SIMMONS, Jr., ls the travelling agent for THE NEWS, for South Carolina. NEWS OF TBE DAT. -Gold closed In New York, yesterday, at _Cotton closed firm with middling at 24 cents; sales of spot 900 bales; sales of futures 6400. -In Liverpool cotton closed firm; uplands Hallfd, Orleans lljall} ; sales 15,000 bales. _The London Timen, In speaking of the presentation of Miss Neille Grant to Queen Victoria, says the event is not so remarkable as lt would have been in the last generation, "for royal personages now go ireely on their travels." There must be great Joy at tba j White House. Master Fred has been shouted over by the lazzaronl of Italy as "the Prince." and Miss Neille has been called a royal per sonsge In the London Times. Who cares 1er ( Cincinnati now ? -Paris, according to late advices, is fast be lng restored, and all evidences of her recent troubles obliterated. The streets are-belng re? paved, tbe asphalts renewed, trees ever where been planted, the Rue Royale no longer pre? sents any of the sad traces of the Incendiary, the Place de la Concorde Is being replaced ?tone by stone, and the Arch de Triomphe will soon have no traces of the shells. The Bois has recovered its former beauty, and the Champs.Ely sees are thronged daily. -While Nilsson returns to Europe with an Immense bank account, Patti exists in a per? petual shower ol diamonds ind francs. Luc? ca is already rich, and the divinities of the hour are everywhere so prosperous, it is not without a pang of melancholy sympathy that one reids ot Marlo forced to return to the stage which he so recently bade farewell, und Taglionl compelled to give dancing lessons In London. The great tenor lost his substantial fortune by the failure of his bankers In Flor? ence. Tagllonl's all was swept away In the war; and a similar misfortune brlugs both these noted artists again before the public of a new generation. -After following with considerable admira? tion and Interest the wanderings and adven tores of that democratic despot, Don Ped o, ol Brazil, from his Incognito visitations at Euro? pean watenn.'-place? to Innocent flirtations with Yankee girls among the Pyramids ot Egypt, it ls a pleasure to koow that he has ac . compllshed a "bon voyage," and is safe upon his native heath a?aln.v His people, in expec tallon of bis return with his family, were In a fever of excitement, and the Rio Jan-, .lro batteries quite startled an inoffen? sive Antwerp packet by mistaking lt for the Emperor's barge, and firing their heaviest salute. The ml.ltary, too, were thrown into confusion by the pre? mature announcement, and the Emperor spoiled his reception at home, as he has so often done In other places, by stealing into the capital before the desired "lusa and feath? er" could be organized; consequently he got few cheers except from Anglo-Saxon throats, which are always equal to an emergency. The tired soldiers were dismissed lor their dinners, and only a levee or hand-kiss with the Im pe rial f?oafjy, al! united, was Indulged In at the palace. The Emperor assumed once more the reina of government on the 1st of April; the present cabinet ls expected to resign, and ' Wonderful transformai iona are looked for from the enlarged practical Ideas of this second Peter the Great. -Alter a painful and wearisome Interval, the Hassler expedition has been beard Irom again* this time from Patagonia, where Pro? fessor A nasals and, his Indefatigable party are busily engaged in geological research of \he mose Invaluable cn ar ne'er, A large number Ot important discoveries have been made in that terra incognita, which will be of tbe greatest Interest to the publlo at large. Space will not allow anyi hing like a complete col* talton of the wonders seen and described by the party. They have roamed over the . d?serts where even thistles will not grow. They have gathered a rich harvest of zoologi? cal specimens, found winged oysters a foot in diameter, and been pelted with hailstones as large as walnuts. The dredging operations have been rewarded, we are happy to say,with abondant success. Not only holothuries, but also aseidians and actiniae have been secured, together with some very curious molluscan eggs of the genus voluta, But lt is especially gratifying to note the discovery of a floe float ii g sp cl men o? the very rare macrocystls pyrtfera. This lovely plant waa found to be the nestling place ot Borne very charming ernetaoeaus aud lilliputian echinoderm!