Provincial Council of Baltimore, ?fl?TOaeA to deliberate-on mattera of Borgan eflaftcBc discipline in; the province, and chiefly to consider the most effectual means of carrying lato execution tbe decrees of the Second Plenary Cbuooil of the Chiuch in the United States, Which have been already revised and approved by th?' Holy See, was formally opened on Sun .day-the Eexst of Ht. Maxk-at the Metropoli ?Ito' Church ; in that city, in the presence of a congregation crowding the Cathedral to ita utmost capacity: Among the prelates present were Bight'Rtv. Bishops Lyn:h, of the diocese "of Charleston; P?rsico, Missionary Bishop ia the Southeast; ?Whelan, of the diocese of ^Wheelmg, Western Virginia;-McGill, of Bich 'mood,'.Virginia; Wood, of rhiladelphia; Dorai -nee, of Pittsburg; O'Haro, of Scranton; 8haun ahas, of Harrisburg; Muller, of Erie, PeunsyU ?aB?;-Becker, of Wilmiogton, Delaware; Gib? bons, Vicar Apostobo of North Carolina; the Mitred Abbot, of the Order of St. Benedict, -and Archbishop Spalding, of the archdiocese ' of Baltimore, Metropolitan of the Province. -Mr. Beecher's latest eccentricity is to take up the cadge! for the practice which some persons have of dyeing the hair. The rever? end moralist writes to the New York Ledger : ?.Tf a man is young, and irom some peculiari ty of coustitution, or by reasou of sickness, is prematurely gray, whether he shall dye his hair or uot is a matter of his own, If he will be the happier for it, let him do it. JJ bis. wi'e will love him any better, or if ehe will be made any happier, in the name of love let him dye. Ifcmily happiness is a great blessing to pur? chase at so email a coat as a bottle of hair dye. But ia it seemly tot ac old maa to put on the appearance of youth, and not to meet his fate bravely ? This is a questiou of good taste. For ourselves, we prefer gray hairs. A buckish 'Ora geutlemau of seveoty-five, returning every month from bis barber with glossy brown .Moke, janot oar style of manhood. Bat if he likes it, he might do tbiDgs far worse. We admiro the bravery ia a woman by which, at ;thirty-nve, she carries her locks full of silver. And yet, if her happiuess may be promoted by hiding the early gray, we see no reason for criticism." -It is estimated that the winnings of Ems, Baden, Wiesbaden, Homburg, and Nauheim, have amounted since 1860 to aa annual grand total of 17,000,000 francs. Of this sam Hom? burg, where play goes on-all the year round, exceptiug Suodays aod fete days, (giving a tc til of about 8600 play hours per annum, ) is cred? ited with the largest share. The single aero of roulette gives ?he bank the certainty ia tho THE long mn of winning onco in thirty-seven coups half thc money down. The half i efait at rouge ct nor tells still more against the player. At Ems, where two zeroes aud a tull refait are in %vogue, tho advantage of tho bank is, of course, doubled. Making due allowance for the pos? session ot capital infinitely greater than that of any single player, and the power of limiting the sum allowed to be staked to an amount which precludes the possibility of playing on the doubling system, known as a martingale, the advantage of the banks over che player may bc stated at four per cent. This, by a simple rule of-three sum, leads to the startling conclusion that 425,000,000 francs are yearly staked in German hells, of which sum $8.400,000 becomes the certain prey ot Messrs. Blanc, Benazet & Co. _I "CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY, MORNING, APRIL 28, 1869. Tbe War Question. While Cuba and the Alabama claims keep the people of the United States on the qui vive for a war with one or more of the Pow? ers of Europe, there are signs that some, at least, of those- same Powers will before lang have warm work, and quite enough of it, nearer home. It is agreed on all sides that the misunderstanding between France and Belgium, on the subject of the interna? tional railroad and the abrupt cessation of negotiations therefor, has a significance far beyond the intrinsic importance, of the work wai eb has been the pretext of the quarrel ; and the tone of the foreign press wonld in? dicate the very general conviction that Napoleon is at last disposed to exchange diplomacy for the sword, and that the long expected struggle for the mastery between France and Prussia is about to begin. --The'-Belgian railroad difficulty, the ostensible..cause'cf dispute, it will be re? membered, originated in the refusal of Belgium to permit the ratification of a con? tract between the railway companies of Luxemburg and east France, for the estab? lishment of through communication between France and ' Belgium. lu a commercial point of view, the construction of - an inter? national railroad would have been of vast benefit to both powers, more particularly to Belgium; but the government 0f. that State, saw fit to regard it as rather a.hazardous and unprofitable experiment, inasmuch as it afforded Napoleon an opportunity to plant an army right in the heart of the country without a moment's warning. Prudential considerations demanded that Belgium, should bo cautious and not afford her pow? erful neigh Sor any such facilities for war and invasion. The negotiations -bet ween the. railway companies vf ere, therefore, prompt? ly boken off, and the proposal to discuss the question in convention declined. Here the matter shou!d have ended. If Belgium did not want a railroad across her boundaries, it was clearly her right to say so ; but the press of Paris started the cry that