Thb sentiments of the oommittee were decidedly opposed to confirmation of men who bore so prominent a a part In the "rebellion."

There will be strong opposition made to his confirmation by Sou thorn senators as well as some from the North. -A negro in tho Helena, Arkansan, jail has confessed to being ene of nine negroes who formed a conspiracy to burs that town in Sep? tember last, in order to avengo the hanging of a negro for rape, rle also confesses that Gene? ral Hindman was assassinated by ono of his fellow-conspirators.

As the boat landed at Island No. 10, three mea by tho name of Lane, appeared on the hank, and one came on board with his rifle. As he started up stairs he was shot dead by the Darnells, who then ran back to the oabin deck and shot the two Lanes dead ' who were standing on the shore.

It seems thal in accordance. ? with, tho usual custom several convicts were tafk?n from their cells at an early hour to prepare break fast. With one .,, keeper in ad van co, tho party passed peaceably through the chapel, but when about to descend { / tho stairs, a convict cteitght tho keeper around the neck, and the rest of f&B~ party gathering J around him, push- d him down, and each hold I ir-g a different per ti on cf his hedy, a gag was ?' placed in his mouth. The man tried to give 'j some alarm, cry mg " Lo t mo go !" but an omi? nous warning was given him. Asking that his prop?rty might not he taken away, he submit? ted tb the gag operation. After having accom , pushed their purpose, placing him in their arms, they carried him ?lown the stairs and laid him on a molasses box in the mesa room, and left tbe room. The whole pa?|y afterward descended the stairs, where they were reinforced, and tho night keeper, who was in the room awaiting their ar? rival, was immediately attacked and gagged. Then with all haste each of the party, one after thc .-.nether, climbed to the, top of tu? boiler, which enabled them to reach a platform on the upper floor, rrocoeding along the platform, they forcod the door of tho dr> ing-room, and a hole having boen prepared the day previoue by ono of the priBonore, with little difficulty they forced an egress through the slate roof. After reaching tho roof, ono of them ran along it to watch for tho guards, and when the last man had reached the top, they descended to tho ground on the river side. Remaining around tho station for a timo, daylight was the signal to put for the woods. They aocordingly separated, three going down the river and two wending their way towards the north. lu the meantime tho first keeper had released himself and given the alarm. The. night keeper was found on the stairs dead, having been strangled by the gag placed in his mouth. Pursuit was made and the runaways were soon j recaptured and taken to their oldquartare. , CHARL EST ON. TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 23, 1860. A State Agrleulttaral Society. As long as each one of our planters and farmers has no other test than his personal experience by whioh to determine hew muoh of the old agricultural By o to m of the State should be retained and how muoh thrown aside, there can be no certainty of so using free negro labor as to make it at onoe profitable to the land owner and ad? vantageous to the laborer whom he employs. A careful perusal of standard agricultural journals will do much to supply the want; but ne magazine con talk to its readers as one planter in South Oarolina would talk to another, and no mere reading will teaoh the farmer as muoh as he oould learn in a few hours from men who are working under oonditions similar to his own, who have the same annoyances and troubles to contend with, who cultivate the same staples, and who work with the same kind of labor. The farmer or planter should be able to meet the principal farmers and planters in his district several times in the course of a year. He should meet them, not by acci? dent, net fer a ohat at the crossroads; but to discuss what is doing and what has been done, se that the brittle twigs of personal knowledge may be bound up into the'strong bundle of general observation and exp?ri? ence. These truths are too evident to re? quire any detailed demonstration, and that they are now recognised is shown by the interest whioh is being taken in the forma? tion of formers' clubs and agricultural so? cieties. In nearly every one of the upper distriots old societies are being revived or new'ones formed, and we notice that in Abbeville an agricultural sooiety has been permanently organized* We hope that the movement will oontinue until there is such a sooiety in operation in each district, in the low country as well as in the up-country; and we may add that we cannot too highly com? mend the evident determination to keep these industrial and strictly practical soci? eties altogether separate from any politisai association. Cotton, corn and riee have no political likes or dislikes, and the Radical hoe is as useful in its way as the Demo? cratic plough. When