SIMMONS, Jr., is the travelling agent for TUE NKWS, for South Carolina. __ SEWS OF TBE DAT. . -General D. H. HUI, of North Carolina, In his paper, the Southern Home, pronounces for the Liberal movement. -A Greeley and Brown ratification meeling and grand salute took place in New Orleans on Saturday night. -Hon. Samuel Griffith, Democratic member of Congsess from the Twentieth Pennsylvania District, publishes a letter in ihe Tltusvilie Courier, in which he pronounces for Greeley. -Senator Snhurz will address the Senate lilla | week In arraignment of the administration on the French arms report, and In support of the Cincinnati platlorm and its candidates. -The Nashville Union and American, a Dem? ocratic organ, regards Voorhees'a speech as containing all that can be said against Gree? ley, and Bays his friends roust work in har? mony to secure his nomination at Baltimore. -General Augustus R. Wright, o? Rome, Ga, writing to endorse Greeley and Brown, begins his letter with the remark: "Light for the ruined and fire-charred South beamed out from (he Cincinnati Convention." -Henry S. Foote, of Tennessee, announces himself as a candidate for Congress, and says: "I shall support Greeley and Brown, and stand firmly and inflexibly by the principles embodied in the Cincinnati platform, and on Greeley's noble letter ot acceptance." -The speech of Congressman Voorhees against Greeley was widely circulated by the supporters of General Graut. The contest by the two wings of the Republican party for Democratic votes ls lively aud Interesting. So the Democrats are not Ihe monsters that the Republican fancy painted them, after all. -General Roger A. Pryor, a Confederate I general during our late war, and a resident of New York since, asserts that August Belmont's [ opposition to the ratification of the <_ nc in natl nominations grows out of the fact that Mr. Belmont belongs to the "Syndicate," has large J dealings- with the treasury department, is on the best (financial) terms with the administra- j Hon, and secretly wants such action at Balti? more as will secure Grant's re-election. -From a careful observation of ihe sun we learn that it presents a phase ol unusual in? terest In the flue cluster of spots which is now observable on its surface. On the 17th instant this cluster was seen on the eastern limb aud contained thirty-six well defined spots. On the day following the number had Increased to fifty, all, with one exception, being small. It | ls noticeable that very few spots are visible outside the limits of this group. -The New York Express states that some excitement was occasioned in the cotton mar? ket Saturday by a report of the embarrass- J ment of several firms and the failure ol acorn mi83 on house. The latter firm state that their suspension ls only temporary, and that they will ultimately be abie to meet their obligations in full. The cause of the embarrassment of this . and other firms Is said to be due io the Budden ) rise In the price of colton, caused by the j operations of a ring of speculators. -A Washington telegram says: "The Gree? ley headquarters here are lu receipt of ad? vices of the most encouraging character from all parts of thc country. Colonel Allen, chair? man of the Indiana Liberal committee, writes that if Greeley is nominated at Ballimore Indiana will give bim twenty thousand major? ity. He bases this estimate OD what he hears from different portions of the State. Gov? ernor Alcorn and one of the Mississippi mem? bers of the House are out tor Greeley. -Libbie Garrabrant, the youngwoman, sen? tenced to be hanged for poisoning an old man, named Burroughs, at Paterson, N. J., lt is said ls not In a condition to be hanged under the construction of law which forbids the taking of the life of two persons for the crime of one. This circumstance, with the consideration that 1 ahe ls a person of weak intellect, has procured over 1200 signatures to a petition which sets forth that her death, instead of vindicating justice, "would shock the moral Bense ol the Whole community." An inquisition will pro? bably be ordered. -The tide of Immigration ls setting towards the United states from Germany, Ireland and [ elsewhere, as never before. Most ot the new? comers bring health, wealth and labor, and it the money le little, (Itaverages $150 each,) the labor value is immense, and has been estimat? ed, for each immigrant, at least $1500 for the males and $760 for the females, or an average of $1125 for each. About five per cent, ot those who come are violons, leaving ninety-five per cent of a better class. Deducting fifteen per cent, for yoong people, and then valuing the i labor of those left at its intrinsic value for each year, every 10,000 immigrants are worth to the country at leat $10,000,000 In the work they perform. -The well-informed New York correspon? dent of the Augusta Constitutionalist Bays: "The points with reference to cotton, as presented in my letter of the latter part of April, which were vigorously pooh-poohed at the time-often by parties who had not pur? chased