(PEON, otra OWN OOBBSHFONDKNT.J SunTKB, a C., November 13. Oar county this year has made .thou t two-thirds nf a cotton and one-third of a corn crop. As for rice, . potatoes, Ac, the continued dry weather during the summer has caused the yield to be very small ja trifid considering what poor crops have been made ls some portions of the State, our people should be conten ted that they have done BO well. It is not unusual to hear of from one to two bales of cotton being made to the acre, and hal' a bale ts a common report. In a few years less than a hate to the acre will be considered a short crop. How much of their cotton the farmers have jost by theft, lt ls Impossible to estimate; but, yOdgi"g by the large quantities of seed cotton said" this fall, the thief tax must be a very heavy one. The farmers, usable to protect at night their wide extended fields, and surrounded by Skinning and expert thieves, have remonstrated with merchants and traders for aiding, however ?ninhmtionally, these rogues, by purchasing seed cotton at all; and In most Instances this appeal has been received and responded to in the right spirit. But there are yet some who are unwilling to give up the profits of a traffic, which, though a source of great wrong, ls not yet prohibited hy law. Some unknown pearsons, banded together, and supposed to be K. K.'s, have taken the mat tor Into their own hands. Several stores, after Csvious warning to their owners, have been rat. Some who were warned have agreed to atop trading In this line. These violent measures .re not approved of by our people. They desire that the whole moral force of the community be arrayed against this nefarious tramc,but condemn such lawless means for stopping it. Scott's proc? lamation onerlng a reward of one thousand dol? lars f?r Information against, and arrest of, the parties, could not bc objected to, If lt were written In the right spirit. Its publication also suggests to our minds the fact that many cases ol malici?os incendiarism have happened lately in our county, in which very worthy persons were the sufferers, yet the thunder of the Executive was not heard, nor was any inducement offered, in th? shape of a reward, for the discovery of the perpetrators. One of the victims of those K. K. proceed? ings which have BO stirred up the Executive wrath, is a Radical brother of Radical Congress? man Robertson. State Constable Hubbard a few days ago paid a visit to our county, and as a re? sult of his investigation a number of most re? spectable persons have been arrested as being Ku The congregation of the Episcopal Church in this place had a fair at the beginning of this month, which proved quite successful. The amount realized was much greater than was hoped for. It is proposed by some of the ladies of our town to have a fair on the ??th of December next, for the purpose of raising a fund with whica to erect a monument to the Confederate dead af our district. This patriotic object, which duW and love both commend to the minda of the neifie, will, I am sure, enlist their warmest sym? pathies and hearty co-operation. *. JEVGENIX WITH THE TUSKS. THE EMPRESS OF THE FRENCH ASTONISH? ING THE SULTAN. Her Conversation with the American Minister-Seeking a Pretext for a Visit to the United States-The Great Spanish Beauty Promised a Splendid Reception in America. A Constantinople letter to the New York Son says: All business has been suspended at the Porte for the. last week, in consequence of the fetes to the Empress Eugenie. Her reception bas been magnificent in every sense of the word. On Friday last, the diplomatic corps were presented to her at the palace of Beglerbey. She was ex? ceedingly cordial and pleasant to the American Minister. Among other things, she said to him: "I love to travel, and the more I travel, the more I love it. I have a great desire to visit the United States, and 1 should rejoice to find a pretext for going there." Our representative assured her that she would meet with a cordial reception from the Government and people of the United States, and he hoped she would And an opportu? nity to honor ns with a visit. THOSE WINNING WAY8. Yon eannot imagine the grace and charming manner in which she thanked Mr. Jay Morris for this response. Her bearing and manners are so fascinating, that unless a diplomat is on his guard he may commit a breach of etiquette in responding toe freely to her winning frankness. She is amiable to all, and has an apt word for all. She has won all Leans here by her innate good- j ness and the graces