Ol late there have been heavy . ?aine, and the water courses have been full. These may have loosened the rock, which, fall qg in huge fragments, covered the valleys be ?eatb like wave? of lava.

The twelve millions of bonds, principal and interest, will amount on luiy 1st, 1371, to $20,440,000, and interest on the-unpaid coupons will make the total in? debtedness of the State on tbis account gome- . thing more than thirty millions. The motive for this return to virtue, lt ls charged, ls that the legislators, before acting on lite matter, bought up the bulk of the repudiated bonds at a merely nominal value, which, ll true, Ls more Infamous than original repudiation. It Bhould he remembered, howev?r, that the State of Mississippi always claimed that these bonds, Issued by the* Union Bank and thc Planters* Bank of that State, on the faith of the State, were never authorized by the State, and, therefore, that there was no "repudia? tion"' in the right sense of the word. Iron on the Sea. The comparative value of iron and wood for shipbuilding was the subject of a very interesting and instructive paper lately read before the British Iron-and Steel Institute by Mr. Charles M. Palmer, an eminent ship? wright of the Tyne. ' His statements cannot fail to strike the attention o? practical men everywhere. Basing his calculations upon the exigences of British shippers for a series of years, Mr. Palmer shows that, for commercial purpos?s, an iron ship of one and one quarter ioch thickness of skin is equal to a wooden ship of six inches thick without joints, if such a thing were-possible. This estimate is made on the well-establish Bd rules erf comparative tensile strength' of materials. In the matter or weight, the disproportion between iron and wooden tonnage is much greater than is commonly supposed. Aa iron vessel of .one thousand too3 will weigh 35 per cent less than a wooden vessel of the same measurement, the displacement of water being tbe same; but the iron ship has a further advantage in having more space for cargo, and in the Tact that it can be built longer and with finer tines, thus adding to her sailing qualities. An iron ship is not likely to strain In a heavy sea, whereas the straining bf wooden ships often destroys or greatly damages valuable cargoes.. Moreover, the use of iron masts, steel yards and wire rigging effect"? a very large Baving in weight aloft, and affords greater opportunity for the ap? plication of improved apparatus for reefing, sails and other labor-saying. appliances, by which an important economy in running ex? penses is effected. It is generally believed that, in the matter of first cost,-the iron ship is necessarily more expensive than a wood? en ship of the same measurement, and ex? p?rience has shown this to be the case in this lonntry; but, according to the carefully prepared statistics presented by Mr. Palmer, it appears that au iron vessel of .one thou? sand tons, taking first cost, repairs, man? agement, and all other elements into con? sideration, will carry merchandise 25 per 3ent. cheaper than a wooden ship of the jame capacity, and last, with fair usage, rom one-third to one-half longer. It is for hese reasons, well understood by shippers hat iron is fast superseding wooden ton lage in the commercial marine of Ute world; md it may now be considered an established act that any nation seeking to build up a larrying trade upon the ocean in competi ion with those countries which now enjoy i practical monopoly of that trude, must lo so with iron, and not with wooden tou mge. The first iron ship that went to. sea was milt a*t Birmingham, and put together in condon, no longer ago than 1820. The pro udice in favor of the old inateriaL was very lifGcult to overcome, and as late as 1S50 here was only one ton of iron to nine aud a lalf tons ol' wooden vessels constructed in british yards. Since then the ratio bas apidly increased, and in 1865 the iron ton- . tage exceeded that of wood. During the inst five years wooden shipbuilding has apidly declined. ' Mr. Palmer thinks the .mount of iron put into ships within the louudaries of Great Britain within the lust wenty years cannot fall short of 2,021,100 ens, and estimates the quantity used in 870-ttlone at 250,000 tous. Iron shipbuild? ing in the Uuited States is scarcely worth nentiouing, and the causes which operate igaiost it are said to be chiefly the high >rice of labor at the foundries and ship? yards. The average percentage of excess n wages in the United