MADRID, February 12.-The Constituent Cor? tos formally opened its sessions yesterday with great ceremony. Th6 city was profusely deco? rated in honor of the evont. Crowds of people were in the streets, flags were flying, aud tho t\aj regarded as a holiday. The president of tho ministry, Marshal Serano, delivered a con? gratulatory address to the deputies. At the opening of the Cortes Serrano said: "The nations of Europe, in attaining a higher degree of civilization, threw off the traditional bonds which bad-fettered the public mind. Spain delayed for a long time following tho ex "ample of her neighbors. Sho now calls on her representatives to construct a new edifice. The revolutiou has achieved a bloodk'ss victo ty. The strength of tho nation has not been impaired, but tho extravagance of the former administration has disorganized and emba? 'mased its finances. The government relies upon the Cortes to remedy this by economical reforms aud changes in the administration, by wise legislation in regard tc? tho public debt and paymeut ot interest thereon, and by econo? mizing the expenses of tho army and navy. The fundamental principles of radical liberal? ism which had been adopted in relation to re? ligion, the press and education by the provis? ional government, must now be consolidated by the action of our deputies. "Our revolution here is not responsible for the rising in Cuba. That is duo to the errors of psst governments." He expressed a hope that the insurrection there would be speedily extinguished, and that tranquillity, based ou reform, would bo durable. He predicted that slavery would bo abolished without precipitation and without compromising the prosperity of the Antilles. Tn conclusion, hu congratulated tho country on the good relations with foreign nations, now more intimate than ever before. FENIAN PHIS ONERS.

Some Further Accoants of thc Wonder? ful .'iiuiral KisouLi't s of Sparta. i?l)arg -A Prediction by Professor Lieber Furnaces and Kolling Ttl ills-Water Power, &c. [FIIOH AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] i SPAETAirsuno, February 10.-Your corres? pondent, "?ird's-Eyo," while passing "on tho wing" through our county has certainly seized and well porlrayed some of thc strong points in our position and resources. Perhapa you may be willing to h ?ar occasionally from ono on Ike perch. I had not the pleasure of read? ing tho "Pacolet" letter to which he refere, and may, perhaps, repeat some items whicli were in it. There is a remarkable pissage iuLie ber'sreport (1857), which shows bow ho was impressed by a professional 6urvcy of thc mineral resourses of our section: "There is great reason to believe that, ?it a future day, tho northeast coiner of Spartan borg and the- nortuwe. 'ern portion of York, with a small portion of Union, will form a high? ly important mining diBtric1;, m which the iron oro beds, to which it ha* hitherto owed its whole reputation as a mino tl legion, will form tho least important resources of wealth and prosperity. The population will be entirely changed, and tho scattering shanties of irou .re quarrymen and charcoal burners will cive place to tho thriving villages of industrio.* mechanics and miner*. This cistrict would be enclosed bv a semi-circle, having the point where the Broad R'.ver enters our State for its centre, and the distance thence to King's Moun? tain as radius, and would therefore cover about eighty square miles. Such a remark may ap? pear to many readers to be overdrawn and too highly colored. Yet it is the result of a careful inspection of tho region." This eastern part of our country is noarlv ?ii au iron bed. The iron and other mineral ores are found associated with tho mica slate, which overlies the gneiss in thw part of tho country. Lieber was struck with the ifcbohVu !. . (flex? ible sandstone) formation boro Ol about eighty square miles of this rock iv t io State, forty square miles are in Spartanb'L T- This rock is elsewhere (as in Brazil) found aaouciat ed with diamonds. These iron regions attracted attention even in the revolution. Early in this century a furnace was in operation near thc Cowpen's battle ground, which is sixteen miles northeast of tho courthouse, in 1832, the company selected a beautiful shoal on Paco? let, eight miles east of our town, and built the Rolling's Mills. Of this company, Simpson Bobo, of our bar, was an original stockholder, aud in addition, has been for many years tho agent of the South Carolina iron Manufactur? ing Compauy. Tho Rolling Mills are connected with the Cowpeas