This io the second death which bas. occurred rn that Oily within the last two months, from tb? uso of explosive oil. -icc:.tary Fish is preparing the instruc? tions io Minister Motley, which will be forward *ril to him before*he leaves, on the 19th, for , "l^aud. There has been a great deal of ..culanoo. about the probable tenor of these [ - di?p&?cbes, ba. it is not probable that any one ?exeo?S Secretary Fish, Mr. Motley and Mr. Saran, r bas any correct idea of what they are tobe. -V.-ry late dispatches, received ia Washing ' toa, by the government, leave no room to doabt an imminent and widespread revolution in Mexico. There is no reason to believe that oar government bas any policy in view of anarchy there. Our foreign relations are in such criti? cal condition all around, and the members of tba Cabinet ao mach at variai ce, that it is not unlikely that the President will call Congress together by the first of August. -Tho intelligence lately published to the, affect that Dr. Livingstone, the great African - explorer, had arrived at Zanzibar, is, contra? dicted. His friend, Dr. Murchison, now infers that ba has travelled west from from the southern end of Lake Tanganiki, (finding its waters did not flow northward,) following the rivers which issue on the west coast of Africa. Under this supposition he may be first beard of from one of the western Portuguese settle? ments, or even from those on the Congo. -The intelligent Havana correspondent of ? the Journal of Commerce says that a battalion of 1010 regalar soldiers, includig officers, ar? rived there on the 34th ulL, and that this made ' a grand total of 18,517 men received there for 'service from Spain since December 13, 1868. Thia being all the reinforcements added to tho .Spanish army in Coba since the beginniog of tb? revolution, it ia evident that it most be a peat deal weaker than it was at the outset. i Tba show for the Spaniards ia a great deal poorer than waa supposed. - ' -The Russian correspondent of the London Tablet writes : AOur military men assure os / that the sommer will not pass away without a > earfrpaigD. They profess to have certain in? formation that the French artillery whs never . at any time so formidably complete in all its departments. The govern ment -seems teebar e, with toe officers tho expectation of war. Great j ? activity reigns 'in the arsenals.

"Bngrifih consul at Havana giving an account ', ot another Spanish ???lrage OD the high seas, ? ' Accord in g to this dispatch, a Spanish var ves? sel hailed an'Englfsh brig at sea, and the lat? ter refusing .to stop, was fired into by the Spaniard and sunk. This is tho substance of the dispatch, which Mr. Thornton immediately sent to his government over the cable. As tho ? dispatch ia extremely meagre, not stating whether tho information respecting tho out? rage was received originally from the Spauish man-of-war or from some survivors of the sunken brig, the authorities hore scarcely know whether to credit it or not. -The party consisting ot ex-Governor Ward, of New Jersey, Colonel Forney, General Van Wyck, of New York, and others, who started on a Southern trip two weeks ago, have re taroed to Washington. They went as far as Florida, stopping at the principal cities and towna on the way. They all concur in the re? port that the industrial prospects have im? proved. They say the negroes are working better this year than last, and the whites gen ?rally seem to be more industrious, and the crops look wen. The people are anxious for Northern immigration, and millions of acres of good lands are offered to capitalists. The party were everywhere well received, and rail? road companies provided special oars on the .trains for their accommodation free of charge -Of the crop prospects in Georgia, the Au? gusta Chronicle says: "Wa regret to learn that the cold weather of the past week has very materially injured the crop prospects in -thia portion of the State. Tie cold easterly --winds which have prevailed for several days, and the slight frosts of Friday and yesterday morning, have caused the cotton to die out, and on the light sandy lands great fears are felt that the stand will be destroyed. Corn is small and does not look healthy, the cold having given it a yellow, stunted appearance. The ?tanda of this crop are generally good, and with a fair season wo maj- expect a good jieltl. Wheat and oats have, until within a few days, looked remarkably well. The cold has effected these crops, and if tho present cold sm p con? tinues mauy days wheat will be seriously in? jured." -The death of Prince Alexander Sergoyvitch Mentscb ikoff, of Russia, is announced by a tele? gram. Thia distiriguiahed piinco and soldier waa horn in 1789, entered the imperial service in 1805, accompanied Alexander ? as aide-de camp during the campaigns of 1812-14, W&B subsequently promoted to the rank of General, but resigned in 1823, when the Czar d?fini ti v3 ly abandoned the cause of tho struggling Greeks. Under Nicholas he served as ambas? sador to Persia, and afterwards took part in the war against that country, captured Aoapa, but was seriously wounded at Varna, and sub? sequently devoted himself to the development of the Russian navy. lu 1853 he was sent to . Constantinople to urge the claims of Nicholas m the affairs of Turkey, but only succeeded in promoting a speedy rupture, the result of which was the Crimean war. He commanded both the land and navil forces in the Crimea, lost the battles of Alma and Inkermann, but .distinguished himself by bia energy in the do fence of Sebastopol, He was superseded in March, 1855, by Gertacbakoff, and waa ap? pointed by Alexander II .commander of (.'ron? stadt. At the time of bia death he was Admi? ral of the Basaian navy. CHARLESTON. MONDAI MORNING, MAT 10, 186?. North? rn Men iii tlie South. Mr. John W. Forney came, saw, and wrote a letter tc his two papers-the Washington Chronicle and Philadelphia Press-in which he related his experience of Charleston and South Carolina. With his face glued to a windor.