This year hun? dreds of acre? are planted; the soil is prolific, and in some instances has yielded sixty bush? els of castor beans to the acre.

It ia looked upon aa of great value to tho South for the purpose of makins ropes. . -.Henry Ward Beecher on Sunday preached against the schemes of church union, whether planned by Pope, Protestant or Pagan, taking the novel ground that the strength of the Chriitan religi?n lies io the number of the ex? isting denominations. He hopes lo see the sects increase in namber rather than combine sid prefers to have the gospel preached by wicked men rather than not nave it preached at all. He did not claim ori g inali ty for these novel ideas, but showed that they were in con? sonance with those of that astute lawyer, St. -TaaswNatioial Photographie Association commenc?e ita an anal session this week in Boston, Mass. The object o? the association ia to keep the pubhe informed as to the pro? gresa of photography; to spread among photo? graphers a knowledge of the improvements that are made, both here and abroad, and to excite and diffuse a taste for the new art An exhibition will be formed to contain the pic? tures of contemporary artists, and nuke known to them and tao pabho the peculiar styles of th* work at homo sod abroad. There will also t? - shown1 various photographic apparatus chemicals and "requisites." -The critics are enthusiastic about Adelina Patti. IT they exaggerate naught, marriage has contributed to perfect the artiste and the Singer. She ia deso?a;bed as manifesting quali? ties far which her admirera had not given ber credit. Her voice, her manner, and tbe mind tn.her representations are pronounced tobe ^naore ramaikabl? than ever. And she has great rivals at ber dds. There is oily one opera house open, and to it have gathered besides the Patti, Mlle. Titians, tho best living per? former of great dramatic parts ; tbs Hunga? rian artiste, Mlle. Urna de Murska ; sud Mik Nfltsson. That this brilliant circle should keep together so long, is a flue compriment to the mt nager, or possibly s sign of a theatrical mil? lennium. -Tbs London Times is now printed bj. new machinery so perfect and so simple that it takes but one engineer and three laborers to print off the whole edition of the Time*. Tho 'principle of the machine is that the paper is ?otcut into sheets before it is printed, but is brought to the1 ??chine in a long roll. It passes through tbs machine, is printed on both sides^anri b divided ss it passes ont, the wbolo prooe?being automatic. The Idea has kmg been worked at by engineers, but has only lately been practically carried ont, under tbs snpermtendenco of Mr. Macdonald, the engineer who has charge of the whole Times rnSohinery. Tbs new machine is called the Waltet tess, in honor of the chief proprietor of the Times. It will quite supersede the Hoe mtcKfn<y and is an improvement upon the ad aairable French Msrinoni machine. -A Washington letter says: "Under An? drew Johnson there was averycle.-er officiai, * named Cnthaw, who acted as grand usher to ^ihe President. For $160D s year he consented -to take tbe whole White House on his shoul? ders. Per that modest sum he was content to bear the abuse ot countless visitors, and to re? pay all with uniform politeness and courtesy. How is it nuder President Grant ? There is Peut, full Brigadier, with a salary of $5000 per annum; Crook receiving $1600; Price, likewise, $1600; young Douglass, $2300; Adams (not George W., but another man,) $1600; and 81m mohds, s gentleman of color, $90 per month for . simply bearing cai da of visitors from the eminently polite Dent to the President's pri? vate office. AU these officials combined dis? charge the duty which Cuahaw monopolized under President Johnson. In other words, it now requires $13.380 to accomplish the labori? ous business of attending tbe White Hoosa visitors, while it only cost $1600 nuder John? son. There is nothing like economy. -A New York correspondent ol the Cin? cinnati Commercial thus describes one of the Latest wrinkles in Wallstreet: "As I sat watching the paaaera-by hurrying up Wall Street toward the great temple of Mammon aforesaid, a queer little square box at my el? bow, perched between tbe two windows of the broker's office, began to click and clatter with the jerking sound peculiar to telegraphic in? struments. The people of the office pricked np their ears and began to nu ve toward the mysterious