Again and again the cans of the Union soldiers were thrown up in huzzas of admiration at the in? trepid conduct of his corps around him. Again and again his command would reform under the severest dre, and return lo the charge as systematically as though manoeuvring on a J drill ground." -The Bishop of New Jersey, it is said, has given notice that he will refuse at confirmation 11 to lay his hands upon the piles of false hair I and chignons which disguise the beads of so many young ladies seeking admission to the j , church and communion. The laying on of , 8aorei hands at tho altar upon so much rub- j bish gathered from the four corners of the j 1 earth, instead of the genuine natural hair or. I ' head, is deemed an offence to the law and gos- ] pel of the church. I < The monarchy for Spain seems now to be the settled determination of ac least the tem-1 , porary government of that country. Under , the monarchical influences of the provisional government of three the Constitutional Cortes was elected. The Cortes in turn made one of ; the three the chief of the State, and continued ' others as ministers in power, and now we see by cable telegram that in the Cortes, on Tues- ' day, General Pi im, Minister of War, announced 11 to the deliberative body that the monarchists were prepared with their candidate for the ( throne, and that bis name would soon be made j. public -Lucius J. Dupre, a prominent citizen of ' Louisiana, died in Opelousas, La., on the ?th i instant. He was a prominent member of the : Secession Convention of 1861. When the war i broke out ho CD hated as a private in the 18th . Louisiana, under Colonel Mont?n, and whilst serving in the ranks was elected to the Con? federate Congress from the Opelousas Dis? trict. In Congress he was an able member, end served until the downfall of the Confeder- I acy,. when he returned to Opelousas and re sumed his duties as s, lawyer and a citizen. Mr. D apre enjoyed an unusual popularity and j respect throughout southwestern Louisiana. I, -The Obicagonese have reason to look for ward to a pretty healthy growth, but a recent j ' estimate put forward by the exuberant Chica- 1 go press exoites some comment among the 1 envious rival Tillases of St. Louis and New i York. This estimate of forty per cent, in- j crease will give Chicago ia> tho year 1900 forty- , nine millions of people, and, as the total popu? lation of the country increases only at .be rate of tiree per cent, a year, in 1900 half of the 100,000,000 will Uve in Chicago, and before another century passes by, everybody, includ? ing the consumptives, will live in that cit.v; or, more likely, the United States will be called Chicago. -A Washington letter, speaking of the new postmistress for Richmond, Va., says : "Gen? eral Grant says Mrs. Van Lew lost all the pro? perty she possessed, and ran the risk of losing her life in behalf of the Union cause during the rebellion. She resided in Richmond while tbe Federal army was besieging that city, and .frequently furnished most valuable informa? tion to General Grant relative io the forces, positions, Ste., of the Confederates, including diagrams and va'uable documents, which were conveyed to the Union army by Mrs. Van Lew's two male staves, in whose clothes were sewed up the communications intended for General Grant. In tais way she lost her slaves, they remaining on the Union tide, and of course being tree." -Tbelate8t report from Washington is, that thc administration has, upon duo considera? tion, come to a conclusion idontical with the opinion expressed by Senator Edmunds, th at j there is no impediment in thc way of sendincr nominations to the Senate, whether for vacan? cies or removals; that th? Tenure-of-offico law is only operativo durin? a recess o? Congress, when the President cannot remove but may I suspend an officer, aud the letter can ouly be done for cause. But it is the opinion ot Cabi? net officers and sound lawyers generally that the President may in effect remove officers during a session of Congress by sending thc nominations of a successor to thc Souate and the latter*confirming the same. This beincr tho case, tho President can proceed to nomi? nate whenever he pleases, without restraint. -Some amusement was created by a sccno which occurred in the Senate on Tuesday, just after the adjournment of Congress. Mr. 