Bales 4100 bales at 28j;t29c. -The Liverpool Cotton market oleaed with upland* at 12Jal2.'/1 ; Orleans 12|al2Jd; sales 15,000 balea. -A Yankee soap merchant has succeeded in extracting from Grant a letter of recommen? dation for his soap. -A chain-bolt has been put upon the White House door, at Washington, the more effec? tively to keep out office-seekers who won't take "no" tor an answer. -Ex-Presidoiit Johnson arrived at his old home in Greenville, Tenn., on Saturday, when he received a warm reception from his old neighbors. -A Canadian newspaper indi roo tly reports the depth ol snow there, by announcing that a traveller's horao was fatally injured by becom? ing ontangled with a telegraph wire twenty feet from the ground. -A Memphis paper says that a jury in that oily, having found a man guilty of murdering a citizen who ia alive and well, are now debat? ing whether to rescind their verdict or let the convict murder tho citizen. -The result of a careful search through Kew York city for a house, showed that in the entire apace included between MadiBou avenue and Sixth avonuo, from Fourteenth-Btreet up to Fifteenth-street, there woro very few houses of Which the rent was as low as $3000, and those were small and undesirable. -Cv jain Protestant Episcopalians in tho diocc: ; of Illinois have issued a protest against whatT : cry behove to bethe Romanizing ten? dencia of Bishop Whitehouse and others of his school. A convention of all who sympa? thize with this pretest is called to meet iu Chicago in June next, for discussion and con? sultation-. -Th* "two H's," Hancock and Hoffman, are proposed by Democrats for tho next Presiden? tial election. But the Montgomery (A.la.) Mail, on the other hand, suggests, "Let our motto, in anticipation of the next Presidential canvass, be, 'Patience, Prudence aud Pendleton. "' Tho question is, therefore, which is the better mot? to, "the two H'a" or "the three P's." -It appear a that the Missouri Legislature was in too bier a burry about the ratification of the suffrage amendment. Some one telegraph? ed thom the wronpr amendment, and they rati? fled ir ao that now thc work goi ? nothing, and the Legislature dooa noi roi .. .? ile until i<> x&S- ?

This was the case in which the defence waa that the promise of marriage with a pretty milliner could not be carried out because she Was of African descent. -Jacob Sorget, ninety-seven years old, died in Mew Yoik last week, and left a property val? ued at ten millions of dollars. He was a Creole Frenchman, but was born in the United States. He lived by rule, and was very abstemious, drinking nothing but water. He used to say that he bad a secret of longevity which ho bought of a gipsey woman when he waa a sail? or, and he thought he should live to be a hun? dred. For many years be spent his winters in Mississippi, but when the war broke out he ?ame- io New York, where he remained until he died. -The mammoth festival on Boston Common Booms to be no longer a problem, but an as? sured promise. Money, it is said, pours in by millions, and whatever the music may he, ibero is certain to be a mighty noise, and crowds of enthusiastic spectators, and a me? morable celebration altogether. The exercises are to be held in an iron amphitheatre, to be erected f ox the purpose. The festival proper will last about a week, but the building will stand for at (east a month, and be used during that time for monster concorta, oratorios, and similar decorous jollifications. The middle of June is the time fixed for the opening. -The later mails from Hayti bring the for mal document prepared by the leaders of tho insurrection there, placing the "rebel" Pro? visional Government and Hayti itself under the protection of the United States. This pa? per, soon after its adoptera hy the "rebel" Gov ? jrnment, fell into the hands ' of Sa?nate. It has just reached this country. It is a little singular that the insurrectionists were, until they offered this protectorate to the United States, bitterly opposed to the annexation of the island to this country, and denounced both Salnave and Baez for favoring annexation The Independence d'Hayti, the "rebel" organ declared that "the Haytien is prepared to bury himself undor the ruins of his country rather than lose his nationality!" A great thing is such a nationality to be buried for But even now the Haytien proposes to give it away. A great country is Hayti I -Fernaudo Po, where the prisoners of state in Cuba are to be conveyed, ls an island, forty four miles long and twenty miles broad, situat? ed on the west coast of Africa, in the Bight of Brura, ab ant twenty miles from the nearest point of the main land. Fernando Po is in latitude about three degrees thirty minutes north, is traversed by a mountain ridge, wbioh at Clarence Peak rises lo the height of 10,650 feet, or over two miles; is fertile, well watered and thickly wooded. It contains, ia a state of nature, large flocks