A business letter from a well known Liver pool firm, under date of March 20, to W. M. Lawton, Esq., of tbls city, says : j We are in recept of your circular of the la', il area, which we have read with great in: er est. and for which we thank you. The course of t ie mat ket for sea isl a a de dar- 1 ing thelaBttew weeks has been very disap- y pointing to importers. I hero was an active . inquiry after the first arrivals at th- begin? ning of February, since which time there has 1 been but a small retail demand. Spinners have < not even inquired after the new arrivals, al- i though, we have no donbt, received the best of this season's small crop. Wc think three or ? four of the large consumers may have a stock 1 from their purchases or imports, bat the oth? ers must be very bare. So doubt the con sumption in Franco or England ti is bjen seri? ously curtailed; m this country ic is nearly limited to th? Manchester and Bollingen | < spinners, and two or three in Glasgow. The Bolton spinners, who consume largely of sea inlands when pricer are relative to Egyptian, | ' have almost gone off their ase. They have had the best crop of fine Egyptian to fall back ] j upon that has ever been produced, and they tell as that tho result of their sole nae of Egyptian this si aeon has been most Batisfac- 1 tory to themselves aud their customers, ] Even with tueBo cucumstanoes unfavorable j to sea islands wo think that there must, before long.be a dem in d for two hundred to two hundred and fifty bags per week. In the meantime the trifling business enables buyers I f lo flod hero and there a few lots much under the market quotations, which a steady de? mand would so m cloar off.

A sound and sensible Republican (not the Republican who lugs at Sumner's skirt and reveres thc shade of Stevens, but tho old-fash? ioned Republican who honors bis own coneti tution and resDecls the constitution of bis fathers,) hardly knows which to despise the most- monarch ?cal institutions or the British oyster ! Accustomed to tho dainty flavor of the Lynn Haven, tho Blue Point, the Bath, tho Mill Pond and other famous varieties, he turns up bis free and indopeodent noso at thc insu? lar egotism which places th J "native" oyster on a par with tho "native" Englishman. The tyrant-hating American may admit that they are ou a par, but a faux pas, which mars ali de? light, and have no par-ticular claim to distinc? tion save tho coppery taste of the ono and the brassy pride o? tho other. And he who ven? tures to doubt that tbo American bivalve is in? comparable and not tobo eurpas&ad, will be in ?anger of going to his bier without a pewter accompaniment. Verily! an oyster is an institution of which we may bo proud. It has no North, no bouth, no East, no West. There is nothing sectional tn an oyster, even on a half-shell; and now that the season is drawing to a close we may be pprmitted to hint that a company has been formed in Charleston for the purpose of im? proving and canning tho already well known Charleston oyster. But before narrating what the company ?B and what it intends to do, it will bo advisable to de /ote a few moments to a philosophical consideration of the habits and peculiarities of THE AMERICAN OYSTER, by that name usually called, the word oyster being understood to siguify tho species of os tracian bivalve called osirea edwis or ostrea eal il-i8, whioh ts characterized by an inequivalve shell composed of two irregular lamellated valves, of which the convex or under one ad? heres to rocks, piles, or to the sholl of another individual. The oyster, therefore, ls s qneer genii" As it make its bed it will he nj on it, being as much indisposed to "shell out'* as though it were a bifurcate instead of a bivalve. In its natural state the oyster is always light, and not until it becomes loose is it fit for human society. As may be inferred from what has been said, the oyster is a hard drinker, al? though never drunk. Oysters are usually eater, during the months the names of which have the letter R in them. The reason of this ?a not known unless it is because then oysters R in season. There are many ways of cooking j * (he oyster, and there is the raw, the fry, the | ' boil, the roast, the scallop and the stew. Some [ like them one way and some another, but they all go the same way al last. THE SADDLE BOCK is tho most famous of the American oysters, j ind ie found at Saddle Rook in Long Island c Sound. The rock is about forty miles from ( New York, and the oyster to which it gives a same is celebrated for both sizo and flavor. They bring a higher prie : than any other oys ?r which goes to tho New York market, often ^ lelling at wholesale at five dollars a hundred. t ^ ttazcii of tliest* oratora, roasted, rs san TO DO i mough to AU every corner in the corporosity fc >r a man of moderate size. THE SHREWSBURY S s the next in rank with the Now York epicures. 