WASHINGTON, July 12.-Judge Chase has or? dered the application for a writ of habeas cor? pus, in the osas of Colonel Verger, to he heard on Wednesday. Yerger ia ander trial, by a military commission, for the killing of Colonel Crane at Jackson, Mississippi. The first point argued will he that of Jurisdiction. If that be decided affirmatively, the merits o? the mili- j tary commission will be argued, because the Judge will not grant the writ unless the facts alleged in the petition would enable him to discharge the prisoner. In other words, Jod?e Chane will not have tbe prisoner brought nero from Mississippi only to reoomntit him to the custody of the conunissioo. In thia branch of the hearing the recent opinion of Attorney 1 Hoai in the Weaver case, cernes np rreview and adjudication, and a decision on Se constitutionality of th9 past Beoonstroc aohs, authorizing military trials in the j present condition of the country, will be given.

We noticed that large jars were placed noder each table, into which all tbe grounds were tossed. Ctiioese do not, as already stated s eep their tea in a pot, but put it into your cop,'poor in hot water, cover-j ing tbe cap to keep ia the steam, allowing it ' to stand about five min?tes, draining it off and refilling. The second cop ia considered the best, end the third filling is very good. Bot when the strength is exhausted - the grounds are thrown into the jars, taken ont doors, Bpiead on cloths, dried, doc oreel, repacked, and sent over tone. The . avara re cost of tea in Chios is from fifteen to twenty cents per pound, bot duties, freights insurance, interest on capital, profits io import- rs and middle men, swell it to prices which make it an' article of luxury.

[nov otra own coBszEPosDFNT. ; COLUMBIA, Joly 12.-The consolidation meet? ing of the two railroads-the Charlotte and Sooth Carolina, and the Columbia and Augus I ta-has boen the great event of the week, and yet there ie very little to be said about it. The interest of the railroads seemed to conflict with thal of Columbia, and hence ?rose two parties in the meeting. The railroads had the power in their hands and carried their end the consolidation of the two roads. The mi? nority iliat opposed thi8,claim to have the local interest of the city at heart, lt ie, however, an anomaly in political economy if a general good does not in the end work a local or spe? cial good where at first blush there appeared ? to bea club between toe general and the spe? cial. Although the partisan feeling just now is raming high, it is apparent that the com? munity ia disposed to accept the liberal and rational view, and to see in the good of the State and country-in the good of commerce I and trade-aleo the good of Columbia. And | this opinion win prevail. ESCAPED CONVICTS. There is a good deal of comment among our citizens upon the recent escapes from the State Penitentiary. The local press has called j attention to the escape of Hezekiah Jones, a I I negro, of Beaufort, convicted there of murder, j and sentenced to ten years in the Penitentiary. It is stated that this murderer had been de? tailed to work at the residence of the superin? tendent, Hom which it would appear that he was having rather an agreeable berth for one I . convicted of so grave a crime. The statement j is inrther that this murderer ha a falling out with his wife, and beat her and ran away for tear of being punished for basting Hrs. Jones. We were all el ow to behove this possible, and waited to see the ett tennent authoritatively contradicted. There bas been no contradic- I Lion of it, and accordingly, after the lapseof I I several weeks, the community is beginning to I ! realize that there-is a murderer at large amorjg them. The authorities have not offered even ian dalian reward- for his arrest. Doubtless I ike tact has never been brought to the knowledge of his Excellency, who is thought to be a little over-ready to offer rewards for the arrest of men even suspected of buch felony j when they are white, and especially if they are I not Republicans. Bat, after all, the community may be pardoned for failing to see the differ? ence between an escaped murderer and one turned loose among them by executive clem? ency. Another escape is chronicled. A citizen of Colombia tells me that be saw the escape