Botchers sud Byrons. A KUYUED LEADER. * "Ah me, what perils do environ" The woman meddling with Lord Byron. Tins was a fact, as many knew it, When he was living; but to rue ir. When he's been turned to dust, deceased Some tlve and forty years at least This great distinction do we owe To Mistress Harriet Beecher Stowe. O Stowe, the first of female Beechers, Daughter, wife, sister of great preachers, To- think that you, a saintly veteran, Uiven to the human race's betteriu'; A moral, model, pious, pure, Type of the Puritan demure; A learned dame, with mind gigantic As ever floundered in thc Atlantic A raatrou, too, of fifty-eight. With reverend silver on your pate To think that you should bc a victim Of Byron's, when we know he picked 'em I O Mistress Stowe and Doctor Stowe ! The scandal's great, as you must kno<f; And none the ?ess, it may be said, Because the fascinator's dead. Yet who'd have thought at this late day, A dame mature should fall his prey? That even in his grave this Juan Should be a learned woman's ruin ? Shades of Gulnare, Medora, Haidee, And each renowed Byronic lady. Pity your fellow-surfering creature, The reverend Mrs. Stowe, nee Beecher ! Open your ranks to give a place To her, the saintliest of your race. Alas ! the "Sunny Memories Of Sunny Lands" beyondie seas Have had a shadow o'er them cast By Harriet's late work-not her last. Behind this cloud there si ill ls shining, Greenback, or gold, or silver lining, And this consoles when reputation l3#,tatned all o'er the wide creation; A book that sells, a public sold, Console lu greenbacks or In gold. So Mistress S. will still discuss Lord Byron, when it jjivs her thus ! Still will she teach the girls and boys The wickedness of numan joys; Will give them Illustrations ample Lord Byron still her best example Of all thc vices under heaven, And chiefly what Commandment Seven Forbids; for what the little creatures Must have expounded by the Beechers. When wearied with the wicked Lord, She'll call her brother, Henry Ward, And he will te? each little darlln' The story of Rlchardson-McFarland; . 1 There'll be some difference In the moral, But over this they will not quarrel; In paper, book, or magazine The business will pay, I ween; So on these themes there'll be some other Books by the lady or her brother. Happy the age that has for teachers Ot Its ingenious youth the Beechers. They give a special education Upon the conjugal relation; A They train the infant mind to see The meaulng of adultery; Dig np the dead to illustrate The miseries of thc married state; Yet, though not Mormons in polygamy, Comlort a dying wretch with bigamy. They think affinity elective Alone makes human love effect.ve ; But when the elector is a Byron, he Turns all their doctrine into irony; Him and his widow from the grave They drag their theories to save, And ruthless as the worst cf vandals, Hunt up thc nasties; of scandals, To teach In book and magazine The foulest of the crimes obscene. Th? business pays, for is'not Beecher More than before the great star preacher? Plymouth Church stock has risen this year, And all because the pastor dear Was brave and. bold enough to wed Adulterers at a dying bed. And Harriet, by '?er last sensation. Has famous grown throughout thc nation. Her recent works are so the rage She means to raise her price per page. But where's her honor, where her pride ? They died when Cady Byron died. She makes her noble'friend of old A theme for turning words to gold; Defying others, thinks lt brave To count her profits from a grave, - And press and people proudly spurns, While growing rich from funeral urns. But where's the man or where the woman, Whose heart is honest while 'tis human, That will not from the pages shrink That she again defiles with ink? Who can her older books receive And not o'ertier lost honor grieve ? And who can glyc Hie Works of Stowe As gifts, including in the row The "Story True" by her related, Or. "Lady Byron \ Indicated?" Who can excuse the foul narrrtor, Or vindicate the Vindicator? [Philadelphia Bulletin. THE STATE. The News In a Nutshell. Mr. Ernest Earle, of Anderson, died on Mon? day, aged 70. The machine and carpenter shop of Cline & Gibbes, was partlaHy burned on Tuesday. An incendiary did it. ^ There was a tournament at Kiugstrec on Thursday. The day passed'off pleasantly, with the exception of an unfortunate accident, whereby a negro by the name ol -Beson, I Hanna was run 'over and knocked speech? less by the