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.
Mo joy beyond the sun ?

than usual. Oats is the only crop, so far as we

is yet ample time fes it to come out. Wheat
has generally a fine and flourishing appear?

been planted, and the stand reported is very

1BCJSQUESTION AGAIN, \
.. _ . . .
IO THE EDITOR OF THB NEW J.
' 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.

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.

culiar to our Soulhern climate having already estab?

living ba the South are predi?po>ed to disease of the

most of the pains and aches of our people are due
to or.r mic or mnctional derangement of that impor?

Dr. Prophitt- Having u cd Ibis medicine suffi?
ciently lonto test ita virtue, ; nd to satisfy my own
mind that it ia an invaluable remedy for Dyspepsia
-a disease from which the writer baa suffered much
for six years-and being persuaded that hundreds
who now suffer from this annoying complaint would
be signally benefltted, as he has been, by its use, we
deem it a duty we owe to this unfortunate class to
recommend to them the use of thia remedy, which
has given not only himself but several m embers of
his family tho grea'eat relief.

ing fifty eenie only ; it relio rod me almost instantly.
I therelort recommend it in the highest degree to

that it is one ol the best family medicines now out,

an active nutriment for the development and maturity of the fruitage. The Sulphuric Acid
which it contains, by chemical affinity with the elements of most soils, contribute to its Fer?

FUR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
THE REPUTATION
I_ thia excellent medicine en
l^c>"V Joya, is derived from its
? cure*, many of which are
/sf? fe tm truly marvellous. Invete
/7 l"^^Bmr TJ-{e ca-ce of Scrofulous

JT /v| seemed saturated with
m^')\ JP^L torrup ion, have been pu.
Wf??mx |CM^B?w lidea ant cured by lt.
^f^a**"T1^ Scrofulous at) ec tiona and
-^^^t?fcj^ disorders, whict were ag
^^?H B^crava ed by thc scrofu
?iSfiBH?^ loua contamination until
they were paintnlly amie tiog, have been radically
cored in such great cumber' in aime it every section
of the country, that the o oblic scarcely need to be
iniormedof ita virtues or nae1.
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. Per?
sona athlete 1 with the following complaints generally
find imn cdiate relief, and, at length, cure by the
use ot this SARSAPARILLA: St. Anthonys Fire,
Rose or Erysipelas, 'letter, salt Rheum, Scald Head,
Ring Worm, sore lyes, bore Ears, and o'her erup?
tions cr visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also,
in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy,
Heart DI ea-e, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the va?
rious ulcerous affections ot the muscular and ner?
vous systems.
syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are
cur d by it, though along time ie required foi sub
during these obstinate maladi s by any medicine,
But long continued use of thia medicine will cure
the complaint Leucorrbcea or Whites, Uterine Ul?
cerations and Female diseases, are commonly soon
relieved and ultimately cured by ita purifying and
invigorating etti ct Minute Directions for each case
are lound in our Almanac, eupplied gratis. Rheu?
matism and Gout, wben caused by accumulations of
extraneous matters in toe blood, yield quickly to lt,
as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestiouoi
Inflammation of the Liver and Jauu lice, wbm aris?
ing, as they often do, from the rankling poisons in
the blood. Ibis SARAPARILLA is a great restorer
for the strength and vUorofthe system, loose who
are Languid and Us tie-a, Despondent, sleepless
and troubled with Nervous Apprehension or Fears,
or any of the affections symptomatic of Weakness,
will find immediate relief an i convincing evidence
