-Whan Bishop Simpson presented a cane te

the General replied that he hoped ha should
" never have occasion te use the cane, but if ho
ever took it with him, he would probably for
- get it at tha first place ha want to.
-The New Orleans Cresoent says : "The
number of clerks out of employ in New Or?
leans now is very large, especially in the dry
goods lina. Half a dozen wore hired off the
streets the other day to work as waiters in one
of our hotels, glad to get something to do to
get their bread."
-Goueral Grant's administration is making a
deep Dent in the government. The Springfield
Republican says: "lt would be useless to deny
that the Presidential appointments are made
i and canvassed at Washington in a manner that
does net strengthen the new administration in
?the haar ts of tba people."
-The Se?ale Committee on Commerce, at
their maetiug on Thursday, considered the
nomination of Generai Longstreet as Surveyor
of the Port of New Orleans. Thb sentiments
of the oommittee were decidedly opposed to
confirmation of men who bore so prominent a
a part In the "rebellion." They decided to re?
port his name baok to the Senate for that body
to take such action in the case as they may
think proper. There will be strong opposition
made to his confirmation by Sou thorn senators

ral Hindman was assassinated by ono of his
fellow-conspirators. Three ot the party had
gone to Hindman's house for the purpose of
burning it, ha having proseauted tho negro
who was hung. One cf the number seoinsr
Hindman sitting at a window, levelled a mus?
ket at kim and fired, killing him. The others
becoming frightened fled, and abandoned the
plot te burn the town. Five of the nine have
been arrested and are in jail.
- -Fifty passengers from California and Ne?
vada, over the Union Pacific Railroad, publish
a letter in the Chicago Tribuna, io which they
complain bitterly of the treatment they re?
ceived from the managers of the road while ob
their journey. They say that although the
road was impassable several days befare they
parchas3d their tickets, yet they were left
without information of the fact. They also
state that unnecessary cruelty was practiced
upon the passengers at different points by
compelling them to occupy caboose oars, with;
out Are, and by forcing them to walk half a
- mile or more at various times, oarrying their
baggage, te change from one train to another.
-A dispatch from Cairo, 111., says as the
steamar Belle of Memphis stopped at Darnell's
landing, three men, named Darnell, got on
beard, armed with rifles, but looking in no'
way suspicions. They tdd the captain to land
at Island No. 10, as another party wished to
come en board there. 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. The Darnells
t then weat on shore and called to the captain to
?., take good oars of Mrs. ?Lane, aa she had been
pactably raised. The causa ot the difficulty
s not known,
t.'. -There is an undeniable satisfaction in see?
ing a biter bit. A young man has just been
arrested in New York for a curious kind Of
fraud which will open an interesting question
for the coarta. Ha sent to various parties a
... carefully worded latter which would lead the
recipients to behave that for iva dollars,-or
OT tititeen if they preferred to send so much,
1 . they might obtain fire hundred dollars in eoun
,,?'. torfoit greenbacks. He really promised no
such thing, and these who were criminal

ceived photographic copies of the notes circu
.lated wi th the permission of the government
ru and ou*ale every where for ten cents each, the
" terna ortho promise being exactly fulfilled

-The sel?grapn','told us something about
the revolt :at the Sing Sing prison. 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. The shares are twenty-five
dollars each, only five dollars being called
for at the time of subscribing. This places
the shares within the reach of nearly every
one, and the whole amount of capital re?
quired should be speedily subscribed.

UNPARALLELED SUCCESS!
THIS ASSOCIATION "WAS ORGANIZED ON THE
22d of June last, on'y nine months ago, and has al?
ready secured an annual revenue from premiums on
existing policies of nearly $500,000 (Five Hun?
dred Thousand Dollars). Its new business for tin
month ef December was $72.383 36, insuring thc
amount of $1,197,000. Its new business for flu
month of January was $86,524 71, insuring tin
amount of $1,619,000.
One month's business being greater than that don
by the largest and wealthiest Life Insurance Compa
nies in the United Slates during the entire nrsi
y eur of their existence.
The Association was first started hy the mos
wealthy and influential citizens of St, Lonig, fa
the purpose of changing the current of Life Insui
ance and Life Insurance capital from the East t
the West and South, andas its plan is liberal sat
just to every section, State and district, the wealth;
man of the West and Sou h generally are insulin
their lives in it, to tho exclusion of other compaaiei
This is shown by the fact that the policies icsue
during the months of December and January are i
an averange amount of $7 868 42, drawing an avo|
age annual premium of $418 20.
The largest average attained by asy other comps"
ny in ibe United States is about $40t0 to each poj
cy, while the average size of all policies existing :
this country is only about $2506.
These facts speak for themselves, and show thl
the busines i msn of the country, who have moue!
to invest, select tu ia Association in preference to a|
other institutions.
A Branch or Department is about to be establish^
