THE MERCHANTS OF NEWBERRY. -The New? berry Herald, in its last issue, sa1 s : Wa invite the reader's attention to a well written and very interesting letter on first page from the corr espondent ot THE CHARLES? TON DAILY NEWS, ''Bird's-Eye," who passed through our town "on the wing." Foreo ra? pid a survey of our town and district, his data is generally corr . cr, and his sentences varied, well-woven and complimentary. Ho gives Newberry a {rood position in the commercial picture-fixes but few if any dark shadows, and draws out many higb-lights. His statistics aro possibly a little at fault, yet his letter is vigorous, truthful, perspicuous. To his flattering notice of our humble selves wo shall ?tr.vu to bo worthy. Hoping ttiat Tnt: NEWS will ever sustain its position as the daily NEWs-paper of tho State, and that tho mer? chants of Charleato? and Newberry may grow to know each other better in the ?ear future, m oil the vaned business of 'chauge and mart, wo shall now proceed to complete tho mercan? tile list Ot our town, a portion of thc loading firms having been accideutiy omitted by the correspondent : TX.

Auiick, W H. jo?os, and ot her j. -The New York Mail, in speaking of the musical jubilee proposed by Mr. Gilmore, says : "It wou'd seem especially desirable, in view of tli9 nature of the festival, that tho pro? minent cities of the South should be reprosent ei at this grand national celebiation of peace. No more beautiful exchange of tho 'olivo branch' could be made than for Boston to en? tertain with her splendid and unfailing hospi? tality the musical sons and daughters of the South, while the latter unite their voices in harmonious and harmonizing strains. All success lo the noble, nationalizing, refining and Christianizing enterprise of 'the Hub.' * FROM TBE STATE CAPITAL. Th? Credit of the State-A Bright Pros? pect-The Contested Election-A New Magistrate-The Insurance Companies -Thc Legislature. [FROM OBE OWN CORRESPONDENT. I COLUMBIA, S. C., January 24.-Mr. Kimpton, the nnaueial agent of the State at New York, has arrived here. Ho makes a very favorable report as to the steady appreciation of South Carolina bonds and storks in the New York market, and says that thc State can obtain as much money as" she requires at reasonable rates of interest. 1 learn also from the best authority that, notwithstanding tho issue of a million and a half ot bonds to meet the liabili? ties of tho ? tate, the floating debt has not in? creased, while not a bond has boen sold. A bill will be introduced in tho Legislature to fund tbo interest on tho State debt due in July and on the first of January. An offer was made from Charleston to lead the money ne? cessary to pay the interest, but so high a rate of interest was asked for that tho offei could not be accepted. Tue coL'cction of laxes now depends upon the industry of the assessors ia the various coun? ties. It is generally boiieved that at least a million and a half dollars will be collected this year. Mr. Corbin's bill to confirm aud validate thc recent election for Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Charleston will probably bo introduced in the Senate to-morrow. It will bo in the usual form, validating the election, any ille? galities or informalities to the contrary not? withstanding. Tao Governor has appointed Mr. James M. Morrison magistrate, in tho placo of Mr. Axson, deceased. Mr. Moirison's application was en? dorsed by Mayor Clark, Alderman Geddings, and a number of other officials and citizens of Charleston. Arning the Charlostonians here I observe Mr. W. B. Heriot, who is socking some modi? fication of the bill to regulato tho agencies of insurance companies not incorpoiatcd in the State. Hie views have been laid before Sena? tor Corbin, Comptroller-General Noaglo and others, and seem to meet with much atten? tion. The Legislature has work enongh boforo it at the present time to occupy it to the first of March or later, unless the two bouses have longer sessions or sit twice a day. An old member of former Legislatures says tho House sat only twelve or fifteen hours tho whole of last weak, whereas in former sessions tho House frequently sat twelve hours a day. TBE VISIT OF ATTORNEY-GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN TO ABBEVILLE DISTRICT. TO THE EDITOR OJ THE NEWS. COLUMBIA, S. C., January 22.