NEW YORK, May .17.-There is much excite? ment in Wall-street in consequence of the fail? ure of a German banking house, Schoplor A Co., largely short of gold. The general esti? mate of their short contracts on gold is eight million dollars. It is understood, also, that they were short of government bonds, and had out a consult rabie amount of bills of exchange. Gre&i excitement and confusion was caused by their failure-the gold market feeling the first effect. At the opening there was a perfect rush to buy, which carried the premium up to 42|, but it soon after declined to alf. lt was rumored that the Bank at England directors, at an extraordinary meet? ing, bad advanced tho rates of interest to five per oent. United States bonds were firm, with prices fj<3Uc higher than on Saturday. Rail? ways opened heavy but rallied and became firmer.

The press of the county seats toora with state? ments of damage; and those come, I think, from every part of the State. I gather in gen? eral that the severest loss is farthest north; and that the damage decreases as we go south, the coast having suffered very little. A gen? tleman who plants in Abbeville estimates that his crop is injured to the oxtont of one-fifth. If we assume this to be a representative fact, we seo that the damage done in York and the Piedmont region generally (where, how? ever, comparatively little cotton ie grown) mutt be immense, wh?e that in Earn well and the southern limit of upland cot? ton the injury is comparatively trivial. One unfavorable circumstance attending this mis? hap is tho scarcity of ootton seed with which to replant. An order for ootton seed, st what? ever price, has boen received in Columbia from the Savannah side of thia State. And in Green? ville, a gentleman writes that ho thinks there will be very little replanting there because of the want of seed. It is to be remembered in this connection, before wo hastily conclude that the cotton yield is to bo much curtailed by this frost, that cotton which survives a stress of weather like this always turns out to be far more vigorous and prolific than when the stand is good. This faot is well known to cotton planters. It demonstrates another point which might be useful to planters-that they generally have too much cotton when they thin out. TBS UNIVERSITY. Tho disposition, so far as ascertained, of the Board, of Trustees of this institut ion,is favorable to a li oeral and conservative policy. They real? ise that they have a difficult and delicate trust reposed in them ; and they seem disposed to manage that trust in such way as shall best secure to the State the fullest advantages of the University. They are aware that extreme steps (for which there was at ono time some ignorant clamor, ) would materially curtail the patronage of the institution and to that extent impair its usefulness.' Such a course would also, unquestionably, react against the party whose extremists at one time were clamoring for it. Guided, then, by the highest interests of the State and the soundest principles of State economy, to say nothing of political interests, thoy would have been direoted to the policy already fore? shadowed. In view of this conservative policy of the board, as gathered from their liberal in? dividual opinions, the friends of the institution throughout the State now look with increasing oonfidenoa and hope to its future. The Uni? versity is going on in regular operation with sixty odd students in daily attendance; and, With the facto and futuro- pnroucut?-- ?a ?,!.?,,, are, it excited nb little surprise here that the Pheonix last Tuesday morning -should speak of ^o TJuiversity of South Carolina as being in a. 'condition similar to that of the State institutions of Alabama and of North Carolina. Now, the facts are that, both those State institutions have been in effect closed by a course of administration directly ' opposed to that which the Trus? tees of the University of South Carolina 8eem inclined to adopt. In both Alabama and North Carolina they 'have so upset things by turning out the former pr of essors and turning in adventurers and politicians, as to make it impossible for the citizens of these States to patronize their own State in? stitutions; And the result is that, aa I am in? formed, there are about ten students in the formar, and two in the latter. This is the re? sult that the Trust?es of the: University of South Carolina manifest a disposition to avoid1 if possible; and the best wishes of our com? munity second that di position. ? .mata. The finding of a shrimp in the waters of the Congaree at this place is a noteworthy fact. Dr. Geiger has a specimen preserved which was found last Monday. It seems tobe a com? mon shrimp (crangon> vulgaris,) having, how? ever, four instead of two long antenno. This creature, in fresh water, is dearly out of ita usual habitat; but instances are known to have occurred before. Nomadic shrimps like this are known to bsW been found in the San tee thirty or forty miles above salt water. The disposition to Cheat grows upon oui people. Within the past few days two cases of "foxed" butter have been detected in the Co? lombia market.

