OCR PRICES CURRENT.-We especially invite the attention or our merchants to TUE NEWS Prices Current, issued this morning. Made up with the utmost care, and handsomely printed with entirely new type, lt forms, with the busi . ness card of the house forwarding lt, the most attractive and welcome weekly commercial clr . cular that can be used. Price, for ten copies or more, with business cards two and a half cents per copy; single copies five cents. TUB CRT IS, STILL THEY COMB.-Water does not Und Its level more speedily than are lost ar'.lclcs restored to the possession or their owners when advertised In the columns of THE NEWS. Several cases have been already mentioned, prov? ing conclusively the benefit from advertising in a paper that ls read by this entire community, and the rest or the world. Only two Instances occur? red yesterday-a black lace veli and a gold brace? let were advertised, found, and their owners are now rejoicing In the possession of their lost prop? erty. KIDNAPPED.-We learn that two or three nights ago, while two young men were on their way home, they were assaulted by runners em? ployed by the captain of the ship R. 0. Winthrop, knocked down, muffled, and put into a boat, which conveyed them to the Winthrop. The ship sailed the next day. The friends of the young men knew nothing of what had. transpired until thc pilot of the ship returned. He brought a note froai one of the young men-, statlDg the circum? stances connected with theil be!ur, kidnapped. A TINE OPPORTUNITY FOR YACHTING.-We have paid a visit to the beautiful yacht "Sunny? side," of Augusta, Maine, now lying at Atlantic wharr, and offered for sale this day, at auction, by Messrs. Leitch A- Bruns, and were snrprlsed to find such superior accommodations on a vessel of only 16 22-100 tons. Her arrangements for cabin .comforts are not surpassed by many crafts of larger tonnage,* and her cooking galley would command the admiration of the ladies-a place for everything, and everything in Its place. Drawing only seven feet, she made the trip rrom Maine, touching at all or the intermediate ports, and now that she has accomplisned her mission, she willie knocked down by the hammer to the highest bidder. She looks as fresh and beautHul as when first launched. Our pilots and amateur sailors would act wisely li they do not let her be purchased abroad.

A NEW SOUTHERN PATENT.-Mr. C. A. Scaalan, of our city, has just received Informa? tion of the granting of letters patent for a phos? phate dre'dgc, which bids fair to add very largely to the supply or this userul material to our com? mercial and agricultural Interests, and while specially adapted to this work, lt will prove a great source of comfort to the lovers or bivalves, who were rearing that the supply would rall short, for now none of these worthies who have so long escaped the rake can feel Bate In their briny beds. It ls a very simple ond complete little machine, and will, no doubt, be hailed with pleasure by those about ns who have been look? ing for something to reach thc tempting nodules In the rivers around, and will supply work for many hands now idle. Every invention that re? lieves the dimcultlcs of our work or opens a new channel of employment should bs a sou ree of pleasure, and bc encouraged by all who feel an interest In enr Improvement.

