"'The State agent of South Carolina advertises 1 .in another column that he will pay thc April interest on the new bonds In coin at ids office ' in this city. Under a recent law authorizing ' ' a sinking fund about a million dollars of the ..State debt will be redeemed this year, the l State treasurer having at his disposal for that i purpose $2,754,000 of various railway securities ( and one or two millions' worth of real estate. | located principally in the City of Charleston." -The Boston Journal says: "General But? ler has appointed to the cadctship of the Essex District at Weslpoint, vacated by desertion, a young man named Charles Sumner Wilson, of ] Salem, the son of Thomas C. Wilson, a private Boldler, who died in the service of the United i ..States. His widowed mother resides in Salem, \ where she has given him an excellent educa- j tion in the public schools, and he is said to be ? well qualified for the appointment. It will be observed that he bears the names of the two senators from Massachusetts, and his com? plexion is the same as that of the senator from v Mississippi." -Ex-Governor Letcher, of Virginia, has published a statement respecting the proposed monument to Stonewall Jackson, saying $50, ?000 ls needed, and that no local or sectional -views restrict the scheme-that it is national In its design and the North has cordially re? sponded to the appeal, and the East and the West are moving. It ls proposed to erect a memorial chapel at the Virginia Military Inst!, tute in Lexington, and, should the funds col? lected permit, a statue in bronze or marble, "to transmit to coming generations the features, form and expression of one whose name and 11 virtues are alike Unown and honored through out the civilized world, and who was a bright exemplar of whatever was true and noble, and of good report among men." -Religious organs in Paris have advices from Rome which represent that the Pope, in response to a request of a great majority of the bishops, has distributed among tho mem? bers of the Council a scheme proposing defini? tion of the dogma of infallibility, with a notice thal the suggestions of the fathers on the same will be received until thc 7th instant. Dis? patches from other sources add to this inwl.: "ence that, in consequence of the Introduc? tion of this scheme, thc French Government has made a demand on the Papal Court that a special envoy of France bc permitted to assist at the Council; also, that Cardinal Antonelli has acknowledged the receipt or thc demand, and promised to answer it in a few days. The ultramontane journal, Le Monde, states posi? tively that thc Pope has required thc (Ecu? menical Council to flx upon a definition of per? sonal infallibility within a we jk. The Prop of the Nation. There is a good and a bad side to almost every question. Had the South been the possessor of a myriad mills and factories, for the enemy to burn and destroy; had her plains been dotted with smiling villages, for the invader to lay waste; had her people en? joyed thc gauds and pomp3 which a raider may spoil and bear away, the recovery of the South, t from the losses and excesses of war must have been slow and insecure. But thc wealth of the South was in lier lands and lier labor. The barns might be burned, the gin-houses might be destroyed, the slave of yesterday might become the freeman of the morrow; but so long as the soil was left and the labor was left, together with courage and patience to eke out the want of cash re? sources, the South could still rise from the dusts of war, and show, in the rapidity of her new birth, a power and strength which, even to her own people, were a revelation and a prophecy. The agricultural bent of Southern industry, which was their chief weakness in war, enabled the Southern people to gather up force and energy with unexampled rapidity. This is now admitted by the most sagacious of Northern politicians and Northern jour? nalists, and when a paper like the Boston Post speaks of the cotton crop as the "com "mercial support and savior" of the Union, we'may feel that we have fought the good fight and soon shall possess the wages of success. The Boston Post says: "Last year's cotton crop is estimated by in? telligent and careful statisticians to be three ! million bales. At twenty-five cents per pound, M|is equal to a crop ot six million bales before xhe war. Its entire value, allowing four hun? dred and sixty pounds to the bale, ls three hundred and forty-five millions of dollars. All this is hard cash, earned by the single product of a single section in a single seasou. On such a basis, with even a fair series of good seasons, that section would outstrip every other in the rapid accumulation of wealth. Of these three million bales, it is allowed that two millions one hundred thousand are for export,-yielding the sum ol $241,500,000 in gold. Half of this has been shipped abroad between the last of September and the last of February, leaving thc other half, which is equal in money to over one hundred and twenty-one millions