Knight of the Forest, though unavoidably, and for some time lt was believed he was killed, but we are glad to state he is recovering. There was great confusion at this moment, and one gentle man from excitement had a severe flt. He was a stranger from the North, and says un? due excitement was the cause of his suffering. The Knight of Ivanhoe, S. H. Mouzon, was the successful competitor tortile flrstgjrize, silver cup and wreath. He crowned Miss Jannie HcClary, Queen of Love and Beauty. Knight of Desert, T. D. Brockinton, won the second ?rize, bridle and martingales. He chose Miss fellie Brockinton First Maid of Honor. Knight of Forest, P. B. Mouzon. Jr.. won the third Erize, pair of spurs. He chose Miss Lou rockinton, Second Maid ol Honor. Dr. J. S. Hnghson has been re-elected town clerk of Sumter. There was a storm of lightning in Sumter on Saturday. A green pine tre^ two anti a half | feet in* diameter, was struck, and pieces twenty-five feet long thrown a considerable distance. The store of Mr. Caldwell, in Sumter, was broken into on Tuesday evening. On Friday night the premises ol Mr. Boone ?"ere robbed of two bushels of corn, nearly a whole barrell of mackerel, some spoons, and three sets of | valuable table knives. The Rev. R. W. Meraminger has resigned the pastoral charge of St. Mark's Church, Winnsboro', on account of failing health. The Sumter News complains of the disturb? ance made in thc streets of the village by drunken negroes. Mr. G. A. Darling has .teen appointed assist? ant revenue assessor for thc Edgefield dis? trict, vice R. Realf, gone to parts unknown. Meningetis rages in Edgetleld. Within the past week there have been three deaths from it among thc whites, and a larger number still among thc negroes. The whites were young Pinckney Covar, and two interesting little boys of our esteemed friend, tho Rev. J. W. Barr. There have also been several deaths among black people of mature age, not caused by meningetis. EVENTS IN EDGE FI ELD. A correspondent of the Aurista Constitu? tionalist says: \ EDOEFIELD CouRTnonsE, January 17. ,JSd\tor of Constitutionalist-Davina the past ? week several very important cases have been tried iu our court. The wiil case of Huiik Mosely occupied two days. This was a second trial, as the case had been tried two years ago and sent back, on tlie ground of misdirection by thc judge. The testator had by his will cut off his wife and child. (except her dower.) and gave his property to a niece. His widow sought to set aside the will, on the ground that at tlie lime he made his will he was labor? ing under a morbid delusion on a certain sub? ject; but as no insanity had been proved, thc Jury sustained the validity of the will. .The case of Gricc vs. Mobtey, on an actiou of case, for enticing away thc laborers of th?plaiutiff in 1807. This was a novel case in our court, and being the first cause of the kiud, attracted unusual attention. The accu? sation was that four laborers were enticed away by the defendant. Thc jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff for $300. There was a similar action commenced herc, Attaway vs. Coleman, in 1808, but the defendant paid up tue dama? ges bet?re thc first term of thc court. A simi? lar case of Hankcrson vs. Foreman, and thc jury gave a verdict for $750. Hon. C. P. Leslie, laud commissioner and senator from Barnwell, undertook to have the verdict set aside at the February term in Barnwell, 1800. but ulled. Thc writer ot this was present, and heard Leslie upon thc constitutionality of thc verdict. He said if any such law existed, he should have it immediately repealed. All I have to say is, that if ono neighbor entices away the laborers of another, after tncy have made an agreement fdr a specified time, und gone to work, by offering them more than they are getting, they should bo hold accountable for damages, and be made to pay smart ami dam? ages besides; and thc thc good citizens will endorse all such verdicts. This enticing away of another's laborers has been a crying evil in this State during the past three years, and it is high ti"ne it should be stopped*. Also, the case of Lyles vs. Tully and Tucker, for dama? ges sustained by plaintiff in an action, vi et ar? ni i's, upon the person of plaintiff by defend? ants, in 1867. Verdict for plaintiff for $1500. Several other causes of minor importance were tried, principally for debt, during the week. His Honor Judge Orr has given universal satisfaction during the