Dickens the younger, for the sum of six thou? sand- six hundred pounds sterling, or thirty three thousand dollars in gold. The house wes described as very commodious. The grounds comprised over seventeen acres and a half. The Swiss chalet, or cottage, walch had been -presented to Mr. Dickens, was not detached from the property, although lt was stated an American gentleman wotdd haTc paid a liberal price for lt. A plot of eight acres of land, forming part of the estate, was also bought by Jlr. Dickens the younger, for $7,500. -General Moltke, it appears, Is another of the men who have learned how to set a bridle upon their tongues. He seldom speaks to .anybody, and never converses. He knows seven languages, but it Is a superfluous ac? complishment, since he. never uses one ol .them-a man, in fact, entirely siter Mr. Car? lyle's heart. Just before he started firr Ut* rwar; a great speculator In PIOCKS mrt him, ?and, desiring to get a.hint or two ii* tuturt sase, said: '-Well, General, bow sro ?"tings -getting on V "Thank you. stay? w as ihe reply, -Vmy rye crops are getting ou beautifully, out -JBV potatoes are very backward.*' Things have been getting on better with the Generel since then. -^Edmund About describes the scenes after the battle of Woerth as follows: -'One sees solid regiments who proudly retreat, while a few bad soldiers, disbanded, lost, demoralized and disarmed, throw themselves desperately Into each by-path. I arrived just in time to stop three wretched Turcos, mounted on artil? lery horses, as they were entering an old quarry with the hope of making a shortcut from the field. Our artillery must have been roughly used, so many caissons pass along the road without guns. Bat here come one or two regiments of the line, quite firm, tolerably complete in numbers, rifle on shoulder and knapsack on back. Behind them Marshal McMahon, calm, dignified, al? most smiling, and fresh as a rose. I salute him as he passes. He responds without no? ticing me. One of his aids, M. D'Alzac, names me. Then the old hero stops, and tells me quite simply the story of his defeat, thus: "I had only 35,000 men, and I found 150,000 In front of me. We have given away before num? bers. They have killed or wounded about 5000 men. But we shall have our revenge." T!ie Laud Ring Once More. "We are almost tired of exposing the cor? rupt management of the Lane! Commission. That Commission was established with the avowed purpose of giving homes to the home? less and lands to the landless. It bas done neither. In nearly every instance the State paid two and three prices for the lands pur ? chased, and when they are sold again the purchasers (the poor freedmen ) have to pay twice and thrice their value. Land which they can buy at S3 or S5, in open market, is soid to them by the Land Commission at S5 or $10. This is, indeed, a boon, and the colored people appreciate it at its true 'Value. The 3tyie in which the Land Commis-' sion does its work is shown in.the fol? lowing, letter from our Columbia correspon? dent: . "Land for the . landless and homes for the homeless, again. " ' ' . ? "B. G. Yocum ls a philanthropist of Chester, j He came from the creat Naarth, and seeks the good will, th? votes and the money of the men and brethren. He has been buying lands-so runs our information from Chester County and selling them to the State through the Land Commission. Recently he so disposed of 730 acres; (near. Cornwell Turnout, I be? lieve,) at the rate of $3 50 an acre. This ls S6205. "Will the wide-awake editor of the Chester Reporter tell us whether these lands are worth $5 an acre ? "Now if Yocum paid S5 for these lands, it Is I easy to see that his margin was the snug sum Of $2555.. "This Yocum is a Yankee-a nomad that has been wandering about hobnobbing with negroes, and settled In Chester at last, when 1 he found a negro renting a shop who was 1 willing to take him in: He ls also said to be 1 one of his Excellency's loyal constabulary ' force, and a nominee for a seat In the General 1 Assembly, as a representative of Chester 1 County. I "From Georgetown County comes Informa- 1 tien of the sale of the Richard Dozier Place 5310 acres of land, said to be worth hardly a dollar an acre, il' so much. This tract has been sold to the Stae through the Land Com? mission for $3 50 an acre. This makes $18.585 what it cost the State. At one dollar an acre lt cost $5310, and this ls $13,275 less than the State paid for*lt. Good margin. Did Ralney sell lt to the State ? Was the draft for the $13^535 drawn In favor of DeLarge ? Or, how was lt ? And how about the titles ? "Cannot the editor of the Georgetown Times give us some information upon what these i lands are worth ?" 1 This is a plain case. In the Chester pur- ; chase the loss to the State is $2555. In the Georgetown purchase the loss to the State j is $13,275. The3eare, we take it, incon? trovertible truths Who will now believe that the State has actually obtained more than 3200,000 in lands, at their true value, in exchange for a payment of $700,000 ? Wade Hampton on Reform. The Abbeville Press and Banner prints the following extract, from a private letter of General Wade Hampton, addressed to a resident of Abbeviila village. General Hamp? ton says: "How does the Reform movement prosper ? In the issues now presented and the candi? dates in the field, I cannot see how any true man in the State can hesitate as to his proper position. Differ $3 we may about the platform of the new party. I see no alternative but to support its nominees. I hope and pray that good?may come of the movement, for unless a change ls made in the rule of the State, noth? ing but ruin awaits us."' The Press and Banner say3 that General Hampton defines hi3 own position and that of every true Carolinian "on the pending i3 "sues between Union and Reform and Re? publicanism. - between a reformation of "abuses and their continuance. It will be '.'indorsed, we know, by all of our people, "to whom the name of Hampton itseiri3 "worth a hundred arguments. 