of a ooo. vi ct from the guard, near the Fair Grounds, several days ago. The guard was a negro, so also wis the convict. The latter broke away and made gocd his escape from the guard, who was armed with a revolver. The convict ran across a large open field of cotton, and took time to change his penitentiary clothes for others as he ran. The negro guard, how ever, failed to catch him, tailed to shoot at bim, and only shouted after him that he would better step-that if be didn't stop he'd tell Mr. I Stolbrand. Bnteven thu fetrful threat did I not stop the escaping convict. And although two of the guard were sent an boor or two la- { ter to scour the fields for bim, he is still at J large. Has not been advertised. Mo reward baa been offered. We have the grim satis fae-1 tioa, however, of knowing that the felon is sorely punished for his temerity-that, where ever he is, he lurks in some obscure place with the dreadful coosdoosness that Hr. Stolbrand has been informed of his disgraceful flight. SraOtEB BESOBTd. Our summer-fagged people are beginning to east wistful eyes towards the mountains. Those who want sulphur and iron to drink and moon tains to look at, are thinking of spark ling Catawba and Cleveland Springs; and tbose who take the minerals without the mountains think of Glenn's. Those who prefer moan taine to minerals are looking for quarters at Walhalla, and Greenville, and Flat Bock, and Cesar's Head. Walhalla is said to be already crowded with Colombians. Very few of our people are making np their toilets and pones for sash resorts as Saratoga and Newport; and only one here and there even look as far irom bojgm as the Virginia Springs. Onr people seem to be at work, and in no mood for gaiety or display. ITEM?. The Board of Trastees of the University of Sooth Carolina are to meet to-day, at noon. - The Spngue-Pearce party have looked aronnd about the canal; and this gives t htm the technical right to wait six months more before they forfeit the two hundred dol?an. Has Senator Spragne any spindles in New England that might suffer in the event of somebody else's establishing an immense factory on this canal ? The question is a fair one. Public opinion is decidedly inclined towardB the employment of Chinese laboren, or cf any other sort of laborare that will labor. The Radicals are organizing for nexl bum? mer's campaign. Govern or Scott's letter on taxes is felt to be a kind of threat to stave off an appeal to judi? cial tribunals; but yet a meeting of taxpayers ii to be held here to-day to make ap a purse to test the question before tbe conns. 1 lie Executive Committee of the Bine Ridge Railroad Company have agreed to contract with Messrs. Crisvill, Patterson & Sellers of Pennsylvania, for the finishing of their road from Walhalla (the present terminus) to Knox ville. The constructors are to furnish the first million needed; three h un dre J thousand within thirty days after the first of August, or forfeit fifty thousand. The road forfeits noth? ing. Twenty months are needed to complete the two tunnels; and four months to lay the superstructure, which wiil be done last. Toere were nine bids-one hom North Carolina, one fi ona a South Carolina man living in New York, I and seven fn m the North. Tho committee accepted the lowest bid. CORSAIR. LET DB HATE CHINESE - We have seen a let? ter fruin one of the wealthiest and most suc? cessful citizei a of Sao Francisco, dated the 18 h inst., on tbe subject ot' Chinese labor for our coti on fields, i nc writer is a mao who has control of one of the laigebt commercial enterprises on the Pacific coasr, and now em? ploys hundreds of these laborers. He says : -Experience m California has shown the Chi? nese to bo an industrious, hard worktop, obe? dient and frugal people-never get drunk, readily adapt themselves to the manners and wants of Americans, andar? as useful in do? mestic servie* as in the more laborious occu? pations of the field. The supply is inexhaust? ible." On the subject of the best and most practiCib e mode of getting them here, ho says : "Their services can only be obtained through thoir own contractors-their principal men. A special proposition made to ono <>f these men will be satisfactorily aue vered." Here, then, is an idea tor the meeting which assembles to-moirow, to act UDOH.