1 A is taken trou the Shrewsbury River in New ? Fersey, and eau be readily tecognized by its i >eculiar golden ti at and very thin sholl. The t lyster beds in the Shi owsbury River are closely ruarded, and yield an immense income to thc >wner. Shrewsburys sell at $12 a bushol. THE EAST RIVER fvas in former years considered to be the best >yster found in tho market. It had a salty ?ste and delicate flavor, and was considered -ho correct thing at luncheon. Of these a man )f elastic temperament might consume X-an roknown quantity. Of late years, owing to the radding of the great Manhattan Gasworks on I e :be banks of the East River, they have acquir- j i ii a coppery and gaseous taste. This causes bern to be sedulously avoided by all true Irish-1 g nen, but they are greater favorites than ever | s vi th public speakers and memDers of legisla? te assemblies. THE KEYPORT s a Virginia oyster, which at a tender ago is Aken from ita natural bed and planted in tho Etaritan River, chanting all the while tho ilaintive air of "Who will caro for mother low ?" It is allowed to remain iu its new home n peace fr two years, and is then a dish wor ;hy of Lucullus when be sups with Lucullus o-night. This oystor is sometimes known as ;he military oyster, because it will stand ure setter than any other kind, always cooking arger than in its natural state. It is there ore a decided swell. THE GRAVEN OR BLUE POINT rom the Passaic River is not to ba despised. The beds yield these Ano oysters in large quantities, and being so oloso to the New York narket, they are sold at from $1 to $125 per [ j rashel. THE BATH )ysier is small, but being firm and delicious in lavor is Bought after by the epicure, and al? ways brings a high price. Kathleen Villa, not be home of Kathleen Mavourneen, but of Barney Wilhams, tho well known irish corne? lian, is on the banks of the bay. and Barney mows no greater pleasure, when tho footlights iro turned down, than taking a fe v friends to ; lis charming villa, where they may be regaled '{ vi th the order of the Bat h-oysters taken from t ais own pond. * In the spring of 1863 a large bed of fine oys- J era was discovered between Fort Lafayette md the beach in New York harbor. Those I vere called the LAFAYETTES, ? ind soon became popular. The prisoners ol' ? var in ti s fort from their bunba looked at the c >eds with watery mouths and eager eyes. c They thought of Norfolk and Charleston and , ilobile, and thought and dre um od of oysters. These Union oysters, whose Union tho prison* c >ners desired to destroy, wore certainly-not * or Joel t Another largo bed was discovered in May J ast near Quu Island, East River. Hundreds j if vessels erowded to the ostracean El Dorado, a mt the owner of the island at oaco set up a I laiin to the whole. This led to a repetition of J he story of a THE LAWYERS AND THE OYSTER, t is the owner at onoe obtained an injunction to ? ?revent the picking of tho oysters. While tho ? :ASO was being tried in the Long Island conrta, e . ciptain, more 'cute than his companions, a rained a carrier pigeon to fly between the ^ >eds and the court. Aa soon as tho injunction t ras dissolved, the carrier flew to the vessel, a which in a shotttimo waslo.ded and on her d fray to market. The beda were 60on exhausted, y md little Gun Island left to its ancient quiet, ? . rae CONSUMPTION V >f oysters is usually limited by tho capacity b >f the consumer, but it is known that London ? :eually absorbs twenty thousand bushels year ly, and that New York e^enrlp r"ui:ua11y in the same amusement about five million of dollars. Charleston, of course, cannot equal this, al? though information has been received thal a well known Charlestonian went over to Sulli? van's Island not long ago and swallowed twen? ty-two dozen oysters at a sitting. At this rate md New York prices the Charleston consump? tion would equal that of Gotham. Tu i s leads us to the CHARLESTON OYSTERS, which arc not easily excelled. Tho mill pond oystor is a jewel in its way, and with proper care in planting and feeding would bo superior to any oyster known. Sullivan's Isl md and Kow Beach Inlet also send us largo quantities of ostraceans. There is no doubt, however, that these oysters could be greatly improved by care and attention before they are turned over to the chefs of ojster-cooking, of whom we have several in Charleston. The oysters should never be disturbed before November. They Lie in shallow water, and as tiley are ex? posed to the hot rays of the Bummer Bun they need cool weather to mike them ?rm and healty. In addition to the mill pond oyster we have tho Bull's Bay oyster, taken fiom deep water and replanted in Mount Pleasant Creek. This is the best cooking oyster that we have. It hos long been regrotted that there was no :ompany in Charleston whiih would make a anecial feature ot the oysto: ousinoss, and wo