ENGLISH VIEWS OF BEA ISLAND COTTON. A business letter from a well known Livor pool firm, under date of March 20, to W. M. Lawton, Esq., of thia city, says : We are in reoopt of your oiroular of theist, M ar oh. which wo have read with great inter? est, and for which we thank you. The oourso of t io matket for sea islands dur? ing tho last few weeks has been very diaap Khiting to importers. 1 here was an active juiry after the first arrivals at th? begin? ning* of February, since which time there has been but a ?mall retail demand. Spinners have not even inquired after the new arrivals, al? though, we have no doubt, received tho best of this season's small crop. We think three or four of the large consumera may bave a stock from their purchases or imports, but the oth? ers must be very bare. No doubt the con? sumption in France or England h is boen seri "Ously curtailed; in this country io is nearly limited to the Manches tor and Bol lin? ton spinners, and two or three in Glasgow. The Bolton spinners, wbo coi J au-no largely of sea ulanda wbon prices are relative to Egyptian, have almost gone off their ase. They have had the best crop of fine Egyptian to fall baok upon that has ever been produced, and they tell ns that the result of their solo use of Egyptian this season has boen most satisfac? tory to tbemsolveu and their customers, STSS v>itu tuva? c?icumstancos unfavorable to sea islands we think that thora mast, before long, be s demand for two hundrod to two hundred sud fifty b<gs per week. In tbe meantimo the trifling business enables buyers to find bore and tbero a few lots much uuder the market quotations, which a steady de? mand would soon olear off. EASTER CHURUM ELECTIONS.

A DISQUISITION ON ITS VAHEE TIES AND EXCELLENCIES. A Project for the ( ^titivation and Can? ning of Oyster? In Charleston. A sound and sonsiblo Republican (not tho Republican who tups at Sumner's skirt and rovcroa the shade of Stevens, but tho old-fash? ioned Republican who honors his own coosti tution and respects the constitution of his fathers,) hardly knows which to despise the most-monarchical institutions or the British oyster 1 Accustomed to the dainty flavor cf the Lynn Havon, tho Blue Point, the Bath, the Mill Pond and other famous varieties, ho turns up his free and indepoudent noso at the insu? lar egotism which places th J "native" oyster ona par with the "nativo" Englishman. The tyrant-hating American may admit that they are on a par, but a faux pas, which mars all de? light, and have no par-tioular claim to distinc? tion save the coppery taste of the one and the brassy pride o' tho other. Aud he who ven? turos to doubt that tho American bivalve is in? comparable and not to be surpassed, will be in danger 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 ?South, no East, no Wost. There is nothing sectional in an oyBter, even on a half-shell; and now that the season is drawing to a close we may be permitted to hint that a company has-been formed in Charleston for the purpose ot im? proving and canning tho already well known Charleston oyster. But before narrating what tho company is and what it intends to do, it will be advisable to do /oto a tow moments to a philosophical consideration of tho habits and peculiarities of THE AMERICAN OYSTER, by that name usually called, the word oyster being understood to signify tho species of os traoian bivalve called oslreaifduiis or otlrea eat il-is, wbioh is oharaoterized by an inequivalve shell composed of two irregular lamellated valves, of which the convex or under one ad? heres to rooks, piles, or to the shell of another individual. The ojetes, therefore, is a queer genius. As it make its bed it will lie upon it, being as much indisposed to "shell out" aa though it were a bifurcate instead of a bivalve. In its natural state the oyster is always light, and not until it becomes loose ls it fit for human society. As may be inferred from what has been said, the ouster is a ha rd drinker, al? though never drunk. Oysters are usually eaten during the months the names of whioh have the letter R in thom. The nason of this is not known unless it is because then oysters B in season. There are many ways of cooking the oyster, and there is the raw, the fry, the boil, the roast, the scallop and the stew. Some 1 ike them one way and some another, but they all go the same way al last. THE SADDLE BOOK is the most famous of the American oysters, aud ie found at Saddle Rook in Long Island Sound. The rook is about forty miles from New York, and the oyster to which it gives a name is celebrated for both size and flavor. They