The Academy of Music-Miss Keene's Benefit-The School for Scandal. Sharing thc fate ol alt plays with which the theatre-goers of our community are not familiar, at least by reputation, Toinette drew but a thin house last night. The company, however, acted with their usual spirit, and those who saw the performance weut away exceedingly well pleased. To-night Miss Laura Keene takes her farwcll benefit. Sheridan's sterling comedy, The School for scandal, being the attraction. To see Hus fine old play presented in thc style In which we know it will bf given by Mic exc?dent company who now hold the Academy boards, will be a thing to bc remembered. Few of the rising gene? ration in Charleston have any personal knowl? edge of the Sir Peter and Lady Teazle, or of thc Charles and Joseph Surface, of whom they have hoard so much; and lt is not likely that they will have, for a long time to come, so favorable an opportunity of making their acquaintance as to-night. Of course there will be atine house, but in compliment to the eminent and finished actress and relined lady, who has given our people so acceptable a series of elegant dramatic entertainments, the Academy ought to be crowded iu every part. Holy Week?Lectares at tho Academy. In deference to the sentiment of the religious element of thc community, Mr. Chadwick has de? cided to close thc Academy, as regards theatrical entertainments, daring Holy Week, which opens on Sunday next. Arrangements, however, have been made by which the Rev. W. W. Hicks will de? liver a course of lectures, brginuing on Monday evenlDg. An advertlsemeut in another column gives further particulars. DKATU FKOM TUE USE or Cin.or.OFor.it.-Thc Savannah Republican, or Wednesday, learns that a surgeon administered chloroform to a little boy on Monday, for thc purpose of performing an operation upon his mouth, which was dlsllgured from some cause which we did not learn, and that the child died from the effects of thc chloro? form, and was buried Tuesday. It is sahl that the reason why the chloroform produced tall de? plorable effect was that the liver of the child was diseased. THE COTTON: WORM DOOMED.-Since the rc appearance of the cotton caterpillar, any num. ber of plans have been devised to exterminate thc great exterminator, but so far, in spite of all efforts to the contrary, the worm has fed and nourished amazingly. Recent experiments, how? ever, are said to liare developed the fact that, by preparing fertilizers with certain chemical in? gredients, the germ of the insect is killed In the earth, while, at the same time, the ground is en? riched for the coming crops. Mr. Paul C. Treu holm has just received for sale a limited quantity of the Union Fertilizer prepared in thc above manner. It hos been subjected to scientific and practical tests, and found to be thoroughly adapt? ed to the double purpose in view. See advertise? ment. A RAILROAD ENGINEER SHOT.-The Savan? nah News reports the shooting, on Tuesday, of Mr. Patrick Igo, engineer of a freight train on thc Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, by Thomas Brennan, i fireman on the same train. The engineer had jccasion to examine the boxes of the axles, ivhlch were smoking, and left thc flreman In rhargc of the engine. On returning, thc engi lecr found that steam had been generated equal :o one hundred and thirty pounds, and having ipoken to thc fireman. Brennan, In relation to .he matter in rather harsh language, the latter went to thc tool box, took a pistol therefrom and ihot the engineer. Thc ball took effect on thc 1ght side, and the fireman Jumped from the train ind made his escape. The engineer, though ?rounded, run the train to Savannah, when m?di? rai aid was secured. The ball has not yet been attracted, and lt is a question of doubt whether ie will survive thc wound. Brennan has not yet >ecu arrested. TUE COLUMBIA ELECTION.