was read, and, on motion of Wright, laid ou tho table to take up the bill reported by thu committee as a substitute, to wit: "A bill to enable the Savannah and Charleston Railroad Company to complete their road." On motion of Mr. Hoyt, section two was amended hy striking out tho following provi? so: "Provided, That said bonds shall bo severally guaranteed aud ondorsod bv tho Northeastern Railroad Compnny and tho Albany and Gulf Railroad Company." On motion of Mr. Hoyt, section three was amended by striking out, in the sixth And seventh lines, the words "at tho same date as I the said original guaranteed bouda," and in? serting in lieu thereof tho words "in twenty years aftor the dato thereof;" aleo, by adding t? the section, after the word guaranteed, the words "subject to the provisions of section six of this act.' Section six was also amended by striking out tho words "and tneir endorsement by tho Northeastern Railroad Company aud tho Al? bany and Gulf Railroad Company." On motion of Mr. Corbin the bill was fur? ther amended by tho addition of the following: SECTION 7. This act shall not bo of force un? til said Savanuah and Charleston Railroad Company consent to the amendment of their charter so that the property of said corpora? tion shall be subject to taxation in conformity with section 2 of article 12 of the constitution, and said consent be certified under tho seal of said company to tho Comptroller-Ocneral and Secretary of State. Upon tho filing of said consent,"the said charter shall be deemed and held to bo modified iu conformity with said section of tho Constitution. On motion of Hr. Leslie, the above section was amended by the addition of the following proviso: "That no tax shall be assessed or levied upon said road until the same rhall have been completed." The bill as amended was then agreed to, and ordered to bi engrossed for a third read? ing. Mr. Leslie, from the Committee on Railroads, to whom was referred the memorial of tho Charleston Board of Trade, and the petition of the citizens of Charleston relative to the re? building and completion of the Savannah and Char.^ton Railroad, reported back the samo, with a recommendation that the prayers of tho petitioners and memorialists bc granted. On motion of Wright, the rulos were sus? pended and the reports considered immedi? ately. Tbs question was taken on agreeing to tho repoi ts, and decided in tho affirmative. Sw.oils, from tho Committee on the Military, to whom wus recommitted a bill to organize and govern tbe militia of South Carolina, with instructions, reported back tho same, with a rccommcLdatioa that the bill do pass, with sundry amendments. The Semite proceded" to the consideration of a bill to lacrease th.) ftu aries of tho Justices of the Supreme Court ?ina ot the Circuit Judges, which was indefinitely postponed. Swails moved that tho v?to whereby tho Sonate indefinitely postponed the further con? sideration of thc bill be rescinded. Nash inovud to lay tho motion of thc senator from Williamsburg on tho table. feuding tho consideration of tho motion of tho senator from Richland, the president an? nounced tho hour fur the consideration of thc special order for one P. M., which waj a bill to authorize the renewal ot Statu stocks or bonds, ibo bill was taken up for a second read? ing Ra ney moved that it bo postponed (o tho next regular session of the General Assembly. Pending tho consideration of ( ?io motion to postpone, tho president announced thc hour arrived for the consideration of tho second special order, which waa a bill to cnablo tho Savauuah and Charlestou lla.lroad Company to complete their ioad. Tho bill was th n taken up. considered by sectious, and agreed to as previously reported. IN THE SBXATE to-day Mr. Hoyt presented thc petition of John T. Mcelhaney, of Co loton, for Ibe removal of his political disabilities. Mr. Corbin, from tho Committee on the Ju? diciary, to whom was referred a bill to amend an act entitled "An act to dcliuo tho dulios aud jurisdiction of .Couutv Commissioncra," re commotued that it be laid on the table. In the report on tho bill tho committee soy : As to section three of tho proposed act. giv? ing County Commissioners six hundred dol?ais per annum, your committee mcjt emphatically dissent. There ?corns to prevail a most erro? neous impression aa to the powers and duties of County Commissioners, although these havo Leon most