-I have read with great surprise in THE NEWS of this '.Late, the statements of your Columbia correspon dent in reference to my recent visit to Abbo- I ville. While I am. sure your correspondent J did not intend to misrepresent the case, I am still compelled to say that nearly all ho had stated of my visit to Abbeville is drawn from his own imagination, and n?t from statements or expressions cf mine. What I did say, and what I take pleasure in saying now, is that personally I Was treated with entire civility and kindness; that I myself saw no e videncos of present disorder or lawlessness, and that so far os words go, the recent outrages in that county are condemned by those with whom I conversed. But my opportunities were not. sufficient to warrant mo in making any such general and confident observations as1 are at? tributed to mo by your correspondent. I should rejoice to believe that all that I am represented as saying of tho people of Abbe? ville is true; but 1 have yet received no evi? dence which justifios me in asserting or be? lieving it. Very respectfully, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. RELIGIOUS TOPICS ARRO AD. The Ut feet ion of the Marquis of Bute from tho Established t'bnrc h-Its Moral Effect-The Spirit of the ltftual ists. Tho London correspondent of the New York Times writes under dato ot January 9: I am inclined to think that tho real sens.it i n of the week has been thc news that thc Mar? quis of Bute bas turned Papist. This young man, just como of ago, with three hundred thousand pounds a year and a pcorage, bas gone over to Rome. The Times has a leader a column long to prove fiat it is a matter of no consequence. Tho Marquis of Bute IR no moro than any other young man, and his throe hundred thousand a year of no more ac? count than any other similar income. It is only ono voto in tho Lords. That is KO; but for all that the fact is serious and annoying. It sets every young peer, every young man to asking, "'What made him do it ?'' aud it is evi? dent that tho Times would much rather he bad followed tho example of tho Marquis of Hastings. When a thoughtful young noble? man, of illustrious family, wido " connections, and almost fabulous wealth, goes over at this period of Ritualistic and disestablishing ex? citement, it is a very scriouo matter indeed, lt will influonco many who aro now wavering and uncertain. Forty yeats ago there waa one Catholic priest io England who had beon a clergyman of the Established Church-the Hon. and Rev. Gooroo Spencer. Now there aro forty snob priests in this archdiocese of Westmiustcr, and about two hundred in tho country. Lay convert?? aro probably in proportion. The roturas tho last year in? the metropolis aro 2200, and tho con-or per-verts are mostly from the upper and middle ranks of society. The Ritualist papers, anticipating the recent decision against lighted candles and kneeling during consecra? tion, have been for weeks denouncing secession to Rome; but tho Gorham decisiou, which was that a clergyman of the church need not be? lieve in Baptismal Regeneration, seut over hundreds; tho Colenso difficulty" h as sent over hundreds more. Wi at thou is likely to happon whon the Queen iu Council decides that au act of Parliament, passed thrco centuries aco, binds tho chut ch not cn ly in doctrino, but down to thc minutest ceremony, and that this act is to be interpreted, not b y bishops or eccle? siastical court-", but by throe or lour dissenting or infidel lawyers? Whcth.T moro or less aro driven over to Rome, one Illing seoras cet lain. Clergymen openly admit thal the disestablishment ot thc chur.h is at baud, and rainy of them arc ready to say of State control, with Dr. Pusey. "Uehevingil rejoice to see tue curso removed." Tho first result of this would be to divide the actual establishment into four or fivo different and warring sects, lt is only tho State con? trol that row keeps them nominally together. lu belief they aro uow tar as the poles asunder. The State policy is to have tho utmost uni? formity in ceremony, as to permit, the- ul most latitude in belief. You may interpret creeds or articles as you ploase. iollow Posey or Co? lenso, but you shall not light a candie as long as you can seo to road the scrvico, or kneel when tho Rubric says stand, or put water iu tho wine, auder pain of indictment and im? prisonment. But it is not Ritualists alone who are affected by tho lato decision. They can for the most part evade it. lt does not touch doctrine. By darkening their chancels they can lawfully light their candles. They caa bow very low without kneeling. They can put water in the wine in the vestry. They uoed i.ot incense per? sons or things, but burn as much- as they Uko promiscuously. On the other hand, by the jud^meut of tho privy council, it is oblicutoiy on tho lowest evangelical to wear tho vest? ments, and tc consecrate with his back to thc , people. The Ritualists propos*; to raiso a fund