the "grand nation" hod been insult? ed, and Napoleon, who doubtless takes the same view of the case, seems to have made no effort io-che ok the growth of this idea in the popular mind. Possibly, he imagines that a disturbance of the general peaoe of Europe would offer au opportunity for c rance io xiUB?ronce moic U?C (?ucauoir ur' the "Rhine frontier," and for this the French nation is at any time ready. Three weeks age the Belgian government sent a special envoy, M. Frere Orban, to Paris, to settle the difficulty, but it seams that he met with bat poor success. Napo? leon wanted to refer the matter to a com? mission appointed by .the various European powers, but the Belgian Minister insisted that the question was purely an affair of his government, and declined to submit domestic affairs to foreign arbitration. The oable now announces that the negotiations on the subject have been abruptly broken off. ; Ia a few days,* at furthest, we may expect news - which will decide the great question of peace or war between Franoe and Prussia. Waite Immigration. . The convention which meets in Columbia to-day will doubtless be called on to dis? ease the question of immigration, aud tn entering apon its consideration they will not overlook the important fact that, as long as the State is in the hands of the ne? gro party, all the work, mu?t be done by the white people of South Carolina, without any expectation of assistance from the State government. This need not be an in? superable obstaole to commencing opera? tions at once, nor need it interfere with preparations for the creation of immigrant agencies in Charleston, in New York, at Liverpool, Havre and Bremeo, and sub agencies on the Continent and in Ireland. Money must be offered as an inducement. For bona fide immigrants a bonus of at least ten dollars per head-man, woman and child-should be secured to the agents to whom they are traceable, to be paid, of course, only after the immigrants shall have been settled on the lands for two years at least. It might also be admissable to secure to the immigrants something like fifty dollars a head to buy seed and imple? ments and for shelter and fencing. The State has no lands to give away, and would give none, but there are plenty of land? owners who would sell the immigrant as much as he could cultivate on a five or ten years' credit. The value of a white immigrant who either settles down on land aad improves it, or who is a plain mechanic or laboring man, may be (man, woman and child) Bet dowa at about a thousand dollars a head, to start with. Bat besides their capacity of labor aad consumption, a great macy of them briug along mouey, or they have inherit ances in immediate prospect, and the mo? ney is sent to them as they go on extend? ing their operations. If South Carolina is earnestly bent on replacing the emigrant negro, "hose tendency is further south? ward, by the white, hard-working immi? grant, her people have to toke ia hand this matter largely and generously; aud if th are is auythiug that will pay a huadred, uay, a thousand-fold, it will be the aid that may be given to secure the white immigrant. Reducing things to figures, always the moat practically demonstrative aad persua? sive, ac? calling each immigrant-man, wo? man and child-to be worth $1000 to b'-gin CHARLESTON DAILY with, with proper exertion now and State aid hereafter, wo may attract, on an aver? age, ten thousand human beings per annum during the next ten years, representing an annual gain to the State of $10,000,000. The real estate appreciation in Charles? ton and all over the State would be just as Budden and extraordinary as it was in Cali? fornia in 1850, and as has been again the case in the Mission "Dolores" near San Francisco quite recently, when real estate there improved ten-fold in ten months. But there is a deeper moral and political motive that should inspire us to strive vigorously for an inorease of white strength. Every white immigrant will add to the power of the industrious and sober citizen. Each one will cast his vote on the Bide of | intelligence and honesty, and not with thc party which, in this State, at least, has no higher .aim than place and profit. With Cuba converted into a St. Domingo or Ja? maica, the Southern States will not only be the great, cotton, tobacco and corn produ? cers, but sugar producers to boot, and England, whioh may lose her East India possessions any day, and the rest of Eu? rope, will then be more dependent on our produce than they ever have been previous to the war. If ever there was a great and brilliant destiny carved out by Providence for a country, certainly it is ours. And Bhall not South Carolina stand jp the front rank? ? The State Debt. The return?of the State debt, published in detail a few days ago, shows that the only change of figures, since the presentation of | the report of the Comptroller-General made in October last, arises from the issue of | bonds to the amount of $1,033,900 in ex? change for funded bills of the Bank of the State. This brings the total State debt, including arrears of interest, to $0,87-5,997 This debt the State can pay, and we are glad to see that provision has.been mada for the payment. of the interest due in July. But if we. wish to keep the debt within reasonable bounds and avoid a ruinous rate of taxa? tion, we must scrutinize every new project for bleeding the Treasury, and prevent the Legislature from making gifts of the public money for any purpose whatever. ^(?ignra, tabarra, &r.
