Charles Green, Son A Co. are receiving "five hundred and seventy-seven packages of pow? er looms and ether valuable machinery, ordered in Manchester for the new cotton mill now in toarse of construction at Columbus, by the Eagle and Phoenix Manufacturing Company. The looms embrace the latest scientific improvements, sc? ouring a large gain In the power ol production over the more costly machinery furnished by our Northern manufacturers. -Mrs. Stowe has again postponed thc publica, tion of ker book proving Byron to bc a monster; and she wUl probably postpone lt still further when she reads the oration which thc Rev. Geo. - GOnTlan has been deUverlng in Scotland on the subject. He says that the advertised book "will only perpetuate, along with the blasted memory of Itt subject, her ultorneous, officious, unwoman? ly, unenviable share In the miserable task, and aend her name down to posterity as a sort of volunteer moral Mrs. Calerait, or female execu? tioner to a man whom, with all his faults, I pro? nounce ineffably greater and nobler than her small, sanctimonious, but viperous, Yankee self.'' -The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, In regard to the vacant Judgeships, says: "Several names have been pressed upon thc President by Southern men and others, but he has failed to find an unobjectionable one. Thc proposition ls made to change thc Southern Cir? cuit somewhat, so as to admit thc State of Arkan? sas, at present in the Circuit of Justice Miller, and appointing Judge Caldwell, or the United States District Court, and the President is giving this proposition earnest consideration. For thc vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr. Stanton, there seems to be Utile doubt that Judge Strong, of Pennsylvania, will bc the appointee. Judge Brewster, ex-Attorney General, of Pcnnsylaula, was to have been Attorney-General In place of Hoar, bad the latter been confirmed for the Su? preme Court." -A Washington letter of Monday says: "Our colored brethren here have organized a National Bureau of Labor, and appointed the Rev. (colored) sella Martin as financial agent. They have also appointed a committee to procure the passage of Senator Wilson's bill m relation to immigration. One of their principal ostensible objects is to per? fect a system of co-operation; but a l hore well anderstand that thc scheme Is purely a political one, In the interest or a few white < rpct-bag members of Congress from the Southe: 11 States, who stand conveniently behind the org. 1 zatlon, and that the true intent and meaning 0. e buri' ness ls to perpetuate negro rule in th South. The National Bureau of Labor is the offspring of the late Negro Labor Convention held here, aud Saunders, Cresswell's negro special mall agent, who Uves m Baltimore, and Hamilton, white M. C. from Florida, and a few other choice specimens .f Boothera Radicalism, arc running it. Under the manlpalaHMhof such disinterested patriots, who shall say that the last state or the late negro chattel may not be worse than thc first.'' -The country will bc delighted to hear how Christmas was spent at thc White Honte. The President and Mrs Grant entertained the follow? ing party at dinner on Christmas evening: Mr. Dent, father of Mrs. Grant; Judge and Mrs. Dent, of Mississippi; Dr. and Mrs. Alexander Sharp; General, Mrs. and MUs F. T. Dew : Mr. and Mrs. George Dent, ef California; General awl Mrs. Hor ace Porter; General and Mrs. Babcock; General Adam Badeau; General and Mrs. Comstock; Mr. and Mrs. Smith; Captain and Mrs. Ammcn, U. S Navy; Miss Nellie and Masters Ulysses and Jesse Grant, and Oates. The dinner was a fine one, and was prepared under the directions of the new steward, V. Meiah, of New York, who commenced his services ascA</ Oe cuisine on this occasion. At the conclusion of thc banquet, tho party pro? ceeded to the East Room and promenaded and indulged m social converse for a time. They afterwards repaired to the Red Room, and ; closed the evening with music and singing, the Juveniles amusing themselves in their own way. -A Washington letter to the Ballimore Gazette ?says : "Whatever may be sahl to Hie contrary, lt .ls known that before his nomination to thc Sen? ate Hr. Stanton's health was such as to give un? erring proof that he would never be able to dis? charge tho duty of a Supremo Judge. He was, at Ole inception of the project of nomination, upon the "Prink of the grave. It was known, further, that General Grant has always been strenuously opposed tt tven a sheer compliment of the kind. Yet lt Ls seen th?.? he caused the 'commission' to be mads ont after the breath was out of thc man's Mdy-a perfectly nngatory act, and of as much legal effect as a blank piece of paper. To make MUs plain, lt ls necessary to say that the *noml aatoM* by tho President and