Furnace, twelve milos dis? tant, by a little railroad with horse power, per? haps the largest road of the kind ia thc country. lu this part of the county is thc Bivingsvillo Cotton Factory, on Lawson's Fork, four miles east of the courthouse. It stands on tho site of an old iron mill, burnt in the Revolution. It was built by a company chartered in 1837, with a capital of one hundred thousand dollar?. The present proprietors have built einco tho war a magnificent brick building noar the old wooden one, but higher up on the hill Bide, so as to bo above the roach of high water. J Thefollowiug list of a tew of our shoals i? from Mill's Folio Atlas, from which Lieber co? pied it into bis report alluded to above : Cher? okee Falls, Pacolet, 8 feet in 4 chains; Rolling Mills, Pacolot, 1G feet in 40 chains ; Cannon's Mill, Fa?oiel, 10 foot in 3 chains ; Pacolet Springs, Pacolet, 12 feet in 10 chains ; Trough Shoals, 20 feet in GO chai is; Bivingsvillo, Law? son's Fork, 25 feet ?rt-; Mountain Shoals, Ennoroe, 85 teet in 21 chains.

When the City of Paris beat the Cuba about a year ago, it was urged by tho Canard Company that tho race was not a fair test, as the Cuba was thc slowest mail steamer on the ono side, while the City of Paris was tho lasteBt on the other. But no such objection cati be made now; for tho Russia is considered among tho "crack" vest?s of tho Cunard line.

Chronicle.] We noticed some clays ago the appeal of tho Sisters of Mercy, of Charleston, South Caroli? na, for an appropriation wherewith to .rebuild their orphan asylum, destroyed by our guns in tho bombardment of tnat city during tke war. Their petition, as we then stated, was strongly backed up by such men as Generals Sickles and Gilmore, Admiral Dablgren, and various other officers, some of whom, as sick or wounded prisoners, shared the unsolicited beneficence of these sisters, who Were to thom in their distress veritable "ministering angels." So high ara t he testimonials to their good deeds deeds performed without respect to creed, country, or relation to the unhappy strife then in progress-that their petitiou seems to us to bave a peculiar claim to ? favorable hearing. Ia addition to the testimonials heretofoj e re? ferred to, we present the following affidavit, which tells its own story : Slate of Connecticut, County of New Haven, ss. I hereby certify that I, F. R. Jackson, (for? merly a sergeant in Company F, ?Seventh Con? necticut volunteer infantry), lost my left arm in battle on James Island, South Carolina, June 16, 1862, and was then aud there taken prisoner by the enemy. I was carried from the battle-field to Charleston, S. C., June 19,1862, and was there placod in a building known aa -Mart Hospital," on KiDg or Queen street, (am uncertain which), in which were confined all of Ihe prisoners token Tsoa 16. who were seriously wounded. Soon after our arrival in Cheleston, we were vieited by Sister M. Xavier, ascompanied Dy another Sister of Mercy, each beanug comforts for us, the wounded Union prisoners*) Sister Xavie came to the hospital prison daily, accompanied each timo by another sister, and each day went to all of om- number aud gave fruit, corn bread, cake, meat: gruel, arrow root, and sometimes chickens and chick? en broth. She brought me daily either a bottle of wine or of brandy-goucrally a bot? tle of old Malaga wino. There were eight wounded men confined in our coll, only ono of whom, Captain Lawler, was a Roman Catho? lic. All received tho same attentions at tho hands of Sister M. Xavier and companion. The majority of our number wero of tho Pro? testant fa'th; but there waa no distinction made between us on account of religion or wuionality. Tho Bisters were, day and night, unremitting in the'r attentions to us. They provided for ail of our wants, aud mado our pnson life in Charleston a perfect heaven on earth, compared to what wo experienced after leaving that pla'je. Sister Xavier offen brought interesting books of a'l kinds. Lint, medi? cines und money, were furnished by her to tho-o m need, and nearly al), if not alt, were daily supplied with wine, cordial, brandy or somo stimulating liquor. This kind treatment continued without intermission during the two months we were prisoneia in Charleston. 1 have not the commaud of language where? with to sufficiently attest tho great benevo? lence and kindness of tho Sisters of Mercy who were in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1862, ministering to the every want of our wounded Uniou prisoners, nearly all^if whom, myself included, were Protestants.