of her manner and person, j ? GRAND REVIEW. On Saturday there was a review of 30,000 troops at Hunklar Iakelessl in her honor. The Sultan conducted her to the review from Beglerbey in his own steam yacht. TOOMBS' COUNTERPART. Abdnl-AzLs bears a striking resemblance to Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, of Bunker Hill and Confede? rate fame-the same imperious air and tawny complexion and tinge of aboriginal blood-carry? ing about him that impregnable and immeasura? ble sense of power, which marks great slave and land-owners as well as absolute sovereigns. EUGENIE PENOTTPED. Eugenic is the embodiment of Andalusian grace and Parisian stylishness. Seen from a distance, she retains all the beauty which in times of yore made her the most courted belle at Madrid, Lon? don and Paris. But on closer proximity to her, and when her face ls not bathed in that sea of smiles which constitutes its most fascinating charm, the ominous finger of age, which settles on ladles' faces, and especially round their eyes, after the fortieth year has been left behind, par- I tlcularly when, like Eugenie, they have tasted all > the sweets of life and love, has left its impress in unmistakable swellings of the skin and irrepressi? ble soupcons of coming wrinkles. But ker eyes 1 retain all their lustre of younger days, and reflect j ] with bewitching fidelity the thousand emotions I sf a gushing heart and the mercury-like ! luctuations of a capacious, sparkling andi pol- 1 shed intellect. Long-headed like a Bostonian 1 >eauty, with that wide space between the eye- I ] )rowB which generally denotes good powers of I1 jerception and will, and with gentle protnrber- 1 inces on her forehead which bespeak high imagi 1 lative faculties, her face, well formed as it Is, ! ironld be still more impressive were she to dis- < :lose her brow in all Us fullness. But faithful to 1 he existing fashion, so favorable to ladies with < ?egative foreheads, the dimensions of the brow 1 ire crippled by the arrangement of the balr-dress. 1 Nevertheless, its ample form ls to a certain degree 1 ?vealed by the general configuration of the pro- 1 Ile; conscious of which physiological disclosure, < ter Intellectual coquetry has perhaps something 1 0 do with the mysterious concealment of a M tatura! advantage which is well known to be t tere. The principle charm of her presence is 1 hat of a harmonious undulation of manners, t ?dapted with almost miraculous skill to serve 11 ts an accompaniment to winning smiles, grace- I al gestares, brilliant causerie, and an all per- I ( adtng sweetness of disposition and goodness t f heart. The Empress, by the side of the Sultan, I eemed to the manner born of Oriental life. Her t loorish blood seemed to kindle in the presence of I a he Ottoman monarch, and he, too, may have t nought of the time when Granada, the birth-place 0 f his guest, still owed allegiance to Eastern I alers. To illustrate this affinity of origin, the d ty le of Moorish architecture was adopted for the I v lal ase of the Sultan and the Empress. They oe- h apied the central pavilion, and the two wings p rere appropriated to the Turkish officials and the ti Iplomatlc corps. The day was a clear autumnal n ay of October's nnest weather. The sight of the p loak, with Un Sultan and Empress, and u ie sloping; h?ls in the rear, covered with d hundred thousand Turkish, Persian, Ar- 0 lenian, Greek, and Levantine women, in a Heir varying dressess of ever/ hue, and 0 heir varions Avlea of beauty-from the pale, r elicate, emaciated harem type of Ottoman belles, r a the fortiter in re of unrefined Perlote women s f plebeian, French, Italian, or English descent, s nu of solid American women-all staring with I 0 ewildered curiosity at the Imperturbable Sultan, a nd still more at the ever-smlllng Empress, and * nattering In a hundred idioms, which Mezzo- t inte himself might not have been able to deel- I 1 her; the picture thus presented, together with 1i he fairy-like panorama of the land and sea, the 1 urface of the latter dotted by numer?os caiques, I t ow jd by swarthy Bulgarians dressed in white, ? iresented so many beautiful and picturesque as- I t ?eta that the pencil of the artist may delineate 1 hem for generations to come. IC THE GRAND ILLUMINATION ON THE BOSPHORCK I j The troops occupied about three hours In deni- 11 ag before the kiosk, each regiment, as lt came up t ie*orc the Empress and Sultan, rending the air t rith acclamations. In thc evening the Empress 1 lined with the Sultan en intime, at the famous