Alfred kruger, Charleston : MY DEAR Sm-1 received with profound re? gret your request to lay before the Board of Directors your- lotter of resignation. It is always painful to part from those with whom our associations have been long and kind, but from ono who is revered and admired, and from whose hps we have been accustomed to reoeive the teachings that elevate the senti? ments aud enlarge thu mind, tho separation is both painful and depressing. Influenced by these feelings, 1 was reluctant to preseut your resignation to tho board, and dually complied only in obedience to your wishes.

TUE Jj ATE EX-GO VERNOR DICKENS. His Fanerai Obsequies. IFrom th? Ed go Hold Advertised.] Tho funeral of this distinguished citizen and statesman-so peculiarly honored and beloved in this, his homo -took place oh Wednesday last. During tho Tuesday preceding, thebody, arrayed id the splendid uniform which he wore as Chief Magistrate of Carolina in her day of hope and pride, lay in state at Edeowood, whose walls were richly and appropriately draped in mourning; and friend aft? friend, and citizen ai'cur citizen, went to look for the last timo upon tho noble and revered dead. On Wednesday, our town and district pourod forth their inhabitants to do honor to the sae ocasi?n. Bo much so that not only was tht chiuoh crowded to its utmost ct?p?oity, bud even tho churchyard and area ia front were thronged with sorrowful friends and fellow <*itiz?ns, all anxious to show their deop appre? ciation ol' che departed patriot. The mule citi? zens, with the teachers and pupils of the seve? ral schools, formed in procession, and receiv? ed, uncovered, the fine-ral cortege upon tho public square. Moving from ttience to Trinity Church, tue procession was met by R v. E. T. Walker, officiating clergyman; and as he read the introductory sentences of the sublime burial service of the Episcopal Church, the grand, solemn strains of Beethoven's Funeral March resounded through the sacred edifice, mingling its moans with tho bitter plaint ol human woe. So muoh of the service as is appointed for tho church, being over, the vast congregation sang with one ac? cord and deep feeling, that hymn of comfort and assurance, "How firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord;" after which the pall bear? ers, numbering sixteen of our most promising citizens, passed down the aisle, bearing to the ?rave the illus trions dead, wnilethe organ sob? ed out ita low Miserere, and the mourning concourse slowly followed. After the conclu? sion of the services of the church, the coffin, covered with evergreens and flowers, waa low? ered, and our unhappy State received into h r bosom all that remained of the grear, the true, the loyal heart, that had loved and served her. One most touohing feature of this impres? sive funeral was the grief and lamentation of tho orowd of former slaves who flocked to pay tho tribute of respect to him who had been to them the kindest ?nd best of masters. And prominent among these, standing in one of tho upper corners of tue church, with his white head reverently bowed, was "Old Harper," bia bony-servant, whose lovo and faithfulness to his master through fifty long years had never ?mown change or shadow of turning. How FORTUNES GBOW.- It ii astonishing how enormously largo fortunes have increased in this country within the last few years. When John Jacob AH tor died, his wealth could not have been estimatt d at more than ten mil? lions, and, as late aa 1860, the wealth of bia BOD, William B. Astor, was not over twenty millions. Now, we aro told, it is as great as seventy-five to a hundred millions. Stewart, the dry goods tycoon of New York, was barely a millionaire ten y ears ago ; now ho is said to be worth twenty millions; and hundreds bf prosperous business men iu that great oily, who pos ?essed large fortunes in i860, poasoau .o? tunes five or ten t mos as large now. New York exhibits, most (strikingly, thia process of enormous iucreaao in ?private lortnnes, but the same procesa ia presented in nearly all cities. Everywhere prudent, oar cf ul and discreet, nob men have grown immensely richer, anti we oan preseut many examples of colosaal wealth equal to thoae m Europe. A hundred thous? and do.lar*, ten years ago, waa esteemed a large fortune, ana a million waa a rare and conspicuous example of ?neceas. Now, the former amount, ia esteemed a trifle, and scores of meu oan bo pointed out who poetess the latter. A commercial failure for half a million waa once regarded as a groat disaster ; now failures that do not involve one to Ave millions eoarosiy attract attention. REVIEW, THE MILITARY SERVICES AND PUBLIC LIFE OF MAJOB-GENEBAL JOHN SULLIVAN OF THE A MER? IGAN REVOLUTIONARY ABMT. By Thomas C. Amory. Wiggm A Lunt : Boston. Mr. Bancroft has become tho standard his? torian of America, perhaps not BO muoh by inherent merit-although it must ba admitted that his merits are not slight-as by tho de? fault of authors of first-rtto abilities. The events of tho Revolution have boen sufficiently illus? trated by such writers as Botta, Ramsay, and cl here; and in tho field of American biography there havo boen workers sufficient in number and in talent; but of the entire comprehensive rauge of our history, from tho first discovery of tho continent to tho present time, there has not been, as yet, any undertaking which caa comp re in pretension, or even in real merit, to that of Mr. Bancroft. The time may como when the attention of some futui e generation having been fixed with that greater degreo of curiosity upon the past, which the very re? moteness in time of tho ovents tends to create, some historian of America may