fSr-KCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.]
WASHINGTON, November io.
A bitter controversy bas sprang up, in the course
or a prize case, between Admiral Farragut and
Admiral Porter. Farragut claims that Porter's
mortar fleet, at New Orleans, worked seven days
and did no damage to tbe forts or to tbe Confed?
erate fleet. Porter files a reply denouncing Farra?
gut's statements as untrue, and declaring that he
(Porter) suggested the attack himself, and worked
eight days to get Farragut's fleet over the bar;
and, moreover, that his mortar Are did great
damage, both to the forts and fleet of the Con?
federates.
It ls now ascertained beyond the shadow of a
doubt that the mission of General Babcock, of the
President's staff, with Senator Cole and Judge
O'Sullivan to San Domingo last summer was to re?
open negotiations for the purchase of that island,
to be used as a naval stationed the United States.
The mission was successful, and the terms were
agreed upon by the commission and President
Baez of the Dominican Republic. The scheme of
annexation is to be submitted to the Senate in se
*? oret session upon the opening of Congress. The
agents of Baez will be here, and will undoubtedly
bring to bear a powerful lobby pressure to secure
the consummation of the purchase.

EUROPE.
Mr. Gladstone on the Issues of the Day.
, LONDON, November IO.
' Mr. Gladstone, at the Lord Mayor's Festi?
val, spoke discouragingly regarding Ireland,
?uumlng peace with all the world, Gladstone
sai'l: "One partial exception I ought to make,
and lt is an exception of the deepest interest to
Englishmen, namely, our relations with America;
bat there ls no occasion which I could more ap?
propriately refer to these relations, or better de?
scribe them, than as those or peace and concord.
Were I to attempt to depart from that friendly
strain, I should be admonished to Judge more
correctly and speak more wisely by an event
which has happened within this city dur?
ing the last few days. I refer to the death
of George Peabody, a man whose splendid
benefactions will secure immortality for
hts name in that which he regarded as
his old mother country, but whose fame like?
wise, and in a broader sense, is applicable to all
humanity. He has taught us the most needful of
all lessons, how a man can be made master of his
fortune and not its slave, and it is most touching
to know what I have learned from his friends,
that while some men would have been unhappy
at the idea of dying in a foreign land, his affec?
tions were so divided between the land of his
birtnand the land of his ancestors that that
which had been the fondest of his wishes may
now be realized, to be buried in America but to
die in England.
"With Mr. Peabody's country we are not likely
to quarrel. It is true that care and skill in diplo?
macy, animated though it has been by the purest
and most upright feelings, although it has not
imperilled our peace, has failed to lead to the tirst
issue, up to tue present moment, upon thc tangled
questions or law which have been in discussion
between the two countries.
"Considerable delay has taken place, yet every
delay, instead of leading to danger, was prompted
by considerate good-will and a desire to allow the
intervention of a limited time m order to obviate
the difficulties. [Cheers.]
"1 believe the world would view with horror
a parricidal strife between England and America,
but such a state of things is not Ukely to arise,
from our own present relations and my confi?
dence m the sentiments which I know animate
the American Government as weU as our own,
and which also animate the minds of the people
of these two great countries.'' [Cheers.]

COLUMBIA, November 10.
The sixth Annual Fair of the South Caro?
lina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, to
which citizens of every part of the old Palmetto
State have looked forward with so mnch pleasure,
was opened to the public at 10 o'clock to-day.
The Grounds
Are located on the northwestern edge of the
city and embrace an area of about twenty acres.
Within a few paces, and a little to the left of the
entrance gate, is the speaker's stand. There is,
within hearing distance, a row or two of scats for
the feminine portion of the audience that may be
assembled to hear addresses or witness the distri?
bution of prizes, while the male portion and a
great many of the other sex, perhaps, will have
to stand. A few steps further on ls a large framed
building, with several wings, erected for the pur?
pose of containing such articles as will not bear
exposure. It is quite a commodious building and
well adapted for its purpose. In thc centre of this
building is an aquarium, containing about a thous?
and fish of various species. A fountain in the
centre plays constantly and adds much to the
beauty of the aquarium. To the ri?ht of the en?
trance ls the race course, with a naif mile track
for "trials of speed"-they don r. have races at
fairs. On the outer edge of the grounds are the
stalls, pens and coops for the stock and poultry.
The Crowd.
At an carly hour the grounds commenced to
present an animated appearance. All of the
streets leading to the grounds were crowded with
gaily-dressed people wending their way on
foot, while vehicles of every description and by
scores came from all directions, and deposited
their burdens at the gate. By ll o'clock there
were at least two thousand people assembled
upon the grounds. Many there were who in the
better days of their loved old State attended these
fairs to peacefully compete in the products of
the soil, their skill in stock raising, and their suc?
cess tn mechanism and arte. Change of circum?
stances were now noticed, and many absent faces
recalled; but all seemed determined to remember
tn silence, if not to forget, the things of the past,
and add each his or her mite to thc enjoyment
of the occasion, which, after nine long, weary
years, had summoned them once more together
to compete as of yore.
