They are light and elegant, eaoh drawn by one horse, the body being low, with driver's seat raised in front, and o wrying four passengers on seats running lengthwise. -It is stated, with apparent authority, that the Conservatives of Virginia have concluded to elect the Hon. Gilbert C. Walker,.Gover? nor elect of that State, for the long term in the UuitedStates Sonate. Lieatenant-Gover nor Lewis, a moderate Onion man, a.id a Vir? ginian, wou.d suaceed Walker ia the event of tbe latter's election as senator. -How our Democratic (?) President regards the people ie shown from the fact that "the beautiful and spacious grounds around the Exeoutive Mansion, which heretofore have .. been Open to the publio, are to be considered private hereafter, and no ono outside of the President's household will b3 allowed to tres? pass. The mall south of the executive grounds is also closed to the public, and is Uoed as a pasture for the President's horses." This is upon good Radical authority, the New York Tribune. -It is understood that iwelve eminent New York capitalists have undertaken to complete the work began by the State or Virginia be? fore tbe war, of budding a railroad from Rich? mond and Washington to the Ohio River. - A party of engineers and railroad men have just passed over the**fronte, and say that it is a favorable one, the distance between common points at the West and the seaboard being less, and the grades twenty-five per cent, less than any or the other trank lines. Two mil? lions of money has already been raised for the project. ' . ? v . -The Town of Helena, in Montana, was nearly destroyed by fire two months ago. To? day there is scarcely a trace of the Are in tbe principal business streets. One hundred and twenty-four new buildings, worth not less than $300 000 many of them substantial brick and stone buildings, havo risen au if by magic from the ashes ol tbe town. This may bo called qwiok dispaioh, indeed, especially whoo it is stated that nearly all the stone used in build? ing bad to be quarried, the bricks barned and the lamber sawed io the time named, as well as the houses built. -The government authorities are said to be determined not to permit the working of the French cable until some provision for reci? procity is oonoaded by the French government. Secretary Pish said a few days ago that the American end of the cable must either be buoyed until the assembling of Congress, or landed upon Miquelon Island, unless the com? pany would agree to favor reciprocity and abide by auch legislation as Congress may see proper to enact. A St. Pierre diapatoh states that the cable was out and buoyed Tuesday afternoon at about twenty milos from shore*-and at a point about five miles from the buov of the shore end. -Pan Francisco dispatches announce the ar rioal of another cargo of Cbiaeae emigrants. Meanwhile it is stated that arrangements are on foot for bringing some of the strangers to New York on intelligence offlco account. Iii question is asked : "Why should families be compelled to pay from $12 to $14 per month for help, and be dictated to by tbat 'help,'when they can get a Chinaw man to do the work quito as welt, and mn sh m ?re civilly for one third tho ooBt? Anyhow, the problem is soon to onler coon a pracMoal solution, with the ebano a that the. speculation will prove a re? munerative one for those who have advanoed the requisse capital. The first installment of these Asiatic biddie? may be looked for, via Pacido ftMlroad, by tbe 16th of September." -Several ootton failures are announced jo the latest English journals. In Preston, Messrp. George Smith & Son, Moor Brook Milla, have been compelled to suspend payment, and Mesara. Stead, Taylor & Stead, of Liverpool, were preparing the necessary balance sheet and statements. Messrs. Smith A Son ran thirteen thousand spindles and about four hun? dred and Aft ? looms, and employed, upwards of two hundred work-people. The failure s bave also been annonuoed of Messrs. BAW. Jack? son, ootton spionera and manufacturers of Ii'>uoa?ter and Preston, who ran thirty-five tho anani spindles and nine hundred looms, and employed three hundred operatives, and of Mr. Bourne, of Brindle, near Preston, who ran thirty-four thousand spindles and five hun. dred looms, and employed about the same number of hands.

