She was unmanageable, and must have foundered in the gale-aU her boats having probably been swept away before the peril was seen to be imminent. -General Butler proposes to abolish the income tax, and "all other internal taxation," and to substitute a new series or taxes.

He would also tax all "pro pirty, estates in succession, legacies or deeds of 3J??V' to the extent of one per cent. He proposes | to pura tax or five per cent, on every railroad ticket, telegraph message and express package, and to reorganize the system of taxations as ap? plied to spirits, tobaccos and other articles. -A New York letter of Tuesday says : "Thc Federal authorities here have begun to manifest considerable curlosty as to Fenian movements. Within a day or two past, a certain manufactory of arms, at Trenton, N. J., has been under sur veillance, but whether any Important discoveries have been made, it is difficult to say. Herc in the city a good deni of.old time activity is visible among the Feu'.?ns themselves, but their opera? tions are cond'toted with a great deal ot' secresy. The report is that General O'Neil is to head^ thc new raid into Canada. Meanwhile, the eight li Congress of the Fenian Brotherhood is ia session at Masonic Hall. East .Thirteenth street. About three hundred delegates were present, including representatives from many ol' the Eastern and Western States. An armed guard ls stationed at the door and reporters are carefully excluded. The talk among outsiders is that tho action of the Chicago Congress in naming an executive com? mittee to supplant General O'.N'ell and the Sen? ate, will be of no etfect. Also, that O'Neil will send lu a special message declaring his readi? ness to make an immediate movement upon the border. During the afternoon a council of war was held at headquarters in West Fourth st? et. The Savage wing of the Brotherhood takes no part in these proceediugs. An Urgent Weed. It has been roughly computed that each immigrant arriving in this country.is an addition of a thousand dollars in means and muscle to the resource.? of the State in which he settles. All such estimates must of course be only approximative, as based upon partial and variable data. Yet grant? ing that so low a figure is tolerably exact, it will show how immense a profit tho North and West have derived from this source alone. Mr. Seaman computes tho increase to the population of the Union, from foreign parts, during Hie ten years embraced between Junel, 1S40, and June I, 1850, as 1,940,000. This increase would represent an addition of nearly two thousand millions to the wealth of the republic Nor would the amoant be se? riously abated by striking out the 100,000 inhabitants added to the census by the ac? quisition of Texas, California and New Mexico. The immense proportion of immigrants has been appropriated by the Northern and Western Sutes. To those regions com? mercial agents, enterprising capitalists, and bureaus and commissioners of immigration have invited the foreigner. In the mean? time the South remained satisfied with its hereditary influeuce in the General Govern? ment, its sparse population and its patri? archal system of labor. Nor has there been any other response thau an occasional news? paper article or a haughty silence, when the most atrocious scandals were instilled into tlie laboring classes of England and the Cont iuent. It is a fact well known to our German r?llow-citizens that for many years past the minds of their countrymen were very gene? rally poisoned against us. And multitudes, to-day, although they have been in corres? pondence with their kindred at tiie South, are incredulous when assured that a poor German coming tb the warm side of the national hue is not at once thrust into a state of slavery. Of course this delusion is drifting away under the new regime. Lut the accounts of Southern outrages, which that sensational quack, Mr. Drake, is manufacturing, nre de? vised for tlie purpose of producing the same effect as the antiquated libels about immigrant slavery. Let the fears of the peaceful foreiguer who seeks a trans-Atlantic home bc excited ; let him apprehend that the South is in a chronic state of turbulence and bloodshed: waru him that "the unreconstructed rebels" are hopeful of reducing the laboring classes to slavery; and he will sheer away from our borders, preferring to cast his lot in a more quiet, ifless genial clime, li is easy to see how strong are the motives, both political and financial, which stimulate tue lyint' in? ventions of the Radical ring in abbington, and their salaried and pluudering abettors in the Southern States. Were the facts re? lating to our social state and our material resources made known ni Europe, there would at once be a diversion of that mighty tide of life which has enriched the North and West. It is, therefore, with high anticipations that we prepare to welcome the convention appointed to assemble in our city on the 3d of Maj'. The encouragement of immigra? tion is one of the most prominent themes that wiil engage the attention of that body. Local societies, like that over which Mr. Boinest presides, have already inaugurated the raovemeut. Other States are actively represented by agents in Europe. The Southern press hus spokeu. Foreign colo? nies already begin to arrive. Tlie bureaus of immigration in North Curolina, Virginia and Kentuck}', are already reaping the first fruits of their toil iu this field. The ad? vance guards of the Saxon race begin to appear in Texas, in Alabama, in South Caro? lina. Within the last five months fifteen thousand newly arrived foreigners passed through Memphis. And now is the time for the merchants and planters of South Caroliua to inaugurate such measures iu thl3 department, as shall replenish our sparse population, as shall bring under culture our unoccupied lands, as shall re? plenish our exhausted treasury-such meas? ures, in short, as our exigencies and our fame conspire to demand. For this end mere resolutions will not suf? fice. We need organization, liberality, sa? gacity, and, above all, work ! .'Count Us In:" The Winnsboro' News, iu noticing a state? ment made in this paper, that the "CITIZENS' "REFORM PARTIT is uot actively opposed to "tlie administration of General Grant,'"says: "We rejoice over thi3 announcement. If the June Convention will adopt as Hs Federal policy the following resolution, 'Resolved, that tlie Citizens' Reform Parly is not organ? ized in opposition to General Grunt's adminis? tration, but in opposition to extravagance and corruption in State laxatiou and expenditure,' wc, ns a Grant journal, promise ll our most cordial support."' The Citizens' Reform Party is no more "actively opposed" to National Republican? ism than it is "actively opposed" to National Democracy. What we waut, and desire, is a State organization which shull fight against extravagance and corruption in tlie admin? istration