Again and again tho caps of the Union soldiers were thrown np in huzzas of admiration at the in? trepid conduct of his corps around him. Again and again his command would reform under the severest fire, and return to the oharge as systematically as though manoeuvring on a driU ground." . -The Bishop of Now Jersey, it is said, has given notice that he will refuse at confirmation to lay his hands upon the piles Of false hair and chignons whioh disguise the beads of so many young ladies seeking admission to the church and communion. The laying on of sacred hands at the altar upon so much rub? bish gathered from the four corners of the earth, instead of the genuine natural hair or head, is deemed an offence to the law and gos? pel of the church. The monarchy for Spain seems now to be the settled determination of at least the tem? 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 an ministers in power, and now we see by cable telegram that in the Cortea, on Tues? day, General Prim, Minister of War, announced to the deliberative body that the monarchists were prepared with their candidate for the throne, and that his name would soon be made public. -Lucias J. Dapre, a prominent oitizen of Louisiana, died in Opelousas, La., on the 5th instant. He was a prominent member of the Secession Convention Of 1861. When the war broke out he enlisted a? a private in the 18th Louisiana, nader Colonel Mont?n, and whilst serving in the ranks was elected to the Con? federate Congress from the Opelousas Dis ttiot. In Congress he waa an able member, and nerved until the downfall of the Confeder? acy, when he returned to Opelousas and re? sumed his duties as a lawyer and a citizen. Mr. Dupre enjoyed an unusual popularity and respect throughout southwestern Louisiana. -The Chicagonese TflaVe reason to look for? ward to a pretty healthy growth, but a recent estimate put forward by the exuberant Chica? go press excites some comment among the envi?os rival villages, of St. Louis and New York. This estimate of forty per cent, in? crease will give Chicago in the year 1900 forty nine millions of people, and, aa the total popu? lation of the country inoreasea only at .be rate of t'ireo per cent, a year, in 1900 half of the 100,000,000 will live in Chicago, and before another century passes by, everybody, includ? ing the consumptives, will live in that cits; or, more likely, the United States will be called Chicago. -A Washington letter, speaking of the new postmistress for Richmond, Ya., says : "Gen? eral Grant says Mrs. Yan Lew lost all the pro? perty she possessed, and ran the risk of losing her lifo in behalf of the Union oanse during the rebellion. She resided in Riobmond while the Federal army waa besieging that city, and frequently furnished most valuable informa? tion to General Grant relative to the forces, positions, ko., of the Confederates, including diagrams and valuable documents, whioh were conveyed to the Union army by Mrs. Yan Lew's two male slaves, in whose clothes were sewed up the communications intended for General Grant. In tais way she lost her slaves, they remaining on the Union side, and of course being tree." -The latest report from Washington is, that the administration has, upon doe considera? tion, oome to a conclusion identical with the opinion expressed by Senator Edmunds, Hat there is no impediment in tho way of sending nominations to the Senate, whether for vacan? cies or removals; that the Tennre-of-office law is only operative during a rooess of Congress, when the President cannot remove but may suspend an officer, and the latter can only be done for cause. But it is the opinion ot Cabi? net officers and sound lawyers generally that tho President may in effect remove officers during a session of Congress by sending the nominations of a successor to the Senate and the latter confirming the same. This being the case, the President oan proceed to nomi? nate whenever hs pleases, without restraint. -Some amusement waa created by a scene which occurred in the Senate on Tuesday, jost after the adjournment of Congress. Mr. Sum? ner waa engaged in earnest conversation with a friend, when a young African, dressed in the height of fashion, accompanied by two females of the same 'Tace and color," gorgeous in feath? ers and silks, approached, and, touohing Mr. Sumner on the should?, claimod acquaintance, and immediately presented his female friends to the great champion of their race. The dam? sels were delighted to see Mr. Sumner, and each took a hand and settled themselves for a little talk over matters and things. Mr. Sum? ner did not seem, however, to appreciate their attention, and, with the beat grace fae could command, withdrew his hands, and, turning lils hack, resumed the conversation whioh bad been interrupted. The party were not pleased at their r?ception, and one of the ladies re? marked: "Well, I didn't think be would be so cool after all bis beautiful talk about us; but white man is very unoertaio." -The Washington correspondent o? the Baltimore Bun writes on Wednesday evening : "(louerai Butler continues his efforts in be? half of Joubert, the colored man, who desires the position of assessor of internal revenue at New Orleans. The object of General Butler is to induce the administration, in this case, to make a practical tost of the professed friend? ship on the part of the Republican party for the negro citizens. Joubert, however, is not, by some, considered a fair type of the negro race upon whom to make the test in the distribution of officiai patronage. Joubert bas no outward inchoation of Aliican descent; be is as white as Genoral Butler himself; is immensely wealthy, and has had a Parisian education, and is withal a bigh-toned; accom? plished gentleman. The negro dodge in this case is