Wire-Bret Harte-Greeley and bis Tribun*-Colonizing tbe Scnth Queer Weather. [FROM OUR OWN CdBMSPONDKNT.] NEW YORK, April li. The German peace celebration yesterday was unquestionably the largest popular dem? onstration o? the kind ever had on this conti? nent. Though the. crowds on the sidewalks may not have equalled those which gathered in New York on the occasions of the cable celebration, the receptions of the Prince of Wales and the Japanese Ambassadors., and the LIB coli: funeral, the number of people in the line of procession has never been equalled. There could not have been ?ess than sixty, thousand men and about two hundred women on the tramp. Tbopoanagement was admirable; there was no contusion whatever; the men, thanks to their military training at home, fell Into line and marched through the entire route of near? ly ten miles, with tue ease and measured tread of old soldiers. There were not above half-a dozen fuddled, And the jr were good-naturedly so. The pretty young women, with bare necks and arms, personating "Germania," "Liberty" i * and other abstract deities, and mounted on the top of lofty and oftentimes rather Ticketty triumphal monuments of lumber, bore the baking rays of the sun and the fatigue of standing upright for hours. The Bowery was la gala costume. From every house fluttered the German and Ameri? can flags, with colors Innumerable pendant from the windows. At night, the east side of New York-the German quarter-was a blaze ol light from myriads of gas jets and candles. There were many transparencies and inscrip? tions. One feature of the entire demonstra? tion, by day and flight, was noticeable. There was not a word on the banners or the bouses that could j u?t ly hum l?tate the fallen French? men. Everywhere it was a rejoicing for. peaee, for unity-nowhere lor victory. One who sympathized with France .?in the late .wer, bears tribute to the excellent taste and gener? ous spirit, oi the noble German people, as. shown on this occasion. ' Two things else were conspicuous; the solitary French flag which floated over Del m on i co's Fourteen! h street hoime. and the absence from tbe streets of the Irish popula? tion, which usually makes up so large a pro? portion of Ute sight-seers when New York has a holiday. ' Yon know, perhaps, that New York ls the third German city In the jrorld; only ViennaandBerlln having more German residents. So ic is also the second Irish city, Dublin being Its only superior. In time it will doubtless* rank ah three of th ose capitals. Take away tho .Irish element from a New York street-crowd, and ".JU may Imagine, perhaps, how oddly the dry looked ah the Ger? man masses trod Broadway. . The poor Frenchmen were absolutely Invisible. Some of their houses. In rte French -quarter, (Greene and Thompson streets ? near. Oana! street, ) were draped in sable; the others, were closed. The AisaSrarrs arab observed the day as- one of mourning. The- Americana seemed to Join heartily in the spirit which appeared to ani? mate the Teutons In their rejoicings for peace. Charles Matthews made bia re-entree to the American boards at the little theatre in Twen? ty-fourth street last night. He had an ovation, J.course. Age (he ls over sixty) has not ?ened hrs Joints or tamed bis acting, ile Ried away with, all that delightful volubility h i ch so charmed the play-goers of the last ^generation. He is" one of the few actors who can perform the'feat of personattog tipsiness without a particle of grossness. It Ts fourteen years since Matthews was In America. That visit was memorable to him. fie ran off with tbe beautiful Mrs. Dolly J'avenport, n?e Lizzie Weston, to Jersey City, and actually married her. Her husband, from, whom she was not divorced, naturally found fault with the ar? rangement. He contented himself, however, with merely cowhiding Matthews on Broad? way, and then suffering him to carry off the prize lo England. Mrs. Charles Matthews be? came a favorite in London; and played ber fore the Queen. She ls with her veteran sec? ond husband on this visit, but does not act Bret Harte is going to leave us to rake up his residence J n -Boston. He bas been living at the house of a married sister in Fifth avenue. Bret ls the literary rage of the hour. The book sellera say that ten copies of bis poemt or stories are selling now to one of any otter book in their stores. The "Heathen Chinee" bas made him - lamons-, though lt ls really among. the least meritorious of his poems. Among his stories "The Outcasts of Poker Flat" ls not equalled In power In American literature, outside of Pot's volumes. Biet has the ?wo characteristics which are the tests of genius among narrative writers-humor and and pathos to an eminent degree. He begins like Thackeray and Dickens, with short sketches, and prob-.bly like them he will pres? ently blossom into a three-volumes novelist. . He is now under engagement to Osgood, the successor of Tickner ?, FieldB, In Boston, to wriie'exclusively for tbem for a year. A newspaper in this city offered him $10,000 per annum, but; be declined. A few years ago be was an unknown pedagogue In California. . The Tribune people celebrated the thirty first anniversary of that paper yesterday. Mr. Greeley indulged . in an editorial unusually boastful and selMaudatory. When be began the paper be 'was sole proprietor. Now the stock is divided among twenty owners.- Only - two of Greeley's assistants, In making up the first number, remalli .with him-Rooker, the present lorernan, and* O'Rourk'e, the chief en gtaeen, They are both stockholders, and the fitter ls a good Democrat.