assent and advice of thc Senate are altogether preliminary to tile 'appointment' or a pabilo ofilcer ; that after the'advice and consent'are given, it remains at the option of thc Executive whether to 'appoint.' The 'appointment' waa never consummated. Mr. Stanton was never, therefore, a Judge of the Su* preme Conrt. The sending or his 'commission' arter his death wa3 raero mockery; and, I! ante? dated, a sheer fraud. Thc President will find this out when he sends In the name or a snecessur. The new nominee must be named as the succes? sor nrJndxe drier, not 'Jndgc' Stanton. There is something behind ali this, but this is not thc tune to lift the curtain." Free Farms for White Immigrant-.. We print (his morning a report of the proceeding of a meeting held at Robert ville in tins State, on the 21st instant, who ia number of planters agreed to cive tracts of land, free of charge, to European farm hands, upon certain conditions recommended by a i committee, and agreed to by thc meeting. It is now generally understood, that il will be difficult to direct to the seacoast the tide of while immigration which sets toward Vir? ginia and Georgia, and towards the upper parts of this State, Other things being equal, thc immigrant will avoid the low country, but when he is offered land free of all charge, he has a reason for preferring the cotton and rice of the seaboard to the corn and wheat of the mountains. In nearly every Southern State lands can be bought, at fairly low prices, with easy terms nf paj mont, but in no State of which wc have knowledge, except South Carolina, do thc landowners propose to give the immigrant a farm large enough to support in comfort him and his family, The general principle of giving away a part of a tract of land, in order to enhanc the value of the remainder, needs no vindica? tion here; but it is possible so to hamper the grant with conditions and restrictions as to destroy its attractiveness, and make it power? less to accomplish opy substantial good. This is the danger suggested by reading the "Three Conditions" of the Robertville planters. The first condition requires the immigrant to work for thc first six months for the donor of the land, at the regular wages. This is indirectly exacting a price for the land, but the chief objection is that the immigrant is required to work for others at the very time when lie should be hardest at work for him? self. With fences to repair, with a house and outbuildings to pat up. with land to cul? tivate, with a thousand things to do to make wife and children comfortable, he requires for his own active use every hoar of daylight. If thc immigrant is starving and cannot wait until his food comes out of the ground, he may win bread by working six days in the week for the donor of the land, while on the seventh day lie scratches thc soil so as to make, in time, a few bushels of corn or a handful of cotton. lint this is not tho cla?s of immigrants we want, or that we expect to obtain. Thc second and third conditions arc whol? ly impractical ile. We may dismiss the second with the remark that, nuder it, an immigrant could not exchange a word with a negro. Of the tltird, it is enough to say that the immigrant could not, by any agree? ment, strip himself of his natural right to appeal to the courts for redress, nor would he forfeit his land by going into court in di? rect opposition to the terras of his agree? ment . The plan of giving away surplus land to se? lect immigrants is the best that^he low coun? try can adopt. But the conditions should be few and simple. The donors might stipu? late that a just proportion of the land should bc regularly cultivated ; that none of the land should be sold by the immigrant until after the expiration of a certain number of years: that the land should not then be sold except to a certain class of immigrants; but, at the bottom of it all. should be thc explicit declaration that, after a stated time, ten years for instance, the lund should be held hy the immigrant in fee simple, nnd be, in fact, as absolutely his property as though it had been bought and paid for with bis own hard-earned money. Unless thc immigrant ,can sec his way out of thc woods, and can I look forward to the day when he can do as he likes with his own, a gift of land will be rather shunned than sought, hy those whom we most desire to attract into the State. Soi lal Discontent. Perhaps the most prolific cause ot discon? tent is just now a want of consideration and sympathy. Confining our thought to our own lot merely, we are apt to esteem our? selves as unjustly deallh with in thc parti? tion of this world's goods. We are impa? tient of thc burdens of life, because they seem specially oppressive in our case, and wo loudly clamor for relief. Thus the workman, regarding lits sordid