WILLIAM E, SIMMONS, Jr., ls tbe travelling agent fe THE NKWS, for South Caro lita: *NBWB OF THE DAT. -Gold in New York closed at 13*. -Cotton closed nominal; mlddllugs 24 jo. _Cotton In Liverpool closed firm; uplands Hid ; sales 12,000 bales -The Memphis Avalanche pays that Greeley and Brown will carry Tennessee by eighty thousand majority. -Colonel Dyke, of the Tallahassee Floridi? an, and a member t>t the National Democratic cc mmiitee, is greatly in iavor of Greeley. -In Mississippi the name by which the Liberal candidate* for President is commonly known is Old Honesty. It is a very correct j epithet. -A dispatch from New York to the Cincin? nati Gazette says "lt is reported that Horace Greeley has received a letter from Hon. Jef? ferson Davis congratulation; him on his nomina? tion, and (.".omlsiug to support the Cincinnati ticket.*' Fudge! - -Chattanooga stirred the ire of Olive Logan recently. She was required to pay for deliver? ing her lecture ten dollars city tax, fifteen dollars State tax, fifteen dollar? county and six dollars fees to sheriff and clerk. Total, forty-six dollars. The people growled be? cause Olive lectured the second night in a | walking snit, Instead of full dress. -Theorizers on earthquakes and volcanic disturbances will find a bit of Interesting in? formation ia the news from Iceland. Mont J Hecla ls always m a' mild stat'? ot eruption, but on the 16tb, 17th and 18th ol April there was an unusual commotion, with volcanic shooks la some parts of the island. It bap peas that the great California earthquakes commenced on the 16lh ot April, and were most severe on that day. Tbese phenomena, widely separated by distance as they are, may be connected by scientific thinkers. ? -The Great Western Telegraph Company has paid the first instalment ot $500.000 for the manufacture of a new ocean cable. The work is to be done In England and the project ls fairly started. The company has a capital equal to $6,760,000, and it proposes to lay a cable from England to New York, by way of | Bermuda, with a branch line to St. Thomas, acd a subsequent extension to Brazil. Thc estimated cost of making and laying the cable ls equivalent to the amount ol the capital, and, as a practical guarantee, the directors nave stipulated that the contractors shall take one-third ol the whole number of shares. Agreements have also been made with the Great Northern Telegraph Company to secure the irans-Ailantlc traffic of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, China and Japan; and when the Great Northern Company estabilshi** its prcjeci ed North Ai lani lc line, a Joint agree? ment will be made by which the new cable company will enjoy the Important advantage of a duplicate route between England and America. It is also proposed to establish a tariff of charges cejaid e ra ory lower than those ot the existing companies. -A writer ia the last Appletons' Journal gives a short but interesting account of thc great American Sahara, the desert region lying midway between the Mississippi Uiver and the Pacific Ocean. Over this treeless waste oo birds fly; on lt no life Is found but the gray brittle sage brush ano the narrow belt ol green that skirts the margins of the unfre qneot streams? And yet, arid, sbrubless, des? olate as this vast tract-twelve limes the area of New England-is by nature, there is but little doubt bat that, by proper irrigation and tree planting, lt can be made productive. The writer io tbe Journal advocates artesian wells like those that have been so successfully sunk by the French lo Algeria. We see, by the San Diego Union, that these wells are likely to be .ooo tested practically. A cumber ol capital- J lats seriously entertain the idea of reclaiming j at least a portion of the Colorado Desert by this meaos. The project to reader the south era and eastern borders of this desert arable ls no oew ooe. Ia 1856. and again io 1859, a proposal to toro the Colorado River upon it waa favorably reported upon ia the United States Congress. The plan now proposed by tbe gentlemen who entertain the idea of sink? ing wells, is to go before Congress and ask a grant ol land, la the eveat of their Hading water. -The United States Supreme Court bas given a decision which is Intended to define the American doctrine as to the relations of j Cnurch and State. .The case before the court I was that of a Presbyterian Church io Louis- \ ville which bad become divided through old troubles relatlog to slavery aud the civil war. After various proceedings before the estab? lished tribunals of the church -the Presby? tery, the Synod and the General Assembly- | the dispute waa taken Into the courts; first Into the State Courts of Kentucky, an tl after ward to the United States Circuit Court; the decisions la the Staid Courts belog nil la favor of ooe party, and io the United States Court of the other. Fi u al ly, the case was brought belora the Supreme Court ot the Uaited States, which decided, substautlally, that no coon has power to interfere with the action ol the General Assembly, which ls the su? premo Judicatory o? the Presbyteriaa Church. Its decisions, whether right or wroog, must be accepted as final la all church matters, and civil tribunals have oot the authority evea to Inquire whether, under the constitution of the church, the Assembly has j.irlsdictioa over cases brought before lt, or whether its action ia lo conform i ty to the rules and pre? cedents of the church. From this lt would appear that lo aoy church the declsioa ol the ecclesiastical judicatory which ls recognized .a ol the highest authority, caooot be over? ruled by aoy civil court. --Laoor strikes are the order of the day on both aides of the Atlantic. In this country New York city IB the centre of the agitation, which ls mainly to enforce the elght-hour rule, the movement io favor of which has made great progress this spring. Over two thous ! and carpenters and Joiners are now on a strike in New York. They demand three dollars and fifty cents for eight hours' work. It seems that the strlk? has been contemplated by the I Carpenters and Joiners' Union for a lona time, and the several societies have been hur-band intr their resources and preparing tor ir. The strike thus far has been peaceable but earn e*r. The bricklayers will strike next Monday, (unless allowed four dollars per day I for eight hours' work. The