carefully defined by law. Thoso oificcrs aro expected only to exercise a general supervisory control over certain affairs in the county, and such control ouly rn thu cv^uttilt t certain town office neglect or refuse to per? form their duties. (Soo Section -, act to or? ganizo townships.) After the organization of townships is com? pleted it is difficult to sej in what their large duties will consist. It waa never expected or intended that thoy would meet daily, or oven weekly. It ie difficult lo eco (except, perhaps, on extraordinary occasions) why ihoy should meet oftener than once a m mili." The office Wits never des gned to be ono of profit or emolument, but ono ot character and dignity. Tho duties attached toit, when pro? perly ?ndoi Stood, will nut oidinarily jitterier' with tue engagements of any ordinary bad? ness man. The meetings of thu board can best be compared to lue mci-tincrs ?li this Su Ot the o dicers ot mu ncipal bodies. weo receive no pty whatever. X'otir committee are nwatc that ideas widely diffcreut from th.so prevail with many ol' the County Cumin issuners of tho State; but your committee attribute these mis? taken notions to tho met that tho ollice is now in thu State; and, second, that so lnuoii pay has already been allowed to these officers, lt being a per diem, they are anxious to m jet as o?ten as possible, and thus increase thc emolu? ments ot thc ollice. Tho General Assembly should apply a corrective to this abuse. Your committee cannot recommend any chango in tho pay of these officers, but do re? commend, and at an early day wid ask leave to bring in a bill for that purpose, that they bo restricted tu tue uumoer or per dionis to bc al? lowed annually; and, further, to pr?vido for their removal liom office for neglect ot duty or the abuse of their powers. Tho report was ordered for consideraron on Monday. Mr. Jillson, from the Committee on Engross? ed Bi Ile,'reported as duly and corree ly en grossed and ready for a third reading, a bill lc embie thc Savanuah and Charleston Railroad" Ctmpiny to complete their road. Ur. Hoyt moved that tbe rates oe suspenaea, arri the bill be taken up for a third reading. Objection being made, the report was order? ed for consideration on Monday. Mr. Corbin gave notice that he will on Mon? day, or soma subsequent day, ask leave to in? troduce a bill confirming and validating the Municipal election in the City of Charleston. The Senat" proceeded to the consideration of the unfinished business, being a bill to in? crease the salaries of the Sapreme Coure and of tho Circuit Judges, when the further con? sideration of tbe bill was postponed.for five days. On motien of 8wails. the Senate took- up for a second reading and consideration a bill to amend section one hundred and thirty-nine ot au act providing for the assessment and taxa? tion of property. On motion of Wright, th6 further considera? tion of the bill wis indefinitely postponed. On motion of Mr. Corbin, the donate took rp for a second reading and consideration, a bill to determine the value of contract? made in Confederate States notes or their equivalent. Mr. Corbin moved to amend section ono in the second line, printed bill, by iuserl inc be? tween tho words 'notes'' and "issued" the words "or with reference to Confederate States notes as a basis of value/'. A discussion ensued, participated in by Mr. Corbin and Bainey. Rainev moved that tho furthor consideration of the bill be postponed and made the special order for one P. M. Oo mot on, the Senate adjourned at half-past two P. M. ox THE wura. Abbeville-A Beautiful Village-Law anti Order- Hospitality-.11 cthodlst Conference-Bishop "Wightman-Or. Whitefoord Smith-Methodist Preach? ers-Trade-Cotton-Business Firms The Old Order and thc New. Pardon me, Mr. Editor, and Messieurs and Mesdames, the readers of THE NEWS, if I wing my flight somewhat slowly, and thor? oughly digest my impressions before I share them with you. Abbeville, next iu order on my itinerary, is distinguished with a white mark. Tho memories thereof aro pleasing, and ar) indollibly engraved on tho convolutions of my cranial hemispheres. Abbeville is unquestion? ably ono of tho finest, that is mo3t beautiful, villages in South .Carolina. Indeed I must confess to a pleasant surprise at the general appearance of tho town, at the number and beauty of its Btores, private residences and or? namental grounds. The