They can work all the year round, too, and what they make koo is as woM as any other. This ice under . sells the Northern ice, retailing at one cent per pound. A block of it weighing three thousand pounds is nov on exhibition at the fair iu >?*ow Orleans. - Miss Cairnes, who shot and killed her se? ducer, McCoraas, last week at Jarreltsville, Maryland, is still at liberty. Public sentiment -is so universally in her favor that the authori? ties have not demanded ber imprisonment, nor asked security. Sho still remains at her home, perfectly reconciled and ready for any domr.:id tho sheriff may make, lt is Baid that no jury could possibly be found to convict her, t'jou..di she owns to a deliberate intention, long promoditntcd, if the deceased failed to make reparation by marrying her, of taking bis life. -It is understood that President Grant dooa not acquiesce iu the views of Secretary Fish, relative to Cuban affairs. Thia 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 ol the most peremptory character, looking to restitution and full satisfaction to American citizens for all injuries and insults offered by tho Spaniards. The owners of tho Mary Powell are to lay the matter of her cap? ture before tho English Minister, and in the ?vent of prompt action not being taken, our ' government wm assume the responsibility of demanding redress. -The State of Maryland has appropriated ' $5000, 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-course and fair ground near that oity. The grounds are already purchased, are very suitable for the pur pose, and are localed about four miles from the centre of the city. The main drive . to the course will be through tho extensive - and beaut iful new park, the improvement of . which 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 soon 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 bill giving to favorites, as a - gratuity, that valuable franchise. Though op? posed to the project of such a road in that crowded thoroughfare as injurious, 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. And so we go, all over the country, from Con? gress downwards. -ThE New York papers publish a lotter from General Sherman in relation to tbe terms upon which General Johnston surrendered bis forces at Durham, in April 1865. The letter says: "I drew up the terms with my own hand. Breokinridge had nothing at all to de - with them, more than to discuss their effect, and he knew they only applied to the military; I . and he forthwith proceeded to make hio es-' cape from th? country, a course that I believe Mr. Lincoln wished that Mr. Davis should have succeeded in effecting, as well as all the other ? leading Southern politicians, against whom public indignation always turned with a feel? ing for more intense than against Generals Lee, Johnston, and other purely military men. I - repeat that, according to my memory, Mr. Lincoln did not express'y 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 ali parties.'* - The recent forgery upon the bank of the State of New York was most adroitly planned and' executed. Five cheeks were presented at the bank at intervals during tho day, drawn to - the order of Alex, B. Hill, assistant cashier for Jay Cook A Co., and appeared to be fully en? dorsed hy him. They were fae -similes of the special checks issued by Jay Cook A Co. The - imitation of the handwriting of Mr. Hill, whoso signature appears three times, was per? fect, and their numbers corresponded exactly with the numbers that were used by Jay Cook St Co. on that day. Each chook was presented hy a different person, sPthat the suspicion of the paying teller at thc bank might not be aroused. As it is not customary for Jay Cook A Co. to keep s large amount of currency on hand at their banking house, they frequently give checks on the bank? to persons selling them securities, and in every such case thc person bearing the chock to the honk is identi? fied by the cashier, who indorses the check twice on thc book, onec to denote that the bear? er has been identified and is all right. These indorsements by Mr. Hill were perfectly fami? liar to the forger, and were exactly copied, as well ss bis private mark or chock. The scheme,, of tho forger was BO Bkilfully carried out that the suspicion of tho paying teller was not aroused in tho least. -Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who has been known in years past as a pretty still- Tariff man, addrcesod a mooting of freetraders in Brook? lyn, Monday evening. After anuounoing his political conversion, he said he thought lt a poor way to tako care of tho industries of the country to let government interfere with them -for tho government can never meddle with anything except by political influences, and "you can never introduce a protection policy into tho country without making it a political one. Sinco the first tariff in our country there has noverboen a tariff that has not been under political influences. Now, in this country it is imposai Mo to prevent one party from following its opposite in power and reversing or chang? ing all its policies, and when the financial and industrial affairs of the country are Baid to depor-d upon politics, tho consequence is, thal instead of a settled, onward progress, you will have perpetual chango and rotation." Mr. Beecher said that ho had laid down the black man, and that if ho (tho negro) could not now stand upon his feet, he must fall. "Just now it Booms to mo that the coming question is the mysteries of organized, gigantic capital, as op? posed to the unprotected individual, the labor? er in the community. Wo bave