THE DAILY NEWS. Tte Voice of Grief O rugged, toilsome path cf thorns and briers, Of weary, bleeding feet Peopled with shadows of unreaped desires, And pleasures incomplete I Land of uncnangiag sorrow for the dead, And cl tterne-8 of life. Where noble lives by cruel hands are shed, To win the field of strife ; Where Pain eternal, like the Alpine snows. Crowned above men and kings, Broods dark as night, and from ber bosom throws Her arrows sad her stings ! Shall the sweet breath of Summer sweep the earth. And make it smile with flowers. Tet leave to man the pestilential dearth Of ev? r- withering powers ? Behold how Sorrow, wandering through the world, Weeps passionate te rs of blood, And Charily upon the stones is hurled, Crying aloud for good : The voice of Grief pierces the Silent Land, Whsre victory ls won Ia there no haven past Time's dangerois strand.

Oats is the only crop, so far as we ?an learn, thai in looking backward, and there is yet ample time fes it to come out. Wheat has generally a fine and flourishing appear? ance. A large proportion of the corn crop bas been planted, and the stand reported is very lair.

Mr. William Lewis died at his residence near Sumter, on Thursday last, in the seventy second year of his age. At the period of his death Hr. Lewis was the taoumbent of the of? fice et?

' Chariest en and Savannah have been com - meroal centres for the sale of tbe rice crops of South Caroona and Oeorgia for at loaat a cen? tury. Both these citiee have drawn a hand SWBWf rapport frons the rice growers of the two States, and many factors have grown rich apon tanamee derived almost exclusively from this source. As bruin?es centres their established local osages have hither to, governed entirely in the sab of this particular grain. These local cost?me, with buyers and sellers, have had the influence of common law. Th ay have been considered the kxlooCuad, as soon, have ex eroissd tho force and dignity of the tat scripta; and merchants and factors hare conformed thereto without reference to the looa! customs of other cities or large commercial centres, tastes they have conformed to o th ar usuagee cunaring in Charleston from those of New York, Boston or Kew Orleans. Iihas bot recently been discovered that a charge for the tierces in which rice is sold is prejudicial io tho commerce of Charleston. Strange that a custom which has obtained for one hundred yean Should jost at this particu? lar time prora a clog to the City of Charles toe, More strange that the rice buyers should ndw find it necessary to combine together and positively refuse to purchase if their demands are not complied with, vis: if the factors de? cline io give them the tierces in which the rice is seid. Each tierce costs the planter $150, which mast be given away to secure a purchas? er of his rice; for all the buyers are committed as a league to stand by this strike against the planter. The factor, as agent, has either to succumb or ship under instructions to anoth? er market, No matter at ?hat cost to the poor straggling plaiter, the commerce of Charleston requires the fostering care of a new? ly fledged Board of Trade, whioh it would seem is ready to ara v the very life-blood of the poor rice-grower, bat is bund to the discrepancy in the rates of commissions in Charleston as j compared with those of Northern and Western cities. There was a time wheo (his strike of | the noe buyers would have been met summari ? ty by tue planters themselves, and their factors would scarcely have hesitated as to their du tv, acting solely as agents in the premises. Formerly, with a crop of thousands of tierces from une particular section or neighborhood ia the bands of the growers, such a combina? tion among the boyera could not possibly Lav J been effected. They know full well that it would hare driven nearly every tierce from Char lasten to other markets, and that the in? terests of tbs city would have been compro? mised by roch action. Bat now that the plan? ter is not livrer, bat barely breathing, Iring prostrate and dependent for the small means necessary to carry on his planting operations, bis factor top poor to back him against this lnnovaWcm, the blow is struck, and he has to pve up one hundred and fifty dollars on every hundred tierces of rice sent to the Charleston market, or lose the privilege of a sale. To talk about paying more for the rice if tha tierce is thrown in for nothing, is idle, for no one be? lieves it. Doubtless the foll effect of thia change has been well considered by th iso who suggested it. At first it was a mere suggestion from the rice buyers tu the rice lactoia. Nothing was positively determined upon, and bv some it was hinted that the success of the movement was dependent chiefly upon the mill owners of Charleston. There was little fear that the planters could or would combine against it. Possibly the interests of the city had found antagonism in the pounding mills of the country, and that more rough rice was neces? sary for the city mills. The pinn ter who ob? jected to paying one dollar and fifty cents to the millers for tierces, had the option ot