of goats and sheep, and ?warms of monkeys of egreat sis 3, The climate, excessively hot at all times, bo comes intolerable during the rainy season when a pestilential wind blows from the conti jnent of Africa. The native population consista 'Of twelve thousand negroes, inhabiting fifteen villages. The English Government, between 1827 and IBM, mada an attempt to form colony, bot failed. In 1844, Spain again took possession' and established a penal settle mont. -A Washington telegram of Tuesday even lng, to the Baltimore tan, says: "Tko not that President Grant gav? way a Utile to tbe pres? sure to-day, and sent in a few nominations of :?OH?O import ance, is regarded by many as sig T ni?eanl of the early adoption by the President or a more moderate policy in relation to the oilico question. It has somehow become a matter of common report that the President and Seuate aro engaged in a serious quarrel, and tho faot bas been impressed upon tho President's mind by senators calling on bim. It was said to-day, upon good authority, that all such reports wore exaggerations of the faots. There is no ill-feeling displayed in the present controversy over the proposed repeal of the Civil Tenure bill, except what is exhibi? ted among the senators, and there is good reason to believe that a suspension of the law in question until the expiration of General Grant's term will meet hie approval. The President has decided, it is said, to send in nominations for vacancies that the welfare of the government service require should be filled." CH AR?ESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 26, 18?. A flc&d l? i?fce Fatvi?ar?. Tho New York Tribune devotes a leading artiole to a description of the route trav? ersed by the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific Railroad, and of the resources and charac? ter of the country through which it will pass. This is the road in favor of which resolutions have been adopted by the Legislature of the State. ? We do not know what may be the personal interests of the members of Congress from South Carolina, and whether the Northern or the Southern route, or either, will have their support; but we are sure that no measure can be found whoso adoption by Congress will bo more advantageous to the whole South and to this State than the rail road of which wo speak. Apart from the intrinsic merits of the projeot, which alone should secure its success, it must be re? membered that the South has a right to de? mand some consideration at the hands of Congress. Thia consideration we may ? ;laim, not as a matter of love or favor, but ? jecauso Southern cotton is fhe main prop >f the whole financial system of the United Hates; because the cotton bale alone stands iet ween the United States and something I ' rery like bankruptcy. ? We may not be in j i position to obtain at this moment all that ve require, and oontent ourselves now with irging Congress to pass the bill for the instruction of the Memphis, El Paso and I 'a ci fie Railroad-whioh strikes the Pacific I ioast at about the same latitude as Charles- r, on or Savannah on the Atlantic. Thc Tribune says : j "A Pacific railway that asks no money from ? Congress, that encounters no great mountains I 1 n its routo, and m liable to no interruptions I rom snows, ia a thing so different from our ireviorts experiences in that line as to de ?ervc the most respectful consideration. That I my practical Pacific railway deserves what- J ! iver encouragement we can afford is generally I ? jelieved. That the success of this one would I JO of special value in opening up vast tracts of I fertile land, not less than in knitting together remote regions of the republic, seems to us j j ilain. . And when it comes before Congress, I < taking little beyond the continuation of its old I irivileges and the right of way, the advantages I o be gained so for outweigh what is asked in return, aa to prompt at least very careful at- I tention. "The proposed road is no new thing. It was 1 ncorporatod by the State of Taxss nrinr tn I L861, and endowed with eight and one-third million acres of land. A hundred and fifty niles of it were under contract before the war; I lixty-five miles were ready for the rails; for I 1 if ty miles the iron had been purchased; a mil- I j ion and a half in all had been expended, when I 1 he war stopped everything at the South bnt I aising food and fighting. Now it ia proposed I 0 sate that million and a half, resume opera-1 j aliona as soon as Congress will assure the I ' ight of way, and presB forward the road, its I lomparativoly short route lies along the sooth- j i rm border of'the western half of our territo- I 7-Btre tching from the northeast corner of ! Cexas, through the whole breadth of that em-' I >ire in itself, resting midway between its op- I josito termini at El Paso, near the northwest- I urn corner pf Texas, on the Rio Grande de* I ?forte, and thence finding its easy