The Senate continued the Ku-Klux debate to-day, and meets to-night for talk only. Tne bill will be disposed of to-morrow. The House v as engaged on the deuclency appropriation bill. The Senate amendment repealing the law' 'fixing time for the meeting of ConaresB on March 4th, was concurred in by"a vote of ninety-nine to ninety-eight. In the course ot the discussion on that amendment Dawes said, he believed this session had been a mistake, and that there would be more to repent than boast of. He alluded to the wrangling In tbe House, and to the deeper wounds lu the Senate, which- Wed Internally. If anything induces the people to forgive them it would be that moderate mea? sures bad prevailed lu a few days. Beck, in advocating concurrence, said that the next Congrees would be Democratic, and their speaker would then be in the same embarrassing position as tbe present speaker was now placed in, with regard to the appointment of committees, beiore he became acquainted with the members. Besides, they would have a Democratic, President, and there woifkl be no danger or his violating the pro? visions of the constitution. CROP PROSPECTS IN ANDERSON. >'KOM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] PENDLETON, .S. C., April ll. I have been walling. for the full moon in April to report a killing irost, but it nae paet, and co frost to do any damage. I am one of the "oldest Inhabitants," and I can find no record of such weather, from January to April, as I DOW have before me. On. reviewing my record for the last two months, I have almost come to the conclusion that I have been so overwarmed by "mountain dew/' "old Bour? bon," or more probably by taxpaying excite? ment, on the occurrence of cold snaps since my last notes, that they have had no chilling effect on me. Yet I hear every one speaking of the remarkably mild and pleasant weather throughout February and March. A little too mach raia at times, bat less wind through March thau I have ever known. April borrow? ed a few of her first days from March, but since all ls calm and pleasant I find my last note of a cold morning was on the 24th Janu? ary, when the thermometer stood at twenty eight degrees;, afterwards (26th) a light sleet and cold rain, with a little snow. The first peach blooms I note the 5th of March. On the. 26tb, a light frost followed by cold rain and a light sleet. We have now, the 9th, unusually warm and growing weather, with a prospect of rain, which is needed. Some of our planters are getting their cotton seed in the ground, and much more corn has already been planted. In our immediate sur? roundings I do not think the full number of acres w.ll be planted in cotton as was last year. The sale of, commercial fertilizers, it is said, have considerably lallen off" fro.", tho last years operations. I cannot say what amount other agents have sold, but I can say, .as agent of Messrs. Wilcox, Gibbs & Co.. I have sold much more than last year-to date. Whether from our perseverance and thc offer of better terms to the planters, or whether from our manure being on trial, found the most reliable and best paying; according to the prioe at which lt is sold, I will not venture to assert. I have tried very few of the many other highly extolled fertilizers; but such as J have tried I consider not equal, all things in view, to Messrs. G robs & Co. Our small grain crop ls quite promising. Barley In the head, wheat in good land, and early sown, in the boot. And oras, especially fall fco wn,'-will be so soon. And so ot clever and grass and millet lots, unfortunately too few and far between, which, if we had In propor? tion to our stock, would relieve us of the un? pleasant and injurious necessity of fodder pul? ling-Injurions to the corn, I mean, which I have long si nee proven to my satisfaction, or rather, dw-sntisiaction. ii you choose. On the subject of the Impositions of. our model Legislature ol cut-throats, rascals and , rogues, on the honest and non-represented taxpayers of the State, I have not much to say. You have given us line uoon line on the subject of these vi Manies, until the vocabulary ls well nigh exhausted; bot what good does it do ? Tney have no conscience or honor to touch, and it ls only kicking against the pricks to attempt it. There 1B one won} I may whisper ta your ear, however, and that is, the people do not intend to pay this second tax In 1991. Nordel think, oar very Willing ?nd subservient tax-collectors will venture to at? tempt, the collection by their threats of penal? ties and doable taxes, which, when enforced, very rarely, lt ls suspected, go Into the treas? ury, er beyond the deposit of their own pockets.
