A block of it weighing three thousand pounds is now on exhibition at tho fair iu New Orleans. ? - Miss Caines, who shot and killed ber se? ducer, McComas, last week at Jarrettavilie, Maryland, is still at liberty. Public sentiment is so universally in her favor that the authori? ties have not demanded her imprisonment, nor asked security. Sho still remains at her home, perfectly reconciled and ready for any demand the sheriff may make. It is said that no jury could possibly be found to convict her, though she owns to a deliberate intention, long premeditated, if tho deceased failed to make reparation by marrying her, of taking h'm life. -Itv is understood that President Grant does not acquiesce in the views of Secretary Fish, relative to Cuban affairs. This is shown by the instructions which have just been pre? pared for Mr Plumb, Consul-General to Cuba, who is about to leave for Havana. His instruc? tions are of the most peremptory charaotor, looking to restitution and full satisfaction to American citizens for all injuries and insults offered by the Spaniards. The owners of the Mary Powell are to lay the matter of her cap? ture before tho English Minister, and in tho event of prompt action not being taken, our government will assume tho responsibility of demanding redress. _nm n. -pp.uyxmi.uu 45000, and the City of Baltimore $25,000, to which the citizens of Baltimore will add $50, 000, by private subscription, to be expended in the construction of a handsome race-coarse and fair ground near that city. The grounds are already purchased, are very suitable for the purpose, and are located about four miles from the centre of tbe city. The main drive te the course will be through the extensive and beautiful new park, the improvement of winch'is rapidly progressing, and which is des? tined to rival the Central Park of New York. Governor Bowie, and other distinguished Marylanders, are much interested in the pro? posed race-course, and it will be completed as toon as possible. -Much indignation is expressed in the New Yo rk journals at the evident determination of the State Legislature to pass the so-called Broadway railroad bil' giving to favorites, as a gratuity, that valuable franchise. Though op? posed to the project of such a road in that crowded thoroughfare as injurions, Mr. A. T. Stewart offers to give two millions of dollars for the franchise, and pay down the money within thirty days after the passage of the bill, or he will pay any higher sum which the franchise may command at public auction. Notwith? standing this offer, it is alleged that the origin? al gratuity bill for the ring will pass, the votes having been already secured, though the price for them may now have to be a little higher. Abd so we go, all over the country, from Con? gress downwards. -Tbs New York papers publish a letter from General Shermanjn relation to the terms upon which General Joblston surrendered his forces at Durham, in April 18G5. The letter says: "I drew up the terms with my own hand. Breckenridge had* nothing at all to do with them, more than to discuss their effect, and he knew they only applied to the military; and he forthwith proceeded to make his es? cape from th? country, a course that I behove Mr. Lincoin wished that Mr. Davis should have succeeded ia effecting, as well oe all the other leading Southern politicians, against whom public indignation always turned with a feel? ing far more intense than against Generals Lee, Johnston, and other purely military men. I repeat that, according to my memory, Mr. Lincoln did not expressly name any specific terms of surrender, but he was in that kindly and gentle frame of mind that would have in? duced him to approve fully what I did, except? ing probably he would have interlined some modifications, such as recognizing h's several proclamations antecedent, as well as the laws of Congress, which would have been perfectly right and acceptable to me and to all parties. ' -The recent forgery upon the bank of the State of New York was most adroitly planned and executed. Five checks were presented at the bank at intervals during tho day, drawn to the order of Alex, B. Hill, assistant cashier for Jay Cook & Co., and appeared to be felly en? dorsed by him. They were fac-similes of the sp?cial checks issued by Jay Cook & Co. The imitation of the handwriting of Mr. Hill, whose signature appears throe times, was per? fect, and their numbers corresponded exactly with the numbers that were used by Jay Cook & Co. on that day. Each check was presented by a different person, so that the suspicion of the paying teller at the bank might not be aroused. As it is not customary for Jay Cook & Co. to keep a large amount of currency on hand at their banking house, they frequently .give checks on the bani i to persons selling them securities, and in every such case the person bearing the check to the bank is identi? fied by the cashier, wh ) indorses the check twice on tbe back, once to denote that the bear-, er has been identified and is all right. These indorsements by Mr. Hill were porfectly fami? liar to Ute forger, and were e: My copied, as well as his private mark or checa. The scheme of tho forger waa so skilfully carried out thai the suspicion ot the paying teller was no aroused in tho least. -Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who bad bcei known in years past as a protty stiff Tariff man addressed a meeting of freetraders in 'Brook lyn, Monday evening. After Announcing hil political conversion, he said In thought it) poor way io toko care of the inouct-ie.i of th< country to let government interfere fl Wi then -for the government can never ?cd<H J witt anytbiog except by political influences, ant "you can never introduce a protection police into the courtry without making it a politica one. Since the first tariff in our country then has never been a tariff that has not been undei political influences. Now, in this country it it impossiblo to prevent on* ?arty from followinp its opposite in power ana reversing or chang ing all its policies, and when the financial anc industrial affaira of tho country are said tc deperd upon politica, tho consequence is, thal inBteadof a settled, onward progress, you wil have perpetual change and rotation." Mr Beecher said that he had laid down the blaci man, and that if he (tbe negro) could not nov stand upon his feet, he must fall. "Just nov