now announce with pleasure the formation of a Linn, which may be called THE CH4BLESTON OISTES COMPANY, which has based for fifteen years a largo irea of marsh land and water in the eastern pari of the city. The idea was first entertain? ed four years ago, but could not bo carried out until lately. Every first difficulty has boen overcome, and the company has been quietly it work for three or four vvoeks. Too scene of operations is bounded on the north by Spring street; on tho south by the continuation of Cai tionn-street; on the east JV President-street, ind on the west by the Ashley River, compris orising about forty acres. Hero tbe oysters will be planted, and in order to keep the ivators suffic .jtly still, the company intend lo build au extensive and substantial wall or break-water. All the necessary works and ouildings wdl be put up, and the company in :end to tum their attention to CANNING OYSTERS, i trade which in Baltimore is alreadyone of great importance. One firm alone in the Monumental Uity employs during the oyster season two run dr ed women in shelling and canning oye ters. (It may be noticed en passant that the i nest oysters that are found in the Baltimore md Washington markets aro from Lynn Haven Bay, about twelvo miles from Norfolk.) There s no reason why this canning business should lot be highly successful in Charleston. The ;ompany naa. we understand, pushing and en irgetic men at the head of ir, and may in time idd the canning of shrimps to its other pur mite, lo this and all else that they undertake ve wish them success.

Havoc of War-The True Condition of tbc Coast lt eg lon and an Interesting Review of the Canses of tnc Present Impoverishment of the Plani era in that fiction-T he Seasons and the Crops. A Charleston corespondent of the Baltimore Gazette, writing in the interest of tho Southern Educational Society, says : Ihe true condition of tho people of tho coast region of South Carolina is little known or ap? preciated, and should be brought plainly be?oi o those interested in sustaining this admirable institution. I therefore take this opportunity to enlarge upon tue topic and show how it bas been produced and what it nally is. Charleston is a planters' town. The influ? ence ol planters and those who sold then* crops has ever predominated in society and in busi? ness circles. The nee lands and the sea is? land cotton lands from Savannah to George? town, for thirty miles inland, were the rich? est and most valuable in tho St' 'e. The pro? prietors of these plantations, owning from one, two and three hundred negroes, to five hundred and even a thousand, bore the bur? den of taxation, and embodied, to a certain extent, the wealth and culture of South Car? lina. On the 7th November, 18C1, Port Royal and Hilton Head were attacked by a Federal fleet, lcd by tho Wabash, a wooden ship. lu consequence of previous neglect on tbe part of the authorities at Richmond, they fell, and during tbe remaining two and a half years ot' war peaco and quiet forsook this whole coast region. Ibo Confederate authorities forth? with abandoned tho soa islands and sought on tbomniu laud to confine the area of Federal operations, and to savo and hold Charles? ton. A line of defence wis established along the Savannah and Charleston Railroad. It ran through the ur^er portion of the tide swamp nco lands and Je t tho great body of these plantations in the debatable ground and picketed by Confederates. It was occupied in the winter of '61 and '62 by some 40,000 Confederate soldiers. Then: number was re? duce J iu tho spring. Bat from that time for? ward troops were moved from place to placo, and quartered throughout the country, and it was exhausted by requisitions of corn, rice, peas, pot a' oes, fodder, nay, straw, &c. Horses, mules, wagons, carts, cattle, hogs, sheep and po 11 try were a Ko taken. Houses were often occupied by cmcers, outbuildings sometimes pulled down to make barracks for soldiers, and fences used for Grewood. Waste and destruc? tion are inevitable concomitants of war, and in its immediate presence they riot. The sub? stance of the plant?is was either abandoned to the United States near the sea or consumed by the defenders of tbe s?il. Tbe inund?is of Federal puns were daily heard, tttacks of land forces were made, and expeditions by water along the numerous rivers penetrat? ing the coasc every few miles. The secret efforts of incendiary agents and spies among tho negroes created ana increased demoraliza? tion. Proprietors who kept their slaves on the coast made little, and ran the risk of losing them by abduction and desertion. Those who, in order to avoid this, bought or leased unoc? cupied places in tho upper country and moved their negroes, incurred great expense, planted only to obtain provisions, and paid heavily for the coveted but unsubstantial scour, tv. Under eitber arrangement