courthouse is a sub? stantial and ornamental structure, and tho Episcopal Church the handsomest in the State, I think, outside of Charleston and Co? lumbia. Tho other two churches, tho Methodist or Presbyterian, however, in my humble opin ioo, havo nothing to boast in architectural beauty or symmetry. I was surprised to find so many evidences of a high order of civiliza? tion, of intelligence, education and social re? finement. My surprise will be explained in a measure whon I state that this was my first visit, and I had but recently road tho messa? ges and proclamation of Governor Scott, in which I was lod (o behove that Abbeville was the home of ruffianism and outlawry; that there was no respect for the laws, and that none but a Democrat dare open his mouth tbore. Now, I have a moat Christian defer? ence to' the powers that bo, and dislike ex? ceedingly to differ in opinion from a man who has authority to print proclamations in all tho nowspapers, headed with tho coat-of-arms of tho Stato and countersigned by that uthur high official, tho Secretary of State. Bat Ibo truth must bo told: I stato it as my deliberate conviction that I think Governor Scott is mid taken; that tho pooplo of Abbeville are just as poiceable, orderly and law-abiding as tho citi? zens of any other district or county in the Slate, and I think the Governor will so find it. I was shown tho very Bpot at Hodge's Dopot where Randolph was killed. I saw several gen? tlemen who witnessed the dood. They se? these men dismount, hitch their horses, go to tho cars, shoot Randolph, thon with pistols .?m their hands deliberately walk backwards tc\ ward their horses, mon nt and rido away. They] did not know a Bingle one of tho three men. This 1 was told again and again by persons living in ths vicinity, all of whom bad board those eye-witnesses toll this, and they firmly be? lieved it. How, say they, was it possible to arrest those murderers when they wore well armed and of course determined to soil their lives as dearly as possible, and no one present prepared Mr such conflict? If tho people present at this murder had been the most "loyal'' in the I"m'.cd States (and there is no ovidence that they were uot),-1 do uot soc how they could have acted otherwise than as they did. I seo by the papers that ono Talbot, who had been suspected of complicity in this murder, has boon arrested. The pcoplo of tho district were harshly spoken against, in public and in private, by tho Executive of the State, becauso Talbot was allowed to be ot large. Now, I havo met no one who knows anything of Talbot's participation iu tho Rtndolph murder, though I beard that ho was uot a man of peaceable reputation. During tho war he was a deserter, and defied tho enrolling officors again and again. And although thc sympathies of tho community woro then uaques'.ionably against him and with the enrolling offieerj, bo suc? ceeded, by one means or another, in ovading their vigilanco, and keeping out of thc army. You will not be surprised,then,to hear that this man was at large, months oven after tho Gov? ernor suspected him of being parliceps crim inis in tho Randolph affair. Be it rouiombor cd, moreover, *hat I saw no ono who kuew ol 8Uoh complicity or connoctiou on the part ol Talbot. And because a few bad men in a coaamuuity break the laws, and, favoredby circumstances, get away, tho wuole county must be scolded with mossagos and proclamations, threatened Wi Ul martial law and no-ro militia, and Anally with a bran new act of tho Legislature giving thc Attorney for thc '"'otc power to chango the ven? ue, when in bis judgment he deems it necessary, in or.ter to convict a political (or rraasi-po.itical) prisoner; a mcasuro reserved for tho socoud half ot tho nine toon th century, ia free und R> ,publican America, though utikuowa in tho d irkost period of tho m dil o ages, an I in the most arbitrary of?esp -t cg ivern.nonta. Juries have brjoa packed ero n ur, bu:, uot auder tue leg.s of a o instit itioa seoarng?i SM:O ,*a R: i puo'.icau term of government." However, I see by tho newspapers, tiiat his Excellency the Governor has thought botte.