The Astor bravely ,1 JStL-'nds by its resolution, announced with un? I ] Surpassed brevity, thus : "Impossible." \ _The recent senatorial tiff between Sprague, ] of Bhode Island.and Abbott,(oarpet-oagger,V of ( North Crrolina, presented some funny peints. jMYou see," said Sprague, "Abbott is a Yankee, ' and bo is sharp enough to know that it would '* not do for him to go back to North Carolina < after having been called a 'puppy dog' here in < the Senate without some show at what they < call ohivalry in the South. Why, the vary ne- , groes down there would not speak to him." *The people of my State," said Abbott, "would think very strangely of me were I to submit tamely to the affront of Mr. Sprague or any other man. * * * If I were to lie under this insult my people would turn me out of the State whenever I might show my face there/' -The tenth Provincial Council of Baltimore, convened to deliberate on matters of Roman Catholic discipline in the province, and chiefly to consider the most effectual means of carrying into execution the decrees of the Second Plenary Connoil of the Church in the United States, which have been already revised and approved by the Holy See, was formally opened on Sun? day-the Feast of St. Mark-at the Metropoli? tan Church, in that city, in the presence of a congregation crowding the Cathedral to its utmost capacity. Among the prelates present were Bight Rev. Bishops Lynsb, of the dioeeae of Charleston; P?rsico, Missionary Bishop in the Southeast; Whelan, of the diocese of Wheeling, Western Virginia; McGill, of Bloh raond,'Virginia; Wood, of Philadelphia; Domi? n?e, of Pittsburg; O'Hare, of Scranton; Shann? ah an> of Harrisburg; Muller, of Erle, Pennsyl? vania; Becker, of Wilmington, Delaware; Gib? bons, Vicar Apostolic of North Carolina; the Mitred Abbot, of tho Order of St. Benedict, and Archbishop Spalding, of the archdiocese of Baltimore, Metropolitan of the Province. -Mr. Beecher's latest eccentricity is to take ap the cudgel for the practice which some persons have of dyeing the hair. The rever? end moralist wriieB to the New York Ledger : "If a man is young, and from sorbo peculiari? ty of constitution, or by reason of sickness, is prematurely gray, whether he shall dye his hair or not is a matter or his own. If he will be the happier for it, let him do it. If his wi'e will love hun say better, or if she will be made any happier, in the name of love let him dye. Family happiness is a great blessing to pur? chase at so small a cost as a bottle or hair dye. Pat is it seemly for an old manto pot on the appearance of youth, and not to meet hts fate bravely ? This is a question of good taste. For ourselves, we prefer gray hairs. A bookish old gentleman of seventy-five, returning every month from his barber with glossy brown locks, is not oar stylo of manhood. But if he Mikes it, he might do things far worse. We admire the bravery in ? woman by -which, at thirty-five, she carries her loch? foll of silver. And yat, if her happiness may be promoted by .hiding the early gray, wa soe no reason for criticism." -It is estimated that the winnings of Ems, Baden, Wiesbaden, Homburg, and Nauheim, have amounted since 1800 to an annual grand total of 17,000,0*) francs.

Tho half refait at rouge et nor telle still moro against tho player. At Ema, where two zeroes and a tull refait are in vogue, tho advantage of tho bank ia, of course, doubled. Making due allowance for the pos session of capital infinitely greater than that oi any single player, and the power of limiting the sum allowed to be staked to an amount which precludes the possibility of playing OD thc doubling system, known as a martingale, the advantage of the banks over the player may bc stated at four per cent.