This is twelve and eighteen par cent, per annum, instead of twenty-five. COBBAIB. j THE BBOAD ams NABEOW GAUGES.-The bat? tle of the gauges is over.

SLINKING OCEAN- WITH OCEAN. The Pact ile II ailroati-A II cv Jew of tia? Kn ter pr lac from Ita Conception to Ita completion-What lt will Accomplish fiar th? Country. The consummation of tho great engineering .work whioh now spans our con ti noni, suggests a glance backward to review the progress of the age. Any man who had predicted fifty years ago that by soienco, ?nd the practical ap. plication of it, the Atlantic would be brought n sarer in this year te ?the Pacific than New York then was to Boston, would have exposed himself to ?trong doubts of his sanity. Yet this seeming maniacal fanoy bas been realized. Deserts and mountains have in vain interposed. The line across tho continent is so long that trains upon it are run by eight or ten different timoB, and a contemporary suggests that "ultimately we snail have a double .set of hands upon all watohes-one for local time, and one for a general time-uniform all over the world." : It is said that a Pacific read was foreshad? owed, before the age of railways, by Jonathan Carver, in 1778. In 1885, Rev. Samuel Parker recorded his opinion in his journal of an over? land trip, that the mountains presented no insuperable obstacle to a railway. But the most remarkable foresight waa 'evinced by Lewis Gaylord Clark, who, in 1838. wrote in his popular magazine, t ne Knicker b Hiker ? "The reader is now living who will make a railway trip across this .vast continent." In 1840, Asa Whitney began to urge his project upon State Legislatures and popular gatherings, propos? ing to build a railway from the Mississippi to Paget Sound (California was not yet settled by whites) if Congress would give him public lands to the width ol thirty miles along the enture li o. In 1860, the first Pacific railroad bill was introduced into Congress by Thomas H. Benton. It contemplated a railway only "where practicable," leaving gaps in the im? passable mountains to be filled ap by a wagon road. Aa yet, even the Alleghenies were not crossed by any unbroken raliway, but by a series of inclined pianos, upon whioh the cara were drawn up and lek down by stationary engines. Ba 1858-*4, by direotion of Congress, nine routes were survey? ed to the Pacific, on various parallels, be ween the British possessions and Mexico. In 1859, Congress authorized the construction of three roads-a Northern, a Southern and a Central- 1 and thus indicated our natural and inevitable trans-continental system. They were to re? ceive no money endowment, but very liberal land grants. Bat before any active steps were taken to build them, ail such enterprises were extinguished for the time by the late civil war. The Central Pacific Railroad Company, was, however, chartered by the California Legislature in the midst of the war, and as a continental railway began to be considered a military necessity, in July, 1862, one was char? tered by Congress from the Mississippi to the Pacific. One of the greatest difficulties to be apprehended on the Pacific road is snow, Which, upon the Sierras, sometimes falls to the depth ot thirty feet, and whioh caused last year a considerable detention of trains, although twenty-two miles of what are called snow sheds are erected to protect the track. An early re? sult, however of this line is expected to be the socanng of a Southern line, which will be re? quired by the necessities of trade, and secare from the wintry obstructions to tho present route. It bae been remarked that opportunely with the notes of preparation for the grand opening of the railway yesterday oame news of the pro and New York. By the end of the year, when the line is expected to be completed, Han Fran? cisco will send ber news for China east and her ships west, will transmit orders for teas and silks three-fourths of the way around the globe in a moment, and will receive the shipments from an opposite direotion in a little overa iortnight. The distances across the continent are given as follows: , New York to Omaha, (point of commencement of the Uuion Pacific Bailroad.) 1479 miles; Omaha to Ogden, (point of commencement of tba Central Pacific Road.) 1030 miles, with the addition ot a branch to Halt Lake City, 40 miles; Ogden to Sacramento. 