Address RIORDAN. DAWSON A CO.. No. 149 East Bay. Charleston. S.O. Ihr (Ebarlr-Stcn |Cito>? TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1871. y EWS OF THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at lOjalOj. -In New York cotton closed strong; up? lands IB j cents; sales 4029 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed strong; uplands Did.. Orleans 9?a9?d.; sales 15,000 bales. -In England minstrel companies are cared American slave troupes. -Daniel Gleason, of North Adams, Mass., killed bis wife with a dirk knife yesterday. Cause-jealousy. -Dr. Hartmann, a prominent physician ot St. Louis, has brought suits against the Times of that city for three libel?, laying his aggre? gate damages at fourteen thousand dollars. -It is said that while the Chicago water w-rkB were out of order the milkmen distribu? ted to their customers the richest milk ever enjoyed in that city. -Hats of the kind just now worn by ladies are said to be reproductions of the styles worn for the last huadred years by the women of the Swiss cantons. -The Emperor William, of Germany, is now in his seventy-fifth year; but his bair and beard alone betray his age. His complexion is still fresh, and his powers ol endurance are as great as ever. It is thought he owes his physical powers to his pimple, soldier-like mode of living, although he comes of a strong a nd hardy family. -In a suit brought by the widow of a pas? senger killed by .he explosion ol the Staten Island steamer Westfield, In New York, to re? cover damages, the owners of the vessel set up the extraordinary plea that the passenger had no right on the boat, because, under the laws of the State, Sunday travelling ls a mis? demeanor. That is to say, remarks the Tri? bune, lt was illegal for the murdered man to travel on Sunday, and tlitrtfort legal to blow him np on that day. -Reports received from London by mail say lt ls estimated there are ten millions sterling belonging to the French government on de? posit there, and held for payment of the Ger? man Indemnity. The monetary disturbance in Paris has partially abated. It is reported the Bank of France intends to double its capital, making it $375,000,000 francs. Money ls plen. tlful In Germany, and is rapidly drifting Into American securities. Germany will next year redeem ?30.000,000 sterling of war loan, half of 't In January and February. -Representatives ot Brazil in foreign coun? tries have received a circular from the Bra. zlllan Minister of Foreign Aff?u~s, dated Sep? tember 30, 1871, which contains an official an? nouncement of the Brazilian emancipation act. Notwithstanding the fears entertained bj some of the peoole of Brazil, that the passage of tbls act would produce serious labor troubles in that country, not the least disturbance of the tranquillity of the Empire, the circular states, has resulted from the emancipation ot the slaves. -The bill now before the German Imperial Parliament for the government of the newly acquired region of Alsace-Lorraine, provides that the district shall furnish for the German army a contingent of 15,589 men, distributed Into six regiments of infantry and lour of cavalry. Wurtemberg, with a population about equal to that of Alsace-Lorraine, has been ordered to tumis!, a contingent of 17,784 men, being treated more harshly than aoy other German State. Wurtemberg lormerly kept up an army ot 13,468 men only, so that the military burdens now imposed upon the people are twenty-five per cent, greater than before the Franco-German war. The in? crease of the armies ot Baden and Hesse, how- 1 ever, is only one and a half per cent. -Communications have recently passed be- 1 tween the French and English governments 1 on the subject of a tunnel under the Straits ol ? Dover. There are eight hundred feet in depth ? ot chalk between Dover and Calais, and chalk can be worked as easily as Dutch cheese. A ' tunnelling machine has been Invented which ' can make a hole sr ven feet in diameter and j eighteen yards forward in the chalk stratum in twenty-four hon:?. It ls maintained that with ] this machine the drift-ways of the proposed tunnel can be driven in one year, and the en? largement and completion will follow in two ? or three years more. Though fifty million . dollars has been put down as the probable cost, tao statistics and success of the Mont Cenls tunnel causes many competent judges to re- ' duce that figure considerably. 'J -The toyB with which the Prince Imperial i used to amuse himself before his "baptism of 1 fire" were sold in Paris recently. A world of pains had evidently been taken with the t Prince who was to have inherited the empire c of the Napoleons, to get into bis head by ( means of object lessons the technicalities ol t Vauban and Concorn. He was giveu toy for j tresses with toy lunes and demi-lunes; toy ditches, toy counterscarps, toy positions- ' such as woods, hills and streams,.whose tin beds could be filled. Notwithstanding these E attempts to initiate yoting Verhuel into the 1 mysteries ol campaigns and sieges, his mind, * like the minds of plebeian children, longed for ? the vulgar delights of the Punch and Judy t Bhow, and a miniature theatre in which those t two famous personages figured was evidently , the most used of all the toys. -They have Introduced a novel method to guard against certain railroad accidents on 1 .ne of the Michigan lines. This consists sim- ' ply in placing a bell in frc-ht of the boiler of the ' locomotive, either under or over the head- 1 light, where it ls arranged in such a manner that, at each revolution of the driving-wheels, I it ls struck by a hammer, and, therefore, i when the train is in motion, keeps