It will pass under tho gas and water J pipes, so a9 not to interfere with them. _At the aonaal meeting of the National Board of Underwriters in New York on Wed? nesday, a discussion occurred, without action, upon a proposition looking to a reduction of commissions to agents. An ordinance to reg? ulate storage and the sale of petroleum, gaso ieae, Ac, was adopted, which fixes the tests of places so used at one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit. -General Grant, ainco bis inauguration as President, bas made the following appoint? ments of colored mon: Postmaster at Colum? bia, S.

To this appeal Mr. Dickens bas accoded, and will give three morning readings ia London. -With tbe other advances of tho day in rail? road travel, must bo noted an arrangement .which has just been completed for through trains between New York and New Orleans. The only change of cars on this whole trip will be at Louisville, which is very nearly a half? way point. The through time will be seventy six hours. Sleeping-cars are to run on all trains, and berths or sections may bo secured for the whole trip. A* most seasons of tho year the difference of climate between tbe ter? minal points of this immense line will require passengers to provide for a cb ange of clothing during the journey. -It is stated, semi-officially, that the re? ceipts from customs now promise to be tho largest of any one year in the history of the government-reaching probably $190,000,000. .or $20,000,000 in excess of the estimates, and it is not impossible that they may even reach tbs high figure of $200,000,000. The internal revenue receipts to the present time are in ex? cess of $110,000,000. The remaining three mouths, till July, will cover the greater tiou of thc income tax and thc special 1 which fall due May 1, and which will augi the receipts to $150,000,000, and possib SICO.OCO.OOO. -It is said that when the character ot Ciiaudler's speech was expiai Qed to Mr. Tl i ton, the British Minister, he laughed ecor ly and exclaimed, ' Pshaw ! very good sp to tickle Yankeo Doodle's vanity, but not more it it. Fox et protcrea nihil. Ami can't afford to i,o to war with us, you k and we shan't be fr'ghteuod by threats of kind." He is also credited with the ren that the Chandler speech will be a God-ser tho Tory party at home, as they will bc to coDBirue it as a menace; which the pari power will be called upon to resent, or bear tho odium of submitting to it. In event, it will enswer to inflame the pop foeling, and put the day of settlement far away than over. CHARLESTON. SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 18< New Channels of Trade. The New York Bpring trade has not t nearly as active as it was expected to and the commercial press of that city endeavoring to figure out the exaot ca of the disappointment. The Southern tr was less than was expected, while the V is so crippled by the shrinkage in gi and the failure to realize upon the bull last season's crop, that the traders of I section have been unable to meet their ligations with the usual promptitude, there is another solution of the ma that the New Yorkers seem to admit ? some reluctance, since it foreshadows a ] manent loss of trade to their oily. Thi explained by a Washington paper to be success! cl effort of the Western jobbert establish a direot trade with foreign co tries. The result of this movement is coming more apparent each season. ?8 trade of the interior centres increases, merchants of the principal distribut markets find it profitable to import themselves, and it is simply a question time as to when the great cities of the Wt now demanding to be made ports of ent will distribute most of their imported go from their own centres, instead of payi tribute to the seaport markets and the i merous railroads. Many kinds of W India, South American and European p ductious, which were lately drawn fr New York, now seek their destiualion the Southern ports. The opening of t Pacific Railroad must tend to revolution the Asiatic trade, causing thc goods China and India to reach the Western oit via San Francisco instead of New Yoi To these movements must be added '. growth of manufactures in the interii and the increasing competition offered all the old centres of commerce on the -J lantic coast. Portland and Boston vie wi New York for the trade of Canada and I Northwest. Philadelphia and Baltimo contend with her for the trade of the Wc and Southwest. Charleston and Norfo will be formidable competitors, as th? direct steamship lines become more num rous and their railroad connections with t West and Southwest are completed. New York will doubtless always contim to bo the leading city of the Atlantic coat but will hardly be able to maintain tl overshadowing supremacy of the past. The Cap Which Cheers. The New York Tribune haw found o that the climate and soil of the South a admirably adapted to the culture of the ti plant; and the New York Shipping ai Commercial List says : - "Samples of the leaves of the Youi "Hyson Tea plant have been received fro "the plantation of Captain Campbell, Eno: "ville, Tenn. The plants were obtain; "through the Agricultural Department : "Washington, in 1858, grew well, and ha' "attained a size of .from six to eight fee "From the experiments made in Tennesse "it seems that the eastern part of th, "State is well fitted for the growth of thi "plant." This is doubtless thought to be a w onde rf ? discovery; and Mr. Greeley who, if he ma be believed, understands Southern fannie and planting better than men who ha\ practiced it all their lives, will be surprise to learn that tea-raising in the South is n novelty. A Mr. Smith commenced the cu tivation of tea many years ago near Colun bia in this State, and was very success!"u The example was followed by many other: Dr. Acee, of Talbot County, Ga., ha? bee at the business for many years, and tl plant is still grown, though not to any grei extent. The fact is that the tea plant may I easily raised anywhere in the South.. It j a hardy, vigorous evergreen, bears a beat tiful blossom and makes a very handsom ornament for the garden. With a little car and attention any one may have all th varieties of tea, for they all come from th same bush, the difference being in thc tim of getting the 'eaves, and have better te than such as is adulterated by the Celes tials, or the Yankees who im; rt what one was a luxury, but what has become a ne ceasity to almost every family. We may b for awhile Sec md Chop in politics, but i we like we can have at once First Chop tea IT IS reported that Dr. M. H. Collins is i candidate for the office of Appraiser of thi Port of Charleston, and has been recom mended by one of the senators and three o the representatives in Congress fron South Carolina. What his qualification! may be in the eyes of Congress and ol President Grant we do not know; but we dc know that Collins is repudiated by both Dem? ocrats and Republicans here, and only ee capes having a bad character by having nc character a' all. Mr. Parker, the present ap? praiser, ie not known to us personally; but we understand that a request that he may be retained has been generally signed by the leading importing houses in the city. THE BennettBvi'le Journal, in view of what it regards as the extremely uncertain status of the negro bond question, advices its readers to hurry up and compromise debts of that character on the basis of twenty-five cents on the dollar, in all cases where each a settlement is possible. Reviews. EEiiixiscExcn." OF FELIX MENDELSSOHN BAR? THOLDI*. A Social and Artistic Biography. L, Elise Polite. Translated by Lady Wal? lace. With additional letters addressed to English correspondons. Kew York : Loypoldt &Holt. 18(19. Charleston : John Russel). This is an artistic biography only so far as it narrates thc manner in which the musical works of Mendelssohn were composed and produced, no attempt beiog made to gire tech? nical analyses of his compositions or to trace in hard lines thc plan of his professional life. His varied compositions are treated as being a part ot' tho man, not as an accident or an ex? crescence, developing the idea that they who know not his music know not Mendelssohn, and that to those who know not Mendelssohn his music is unknown. Tho story 's one of touching affection, earnest friendship and de: voted love, with strains of the master's melo? dy running through the whole, to form the simple, enthusiastic and large-hearted man whom tho world knows as Mendelssohn. No ono can read this book without knowing bet? ter, and admixing more, the author of St. Paul and Elijah, the Songs Without Words, and tho fairy music of Midsummer Night's Di earn; and the heart would be cold, indeed, that could blame an enthusiasm which bocomcs some? what monotonous iu bestowing a praise so honorably won. The translation is a good one, although the womanly italic is not sparingly used, and the book is well bound and clearly printed on tinted paper. ?O?nts.
