L;wis, who was a gallant brigadier in cite Confederate States army, has been nominated for Congress In the Third Con. gressional District of Kwntuvky, vice Qolladay. . His disabilities have been remove I. -The commissioner or internal revenue has decided that farmers and gardeners who have no regular place, and sell only thc product of their own farms and gardens from their wagons along tho streets, do not render themselves by so doing liable to special tax as produce brokers. -Wall str =vt and the stock market had another sensation on Wednesday. A prominent broker. Mr. Gilben W. Thomas, of the firm P. T. Thomas A Co., of 42 Exchange Place, absconded with $02. 000 worth of bonds belonging to Dabney, Morgan -A Co. He has not been seen or heard from since his disappearance. -The New York World of Wednesday says: "A successful experimental trip was made on thc Greenwich street Elevated Railway yesterday. The <\irs ran smoothly and with no discomfort to the passengers, and the time made from Court land street to Thirteenth street was exactly nr. teen minutes." -A memorial of Cyrus W. Field will be present? ed to the Senate and House of Repr?sent?t ives for establishing an bver-occanlc telegraph cable lie. tween America and Asia. This will supply the only link now remaining to be completed li: order to make, In connection with Hie lines now in ope? ration and under contract, a chain or telegrahlc communications around thc globe. -Rumors of enormous swindles, In tho shape of land grant3 to Western railroads and other pretended internal Improvement projects, to be perpetrated by Congress on the people, are rife. The aggregate area or territory granted already is nearly 400,000 ?qnare miles, or one-eighth of the entire surface of the United States. During this session, leo grab bills have been Introduced into Congress, which, if passed, will gobble up, it ls claimed, Hie rem Under or the public domain. -A Nvtherland steamship compauy has been formed in England to establish a Hue of steamers through the Suez Canal, between the Netherlands and her Eastern Colonies, einbi acing au annual trade amouuting to upwards of twelve million sterling, a specie export of about one million, and a considerable trudie in passengers and soldiers. This, lt ls mcutioncd, is thc first steam shipping company promoted in Holland for thc purpose of trading between tho mother country and thc Dutch possessions In the Eastern Seas. -Cricketers throughout the country will be sorry to hear that the English cricketers will not be able to visit the country this year, as promised. Negotiations have been pending for some time with Edgar Wlisher. who was the captain of thc eleven that were here in 1303; but yesterday a letter was received from him stating that he would not be able to bring a team over this sea? son, owing to some of the country matches in England being played so late. It is expected, however, that arrangements wilt be made by which they will come to this couotry next sum? mer to contend with our "crack" clubs. -The earthquake ihock In San Francisco on the 2d inst, was "sharp and vigorous, but passed off, doing but little damage, lt was, however, productive of the usual excitement which attend cases of this phenomena.' Horses, who are very sensible to carihquukes, plunged and jumped abont recklessly, but nothing serions transpired. Thc first shock lusted just long enough to stait people from their houses to the streets, where they waited in expectation of thc F?cond, ond, failing to experience lt, they quickly leturued to their vocations, lu Guayaquil, .South America, between Point Pasudo and Point Ve?udo, a pecu? liar volcanic movement has recently taken place. Ina space of two leagues the sn rf ncc of the earth was in a state of undulation, great caverns and deep circular excavations were opened, a new lagoou had been formed, and a hill had risen be? tween the .shore and the sea. Thc h?ls along the coast weie observed also to bc in a state or mo- I lion, with land?lidcs of rocks and trees. This | volcanic agitation hail been going OB for fonr days, and followed a direction from weat to east. It would seem hom this that the throes or the earth, which, a year or two ago, sent desolation through some or the most populous districts or South America, are not yet wholly spent. -Brigham Young set his bestspcakcrsat work, as soon as thc Cullom bill passed, to prepare Hie people for protesting, and, as it would seem like? ly, for resisting. Thc mass indignation meetings at Salt Lake City were conducted in a manner combining the religlJ?3 with the political, strong ly fanatical In each. Orson Pratt, who Is next to Brtgham in Hie Mormon list of dignitaries, takes the view or the matter which ls most popular and likely to prevail with the staunch saints. He maintains thc U?VIHC institution of plural marriages, and casu all responsibility upon the Deity. He boldly arrays Congress and thc .Almighty against each other in hU harangues, and paraphrases Hie Apostle Paul |n his appeals to thc people to obey the divine maudatcs even to death. At thc last meeting, held last week, a more sensible vi-w or the matter was taken hy Judge Stout. He osked whether, *itn re??ale Suffrage established in the Territory, anil v ltl| railroads opeulng np Hie whole settlement ;,, outside Influences, Congress could not have be-n satisfied to let the religion die out, as li surely would do ir false, instead