He'asserts that vessels can move through the canal ata speed of five or six knots an hour f, without injuring its banks, and that the entire way from Said to Suez will be assuredly open for all ships on the 17th of November. -The press laws in Russia, it is announced.

By ?.'decree issued four years ago,, the principal journals of Moscow and St Petersburg were ,lellev?d from the control of tne censorship, bat were still subjected to the "notification," Which, In case of a repetition of the offence, Was followed by fine, suspension and confisca? tion. . This restricted liberty, the Russian Jour? nals anticipate, will be withdrawn in cons?? quence pt tho fears entertained by thc reac? tionists in the public offices, that the State is exposed to serious dangers from even the pre? ssent limited relaxation of the censorship. -Tie Onondaga petrified giant turns out to be only a rudely sculptured statue, the work Cf a Canadian stonecutter possessed with the ?tania that he was a second Michael Angelo. and attempting jp embody his ideal of St faul in sandstone.

The confidant conceived the idea of making Weer the statue to pe pe trate a hoax on bis neighbors, which he did, it seems, with com? pleto-success. He burled it in an old ditch, and then discovered lt af* the proper time and In the proper manner to create the Impression that lt was a great cariosity. - -It is now aa ascertained fact that General SutterfleW has resigned his position as Assis tant Treasurer of the United States at New York, in order, as is stated, to simplify the question of an investigation into the charges made by certain parties of his complicity in the late gold pool. The New York Herald says: "General Butterfield had requested a military court of taqniry, but the Secretary of the Treasury having assigned Instead the treasury solicitor to make the investigation, we pre j sume that General Butterfield resolved to cut the matter short by a resignation. Thus re? lieved of his civil office, his request, as an officer of the army, for a military court can hardly be denied him, inasmuch as his reputa, tion in the army is at stake." A Washington dispatch says : ' "It appears that the resigna? tion of General Butterfield, Assistant Treasurer, was the resi?t of Information conveyed to him officially, though in the form or a confiden? tial communication, that both the President and Secretary Boutwell desired that General But? terfield withdraw, and accompanied with the verbal intimation that ii the resignation was not immediately forthcoming, a removal and appointment would take place instanter." The New York Post, in a strong article on the as? sistant treasurer, alludes to the charges against him of speculation in stocks, and says: "Grant? ing that General Butterfield had nothing to do witfi the gold ring, yet we have not anywhere seen the charge denied that h? speculated in stocks while he was sub-treasurer." The Post ls opposed toa court-martial, and says: "The expedient of a trial by court-martial looks sus? picious to the public, and is irregular, and smacks too much of military despotism to bc relished by a freo people. The civil officers of a free State ought not tobe able thus to pro? tect themselves behind a court of military offi? cers; lt is a bad precedent which General But? terfield seeks to set; one which may lead in time to the gravest and most dangerous abus? es." It is intimated that the whole matter of the gold conspiracy will be investigated by Congress when lt next meets. Persecution for Opinion's Sake. The assertion is broadly made that Mr. Stoddard was discharged from work aboard of the bark Wyman because be was a Radical : and the longshoremen are told, with the vio? lence which characterizes the typical dema? gogue, that, in remaining on strike until Mr. Stoddard is reinstated, they are fight? ing against proscription, and vindicating the right of every man to have an opinion and a soul of his own. With the reasons which caused the dismissal of Mr. Stoddard we have at present nqthing to do. We ad? vocate now, and have always advocated, the fullee t freedom of thought, speech and act. And'we carry out that principle to the end. We apply it to rich as to poor, to em? ployer as to workingman; to Dives in the banquet-hall as to Lazarus at our gates. We ?o not proclaim that the Radical shall do as he may please, and tbat the democrat sholl only do as the Radical pleases. As long as they do not disturb the public peace or encroach upon the rights of others, we demand, for all conditions of men, full and free liberty of word and deed. . And it is be? cause we apply this principle to all classes and parties, and not to one class or party, that we. assert the right of the shipping agents in this city to emplpy whom they will-white man or negro, Democrat or Re? publican. This is why we condemn the con? duct of the longshoremen who are endeavor-' lng to compel the employment of one par? ticular man or set of men. In no place where Radicalism is, supreme can there be true liberty. The Radical party carry out, to the fullest extent, the doctrine: To the victors, tba spoils. They care nothing for the character of the govern? ment or the ability of candidates. All that they insist on is that "working Republicans" only shall hold every public office. We need not point to the policy of the President and Cabinet to prove this statement There is >metbing nearer borne than the proscrib? ing of Democrats in the North and West and ?(East We can afford to let pass the recent order for the removal from office in Texas of all the opponents of bitter-end Radicalism. Take this State as an example. On every side there are honest, capable and experi? enced men who have been bundled neck and crop out of office, and their places filled by boobies or knaves. And why? Because the office-holders were not Radicals. This has been the policy in every county and city and hamlet in South Carolina. Only a few weeks, ago the Radical Union League de? manded of Mayor Pillsbury the removal of all the Conservative policemen in the city police force. - The Mayor bowed down and obeyed. Twenty or more steady and trust? worthy policemen were discharged, for no other reason than that they were not Radi? cals. This, indeed, is proscription. This is South Carolina Radicalism. More than this, we are told that Mr. Stoddard himself dis? charged, last fall, one man, if not more, be? cause he would not vote the Radical ticket. And now these people strut and bluster and call themselves the champions of free opinion. Whatever of proscription there may be among the respectable people of Charleston has been hammered into them by Radical principle and practice. White men and colored men have been employed without distinction, and so have Democrats and Re? publicans. If, in any one case, there