home, reflecting upon his long and poorly re? quited labor, keenly feeling bis social depres? sion, beset by children lean and hungry as greyhounds, experiencing discomfort tn sick? ness and anticipating privation in old age stands in thc foreground of a picture of scan? ty sunlight and sombre with advancing storm?. Yet, perchance, his employer, who seems so prosper?os, and keeps so serene a frout, may hear a heavier burden. Notwithstand? ing all the fair seemings that are necessary for the maintenance of thc credit of the lat? ter, thc circumstances of his condition maj be more dist fessing. So many debts to pay; so large an establishment to maintain-so much money lo ;M?SC, such adverse circum? stances to encounter mid lo overcome such a Fabian policy of contest against over? whelming odds to pursue; all this may tax his fortitude to thc utmost. And all the while bi' credit forbids him to murmur or to wince. Ii? is like the stoned Spartan, who held the fox under his robe and remained silent, while the wild creature was tearing out his vitals. Yet these contending c?eseos are not the only stations of discontent History is full of the disquietudes of Kings, " Within whoso "hollow crown Death kept his court"-of weary greatness, and of troubled aflluenoe ::nd nobility. Byron's grandson was so im? pressed w Uh the cares cf elevated rank, thai he refused n> take his hereditary place in the peerage and :he noose of Lords, prefer? ring to be a workman in un iron foundry, illaikie give.s th? story of a nobleman who, standing on an eminence with a friend, told him that ali the fcrtilo acres enclosed by thc horizon li longed to his estate. "How hap "py a man .jon mest be I" exclaimed his companion. " Happy I" replied the wealthy "nobleman, .'Happy! lo all that wide ex '.'panse which you behold, lucre is not a '.hamlet that contains so utterly wretched a "?an!" Aa the old proverb has it "there '.is a skeleton in every house." Every one will remember how shrewdly Addison rebuked this general discontent In one of his thoughtful apologue* in tho Spectator, he represents the King of Heaven as sending forth a summons lo all tho atllict cd of the haman race, to make an exchange of tue burdens and evils under which they groaued. The summons was cheerfully obeyed-thc transfer joyfully effected. But soon Hie dissatisfaction was greater than ever. Each sufferer felt that his new burden was more intolerable than the old; and hy general consent they made a second trans? fer-each man recovering his own. Thus pleasantly does thc English essayist satirize the folly of tho general discontent. It id a mere truism to say-and yet none do we moro readily forget-that the cause of most of our troubles lies in ourselves, not in our surroundings. A restless, unreasoning desire for something moro than you now en? joy-something larger, better, dearer-an insatiable greed of nature, is thc prolific source of our social rivalries and conflicts. This is the real motive of that envy and haie which the social lovelier vainly seeks to dis? guise under the mask of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity ; words sacred and potent, were they not historically the rallying cry of a carnival of disorder, or the slogan of au orgie of blood. To human nature and to society itself, nothing ls more prejudicial than that eager jaclousy and selfishness which, under such fair pretences, arc over agitating thc conimu ties of men, and are oftentimes loudest in their clamors before thc tribunals of justice a jealousy and selfishness as distinct from the restlessness which se^ks unt iringly the legit? imate means of individual and general im? provement, as ia thc license of Radicalism from the liberty wc all dc3ire. WHAT does the Radical world think of tho haughty Mayor Pillsbury, who palavers and champagnes tho officers of thc Spanish fleet, whiie the Legislature of tim State pledges "thc last man and last dollar" to the cause of suffering Cuba? Mayor Pillsbury, it must be admitted, is highly practical in bia ex? pressions of sympathy. Tho glorious vin? tage of champagne is better far than a trucu? lent resolution. Wine is more attractive than whine, and Charleston foots the bill. ON and after the first of January next, no person will be allowed to kiss his wife, nurse n baby, or carry on any other "trade, busi? ness or profession," without first obtaining a city license, as required by the bill "to regu? late licon?oa," printed in another column. THE Darlington Democrat says Mfrt it is almost certain that Judge Orr will be raised to thc Supremo Bench, and that Whipper's defeat ie cortain. Wo aro inclined to be? lieve that there will be no election until late in the session-if at all. ?or Sale. FUR SALE, THAT DESI RA RLE RESI? DENCE, No. OS South liar. Apply to ROB EKT BEE, No. ?