to prosecute the Archbishop of Yorh for not I wearing surplice and cope. THE FUTURE OF OUR SEA-COAST. THE CULTIVATION OF LONG COTTON. Men who have made Fortunes on the Coast-The Effects of Emancipation Bow to use the Hoe and Plough-Can Money be made hr Cultivating Long Cotton. TO THE EBITOB OF THE ?BWS. I regret that in these letters upon the "Fu? ture of the Coast of South Carolina," I should be compelled to introduce the names of gen? tlemen who are far from courting publicity; but it is my purpose to prove my positions by facta, and I cannot do this without giving the authorities for thc statements which I make. The late General Stephen Elliott succeeded in producing as high as fonr bales of cotton to the hand ou Paris Island. This cotton if raised from the Fripp seed would have sold at thirty-five cents per pound in gold, which would be equal to four hundred and twenty dol? lars to the hand. And this result was accom? plished with not more than ene plough to five hands, if so much. There is another instance in which six hundred pounds of cotton was raised to the hand, when t h^e was but one plough to ten hands, and this cotton was worth seventy-five cents a pound, or four hundred and fifty dollars to the hand. Mr. William B. Means was, if anything, moro successful as a planter than General Elliott. Mr. John J. T. Popo, of St. Helena, raised as much as three bales per hand, of cotton, worth foity-fivo cents per pound, and midj forty bushels of corn to the acre. Hero we have again over $400 to tho hand. Mr. William A. Morccock, of Port Royal, if I am not mistaken, also reached this high f?gnre. Mr. Jumes B. Seabrook, on a cast-away land at Hilton Head, made surprisingly largo crops of cotton, whilst his corn ciibs were alw.iys full and his cattle always fat. His crop of 18G1 was appraised by experienced assesso rs at a trido under a balo to thc acre. The Pocotaligo planters wore second to none. Among thom wo may mention Mr. Daniel Heyward, ono of our mo3t practical planters of rice and cotton. Mr. James Gregorie and Mr. William Martin were also among thc most successful. Now, how was their succ:ss secured ? We answer, as a planter's is:-Not by superior work alone, for some of our nicest workers make s mall crops. It was by judicious tdth and high manuring, and by being always in time. The manuring and moving off at thc right time, together with judgment in doing or not doing, made tho difference. But it may ba said tho large fortunes of our sea-coast planters woro inherited. I think it will not bo denied that Captain William Seabrook amassed thc most of his wealth. Micah Jenkins, the elder grand uncle, 1 think, of General Micah Tonkins, be? gan with ono negro after tho Revolutionary War. He lived, if I mistake not, in great com? fort, il not elegance, and died a man Of large fortune. Mr. Mnngeon began with nothing. Mr. Jas. Euk did the same. Captain Abraham Hugue uin began with a property by no means large. He ?was a most accomplished planter m its every a,uso, lived in great affluence, and died a very rich man. Captain William Pope began with a handsome property, but bc incroased it ten-fold. Mr. Ephraim Raynard bogan witfi bis Rabbit Point place, and not over twenty bands. Ho was worth about a million of dol? lars boForo tho war. Mr. William E. Baynard began with about tho samo moans, lived in great comfort, and diod a man of large wealth. Mr. W. G. Bavnard bogan with very slooder i icans. Ho died a man of ample fortune. So did Mr. Ephraim Seabrook, Sr. Mr. Robert Means began without large moans. He died the possessor of a large and valu- ble property. Mr. Samuel Reid began with nothing. Hedic'd with a fine fortune. Mr. Burrell Sanders be? gan with nothing, but he was a man of largo means before the war. 1 might go on recounting name after name, and ero,i after crop, but I have said euough to prove that before the war seacoast planters could and did mako handsomo fortunes. It mav be said these fortunes were made whilst the soil was fresh. Doubtless. 