I j cloak built by Mahemet All on thc Bosphorus, < ront of the valley of Hunklar Iskelessl. The hills 1 iround the valley were covered by an immense 1 ?mp, which was lit up by hundreds of thousands ( >f lights, and from which at irregular intervals, e ind for an hour at times, incessant fusillades \ .vere kept ap. When thc Empress left the kiosk j ? return to Beglerbey, her residence, accom- 1 Danled by the Sultan, the splendors of a full ] noon, paled before thc myriads of fires that burst 1 into the air from the shores of Europe and Asia, j [rom the mountain slopes, and the decks or the t vessels at anchor in the Bosphorus. Indeed, the , passage of the Empress down the Bosphorus was < lit up by one continued blaze of illuminating fire 1 (rom the vessels of war anchored in the Bos- . phoros along the whole route. The illuminations 11 an the Asiatic and European shores were indes- 1 eribably beautiful. The Champs Elysees, the Bois 1 de Boulogne, and the Boulevards bowed, as it h were, their heads In shame and confusion at the ] confession or her Majesty Uiat she never before ] bad witnessed such a scene of magic splendor. AN ORIENTAL BANQUET. 1 On Sunday evening the corps diplomatique I ' dined at the palace or Dolma-Bagtche, and were 1 Introduced at first to a waiting-room, whence, 11 after some delay, they proceeded through a grand I ball to the staircase which led to the banquet-hall of the palace. After a few minutes of attente, the 11 Sultan entered with the Empress on his arm, and bowing low to their guests, they led the way to dinner. About eighty persons sat down to table, including the foreign ministers and all the chief officers of the empire. Thc Sultan and Empress sat together at the head of the table on throned chairs. Thc Empress wore a green robe, richly covered with lace. She wore on her brow a crown I of diamonds that out flashed the blazing gas. Her I necklace was a string of large and elegantly set diamonds. The whole parure was estimated at not less than a million of francs. No toasts were drank, and the Sultan drank no wine. All the gncstB were in full-dress uniforms, blazing with gold embroidery, except the American Minister, who on this, as on all other occasions since thc ?lossage of Senator Sumner's resolution proscrib ng uniforms to civilians In the diplomatic ser? vice, appeared in a plain suit of black. This sim? plicity of costume makes thc representative of the United States recognizable at a glance among the general mass. AFTEIt DINNER TALK. After dinner the company retired to oncer the reception rooms of the palace, where the Em? press and the Sultan entered into conversation with the members of the diplomatic corps gen? erally, and, after addressing thc ambassadors, exchanged graceful words with some or thc nun- j Iswrs, and were marked in their affability to the American Euvoy, the Sultan chatting with him Tor a considerable time, and being evidently very much pleased with the interview. HORB ILLUMINATIONS. Shortly afterward the Sultan offered his arm to tho Empress and retired from the room, which was a Bignal for general departure. The spectacle on thc Bosphorus was magical. All thc vessels of war were ranged in a long linc before thc palace, their rigging hung with lights. As the Empress' barge crossed the Bosphorus to Beglerbey, all the vessels burned Bengal lights, covering thc surface or the water with a sheet or Ore. Thc American Minister accompanied the Russian Ambassador and Mme Ignatlcff to the dinner In the Russian legation steamer. The dinner v.as at 6 P. M. On going down the Bosphorus from Buyukderc to Dolma-Bagtche, the steamer carried t he American flag at ber fore and the Russian on her other most, a circumstance which confirmed the wide-spread impression of an intimate entente oor?iale be? tween the two countries. The Empress conversed nearly half an hour with the Russian Ambassador in the most coquettish and ingenious manner, both sf them from time to time laughing heartily, and evidently enjoying each other's society. The Sultan also was very cordial to General Ignatleff, both or them bantering each other in the most free and easy style. Hext week we are to have the Prince of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, who brings with bim Bianiartk's particular friend, neust. THE BLACK CLOUD IX PARIS. How it "Passed Over thc City-The Pre? cautions Taken at thc Tuileries. The Paris correspondent of the New York World writes: Yesterday, the 20th of October, was to have in? augurated the last French revolution. At