Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S. C. S3)* &])K?t?lm^toc?>t WEDNESDAY, ?IARCII SO, 1870. y FITS OF THE DAY. -Gold yesterday, at New York, closed quiet at ll?. -The New York cotton market closed heavy, but unchanged; sales 2700 bales. -Al Liverpool, coMon closed quiet; sales 10,000 bales. -An Ohio man wants, to bet on lady Con? gressmen witNin three years. -The New York Masons are to erect an asylum for aged Masons and orphans, to cost 1500,000. -The female Anti-Slavery Society of Phila? delphia formally "disbanded" on Thursday, after having existed for thirty-seven years. -General Sherman has written a letter In opposition to the bill before Congress ior the reduction of the United States army. -John Stuart Mill objects to the Educa? tional bill, because it requires religion to be taught to thc minority at the expense of all. -Over two hundred ?louses and twenty-five bales of cotton were destroyed by a recent fire in the Town of Coraptuh, near Nagpou, in the Presidency of Bengal. . -Thc negroes, formerly slaves, among the Cherokees, Creek and Choctaws, claim to be citizens of those tribes and to have set apart for them their proportion of the appropriation annually accruing to those Indians, to be devoted to educational and other purposes. -The New York Evening Post asks why not make Alaska a penal colony, and send con Tlcts there from all the States, and says : *'The new purchase is now worthless; lt could bc made useful os a penal colony. Convicts sent thither would have a new career opened to them: they would not be made worse, but bet? ter by the mode ol Ufe they would lead there; and they would cease to be a charge to the community." -Tile New Y?rk papers are filled with glow? ing accounts of the grand opening of spring fasldons by the modistes of the metropolis. Frem morning till night Broadway was gayer and more brilliant than ever; elegant equipages blocked thc approaches to the marts of fashion, and bonnets and dresses were on exhibition in bewildering variety and profusion. There is nothing of a revolutionary nature either in the etyles or materials to chronicle. -With the confirmation ol Judge Bradley the United State? Supreme Bench is once more full. The following is a list o? the judges with their ages and the date of their appoint? ments: Salmon P. Chase, Ohio, age 62, ap? pointed 18C4; Nathan Clifford, Maine, age CG, appointed 1858; Samuel Nelson, New York, age 77, appointed 1845; David Davis, Illinois, age 55, appointed 18G2; Noah H. Sway ne, Ohio, age 60, appointed 18G2; Samuel F. Miller, Iowa, age 54, appointed 1862; Stephen J. Field, Cali? fornia, age 53 appointed 1863; Wm. Strong, Pennsylvania, age GI, appointed 1870; Jos. P. Bradley, New Jersey, age 57, appointed 1870. -The points of the debate in the United States Senate, in executive session, upon the Ban Domingo treaty, are dropping out by de? grees, if the correspondents aro to be relied on. Mr. Sumner, it is understood, in his speech strongly opposed any attempt to annex either the territory or Hie people of tropical climates. He contended that the United States should endeavor to concentrate their empire and strength within the temperate zone, and be a nation whose basal element is Anglo-Saxon, and whose institutions shall be a development of tho natural tendency of its present people. He advocated a federation of thc West India Islands under the protection of the United States, when the people of those islands shall signify a desire for snch protection. He charged the existence of corrupt motives on the part of outsiders, who have interested themselves in the treaty. Senator Schurz, lt ls stated, will also speak against the treaty. -A brief telegram from New Orleans an? nounces the death of Hon. Pierre Sonic, aged 69 years. Mr. Soule was distinguished for Im? passioned oratory and an adventurous career. He was born at Castillon, in the Pyrenees, -daring the first consulate of Napoleon, bis father having been a lieutenant general in the republican armies of France. In youth Pierre Soule was destined for the church, but went Into politics in early life, and was active in the conspiracy against the Bourbons, which result? ed In Imprisonment. Escaping froji confine? ment he embarked in journalism, went to Chili, and finally turned up In Baltimore, where he arrived front Port au Prince, in September, 1825. In Hie same year he removed to New Orleans, adopted the law as his profession,, rose to distinction by his talents and eloquence, and was sent to the United States Senate in 1847 to fill a vacancy. He was re-elected to the United States Senate in 1S49, and was prominent during lae political agitation pre? ceding the late war. For some years past he Bad been hopelessly insane. -The New York correspondent of thc Bos? ton Journal describes a