'The law and "antidote are both before you.' " Rev. Mr. Hicks and the Ring. We have the announcement, from the Or? gan of the Ring that the Rev. W. Watkm Hicks has "tendered bis resignation" as assistant pastor of St John's Lutheran Church, and that he was led to this step by the "hubbub" occasioned in his congregation by the pol?tica] anti-Reform pyrotechnics in the last number of his magazine. The AYA' Ceniv.i-y has become of late so active and zealous, if not so efficient, au ally ot' the Scott Governnieut, that the sympathy of the Ring mouthpiece with the editor in his troubles is natural enough. The congrega? tion of St. John's, which has flourished so long under the devoted ministrations of its revered rector, the venerable Dr. Bachman, will doubtless quail under the awful threat of -the destruction of the church," which the Radical sheet foretells a3 inevitable, un? less the "departure" of the "gifted" Hicks be somehow averted. COLONEL C. C. PCTFER, a Northern man, has been nominated as the "regular" Republi? can candidate for Cougress from the Fourth District. This nomination was made upon the ground that the convention held in Co? lumbia, which nomiuateJ A. S. Wallace, was "irregular and informal." TUE Columbia Phviix says that Mr. M. J I. Harman, an ex-Conf ad?rate, proposes to establish a weekly paper in Lexington. The Congressional Slate. The nominations for Congress, made up to this time, are as follows: I FIRST DISTRICT.-Radical nominee, J. H. Rainey, a colored man, State senator from Georgetown. SECOND DISTRICT.-Radical nominees, C. C. Bowen, the present incumbent, and R. C. DeLarge, a colored man, member of the State House of Representatives from Charles? ton. .. THIRD DISTRICT.-Radical nominee, R. B. Elliott, a black man, member of the Legis? lature and Assistant Adjutant-General of the State. FOURTH DISTRICT.-Radical nominees, Col? onel C. C. Puffer, a Northern man, and A. S. Wallace, a South Carolinian. Union Reform nominee, Colonel J. J: McKissick, of Union. Reform Topics. -An enthusiastic Reform meeting was held at Dog Bluff, In Horry County, ten days ago. -The Chesterfield Democrat urges every one to go to work, and declares that unless a j change be made in the State Government all the property in the country will be swept away "before Scott's second term expires." -The Georgetown Times says: "We take hope from the signs on the political horizon, which point to the re-establishment of those true Republican principles, so long held in abeyance. Ere another year rolls around, we trust the old Palmetto State will herald a vic? tory for good government, and that the elec? tion ot Carpenter and Butler will establish that harmony between the races never again to be disturbed." -The Union Times says, that after Judge Carpenter concluded his speech at Newberry, last Monday, a president of one of the leagues, with a number of the private members, went up to him, snook him cordially by the hand, and told him publicly that they Intended to vote for him and General Butler.Where ever Judge Carpenter has spoken he has con? firmed the wavering, revived the hopes ot the desponding, and won many converts to the Re? form party. -The Horry News says: "From every sec? tion of tile county that we hear lrom, the Re? form tide rolls on, Increasing In volume as it goes. At one time there was danger that a want ot concert of action on the part of those who favor Reform might so divide the vote of this county as to leave a probable chance for the Radicals to elect to the Legislature out-and out Radicals, or men who were so far commit? ted to their policy, and dependent on their votes, as not to pledge themselves to the Re? form party. This danger is now averted." -This suggestion Ia made by the Union Times: "Saturday afternoon 13 generally taken by the colored men as a time for recrea? tion, and they select some point-usually around a store-In each neighborhood, where they congregate on that day. In every neigh? borhood there are white and colored men who can, If they will, make speeches. Let some Dne of these be appointed, or do It voluntarily, to speak to the colored people In each neigh? borhood every Saturday evening. It Is not necessary to make long speeches on such oc? casions. Short and pithy remarks would be more effective, and would command more at? tention. In this way, the canvass would be kept up warm at every point, and in a short lime many who are now afraid to hear their voice above its ordinary tone would become good speakers and be our best and most suc? cessful woikers. Let lt be tried In every neighborhood, and we'll soon find the colored people drawing closer and closer to their true white friends." C?ncoticnfil. DUE WEST FEMALE COLLEGE.

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 flrst In? troduced them to the notice of the American pub? lic, we deem it unnecessary at present to enter into a lengthy description of tuelr merits, Ac There ls hardly a eity or town of any Dote In the country Into which they have not wand 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 atm further improved their quality, and now we firmly and honestly be? lieve that they stand without a rival. Oar Vanilla Extract cannot be surpassed for richness and delicacy of flavor. It ls a strictly pure and high* ly concentrated Extract of Vanilla B?ans. In short, we think lt the best that ts made, at least, this IB the decision or the best Indee? in *L?> coon try. We don't pretend to compete tu pi iee with many or the so-called Flavoring Extracts of the day, which are really but worthless compounds, undeserving or the name. For quality aud style, we dery competition.
