Y. de Boissiere, a wealthy French 1 gentleman from the vioinity of Bordeaux, last ' year purchased a large tract of land near Otta? wa, Franklin County, Kansas, where he propo- ' sea to establish a coe sider ab le number of his i .countrymen. His undertaking is based upon ( the socialist idea of co-operation, both in agri- ( cultural labor and in the purchase of all arti? cles of consumption. ' -The Governments of Europe, it is said, are 1 gradually coming to the conviction that repeat- < lng rifles are a failure. The Swiss have given j them up as too complicated for use in the | field, and the French have put an end to , their trial cf Vetterli'e system. Almost all the , armies of Europe are of opinion that the new "?apon has been too hastily adopted, and are ' .about to reo'jmmenoe their experiments with Other breeoh-loaders. 1 -The Wos'orn lands, it la stated, ara rapidly | becoming exhausted from the production of ( oho class of crops and from the neglect to ap- ^ ply proper manures. The journals of that region assert that the grain-growing districts -of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri and Minnesota are ' yielding smaller crops to the acre every year, ( and the samo fact has been ' observed in tho < wheat districts of California. The Weet, as < well as the South, most adopt the plan of rota? tion of crops. -The Shoe and Leather Reporter says : * -Ladies' boots are mostly made to hatton or lace in front, kid or morocco stock being used, \ Serge goods ore scarcely worn in tho Northern , cities, the above material having taken its place. For information of those who may wish to know for what market the enormous quantity t of serge (or lasting; shoes made ia Massaohu- 3 setts this spring were sold, we will say that a 1 large portion of them went South, where all < the colored women seem to ran wild after , serge shoes, and wholesale dealers there in? formed ns a few weeks since that they had standing orders in all Nor them houses for all the goods of this kind they could make,. of ' sizes running from seven to twelve for women's < wear." t -Tho article of Justin McCarthy on "Mr. } and Mrs. Lewes" iii the Jane number of the < Galaxy has called the attention of tho public to tho disproportion Whioh exists between the opinion entertained of "Georg? Eliot".itt Eng- ] land and America. In England cultivated peo- ' pie regard the novels of "George Eliot" aa < ranking with the novels of Thackeray; in Amen- 1 oa there is no euoh measurement. The. reason 1 is that the American mind does not under- ] atand nor sympathisa with the sile of life pre-. , a?ntedin "Adam Sede," the "Mill on tho Floss," and "Felix Holt." They are wonder? ful pictures nevertheless, and are fairly enti? tled to tho place they have won at home. The relationship of "Mr. and Mrs. Lewes" is also the subject of comment. As far as vie remem? ber it the story IB this : Mr. Lewes was mar? ried in o ir ly life, his wife subsequently eloped with a paramour; three or four years later 1 Lowes found her io great distress and relieved i her necessities, settling up >n her a part of his ? income; he thoa applied fora divorce which , was retuaod by the English courts oa the j ground that his provision f sr tho erring wife was a forgiveness of her error. The ?botch oourts wore lees rigorous, however, and, hav- \ 1 ing seemed a divorce thoie, Lewes married ' Miss Evans on a Scotch certificate. < -The New Orleans Times relates (hat twen- < ty-flve j oars ago, when the case of MTH. Gaines \ first carno up for trial in that city, her counsel having withdrawn because of a difficulty with the judge, General Gaines himself claimed, as 4 an admitted member of the bar? to represent r his wife's interests. Unfortunately, when ho 1 studied law in Virginia, it was under a very < different system of jurisprudence, and he felt \ very much out at sea in the courts of a civil law State. He would, therefore, oak that the lady defendant, who was better acquainted with the remarkable facts of ber history than J any ono else, should be allowed to address ' the jury in her oise. The judge stated < that tho lady had the right to argue ber own , cleo. Then tho General, with that grand oki dignity for which h A was fio distin? guished, led forward Mrs. Gaiaes, who pro? ceeded to address thc jury at great length, reading Humorous documenta hearing upon ' her case. Whilst reading these documents, 1 the Judgo, who was a high-spirited, man, in- ' terforod, said notified her that she could not he allowed toread documenta which were not tn evidence in the ease. The lady atill persist? ing/, the Judge again interfered, and a disa? greeable wrangle arose, hi the midst oi whtoh Mrs. Usines charged the Judge with haring an interest against her. Jadge Buchanan retort ed with temper, and notified General Gaines that he . waa expected - to control .