-The Columbia ?uardlan gives the following abstract of the pro est.of the citizens of Columbia against the lute lection : That persons residing In the territory recently dded to the city have been allowed to vote lioujrh only forty days resident lu the city limits istead of sixty. That the managers refused to define thc limits f the several wards, thus preventing many per otis from voting. That many persons were warned by the mana :ers that they could not register without porjury rhilc others in like circumstances were al owed to vote. That while withholding Information necessary o rersons who desired to register correctly, the (tanagers refused them permission to swear ac ordlng to their knowledge aud belief. That numbers of voters were received from ilautatious several miles distant. That the managers wore intimidated aud con rolled in the discharge of their duties. That no legal notice of Hmo and place was ;iven. That the act authorizing thc election ls itself inconstttational. On these grounds the protestants pray that the aatter shall bc Investigated at a lime to be ap loiuted by thc actiug council. WILLIAM GILMORE SIMMS' OPINION OF APPLE os's CvcLor.EDiA.-In a letter to Mr. J. C. Derby, he general agent of Appleton's Cyclopaedia Willam Gilmore Simms, E?q., uses the following mguagc in regard to that work : Such a work, useful everywhere, is particularly aluable here, especially after the destruction ol 0 mnny of our libraries. I can readily, and do heerfully, bear testimony to the great value ol lie ctycto?)iedia ot Messrs. Appleton as bein astly superior to any extant, whether European r American. It comprehends not only all thal ? really valuable in all proceeding works of this lass, but covers a far greater variety of subjects nd interests, arts, sciences, letters, biography nd history, n vast collection, the accumulated .aowledge of modern and recent periods to Hie iresent date. In brief, its body of materials ls ullv one-third greater, In my estimate, than that >r any other similar work. The editorship was ontlded tn thc most able hands. The cohort of outributors was singularly strong, and what ls . special recommendation of this work io our leople, ? large proportion of these were by Southern men. natives, and ramlllar with all the ocal subjects ol'our section, with its histories In leiail and biographies of Hs most remarkable nen. Having myself been connected by the fessrai Appleton at the Inception of the work, I tad the assurance from them that thc materials if American character should bc drawn from the nost Impartial and most unquestionable sources if authority; that the Sou'h should hese that us':ce accorded to Us character, its history and ts public men. tcliicJi before had been too ommonly denied in similar publications. feel assured that the publishers have steadily Ldhered to their original honorable determina lou to forbear all improper, partial, sectional Incriminations in all the several departments of heir work. 1 trust you will be successful in dif Uslng generally throughout the South one or thc nost valuab'e by far of all collections of the kind, 1 library-a very irorld of books iu Itself. It will lupply to thousands thc means of study and knowledge, for which thousands of other books vould bc searched in vain." Hotel Arrt-rals-Api-11 7. CHARLESTON HOTEL. S. IL Johnson and wife.

CRUMBS.-Who will bo thc man to represent this Congressional district, is thu question orten asked by thc Radicals and is yet unanswered. More seats are needed on the Rattcry. The magistrates are doing little business now. Aspirants arc very anxious ror Qovernor Scott to announce the trial justices Tor Charleston Connty.

There was some equity business disposed of In the State Court yesterday, but nothing of Interest transpired. Yesterday Lydia Brightman had her husband John Brightman, arrested for bigamy. Ho was turned over to answer. "THE CONFEDERATE DI AD-NOTHING FROM SOITII CAROLINA !"-We called attention on Mon? day to an earnest appeal of the Hollywood Asso? ciation, ol Richmond, ror aid lu removing the bodies or our honored dead rrom the places where they aro neglected, to the home cemeteries, where they would be with us, and where we could lay upon their graves which enclose them our constant tokens or living remembrance. We are rejoiced to know that thc reproach which that ap? peal Implied to South Carolina, In connection with many other States, was not deserved. The Ladies' Memorial Association, or this city, has been doing every thing possible, under the cir? cumstances, to accomplish the noble and holy ob? ject which tho Hollywood Association contem? plates. The Memorial Association, of Charleston, has been, for some time, in correspondence with parties iu Baltimore, to perfect arrangements to bring homo as many as possible of our Confeder? ate dead. As may well be conceived, the chief difficulty has been want of funds. Could this have been removed we should already have re? joiced lu having our martyr dust resting lu their native soil, that yearns to give it sepulture. It will depend upon the ability and liberality of our community to determine how long It shall be before this happy result is attained. We will gladly re? ceive contributions, however small, for this pur? pose, and we have the assurance of I he patriotic ladies of thc M?morial Associai ?on that all sums so piven will be faithfully and 'economically applied to this end. Contributions will be received also br the ottlcers of the Memorial Association. THE CHARLESTON ORPHAN ASYLUM.