Blocker, Fay? etteville, N. C.; E '.ward H. Reed, Jacksonville, Fla.; J. N. Corbert, Sumter, S. C. Senator Chandler offered a resolution to-day requesting the President io oppn negotiations for the settlement of the matters in dispute between England and tho United States on the basie of the surrender of tho British Ameri? can possessions. He made a long speech on the subject. The whole strain was warlike. He said he hoped for a peaceable settlement on the basie of his resolution, but if England wished war, let it be "short, sharp and deci? sivo." Tho 60,000 Miohigan veterans alone - would look out for tho Canadas. The resolution was referred to the Commit? tee on Foreign Relations. Senator Ross, of Kansas, asserted in the Senate that a senator ought to control the postmastershipofhis own town; the Senate ac? cepting this doctrine, gave President Grant's nominee only eight votes. Among those dismissed from the Treasury Department is a brother of General Sam Houston, of Texas. Colonel Houston had been employed several years. All parties hero seem agreed that the Missis? sippi election should r?ot occur until fall. Among the confir nations to-day are J. J. Martin, of Alabama, as Sixth Auditor of the Treasury; Louis E. Johnson, Msrshal for South Carolina;-Jackson, Postmaster of Prince Edward, Va.; J. Holmes Grover, of Soutn Caro? lina, Consul to Ancona; B. O.

WASHTNOTON, April 19.-To-day's Republican has the following : "A member ot Grant's Cabinet authorizes the statement that the President never con? templated calling an extra session of Congress to consider the Cuban question, nor has the government received any official information . that an expedition has gone, or is being fitted out in aid of the Cuban revolutionists. Plumb's instructions are not yet prepared, nor has that - gentleman given the slightest grounds for the absurd rumors afloat as to what he intends to do when he reaches Cuba as United State Consul-Gonoral. Further than that the most recent official information from United Stetes civil and naval effiers in Cuba, and the adjacent waters, agree on asserting that Lb- revolutionary movement is diminish? ing in importance, and that a compromise may be effected. The sensational rumors recently publish ed are calculated to advance- the inter? ests of the Cuban revolution, and were put in circul?t ion by Cubans, who hoped thus to cre? ate capital for their cause. HAVANA, April 17.-The Ca talon ian volunteers were enthusiastically receiver1. Two negroes, - who were spectators of the procession shouted "Viva C?spedes !" and were instantly killed. SPARKS FROM THE WIRES. 4? _ Reverdy Johnson will make a tour before be comes home. Minister Motley is expected to be at his post by Jone let. The apprentice ship leaves shortly for a cruise on the Cuban coast. General Canby arrived in Richmond yester? day, and will assume command to-day. The treasury Etalement shows $88,000, 090 coin, $19,000,000 coin certificates, and $8, 000,000 in currency on hand. A dispatch to the Tribune says Senator Boss, of Kansas, beat President Grant on the confirmation of the postmaster for Lawrence. The Augusta Chronicle says that Ayres, the Republican member of tho Georgia Legisla? ture, was murdered and robbed ^y a negro who is now in jail. Some surprise is expressed at San Francisco at the md i sc ri m ina to change of Federal offi? cers. The removal of J. Boss Brown is uni? venally regretted. The California Benators, Casserly and Cole, in open Senate, yesterday, formally denied having authorized the statement that Presi? dent Grant contemplated an extra session of Congress regarding Cuban affairs. -A dentist in Vienna recently supplied Ma? dam J de B., a lady well known in fashionable circles, with a splendid set of false teeth, worth about two hundred dollars, and waited with exceeding patienoe for payment. Finding that the lady "made no sign," he applied after three months had elapsed from the date of de? livery, by letter, for the discharge of his da m. No answer came. A fortnight later i wrote again, in somewhat stronger lansrua&j, but received as little notice of his second as of bis first application. Determined to have his money, and to be even with Madame de B. for her discourtesy, he inserted in a small suburban paper the following advertisement : "A mag? nificent set of self-adjusting enamelled teeth to be sold dirt-cheap. They ore daily on viow in the mouth of Madame de B., (full