H3y Telesrai^li. [Special despatch to Columbia PAornix,] Mew York. Ma.rm.ot. NEW YOBS, March 28.--Cotton closed linn, at 42c. Gold 28. Nfcw Yous, March 29.-The cotton and . gold markets are Arm and unchanged. CHEAP COAL.-The consumers of coal have great cause for congratu? lation over the prospects of cheap fuel during the coming season. The dealers and monopolists, it is very evident, have had their day, and have exhausted their ingenuity and power to keep coal up to the standard of high prices, and they must now succumb to the influences of events which favor tho consumer. The wages of workmen at the mines have been reduced from four to five dollars per week, the canals are about to open with freights fixed far below those of last year, the Heading Hail road Company have revised their tariff of charges ?or transportation, and have ascertained that they can carry coal at a much less rate than they have heretofore been doing; but whether the fact that the Pennsyl? vania Legislature has just given au? thority to a new company to gridiron the coal regions with rails and for? bidding a greater charge for trans? portation than two and a half cents per mile has had anything to do with convincing the Reading corporation that they could carry coal for less than double that price, we are not advised. The effect of these circum? stances combined has been seen in #ie recent auction sales of coal at Elizabethtown, where a reduction of three dollars per ton in two months has been submitted to. - [New York Herald. A NEW RAILBOAD BRAKE.-John Mitchell says in his last Paris letter to the New York News that M. Au? guste Achard has just been awarded the Montyon prize of the year for the discovery of his electric railway brakes. This apparatus places at the immediate disposal of the engineer on the locomotive complete control of all brakes of the train at once. With? out any assistance, and by aid only of a handle or winch, and of an electric wire, he can tighten all the brakes in a second. It has been proved upon the Strasburg and Paris line, with trains going at eighty, ninety and even ninety-five kilometres an hour, this method will bring the train to a 1 stop within a distance of two or three hundred yards, whereas the old me? thod required twelve hundred yards | to stop a train going at such a speed. The electric brake is also in use in Belgium A kilometre is about 3,280 feet A distance of ninety kilometres is, therefore, about fifty-six miles. WASHINGTON COLLEGE.-We are | gratified to learn that the number of students at this venerable institution jjMlltOl ii in.. Within the last p^-^Week, several have reported, and under the wise management of that noble patriot and gentleman, General R E. Lee, we have no doubt it will take rank with the first institutions o? learning in the United States. These students are not from the Southern States alone, but many come from States North of the Potomac. [ Lexington Gazette. CHICKEN HATCHET) BY A WOMAN. The Weston Herald says that a negro woman of Weston, Lewis County, West Virginia, hatched a chicken by keeping the egg warm in her bosom, and the little chick follows after her as if it understood the cluck. The question for discussion is, which is the mother of the chicken, the hen that laid the egg, or the negress who hatched it? The New York Tribune says that the taxes in the country are heavier than are or ever were borne by any other 30,000,000 of people on earth. Adding our State and municipal to our national taxes, and they amount to not a penny less than $20 each per annum for the whole American peo? ple. The Holly Springs (Miss.) Gazette states that not more than one-third of the open land of Marshall County, in that State, will be under cultiva? tion this year; and adds that "if we succeed in raising 15,000 bales of cot? ton this season, we will do much better than we now anticipate." Dr. Marion Simms, formerly ol Montgomery, Alabama, has won such fame in France and Great Britain as an ' accomplished surgeon, that the French Emperor has conferred upon him the cross of the Legion of Honor. He spends his time between Paris and London, his family residing in the latter place. Bishop Grace, of Chicago, de? nounced the Fenians in the most bit? ter terms in his address on St. Patrick's day. He told them they were the laughing stock of the world. It has caused great dissatisfaction among the Catholics. In his speech before the Demo? cratic State Convention of Indiana, the Hon. D. W. Voorhees remarked, in regard to his expulsion from Con? gress, that it remitted him to thc society of gentlemen, and permitted i him to choose his own company. LAt the Superior Court of Orange _Nr*th Carolina, held la's! ige Gilliam, nine negroes ????eu were whipped for ^Settle appeared for the testimony was admit EXTRAORDINARY DOUBLE APPARI? TION OP LIVING PERSONS.