The Plasters Anxious for Chinamen Row can they be Obtained f TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. '] Lei care many who agree in your views concerning the introduction of Chinese labor? ers f jr the cultivation of nee, long cotton, Ac, also for mining purposes. General Gonzales in 1865 called the attention ot our people to this gooree of replenishing our laboring popu? lation, but his views met with a very cool re? ception. I see that you mention that the Hon. John Townsend intends to introduce a nomoer of them apon his Edisto property. Can yon let OB learn through your paper through what channel he intends introducing them? Others desire to folio v bis example. Our planters have in vain looked to the Board of Trade or Chamber of Commerce to come to the rosene. The matter was broached two years ago to some of the members of the Board of Trade, but the parties, npon whom the mat? ter was pressed, w re confident we would not need them; that we would have ample labor from white immigration, and the introduction of white labor into tbe healthy legions would orive the negro to labor in the onbealthy ones. It is to be boped all parties are now convinced that white immigration Bomb will be a very slow business, and that whatever it may do for the next generation, it will accomplish nothing s nba tan1 ia i lor tbe present. The question is, bow can we get the Chinese? Point oat the channel, and if neither the Board ot Trade nor Chamber of Commerce will take the matter in hand; private parties will, either individually or by association, do the work. It is tune something were done to rescue our heida hom weeds and our homesteads from ruin ond desolation Parties known to the writer, who have lived in Cbina and employed the Chinese as laborers, represent them as docile, industri?os, expert and thrilty ; far ex? celling the negro in intelligence and ingenuity. 1 am prepared to contract for forty or fifty of them, could I only learn how to get them. Can yon put me in the way ? lam Bir Ac., PL ANTIS. THINGS IB BABB WELL. A correspondent writing from Dunbarton, S. C., who has recently travelled from that point to Blackville, a, distance of twenty five miles, kindly gives us the benefits of his observations. He eaya ? The corn crop generally is tolerable good, es recial Iv that planted in March, lhere ie some late corn that still l>oks promising. The cotton crop, as a whole, is not much better than last vear, and the reason that it is as good as it is, is that more fertilizers have been used in this county this season than ever before. If it waa not for the fertilizers tbe cotton crop would be truly behind some dis? tance. From what I see, and what I myself have used, I think the various fertilizers thus far have proved more beneficial than ever before. Still, the result is not certain yet. The cotton crop, yon might say, ia just started to make. It will require good seasons and right manage? ment yet. six or eight weeks, to determine the result. I have great doubts whether the pre? sent growing crop in this oonnty will be larger than last year's crop, althoneh it looks toler? able well wherever fertilizers have been used freely-with this exception, a bad stand. The soring was very cold, and caused much of it to die. Indeed it has, to some small extent, con? tinued to die since the warm weather set in. I find some stalks ten inches high in my crop recently dead. At this time rain is wanting in the greater part of our county for corn. Cotton can stand dry weather better than corn. This is truly the nick of time with com-the time rain is wanting at least once per week-when it is shooting, and tasseling, ard silking, and the ear maturing.* Very little wheat is planted in our section over for horns consnuiption, audit has turned ont very well, most farmers having made suffi? cient to supply their own" necessities. The potato crop promises fine, though, like the cotton crop, it is too early to make a posi? tive ca eolation. As a general rule, the freedmen have worked better this year than siooe freedom. Many be? gin to see that they must work or suffer hun? ger, for tbe citizens have become more vigi? lant, and occasionally the courts have punished them when lound guilty of stealing the "hog and the corn, or the cotton." We think old South Carolina might resusci? tate again, if wholesome laws could be given to ber. but she is as yet too much under negro legislation and negro rule and Badical doctrine for a speedy reaction. Bnt one thing is cer? tain there is more ind-s try and perseverance exercised by the white population than was ever seen before. Among the whites there is no loafing, no idling; every one is engaged in some honorable busiuess, and is prompt and attentive to his calling. This change in the political status his made a complete change in the industrial department. Formerly the white man worked bul little, and tbe negro was the true laborer. Now tbe white man is the true bard worker, and if there is any idle time, that is grasped and enjoyed by Cui fee and Sambo. THBBABIS FASHIONS. Short Dresses Still In Vogue-Flowery Hats-How the Hair ts Worn-The Styles of Bodices. A Paris letter, of June 25th. says: The tum mer fashion.