Six companies of the Sixteen ta United States infantry proceeded to Laurens tbls morning. They win report to Trial Justice Crews. The Wilmington and Manchester Railroad c line have been trying to buy, through the sinking fund committee, the one million three hundred, thousand dollars worth of stock of the State lu the Blue Ridge Railroad, but have sig? nally failed.

A nv etlng of the directors has been auvertlsed seve? ral rimes and postponed on account of disagree? ments in caucus as to the course to be pursued and as to new directors. The meeting appointed for to-night wiU not in all probability come off. Mu ch interest ls manifested In two caaes before thedSupreme Court. The first ls an appeal from Carpenter's decision-the acsets of the Bank~of the State are first liable to pay the fire loan bonds. The current opinion U in favor of Carpenter's de? cision. Th e second is a case lh which t he parties appealing desire the judgment of the Supreme Court, that the bills or the Bank of the State be received for taxes. This case wBl not probably be argued this terra. The ftlends of the present administration are determined to hava the true ch-.racier of the bills thoroughly Investigated, with a view to show that they were Issued to alt! the Confederacy. Nothing new lp regard to the senatorial or judi* cial contests has transpired. - ? COLUMBIA INTRIGUES. Back-door Thanksgiving-The Senator-. ship-That Printing PM p-The?Misses* Rollins again-Tli?

Th re was no session of the General Assem? bly to-day.* The morning and evening trains car? ried away their complement or passengers, so that the city seems comparatively deserted. To? day belog Thanksgiving day. tb e. stores on Main street wera generally closed-a rather strange thing, when one remembers that for the memory of General Lee but two br three made such an observance. -There was as much and perhaps more business done, though, than usually; for if the shutters remained np In compliance with Grant's proclamation, the doors were certainly all open In non-compliance with Scott's proclama? tion. No religious services, that we are aware of. were he'd. ,., Cauc?sea seemed, the programme for the day. with the politicians. TB? SENATORIAL CONTEST. Matters are beginning to culminate, and this morning we have the announcement that Neagle has sold ont-beg pardon I we mean backed out. Whether or no thia was an unexpected move, we dent affirm; but, judging from Its quiet re? ception, the conclusion would be that KU not. To-whom Neagle will transfer his votes lt is hard te tell ; some say to Robertson, o. .era to Cardozo. If the recent breach between the DeLarge party, (which Included Neagle,') and Cardozo has not been close J up, the latter will be in the vocative, aa far as votes arc concerned. Chief Justice Moses s name ls freely used. Should his friends succeed, lt will be only through skilful manoeuvring and hard work, lt ls rather late in the day for new candidates to hope for success. Wejgrptne that Chamberlain is doing some bard work. If a tithe of the labor expended by him during the recent canvass, te prove that the works of this administration were good and Just, is how used, the result must prove a success. But we fear that, Samson ?Ike, he bas been shorn of his strength. Not to be personal, but for want of a more expressive phrase, we say that he looks "down In the gilli." Every vote eoontt*, of course. Mr. Rain ey an? ticipated casting one mach in the style of Whi? temore, who really magiced he could ho'd a seat in our State Soaste a ad the United States Con? gress at the fame trate; but he was disabused of the Idea. Rtfney nts decided to attend to pre? paring for his coming journey to Washington. It" would be too cruel, not that Whit ; omore and Rainey are sue t good little boys, to say anything about the "livery of heaved*" or the* miraculous delivery or Don R'x'erL;ues and Alphonso, so we won't. ? THE NEXT STATE PRINTER. '.Printers," mayhap, we should say, for lt ls j very doubtful if any one man wBl have the con? trol of the printing this session. By a rule of the Senate the clerc ls instructed to make ec- nomlcal arrangements for the public printing. Unless a change ls made, the arran*, aent win continue. Mr. Woodruff ls a good officer, and lt would be a saviog to the State to allow bun to give out the printing. The commoron t clique seem to have a sudden cramp about the epigastrium. Last night they were bold with thc assertion that they would show up, through their journal, the entire work? ings, of the ^ministration if the pearl was not -thrown'before them. It ls said geese cackled and savetf Rome. Mr. Denny has added another story tonis office and is making very extensive alterations and ad? ditions.