the rieb plantations on tbe seaboard went to rain. Then came tho finish of tho n ir. What its,course had hitherto lott tba' was destructible, Sherman ic 1865 demol? ished. Dwelling bouses, overseers' houses, expensive atvam mills, barns, stables, cotton houses, corn-bouses ana fences wore given to the flames, and as a rulo uogro cabins alono survived the conflagration. The war closed with the confiscation of all tho property vested in slaves. Tue values placed in Couloderate bonds and currency were also dostroyed. Tue slocks of banks and rail? roads were worthless, tor the banks here had loaned thotr money and crodit to tho Confede? rate Government, and tho railroads were torn up and demolished. State and oity stocks, in ptanters were left with their p???ta'tious uni real estate as the only property they coui? look to. Sherman's notorious order No. SO, at tbe stroke ot the pe i. sought to set aside sud con hecate the lands from Savannah to Charleston, thirty miles from thc sea, for distribution among the fioodmen. And this authority, manipulated by "tbs Bureau of Freedmen and Abandoned Lands," increased the embarrass? ments of the proprietors. The plantations, when rescued from the gripe ot Howard, Saxton & Co., of the Burean, depended, for their uso and value, upon tbe labor. And this labor was systematically de? moralized. Not satisfied wi h tho inherent ideas of freedom to steal and to shoot, which took possession of the African minds, Bureau agents carefully implanted agrarian views. The lands, they said, wore bought with tho proceeds of tbe labor of slaves, and in justice belonged to them, and would be divided among the negroes. In proof, Sherman's order and the Burean existed. Forty acres and a mule were the promised and expected accompani? ments to the glorious immunity from work for tho nogro. The country here was bis, the white man was an intruder and a rebel, and work was an imposition. Thc negro's occupa? tion wua to squat on a patch of open land, and his ambition to sport a gun for killing and stealing purposes. Henea a lo.ig array of crimes-insubor filia? tion, robborios, outrages and murders-com? mitted by the negroes tn this region since the wur. ?'Ith plantations in tho condition described, the proprietors thus destitute of tho means of working them, and with the essential libor in this demoralized and unreliable condition, it was the necessity of planters to plant, if they c?uld obtain thc means. Ordinary sea i 3 and cotton brine i ng $1 50 a pouud, and nee selling at $14 and $15 per one hundred pounds in tho winter of 1865 aud I860, encouraged tho plautors and allured Northern capitalists. The needy proprietors staked their estates-their all; and the capitalists ven? tured the funds roqmr d. But money was ob? tained with great difficulty, often by long searching and at great cost, fifteen, twenty br thirty per cent., secured oy mortgages, or one half, ,one-third, or mo.*e of the crops, as in? ducement to plant on sharos, with liens on the whole to secure advances. After securing loans of moccy the next dif? ficulty was to contract with the demoralized hands in a way to snit their ideas of freedom and to get the required approval of tho Bu? reau, men utterly i sr nor ant of tho large amount of work needed to make Southern crops and ot the valuo of that work in tho final return?. Generally, plautors had to agree to exorbitant terms, which nothing but enor? mous prices for their produce and excellent ?eabons could possibly justify. Tbe season of 1866 in this region was charac? terized by a protracted drought, lasing tbxoogb July, August and September. The soa island colton crop suffered severely and was cut off-tho little that was planted-say from one-third to one-half. The rico crop was injured by want of puro fresh water and by the depredations of nee birds duran; tho har? vest, and turned out light, so that there was general aisappoiutmcnt in tho ytold. Aud the prices, instead ol' advancing, went down, and, contrary to all expectation, kept declining. But the olaiitersbad t > sell even at heavy losses. Tho so ison of 1867 was a very wei one. Frc qu2iit and heavy rains occurred inJuuo and again in September. The sea island cotton crops wero damaged i ti the curly summer and ?iiislied by caterpillars in thc fall. Thu crops of rice buffered hom froshot in J me and during the harvest, aud prices did not advauco mate? rially. The season of 1808 was very like that of 1867, much too wet, aud similar results followed. : hus three bad seasons in succession, with pric"9 ruling 1 >wor than was lookod for or can be accounted Jor, (except from tho buyers hav? ing tho market and tbe producers forced to sHI,) aro to be added to tho black hst ot calam? ities winch have oppressed the people of this co.ist country aud made flioir earnest and ex? traordinary efforts unfruitful and left them without moans.