the eleventh hour, indeed, its promoters backed out, and gave notice to their adherents that the affair was adjourned to some other time. But as things turned out, they might as well have spared them? selves this trouble; for the weather was such as to make a popular gathering almost impossible. When I drew my window curtains in the morn? ing and looked oat upon the wet and slippery streets, the cold, inclement skies, and the evi? dent discomfort with which every passer-by un? der his umbrella regarded the general condition of the universe, it was a foregone conclusion that under no circumstances could a mob assemble in such weather. It could not hold together. No human being, either with or withoit an umbrel? la, could have expected to stand still for teu minutes exposed to such a cold and pelting rain. But I recalled my Addison to memory: "The dawn ls overcast, the morning lowers, And heavily In clouds brings on the dav: The great, thc important day, big with the fate Of Cato, and of Rome;" And so, when at noon the clouds began to roll away, and the sun sallied forth, I followed his ex? ample and ventured towards the "promised land" of constitutional reform-the Place de la Concorde, on this side of the Seine, and the ball of the Corps L?gislatif on the other. Between these two all ls open to the eye, and lt needed but one glance to see that there was no revolution on the bill of fare for the day. The weather was still damp and chilly, though the sun smiled sa? tirically on the sight-seers, who came for excite? ment and went home with bad colds. There was Indeed a time when there were enough blouses present to have inaugurated row, and some of these were apparently well dis? posed to de so; but they were so scattered and mixed np In the temporary throng, that lt was perfectly plain that their hour was not come, and that, if indeed they had contemplated an out? break, they had come there to Join in it, rather than to organize lt. As the day passed away, so did the people; and I can safely affirm, that for by far the larger part of the twenty-four hours, there were fewer persons In that neighborhood than on aay other day that I have visited it since my ar? rival in Paris. And the great majority of those who were there yesterday, were not at all the kind of people who get up a riot. They were either curiosity-mongers, or persons following their proper avocations, and going about their lawful business. Nevertheless, though there was no disturbance, yon must not suppose that a disturbance was not apprehended or that lt was left unprovided for; and lt is extremely fortunate for the people that the day terminated as it did. There are at least two forces In France, which it ls extremely difficult for any mob to oppose with Buccessful violence. One is public opinion; the other is the army. Both yesterday were against the threatened row. It was naturally enough denounced by every man with a penny In his pocket, but even to many-perhaps to more than I estimate-of those who get their bread from hand to mouth, and are always ready for any erneute, the thing seemed ridiculous and ibsurd. I will not enter into the political dis? putes between the opponents and the partisans if the Bmperor; but whatever they may amount to, this was not the occasion nor the manner to settle them. Because half a dozen deputies aad vowed vengeance against him for refusing to convoke the Legislature on the 26th of October, ind had declared their intention of assembling themselves on that day, and of taking such ac? tion as they might deem fitting; because they Dad backed out, one after another, until only M. (laspall remained firm, and then he backed out, too; because merely of all these things, was Paris o be filled with blood and smoke, and the people Ired on by the troops, and the shops shut up, and rade ruined for three days, ana the most respect? able of cab-drivers and coffee-house waiters be? haved of his pourboire-the five cents of gratul y, which makes his life a blessing instead of a mrden. The idea was absurd. It cannot be denied, however, that there was a rood deal of readiness among the working classes o enter into an encounter with the authorities. )urtng the day of the 25th. and during a part of he evening, I passed through many of the lowest ,ud "unreconstructed" streets of Paris-notably hrough the Faubourg St. Antoine-and the spirit f discontent was very apparent. It is subdued or the present, but If lt does not break out again luring the coming session of the Legislature, rhen some daring