name) Stadt, So and So-street, No. -." Then he cut out the slip and encl sed it to tho fair default? er in an envelope. Two hours alter his bill was paid, and Madame de B. hoped, as the paper in which the advertisement appeared was an insignificant ono, that she had heard the last of her bargain; bat the leading jour? nals of Vienna have got hold of the story, and no teeth have made such a sensation since Cadmus' famous crop. -A surgeon of the British army, who has been investigating the causes of the great prevalence of heart disease among English soldiers, Btates that it is due to tho mechanical obstructions to tho proper flow of the blood through the arteries leading from the heart, caused by the restrictions of the clothing and accoutrements. Alterations in the dro3S of the EDglish soldiers are therefore advised, the upright collar hooked tight around the neck being especially objectionable. FBOAC THE STATE CAFITAZ. The Frosts and tUe Fruits-The Nc Dally Newspaper-The Velocipede Ali ula-Literary-The \e>v State Mouse Miscellaneous Items. [FROM OUR ow>- CORBESPOXDEST.J COLUMBIA, April 19.-The unseasonably co weather during thc past week has raised tl cry usual at every cold snap in spring tim that is to say, that all the fruit is destroyer It is rare that this first cry is not exaggerate The facts, so Tar as ascertained, however, gc show tba? the damage done to both orcharc and gardens is considerable. From Abbevd and from Greenville comes the opinion th: the destruction of embryo fruits is well nig thorough ; and certainly the injury in tho: localities may be put down as serious. Ear vegetables havo suffered in the same degre From York County, on the contrary, *hich as far north as Greenville, but not so high nc so near the mountains, I hear that very litt if an; injury has been done to either fruits < ! gardens. But, it must be remembered, that few days moro may show effects that have nc appeared yet. THE NEW BAILY. Mr. Pelham's announcement of his intentio ^o resume the publication of the Guardia newspaper in Columbia bas thus far produce a fair interest in this community, br nothing like a sensation. The fact is, a ne daily may be needed or it may not ; all depend upon what kind ot a daily tho new one is to tx Competition is the main valuable result c bringing another into the field ; and this migh have its advantages, especially to the public The new issue might find this a heavy batt! to fight. Ic remains to be seen what the Guai dian proposes to be and to do ; and until we se that, it is hard to predict ita chances of success The public mind, however, is prepared to re oeive the new sheet favorably, and Mr. Pelhan will evidently have a fair chance. VELOCIPEDES. For ten days or more Columbians hav< bad an opportunity of seeing the uso o a tricycle-an achievement of local ingenuity and skill. It has not a very great speed, anc is said to take a good deal of muscle to prope it, and, on a short turn, is liable to capsize A few days ago, however, there arrived the first and thus far the only, regular bicycle-a legiti mate two-wheeled, French-pattern, Yankee made, a-mile-in-two-minutos, and a-hundied aud-t wen ty-dollar velocipede-such as the Hau lons manipulate (we shall have ptdipulali shortly) so successfully; and such as glide through the streets of Paris, or are to whii over the gravelled walks of Central Park when? ever the authorities open the gates to them, This one draws crowds, and has already tum? bled in the sand several adventurous experi? menters. The owner is the observed of al observers, and next in pubhc interest only tc the Man on Horseback. VELOCIPEDE HOAX. A new idea of advertising struck ouo of oui most successful advertisers-a de lier in groce? ries and provisions-in tho midst of this sea? son of velocipede-on-the-brain. Friday morn? ing he had it announced that he had received a one-wheeled velocipede-a monoc3'cle of new? est style-which would bo on exhibition at his store that forenoon. Quito a number of per? sons dropped in, trying to make it appear ac? cidentally, or to make small purchases, and were so quietly sold that they made but little noise about it. The announcement was re? peated with variations on Sunday morning, sending the monocycle to other places for ex? hibition. It is a wheelbarrow. LITER h BT. Booksellers Du?io and Chapman, of this place, ave going unto the publishing business. The have reached the third number in a series of "Beaders" for