But tbe condition of thc people hero, with tue exception ot speculators, brokers and lawyers, is much worse than it was when the war closed. This ie a plain, unvarnished statement of tno facts. Some w bia tlc to keep their courage up, and the press lubars to put tho best face upon matters to prevent public demoralization and despair, and to help credits and enterprise*.

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON. The Tenure-of-ofllce Compromlie-Set? tlement of the Matter in Congress Adoption of Conference Reporte In both Houses. The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Sun writes under date of Wednesday evening: Tue tenure-of-office matter, it is supposed, is now finally disposed of, both houses having agreed to the report of the committee of con? ference. From the chuckling of tho anti-re pealers it may be assumed that they are satis fled that they have aobieved a viotory, and it ii certa n. from the remarks let drop by Senator Trumbull, that the Senate bas not conceded much, if anything, in tho matter, although Mr, Bingham's explanation tn tbe House would se.-m to indicate the opposite. The knowing ones say that the Honse has been badly sold that all the supervisory power yet remains in tbe Senate, and from the alacrity with which all tho extreme members ofthat body hasten 1 ed to vote for tho roport, there would seem to be somo ground for the assertion. The bill will now goto the President for his signature, of which there is no doubt, and, even if the Houpe bas been entrapped, it is not likely that any groat fuss will bs made about it if it i agreeable to tbs Executive, who is the one to bo affected by it. Redistribution of the Currency-Infla ence of Massachusetts Predominant Notwithstanding the passage by the Senat ot the bill to iucroaso tbe circulating medium at the South and Wost by a corresponding eur tailment of it at the East (particularly New Encrland,) it is djubted in woll informed circles whether it will become a law.

The KranchUe at the South. About fifty Texan gentlemen appeared be- | t fore tbe Reconstruction Committee this morn ing. Governor Hamilton stated the case for the party, which asks to vote upon the new constitution, and discussed the equal rights and suffrage clauses. Some conversation arose bi tween tbe committee aud the speaker, as to the true moaning ot the disfranchisement sec tion, whioh is copied from tho new Constitu tion of South Carolina. Governor Hamilton contended that those only can vote who can hold office under the Fourteenth amendment that an interpretation being questioned, and the member from South Carolina having re marked that no one is now a disqualified voter in South Carolina, Governor Hamilton said, "If that be tbe interpretation, so much the bet? ter." General Butler said, 'That is explicit enough." Governor Hamilton thoa spoke against all disqualifications as a permanency. The further hearing waa then adjourned ontil Thursday. Gold Contracts. Tho Committee of Ways and Means have unanimously agteed to report a bill legalizing contracts made payable in gold. This Dill will bo substantially th? same as tho section stricken out of a bill last session in tho Senato, because Mr. Trumbull and others believed the late de? cisions of thc Supreme Court were all tb at were necessary in tho premises. The bill came back to the House, and upon a committee of contorenco heine appointed, that body also agreed to the striking of it ont. It will meet some opposition in tho Senate, but will go through tho House with little or no objection THE RAILWAY KINOS IN COUNCIL.-Several railway presidents and superintendents arriv? ed in tho city yesterday and are the guests of the Planters Hotel.