A model establishment of tho kind on Eighteenth-street will be completed by Jan? uary next at a cost of about $160,000. Itsdieight will be fire stories, including attio and base? ment. The entrance hall will be handsomely piinelled with tesselaied marble, and the whole exterior rich and elegant. The suites of rooms of each flo ir, except those in the upper story, will vary only as to height, and will contaio a parlor and chamber facing the street, and back of them two more chambers, together with a servants' bed room and a dining room. Added to the conveniences of water closets bath room, storage closet, Ac, there will be an ele? vator for hoisting coal and stores from below. Abundant light and ventilation will be se? cured. The rents will piobably range from $100 to $15 a month. There are already more applicants than oan be accommodated. -A Washington telegram to the New York Herald says : "There is lome talk of cnforoing thc oo'ico: iou of i ho direct land tax in the South. The Southern States' share or this tax-which amounted to twonty millions among all the States-was six millions; of this sum only about three millions bas been paid into the Treasury from the Southern States. It will be remembered that when this amount bad been collected President Johnson sent a message to Congress setting forth that in view ot the poverty produced in the South by the war it would in many instances be ruinous to that section to enforce the collection of the tax at ? bal time, and recommending that it bo sus? pended for some time, so as to allow the in . dust rial interests or the South to recuperate, lt is stated that the limit of the suspension fixed by Congress bas now passed, and the law providing for the levying and collection of the tax comes into full force again. It is argued by those who urge this proceeding that the in? dustrious of the South have greatly improved in the loterim, that the crops are abundant, and that there is no longer auy excuse for de? lay on the score of poverty. Whether the Sec? retary of the Treasury will act upon the advice tendered him in this matter remains to be seen." ? Jj CHARLESTON. MONDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1869. diving away JLamd. lu a leading article in the Philadelphia North Ameritan we find the following para? graphs : "THE CHARLESTON DAILY NEWS urges the planters and land owners of Benth Carolina to give every immigrant family a farm, in ?.rder to render the rest of their lands valuable by thus attracting foreign immigration. But let ns ask THE NEWS why it restricts its polioy to foreign immigration, when the native whites of South Carolina are so largely in need of the very land it is now proposed to give away to Europeans? From the poor whites of the planting Htates have come statesmen wbo have filled the highest positions in the Repub? lic ; and surely a class capable of producing snob men must possess innata worth superior to that of the new inmigrants from Europe. These Southern poor whites constituted the rank and file of the rebel armies in the late war, and better soldiers ne id not be asked than they were. "As to giving away land, it is not often pro? ductive of the good expected. The better plan is to sell it on easy terms. Men value what, they pay for more than what is merely given them freely without. cost. In the case of the poor whites of the South, most of them are degradad- only because they have no ohance to better their condition. It planters were to contract with the poor whites near them to give eaoh a piece of land, however small, to 1 e paid for in plantaticn labor, the result would astonish some ot them. They would awaken and stimulate the energies ot the poor * sand-hillers,* whom they have so lang taken pains to pauperize. "Bat the sparseness of population in the South has been encouraged by the planters .themselves, and is their o^n peculiar work. For a long time prior to the war they did not want small farmers anywhere near them, and the annoyances to which that class were sub? jected were BO great that few could stand them. If the plantera have now discovered thatr error, and concluded to put a stop to these annoyances, the best thing they oan do is to ofter to sell small tracts of land to any one who wishes to buy, black or white, giving a strict business turn to the matter by selling to those who oan pay most, sinoa, of course, that will be best both for the bayer and seller, ir the planters generally take to giving away lands, what would be the use lor any small farmer to buy, since be never could sell again so long as this giving away process lasted. " We reply that the "native whites" of South Carolina who desire to become land owners have no difficulty in their way. The prioe of land is low, and rents are at a moderate figure ; and there is no reason why a capable and industrious whits man may not rent a small farm one year, and buy it, part- cash and part credit, the following year. It is not desired to prevent any man. white or oolored, from becoming a land owner. On the contrary, every proper and reasonable assistance