- of the mat? ter, and no longor furore the ta eas uro. Escuso this long digression. I was fortun? ate in being at AbbovUlo during tho session ol thc South Carolina Couforon?j of tho Metho? dist Episcopal Church, South, aud thus had the best possible opportunity of wituo-sing tl? largo, whole-souled, Christian hospitality, for which othors, moro familiar with tho placo ami its pcoplo, havo long kuown the latter famous Tho lo wu was toll of preachers. There wert old preachers and young preachers, large preachers and small preachers, big preacher; and little preachors; some married and so:n< Bingle, sollie good-looking and soma who wen not; but old and young, fat and loan, great ant small, they all appeared iu fiue spirits, and ii tLe vory best of good hum ir, enjoying to th? full thc annual reunion, tho brief interva [ of test and freedom ?rom tba waight and car? ol' parochial duty, and the renewal of good fol io wa nip Detwt.au mo pisMumo ?uuiuUw.?w, - well as between them and their hospitable en? tertainers. It was my good fortune to hear Bishop Wightman, of your city, preach on San day morniag; and although he labored under a severe affection of the throat, and evidently spoke with difficulty and even pain, the great? ness of the occasion seemed to eada w him with j superhuman strength, and he soon soared un? trammelled int? the lofty heights of Gospel truth, carrying with him in full sympathy the entire congregation, a large number of whom were preachers, who keenly enjoy this refloed and elevated pleasure of listening annually to tho Bishop's Conference sermon. As the readers of THE NEWS were informed at the time, by your attentive correspondent, of the proceedings of the Conference, I need say nothing farther aboutit, though I feel much tempted to say a few words about the fine ef? fort o? your former fellow-townsman, Bev. Whitefoord Smith, D. D., for many years the Chrysostom of this Conference. He is now one of the professors of Wofibrd College, Spartan burg; but although not in regular charge of any church, bis many Charleston friends will be pleased to hear that he has not buried his talent, and that he is as "golden-mouthed" as in days of yore, when, with his eloquence, he used to entrance those crowded congregations of Sunday nights in Trinity and Cumberland. The South Carolina Conference, though it may not boast of many "star" proachers, can show 1.3 fino and solid a body of men, as any ecclesiastical organizition I know of, com? posed of a similar number of ministers, llany of thom aro regular collage graduates; tbo grea t majority are men of oduoation; though their education proper, their professional train? ing, may bo said only to commence with their entrance into the itinerant ministry. The world has never known a better school of ora? tory, I mean, of extempore speaking, than the Methodist circuit pulpit. As they are, more or lesa, all of them, self-made men, they gen rally partake of tbe virtues and the foibles of the au'odidalc'.ol. They are origina!, more or less eccentric, self-possessed and self-reliant; seldom common-place, never stupid. How? ever, I must not forget that I am not writing an essay on Methodist preachers, else I shall fifi two columns with what I should like to say on this subjoct. Abbeville village has not grown of lato yoars as many othor places in the ceotral and upper part of tho State. Much of the trade of the county, say within eight or ten milos of the river, goes to Augusta, ioma I hoar, from this district, even go to Augusta with wagons. Then, again, as Abbeville is ab jut eleven milos from the main trunk of the Greenville Rail? road, much trade goes to Hodge's Depot on that road. Thou there aro Greenwood, Ninoty Su, Cnkesbury and Newmarket, placos of more or loss note, long estai lished, each one of which is rocoiving its share of cotton. New? berry also receives some of tho trade of Abbe? ville county. Abbeville Courthouse last yoar is ostimated to have received about eight thousand bales of cotton, while Hodge's Depot shipped about five thousand bales. I have no data by which I can estimate the present production of cotton of tho county. Tbo census of 1860 gives it at 21,977 bales, excocdedonly by Barnwoll (23,490) and EJgefild (27.197.) At that time Abbovillo had a population of 32,385, of whom 20,502 were slaves. Tho improved lands aro put down at 238,000 aoies, and those unimproved at 352,000. Cash value of farm lands $5,938,000. Abbeville boasts ot two papers, tho "Ban nor" and the "Press," both well edited, and thoroughly reflecting tho public opinion of the county. The principal business firms hero are: J. Knox 4 Co., Trowbridge & Co., Fowler Sc