term, and our people can never forget his kind and obliging manner to every one that had dealings with him. Our regular term of court will convene here on tho first Monday in February. DETESTATION ZS CUBA. The Barning of thc Sugar Estates-The Mahogany Trade Interrupted-Pri? vate Advices to New York Merchants. The following extracts from the letters of Spanish merchants in Cienfuegos, dated the 5th instant, addrcscd to their consignees in New York City, go far to prove not only the utter inability of the Spanish general to protect estates within quite an easy distance of his headquarters, and connected therewith by railroad, but also seem to foreshadow the devastation which must sweep over the beau ful island of Cuba : Destruction continues. This week, part of thc fields of the following estates have been burned: Constantia Laberinto (of Camino,) 8equeito, La Rosa (of Ripalta,) America (of Florentino Jimenez,) and the Jacinto (of Eira;) and yesterday the cane of lag Recurso (of En teaz?) was on fire for four hours, so that everv dav disasters increase. To-day it is useless to think about getting mahogany, for thc rebellion hinders both fel? ling and carting, so that 1 cannot possibly exe? cute vour order. Almost all of the sngar coming in is un purged. so that the most of it is of very low grade. So far I have heard ol' no sale. Another correspondent writes : A day seldom passes in which some sugar estate is not either partially or entirely burned up. Lately fire has been set to quite a large number of estates. Among them thc Santa Elena, of Lomba; thc Estrella, of Medina; San Francisco, of Santos; Santa Rosa, of Rivalta; America, of Florentino Jimenez; Jarico, of John, his brother; La Vueltas, of Eusebio Jun? co; El Jaqua, of Cayetano Ramos; Pula, of Mar? ti; Ingenio Viejo, of Abren; Santa Isabel, ol Marsillan; thc estate of Malibran, and a num? ber of others whose names I do not remem? ber, besides a number of small farm houses aud cottages. As far as the strife is concerned, all I know is that it is still going on with more or less energy, as usual, although the papers say that every day numbers of insurgents come in and present themselves for pardon. I have not seen them. THE AFRICAN REPUBLIC. Tho American Colonization Society Annual Sleeting and Report-Thc Ein? igration to Liberia-Progress of thc Country-How the Immigrants Like it, Sic. Thc American Colonization Society held their fifty-third anniversary in Washington on Tuesday night, when addresses were delivered by Hon. John II. B. Latrobe, of Baltimore. Rev. John Hall, D. P., Rev. Noah H. Schenck, D. D., and Professor Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution. The annual report was adopted, which contains thc following: EXriDITION AND SETTLEMENT. Thc society's ship Golconda sailed last No? vember with one hundred und >i.\ty emigrants for Liberia. They were in the prime of life and mostly farmers. Twenty-six could read, and fifteen could read and write. Thirty-five were Baptists and eight Methodists. a?Wilh but a few exceptions they are lo locate on St. Paul's River, near the first falls or rapids inte? rior from Monrovia, thus helping to strengthen the communities already planted on the banks ot thal valuable stream, and at the same lime forming advanced links in a cnalu of settle? ments extending inland to the centre of Africa. Measures have been taken to have Hiern found two new settlements, to be known as Art long? ton and Brewerville, in honor of two of their and our enlightened and liberal friends. A larger company was expected and provided for, but oilers of higher wages and very active and earnest opposition to emigration prevent? ed. The society has given passage to and set? tled in Liberia 2394 persons during lite last four years. These were all seLf-moved. and were of the best class ol the colored popula? tion. APPLICATION'S FOR TIIK STRING. Requests for the opportunity of settlement In Liberia next spring liav"e been received from various parts of the country. They in? clude three companies, each said to be about two hundred strong, and residing at Windsor. Newborn, and Jamesville, North Carolina, and a parly of some three hundred in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. They have sought thc so? ciety, and are represented as worthy people, accustomed to agricultural and mechanical pursuits. Numbers of the people of color are desirous to be scat to their ancestral land to find a theatre of unembarrassed action, to serve God and save their brethren. And the American Colonization Society, recognizing the Divine call, works ou with increasing .faith in the ultimate success of its benevolent effort to construct a Christian African em? pire. PROGRESS tS LIBERIA. Communications from the republic report the building of better houses, the enlargement of plantations, and that sugar and codee farms are being opened-all signs of prosperity, se? curity and tranquillity are felt. The r?cent message ot President Payne states: "Our mer? cantile Interests have been prosecuted with great assiduity and success. 