deputy will doubtless seek to iga will be at their flood-tide among the peo le-I shall find myself greatly mistaken. For he present,"however, the good sense of the best len, both of the government and the opposition ?rtica, has prevented a great public ?caudal. Thc ?Uer utterly and sternly rebuked any popular emonstration whatever for yesterday. The for? tier took such precautions as would nave made ny popular outbreak futile. Holding, I suppose, io less than 80,000 troops in hand, fully armed, eady to be thrown on any part of Paris at a mo aent's notice, it did not, through all the day, pre ent to the public observation a single additional oldler beyond the customary guards and reliefs if every day. The Emperor took up his quarters A the Tuileries, and went about even more freely han usual, but, though there was provision taken o close the Iron gates of the garden at a mo nent's notice, the sentries who guard the palace vere not Increased In number. That there were nore police officers than usual on the streets ls rue enough; and that they were generally to be ^countered in couples ls also true enough; but hey were always very civil, and it waa only vhen a bunch of forty or fifty people were fathered momentarily together, that the "agents" teemed to find anything to do. Then, lt iras a very polite request-"Move on gentlc nen, If you please I"-and the little crowd would weak up and disperse. In short, it appeared o mc that nine-tenths of the people who vls ted the neighborhood of thc Corps L?gislatif yes? terday were of the same character as myself. We ?ame to see a row, and there being no row to see, ve never thought of making one for ourselves, >ut quletlv went home again. The affair remind :d me of the old story of the astronomer who, by lome means or other, discovered that the moon was filled with precious stones, and that thc only mode to cause those Jewels to become a:rolitlc md to fall upon this dull earth, for the Hudden de ectatlon and enrichment of its Inhabitants, was jy an atmospheric vibration. If every human be? ug, he calculated, was at thc same hour and at the top of his voice to shout "Ooh !" tho desired ?ffect would be produced, and all the world would io about picking up rubles and diamonds and emeralds, as the Jews picked up manna in the wilderness. The edict went forth. The hour was Ixed when all the world was to give vent to one tremendous shout. The hour arrived and univer? sal silence reigned. Every man was so busy In Jstening for the noise of his neighbors that he Himself stood mute, and thc happy occasion was lost forever. Of courae, the promoters of this abortion must lose caste In public opinion, and even, probably, In the opinion of their own party. The journals af to-day which Bupporttho Republican Bidejof the question arc evidently discouraged and In a bad humor. The funny part of the whole affair was the proclamation published by M. Pietrl, thc head of the police here, warning all good people to keep out of the way on the 20th, and quoting the very text of the most rigid law for putting down mobs which I have ever seen or heard of. lt amounts simply to this: That a mayor, or some one from his office, or some one else, shall tic a tri-colored scarf about his waist and say a few words to the mob, and shall cause a drum to be beaten. If the mob is unarmed, there arc to be three rolls of thc drum; if armed, however, but one roll is necessary; and os no one eau say but what in any mob there may bc a man armed with an umbrella, a toothpick, a market-basket, or a leg of mutton, it follows that the one drum-beat may generally bc all that ls re? quired. Then force may be lawfully employed, and force under these circumstances means, ir necessary, grape and canister, sabres and chas scpots. And where do you suppose M. Pietri finds this lively little law-for it ia a law actually in present existence. Thc proclamation which publishes its words for the government of the people at Paris, gives also its date 7th June, 1848, and thc names or its signers and original promul? gators- Arago, Lamartine, Marie, Carnier Pages, and (oh, shade or Brutus !) Ledru Rollin I There ls a refinement of cruelty in this hoisting of thc revolutionary engineer with his own petard which adds fresh anguish to the wounds of thc extrem? ists or thc party of "Irrcconciiibility." One can imagine with what amazement M. Ledru Rollin would read lils own name put forward in defence of tim Empire of Napoleon 111 I A CRUEL CASE. Atrocious Treatment of a Fenian Chap, lain-Barbarity of the