He was laboring under depression caused by pecuniary difficulties. -The Observatore Romano says that Pius IX is now CD gaged in negotiations with Gen eral Grant, with a view to sending a Nuncio to Washington to represent the Court of Rome in the capital of the United States. -The appointment of Mr. Simon Wolf, a wealthy Hebrew of Washington, to be register of deeds for the District of Columbia, an office worth from $5000 to $6000 per annum, was made, it is said, in deforence to that class of our citizens. -A ft w days since several "distinguished" colored men, Lieutenant-Governor Dunn, of Louisiana; ex-President Roberts, of Liberia; Bissett, minister to Hayti; and Downing, of Washington, were entertained at the Union League House in Philadelphia. -The cotton trade at Blackburn, England, is reported to bo ina very depressed condition. N ne mills, including several of the largest, ci v er i rely stopped, and others are running short time. It is stated that the poor law officials are overburthened with applications for relief, and that* the appointment of assist ant relieving officers will be necessary. -Minister Hale having tendered hiB resig nation of the Spanish mission^at the request of the -administration, and tho same having been reoeivodjii>the State Department and ac cepted, twjsiMfUje of confirmation in the Senate of Mry.Sanfora- as his successor, leaves .tho mission vacant. General Sickles, it is positive ly stated, wBrbe appointed by tho President aa minister to Spain to fill the vacancy, and commissioned iu''accordance with the pro vision* of tho amended Ci vii-tenure aot. ..r -TlTe Everett HOUBP arid Metropolitan Hp tel, in New York, . have backed down on the question of receiving colored puesta. The former took in a dark-skinned hunter for quar * tore, and tho latter suffered Lieutonant-Gov ornor Dunn (dun-colored) to grace the regis ter with his name, whereupon he was assigned room, with waiters, to make him at ease n bis inn. These hotels are in a fair way to ncrease their custom in the dark line-if they do not charge too much. But they have set opt in a direction whioh, from the strong prej udices existing in New York, will render a rc " duality of fare inevitable. The Astor bravely 4 tvhda by its resolution, announced with un surpassed brevity, thus : "Impossible." _.The recent senatorial tiff between Spragne, of Rhode Island.and Abbott (carpet-oagger.) of Horth Orrolina, presented some funny peints. '..You see," said Spragae, "Abbott is a Yankee, and ho 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* hore 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 snbmit tamely tb tho affront of Mr. Sprague or any other man. * * * If I were to lie under thia insult my people would torn me oat of the Stat whenever I might show my face there.4* -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 Council of the Church in the United States, which have been already revised and approved by tho 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 preaent were Right Rev. Bishops Lyn ah, of the diocese of Charleston; P rsico, Missionary Bishop in the Southeast; Whelan, of the diocese of Wheeling, Wes tern Virginia; McGill, of Rich mond,'. Virginia; Wood, ot Philadelphia; Domi n e, bl Pittsburg; O'Hare, of Scranton; Shann ah any of Harrisburg; Moller, of Erle, Pennsyl vania; Becker, of Wilmington, Delaware; Gib bons, Vicar Apostolic of North Carolina; the Mitred Abbot, or ho Order of St. Benedict, And Archbishop Spalding, of the archdiocese of Baltimore, Metropolitan of the Province. -Mr. Beecher's latest eccentricity is to take np the cudgel for the practice whioh some persons have of dyeing the hair. The rever end moralist writes to the New York Ledger : "If a man is young, and from some peculiari ty of constitution, or by reason of sickness, is prematurely gray, whether he shall dye his halt or not is a matter of his own. If he will bo the happier for it, let him do it. If his wi'e will love him a ay better, or if she will be made ny happier, in the name of love let him dye. Family happiness is a great blessing to pnr ohase at so small a cost as a bottle of hair dye. Eat is it seemly for an old man to 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 buckish old gentleman of seventy-five, returning every month from his barber with glossy brown ..locks, is not our stylo of manhood. But if he Hfkes it, he might do things far worse. We admire the bravery tn a woman by which, at thirty-five, she carries her looks full of silver. And yet, if her happiness may be promoted by .biding the early gray, we see no reason for criticism.*' -It is estimated that the winnings of Ems, Baden, Wiesbaden, Homburg, and Nauheim, bave amounted since 1800 to sn annual grand total of 17t000,ot0 francs. Of this sum Hom burg, where play goes on all the year round, exempting Sundays and "fete days, (giving s to tal of about 8600 play hours per annum, ) is cred ited with the largest share. The single zero of roulette gives the bank the certainty In the Long run of winning once in thirty-seven coupB half tho money clown. Tho half refait at rougo ot nor tolls still moro against tho player. At Ems, whero two zeroes aud a tull refait are in vogue, tho advautago of tho bank is, of courso, doubled. Making duo allowance for the pos session of capital infinitely greater than that of auy single player, and the power of lim i ting tho sum allowed to be staked to an amount which procludes tho possibility of playing ou the doubling system, known as a martingale, tho advantage of tho bauks over the player may bo stated at four per cent. This, by a Bimplo rulo of-tbroe sum, loads to the startling conclusion that 425,000,000 fraucs are yearly staked in German bolls, of which sum $3.400,000 becomes tho certain prey of Messrs. Blanc, Bcuazet Sc Co. CHARLESTON. WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 28, 180 . Thc War Q,uo*iion. While Cuba and thc 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 long have'warm work, and quite enough of it, nearer home. It ia agreed on all sides that the misunderstanding between France and Belgium, on the subj cet of the interna tional railroad ar d the abrupt cessation of negotiations therefor, has a significance far beyond the intrinsic importanoe of the work which has been the pretext of the quarrel ; and the tone of the foreign press would in dicate the very general conviction that Napoleon is at last disposed to exchange diplomaoy 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 causo 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 between