EUROPE. imOT OV NAPOLEON'S BE CO VEE Y-SENTOTE Or RANOS TOWARD SPAIN-FENIAN DEIK STB A TI ON ES LONDON- IRELAND'S TERMS F IRELAND, MX LONDON, September 21.-Paris corres pc dence of tie Times saja that the Empero recovery bas osused a lall in the fiery debe which had began between the party o? tbe El peror and the friends of Prince Napoleon. T rivalry already displayed by each faction giv a foretaste of what ia in store for France wb the death of the Emperor lets his fam loose, and gives np the State to their nnseei ly discords. The Morning Post says it now appears th -America has only made friendly represent tiona to the Madrid Government in favor reasonable demands of the Cabans. It is pr . bable Napoleon suggested to the Regency tb Spain should act considerately towards Cul and disarm American influence. The Frcni Government favors a reconciliatory policy Madrid, and non-intervention at Wasbingto The Standard says Prim's attempt to i: duce England to join in a Protectorate f Cuba has totally faiied. The Paris correspondent of the Tim says: "The diplomatic experience of ll Sickles is limited and probably insufficient enable him to rightly estimate the value ai effect of his words. Doubtless he a mut surprised at the excitement they have create' and it will be difficult for his gov? rnmeut < approve them." A Fenian mass meeting, six thousan strong, was held in Trafalgar Square, Londoi _ yesterday, which was addressed by Georg Henry Moore, M. P., and others, iu favor c the release of the Fenian prisoners. LONDON, cfeptember 22.-The Times says th< Spanish have found their advantage in a bol display of patriotic and national courage. The met imagined affront with immediate defiance "though, their threatened adversary is ten time more, powerful than themselves. Sickles i manifestly alarmed al the result of his proceed iog> and bas requested farther instructions Pendinga reply from Washington he desiree to withdraw bis note. If this is actually thi position of the case, Spain owes it to her owi fearlessness which may savor of unreason, bat does not partake of the nature of bravado, She declares that if driven to extremity, ehe will .fight. No doubt she will. For her to gain advantages by so doincr is out of thc question, bat as matters stand, she would lose leas than her adversary. America may fairly decline an easy victory on such onerous .sfedd partial terms. The people and govern ment of Spain have resolved not to part with Cuba without a straggle. A contest could only retrait- in the loss of Coba, coupled with other, bat slighter los-ej. 8iokles expected no Bach resistance as his note has provoked. Possibly, in the face of such opposition, his proceedings may be qualified or repudiated by his government. It is believed that be exceeded his authority, and that America is not responsible for bis act. DUBLIN, September 20.-The Irishman, to? day s ays no terms for Ireland will be accepted without the release of the, Fenians. It is the verdict of the Irish-people ilmw" Engrana nnur set these men free, or avow that her promise of better government tor Ireland is a lie.

Thoa fax the Sing of Portugal is the favorite. SEWS FROM WASHING TON. WASHINGTON September 22.-President Grant and family returned this morning. The Committee on Elections go to Sooth Carolina, November 3d, to take evidence in election ?asea. To relieve the small note tamise, the comp ?, troll er will receive i arge rates ot their own issne from national banks, and give them in exchange smaller notes, with as little delay as possible. Forty iron- clads are now ready for sea. p- The President was at the State Department nearly all the afternoon. The Government ot the United States having learned, through parties who had visited Spain, that its mediation between Spain and Cuba would be accepted by Spain, instructed Min? ister Sickles to tender its friendly offices. Spain has formally replied, thanking the United \ States, bnt declining to enter into arrange? ments with the insurgents on the basis pro? posed. There is no reason to believe that Spain invited other European powers to inter? fere in her concerns regarding Coba. Spain having declined oar mediation, there is noth? ing else proposed by oar government. There are no war apprehensions here. SPARKS PROM THE WIRES. The prospects of the India cotton crop are good. Three boys were bumed yesterday in some frame houses in Cincinnati. One hundred thousand pounds of sold have been drawn from the Baak of England for New York. The Standard Oil Works, kt Oil City, Pa,, are now barning, and all efforts to check the flamee are frai tl ess. The Democrats in Maine gain one sena? tor and four members of the House, with five districts unheard from. It is stated that Congressman Cary, of Ohio, is organizing workingmen'* leagues in opposition to the Fifteenth amendment. 4} Thc New York Herald says the managers of tho Methodist Book Concern deny the embez? zlement canard and threatened an action f r libel. The directors of tbe Aimaza bank of Havana offers the government their profits while the rebellion lasts. They have already paid 130,000. The United States steamer Mohican bsa re? turned with the Siberian Lcl'pse Expedition, which failed in its object through dense clouds obscuring the phenomenon.