in that direction is always given to him. The North. American is not correotly Informed in regard to the reason of the sparseness of population in the South. This was not caused by th? action of the planters, but was a saturai result of .slavery-with whioh free whit? labor OJUld not successfully compete. The small farmers have not been discouraged in South Carolina, but it is well known thai the small farm system is not believed to be adapted to the low oountry, where a large expenditure of money is necessary for pro duet og rice and Baa island cotton. The sparseness of the white population in this State, and the limited number of small farmers on the seacoast, were the effeots of the causes whioh we have indicated, and were not brought about by any liking or dis liking on the part of the slaveholder?. Nor is there ia this State what the North Ame rican oalls th? class of " poer whites " There ar? what are known as the " sand .? billers," a poor and degraded class of whites, but they are found only here and there, and are so few in number that, with or without land, they would have but little influence upon th? prosperity of the Stat? We repeat, tbea, that every tub in South Carolin? stands OB it? own bottom, and that no man is too poor to become an owner of land, because, at the ruling prioe?, om? year of labor would pay th? first instal? ment of the purchase money of a farm. The reason of advising that land ba given to th? foreign immigrant and ?old to th? actual resident, is very piain. Ev? ry State of the West is bidding high for isa migrant?. Tn? different ?gent? offer favor able tarma for the sale of landa, and use I every persuasive aol to o on vino? the for Ieigner that for him the Weat is certain for? tune and the South ii certain ruin. If we offer to the immigrant only aa mueh aa the Weat offen-that ia, long eredit and low prices for land-we cannot turn the tide of | immigration to eur sheree. We muet do more than the Weat can do, and thia by giving away land within eaay reach ef a market while the Weat sells land a hundred miles perhaps from a railroad or navigable stream. Population la our supreme neces? sity, and we propose to obtain it in the only way that it can be obtained-by giving away a part of eur surplus land. We are glad to see that the North Ame? rican agrees with us that it ia wise to sell lands at a low price to the people whom we have already with us. This is our policy and the polioy of our people. Our contem? porary will not deny, however, that if every white mau and every colored mau in South Carolina had a small farm of his own, we should still have far less than the popula? tion we oan accommodate and do require. This forces us to offer the premium of free farms to the European immigrant, and we sincerely hope that this view will sooner or later be adopted by our people. No man likes to give away land. That is cer? tain. Every man has not foresight enough to sacrifice a present value for the sake of a future profit. But time works wonders; and we trust that before long we shall have in this State a regalar association for intro? ducing white immigrants, who, upon pro? per conditions, will be given sufficient land to support themselves and their families. All that we want ie to give them a start. When they need more land for themselves or for their children, they oan well afford to buy it. Thc Crepe. The long continued drought in the mid? dle and upper sections of the State is caus? ing deep anxiety to the farmers, and all oar advioee agree in reporting that the corn orop will be largely reduoed in both quantity and quality. We are informed that along the line of railroad between Ringville and Wilmington, N. C., a distance of one hundred and seventy miles, there ia not an acre of eora whloh is not seriously injured But the weather whioh ia unfa? vorable to oom will improve the quality of upland ootton, and will give us an early orop, if not ao large in quantity as was at one time expeoted. In the low oountry the rioe is suffering for want of rain. The small streams are so salty that the fields cannot be flooded, but long continued showers will enable the planters to make an average crop. From the sea islands the cotton reports are highly favorable, and there is every reason to expect a better I crop of long ootton . than we have had for many years. The caterpillar now oan do no harm. Our great foe is powerless. Farmers and planters often look at the blue side, but, making all proper allow? ances for low spirits and popular exagge? ration, it may be said that the drought has already done muoh harm, and will, if it lasts muoh longer, largely curtail the fair Proportion? of the corn and upland ootton erops of the State. Direct Trade. We are pleased to inform our corres? pondent, Cato, that we have good authority for saying that there will be a line of steam? ships this fall between Charleston and Liverpool. A more lively interest should I be taken in the line. Oar people want di? rect trade. But HOW MUCH do they want it? (EiitottittL X^y A S H I M O T ON COLLBOEi LEXINGTON, VIRGINIA.