bring a higher prun than any other oys? ter whioh goes to tho New York market, often Belling at wholesale at five dollars a hundred, a. dozen of these oysters, roasted, is sail to be enough to All every corner in the corporosity at a man of moderate size. THE SHREWSBURY is the next in rank with the New York epicures. It is token from the Shrewsbury River in Now Jersey, and oan be readily recognized by its peculiar golden ti it and very thin shell. The oyster beds in the Shrewsbury Biver are closely guarded, and yield an immense income to thc owner. Shrewaburys sell st $12 a bushel. THE EAST BTV BB was in former years considered to be the best oyster found in the market. It had a salty baste and delicate flavor, and was considered the oorrect thing at luncheon. Of these a man of elastic temperament might consume X-an unknown quantity. Of late years, owing to the building of the great Manhattan Gasworks on the banks of the East Biver, they have acquir? ed a coppery and gaseous taste. This causea them to be sedulously avoided by all true Irish? men, but they are greater favorites than ever with publio speakers and members of legisla? tive assemblies. THE KEYPORT is a Virginia oyster, which at a tender age is taken from ifs natural bed and planted in the Raritan Biver, chanting all the while the plaintive air of "Who will care for mother now ?" It is allowed to remain in its new home n peace for two years, and is then a dish wor ;by of LuculluB when he sups with Lucullus ?-night. This oyster is sometimes known BB fte military oyster, because it will stand Are jotter than any other kind, always cook.ng arger than in its natural state. It is there? fore a decided swell. THE ORA VEX OB BLUE POINT from the Passaic River is not to ba despised. The beds yield these fine oysters in large quantities, and being so dose to the New York market, they are sold at rom $1 to $125 per boiboi* THE BATH lyster is small, but being firm sud delioious in Savor ls sought after by the epicure, and al? ways brings a high price. Kathleen Villa, not Ibe home of Kathleen Mavourneen, but of Barney Williams, the well known Irish corne? lian, is on the banks of the bay, and Barney mows no greater pleasure, when the footlights uro turned down, than taking a fe V friends to Iiis charming villa, where they may be regaled tVith the order of the Bat h-oye tors taken from bis own pond. In the spring of 1868 a large bed of fine oys? ters was discovered between Fort Lafayette ind the beach in New York harbor. These were called the LAfAYBTTBS, Mad soon became populur. The prisoners of ivar in the fort from their bunks looked at the beds with watery mouths and eager eyes. They thought of Norfolk aud Charleston and Uobile, and thought and dreamed of oysters. These Union oysters, whose Union the prison emera desired to destroy, were cortainly-not tor ?foe I Another large bed was discovered in May last near Gua Inland, Bast Biver. Hundreds ?>f vessels crowded to the ostracean El Dorado, but the owner of tho island at once set up a jlaim to the whole. This led to a repetition of the story of TBE LAWYERS AMD THC OYSTER, as tho owner at once obtained an injunotlon to prevent the pioking of the oysters. While the sase was being tried in the Long Island courts, ? oiptain, more 'cute than his companions, brained a carrier pigeon to fly between the beds and the court. As soon aa the injunotion was dissolved, the carrier flew. to the vessel, whioh in a shot t time was lo dod and on he. way to market. The beds were soon exhausted, ?nd little Gun Island lefa to its ancient quiet. THE CONSUMPTION off oysters la usually limited by the capacity of the oonsumor, but it ts known that London i anally absorba twenty thousand bushels year ly, and that Now York spends annually in tho same amusement about five million Of dollars. Charleston, of oonrse, cannot eqnal this, al? though information has been reoeived thal a well known Charlestonian wont over to (Sulli? van's Island not long ago and swallowed twen? ty-two dozen oysters at a Bitting. At this rate and New York prices the Charleston consump? tion would equal that of Gotham. This leads us to the CHARLESTON O Y STE 118, which are not easily excelled. The mill pond oyster is a jewel in its way, and with proper care in planting and feeding would be superior to any oystor known. Sullivan's Isl md and j Now Beach Iulot also aond us large quantities of ostraceans. There is no doubt, however, that these oysters could bo greatly Improved by care and attention ho l'or o they are turned ; over to the chefs of oj ster-cooking, of whom wo have several in Charleston. The