It appears that Bishop Whitehouse has noti? fied the Bev. Mr. Cheney, pastor of Christ Church, that he must cease the Omission of of the word "regenerate" in the baptismal services. But Mr. Cheney states that he can? not conscientiously use it. The Bishop has given him un til Monday to decide, and either nee the word or be degraded from the minis? try. It is mid that Mr. Cheney's congregation warm'y (apport hm. .-Oa Monday eveoinj one of the members of the Cuban Ladies' Belief Assoo iation in New York relived from Havana about twenty thou? sand dollars' worth of magnificent jewelry-di? amond), robies, emeralds, Ac.-the personal contributions of patriot ic ladies in Havana to the canse of Cuban independence. Among them.were some tiny sets of jewelry worn by ceil Iren, which bad been contributed in aid of the-patriots. Theaearticles are to be sold at a Juir to be given by the ladies of the associa? tion, to ba held some time next month. -Chinese laborers, fr 3sh from the Pacific, have already made their appearance in New O- leane, probably the forerunners of thousands of then* race, wao will flock to the sugar and nee fields of the Pelican State, by way of tho railroad and the river. John Chinaman, with h|s frugal and industrious habits, will be a welcome assistant to the planters in that sec ti m. One load of coolies was imported thither from Havana two years since, and are still working upon a-s upar plantation in Laiourehe, but lbs Customhouse officials nipped the en? terprise, and stopped the further importation. But how can it be stopped this time ? -It is announced in most of the French pa? pers that the, principal shops in Paris will henceforth be closed on Sand ty*. This im? portant social reform is not (he result of a re? ligious movement, but has been brought about by the ?ame kind of agency which, io England, hoe introduced tho Saturday half holiday. Tbe Society of tho Employes do Commerce in? form the public that, with few exceptions, all tho linen-drapers, vendors of ready-made ap? parel, silk mercers, and hosiers of Paris have consented to close their shops on Sundays, and the employees '"appeal to thc good will of the public to aid them in maling thc measure general." -Geo. T.Jones, an engraver, of Cincinnati, has perfected and patented a system of print? ing ba ok notes, which, it is Baid, defies coun? terfeiting. He prints on unsized paper, which is well known to take the clearest and sharpest impressions, and then proceeds to apply mc clinically a sizing perfected by him, which, having been set by subjection to a heat of 200 decrees, is henceforth insoluble and irremov? able vri thc nt di s troy i nc th) impression be? neath it, and thus leaving the paper nearly white and wholly illegible. The colors, heine wisely chosen, cannot bo photographed, but .re japanned, as it were, sod laugh at the most ingenious and skilful efforts to transfer, which can b ) rt m ned only by effacing or des? troying rbem. -The Nsw York correspondent (Jane 7) of inc Phi'ade phla LeJgar writes : "The yellow fever, 1 regret ts say, is at quarantine. North Germa-a bark Brost sn 1 Benno, from Havana f r Queens own, pat in there this morning for medical assistance part or the crew being down with that disease. Two of the erew, 3l Wilhelm Botge sod Heinrich Bods, died from the disease- on Friday hat, and were buried at Bea. The second officer, Helmutz Sluo, while delirious from the fever, jumped ove!board and was drowned. The captain and four others have si! been down with it, but are now reported convalescent. The quaran? tine authorities have given instructions that the vessel shall have no communication with the shore. Steamers Iiaho and City of Balti? more arrived at this port to-day, from Livery pool, with a total of nearly two thousand pas? sengers. K -A Springfield, Illinois, paper bas an ac? count of a shower of what, for want of a better name, that paper calls "snakes," wbichfell daring the great atorm of last week in that vioinity. It says : "On Saturday and Sunday last, every ditch, brook and pool on the prairie north of Taylorville was alive with nondescript creatures, which have been described to ns as being from one and a half to two feet long, and from three-fourths of au inch to an inch in di? ameter. The diameter is very slightly lessened at the head and tail. The tail is dat like that of an eel, hut has no caudal fin; indeed, there is no fin at all. The head is in shape that of an eel, hut the mouth is tbat of a sucker. The eyes are small, and the ears are simply ori? fices. Immediately behind the head, on each side, is a flipper, like that of a turtle, say three-fourths of an inch to an inch in length, inoluding tho limb, which has? perfectly de? veloped joint. In color these snakes, or what? ever they are, are a dark blue." CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE ll, 1869. Oar Personal Property. The assessed value of the different de? scriptions of personal property in the Stale of South Carolina, under the different heads, is shown in the following table, which has been compiled expressly for THE NXWS, from the returns of the D?atriot Assessors: Class. No. Value. 1. Horses.....'50.071 $ 8.925,581 2. Cattle.270,987 2,589.972 3. Males and ?sea?.. 39,257 3.611,672 4. Sheep and Goats. .164.421 198,668 5. Hogs..-.468,373 1,450,428 6.