-Some two weeks since, a young lady of this city, whoso father is engaged in mer? cantile business here, awoke from a sleep, feelings distressed and alarmed from the effects of an unpleasant dream. The gas-light was burning, j but had been turned down to tho closest point, thus making a dim light in the room, and rendering por? tions of iL almost dark. Soon after awaking, the yonug lady's attention was attracted by the well-defined figure of a lady of her acquaintance moving from the door, rome ten feet from the foot of her bed, toward it. Impulsively, she called tho figure by name, on the instant forgetting the improbability of the friend being in the house, and the fact that she was not a resident of the city, but resided in St. Louis. Soon, however, all this recurred to her, and the figure already neared tho now alarmed girl. The form and features were perfct and distinct, the expression one of cheering greeting, and as it approach? ed closer and closer to her side, it became dimmer and dimmer, and finally disappeared entirely, when it had advanced to about half the length of the bed. The nervousness induced by the incident, naturally enough, induced the young lady to arouse the family, who ascribed the matter to excited imaginings. But there is a singular sequel. She had forebod? ings, despite all that was said to calm them, and the next day wrote her friet 4 Retailing the incident. An auswtrr *w?s promptly received, an? nouncing the good health of the writer, and the fact that, on the same night and at the same hour, she had been visited in precisely the same manner by the semblance of her friend in Albany, and been alarmed thereby, lest it was the forerunner of evil. The mutual revelation was a relief to both. The circumstance, we think, has few ii* any parallels, and can partially be ascribed to fche love the two girls have for each^ther, and of active nervous temperaments. But as to an entirely satisfactory ex? planation of it, none can be given. [Albany Times. O CTR AG ES IN TENNESSEE.-The Nashville papers are full of news items pointing to great social disturb? ances and lawlessness throughout Ten? nessee. In Fayetteville, a lady was dragged from her horse and horribly treated by some unknown person. In Chattanooga, a white girl was shot while cooking supper in one of the camps. In the Jackson Whig, of the 10th instant, we also find the follow? ing: ''On hxst Saturday night, al negro staggered^ up to Mr. John Fry I and told him that he was stabbed to | the heart, and fell dead. It is not known who did the deed. We learn ed on yesterday of another murder, where a negro boy was hocked in the head by another negro, and instantly killed.''' PROSPECTS IN FAIRFIELI>. -The Winnsboro News says: In this District, preparations are making for a very huge cotton crop. So far, the main source of labor se? cured are the freedmen. One advan? tage of the present over the former system of labor is that planters can select their employees, and we have heard some cotton growers say that they had made good selections. Al? most every one has an entirely differ? ent corps of workmen from those that belonged to him before emanci? pation. In some few cases we have heard of, the original hands are re? maining with their former masters. Too GOOD TO BE LOST.-When General Butler was recalled from the Department of the Gulf, and super? seded by General Banks in the com? mand of New Orleans, the Mayor's office was tendered to him to take his conge of such persons as felt desirous of paying their respects previous to his departure. As may be supposed, there was a rough gathering of the lower orders, male, female and juve? nile, and among them several Hiber? nian ladies, with their unwashed ba? bies, who came to shake hands with the General. One Irish woman hand? ed her baby for a kiss, and taking the General by the hai:d, addressed him j as follows: I "Good-bye, General; I'll say this j for ye-that ye never stole anything j from me. Good-bye, General." "BLESS GOD, IF THLS AIN'T MASS 1 JEFF."-A colored man, a true and ' faithful servant, now in the service of Capt. Thomas Jett, an old and es? teemed citizen of this County, came 1 into our office yesterday, to get Capt. 1 Jett's papers. In looking around, he espied a picture of Colonel Jefferson . Davis hanging on our walls. He . walked up to it, and exclaimed, "Bless God, if this ain't Mass Jeff." Upoi inquiry, we learned that the man had formerly belonged to Mr. ! Laughlin, a connection of tl e Davis family, and knew Mr. Davis well. He left our office with tears in his. eyes. Will somebody show this to Mr. Greeley and Senator Sumner? ' [ Vicksburg Herald, Gth. ' I "THE NATION'S GREAT OppoRtrru ? ! NITY. ''-A negress, answering to the i name of Mrs. Frances Harper, will \ lecture on the above; subject on Mon ' I day night.