arise, to whom Mr. Bancroft will be what Rapin, or perhaps IOSB than Rapin, is to Hume. In tho mean? time, he stands solo master of a thorne already splendid with incident and philosophy, and day by day becoming rapidly enriohod, on the scalo of a national increase, such as the world has never before witnessed. Perhaps one of the worst effects of this par? amount authority of a single writer on a his? torical subject, ia the false estimato of indi? viduals whioli his wilful misrepresentations, or even his honest mistakes, will inevitably transmit to posterity. Tho Rroat mass of men havo neither tho means nor tho inclination to sift tho truth with regard to those whose ac? tions no longer affect them with a personal in? terest ; and the prevailing opinion of a people will always bo in general accord-moo with the views and assertions of tho ruling historian. Tho errors of Mr. Bancroft, and his frequent deliberate injustice, havo often boon combatted with regard to tho lives and servicos of emi uent mon in our past history; and in no in? stance with which wo aro acquainted, with more careful researoh and greater success than in the book before us. Especially is this true with regard tp his military reputation, which is the point particularly at issue in ti e discus? sion. Wo cannot but think that Mr. Amory has erred in announcing himself, with all tho pomp of sounding preface, and with frequent iteration through all his pages, as the defen? der of General Sullivan. The object of a wri? ter of biography is always hindered by tho declaration of a parlisan purpose; for men know tbat love influences the reason as much as hatred, and receive, with just as many grains of allowance, that which is ostensibly written to exalt a character, aa that which is ostensibly written to traduoe him. Mr. Ban? croft also enjoys an advantage m this, that he undoubtedly did not writo his history in ord er to detract from tho fame of General Sullivan, while Mr. Amory, from his own continually ob? truded declaration, did oompose his book in order to defend his reputation. This conside? ration, however, refers merely to the effeot upon the prejudices-which no writer is wiso to disregard-and it has nothing to do with the facts and proofs, as stated, which nlontr, - the mind of one anxious to discover the truth would regard, and by whiah alone be influenced. Wo merely mean to say that the same mdon tr? eal facts and inferences, whon arrayed upon the pages of a volume, would produce a cer? tain effect upon tbe minds of readers in gen? eral with a greater certainty, when unattended by tho positive declaration that it was intend? ed to be produced.. In the performance of Mr. Amory we recog? nize many merits, and but ono conspicuous fault. It is in places unduly prolix. Unfortu? nately, too, this prolixity* expooially abounds in the panegyrical portions of the book-those very portions in which a proper regard for his object should have prompted Mr. Amory to be concise. Tho mind, under the most favorable circumstances, receives with a certain caution and suspicion the praises of another, and it dangerously magnifies tho difficulties of con? viction to weary the reader with their too fre? quent repetition, or too long continuance. We do not desire, however, to appear hypercriti? cal, and hasten to say that tho style of compo? sition is graceful and vigorous, and tho narra? tive interesting, with a clear and succinct statement of facts. The research, which the performance indicates, is highly commendable, and, as its fruit, presents to the reader both a full account of the life and actions of General Sullivan, if not Boswellian in its minuteness, yet sufficiently Boswellian to make up a first class biography, and also a faithful and exceed? ingly instructive picture of the times m wuieh General Sullivan lived. Decidedly tho most instructive and entertaining portion of tho book is the narrative from the ti .ne when Sulli? van retired from tho army, after the Indian campaign in 1799, to the date of hts death. With a full collection of contemporane? ous documents, judiciously selected, and with just and sensible comment, a com? plets picture of those troubled times subse? quent to the revolution, when every thing was now and nothing determined, is brought to our view. This aooount is more complote and graphic from the fact that General Bulli van, after his retirement from the army, was con? tinually an active participant in the civil af? fairs of the country; and the incidents of this portion of his carom- let us into the secret, not sufficiently appreciated now on aooount of re? moteness in time, of the almost overwhelming difficulties our ancestors encountered in estab? lishing their present, and providing for the fu? ture, when the victory had been won by arms; the cores and anxieties thoy suffered, the la? bors thoy performed, the wisdom, courage and magnanimity they displayed, The lights of past history are necessary to a full comprehension of tho prosont ; and such a narrative as this is of tho utmost value in our times, by snowing troubles a hundred fold greater than those whioh have followed upon inc recent national convulsion, uii overcome ny wisdom and by temperance, to teach us oar living duty, to comfort us with a greater eati? faotion now, and lo cheer us with a moro confi? dent hope foi tiio future. THE "PBBF, OT SEWT^O MACHINE."- Mr. A. Backus, M. D., of Beobester, in his lettur ot May 7,1M66. says of a sewing machine whioh has been in UKO in his family for f .ur years: . Tt makes a remarkably strong scam, whioh nover rips when properly ?-owed. It has never been out of order; nor have we ever broken a needle.