France and Belgium. Ia 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 right in the heart of the country without a moment's warning. Prudential considerations 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, aud the proposal to discuss the question in convention deolined. Here the matter should have ended. If Bolgium did not want a railroad across her boundaries, it was dearly her right to say so ; but the press of Parla started the cry that the "grand nation" had been insult ed, and Napoleon, who doubtless takes the same view of the - se, seems to have made no o ortVo check the growth of this idea in the popular mind. Possibly, he imagines that a disturbance of the general peaoe of Europe would offer an opportunity for France to raise onee mote the question of the "Rhine frontier,** and for this the French nation is at any time ready. Three weeks age the Belgian government sent a special envoy, TA. Frere Orbau, to Paris, to settle the dificuliy, but it seems, that he met with but poor success. Napo leon wanted te refer the matter to a corar mission appointed by the various European powers, but the Belgian Minister insisted that the question was purely an affair of his government, and deolined to submit domestic affairs to foreign arbitration. The oable now announces that the negotiations on the subject have been abruptly broken i off. In a few daya, at furthest, we may expect nows which will deoide the great question of peaoe or war between France and Prussia.' White Immigration. The convention which meetB in Columbia to-day will doubtless be called on to dis cuss the question of immigration, and in entering upon its consideration they will not overlook the important fact that, as long aa the State is in the hands of the ne gro party, all the work must 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 obstacle to commencing opera tions at onoe, nor need it interfere with preparations for the creation cf immigrant agencies in Charleston, ' in New York, afc Literpool, Havre and Bremen, and sub ageneies on the Continent and in Ireland. Money mast be offered as an inducement. For bona fide immigrants a bonus of at least ten dollars per head-man, woman and ohild-should be seoured 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 admi eable to seo irre to the immigrants something like fifty dollars a head to buy seed and imple mente and for shelter and fencing. The State hat no lands to give away, and would I give none, but there are plenty of land owners who would sell the immigrant as muoh as he oould cultivate on a five or ten years' oredit. The 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 ehild) set down at about a thousand dollars a head, to start with. But besides their oapaelty of labor and consumption, a great many of them bring along money, or they have inherit ances in immediate prospect, and the mo ney ia sent to them as they ge on extend ing their operations. If South Carolina is earnestly bent on replaoing the emigrant negro, whose tendenoy is farther south ward, by the white, hard-working immi grant, her people have to take ia hand this matter largely and generously; and if there is anything that will pay a hundred, nay, a thousand-fold, it will he the sid that may be given to secure the white immigrant. Reducing things te figures, always the most practically demonstrative and persua sive, and sailing eaeh immigrant-man, wo man and ehild-to be worth $1000 to begin with, with proper .exertion now and State aid hereafter, we may attract, on an aver age, ten thousand human beings per annum during thc next ten years, representing an annual gain to tho State of $10,000,000. The real estate appreciation in Charles ton and all over the State would be just as sudden and extraordinary as it was in Cali fornia in 1850, and ns has been again the oase in the Mission "Dolores" near San Francisco quito 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 au 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 sido ol intelligence and honesty, and not with the party which, in thia State, at least, has nc higher aim than place and prout. With Cuba converted into a St. Domingo or Ja maioa, 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 Eist India possessions any day, and the rest of Eu rope, will then be more dependent on our produoe 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 shall not South Carolina stand in the front rank? Tne State Debt. The return of the State debt, published in detail a few days ago, shows that the only ohange 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 $1,083,900 in ex change for funded bills of the Bank of the State. This brings the. total State debt, including arrears of interest, to $6,370,997. Tbis debt the State can pay, and we a7e glad to see 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.

YOU BIGHT TO INSURE IN THE CHARLESTON BRANCH LIFE ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA, FOR THE FOLLO WINO REASONS : 1st. Because it is a hom Institution in each State. It is m -lunged and controlled by your own citizen . When you insure in the Association you know the ? men with whom you ara dealing. 2d. Because it is the only moored institution of the kiud in tho Unlt d States that loans its funds iu tbe States from wbich they are derived. 3d. Because it ie a purely mutual society, in which all policy holders have a voto ia the election ot its directors, and each share i u it profits or earn ings. Ito large and increasing assets belong exclu sively to the policy holden?. 4th. Because its rates are lower than thoso of most other sound and reliable companies. And because its dividends wUl be larder.. 5th. Becuuso it invents its funds at high rates of Interest (averaging ten per cent.) while Eastern com panies invest at low rates of interest (averaging less than seven per cent) This makes the dividends of the Associ t'on mnch lamer and the rates of pre. minni smaller. One hundred dollars improved at six por cent, for fifty j ours will amount to $1,842 01 The same amount invented for the same time at ton per cont, will produce 811,739 09. Difference in fivor of the ten per rout, investment $9 807 08. This seems incredible, but caleula to it, or refer to a com pound Interest table, and you will find lt correct. 6th. Because you ought to insure ina-succcssful in stitution, and tho Lite Association of Amone; is ac knowledged by ah parties-its rivals and enemies as well as its friends and supporters-to bc by far tho most successful Ufo insurance institution of its age io the United States.