- Be ls Interested, we learn, about equally in each of the rollowlag firms, who are ail oaten-. albly fighting eaoh other: Denny and Morris, Morris and Carpenter, aad Denny and Carpenter. The whole thing appears like a "torra" knocked into blessed "pl," and the apprentices standing around, with their elbows In the ink cans and their thumbs In their mouths. A NEW STREET IN COLUMBIA. On one of the street lamps near the capitol may be seen the sign "West 15th street." (It might be suggested that other streets be designated in a similar manner.) Whether this bli herto unknown street lias sprung up In connection with some anticipated change ia the city limits; whether the lower part of the city ls to be called Severus City In honor of our Emperor; or whether thia locality takes its name trom its immediate connection with the Fifteen-h Anvndmenr, we have not learned.' It ls stated that it ls a carpet-bag hump, and like some other reoent importations, no one has, washed its face'for it. Can", the uncommon council Inform na r FAY DAT ANO THE B JD Y GUA BP. Hubbard's office was the resort to-day or large numbers of constables, who have been walting some time to obtain their back psy. It seems that many were called, but few were chosen. Now that the election la over, and our snip of State ls keeled over on the sands of peaee, to remain anoffeer two years, those Innocent and deluded ylc tims of misplaced confidence, who have risked their hides, ir not their lives, as they thought to ?secure senator t?la or Doa. thal a fat place, find that their friend has "Jnst stepped round the cor? ner." The disappointment depicted on their faces to-day, however, was allayed by a "smile" now and thea when one of the lucky ones would treat. To night they all seem to bc humming the lines of one of Columbia's Imported poets: '.Xever mind, boya. There's a good time omlng." OSSA ON PELION. They say misfortunes never come singly. Dncle Joseph must really feel afflicted. We should like i to hear him give hts experience in a good old fashioned Methodist class meeting. Scott has gone back on him; Wilkes lia? annihilated him; the House are chary of him, and to cap the cli? max, wc learn that the South Carolina Improve? ment and Trust Company are going to do a big business this session In advancing money on pay accounts and other evidences of Indebtedness. His feelings may be more easily imagined than but we will desist. SCOTT AND THU" BLUE BID GE COUP AN V. When Mr. Wtiippcr, on yesterday, made his "innuendoes" ogalnat the management of the Blue Bilge Railroad Company, he did not, we Imagine, anticipate the reaction on himself that will cer? tainly occur. As every one could Bee, it was an attack on the president and management of the road in general, and on Governor Scott in partic? ular. One of the causes, and one whloh doubt? less decided Whipper to take thc step at once, we learn, was the refusal of General Scott to sign the pay-rolls or the Misses Rollins as clerks in one of the departments. At the last session of the Gen? eral Assembly, an Investigation similar to the one proposed by Whipper was made. Under pressure the Blue "Ridge Ring expended,, we think, some three thousand dollars to secure a whitewashing report, or, perhaps we should say, to avert an un? favorable report President Harrison can at pr sent lay his hands on- tfce papers to prove this, and would do so now were lt not for the law against bribery and corruption. Scott* and the Blue Ridge men are determined this time to lay every? thing before the public, and to let ttcm Judge for themselves. They desire to make a clean breast of every transaction, and