States over Great britain is set down as follows-: lu foundries md machine shops, 57 per eent. ; in rolling ailis, 48 per cent. ; and in ship-yards, 47 >er cent. Added to this the protective tariff (wells the cost of iron imported from Eng and, and tho result is that the American ihipowner is forced to be behind the times,. ind ese wood instead of irou.. Mr. Palmer >elieves that within a comparatively short une tho carrying-trade of the world will be lone in irou steamers. Even in the long royages to India, China and Australia, vhere sailing vessels have heretofore been ised to most advantage, a change ls likely ooo to occur. Recent important imprpve aenls tu marine engines have lessened tire onsumption of fuel to such au extent that .on screw steamers are sure to soon drbc ut all competitors. This result is rendered lie more certain by the completion of the uez Canal From these views, which art-entitled to reat weight, it would seem that the uge of 'on has begun upon the sea as well aa on he In nd.* Tho Suez Canal. Amid tho excitement attending the "ranco-Prussiun war, public attention has 1 teen diverted, in gre?.', measure, from the- 1 5uez Canal und ita business. The work, ?owever, of improving and deepenlug the .anal has, we are told, been going on with >ut interruption Although no official re- , jori has yet been issued from the head- ? garters of the company in Paris, showing ( he uuanclal results or the first year's busi- ! jess or tho canal; an unofficial statement is ! published, on the authority 0f the officers of Lae Company, which ^shows .the average monthly- receipts to have been-about $100, 000, or $l,200juu0 for the-year, Suppoeing these figures to be approximately correct, it is evident that the calculations of the pro? jectors of the enterprise upon the passage of 3,060,000 tons of shipping during the first year, have not been realized. The transit toll is ten francs, and at this rate the sum represented as the receipts ft-prn the .first year's traffic of the canal represents only a tonnage of from five hundred to six hundred thousand tons. It is.a noteworthy fact that the tonnage following the canal route con? sists mostly of screw steamers, a class of | vessels which it seems to have called into ! existence, since no such steamers were for? merly employed in the trade whicli the canal was built to accommodate. From the mea? gre and unofficial returns now nt hand, it is impossible to tell what was the proportion of receipts to operating expenses, but if, as is thought, the former have fully covered the latter, it Is not improbable that the increase j of business which may be confidently an? ticipated will, at some future tjme, yield moderate divido?ds to stockholders. The disturbed condition of Europe has doubt? less had an unfavoreble effect upon the traffic of the canal, and, ander more favora? ble conditions, it maj be expected that more favorable results will be attained. ?bittiarn.

No class of invalids are more sensitive to changes or season, and varia'Jitna of temperature Than dyspeptics, and persons of bilious habit. Tender lungs are not more easily affected by these vicis? situdes than feeble stomachs. If there la a.ten? dency 1? the system to indigestion, biliousness or bowel complaints, th?? variable weather of early spring ts almost sure to develop one or the other of these ailments. Iniermlitent fevers are also more prevalent in the sp lng months than at any other season except autumn.' In view of these facts, this seems to be a proper time to Invite es? pecial attention to HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS, a medicine which for a long series of years has proved superior to all others os a remedy for th; above named disorders, and as protection against the miasma which frequently produces, and always aggravates them.' It was formerly the pract?celo give violent cathartics as "spring medicine," norla the custom yet entl aly obso? lete. Nothing, however, eau be more ill-judged aud unphllosophlcal. The chilling moisture wfth which the air ls loaded at the breaking np of win? ter, presses heavily upou the vital forces of the body, and reinforcemeut, not depletion, is what lt requires. The Bitters ls a genial and excellent tonic,a moderate alterative, and Just enongh'of an aperient to regulate, without convulsing, the bowels. It ls, therefore, a specific peculiarly adapted to thc present season. marll-6D?c fSf CITY TAX NOTICE. -OFFICE OF CITY APPRAISER, CITT HALI* CHARLESTON, S.