[FROM otra OWN OORBXSPOKBXKT.] WALHALLA, Monday, Sept. 20.-The Wall Hotel seems to be the general headquarter tbe engineer corps of the Bine Ridge Railr and during the three days O?" my stay he have beard little else than coesip abont gn and tunnels, and approaches and strata, gether with speculations as to the prob time of beginning work, a?d the improb time of endi: g it. And yet, very little been done. Indeed, it may be said that for the kind assistance of Mr. Waterma brother-in-law of Governor Scott, the cont of Chswcli (sic), Sellers ot Patterson would!: been forfeited, leaving the Executive Corni tee at liberty to make anotber contract wh in there should be lees room for executive | quisites. ThiB ia the way of it. Under contract with the Bine Ridge Railroad C pany, eriswell <v Co. were to commence opi tiona on a certain day or forfeit thoir barg; The day approached, and eriswell & Co. m no sign. The fate of Scott A Co. was trembl in the balauce, when ibis Mr. Waterman ca to thc rescue, und with one man set to w upon the road with shovel and pick, and saved thc contract from forfeiture. Look the fact H ! Here is a contract made to cc plete the road at $1,000,000 or $1,500,000 m than tbe inst and legitimate price. Goveri Scott, throughout, gives the successful c< tractors advantages which tbeirfrivals did i enjoy. And wben the contractors are abont forfeit their contract by not beginning work the stipulated time, brother-in-law Waterm (the same man who says that "Robert b South Carolina in a sling !") steps in, ehov dirt in a masterly way, and eaves the contri tore from the consequences of their tardine! Governor Scott waa tbe savior of Criaw k Co. Is there any man in this Stn Tool enough to believe that this w lone for love of "the great public work'' or i ?ove of tho lucky contractors ? Is there ai nan now in South Carolina, outside of tl Ring, who will deny that Lux was rig n saying that, Scott bas a direct pee liary interest in the Blue Ridge contracl Brother-in-law Wateiman shovels no mor >ut louages in the hotel piazza, doubtlei iwaiting ai.other opportunity of doing Robe i good turn. So much for Scott, Waterman :o. DOWN WITH THE DUST. In one respect eriswell A Co. are ready t iarry out their contract. They notified Pres lent Harrison last week that they were pn jared to pay over the $300,000 required to x< leem the old first mortgage bonds and tb loaring debt of the road. Mr.. Harrison wei S?rth at once to complete the transaction, ac i presume that the Blue Ridge Railroad Corr ?any is, by this time, without a dollar of debi bri am assured by gentlemen who arri vi i?tf vfstfHftv. that the. mon AV WM -?????U Q bank awaiting tbe coming of Mr. Hurneon THE BURING ABOUT TO BEGIN. This is one bard fact, and another is tua here aro two locating parties of engineers ii ho.ficld, and Major Steers, the sub-contracto br th? Stump Hou.se, War Woman and Dick' 3reek tunnels, is really here in Walhalla. Mi freers, who is an experienced contract ot am i driving mau, hopes to be able to begin bot ng on the tunnels in about a month. Tu eogtb of tunnelling to be done ie about a ollows: Stump House 1500 feet; Dick's Creel 1100 feet; and War Woman 1100. The whol ength of the Stump House tnnuel is 5800 feel >f which 4300 feet are completed; the wboh ength of Dick's Creek tunnel is 2700 feet, o vhicu only ?00 feet are coin Dieted. By band labor from thirty to forty feet i non th can be tunnelled, but by sinking shatti md working simultaneously on each face l?verai parties can work at tbe same time. Mr Steers will ase, I am told, the Burleigh drill .viiicb is an improvement upon the drill usec n the Mount Cenis tunnel. This drill wi!) bore rat i he chambers to hold a blasting charge it Ifteen minutes; by band labor it would take many hours to do tbe same work, so that thc tunnelling may be flDlsWed earlier tban is ex peeled. None of the engineers, however, bc lieve that tho wbole work caD be done in lest than THREE YEARS; Scott A Co. to the contrari notwithstanding. THE ORIGINAL LINE. I learn that the unwise conduct of the origi? nal projectois