8ome of these, however, we take it,did not exceed some of the most recent crops cited. Xii ese men had slaves. Granted. Slaves aro not, however, divinities. What they gavo was work. And an inferio r amount of work, with equal economy on advanced price of produce, will bring tba same result. To say that wo cbangeNrar sys? tem of labor is not to say it is lost. Nor do I fear the numerical superiority of the colored people; and, to my mind, Bishop Butler's illustration of the island on which there wore ten men and ten thousand fierce wild beasts is, in this connection, very striking. There, bo says, the prepondcrancs of men over brute force may be so great as to counterbal? ance the gift of inteUect, and tue wild boasts eat tho men. But porchance if there were as many as lilly men, the gift of intellect would set at naught tho numerical preponderance of the beasts and destroy them. I have been moro than ouco reminded of this illustration in comparing thc condition of thc South with the emancipated colonies of thc Wojt Indies. Thc tremendous preponderance of tho blacks in thoso islands makes thu conditiou of things altogether different hom what it is in the South. Tbero socioty puts on tho complexion of tho black, the preponderance being ut least foui- to one in favor .of the black. lu tho South? ern States alano Uro preponderance is two to ono in favor ol tho while. lu tho whole coun? try tho preponderance is eight to ouc. Here, too. the superior intclligcuco of tho dominant ruco, as well as tho necessity ol' labor lu life, affords a coutrolLmg influence. Hero society must put on the comple:.i m of thc white. This means labor, work, aud obedienco, ia the Jong run, to law. i he results, therefore, following Wrest India emancipation aro by no means such as must necessarily follow emancipation in the South. Now let us recall some changes which slave society itself made in the labor of the blacks. I bavo seen a very largo house on the coast, with immensely heavy sills and timber in it, yet every pottion thereof was cut and brought out of thc woods by hand. Rail fences, for miles long, wei? headed out by negroes. But such things had, before the war, long gone into dis? ute. Man labor was not put to tho discount ol substituting it for that of beasts of burthen. Abolishing slavery necessarily makes some ser tuns changes ni the economy of labor. The irco laborer refuses, perchance, to do many things winch tiic slavo would do. Many intel? ligent mastors refrained from making some of these very exactions. May not thobluck, now that he is his owu master, ask os much ? Ne? gro properly is certainly dear to him. and ho must take care of it. Is it cold, he refuses to go into tho rico ditches. Irishmen take his place, llantera make olten the same su'o.-titu tioii tor their alav?s. When the foolish African laborer, however, refuses the uso of tho hoe, andveudera the free usc of thc plough acces? sary to ?ea island cotion culture, he by SJ much manumits his o!d master. Ir is true tiiat, for tuc present, boo work seems lo bc moro or less necessary lu the cul? tivation ul lou;.'staple cotion; but i;. will not bo long before we sh il loam a system of ploughing adapted to our ivitult;. Ploughing, eveu when best understo kL is in its infancy, Ho who watches tho 'jtcum plough at work, across thc water, earning iivo furrows fifteen inches deep, ea*i form some id? a of what awaits us in that direction. Now. tho Indisposition on the part of ibo colored |XK>pl? t?perfurni their usual avocations wu li alacrity and wil? lingness, will hoon put in the hands of those who aro willing, means by which one man can do thu work or five. Long before tho present race forget their olden habits, it will be noces aury to teach them new methods of operating. For tho present wo want the plough largely used so as lo lai<c off all Ihc heavy work; but, in our inexperience, wo must have tho work of the boc largely combiued with it. With deep oaily tdiane, ana shallow surface work rapidly delivered, accompanied by such a system of manuring as will bo plainly within our mich, I do not see why our lauds inay not bc profitably used, as of yore. We have phosphate beda hi all directions, as well as au endless supply of very valuable marsh gras?. If wo cannot cult.vate as much land to the plough and hand as they can in the up? country, we havo a better soil to begin with and can manure much more economically, be sides being; possessed of some valuable local fertilizers peculiar to our section. We may thus with half the amona t of land to the band, and a constantly improving system of manur? ing, reach even with the short staple equally lucrative results. In order to restore our section we must surround ourselves with stock of all kind?. This must be made a specialty, and regular stock-minders be employed. A country which can sustain droves of cattle through the winter without assistance from man surely affords a proper field for stock raising. The idea that they cannot be kept on account of vagabond freedmen is fallacious. Make the business one of importance and it will take care of itself. I know several parlies on the coast who bave stocks of cattle and who have kept them without mate? rial loss. In other eases there had been severe loss. If thero is any kind