McDonald, J. J. Cunningham, Miller & Robin? son, White, Smith k Co., A. M. Weir, Dr. E. Parkor, and Dr. W. T. Penny. There ar? two hotels hero, ono of which, the Marshall House, is kept by Mr. Mays. Abbeville is tho pince of residence of Judge Wardlaw, of Hon. Armisteod Burt, of Colonel Perrin, of General McGowan, and of many other gontlomen distinguished heretofore in tho field, the forum, and in the councils of the State and of tho country. Their voico now is silent, but their pr?senos still is felt; and the time, I hope, my dear roadors of THE NEWS-, wdl ero long came when thoir counsel will not be passed by unheeded eimply because it is the voico of age, wisdom and experience. Stupidi? ty must yield to intelligence, ignorance to education, eans-cullottes and proletario! to men of wealth and station. It has ovor been thus, and will ever so continuo, though the order of a thous; n I years may bo reversed for a brief space of dm >, the result of a specios of political carthqu-ko. BIRD'S-EYE. TUE NEWS AND TUE POUT lt O Y AL RAILROAD. [From tho Courier of Saturday.] Messrs. Editors - An editorial in THE Cu.vRLbSTOX i\EW3, of ?Le ltith instant, makes a vigorous uss mit upon thu Port Royal Rail? road. N > doubt the movemout is altogether distasteful lo THE NEWS, and we are not at all surprised that il cm seo no;biug good in it. Iis sarcasm we will endeavor to bear, bat its arg ament wo proposo to sift The "barren" through which tho road is to run is the valley ot the Savannah River, tho most iortde cotton region ot South Carolina, and all tins cotton goes now to Savannah by steamer, because there is no way of getting it to Charleston. This road proposes to bring all the cotton and other products grown between Augusta und Lawtonville to Ci aries ton-it is all lost to tho State now. i'iio "wiso tc cs" who advocate tho road aro certainly not working to throw tho forty millions of mouoy now invested in real estate in Charleston iuto the Heft. If Charleston is to lose her present prestigo by the building of ttiis roa ?, why it is the clear? est ovideuco.il' tic wisdom of it? projectors. If Charleston ia to d:tnin sh, which we do not admit or desire, whv that would DO proof posi? tivo that Port Royal was tho place. We will not reta lalo. Wo will not follow tho example of tuc NEW .md iiiakj au assault upou glo? rious old Charleston. Wo love and venerate lit"" to J ?niieh for th it. and wu do not admit luat tins feeling *s exceeded ni us, even by tito new boru ? ai ot thu new bom citizens who udit Tit J CHARM sr ON NEWS.

Tho proprietors of ih : Port Royal Road com? menced their work upon that road by begin? ning at tho Sa van,rail and C?arieston Railroad a.id graded torcy-four IU?IJS ia the direction of Augusta. lu the ihot instance it was to bo a leedor to tho Savannah aud Charleston Rul road, and if Charleston could maintain her commercial BUpenorUy, there wou.d be no necessity to go to Port Boyal ; but in case it was essential to South Carolina and thc South that theie should be a great mart whore thc great ships ol ali nations might enter, why tnere is Port Royal within twenty-five mites of the Savannah and vmarie-tou Railroad. Ido not address the interested men who fear this moasurc, but I appe.d tu the men of the South who look te and hope for her prosperity, and aik thom if there ia any thing sordid or chime? nea, iu the project. A writer ia tue Augusta Constitutionalist, a few days ago, ia discussing this Port Royal Road, makes a sfateiue.it wiiioh will apply to the whole South and West. He says tbat a per? son desirous of going tu Havana or California Wear, fais to go first to Nair York in order I reach the steamers that sail for tnose places. Arter travelling three days to New York and three days on the steamer he is within one hundred miles of the point he should have em? barked from (say Charleston), and the rea vc i of this long detoar is that the steamers that ply between these points are ot such great draft that they cannot enter any port south of Cape Hatteras except Port Koyal, and that if tbere was a road to Port Boyal a person could leave Chicago at tbe same time the steamer leaves New York aod Intercept her at Port Royal, thus saving the voyage from Now York to Port Rayak faa NEWS ia very much concerned at this profligate expenditure of money by the Stato; ht: t there is no money spent-only the credit of the State is asked for-and this credit