-*, in spite of the wintry nature of the season, are now quito decided, and it is to be supposed will insure foi the autumn, if not the winter months, a con? tinuance of the short dresses, now universal? ly adopted. Costumes, of course, are pre? valent, and the viriety of materials of a cheap description LOT procurable for these reader them most convenient for seaside or country wear. The most fashionable material for demi-toilet te is crape de chine, which admits of taffetas and Douit de soie, as underskirts and can be trimmed m a variety of ways. Cache mire is a material, too, much used for o vers hirts or confections, forming tunics with bouffauts or panniers, over plain raffjtas or striped silk petticoats. Sometimes likewise the - skirt underneath is of taffetas, and the overakirt or bouffant tunic, t f foulard, a much like i tissue for summer wear. Of tbeee foulards eireee, or se f-colored ones, are very stylish, under pet? ticoats and dress alike in plaited flounces, edued with English embroidery, which is rapidly gaining ground again. Il is likewise ver.v much the fashion, with dresses not quite reaching tbe ground, to tack on a small fl JUCO of cambric, edged with Va loncieniies cr Cluny, to the low^r part of the skirt, to simulate an under petticoat so trim? med. A very pretty toilette for a youns per? son consisted of a foulard with a deep Sou ice j pinked out. of a pure blue color, having over it n double skirt of whitu foulard with a nar? row blue fl junee, raised on one sido by a bow and ends of pinked out blue foulard, a bin . belt, and across the ritiht shoulder, and fall? ing to the leftside, a wide scarf of blue gauze de Chambery or crepe de chine, loose, y fas? tened. The hats are mere pretexts for loads of flow? ers, placed .-erv high np on tho top, instead of tbe front of the head. Hoses of all colors continue tho mode, and in some cases purple and creen grapes ira iitermiuglod with the flowers. The hair is not worn near BU high, but in two large plaits, forming, io f tct, two lon? loops at the b ck. Curls, however, are bv DO means given up. Arnon? tbe trange adventures of last week it oppears that Atty chignons were picked up on the sc 'nea of dis? quiet. None of these were ever claim jd, such was the self-sacrificing spirit of the fair dames who risked their heads-of hair on the occa? sion. t he bodices of dress3B are made rrenerally open in front, and are t . i turned with a wide l-ertbe ol lace, or worn over a cliemisette with a lace jabot, a very pretty accompaniment to this style of waist. Others are cut qaare and trimmed equally with luces. B.ack und gray greuidines over colored skins are much worn, and unless the Bummer at last relieves us, very little white or co;orod muslin will b-j seen. White pique dresses, and likewise Kankoen colorad o ea. both made with bouffiuts over skirts, had just made their appearance last week, wheu the co.d weather set ia again. Little round capes in fancy woollen, mate? rials, tarni ted Wi:h tass 'ls and fringe to match, and with hoods, are being made for seasid.- wear.

The shattering of a new ring formed at ? t Orleans for the evasion of the customs da on sugar i3 announced by the New Orleans pets. It is alleged that a prominent Congr? man, several well known ex-officials and a la and wealthy importin? boase were concern and that their operations were carried through collusion with per ions in the nu ung and weighing departments of the enste house. Suspicions were first aroujed by unusually low grades of sugars imported, ? the exceeding light weight of the boxes, cai after cargo coming to the same house, of 1 same low grades and nnder-size boxes. 