up a con? stant din. This, it would seem, must be df- < rogatory to the tympanums of the engineer, < fireman and passengers generally; but people 1 who have travelled on these ringing trains as- j sert that they experience no annoyance, as < tte btfU, nader ordinary circumstances, can- ( not be heard on board of the train, owing to ! the rapid motion which throws the sound for- j ward, frcm its position in front of the locomo- ' tBve, so that it can be heard a considerable ' distance In advance ol the train, thus giving timely warning. The general superintendent < af the road thinks that Borne recent accidents ' would have been certainly prevented by the use of this melodious arrangement, 1 -A royal warrant was issued in Great Bri'- ! aln, October 31, the day on which the pur- j cbase system ceased, regulating lor the future the appointment and promotion of officers In the British army. According to this, first ap? pointments may be gl?en to (1.) successful candidates at competitive examinations; (2.) Matriculated students of any of the universi? ties; (3.) Queen'' cadets, Indian cadets and pages of honor, who pass a qualifying exami? nation, and to DOD-commicsioned officers who pass a proiessional examination. Sub-lieuten? ants, to qualify lor the rank of lieutenant, must serve satisfactorily in a regiment for a year, and pass (except promoted non-com? missioned officers) a professional examination. If they fail to pass such examination within three years, or prove morally or physically unfit for their duties, they may be removed. Lieutenants in the militia, by passing this examination, may obtain a lieutenancy in the army. A qualified lieutenant shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of captain after two years' service. A qualified captain shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of major alter six years' servid. In the case of officers entering the army after August 26, 1871, the length ol service shall begin to reckon from the date of their commissions as lieutenants; in the case of other officers from the date of their first commissions. A qualified officer holding the substantive rank of major shall be eligible for promotion to the rank of lieuten? ant-colonel. A "Wonderful Project. Perhaps the grandest scheme for the uti? lization of science which the mind of man has yet conceived, is that recently broached by Commodore Maury looking to the estab? lishment, by international co-operation, of a general and systematic pian of meteorologi? cal observations and crop reports, through the medium of a Conference of the leading meteorologists of this and other nations, similar to that which was held at Br?ssels ia 1853. There are two purposes, in particular, that Commodore Miury seeks to e?ect by the establishment of an uniform international system of meteorological and crop re? ports. The first is, the dissemination throughout the rural districts, both at home and abroad, of forecasts of the weather from day to day, so that farmers shall be able the better to guard their crops against the inju? ries they so often suffer from cyclones, and storms, and prolonged foul weather; and next, that they shall be furnished with trust? worthy reports of the crop prospects in all parts of the world, and thus, by an easy cal? culation, ascertain whether the market price of their products is likely to rise or decline. At present, owing to the vague and uncer? tain accounts that reach them, they are-in? capable of fixing the market value of their products, and are obliged to take what tbe middlemen think proper to give. "Usually," says Commodore Maury, "the buyer asks "the seller the price of the wares. But, with "regard to all of the chief agricultural sta "ples, the producer knows so little about "the yield in competing States and coun "tries, that be is compelled to go and ask "the buyers about it, and rennest them to "fix the price. What," he asks, "would "you think if your neighbor, who, wishing "to sell a horse, should go to the man who "wanted to buy, and ask him to tlx the "value and set the price ? Yet this is ex "actly what you do with your cotton and "grain, rice, sugar and tobacco, and all of "your staple productions. To relieve you ' from this, and to put you on a footing with "the factor in knowledge as to the yield of "the crop everywhere^ is exactly wliat these "resolutions ainvto da" We do not caro to go into the details by which Commodore Maury illustrates the de? pendence of the farmer and the planter upon the factor. The fact of this dependence is so well known that it will be very generally conceded. He also says, and very truly, that the reports of the crops, as given to the pub? lic through the press, or to the farmers through the circulars of factors, are partial and often wrong. He does not assert that this proceeds from design. He disclaims im? pugning the integrity of the factor; but be holds that the mode of acquiring the infor? mation is at best irregular, and is often de? ceptive, and he cites numerous instances, drawn from what are regarded as the best authorities, in proof of bis assertions. He next take3 up tbe current reports of the cotton crop, and to show bow frequently, by over-estimates, the price has been de? pressed, he g:ve3 the following table. He jays: "The cotton crop after it had all gone for? ward, and bad been delivered for shipment, ?.as found to fail below the estimates in the following named years, as follows, viz: The real crop ol 1823 fell below the estimated crop 25 per ct. 1838 fell below the estimated crop 244 per ct. 1840 fell below the estimated crop 25 per ct. 1843 fell below the estimated crop 15 per ct. 1846 fell below the