These servants are lo be fitted ont while in New York with very showy livery. The coats ot the men servants are to be of lavender color, with white buttons, upon which is the Michigan ooat of arms, ex? cept that the stags rapport the letter 0, which is of rod enamel, with gold edge. The female servants wear large belt buckles bearing the same design as that upon toe buttons. Tbs, hats of the men are black, with a wide purple band aad a large silver cockade, in the centre I of which ia one of the buttons aforesaid. -Tbs statistics of divorce in CcoBeotioat BJ?startling. Patins; last year tbs divorcee numbered four hundred and seventy-eight, or more than one-tenth the number of mafriiges. AU the marriages oelebrated in the State dur iagtbeyear are included in the total of 4784. The Norwich Bulletin says: "A large propor? tion of these are marriares between foreign? ers, communicants of the Roman Catholic Church, whovexoept in very rare cassa, nev jr trouble the courts. The twen y-3ve unhappy souples whose names adorned the Superior ' Ooart docket for thia county at ita last term Its, without exception, native citizens. Add to this the number who are practically divorced, but who, from family or other consid?rations, neglect to obtains legal separation, and the extent of the evil will be nude apparent." The nsw Governor of Connecticut has re com commended to the Legislature a modification of the existing divorce lews, the provisions of | which are so lax that there is hardly any appli? cation for divorce which the judges could le? gally refuse. -Last Wednesday, in New York City, a^ election was held among the Methodists raB| Ive trastees to take charge of tho ossa! great Camp meeting, to bs held at-Bing Slue, in Au? gust .The female members were'entitled to Tote, and asgstat complaints wore made last year by thm portion or the church in regard to the unfair and injudicious allotment of the ] .nts, great excitement prevailed. Five print? ed tioLc?s, containing the names of the candi? dates differently combined, were distributed by canvassers stationed neai the polls, but "scratching" also prevailed to some extent. By six o'clock only thirty-five female votes had been oast, but according to the tactics of an ordinary political election, the women reserved their strength ti l the last moment, and at 8 O'clock, the time of closing the polls, came np to a large body of neara hundred, to decide thc contest. In addition, the mimed women exercised a supervision over their husband's Totes, examining the ticket and depositing it in the box, with the remark in some cases : "You may vote that, dear; that's all right." This incident caused the general observation, That's what were coming to." -The)newest of the new plans for connect? ing Bogland wi th. France by railway, is that of submerged iron tube, to be supported at a fepth of about 60 feet below the surface of the Irater by iron trestles, the feet of which will rest upon the bed of the straits. The tube is to be lu tte outside diameter 23 feet 6 inches, and with a view of giving it sufficient strength it is to be of cast iron, 8 inches in thickness. Its length between each pair of legs or sup potto is to bo 800 feet, and the weight of each or these sootions 8000 tons. Bach of those lengths is to be made up of 8 segments of 37 feet 6 inches, and these are to be firmly bolted together by means of steel bolts passing through external flanges. Each segment will bo mado water-tight by a bulkhead, and will be lowered until it is brought into oxict posi? tion with the pott ion previously fixed, and when made fast by the bolts the near balk head will be removed, and tho workmen will pass on to the next segment. The ventilation of the tnbe is to bo provided by stationary steam power at one of the entr??eos to the tube, which will force a sufficiency of air through a channel constructed along the inner roof of the tube to a point about midway of ita entire lensrth, where it will be "discharged and force itself along the tube to either end. All this sounds impracticable enough; but we live in an age of marvels, and perhaps the the scheme may one day be realized. CHARLESTON. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 1, 1869. Our Western Connect loma. Ike report of John B. Lafitte, Esq., the representative of the City of Charleston, before the City Council of Cincinnati, is a clear and comprehensive summary of the arguments in favor of a railway connection between the Qaeen of the West and the great seaport of South Carolina. And while it shows conclusively that the most advanta? geous terminus for the proposed Southern road is Knoxville and not Chattanooga, it gives us the encouraging assurance that whatever route may finally be adopted, we shall have a connection with both Louisville and Cincinnati, by the time that the Blue Ridge Railroad is completed. The Knox? ville route would give Cincinnati a connec? tion with Norfolk and with the railroad systems of North Carolina, Georgia, and j Alabama, as well as with Charleston, but j even if the tess favorable route via Chatta? nooga be chosen we shall still be able, by taking advantage of the commercial energy of Louisville, to reach up into the heart of | the West. Cincinnati, no less than Charleston, wi'l be benefitted by obtaining a cheap and rapid communication with our seaboard. If j we send to her the foreign produce, the salt [ and other commodities that she may require, the West will send to us the iron and ooal of Tennessee, provisions of every kind, and the manufactured articles which Cincinnati can produoe more oheaply than any oity of1 the East. These facts, now for the first time, of late year?, forced upon the atten? tion of the people of Ohio, will have great weight in determining the manner of ex pending the ten millions of money which Cincinnati is authorised to lay out in build? ing a Southern railroad. And, however, much private Interests may be opposed to the Knoxville route, its dalma are now so strong that they cannot well be isna**?