new invention for dis? placing steam by electricity, and says that lathes, planing-maehines, and other mechani? cal arrangements are driven by this power. To mn an engine of twenty-horse power by this invention would require only a space of three feet long, two feet wide, and two feet high. Tlie cost per day would be thirty-five cents. On a steamship no coal would be re? quired, and the space now used for coal and machinery could be used for cargo. The stub? born resistance of electricity to mechanical use lioretofon- has, it is believed, been overcome. A continuous battery has been secured and other dililcultleR removed, principally through the coil ?if the magnet. If the invention works as weil on the large scale as it does on thc ma? chinery to which it is now applied, steamships will soon ply the ocean under thc new propel ling power. A machine of great capacity is being constructed, and will soon be on exhibi? tion ia New York. The whole thing, mighty enough to oarry a Cunnrder to Liverpool, can be secured in a small trunk. -Late London and Liverpool commercial newspapers show that a large number of steamers are constantly advertised for ports in India, China and Japan, via the Suez Canal. Thc demand for steamers since the opening of the Suez Canal has caused an advance in thc prices of suitable vessels in England, aud fifteen per cent, additional premium is easily obtainable for such steamships over last year's prices; and the shipyards of the Clyde are now building several steamear& of two thousands tons and upwards, of a construction especially adapted to this trade. Thc Bra? zilian, which has arrived in Bombay from Liverpool, made the passage in thirty-three and a half days. The Asia left Bombay on the 25tlt of December at 5 P. M., arrived at Marseilles on the 23d of January, at 8 A. M., having call? ed at Aden, Suez and Port Said, Alexandria and Malta, inside of twenty-seven days' time. There is now in port, at New York, a small cargo of coffee* via thu Suez Canal, which grew upon the mountain estate of Pasha Ali, in Ara? bia, which reached New York, via England, in forty days. Had this coffee come by the way of Good Hope by sail, it would have required seven months longer to have made the trip, -and would have been liable to injury from pas? sing through the tropics. Thc Touchstone of Merit. While tiie general public pay little hcetl to thc glittering generalities in which rival 'newspapers may, from time to time, in? dulge, in respect to circulation, influence or successive decades of bygone usefulness, all readers and advertisers do feel a very natu? ral interest ia the comparative prosperity of the prominent journals which are the mouth? pieces ^f *he sentiments as well as of the business i>: the community. The friends of TnE NEWS, we are sure, will be gratified to read the following official statement of the gross receipts of the daily morning newspa? pers of Charleston during the year 1869, as returned for taxation, and exhibited on the books of the City Assessor: 1869. THE COCKIER. THE NEWS. January,.$4,987.$5,568 February,. 4,248. 5,606 March,. 4,597. 5,504 April,. 4,200. 4,872 May,. 3,540. 4,757 June,. 2,576. 4,342 July,. 3,?00. 4,030 August. 2,968. 3,220 September,. 3,508. 3,559 October,. 3.270. 3,816 November,. 3,814. 5,734 December,. 4,416. 5,576 Total,.$46,024 $57,166 In considering these figures, in so far as they may be taken as an index of cir? culation, it must be borne in mind that the subscription price of THE NBWS, both daily and tri-weekly, is very much lower than that of the journal with which the com? parison is made, and that, therefore, an equal amount of receipts from subscription would represent a considerably larger num? ber of subscribers in the one case than in the other. In fact the circulation of THE NEWS, both in Charleston and in the coun? try, i3 larger now than at any previous time, and is increasing, especially in the case of the tri-weekly edition, with unprecedented strides. In this connection, we tukc pleasure in announcing that, in compliance with solici? tations that constantly reach us from all parts of the South, we shall, on the 1st of May next, begin the publication of a cheap weekly edition of THE NEWS, containing the choicest news and miscellaneous matter given in our daily edition, besides the usua light reading which forms so attractive a feature in the popular weeklies of the day. The Citizens' Convention. The Winnsboro' Seies, which does not see, what is very plain to us, how Federal poli? tics are to be kept out of the fall canvass, is also in doubt as to the composition of the Citizeus' Convention to be held in June next. It says: "We suppose that colored men arc desired to attend the Anti-Radical Convention called to meet Junt' 15th. If so, those who have lt in hand would