A New York letter, of the 15th Instant, says : .Toongn the disposition is. to ridicule '.is alarm of thc Canadian?, as to another Fenian raid, as groundless, yet certain events arc quietly trans? piring herc, in connection with the Fenian Con? vention at Chicago, which lead to the conclusion that Slr John McDonald ls not beating about lu the dark. It is not the business of your corres? pondent to say what those events are. but simply to say, that, If nothing untoward happen, the newspapers will have some lively intelligence to print before long." -Tte horrible decree ha3 suddenly gone forth that " loag dresses " ara to be the vogue.

But lt ls Impossible for aay ratioaal person .not to moura In secret over the impending, change. -At-Fall River, Mass., oa Deeember 10, a man, whUe eating his breakfast, got a needle in his throat. It lodged crosswise, but was too far down to be seen. Arter three or four days it worked into the left side, and came, nearly through the neck, causing a painful abscess. A little above the abscess the needle Was so near the surface that it caused the flesh to protrude like a pimple, bnt the physicians declined to cut to find lt, cs pecially as they had some doubt as to tue can*e. The abscess was subsequently lanced. Tic needle In the meantime worked bock Into the side of the throat, and then up under the tongue, causing great swelling and pain. Finally, en April 3. it was discovered protruding under th2 tongue, and was extracted. The needle was a.i Inch und a quarter long, and had been four months ou :t? travels. -A New York letter, of Friday Ia3t, says: -A I very unseemly quarrel is going on between toe High awl Low Church Episcopalians concerning a charitable Institution, called the Sheltering Arms, In this city. Next week a bazaar ls to be opened for its benefit, bnt the Low Churchmen, alleging that the institution was under the con? trol of an an tl-Protestant sisterhood (the Sister? hood of St. Mary.) have compelled the latter.to resign. The parties taking part in the bazaar movement embrace many of the wealthiest and most Influential families tn ihe city, and the above proceedings naturally occasion much ex? citement among them- Part of the accasatlon against the Sisters was. that they practiced auri? cular confession, and had Rev. Dr. Dix (chaplain of the institution) for their confessor. Thc High Chnrch people are expressing themselves very emphatically with reference to tnis flank move ment, at the bottom of which they say are thc two Tyngs and Rev. John Cotten Smith; but what they arc going to do abont lt remains to be seen. The bazaar (ir nothing happens) will be Inaugu? rated on Tuesday evening next." Thc Crucial Test. The rapidity with which South Carolina bonds and stocks have advanced in price daring the last two years is a huge feather in the cap of the present administration; and the literary retainers ?f the State offi? cials have trumpeted abroad with diligent care their purchased praises of the financial lights of the part)-. It is true that here in South Carolina there has been an amazing want of confidence in the ability or the hon? esty of the persons who negotiated loan3, and disbursed the revenues of the State; but to every murmuring objection the smashing reply is made, that "South Carolina bonds "were thirty or forty or fifty when Governor "Scott was elected, and are now eighty and "ninety and well on the way to par." The people remembered the way in which the Bauk of the State bills were bought for a song by the State officials, and then con? verted into State bonds worth seventy aud eighty cents on the dollar. They bore in mind a thousand shifts and strat agems which did not smack of candid dealing. But they could not convince the venal speculator that the price of State bond3 might be highest at the very moment that the financial resources of the State were at the lowest ebb. With the public, the proof of good government was to be, not low taxation, constant employment and a prosperous agriculture and commerce, but an advance in the market price of South Carolina bends. It mattered nothing that, for speculative reasons, the interest on the f debt should be made payable in coin, or that a large amount of bond3 should be. with? drawn from the market to be deposited by insurance companies as collateral securities. Thc rise in price was declared to be the pure and natural consequence of the integrity and skill of Governor Scott and his advisers. But while State bonds are ballooned to the nineties, the people are oppressed with taxa? tion. The report ls circulated that Eiorrr MILLION DOLLARS is added to the State debt in one year, and this startling fact seems to be confirmed by what facts are in possession of the publie. Take the State debt two years ago aa $6,000,000. Add to this a contin? gent liability of 64,000,000 for the Blue Ridge Railroad, a direct liability of 8700,000 for the bonds issued to the Land Commis? sion, and $1,250,000 issued to redeem the bills of the Bank of the State. This makes a total of SH,930,000, exclusive of bonds ot tho Stftto to. tho auouul uf 52,700,000 hold by the financial agent of the State at the date of the last official statement, anr* excluding, also, $300,000 in bonds sold '-y the financial agent, and not reported in tie accounts for the last fiscal year. All these amounts together would make a total of $14,950,000 as the outstanding State debt, being an increase of more than EIGHT MIL? LIONS in two years. It is unjnst, however, in a mat? ter so important, to pin one's faith to popular rumor, and we owe strict justice even to Governor Scott and his co-* conspirators. Unfortunately, little confi? dence is reposed in even their official asser? tions, but we may, without doing them wrong, subject the popular belief to thc crucial tee* of a strict comparison with the formal printed statements of the present Comptroller-GeueraL In his statements of the indebtedness of South Carolina, contain? ed in his report for 1869, (pogo SC,) the Comptroller-General does not include the $2,700,000 of State bonds pawned by the Financial Agent The statement of "the "debtors and creditors of the State of South "Carolina," which pretends to show the whole amount due to, and due by, tiie State, furnish? es, then, the best means of ascertaining our real financial condition. Comparing the ehief sums due by the State, according to the report of 18CS, (pages 22 to 35,) and the report of 1S60, (page 23,) we have the follow? ing results: DEBT OK THE STATE.