748 miles; Saciamento to San Francisco, 130 miles-making the whole distance from New York to San Francisco 8877 miles. From the advanced sheets of a new edition; of Richardson's "Beyond the Mississippi,." wei learn that "of the eighteen hundred miles be? tween Omaha and Sacramento, nOt one-third ia really mountainous, but more than two-thirds were so counted, and received the higher gov? ernment endowment, $32,000 or $48.000 per mile. Muoh of the Central Pacific traverses a flat country, yet not one mlle received less than $82.000. The Union Pacific obtained the high? est mileage, $48,000, for one hundred and fifty miles weat of Cheyenne, heavy mountain work, : though the region is really one long, inclined plane-'as fine a country to build a railway through as lies on the face of the globe.' Building and equipping the entire line proba? bly cost, on on average $50,000 per mile. The government bonds issued averaged $80,000 per mile, and the company'a first mortgage bonds ?old for $80,000 more, leaving anet costa profit of 917,000 OOO upon the construction alone, in addition to the ownership of the road and its magnificent land grant." Thus we see what a glorious good thing the builders have had of it at the people's expense. But many believe that the profits are even much larger than here represented. The New York Journal of Commerce takes a decidedly moderate view of the probable suc? cess and advantage? of the Pacific Bailroad, That Journal says i - . , Turning from the glare and din of this fen de joie, let us devote a few sober words to ah estimate of what the Pacific Railroad Will do for this country and fdr the world. 'To begin with, we must discard the extrava? gant language of the advertising ?gents. We must remember that the Pac ino Railroad, like every other scheme which has bonds to sell, has been heavily puffed, and continually pre? sented to the public m the most favorable light. A great many gentlemen have had a powerful interest in keeping this road before the people as a most desirable investment. If they have dipped their pencils in rainbow colors in por? traying the attractions of the line, they have dons no more than usage permits in suoh caaes. But now that the object baa been accomplish? ed and the work done,no critic can be accused <> a design tbunderrate thia groat national exploit if he prefers iaot to adopt tho superbly ava enthusiasm of those who. for business purposes, diligently written upon the Tbe Pacific Railr oad will be of great advan? tage to Caliiornia and all agricultural regions on the Pacific. Many emigrants will go out there who now Bettie in II linois, Iowa, Kansas, and other SiAtsa. But wo dn no* anticipate thc rush of small tanners whioh some of the San Francisco journals expect to see, The cost o? getting to the Pacific coast aili deter great ?number? of ?? emigrante from making tho trip, and they will still halt in the States where the! have hitherto done sp. weil, ami where are y el so many broadacres yearning to receive them atill tho population of California and of Oregox Will deriW fargo and valuable accessions fro? the brain and muscle of the Old World and o the Atlnotio States.

To whit ? tent the commercial benefits will be felt bere will depend upon the express and freight rates through. One of the greatest blessings to flow from the road, when it is in good running order, will be the facility of travel between the two sides of this continent. Leaving out of sight all possibilities ol danger from Indian raids now happily beooming less likely to occur there can bo no dispute between the bubiness advantages of going from New York to Ban Francisco in six cr aoven days bj rsi?, instead of twenty or twenty-five days per steamship. It by no means follows, however, that the com? pletion of tho road will stop passengers from going back and forth by the oc*an route. For persons not io a burry, or desirous of en? joying the largest variety of soent ry, the ti ip via Panama, one wav or both ways, will still have its charme. Possibly there will bo a co ni petition between the steamship and railroad lines, whioh will soon reduce considerably the fare on both. tout though, ae we incline to think, tho im? mediate benefits to result to America and the world from the completion of the Pacific Rail? road are commonly stated with that occidental luxuriance whioh is fnU as wild as oriental hyperbole, we would not detract one jot of praise from tho true greatness of the under? taking, and we believe that, in the future, it will prove itself so convenient, so useful, so in? dispensable to the nation, aud withal co profit? able (it judiciously managed,) as to stop the last cavil against what has seemed to many tbe national extravagance of entering upon so costly a work at a time when we could so ill -afford it. A SMOCKING JPXOT. A Bloody Conspiracy Against the JAfe ot a. Newly Married Husband-Tine Bride Implicated. The Macon Journal of Saturday, without re? vealing names, gives an account ot a domestic conspiracy