far-fetched; but it is likoly to prove successful, for Joubert's friends give out that the President and Becfotary of the Treasury have signified their willingness to appoint him' Mr. Wolfley, the present inoumhdnt of the of? fice that Joubert seeks, is earnestly sustained by General Sherman and Senator Sherman. He has a good war record, and there are no oharges on the file fnrniebing Krounds for his removal, and his friends believe he will be retained." ~~ CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, MARCH 20, 1868. No Jateearrectioni for S o nt H C ?relima. We have shawn in a previous article hew little truth there is in the assertion made by the Westminster Review, that throughout this State "abject and irrecoverable pov "erty reigns." We now take np the asser? tion made in the hook under review-that "South Carolina 'is utterly and helplessly "orushed." As a general proposition it will, we pre? sume, be admitted, that the prosperity of a oountry depends upon its natural advan? tages and resources, and upon the charac? ter of its people; it being oonoeded that healthiness of olimate, fertility sf soil, abundant mineral.Wealth and a command? ing position on the highways of osmmeroe, are only valuable in proportion to the skill, energy and perseverance With which the soil is cultivated, with which the hidden mineral is brought to light, and with which the current of trade is made profitable and advantageous. And in oonneotion with this there will arise the consideration whether there is anything in the political or social oondition of the people which should pre? vent them from reaping the abundant har? vest of sucoess whioh our Great Mother offers to all her faithful servitors. The whole subj oct, then, has these three gene? ral divisions. 1. Our natural advantages and resources. 2. The oharaoter of our people. 8. Our political and social oon? dition. li The natural advantages of South Car? olina. This State has seven climatic divi? sions. 1st. The sea islands. 2d. The tide? water region. 3d. The belt of about fifty miles between the tide-swamp and the sand hills of the upper oountry. 4th. The sand hill belt of about thirty miles. 5th. The olay belt of about twenty miles. 6 th. The granite belt of ninety miles. 7th. The mountains. Without attempting a detailed description of these different seotions, we may say that, in addition to th? well known long staple cotton, there may be produced on the sea islands oom and wheat in abundanoe, while nearly every semi-tropical fruit will grow there luxuriously. Olives, oranges, bananas, thcE sp?rto grass, ramie, all may be grown ctn the sea islands, and there is no reason why there should not also be seen nooka of sheep and droves of portly oattle. In the tide-water region the cultivation of rios is carried on with great success, and it may be mentioned htre that rioe is now again being raised in the inland distrlots, it being found that the grains are larger than those of the tide-swamps, although the yield to the acre is much smaller. Throughout the upper seotions of the State the short staple ootton is the principal crop, but tobacoo and indigo may be cultivated to advantage. In certain seotions the grape is grown in abun? dance, and the peaohes of the State are too well known to need our praise. Generally it may be said that there is ao valuabU plant, fruit or vegetable whioh cannot bt profitably produced in South Carolina. Nor have we any reason to avoid speakin j of eur minerals. We have gold in Spartan burg and other districts in consideraba quantities, and we learn that in the fifteei months preceding June 1,1858, the mines o Mr. Wm. Dorn, in Abbeville and Edgefieh Districts, yielded gold of the value of $800, OOO. But, more important than geld, we hav< iron of fine quality and lead in abundanoe Besides this, we have the kaolin olay anc bnhr stones finer than those import?e at heavy cost from Franoe. And last an most important of our subterraneous tress ures, are the bone deposits or phosphat beds whioh spread over many miles of ooun try. One company alone own** 20,000 aore of these lands, and similar land in Englan has been let for two thousand dollars I gold per annum. It is the South Carolin phosphates whioh are expeoted to take tb place of foreign guanos, when the suppl of these shall fail, or when their prioe sha put them beyond the reaoh ef the ordinal consumer. Several companies are airead engaged in mining the phosphate rook as preparing it for consumption. Its reputi tion is spreading rapidly, and tens of thoi sands of tons have found a ready mark? And there is nothing in our climate whit should make onr fruits, our plants, 01 ootton and rise, our minerals and our pho phates, extremely difficult to work er pf pare for sale. Aooording to the census 1860, the deaths per cent, in South Cai lina were 1.41, against 2.06 in Arkanst 1.45 in Kentuoky, 1.76 in Louisiana, 1 in Massachusetts, 1.85 in Gonheotiout ai 1 22 in New York, this ls tbs general j centago; bot in Charleston, the princlj city in the State, the deaths are much le for th? tables of mortality show that t deaths per cent, in this city are less th ia either of th? principal cities of Euro] or, with bat two or three exceptions, either of the Northern and Eastern Stat Without, thoa, making any exeggoral statement, wo may say that wo hov? v natural reeouroes, and that there ii notai in the climate to prevent thoHO resources from being turned to the best account. But, beyond this, we may speak with pleasure of our system of internal oommu nioation-, for South Carolina, which built the first long line of railroad ia theUuited 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, whioh, with the Northeastern Railroad, completes the direct seacoast line of railroad travel from Portland, Maine, to the Gulf, will bo opened throughout in less than tvvolvo months. And this 1? not alL Charleston, the metropolis of South Caro? lina, is one of the finest seaports on the Atlantio coast. From her wharves can be seen the broad billows of the ocean. 