ali they wished to-begin to produce an active effect. Prices have advanced three fourths of a cent in the past two days, and there has been a sharp competition between home and foreign buyers, which it Is evident must continue for t ,e next two months at j least; and. as I wrote four weeks since, there ls no reason to doubt that middling uplands will touch twenty-eight or thirty cents In this market before the 1st of-August. There is not in the United States a bale more than do? mestic spinners need, and the competition from shippers bas set with a vigor that could hardly have been anticipated;" -A London telegram, in giving the particu? lars ol the activity 0f ihe American fleet in suppressing the recent fire among the ship? ping in the harbor of Marseilles, Prance, says "The achievement of the United States squad? ron was one of the most splendid victories of | peace, lt having saved from destruction, by the discipline, skill and intrepidity of the offi? cers and men, a thousand merchant ships and the City of Marseilles. On the night of the fire the squadron, consisting of the Wabash, Congress, Brooklyn, Plymouth, Shenandoah, Junlata and Wachuaett, under the command ! of Admiral Alden, lay in Napoleon basin, amidst innumerable merchantmen of every description and from every nation. Bhorlly after midnight an explosion startled the city, followed by fire and dense clouds ol heavy smoke which Issued from an Italian ship, Just arrived from Philadelphia, with a cargo ol pe? troleum. The nature of the danger soon be? came evident, and it seemed Impossible to prevent the fire from spreading troin ship to ship, as they lay in such a mass, and a general conflagration seemed Imminent, for the houses extend down to the wharf on every side. "No city of Franco has the means to extinguish a great fire, and heoce the people gathered and contemplated the scene in panic-stricken, fascinated horror. Presently a well manned boat came from that part of the basin illuminated by the blaze and pulled directly towards the burning ship. This was soon followed by another, then a third, ten, twenty-all boats of the American squad? ron. A moment; later the men were seen on the deck of the burning ship. The silence of the people on shore was such that they could hear, through the smothered roar and crackle of the Are, the word of command and blows of axes. Presently the vessel began to set? tle; she had been scuttled, and her cargo was now under water, the deck being level with the surface. The danger from the escape of burning petroleum was still imminent, when line of boats, lashed together stem and stern, was seen pulling away, and as the file straightened out the burning ship moved also, and was slowly towed out to the bay by over two hundred well manned oars. It was only then that an immense cheer broke from the thousands of people, who felt Inexpressible gratitude to.the Americans tor the salvation or tlielr city." Our Opportunity. In the Baltimore Convention the Soutli will once more assume the' rightful power and influence which, until twelve years ago, she always wielded in shaping the political destinies of he nation. It will be ber own fanlt if that power does not substantially control the action of the Convention. At | this time, the sense of common wrong and protracted persecution should suffice to give to her vote the same formidable element of unbroken solidity which, in times past, Hie defence of her " peculiar institution "ren? dered so indispensable. Thc whole number of votes to be given in the Convention will be ?14. Of these, the Southern States will cast 2C8. But il is reasonably certain that the Northern vole will bo more or less evenly divided between those who insist upon new nominations aud those who favor lite en? dorsement of Greeley und Brown, or, what amounts practically to the same thing, no nominations at all. If, tbeu, the Southern delegations should determine to stand to? gether unanimously, or nearly unanimously, in support of the Cincinnati candidates, it will at once be seen Hint the chances are strongly in favor of such action as will se? cure the success of the Liberal ticket But will tue Southern vote be cust with that unanimity which the crisis demands ? Judging from the tone and temper of our contemporaries of the Southern press, we are confident that, with the exception, perhap?, of Georgia, every State from Dela? ware to Texas wili resolutely lock shields at Ballimore lo repel the fresh disaster which Mr. Dan Voorhees and those who think with bim are seeking to bring upon the South and the whole country. And even in Georgia, it is by no means certain that the prepon? derant? of Democratic sentiment is not likewise in favor of supporting Greeley and Brown. In any event, it is not likely that the great and generous Empire Slate of the South, secure herself ic her regenerated gov? ernment and tn her assured white majority, will oppose the only course which holds out the hope of redemption to her less fortunate Southern sisters. Kershaw County Moving. A numerously