1 Picayune thus reports the subsequent p ceedings : In the meantime, a thorough investigati was made. An inventory of all the sugars port was made. Special classifications and i weighings were ordered. Tue result prov the correctness of the suspicions entertain* and on Tuesday, tbe 29th, the seizure w made of about 3450 boxes, 1250 hogsheads a 75 tierces of sugar, all of which is stored the various bonded warehouses. The mod operandi by which these importations na been ma J e is this : The party in Havana ma ing the purchases would have a correct invoi made ont, which he would senl to the co siguee here; then he would have a false o made oat, which taking to the consol, 1 would swear to as correct, ?c.; and the cons would send copies of this to the consignee ai the customhouse here, so that on comparu? they would appear all tight. Tho weigher he: would see to it that the sugars were not ove weighed and the sampler would take care tb they were nol classed at too h:gh a grade, ai so the sn aru would get through, and the Un ted States Treasury would scarcely obtain i just dues, while certain individuals would I considirab y better off in Trt-aiory notes. ( course all the seized sugars will be reweighe and reclasBed, and all such as are found I have been fraudulently entered will be libelle tor evading the revenue. THE GOOD TIBE COBING IN TB SOUTH. The New York Commercial Advertiser fore; bly remarks: The condition of tbe Southern Staten at th present time is full of promise. They seem t have fairly tided over their industrial and p litical tron?les, and the future is bright wit the promise ot a high, and, we trust, enduria prosperity. Another good cotton crop, t which tho indications appear to be the mos favorable, will place them m a position whie even the Northern States may envy. Tb Southern people, fortunately for themselves hive bad no credit for several years past, am have therefore no debt? at the present time They Lave been forced to live economically aud depend entirely upon their own resources while the Northerners, as a rule, have beet extiavagaut and wasteful, lt is probable tba in the event of tho occurrence of the flaat'Cia panie which some persona regard as ?mtn. neut, tho Southern people would feel thc shoe! much less keenly, aud recjver fro*n it mud more rapidly than wrns ol' the more wealth) and appareutly more prosperous North err State?. Thc condition of the cotton market at the pres?iit tima indicated that no mater.al reduc? tion ie likely t ? occur ic the preseut price-; oJ tho great Btaple. lue supply of co'ton in boiL EugMQU and the United States is scarcely ad?? quate to the requirements ot consumers dorins me interval tuat. elapses before the new ero,, begins to come forward. The cafre q otalione of 12* I. for middling uplands at Liverpool, is a fortune for the Southern planter. That there will be no impor.a'it leductiou from this price is apparent fi om tho evident inadequacy of all tbe c mon fields in tho world to supply the de? mands for consumpti >n. The supply is fuliius off from India in spite of all the efforts ot England to stimulate production m that re? gion. The South, for a series of years to come, will be the p> eat source of cotton sup pty for the world. King co ton is recovering bis loet throne, bot he will reign henceforth a- a constitutional monarch over freemen, not a-i a despot ovar ela vee. Free labor will ulti? mately vindicate its t-uperionty even iu the cot? ton field. Nothing. theD, but the contingency of un expec ed and unlooked for disasters to tho new oropcan prevent the South taking a new star*. At present the accounts of the cotton aud com crops aie favorable, and the yield of both these products will be largely in excess of last year. With the prospect of plenty ot money, and with no debts on hand io absorb it, the South at the close of another successful harvest ?ill possess the means and capital re? quited to stimulate the groat railroad and other industrial enterprises that ore destined to imp-rt to it a new impulse on thc road to 1 rospentr.

Dupont, Missionary Bishop of Eastern Siam, and Bigaud et. Missionary Bishop of Ava. Dr. Dupont has already ar? rived in France, with the Bishop of Tonquin. Several other Missionary Bishop's have arrived from China and India, as well as the Bishops j of Aucaland, in New Zealand^ and of Welling? ton, with their theologians, to be pnsent at this religious epitome of the four quarters of ] ; the world. -The issue ot the Fnnch elections seems to have caused quite a panic at Borne respect mg tbe probable withdrawal of the Fren ch troops. A correspondent at Bom? writes that it rose to such a height that Cardinal Antonelli tele? graphed to the Nuncio in Paris for a specific aiswer as to the Emperor's intentions regard? ing the future. The answer was clear tnd concise." His Majesty contemplates no present ohange of policy in rogard to tbs Holy See.'' Notwithstanding this, then exists very little confidence in the continuance of French pro? tection. -Pope Pius IX feeing profoundly the wide? spread evil and crushing bardens imposed upon the nations ol Christendom by their gi? gantic armaments, intends, it ie announced, to lay before the approaching Ommenioal Council at Borne a proposal for the genenl adoption of international arbitration in lieu of war, and for the establishment, by a high