-biawife in court, where no persons were privileged. Whereupon the stately old General arose to his full attitude of si x fe o t th re o, ' and assuming the position of a commander of grenadiers, and gracefully touching the belt of his sword, responded: "Hay it please your Honor, for everything that lady shall say or do, I hold myself personally responsible in every manner and form known to the laws of my country or the laws of honor." This reply and the accom? panying action and the appearance of the gen? eral in his military garb, aroused to a still higher pitch the Irish fire of the judge, who quickly answered : "General Gaines, this court will not be overawed by military authorities." "Best assured, your Honor, that when an at? tempt of that sort is made, the sword which I wear hi conformity to the regulations of the service, and out of respect to this honorable court, will bo quiokly unsheathed to defend the rights and dignity ot your Honor and of all the civil tribunals of my country." After these explanations, peace and order were re? stored. CHARLESTON. THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 10, 1869. The Crops. Wo eontinue this morning the publieation oft let tera showing the condition of the orops in the different sections of the State. Upon the whole the accounts are encourag? ing, but we shall make no general oomment until our returns are complete. Tia? State Board of Equalisation. Our letters from different parts of the State contain vehement denunciations of the aolion of the State Board of Equalization in raising the assessments of roal estate. The county assessors were on the spot, and may be safely presumed to have had more trust, worthy information on the subject than oould be obtained by a central board sitting in Columbia. Their assessment should not have been meddled with, without the grav? est and most serious deliberation. Putting this and that together, we eon only account for the conduot of the State Board by sup? posing that the total values returned to them were muoh less than they expected, and were therefore run up haphazard to the desired amount. Governor Scott - who thinks that he knows as muoh about the State as any other man-announced that the taxable property would amount to about $800,000,000, and it must have been dis? gusting in the extreme when the total returns were found to amount to only $164 300,000 A correspondent in Walhalla, .puts the whole question in very few words. He says: " The assessed value of real estate in Dconee, has been raised one hundred per sent, while in Piokens, where lands are worth more, it is only raised twenty-five per ;ent. I heard s person remark the other lay that if the Radicals wanted all we had, just to say so, and not whip the devil ?onad the stump in that manner. This has tlways been a white county, and after thia IT WILL BB STILL WHITER. Ooonee and Piok? ens both went Democratic in May." This ia the key-note to strike. There is but one way to get rid of publie extrava? gance, high taxation, swarms of oounty ind township officers, boards of equaliza? tion and the Use. And that way is to de Teat Radicalism everywhere sad upon all occasions. This oan be done by showing that Radicalism in South Carolina is as ruin? ous to the pocket as it is destructive of in lustry and iategrity. Tlae Port Royal BaUvoad. The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says, that contracts have been exsonted which ?viii ensure the completion within the next wei ve months of the railroad between Au? gusta and Port Royal. Taylor & Co., of few York, are said to have contracted to ouild the road, one hundred and ten miles, 'for the sum of $700,000, to be paid to ?them in the stock of the company." We shall bs glad to see the Port Royal Railroad built, if it be done without a State mbsidy. It will not be easier io draw ?way trade from Charleston ta Port Royal than it has been to take trade from WU alington for the benefit of Beaufort, North Carolina; and the Savannah and Charleston Road wiU certainly be a gainer by the com? pletion of the new lins. We may add, that if Taylor & Co. oan build one hundred ind ten miles of railroad for $700,000, or a little more than $6000 a mile-the stoek being worth not more than par-we should like to take a few hundred miles more at the same price, . -, Tiie American Cyclopaedia, ?.The American Annual Cyclopaedia," for 1868, is just issued from the press of D. Appleton & Co. This is the eighth issue of this important annual register, bringing down the,record of events to the close, of j the year 1868. It embraces the complete Etnhals of military, civil and social affairs of every country for the last year, afford? ing the most thorough contemporaneous bistory in the language. It is a record pf all that has been done in government, oivil ?nd military; a history of commerce, soi ?noe, discovery, literature, finance, sgri julture and mechanical industry; lt con? tains biographies of the distinguished dead; public documents; statistics; lt treats of all sountries and of all interests. It is a work af referenoe for the professional and busi* aess man, and a book important to ail who iesire to keep themselves well informed in the world's doings. A PUBLIC MBSTivo has been held in Darlington to organise a cotton factory, There was muoh enthusiasm,, and committees were appointed to open books and get the enterprise fairly under way. Well done, Darlington! ?o *< ?-? ?* ? - TBS oitisens of Orangeburg, as will be icen from the letter of oar correspondent, are taking vigorous action against the ac Lion of the State Board of Equalisation. .".?.:.. .<M*vt??.%M8fW A im Knglub View of?h? tlhanoM ??? W?r wlWithe United Statt*. In the following artiole, the London Spec? tator, an able and influential English jour? nal, discusses the chancee and cost of a war with the United State?. The Spectator seizes at onoe upon the root of the difficul? ty, vi* i that the Union has a South whioh it cannot despite nacl dare not truet5 and fa touching upon the questions of finance, the defence of the Canadas, and the power of Groat Britain to support a huge army and powerful navy, the English editor writes with a straightforward frankness altogether different from the rant and bluster whioh fill the Northern Radical journals when they hound ?