Tho importance of the means of safe and speedy communication between this city and tho surrounding country cannot be over estimated, and it is highly desirable that they should bo provided at as early a date as practicable. The question SB to whether the expenses connected with tho construction of a free bridge across tho Congaree should be defrayed by tho State or the counties moro especially benefitteol by tho improvement, is a matter ap? propriately for your consideration.

Ot sale-day in Newberry, the Herald says : "Everybody, with their wives and children, were in town on Mondav, and the streets pre? sented a scene of animated nature not seen be? fore for several proceeding sale-days. The business of the day was active; cotton taking anqther rise; tho spirits of the people rose iu por oort ion, and tho prices realized for the various property sold were a favorable indi? cation of a people's prosperity. We notioed particularly the sale of one hotso wnich brought $40 more than the owner asked or dared hopo co obtained. "The following tracts of land were sold as fol? lows : Two 1mmiro 1 and forty-six acres bring? ing $1875; two hundred and twenty-three, $1375; seventy-six, $660, and sixty-six acres $420. Horses and mules of whioh there were several, running, tor good stjok, as high &i $250." Spartanburg. The Spartan in its sale-day report says : "A large number of the good citizens of Sparen? burg District werd here on last Monday. They appeared oheerfui with the result of the list iTt?I*, and hopeful for the future. Wagons of all description, from all arts and parts-loaded with all kinds of produce, und we expeot a good deal of trading was earned ou with our merchants. Numerous tracts of land were sold, hut only one oy the sheriff under execu? tion containing ono hundred and thirty-two aerea, for $310. Tho Judge of Probate sold ? two hundred acres for $141?; two hundred and three acres for $354; one hundred and seventy seven aci o i for $59J; seventy-two aeres for $280; one hundred and thirty acres for $600. Tho latter sales wero on a credit of twelve months.with interest. The Copeland estate lands, sold by tho clerk ot the court, ou a credit of one ^ea^ with interest as follows: Fifty-two acres, $1205; fifty ao.ej. $1480; one hundred and forty oer^s, S IUD; iwo hundred and tweuty-ssvon acres, $100; three hundred and four acres, $101); one hundred and thirty acros. $145. The lands of the Head estate were sold at the following pnces on a credit of ono and two years : Two hundred and fifty aeres, $1075; two hundred and twenty acres, $805." Marlon. Town improvements aro tbo order of the day in Marion village, and a now market is talked of. The Crescent says: "The Court of Common Pleas and General Sessions, his Honor Judge Rutland presiding, is now sitting iu this town. The judge is ? portly and comfortable-looking gontieman, aged about fifty years, as we should think. We hear him spoken of as impartial and judicious iu tho management of business." The same paper says: "A few days ago we had occasion to travel over the road between this place and Little Rook. Ou every side we could ?oe tho signs of thriving industry. Tho lands in the northern port of our district are finely adapted to oom and cotton, ant. Indeed, to farming generally. The inhabitants of this section ore full of thrift and energy, and will, no doubt, wonderfully devolope their resource? in the court* n of ? fow years. Bat there is one great drawback upon the prosperity of this favored regio.\ and that is .he labor of hauling their produce to the railroad and thoir guano a. id g mc o rici back. At this, season OL' the ?rear the roads are wet and by hauling beary oada ovor thean they become shocking y eut .up, und iuuoo? tua at tim H almost impassa? ble. Tho fine o mini ry h.?tween Marion Court? house and JJenuottsvillo nu ids ono ureat work lo make it (he garden spot of the Stato, and that id a railroad count toting these two points by way ot Littio ROCK." Darlington. * On Monday afternoon, tho first of February, a building bolorig.ng to air. A. Corrie, at Florence, and contain mg guano and other, phoa,mates, was entirely co..sumed ?