Canadian OAS. cials. Thc account given by Father McMahon al thc late meeting in New York of his treatment while a prisoner in Canada, exhibits a degree or cruelty to political prisoners only equalled by that which was exhibited in some cases during our late civil war. In thc case or Father McMahon, however, there would seem to have been no sem? blance or a reasonable pretext for bis being made a prisoner at all, much less for thc barbarity practiced upon him. He states that he was on bis way from Madi? son, Indiana, in June, 1846, to see arter the affairs of his brother who died in Canada, when he round himself on the Canadian side surrounded by Irish soldiers, who, finding he was a priest, and having no chaplain, urged him to act as such, a request which, as a clergyman, he did not feel at liberty to refuse. In this capacity he ministered to the wounded and dying of both Bides in battles which afterwards occurred, and while thus engaged he was made prisoner by the,British forces. He states that upon his trial a letter was introduced in testimony on his behalf from Bishop Luers the bishop of the diocese where he was located as parish priest, showing he had given him per? mission to visit Montreal on matters pertaining to the death of his brother. Mr. Rodler, a lawyer residing in the City of Montreal, testified that at the time of Father McMahon's arrest he expected him in that city to settle the affairs of his deceased brother. A letter from his bishop to the clergy? men of St. Jacques, stating that he was on his way there, was also laid before the court, but was not permitted to be read. Evidence was intro? duced on his behalf, also proven by two witnesses for the prosecution, that when arrested he had in his possession the sacrament and "holy oil" with which the clergy of ?hat faith are provided when visiting the sick and dying. Yet he was found KUilty and sentenced to be hung in flvc weeks from the date of his conviction. His sentence was afterwards commuted to*lmprlsonment for life, and when broken down by prison suffering he was at last released from confinement. When first arrested he was stripped and forced into an ice-cold water bath, where he was kept an hour which resulted in a sickness that Bent him to the hospital for nearly four months. This was after? wards repeated in the coldest month of the win? ter, which rendered another resort to the hospital necessary. Such brutality even to a convicted felon would be inhuman enongh, but in the case of an Innocent man it ls horrible. We are unwil? ling to attribute to the British Government com? plicity with such atrocities. It seems rather like the work of factional or local partisan spite, such as was exhibited in some parts of this country a few years ago, when superserviceable political hacks or corrupt self-seekers thought to com? mend themselves to favor by imputing disloyalty to better men than themselves, and, on the strength of that imputation, practicing barbari? ties, either of omission or commission, upon them for which no civilized government would be wil? ling to avow its responsibility.

Upon the quality and quantity of this clement of life, and upon thc manner in which it ls distributed and apportioned, physical health mainly depends, and as the mind inevitably sympathizes with the body, the vigor of the one is absolutely necessary to the well-being of the other. It is because HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS accomplishes this double object, that it en? joys a reputation aa a preventive and curative never heretofore attained by any medicinal prep? aration. But its direct beneficial operation upon the weak or disordered stomach ls not Ita sole re? commendation. It Ls the most comprehensive of all known remedies, lt tones, strengthens and regulates thc discharging as well as the assimi? lating organs; gently moving the bowels, promo? ting healthful evaporation through thc pores, rousing the inert liver from its torpor, and induc? ing harmonious and natural actbn in thc whole animal machinery. This benign ?Bult is not pro? duced by any or thc reactionary drugs which arc used so lavishly in the old school practice, found? ed by Paracelsus; but by mild, sareand agreeable vegetable agents intermixed with o pure and mel? low stimulant which diffuses their influence through the system and renders their sanitary properties active and effective._ novio 6PAC ?&- MANHOOD.-A MEDICAL ESSAY on the Cause and Cure of Premature Decline in Man, the treatment of Nervous and Physical De? bility, ic.