There was much to Interest and instruct, and
as fast as the people gained the grounds they dis?
persed to view the objects on exhibition, and
passed the time pleasantly In inspecting the large
variety of improved breeds of stocks, the fine col?
lection of useful machiner}- and agricultural im?
plements, the delightful array of household and
domestic manufactures, thc mineral specimens,
and the Immense number of agricultural produc?
tions.

TUE ONLY FEMALE MASON.
How She Obtained her Degrees-Her
Portrait In every Lodge Room In Ire?
land.
[From the New York Em ;
rn Thc Honstfuzabeth St. Leger was the only
female who was ever initiated into thc mystery of
Freemasonry. She has had two degrees-the first
and second-conferred on her. As lt may be In?
teresting to the general reader, we give the story
as to how Miss Leger obtained this honor, premi?
sing that the Information comes from the best of
sources. Lord Doncrailc, Miss St. Leger's father,
a very zealous Mason, held a warrant and occa?
sionally opened lodge at Doneralle nouse, his
sons and some Intimate friends assisting; and lt
is said that never were Masonic duties more rigo?
rously performed than by the brethren of No. 100,
the number of their warrant.
It appears that previous to the Initiation or a
gentleman to the first degree of Masonry, Miss St.
Leger, who was a young girl, happened to be In
an apartment adjoining thc room generally used
au a lodge room, but whether the young lady was
there by design or merely accident, we cannot
confidently state. The room at thc tima was un?
dergoing some alteration; among otTffir things
the wall was considerably reduced in one part ror
thc purpose of making a saloon. The young lady
having heard the voices of Freemasons, and being
Incited by thc curiosity natural to all to see this
mystery, so long and so secretly locked up from
the public view, had thc courage to pick u brick
from thc wall with her scissors, and thus witness
the two first steps of thc ceremony.
Curiosity gratified, fear at once took possession
of her mind, and those who understand this pas?
sage Well know what thc feeling of any person
must bc who could unlawfully behold that cere?
mony : let them judge what were thc reelings of
a young girl under si.oh extraordinary circum?
stances. There was no mode of escape, except
through the very room where the concluding part
or thc second step was still being solemnized at
the far end, and the room a very large one. Miss
St. Leger had resolution enough to attempt her es?
cape that way, and, with light but trembling
steps, glided along unobserved, laid her hand on
thc bandle of the door and opened it, but before
her stood, to her dismay, a grim tiler with his
long sword unsheathed.
A shriek that pierced through thc apartments
alarmed the members of the lodge, who, all
rushing to the door, and finding that Miss St.
Leger had been in the room during thc ceremony,
resolved, it ls said, lu the paroxysm of their rage,
to put the fair spectatress to death; but at the
moving ami earnest supplication of her youngest
brother, her lire was spared, on condition or her
going through thc two remaining steps of the
solemn ceremony she had unlawfully witnessed.
This she consented to, and they conducted the
beautiful and terrified young lady through those
trials which are sometimes more than enough for
masculine resolution, little thinking they were
taking into the bosom of their craft a member
thal would reflect a lustre on thc annuls of Ma?
sonry.
Miss St. Leger was consln to General Anthony
St. Leger, who Instituted the intercstlDg race and
celebrated Doncaster St. Leger stakes. Event ital?
ly she married Richard Aldworth, Esq., of New?
market, a member of a highly honorable and an?
cient ramify. Whenever a benefit was given at
any or the theatres in Dublin or Cork, ror the Ma?
sonic Female Orphan Asylum, Mrs. Aldworth
walked at thc head or thc Freemasons, with her
apron and other insignia or Freemasonry, and
sat In the rront row or thc stage box. Thc house
was ulwuys crowded ou these occasions. The
portrait of thia estimable woman is In the lodge
room of almost every lodge in Ireland.
RETALIATION IN CUBA.
A Desperate Resolve.
A letter from Havana (October 30) s-ay.-:
The. Cniinn patriots, having bided their time
during all thc mouths of continual nUu an>l well
nigh impassable roads, are about to strike Hie
first telling, crushing and overwhelming blow of
this war.
President C?spedes bas issued a proclamation
decreeing the destruction of every stalk of sugar?
cane on the island. lt is rapidly ripening now.
Thc orders for burning it .os fastas it will ignite,
of trampling upon it, of ruining the crop, have
been made. The machinery of thc sugar-mills
must either be disabled beyond easy repair or
entirely destroyed. The tens of thousands of
liberated slaves are already at the initiatory
work. With thc mocheta and torch, you can im?
agine thousands or hair-nude, dusky forms gliding
among the cane fields, and with their buming
pine knots Hilting around the sugar-mills and
slave huts or the plantations. They will make
merry of thc work of ruin, and do it most
thoroughly.