Joubcrt said that there are heads that have no windows, and that daylight cannot strike tiom above. Such are the heads of the jour? nalists who arc only just beginning to discover thal important truth about General Grant's fu1 ure political relations which was clearly set forth by the Hound Table as long as last No? vember. Immediately after tho Presidential election it was shown in these columns that tho bitu.itlo i of the successful candidate rela? tively to the extremists of the dominant Deny was such that he must inevitably either be ruled by thom ar net thom at Aaiianco; that, inasmuch as at the Mme or thc convention, they needed him very much more than he needed thom, it was unlikely, even were he a plastic man, that they could control his policy as President; and that, as he is by no means a plastic man, tho contrary alternative might be regarded as a certainty. Wo have no objec? tion to furnish ideas for the journalists-cus? tom bas made it easy; for the discriminating public will boar witness bow regularly the seeds have been sown by tho Round l able that have subsequently sprouted into fall bloom sensations, crusades and startling develop? ments in the i'ertilo pages of the dailies. Bat we really think their windows might have been sufficiently open to admit so obvious aud nec? essary an inference as this about General Grant without bang ob?god to take it from second kami; moro especially after so Jong a time that, through its dissemination amoug tho masses, thc instructive reflection has come from below rather than from above. General Gram's visit to tho metropolis, at a moment just beloro his inauguration, seems to have been instrumental in producing this sud? den enlightenment, and for reasons not diffi? cult to find. Ho has for somo time beon t uv nt; thouing himself with war Democrats and conservative Republicans, and giving tho Radicals nf hoi h parties an impartial cold shoulder. This has been accompusued through means well understood toy tho initiated, but only dimly appreciated, throuuh results, by tho general public. Floating iu tho atmos? phere everywhere-whence or how none could exactly to.l-has been, and is, tho conviction ihat between Giaut and tho hitherto ail-pow? erful Radicals is to bo a deathless tend. But nilli the General's visit to ?Sew York this has taken a more pa pable form. It is now known thittho disposition of those great bones of contention, aud, JU thc matter of their distri? bution, those unerring indices of polioy, Lao Cabiuet offices, tho loieign missions, aud tho threo groit government positions al tho me? tropolis, will bc such ns to eoustiiuo a gaunt? let Ot defiance thro wu do an at tho feet a*, thc Radical faction, lt is known that the Troas ry has been ouerod to Mr. A. T. Stewart-aud that he has declined it. The State .Depart? ment has been offered to Mr. Charlea Frunc?s Adams-and Le has taken thc proposal into sorious consideration. Should he refuse, Mr. Motley is tho next choice. Tho War Depart? ment-aud this is very significant-has been tendered to General McClellan, and has so far neither been accepted nor declined. Ex-Gov cruor Fish has tho option ol' the portfolio in tuc latter case. Thc Navy Departmoni hav? ing been gratefully declined by Admiral Farra? gut, has been offered to Admiral Porter, who is pretty sure to accept it. Strong effoi ts havo been made to induce thc appointment of Mr. E. IL Washburue as Munster lo France, but thoy are almost certain io tail. It is pretty woll decided that Mr. M. H. Grinuell is to be Collector of iNew York, aud that Mr. C. A. Dana will bo either Surveyor or Navy Agcut. The last-named gentleman is almost as popu? lar w:th Democrats as with Republicans, and his appointment aud subsequent career-able aud upnglit maa that he is-will go far to efl'aco the stain left on New York journalism by thc conduct, m the latter cilice, ufa former incumbent. Other n.imes might bo men? tioned iii connection, with important posts still more sharply indicativo of Radical discomfit? ure, and tho