oysters should nover be disturbed before November. They lie in shallow water, and as tiley are ex? posed to the hot rays of the summer sun they need cool weather to mike them firm and healty. In addition to the mill pond oystor we have the Bull's Bay oyster, takon ft om deep water and replanted in Mount Pleasant Creek. This is the best cooking oyster that we have. It has long been regretted that there was no company in Charleston win di would make a special feature ot the oyete: business, and wJ now announce with pleasure the formation of a firm, which may be called THE CHARLESTON OYSTER COMPANY, which has leased for fifteen years a largo area of marsh land and water in the eastern part of the city. The idea was first entertain? ed four years ago, but could not be carried out until lately. Every first difficulty has been overcome, and the oompany has been quietly at work for three or four weeks. Tue sceoe of operations is bounded on the north by Spring street; on the south by the continuation of Cal houn-street; on the east >y President-street, and on the west by the Ashley lt i vor, compris prising about forty acres. Here tue oysters will be planted, and in order to keep the waters sufficiently still, the company m tond to hui kl an extensive and substantial wall or break-wat er. All the necessary works and buildings will be put up, and the oompany in? tend to turn their attention to CANNING OYSTERS, a trade which in Baltimore is already one of great importance. One firm alone in the Monumental City employs during the oyster season two hundred women in shelling and canning oys? ters. (It may be notioed en passant that the finest oysters that are found in the Baltimore and Washington markets are from Lynn Haven Bay, about twelve miles from Norfolk.) There is no reason why this canning business sh mild not be highly successful in Charleston. The company has. we understand, poshing and en? ergetic men at the head of it, and may in time add the canning of shrimps to its other pur? suits. In this and all else that they undertake we wish them success. TR AD JE WITH THE WEST INDIES. Restrictions of the New Quarantine Law The following correspondence, upon a sub? ject of muoh importance to our commercial community, will be of interest to the readers of THE NEWS : CHARLESTON, March 81, 1869. Robert Lebby, M H., Health Officer, Charles? ton, S. C. : DEAB SIS-Will yon be kind enough to in? form us as to what rest rie? ions are imposed by tho recent quarantine law, upon vessels trad? ing between this port and the British and Spanish West Indies during the summer sea? son ? The trade between Charleston and those islands is an important and rapidly growing one, and it deeply concerns us, as importers of West India products, and the commercial advance? ment of the city, that it should not bb obstruc? ted, save in so far as may be necessary to fur? nish proper safeguards against the introduc? tion of infectious diseases in to the community. We are, dear sir, very respectfully, PAUL, WELCH & BRANDES. RISLEY & CREIGHTON. A. CANALS. W. P. HALL. BART & WIR TH. * J. A. ENBLOW & Co. CHARLESTON, April 1, 1869. To Messrs. Welch fi Brandes, Risley fi Creigh ton, A. Canale, Bart fi Wirth, W. P. Hall and J. A. Enslow fi Co. GENTLEMEN-I have the honor to acknowl? edge your letter of 81st ult., requesting to be informed "as to what restrictions are imposed by the recent quarantine law, upon vessels trading between this port and the Biitish and Spanish West Indies during the summer sea son." I beg loavo lo inform you that the acl of the General Assembly, passed on the sixth day of September, 1868, establishing quarantine at Georgetown, Charleston and Hilton Head, will be rigidly executed. Tue second section of this act fixes the terms of quarantine, viz : "Vessels arriving at the Sorts ot Georgetown, Charleston and Hilton I * ead, Bh ill bo subject to quarantine as fol lows : 1. All vessels from any piase where pea- 11 tilential, contagious or infectious disease ex- 1 isted at the time of their departure, or which shall have arrived at snob place and proceeded thence to eitbei of said ports, or on board of which, during the voyage, any case of such disease shall have occurred, arriving between the first day ot May and the first of November, shall remain at quarantine for at least thirty days steer their arrival, and at least twenty days after their cargo shall have been dis? charged, and shall perform such other quar? antine as the Health Officers shall proscribo. "2. All vessels from any place (including islands) in Asia, Attica or the Mediterranean, or from any of the