box, from the mouth ot which was now issuing, in an endless roll, long, narrow strips of white paper. T.iking up the paper as it w jund itself off the reel (for this part of the intelligent machine is autonatfc) we read s long string of printed characters Like the following: N. W. $1L P. B-103, Read'g 97?, B. S, Hud. 156*-*. H. T. C. 184 B. f. 128A, S. SO, AL S. 106,-L F. W. 15ft, 600N. W. 91|, 200 P. M. 94 The little abbreviated and sententious announcements, as I was qm ck ly made aware, were the quota, tiona of stocks, st tha' moment being made in the "Long Boom' of the Stock Exchange, and transmitted by an operator there to the bro? kers and bankers Bitting in their own offices. As the curions little instrument ph ed its cease? less telegraphy, more an J rn Dre of tbe long roll Of paper was unwound from tbe supply reel, and, stamped with the ratmm.iti.tn of the varying ups and downs of stocks and bonds aud gold, went coiling itself up into a targe basket underneath. Tb is won? derful maohino works all day, from be tweon 9 and 10 until after 4 o'clock, and ie watched with keen interest by many busy eyes, too bnsy togo in person to the St; ok Ex* change, or too willing to escape the infernal turmoil of the yelling ringa of 'bulls' and 'bears'that there conspire to make hideous the day. I learned that there are no less than two hundred and thirty or these private print? ing telegraphs in operation in and around Wall-Street offices, and that tho company owning and operating them stand ready to fnrniab them in any city wbere a dozen or mora would be used, so as to justify the ex? pense of m mating them and keeping them in order. Tho cost is a mere trifle, compared with the incalen! able convenience and ad? vantage of thia instantaneous knowledge of the fluctuations of the market. I was told that $200 a year more than covered the expense to each broker owning an instrument." CHARLESTON. o FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 4, 1869. The Value of Our Lamas. There was an error of some consequence in the statistical tables printed in TUE NEWS of the 27th ult. The total number of acres of land in the State, shown in de? tail in table No. 8, should be 16,001,974 in? stead of 41,513,216. This error will, of oonrse, be readily detected bj adding to? gether the number of acres ia the different oounties. In regard to the statement made in these columns that the Appropriation aot limits the amount of State taxes for the year to not exceeding $1,000,000, while the rate of taxation assessed by the State Auditor at three-fourtaa of one per cent, should pro? duce $1*230,000, we are in possession of fariner information. The State Auditor fays, as we are informed, that the oolleo ' lion of taxes will be stopped ss soon as the amount received reaches $998,000, the amount actually appropriated by the Gene? ral Assembly to meet the expenses and in? terest of the year. The Auditor thinks it very doubtful if the required amount of $998,000 can be collected, after deducting the property exempted from taxation, and the amounts (under $150) exempted by law from all taxation, whioh are included in the total assessment of $1,230,000, as well as the loss by defaulters and evasions of the The State Auditor doubtleas has noted in perfect good faith; but it still appears to ns that the letter of the law, limitieg the whole amount to be assessed, should have been complied with. The table of the assessed values of cul? tivated, uncultivated and waste lands, pub? lished in Tn Naws of yesterday, will give onr people some idea of the magnitude of the advantages whioh they can offer to intending Immigrants. The price at whioh these lands have been returned for taxa? tion must be, in many oases, far below the intrinsic value, although, perhaps, not be? low the pri?e they would bring if forced upon a stagnant market. Bat nuking all dat allowance for the pr?sent abnormal depreciation of valons, the grand fact stands ont that arable and ploughed lands, in the mest healthy counties of tb? State, may be bought at prioea ranging from $5 to $10 per aere, while wood and uncultiva? ted laids atay be bought at from* $2 to $5 per aere. Immigrants can, therefore, bay cleared land in this 8 tate suitable for the cultivation of eora, wheat and cotton, at a lower pri?e than, aa far as we know, simi- I lar land can be bought in any other ?art of the West or South. They will also enjoy the certainty that their