of tbe road in limiting their en? gineers toa grade of sixty feet to the mile has been, and is, a great disadvantage to the com? pany. In moro than one instance the line is far longer than was necessary, and a creat deal of useless work has be-n done; all in order that the gradea might ba kept below tbe arbi? trary standard of the pereooB who bad control of the work. The new purveys which bave been made lately enow that a far better linc than the original line could have been selected, but, as so much work is done, it is thougbt better and cheaper to go on and finish** the line as it DOW runs. One change in the route will be made, saving the campar .y about $60,000. THE ROAD A' IT BUNS. Tho thirty-three miles of the Blue Ridge Railroad, from Anderson to Walhalla, now in operation, are in fair order. New ties are wanted along tbe greeter part of tbe line, and Borne ditching is neceeBary; but the road was well built and is worked with judgment, econo? my and a proper regard to the convenience of the public. There is a daily tram each way, and or? Fridays two tiains each way. Yester? day a special train was run from Walhalla to Anderson, where the Methodist Didtrict Con? ference is in session. Tbis train took over a large numtor of pastaencere from this village and from Pendleton. Tho Superintendent of the Blue Ridge Railroad, W. H. D. Gaillard, Esq., is an able and a faithful guardian ot thc interests of biB company, and neglects no op? portunity of Bervingand acocmodating the peo? ple along the line of road. THE VILLAGE. Walhalla itself is already about tbreo miles long, with a population of 700; but the gaps in the streets are filling up rapidly, and I think that there are more new stores building in tbe Tillage than you will find in some places of ten times the size. The removal of the court? house to this place has given it new life, and property is steadily appreciating m value. The lld courthouse building has been brought aver from Pickena, and will do service hence? forth as the jail. The new courthouse now building will be a large and eubstantia 1 struc? ture. It ia expected to be finiahe'd by Novem? ber. * THE CROPS. In this county, Oconoe, it is hop<d that a tialf crop of corn will be made. Thia is thc best tbart the most sanguine expect. OF course, there will be enough for the wants of the county ir none be shipped to other places. There is not a bushel to spare. The peach and fruit crops generally were a failure, and the dronght makes vegetables, milk and butter quite scarce. This is no land of milk and honey in these times, yet, on Saturday, some gentlemen came over from Pendleton to hunt for butter and eggs. In THINGS POLITICAL. Little is said or done, but Oconee may al wavs be counted on for a thumping anti-Radi? cal majority. StraDge to tay, there is a de? cided opposition here to granting aoy more money to the Blue Rid ce Railroad while Scott and Pillsbury, representing the State and city stock in the road, control tbe bug" concern. It is argued that the $4,000,000 wbi:h the Stato agreed to guarantee, will carry on the work for eighteen months or two years. By that time we shall have a decent and upright Governor, and may grant a further guarantee, if necessary, without running the danger of having to-pay au official commission of ten or twenty per cent. There is no opposition to the ro id, but there is an indisposition to allow Scott to handle or control any more of the public funds. Walhalla has, in my opinion, hit the nail on th? bead. The road has already a guarantee of $4,000,000. When that is spent, and well spent, it will be time enough to talk abont a guarantee of $5,000,000 moie. OUT OF DOOB8. The scenery here is very beautiful, and there atc not many finer views in the State than is had from thc mount of the famous Stump House Tunnel. The air is fresh, but in the middle of the day the heat is as great as in dear old Charleston. Senator Bicmann, an active and a public spirited man, is the life of the village, and is never found wanting when the purse strings are to be loosened for the good ot tho conn1 ry. D.

