By the witt, the battery when completed, ls to go to the State of New Jersey, and If not accepted ls to be sold for the benefit of the Stevens es? tate. What New Jersey ls to do with lt, asno State can keep ships ot war, Is not understood. It ls In contemplation to use about five hun? dred tons of the armor plates of the "New Ironsides" in the further prosecution ol the work, as they are held to be of superior quali? ty, and can be used.with great economy. -Notwithstanding that the Conservative majority In North Carolina wUl exceed 15,000 vdefeated Radical leaders are already plot some schemes to set lt aside, A delegation Washington in conference with metu the National Republican committee, ajad others hive p?ta?d through to consult -jftth Jadge Kelly^Ben Butler, and otherjnls-. p ale f-m akin g leaders or tue Republican partv? %t is Intimated that' tho*erTort will be made to ^ontesj;^^ seat* ot four of the Ave Conserva^ tlve members elected fo the Forty-second Con- ' gress; but, preliminary to . that. Holden and* others wljl endeavor to have, the State re? manded to military rule on some plan similar to that made in the Georgia case. As to the Congressmen, the Louisiana precedent ol seat? ing minority candidates on the alleged ground of Intimidation is to be urged. -A tale-of horror is told, by the Memphis Avalanche of last Monday. It says that Beck, the murderer' of Mr. and Mrs. Goode, on Favorite Island, about two months since, was taken from the Austin, Miss., Jail, on Wednes? day morning, by a large number of men who had gathered lor the purpose, carried down to the riveras edge,- and, by the waning light of the moon, rowed across to a sandbar on the Arkansas shore, and there, under'the long shadows of the trees, the crowd gathered around their victim, and, as the gray streaks ot dawn appeared, a grave was scooped out of the sand by.aiot.of.men who appeared, at that moment, more; hice" demons than human beings. Binding ' the wretch's hail d's and feet together, they threw lUmTnto. the hole. Two or three, of the stout?^i .s^?d upon hts body while the hole was being filled np, lifting their , feet every now and--then to keep on-a level wltlTthe rising sand. As the sand went in, these men actually danced upon the smother? ing- victim beneath, and the whole crowd broke out in an unearthly song. At sunrise, the lynchers hurried to their skiffs and disap? peared np and down the river along the Mis? sissippi shore. ? Those Conto anding Cablea. The ocean cables-all honor Lo them-are one of the marvels of the age. . An electric spark, traversing'the slender wires, which stretch from the Old -World to the New, brings rival Continents within speaking dis? tance, and allows New York to hear, aa it were, the dull echoes from the banks of the Moselle and Rhine. And yet the ocean . cables as they are now used, and the whole telegraphic system, corrupt, our language, confuse our ideas; and make- onr knowledge of the ?vente of the. day as jerky and scrap? py a3 the click-clack of a magnetic battery. There is no even and continuous stream of information. From the telegraphic alpha? bet, the reading public are expected to form plain words and intelligible phrases. As I well might one-in the South at least-un j dertake to interpret a cuneiform Inscription, or to solve the hieroglyphic riddle of a two thousand year old mummy. The almighty dollar, through the tele? graph, plays havoc with the purity of lan? guage. To the "English" tongue, and the "American" tongue, is added the "telegra? phic" tongue-a tongue in which* eminent men are "interviewed," houses are "bur "glarized," trains and vessels "collide," and some unfortunate "suicided," either "smorn "ing" or "sevening." As every word i3 paid for, the press reporters exert all their inge? nuity to moke one word take the place of a half dozen. They