>? the masses to demand Canada or War : "Why do Americana think us weak? Be? cause we oould not defend the Canadian fron? tier ? Possibly not; but we should infallibly try to do it, and Americans, who on this point at least are not unfair, will acknowledge that to destroy a British army of a hundred thou? sand men, backed by the Canadian population, and by a fleet sufficient to blockade every port north of the Potomac, would be a task requir? ing all their resources. That effort would over? tax us ? We made it in 1857, Bending an army Ave times tho distance, and, after three yeats of a war which covered a continent, that army remained in India, with its strength unbro? ken or increased, while at home another still greater had gathered in reserve. But we have Ireland ? Has not the Union a South, or do Northern Amerioans believe that the senti? ment of Irishmen toward us is worse than that of the Southerneis toward them? England, if forced into this horrible war, would and could stop at nothing, would and could rMly in Virginia the men of the 'tos? cause' 60ft ?nd a weH-ai4>ointed European army, supported by a population north and south, in Ganada as in Virginia, whioh would know that in her victory alone could their security be found. The blacks? Are we an enslaving power, or is the Lidian constitution intolerable to colored men? Even then, when this had been attempted and the Union was assailed on two sides, from north and south in eaoh direction by four millions of men rallying round that hardest of kernels, a British army, we should have exerted but one fifth of the strength we displayed in the Pen? insular war, when, with Ireland included, we wero-but fifteen millions. We arc twenty now without Ireland. We had then a million of men on foot, and drove through Spain a sol? dier who wielded, when the war began, re? sources in men even greater than those at the disposal of General Grant. Oar finances ? A debt double that of America-that is, an addi? tion of three hundred millions to our debt would but leave us where the Union is now, for she pays double interest on her loans. In 1815, for every pound an Englishman received he paid 7s. Gd. to the State. He now pays 2s. The difference alone would yield one hundred and twenty millions a year-that is, support tho war without incurring debt. Bat thoa our commerce ? There is no saying what resources thirty millions of Anglo-Saxons may find in j their energy and patriotism; but we are Anglo Saxons also, and at first all naval advantages would be on our side. The Amerioans are de? ceived by Parliamentary talk. There is no fleet in existence which could stand three months before our own; out merchant navy outnumbers that of the world in combination, and earth itself is but a coaling station for Great Britain. From Heliogoland to Hong Kong, everywhere we have harbors, docks, coals, cannon. Our sailors are the same in race, in training, in courage, as the men who followed Farragut; our officers the same as the men who blockaded the Son th; our vessels the result of a comp?tition to whioh America has been but a par y. . Why should wo bs defeated any more than our cousins? Is- it not at all events, possible, -thae-aft?r-?Iaughtftr and rait"" such as might make devils wince, we should emerge for the moment masters of the sea, with our commerce as seoure as at present, and our maritime prestige higher tbao ever ? 'Look at it how we will, war between America and Eng? land is mere destruction, mere loss, a civil war in whioh the only possible gainers are the enemies of both; but why in that contest of suicides should we not be at least the last to perish ? Because the Union is so large ? Com? pared .with the territories of Qaeen Victoria, it is a speck on the earth's surface. That sen? tence is nonsensical, we acknowledge, but it is true, and is aa sensible as the argument it re? futes, lu war, concantration is everything, not dispersion, and we have the population ol the entire North concentrated in a territory leas extensive than Pennsylvania and New York. The policy whioh crushed the South oannot be applid to us; for when we had lost the lived tho South has lost, all we should feel would bo that oar existing emigration had been diverted to an unforeseen purpose. There is something shocking to ourselves in the mero use of suoh an argument; but the war against which we use it would be mote shock? ing still-a war between equals, between broth? ers, a civil war spread over earth, a war in whioh every incident of slaughter would have the moral effect of massacre, a war in whioh every victory on either side would be sheer loss, a war without a limit or a conceivable end. We oould gain nothing by the war, even if we triumphed, and America nothing, for Canada is not worth a doubled debt; while if we los? wo lose only Canada, and America, if she loses, loses the unity she has spent so much of blood and treasure to preserve. There never was such an act of lunacy as suoh a war would be, yet it is snob a war thai speech oe like that of Mr. Sumner would force on." lem jlBMtfetf0M.

Because lt ls a homo institution managed and controlled by your own citizens. ad. Because lt Is the only monled institution of tbe kind that loans its funds in the States from which they are derived. 3d.