West Indies, Bahamas, Bermuda or Western Islands, or from any place in America, in the ordinary passage from whiob they pass south of Hilton Head; and all vessels on board of which, during tbe voyage or wbile at the port of their departure, any person shall bave been sick, arriving between the first day of May and the first day o'. No- . vember, and all vessels from a foreign port, \ \ and not embraced in the first subdivision of t tbis section, shall, on arriving at the quaran- 1 tine around, be subject to visitation by the Health Officers, but shall not be detained be yond the timo requisita for due exam ination and observation, unless they shall have had on board during the voyage aome case of tole tiona, contagions or pestilential disease, in which case they shall be subject to such quai antine abd regulations as the Health Officers may prescribe. "8. Ali vessels embraced in the foregoing Erevisions, whioh are navigated by steam, shall e subject only to such length of quarantine and regulations as the Health Officer shall en? join, unless they shall have had on board during the voyage so.no case of infectious, contagions or pestilential disease, in which caso they shall be sub ject to suoh quarantine as the Health Officors shall prescribe." This isithe law. Upon a careful consideration of this section of law, I am of opiuion that the first olause is imperative* and that all veaneu? from any port where, at tho time of their departure, any infec? tious, pestilential or contagious disease is pre? vailing, wbetner the orew and passengers have beon healthy or not, must be quarantined by this act for at least thirty days after arrival, and at least twenty days after the cargoes have been discharged. The seco id oluiiso, in my judgment, admits al. Ire m ports named in the section, and are detained only tor visitation and examination by the Health Officer, unless they shall have had on board during the voy? age some case of disease in tb? foregoing olause. The third clause, in regard to steam vessels, is entirely discretionary, unless they shall have had on board during the passage any of tbe prescribed diseases. Thus, gentlemen, you have my interpreta? tion of the quarantine laws, entrusted to me for the protection of the community of Charloa ton and the prevention by importation of all epi? demic or contagious diseases. Whilst it would give me much palo to trammel or embarrass your trade or commerce tn any manner, I have a duty to perform, and that fearlessly and im? partially, to ox?ente tba law, for whioh I have been Besoted by tho Executive of South Car? olina, t am. Gentlemen, very respectfully, Honrar LROBT, M. D., Health OA for, Port of Charleston. ; ......'.'."\ ' 1 ? ' SVEEERIXOS OE TUE SEABOARD. Uaroo or War-Tia? Trae Condition of tlio Coast Region and an Interesting lt?>vlow of the Canses of toe Present Impoverishment of the Plant ere tn that Itcglon--Tue Seasons and the Crone. ? Charleston correspondent of tho Baltimore Gazette, writing in the interest of the Southern Educational Society, says :, t?*-, Tho true condition of the people of the coast region of South Carolina is little known or ap? preciated, and should bo brought plainly beroi o tboso interested in sustaining Mus admirable institution. I therefore toko this opportunity to enlarge upon the topic afo ??how how lt bas been produced and what it i ally is. Charleston is a planters' town. The influ? ence of plauters and those who sold their crops has ever predominated in society and in busi? ness circles. Tho noe lands abd the sea is? land cotton lands from Savannah to George? town, for thirty mi lea inland, were the rich? est and most valuable in tho State. The pro? prietors of these plantations, owning from one, two anti three hundred negroes, to five hundred and even a thousand, bore the bur? den of taxation, und embocyto, io a certain extout,tho wealth and culturo of South Car? lina. On the 7th November, 1061, Port Royal and Hilton Hoad wore attacked by a Federal fleet, led by the Wabash, a voodoo ship. In consequence of previous neglect on the part of tho authorities at Richmond, they foil, and during the remaining two aud a half years of war peace and quiet forsook this whole coast region. Ibo Confed?ralo authorities forth? with abandoned the sea islands aud sought on tho main land to conflue the "area of Federal operations, and to save anti hold Charles? ton. ? line of defence ?ia established along the Savannah and Cha>ih> Railroad. It ran through tho upper portie u of the tido swamp rico lands and lot tho arrea t body of these plantations in the debatable ground and