ot' dol? lars, to be exported between this and Septem? ber. That is to sa}', cotton will supply us in our loreign trade, for the next six mouths, that amount of coin with which to regulate our balances. It is considered preferable to coln because it is a leading staple of the world's commerce." This is the secret of the unexpected sta? bility of the national credit, and of the de? cline in the premium on gold. Cotton has enabled U3 to command all thc foreign goods which were required. The constant pres? ence of American cotton upon the European market sustained the general credit, and now an expected increase in the crop of 1870 strengthens the downward tendency and makes the situation especially hopeful. The Post says : "We touch bottom again, in matters of trade and finance, as soon as we come to a lull crop of colton. That has twice proved itself our commercial support and savior. Intelligent merchants and the more comprehensive minds among our public men so understand it. Strange as it appears to dispassionate eyes, the Congress that has been doing its best to cripple, confuse and obstruct ail healthy finan? cial operations, by its jargon of phrases, its medley of schemes, and its plots ol'personal and partisan profit, is Hie very same Congress that has been revengefully bent on keeping the cotton-producing States in a condition ot servile degradation, on repressing every at? tempt of their property-holding citizens to es? tablish order and a well-regulated industrial system, and on driving away capital trom their valuable fields by destroying the growth ol' confidence and trust. The object was nothing less than the absolute degradation of the peo? ple that give those States all the character and mporlancc which they ever enjoyed. Mr. sumner publicly announced that thirty years, ! :he term of a generation, was none too long .o keep them suppliants, dependants and ser? rants outside thc Union. His statesmanship J must have borrowed the eyes of the mole when lt inspired such an anathema on an entire sec- , Lion of the couutry. ft did not reckon on thc , vast productive capacity of their favored soil j ind climate, and the great staple which they j done can supply for the resuscitation ol our } jommerco. It lorgot to allow for those press ng necessities in the national finances, for .vhose instant alleviation we should be com? pelled to turn to the South as we had done jeforc." This is no exaggerated statement. All ? .hat the United States lind, as the basis of - lutioual credit, was thc crop of the South, "otton and sugar, rice and tobacco, were all- I powerful in thc marts of Europe. Plymouth ; Rock was a drug in the market, and there ,vas no sufficient demand for the grain of the ! Western fields, or the provisions of Porkop- ; )lis. At any moment, the tide might tum j md five-twenties by the bag full be thrown , ?pon a decliDing market. But King Cotton vas too strong for war and for peace, for < political agitation aud gossip of repudiation. | V. country, one of whose crops had a specie 1 .alue for export of over two hundred mil- 1 ions, could not be bankrupt and lost, but 1 vhile Europe relied on the cotton bale and ogar hogshead, Congress did its best lo cut ts own throat and ours. I Thc loss of political hope but turned the , Jouth the more to hard and honest work, ] md now thc whole Union depends for its i ufety, for its stability, for its commercial xistencc, upon the despised and abused - kates of Hie South. Ours is the strength md the force and the money power. With- , ?ut the cotton and Hie sugar ami tobacco of I hese Southern States, the North ;:nlWest , ire nothing. Without the North and West, 1 he South is stronger t?iau nov,-. Ibis is our revenge. The South, "which was kicked and cuffed till lips grew pale and hearts were weary, now holds the balance of financial and political power. And this is certain. The South will use that power more generously and in a broader spirit than thc "mighty North," the conque? ror, has ever felt or known. ?Wicked Ben." Somebody suggests that Brother Whitte more, in view of the discreditable transac? tions in which he has lately been caught, be dubbed "Wicked Ben." That the soubriquet is appropriate in itself no one will be dis? posed to deny; but, in common justice to the respectable and intelligent porker who, though he habitually exhibits preter-pig-like acumen in playing seven-up, has never yet been accused of stocking the cards or of turning up a too frequent Jack, we must pro? test against such an application of a name to which he enjoys a prior claim. The Tumble in Price?. The action of Stewart and Claflin, the kings of thc New York dry goods tracie, in bowing to the approach of specie payments by a prompt and general reduction of prices, is but thc forerunner of what must speedily follow, in the case of dealers, big and little, in all kinds of commodities, all over the country. But the movement which, at the North, must bring many to grief, will, in the South, hardly have any more serious result thau to lop off the