Full three-fourths of the sugar crop and two
thirds or one-half of the tobacco crop wiil be de?
pt royed. The Cuban Government promises re?
imbursement to loyal Cubans at thc end of the
war.
This terrible weapon of warfare will stagger
the grasping illiberal Spaniard. Hy lt the reve?

An Interesting Communication.
TO THE EDITORS Or TOE NEWS.
A few days ago I received a letter from Mr.
Ferlove, our former State agent of Immigration
for the Scandinavian countries, in which he in?
forms me that early in this month he will leave
Malnio, in Sweden, to arrive in Charleston about
the 23d, when he would bc happy to meet planters
that desire to make contracts for European labor,
at any convenient place. It would, perhaps, be in?
teresting to a number of your readers to peruse
Mr. Ferlove's lotter, and If the country papers
would generally copy lt, some good might result.
Yours, rcepcctfully, JOHN A. WAOZNEB.
MALMO, October 19,1869.
To General John A. Wagener, Charleston, S.C.:
DEAR SIR-In the supposition that you are still
interesting yourselfin behalf of immigration toour
State,I hope jon will call attention to thepollowlng:
SinetvJ left Charleston I have devoted most of
my time to the Immigration question, and I am,
therefore, at present better able to know what
ought to be done In order that South Carolina
may get her share of the surplus population
which leaves Europe. T\e first, which I saw was
necessary, was to become a passenger agent for
one of the transatlantic steamboat companies.
After a great deal of delay and trouble, I have
now obtained the agency of the Cunard line-the
best steamboat line running from Liverpool to
New York. This company has deposited with the
Swedish Government $-2300 in currency as a se?
curity for the forwarding of thc Immigrants in?
conformity witli the Swedish emigration laws.
I am now In possession of a license as agent for
thc forwarding of immigrants to transatlantic
harbors, and I shall -lo my best In trying to make
thc Immigrants go to South Carolina. Wc have,
In Sweden, a great number of people, who are
unable to pay their whole passage to America,
and they embrace the offers of some three or four
land companies in Missouri, Wisconsin, Minne?
sota and Lower Canada, which pay half of
their passage-about $15 In gold. Wisconsin
got about 1000 immigrants last spring in this way.
When these immigrants arrive at their place of
destination, they have to work on the lands of
thc companies at a fixed price, and then receive
some acres of land In wages, a t-omctblng sim?
ilar could be arranged, I have no doubt that I
could send out a number of immigrants every fall.
My proposition would bc as follows: If a farmer
wishes to get a number of hands, he deposits, at
thc time lie makes the requisition, with any banker
in Charleston, fifteen dollars In gold, or he may
bind himself to pay that amount on the demand
of thc banker for each hand, male or female.
above twelve years, and half the amount for chil?
dren between eight and twelve years. Thc requi?
sitions, with a duplicate, arc sent to mc, endorsed
by the banker. The duplicate I send to D. A C.
Mac Joe, the firm In Liverpool, who are to forward
thc immigrants. So KOCH as thc banker is notified
by thc said firm that thc Immigrants engaged
have left Liverpool for Charleston he will forward
the amount deposited for the emigrants In ques?
tion to the order of the said D. A UL Mac Joe. The
planter will be running no other risk than that
the vessel with his people should go down, and
"that he may guard against by Insurance. A con?
tract should be drawn up between thc employer
and his people which should stipulate how much
each person, male or female, shall receive In
wages per month, besides board and lodging. If
a married man, how much land he will have for a
garden, how many hours of the day the laboring
man must work and the kind of work, farm work
Or any other, and what kind of work the females
are wanted for, kitchen or any other, or alb
The wages wul be the first year so much be?
sides the money paid in advance. The contract
must not bc for any longer space of time than
from the arrival of the immigrant on the planta?
tion to thc 31st December thc same year, if the
immigrant arrives in the spring; or m the next
year, If the immigrant arrives lu the fall or late
year. The laborer mu9t be received In Charles?
ton, and pass free of charge to the plantation or
thc place of destination.
If thc people engaged do not do what they con?
tracted to do, the employers t?avc a right to dis?
miss them at any time; and if the employer does
not come np to his contract, the people will have
thc right to quit him. Thc immigrant does not
receive any of his wages before he has been In
thc service two months-he then receives one
month's wages, thc remainder being retained as a
security for his good conduct.
If you will make the above known to thc people
of South Carolina, and \*\\ think I shall meet
with success, I may count on at least twe
hundred immigrants thc coming year. I shall
myself arrive In Charleston the latter part of No?
vember, but only to remain there ten or twelve
days, as my business prevents me from any
longer absence. Yours respectfully,
W. J. FEKLOVE.