picketed by Confederates. Ic was occupied in the winter of '61 and 'G2 by some 40,000 Confederate soldiers. Their humber was re? duced in tho spring. But from that time for? ward troops were moved from placo to place, and quartered throughout the country, and it was exhausted by requisitions of corn, rice, peas, pot at oes, fodder, nay. st raw, &c. Horses, mules wagons, carts, cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry were aW taken. Houses were often occupied by officers, outbuildings sometimes pulled down to make barracks for soldiers, and it noes used for firewood. Wagte and destruc? tion are inevitable concomitants of war, and in its immediate presence they riot. The sub? stance of the plant?is waa either abandoned to the United States near the tea Qr consumed by the defenders of tbe soil. The thunders of Federal guns were daily heard, tttaoka of land forces were made, and expeditions by water along the numerous rivets penetrat? ing the coast every few miles. Tho secret efforts of incendiary agents and spies among the negroes created and increased demoraliza? tion. Proprietors who kept their slaves on the ooast made little, and ran the risk of losing them by abduction and desertion. Those who, in order to avoid this, bought or leased un.oc- , copied places in tho upper doutlry and moved their negroes, incurred great expense, planted Duly to obtain provisions, and paid heavily for the coveted but unsubstantial security. Under sit her arrangement the rieb plantations on ?be seaboard wont to raia. Then came tho finish rf the war. What its oourse had hitherto lett tbawas destructible, Sherman ir. 1866 demol? ished. Dwelling houses, Overseero' houses, expensive steam mills, barns, stables, cotton iionses, corn-houses and fences were given to the flames, and as a rule negro cabina alone survived tue conflagration. The war closed with the confiscation of all the property vested in slaves. Tu o values placed in Confederate bonds and enrrenoy were tlso destroyed. The stocks of banks and rail? roads ?rere worthless, tor the banka here had caned their money and credit to ute Confede? rate Government, and tho railroad!) were torn ip ana demolished. St ato and city stocks, in? volved in the lost cause, were r? /?ai la pie; and planters were left with their r jgEM??-n;* and real estate aa the only property they Could ook to. Sherman's notorious order No. 80, at the itroke of the pe i, sought to set aside and con lecate the lands from Savannah to Charleston, hirty miles from the sea, for distribution unoug the freedmen. And this authority, manipulated by "tba Bureau of Freedmen and ! abandoned Lands," increased the embarrass? ments of the proprietors. The plantations, when rescued from the ;ripe ot Howard, Saxton & Co., of the Bureau, i iepended, for their uso and value, upon the ' labor. And this labor was systematically de? moralised. Not satisfied wi h the inherent .deas of freedom to steal and to shoot, which took possession of the African minds, Bureau igenta carefully implanted agrarian views. The lands, they said, were bought with the ; nroceeds of the labor of slaves, and in justice >elonged to them, and would be divided among i -he negroes. In proof, Sherman's order and .he Bureau existed. Forty acres and a mule vere the promised and expected acoompaui nents to the glorious immunity from work for he negro. The country here was his, the i whiteman was an intruder and a rebel, and York was an imposition. Tho negro's occupa ion was to squat on a patoh of open laud, and lis ambition to sport a gun for killing and iteahng purposes. Houoo a lo.ig array of crimes-insubordina- i ion, robberies, outrages and morder?-oom- , nitted by the negroes in this region since the rar. 1 With plantations in the condition described, 1 he proprietors thus destitute of the means of rorking them, and with the essential labor in his demoralized and unreliable condition, it rae the necessity ot planters to plant, if they lould obtain che means. Ordinary sea is and cotton bri nar i $1 50 i pound, and noe selling at $14 and $15 per ono inndred pounds in the winter of 1865 and 1866, inoourtged the planters and allured Northern sapitalists. The needy proprietors staked heir estates-their all;and the capitalists ven? tured the funds required. But money was ob amed with great difficulty, often by long learohing and at great cost, fifteen, twenty or hirty per cent., secured by mortgages, or ono lalf, one-third, or more of the crops, as in lucement to plant on shares, with liens on the vhole to secure advances. After securing loans of mo Ley the next diff? iculty was