-From .he Charleston correspondence of the Barnwell, lournal, we take the following Interesting des ?rlptlon of a visit to the Orphan House: Last week we accepted the polite Invitation or Vir. H. B. Olney, one or the board or commission ;rs, to visit this noble and well-managed lnstitu :ion. Suffice it to say, wc were highly pleased vlth the visit, and hope to repeat it at an early lav. The orphunhouse ls under the patronage ?f thc city, and ls under the eillclent supcrlnten lence of Miss Irving, who has been connected villi the institution for a number or years. She s aided by quite a number or teachers, all or vhom were once orphan children in the asylum, iud who have never known any other home. ?'here are at present over three hundred children lu he house, and their happy races and tidy appear ince satisfied us at once that they had Indeed found i home. They receive daily lustructlou are well ared for, and learn lo form here habits of indus ry which will euable them to make their way hroagh the world. The children are taught to ibservc system In every thing, so that even the mai: . ;t among them have already learned to iavc a place for everything and everything in Its dace. We were delighted with the exercises hrough which Miss Irving carried them during ur vlalt, und were astonished tosee howndmi ubly she controlled the large crowd or children y a simple movement or her haad. The City or marleston may well be proud or this institution, I ? >r in point or management, cleanliness, gene- ' al order and emclent lnstructluii, lt has surely o superior. There ls a nice chapel attached to thc rounds, in whleh thc different ministers ot the Ity oitleiate lu turu. Mr. olney, who kindly oc oinpanled us through the building, has recently leen re-elected to lils old place on the board ot .omniissloners, to fill thc vacancy occasioned by lenth or Henry Cobla, Esq. He ls deeply Intcrest d In the Orphanhouse, aud we observed that he I / ?'as a ?universal favorito among the children. h COUNTY TAXBS-A CAT rs THE MEAL Tun. lie following tax receipt has been shown us as , curiosity of Its kind. It ls from the countj 11 reasurer of Colleton County, and for property In g lt. Paul's Parish: v 'or general purposes of Slate Govern- 1] mem. $GC 36 a 'or school purposes. 1 os 'or county tux. Tl 00 . Total.?140 36 111 Last year a county tax was levied cn thc same roperty ror $3T Oj. and, it Is believed, not a dol ir expended either for schools or bridges or jj oads lu that parish. The bridges rrom Ran- " uwle's, on the Hilton Head road, are unsafe for ti mule or a horse to cross. Thc roads arc in a 1 .retched condition, and trees have been laying cross thc road for months and are now obstruet ig thc road. Persous on foot are compelled to ?ck their way by side paths through the woods, j" nd frequently wade through water to and from n lunch or the depot. a The attention or the commissioners have been ailed to these matters, and no notice taken ont. r thc commissioners have power to levy such normoua taxes for "county purposes,"' is there io way to compel them to do their duty In kecp ng the roads and bridges lu at least a passable! 1 onditlon ? But lt seems to us that the county commission* rs have exceeded their authority in nt least the . (anicular case In St. Paul's Parish, already men- | c inned. Au act or the General Assembly, ap rared December 22, 1801, authorizes thc county ommlssioners to levy a tax or three, mills on the jj lollar and ne more. At this rate, a piece ol pro- s tens upon which the county tax ls $73, must be Jj issessed at the surr or $24,800. But the St Paul's t iropcrty 13 not assessed at anything like bair hat amount, and lt ls very clear that lt bas been ' axed more highly than the law allow?. p Again, the State tax on tho same property at lee mttt? is only $66, while the county tax at hree mills ls $73. This ls a serious matter and equlrcs a thorough investigation.