>v fire.* Ttl oro woe no insurance ou a nd properly. L BS heavy. The fire is thought, to have been tho work of an incendiary. Thc Dem ?erat scouts the idea of the removal of the comry seat from that place. Ic s pea ko of numerous town improvemonts and deo!aros exultantly that Darlington vdlngo will have all I the advantages of a o mera I position in one of j the richest cotton growing sections in .tho Bute. It says: "We notice three now hui ki it ge going up on o .o of our streets, and we beor of some moro to bo btu IL soon. There is no better indication of prosperity, and we have no doubt our town ero long will De one ot the most thriving in the oom.try. Work will soon bs coi mu on o ed on thu jail and courthouse." Of solo-day in D rliugto i the sanio parer says: *'YVe had a Uv go crowd in town last Monday, and during ino da? a good deal of property chung d han ls. There was quito t. largo stock or horses and malts, and minny were . lld at g ?od pnces. Cover 1 tracta of land were sola < n winou the Imidin r was quito spirited, until very good pnces were roached. Monday waa return-day, and the sheriff was rapidity moving; through tho crowd with a largo pile of papers, dispensing them right and lett to hts friends. The reports of preparation for the crop, and other district news is very good-good order prevails, and work has fairly commenced." Tm EARLY RISING NUISANCE.-Wo do not desire to bo regarded as ono who sots a bad example tor tho rising generation, nor do wo fully endorso the sentiment of John G. Saxe, that the reason Thomson wroto HO charmingly about the seasons wa? because he (Ld it at "10 A. M.," while lying in bod; but we freely ad? mit that the following facts, as told by the Sat? urday Review, meet our cordial s .pport, and we are fally convinced of their correctness, Franklin "to tho contrary notwithstanding :" Of courso to rise early is a virtuo of the highost quality, if you want to catch tho first railway train, or if you want to get through a oertain quantity of special work or correspond? ence before beginning the routine of busi? ness of the day. But who does not know a creature of the ascetic sort, who will tell you at uino o'olook, with invincible pharisaism, that he has been up over since six, has had his breakfast ever so long ago, and that he cannot enduro to he in bed after sunrise ? You ask him what be has boen doing with tho three hours which his horoic fortitude has thus givon him. The chances are that ho has beon doing nothing, excopt contemplating, in Brah minio fashion, tho beauties of his own perfec? tion and comparing thom with the miserable weakness of men wbo he abed until seven or eight o'clock, because they know that there is still hours enough in tho solid day to use up all their energies. On the whole, perhaps, aman might as well be comtortably recruiting him? self in bed as stalking hither and thither over the house, rou ad tho gardon, into tho stable, thinking all the time how good and groat a being he is because he goes in for bair shirts. Eating and drinking givo mon of this temper another fino chance, of which they never re fuso to avail themselves, ot donning the hair shirts and tho laurel wreath which thoy sup? pose to belong to it. DARKIES IN THE GALLERIES OF CONGRESS_ Don Piatt writes to the Cincinnati Commercial: 1 was greatly amused at what one of tho door? keepers of tho gallery said to me not long since. I remarked to him that thc colored pooplo wero not BO fond of attending tho debates of Con? gress as they wore formerly. "The weather is too fine," ho responded, sen? tentiously. "Why, what has tho weather to do with it ?" I asked." "Everything. When it ia cold and uncom? fortable and no warm sido of a wall to bo had, they flock here, for they have comfortable seats and a warm place without paying for it. You come hore some bitter, cold, inclement day, and see how crowded tho gallarics will bo with our colored friends. They will sit and sloop and snore here all day, like black snakes in the sun of spring." Poor creatures.