to contract with the demoralized ianda in a way to suit their ideas of freedom md to get tbe required approval of tho Bu - eau, men utterly ignorant of the large amount of work needed to moko Southern sr ops and ot the value of that work in the lnal return J. Generally, plauters had to agree o exorbitant terms, which nothing but euor nons prices for their produce and excellent teasons could possibly justify. The season of 1866 in this region was charac ?rized by a protracted drought, lasting through July, August and t? eu tomb or. The 10a island 00' ton crop Buffered severely and vas out off-the little that was planted-say rom one-third to one-half. Tho noe crop was nj H red by want of pnre fresh water and by ;he depredations of noe bird? dnnng the har? rest, and turned out light, so that there was general disappointment in the yield. And tho >noes, instead ol' advancing, went down, and, ;ont rary to all expectation, kept declining. But the olanters had to sell even at heavy losses. The se ison of 1867 was a very wet ono. Fre? inant and heavy rains occurred in June and tgain in Baptomber. The sea island cotton irops were damaged in the early summer and hushed by caterpillars in the fall. Thc crops >f rice suffered from freshet in Jane and during the harvest, aud prices did not advance mate? rially. The season of 1868 was very like that of 1867, nuoh too wet, and similar results followed. 'ihus three bad seasons in succession, with wices riding iiwe? than was looked for or can M accounted lor, (except from the buyers hav? ing the market and the producers forced to tell,) are to be added to the blaok lietof cala rn- . ties which baye oppressed the people of this wast country and made their earnest and ex? traordinary efforts unfruitful and left them without means. Those who can are sti'l en? raged in coning with the difficulties of the po? rtion, and 'hope for a chango for the better. Bat the condition of tibe people here, with the exception ot speculators, brokers and lawyers, is much worse than it was when the war closed. This is ? plain, unvarnished statement of tue fact?. Some whistle to keep tftelr courage up, and the press labors to put tho best face upon matters to prevent publio demoralization and despair, and to help credits and enterprise-. Ihe truth, however, is blue enough te require no paint or saffron lights. -A Mrs. John Launcer was barned <o death at Appleton, 111., a few days since, while at? tempting to AH a Ump from a can of ben? sine.

Tho Washington correspondent of the Balti? more San writes under date ot Wednesday evening: The tenure-of-office matter, it is supposed, ie now finally disposed of, both houses having UK rood to the report of tho committee of con? ference. From the chuckling of the anti-re pealers it may bo assumed that they oie Batid fled that they have achieved a victory, and it is ci ta u, from the rom arks let drop by Senator Trumbull, that the Seaste bas not oonocded muoh, if anything, in tho matter, although Mr. Bingham's expiration in the House would ae im to indicate tho opposite. The knowing ones say that the House has been badly sold; that all the supervisory power yet remains in the Senate, and from the alacrity with which all the extreme members of that body hasten? ed to vote for the roport, thero would seem to be some ground for the assertion. The bill #ill now go to the Provident for his signature, of which there is no doubt, and, even if tho.

About fifty Texan gentlemen appeared be? fore the Reconstruction Committee this morn? ing. Qovernor Hamilton stated the case for the party, which asks to vote upon the new constitution, aud discussed the equal rights and auftrage clauses. Some conversation arose b tween the committee and the speaker, as to the true meaning ot tho disfranchisement sec? tion, which is copied from the new Constitu? tion of South Carolina. Governor Hamilton contended t nat 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, Qovernor Hamilton said, "If that be the interpretation, so muoh the bet? ter." General Butler said, "That is explioit enough." Governor Hamilton then spoke against all disqualifications as a permanency. The further hearing was then adjourned until Thursday. Gold Contracta.

The bill came baok to tho House, and upon a committee of conference being appointed, that body also agreed to tho striking of it out. It will meet Borne opposition io the Senate, but will go through tho House with little or no objeotion THE RAILWAY KINGS IN COUNCIL.-Several railway presidents and saporintondeots arriv? ed in tho city yesterday and are the guests of the Planters1 Hotel.