might strip their dis? patches of U3eles3 adjectives, and rhetorical flowere, and use compact nervous English. -But this would take time, and the worried journalists, of small calibre, seek refuge in the bastard phrase-words of which an exam? ple has been given. They have the excuse that newspaper proprietors do not want to pay for ten words when five will do, and the ! slang dictionary becomes every day larger and more disgusting. In - ordinary times, the work of the wires is tolerably satisfactory. The market re? ports cannot very well go wrong, and the quick-travelling mails fill op the gaps in the daily dispatches. But in days like these, in times of wars and rumors of wars, the despairing journalist and confounded public are tempted to regret an earlier period when news arrived only once a week, and one event could be well ? digested before it was pushed aside .hy another. Then, ..carefully written and comprehensive letters explained.' the condition of domestic and foreign affairs, and side by side with the accomplished fact, came the explanation of its canse and a dis? cussion of its probable result. The public was not always on the tenter-hooks of anx? iety. Between the receipt of the.one mail and the.arrival of the next, there was ample time for cogitation ; there was the opportu? nity of overcoming the gloom of disaster and the wild joy of victory. Nous avons chang? tout cela ! A.battle take3 place in Europe, and the fact is known before the smoke drifts from the field of carnage. And so it ls with every important event, at home . and abroad. The papers print each morn? ing a condensed account of the history of the world OD the previous day. The fall of empires, or a rise in stocks, is done up in a sentence, or disposed of in a paragraph. No one will complain of receiving new3 a week, or a month, earlier than it was re? ceived in the coaching-times. That is not the trouble. Where toe telegraph confounds us is, in its omissions of necessary facts, in Us disconnected statements, in its contradic? tory reports. Who can tell, for instance, what the French and German armies have been about during the last week ? There is a bushel basket of dispatches, and we are little wiser at the last than at the first. Both of the belligerent governments exercise a strict surveillance over the wires. Abso? lutely trustworthy information is difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. The public, how? ever, demand the news, and they get it after a fashion. A correspondent" in London hears that a correspondent in Berlin has received a private letter from the vicinity of Metz, in which it is stated that the Prussiaus have "whipped 'em again." This is sent with hot haste to New York. Another correspondent learns from a correspondent at Pari3 that the French have driven the Germans into the sea. And this," likewise, is dispatched over the wires. In the morning the unfor fortunate public have the two accounts before them. No doubt, one is as truthful as the other. Which is to believed ? You pay your money and you take your choice. Armies run to and fro ; hundreds of thous? ands of men are moved with miraculous rapidity ; whole corps are destroyed one day to turu up unharmed the next. And when there is a scrap of truth, it is so bald and bare that no mortal man can make head or tail of it. We caunot tell, as yet, what were the circumstances of the battle at Hageuau or Woerth. The Prussians were victorious-that is all we know. Only now ?ire we receiving the particulars of that little affair at Saarbr?cken, where the lnitrail.etns j are said to have played havoc with the op-1 posing battailous. And the Southern papers j are wor?e Ou that: their big Northern broth ren. Th?J* recetve less telegra|tic ri?w?, 2fcr-?N-er}-^?odxe48oar-?id Llxelr readers, al? ways hungjy, ?OTer ha?e their filib ?