of law at all, even pretended law, it must be the means ot controlling tbis matter where many par? ties become largely interested therein. It is certainly within control. All these things now ridiculed as impossibilities are plainly within our reach as soon as we have a little money lo spare trom annual expenses. As soon as this occurs we have the matter in our own bauds, and it will be our own fault if we make not rapid progress in tho right direction. As lone as we have to borrow money for our an? nual expenses our specialty ajmat bo cotton or some other very marketable crop. When we escape this necessity we are our own mas? ters. Without our own money to CATI y on our operations we work to tho greatest disadvan? tage in every way; ec vnomy, therefore, is tho very corner-stone of all future success. If we could borrow thousands this would bo our policy. We como to market in debt, and our crops aro presiod into uso at a minons figure. Wo como to town, and factors talk to us often as if we were children just awake, and did not see further than the boundaries of our plantation. And becauso wo can't make crops in a tub of water, we arc told that a mau attempting to plant "sea islands" is fit tor the asylum. One factor says, you must plant common cotton. Another factor tells us that "oxtra fine" is the thing. This is always so with people who have to be helped by others, but it is none the less confusing and annoying. By adverso seasons and incidental but not necessary circumstances connected with tbom, wo have lost money in the sea island business. Straight way conclusions aro drawn, which, when expressed in plain languago, run thus : "It will rain in continued torrents every year hereafter. Tho gulf stream has roccdod a hun? dred miles. The caterpillars will come every year worse and worse." We do not know what tho year may bring forth, but it seems unlikely that seasons that have not occurred before for fifty yoars should repeat themselves continually. Wo have not sufficient data to s*y that the caterpillars will come every year. As to Ihe labor question, success will solve it here just as it has dono in tho upland regions to a greater or less degree, according to circumstances. Success will oust squatters by taking up the lands. It will ufi'ird readv capital for future operations, lt will regulate affairs by tho suro momentum of property values. It will challenge tho protec? tion of law; make law and mend it; soize and hold it to its performance. Success moans power, and power means a capacity at least to provide for its own wants. Men are stunned just now by tho tremendous changes hurried over civilization. Liberty looks foolish, with a black cap pulled over her eyes. But the South is a big country, with big interests. It de? mands law and obedienco to law, and will in the long run havo it, despite the folly of South? ern politicians, the grimaces and trickery of all civilized and uncivilized scamps. Things will climb up to the demands of ne? cessity, and Southerner, Yankee and African, each under his own viue, will find it common sense in tho end to take caro of the best inter? ests of society against all and any who c n tinue its injury for their own personal aggran? dizement. Surely, very surely. MR. DAVIS IN PARIS. A Frenchman's Pen and Ink Sketch of the Confederate Kx-Presldent. Tho arrival of tho Hon. Jefferson Davis in Taris bas boon announced. A Paris letter says: "Mr. Davis, with his wife, carno almost unher idded on Now Year's Evo, and tho next day they were met by your correspondent, walking quietly along the Champs Elysees, and entirely unnoticed or unknown by the hundreds of thou? sands of persons who wore promenading that magnificent avenue. Although Mr. and Mrs. Davis were stopping at tho Grand Hotel, thoy are under tho direct charge of Colonel Dudley Mann, who, asjs well known, has taken up his permanent residence in Paris sinco tho close of tho struggle upon the American continent. President Davis looks much older and moro careworn than when your correspondent last saw him in the hoy-day of the Southern Con? federacy, but bis spirits aro better than one would suppose. He speaks calmly and d ispas sionatoly of affairs upon your side of tho water, but sees uo light ahead for Ids ''own people," while ho thinks tho North is basking in a sun? light of prosperity altogether artificial, and which, like tho splendid brilliancy thrown for a moment upotfVhc closing scene ol a grand the? at i ical spectacle, is destined to end in darkness only thc moto apparent from thc contrast so lccently exhibited." Tho Gaulois, ono of thc leading opposition papors of Paris, comos