4,A Young Men's Christian Association" and "Thc Ministerial Prayer Association" have lately been organ? ized at Monrovia. The reviving and convert? ing Influence of thc Holy Spirit ILLS been large? ly felt in all the churches in some of the set? tlements. Several young men are mentioned as looking lorward to the gospel ministry, and two have been taken under thc Presbytery of West Africa, having this object In view. HOW TUE SETTLERS ARE PLEASED. Letters from citizens and new settlers of Li? beria state the general hearty satisfaction of the latter with the country, ami that they are better to do and happier titan they were in the United States. An emigrant from Mobile wrote: "My fa tully, consisting of a wife anti three children, accompanied me. We are all alive, well, and glad we caine to this home ot the black man. I have not lost one day's work because of sickness. My trade, that of a carpenter, brings me in a good support." RECEIPTS AND EXPENDITURES. The receipts of the society during the year 1SG9, including a balance of $1077 05. December 31, 1868, and $7142 42 from investments real? ized, were ?71.0S9 85; and the expenditures were $70.041 S4, leaving a balance in the trea? sury, December 31,18G?), of $1046 01. The ex? cess of expenditures over receipts during the last four years has been $70,823 87, whicli has been patti from funds on hand at the close of the war. The treasury is now nearly exhaust? ed, and the demands upon the society in the prosecution of its work cannot be met without increased contributions. LATEST COMMERCIAL NEWS. Exports.

J^TIWAN GUANOS, SOLUBLE MANURES. AND SULPHURIC A. C I DD) j * Manufactured at Charleston, S. C., under the direction of Dr. N. A. PRATT, Chemist, for the Sulphu? ric Acid and Superphosphate Company. SOLUBLE PHOSPHORIC ACID, in the form of SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF LIME, or DISSOLVED BONE PHOSPHATE, ls the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these are valuable In the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which ls In them. The immense deposits of Phosphatlc Guanos which were discovered In 1S07 In South Carolina, by Dr. PRATT, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of-Lime, which is made available as a Fertilizer b? being ground to powder, and reduced hy Sulphuric Acid to such a conditionnas to make its lnsolu ble phosphate soluble in water, and thus made capable of boin j taken up by growing plants. The Insoluble Phosphate found in any commercial Fertilizer is of Do more value to the plant than the original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required per acre, and consequently thc cheapest Fertilizer is that containing the highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate. Impressed with these troths, the Sulphuric Acid and Superphosphate Company have erected at Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers south of Baltimore, and arc able to offer to planters the highest percentage of Soluble Phosphate of Lime known in any market. . Their Fertilizers arc offered under two forms : 1. ETIWAN No. 1.-Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contain twenty-four per cent, of Dis? solved Bone Phosphate of Lime. $00 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash. 2. ETIWAN No. 2.-Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain twenty per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate, and one and a half to three per cent, of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of Pe? ruvian Guano to adapt lt to all Craps. $70 per ton; ten per cent, discount for cash. ? We also offer DISSOLVED BONE, of high grade, for planters or manufacturers who may desire to mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this ls the best and cheapest method for Manufac? turera to transport the Sulphuric'Acid contained m the mixture.