signed call has been issued io Kershaw for a meeting of the citizens of I that county in Camden on Saturday, June 1st to choose Delegates lo the Democratic State Convention, which is to meet in Co? lumbia June Otb. Thc Summer Exodnn. As the spring season advances the minds of people begin to turn to country air and sea side breezes. It indicates a great deal of general comfort among the American people that so many of them can find means for travel abroad and at home. A para? graph from a German piper states that Ger? many is visited annually by twenty thousand Americans, who spend there no less than twenty million dollars. While this state? ment may be exaggerated, it is no doubt true that the summer travel of Americans in Europe is very great and that it is still greater to the various resorts of health and recreation on our own continent. While the old fashionable points of summer resort are likely to be more largely visited than ever, and ought to be able, from the regular increase or visitors every year, to improve their accommodations for guests, new ones are all the time being discovered and spring? ing np, which have only to be made known lo the public to secare a share of the migra? tory tide which, from fashion or for health, spreads every summer over the country. Some of the pleasantest and most conveni? ent of these are now. from day to day pre? senting their claims to public favor through tho advertising columns of THE NEWS, SO that our readers who seek a healthful change of air will have no difficulty in choos? ing an attractive and inexpensive summer retreat Falling Into Line. Another letter is published from General J. B. Kershaw, in which he says: "My poli " cy of not calling a convention of the Demo " crats is overruled, and nothing remains " but to unite in it and make it as hurmoni "ous and effective as possible. We will send "delegates from this county. I mow possi? bly go myself Let us try to cooli oe it "strictly toils legitimate function of send "ing delegates to Baltimore to prevent a " Democratic nomination. This may still "leave us in a position to devote ourselves " to State reform. Though my mind is un " changed as to the expediency or necessity "of the convention, I am most anxious, "now that it is called, to make it avail for "good."_ THE colored people of the low country have another "organ." The Beaufort County Times of Saturday last comes out under the editorial management and proprietorship of W. J, Whipper. Coltan "Futures." A New York coll?n dealer, in a letler noticing the eflect of the establishment the Cotton Exchange of tbat city in devel? oping the business in cotton for future de? livery, which has now attained such vast pro? portions, takes occasion td give to the plant? ers of tho South a bit of wholesome and timely advice. He says: ..Whether this new departure Ts to ultimate? ly benefit the planter, the faclor, the dealer, or the spinner, is still a riddle; and ii either is to be more directly the gainer than the other by as complete a metamorphosis as this new system of lutnre contracts has created, no one class thus far is given the credit prominent favoritism. It is generally admit? ted, by ali in interest thal the marketing colton for delivery lar into the future by the planter ls, and is to be the fact. The securing of such contracts by the spinner must grow .and become, In course of lime, an equal part j ol the same fact, and the object of this note [ to your good Journal ls to hint lo the planters throughout the South the utility of preparing the crops this seuson und those of the future to meei the rigid requirements of Hie New York Cotton Exchange. New and Improved machinery for ginning cannot fall to pay large dividends, as low grades containing saud, leal or seed cannot be delivered, and always dud a hard and unsatisfactory market. False packing, light bales, and those containing gin-tag or water damage, always interfere with the deliveries, and always cost the owner many times more than any labor or care need \ ed in first rendering the bales merchantable. A bale of cotton weighing about four hundred pound?, and in good order, ol any grade, from good ordinary to good middling, including J half grades, returns to the owner Hs full grade value according to contract price. Lower grades, or singular cottons, do not, and the sooner the planter finds lt out and acts upon lt thc better lor him and lor his agent In this market, os well as ali concerned." fljostcttcr's ?ittevs. pB* A WHOLESOME STIMULANT, THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PURE.-Physicians throughout the world agree as to the necessity for diffusive stimulants In medical practice, but com? plain, and with good renson, of tlin impossibility or obtaining them pure, fhe dllBeolty here pre? sented would be a serious one Indeed, If thc class ofagent9Wjs limited to the adulterated liquors and wines of trade. It vanishes, however, when the absolute purdy and extraordinary ret-toratlvc properties of HO?TETTEK'S BITTEILS arc taken into consideration.