On Monday last he bade adieu to Quebec amidst salutes of artillery; reached Montreal in thc af? ternoon, and was ieceived by General Wynd? ham, and subsequently took a trip to London, Ontario, to return soon aud take up his quarters at Rosemount, near Montreal. -Colonel Adam L. Biugaman, formerly a distinguished turfman and politician, of Mis? sissippi, died in New Orleans a few days ago at tho agc of 76 years. Colonel Bingaman was the com peer of Richard JohDaon, the "Napoleon of the Turf" in his way, and of S. S.

He was the first child born in the Territory of Mississippi of American parentage. -Madame Lsdru-Rollin owns a considerable amount ot real estate m the Ruo do Charojnc in Paris, which, in 1848, when her husband was expelled irom France, would not have fetched more than $200,000. At one time the ex-memb :r of the Republican Government was so hard up that ho came very near sacrificing his wife's property. But, lortunately, he held on to it, and the bouses are worth, at the present day, upwards of a million ot dollars. This is chiefly owing to the Haussmannization of the metro? polis, so that the Prefect of Louis Napoleon has enriched the tribune of the people and en? abled him to dispense graceful hospitalities at his vii a in St. John's Wood, Londcn, aud to sup? ply Ins brother exiles with tho means of biding their time till the restoration of the republic. -Mrs. General Rawlins was captured in Vicksburg by ?he late Socretary of War, and subsequently became the wife of her captor.

General Raw? lins then saw ber for the firs. time. Ihe boase occupied by ber was taken possession of by General Rawlins, the lady sull remain? ing in it. Intercourse and friendly relations were established, aod soon tbe general found that instead of captuting the enemy, the ene? my had really captured him. The fair lady went North, and not long after the general followed-all ending in tbs general proffering his heart and hand and the lady accepting the earn?. JAMES' TWIN Corro?.-An Alabama paper thus describes this new species of cotton : '.This variety of cotton, which is to give fame and fortune to its discoverer, if it shall stand the test of successful experiment, has bolls considerably laiger than ordinary cotton, and a staple longer than the Peeler. "One striking peculiarity ot this variety coneiets in the fact that the stalks have no limbs. The cotton breaks cut in clusters from tho stalk, and sometimes there are from seven to ten bolls in one cluster. Mr. James is confident that he can gather four bales from one acre ot this cot toD. He bas no seed to spare, as ho bad but thirteen rows planted; but from these he in? unda to select the best seed, and next vear, if his cotton proves to he ae good as he "thinks it will., he will introduce the seed."' THE CHIS AMAN IN TRADE. Business Dealing; ? Among thc Celestials -Yankee Sharpness Outdone. A SbaDphao letter says: The Chinese merchant is tbe complete epi? tome of all tbat is close, sbarp, and crafty in trade. In deceptions, in all manner of lying, and in tricks t f every sort to get much money for articles of little value, he is a perfect master. He has no conscience and no sort of shame about him. He will one clay bring you some cniro, which he assures jon is of the very oldest and rarest sort to be found in the market. Perhaps it is a vase-and for it he asks in consideration of its age, beauty, and rarity, the modest sum of $50. You offer him $3. He throws np his hands io disgust, says "the reverend and honorable gentleman is cer? tainly in jest," intimates that be feels deeply offended that you could consider bim guilty of such a piece of meanness as to try to sell you for $50 an article worth only $3; and with an air of sadness which almost briners tears to your eyes, and canses you to be ashamed of yourself, he tans himself a little, says, "Well I go off," ties up his precious treasure, goes to the door, turns about, and says he don't want to make any nnney to-day, and so you may have it tor $49. If it be your first bargain with the nati .o you will probably take it, but if you have, had a little experience you will say, "No, I will give $3." He darts off in disgust, says he will cer? tainly never come back, abuts the door alter him, but opens it again to say tbat you can have thc article for $45. You say "NJ"-and now he begins to come down rapidly, until, at last, after many words and several pretended departures, be sells yon the article for, proba? bly, $5. The