The amount of de? posits, which reach nearly $1,500,000, ls a highly respectable fact And the establish? ment of branches throughout the principal Cities of the country argues active business management But the statement that the company has given $80,000 for land upon which to erect a handsome bank building at Wash? ington does not convey a favorable impres ,-slon. The savings of the. depositors are not pn petiy de 'oted to any such purpose. There ls co real necessity for any such expenditure.' -The play world of Homburg has been higli ly excited by the extraordinary luck of a Mal? tese millionaire, who broke the bank at Baden and won enormous sums at Homburg in 1863 and 1867. On the very day of lils arrival he won 100,000 francs. This agreeable perform? ance, moreover, might bc witnessed any of the succeeding days. From lb* first hour of his arrival, thc wealthy Maltese had declared he felt he would win a large sum on the 18th, the anniversary of the day when, In 1867, he carried off 318,000 .'rancs at one swoop; and win he did at the very same hour. The sum was so large as to encumber the table in such a manner that other players could with diffi? culty find room to lay down their stakes. The keenness of his eye is unrivalled. The by? standers, who crowd around him, are aston? ished at his telling them beforehand whether the croupier wul turn up the winning or losing color; and as for mistakes by Inadvertency, he never allows one to pass unnoticed. Whether he wins or loses, he never plays for more than one hour a day. He ts very generous to the needy; but the bank must have felt exceed? ingly relieved at his departure. -A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette has evidently been honored with an Invitation to a Sunday evening tea at the home of the Cary Bisters m New York. These little gath? erings have long bees very popular with the favored friends of the two song-birds who live in a modest little house In a quiet street of Manhattan, and their parlors are made bril? liant on every Sunday night in winter by the gathering of some of the best known literary people of the city. On the evening described -try the correspondent, Lord Adair, the son of . the Earl of Dunraven, was present with his wife, and the latter is described as looking amused when Miss Phoebe Cary energetically remarked that she "wished some other than Booth might become the highpriest of the drama In America." Horace Greeley was also of the company, and he roamed about the room "radiating smiles and common sense nntQ he grew Ured and took his leave In his own characteristic manner-that is, he wan? dered vaguely away without saying good-by to anybody." The conversation at these recop? iions often turns upon spiritualism, both the sisters being spiritualists of the higher type. -The Bay of San Francisco, one of the most magnificent Bheets of water in the world, ls sixty miles long, ten miles wide, and the mouth of the bay on the same paraUel as the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. The coast tn the vicinity ls skirted by a range of lofty hills com? paratively destitute of foliage on their sur? face. The mouth of the bay, Golden Gate, of which Fort Point and North Head are the pil? lars, ls a mlle wide, thirty feet deep, and im? mediately spreads into a broad and beautiful sheet of inland water, which with San Pablo and Suisln Bays aud their connecting straits, S large enough to harbor all the navies of tte world. The bay is studded with islands Angel island, Alcatraz, Yerba, Buena, Red Rock, The Brothers, The Sisters and Mare Island. Alcatraz ls the main fortification of the city, and Mare Island is the seat of the Navy-Yard. The bay is bordered by large tracts of tule or marah, also by extensive tracts of arable lands. The Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, with their tributaries, pour a large volume of water into the bay and afford facilities for inland navigation. Scores of steamers plough these inland waters, auld hundreds of sloops and schooners-those white-winged birds of the bay-flit to and fro carrying thc comforts and luxuries of life In? land, and return with the treasures of moun? tains and valleys. _ State Taxe?. Under the Tax act passed by the Legisla? ture in September," 1868, all merchants are taxed upon the average monthly value of the property pertaining to their business hi the year ending September 1, 1868. The merchants had already paid during the year 186S, as in 1867, a tax on their sales, ac? cording to the then existing rule of taxa? tion. The tax for 1868 was especially heavy, and when the Legislature passed a law that another tax should be paid, in another j shape, for the same period, it was thought by many merchants that the last named as? sessment would, in reality, represent their taxation for 1869. They are informed, how? ever, that the taxes assessed last spring are for the year ending September 1, 1868, and are called on to make new returns for the year ending