NEWS OF THE DAT. -Gold at New York closed at 12$al2i. -The New York cotton market closed doll and-easier; uplands 19 jc; sales 2000 bales. -At Liverpool cotton closed Btrong; uplands Dan Jd; sales 25,000 bales. -Itnas been decided to hold an internation? al exhibition in Vienna in 1873. -There is such an over-Bupply of Ice in New England that the price is said to be declining i almost to a nominal figure. -Amelia Garcia, a beaut ful young actress who was a great favorite in New Orleans, hav? ing been crossed In love, killed herself re? cently.;. - -There is to be a three-cornered municipal -contest In San Francisco, the Republican?, ^Democrats and Labor Reformers all having full tickets In the field. -The American Colonization Society bas more than two thousand applications already for passage to Liberia in the vessel which wtll be sent out In November next. -The project of cutting a canal to unite the Baltic and the North Sea is now under serious consideration in Berlin. Tho enterprise is ; said to be feasible, the only serious obstacle in the way being a plateau two or three miles wide and about sixty-eight feet at its highest elevation. -The Millerltes have ciphered out this time that, according to the prophecies of Daniel, the world will come to an end, and we shall have "the second advent" about the Sd ol September. Consequently, eays the New York Herald, among the fail?lul believers in this calculation Wamsulta colton for ascension gowns ls in great rcqueBt. -The New York Standard says tbf.t the pro? gramme of the Republicans who do not agree that the renomination of General Grant is wise ls to nominate Schuyler Colfax. Further, that, the movement is under the especial patronage ol Mr. Greeley, and Its lrlends am-on!; wait? ing for the opportune time to spring bis name before the country. The* Standard thinks all the movements of Mr. Colfax con? firm this theory. -The late Empress of France used olten, when a child at Granada, as Eugenie Monlijo, to be danced upon the knee of Washington Ir? ving. In a letter written in 18?i, just alter the elevation of Eugenie to the high ?talion she filled for eighteen years, Irving wrote the fol? lowing, which now reads almost like prophecy: "The last I saw o? Eugenie Mont ?jo she was one of the reigning belles of Madrid. Now Eugenie 16 upon a throne, launched from a re? in rn less shore, upon a dangerous sea, Infamous for Its tremendous shipwrecks. Ain I to live to see the calastroplie of her career and the end of this suddenly conjured up empire, w li i ch seems to be made of such stuff as dreams are made ol ? I confess my personal aoqnalnianoe with the individuals in this historical romance gives me an uncommon interest ?a it,- bul l consider it stamped with danger and instabili? ty and as liable to extravagant vicissitudes ns one ot Dumui's n?vete." -A new Industry has, during th? past two years, sprung up in Richmond, and at venous points along the railroads throughout Virginia, viz : the manufacture of sassafras oil, willoh is extensively used for scenting 6oap and flavor? ing tobacco. In Richmond this business is carried on on an extensive scale by a firm ol j colored persons, which uses up forly thousand poonda of sassalras root a week, or ten thou ?and pounds a day, ns the factory runs only lour days of lhe week. The oil manufactured amounis lo about two per cont, ol' the stock used, 40,000 pounds cf root producing 803 .pounds of unrectified oil, which is still further reduced by the piocess ol rectification and cleansing from sediment, which it lias to go -through before it becomes marketable. A gal? lon of fine sassafras oil weighs ten pounds, and about forty gallons are produced every week. The raw material is purchased at the Richmond lactory nt the rate of liiirly cents per hundred pounds, and the gatherers ol the root, it is sta? led, can make as much as iwo dollars a day by .hard work. Wheo ihe root hos been received at iheluetory, lt is first cut np fine by a chop? ping machine, and then placed In a large tub or vat, wkich ls closed with a H^ht-fitting cover, and steam is forced through the whole muss. The oil is then distilled by tue ordinary process. -Ol 1 wornout mils have of Into year? given rise lo a trade, of Hie magnitude and impor? tance ot which but lew Rot interested io it have any idea. New York and Philadelphia nre annually in receipt ol imm.-nse shipments, principally irom England, alih nigh occasional cargoes are also received from continental porls, aud a few from Ibe West India Islands aud South America; and the demand from the rohing mills and iron foundries f->r old rails has recently increased this trade to such an extent that the demand is fur in advance of the supply, and sales are made alicost alto? gether lo arrive, and on n '?cid t-25'8 entirely/. The advantages possessed by this form of iron for entering into new manufactures are seve? ral, among which are convenience o? form and shape for piling and heating, superiority and compactness of the metal, from the constant pressure of locomotive j and trains to which lt has been subjected, and the facility for work i?0 it with new iron with less trouble and fewer manipulations than any other forms of old iron. Enormous quantities of old rails are brought from across the Atlantic by vessels, and thence by railroad over the Alleghenies to the mills of Pittsburg and Johnstown, where, phoenix-like, they arise from their ashes and again assume the aspect and usefulness of former days. Old roils a"e also largely patron? ized by the makers of railroad spikes and bolts, and by the manufacturers of fishplates and tai?. on account of the toughness and su? perior quality of this metal. J The state-Our First Care ! The Columbia Union, would expect the Democratic party, if they succeedeilin elect? ing a State ticket in ?outb Carolina, to re? move all the Eddie;'.'