do well to make the invitation clearly understood on this point." If oar contemporary will read the resolu? tions adopted by the Press Conference, it will find therein an answer to its question. The PEOPLE of the State "opposed to Radicalism "and in favor of good and honest govern "raent," are invited to meet in convention, and we need not remind our Winnsboro' neighbor that there are both whites and blacks in South Carolina. The constitueut body of thc convention is the People of the State, without regard to race, color or na? tional political standing. "AU the citizens of the State, without distinction, who oppose bad government and desire to obtain an able and honest administration, are invited to come together and nominate State officers, whose election shall save the State from an? other long period of extravagance and mis? rule. Whether there will, or will not be, colored men in the Convention, depends upon the actiou of Hie primary meetings. These meet? ings will consist of both whites and blacks, and the colored people must decide whether they wiil be bert represented by men of their own color. For our own part, we hope that the colored people will be represented, not by while delegates, but by respectable and intelligent colored men. FaU In : The Barnwell Sentinel "heartily concurs "with the Press Conference in every line con i'taine? in their resolutions, and will lend all "aid in its power to further the movement.'' The Horry Xeies and the Cheraw Donocrat have also announced their adhesion to the CITIZENS' PAHTY. Out of thirly-seren daily and weekly papers now published in South Carolina, TWENTY-SEVEN have already resolv? ed to make one more manly fight iu the inter? est of good government, low taxes and equal rights. The recruits are swanning in. On every side armor is burnishing and swords of peace are keen and bright. Tilt; tidal wave of despotism and corruption has swept by. Now aro we looking toward the high waters which bring with them their abun? dance of riches and of peace. The Connecticut Election. Connecticut holds her annual State elec? tion Monday, April 4th. She will elect a Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller and a new Legislature. The two parties are fully or? ganized, their candidates being: Republican. Democrat. Governor_Marshall Jewell. Jos. E. English. - Lieut .-GOVT. Morris Tyler. J. Hotchklss. Sec'y State. .H. Apple'man. T. M. Waller. Treasurer ... D. P. Nichols. C. M. Pond. Comptroller..Jas.W. Manning. Seth S. Logan. The two candidates for Governor are the same as last year. The present Senate con? sists of fourteen Republicans and seven Democrats; and the House of one hundred and thirty Republicans and one hundred and eigLt Democrats. The Republican majori? ties last year ranged from four hundred and eleven for Governor to twelve hundred for other candidates. THE ATA" Century for April is out, even earlier than usual. 1>. brings U3, among otherattractions, an interesting paper by the Hon. A. B. Longstreet, on "Old Things "Become New," and some lively reminiscen? ces of Thomas H. Benton and Richard Gantt, by ex-Governor Perry. The light reading of the present number is fully up to the usual standard of this magaziue. Reviews. AUM.S IND ARMOR IN ANTIQUITT AND THE MID? DLE AGES. Also a descriptive notice ot mod? ern weapons. Translated from the drench of M. P. Lacornbe, and with a preface, notes and**onc additional chapter on arms and armor in England. Bv Charles Boutell, M. A., Author pf "English Heraldry." . We hare still among us scholars and military men to whom this book commends itself with special interest. The plan of M. Lacomb . evidently ''to "give in a concise and popular form a general "sketch of the whole subject of which he has "undertaken to treat. An earnest student, an "accomplished connoisseur of ancient art, a "reverential worshipper of Homer, generally "well read in classic literature, but by no "means strong as a medircval archeologist, nor "has he any sympathy with arts and arms of "the middle ages." We have a slight allusion to the discoveries of M. Bouche de Perthe and many other anti? quarians, of mighty weapons (disclosed by geological researches,) which are confidently assigned, not only to antedeluvian and prehis? toric eras, but to periods far more remote than that accorded to the ci eation of Adam. These "primeval men, whose race was mn "before antiquity begun," wc will leave hunt? ing their "big game," aud pass as rapidly the Groek Phalanx and Roman Legion familiar to every schoolboy;-over the Piltun, that most formidable spcivr which, according to Montes? quieu, subdued the world, the short Roman sword or sword-dagger of the times of thc Republic, all suggesting the same reflections, the writer lingers lovingly. Nearly all the details of thc ancient