I saw yesterday a Frenchman who had come here to buy a steamer for use on the east coast ol Arnca through thc canal, and numberless such schemes are talked of. So rar as this country ls the native land of screw steamers, It looks well for as." -The failure of Howard, Cole Ss Co. is thc gen eral topic o? conversation in Baltimore. A meet? ing of tlie creditors was lield Monday afternoon to prove debts and choose assignees. The follow? ing is a Hst of the Arms losing heavily: Gist St Wells, $3S,000; Hurst, Parnell it Co., $13,000; Goodwin, Oliver * Co., $23,000;*G. A. Meyer, $50,000; M. H.

Thc total liabilities are set down at about $1,207,000. The Citizens' Party. The union of Democrats ami Conservative Republicans, now in discussion by nearly every paper in South Caroli'm. cannot be treated as a movement in any way connected with old political parties, or the vexed questions of the past. A Republican plat? form would defeat the movement, as certainly as a Democratic platform would hinder its peaceful progress. The general desire and purpose js, to band all good citizens together, that they may, by union and perseverance, extricate the State from the miro of oflicial uncleanness. And this desire cannot be re? alized if any of the old leaven bc retained, in what should be an altogether new combi? nation of the different members of the body politic, for the accomplishment of a specific aud well understood purpose. In the matter of working to secure to this State an honest and capable government, all true men, Avhatovcr their political creed, may counsel and labor without division and with? out any sacrifice of personal independence. No candidate Should be nominated or rejected because of his political standing. The stan? dard-bearers must be pure, upright, trust? worthy men, identified with the State, andgiv ing hostages to fortune by a lasting residence within our borders. This is all that need be demanded of the candidates: and candidates so chosen can be, and will be, supported by the industry and honesty and intelligence of the State. At tlie same time the life-long Democrat is not expected to dub himself a Republican, nor is a Republican expected to don the Demo'Tatic mantle. A common danger and a common hope shall join Democrat and Re? publican, white and black; but when thc State elections are over and the general good is secured, all men will be at liberty, as they arc now, to light in tlie future under what? ever banner may please aud suit them best. A Radical or Republican name or plat? form, for what is essentially a Citizens' Party, would compel tho opposition ol thousands of staunch workers, and could not command, with propriety, the support of the State press. On the other side, a Democratic name or platform would alienate the sympa? thies of a host of worthy Republicans whose interests and sentiments, in this instance, are ours, but who propose upon all national quCSliOJlS-tO JlCt find vote with tho ii^publi nnn nnrli Jtwrti-ttcirfgrra tilUSI TJCT^rrOrTTCTI the Scylla of Democracy no less than the Charybdis of Republicanism. Strength must be sought and retained wherever it can be found. And, without blowing hot and cold, without sacrificing principle or consistency, the good people of the State may so trim their sails, that the bark which bears our for? tunes may be wafted speedily and safely into the secure haven of prosperity and peace. Governor Scott and thc Militia. *'If the Democrats can beat ns fairly wc will submit; but we will not be driven from the State, as some propose. We from the North have come herc to stay, and intend to do so. If thc Democrats choose to practice their old tricks of murder and intimidation, tlie result wilt be terrible to them and to the State." These remarks show tlie bitter prejudice which tinges thc opinions of Governor Scott, when he speaks of the probable action of the white people, or, as ho calls thom, the De? mocracy of the State. Ile assumes, in thc conversation printed in another column, that it is natural for our people to burn, slay and destroj', although he is himself a living wit? ness of their patience and obedience to law; and it is to be feared that all his friendly professions only meau that a Radical game, in the style of tho traditional "Heads we "win, tails-you lose," is lo be played, with the help of the militia, at thc fall elections. The people, whatever Governor Scott may Hunk, demaud a fair, and free election. They are opposed to violence and intimidation by either party. And, if Governor Scott intends that the militia shall only preserve order, without regard to party, he eau easily prove his sincerity by appointing to it3 command responsible and trustworthy men, who enjoy the confidence and esteem of all classes of their fellow-citizens. The Tribune on Whittcmorc. The New York Tribune thus refers to the latest speculation or that specimen South Carolina Radical, thc Hunoruble Benjamin Franklin WhLtemore: '.it appears that atlast the Military Commit? tee of the House have discovered one Con? gressman who has been offering for sale a West Point cadetship. We grieve to say that he represents Hie State of South Carolina, ami that, not many years ago, he was a citizen of New York. It is io be hoped that he may be able lo disprove the disgraceful charge brought against him; but if the case is clearly made out, not a day should be lost in expelling him from the body which he has disgraced." THKV have a model magistrate named Find in Sumter. Tlie Xcws says that he positively refused to give judgment upon a note of hand for $50, which the defendant in open court ad? mitted he still owed, on the sole ground thai thc defendant declared his inability tn pay it then. The defendant wa? required by Find to swear that he would pay thc note, "i/lie ever "could." Ile readily took (he oath, with an emphatic "</." But fae negro magistrate re? fused to enter up judgment in thc case, though informed of his duty by en attorney at law, who happened to bc present. Thc Board or Fircmastors and tho Col? ored Fire Companies. The Board of Firemasters, in admitting the presidents of the colored fire companies, now a part of the lire department, to setvts in their body, did no more than the law com? pelled them to do. These colored companies arc thc oO. ial equals of the white compa? nies, and their presidents are entitled to the same official privileges. The law which puts the colored man in the jury box, which sends him to the polls as a voter, and which makes him eligible to a seat on the supreme bench, or to any other office, high or low, gave these colored companies the right fo official rep? resentation in the Board of Firemasters. This, wc admit, could have been denied them by tbs -board. But resistance would have been utterly useless. The law and the pub? lic justice of the case are clear and unmis? takable, and in their official conduct the Board of Firemasters cannot afford to be controlled by the sentiment of the individual. We believe that the maintenance of the fire department is absolutely necessary to the saiety and protection of tho city. If the white companies be brokcu up or dis? banded, we fall back upon the colored com? panies only, or have recourse to a paid de? partment. What a paid department would be, with the appointing power lying in the hands of our Honorable City Council, it is not hard to soe. Aud this disbanding, or breaking up, of the white volunteer tire com? panies is avoided by the sensible and neces? sary action taken by the Board of Firemas? ters on Wednesday night lust. There may be some excellent men who will decline to sit at the same officiai table with colored men. To bc consistent they must refuse to vote, and must refuse to serve as jurors. They can extricate themselves from tlie present dilemma by resigning their official positions ; but ?is long as they retain them, they must give to the colored man all the official rights which the law gives him. And if any determine to resign, we trust that their places may be filled with such as will be ready, despite a natural repugnance, to treat the whole question as one of public right, and not of private feeling. If the white fire companies of Charleston are worth having or saving, this must bo doue. MR. RODEHT Towra lias 6old his interest in the Oconee Courier to Messrs. Keith, Hoyt & Co., who will hereafter publish the paper. Colonel Kuith will continue to edit the Courier, which* "will more than ever be "devoted to building up thc waste places of "the country; fostering the growing incli? nation to engago in manufactures; the "adoption of an improved system of educa "tion; the improvement of agriculture upon "the basis of science, and the application of "machinery and manures adapted to its per? manent success; and thc development of a "healthy sentiment in the social, moral and "religious world."

Wc would Invite thc attention ot Planters to thc consideration or some of the advantages In the cultivation or SORGO as a Crop, which are, the small amount or labor; the hardy character or thc plant in its ability to endure, without ma? terial injury, both drought and wet; Its freedom from thc attack or worms; its early maturlne, and t hc ract that the Seed and every part or the plant ls or great value. In consequence o. thc inipcrfoct method hitherto adopted in preparing the Juice or this Cane, there has arisen a prejudice, nnd thc belier that Sugar could not bc produced, but only a very Inferior Syrup. But, by thc discovery or the Southern Process, these opinions have been com? pletely reversed in the minds or all those who have examined and tested this Process, as they realize that not only pure Syrup, superior to the best Chemical Syrups or thc Refineries, ls pro? duced, but also Sugar equal to thc best New Or? leans, in such quantity, as to make lt without doubt, thc most profitable crop that can be plant cil.