court of nation?, of a definite code of inter? national law, instead of the vagus and uncon? nected maxims, from Vabtel and other private sources, which at present constitute the only approximation to the urgently needed influence of a regulating system of rulos and precedents to be universally recognized throughout Christendom. -The Paris correspondent of tbe Ind?pen? dance Beige disputes the assertion tbat the Pope is in tbe bjst of health. This writer af? firms that his Holiness Buffers from an insur? mountable languor, and is subject to fainting fits. On account of his plethoric temperament tbe heat of Borne becomes very difficult to bear, and the doctors again urge that their august patient should Bpeud the month of July in the country. But Pius TS. continues to refuse. "He is tbe most obstinate patient I ever met with," is tbe commant of his chief physician. V?ale Piela. The obstinate patient groom's his refusal on the necessity of keeping dowa bis expenses, and of looking after the prepara? tions for tbe General Council. -The question of tunnelling tbs channel be? tween France and England, which has been so long rogar led aa visionary and impracticable, is now pronounced, upon competent authority, to be capable of an easy solution. A special commission, appointed by the Emperor Napo? leon to examine into the matter, re oort that they consider tho plan of the English engi? neers feasible. The only difference of opinion between the French commission and the Eng? lish Bjard of Trade is whether the amount of tr.ifiie would remunerate the stockholder; but if thc pecuniary Buccess of great public works were always narrowly considered by the origi? nal builders, there would bo very few linos of in? ternal improvement. Mr. John Bright is the friend of the unlertaking in the British Par? liament, and this gives assurancs that at least an attempt will be made to begin the work. -Wilhelm's Haven, the ne v North Germa 1 military and naval harbor on the Baltic, re? cently formally opened by King William of Pru-sia, is describe! as an immense work. There have been built five separate harbors, with canals, eluicfs to regulate the tide, and dry docks for wooden and iron-ca3ad vessc e. The approach by sea is through an artificial basin, flanked by two granite moles, rcepec liveb'4000 and 9303 fee: long. Tin entrance basin, 700 feet long and 350 feet wide, leads to the first sluice. 132 feet lon? and 6G feet wide. Tue next basio or outer harbor is COO feet long by 400 fest wide, and leads to the second Bluies of the same Bizo aa the first. A ;anal then follow-i 3509 feet lone, ind varying in width from 108 to 260 feet. At about tho middle point is a harbor for dredging vessels and small craft. At the end of tht canal the grand harbor ia built. This consists of a ba? sin 1200 feet lon? and 750 feet wide, with seve? ral -maller basins. Paris, it is said, is to bs made a seaport, in pursuance of an intention long cherished by tbe French Emperor. Thc plan, as we soe it stated, is to construct a saltwater canal from Dieppe of sufficient capacity for tbe largest vessels-the water to be contributed by tbe sea, and kept at proper levels by locks and floodgates. Alarga basin will constitute the entrance to the cana), which will be about one bnndred and sixteen miles in length. Ihe natural facilities of the route which has been selected will allow shipB of the largest class to go safely under all but two bridges, Ly merely striking then* top-gallant-masts. The plans for this great work are said to be in coarse of preparation in the imperial palace, under the Emperor's immediate supervision. Immense results are anticipated from the bringing of Paris into direct communication with the sea. -A new community, to be known as the "Evangelical Protestant Deaconesses' Insti? tute and Training Hospital,? bas recently been established in England. The community was organized in consequence of the number of applications made to an orphan home by lad: es for permission to attend as nurses*the sick beds of the poor. The deaconesses wear white caps and aprons with dark colored dresses and bonnets. They attend charitable institutions, and when asked will naree ia private families apon certain conditions. They ma it be ad? dressed as sister, and most be provided with board and travelling expenses, but no charge for services is mide. Candidates for admis? sion to the tis tern ood moat be over seventeen and under thirty-five years or age, mast not be engaged to be m i rried, and most not have any intention of making each engagement. The deaconesses are of all ranks in society, re? ceive maintenance from a common fund, but retain control of their own private means. JHarrif?. On the 10th instant, bv the Rev C. 0.