-, he passed through as much of the State as is traversed by the Wilmington and -Manohpstor and Northeastern Railroad?, and waa able, of course, to familiarize him? self with the composition of the soil, the peculiarities of the climate, and the inside and outside nature of the people. Twenty four hours enabled him to do what his com? patriots failed to accomplish in thrice twenty-four years, and, in his own opinion, Forney is now a marvellous proper person to applaud or abuse the South. With one hand he pats approval of the fer? tility of the land and the quiet whioh every? where prevails. With the other he waves ao proval of political pickpockets and condem? nation of the old slaveholding aristocracy. Bitter and sweet, truth and falsehood, are curiously combined in his Charleston letter, But throughout the whole there is one strain of which he never tires-a lugubri? ous lament that "the old residents have no "social intercourse with the Yankees." It would be easy enough to give reasons why there might be an invincible prejudice against strangers, and particularly against strangers like Mr. Forney. There would be no difficulty in showing that a foul? mouthed Radical, who curses and reviles the South until the hope of profitable land speculation bids him cease, can never enter within the portals of an honest South? ern home. But this does not touch the root of the question, whioh is that the whole subject of social and personal intercourse must b% regulate! by each man for himself, and not by his neighbors or the epistolary Forney. Mr. A, B or C has no right to be the personal friend of any man or set of men merely because he was born in this place, or was not born in that. The new comer may be active and enterprising, up? right in all his dealings, an excellent per? son to know on the wharf or in the count ing-room, and yet not one with whom his business acquaintances would desire to have their wives and children familiar. It is of little consequence whether his birth-plaoe ia in Louisiana or Massachusetts. The man must prove himself or be proved hy others, and even then it will depend upon individual tastes whether he will be admit? ted to that social intercourse -which Mr. Forney craves. There are very few North? erners, it is true, who beoome our familiar friends. Thia is because of the general worthlessness of the Bohemians who seek to overrun the Stale. The New York Times speaks of "the adventurers who have gone ?into the .South," and Harper's Weekly saya: "Oae wonders that the South does "not rebel anew when he considers the "miserable vermin who have been sent down "there as government officials;" a td the Chicago Tribune, another Radica' sl<eet, denounoes "the carpet-baggers-the sirol? "ing, pilfering political blackleg* of the "North," by whom the South is "ridden ?and robbed." And it is these "adventu? rers," these "vermin," and these "black. - "legs," whom Mr. Forney would have us clasp to our breasts as fit companions for sister, wife and children. No thank you ! Mr. Forney. As we said, this is a matter whioh every man must regulate for himself. Each on? should and will choose his own companions and select his own friends. There is free trade in friendship, at least, and, the principle here shall be to think of a man as we find him. And we havo no fear that the bugbear of "social exclusiveness" will have any effect in preventing the influx of Northern capi? tal. If a Northern man, or any other man, comes to South Carolina, it ia because he sees a chance of making money. Not one will come for the sake of going into "so? ciety." It is a plain calculation, a simple question of dollars and cents-as it ought to be. The sweetness of tbe Southern fire? side will not console the stranger for fail? ing trade and consequent loss of capital. Nor will the absence of this private inti? macy rob fortune of its obarms. The merchant, or the broker or the professional man who immigrates to this State, does so because he believes that he will make more progress here than he could do at home; and he will not, if he has any senBe, be deterred from ooming by any dread of being barred out from some par? ticular class of "sooiety." AB time rolls on the new arrival is understood and appreci? ated acoording to his worth, and, if he is not, the loss will be to others rather than to himself. When he has become, in fad as well as in name, a part of the State, in? terested in its progress and oonoerned in ita good government, he,. will have friends and acquaintances enough, and will have made for himself a "society" whioh will be all that he needs and all that he desiree. Hold out the inducements. Show thc cheap? ness of land and labor. Prove the scarcity of money and the gain to bc made by its use. These will bring Northern? s and Europe? ans to the shares jt South Carolina-not travellers with carpet-bags, but settlers with trunks, who will be of us and with us, and will have no cause to complain of their reception, notwithstanding the ominous pre? dictions of thc disappointed Forney. Thc State Militia. It will be seen by a circular published in another column, that Adjutant-General Mo? ses declares that " no orders have yet been issued looking to the organization of the State militia, or the arming and drilling of | the same." There have, undoubtedly, been movements looking to an immediate organi? zation of an armed forced of some kind in different localities ; but we accept the statement of the Adjutant-General that this was done without authority, and call the attention of all persons to that portion of the militia law which deolares "that "there shall be no military organizations or "formations for the purpose of arming, "drilling, exercising the manual of arms or "military manouvres not authorized under "this act." We also again express the hope that the active organization of the militia will be postponed for many months to come. It is not necessary for any public purpose, and can do no good, whilo it mast cause grave alarm and may lead to serious riot and dis? order. THE Clarendon pr<ms complains that tbe Charleston papers published on Saturdays never reach that place. The fault is not with us, as THE NEWS is mailed with the regularity of clock-work. We hope that Postmaster Trott will give an eye to this matter. _iL?!?}:_ TU KENT, F?llt UPRIGHT ROOMS, witb Dressing Boom and Pantry. Apply at No. 25 LEGattE-STREET. May 10 I_JnSalt._ FOK SALE.