common schools; and they announce a "School History of South Caro* lina," to appear early this summer. They also aro publishing, by subscription, a narrative poem entitled "Evelyn," of which the charac? ters are actoi s in the late war. The author is a promising young poet of this State. THE NEW STATE HOUSE. It will be remembered that the Legislative empowered the Governor to have the unfinish? ed State House put in using order for the next session of that heterogeneous body. Major Alexander Y. Lee, architect, has recently been appointed to this work by Governor Scott. It is worthy of mention that Major Lee was the superintendent and architect of the peniten? tiary, and was dismi?aed from that post to give place to one Stoibrand, a thriving carpet-bag? ger ol numerous Radical merits. Now, the appointment of Lee to the State House work is a cheerful sign, indicating as it does that Governor Scott's supply of carpet? baggers, scalawags and negroes is about out, and he has been by this circumstance forcod to tho appointment ot a decent ? hito man. Tho probability is that none of bis negroes, not even Elliott or Whipper, earea to prostitute bis party influence to a job thut would require more brains than they are con? scious of having. They can codify laws and that kind of light work; but architecture is a different matter. But the wonder increases when wo remember that Tomlinson is here and ready to serve the State is so many ways already -could he. not bc induced to devote a little more of his precious time to this little job? And there is Parker, and Neagle, and CrewB, (who does not return to Union,) and Bishop, (wo has not hastened back to Greenville,) and and the Rev. Mr. Jackson, of Charleston, to say nothing of Corbin, Hubbard, Jill?on, Heart, and Louisa Rawlins. All this makes the ap? pointment of Lee the mora wonderful, but not tho less gratifying to the community. ITEMS. The Palmetto Fire Company of this place is making roady for the approaching contest of skill in Charleston. Every fair evening is de? voted to practioe, and a lively rivalry may bo expected when the tug of war comes. Thc grand establishment, combining an ex? press office, opera house, and a good deal be? sides, recently announced as about to bo built in Columbia, is wished for on all hands, but some in our midst still remain a bit incredu? lous about its ruining up so quickly. The military force held here, usually amount? ing to six or eight companies, has dwindled clown to two companies of infantry. General Bamford is tho commandant jf the post. Tho Howard School-for freedmen-is in regular operation, but thc patronage is not as large as formerly. The negroes are getting a little weary of bocks and that sort of thing. The novelty ia wearing off. CORSAIR. -Hannah Tyler has been telling more tales to Tilton. She says of her fellow clerk3 : "My observation has shown mo that any simpering girl can wheedio moro favors from her supe? riors by on9 shake of her curls than a consci? entious man could obtain by a year's diligent labor, lt is not my intention to be personal. But every one in Washington knows that the rule is, if clerks are absent from then- desks, except when on leave, a corresponding deduc? tion is made from their pay. A married lady Bits within speaking distance as I pen this par? agraph, who remained at home for more than a year, and drew $75 per month for thc entire period." FROM CV BA, JDIBJECT. Continued Successes of the Liberals Arrival of a Portion of Hamilton's Brigade-Scenes at Bueiry, Mm ari and Bayamo-The Troops at Port Naranjo -Blockade Running-A Cheering Pros? pect. A correspondent of tho Savannah Advertiser, writing "In the uield, near Bayamo, Cuba, April 6th," says : BUCCE8SE8 OF THE LIBERALS Continue to be reported daily. General Gom?z is actively harrassing Valmaseda's forces, and Alarcamo, Poidres and Thornton sweep the country for six leagues about Santiago de Cuba. Within a week a dozen skirmishes are report? ed, and each one was a Liberal victory, as tho footing up of prisoners, arms and stores cap? tured will show. Every Dian tatton in this sec? tion is a barbor for the Liberals; every cross? road is a gathoring place or r atmt camp, and every hacienda you can find a patriot quarter. The trains sent out to San Louis, El Cristo and Palma Loria have, for the third time since March 7tb, been either driven back or captur? ed. The armed and unarmed patriots spring up from the ground as