is to induce these "Northern speculators" to invest their capital in the ttate. Is there nothing in this? Sixteen hundred thousand dollars to be spent on an enterprise in South Carolina, and this money to be brought from other States. Must not this large expenditure of money in building up a permanent and progressive im? provement; in tho State be worth the risk that is asked of the General Assembly? The people who live along the valley of the Savannah River, from Port Royal to Walhalla, think that this project has some merit in it. But it will not do. THE CBAXXXSTOX DAILY NEWS does not fancy it. A NATIVE. COTTON IN F NU LAND. The London Shipping Gazette of Saturday, January 9-the latest date received by mail has the following interesting article : Tho course of the cotton trade during 1868 was simply one of progression. Tn all depart? ments considerable activity was apparent. The quanti.ios taken for home consumption were large, aod the Manufacture of cotton goods was on a m ist extensive scale. Prices, therefore, advanoed, and till quite tbe dose of | the year all description > were held with great firmness. Those who calculated upon a con? siderable decline in the quotations as the re- 1 suit of nearly an average crop in the United states in 1867, have been greatly disappointed. But what has really occurred in the market to deprec?alo the value of cotton? Tho increase in tue consumption, as far as regards the Liverpool market only, has been equal to 282, 750 bales; spumers generally, from the inmenso number of orders coming forward, nave ope? rated with great freedom, and the price of cotton bas steadily advanced. In order to show more fully the position of the trade as regards price, we may observe that the weekly average value of middling New Orleans cotton, for ton years prior to the American war, was 6?d. .foe average last year was lOjd. per pomiJ. We have long contended that nothing short cf two heavy crops in America could possibly reduce the quotations more than 2d. per pound. We are still of the same opinion, because the wants of the world are increasing, and because, in a general way, they can only be met on r e principles at low prices. The last crop of cot? ton in America will, no doubt, be found fully equal to 2,700,000 bales, and the produce in India will bo fully equal to most former sea? sons. Still, a large growth will net, ac our present rate of consumption, have any material influence upou the quotations. The accounts for Liverpool, made up to the Slat ult., show the following results: Consumption Dec. Actual Con- Actual tt Ixport Tstal 31. Stacia, sumption. Export, combined.

Fortunately for the spinners und manufacturers of cloth, the exports ot cotton last year were 129,298 bales less than in 1867. Had they been on the increase, the price of middling New Orleans cotton at tho close of 1868 would nave been fully ls. per lb. In 1848 diing New Orleans cot? ton waa soiling as low rs ?d. per lb., owing to its abundanoe. Now it is worth lld. per lb. Upon tho strength of the latter figure, the growers in America will make great efforts to increase their cultivation. They may do so with perfect safety, since it is evident that we shall not be likely to see their produce down to 6d. por lb._ _ _ AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. Cconee. There was a fire in Walhalla on Sunday morning. It broke out in the schoolhouse, formerly tho American Hotol. No harm was done. Richland.

The Press says : We learn that the com? mittee appointed at tho public meeting on s ile-da.v laut, consisting of Colonel R. A. Fair, Dr. J. W. Hearst, A. C. Hawthorn, Esq., and James McCaslan, Esq., had an interview with tho Governor during tho past woek, from which we trusl that good results may ensue. At the BU?gC6UOU of theso geutlemcn we learn that tho Governor hasappoiuted som; fifteen or moro competent m igisLratcs in our district, and we trust that henceforth a better under? standing will exist between our officials and the Executivo Department.

A large portiJD of country, thick? ly settled with intelligent business mon, is cut off trom regular mail communication with the rest oi tho world by tho nogloct to establish this route. It is a great mistake in th J Post? ?nico Dopurlmont io shut off so much of the country from these facilities, and we hope the member from that Congressional District will take this matter in baud.