? from office and Hil the places with Dcm; crate. But if a fusion party-such a*? u Citizens' or Reform par ty were organized, uai were to carry the State, the people, a chording to the Union, would have a right to object to the Demo? crats monopolizing the fruits of a victory which, without assistance, they could not have won. Applying this principle to the late municipal election in this city, our con? temporary asks whether the attempt to ad? minister the city government of Charleston in the interest, and at the dictation, of Democratic politicians, would not be a fraud upon the"people? As the Union knows, this journal bas not treated the election of the Wagener ticket as a party triumph. We honestly believed, and still believe, that it was necessary to the well-beiDg and progress of all the people of Charleston, without distinction of race or class, that the Pillsbury party should be defeated. Upon this broad ground, the Citi? zens' party invited the co-operation of Radi? cals and Democrats, of whites and blacks. The pledge was given that the new city government would be impartial in all its dealings-that the one great aim of its mem? bers would be to put Charleston in a posi? tion favorable to ber improvement and that of her people. Upon the faith of these declarations, a large number of colored men, and a few white Radicals, joined with the Democrats and elected General Wagener and bis ticket by a handsome majority. . The new Council do not take their seats until November. They will then show the Union that they mean to fulfil, in good faith, their every promise, expressed or im? plied. We SH confident that there will be no political persecution. We are sure that men will be appointed, or elected, to office on ac? count of their fitness, without regard to the color of the skia. It is, in truth, our expec? tation that the colored people, especially, will earn more, and receive more, from the city, under the Wagener administration, than they ever did under the paternal rule of Pillsbury. It is the wish or the thought? ful and substantial citizens of Charleston that the very set who have most distrusted tbeir assurances of fair play and equal rignts shall be assured, by tangible facts, that they have gained, not lost, by the overthrow of ignorance and corruption. And if we esti? mate correctly the character of the Mayor and Aldermen elect, these are firmly resolved to pursue the course we have indicated, not merely because it i3 politic, but because itr is .honest, just and right. The Union says, with tru'", that there are .many local governments which need the re? forming touch of Citizens* ticket?. It be? lieves that, if the Dew administration in Charlton are actuated hy. a catholic and liberal spir.t, the result^will be seen in simi? lar successes elsewhere, which will redound to the purification of parties and the well? being of the State. We hope so. But why .should the plan of reform adopted in Charles? ton be confined to municipal elections? Does not the State Government require cleansing? Are there not, in Columbia, "certain leeches, whose insatiable maws are "fast reducing" the State "to bankruptcy?" Tor National politics, in comparison with the peace and happiness of South Carolina, we care very little. We live here-not in Washington. To obtain a good government Tor the State should be our first care. When that work is accomplished, we may take an active part in Federal questions and Presi? dential elections. AB long as the election of State officers is made a party question, so long shall we be without a government in whose hands the interests of all conditions of men will be safe. But a fair, generous and progresivo State Government may be ob? tained, beyond a doubt, in 1672, if the people cf the whole State agree, as in Charleston, to sink, for the moment, all party differences, and devote all their energies to tho election of such persons os will faith? fully and impartially represent them. What says the Union ? -Tilt- Union Troops from the South." The Lonisvilie Courier argues that the best blood of the South was in the Confede? rate army, because of tho inferior quality of the Union troops from the slaveholding States, who lost more flags than they cap? tured, while the Union troops from the non slaveholding States captured more flags than they lost. The Courier is right ia its con? clusions, but wrong in its premises. It is a well-known fact that the so-called Virginia, Tesas and Carolina regiments in the Union army were not composed of Southerners, but were made np, nearly entirely, of for? eigners, negroes and the scourings of North? ern eities. We disclaim all responsibility for their short-coming*, and ask no credit for their prowess. The Fall Klections. Elections are to be he'd thi3 fall in the States of California, Maine, Texas, Pennsyl? vania, Ohio, Iowa. Maryland, Massachu? setts, Mississippi, Minnesota, New Yoik, New Jersey and Wisconsin, and in the Ter? ritories of New Mexico and Wyoming. Cali? fornia votes on the 6tb of September for Governor, State officers and three members of Congress. The canvass is very animated, and the contest will be close, with no very large majority on either side. Governor Haight is the Democratic candidate for Gov? ernor, and Newton Booth the Republican candidate. Wyoming elects a Territorial Legislature September 5. The Maine elec? tion for Governor and Legislature takes place September H. Ferham, lav present Governor, is the Republican candidate'for Governor, and C. P. Kimball-is his Demo? cratic competitor. The election in New Mexico for delegate in Congress, September ll. Texas votes for fonr members of Con? gress, October i. The Democratic candi? dates are : Ia the First District, W. S.

Maryland elects State officers and a Legislature November 7 ; on the same day Massachusetts elects a Governor, State officers and a Legislature; also, Mississippi elect3 a*Legisiature; Minnesota elects a Governor, State officers and a Legislature; and Illinois elects a member ot Congress at large.

They average 310 page.,, daodec'mo, and are sold at setmty-floe cents a volume, fourteen volumes completing the set. The Pickwick papers (one volume) and Oliver Twist, and the Christ- j mas Stories, (one volume,) are already out, and for sale at Russell's in King street.

In cheapness and gecera! attractiveness the "Handy" Dickens surpasses all the Appleton's previous volumes in lite way of popu'ar 1. ature, S?KCHKDON. A Legend of the Great Queen. Uv G. J. Whvte Melville. New York : D. App;eton & Co. 1871. Charleston: John Russell. Mr. Melville ls exploring the ole mine, and now gives the public" a craphic story of the days of Semiramis and Nlnu?. The plot hinges on "the old story and orten told" of | woman's love and man's irresolution ; but the actors in the drama are grand types of muscu? lar infidelity. It is a brave story, as stirring and fascinating as the sensational society nov? els, and free from their sickening show of big? amous blondes nod herculean dandies. Price CO cent?.