did Marion's men in days gone by upon the Peedee, and their suc? cess is inevitable. THE ARRIVAL OF HAltTLTON'S BRIGADE at. Port Naranjo was an event. They came in detached companies, and only sinco they have taken the field has any appreciation of their strength ot numbers or their strength in arms been had. From their arrival they wont to work in earnest-a large number were mount? ed within twelve hours of their arrival and away, scouting the country as though to tho manor born. Hamilton is not yet with them he may bein Cuba ere this reaches you, though. Old familiar faces are herc, though las seen at Shiloh or at the Wilderness pressing through the smoke of battle, and these veterans of the great rebellion make short work and speedy of the thin-skinned Andalusians. You can i end fly imagine what chance a conscript Spaniard, fresh from a voyage, reduced by the horrors of an aggravated sea sickness, and green to war, bas with these powder-burned tigers. Some of them have recently been seen in and around Bayamo, Mayari and Buciry, and wherever they have been seen will long be remembered. Thornton is at Palma Doria to-day-to-morrow about Yilla del Cobre, ever ready. Broughton is invalided with a wound received within twelve hours after landing. Van Horn, who says be ie an original Alabama rebel, leaves me to-day for La Guaoajaand the vicinity of Gene? ral Q?esada's command. Valmascda and Mar camo met a few days sinco, and another Libe? ral success bas been added to the list. The Spanish troops are beginning to desert freely. Twelve came into our camp last night-all new arrivals from Spain. Little of this is of interest to you who listen for stirring news, for great battles whereon you can indite many words; for charges and assaults, upon which to build long black head? lines: but to us these little skirmishes, tem? pered as they are by the most bloodthirsty spirit upon the part ot the Spaniards, and by the desperate, soul-nerved resolution upon the part of tho Liborals -these things to us aro not void of excitement nor danger. It is not per? mitted me to go into details-suffice it to say that each day adds to our force, our strength, unanimity and prospects. Each day brings to tho ports wo hold mon, munitions, stores, money and hope. The Issue is no longer doubtful. BLOCKADE RUNNING continues to increase. If the hatches could be lifted off, half the vessels in the Gulf to-day would show something contraband of war. Wo are working rapidly against the day when the grand cordon will be placed around us, which fire and iron alono can remove Now Is Ibo time for thc adventurous, either in prrsoo or purse, to come forward. Forano and fame come easily and speedily in such lays as these. THE PROSPECT is cheering to every Cuban-to every lover of liberty. Wo have "gotten beyond the stage when all desire to be generals. Wc have reached that stage when all aro willina to work in whatever sphere they may bc placed and to work whole hearted when that time is reached, as you well kuow success is no longer proble? matical. I shall continue to write yon as occasion may serve, but do not look tb me for graphic accounts of great battles-they are not plenti? ful. We are eating the country up, inch by inch-overcoming prejudice-creating patriots, not only bv moral suasion, but by orthodox blows, aud win we must. VOLUNTEEB. THE BOMBAY COTTON CROP. We have received a copy of the official report made to the British Government, by Mr. G. F. Forbes, Cotton Commissioner, containing re? ports of the different government collectors, in regard to the cotton crop of Bombay Presi? dency, for tho year 1868-69. Tho report is dated Bombay, February 16, 1869, and the cot? ton commissioner makes the following sum? mary of the reports made to bim : The object of publishing this return is to supply the trade with as near an estimate as possible of the probable yield of the current season's crop. The remarks of the collectors regarding almost the whole of the districts will show how unfavorable the season has generally been. In the preceding return published in Decem? ber last, I noticed the very encouraging reports then reaching me with respect to the cotton crop in the Dharwar districts. At that time, it gave promise of being an abundant one and of superior quality. But sinco then it has suf? fered severely from a cause, which is also purely cl.matic, viz : the unseasonable preva? lence of a dry and scorching easterly