out with the following spirited sketch of the distinguished exile, his character, antecedents, und above all bia digni? fied beariug in adversity : Jefferson Davis, cx-Prcsident of Hie Confed? ?ralo States of America, is in Paris with his wife, v bone heroism has been equal to hor hard fate. He has como here to find a retreat for his children, wbo havo been loft temporarily in England. There is nothing moro simple than this man, tempered like our fathers of '93, aid wbo like them suddenly hurled over tho Southern States as many armies as tim French HopaMic, at its birth, opposed to all Atrope in coalition. Jefferson Davis is tall, slender, upright ; his chest is expansivo, and his bur. supports a splendid head attached to broad shoulders by a short nee'r. Tho forehead is ample, its lines sharply de fiued by masses of gray hair, and slightly rounded; beneath it arc eyes of clear blue, very sweet in expression, and observant, and re? flecting deep inner thoughts and reveries. Tho figure is spaie; the cheek bones arc projecting and the cheeks sunken; the noso is aquilino* like an eagle's beak; Ibo mouth is very large and expressive of benevolence, sweetness and resolution; thc chin is long. The general im? pression conveyed by such a physiognomy is that of a meditative and kindly man. Hut if it does not pi omise, in Jefferson Davis'case, a hopo ot happier days, and ol' the lo.ilizatiou of his grand designs, it reveals tho finn belief ot' this citizen of tho world in thc judgniout ol' tho men of his time, and of a posterity daily becoming loss prejudiced and moro favorable to him. Jefferson Davis speaks softly, and his fea? tures relax uh-ii ho ?miles. Ho is slow in ex? pressing himself in our language, into which liM is continually introducing phrase J in lin nat. ve id,om. lie i-. sp iring ol' gosluro ts well as < f recriminations. Bat in his mo! nor longnu iie employa terms ol expression as nea: aa they aro co.?cise. lie has remained fiitlifsl to slavery as :t principio, 'out modi 'lcd, as be always held it. He concedes rights to that black race which . ball provo that it is born to enjoy them, aud tit to comprehend them; but in his heart he is persuaded that tho African race uud tho Cau? casian race can never assimilate. Besidos, tho extreme violence- with which tho demands of tho auti-slavery party were put forward, iho effect ol which was the instantaneous rum ot thc Southerners, counted for a great deal in the opposition of tho latter. Hero Jtffu-raoa Davis enjoys liberally tho ex? hibitions which Pana odets, which no ?mls very beautiful, and which ho follows up un? weariedly all day long. As to what concerns material life, ho is indifferent to his diot, breakfasting on broad and butter and tea, and dining off two dishes. In a moral point of viow, bis courage, his views, bis uprightness, his exquisite probity, thoexomplehe has given of self-devotion aud all kinds of self-abnega? tion; h;s faith in the principles for which ho ' has sacrificed ovcrytlnug and suffered evcry I thing; his apostolic calm and amrtyr-like pity of hts enemies; his resignation, his serenity I all have made of Jefferson Davis an exceptional man, and BO elevated thatf in the midst of onr petty civUization he cannot be approached with? out great respect. Mr. Jeffjrson Davis dined on New Tear's day with his former representative at Paris, Mr. Slided. The dinner was entirely private. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, being in mourning for her mother, was not present. GRANT AND THE "FAT COUffRIBU-} TOR." The President Elect on Public Men. The "Fat Contributor" telegraphs the fol? lowing information to the Cincinnati Times : I have just had an interview with General Grant, and obtained some of his ideas of pub? lic men, not given in the opinions published in the New York World, which I herewith send you. Ben Franklin is unquestionably a rapid type-sticker, and his enterprise in collecting the latest news renders him invaluable toan almanac, but he is visionary. His theory about lightning-rods protecting houses and barns during a thunder storm is one of the most ab? surd things I overheard of. Old Parr is a young man of brilliant talents and ambitions, butjhe ought to take better care of himself. I fear that neis hastening to an early grave. Washington is an efficient general of militia, and one of our most civil engineers. Many have censured bini for that little affair with his father's cherry trco, but 1 think it is time for us to bury thc hatchet. I have never seen Webster yet, though I have read his dictionary. It is not surprising to mo that a man of BO many words couldn't be President. I