have decided to submit to no more black-maldng from the Legislature. They say they have notuing to fear. The Blue Ridge Road is known to be the pet scheme of Scott, and we are inclined to believe that, with a fair showing, he will do the right thing by the State. He looks.rorward to the presidency of the road, when his coming term of office shan have been completed, with almost childish delight He certainly has in this the opportunity, If lie will but improve it, of Atoning for his' past mistakes. President Harrison nor Governor Scott, we are confident,, need rear anything from this purely disinterested ff) course .of Whipper and his friends. WHAT IS THK LAND OOHHISSIONf Some say the land commission ls a swindle. We deny tho statement. It Is nothing of the kind. It ls a downright system of highway rob? bery, and its apologists arc nothing more nor less than accomplices of the land commissioner. In support of this, and to place the last straw on the camel's back, the following scheme ta presented : Mr. DeLarge, it seems, is short or funds. He wants to raise money. For th? past four months his surveyor has secured every man he could lay his hands on, and succeeded In having a large por? tion of the State lands surveyed Into small lots. They are are now ready to settle on. Before any one settles, however, he must pay a fee of $10 for each lot Au agent ls to be sent to each 'county to collect these fees and give certificate. This, lt ls sup? posed, will realize a considerable sum of money. But lt will not The poor white and colored men of this State, who desire to purchase a thirty acre field, cannot afford to pay $10- in fees, outside of the price of the land. They haven't the money and can't get it; and Mr. DeLarge*wi!I find lt out. There ane plenty of large owners of real estate throughout the State who are willing to do much better by the poor people than the land commis? sion can do. And Fuoh men, irrespective of par? ty, are bound to secure the sutfrage of these peo? ple. But enough or an old, corrupt and well-worn subject. COmfITTBK8 IN THX HOUSE. Whipper U sp dr.cn or for, and anticipates get? ting, the chairmanship or the committee on ways and means. That little legislative engine, Hurley, will no doubt be chairman or the committee on railroads; and thereby hangs a tale. The only prominent chairmanship remaining ls that or the judiciary committee. This lt will be hard to HIL Wilkes, from Anderson, ls the oaly one pre? senting any qualifications, and may gK lt Crews's claims are being urged to-night for. the way s and means committee. In case he succeeds, Whipper will baye the Judiciary, and Wilkes wi 1 be left out.._ NEW NOTES OE FRACTIONAL CUR? RENCY. WASHINGTON, November 25. . There wat a full ?Cabinet meeting t*-day all present except Creswell. James Jourdan has been appointed revenue col? lector or the third district or New York. Under treasury circular No. 1, parties obtained exchange on thc South by depositing old notes in Now York, and sent new notes to their correspon? dents South. The circular has been so amended that new notes will only be returned to those from whom old ones are received. The object of this arrangement ls to retire all legal tenders. Here? after, new notes will not be returned for certifi? cates or deposits issued by assistant treasurers and designated depositaries. New notes will not be returned for bankers' drafts. New fractional currency wiU be forwarded from the treasury office, under a contract with the Adams Express Company, at the expense of the department In either of the districts covered by t h - contract. SHIP WRECK. WILMINGTON, November 25. The ship Persia of Baltimore, from New Or? leans to Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton, went ashore on Frying Pan shoals on Thursday morn? ing. Her cargo is estimated to be worth $200,000. A strong southeast wind is blowing, and some hopes are entertained that tho vessel may be got? ten off. A United States revenue cutter and two steam tugs have gone to her relief. The captain says that the vessel ls so strained that she can? not proceed on her voyage, but will have to put into some port for repairs. SPARKS FROM TEE WIRES.