At thc meeting of the Board ot Trade held on Wednesday night, R. S. Brans, Esq., thc chair man of the Board of Trustees, read the following report : ? Gentlemen of the Hoard of Traa>-Thc trastees appointed by your honorable body on tho 30th of June, 1SG9, to purchase a suitable place and fur? nish the same for board purposes, feel assured that there is not present ono member of this society, who docs not share with them In that natural reeling of satisfaction with which the hearts of men rejoice m a triumph made complete. Here In this beautiful place, one looks back with donbt and questioning on thc small, obscure be? ginnings or this institution. At a time when the whole country seemed broken down, and our people generally were brooding together over their doubtrul rortunes, with ill-concealed dismay and apprehension; when men had no money to Invest lu enterprise, no capital for the ordinary wants of trnde, no currency for the necessities of society, and when a general doubt seemed to hang over the credit of all, lt was surely In proof of a noble courage, full of faith and energy, which then Inspired the formation of this now Institu? tion. But with all the hopes, faith and energy which might be active in the hearts of the first beginners or this goodly work, no one even among themselves, and certainly very rcw per? sons In the community at large, ever dreamed of the wonderful progress which the Board of Trade hos made. Wc are In a palace raised by our own hands, richly decorated, in linc taste, with ample provisions ror comrort, enjoyment, the transac? tion or business and the secluded labors In the committee room. What a orownlng triumph, what a beautiful spectacle. Row encouraging this day to thc youthful beginner In the life-loag tolls of trade and commerce. Here he sees what may bc done, even against fate and fortune, by will, courage, energy and a calm, resolute, medi? tative judgment. Herc, from the ronr years' his? tory of this body, he will learn the secret of suc? cess, that being the concentrative employment of all these elements of true manhood to a given end. Xor have the labors of this body been con? fined solely to the construction and decoration of this edifice. They have not Idly consumed their meetings In frothy declamations. They have grappled with every subject which seemed In any way likely to affect the interests of this noble old City b- *he Sea; and without going into details, the B . -d of Trustees may veuture to say, that the labors of this body arc already known, their Iniluencc already felt through ali the nerves of the community. Beginning with only a few members, we now count them by hundreds, and at every regular meeting the cry is, "still thc-y come." The strong men of the city, thc earnest working, performing men. who only need to will to achieve. Tills Institution, briefly, has done more perhaps than any other, or all besides, to prove that there ls "Ide in the old land yet." In conclusion, the Board of Trustees beg to present their financial report of receipts and ex? penditures during their term of service, and ?speclally to call attention to the fact that there is yet wanting to liquidate thc Indebtedness of thc board.the sum of $7005 42, as will be seen by thc statement annexed. It becomes, therefore, necessary for each and ill or us to subscribe liberally, In order to be freed from this debt. All of wlilcli ls respectfully submitted. R. S. BRl'SS, 1 D. P. FLEMINO, W. K.

The following letter has been received by Vm. M. Lawton, Esq., President of the South karolina Institute, from Commodore M. F. Maury: VIRGINIA MILITARY INSTITUTE 1 LEX-INOTON, VA., March 25, 1870. j Dear Sir-I have this morning your very kind cttcr of the 21st, extending an Invitation to thc convention that has been called by the South Car? inna Institute, to meet In thc City of Charleston m thc 3d or May next. It would give me great pleasure to bc present f my health permitted, for 1 have been an Inva id for several months, and now have to write vlth the pen of another. I am glad, however, to see this move on thc tart of South Carolina, ror what we lack in a reat degree ls the spirit to act In concert-not hrough the Legislatures, for they do not always I eilect the Southern sentiments, but through the ruc Southern' people. This move looks lu that irection, and 1 hope lt will be followed up, be ome general throughout thc South, and be at? ended with wholesome practical results. As for Immigration-I mean foreign Immigra lon-I am not aware of any measures in any one r the souiuern states, except perhaps Texas, 'hielt seem likely to Induce lt. so Tar as I can idgc from tho little that 1 can sec of the temper f Southern Legislatures,we are not likely soon to ave any, unless the people will move in concert nd Insist upon lt. lt becomes y mt State to put hersoir forward lu Ids matter, for with a strong tide of foreign lm- 1 nigraiion flowing Into Charleston, whether des hied lor South Carolina or ror States West, Iharleston would secure thc prize ol' direct trade, rhlch she has wished for so long and earnestly, ta you very well know, Charleston has never cen able to have direct trade with Europe, , Imply for the lack of return cargoes, and she 1 ouid not distribute these return