property will rap? idly Lacrease in value; for th* completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad and the influx bf labor whioh will be obtained from one source or another, cannot fail to enhance theiatrinsio and market value of all the property In the State. Spain and the Confederacy. The New York papers are all agog over a statement made not long since by Mr. H. J. Perry, the American Secretary of Lega? tion in Spain, to the effect that the Govern? ment of Spain had resolved at one period of onr late civil war to oommenoa hostili? ties against the United States. The New York Times, in alluding to the matter, re? marks : " From Information that has since "reached us, we are inclined to believe the "statement well founded. The determination "of Spain was brought about by the intrigues "of the Emperor of the French, and wae "based on a complaint that our government "had been guilty of a violation of neutral "rights. The 9th of October, 1863, was "fixed upon as the day for commencing "hostilities, orders to that effect having "already been sent out by the Spanish "Government. Bnt through the active ef? forts of liberal Spaniards, devoted friends "of our oause as identical with their own, "counter orders were sent out by the "steamer from Cadiz of September 15, 1863, "and the whole affair was suppressed. ID "the present condition of Spanish politics "it would be highly imprudent to disclose "the names of the persons who rendered us "this service. They are all now, since the "revolution, prominent public men, and "their positions and influence would be "seriously compromised by a premature "disclosure of their agency ia this transac? tion." THE question of what onstitutes a "fam? ily," in the eye of the law, has lately been raised in Georgia. An application had been made before the Ordinary of Coweta County for homestead, under the constitu? tion and laws of Georgia, from Colonel Joe Calhoun, a baohelor, aged sixty years. Celonel Calhoun's creditors filed objection to the passage of an order by the ordinary assigning homestead in this oase, on the ground that the applicant was not the "head of a family," in a legal sense. It was admitted that he had neither wife nor children, but had servants in his employ? ment, and his counsel oontended that this fact constituted him the "head of a family." The ordinary sustained the objections, and the applicant appealed to the Superior Court. A '* WOMAN'S. PABUAJDEBT* is tbe latest pru? jeok ofilia dissatisfied petticoats of Now York. Tha body is to assemble on tho 5th of Octo? ber, at the call and trader tho auspicien of a committee, of which Mrs. D. G. Croly is chair? man. Thc circular states tho object of this parliament to bs to organize a legislative body of worn on to represent women upon all sub? jects of vital interest to themselves and their children. The function of the parliament is to crystallize the intelligence and influence of women into a moral and reformatory power which will act definitely upon all the varied interests of society. Among the special sub? jects mentioned for consideration are public education, prisons and reformatory schools, health, female labor, household economy, and corruption in public life, lt is proposed to make the parliament wholly distinct and apart from "the demand for women's rights, ao-caUod." lt will only recognize women's duties and propose a way to perform them. THE JEWS are very aotive and growing in wealth and influence. There are ten regularly employed Babbis in New York City,'and nearly as many synagogues. Cincinnati is not be I bind New York in this respect, and there are four or five in Boston. Some of their syna ? gogues in New York and Cincinnati are amongst the most costly and splendid religious edifices in the United States. They have schools of I the highest order, are projecting an American [ Jewish University, and have already one or two theological seminaries. Three matters of | importance, we are told, are just now occupy? ing the attention of the Jews at large. One is tbe revocation of the decree of 1495, by which Jews wore banished from Spain; tbe second is the establishment of an agricultural colony in Palestine; the third is a proposal to hold a universal synod in Germany next sum? mer. For a race four thousand years old these are signs of considerable vitality. Wm {Inbltcattotui. JJOOK BU YB RS WILL FIND IT TO THEIR ADVANTAGE TO CONSULT THIS CATALOGUE.
