' . .. : ".. -, '.: . : . . :?| -A New York letter,, of Tuesday, says: "An lu 'ternyng, even t or the day was the sin k la g of t he arrcat Eas t'River bridge caisson, on the Brooklyn aide, a^oat no*n, in the pr?sense ef aa immense ^wd;PfiSPfBcutprs. The ealaion ls a massive structure of heavy yellow pine timbers, each thir- ' .teen Inches- itv, diameter. It ls ruteen feet in -depth, one hundred ard sixty-eight feet long, and ene hundred''and- two feet' wide. The bottom \ timbers are laid solidly together. There ls a ?arge chamber below, and an engine on the caisson was perpetually al work to force air toto the hollow ?jpaccjand^pel - the water, in .order to keep the mass afloat unt'^ lt should reack its destination. A dock has beenfount into 'which the caisson ls precisely titted. Tao s trac ture was covered'o ver With iron cabooses, loose, timber and wooden fcu?dlng^ and was. hauled Jut 0 place by means .r ropes and capstan* jhie ground on which lt rest ?Llf?gfcteen feet below water ar high tide. Excavations, will 'now bb carried on. below this ?alsaoa untu it la sunk seven feet deeper, and, at the same time, eight layers Of transverse timbers <adUheDUed.npoarit. It wiu then be precisely even wi^h the surface water at high tide, and from that totefisthe granite masonry work wUi begin, as a basis fer-the great power of the Abridge." ' '? _ -Bl??om Rock, a most dangerous obstruction In San Francisco harbor, is supposed to ?a?e been Kowai Jato fragments. Twenty-three -.ons of powder were used for this most novel undertak? ing, Md when lt was toiehed off, the water, ap .pareuUy loo feet to diameter, was thrown to the heght or, a bout lop feet, the centre b?ing ulled with smoke and Bt ones. Between 60,000 and 60,000 people witnessed the explosion, which took place .a the-??3d ult. The shock was scarcely per? ceptible^ to'the city ?roper, only a deep thud accompanying the blast. The. steans adopted for th> removal cr the obstructions are said to be entirely new in submarine blasting. The rock waa six re?t bejow the surface at low tide, and situated where the water roUed ?ver lt in psweiina swans and with great rowe. ? vf at er-Uga t copper.,, dam'was built around that part of the rook through whick the shaft was to be aunt. Whoa lt had reached a certain depth a small cylinder was placed "inside the original turret, which ; made -the 'hoisting of the ballast from below more convenient. The object was to scoop ont the centre of the rock, producing a cavity inside, measuring in the clear, from the highest point to the bottom, twenty-five feet. The space measured in the clear 140 by so feet, and lt ls estimated that abont 40,000 cubic feet of stone were taken out. The shape of the surraee of the rock was nearly oral, but for a distance of abont 120 feet sloped very little. The stone was a porous sandstone. Tv hen struck with a ham? mer lt fell to pieces readily and revealed a series of seams maning through it. Of the twenty-three tons bf powder used, abont half was contained in English ale casks, double coated, with a heavy pitch varnish inside and outside, so as to be water-proof- The other hair of the powder was in seven boiler tanks of wrought iron, firmly bolted, the largest measuring eight feet in length and two in dlamter. A perforated piece of gas pipe two and a half feet in length, charged with line gunpowder, ran into the barrel from each end, and a piece six feet long into the boilers, charged the same way. These different tabes were connected wita insulated electrical wires, which passed from one barrel to another, the end la each tube cons ls ting of a fulminatiog cartridge. At a given signal the electric spark was sent forth, resulting in a decided sucoesss, while the effect produced by the explosion was really grand. The flutter among the finny tribe must have been fearful. _ The Work of tlx Convention. The work of the Agricultural and Immi? gration Convention, which adjourned on Thursday, divided itself naturally into two classes-the preparation of reports upon subjects of practical importance, and the consideration and adoption of plans of action foaaded apon the facts and arguments sub? mitted to the body. i The reports received by the Convention i covered the great questions of Immigration and Direct Trade with Europe, Cotton Man? ufactures in the South, the Hygienic Condi? tion of South Carolina and Charleston, Sci? entific Education and Chinese Labor. Other reports were In preparation, but were not completed when the Convention brought its labors to a close. The topics which occupied the greater part of the time of the Convention were Im migratiOD, Direct Trade and Cotton Manu? factures. The first two-subjects were really considered and discussed together. The recommendations of the Committee on Im? migration included the establishment of direct steam communication with Europe, the establishment of low rates of railway transportation from Charleston to the ex? treme Northwest, the establishment of immi? gration societies along the proposed line of immigrant travel the formation in South Carolina of immigration societies for the settlement of immigrants upon free farms, the: establishment in Charleston of a Board of Immigration, to provide- for the comfort and accommodation of immigrants arriving at this port, and the encouragement and pr?paration O? publications showing the ad van loges to immigrants, as well as to our? selves, of a settlement in South Carolina. These matters- were debated with care, and the remarks of the speakers, nearly without exception, indicated that the people of the State would welcome the industrious immi? grant as his thrift and his honesty and hi3 intelligence deserved. It was shown that the white immigrants would receive farms, free of all cost, adapted to their own habits and 'to the wants of their families. The .immigrant would be well cared for'from the moment that he left his native land- South Carolina would open wide her arms to re? ceive him. Bat ii he preferred to go further and settle in the West, he would be treated with as much regard for his person and wel? fare as though he had pledged himself to reta ai u upon -our soil The gates would be thrown L-nen. Ch artest on should be the port of landing for the vast stream of white im? migration, and in time there would remain with us as much of the brain and muscle of -the Old World as the most sanguine could desire. No narrow spirit would govern the treatment of the white immigrant. Coming here as a free man, ready and able to work, ,and with a fair share of culture, he would deserve to be, and would be, taken hythe band as a free citizen of a free State; as one whose interests, like our own, lie wholly on the side of honesty and good government .We do not fear that South Carolina will be made German or Irish or English by any pouring in of immigrants. As a Northern delegate from Georgia said, on the lloor of the Convention, "No matter where a man .bornes