'Sum? ner was engaged iu earnest co ersatiou with a friend, when a young African, dressed in the height of fashion, accompanied by twe females of the samo "race and color," gorgeous in feath? ers and silks, approached, and, touching Mr. 8umneronthe snouldei, claimed acquaintance, and immediately presented his female friends to the grtat c'lprnpion of t'aeir race. The dam? sels were delighted to see Mr. Suivner, and each took a hand And settled themselves for a little talk over mattera and things. Mr. Sum? ner did cot aeem, however, to appreciate their attention, and, with tho best grace he could command, withdrew his hands, and, turning his back, resumed the conversation which had been interrupted. The party were not pleaa [ st their reception, and one of the ladies 1 marked: "Well, I didn't think he would be I cool after ali bis beautiful talk about us; t white man ia very uncertain.'' -The Washington correspondent of t Baltimore Sun writes on YTedaesday ovcniri "General Butler continues his efforts in t half of Joubert, tho colored man, who dea ir the position of assessor of internal revenue New Orleans. The object of General Butler to induce the administration, in this case, make a practical tost of the professed fr?en ship on the part ot the Republican party f tho negro citizens. Joubert, however, not, by some, considered a fair typo of t negro race upon whom to make the test in t distribution of official patronage. Joube has no outward indication of Ahican descei bo is as white as General Butler himself; immensely wealthy, and has had a Parisi; education, and is withal a high-toned, accoi plishod gentleman. The negro dodge in tb case is fu:-fetchod; but it is likely to pro successful, for Joubert'a friends give out th the President and Secretary of the Treasu: have signified their willingness to appoint hil Mr. Wolfloy, the present incumbent of the c fice that Joubert seeks, is earnestly sustaim by General Sherman and Smator Sherma He has a good war record, and there are J charges on the file furnishing grounds for b removal, and his friends believe he will 1 retained.11 CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, I860. ? JV o Resurrection for South Carolin?. We have shown in a previous article ho' little truth there is in the assertion mad by the Westminster Review, that through01 this State "abject and irrecoverable poi "erty reigns.'' We now take np the aseei tion made in the book under review-tba "South Carolina is utterly and helpless], "crushed." As a general proposition it will, we pre sume, be admitted, that the prosperity of i country depends upon its natural advan tages and resouroes, and upon the charac? ter of its people; it being ooneeded tha healthiness ol' climate, fertility of soil abundant mineral wealth and a command? ing position on the highways of commerce, are only valuable in proportion to the skill, energy and perseverance with which the Boil 10 cultivated, with which the hidden mineral is brought to light, and with which the current of trade is made profitable and advantageous. And in connection with this there will arise the consideration whether there is anything in the politioal or sooial oondition of the people whioh should pre? vent them from reaping the abundant har? vest of 8'ircess which our Great Mother sixers to all her faithful servitors. The whole subject, then, has these three gene? ral divisions. 1. Our natural advantages ind resouroes. 2. The character of our people. 3. Our political and sooial oon lition. 1. The natural advantages of South Car? bina. Thia State has seven climatic divi lionB. 1st. The sea islands. 2d. The tide? water region. 3d. The belt of about fifty mileB between the tide-swamp and the sand hills of the upper oountry. 4th. The sand hill belt of about thirty miles. 5th. The clay belt of about twenty miles. 6th. The granite belt of ninety miles. 7th. Tho mountains. Without attempting a detailed description of these different sections, we may say that, in addition to the well known long staple sotton, there may be produoed on the sea islands corn and wheat in abundance, while nearly every semi-tropical fruit will grow Lhere luxuriously. Olives, oranges, bananas, theE spart o grass, ramie, all may be grown on the sea islands, and there is no reason why there should not also be seen flocks of ?beep and droves of portly cattle. In the tide-water region the cultivation of rice is carried on with great success, and it may be mentioned here that rioe is now again being raised in the inland districts, it being Tound that the grains are larger than those uf the tide-swamps, although the yield to the aore is much smaller. Throughout the upper sections of the State tbe short staple cotton is the principal crop, but tobacco and indigo may be cultivated to advantage. In certain sections the grape is grown in abun? dance, and the peaches of the State are too well known to need our praise. Generally it may be said that