selling In the rough, and the millers who do make a profit on their barrels could very well afford to Jose something for s monopoly in pound-"g. Bat, be this as it may, it is pretty we . estab? lished that, with present indebtedness to fae tors in Charleston, toe growing crop cannot j very welt be shipped elsewhere. This estab? lished, and the new system fairly inaugurated, ao reaction is likely to benefit the planter. The Chambea* of Commerce have taken tbe hovers upon their shoulders, and, thoa mounted, their card is ont positively declining, afcei toe 1st of May next, to purchase any rice where a charge is made for the tierces. Tho aoti >n of the Chamber is a mere expression of opinion, and may be considered advisory-tbe action of the nee merchants is uncompromising and scmpulsory. Have the factors , nothing to say in the matter? Do the plan era acquiesce, cr I ? have they no right to a voice ? These are ques- j a tion8 propounded with great deference and re? spect for the intelligence and personal charac? ter of those thus prominent in looking after the interests of the commercial community of the City of Charleston. Tho first chief reason given for the proposed change (in a former card) was because "tbe rice sellers of New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, St. Louis, Chicago and all other large business centres do not charge for tierces," ic. Charleston is the .chief centre for lice, and so far as this article is concerned, usages established for sales in her irarket aro just as binding aa tho usages of omer business cen? tres witb other marketable pr ducts. For a century tho charges for the tierces have been eustaitod. li she is to be controlled by the usages of other cities in this particular, why not maU others? Let thero be a general un? derstanding and concurrence betweon all the Boards of Trade and Commerce. Let there be no local, but one general la? of trade. Let the fore be uniform-either ten per cent, or the actual weight of each sample barrel; the commissions for buying anr* selling in Charles? ton is just what they are in New York and Bos? ton, and see that New Orleans and Baltimore correspond. As I said before sweep clean, lt is agreed by the buyers to abolish the draft of of four pounds to tbe tierce. This should hare been done long aero, lt is but right and just, but it is a small matter compared with the tierces. It is too small a but to pacify now, when but a year ago that same Chamber of Commerce sustained the allowance against a planter who demurred, on the' ground that it waa an old and established custom, which they could see no good rea ion for abolishing. Gentlemen may' undertake to direct trade so that no prejudice shall arise to tbe commer? cial interests of Charleston. In doing so I simply beg to remind them that if the plant? ing interests fail, the commercial p o peri ty of Chark eton perishes necessarily. Retaliatory mensures are always to be avoided if possible; and witb no threatening spirit do I make this demur on behalf of the planter. But if tbe Northern and Western markets will net more ready money to the planter for his crop, I speak advisedly when I say that there are some who will seek those markets without the aid or advice of a Charleston factor. Tn??>WATE3. A FAMOUS PUJO. OF THE NOSE. Death, of a Remarkable Man-Fifty Tears of Persecution-Life of One of the virginia Randolph a-He Pulla Gene jral Jackson's Nose- Why the Rose was Palled. Two hundred and fifty-six years ago this month, Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, was married to John Rolfe, at Jamestown, Va. Bbe died in England in Marou, four years after her marriage, leaving one son, who returned to Virginia to reside, and there left descend? ants, among whom was John Randolph, of Roanoke. Robert B. Randolph, cousin of John, died at bia residence on the corner of Four and-a-half and C streets, Washington, on the morning of the 20th inst., at the age of 78. He was the man who tweaked the nose of An? drew Jackson, Old Hickory being then Presi? dent of the United States. The palling took place in the cabin of a steamer which stopped at Alexandria on its passage down the river. 'Randolph went aboard, marched up to Jackson, who supposed he was confronted by a friend till the thing was done. Randolph got beyond the jurisdiction of the county police before a process could be issued, and escaped arrest. The scene when Jackson found himself with a pulled nose is described by those who Baw it as one of stupendous rage. The cities of the District of Columbia were in a foam over the indignity, and the whole coun? try, in fact, was for a. time in a tempest, the triumphant Jackson party feeling that its own nose had been twisted by this audacious de? scendant of Pocahontas. General Van Ness, then Mayor of Washington, sent a solemn message to the Councils on tbe event, and the condolence and indignation. ' '?????..?? **?