of a heinous character, which has just come to light in a neighboring county of Georgia : It seems that a young lady from an adjoining State was visiting the county town last year, and while there was courted by, and engaged herself to, a young lawyer of the place. All was smooth sailing until she returned home. Then she learned that her parents had other Elans for her future. She was told that her and was sought by a very wealthy old man, and that she must prepare to receive him as her future husband. To ber remonstrances and disclosure of her love for, abd engagement to another, her parents turned a deaf ear. They had determined she should marry the old man. and at last, by arguments, threats and importunities, brought her to the point of writing to her lover and breaking off the on f'agement. Immediately upon' receiving her otter be left for her borne, and, on arriving < there, soon had an interview. Then was con? cocted the horrible plot. It was settled be? tween them that she should marry the old man, and after getting him to settle his prop- ' erty on her, the young man was to have him < murdered 1 Back home Carnet her lover and ( commenced his preparations, ile soon found < a willing tool, who. for the sum of one thou? sand dollars, to be paid when the guilty pair were married, agreed t?o go to tho old man's house and murder him. The jtoarriage, in the meantime, bad taken place, and the would-be assassin . found the old Benedict in the first flush of tbe honeymoon. The ? assassin, from some cause, did not or could xK>t find an op- < por tu ni ty to do the deed, and wally either re- ; lent ed or beoame doubtful asm the safety of the job. He then sought ?au toteiv?ew with 1 his intended victim and told hiba of the plot.

North-Demand for Kqual Participation tn Omee-The Negro- Question Brought Home to the North-Visit staci Address ta the Presi? dent. A A Washington letter of Friday last to the Baltimore Sun says; The National ?xeoutive Committee of the Colored If en's National Convention, recently held here, called upon President want this afternoon by appointment, and presented him with an address in relation to the sppointment Of colored men to office.. The address is based upon the published statement to the effect that ?he President intends to appoint in the North, tarn States to Important positions such colored men aa could discharge the duties with profit and honor to the p?bho service. The address I then says: , r "We are assured that the appointment of competent and trustworthy colored men to prominent positions in the Northern States would arve a death blow to objections against our holding such positions in tue South, by 1 convincing the South that it is not true that the North wishes to force a policy upon the n which it is not wining to accept itself. If ne- , groes are elevated to important places by the general government in Rhode Island, the prob* lem of negro office-holding becomes easy of solution in Georgia. ' "Then, too, we think that if in the Northern States,-where the negroes are numerically weak, they are penni tted to shari? some of the honors of citizenship with tfeeff wfcite fettow^flzens, our brethren in the South, where they are nu merioaUy strong, would the more willingly share their political immunities with their white fellow-citizens, and the whole race will be strengthened in it? patriotism by tho know? ledge that, the negroes are no longer regarded as a separate class in politics. . .. .. '.The colored men of tho North have already furnished such proofs of manhood as to lift the question of fitness for office out of the arena of mere experiment. We furnished from among ourselves in the North a prominent yoke-Fellow for many white abol?tioa&t? during the dark period of anti-slavery agitation, when the foundation was being iud for the exist enos of the Republican party-? party which hs? saved and nearly paroled the nation of its prejudices against cok* and condition. We do not regret the fact that we have do oe the work, and that our brethren of the South hgve secured the first and the largest fruits of 'political preferment; hut we do feel the need j of; commanding their respect by showing that we can oommaud the confidence of our white ?ellow-oitizenc, even where we sro in the mi? nority, i. . . ?'Oar homes being in the North, wo ?re anxious to kindle in our children such asso? ci?t io as M shall stimulate them to mastery in all tho educational and political advantages of that sectE* *?,Out ff they remain bathe North they may become eminent exponents of its principles, and ff they go South they may be able to darry the full advantages of these principes with them.