A member of Congress, as the New York Tribune remarks, who bas not moral torce enough to relieve himself of Importunity ls hardly the stuff for a legislator' but we dare say the bill ls necessary. Why not call it, however, what lt really ls, "a bill to enable members or Congress to say 'no' without offend? ing theirc?M?tuentg.'' EUROPE. RUPTURE IN THE ENGLISH CABI? NET QN THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The Paris Defence*-Thc Electric Lights on the Fortifications. The weather about Paris (writes a London Times correspondent, who ls in the army of.the Crown Priuci of Prussia,) is and has bean horri? ble-pelting rains and heavy gales. Bat bad us lt ls. the besiegers profit by lt to a certain extent, and work with grea'er success than would walt their efforts on clear, calm nights. The anxiety of tue besieged is evinced by the leccssaut use of electric lights at thc forts. The lighthouse serves to warn the mariner of his danger. These bright eyes pierce the gloom to detect the approach o. an ene ny. From north and south, east and west, the rays may be seen slowly spreading through the night nice prodi? gious bull's eyes, and now and then the flash of a gun announces that they have made some Impor? tant discovery, and salute li with a shell, tiut, generally, tue activity which the gunners display? ed some time ago has abated. They seem to have given up the hope of staying the progress of the siege works, and to be preparing for a reply when the attack is made. That is some time distant. The reason assigned for the delay ls not in any way connecte! with peace negotiations. It is sim? ply ihe necessity of feeding the ?len be ere all other tnlugs which has caused the Impedi? ments to tuc armament of the batteries. All the horses anu* carrs have been employed in bringing up supplies, aud lt Is or has been In lntervtls of that work only that the transport of gnus and ammunition could be effected. Just think, for example, of the trans? port needed for the supply or Uve hundred rounds of two hundred-pound shell for the large mor? tars, guns and howitzers. The French may reel they have been too rree with their ammunition. Ii will be aa Interesting duel between muzzle loaders and breech-leaders; and no doubt, If the former are beaten, tne active partisans of the system In England will say that lt ts notorious the French puns are tho worst mnz/.le loaders lu the world. Th'lr shells are ve ry bad ludeed. St. Cloud ls full of monster* three feet loug with Woolwich studs on them unexploded. If the muzzle-loaders make a good light or lt, as no doubt they will, rom their great rise and stable Platform, lt will bc bailed as a proor or the ex* celleuce or the system. The Value .of Parin. The valueof Paris, like the value of almost ever y thing else; has been subjeoted to an analysis. The question ls: What ls the actual worth or the prop? erty in the French metropolis exposed to danger by a Prussian attack ? Thc result-Is easily arrived ar, by an arithmet? ical process, in thc Economist-a great Kngilsh onancial Journal. Loudon with a population or 3,400,000, has a valuation or Its private iiuikllngs or ab not $l36,000,uu0, which, capitalized by aboat twelve years' purchase, represents a sum of $1.620,000 OOO. It ls assumed that Parti, with one million eight hundred thousand lu habitants,, con? tains private-house property worth about $c59, 600 ooo. Ten per cent, being deducted as the value or tho ground rcuts and unoccupied area, which may be treated as Indestructible, though ground rents would Tall If Paris were bair destroy .ed. lhere remains a net sum of $721,769,000 repre sen ting the value or Parl-lan buildings which a complete bombardment and a street defence wouid annihilate. It may be calcu.at.cd, on this basis, thai au amount equal to half the va ue or the buildings ls invested tn furniture or other contents or the dwellings. Thus lt is estimated that the sum of $365.875.000 ls the value or the for-' nitnre and other contents or Parisian houses. Next ls the mock lu trado of shops and ware? houses In Paris, the value or which ls probably one-third or tho aggregate In the above amounts, another sum ut $365.675,000. These three amounts sum up a total of $1,453.600,000, which may bc taken as the minimum value of private property lu Paris destructible in a siege. To this must be added the losses already sustained In thc environs-the destruction of roads, bridges, and other works uot insurable, and not hen; reckoned; the danger Impending over monuments, libraries, museums and wons of art, whose real wonh cannot be reckoned in money, and the tremendous nud wholly unestt mable sacrifice of life which such a destruction of property would imply, lt ls easy enough to talk of ' the siege of