the district agricultural societies are established we shall have mads the first step towards improving our farming and planting system. But we must net step there. We should also have a State sooi? ety, whioh would, we believe, prove to be still more powerful for geed than the local societies, because at ita annual meetinr an expression weald be given to the practical experience of the whole State during an entire year. We have no knowledge yet sf the magnitude ef our resources, or of the vast wealth ef eur State. New articles of pro? duce are brought to our attention *fv'?ry day. Changes in the treatment of the soi: and in the working of crops are constantly advised. Suggestions are made that we should abandon some particular crop and take another whioh will pay better and be more sure. No one of these propositions oan be decided or its value known, within a reasonable time, exoept through the me? dium of the Agricultural Sooiety of the State. Suoh a sooiety would also encour? age eur farmers to improve the quality of their prodnoe and the character of their ?took, and, making them familiar with the most improved kinds of agricultural imple? ments, would teach them how labor might be economized and time and money saved. We are not prepared to advise that an attempt should be made to form the State sooiety until the dittriot societies are per? manently organized. To this our first efforts should be direoted, and we trait that the Stats press, se alive to ali sensible and practical questions, will continue the good work they have begun, and net abandon it while there is any district without ita local sooiety. When the district societies are formed it will not be difficult for any reas? onable number of them to issue a call for the meeting of a State convention for the organisation of the State dub. Ia the meanwhile, we request the secre? taries of all the farmers' clubs or agricultu? ral societies now in operation to ?end us the names of their officers and a oopy of their mles, and we make the samo request in regard to all other similar societies that may hereafter be formed. We wish to give the people all the information we can upon this important subjeot, and willbeartily co-operate with our contemporaries ia An? derson, Abbeville and elsewhere, in press? ing forward a movement which may be made to produoe the most beneficial and profitable results. THM FOUOWIHO extraot from Ans ted's Treatise on Practioal Geology, published in London in 1865, explains the referenoe made by ua to the value of English phos? phate lands : "The phophate beds of Cam abridge have yielded employment to a vast "number of persons and have acquired ex "treme importance. Where the deposit is "thick and the quality good, (he land oon "talnlsg the bed has, In some eases, been "let for as mash as 4400 per acre, the les? see making good the eurfaoe after the "phesphatic nodales are removed." We understand this to mean that the 4400 per acre is the absolute purchase money of the phosphatio noc?ales contained in the acre rented, the land, less the nodules, being returned to the lessor when the no? dules have boen removed. Tlae Theatre av Fixed Fact. We are informed that Mr. Chadwick has positively tl o term i ne? to convert thc A ?igor Building, of which he is the proprietor, into a theatre and opera house, after the style of the French Theatre in Mew York, so well known as the scene of the first tri? umph of Opera Bouffe in America. If Mr. Chadwiok suooeeds in making the necessary agreement with one of his tenants I he will begin work in May, and have the opera house ready to bo opened in Oetober. If the expected arrangement cannot be made, work will be begun in October, and the new building opened, if possible, in December or January. This information is given to us by Mr. Julius L. Moses, of this oity, the agent of Mr. Chadwick ; and we are assured that tho building of a cv'miaodious and handsome opera house is so far a fixed faot that the inaugural performances, under the mest unfavorable circumstances, will take plaee early next year. IN PRINTING a letter from Mr. J. Abney, of Edgefield, in relation to the discharge, en their own recognizance, of two colored men charged with and. tried for murder, we may be permitted te say that if the in? nocence of the accused was so clear and evident, as it is said by Mr. Abney to have been, it is at least somewhat strange that, as stated by himself, only six of the twelve acute and intelligent jurymen should have been in favor Of an acquittal. And we may add that we see no reason to change our previous opinion, that the discharge of tho prisoners, in such a way as to give no secu? rity for their reappearance, was as unwise as we believe it to be unprecedented. THU SUBSCRIPTION BOOKS of the Home Insurance Company, of Charleston, are now open at the ofue of Mr. A. L. Tobias, No. 109 East Bay. This is a home institution, and has connected with it gentlemen whose sagaoity and experience should make suc? cess certain.
