SEWS OF TUE HAT. -Gold in New York, yesterday, closed stronger at I9*ial9& -Cotton closed heavy and declining; sales 1700 bales at 25c. -In Liverpool-yesterday cotton closed quiet: uplands ll VU Orleans ll .Vd: sales 10,000 bales. -A bill has been proposed, which will be sub? mitted to the English Parliament, making the in? terest on consols payable quarterly. -The Ohio woman suffrage convention met at Columbus on Friday last, and concluded to peti? tion the Legislature for the right to vote. -The New York Herald of Saturday, speaking of stocks, says: "The old South Carolinas were steady and firm, but the new issues were weak and lower." -The Kansas Legislature wants Congress to settle speedily thc claim for damages sustained In that State from the raul of thc Confederate General Price, and also asks the same body to build a canal to couuect the Ohio and Janus Rivers. -The new specimen plate? for the forthcoming fifty cent note, to take the place of the last series of that denominaiian so quickly and suc? cessfully Imitated by three counterfeiters, will be ready to be submitted to the secretary of thc Treasury in a very short time. -Tho Chinese are becoming extensive purchas? ers ct real estate In San Francisco, where unim? proved real estate pays one per cent, a month on le ises to persons who desire to build. The sales of valuable property of this kind to Chinamen in Janur.ry amounted to $44,500. -Washington society, say the correspondents, ls soon to loose from its circles a fair devotee, a sister of Senor Romero, who is about to entera convent. Miss Romero is a lady of striking ap? pearance, about nineteen years of age, and adds to her many other accomplishments that or being a rare musician. -Thc abuse to which the working girls of New York are subjected at the hands of their employ? ers have Anally caused an effort to be made to organize this class of operatives into a protective boJy, so that when once the scale of prices is se? cured, the girls may be enabled, through their union, to hold lt. This would at least be a strike that would enlist the sympathy or everybody ex? cept the grasping employers. -A number of gentlemen in Missouri have sub? scribed over ten thousand dollars to raise a fund for the endowment of a chair in Washington CoUege, Virginia, to be called the Missouri Pro? fessorship of AppUed Chemistry. Brevet Major General William S. Hamey, United States army, St. Louis, Missouri, has subscribed $1000 for the - endowment of the presidential chair (General R. E. Lee's) of Washington College. -lt is stated that under -'the name, style and title" of Woodhull, Clan n & Co., the female brokers In New York are getting to be quito popu? lar. A large number of bankers and brokers offer them encouragement and support In their contemplated business. Quite a number of car? riages with ladles roll up to their office, wishing to make deposits of money, give orders for buy? ing and selUng stocks, and to transact business in gold and bonds to a large amount; and, ir this g?nerons sympathy and good-will increase, the ladies, or those who arc spoken of as standing in the background, will make a good thing of it, and the Omi be established as a fixed and perma? nent Institution. -A dispatch from Fortress Monroe gives a de tilled account of recent experiments, authorized tyr the government at Washington, with a newly Invented projectile that promises to perform won? ders in thc way of knock'ng things to pieces at long range. It is a cannon ball within a cannon ball. When the big ball has accomplished Its al? lotted distance, lt fires ou thc smaller ball, which attains a greater degree of velocity than had been obtained by thc big ball-that is "goes it faster than its parent." As the experiments jost made are regarded as successful by the gun? ners at the Fortress, there seems no reason why the principal of the invention should not bc ex? tended without limit-?ct infinitum. Then ia the event of war with a foreign nation-China, for Instance-our gunners at Fortress Monroe would only have to get true range in order to batter down the great gates of Pekin. -Mr. J. C. Derby, in former years a prominent pubUsher at New York, has established in Au? gusta a new Southern enterprise iu thc book linc. Some time ago, Mr. Derby purchased an exten? sive fruit farm near Aiken, and has determined to make lt his permanent residence. Having ample leisure and means, he proposes, not only to furnish pabulum for the body, but also nour? ishment for the min<:. To effect the latter pur? pose, he will inaugurate n book agency, on thesub . scriptum plan, a system which has grown Into such magnitude or late years. Mr. Derby's pres? ent Held or labor comprises the States of Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. Through this terri? tory he will spread agents for thc sale or many really valuable works, over which he has exclu? sive control. Mr. Derby, though a Northern gen? tleman, ls such a one as we are heartily glad to ?welcome in our midst. Would wc had thoasands more like him. -J. W. Alvord, the general superintendent or the Freedmen's Bureau, has written a letter on the condition of the freedmen la South Carolina, In which he says: "The older colored people of ?Columbia and surrounding country aie unusually intelligent and prosperous, one man, a skilful me? chanic, being worth $50,000. More than furry heads of families have, within the past six months, purchased city property for homes at from $700 to $1:00 cac'.i. It is the testimony or well-informed gentlemen that thc whole co'ored population of upper South Carolina ls, lu gene? ral, In a thriving condition, with better houses, . clothing and family comforts from year to year. Mae State appropriated $20,000 last year to buy land for homesteads for the freedmen, and up. wards of 40,000 acres of this land have been sold .to them during thc year. Thc Covcrnor will re? commend an appropriation or $400,000 this year for the same purpose." -The last ceremonies over the remains of the illustrious nhilanthroplst were performed on Tuesday last v. thc village in Massachusetts which bears his name. The fuueral was attended by between SOO0 and 10,000 people, Including many distinguished persons, and the order of ex? ercises, substantially ns arranged, were carried out, despite the severe snow-storm that prevailed throughout the entire ceremonies. Prince Arthu and suite occupied a position in the procession immediately following the relatives or the dc ceased, succeeded by Minister Thornton, Engllsl and American naval ofllcers, State and city oin cials. Mr. Robert C. Winthrop. LL. 1)., then de livered an eulogy, which was remarkably iuter cstiug oud impressive.