of our State affairs, and shall ena? ble us to obtain au equal, an able and an economical governmcut. We still think that Federal politics need not enter into the can? vass; but we have no objection whatever to a plain declaration that the new party is not orgauized in opposition to Republican? ism, but in opposition to fraud and waste. Such a resolution, if adopted by tlie June Convention, might materially strengthen our position, and would certainly mee', with our cordial approbation. j Thc Richings Opera Troupe. During th^amusemeut seaao^^w draw? ing towardllts close, the Charleston public 'bas listened to nearij-every kind of musical entertainment. The artistic concert has followed the lyric drama, which, in time, has made way for tragic opera, and ali have reached, in their different spheres, a high standard of excellence. But one niche is still unfilled, and must so remain, until we have an operatic company which can per? form with completeness those lighter operas which are usually rendered in English. For? tunately, however, the Richings troupe, which makes ita appearance at tho Academy of Music on Monday night, can give the lovers of opera the one thing they need, and prit upon the stage the most popular opera3 of the day with a thoroughness and attention to details surpassing anything which has been seen in this city since the close of thc war; For the proper representation of an opera something more than good solo singing is required. Even the melodious warbling of a Brignoli can not compensate for the loss of a well-trained orchestra and "chorus. Unless each part is balanced and supported by the others, the opera must fail in producing its full effect, and nothing is more disenchant? ing than tho three timid singers, with the solo violin and noisy piano, which are usual? ly palmed off as an orchestra and a chorus on the pleasure-seekers of the benighted South. The Richings troupe, on the other hand, has no serious shortcomings. The principal singers are experiencedartists, whose excellent style aud charming voices make them favorites wherever they go; anti the orchestra and chorus arc large in num? bers, and so well drilled, that every voice and every instrument does its full share in giving unity anil point to the performance. T!ie merit of the company Ls, indeed, proved sufficiently by the one fact "that it has had a highly successful engagement in New Or? leans, where it conquered public approval in the face of so powerful a competitor as the French opera, with tts able director, admira? ble troupe anil established reputation. The Richings Opera Troupe, judging hy what we hear and what we have seen, is in opera what the Laura Keene troupe is in come dv and domestic drama, and will, we doubt not, whet the dull edge of public appetite, and excite au iuterest and admiration which will strengthen and increase from the mo? ment that its accomplished artists make their bow upon our boards. Governor Scott wi ll Please Do his Duty. The Charleston Radicals held a mass meet? ing on Wednesday night. It is true that the meeting was not strong in number or in en? thusiasm, but it did its duty and passed the resolutions cut and dried for it by the wet nurses of the party. The last resolution adopted is as follows : Resolved, by the Republicans of Charleston, in mass meeting assembled. That having: heard the Hon. B. F. Whittemore speak in lils own defence, wc are satisfied that lie has performed no act unworthy of an honorable man or a faithful public servant; and we would most earnestly appeal to his Excellency, Governor R. K. Scott, to order an election lor Congress? man in the First Congressional District at an early day, as an act ot justice to the Hon. B. F. \N littlemore, feeling assured that he will bo returned triumphantly to his seat in Congress, to battle lhere faithfully ia -he future, as In the past, for the rights of the people. This is surely coonah to wash out thc S:;16 of Whlttemore though he were thrice ns wicked as he is, and this ''honorable man'' and "faithful public servant" very properly demands that an election be ordered at once, so that he may be returned to Congress be? fore the close of thc 6C35iou. Why does Governor Scott hans back? Whittemore is either strong, ot* he is weak. If he is strong, put him up for re-election, before the fire kindled by his burniug words is altogether ex? tinguished. If he ts weak, put him before the people, so that they may have the opportu? nity of choosing a better man. It is verd? un kind of Governor Seo,.. .0 dilly-dally in this way-unless he sincerely believes that Whittemore is a disgrace to the party and should not have a chance of re-election. Iii can? rs Ahead. Thc Chester Reporter says that a gentle? man of intelligence and character, who was travelling on the road from Philadelphia to Washington, about a month ago, took a seat iu the cars by the side of a man from Har? risburg, Pennsylvania. A conversation sprang up between the two, and in the course of the day he of Pennsylvania became quite communicative. Finding out that his companion was from this State, lie told him that be had not long before become ac? quainted with the fact that a banking ring had been formed to operate in Columbia, S. C. ; that the capital to operate on would be the treasury of South Carolina, and thc fuuds in the hands of United States officials; and wound up by saying, "they intend to "give your State funds-.;' The inform? ant of the Reporter was impressed with the fact, that the gentleman from Pennsylvania knew what he was talking about, from the familial- acquaintance he had with the names of persons, and circumstances that had hap? pened in this State. The same gentleman also said that the $75,000 paid out la3t year to certain parties, in consideration of the said parties releasiu? the State from its Blue Ridge Railroad con? tract, so as to enable tho bond ring to balloon the bonds of the State which the said con? tract had enabled them to force down, had proved a groat bone of contention among the harpies to whom it was paid, and that one of the injured persons had brought suit for tho recovery of hi3 share.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PRICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the A m encan pub? lic, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a elty or town of any note in the country into which they have not fOT.*' :"<>elr way. The reason of this wi: ?'spread ;>opularity 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 arm 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 Va ul il a Beans. In short, we think lt the best that is made, at least, this is the decision of the best Judges in the coun? try. We don't pretend te compete ut price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of toe day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving of the name. For quality and style, we defy comietltlon.
