Impressed by the importance of j ihe occasion, Bon. B. M. T. Hunter publishes a- - a long letter, urging the people to deal \ the eire om-tances in which the j are placee as to make the most of them. "Between evils, he says, "let ns choose the !east. Ui this view of the case, I shoo ld not he Bit at give my vote, if I had one, to Walker for ( ernor, for a Conservative State Oovernm and for the expurgation of the conslitn submitted to the people of Virginia for ra cation. I am for taking every step towt self-government for which an opportunity i be afforded me by the majority that mles Concessions may be forced upon thom by necessities of the times, or be made hom a e returning sense of justice. I will take thei they come, be they little or much, without qniry into the motive which prompts tb if they enable os to take another step towi the restoration of our State to the right self-government." Mr. Hunter elaborates views at some length, concluding as folie "The white people of Virginia have now aa pirtunity to restore the State to the right self-government, and to obtain the contre its political power at home and in the Oem Government. If they fail to do so it will their own fault, and owing to their apathy i iadecision. Before they lose such a re snit, them consider in time what a loss it will let them remember, too, that their major though decided, is small, and to secure si relief as is possible, every conservative vc should cast his vote and unite in the como cause. I know that our position is diffici and that even if we obtiin the victory, we si require wisdom, forbearance and energy reap its fruits; but I have faith in my fell? citizens, and when I see Virginians ruling \ gima, I shall feel that the first great st which costs more than any otber, has bi taken towards the restoration of her rig! and prosperity." CHARLESTON, TUESDAY MORNING. JDNE 29, 1869. Pence ox W ar. The position of tho Emperor Napoleon one fall of embarrassment. There is deabt that the department* are still wi him; bat the cities ?nd towns ?re oppos to his dy nae ty, aird their power is shov by the fact that oat of 8,000,000 Tot ?Mt at the late elections, 2,600,0 were given to the opposition candidate Even Pams, 'for which Napoleon h ione so much, will net be mollified, ai bas given the government candidates bat beggarly show of votes. If Napoleon determined to maintain peaoe at any prie he may adopt one of three lines of polio The ohoioe is between taking back tl modioum of freedom he has already gran ed, changing the form of government that of A constitutional monarchy, ai making a new bid for general popular sn port. Any one of these is open to mai objeotions. To set ap a new despotis would be te falsify the pledges and max in of many years. To make himself the hei of a parliamentary government were di tasteful in the highest degree, whatevi Baorifioe he may be willing to make for tl sake of the Prinoe Imperial To bid f< the clamorous applause of the people by change of polioy in regard to Some, won! be to alienate those who are now his strong est supporters. And it must not be forgo ten that the bitterest foes of Napoleon d not desire to be appeased. They want republic, and will be satisfied with nothin Less. It is, then, evident that in a peaoe polio Napoleon o an hardly find an easy way < escaping from- the difficulties whioh soi round him. On the other hand, it is oei tain that a brilliant and victorious wa would restore his prestige and seat hil more firmly than ever on the throne. Th army is with the Emperor, heart and soul and Napoleon may be willing to rna th hatards of a fallare for the sake of th ohanoe* of success. The Emperor is no one who threatens before he is ready ti ?trike the blow. When war comes it wil be without a word of s?ricas warning; ba the ?peech of the Emperor at Chalons ii most significant, whether it be taken as en ?ouregement to the army or as a means o: feeling the poise of Franoe. Napoleon can ?f ooaree, declare once more that the Em? pire ia Peace; bat there is now a groatei probability of a European war than there aas been sinoe the first days of Magenta and Solferino. A war, indeed, is the only sola lion of the difficulties of the position whieb suggests itself to the outside observer, and Napoleon is not the man to hesitate because -here is some chance that the remedy maj oe as bad as the disease. The State Tatzes, Most of the State papers now contain articles or communications showing the ?tanner in whioh the assessed value