* If Kuoxvig* be indeed mads the termi? nus, the result will be due to the exertions of Mr. Lafitte, President Harrison, of the Bine Ridge road, Chief Engineer Low, and the other gentlemen who have so faithfully repr?a?Bt*d tho interests of our City and Bute. And in any event, we may now go to work with the assurance that it rests with ourselves; to decide whether the mil? lions already spent are to be thrown away, or whether by adding to them we make the whole profitable, and secure that commer? cial prise which has so often eluded our grasp. Mr. Lafitte is especially forcible in his statement of the reasons which should in? duce us to airain avery nerve to secure the prompt completion sf the Blue Ridge. Bail road. These reasons need not be recapitu? lated here. But in assuming that the com? pletion of the Blue Ridge Railroad is the ons great object for which to strive, we must not forgot that we have no reason to hope for any outside help. . Cincinnati and j Louisville already have their hands full; they will push forward towards our bor? ders. We most be ready to meet them. The State Legislature has already au? thorised the guarantee of four millions of | dollars for the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad, and has pledged the faith and credit of South Carolina to the pusotual payment of th? bonds that may be issued for that parp?se. Bat the great work will require about six millions, and it is all-im? portant that it should not be suffered to lag for want of funds. South Carolina has, at this tims, fully $200,000,000 of taxable pro? perty, and this most be so increased in amount by the opening of the Blue Ridge Road and the influx of new trade and com? merce, that we shall be able to pay, if ne? cessary, the whole interest on the money to be spent in building the road, and yet be less oppressed by taxation than we are at thia time. We can give an abundant secur? ity for all our debt, and as the Blue Ridge Railroad is for the benefit of the whole State, we should be ready to give it assist? ance from the common fund, and so hasten the coming of the day whioh shall link South Carolina and Ohio together, and make each the means of swelling the for? tune of the other. We repeat, that the completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad is the one thing to whioh we must direct all our efforts. The State, the city and individual citizens must never slacken their endeavors until the great work is accomplished. A Good Usn Gone. The active business circles of the South? west have not receiyed, for a long time, so grave a blow as has been dealt them in thc oasualty by which Colonel L. T. Woodruff, of Mobile, lost his life. He was one of the best of'the old school of Southern mer? chants, and his dignity, courtesy, and nise sense of honor were only equalled by his untiring energy, enterprise, and public spirit as a oitisen. In the war, he bore a eouspiououaAnd honorable part as colonel of an Alabama regiment, and since the close of hostilities the unflagging zeal whioh he has displayed in the work of the material restoration of our section, won for him the Presidency of the Mobile Board of Trade. Colonel Woodruff waa well known to many of our oitizens, and the writer oan never forget the genial hospitality with whioh the members of the press were wel? comed by him during a recent visit to Mo? bile. Th,? Preifcy torlang of the North, Some days ago we had a brief announce? ment by telegraph of the steps which had been taken by the Presbyterian General Assemblies in New Fork to reconcile the differences which have so long separated the Old and New Schools of that denomina? tion. The New York papers bring us the particulars of the basis of reunion which has been agieed upon by the two bodies. The doctrinal differences which led to the separation of the Old and New Sohool de? nominations in 1838, consisted mainly in a more or less rigid construction of the stand? ards of the church, especially with refer? ence to the doctrines of election, original sin, &c , the Old Sohool aooepting more in? flexibly the oreed of Calvin, whilst the Confession of Faith was interpreted by the New Sohool in a less literally Calvinistic sense. The basis of reunion now adopted requires that "the Confession of Faith shall "continue to be sinoerely received and "adopted as containing the system of doc "trine taught in the Holy Scripture." As each school had professed to do this in its separate organization, there would seem to be no difference on that point warranting a permanent separation. The plan of reunion abstains from deciding the original ques? tions at issue, and each party is left to put ita own construction upon the standards, only that henceforth the differences upon these points are not to interfere with the unity and harmony of the church. This plan has yet to undergo the discussion of the various Presbyteries of the two As? semblies, who are to express their approval or disapproval before the 15th of October next, and if approved of by three-fourths of each, the two Assemblies, meeting in Pitts? burg in November next, shall so declare, and take action for formal reunion. The unanimity and heartiness evinoed in the aotion of the Assemblies would seem to warrant the belief that the Presbyteries will aot in the same spirit, and that the reunion of the two churches will be fully completed in November next. This, however, is not, as some have sup? posed, a reunion of the Northern and Southern Presbyterian churches; though that subject came up for discussion in the Old Sohool Assembly on a report of the com? mittee on bills and overtures, and was re? ferred to a speoial committee. The Mode? rator, however, stated that any aotion at the present time might be damaging to the peace of the Southern church, and would be inopportune. lex is now manufactured in New Orleans so abundantly that it can be afforded to families all over the city at one oent per pound, and to large consumers at three quarters of a cent. It has been tested with ice from Basion. ? -.* *? round to be more compaot and slower in melting. Made from filtered water, it is clear as crystal, and purer than ice naturally formed is apt to be.