wind. I have before now had occasion to notice and re? port upon partial failures of thc cotton crop from this cause, but in this instance ic appears to bavc been goueral, and to havo pro vu ?lo 1 over tho whole district. Its sudden and inju? rious effect upon tho strongest cotton plants is more than can be accounted lor by mero want of moisture, or thc dryness of the wind ; it would appear as if it carried with it somo other blighting ii.tinonee, lt is worthy of notice that the acclimated American cotton is reported os suffering less, and resisting the influence of the blight better, than the indigenous cotton of the country, which shows how firmly and iavorably tho American phut had taken to the soil and climate of those districts. The prospects ol tho out-turn from Goozerat are better than they were when the last roport was published. More especially as regards the colltctoratos of Surat iud Broach, each of wt ich will, I bebe . c,be found to yield noarly an average crop. I observed that tho cotton crop along tho line traversed by the railway was not equal to tho general average elsewhere, and this may have caused uufavorablo anticipa? tions. lu many parts of the interior I saw as fine fiel J s of coll?n as could possibly be desir? ed ; and it was singular that this was tho case in aomo localities where tho wheat and jowaree crops had failed almost to famine standard. Tho general tenor of tho .' remarks by the collectors" would lead to the conclusion* that the crop this season will not be mure than half an average one, but from what 1 have myself seen, and from carefully considering all the information obtained from other sources, f am inclined to take a mote favorable view of the question, and to estimate tho deficiency a', not more than twenty-five percent, as contrasted with the crop ot Inst season, the out-turn of which amounted to about twelvo hundred and fifty thousand bales for export. P. S.-Sinco forwarding tho above to the press, a further report on the Dharwar crop has jual retched me. It d?tes up to the 13th inst. A favorablo change in tho weather was reviv? ing tho plants. Tho cslituato ot loss of quan? tity in the Amfrican variety is given at twenty per cent, less crop than the plautb promised a month ago. But tho quality of the staple is also very materially affected as the " blight " caught :he plauts just at the time that the tibro was maiming in thc bulls; thia Liter is looked upon as the worst evil of the two. The native plant has suffered moro severely; tho estimated Io?s is hero given at fifty per? cent., but notwithstanding the above, owing to the increase in cultivation the whole crop of these districts will be considerably in excess of that obtaiuod from them last year. This report may be taken as thoroughly reli? able, it being founded on official information and published by order of the government. -Itochefort's Lauterue is now published by a Brussels printer, who paye Ro'chofort two thousand francs a wock.

But as popular and strong as ho was then, I believe he is still more so now.

XEW YORK FASHIONS. Harper'-i Eczaar for this week contains the following hints for the ladies, in regard to the latest styles in vogue : SI AN NEE OF MAKING DRESSES. Corsages are of medium length and round at the waist. Shoulder seams are short and high, defining the slope of the shouldors. The two darts in each front are short bit taken very deep, to make an easy tapering shape. Side seams are directly under tho arm. Forms in the back are stitched on the outside, and are an inch apart at the belt. Open fronts with revers, shawl-shaped surplice with fullness from the shoulders to the belt, square necks, and the broad sailor collar of the dree B mate? rial will be moro worn than ever during the warm weather. The neck of a plain corsage is cat out very low and round if the wearer has a handsome neck, otherwise the high neck and rucho will be most becoming, and will not look old-fashioned. SLEEVES. Sleeves of street drosses are easy-fitting coat-shaped. They have bows at the elbow and broad trimming at tho wrist. Few new dresses aro made with epaulets. ? puff is often placed hali way between the arm hole and elbow. Silks for evening wear and thin muslins have the Maria Theresa sleeved puffed to the elbow and frilled. Long anns require puffs around the sleeves, and tulle under slceves puffed to fill out the frill. Short arms look best in lengthwise puffs. SEXETS. Trained skirts