of th?, taxable property has been inoreased by the State Board of Equalization. The effect in learly ?very ease is oppressive in the ex? treme* bat the people have no means of re? cessing their grievance*. It was oar opin? ion that the total value of the real and personal estate in South Carolina should oe at least $200,000,000, bat the respec? table men who made the returns are better able to determine the cash value of their property than are the Colombia Triumvi? rate, and even if in some instances the re? turns were too low, it is unjust and arbitrary to tax a whole county for the fault of a few of its citizens. Articles which wo find in the Oconee Courier, Spartanburg Gazette and Sumter Nows, 6how the state of affairs in tho counties of Ooonee, Pickcns, Spartanburg and Sumter. The value of the real and personal prop? erty ia Ooonee and Piokens, as fixed by the State Board of Equalization, is : Ooonee.. . Pickens. Total. Real estate... $2.373 693 $ 834.162 $3,227,855 Personalty... 897,078 400,667 1,297,745 $3.270.771 $1,254.829~ $1525.600 The personal property in Ooonee includes $387,780, the assessed value of the Blue Ridge Railroad in that county. Upon the total property in the two counties, $4,625, 500, the State tax is $33,941. In the year ?ding Ostober 1, 1867, the State tax of Pickens district-now divided into Ojonee ind Pickens Counties-was $7,455, so that ander the new regime the State taxes are learly five times as large as they were two -ears ago. The county taxes will amount .o $13,573 more; so that the total tax? ation of the two counties this year will be $47,514 Ooonee is composed largely of mountains and sandy ridges, and many farms are assessed at doable and treble their value. Two farms which sold after the close of the war for $18,700, and oan be bought now at that price, are assessed at $27,400. Ia Spartanbarg, according to the Gazette, it seems that after the County Board of j Equalization had met and aeted apon the assessment, as made by sworn assessors, the County Auditor assumed the personal responsibility of increasing or equalizing them. In what manner or by whose au? thority this equ il ii airs was made the people are ignorant. The county which had been regarded as one of the poorest in personal effects in the State, now ranks next to Charleston; the assessed value of the per? sonal property being higher thao ia Rich? land-whioh includes Columbia-George? town, Beaufort or Greenville. This is com? ment enough. In the Town of Sumter the real estate was returned acoording to the valuation of three sworn appraisers, the owners having nothing to do with it. The assessment for the whole county has been raised 50 per cent, whioh has put the town property at all events at a price far higher than it would bring in the market underthe most favorable circumstances. THE CONDITION of things on our sea islands is the subject of a very interesting letter, printed in another column of to? day's NEWS. The writer, by a lifetime of I assiduous attention te the culture of long staple cotton, has identified his came in the markets of both hemispheres with its suc? cessful production; and the thoughtful and highly practical views he presents are emi? nently worthy the attention of all who are interested in that important branch of the agriculture of oar State.

THE SACRISTAN'S HOUSEHOLD : A Story of Lippe Detmold. By the Author of Aunt Marga? ret's Trouble. With Illustration? by C. G. Bosh. New York : Harper & Brothers. 1869. Charleston : Holmes' Book House. It is not often, even in these days of trans? lations, that we meet with a story of German life so fresh, and withal so pore, as the one now before ?e. There is no striking original? ity of plot and no straining after effect; but the characters are well and dearly drawn, and those who are familiar with the miniature cap? ital towns of Germany will acknowledge the truth and fidelity of the whole qoaint picture. The story opens in 1865 and covets tho excit? ing times of the Austro-Prussian war, when youth and mature age were eager to wield the sword for sn United Germany. The popular oontest between Conservatism and Progress, which was the roark of those stirring days, lends zest to the story, and the chances of the active straggle enablo the honest hero to win a willing bride. As we have said, it ie a' lively and amusing story, one which every one may read with pleasuro if not with actual profit. Pp. 158. Price 75 cents. _Coi^rrsi,i]i Uoliff. Lui i TKO PARTNERSHIP.-THE UN?