it seems to mo that the coming question is th( mysteries of organized, gigantic capital, as op posed to the unprotected individual, the labor er in the community. We have more tofeaj from the corruption of legislatures than fron the corruption of indi viduals-from the bribery of capital than from any other source. At thii time every virtuous citizen is bound to thiel and to labor for the purification of morals in thc matter of monoy,, or we arc swamped in this na tion." CHARLESTON. -0 MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 1869. Tbe Cotton Crop of the State. The cotton planters of the State, encour? aged by the prices at which they have sold the crop of 1868, have invested largely in fertilizers, with the evident intention ol making a heavy crop. As we are informed, the quantity of guanos and phosphates shipped over the South Carolina Railroad is far in excess of the shipments of any preceding season, it being determined, it seems, to stake all our fortunes on cotton and allow bread and meat to take care of themselves. We have already, in common with the whole Southern press, urged the planters to make corn and wheat their first and principal aim, as the surest way of being independent, and of reaping the ben? efit of a small crop of ootton; but, if we may judge by what is going on around us, what has been said has produced no effect, and every State in the South will this year gamble recklessly in cotton. We take it for granted then that all the cotton will be raised that can bc raised, and it becomes interesting to speculate as to what, under the most favorable circumstances, will be the probable amount of the crop of 1869. In the year 1860 the slave population of South Carolina was 402,406, of which num? ber 205,000 were between ?he ages of 15 and 60. From the total number must be deduoted the negroes employed on the rioe plantations, and as house servants and mechanics, so that it is a liberal estimate to say that not more than ISO.OOO slaves were employed in producing cotton. ThiB number, at an average of about two bales to mo nana, wonict give ooa,nz Dates, mc crop of 1860. In 1867-68 the entire crop of the State fell off to about 200,000 bales, and the crop of 1868-69 will not exceed 180,000 bales, or about one bale to the hand upon the bas's of the working slave population cf 1860. There is no doubt that the number of negroes in the State is much lesa than the number reported in 1860. During the last four years the mortality among the negroes has been far greater than it was in the days of slavery. The negroes are careless in their habits. They will not work unless their necessities force them to do so, and, having but little idea of the provident use of money, take no pains to keep themselves sufficiently or comfortably clad. Nor do they take the proper means for their ow* safety in cases of sickness. They have no money with which to pay.a doctor. Herb tea-., and good luck are their chief reliances, whether the ailment be an aching tooth or pulmonary consumption. As a naturaf consequence, the mortality is much greater than amongst the whites, it being seen that in this city where they are least exposed and where they can always obtain medioal treatment, there are more than twioe as many deaths of negroes as of white per? sons. In the country districts, for obvious reasons, the proportionate mortality must be even greater. But it is not the deaths alone which re? duce the number of negroes available for work in the cotton fields. A large number of negroes have moved to the towns and cities, hoping to live there more easily, and the migration is still going on. Then there is the dislike of the negro women to geing into the fields. They think, and the men think, that women should remain at home and not hoe or pick for a living. This is an important element in the calculation, but after all not more serious than the de? moralization caused by the political condi? tion of the State and by the conduct of the officers of the government. The negroes had become pretty well con? vinced that without work they could not live and eat and sleep. They were ready to work tolerably well and were doing so; but they have been filled of late with the hope that some office, big or small, will fall to their lot, and that at the worst they can join the State militia. No reasoning can drive these ideas altogether out of their heads. We think it, then, safe to say that, taking into account-1. The excessive mor? tality of the negroes in the country dis? tricts; 2. The migration from the country to the towns and cities; 3. The dislike of the women, often amounting to a positive refusal, to work in the fields; and 4. The disinclination of the negro men and women to do any more work than they are forced to do, the number of negroes available for producing cotton this year will not exceed 100,000, or about one half of the estimated number in 1860. And the reduced numbers so obtained will not give anything near to the average of 1860. In the low-country, where the negro population is largest, the capital of the planters is limited, and the extent of their operations will be determined, not by the number of hands they can hire, but by the amount of monej they can command. In no place will the negroes work up to the task? of ISu'O, and we think that, even add? ing on a fair margin for cotton produced by white labor, we are naming an outsido figure whan ve say that the ootton crop of thc State for 1S09 will not exceed 200,000 bales. And this will be accomplished by the liberal use of fertilizers and by sacri? ficing meat and grain. The circumstances which operate in this State to reduce th* production, of cottor, are found in every other Southern State, and wo see no reason to believe that the cotton crop of the entire South can, under any ordinary circumstances, exceed 3,000, 000 of bales, whatever the use of fertilizers and. whatever the neglect o* food. The picking power, the quantity that can be picked, is the limit of our capacity in pro? ducing cotton. In this, machinery *nd superphosphates cannot help us. The nua? ble fingers of the negro must be our reli? ance. We see, then, no danger that a large crop in 18G9, or p.uy succeeding year, will swamp the ootton market; but we do see great danger that before many months we shall be going to the Western markets to buy corn and bacon whioh we ought to raise at home.