from. Only get him to settle upon ."your land, feeling that he has an interest "In-it, and he will become a Georgian or a "South Carolinian in less than a year. If his "money is there, his heart will be there and "his politics will be there." These were the words of a New Englander who settled in Georgia after the war, and who, "if capital "cannot control labor, will find the reason "why." And lt any class of immigrants, the Germans, for instance, desire to have schools and newspapers and churches of their own, why should they not have them? They will be one in interest with us, and if thc heart beats right and the head is clear and the arm is strong, it matters not whether the tongue is laden with the gutturals of Germany, the cadent vowels of Italy, or the tripping accents of France. We are not prepared to say that South Carolinians have nothing to learn. On the .contrary, they can learn something useful from the German and the Irishman and the Englishman. And to each one of them the South Carolinian can give something in return. Only in this way, by giving and taking, can we make our whole people strong and vigorous in thought add in action. And if tens of thousands of Teutons swarm into the State, so much the better. If they can do, for all South Caro? lina, what they have already done for this fair city, their coming will be a happy and fortunate event for all our people. The subject of Direct Trade with Europe was. not discussed at any length by the committee, and was quickly disposed of. The report on Cotton Manufactures brought to light the startling fact that yarns can be manufactured in South Carolina, be trans? ported to the North, pay a commission of five per cent, for selling, be sold at the cost of Northern yarns, and yield a net profit of five cents a pound. Again, the Saluda Fac? tory of this State, in April, 18C??, shipped a lot of No. 20 yarn to Manchester, England. These yarns sold at lGd., which was equal to 43J cents United States currency.?" The total cost of the yarn3, including freights and commissions, was 39 i cents, leaving a net profit of -U cents a pound. We repeat, and the report submitted to the convention confirms our statement, that South Carolina can manufacturo cotton yarns, and certain classes of colored goods better, and far more cheaply, than they"can"?e made-in New England or Old England. We can meet Manchester on even ground, and we can make a large profit at prices which would drive the Rhode Island mills into bankruptcy. The action of .the Convention was briefly this: 1. It was recommended that a com? pany be formed for the establishment of a permanent line of freight and immigrant steamships, to run between Charleston and a European port. A committee of mer? chants and business men was appointed to receive subscriptions. The cost of four steamers will be about $800,000. And it is considered certain that the capital for one steamer can be raised at once, and the remainder as it may be required. One half, at least, of the capital stock is ex? pected to be taken in Europe, and our rail? road companies will make liberal subscrip? tion?. 2. A committee waa authorized to be appointed to give effect to the report of the Committee on Immigration. 3. A cordial invitation was extended to all persons, in the Northern States and elsewhere, desirous of settling in South Carolina. 4. It was recommended that a joint stock company be formed, for the purpose of introducing Chi? nese labor where that labor can be mest I profitably used.' Nothing was done in re? gard to cotton manufactures beyond adopt? ing the report of that committee. Tbat re? port, if spread broadcast over the land, will do the work. The deliberations of the Convention were quiet, and, in general, harmonious. It did a good work; one whose effects will be felt, .we trust, throughout the whole breadth and length of the State. But this one thing must not be lost sight of. The action of the Convention will fall dead and flat, unless the people take hold of its suggestions with a will and give to them all the force of their money, as well as their hearty support. And, lastly, no immigration, no direct trade can help South Carolina unless we REFORM the government of the State. Two years more of the Scott administration would kill South Carolina so dead that neither white immigrants nor direct steamships could, in our life-time, raise the State into a new life of prosperity and peace. Still they Come : A Convention of the people of Kershaw County will be held in Camden on the 6tb June, to elect delegates to the State Reform Convention which assembles in Columbia on June 15th. The citizens of Marlboro' County will meet at the Courthouse on the first Monday in June, to elect delegates to the Reform Con? vention. THE North Carolina Conservatives will form their plan of battle on the 15th June, the day of the assembling of the South Caro? lina Reform Convention. The Executive Committee, in their address, say: "Consci "ous or the great importance of victory, "and believing it to be within the reach of j " the Conservatives of the State, we entreat "all who favor Reform and Retrenchment " in our State affairs to unite with us in re? storing to North Carolina an honest and .'economical government." Retrenchment and Reform, Justice 'and Equal Rights these are the watchwords in North Carolina as in the Palmetto State. "O.VE WHO KNOWS" says that $40,000, and .not $25,000, was paid to Senator Leslie for resigning the office of Land Commissioner. This statement is made anonymously, and we shall be glad if the ex-Land Commission? er will say, for the benefit of posterity, what was the "Demnition total." THE report of Dr. Eli Geddings upon the ,geography, geological characteristics and hygienic conditions of Charleston and South Carolina, is a thorough and painstaking pa? per, and embodies, we doubt not, the results of many years of experience and thought. It will be read with great interest both at home and abroad. ?ost ano ionno.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. GREAT REDUCTION IN PBICES. QUALITY STILL FURTHER IMPROVED. We beg leave respectfully to c&U the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracts. AS ten years have new elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of thc American pub llc, we deem lt unnecessary at present to enter Into a lengtby description of their merits, Ac There is hardly a elty or town ot any note In the country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and dally Increasing demand is owing entirely to. their peculiar excellence and Intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of tbe day, we have still further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Onr Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract or Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that ls made, at least, this ls 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. DAVIS A MILLER'S PURE YEAST POWDER.