of attempting to rega late l: In this harsh manner. The sime qncatl-tn ha" been asked here, and lt galus greater form when wc sec Hie storm of fanaticism the Coll-mi bill lia- raised In Utah. -T.;e latest advices from Cuba disclose a most deplorable s:ate o.r affairs. The prevalent senti mont is war to tue knife-a war without mercy or humanity. Cold-blooded batelleries and execu? tions are of cvery-day occurrence. A Valmaseda has twenfy-flve men shot before breakfast, and a Quesada twice as many executed at au hour's notice. AU of which goos to show that thc hostile iVrces ara by no m?ans discouru .'eil. Thc story of thc embarkation of Jordan is repeated, and the capture of a depository of arms in thc mountains by thc garrison of Gabanica is reported. Tue Captain-General has issued another long docu? ment announcing the termination of the insur? rection-evidently intended for ciTect abroad. The CayameJC Espa?ol mentions that ten persons were recently shot In Bayamo. Thc House of Representatives had dissolved, and C?spedes,who hus been twice at the point of being captured, is wandering about. Two torpedoes had bren discovered on Hie linc ot railroad, placed there willi the evident design of blowing up thc train. Their dimensions and character are described" from which it 1'assumed they were made in a foreign land. Interest is centred upon the Las Tunas district, where Count de Valmaseda is making great efforts to win back the Cubans by fire, sword and amnesty. The news from other parts of the island ls unimportant. Reviews. MEMORIAL OY CBNEKAI. J. JOHNSTON* PKTTI (HiEW. Br Wm. Hcnrv Trcscot. Charles? ton : John Russell. 1S7?. The memorial of Lue life of Generali John? ston Pettigrew, lately issued from thc press' ol Messrs. Waiker, Evans <fc Cogswell, of this j city, is something more than a graceful and worthy biograph; of one of thc noblest aud most chivalrous of the peerless band who fought and died itv the armies of the South. Mr. Trescot judged correctly tltat some knowledge of tim ways of peace was neces? sary to a just appreciation of the circum? stance of war; and assuredly none who are ignorant of the spirit of the times, of the habits of the people und their modes of thought, can understand why the Confed?? rate war begun, mid bow, once begun, it drew into, its ranks TJniot:i3t and Secession? ist, stripling aud greybeard, doubler and enthusiast-all for the State, and the South. The generous conviction, expressed by Mr. Trescot, that "men never will mistake "purity of purpose, nobleness, self-sacrific "ing lives, or heroic deaths, be they spent "on one side or the other," will find a re? sponsive echo in the hearts of the truest sol? diers of the Confederacy. And those who live beyond the border may seek thc solution of what to them is a difficult problem, in the graphic summary given in the pages of this Memorial of che causes which bred an al? most fanatic intensity of State loyalty, and which settled the question of duty when Hie ordinance of secession was passed. Men had their misgivings, but there was "no hes "itation us to what they liad todo." Calmly, and with a philosophic spirit, and chasteness of diction, now too uncommon, Mr. Trescot ! traces Hie character of Soutli Carolina and its people; illustrating the commonwealth by rim individual gentleman, and finding in thc one citizen a representative of thc vir? tues, and, perhaps, the faults of the State. Thc early life of General Pettigrew, his scholastic successes, his appointment as a pt cfcs.-or in the Washington Observatory, ?ii? admission to the Charleston bar, his for? eign travel and kia brief but brilliant politi? cal career, are described with cautious care; and uo opportunity is lost of pointing out wherein tho eminent student and scholar was the type of ht3 race. General Pettigrew was "hy nature essen-1 "tinily a soldier;'' aud in 1S5S he determined to apply for a stair appointment in the Sar? dinian service, anxious lo lake his part in tho great cause of "struggling, expiring hu "manity." Tba peace of Villafranca put au end to thc purpose of his journey to Europe; but during his absence he devoted himself to the study of military science, un i upon his return to Charleston was elected colonel of thc First Hille Regiment, "the best or? ganization of volunteer troops in the State." When the war broke out Colonel Pettigrew** regiment occupied Castle Pinckney, aud was afterwards transferred to Morris's and Sulli? van's Islands ^inmediately after the reduc? tion of Fort Sumter, Colonel Pettigrew or? ganized a rille regiment "for thc war;" but the War Department declined to receive or? ganized regiments, and thc different compa? nies obtained admission into other organiza? tions. Colonel Pettigrew joined the Wash? ington Light Iufanlry volunteers-ihen com? manded by General James Conner, himself as gallant a soldier as ever drew a sword and a little later was appointed Colonel of the Twelfth North Carolina. In 1SC2 he was offered a commission as Brigadier-General. This he declined to accept on the ground that "lie hud never been under lire, never han- ; "died troops in action, and his couviciion "wus ?ii ?ii that no man who hud not been j "actually tried in battle should be api.oii.ted ";o the rank ol Brigadier." Not loug afur, Colonel Pettigrew was persuaded liv General Holmes to yield ?lis convictions and accept the appointment. At Seven Pines he was des? perately wounded