NEW YORK, November 3. 1808. J To the People of the Southe rn States s WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATP now so widely knov>n aa WOLFE'S SCHIED. SCHNAPPS, waa inlraduced into tho world arr the endorsement of four thousand leading roemb of the medical profession somo twenty years ago, proprietor was well awaro that it could not whe escape the penalty attached to all new and usc preparations. H?'," therefore, endeavored to inves with strongest possible safeguard against conni felters, and to render all attempts to pirate it di cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to dist guished chemists for analysis, and pronounced them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its pt ty and properties having been thus ascertained, sa pies of the article were forwarded to ten thousa physicians, including all the leading practitioners tbe United States, for purposes of experiment, circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and report of Ibe result, accompanied each specimc Four thousand of the most eminent medical men tho Union promptly responded. Their opinions tho article were unanimously favorable. Suet preparation, they said, had long been wanted the profession, as no reliance could be placod on I ordir. .ry liquors of commerce, all of which wi more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit : medical purposes. The peculiar excellence a strength of the ol of juniper, which formed one thc principal ingredients of the Schnapps, togetl with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic e ment, give it, in the estimation of the faculty, marked superiority over every other diffusive stin lant as a diuretic, tome and restorative. These satisfactory credentials from profeseioi men of the highest rank were published in a c< densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of t Schnapps, os one of the guarantees of its genuii ness. Other precautions against fraud were a: adopted ; a patent was obtained for the article, t label was copyrighted, a Jae eimile of the proprielo autograph signature was attached to each label a cover, his name and that of the preparation wera r. bossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed wi his private seal. No article had ever been sold this country under the Darno of Schnapps prior the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aroma Schnapps, in 1851; abd tbe label was deposited, his trado mark, in the United States District Cor for the Southern District of New York during tl year. It might be supposed by persons nnacquaint with the daring character of the pirates who pr upon the reputation of honorable merchants by veu ing deleterious trash under their name, that the pi tections so carefully thrown around these Schnap would have precluded the introductions and sale counterfeits. They seem, however, only to ha stimulated the rapacity of Impostors. The tra mark of the proprietor has been stolen ; the ind ar? meut which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ale received from the medical profession has bei claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels ai bottles have been imitated, his advertisements par phrased, his circulars copied, and worse than a dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuii contents of bis bottles, have filled them np wi common gin, tho most deleterious of all liquors, at thus made his name and brjnd a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sic for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pr scribed as a remedy, are equally interested with tl proprietor in thc detection and suppression of tba nefarious piacticcs. The genuine article, manuia tured at tho establishment of tho undersigned : chiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of tl finest quality, and flavored with an essential extra of tho berry of tho Italian juniper, of unequalled p rity. By a process unknown in the preparation any other liquor, it ls treed from every acrimonim and corrosive element. Complaints have been*received from the leadin ' physicians and families in the Southern States i the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam An marie Schnapps in those markets; and traveller i who are in tbe habit ol using it as an antidote to tl baneful influence of unwholesome river water, te tify that cheap gin, put up in Scbiedam bottles, frequently palmed off upon the unwary. Ti agents or tao uuucicigaea nave beeu requested 1 institute inquiries on tho subject, and to forward I him the names of such parties as they may ase? tain lo bo engaged lu thc atrocious system of decei tiom In concludion, tho undersigned would say thi he has produced, from under the hands of the mo: distinguished men of science In America, proofs m answerable of tbe purity and medicinal exce lenee of the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps ; thc he has expended many thousand dollars in sui rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, wbic, he designed should protect the public and blmsel against fraudulent imitations; that ho has shown 1 to be the only liquor in the world that can be uni formly depended upon as unadulterated; that ho ha challenged investigation, analysis, comparison aw experiment in all its forms; and from every ordea the preparation which bears his name, seal and trad mark, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feel it a duty be owes to his lollow-citizens generally, b the medical profession and the sick, to denounci and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these cvl dencies of identity, and ho calls upon the press ant the public to aid him in his efforts to remedy so grce au evil.