next day the same honest trades? man cornea again with "one more of the same sort," and says to yon that the one be sold you yesterday wae but second rate, and so he sold it to you for a small sum, but thia one is really the very best to be had, and so for thia he must h?ve $55, and he won't really take any less, and if you don't want to give so much say so at once and let that be the end of it. Atter erecisely the same kind of haggling as tbe day efore, you get this oui in for about $3. Then a friend comes in who knows about the value of I such things in Cbina, and bo tells you tbat the two articles bought are neither old nor rare, nor comparatively beaut fal, and that they probably coBt your worthy merchant, who stands with a face of innocent satisfaction, about twenty-five cents a piece. You are indig? nant, and boldly charge said merchant with fraud and lying. He, with a hearty laugh, ac? knowledges it, and seems to think it the beat joke in the world. I myself bought a piece of amber, curiously carved in the form of one of tbe idols, which, on examination, proved to be quite, a good specimen-of North Caroliua rosin. /antral Mires. 43?

To the Peoph of South Carolina: The above Company was organ zed in 18G6, in consequence of the wholesale forfeiture of Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of the enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Southern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance of honesty. We keep all our money at home to buildup our Impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the State from which lt is de? rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence shou'd appeal with great force to the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. 'Tis not our purpose to make war on other com? panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely Southern Company-founded on patrioUim and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-is second to none on this continent, being nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of this Company, it has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has also secured their hearty co-operation. We have secured 600 policies in South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number smong onr Directors General Wade Hamp? ton and Colonel Wm. Johnston, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap? peal personally to the people of couth Carolina to assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.

It is much easier to keep the ey-tem in good condi? tion than to restore it to that condition when chat? tered by d-.sease. The "Bouse of Life," like other houses, should bo prompt, y propped up and sus? tained whenever it shows any sign of giving way. The first t-ymptoms ol physicil debility should be taken as a hint that a stimulant is required, T.he next question i?, "what shall the stimu'ant be?" A wholesome vegetable tonic, thc stimulating properties of which arc modified by the Juices and extracts of anti-febrile and laxative roats and herbs something whi:b will regulate, soothe and purify, as well as invigorate-ls the medicine required by thc debilitated. There are many preparations which are chimed to be of this de-cription, but BOSTET TER'.* STOMACH BITTERS, the great vegetable preventive and restorative, that has won its way to the confidence of the public and the medical profes? sion, by a quarter of a century of uuvarying success, stands pre-eminent ame nj them all. To expatiate on its popularity would be to repeat a twice-toll tale. It is only necessary to L-onsult the record* of the United States Reveau? Department to learn that its consumption ts greater than that of any other proprietary remedy of either native or foreign origin. As a means of sustaining the health aad etrenglh under a fiery temperature, the BITTERS have a paramount claim to consideration. It has the effect of f. nil ring and bracing thc nervous and muscular systems against the ordinary consequences of sud? den and violent changes cf temperature, and is, therefore, peculiarly useful at this season, when hot sunshine by day, and ice-cold d-:ws by night, alter? nately heat and chill the blood of those who are ex posed to them. HOSTEITfcR'S STOMACH BITTERS are cold in bottles only. To avoid being deceived by counter? feits, see that the name of the article is o a the label, and embossed on thc iilaes of the bottles, and our revenue stamp over the cork. Sept 18 cac C J T.