> No wonder that Randolph had to dodge ' i place to place for two years to avoid ai Finally, lt is reported that an officer now living, wai. authorized to inform Randolph that if liu would apologize for bis insult to the President, he would be reinstated. This Randolph de? clined to do until the President bad first apol? ogized. It is hardly necessary to say that no apology came. After twenty-three years of service in the navy, and much gallant conduct, Randolph without mnob property, and without a profession, was turned adrift apon ?he world. During the administration of Jamos Buchanan, John B. Floyd, then Secretary of War, gave Randolph the position of Superintendent of J the Apuorv io Washington; but he only held the place a'short time, as Buchanan hearing of the appointment, ordered it to be revoked for reasons best known to bimeelf. The origin of the trouble between Jackson and Randolph was this : Some few years ago, it will be remembered, a person named Bou gan im eloped from New York with the prop? erty and niece of his wife, whom be bad then recently married; tbe forsaken wife was once the wife of General Eaton, Secretary of War to General Jackson; and prior to that the wife of one Timberlake, who died a-parser in the United States navy. On the death of Timber lake, Randolph, who was then a lieutenant in the navy, was appointed to act temporarily as purser in his place. He found his accounts in a mixed condition and a deficiency existing against him. Before he had a chance to settle his accounts, Mn. T. became the wife of Gen? eral Eaton, Secretary of War, who was also surety for Jaar former husband. It became apparently of interest to both that the defi? ciency charged should be shifted to other shoulders than those of the dead purser. An attempt was made to carry ont such a scheme with Randolph as the victim. Randolph asked for a court of inquiry, which being granted, he was cleared ot all suspicion by its report. But, nevertheless, President Jackson ordered his dismissal from the navy. Not long after this, while Old Hickory was passing down tho Potomac on a steamer, in front of Alexandria, and daring a pause of the boat at that place. Randolph came on board and deliberately and most effectually wrung the nose of his Excel? lency. Randolph entered the navy at about the age of sixteen, and bad command of a division on tbe quarter deck of the frigate Constitution under Decatur, in her action with and the cap? ture of the British frigate macedonian. He was also iu the President when that ship was 1 captured by theT3udymion and other British vessels, and was carried a prisoner to London, where he cowhided a British officer for using contemptuous language concerning America. A brother of his went down with the sloop Wasp, which sunk at sea after her fight with a line-of-battle ship, the name of which escapes me. He was less than five feet ten in height, rather slim, had hair of light color, in youth, as shown by a miniature taken in New London soon after the captur? of the Macedonian; his nose was slightly Raman, and be had eyes like an eagle in clearness and power ot expression. In bis eyes and nose alone were pei cop ti ble traces of his Indian origin. He leaves a wife and four children, one a son. THE RAILROAD WAB.-The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says : "In former ar. ides on this subject we expressed the belief that as soon as the City Council passed (be ordinance allow? ing the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com? pany to construct s bridge across the Savan? nah and enter the city that th- litigation be? tween that corporation and the South Carolina Railroad would commence afresh, and the United States Court would be the scene of war? fare. That this opinion was correct was dem? onstrated on Wednesday last by a notice being served on Mayor Russell, by Messrs. Gould and Hall, the plaintiff's attorneys, that on the third of next m in tb an application would be made to Judge Erskine, in the United States Court at Savannah, for an hjunclion restrain? ing the city from allowing the Columbia Road to enter toe corporate limits or Augusta." ANOTHEB KEROSENE ACCIDENT_The colored man named Adam Dollie, residing in Mill street, who waa dreadfully burned on Sunday night last by tho explosion of a kerosene lamp, is dead. This is tho second death which has occurred in this city within the last two months from the use of explosive oil, and we hope the grand jury will ?uquire into tho mat? ter, and present auy person who bas been knowingly sel.ing th's dangerous article.

Scrofulous poi SOD la one of the mort destructive enemies of our race, often this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack ot enfeebling or fatal disesBea, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it see nu to breed infection through tne body, and then, on some favorable occa-ion, rapidly develops into one or other ol ita hideous forma, either on the surface or among the vitals. In tbe latter, luberclea may be suddenly deposited in the lunga or heart, or tumors formed in tbe liver, or it shows it' presence by eruptions on the skin, or toul ulcerations on some part of thc body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle or inls SARSAPARILLA ls advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear.