and Liken prisoner, and upon his return to the field was placed in command of a brigade near Petersburg. His firmness, skill, prudence aud dashing valor inspired confidence and enthusiasm wherever lie went; "he only needed time to "have won his way to the highest military . .distinction." At Gettysburg lie commanded Roth's Division which took part in "the fatal "and famous advance" on Cemetery Hil!, on tho morning of the 3d July, 18C3. His noble brigade, which on the morning of the 1st July mustered titree thousand men, num? bered on t!:c morning of the 4th eight hun? dred and thirty-five. Thc- end was near. On the morning ol' the lii? July a small squad of United Stales .avulry charged upon General Helli, Gene nil Pettigrew and a group of ofilccrs who were walking towards the left of their divi vision. Tl.e anns of the men were stacked, "there was a brief alarm, an obscure and "confused skirmish, a few scattered shots, "and, within sight of a whole division, "General Pettigrew was mortally wounded "by one of these reckless troopers, who made "their escape as rapidly and safely as they "bad made their attack." Tiierc are few of tiie v?t?rans uf the Army of Northern Vir? ginia who do not remember thal drizzly day nt Fulling Waters, when the news of Hie wounding of Pettigrew Hashed through thc ranks; nor is it forgotten that liiere was then found a grim consolation in the belief that of tho troopers who made the attack only two or three escaped. Three days later General Pettigrew died. Thc Bishop of Louriana, who was willi him, said: "In a ministry of near thirty years, I "have never witnessed a mure sublime ex "ample of Christian resignation and hope in "death." This is the whole sad history of the pure, I unselfish cavalier, and those who knew him I best, agree that "it needed only this Anal "consecration to an unselfish caase to per "fect the nobleness of hi3 character." It is well that South Carolina has had such men; for, whatever may be the future, "History "will vindicate our purpose, while she ex? plains our errors, and, from generation to "generation, she will bring back our sons to "the graves of these soldiers of the South, "and tell them-aye, even in the fullness of "a prosperity we shall uot see-This is holy "ground: it is good for you to be here!" ASKAROS KASSIS, TUB Corr. A Romance ot Modern Egypt. By Edwin DeLeon, late United States Consul-General for Egypt. Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Go. Charles? ton: John Russell. This exciting and picturesque novel ha3 already been favorably reviewed in these col? umns. We need only repeat that it is one of the most vividly exciting pictures of East? ern life ever published, and that the crowd? ing of incidents, which is its main artistic fault, will not be a blemish in the eyes of the rendios public. Calico. A New York Free Trade paper asks why should Protection force us to buy dear, in? ferior calico, instead of cheap, superior cali? co, simply because the cheap superior is British, and tho (lear inferior American ? In New York, Lancaster ? prints sell at 17 cents a yard. In Manchester, England, Hoyle ? prints sold nt latest dates at . 54 peuce, equal to 10j cents gold. Add to this 30 per cent, for premium and expense, and it will appear that the British calico could be afforded here in New York at 13* cents a yard, or 3J cents cheaper than the Ameri? can. More than this, it is better printed than the American, so much so that, at the same price, a thousand cases of English would be sold out before the American box 03 would be broken in. JJeing thus cheaper and better, why are we not allowed to have it ? Why the dear inferior alwiys, and uot tho cheap superior ? Thc tariff is tho answer. Some New England manufacturer wants "Protection"-that is to says, wants you fined if you buy foreign calico, thus forcing yon to buy of him; and tho tariff does thc work for hint and against you, thus : 1 yard English calico: First cost. 10)ic. Expense. 2c. - Without "protection"_lSKc gold, or lie. cur. (1) duty, specific, ftc. per sq. rd., K wide....'.4^0. (2) duty, ad valo? rem. 20 per cent. 2c. - ?Protection". 8,s,'c. gold, or 7c. cur. With "protection*".19.l?c. gold, or2lc. cur. Tn this way every working man who buys a yard of British calico for his wild or child, is made to pay 7 cents for tho Protection of thc mill-owners Qf New England. Unless this 7 cents of duly was exacted, thc British prints could be sold at less than the selling price of the American prints. This would, of course, be for the advantage of thc toil? ing millions; but il would injure tho wealthy mill-owners. With a Protective tariff, the many must suffer that the few may increase their wealth. With Free Trade every man can buy in tho cheapest market, whether it be in Europe, Asia cr the United States. Ntvr England Alarmed. A Washington letter tells us: "Tho agree "ment by tito Ways an 1 Means Committee "to take off the duty on cotton machinery, "has brought about strong opposition from 'thc representatives of some twenty-eight '?manufacturers of cotton and card ma-1 "clanery, of Massachusetts and other New "England States, who protest against such "action. They represent that unless pro? jection is afforded them they cannot suc? cessfully carry on their business. Thc com "mittcc promise to consider the matter, but "it is not probable they wlH reverse their "former action." t'oet ono ienn?. FOUND, NEAR ST.