Pans," but lt ls terrible to con? template wuat that really means, ir the earth were to yawn and swallow up half the city aud the people, the devastation would scarcely ex? ceed what the bombardment and capture by the Prussians would amount to. Marder of a ff cn in Paris. , A beleaguered correspondent writing from Paris to the Glasgow Mall, under date or November 4th, says: I regret to chronicle a very sad affair-perhaps the only serious offence that has disgraced the much tried Paris sin ce Its Investment. From thc opening ot thc siege, the Sisters ot Charity of th? Hospital Cochin luve distributed every day, to all poor persons who have called on them, milk for Infants and the sick. A woman who lives In the neighborhood did not come fur her usual supply the other day until a very late hoar. She was in? formed by the Sisters that by this time very Utile milk was lett, but that they would give her ail they could spare. Ber vessel wai taken from her. and afterwards returned three quarters full. The woman became angry and insolent, and upbraided the nuns for not keep? ing for her a proper allowance, as she came regu? larly every day. She wentoff, threatening with lively meuaces the Sister whose duty lt was to distribute the milk amona tho poor. Next day Bhe came back at the ordinary time, and seemed angrier even than before, shouting, '-I must pay off that nun I" Un the third day she contrived to insinuate herself-perhaps not too gently-Into thc pacage that leads Into the kitchen of the Sisters, and then, snatching n n>sh knife tram a table, she wwylald her charitable foe When the Sister had tin Ls neu her dlsirinutlon of food, and returned to the kitchen, the woman plunged the knife Into her b eist, the effect being to Injure fatally one of her innes. For three or Tour days the poor nun lingered; on the filth she died. THE LATE COLONEL HAGOOD. A- Tribute to his Memory. At a meeting of the surviving members o? or the First Regiment South Carolina Volunteers, commanded by the late Colonel James R. Hagood, held at Barnwell Courthouse on the 17th Novem? ber, Captain J. V. Martin was called to the chair, and Captain J, Fletcher Brabham waa requested to oct as sec etar., The chairman stated that the object or the meeting was to pay a tribute of respect to the memory of their late commander, wno had re? cently come to a melancholy death ty an injury received on the 12th instant, In the terrible acci? dent on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The meeting being declared organized and ready for business. Sergeant l>. P. Patterson In? troduced the following preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted : Whereas, God Almighty, tu tho dispensation or Bis most mysterious providence, has removed rrom this world, by a sudden and awful death, Colonel James H. Hagood, who, in t-.e fiery and bloody ordeal cl tbe recent past, proved by his daring In battle and his devotion tc duty that he was. a most worthy son or hts heroic State, and by his brilliant record satisfied all men that, In the time or S nth Carolina's trUl, he could be re? lied on -s among ber foremost defenders-to lead tbe advance and to die lu the last forlorn hope. And whereas we, the surviving soldiers or his regiment, desire to place upon his new-made grave our affectionate tribute to hts heroism and worth. Therefore, be lt Besotted by us, the surviving members or the First Regiment S. C. V.. That we saw Colonel Ha? good on the weary march, the lonely watch, and in the desperate assault, for our three years or in? cessant battle, und his bearing upon all occasions was Buch as to overflow the full measure of the man and the soldier. Resolved. That as a commander he was lirra and "Just, yet kind; as a leader he went where few could follow; as a soldier lie fought only for vic? tory, and desired victory only from the patriotic desire to see established the holy cause which is consecrated by the best blood of the noblest ol his countrymen. Resolved, That we reserve to surselves (with the consent or his family) the privilege of erecting a monument over the grave of our dead command? er, brother soldier and friend, which shall attest, as long as matter lasts, our appreciation of his nobie character and our sincere grief. Resolved, That the secretary do communicate to his family, and to each captain of our regiment, a copy of these resolutions, as a testimonial of our common amletlon, and that they be published in the Charleston and Barnwell papers. On mo lon, the chairman appointed Lieutenant Colone' Kirkland, captain J. Fletcher Brabha u and Captain J. S. Stoney a committee to carry out the object indicated iu thc third resolution, and the meeting then adjourned. J. V. MARTIN, Chairman. * J. FLETCHER BRABHAM, Secretary.
