Address RIORDAN, DAWSON A CO., No. 149 East Bay, Charleston, S. C. Wit QfyxfkgUn 3fett>? FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1870. URION REFORM NOMINATIONS. For Governor, HON. R. B. CARPENTER, OF CHARLESTON. For Lieutenant-Governor, GENERAL M. C. BUTLER, OF EDGEFIELD. NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at New York at 13. -The New York cotton market closed duli at 21'c; sales KOO bales. -At Liverpool cotton was firmer; uplands 10>10Ad; sales 10,000 bales. ' -The French Academy has found several plants as sensitive to chloroform as animals. -At Indlarfola, Texas, they are selling fresh water at a dollar a bucket. - A line of steamers from Stettin, Germany, to New York, will soon begin operations. -The life insurance people are announcing that Charles Dickens had a large policy of in su?nce upon hts life. -General O'Neil, it ls said, wants $100,000 damages out of the United States for his re . cent arrest during the Fenian raid. .-The Japanese ore getting up a navy in European style, and an English naval officer of celebrity is to organize an admiralty depart? ment, -Very nice kid gloves can now be bought In Paris at retail for two francs. The manu? facturers of French kid gloves are in despdir, I they having overstocked the market for a long time to come, so that the prices, there ls every reason & believe, will go still further down. . . -A correspondent who has been to see Beecher at Plymouth Church, says he cannot "disclaim the advantages he derives from his pocket handkerchief.- He has no beard to stroke," no moustache to caress,and he has not yet" contracted the Congressional habit of thrusting his hands in his own pockets-or other peoph a--nor ot\sliding them in his bosom, nor hanging his thumbs from the arm boles of his Jacket. But facile, def and sym? pathetic as are his gestures, his eloquent hand tilks, lhere are times when the text demands no gesticulation, and then comes in the Adi . power of the handkerchief. Automatically the busy fingers roll up a corner, measure thc hem, tug at the texture, and the next moment the hand swallows the whole square of cam? bric in one energetic, clinching gesture. It ls transferred lrom one hand to the other; is ca? ressed, crushed, unfurled, and may safely be called the banner of the Plymouth pulpit." -Dr. Franklin, lt ls well known, gained great praise for wearing an ordinary plain suit, instead of a gold embroidered court cos? tume, when formally presented to King Louis XVI. Da reference to this anecdote, Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his note-book, Just published, states that be was told by an aged lady, In England, that the circumstance above men? tioned arose from the fact that Franklin's tai? lor disappointed him of his court suit, and that . he wore hlsapjkln one with great reluctance, because he had no other. Frank'in, lt is said, having by his mishap made a successful Im? pression, continued to wear his plain dress through policy. Is this another dissipation of a pleasant piece of history, like the destruction qf the story of Pocahontas, and the fine heroic drama in which William Tell figured so hand omely ? -The opening concert of the Beethoven Centennial Festival, which took place In New York on Monday night, was a great success. The audience was estimated at 14,000, a very large portion of them being ladles. The front of the rink In which the festival was held was ablaze with light, calcium gas gets casting an unwonted glare opposite the entrance. With? in the ensemble was striking. The greatest ingenuity has been exercised to light it to the best effect, and the disposition of the immense chorus, consisting of quite 2000 voices, upon which two calciums threw a mellowed light, was exceeding fine. The second piece of the programme was the aria and chorale uIn flammatus," from the "Stabat Mater** of Rossini, sung bj Madame Parepa Rosa and the entire choral force of two thousand voices. - Remembering what a brilliant success Mme. Rosa met with xxi Boston by the performance of this aria in a building three times the size of this one, there was no doubt of her achiev? ing a still greater victory here. She was hailed in the most vocilerous manner by the vast au? dience, oheer after cheer ringing and volleying in great waves along the auditorium. The performance of this well-known piece brought out all the best qualities of Mme. Rosa's voice. With no perceptible effort, she filled the building with her clear cornet tones, and flung out the final C over Instruments, chorus, and all, as no other singer probably COnJd do it. It was followed by aburst o? genuine enthusiasm, the audience Insisting on a repeti? tion of it, and again rewarding her with the mo3t demonstrative applause. Then came Mendelssohn's grand chorale, "Glory be to God," from uElijah," Dr. James Pech conduct? ing. In Hila there was the first real indication of the vocal strength of the chorus. Admir? ably performed as lt was under the baton of Dr. Pech, the 2000 voices did not create that volume of sound which their numbers promis? ed. What, however, was deficient in massive? ness and strength, was more than compensat? ed In compactness and alacrity. In the "Star Spangled Banner," announced on the pro? gramme variously as a grand patriotic hymn and a national anthem,.Mme. Parepa-Rosa sung the solo part, and the entire assembly of per? formers took up the chorus. The effect was of a Fourth of July order, and was intensified by the battery of guns, which marked with their crush the emphatic note in each strain. Al? though this was a repetition of the Boston ex? periment, it met with Ute same success, and was rcdemanded. As a musical expedient it does not seem to improve thc national an? them, which, with this warlike accentation, may be rendered thus: 'Tis thestar-splamrled (boom) banner, O lone may lt (smash) wave, O'er the land of the (bang) free, And the home of the (rip) brave. Nevertheless, lt must be acknowledged that a battery of guns will produce a hit that no mere musical instruments can effect, and as an advertisement nothing can be louder. Oar Candidates in the Field. We have pleasant tidings from Columbia. The Convention has promptly done its work and adjourned. The Union Reform Party of South Carolina is now fairly launched upon the political waters. It i3 a good ship, with staunch and well set timbers; and we re I joice that it