only sop to U.'rbcrus seems to consist iu Hie selection ol Mr. Greeley as Me? ister io England-a step for which there arc exceptional reasons, aud which is now said to ho fitialy determined u:-ou. Mr. Johu W. Forney has boon spoken of for Mr. Greeley's long Bupposed futuro niche-tho Pontofhce; but Mr. l'orney's simmer connection willi let? ter s m fenner days, would materially damago his caanees, cveuif his extreme Radicalism uid uot. all this clearly indicates th3 geooral naturo of President Grant's future policy. The Rad? icals have not lifted him to power, and ho does not mcau to show them gratitude tor favors not cvnterred. ?lo kuows that he is etroug enough vvitaout them. Aloioover. uot becauso they are Republicans-for Democrats iu tho like position would have doue tho aame-but becauso they bad the ciiauce, tho extremists arc so far identified with the schemes of public plunder that Graut's cherished plans uf re? trenchment and economy must noeds bring about a co'lisiou. Thus tho handwriting on the wall is daily becoiniug plainer aud plaiuer, and there is little oceasioa to regret its im? port. Tr.e Radic.il faction has outlived the system that gavo it birth quite long enough, and thc sooner ii draws the di apery of its couch about it and prepares to lie ao>vn lo pleasant dreams tue better for the nation. -How could that stationery contractor ai, Washington offer to supply gold pens with sil? ver coses at seven cents a dozen ?

Execution of Whelan. ?he AInrderer of D'Arcy McGee, at Ottawa, Canada Canse of tho Crime-The Trial and Con - viction-Statement of the Prisoner. A dispatch dated Ottawa, Canada, February ll, gives the following account of the execution of James Whelan, for the assassination of the Hon. Thomas D'Arcy McOeo : THE CAUSE OF THE CRIME. An Irishman by birth, and of very respecta? ble parentage. Thomas D'Arcy McGee at an early age emigrated to the United States, and for some time pursued the profession of journalist in Boston. After the lapse of a few years he returned to Ireland, be camc attached to the Dubliu Nation, but being in some way connected with the revolutionary outbreak of 1818, was compelled to leave his native land and seek refuge in the United States. He remained in Now York for awhile, and then removed to Montreal, where he ever after resided. In Canada Mr. McGee attained a high position in political life, and from being a warm republican becamo an ardent royalist. When the Fenian movement com? menced, he severely denounced and used all of his influence against it. Thc position bc took on this question made him unpopular with the masses of his countrymen in the United States and Canada, and he was either expelled or iorced to resign his membership of the St. Pa? trick's Society of Montreal. As later develop? ments prove, soon after ho announced his op? position to the Fenians, a plot was formed to assassinate bim. THE HCEDEE. At half-oast two o'clock on the morning of the 7th of April last, Air. McGee left tho Par? lement buildings at Ottawa on his return home to hts lodgings, on Sparks-street. There had been a night session of Parliament, and he had delivered a very able aud eloquent speech on the subject ot the attitude of Nova Scotia to? ward the Dominion. A number of persons left the buildings at about the same time he did, among them a lad named William Trotter, one of thc pages of the House ot Commons, and a son of Mr. McGee's landlady. Just before leaving the Parliament grounds tho report of a pistol was heard, and on the lad arriv? ing near his mother's bouse, he found tho murdered man lying ou the sidewalk. Ho immediately gave tho alarm, and on persons reaching the scene Mr. McGee breathed a few tames and then expired. Soon after Whelan "-as arrosted. He was subsequently iried and convicted. Every effort was mada to have tho sentence mitigated, but without avail. Winn the unhappy mau ascertained thal there ? as no hope he turned his attention to religion. Catholic priests and Sisters of Mercy were constantly with