passage brough Southern Arizona and California to ho bay of San Diego. It thins strikes the [ Pacific coast at about the same latitude as Charleston or Savannah on the Atlantic, and I sonnectB it with the Red River and the Missis- I lippi bj a route that opens the richest of our I jotton growing regions, and that never leaves I 1 climate where flowers can be found growing j in every month in the year. "A little over one-half of the entire length of I the road lies wi "?in the State of Texas. At Jefferson, the head of navigation on the Red River, it connects through Shreveport and ] Vicksburg, and through Little Rook and Mern- j phis, with our whole railroad system. From I Jefferson to El Paso, on the west Bide of Texas, tho length or its route is eight hundred miles; from El Paso through Arizona to tho Pacific is inly six hundred and fifty more. The first half, I >f this route is through a country bf surprising I fertility. Those rioh plains of Nor phar n Texas J ire capable of putting 50,000,000 bushels of wheat into market a month ahead- of the supply from any other State io the Union, or I of producing four times the amount of cotton hitherto furnished by the whole cotton grow? ing region of the United States. Immense beds of coal, iron and copper are found along this part of the lins, and lead and silver of groat richness are coming to light in the west? ern counties. El Paso, whioh is to bs the mid? way station on the line, ia the objective point for the Mexican railroads already 'chartered, and is destined tobe ah important interior city. From El Paso, through a strip of New Mexico and Arizona to Fort Yuma, at tho month of the Gila, the road keeps for the whole distance within the ordinary working grade of eighty feet, and within only a hundred feet when it passes the summit elevations, for a short dis? tance, between Fort Yuma and San Diego. Of this part of the line the Commissioner of the General Land Office, in bis report for 1968, says that "throughout this whole extent of 'country the romains of former cultivation 'and evidences of civilization are to be found, 'rains of ancient citiea>nd cathedrals existing 'in many places, while traces of former irriga - "ting oannls oojur in every direction, extend "ing oven into thc densest part of the forent." Fhe valleys produce wheat, oom, cotton and trapes, and along the southern line are now ?igh ly cultivated fields of grain and sugar cane, with apples, peaches, apricots, pomegranates, Kg*, grapes, lemons and orangos, in the s?me Karden. Westward from El Paso to the 112th meridian, the soil of the levels and the hills is Bverywhere good, and everywhere covered with a luxuriant growth of nutritious grass. Wherever there is water the whole regios has unsurpassed advantages for stock-raising in oharacter and quantity of the grasses, the mild winters, and the freedom from files and mue* luitoes. The abandoned towns and remains >f large grazing establishments, some of whioh ure said to haye had a hundred thousand head of cattle and horses, show what the capacities HE CHARLESTON DAI of the oountry are to support prosperous set? tlements, if thoy can bo proteotod from the Indians, and (bis has boon abundantly illus? trated since tho American occupation by tho rapid prosperity of those parts of the territory which have enjoyed protection. "From the Rio del Norta westward to the Lower Gila, tho traveller may so run his course as to pass entirely over plains-tho prairies of thia region-differing slightly in elevation, and generally 8000 to 4000 feet above the lovel of the ?ea. Water-generally to bo bad only In t*ie streams and the springs at the base of the mountains-can be obtained here by sinking wells at no great depth. In his last message to the Legislature of Arizona, Governor Mc? Cormick strongly sets out the fertility of these plains, and recommends that provision be made for procuring water by sinking wells, whioh he says will make this country blossom like the roso. West of the 112th meridian tho road lino crosses what is oalled the Colorado desert, by way of the Gila River, and thenoo from Fort Yuma to San Diego its course is through Southern California, which partakes here of the general character of that rich and beauti? ful State. The noble harbor of San Diego, which forms the Pacific terminas of this road, is second on the Pacific coast only to that of San Francisco. "Of the ultimate value of a railroad to tho Pacifie, on thia route, we have no doubt. Be? fore the war Congress had granted to the Memphis and El Paso Company valuable fran? chises. Now it asks little beyond right of way. Its managers embrace gentlemen of national reputation and undoubted capacity and respon? sibility; they arc cosfidont sf success, and the fact that they ask so little, while others have been asking so much, must' weigh heavily in their favor." _IJWtmUL _ WANTED IMMEDIATELY, A WHITE NURSE, who is also willing to make herself useful.