excess of profit. And the masses of the people, North and South, will alike hail with joy the change which is to m?ke living cheaper, and to give to their greenbacks the purchasing power of hard money. OCR Columbia correspondent is inclined to fear that the second movement to com? plete the famous canal is all a sham. Sena? tor Sprague deals more in promise than per? formance so far, but we hope for & favorable change. _____ Current Literature. ASEAROS KASSIS. THE COPT. By Edwin DeLeon. We are indebted to our friend and quondam countryman, Mr. Edwin DcLeon, for a very exciting and agreeable novel with the above title. The object oi the book seems to be a lively presentation of life, manners and customs of the Orient, in which he has, in thc main, well succeeded. "The Copi" is crammed with incident, enough, indeed, to furnish forth many volumes such as our numerous and practiced writers produce daily for our amusement. This re? dundancy, while it may detract from his skill as an artist, ls yet a praise- to tho felicity of his imagination. Many of us have not enjoyed Mr. DeLeon's privilege of seeing and knowing the Moslem at home in thc varied phases of his luxurious repose, his action if fitful, fatal, and oft-'?mes to our Christian idea, demoniac. But we have had capital authors, who have given us pic? tures of "This land where all things always seem thc same" since the days of Haroun al Raschid. Every? body reads yet Lady Mary Montague's letters; few persons can forget Anastasius, Eothen, Warburtons Crescent and the Cross, Kingsley's Hytatia, or Curson's Monasteries of thc Le? vant-pronounced by Ruskin the most delight ful book of travels extant. We admit that we have gained somewhat of knowledge from "The Copt" in Eastern manners. Monsieur de Lesseps, with his Suez Canal triumph, making old Egypt thc thoroughfare of modern Europe, bids lair to change in many things this aspect of ever recurring "Arabian Nights," which meets us at all points in books now written. We see already In "Aboul's Fel? lah" the progress of European civilization, in the amelioration of the condition of lils class. And the "Fellah" of Monsieur Abouts fancy ls outstript in thc race of modern progress by our Copt, who drives in Cairo his Knicker? bocker wife In a New York trotting wagon; Mr. Kassis docs not escape the pang, ?us of old, (when father Abraham for thc nonce prayed his wife to pass for his sister,) he meets the lurid eye of the Basha fixed in unholy admira? tion npon thc unveiled beauty. The expedient now lo escape this danger ls simple-they have only to take a steamer for Marseilles. They are too slow, and we have the old story of ab? duction, Ac, well told. Graphic and strong are his descriptions oP: those contests between birds, animals and men. Witness the hawk and the dove, the wild dogs, the crocodile and the Syrian. The cobra scene we find a trifle too melodramatic. We commend this book on thc whole, but we do not like Mr. DeLeon's hero; neither do we affect his heroine very much. It smacks too much of the ill-fated, Ill-mated Othello and Desdemona, and wc agree with our prime fa? vorite, Miss Priscilla Primmins, the English? man was a "oon parti" too good to be thrown over for the gorgeously arrayed Copt. We do not understand why he combined thu baro? netcy and peerage in his own person, however. Sir Charles says clever things apropos of the female suffrage question. La carri?re ouverte lux talcns (et aux femmes.) We have a good laugh with the donkey boys; and we compare the "Fellah's" dinner given to bis English lady love, with our "Copt's" diner a la T\irque, like? wise given to his, and we find most to admire in the latter, with its rare ruby, the device of the dove and amulets, Ac. Both, of course, beginning with thc inevitable lamb Btuffed with Pistachio nuts. We have marked for favorable notice the portraiture of the aged Copt; the venerable Jew, an Israelite of thc ancient and highest type; thc Sheik, that honest son of thc desert, joodand patriarchal, but who cannot resist when tempted-stealing a One horse. Space falls us to cite one half of the good things we hoped to bring forward. We can? not altogether pass, however, the Princess Wezle, too like in n?mc and conduct lier French sisters ot the "Tour de Nesle." Lock and key seem insufficient to secure thc virtue of the veiled Egyptian. Arter all, as Lady Mary says, in her wide travels, "She had only met men md women." One thing strikes us-thc use now made of Mir most sacred associations. Mr. Trollope jives a Jolly picnic in the Valley of Jehosaphat, ind Mr. DeLcon sends his subordinate villain :o commit murder and be murdcrod, at the ?xact spot where little Moses was once hid in ;he bulrushes. This brings us to thc end, and ive have one fair fight,-no quarter asked or ?iven,-quite a relief after the stabbing In the jack, the treacheries, poisoned daggers and lrugged coffee. The Syrian.and the crocodile lave it out, and to our delight thc crocodile .vins. To be had at Russell's, King street. Soots, Srjoes, &c. rjHOES! SHOES!