moro, to fear from the corruption of legislatures than from the corruption of individuals -from the bribers of capital than from any other source. At this time every virtuous citizen is bound to think and to labor for the purification of morals in thc matter of money, or wo are swamped in this na? tion." _ CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, APRIL 19, 18?9. The Cotton Crop ot thc State. The cotton plantera of the State, encour? aged by the prices at whioh- they have sold the orop of 1868, have invested largely in fertilizers, with tho evident intention ol making a heavy orop. As we are informed, the quantity of guanos and phosphat?e shipped over the South Carolina Railroad is far in exoess of the shipments of any preoeding season, it being determined, il seems, to stake all our fortunes on cotton and allow bread and meat to take care ol themselves. We have already, in common with the whole Southern press, urged thc planters to make corn and wheat their tirai and principal aim, as the surest way ol being independent, and of reaping the ben? efit of a small crop of cotton; but, if wt may judge by what is going on around us. what has been said has produced no ?ft'cct, and every State in the South will this yeai gamble recklessly in cotton. We lake it foi granted then that all the cotton will fc< raised that can be raised, and it become! interesting to speculate as to what, undei the most favorable circumstances, will b( the probable amount of the crop of 1869. In the year 1860 the slave population oi South Carolina was 402,406, of which num? ber 205,000 were between the ages of lt and 60. From the total number must b< deducted the negroes employed on the riot plantations, and as house servants anc mechanics, so that it is a liberal estimati to say that not more than 180.000 slavei were employed in producing cotton. Thif number, at an average of about two bales t< the hand, would give 859,412 bales, the oro] of 1860. In 1867-68 the entire crop of th? State fell off to about 200,000 bales, and th? or?p' of 1868-69 will not exceed 180,00t bales, or about one bale to the hand upor. the basis of the working slave population of 1860. There is no doubt that the number ol negroes in the State is much less than thc 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 uniese their necessities force them to do so, and, having but little idea of the provident use of money, take no pains to keep themselvea sufficiently or comfortably olad. Nor do they take the proper means for their own safety in cases of sickness. They have no money with whioh to pay a dootor. Herb teas and good luck are their ohief reliances, whether the ailment be an aching tooth or pulmonary consumption. As a natural oonsequenoe, the mortality ia muoh greater than amongst the whites, it being seen that in this etty where they are least exposed and where they oan always obtain medical treatment, there are more than twice as many deaths of negroes as of white per? sons. In the oountry district?, for obvious reasons, the proportionate mortality must be even greater. But it is not the deaths, alone whioh re j duos the number of negroes available "fox work in the cotton fields. A large humber of negroes have moved to the towns and oitiea, hoping to live there more easily, and the migration is still going on. Then then ia the dislike of the negro women to going into the fields. They think, and the men think, that women should remain at home and not hoe or piok for a living. This is an important element in tho 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 offioers of the government. The negroes had become pretty well con? vinced that without work .they oould 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 offioe, big or small, will fall to their lot, and that at the worst they oan jota the State militia. No reasoning cam drive these ideas altogether out of their heads. We think it, then, safe to say ?hat, taking into account-1. ?The exoessive mor? tality of the negroes in the oountry dis? tricts; 2. The migration from'the oountry to the towns and cities; 3. The dislike ol the women, oftes 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 foroed to do, the number of negroes available for producing cotton this year will net exceed 100,000, or about one half of the estimated numbor in 1860. And the reduoed 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 ii limited, and the extent ef thaj^t op?rations will he determined, not hy the number of hentt they aaa kira, but by the amount of money they oat: command. In no place will the negroes work up .0 the tasks of I860, and we think that, even add? ing on a fair margin for cotton produced by white labor, we are naming an outside figure when we say that the ootton crop of the State for 18G9 will not cxoeed 200,000 bales. And this will be accomplished by the liberal use of fertilizers1 and by sacri? ficing meat and grain: The circumstances which operate in this State to reduce the produotion of ootton, are found in every other Southern State, and we Bee no reason to believe that the cotton orop of the entire South oan, under any ordinary circumstances, exceed 3,000, 000 of balea, whatever tho uso of fertilizers and whatever the neglect of food. The picking power, the quantity that eau be picked, is the limit of our capacity in pro? ducing ootton. In this, machinery and superphosphates oannot help UH. The nim? ble fingers of the negro must be our reli? ance. We see, then, no danger that a large crop in 1869, or any succeeding year, will swamp the cotton 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.