painters' sinke in that city this spring for eight hours and no reduction was successful, and from present indication?, wo think that the carpen? ters and bricklayers of New York will hereal ter work but eight hours a day. These three trades are at the base of the building Interest, and their regulation of the time for "striking" evinces a carefully prepared plan. They were aware that at the present season capital in this branch ls screwed up with contracts and an ai tack would leave it no resource, but sur? render. It cannot be denied that the eight hour law, although obtaining legally only on government work?, has had considerable effect in paving the way lor the present spread of the system to private enterprises. .The strikes and united trade movements this spring seem to be more formidable and unani? mous than they have been at any previous period; and if the movement spreads, as may be expected, we shall see, after a season, what will be the effect of this forced diminu? tion of the labor product of the trades, in re gard to which there is now great difference of J opinion._ The First Liberal Victory. Tho recent re-election of United States I Senator Ferry by the Connecticut Legisla? ture was a signal victory for 4he friends of | the Liberal movement The Grant managers bad resolved that Ferry, who was too inde? pendent to suit their purposes, must be kicked out, and one Hawley putin his place. But the Liberal Republicans in the Legisla? ture were disinclined to throw Ferry over? board, and, joining with the Democrats, suc? ceeded in re-electing that Senator, in this case there was no compromise of principle on either side. Senator Ferry is a Liberal Republican, and as such tbe Democrats in the Legislature supported him. He had given them no special pledges. There was no bargain in the case. They take him for what be is, preferring his election to that of | an avowed partisan of Grant's misgovern? ment. The result which hus thus been ac j complished not only returns to the Senate an able, independent and useful member, but it defeats and rebukes the Grant Administra? tion where its managers have regarded their success as certain. More than this, it points most distinctively and impressively the way by which Liberal* Republicans and Demo? crats, united, eau win the Presidential con? test and reform the Government OUR correspondent Paysan shows what can be accomplished by careful farming and the judicious use of fertilizers.' Thirty-five bushels of cora an acre from land which without fertilizers only yielded eight bushels an acre; ?and twenty-eight bales of cotton, of 400 poands each, from 28 acres of land of ? the same character ! Make note of this. THE "Columbia Union, which ought to be good authority for the most loyal and highly colored of our legislators, shows conclusive? ly that the Legislature, having regularly ad? journed without duy, has no legal and con? stitutional power to assemble before the reg? ular tim? of meeting in November next, ex? cept under a call of the Governor of the State. Amen, say we. Tfcw Books. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS OP CHARLESTON, 8. C. A Chronological and Biographical His? tory, embracing a period ol one hundred and forty years. By William L. Klug. Charleston, S. C. : Edward Perry. 1872. We have received from the author a copy of | this interesting volume, the contents ol which were fully described la these columns some time since. Mr. King, with a zeal and indus? try which do him credit, has brought to light a variety of striking facts connected with the rise and progress ot the Cnarleston press. To these are added many pieces of local informa? tion which, without Mr. King's assistance, might have passed into oblivion. A full ac? count is given of the different newspapers which had their day and died; and there are sketches ot the eminent men who, at different limes, have been connected with the local press. The newspapers cow published ia Charleston are noticed, and ia conclusion the author makes aa earnest appeal for the con tinuance of a spirit of kindness and good fellowship among the conductors o? the press. Mr. King has succeeded in giving the public a valuable little work, the baudsome typograph? ical appearance ol which is the evident result ol the directing hand of a skilful pi act leal printer. CRIF. A story of Australian Life. By B. L. Farjeoo. Author ol Joshua Marvel. Blade o'Grass, Ac. New York: Harper A Bro?. 1872. Charleston: Fogariles, King street. The successor to Dickens, as fir. Far jeon ls called, chooses his subjects in the lowest walks of Ufa, but lt ls not for the purpose of exciting laughter, at the queer? ness ot the bed-fellows with whom pov? erty makes them acquainted, nor for cari? caturing the grotesqueness of their ways. In all that he writes he suggests for the consideration of the public the terrible so? cial problems ot the century. The wretched boy who is ignorant of the moral law and steals a foal of bread to appease his raging hunger-ls he to blame, or that orderoi things which denies bim work and training ? The vagrant who finds that a petty tbelt will send him to a jail where for some weeks, at least, he has better food, clothing and sheller than he can possibly get in the streets-is he to blame if he longs for* prison and thinks liberty a curse t The wretched girl whose one false Btep brands her forever in the eye ot the sister? hood-is she alone to blame if she falls lower and lower, and rests at last on the breast of the placid river ? These and olher phases of lite are kept before the reader; they are ex? plained, not as la a homily but by example. Grit, it need hardly be said, is a sad story, and It is vividly interesting. In the plot there is nothing especially striking; but the characters are powerfully drawn, and there is in the story a true pathos, which Dickens never reached. They who read Grif and its companion works may lay the volume down with a melancholy sense of the extent ot th? cankering sore at j the root of this boasted civilization of ours; and they may determine to read ? no more books which ore not printed iu rose color and do not "end happily;" but they will have gained something io the thoughts forced upon them, and will have made the acquaintance ol one who, in the opinion of many, is the strongest and most earnest novelist ol the day.