cargoes, In tho hapcof European merchandise, simply because he had no market for them. Now, ship-loads of ; emigrants will give her Inward cargoes, and so nable her te ship direct in thc returning imml ration steamers the produce which lines her rliarves. And thus while gaining labor-lessen ng taxation on one baud, and increasing the bllity of the people to pay on the other-she ronld relieve the citizens of South Carolina, Ac, . f thc burden under which they have groaned so mg or having to hire empty ships ror coming for lielr produce, and so paying rrelght both ways. There is. as you are aware, a strong prejudice i the minds or European emigrants generally gainst the South, owing to their educated rnorance with regard to us. They think that we ave always despised 'abor; that we hate the la? mer, ano* look down upon him and his occupa- < ?on with contempt. They are still taught to he eve, and many or them do believe, that If they rete lo conic to thc South they would bc made laves of instantly. There ls another large class f them who believe that the Southern people are lawless and sciul-barbarous set; ihat Hie south rn climate ls deadly to the white laborer, and hat thc negro ls among us only because thc t-gro, and he alone, could endure our climate as laborer. Une or thc tasks before us is to enlighten this rnorance and remove these prejudices. To do lils ls among thc first steps towards the consum nation of those measures, which aro necessary o secure foreign immigration. Upon this subject u admirable report was submitted to the Louis Ult Convention ori8?9, by Colonel Massie, or the Mrginla Military Institute. All things considered-the poverty or our poo? le, the complexion or several of our Legislatures, he prejudice that has been excited against us broad, Ac-the problem of foreign Immigration, specially from Europe, Is surrounded by practl ul difficulties, which will require the milted irnrts or the whole Southern people to overcome. I Though all seem to desire Immigration, yet lew ppear to realize its Importanco so as to bring lt mme to themselves. What is lt but immi ration that has put thc North ahead of the south n wealth and population? The immigrants and lescendauts or Immigrants who have settled in he North rather than In the South 3lnce the first ?usus lu 1790 now maka up this diff?rence bc ween thc two sections lu population, wealth tnid lower. In 1790 the difference between them lu lopulatiuu did not exceed 10.000. Natural lil? li ease has been In favor of the South; yet thc dif erence In population between the two sections unounis now to ten or fifteen millions. Imagine ten million of settlers coming rrom ibroad with their capital, their industry and their kill, and settling themselves in the Souih-each mc would, on thc average add one thousand lullars to the wealth of his neighborhood. But how is lt during the mst five years, since he South began to express a wish for immigra lon? The ?ress has written, thc people have alked, the question has been agitated, and Leg statures have acted, all iu favor or Immigration. Jut where arc the fruits? The prize ls one or ;rcat vnluc to us, and it requires united and treat efforts to win lt; but lt will be worth the iriee that has to bc paid for lt; for it will draw irter it more benefits than any measure which ms vet been proposed to the South since she laid lowu her arms, ft will bring us labor; it will In :rc:u>c our wealth and population: it will give us rcalth and power, lessen taxation, ami draw ifter it dlreot trade. Thc fact that the putting lt In motion will >c attended with expense greater perhaps linn any one or thc Southern states can bear, ihuuld not deter or damp your efforts, but spur rou on to renewed attempts, and prove the great :r necessity ror concert of action among the peo >le of all thc states, especially on tins side of thc disslssippl, rrom Mary laud down. None or these states have, as you are aware, any public lands vith which to tempt ploueer settlers rrom inroad. Thor, thererore, should pledge the new comer lind treatment, hold oui to him all the induce nenis they hare lo offer, and help to pave lris'way, .specially your pioneer, with material advan ages. You observe that I lay stress upon loreign im? migration, and I do so designedly, beoause lt will ?elnore advantageous io the South, than immi iratlon from the neighboring States or the North, l'hat has sufficient encouragement In the laws md natural resources of the South; but vou ob? serve that Immigration from abroad will draw titer ii fur greater advantages than those which follow domestic Immigration. Domestic Immigration adds nothing ti? the na? tional wealth or the industrial energies or a coun? try; lt is a mere transferor Isbor from one de? partment to another in the same establishment; neither docs it l?crense thepopulatlon of the coun? try. Foreign Immigration does all three. Nei? ther does domestic Immigration tend to encour ige direct trade, while foreign Immigration, com lng from Europe direct into Southern ports, will give it tons at once. I heartily wish the South Carolina Institute suc? cess in lu laudable endeavors, and hope lt will have the satisfaction of seeing them crowned with success. Respectfully, ic., M. F. MAURY. WM. M.