Men there'are who'can do the work. The Washington correspondent of a New York daily keeps lt thoroughly in? formed of all that is going on in the Federal capital. As much may yet be dorie for Ber? lin arid Paris'and London.. Indeed, we hope to s?? the time when all the news in a morn? ing paper, exc'eptthe report of events at the place of publication, shall have come-over the wires..'* '?.j? ' . i ''Well! we have had our grumble out, and are ready to-be.puzzled and bothered at discretion. . , _ - _ Short Cotton on the Sea Islands..: . A number of sea island planters pitched, last season, a crop of short cotton, enter? taining the idea that this variety, by rea? son of its earlier maturity and lesser cost of cultiv?tion, would be mor?'certa?nly pro? fitable than ordinary 1 sea" islands." The finest kinds of short cotton were chosen for the experiment, and it i3 expected that a considerable quantity of the short staple, grown upon' the sea is? lands, will soou come into the market. This will, of course, increase the aggregate yield of the short cotton, and will propor? tionately decrease the crop of long cotton. The area planted in short cotton, and the decreased area of long cotton, are shown in the following tables, which have been care? fully prepared by a sea toland planter: AREA PLANTED IN 1870. Loxa COTTON. UPLANDS. Acres. Acres. EDISTO, (complete returns -from 47 planters, )..... 2599 2040 W ADM ALA w, fpartial re? turns-from 20 planters) 935 G50 JOHNS'S, (partial returns irom 9 planters,). 480 269 This shows that in the most favored spots the quantity of long cotton planted, as com? pared with short cotton, stands in the pro? portion of four to three. The decreased area in long cotton ls shown in the following table: I.ONO COTTON. 1?C9. 1870. DECREASE. Acres. Acres. Acres. ED:S-TO, (as before,). . .. 2043 WADMALAW, (as be? fore,). .. 650 JOHNS'S ISLAND, (as before,)_. .. 269 MISCELLANEOUS, (re? turns from 29 plan? ters,).... 247S 2211 267 CHRIST CHURCH. 2850 1750 lioo Decreaso In acres. 4329 This, to many, will be a startliug result. It is known positively that the acreage of long cotton, in a small district, is 4329 less than last year, and this only approximately indicates the falling orv of the sea island crop Of 1870. Colonel Hoyt for the State Senate. Colonel James A. Hoyt, of Anderson, in reply to the request of some influential citi? zens that he would aHow his name to be put in nomination for the State Senate, says that it would not become him to forestall the ex? pression of popular opinion by consenting to become a candidate in advance of the action of the whole county. He advises that the convention to be held ou September 5 nomi? nate a full Reform ticket, and is more than wiUiug to abide by its decision in the choice of candidates. Anderson cannot have a better represen? tative of her interests than she would lind in the person of Colonel Hoyt, and no one would work more honestly for the good of the whole State. Colonel Hoyt was a gal? lant soldier, and rose, "from the ranks" we believe, to the command of a regiment. He is liberal in his opinions and progressive in hi3 policy, and has a staunch spirit and well-balanced mind, which cause him to be respected and trusted wherever he i3 known. The Lund Ring. We priut to-day a card from ex-Land Com? missioner Leslie, who reiterates his state? ment that he never bought any land, a3 land commissioner, upon his owu authority, aud that he was land commissioner only in name. It i3 a noteworthy fact that Senator Leslie does not deny that there have been gros3 frauds in the management of the Land Com? mission. He declares his own iunocence, without exonerating the Advisory Board, consisting of Scott, Chamberlain A Co. But Senator Leslie knows the whole truth about the Land Ring, and if he admits his "re? sponsibility to the people," he owes it to them to make a clean breast of the whole business. Nothing less than the conviction of the real culprits will convince the public that Mr. Leslie is guiltless. What ls Thought of Judge Orr at Home. The Anderson Intelligencer, noticing the recently published letter of Judge Orr upon the political situation, says : "We are not surprised at thia course of Judge Orr's, as we have known for some weeks that he contemplated Its adoption. It. can only be regretted, however, for his own sake, as Ms old friends and supporters in this section mil not follow his advice, and the Radi? cal party will not be strengthened, nor the Re formparty weakened by this accession openly to Scott's supporters. Judge Orr has been virtually connected with the Radical party for some time, and this letter is simply an open declaration of his proclivities." The word3 which we have italicized agree ! perfectly with the tenor of the private advices received by THB NEWS from Anderson j Coanty. THAT "little wonder" in American joar 1 ualism, the New York Baili/ News, bas at* ! fained a degree of popularity without prece? dent in newspaper history. Before the breaking out of the war it published a larger edition than any other daily paper in the ? United States, bat on August 8 its total cir j culatiou reached the amazing height of 191, 000 copies.

There ls hardly a elty or town of any note in the countrv into which they have not found their way. The reason of this widespread popularity 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 still 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 Iv concentrated Extract of Vanilla B?ans. in short, we think it the best that LS made at least, this ls the decision of the best judges In ; coun? try.