J To tito People of the Southern States t WHEN THE PURE MEDICINAL RESTORATIVE, now so widely kno*n as WOLFE'S SCHIEDAM SCHNAPPS, was imroduced into thc world, under the endorsement of four thousand loading members of the medical profession some twenty years ?go, its proprietor was well aware that it could not wholly escapo the penalty attached to all new and useful preparations. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counter? feiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it diffi? cult and dangerous. It wa? submitted to distin? guished chemists for sualysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its puri? ty and properties having been tims ascertained, sam? ples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand physicians, including all the leading practitioners in tho United States, for purposes of experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of tho preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the most eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opinions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation, they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which ware more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strongth of the ol of juniper, which formed one ol the principal ingredients of the Schnapps, together with an unalloyed character of the alcoholic ele? ment, give H. in th? estimation of the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimu? lant as a diuretic, toiuo-aiid restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rink were published In a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of thc Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine ness. Other precautions against, fraud were alec adopted; a patent waa obtained for the article, thc label was copyrighted, a /ac simile of the proprietor'! autograph signature was attached to each label and cover, hl9 name and that of the preparation were em bossed on the bottles,sud the corks were sealed witt bis private seaL No article had ever been sold ii this country under the name of Schnapps prior tc the introduction of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, in 1851 ; ana the label was deposited, ai bis trade mark, in tho United States District Conn for the Southern District of New York during thai year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates who pres upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vend lng deleterious trash tinder their name, that the pro tections so carefully thrown around these Schnappt would have precluded the introductions, and sale o: counterfeits. They seem, however, only to have stimulated tho rapacity of impostors. The trade mark of th3 proprietor has been stolen; the indorse ment which his Schiedam Aromatio Schnapps alone received from the medical profession has beer claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels ant bottles have been imitated, his advertisements para phrased, his circulara copied, and worse than all dishonorable retailers, after disposing of tho genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up witt common ein, the most deleterious of all liquors, auc thus made his name and brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and the sick for whom the Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is pre scribed as a remedy, are equally interested with th? proprietor in the deletion and suppression of thesi nefarious practices. The genuine article, manufac hired at the establishment of the undersigned ii chiedatn, Holland, is distilled from a barley of tin finest quality, and flavored with an essential extrae of the berry of the Italian juniper, of unequalled pu ri ty. By a process unknown in the preparation o any other liquor, it ls trood from every acrimonloui and corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the leadini physicians and families in thc Southern States o the sale of che?p imitations of the Schiedam Aro m a tic Schnapps In those marketa; and travellers who are in the habit of using it as an antidote to th baneful influence of unwholesome river water, tea thy that cheap gin, put up lu Schiedam bottles, 1 frequently palmed off upon the unwary. Th agents of the undersigned have boen requested t< iustltute inquiries on the subject, and to forward ti him the names of such parties as they may ascet tain to bo engaged in the atrocious system of decep rion. In conclusion, the undersigned would say tba be has produced, from under the hands of the mos distinguished men of science in America, proofs un answerable of the purity and medicinal excel lenee of the Schiedam Aromatio Schnapps ; tua he has expended many thousand dollars in sur rounding it with guarantees and safeguards, whiol he designed should protect the publie and himsel against fraudulent imitations ; that he has shown i to be the only liquor in the'world that can be uni for m ly depended upon as unadulterated; that be ha challenged Investigation, analysis, comparison ane experiment in all Its forms; and from every ordea the preparation whLh bears his name, teal and trad i mark, has come off triumphant. He, therefore, feel it a duty he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, te the medical profession and the sick, to denounce and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evl denotes of identity, and he calls upon the press auc the public to aid bim in his efforts to remedy so groa an evil. The following letters and certificates from the leading paye io ian s and che mista of this city wil prove to the reader that all goods sold by the under signe! are all that they are represented to be.
