They consisted of one, three, nine, twenty-seven pound weights. -A Washington telegram says : "Kev.

'Qr-1.oral Gushing, the United Sti tes Special ?Commissioner i o Bogota, in cuuniolion with the Isthmus O?fca!, returned to Panama from his mission on The 4th inHt., and arrived ia New York by tho steamer Henry Chauncey on Saturday. It is stated that the General has been entirely successful in his mission, and brings home with him a treaty for tho pro? jected Isthiv us oanal, which only awaits tho approval of tho Congress of tho United Stales. He arrived in Washington yesterday. During his stay on tho Isthmus, at Aspinwall, General Cashing^ accompanied by .the United States Consuls al Panama and Aspinwall, and other gentlemen, called ou his Excellency the Presi? dent, and was received with military honors and with the most becoming courtesy. AUer wards General CUB liing was entertained by General Smith, at tho United States Consu? late. -It seems to be pretty generally conoeded that Mr. Johnson, on retiring from the Presi? dency, will plunge at once into the political struggles of Tennessee; and it seems to be equally well understood that if he docs, be will make lively times for everybody concerned. A Nashville letter in the leading Democratic paper of St. Louis, tho Republican, says there is a good deal of opposition to tho project on the part of the Democratic leaders; but this, he thinks, w?li make uo differenco with the re? sult, for, be adds, that he never knev: !?r. John? son nominated on the Democratic ticket with? out great opposition from tho party; but that he always sucoaeded. The writer adds : "John? son is not a party leader, but a leader of a cer? tain olass of tho people. Ho is a party driver, ?f it ie his intention to canvass Tennessee for the office of Governor, he will do it, no matter what Democratic leaders may say, no mat Lev what bondaolding Conservatives may say, no matter what the Conservative papers of Ten? nessee may write on tho subject. But nono of these will openly oppose him. I can safely predict that A. J.'s aanvass for tho Governor? ship of this Stato, should it bo made, will not be excelled-by anything in tho way of political drama, yet enacted, for riohnosa of entertain? ment." -A Washington letter to the Baltimore Ga aefcte says: "The examination ot private ser? vants on Mr. Corcoran'?* ola m excites no littb comment m diplomatic circles. The claim for ?be occupation of property by the Lincoln ad? ministration was allowed in the Treasury De? partment. Congress not denying tho justice of it, seeks to avoid the payment of it by tax? ing air. Corcoran wi tn disloyalty. Accordingly Mr. Brower, wbo was a scarcely gtown man six or Heven years ago, is brought before the Committee on the District of Columbia, to whom tho claim has been referred in the .Sen? ate, and allowed to testify in an examination striotly exporte, that afc a private dinner afc the Russian Minister's a very prominent gentle? man-one of the old school-said that he would give ten thousand dollars to itave Jeff. Davis cometo Washington and hang Lincoln and bis Cabin ot, upon which Mr. C. said that he would give ten times as muoh. No gentleman, possessed of that tact which long political ex perienco gi ved, would have so compromised a minister in troublous times, needes whioh, another gentleman, said to have beeu*present, declares that he never was at suoh a dinner. Baron Stoeokl has left Washington, lt is now known, not to return; otherwise this oreature would never have dared to give soy such testi? mony. What will be the upshot of lt it is im? possible to say. Somo foreigners think that the members of tbs committee may yet have the decency to dismiss the subject without at tempting to make tho testimony public The 4des of trusting si say tims to th? testimony of laokoys as to private dinner tablo conversa? tion, is simply too mvuietruuts, ?nd to ?I le m pi, to bring it forward after years Lave elapsed makes it a croat deal worse." -A steam velooipedo has recently been in? vented, by wbich it is asserted croat speed can be obtained. The cylinders are placed vertically in front of the boiler, between it and the seat, and conneot with cranks on tho sbaft of the driving wheels, whioh, two in number, are situated on the frout part of the carriage Tho engino is a direct-acting compound on piuo of two cylinders, oach oylinder two-and-a half inches diameter and Ave inches stroke. The stoerinR gear consists of an endless chain working over a grooved wheel on tho axle of tho driving wheels, and passing over a corres? ponding whcol, ttxod botweon the forked shaft just over the single steering wheel, whioh in this instance is in the rear ot tho carriage Tho latter grooved wheol is a wide one, and over it passes another chain, which works around tho boss of the frout wheel. This arraupemont gives power to tho steering wheel, BO that in turning a corner it takes a wider sweep than the two driving whools, which go first. In travel? ling on a straight road the machino is turnod to oither side by turning tho steering wheel to the opposite side. Tho fire box and lubes arc copper, pressure two hundred pounds to thc square inch; but it is assorted that a pressure ot twenty-five pounds of steam will give e power equal to tho force necessary to propel ? volocipode by ihe feet. Tho steam velocipedes howover, it is asserted, will be an uncomforta? ble apparatus for the driver, sinco ho must sr near tho boilor. Up to January 1,1869, it ii reported, thore have been taken out thirt; patents for velocipedes, the first patent datin| Juno 26, 1819. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17,186 Our Financial Position. The question of the resumption of speci payments, which is so generally discussed i the North, at tracts but little attention in th Southern States. Our newspapers are nc flooded with letters pointing out the roye road to the hard money era ; publi speakers have no word to say about th almighty paper dollar; our new-fledged rep resentatives in Congress are not bore with memorials or- petitions in opposilio to tho glitter of gold, or in favor of th flimsy greenback. The reason is obvioui We aro at thia moment, notwithstanding tb war and the uncertainties of a system < free negro labor, in a more sound financii condition than are the Northern State At our backs we have two and a half mi lion bales of cotton, worth in the mark' two hundred aud fifty million of dollar In this State alone, the cotton crop is wort more than twenty million. This year tl South may expect to produco at least foi million bales, and we do not anticipate thi any crop short of four and a half millit bales will cause uplands to sell for less tht from twenty to twenty-two cents. Cottc is our back-bone, the strong, tower of oi whylo commercial fabric. It is evidei enough that, as long as we oin make co ton as well as we have done during the la year, ns long as the world seeks in va that long-looked for cotton country whit can make it independent of our staple, 7 .can ot<ruiu..nd 411 the currency that we r quin , ao l be always in a better positii to rfciJ^jB?Sspecie paj'ments, or enduro i meonvertible currency, than the merchan and manufacturers of the Northern centr of trade! . Cotton is gold, if we choose to make so. The price of the staple is r?gul?t' by the European demand, and not by d mestic consumption. Every pound of c< ton which is exported is sold for gold, ai we repeat that the South could drain't whole of New England and the Weat of speoie, by requiring that cotton should paid for in hard money alone. Such a p icy on our part, however, would evir little praotical wisdom. There is not ov< much confidence here in either greenbac or United States securities. The plant? and farmers do not invest their balances five-twenties or seven-thirties or any otl national huanctal ^denomination. Th distrust, however, is gradually weari away; but it is still strong enough to int them to buy gold and keep it as s onie thi whioh neither Congress nor Radicalism i the inevitable freedman can deprive of trinsio value. Thia feeling is bring; speoie in a steady stream to the South i holding it here; but aa that specie rep sents the net profits of the producer rat! than the price of his produce, it will suffice to cause any embarrassing sti gency in tho Northern gold market, however, we were to demdhd gold or silt for the whole three and a half million ba of our Cotton, the paj er dollar would head-long down hill, and there would h panic in Mew York greater even in its tensity than that of twelve years ago. we cannot afford to ruin the North, eve we have the power? As there could not lasting prosperity for the North while South was in the dust, BO there would trouble, serious, trouble; in the Soutl the North were bankrupt. The two i tiona are more or less dependent the upon the other; und as we know that cc ia measured by a gold standard, and thal price in paper must inorfcaae in th? r cf the depreciation of the paper carrel wc can well afford to mind our own h ness and leave the problem of speoie j meats tc bs :.clvcd by ?u??e whom it i dot-ply concerns.

Uv Lipman Abbott, with dosigns by Dore, DoLarocho, Fenn and others. New York : Harptr & Brothers, 1869. Holmes' 'Book House, Charleston. Henry Ward Beecher must look to his laurels. The life of Christ which ho an? nounces is anticipated by a volume written very much in his style, und with a variety of contemporary allusion, such as tho sen? sationalist of the Plymouth Church can scarcely go beyond. Tho analogies to whioh Mr. Abbott resorts are oftentimes fanciful, for time does not repeat itself, neither does nature. The correspondence ho seeks to establish bctwoen the Jewish Commonwealth aud the American Republic fails in many particulars. His description of Galilee, as "the New England of Pales? tine," is singularly infelicitous; it is found? ed neither on the manners of the people, tho products of the ?oil, the climate, nor the geological formations, but simply upon tho f .ot that either is a rolling country with a Lebanon (a white mountain) range to the northward. Perhaps Mr. Abbott needs to bo reminded that tho Syrian Lebanon is white inside as well as outside ; it is a limestone formation, and BO has only a re? semblance in name to tho granite heights of New Hampshire. We are constrained also to object to tho rollicking spirit \a which our author ap? proaches so grave a Bubject as the life of the Redeemer. Without question he has made a popular book-full of information, of genial colloquy, of happy hite, of fasci? nating narratives. Thero is a freshness in the careless, crisp style, a picturesqueness io. the rapid sketchings and groupings of tho Evangelical history, aa American movement and hurry given to the qnict Oriental life, which entrances the reader ; but for our part, we would be better suitod by a stylo more reverent and solemn and tender. The illustrations arc for tho most part excellent, and add to the interest of tho volume. The republication, however, of some of tho plates, from Abbott's "Holy Land," would have been very serviceable We refer particularly to the plans of the principal historic districts. No LOVE LOST. A Romance of Travol. liv W. D. Howells, author of " Venetian Lifo," &c. Now York : G. P. Putnam & Son. Charles? ton : Fofrarties' Book Depository. Mr. Howells is so well known as a writer of graceful and delicate prose, that we have long felt that it was "on the cards" that he might some day glide into verse ; and just such verse as we have here, delicate, airy, tender, pathetic, musical. The poem is written in hexameters, and Mr. Howells manages that very difficult measure with grace and spirit, lt is very short, only fifty pages of largely printed letter-press Thc theme would have borne a little more elaboration. What Lhere is of it, however, is simply channing, and few who have read it once but will relrace their step-?. The "grt-up" of the volume inperfect, and the illustrations of unusual merit.