Greeks military equipment are brought before us in 8liort passages, or copious extracts from Lord Derby's translation of thc Illlad. They com? plained even then of degenerate sons of man? lier forefathers. "A rocky fragment th^n ..Tydldes lifted up a mighty mass, "Which scarce two nien could raise as men are nov, "But he, unaided, lifted lt with case, "With this he smote .Eneas.' ' Like the Hon In the fable, he thinks a some? what different estimate of Marathon would have been given if the Persian 6lde of the story had also been heard, and faintly makes allow? ance for patriotic Greek exaggeration. We know something of this In our brief ex? perience-the uncertainty of historic truth, if told by our enemies. "In the fourteenth century the Infantry began "to rise ont of its nothingness, and to assume "in the battle field that importance from thence? forward continually destined to increase." The foot-soldiers and archers of England began it at Crecy, August 26th, LUG. "The first lesson "was given, and it was a harsh one." The Black Prince, by an inspiration of military genius, dismounted his knights and made of them Infantry with knightly arms and armor, and gave the French cavalry a check as com? plete as the solid squares of "perfide Albion" offered Napoleon's horsemen at Waterloo. Wo soc among the illustrations the sword of the "great captain," Gonsalvo de Cordova, but no word of him, or of Turenne, in this account of the llrst formation of that arm of the ser? vice called infantry. M. Lacornbe finds it remarkable that all those complicated devices for the protection of thc combatant should belong to the period which is called the "age of ahlvalry," and that this term "chivalry" should be considered to imply the existence of the most undaunted personal courage, coupled with an almost culpable dis? regard of life and safety. "In my estimation," he adds, "the little modern foot-soldier, in the "cloth tunic of his simple uniform, who stands "firm and steady iu the face of both rifles and "rifled cannon, approaches nearer the realiza? tion of thc military ideal, and ls a moretruth "lul impersonation of the chivalrous, than the "great baron of the olden time, covered from "head to loot with an iron sheathing of mail "and plate." They certainly had the nam?, "chivalry,"' in those days; but whether the thing Itself-the chivalrous-is questionable. Mr. Boutell feels callqd upon here to make a defence, not needed we think, of St. Louis Cccur de Lion, and the Red Cross Knights gen? erally. "Their hones are dust. "Their swords are rust, "Their souls are with "The Saints we trust." The latest crusade was against the fl reek Christian Church in defence of thc Saracen. Little reek the pious and practical nations of Europe if Mameluke or Cossack scour the plains of Palestine, so the balance of power ls unshaken. Thc translator answers M. Lacombe's con? trast of the "jietit fantassin modem?" and the "Baron cttarme'' in this manner : "So far as "the argument rests on thc testimony of ar "mor, the question concerning the relative "sizes of the men now living, and their pre? decessors of the middle ages, is decided in "express opposition to the views of the au? thor's comparison. The existing pieces of "mediaeval armor, that certainly were nabitc "ally worn in their own times, and which as "certainly have no exceptional qualities, are "much too small to be worn by men o? mod?? late average height or size." We have reason to believe, as a general rule, that the medieval knights were far from being | "enormous," and that the once popular theory of the physical degeneracy o? modern genera- j lions is the reverse of the fact. i M. Lacornbe lacks laith in the Yankee great j guns. "They delight in cannon that in their "vast proportions are like mastodons among "lesser animals, with more than one barrel, "also monster revolvers-in a word, powerful "to discharge cist-iron mountains. Heaven "defend me from yielding to any desire to pre? judge this question; but my mind carries mc "back to thc immense bombards of the four "teenlh century, and I can not forget how short "llved was their existence." ?Danis.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. Aa ten years have now elapsed ainee we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter Into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a eity or town of any note In the country Into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand ls owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make 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 ?tod delicacy or flavor. It Is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. Ia short, wc think lt the West that ls made, at least, this is 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 quality and style, we defy competition.