bim, administer-' ing those religious consolations which ore so valued by persons of his faith. His bohavior was uniformly quiet and good. TH? EVENTFUL MOE NINO-A LABOE CEOWD IN ATTENDANCE. The day was mild and sunshiny, tho sky blue and cleat. At au carly hoar there was small appearance of a crowd, but by nine peo? ple began driving in from tho country, and be? fore ten, suddenly, os it by magic, tully ten thousand were garnered. An unusual y large proportion were boys and women. At the par? lor windows of tho few respectable houses which dot the open country behind the jail overlooking the scaffold were gathered many ladies of high standing. Police aud soldiers pressed back the crowd from the walls, bnt could not keep them clear. Inside tho court were two companies of troops, with fixed bayonets and loaded rifles. THC PRISONER'S HST HOURS ON EARTH. Whelan passed a bad night. About seven o'clock his courage deserted him and he burst into an agony of tears, crying that God bad forsaken him, and that he must die for another mau's crime. Tho Bev. Fathers O'Connor and Tabaret, who, with tho Sisters of Mercy, were unremitting iu their attendance, tried to cheer him with the consoiat'ons of roligion, and he partook of the holy sacrament. Afterwards he fed into a troubled Bleep, occasionally crouch? ing into the cell corner aud crying for the watchers to save him. He bad bidden fare? well to his wife affectionately in tho evening. At six o'clock this morning he awakened, had a cup of coffee, some toast and eggs, and passed two hours in prayer, occasionally varied by a wild burst of weeping, tho priests meanwhile exhorting bim to courage. Uo dressed care? fully in black, neatly brushed, with polished boots and a green tie. In religious exercises tho time passed until a quarter past ten, when the executioner arrived and inspected the pre? parations. Whelan in bia corridor, surrounded by the priests and nuns, fell on bis knees and fervently recited prayers after Father O'Con mr. THE OFFICIALS AND EXECUTIONER. The corridor doors were opened and the sheriff announced that the hom' for the execu? tion had arrived. All heads were bared, and some of tho spectators within the orison were deadly faint and sick. Tho sheriff ?rae dressed in black, with a cocked hat and sword; the jail governor in blaok. The executioner was clad in a blue jacket and pantaloons, with a striped red and white cap. His cape was closely swathed with blaok crape. He was young, lithe and active. His hands and foot and features, so far as distinguishable through the crape, wore delicate aa these of a woman, and a woman many take this executioner to have boon. ARR rv AL OF TH 5 PRISONER-IIIS 8FEE0H. Whelan walkod firmly, although his month twitched nervously, and the Angora of his pin? ioned hands strove to gripo each othor hard. Father O'Connor prayed aloud, and Wh lan re ? s ponded mechanically, iu a voice that was trembling and husky: "Christ bavo morey upon I us." His eyes ani cheeks were swollen, but his faco othorwiso pallid. He advanced to the drop and took Ins placo firmly, flo said: "My Friends aud Feiiaio-counfrymvi-I ad? dress'a fow wordsitoyoa upon this solemn oc? casion. I hope you will pardon this ray oflonce. This is my hope-that you viii forgivo mo. I a-k it from thc bottom of my heart iu this sol? emn bout, a id from all whom 1 have injured by word, act or deed, I ask forgiveness for the same. God save Ireland 1 God save my soul !'' TH 3 EXECUTION. Tho execulioner drew down tho cap over bis eyes and placad tho noose round his neck, and with his whit.', dry lips still muttering a prayer, when least expected, the drop fell and Wuel an was launched into eternity. He foll six feet. His feet kicked together once. His body vibrated for less than a ni nuto and he was dead. Tho drop fell as mae minutes past eleven o'clock precisely. The crowd dispers ed moat quietly. HS-ALL ARTICLES SOLD FROM THE establishment of WM. S. CORWIN k 00., No. 275 E ug-street, between Wentworth and Bcaufain, oro of the FIl?ST QUA.LI TY.