consider Colonel Crockett to be onr great? est American humorist, noxt to Tupper. His telling thc coon not to shoot, he would como down out of tbe tree, is equal to anything I have road in tho Globe. George Francis Train is one of our most noble women. His appeals in behalf ot her sex are both powerful and convincing. No one can read her speeches without being convinced he ought to vote. Brick PomeroyMs the modern Alexander the Great, weeping because there aro no more Worlds to conquer. What prodtoth it a man though ho gain tho whole World and lose both his daily and weekly circulation ? I have nothing against Jeff. Davis in parti? cular, that I know of, although he kept mo away from my business at Galena until it was nearly ruined-had to sall out at a sacrifice. But, no matter for that now. Let us have peace. I have no idea of removing "Nasby" from tho postoffice. Hejnust bo a substantial addition to tho revenue of the departmo'it, for his ''let? ters" , ass through every postoffico in tho Unit? ed Slates. Napoleon Bonaparte will probably never min? glo in public affairs again, so I will say little about him. If, however, he had boon elected President of tho United States, and attempted to read all tho petitions and applications for office that come, he would havo beou sent to tho lunatic asylum instead of St. Helena. He had a little luck in that particular, at l?ast. Brigham Young is a multitudinous husband and a numerous father, who has certainly done a great deal for Utah. How far he is going to bo allowed to "do" the United States rennins to bo seen. "J. N." is not as crazy as he might b?. I am not sure but he would make a good Secre? tary of tho Treasury. Ho is in favor of deed? ing* nil the land back to the Indians, and let the Indians assume tho national debt. This would certainly bo an easy and rapid solution of our financial difficulties. Peabody is a well meaning man, of muoh principio ii pon which ho has realized a great deal of interest. His princely gu*t to the Lon? don poor, I fear, is working harm. Mon who woro in comfortable circumstances before that donation was made, rednced themselves to abject boggary for the purpose of gotting a Sortion of the legacy, thereby sotting a very ad example indeed. Don Bice wanted to bo President, uind he may bo yet. If ho was bo would sell out tho public buildings, devoting the proceeds to? wards paying tho national debt, and carry on the government under a canvass to the music of a band. It's hard to go back on tho habits of a lifo timo. I should be more contented if there was a tanyard back of tho Whito House. There is a great deal of useless talk about Morrissey's having been in tho "ring/' A member of Congress who isn't in some sort of a "ring-' nowadays is very rare, indeed; and there are few of those "rings" as lespectable as thc prize-ring.

On Christmas Evo a midnight celebration was hold at St. James', Brighton, England. The church was partly filled by a respectable auditory, tho building itself profusely decorat? ed with laurels, holly and flowers, many largo crosses b.'ing formed by tho same. Tho altar was decorated with flowers, and on a side table was thc UBU i] light burning, but on this occasion surmounted oy a carved figure of tho Infant Saviour. Thc usnal display of em? broidered oreases, ftc, was exhibited by the officiating priests and choristers. The proceed? ings commenced with the imposing proces? sion, during which and throughout the en? tire service incens? was freely scattered atout. In fact, notwithstanding tho recent decision ot tho privy council, lights, incense bowings, ?c., were upon thc usual excessive scale. Many slishtly suppressed soumis of discontent were hoard throughout tho servtco, both within and without tho building, but at thc com? mencement of the offertory sentences a man atlast cried out: "Itu perfect bosh; I say perfect rubbish." Immediately some of the vergers, with their oaken staves, rushed to tho pew tn which hu was S'tiing; tho pnosts looked aghast, and tho choristers and tho congrega? tion seemed terror-etrioken as tho gentleman proceeded to say, whoo eff ?rta were made to expel him, 'T expected this; I am not afraid to ropcat my words; it is all perfect rubbish; leave mo alone; I will go away without heip." Tho j vergers again attempted to take holJ of him, i when h04aga>n said, "It is perice rubbish; I I carno here to worship God according to tho tenets of tho Church of England, not of the Church of Romo I This is all mockery and rubbish. Mr. Purcbas." Tho last w rds he uttered while crossing tho church and near? ing tho altar. On roaching the first (inner) doors of tho