All other property. 8.169,899 Total value.$38,828,446 The average value of each article of per ional property, where it can be shown, is is follows: Horses $78 40; oattle $9 55; nales and asses $92; sheep and goats $120; togs $3 09; piano fortes and melodeons $99 97; carriages $47 66; dogs $2 07. The system of taxation under whioh the 'oregoing assessments are made being alto? gether new in this State, we have no de ailed returns of former years with whioh .o compare the results. Some few inter sating poinfa may, however, be made. According to the census of 1860, the total ralus-of personal property in South Caro? lina, was, at that time, $350,546,444 Da iuoting from the amount thus shown the estimated value of the slaves, the remain? ing personal property wai worth $198,684, Hi, in 1860, as against $38,828,446 at this Lime. Making all due allowance for exces live estimates in 1860, ?nd undue depreci? an at this moment, as well as for the fact .hat there ?re now included in the tai list nany values whioh were not included be? fore, we have still th? ?triking fact that the : personal property in the State is now worth from $125,000,000 to $150,000,000 less than it was worth before the war. We may also notice that we have now only 50,071 horses, against 81,125 in 1860, and only 89,257 mules and asses, against 56,456 in 1860. These figures show the fearful loss in live itcck caused by the war; and while they ac jount for many of the difficulties under which itrr farmers have labored, will also indioate >ur great deficiency in animals required for igricaltural purposes. Mach of the falling iff in the number of horses may be acooun Led for by the general' inability of our peo? ple to keep animals for purposes of pleas are; but this has had no effect in reducing the number of work animals of other kinds. Ot hogs, in 1860, we had 965,779. We have now but 468 378. It is well known that in many parts of the State the predatory Babita of the freedmen made it almost im? possible to raise hogs in large numbers. Bat for this we might now have as many hogs ?9 in 18G0, our people being fully awakened to the necessity of making meat for home consumption. In the face of thece unpleasant results, it is gratifying to note that we have 341,009 pianos and melodeons in the State, and that notwithstanding the ravages of General Sherman, we have still nearly 16,000 pleasure carriages. In Charleston County there are but 396 pleas? ure carriages all told. Bafore the war, nearly every family had a carriage of some kind. One very surprising feature in the return for the State, is the amount set down as the value of all credits. Under thc present system, thc term credits nitvus the remain? der du-?, or to become due to a person, afttr deducting from all debts nud obligation due him :he amount of nil debts and de? mands due by him. It does, (ben, seem passing strange that the total value of credits in the Slate should be only $2,174, 321. Bat it is even mor? strange that the average monthly value of tho stocks of all the merchants in the State should be no more than $-5,391,283. As we have had occasion to say before, the tax law is so intricate in its machinery, and so tediously confusing in its language, that it was very difficult to make returns whioh would be striotly correct. Every taxpayer had, more or less, to put his own construction upon the law, and it is only natural that every one should have taken to himself the benefit of the ambiguous clauses of which the tax law is full. Il is still certain that our personal property has depreciated to a terrible extent since I860; but we may confidently hope that the returns of next year will show, on account of the improve? ment in the value of property and s greater familiarity with th? law, a Car mer? grati? fying result than ws record to ds/. The Crops. We print this morning additional crop statements from counties not before report ed, and supplementary reports from other districts. The accounts on the whole are good, and the negroes are working well. The Cincinnati Southern Hallway. The Rajjroad and Law Committee of the City Council of Cincinnati, in their report to the City Council recommending Chatta? nooga as the terminus of *the proposed Southern Railroad, say: "In naming the "terminus and thus indicating the direc "tiou of the Southern Railway, it is with "the belief that a grand intermediate line "to Chattanooga will not only strike the "key to the largest system of railways in "the South, but trill also secure connecting "roads to Knoxville and Nashville, Tennes? see, and Decatur, Alabama, and that the "value and importance of such connections "will attract publio and private capital to "speedily complete them." This fully sustains the arguments already advanced by us, that Cincinnati, although it may adopt Chattanooga as the terminal point of its new railroad line, must make a connec? tion with Knoxville. The branoh to Knoxville will give us a line to Cincinnati only 22 miles longer than if the main line had been run to Knoxville, while we shall have a better connection with Louisville than if Knoxville had been made by Cincinnati the objective point of her system. If Chattanooga should be finally adopted by the ??opie of Cincinnati, at the election on the 26;h inst, it will only be another proof that in municipal affairs the public good is too often sacrificed lo personal and private interests. The people at large would undoubtedly select Knoxville as the terminus; but it is probable that they will be so worked upon and confused by the ad? vocates of the Chattanooga line thar they will be glad to olose tho discussion by voting in favor of that place. A few men of abundant means generally control even the largest corporations, and it will be no matter of surprise if Chattanooga carries the day. Charleston, however, mast have a good oonneotion with both Cinoinnali and Louisville by the time that the Blue Ridge Railroad is completed. This is the great work now before us. pissolation of Copartnership. DISSOLUTION OF COPA KT.N"K Kt?HI I*. We hereby give notice that the late firm ot BUNT BROTHERS k CO., of Charleston, B.