estimated crop 15j per ct. 1849 fell below the estimated crop 23} per ct. 1856 fell below the estimated crop 18 per ct. I860 fell below the estimated crop 21 j per ct. Average 21 i. "These are not all the erroneous estimates hat occurred during this period of thirty-four rears. They are only extreme cases; but they ihow that on the average every fourth crop s over-estimated to the extent of more than Dne-flfth." As mo3t of the planters 3old at a price cor espoadiug to the estimated yield of Xhe ;rop, it was not they but the middlemen, :apttalists and speculators who profited by he ri3e in market value, when the crop was bund to have fallen from fifteen to twenty ive per cent below the earlier estimate. ?Vhat he aims to do is to establish such a lysten of reports, from all parts of the vorld, as shall show the average yield of >ach of the agricultural staples for that sea lOD, and thus do away with that element of incertainty to which the farmer and the cot x)n, tobacco, sugar, and rice planters, are sow subjected. He does not ask any aid from the govern nent in the shape of money. He simply lesires it to use its friendly influence with >ther nations to bring about an Interna lional Conference for the advancement of science, and for the especial benefit of all hose everywhere who till the earth. He jays: "The machinery lor putting the plan into jperation is, so far as this country ls con? cerned, all ready; all lt wants ls the gearing ip. You have your signal office where weather .eports are contln illy received by telegraph, ind whence telegraph ic forecasts are issued lally, and though this work is so new to offi? cers engaged In lt, their progress so far ls in ;be rlgnt direction. Yon have also the Agri? cultural Bureau, io the service of which re? ports, embodying many ol the facts and ob? servations required, are already made, or might be without any additional expense." But it is necessary to put thia ' ' machin >ry" to practical uses, and these are his suggestions : "Let us suppose, merely for the sake of illus ration, and by way of Bhowlng the miin fea urea of the plan, that the proper meitorolo ?ical stations have been occupied, ai d that .he observers and co-operators report upon the crops as well as upon the weather, and that at first, and In a tentative way, a special crop reporter be assigned to every district of tea thousand square miles la the States. It is his business to travel over his beat continually and to put himself in communication with In? telligent farmers in all parts ot lt; and through them, together with his own obser? vations, to keep the central office posted by regular reports (say monthly at first) as to the state and promise of each one of the staple crops of his district. At the same time, the meteorological observers in the district would send forward their observations and reports in detail for the same period, also by mail; while the telegraph observers keep up their daily reports both as to weather and crops. "This would give five crop reporters for Ala? bama; five for Tennessee; lour for Kentucky; and four for Ohio-and BO on in this country. In Europe, twelve for Great Britain, nineteen for France, one for Holland, one for Belgium, and so on. "These reporters would bave their attention, at the first going off, so as not to be lost in a wilderness of data, directed chiefly: in Ala? bama, to cotton and corn; in Tennessee, to corn and wheat; in Kentucky, to corn, wheat, hemp and tobacco; In Ohio, to corn and wbeat; and in each State and county to its chief staples only. So far the plan is simple enough, and may be carried out easily for this country, by itself." But to obtain full and accurate informa? tion of the yield of the crops elsewhere, so as to get at their probable market value, it is necessary, as he says, to secure "the .friendly co-operation of all States and 1 "nations that are concerned in the produc? tion of any of the chief staples of agri "calture, and so make the system uni "versal." Such is the international plan of crop and meteorological reports as advocated by Commodore Manry, and if it can he carried ont there can be no possible donbt of the benefit it would confer upon all those who are engaged in agricultural pursuits, or of the greater steadiness it would give to values generally. Germany and Kassia. The Czar having completed the reorganiza? tion ot his army on a scale of immense power and efficiency, the practical effect of the in? creased strength of the nation is seen in the intimation which comes from Moscow that tbe lately victorious Prussia will be called upon to give pledges against the too great growth ol her ambition.' The demandB of the Moscow Gazette are such as could not be made without the confidence which heavy artillery supplies, and are of more important account than any to which Bismarck has of late been obliged to listen. The neutralization ol Denmark is of | Itself a concession which Prussia would be slow to make, and when to this ls added the request that Northern Schleswig be restored to that plundered nation, every hair in Empe? ror William's grey moustache must bristle with indignation. The fact that such measures are urged by the Moscow Gazette is of itself evi? dence that thc government looks that wa}. The Russian press ls even less independent than that ol Prussia, and the gag ot the Min? ister cf the Interior would be speedily applied to any journal offering so Important a sugges? tion unless lt was in accordance with the Imperial policy. The millions of troops BOW ready to support the demands of the Czar add a meaning to this menace, which Prince Bis? mark can easily read between the lines. ?josUtter'e Sitters.