building, two or three over-earn? est vergers rathor pushed him into the oater lobby and thenco into tho street. The service was then resumed, thongb the voice of tho officiator was very tremulous, and sidelong glances were taken by those in tho choir at every murmuring sound irom without. Many persons immediately left thc budding; some I ten or a dozen only rcmaiuing to partake of thu Holy Communion, in tho celebration of whieu excessive b wings, lightings aud incen sings weio most freely indulged in. Tho con? gregation separated about ono o'clock, but owing to ?i detachment of police that, were stationed without, tho crowd offirol no per? sonal violence to them as they dispersed. THE Biunsu YACHT CAMBRIA.-This fast siding craft, owned hy Mr. Ashbury, which is coming t vcr to ibo United States t-; comps e witli American yachts for tho possession of tiic cup won by thc America, in 18.11, is a no v v s Kel, and was built, bj Rutsoy, of Cowes, Isle of Wight, aud was launched in 1858. Uer length is 88 feet; bc tm 20 foot 8 ino.ics. Sue han a most irregular slicer, spriugiag up suddo-ly I'm ward and ?itt, s miething altor thu s ylo ol a Dutch gailiott. Uer bead-knee is very short ?ind smears stunted ia growth. She has tue ordinary racing bow, though rather more hollow "than usual'. Tho foremast i3 well aft and tho mainmast well forward -loo CIOBO together, perhaps, to look well but spre.iding au immense area of canvas. Sho has about twenty-eight tons of lead ballast run and Uolto.l into her, and about fitly tons ol pig ballast. Her draft of water is "about eleven ami a balf fcot aft and five feet forward. Tho { ambria, it is stated, cannot bo considered a very handsome model, but her speed is un? questionable; and as tho present practice is to place as much lead iu the bo dom ufa vessel as can bc stowed, and to spread as much canvas as possible on tho spars, wealthy owners, liko Mr. Ashbury, spare no expense to secure their success by ?hese means. Notwithstanding the advantages the Cambria possesses ovor many yachts, it is asserted that she cannot bo con? sidered the best representative that Ensrhmd cm produce to compete for the "all-3ation3 cup." OLAKJSJS x tr JUS A: Mr. Dickens introduced ''Fagin," "Bill Sykes" and "Nancy" to an English audience on the night of January 5th. In anticipation of | the event every seat in the large St. James' Hall was occupied. A still more significant expression of the desire to do him honor was noticed in the effort made by the audience to he in the hall early. The papers had stated that this was Mr. Bickens1 wish, and the hold? ers of seats came early in such throngs that the entrances were badly blocked up. The London Daily News again notices the faults of Mr. Dickens as a reader, and remarks that his qualities, both the excellent and the reverse, v ere observable in the new selection, which he ?hen read in public for the first time. Perhaps we cannot do better than give the de? scription of the News, so far as it relates par? ticularly to the reading from "Oliver Twist," in full : The character of "Fagin" he acted through? out; and except that the London "fence'1 had too near a resemblance to the money-lender of I the Rialto, acted most admirably. The benev? olent young lady and her guardian were by no means so completely individualized; and even "Nancy" herself, fallen, degraded, brutalized, but with still one spark of human feeling, with one redeeming quality-her love for "Bill," and the hope that she may rese?e him as well as herself from their life of crime, and save them both from its inevitable consequences scarcely had justice done to her. Mr. Dickens seemed" afraid to display the full force of her passionate, half savage, bat still woman's na? ture. Ii the portrayal of the vulgar, sus? picious, and cringing charity boy, "Noah Clay pole," he was more successful; and there was no want of ruffianism, of thorough, coarse, reckless brutality, m the picture which ho Dre sented of "Bill 8ykes." The best parts of the reading were undoubtedly the interview be? tween "Sykes" and "Fagin," where the Jew discloses "Nancy's" treachery, and urges suggesting only, but certainly urges-his con? federate to her murder, tho description of that cruel and cowardly deed, and the passage which records the death of the burglar, banged in a noose of his own making. Mr. Dickens bad evidently reserved himself a good deal in the earlier part of tho reading, and worked up to the climax so skilfully and effectively as to ? bring down the house. * The applause was so loud and continuous that he was compelled tb return to the platform and bow his acknowl? edgments. pipping.