*. But it ls impossible to dwell at any satisfactory length on this fascinai lng object, or to more than mention the fact that the Patagonian cliffs were lound to be stratified, the lower portions consisting of a soft sandstone or clay, highly fosalllJferous, containing torriitellie, bucclnl, echlne and pecteres. "That Is suffi? cient.'' -America Is threatened with a wholesale Irruption ot Immigrants irom Russia. The Mennonite Colonies, which are situated In the .,'onthern part of that country, near Berdl Msk, numbering some lorty thousand souls at least, and estimated at more than twice that, propose moving In a body either to the United Btatea or to Canada, In order to escape Irom the obligations of military service, which is contrary to their religions belief. It ls said they have already presented petitions to the American and British Governments, asking on What conditions they will be received. As the emigration of Buch a large body o? people, all connected together by religion, friendship and blood, ls a matter of considerable Importance, a description ortne Mennonite habits and charac? ter, ai' furnished by a correspondent of tue Baw York Tribune, becomes of Immediate in " tereit. The sect was established about three hundred years ago by one Simonis, a recus? ant Catholic priest. From an humble begin? ning lt nae steadily increased in numbers and Importance until th.e present time. The creed of the Mennonites ls very simple and cl resembles that of the Quakers; and theil ject lsto restore the Apostolic Church t primitive simplicity. Like all persons communities having an unselfish motive, have been greatly prospered In external cumstances. Tbelr neatness and Indi hare transformed a desolate and unprodui region to a bloomlne garden, and many pi entions have utterly failed to subdue 1 1 spirit. Their thrift, economy and Intelllgi would seem to command them to the favorable notice ot their prospective lei countrymen._ South Carolina'and tbe Iliberal Ole nient. The Hon. A. P. Aldrich, in his fere letter to Mr. Whitehead, of St. Louis, nounces his approval of the candidates tbe platform of the Liberal Bepublicans, advises the Sooth to send no delegates to National Democratic Convention. Dis: sion and a split are apprehended, and Ju Aldrich, with the result of the Conveotio 1868 before him, thinks that the Sont! people should content themselves with i fyiDg the Cincinnati nominations and adi lng the platform in Mass Meetings, in wi case the dissatisfied Democrats of the Ni and West might not be willing to assi the responsibility of making a Demoer nomination. This paper has always nrged tba peopl this State to consider every proposition a milted to them in the light of their own terest; for the one great reason that reft in Columbia is more immediately and din ly important to South Carolina than refc in Washington. A change in tbe policy the Federal Government, especially so i ment?os a change as that which is conu plated in tbe Cincinnati platform, would of great benefit to every Southern State, asmnch as it would throw the whole wei; of the administration against robbery a violence, and upon the side of whatever bc of citizens might undertake tbe puriflcat of the local governments. The Fede officeholders would be required to cont themselves to the discbarge of tbe datiei their position. Tbere would be an end the system of thrusting into a Federal oil every blatant rowdy who professed to able to Influence voles and control electio The South would be at liberty, under I State and National Constitutions, to wc for the election of competent and uprig public servants, and for the redaction debt nod taxation. Nevertheless, if t choice were between an immediate refoi ID the State, through our own efforts, and deferred reform through the agency of tl Federal Government, we should unhei tatingly choose the former and allow Nation politics, whatever their promise, to take ca of themselves. Speaking, however, for t Slate of South Carolina, we cannot see thc at this time, a wheeling into line in suppc of Greeley and Brown will, in any way, le sen the poor chance of making a change f the better, next October, in the character the government of tbe State. The cotiser v ti ve people-call them Democrats, or not appear to be settled in the determinatic not to run a Democratic State ticket. Tbe profess their willingness to sustain wbicl ever wing of the State Republican pari may offer them candidates worthy of the support. But it is not by any means certai tbat such an opportunity will bo nflbrdf them. Scott, Moses and Mackey are har to overcome. There may be only on ticket in the field, and that of so infamous character that no decent man can vote fe it. lu this case what would tbe State bar? gained by abstaining from taking part in tb National movement for Amnesty, Honest and the restoration of tbe constitutions rights of the States? Nor is it likely tha any set of Republicans in South Carolin would be deterred from making up a Libert ticket by the simple fact that South Carolin was represented in the Baltimore Conven tion, especially as the State election take place some weeks earlier tban the electioi for President. Any Republicans wbo cr out for reform io tbe State, and at the sam? time denounce tbe Bepublicans who an working for reform in tbe United States cannot expect their-fine professions to ha vi mach weight with the white citizens, with out whose votes they could not hope to bc sucessful. We do not think that the election of dele gates to the National