bas been a change of conduct it is due to that Radical proscription which in this State has driven from place well nigh ali t hat is respect? able, and bas filled the highest and lowest offices with men whose only qualification is the fervor of their political faith, and their undying hostility to all that is true and pur?. THE Sumter Watchman says that a num? ber of merchants, seeing how difficult it is to avoid buying stolen produce, have abandoned entirely the trade in seed cotton. The Watchman denounces the whole nefa? rious, traffic, and winds up with the declara? tion that it "must ceasfe." The Darlington Democrat hopes that the suggestion of THE CHAKLBSTOX NEWS may .be taken up by all the papers in the State, irrespective of party, and all the honest people will petition the General Assembly for thc passage of a bill restricting the purchase and sale or produce likely to have been stolen. The Democrat says: "The loss of what ?3 stolen of "one trop, severe as it may bc, is not so 'ruinous as the^ discouragement to "indus "try and labor which this wholesale rob "bery occasions. If the Legislature will "givens such a law, our. magistrates aud "township officers would then act in concert "throughout the State in punishing such "marauders, and the people would feel that "that they had some protection of law. We "fee! assured that such a petition would be "signed by four-fifths of the voters of Dar "lington." The Charleston Strike. / Within the last few weeks we hare had a remarkable and heretofore unprecedented outcropping of "strikes" in Charleston. The longshoremen, the ship carpenters, the house painters, the tailors, and we know not what other fractional part of our toiling human I ity, have suspended their work and deman? ded higher wages. Without pretending to enter into the merits of the controversy, and without even calling the attention of those whom it concerns to thc simple principle that a proper workman's union is defensive and not offensive, we must say that we think the present conflict is most unreasonable. The strike ordinarily is the resort of the im? poverished workman against the thriving proprietor. In the present instance it has been precipitated by knavish politicians. It is an attack by labor upon the proprietor I just when he needs every favorable circum? stance for the re-establishment of a business on which, not his support only, but that of his bands depends. So long1 as the world endures, we suppose, the contest between labor and capital must go on, and with the same varying fortunes as those which attend the competitions of the bulls and bears of New York. The man of means will naturally endeavor to secure as large a return for his investments and his risks and his losses as he can ; and the man of muscle will seek to appropriate the larg? est proportional share of the profits which he has toiled to secure. In a normal state of society we should' have no occasion to deprecate such a con? flict We might trust in thc operation of the laws of political economy, as other com? munities do, for the regulation of wages. This interest has a method of adjusting itself, [ 'ii not in accordance with the highest prin? ciples, at least in such a way as contributes to the general prosperity and to tne wealth ol the State. The conflict is unequal, for usually the employer has some means to fall back upon, while the workman cannot afford to re? main idle for a week or a month without incur? ring the danger qf starvation. This is one of the safeguards against the interruption of those general and useful enterprises in which the capital of a country is invested. But if, as sometimes happens, the laborer triumphs and secures a larger proportion of wagoe than would properly and naturally accrue to his work, his success invites competition among his own class. The supply soon be? comes greater than the demand, and as the number of workmen increases they under? bid* each other to obtain work. Thus capi? tal recovers its lost ground, the labor-rate'is .resumed, and the ringleaders of the strike are obliged to leave the country for want of employment!. Such has been thc experi? ence of the English operatives. The vari? ous combinations, often tumultuous and even violent, which have sought to fix an arti? ficial scale of prices, have proved but a mere eddy upon the broad, deep stream of the national prosperity. In all the depart? ments of industry an inexorable law, the law of supply and demand, has'' prevailed like a decree of fate. Mr. Buckle calls attention to tbe fact that the Revolution in England which culminated and collapsed in the Protectorate of Crom? well, was more of an industrial than a po? litical movement. The like remark may be made in reference to the French Revolution. It is a suggestive circumstance that each of these national labor-strikes resulted, in a personal government, which crippled lubor and exiled liberty itself. In Charleston a strike just now is, as we have intimated, most unfortunate. As Adam Smith has abundantly shown, an increase of wages is absolutely dependent upon, and must be in proportion to, the inorease of funds from which the payment is to bo drawn. Where the revenues of a business and the stock invested in it aro limited, the wages of the labor employed must of neces? sity be lower than in tho wealthy establish? ments of a flourishing community. To sug? gest New York prices as a standard for Charleston is simply preposterous. We are j just beginning to live; capital is not abun? dant; the profits of trade are uncertain; men of the highest accomplishment aud char? acter are reduced to salaries which satisfy the necessaries of life, but afford little more. The season is not auspicious for a strike. And if it were, might not Captain Stoddard and his obsequious cohorts of longshoremen prudently and modestly wait-until their betters were served ? There were, we doubt not, exceptional cases of grievance represented in the recent movement-cases where wages were not re? munerative and wh?re the industry needed special recognition, because it required the labor of the brain as well as the hand. It was an unfortunate circumstance, however, that the most inferior kind of labor was the most clamorous in its demands and the most riotous in its demonstrations; that it is a Radical League with a Radical leader and a Radical ward who have presumed, in the name of the laboring class, to demand the control of the wharves and shipping of Charleston. It will not take long to settle this business. TUE present population of Williamsburg County is: Whites, 5690, and blacks, 11,786. Total, 17,476. In 1860 the population was: Whites, 5187, and blacks, 10,302. Total, 15.4S9. _jto^^nb JFoun?._ _ LOST AND FOUND AGAIN.-IF YOU have lost anything, make it known to thc public through this column.