J 1 MILITARY ARRESTS.-On last Friday morning, a detachment of cavalry arrived in our village from Augusta, with them Mr. Wilson L. Coleman, of this District, who had been arrested some ten days previous, and a Mr. Powell, from near Ham? burg, also under arrest. This detach? ment went into camp at the Fair Ground, near the village, and since then, they have arrested Gen. M. W. Gary, S. B. Griffin. Esq.. Jesse Go million, Emsley Lott, Julius Day and son, James Day, Capt. James Mitch? ell and David Strother. All of the above-mentioned gentlemen, we un? derstand, with the exception of the four latter, left here for Columbia under guard, on Sunday night last. Why they were arrested, is beyond our conjecture, for they are well known citizens, and have ever been esteemed honorable gentlemen-men incapable of intentionally doing ought that would blemish the cha? racter or in the least affect the true dignity of the good citizen and per? fect gentleman. Feeling satisfied that these gentlemen will be able speedily to exculpate themselves from the charges, whatever they are, under which they were arrested, we hope very soon to welcome them all home again. A son of V. A Healong was also arrested one day last week, and sent to Columbia.-Edgefield Advertiser. PROSPERITY OF NEW ORLEANS. -The following, which we clip from the True Delta, shows that New Orleans bids fair soon to rival New York in commercial prosperity: The inevitable business prosperity which awaits New Orleans has not escaped the heaviest of the New York capitalists and merchants. As our readers have been informed, Mr. A. T. Stewart and Messrs. Mellen, Claf fiu & Co. have purchased sites on Caual street, where they intend erect? ing magnificent stores. The place contended for by both parties-the Christ Church property-was finally obtained by the latter fir for, we learn, the sum of $160,000. Mr. Stewart thereupon purchased tho en? tire block bounded by Canal, Com? mon, Rampart and Basin streets, and is to erect a large block on the spot where the rows of one-story brick houses now stand. The building will be occupied as a dry goods store, and up stairs a magnificent public hall will be arranged and elegantly fitted up. Such is the programme as stated to us. We wish the efforts of all who invest their capital in our city to be crowned with success. THE BALTIMORE FAIR.-The great fair for the benefit of the poor of the South is to be held under the auspices of a large number of the be? nevolent and noble ladies of Balti? more, and it is to be opened in the Maryland Institute, on the first Mon? day m' April. Contributions are being made on a most liberal scale, espe? cially by merchants throughout the North. Mr. A. T. Stewart alone has given thousands of dollars worth of goods. Some aid, as we learn from a recent article in the London Times, may also be expected from England. The fair will be kept up for ten days, and it is behoved that the re- j ceipts will be between $75,000 and $100,000. In aid of the fair, and during its progress, a series of dramatic enter? tainments will be given at Concordia Opera House, Baltimore, by the Bal? timore Amateur Dramatic Club, com? posed of some of the first ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore. DESTRUCTION OF NEWSPAPER OF? FICES.-Within the past few weeks, no less than ten newspaper offices in different, sections of the country have been destroyed by fire. The devour? ing element manifestly has a spite against the knights of the quill. A pretty girl says: "If our Maker thought it wrong for Adam to live single, when there was not a woman upon earth, how criminally guilty are the old bachelors, with the world full of pretty girls ?" Senator Foote, of Vermont, died in Washington, on last Wednesday morning. _ C. F. JACKSON INFORMS the lathes of Columbia and vicinity that ho ia now receiving his I stock of SPRING and SUMMER GOODS.

Died, afc her residence, in Richland Dis Itrict, on the 6th instant, in tho sixty-first year of her age, Mrs. SARAH E. MYERS, daughter of the late Coi. Austin F. Peay, of Fairfield-some years Senator from that Dist '"t. * It io rather for the purpose of paying a tribute to the memory of a departed friend, j than with the expectation of doing justice I to the subject of this obituary, that wo have taken our pen. The truly excellent lady whose death our communication an? nounces, was a person the value of whose character all who are capable of appreciat? ing worth most sensibly felt, but which it would be difficult to describe. Her modesty concealed much that would have com? manded the highest admiration had it ! been brought more prominently to view. Possessed of a discriminating mind, a re? tentive memory, a refined and cultivated taste, and blessed with a liberal education, she added industry to the advantages which nature and opportunity had given her, and laid up a store of information, which, combined with her gentleness of manner, made her a bright ornament to society and interesting on every subject on which she conversed. The face of Mrs. Myers was an index to her noble character-it expressed intellect, kindness and endurance. That she was eminently possessed of these qualities, her life fully prov ?d. She endured the severest afflictions-not the least of which were those peculiar to the times in which we live-with tho fortitude and resignation of a Christian martyr. Whatever was the anguish of her heart, she bore her griefs in such a manner as not to make others partakers of them. Nurtured in the bosom of the Episcopal Church, in 1857 she be? came a member of its communion, which she adorned through the last nine vears of her life-enjoying on her death-bed the unspeakable comforts of its holy religion. A large circle of relations and friends mourn the loss of this lovely Ir.dy; chiefly, a famUy of five sons and three daugbti rs. In answer to her earnest prayers, l.er daughters were at her bed-side in her last moments, to perform the kind offices of filial love and to receive her dying benedic tion. TESTIS.