has been officered by men of strong sense, undoubted pluck and indomi? table energy, who will spare no effort to make the voyage safe and prosperous Judge H. B. Carpenter, the nominee for Governor, is a Kentuckian, an earnest and consistent Republican, and an ex-Colonel in the Federal Army. The high reputation for ability and worth which he had previ? ously won in this community, ha3 increased in marked degree since he has worn the ju? dicial robes ; and it is a signal evidence of the confidence reposed in him by his fellow citizens, that in a great public emergency like the present, all eyes should have been directed to him, by a common impulse, as the leader, of all others, under whom wc can march forward, with well-founded confi? dence, to the speedy and certain redemption of the State. General M. C. Butler, who is Judge Car? penter's colleague on the Union Reform tick? et, is a South Carolinian of the old school ; and bis well-earned laurels as a gallant and trusted Confederate officer, will be an im? portant element of strength to our cause. In giving us such standard-bearers, upon a platform so broad, so honest, and so full of practical good sense, the Convention has done its whole duty. It remains for our people at once to organize in every county and township throughout the State, and to do thew duty in the great contest that is be? fore us, The City Debt-Its Legality about to b e Tested in the Courts. We learn that the Advisory Committee ap? pointed at the meeting of the city taxpayers, held a week or two ago, have retained Messrs. A. G. Magrath and L. W. Spratt, to test in the courts the legality of the city debt It is thought that the question will be brought up for adjudication at an early day. In the meantime, however, we understand that steps are to be taken to prevent the payment by the city of the principal or in? terest of the debt until the question is de? cided. Cotton Seed n* Food. - The importance of cotton seed as a cheap and nutritious food for livestock, ?3 a subject which is daily attracting more and more of the attention of our planters and farmers. Dr. Francis Peyro Porcher, in his "Resour? ces of tnii Southern Fields and Forests, "page 110, remarks: "Cotton seed cake is worth more than corn or wheat, pound for pound, lo feed mules und hogs on a cotton plantation. It contains more of the muscle, sinew and bone-forming matter. il has less starch than corn, but is a healthier food than either peas, beans, wheat or maize. ****** c0Lt.on seed meal and corn meal, if applied directly to hay that is fed in fattening animals, instead of the latter being fed alone and dry, and tho corn unground would add vastly to the profits of fatten? ing. * * * * ? * Linseed cake is well known both in Europe and Uti- country, as a valuable food for cattle, and as an excellent fertilizer, worth from forty to fifty dollars per ton. On examining my cotton seed cake, I found lt possessed a sweet and agreeable fla? vor, and was much more pure and clean than linseed oil cake." The Rural Carolinian, speaking on the same subject says : ? "Cotton seed oil cake as a flesh producer, and therefore as food for growing, or for labor? ing animals, is probably superior to the grains, according to the experiments ot Mr. Lawes, the distinguished English agriculturist. The manure of stock fed on cotton seed cake is thirty times more valuable than manure from an equal weight of turnips, and four times more valuable than that trotn an equal weight of Indian corn." The same excellent magazine gives thc following striking statements of thc nutritive power of cotton seed oil cake, as compared with that of the various vegetables and grains: 1 lb oil cake equal to 1 lb 5 oz peas aud beans. I " " " l " C " rice. I " " " 2 " 5 " wheat grain. 1 " " " 2 " wheat flour. 1 " " " 2 " 5 " outs. 1 H " " 2 " 5 " rve. 1 " " " 3 " corn. 1 " " " 3 " tarley. 1 tt w . " 3 " pea straw. 1 " ? " 4 " clover hay. 1 " " " 5 " hay. I " " " 14 " potatoes. 1 " " " 20 " old potatoes. 1 " " " 17 " 5 " carrots. I " " " 18 " cabbage. 1 " " 20 " wheat straw. 1 " " " 27 " 5 " oat straw. 1 ? " " 30 " turnips. These figures carry with them their own comment. A Good Book. "STRrrrxa HEAVENWARD."- Randolph Sc Co.,, j Publishers. New York. We open this book without prepossession -except a secret dread of "poor, but pious" sentimentalism, vapid description, coarse delineation, straining after effect, and all sorts of fanatical and political vagaries. Imagine the delight of finding it a genuino book-a rare and remarkable book-not easily laid down or dismissed from memory. Here is told, as only a lady could tell if", the pure, sweet story of a life, thrilled through with religious feeling, which, how ever intense, is yet always sober, held iu check by superior intellect. Deep insight into spiritual truth, and sound judgment as to religious experience, eminently charac? terize this work. Its great charm is its per? fect naturalness. The characters are life-like, and the revelations of conscious? ness are given unsparingly, the weakness even more than the strength, the trials even more than the triumphs. Lavater says that the more honesty a man has, the less he affects the air of a saint. That deep piety is not necessarily divorced from waggery. Witness the following notice of a new arrival in the family: "A "certain little man, not a very old little "man either, has kept U3 in town until now. "Since he has come, we are all very glad of "him, though he came on his own invitation, "brought no wardrobe with him, does not pay "for His board, never speaks a word, takes "no notice of U3, and wants more waiting on "than any one else in the house." Among some gems from Fenelon, in chapter 25th, is this reply to one who wrote him that iu prayer he had difllculty in find iug anything to say to God. "It is not "necessary to say much to God. Oftentimes "one does not speak much to a friend whom "one is delighted to see; ono looks at him "with pleasure; one speaks certain short "words to him, which are mere expressions "of feeling. It is not so much a variety of "thoughts that one seeks in intercourse with "a friend, as a certain repose and corre "apondence of heart It is thus we are with "God," ?fcc. Such a volume must soon be at our book stores. Cost ano .formo. STRAYED FB?ITM? L?ITN?. 21 ASH? LEY street, on Friday night, a small black and tan slut Terrier PUP, about three months old.