September 1, 1869, the new tax being payable in March next. This is, to all intents and purposes, a double tax. Thinking that the Legislature, at the time of the enactment of the present law, was ignorant of the fact that the merchants of the State had already paid a tax on the ope? rations of the year 1868, and with the hope of obtaining some relief for himself and his friends, one of our leading merchants made application, ki person and by letter, to the State Auditor, to know whether those who had previously paid should not be exempt from the new tax, or be credited with the amount already paid; and asking, further, whether the payment of the tax of 1869 could not be postponed until the meeting of the Legislature, if the State Auditor could no? himseU decide the question. To this application Mr. Tomlinson made the follow? ing reply: EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, 1 OFFICE OF AUDITOR OF STATE, > COLUMBIA, 8. C., October 18, 1860. ) Edwin Bates, Esq., Charleston, S. C.: DEAR SIR-I have carefully considered yours of 15th Instant, and aljo the statements made by you in your interview with me, relative to your exemption from the tax assessed against you and other merchants for the fiscal year 1868. You claim inasmuch as you paid a quarterly tax upon your sales during the year 1868, although said tax was for the fiscal year 1867, that therefore the tax now charged and to be cofiected on the average value of your stock for the year preceding September L 1868, is a double tax, and therefore Illegal, and should .not be toileted. You also ask that if I do not feel at liberty to decide the question of the legality of this law, that I will postpone its collection until the Legislature meets, and have an opportunity of acting in the premises. I need not assure you that I would take pleasure in exercising In favor of yourself and tne gentlemen you represent all thc power w?rorrea ii]?on nie ?>> 4??*, <ua aawte ??MU* UU? I am sure you would not ask. The question you raise has been before me for decision fre? quently, from other paris of the State, and I have been unable, and am still unable, to find anything in the Tax act which would Justify me in passing Judgment upon the legality of the tax In question. When the present law was passed, although it was known that the quarterly tax referred to was being collected, no exception was made in favor of those who were then paying that tax. Equity might re? quire that such an exception should be made, but the Legislature having failed to make it, it ls certainly out'of my province to do so. With regard to the postponement of the col? lection of tills tax, I would say, that in my opinion, thc law does not, and did not intend to, confer upon me th<- authority to postpone the collection of taxes In individual case*. It is manifest that such a power would be liable to great abuse, and defeat the very object of the law, which Is to secure -?n cqnul. uniform and prompt collection of the taxes. Without conceding that your view of tue question Ls correct, I am willing to admit that there ls much to be said In ?ts favor; and lu accordance with my desire to help yon all I can, and with the view of bringing the quest'on before the Leglslatve in the most favorably and practicuble way, I will Instruct the audi? tor of each county to make oat a list of the merchants in his county who have paid the quarterly tax referred to. with the amouut thereor?;i each case. This statement will be laid before the Legislature, and I have no doubt that the subject will receive the consid? eration lt deserves. If the Legislature grants relief, lt will be perfectly practicable to refund the amount overpaid, or to deduct it from the next tax to be collected. If the Legislature should not grant relief, it must be clear to you that any action of thc kind you propose would not only fall of its object, but would ex? pose me to the just censure of that body. I am, very respectfully, Your obedient servant, REUDEN TOMLINSON, State Auditor. We do not see that Mr. Tomlinson had the power to postpone the collection of the tax, or to credit it to the persons by whom it was paid. All that he can do is to bring tho question before the Legislature at its next session, and this is promised in his very temperate aud considerate letter. The matter is one which interests every mer? chant in the Stale, and will receive, we hope, prompt and thorough attention. BRUNSWICK, the maritime bete voir of Sa? vannah, is herself alarmed at the threaten? ed rivalry of the neighboring city of Par land, which now claims to be as far ahead of Brunswick, in respect to position and prospects, as Brunswick lias hitherto fancied herself ahead of the Forest City. Parland City, we are told, is already beautifully laid out, and will be built up as soon as the peo? ple come. Let Port Royal look out "For e'en large fleas have smaller fleas Which constantly do bite 'em; These little fleas have lesser fleas, And so, ad infinitum."