While Cuba and the Alabama olaims keep the people of the United States on the OMI 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 long haye' warm work, and quite enough ol it, nearer homo. It is agreed on all Bidet that the misunderstanding between France and Belgium, on the subject of the interna tional railroad and the abrupt cessation ol negotiations therefor, has a significance fai beyond the infringi importance of the work whioh has been the pretext of the quarrel ; and the tone of the foreign press would in dicate the very general oonviotion that Napoleon is at last disposed to exohange 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 of 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 betwoen France and Belgium. In 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 of 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 tight in the heart of the country without a moment's warning. Prudential consid rations demanded that Belgium should be cautious and not afford her pow erful neighbor any such facilities for war and invasion. The negotiations between the railway companies were, therefore, prompt ly boken off, and the proposal to discuss the question in convention declined. Here the matter should have ended. If Belgium did not want a railroad across her boundaries, it was dearly her right to say so ; but the press of Paris started the cry that the grand nation" had been insult ed, and Napoleon, who doubtleas takes the same view. of. the c se> soema to have made no eli or LVO check the growth of this idea in the popular mind. Possibly, ho imagines that a disturbance of tho general peaoe of Europe would offer an opportunity for France to raise once mero the question of the "Rhine frontier," and for this the. French nation is at any tisse ready. Throe weeks age the Belgian government Sent a special envoy, M. Frere Orban, to Pavia, to settle tho difficulty, bnt it seems thai he met with bnt poor success. Napo leon wanted to refer tho matter to a eonu mission appointed by the various European powers, but tho 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. In a few days, at furthest, we may expeot news whioh will dooide the groat question of peace or war between France and Prussia. Wilt ic Immigration. The contention whioh meets in Columbia to-day will doubtless be called on to dis cuss the question of immigration, and in entering upon ita consideration they will not overlook the important fact that, as long as the State is in tho hands of tho ne gro party, all the work must be done by tho 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 tho creation of immigrant ; agencies in Charleston* in New York, at Liverpool, Havre and Bremen, and suh agenoiesoa the Continent and in Ireland. Money most bo offered as an inducement, For hana fide immigrants a bonus of at least ten dollars per head-man, woman and child-should be secured to the agents to whom they aro traceable, to be paid, of course, only after tho immigrants shall have been settled on tho lands for two years at least. It might also be admissable to secure to tho immigrants something like fifty dollars a hoad to buy seed and imple ments asid for shelter and fencing. The State has no lands to give away, and wonid I give none, bnt there aro plenty of land owners who would sell the immigrant as much as he could cultivate on a five or to years' credit. Tho value of a white immigrant who either settles down on land and improves it, or who is a plain mechanic or laboring man, may be (man, woman and ohild) set dow at about a thousand dollars a head, to start with. But besides their capacity of labor and consumption, a groat many of them bring along money, or they have inherit ances ia Immediate prospect, and the mo ney is sent to thom as they go oft extend ing their operations If South Carolina is earnestly bant on replacing tho emigrant negro, whose tendency ie further south ward, by tho white, hard-working immi grant, Tier people have to Uk in hand this matter largely and generously5 ad it? there is nay thing that will pay a hundred, nay, a tbousond-fold, it will be the aid that may bo given to secure the white immigrant. Reducing things to figures, always tho most practically demonstrative and persua sive, and calling each immigrant-man, wo man sad ehil&-~to bo worth $1000 to begin * s with, with proper .exertion now and State aid hereafter, we may attract, on an aver age, ten thousand human beings per annum luring the next ten years, representing an annual gain to the State of $10,000,000. Tue real estate appreciation in Charles ton and all over the Stato would be just as sudden 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 politioal motive that should inspire us to strive vigorously for an increase 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 side of intelligence and honesty, and not with the party which, in this State, at least, has no higher aim tuan plaoe and profit. With Cuba oouverted into a St. Domingo or Ja maica, the Southern States will not only be the great cotton, tobacco and oom produ cers, but sugar producers to boot, and England, which may lose her E&st India possessions any day, and the rest of Eu rope, will then be more dependent on oar produoe than they ever have been previous to the war. If ever there was a groat and brilliant destiny carved out by Providence* for a country, oertainly it is ours. And shall not South Carolina stand in the front rank ? The State Dent. 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 $1,088,000 in ex change for funded bills of the Bank of the State. This brings th total State debt, including arrears of interest, to $0,375,997. This debt the State oan pay, and we are glad to ses that provision has been made fer 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.
