It also desires to employ agents and colporteurs in every county. -The Paris correspondent o? the Daily Tele? graph ls authorized to contradict the report that France hos proposed to the other great military Powers a general disarmament. "France has made no proposal for the reduc? tion of tho militan- force, and ls not Ukely to do so after Count Bismarck's speech. The reduction of the military contingent lately made known, means simply that a certain proportion or men have been sent on furlough. Desirable as it may be to lessen the taxation caused by a large army establishment, this ls not the moment for making any reduction." -The illuminating power of gas, it is as? serted, depends upon the temperature of thc air In which It is burned. Taking the amount ol lighl emitted at 65 degrees Fahrenheit as the standard of 100 parts, it has been nscer ininc J that the illuminating power of gas at 3C .degreei'ls only 32, or one-third of what it is at .65 degrees. Increased heat, however, ls not attendedby a corresponding increase of light, for the illuminating power at 212 degrees is ?only lOl.and at 320 degrees only 118. The condensation of the hydro-carbon vapors, through the effect of cold, is supposed to be the cause of the loss of light. -A geming paper exults in the excitement .caused^ thy female jury in that Territory.

Leland met Wilkes on Broadway last evening, and demanded an explanation, which was re? fused. Leland then raised a heavy cane and struck Wilkes a number of heavy blows. Wilkes ran into a store and closed the door: Leland followed, pushed open thc door and flogged the editor. There was great excite? ment on thc street, and Leland was arrested, but Wilkes refused to make charges against him. -Miss Bella W. Moore's suit for slander in New York against Mr. John S. Bonnell hints at curious possibilities of doubt in thc most commonly accepte:! facts of daily life. The jury in the case reported that they could not agree, and were discharged. Bonnell asserts that he is a married man; that he led to the altar Miss Della W. Moore on thc 26th of No? vember, 1861; that the ceremony was per? formed by the late Dr. Mcclintock; and, singu? larly enough, the record of St. Paul's Method? ist Episcopal Church confirms this impression, and makes it plain that it was not all n hideous dream. But MiS3 Moore swears as positively that she is no such person as Mrs. Bonnell; that she was never married and that the assertion of the baleful Bonnell, to that ef? fect is purely preposterous. Thc officiating clergyman is not living to settle thc difficulty. Who will now determine the status of the parties ?_ The Popular Vote. The following table, prepared by our Col? umbia correspondent, shows the exact con? dition of the diff?rent counties in regard to the white and colored vote, and, also, the number of representatives allowed each county. It will be uoted that in eleven counties there are white majorities ranging from 20 in Lancaster, to 1977 ia Spartan burg, aud that in twenty counties there are colored majorities ranging from 2 iu Marl? boro', to 8002 in Charleston : Spartanburg. 3,231 1.254 1,077 . 4 Greenville. 2,879 1,377 1,602 . 4 Anderson. 2,853 1,492 1,181 . 3 Oconee. 1,562 410' 1,133. 2 Hckens. 1.455 421 1,034 . 1 Horrv. 1,386 555 831 . 2 Lexington. l,6t?8 ?67| 831. 2 Ch esr er Held. 1,300 804 496 . 2 Marion. 2,114 1.868 246 . ?4 York. 2,335 2,109 228. 4 Lancaster. 1,010 990 20 . 2 Marlboro'. 1.115 1,117. 2 2 Onion.I 1.737] 1.919. 182 3 Laurens. 1,059; 2,211 . 252 4 Kershaw. 821 1,495 . 62" 3 Darlington. 2,028 2.743;.I 715 4 Williamsburg. 1,125 1,998:.

Our Shipping Interest. Secretary Boutwell lately submitted to Congress a very interesting report as to the ;ause of the reduction of American ton ?age, by Mr. Joseph Nimmo, Jr., chief of | he tonnage division of thc Treasury De. >artment. Mr. Nimmo undertakes to show hat the vigorous growth of American ship ling in the early part of the present century ras largely owing to European wars. Eng ish and French vessels being in constant langer of capture, we began not only to ontrol our own foreign trade, but became o a great extent carriers for the nations of I Jurope. From that time there was au in reasing period of prosperity, which culnii lated in 1S55, at which time it wa3 estimated hat the marine tonnage of the world was livided about as follows: The United States ne-third, England one-third, and all other | mtions combined one-third. In 1SG1, the jrtunes of war proved as disastrous to our laritimo interests as they had been propi ious in the early history of the country, lince 1S51, the tonnage of the United States, vhicb had reached about live and a half mil? tons, has fallen otT to four millions three lundred thousand tons, and that of England las increased to seven millions three hun Ired thousand. Of tlie tonnage which we tiil possess, only about one-fourth is occu? red in the foreign trade, and even that ihielly in tlie work of supplying Europe with juano. The reasons for this extraordinary lecline cannot be confined entirely to "the 'fortunes of war," as mentioned in thc re? tort. The causes assigned before a select coin nittee of Congress which has been coUect ng information on the subject were various, lie principal ones being the gradual revolu iou that has been effected in ships, from he wooden sailing vessel anti side-wheel steamer to the iron sailing vessel and screw steamer-a revolution in which wo took no part, preferring to cling to thc sailing vessel uid the wooden side-wheel steamer; the preference in freights and insurances given :o the iron vessels over the wooden ones ; ;he difference in the cost to the English merchant of bis vessel and that of his to ;he American merchant; the high duties laid on materials entering into the construc :ion of American ships, which materials are ree of duty in England; the advantage which the English have over us in getting ill their ships' stores out of bond free of luty; the difference in the rates of wages; ;lie disadvantage under which our depre? cated currency placed us; last, but not least, :he generally prejudicial effect of our high protective tariff; one of the principal causes in the decay in our commerce, and of the increased cost of living, making necessary liigher wages, and putting our shipbuilders and shipowners at a disadvantage as against their foreign rivals, complicated also with tvhich is tlie question of currency. Mr. Low, one of the most enterprising