Thu Cin? cinnati Gazette says that after the reception of the war news in that city, "it was by no means safe for any sympathizer jvith France to ven? tilate his opinions over the Rhine (a section of Cincinnati, so called.) Ono gentleman, who was passing peaceably down Vine street, over the canal, commenced, In an abstracted mood, to whistle a strain of the Marseillaise. He was speedily aroused from his reverie by a blow upon the back of the head delivered by an irate Teuton, who accompanied his assault with the observation that 'No potty got a right to come visai lng dem frog-eating songs round here.? Th? French element in our population is light, but when one of the sons of La Belle France encounters a Teuton, blood was almost sure to :flow.p I -During the last few years, the government o.' Prussia and the government of France have both had experienced military officers in this country, ou the duty'of Inquiring Into the ap? pliances of our late war. One particularly as? tute officer of the Prussian general staff, who has been well known in military circles here for a considerable time, disappeared sudden!y on the first sign of war a fortnight ago, and lt is probable that he Is by this time in Berlin, il not on the Rhine. He knows all that can bc known about our artillery and small arms, as weil as about our earthwork system, our field manouvres, and all the details of our cam? paigns. Von Moltke has taken pains to pick up a great many military items during the hist few years, and has Bent his agents farand Mar to learn about everything new or strange. - Cogent Arguments for ?he Friend., or [ Union and Reform... 1. In the County of Fairfield 45,000 acres of land-o ne-ten UL of the whole area of the county-is advertised to be sold by the Treasurer for unpaid taxes. 2. In the County of Williamsburg 86,542 acres of land-one-sixth of the whole area of the county-is advertised to be sold by the Treasurer for unpaid State and county taxes. i 3. In Lancaster County , the Scott Land Ring pay $8 an acre, or $8032 for a tract ol land which sold eighteen months ago at $1 50 an acre, and which is "known to be utterly worthless." j "4. The (hunty tax of Oconce County ex? ceeds by two-fold the autl-war Slate tax. ' 5. Ten years ago the legislative payt bills wero $16,828. Now, they are $181,839. . 6. In Oconee the Scott Land Ring bas paid $6 an acre for land not worth half the money. i 7. The taxes for the year 1860 wera $591, 799. This year, including the county tax, the whole taxation is $1,764,856 41. j 8. A tract of land costing $30,000 is charged to the State by the Land Bing at $126,000. i 9. The debt of the State iu 1868 was $6, 000,000. Now, it is nearly $15,000,000. i '._ - ? i -i ??,? -' Cotlon Jlanufactnring In South I' -' Carolina. The Anderson Intelligencer, describes the present position and prospects of the Pen? dleton factory,, owned and operated by Wm. Ferry ? Ca These gentlemen have com? pleted their arrangements for. enlarging the abhere of their operations, and have recent? ly 'issued a pamphlet for the purpose of bringing their enterprise before the public. The original Investment of the present com? pany in October, ' 1867, was $50,000, and since that time the entire profits of the busi? ness have been applied to the improvement oj the property, and to the purchase of ad? di tional machinery and real estate. On the first of Jane last,, the. company declared ai stock dividend of $35,000, (after setting aiide an amount amply sufficient to cover all tl e liabilities of the.company,) which shows a net profit of 264'per cent, per annum on the Investment made at the organization. To obtain, the r desired amount of $100,000 capital, it will be necessary to dispose of $15,000 stock of the company, and this amount is now offered for sale The facts and figures are enough to con? vince any one that the investment will bring handsome dividends, and we join with the I?teUtg?ncer ba cordially recommending this opportunity to capitalists seeking a safe and sure return from their money. : j "Olere Militia." 0 ?The knowing journalists, who calmly de? clare that the Pr ossians are "mere militia," 'while the Frencli have been made "soldiers" bj- recent service in Africa, know as much of ] the true condition of the Prussian: army as the Scott Bing know of honesty and deceocy. The soldiers' who rooted the A us tr tan forces Sadowa are worthily pitted against the victors of Magenta and Solferino. Their mason!ar .force, their native intelligence, oed their incessant drilling', make them no contemptible foe; and the French veterans would be the last to cry down the "mero "militia," whose stubborn fighting bas lighted up many a dark page in German na? tional history. Both armies are admirably equipped,'and thoroughly prepared tor war. Abd, whatever the result of the struggle, 'neither German nor Frank will have cause 'td blush for bte countrymen. The Effects of the Taxation of the Scott : ! -. Bing. 'The Treasurer of Williamsburg County prints in the Eingstree Star a list of lands to be sold, for the payment of State and county taxes for the .years 1868 and 1869. This list fills five columns of the Star, and the lauds advertised for sale amount, in the aggregate, to 86,542 acres, or one-sixth of .?B whole area of Williamsburg County. AXD now it appears that :Qoverpor Soott is charged with having a direct interest in sohre small land transaction's in Anderson Cduirty.

