It appears thal Bishop Whitehouse hos noti? fied the Kev. Mr. Cheney, pastor of Christ -Church, that he must cease the omission of .of the word "regenerate" in ibo baptismal services. But Mr. Cheney states that he can? not conscientiously use it. The Bishop has -given him until Monday to decide, ard either use the word or be degraded from the minis? try. It is said that Mr. Cheney's congregation warmly support h'm. -On Monday evening one of tho members of the Cuban Ladies' Belief Assopiation in New York received from Havana about twenty thon* sind dollars? worth of magnificent jewelry-di? amonds, rubies, emeralds, Ac- the personal contributions of patriotic'ladies in Havana to Mit cause of Coban independence. Among them were some tiny sets of jewelry worn by children, which had been contributed in aid of the patriots. These articles are to be sold at a fair to be given by the ladies of the associa iion, to bs held some time next month, -Chineso laborers, fr3sh from the Pacific, have already mode their appearance in New .O. leans, probably the forerunners of thousands of their race, w'ao will flock to the sugar and rica fields of the Pelican State, by way of the railroad and the river. John Chinaman, wi'h his frugal and industrious habits, will be a welcome assistant to the planters in that sec ti tn. One load of coolies was imported thither from Havana two years sinc.% and are still working upon a sugar plantation io Lafourche, but the Ca.stomb.ou93 officiais nippod the en- , terprise, and stopped the further importation. But how oan it bo stopped this time? - -It is announced inmost of the French pa? pers that tho principal eh ops in Paris will henceforth be closed on Sunday. This im? portant social reform ia not tho result of a re? ligious movement, hat has been brought about by the same kind of agency which, in England, Inn introduced tho Saturday half-holiday. Tho Society of tho Employes de Commerce in? form the public tbaf, with few oxcoptions, all th3 iinon-drapors, venders of ready-mado ap? parel, ni Ik mercers, and hosiers of Paris havo consented to uloao their shops on Sundays, and the employees "appeal to tho good wiil of tho public to aid thom in making tho measure general." -Geo. T. Jones, an engraver, of Cincinnati, has perfected and patented a system of print? ing ba ok notes, which, it is. said, defies coun? terfeiting. Ho prints on unsized paper, which is well known to take tho dearest and sharpest impressions, and then proceeds to apply me? chanically a's'ziog perfected by him, which, having been sot by subjection to a heat of 200 <dr,'reos, ia henceforth insoluble and irre mo v ii bio' without destroying th) impression be? neath it, and thus leaving the paper nearly white and wholly illegible. The colors, being wisely chosen, cannot bo photographe!, but are japanned, as it were, .and laugh at tho most ingenious and skilful efforts to transfer, which can ba r< m n ed only by effacing or des? troying 'hem. -The New York correspondent (Juno 7) of the Philadelphia Ledger writes : "Ihe yellow Jever, I regret t? s.iy, is at quarantine. North ?German hark Ernst an 1 Benno, from Havana 1 r Queenstown, put in there this morning for ttittticol Resistance, part of the crew being down with that disease. Two of the crew, nam 51 Wilhelm Betgo Mid Heinrich Bods, died from the disease on Friday last, and were buried at sea. The seeond officer, Helmuts Stuo, while delirious from the fever, jumped overboard and was drowned. Tho captain and foor other? have ali been down with it, bat are now reported convalescent. The quaran? tine authorities have given instructions that the vessel shall have no communication with the shore. Steamers Iiaho and Oity of Balti? more arrived at this port to-day, from Liver? pool, with a total of nearly two thousand pas? sengers.' -A Springfield, Illinois, paper has an ac? count of a shower of what, for want of a better name, that paper calls "snakes," which foll during the great storm of laat week in that vicinity. It says : "On Saturday ami Sunday last, every ditch, brook and pool on the prairie north of Taylorville waa alive with nondescript creatures, which have been described to us as being from one and a half to two feet long, and from three-fourths of au inch to an inoh in di? ameter. The diameter is very slightly lessened at the head and tail. The tail ia flat like that of an eel, but has no caudal fin; indeed, there is no fin at all. Tho head is in shape lhat of an eel, bnt the mouth is that of a sucker. The eyos are small, aud the ears are simply ori? fices. Immediately behind the head, on each side, is a flipper, Uko that of a turtle, say three-fourths of au inoh to an inoh in length, inoluding the limb, whioh has a perfectly de? veloped joint. In color these snakos, or what? ever they are, are a dark b' uo." CHARLESTON. FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE ll, 1869. Uar Personal Property. Tho assessed value of the different de? scriptions of personal property in the State of South Carolina, under the different heads, is shown in the following table, whiob hos been oompiled expressly for THE NEWS, from the roturus of the District Assessors : Class.