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 taousaau bales of cotton. Charleston is the,natural outlet for the trade of the West, and when the Southern Pacific Railroad is built-and it will be built I-tho commerce of the Indies and of the Paoifio coast will flew to Charleston, there to pass, not to New Tork, but direotly 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 oars was a des? perate condition when the war came to an end. But, as we hare 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 ootton, rice, oom and other products to the value of at least twenty-fire million of dollars. This ia the best proof that can be given of the manhood and in? dustry of the people of the State. Who, thinking of these things, of what satare has done for us, and of the change in our prospects wrought by four years of work, will venture to say that South Caro? lina ia utterly and helplessly or uah ed ? The day of her new birth has oome, eaoh month adds to her strength, and in another deoade she will be touohing a height of good fortune of which her people scarcely dream, but whioh is a oertainty, a fixed fact, in the minds of those who know this State and this people. Thc Condition of the State. We published, yesterday, a report of an Interview had with President Grant on Tuesday last by the Han. J. P. Reed and Hon. W. D. Simpson, of this State, mem? bers of Congress eleot. The paper whioh was read by Mr. Reed fairly expresses the views and opinions of the Demooraoy of South Carolina, and has oar approval. We do net desire to see any factious opposition to the new administration, and while we have no faith in either General Grant or his Cabinet, we are ready to give "a hearty sup port to all such measures of the adminis? tration aa will in our judgment tend te de? velops the resources and promote the in? terests of a common country." To the following paragraph from the pa? ser read by Mr. Reed, we call particular tttention, as it confirms what we have tgain and again declared, and what is farther still confirmed by the important looument, published by us this morning, in which men of high rank and of all shades >f opinion unite in dedaring that inveet nenta are as saf? here and will be as profit tble as in any part of the country. Mr. Read said: "The condition of the people 'of South Carolina socially ie and has been 'one of profound peace, and aside from a few 'isolated acts of personal violenoethat have 'occasionally been committed in different 'parts of the State, each as are unfor? tunately of two common occurrence 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 violence." We may add, upon good authority, that General Grant received Mr. Reed and Mr. Simpson very courteously, and spoke to hem with a oordial warmth, of whioh there ia no sign in the printed report of his reply.

Dear ?St'r-I have just received a communication [rom Ged. W. Q ra fill n, Esq., Treasurer of Patapsco 3 nan o Company, requesting my opinion of the "PA TAPFCO," to be sent direct te you-which I take pleasure in doing, as I fincsrely believo that it ts tho ?est fertilizer now in use. I have tested its merits fully, and Ind those who have used it alongside of ather popular fertilizers, do not hesitate to give lt the preference; lhere are as many kinds in use here ? there are merchants who deal in it. No two douses recommend the same kind, but during the last season I had a good opportunity of introducing the ''PATAPSCO" GUANO to some extent. I gave to ton (10) different planters 590 pounds 3UANO to put eaoh on one acre of land, and agreed to lake part of the product for pay. They all succeeded ireh. I got nearly 100 per cont, profit from the ten '.cres, and the planters aro satisfied that they got 50 to lao i er cent more than they could have expected m the same land without the GUANO. I also sold small quantities to some twenty or thirty planters, who tried lt on all sorta of land. Some of them :erUfy to wonderful results, and every one of them have engaged to take more for the coming season, expect to sell ten times the amount walch was taken last season. I began In 1867, and have not heard one man say lt did not over-pay him for his outlay. In some re? spects lt ut nat be superior to the Peruvian Guano. For instance, you can mix the, seed with the PATAPS? CO, and the Peruvian must bo covered before plant lng. The "PATAPSCO" acta at once upon the sprouts, is soon aa lt comes from the seed, and makes it start right off growing, and prevents the sickly stage ?iiioh cotton, without the stimulus, has to go through-you know thi?. For two or three weeks Ibo cotton plant ls in a condition which is so pre? carious that no planter can say that he has a certain itand I believe the "PATAPSCO" secures a better md more healthy stand than can be had by tbe ap? plication of any other fertilizer. I speak from ex? perimenta made for two years. I have planted a Ut? ile cotton for the purpose of watching the result, md am sure that rolling the seed in PATAPSCO GrOANo will secure an early and heartily stand of cot? ton, which is like getting a good start in any kind of race. I would recommend 260 to 899 pounds to the sore. 1 made 609 pounds lint from one aero by planting 600 pounds of "PATAPSCO," which made 260 pounds the rear before without lt, and the season of 1867 was setter for cotton than 1868. Tho same field on the part not fertilized made more in 1867 than in '98. think it woul J pay best, however, for about SOO pounds to the acre. Respectfully, (Signed) JAMES PAGAN.