have a flat gored front width, two narrow side gores and two full back breadths. Tho fullness is laid in pleats bo noath the sido scams. Tho back breadths are in French gathers. Five yards is the width of a moderate train to be worn over small cri? noline. Two yards is an extreme length. Silks and poplins of light quality are fined through? out with paper muslin. THE BEE PANNIER AND SASHES. Overakirts to muslin and silk dresses are ari te short and very much puffed np in the back. Tho round pannier puff is not so pretty as the new bee pannier. This has two wings pointed and open to the belt behind, consist? ing of two full widths of silk with a half-width in front of each turned over en revers. A flat sash of many short rounded ends fills up the opening behind, and represents the body of the bec. The pannier is attached to a belt. When made of silk, it should be lined with the contrasting color with which the dress is trimmed. SHORT SUITS. Short suits for tho streets are worn by la? dies of all ages; the stout as well as tho slender. A black silk cosaque, with a short flounced skirt, is the handsomest street suit for a married lady. Stout figures look best in the casaque, or in a short basque with a single skirt, on wh ch tho trimming simulates an upper skirt. The standard length for walking dresses is to have them just escape the ground. They moa sure between three and a half and four yards in width. They are still cu', with flat front, two side gores, and a full back breadth. Care should be taken that there is no fullness io front, to prevent the front width hanging in a fold in tho centre. A USEFUL NOVELTY. Many unsuccessful attempts have been made to combine a long skirt with a short one. At length a plan has been perfected by which a dress w?l answer for a street suit, and may be lengthened to form a train when worn indoors. A model shown us is in black silk, but it will answer quite as well for alpaca or poplin. It is first a short skirt made as usual, with two side gores and trimmed with a wide flounce. A separa te train is then formed of five narrow breadths gathered to the belt, and sewed in the whole length of tho back seam of tho sec? ond gore. This train has a flounce also. When worn in the street the train is caught up to the belt by a loop put half way down each of the back seams, und fastened over two buttons placer?a finger apart on tho belt. TnnmiNOs. A fringe with gimp heading and detached tassels is very stylishly used on capes and basques. Satin is preferred for trimming silks, but modistes advise gros grain for poplins ana woollen goods. It is lighter for summer, and does not fr iv like satin. It is not worth while to say ono is tired of flounces. They were never 30 much worn as at present, and the -e are literally ruffles upon ruffles-Chambray gauze and grenadine suits being trimmed with bias flounces edged with narrow straight frills, giving a peculiarly light appearance. Pique ruffles are made straight and pleated. Striped ruffles look best cut bias. MATERIALS. Glossy and changeable goods are greatly in favor, but the woollen goods with silk face should be avoided, as they fray and fade. A glossy black alpaca, known as the Buffalo brand, is commendable for street wear, as it rejects the dust and retains its .'loss. This alpaca is of a fine, durable blue black, with all the lustre and finish of silk, for which it is an excellent substitute, and is made from the finest long staple wool of the alpaca goat. Serge foulards in all the fashionable cc'.i rs for suits are sold by the yard for $2 50. CRINOLINE. The new crinoline imported by the modistes is merely a bustle with springs over which is a fall of starched Swiss muslin, consisting of two flat gores at the back, with Bide pieces rounding to the belt. The front is entirely open. Six Swiss ruffles, very full and wide, cross tbe baok widths from the edge to the belt. A fluted ruffle surrounds the whole affair. Eight dollars is ashed for the walking length. Twenty dol? lars for a trained skirt. THE OREES BONNET. A novel bonnet called La Grecque shows con? siderable increase in size. It is large enough to fit the head comfortably, and is worn very tar forward. The coronet band of straw stand's an inch back from the edge at right angles with the bonnet. Tho hollow space is filled with lace and flowers. Whon worn over tbe snort frizzed suris, now fashionable on the forehead, it gives tho hoad a classic contour.