Dreary truitcing and driving tttrougl two miles or snow brough: the hearse to the rem porary tomb in which the body is to repose. Hore iu view of the distinguished visitors, the remain of ttcorge Peabody were committed to their Sin dred earth. _ Thc General Election Law. We print to-day an abstract of the "Gen -eral Election law" now before thc Genera Assembly. A careful perusal of its provi sions shows that il makes dangerous and un justifiable chances in existing laws, and tha its whole tendency is to prevent the whit and colored voters from enjoying with free dom tlie rights guaranteed to them by th Constitution of the State. This bill shoul be thoroughly and deliberately discussed. The Proposed Postal Telegraph. The actual assumption by the British Gov ernmcnt of Hie control of the telegraph linc throughout the I'niied King domhas terribl alarmed tho management of that giant mc nopoly, the Vt e?tcrn Union Company, le; Congress should imitate thc policy of Pal Hument in thi- respect. A powerful lobby 1 now at work nt Washington to prevent sue a result. The main, and we may say til only, objection urged against the propose postal telegraph is that it is impracticable When this subject was up once before, som three years agi, tho Western Union Com pany crushed it in committee by ex pari testimony. Such a result cannot be cy poded now, for members are bettor informe on the subject, and it is probable that th impractical measures for a postal telegrapl inch as purchase of wires by government dec., will all be abandoned, and if any bil pass, it will be one looking to letting out th contract for transmitting postal telegrap messages at low rates to the company tha shall make the lowest bid, after the manne of contracting for carrying Hie mails. Tc wards sudi a scheme thc disposition of th majority in Congress seems decidedly fa . vorable. Reviews. WHAT rs Jurursji? or A Few Words to titi .lews. By Rev. Raphael D'C. Lewin. Nev York: D. Appleton & Co. 1ST0. diaries ton : John Russell. .Mr. Lewin gives a brief, clear and iuiprcs sive . statement of the reform moveineni among the Jews, of which lie is a cultiva? ted and zealous advocate. His views an rationalistic, thoroughly. Ne holds that Judaism is ti spiritual and immortal idea, which was originally given m consideration of human infirmity, in a temporary, ceremo? nial investiture. It is not so much the pro? duct of Revelation, as Hie yearning of thc soul for God. Hence its existence is inde? pendent of all its forms. These have been modified Ly local circumstances. Ere long the most of them, the ancient rite of circum? cision not excepted, will fall into desuetude. But the Jew will exercise, in this event, a still more potent influence as the anointed teacher of the nations. Hence Hie author regards the dispersion of his people as a blessing to them and to mankind. Mr. Lewin's positions will provoke discus? sion, nnd will be warmly assailed by many of his co-religionists, for in many important particulars he protests against Hie Judaism of tradition. Thus he denies the plenary inspiration of Scripture, the divine institu? tion of sacrifice, and the authority of any ancient precept which cannot secure the assent of modern "reasou." Ile repudiates the belief in the restoration of Israel to the land of their fathers, and Hie theory that the Redeemer will come to Zion. Except in the limited use of Heb.'cw in worship and tin.' observance vf Hie great feasts of his people, there is little to distinguish the ecclesiastical polity of our author from that of the extreme left of the Unitarian party. But whether it is a just repr?sentation of historic Judaism, may admit of question. TUE WKSTjsnxsTKn RKVIEW* For January, 1S7U, ison our table, with the following list of articles: 1. Our Coloiliid Empire. 2. Latid Tenures and their Cons?? quences. 3. The Subjection ol* Women, (a highly eulogistic review of Mr. Mill's Look.) .i. The Irish Laud Question. 5. Prostitu? tion-Governmental Experiments in Con? trolling it. ii. Our Policy in China. 7. Amer? ican Claims on England. S. Contemporary Literature. Even those who differ most widely from the Westminster are forced to admit ?ls vigor and critical ability. Its quar? terly review of current literature is polished, epigrammatic and withal thoughtful and just to an extraordinary degree. BLACKWOOD** MAGAZINE For January, is an interesting number. Thc two serial stories, "Earl's Dene"' and "John," are continued. The most sugges? tive papers in the number are those on "Lord "Lytton's Comedy, "Mr. Fronde and Queen "Mary," and "Lord Byron and h's Calumni "niators." Blackicootfs pol?t ?cal sympathies make it lind in Lord Lytton's rhymed come? dy of "Walpole" merits which neither its an? alysis of the plot nor the extracts il makes from thc play, appear to justify. We rather fancy that "Walpole" must be held, as Beau Brammers valet said of his master's cravat, to bc one of Loni Lytton's failures. The article on "Mr. Fronde and Queen Mary," is an able and indignant protest against what the critic considers the heartless treatment by Mr. Fronde of the falsest woman and the profoundest actress of the sixteenth, or per? haps of any century. lu spite of the re? viewer, wc think Mr. Fronde has the best of the argument. The duty of the historian is to truth, not to sentiment; and the oft mis? quoted maxim "Demortui*" &c, is never more out of place than in ti grave historical discussion. Posterity will be likely to accept Mr. Froude's verdict on the Scottish Queen, Maga to Hu.