J To tho People of tuc Southern ?States t WHENfcTHE PURE MEDICINAL RK8TORATXVK, now so widely kno*u as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was introduced into tho world under tho endorsement of tour thousand leading members of tho medical protesslon wmi> twenty years ago, itu proprietor was well aware that lt could not wholly escapo th" penalty attached to all new and usofu preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invrst li with strongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to r?ndcr all attempts to pirate It diffi? cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to distin? guished chemists for analynis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having neon thus ascertained, sam? ples of the article were forward od to ten thousand physicians, includiug all tho lending practitioners in ttio United states, for purposes of ex] crlincnt. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report oi the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of tho most eminent medical men in | the Union pronely responded. Their opinions of Ihe article were unanimously favorable Such a preparation, thoy said, had lone been wanted by the profession, af no reliance could be placed on tho ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated* and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oi of juniper, wnich formed ono of tho principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with un unalloyed character of tho alcoholic ole mcnt, givo lt. in the csthnation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, tonic ariJf restorative. These satisfactory credentials irom professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of thc Schnapps, as one of the guarantee.- of its geuulno ue?8. Other precautions against fraud were i?lso adopted; a patent was obtained for Ihe article, the label was copyrighted, a facsimile of the proprietor's autograph signature was attached t-> each label and eovcr, his namo and that of the preparation were em? bossed ou the bottles, and the corks were scalod with his private seal. No article had evor been sold iu this country under tho uamc ot' Schnapps prior to tho introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851; and the label was dopositod, as his trade mark, in tho United States District Court for the Southorn District of Now York duriua that year. It might be supposed bj- persons unacquainted with the d,iring character of tho pirates who prey upon tho reputation ot'bonorable merchants by vend? ing deleterious trash under their name, that tho pro? tections so carefully thrown around thoso Schnapps would havq precluded the introductions and salo of counterfeits. They Beem, however, only to have stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. The trade mark ot th J proprietor balbeen stolen; the indorse? ment which hts Sohiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone recolved from the medical profession has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bottles have been imitated, bis advertisements para? phrased, his circulars Copiod, and woree than all, dishonorable retailors, alter disposing of the eonuino con touts of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most deleterious of all liquors, and thus made his name aud br md a covor for poison. 'I bo public, tho medical profesi?n and the sipk, for whom the Schiedam ^romatic Schnapps is pre? scribed ns a remedy, aro equally iutercste I with tho proprietor in thc detection and suppression of those nefarious practices. Tho genuine article, mauuiac lured at tl4' establishment of the ui-dertigued in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled tro m a barley of the finest quality, aud flavored with an essential oxtract of tho berry of the Italien ju lpc -, of unequalled pu? rity. By a process unknown in the pr?paration of any other liquor, it ia ireed from every acrimonious und corro.-ivcelomeut. X, Complaint* have been received norn the lendttu; physxians and families tn the southern States ol' the sale of cheap imitations' of tho Schiedam Aro malic Schnapps in thoso markets; and travellers who are in tho habit ol usine it as an Antidote to the baneful inUuenco of unwholesome river water, tes tify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed off upon tho unwary. The ngont? of tho undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, ami to forward to him the names of suebparties as they may ascer? tain to be engaged in the atrocious system of docep tiou, lu con 'lunion. Ibo^iudersigucd would say that he has produced, from under tho hands of the mo. distiuKUl-dioa men of science in America, proots un answerable of the purity and mediciual excel leuce of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; that he has expended many thousaud dollars In eur rounding it with guarantee* and safeguards, whioh ho designed should pro.cot the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that be has shown it to be thc only llquor?in tho world that can be uni termly depended upon as mud ult. rated ; tint he hos challenged investigation, analysis, comparison and experiment in all Its forms; and from every ordeal the preparation whi.b bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off triumphant He, therefore, feels ita duty he owes to bis fellow-citizens aeuorally, to tho medical profession and tho sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evl denotes of Identity, and he calls upon the press and the public to aid him in bis efforts to remedy so groat an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading physicians and chenistd of this city will prove to the reader that all goods sold by the under signe J aro all that they are repre ented to be. DDOLPHO WOLFE. I feel bound tn say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, and deserving ot medical patronage.