The prolific author of this hook, and of its numerous companions, seems to find it very difficult to learn the lesson which his Eng? lish critics, at least, hare with commendable unanimity been endeavoring to teacli him. As he continues to write novels we suppose he must lind some persons silly enough to read them. For ourselves, we confess to greatly begrudging the time which, in an hour of weakness, we have bestowed upon his lost production. "Gwendoline's Harvest" is ut? terly vapid and insipid, in spite of havin? Brinvilliers for its heroine, and a Newgate Calendar for its chapter of incidents. With? out artistic skill, knowledge of human na? ture, or grace of style, our readers may have imagined it impossible to write a novel. We can only say, read "Gwendoline's Harvest" and acknowledge your mistake. STERN NECESSITY. A novel, by F. W. Robin Bon, author of "Poor Humanity," "For Her Sake," Ac. New York: Harper & Br?thens. Mr. Robinson's novels are not deficient in a certain sort of originality, nor are they lacking in force and spirit . Their fault is, perhaps, chiefly a want of invention and im? agination, which has the effect of making j their machinery seem somewhat cumbrous in comparison with the results achieved. Thej- are interesting, but they are also dis? appointing. The dramatis personen do not quite come up to their suggestions, and are, at best, but tantalizing possibilities. He is most successful in his sketches of humble life in London, which he seems to have care? fully studied. The present novel is a fair average specimen of his work, and is pleas? ant enough reading. KILUENY. A novel, by William Black, author of "Love or Marriage," "In Silk Attire." - New York: Harper & Brothers. Mr. Black is fast winning his way to a high position among the minor novelists of | the day. His novels are fresh, bright and vigorous in a remarkable degree, and as a raconteur he has merits of a very high order. His characters are cameos, sharply and deli? cately cut;-his dialogue ls at once cleverer and more natural than that of most of his colleagues; and his novels have always the advantage of presentingln an attractive and crystalized form some- social or aesthetic theory, which Invests them with an individ- j uality of their own, and differentiates them thoroughly from the mass. To those readers who do not care "to sup full of horrors," the refined intellectualism of his books will afford a grateful contrast to the usual fare provided for the literary appetite of the day, while the lovers of mere story-telling will find in his page3 ample satisfaction for their want3. "Kilmeny" is a worthy successor to "Love or Marriage" and "In Silk Attire," two of the most charming and original novels of the last decade. Tue sketch of "Bonnie "Leslie," the brilliant blonde with the im? pressible shallow nature, which, "liked bet? ter falling in love than being in love," is marked from first to last by the author's pe? culiar delicacy and suggestiveness. There is a "wistful dreaminess" about the whole book which is infinitely attractive, and which ought to make it a great favorite in these languid summer days. All tho above novels can be found at Rus? sell's.

We beg leave respectfully to call the attention of the public to our Superior Flavoring Extracta. As ten years have now elapsed since we first in? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem It unnecessary at present to enter m to a lengthy description of their merits, Ac. There ls hardly a etty or town of any note lithe country into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity and daily Increasing demand ts owing entirely to their peculiar excellence and intrinsic worth. Being determined to make them the Standard Ex? tracts of the day. we have atm further Improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a ri val. Our Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It is a strictly pure and high? ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla Beans. In short, we think lt the best that is made, at leau?, this ls the decision of the best Judges tn the coun? try. We don't pretend to competo in price with many of the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which aro really but worthless Compounds, undeserving of the name.