- contrary notwithstanding. The closing article on thc Byron contro? versy is a more than usually convincing re? ply to Mrs. Stowe's prurient romances. HULMUOI.D, the great medicine man nf New York, occupied an entire pago of the Hun with his announcements. At the published rutes of that paper, this little one day's demonstration cost him exactly Si;:;u-a greater sum than some sleepy old fogy business men think ur j spending for making their business known in twenty years' lime. But it pays. From a poor mun ti short time ago. iiciinbold is nuw a mil- ;1 lionalre; and all from advertising. Pittsburg and Charleston. We notice that a bill i3 now pending in he Pennsylvania Legislature in favor of the Pittsburg, Virginia and Charleston Railroad Company. The projwsed road is looked, ipon with great interest in Pittsburg as a natter of vital importance to the western section of Pennsylvania. The route to he followed is from Pittsburg due south to Fair? mont, on the Baltimore- and Ohio Road -r thence still due south through West Vir? ginia to Christiausburg. on the Virginia and Tennessee Road, and near to the North Carolina line, touching at White Sulphas Springs on the way. From Christiansburg a. connection is needed to Greensboro', on the Richmond and Danville P.oad, to enable a connection with Charleston. This, it ts claimed, will give Pittsburg an air-line con? nection with tlie whole network of Southern railroads, and will create a market for her manufacture? that cannot fail to clip a little from the supremacy that Cincinnati contem? plates in her Southern Road. The construc? tion of two hundred aud eighty miles will accomplish all that is necessay. Thc Workingmen Abroad. _ ?. Our latest English files bring us a some? what remarkable address which has just been issued by an organization known as '-Tly? "Land and Labor League." tu the men and women of Great Britain and Irelnd, set? ting forth thc present condition of the work? ing classes, and the unsatisfactory effect of tho course of legislation for thc last thirty years in removing fiscal restrictions, and closing with the assertion that the moral foundation of ail civil government is that the welfare of the entire community is thc highest law. and ought to be the aim and end of all legislation. The Land and Labor League is a political organization of work? ingmen, with an executive council of forty, composed of the most prominent members of the ditrerent trades. This executive coun? cil has drawn up a platform of principles lo serve a3 a programme of agitation, by means of which a radical change can be effected. This platform contains nine articles, as fol? lows : First. Nationalization of the land. Second. Home colonization. Third. Na? tional, secular, gratuitous and compulsory education. Fourth. Suppression of private banks of issue: paper money to be issued only by the government Fifth. A direct and progressive property tax in lieu of all otlrer taxes. Sixth. Liquidation of lite national debt. Seventh. Abolition of the standing army. Eighth. Reduction of the hours of labor. Ninth. Equal electoral rights willi the payment of salaries to members of Par? liament. These principles, to-say the least, embody Hie most advanced doctrines which have yet been put, forth by the champions of labor in the Old World. THE English conn- have recently decided that a newspaper bus a copyright in every word and letter of every original article con? tained in Its pages; that no other person has a right to reprint them without permission: and that a copy is not legalized even by acknowl? edging ?ls source. _80 Rent.

We would Invite the attention of Planters to thc consideration of some of thc advantages In the cultivation of SORGO as a Crop, which are, the small amount of labor; the hardy character of thc plant in Its ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; Its freedom from the attack of w -ms; Its early maturing, and thc fact that the eed and every part of the plant is of great value. In consequence o. the Imperfect method hitherto adopted In preparing the Juice of this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, and the belief that Sugar could not be produced, but only a very Inferior Syrup. But, by the discovery of the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed lu the minds of all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups of the Refineries, is pro iluccd, but also Sugar equal to thc best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make it without doubt, thc most prollrahlc crop that eau bc plant? ed. Of these facts abundant evidence can be shown. Any information on this subject can be obtain? ed hy applying to Mr. P. G. CART, Charleston, S. C., who has been appointed our authorized Agent, and who will be prepared to furnish pure Imphcc Seed and Machinery. Or to ourselves at Greenville, S. C. PASSMORE k WILHELM, Greenville, S. C.