there is no valuable plant, fruit or vegetable which cannot be profitably produced in South Carolina. Nor have we any reason to avoid speaking of our minerals. We have gold in Spartan burg and other districts in considerable quantities, and we learn that in the fifteen months preceding June 1, 1853, the mines of Mr. Wm. Dorn, in Abbeville and Edgefield Districts, yielded gold of the value of $300, 000. But, more important than gold, we have iron of fine quality and lead in abundance. Besides this, we have the kaolin clay and buhr stones finer than those imported at heavy cost from Franoe. And last and most important of our subterraneous treas? ures, are the bone deposits or phosphate beds which spread over many miles of coun? try. One company alone owns 20,000 acres of these lands, and similar land in England has been let for two thousand dollars in gold per annum. It is the South Carolina phosphates which are expected to tako the place of foreign guanos, when the supply of these shall fail, or when their price shall put them beyond the reach of the ordinary consumer. Several companies are already engaged in mining the phosphate rock and preparing it for consumption. Its reputa? tion is spreading rapidly, and tens of thou? sands of tons have found a ready market. And there is nothing in our climate which should make our fruits, our plants, our cotton and rice, our minerals and our phos? phates, extremely difficult to work or pre? pare for sale. According to the census of 1860, the deaths per cent, in South Caro? lina were 1.41, against 2.0? in Arkansas, 1.45 in Kentucky, 1.76 in Louisiana, 1 76 in Mapsachuaetts, 1.35 iu Connecticut and 1 22 in New York. This is the general per centage; but in Charleston, the principal city in the State, the deaths are much lees, for the tables of mortality show that the deaths per cent, in this city are Usa than in either of the principal cities of Europe, or, with but two or three exceptions, in either of the Northern and Eastern States. Without, then, making any exaggerated statement, we may say that we have vast natural resources, and that there is nothing in the climate to prevent those resources from being turned to the best account. But, beyond this, we may speak with pleasure of our system of internal commu? nication; for South Carolina, which built thc first long line of railroad in IheTJnited States, is now busily engaged in extending her railroad system and perfecting her commu? nications. The great Blue Ridge Railroad, the direct road to the West, is in a fair way of completion. The South Carolina Rail? road is bringing freight daily from St. Louis, Memphis, Mobile, Vicksburg and New Orleans. The Savannah and Charles? ton Railroad, which, with the Northeastern. Railroad, completes the direct seacoast line of railroad travel from Portland, Maine, to the> Oulf, will be opened throughout in less than twelve months! And this is not all. Charleston, the metropolis of South Caro? lina, is one of the finest seaports on thc Atlantio coast. From her wharves can be seen the broad billows of the ooean. Her harbor is open at all seasons, and upon her bar is a sufficient depth of water for vessels of the capacity of four thousand and five thousand bales of cotton. Charleston is th? natural outlet for the trade of the West, and when the Southern Pacific Railroad is built-and it will be built!-the commerce of the Indies and of the Pacific ooast will flow to Charleston, there to pass, not to New Tork, but directly to Bremen, Havre and Liverpool. In ten years' time this shall be accomplished. A few words now as to the character of | our people. No one will doubt that South Carolina was highly prosperous before the war; no one will doubt that ours was a des? perate condition when the war came to an end. But, as we have showed in a prece? ding article, the people were not daunted or cowed. They went at once to work, they worked hard, they kept on working, and notwithstanding the disturbing and danger? ous influences of party politics, they pro? duced last year cotton, rice, corn and other products to the value of at least twenty-five million of dollars. This ia thc best proof that can be given of the manhood and in? dustry of tho people of the State. Who, thinking of these things, of what nature bas done for us, and sf the change in our prospects wrought by four years of | work, will venture to say that South Caro? lina is utterly and helplessly crushed ? The day of her new birth has come, eaoh month adds te her strength, and in another iecade she will be touching a height of J good fortune of which her people scarcely lream, but which is a certainty, a