Democratic Conven? tion will, in any way, nearly or remotely, in? jure this State; and we come now to a con? sideration of the advice given by Judge Aldrich, in which advice we cannot concur. Tbroughout the Union it is admitted, by tbe Administration organs, as well as by tbe Liberal Republican and Conservative press; tbat Honest Horace Greeley will be the next President if he receive tbe support of the Democratic party. The Administration papers, however, iasiBt that tho Democracy dare not accept the nomination of Greeley and Brown, and must nominate a straight Democratic ticket. There is a deep signifi? cance in this view. With the Grant party tbe wish is father to the thought. They de? cide that the Democracy will make a party nomination, because they know that by that coarse alone eau Mr. Greeley be defeated. This opinion is held by tbe entire South, by the greater part of the West, and by all the Eastern Democrats, except those under the leadership of the New York World and papers of that stripe. These last take tbe same line of argument as the Administration sheets. Tney both assert that the Demo? crats might have accepted Republican Adams or Republican Davis, out cannot, and must not, take up Republican Horace Gree? ley. They are both working to secare the overthrow of the Liberal Republican move? ment, and the re-election of General Grant. The conductors of tbe World and its hang? ers-on would of coarse deny this impeach? ment; but unless they are as blind and as deaf as the idols of the Egyptians they mast know that Mr. Greeley cannot be elected if their advice be followed. It is not the first time that the World has flown the track. The frantic behavior of that journal after the nomination of Seymour and Blair, during the Franco-German war, before the Connec? ticut election, and at the time of pressing tbe claims of Charles Francia Adams as the Liberal Republican candidate, is not likely to be forgotten in a hurry. But there is un? questionably a knot of hack politicians, who insist upon a Democratic nomination ; and unless public opinion ripen with unparal? leled rapidity tbere will be a sharp contest in the Ballimore Convention between the irreconcilables and the conservatives. Un? less the Southern States are represented in that Convention, the probabilities are that the dissatisfied Democrats will carry the day. With a strong delegation of Liberal Democrats from the Sooth in that Convention, it is almost certain that a Democratic nomination will be averted and the Cincinnati candidates and platform be accepted by the Democratic party. This last course insures the success of the Liberal Republican movement-it in sures to the South four years of Fair-play and Equal Rights, it insures to the whole country a return of harmony and peace. The question is, Can the South afford to run any risk, when it is evident that in the bands of tbe Southern delegates practically lies the decision whether the Democracy shall, or shall not, nominate party candidates? The Southern States, in other words, will deter? mine, by their presence and by their votes at Baltimore, whether Grant or Greeley shall be the next President of the United Slates. To ratify the nominations at mass meetings wonld have no effect. There is only one way in which the designs of tbe Rule o- Ruin Democrats can be frustrated, and lhat is by votiDg Ibem down in the Na? tional Convention. Another consideration presents itself to the people. The Liberal Republicans have broken party ties, have brought down upon their beads ibe malignity of the Executive, and have exposed themselves to the con? tumely and abuse of the administration or? gans io order that they migbt form a new party which should give Amnesty to the South, which should' respect the writ of habeas corpus, which shou'd restrain Con? gressional violence, aDd should, ia all things, treat the Southern people as American citi? zens and the Soulhern Stales as equal mem? bers of tbe American Union. They were not bidding for Southern support. Their only motive was tteir love of country, and their respect for the constitution. But tbe words of their platform, and the names of their candidates, appeal to the South with gigantic force, and we should deserve a worse fate than has yet befallen us if we basely deserted the statesmen and patriots who have nobly raised their voice in our be? half, and are struggling^) achieve the very reforms most essential to our prosperity and content. The Southern Stales can cause victory to perch on the banners of the Lib? eral Republicans; bal todo this they mast stand by them throughout the canvass, and must^above all things, strive to overthrow the faction who, If we stay at home with folded hands, will, most likely, defeat Gree? ley and Brown on the floor of the Baltimore Convention. We owe it to the Liberal Republicans, we owe it to the Liberal Democrats, we owe to ourselves to have every Southern State represented by its delegales lu the National Democratic Convention.