The Jan? Convention. In order that the Convention, proposed by the Anti-Radical Press Conference, to be held in Columbia in June nest, may repre? sent, as fully a5 is practicable, all the peo? ple of the State, it is suggested that each county send twice as many delegates as thc number of its representatives in both branch? es of the General Assembly. Thi3 will en? able every class and every interest to have its faithful and trusted spokesmen in one assembly, whose deliberations will be di? rected to securing for South Carolina the RE? TRENCHMENT and REFORM which every up? right citizen so earnestly desires. Reviews. DEBENUAM'S VOW. A Novel. By Aurelia B. Edwards. Illus! rated. New York : Harper & Brothers. 1870. Temple Debenham or De Benham, as he linds out he has a right to be called, is in? troduced to the reader as the organist of a small parish church in London. He falls in love with a beautiful girl, the (laughter of an artist of good repute; but after he finds out-through the tardy confidence of his mother and sole surviving parent-of what stock iie came, he gives up his betrothed and obliterates all other "trivial, fond re? cords'' from his mind, which he henceforth devotes with indomitable resolution to amass money to buy back his ancestral estates. This he accomplishes, to a certain extent, by running the blockade into Charleston harbor during the Confederate civil war. At all events, lie makes ?60,000, which is a fair beginning. This sum, however, is in? sufficient, and his health having been bro? ken down by exposure and a wound received in recapturing his steamer from a prize crew put on board by the Federal man-of-war that had taken her, ' De Benham, now known as the lord of that name, marries the enor? mously rich sister of a London merchant The lady engages to assist him in restoring the old castle of his forefathers, buying back their lands and refounding, as it were, their ancient line. Al! rans smoothly to consum? mation, so far as the money and the nuptials go; but the hero's health is sadly affected, and on his wedding day he breaks down and has a lingering illness. He ultimately recovers, and feels the hollowness and insuffi? ciency of the prizes for which he lias strug? gled; but although his wife learns to love im, "the two who had vowed to become one 'fiesh went on their long journey, together yet divided, wedded yet strangers." The girl whom he abandoned marries his intimate friend, and is filled with happiness; willie they whom the world thought most fortu? nate are the least to be envied. The story'is well put together and contains some strong and spirited writing. Here and there the author trips in describing Charles? ton, and the language and habits of the Southern people. These, however, are not malicious blunders, and do not keep "De "benhau's Vow" froinbeiug one of the most graphic, sprightly and interesting uovels of the day. Sold in Charleston by E. Perry, Meeting street. Price 75 cents. WHTTTBHORE ?3 scandalously disrespect? ful in spooking of tho Republicans who dare to oppose the "clerical culprit," who is de? clared by Congress unworthy to represent the people. "Whittemore calls Mr. Feriter, 'Cotton-bill" Feriter, vows that John Chestnut, a colored member of the Legisla? ture, was drunk, and epeaks of Senator Rainey as "one negro who entered into a "harangue of personal abuse." No wonder that Senator Wimbu3h, himself a colored man, branded thc clerical culprit a? "a vil? lain aud base liar." EX-CONGRESSMAN- Whittemore, in a speech delivered at Lancaster Courthouse, com? plained that "at Cheraw two hundred and "fifty armed rebels, with clicking pistols, "took possession of the meeting." This beats Falstaff all to pieces. Oat cf two gallants the fat Knight made "eleven men in liuck "ram," but out a score of unarmed citizens the timorous Whittemore makes "two hundred "and fifty armed rebels''-with clicking pis? tols to boot. OUT. Washington correspondent advises us that a bill has been introduced in ' thc United States Senate, by .Mr. Sprague, for the return, to the owner, of a plantation in St. Luke's Parish, sold under the direct lax law. The owner is to p ty thc tax, with ten per cent, interest and fifteen per cent, penalty. WE regret to learn thc appropriation of twenty thousand dollars for the Sisters of Mercy hangs fire in the Senate. The pros? pect of its passage is said to be very slight. t'ost ano Sonnb.