fixed fact, in the minds of those who know this State and this people. Thc Condition or the State.. We published, yesterday, a report of an j nterview had with President Grant on Tuesday last by the Hon. J. P. Reed and Ion. W. D. Simpson, of this State, mem >ers of Congress elect. The paper which vas read by Mr. Reed fairly expresses the riewa and opinions of the Democracy of j South Carolina, and has our approval. We lo not desire to see any faotious opposition ,o the new administration, and while we lave no faith in either General Grant or his Jabinet, we are ready to give "a hearty sup sort to all such measures of the adminis ration as will in our judgment tend to de relope the resources and promote the in erests of a common country." To the following paragraph from the pa Der read by Mr. Reed, we call particular j tttention, as it confirms what we have tgain and again declared, and what is briber still confirmed by the important loeument, published by us this morning, in ?hieb, men of high rank and of all shades if opinion unite in declaring that invest aents are as safe here and will be as profit? able as in any part of the country. Mr. Read said: "The condition of the people 'of South Carolina socially is and has been 'one of profound peace, and aside from a few 'isolated acts of personal violence that have 'occasionally been committed in different 'parts of the State, such as are unfor? tunately of two common ccourrence in all 'sections of the Union, good order has pre 'vailed, and the laws, State''and Federal, ''enacted for their government by bodies in 'which they were unrepresented, have been 'respected obeyed and enforced without the 'slightest tendency to tumult or violenoe." We may add, upon good authority, that General Grant received Mr. Reed and Mr. Simpson very courteously, and spoke to hem with a cordial warmth, of which there s no sign in the printed report of his reply.

CHESTER, SOUTH CA?- LINA, Jan nary 6,1869. Dear Sir-I have Just received a communication from Geo. W. GrafBln, Esq., Treasurer of Patapsco Guano Com Dany, rcquoating my opinion of tho "PA? TAPSCO," to 'oe sent direct to yon-which I take pleasure in doing, as I ?increly believe that it ls the best fortilizer now in use. I have tested tts merits fully, and find those who have used it alongside of. other popular fertilizers, do not hesitate to Rive lt tbe preference; ?here are as many kinda in nse here as there are merchants wbo deal in it. No two houses recommend tho same kind, but dnrinz the last season I bad a good opportunity of introducing tho "PATAPSCO" GUANO to some extent. I pave to t>>n (10) different planters 509 pounds GUANO to put each on ono acre of land, and agreed to take part of the product for pay. They all succeeded well. I got nearly 100 per cent, profit from the ten acres, and tho plantera are satisQeu that they got 50 to 100 [ er cont, more than they could have expected en thc samo land without the GUANO. I also sold small quantities to some twenty or thirty plantera, who tried it on all sorts ?f land. Some of them certify to wonderful results, and evory ono of them bavs engaged to take mora for the coming season. I expect to sell ten limes the amount which was taken last season. I began In 1867, and have not heard one man say lt did not over-pay bim for his outlay. Ia some re? spects lt must bo superior to the Peruvian Guano. For instance, you can mix the seed with the FAXAPS co, and the Peruvian must be covered before plant lng. Ibe "PATArsco" acts at once ?pon the sprouts, as soon as lt comes from the soed, and makes it start rigkt oft growing, and prevents tbe sickly stage which cotton, without the stimulus, has to go through-you know this. For two or three weeks the cotton plant ls in- a condition which is eo-pre carious that no plantar can say that he has a certain stand I believe the "PATAPSCO" secares a Setter and more healthy stand than can be had by the ap? plication of any other fertilizer. I speak from ex? periments made for two years. I have planted a. lit? tle cotton for the purpose of watching the result, and am sard that soiling tho seed in PATAPSCO GUANO will secure an early and healthy stand of cot? ton, which is like getting a good start in any kind of race. I would recommend 250 to 300 pennds to the acre. I made 606 pounds lint from one ac re by planting SCO pounds of "PATAPSCO," which made 260 pounds the year beiore withont lt, and the season of 1867 was better for cotton ihan 1863. Tho some field on the part not fertilized made more in 1867 than in '68. I thins it wonl i pay best, however, for about SOO pounds to the acre. Respectfully, ($gneJ) JAMES PAGAN.