shipowners and merchants, stated before the Congress committee: "It ts easier to ex "plain the causes of our decline than to sug? gest a remedy." Still various remedies have been suggested, among which are the removal of all legislative restrictions on the purchase of foreign ships, and on their ad? mission to American registry, and the allow? ance uf a drawback ot" duties on all mate? rials entering into the construction, and out? fit and maintenance of ships. Thc ship? owners, as a class, are said to be in favor of both these propositions, and al-o of govern? ment subsidies to steamship lines, while the shipbuilders are bitterly oj'posid to what i; termed Tree trade in sbip3, contending that it vfonld injure that interest, and drive ship mechanics out of the country or to other occupations, thus depriving the government of an indispensable class of artisans in case of war with a naval power. The shipown? ers, however, do not believe that. Even with Hie allowance of a drawback, the shipr builders of this country can compete witli those of England. A3 Mr. Wcstervclt, for? merly one of the greatest shipbuilders, stated before the committee: "The days of wooden 'ships are ended, and to build wooden ships 'would be labor lost." The shipowners say: 'Let U3 buy our ships where we can buy 'them cheapest, and if American ships can 'be produced as cheap as foreign ones, of "course we will give our own the prefer? ence." Some of the principal shipbuilders, including Mr. "Webb, of New York, and Mr. McKay, of Boston, have expressed the fullest confidence that if they are put, in regard to the cost of material, on an equal footing with the great iron shipbuilders on the Clyde and the Tyue, they can, notwithstanding the disparity of workmen's wages, produce as good and as cheap ships as their English rivals. In most of the schemes, government sub? sidies are made a prominent feature, but, as we have before maintained, that principle can never bc permanently substituted for private enterprise, as has been demonstrated wherever it has been tried. We need such legislation as will enable us to build and run vessels as cheaply as others, and with this, and the reconstruction of the political relations of the country, oar drooping mari? time interests may be expected to revive and flourish once more. Baller, tho Regulator. On the theory advanced by General But? ler, says that able Radical journal The Nation, about "Federal rights and State "duties, there is no reason why Congress "should not occupy itself for the next ten "year3 overturning State governments and "establishing peace and tranquillity by mili "tary law in various parts of the Union. "There is hardly a single State in the North, "for instance, in which society is in a "thoroughly satisfactory condition. Robbers "go UP whipped of justice, wives are un ' 'faithful, taxes heavy, courts lax, ministers "prosy, to a greater or less extent in them "all. Nor is there any question that these "facts show a departure from a republican "form of government. Were these States "perfect republics, these things would not "be. Why not take them all in hand, and "make an end of iniquity while we are "aboutit? The time is propitious, and the "machinery stands ready to our hands." Tho Insurance Interest. It i3 remarked that the development of | insurance in the United States has been very great during the past ten years. At thc present time, it is computed that the policies against lire and marine loss*1? amount to $3,092,000,000. The life iii3un_e business in the same time, it is asserted, has increased from seventeen companies, issuing 50,000 policies, to over sixty companies, issuing be* tween five hundred and six hundred thou? sand policies for sums amounting to SI,700, 000,000. OUR Washington correspondent writes that an appropriation of twenty thousand dollars for the Charleston Sisters of Mercy would have gone through the House with? out objection, but that it was ruled out of order. An effort will bo made, with good prospects of success, to introduce the amount into the general or miscellaneous appropriation bill. The claim i? su3taiiied liv our most influential citizens and by the State Legislature, and will, we trust, ut last be ullowed. VIRGINIA is now a State in the Union, ac? knowledged as such by thc omnipotent Con? gress and Hie taciturn Grant, and yet Gene? ral Cunby takes it upon himself to drive the police from their posts, and seule a muni? cipal muddle with Federal cold steel. Mayor Ellyson stands np to his work like a man, and somebody may yet rap this upstart Cunby over thc knuckles. TUE Greenville Mountaineer, alluding to tlie public insinuations of corruption that hav^ been made against some of the Demo? cratic members ol the Legislature, says: "We do not want hints and innuendoes, but "facts and names, and, if any are guilty, "whether white or black, Democrat or Re? publican, let them suffer the peuulti'js of "the law." So sav we. THE State press arc again urging the plautcrs to put in more corn and less colton. The Winnsboro' News says that although tlie planting season has just begun, "two "thirds of our people are buying com from "the North and West at pretty high ligures." This points a moral, if it does not adorn a tale. _ THE proprietors of the Columbia Guardian are resolved to push tilings. Their paper is now printed with new and beautiful type, and its price has boen reduced to suit tlie times. No wonder, then, that the Guardian is steadily gaining in strength and popu? larity. WE print this morning a shrewd and sug? gestive letter on the subject of German Im? migration.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. Aa ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary ac present to enter Into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac There ls hardly a etty or town of any note in the country Into which they have not found then* way. The reason of this widespread popularity and daily Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to malee them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day, we have still further Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. JA short, we think it the best that ls made, at least; this ls the decision of the best judges In the coun? try. We don't pretend to compete in price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the' day. which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For qnaUty and style, we defy competition.