Thc City Hall Saloon. A Northern capitalist made up his mind to invest several hundred tliousaud dollars in real estate In Charleston. All his prepos? sessions were in our favor, and, being a stead? fast Republican, our Radical State govern? ment had no terrors for him. But he thought it best to visit the city and look about for himself. Soon after his arrival a regular meeting of the City Council was held, and our stranger, led by curiosity, was present during the session. The next moruing he packed up his trunks and went back homo. And this was at a time when the City Courjcil was confining itself to the election of irresponsible officers, the creation of fat sinecures, and the repeal of obnoxious ordi? nances. Any one who will take the trouble to read the proceedings of the last meeting of Council, will see that the stepfathers of the city have covered themselves with a new glory. One at least of their number was both drunk and disorderly, but the Board rather laughed at his buffoonery than treated bim with the severity which he deserved. And how could they be hard upon the weak head which could not endure the repeated libations of the seasoned toper? In the ante-room of Council it is now the custom to place strong drinks of various kinds with which thc Aldermen may solace themselves. When the debate is long and dry the Alder? men adjourn to their convenient bar-room and tipple at their leisure. No wonder that they were merciful toward the poor creature who, may be, drank less al-H though he showed it more ! Mr. Parker Pillsbury has written a sensa? tional letter, in which he gives an awe-in? spiring description of what lie calls the ig? norance and squalor and intemperance of the negroes. We know now that this Radi? cal love of liquor is not confined to the freedmen. Will not Mayor Pillsbury, the brother of the "original abolitionist," treat us to a characteristic chapter, not long but strong, upon the personal habits und official conduct of the scalawag Aldermen of | Charleston ? Review?. SCHOOL HISTORY OK SOOTH CAROLINA. By Jas. Wood Davidson, A. M. Columbia, 8. C. Duffle & Chapman. New York : E. J. Hale & Son. Mr. Davidson, in the preface to his School History of South Carolina, says that "his aim "has been to give In plain language an ac? count of such points" in the history of the State "as a schoolboy may understand," and that In the portion that is subsequent to all the written histories-from 1859 to I860-'-the "effort has been to present the events of this "eventful decade of years in narrative as little "as possible tinged with sectional* feelings 4ito state mere facts, free from all argument "and somment." This purpose ls well carried out, and the result is-the most convenient and compact school history of the State yet published. The material of Davidson's history, l's found In the usual authorities-Rivers, Ramsay. Drayton, Logan, and the rest-and the author has taken great care io hold evenly the scales of conflicting opinions. It formed no part of | the plan of the book to deal with the philoso? phy of history; but every Important f iFt ls given in plain words and with a conciseness of | statement now too rare. Each chapter ls accom? panied by questions in the usual form, and there are a lew iiinstrntion*. graphic but somewat rough. In tone the book is unexceptionable. The narrative of the nuUlficailon excitements, of the late war, and of the progress and com? pletion of Southern reconstruction, is wholly unexceptionable. It is free from bitterness of | expression, but at the same time there ls no hiding of the truth. The Southerner will find his political position and doctrines tersely stated, but stated in such a way that it will not offend the people of another section. As well as we can Judge, Mr. Davidson, in all Iiis state? ments, ls truthful, accurate and Just. Mr. Davidson has executed lils task with singular discretion and good taste. What is wanted in schools (and sometimes out of them, ls a skeleton history which may be nibo id into the memory until every main fact ls precisely and positively known. These main facts aro the rallying points of the student. Around' then he may gather the Information of a life time, with the certainty tiut there will be no waste, and that cacb new par; iel.' of knowl? edge will add to and strengthen thc enlarging tinily of his historical information. It is use? less to begin with extended histories of a par? ticular event or limited period. In this way there will be much general Information, per? haps, but nothing positive and sure. What is wanted ls a good foundation upon which to build. There are many men who have ca: e fully road the ponderous tomes of all our old historians who have less effective historical in? formation about this State than theycould obtain from Davidson's history in un hour. They began at the wrong end. At the beginning, Macaulay, or Hume and Smollet, or Gibbon's Decline and Fall, Is far less uselul than the short chapters in a catechetical history, (Pinnock's for in? stance,) covering the same ground; but when the chief facts are Axed in the mind the stu? dent can read up any or every period with certain protlt and advantage. The little book ls neatly printed, and ls sold at ninety cents. Sot gale. BEAL ESTATE OR PERSONAL PRO !