All other property. 8169,899 Total value.$38,828,446 The averago value of eaoh artiole of per sonal property, whore it can be shown, is as follows : Horses $78 40; cattle $9 55; mules and asses $92; sheep and goats $1 20; hogs $3 09; piano fortes and melodeons $09 97; carriages $47 GO; dogs $2 07. The system of taxation under whioh the foregoing assessments are made being alto? gether new ia this State, we have no de? tailed returns of former years with whioh to compare the results. Some few inter? esting pointe may, however, be mad?. According to the census o nt 800, the total value, of personal property"^ South Caro? lina was, at that time, $359,546,444. De? ducting from the amount thus shown the estimated value of the slaves, the remain? ing personal property was worth $198,584, 044, in I860, aa against $38,828,448 at this time. Slaking all due allowance for exces? sive estimates in 1860, and undue depreol tion at this moment, as well as for the fact that there are now included in the tax list many values whioh were not included be? fore, we have still the striking 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 onlj 39,257 mules and asses, against 56,456 ia 1860. These figures show the fearful IOBS in live steck caused by the war; and while they ac? count, for many of the difficulties under whioh our farmers have labored, will also indioate our great deficiency in animals required for agricultural purposes. Muoh of the falling off in the number of horses may be accoun? ted for by the general inability of oar peo? ple to keep animals for parpases o/ pleas? ure; bat this has had no effect in reducing the number of work animals of other kinds. Of hogs, in 1860, we had 965,779. We have now bat 468,878. It is well*known that in many parta of the State the predatory habits of the freedmen mad? it almost im? possible to raise hogs in large numbers. Pat for this.we might nov? have as many hogs as in 1860, our people being fully awakened to the necessity of making meat for hem? consumption. In the face of theta unpleasant resolte, it is gratifying to note that we have 841,000 pianos and melodeons in the State, and that notwithstanding the ravages of General Sherman, we have still nearly 16,000 pleasure . oarriages. In Charleston County there are but 396 pleas? ure carriages all told. Before the war, nearly every family had a carriage of some kind. Oae very surprising feature In Ihe return for the State, is the amount set down as the value of all credits. Under the present system, the term credits means the remain? der due, or to become due to a peraon, after deducting from all debts and obligations due him thc amount of all debts and de? mands due hy him. It does, then, seem passing strange that the total value of j credits in the State should be only $2,174, 821. Bat it is even more strange that tho average monthly value of the stocks of all the merchants In the State should be no more than $5,891,283. As we have had occasion to say before, the tax law is so intricate in its machinery, j and so tediously confusing in ita language, that it was very difficult to make retaras whioh would be strictly oorreot. Every taxpayer had, more or less, to pat his own construction apon the law, and it is only natural that every oae should have taken te himself the benefit of (he ambiguous clauses of whioh the tax law ia full. It is still certain that oar personal property has depreciated te a terrible extent sine? r 00; but we may confidently hope that the returns of nest year will show, on account of the improve? ment in the value of property and a greater familiarity with the law, a far mere grati? fying result than we record to day. Th? Crops. We print this morning additional orop ?tatfwent* 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 Bouthern naUvrar. The Railroad 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 : "Ia naming the "terminus and thus indicating the direc? tion 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, bat will also secure connecting "roads to Knoxville and Nashville, Tennes? see, and Deoatur, Alabama, and that the "value and importance of such connections "will attract public and private capital to "speedily complete them." This fully sustains the arguments already advanoed 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 branch 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 j Knoxville had been mado by Cincinnati the objective point of her system. If Chattanooga should be finally adopted by the people of Cincinnati, at the election on the 20 h inst, it will only be another proof that in municipal affairs the publio good is too often sacrificed to 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 that they will be glad to olose the discussion by voling 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. Chaileston, however, must have a good oonneotion with both Cincinnati and Louisville by the time that the Blue Ridge Railroad is oompleted.
