In 1861, it is stated that there were127,131 females In London engaged in various branches of needle-work, of whom 21,000 were: under twenty years of age. -The raising of sunken vessels by balloons te?recently been In course of exp?riment?t .liverpool. Operations were commenced on a sunken steam-tug. Thirty-six balloons are ?med, four calculated to raise forty tons each, twenty, to raise twenty tons each, and twelve Ao raise ten tons each-giving a total lifting jower of 680 tons. The empty balloons are ?combined with a. number of charged gas gene? rators, and attached to an apparatus which ls bolted to the sides of tho vessel. The genera ?tors are expected to furnish sufficient hydro? gen gos to the balloons to give them lilting power to raise the vessels, to the surface. The -result of the experiment has not yet been au -uounced. -The dem ad s of the war on the German population are thus stated by a correspondent: ?"One requires to be in Germany to have bought home to one the full practical working <eX a syBtem that so sharply, without distinc? tion of persons, gathers in all alike o compnl ??ry service. The result ls that at present in IPrussla all men between 20 and 30, not disa? rmed for Bpeclal reasons otherwise employed, .-are lo the field. It ls p/tijifijUj impressive to ?oe the deserted aspect ol German cilles. Who does not remember the busy crowds lo the narrow streets.of Cologne? Now they are dead and noiseless, .with none but boys and old men to share their space with women. What I saw In Cologne, I also saw In other towns. Everywhere the thews and sinews of the male population are gone to the war, and everywhere I found they did so with admirable readiness. Of course such a wholesale summoning to arms strikes heavily, not merely individual existences, but also the country, through the Incalculable disturbance lt creates in industrial establishments. I have one instance to hand which is well calculated to exemplify this public lons. It ls known to everyone what an enormous foundry is that of M. Krupp, at. Essen, In Rhenish Prussia* Nearly 8000 workmen are employed In it, and I am informed on unexceptional authority that of these no fewer than 1488 have had to join their colors, to the Indescribable loss of the foundry, as these men comprised the skilled and absolutely lndespeusable artisans; and yet there is no murmuring and no repining among the Prussian population at what ls being Im? posed on them." Something Wrong. A joint resolution of the General Assem? bly, approved December 22,1869, authorizes the levy, and collection, of a tax of three mills on the. dollar to meet the expenses of Charleston County for the year 1869. Thia tax should realize at least $125,000. While the joint resolution was under con? sideration by the House of Representatives, it was moved by Mr. A. J. Handier to make the tax two mills instead of three, upon the ground that $75,000 would be amply suffi? cient to meet all the expenses of the year. This statement was made upon the authority of the chairman of the Board of County Com? missioners. The proposed reduction of the rate of taxation was lustily opposed by DeLarge, who said that at least $150,000 must be raised. Mr. McLaughlin, one of the County Commissioners, had assured him that the county fees, funds, <fcc, would ab? sorb $75,000, and that $50,000 was required for repairing roads and bridges. Auditor Tomlin son ? offered a compromise In the shape" of a tax of two and a half mills, which was promptly voted down. DeLarge flip? pantly declared that the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners knew no more about Charleston County than the man in the moon knew how much there was in:DeLarge's pocket. This unanswerable argument secured the adoption of the three mill tax. When the joint resolution reached the Sen? ate it met with an active opposition. Sena? tor Corbin urged that the tax be only two mills, which amount, he said, would be sufficient, for Charleston County, which .'did not wish to pay all, or nearly "all, of :he taxes as it had been doing "heretofore." This brought Senator "Dad "dy" Cain to his feet, who said "two mills "on the dollar will give our (Charleston) "commissioners S100, ooo. I think they "can spend that. I believe that the more "we give them the les3 work they will do. "Out of sight of the steeples of Charleston "they- have done little no work; in fact, "nearly all of the work that they have done "has been inside of the city limits. I am "willing to give them another chance though, "but I want them to understand that here "after they will be watched with sleepless "vigilance. $100,000 has been spent by the "commissioners since last session-By the "way, the returns of these commissioners do "not show for what this money was spent. "They show who received the money, but "not for what they received it." Corbin and Donaldson protested against the levy? ing of three mills as "an outrage," and, on motion, two mills was substituted. The House refused to concur in the Senate amendments, and a committee of conference was appointed. This committee made a report, in which the three mills tax in Charleston County was agreed to, and the report was adopted. We have been particular in showing the tone of the debate upon the passage of the three mills tax, in order that it may be clear? ly understood that the most independent members of the Senate and House deemed a two mills tax sufficient, while their oppo? nents admitted that a three mills tax would give them all the money they required. The tax has been assessed, aad is in course of collection. We have no reason 'to believe that there is any unusual tardiness in pay? ing the county tax, and yet the County Treasurer declines to pay any of the checks drawn upon him by the County Commis? sioners, his excuse being that he has no funds. Whether there is any discrimina? tion in paying the checks we are unable to say. It may be that the friends of the treasurer and of the commissioners are paid, while the general public go begging. But even thi3 is doubtful. A diligent inquiry gives us the names of a large number of per? sons who are refused payment of their . checks, but we do not hear of a .solitary one whose check has been paid on presentation. Indeed, some of the check-holders are told by the treasurer that they cannot be paid before January. Under ordinary circumstances, and in or? dinary times, we should be inclined to sup? pose that some unavoidable cause had in? terfered with ?the collection of taxes, and bad kept the treasury empty. But no such plea can be urged now. The tax wa3 more than the most extravagant estimates called for, and the taxes have been paid with the usual promptitude. What then is the reason why the checks of the County Commissioners aro refused payment by the County Treasurer ? The facts in our possession force u3 to believe that the cry of "no funds" is raised to de? preciate the value of the claims upon the county, so that the County Com? missioners, or County Treasurer, may buy them up at a heavy discount It is notorious in Columbia that the Slate offi? ciais are allowed a discount of twenty and twenty-five per cent, upon bills against the State, and the same result is to be reached, in a different way, in Charleston County. Here, the Treasurer has "no funds," the checks upon the treasury fall to ten and fifteen per cent, discount, and at this rate they are quietly bought up by friends and connections of the Treasurer and County Commissioners. SENATOR SWAILS endeavored to convince the public that he had no part in the Williams? burg land swindle, already exposed in TUE NBWS. A writer in the Kingstree Star brings the charge home, and convicts the wrig? gling Swails of something worse than negli? gence and want of care. The Lexington Landa. X We are informed that the Lexington lands, :spoken of in oar issue of yesterday, were*| Sold,to the Land Commissioner by#Mr. Gei? ger, for $5175, which is about $2 25 an acre. The lands are well worth this price, although they, cannot be divided into small tracts with advantage. Now, it is charged that the State has been made to pay $8050 for these lands, while Mr. Geiger received only $5175. Will any responsible member of the Land Ring inform the public what the State did pay for these lands ? And will any one tell the public, whether Purvis was the middle man who made the purchase and re? sale, and then divided out the spoils ? A Startling Statement. Our correspondent informs us that Wm. McMillan, whom Scott has appointed a com? missioner* of election for Chester County, wes found guilty of stealing cotton, some months ago, and fled from the Stats. While still a fugitive from justice, he was pardoned by Governor Scott, and is now expected to j return the favor, with interest, upon election day. *.
