Co-opsrfctlvc Labor.
Wo learn {rom our exchanger that
th?ro is ia England a ootton mill
called the Sun Mill, w h ?eli has been
patin.operation by working men, on
the co-operative plan, -which has
69,000 spindles, carding machines,
?c., tended by about 800. men and
girls, using weekly about 40,000
pounds of cotton. The enterprise
iras started about eight years ago, by
workmen wh? had become convinced
ol tlie wisdom of using the advan?
tages of combined skill and expe
. rienoe to their own benefits, instead
of selling them ?at a low rate to a
capitalist.
? foreign correspondent of the
Boston Journal gives an interesting
hinfcnry of th- progress -d success
of this undertaking. The capital
was fixed at $260,000, in shares of
$25 each, and tho share-holders were
at liberty to pay in small instalments,
so that a portion of their daily earn?
ings might be set aside for that pur?
pose-thus from the outset making
the enterprise a Bort of savings bank,
which would not, however, return
any dividend until the mill was in
operation.
The building was ereoted by share?
holders, a?d one of their number was
selected as agent, to carry on the ope?
rations; but they gave him too much
to do, and this and ' other .mistakes,
resulted, in 1864, in bringing.tn a
wbalanoe sheet, -with $75,000 on tho
orrong side. Enlightened by this
severe lesson, the directors made a
division of labor in the management,
. and wi th a success, which, since then,
in a little' moro than two years, has
made good the loss, and enabled thc
company to declare two semi-annual
dividends of fourjaejgpent., while thc
shares have advanced* to a premium
of 16 per cent. -At the formation ol
the company, the largest share-hold?
ers had $2,500, while the majority
held only $25. Tho largest share
holder at the present time, is one ol
the workmen, who owns $6,000. Ya
rions co-operative societies have taker
up this stock, investing in it theil
. surplus fonds. One good feature oi
rule of the association,'is that then
must be no speculation by any^of th<
managers, and that there must b<
perfect-' system in - the division ol
labor.
From .all wo read in the Euglisl
papers, we are convinced ~ that tin;
co-operative system has produced i
great ohange for the better in th?
condition of. the working classes ii
that cojnniry. We observe that siml
lar movements have been made ii
. various places in thia country, but s<
far with little success. The labore
is worthy of his hire, and we can sei
no good reason why the profits o
that labor should not be reapod b;
those, who. do the work, instead o
giving them to men of capital, simpl;
because they have the capital. Th
elevation and welfare of the worker
in any community must prove advan
tageous to the interests of the whole
and.it is, therefore, that we sh ou li
like to see this oo-operative principl
introduced into this country, am
successfully carried out, by all th
industrial classes, in every depart
ment of mechanical skill or manufac
turing enterprise.
Troubles enough are convulsin?
the universe. During the last te
years, every nation of the globe ht
been at war', and tho sword has bee
followed by elemental violence, b
pestilence, by plague. The heaver
have- been illumined with shootin
stars; millions of dollars of propert
have been lost by tho galos; ther
has been an eruption of Vesuviui
an island, with all its inhabitant:
has beon submerged; Alaska, wi thor
thc ,'i" has been swept out by a hui
ricane; the whole universe has bee
distracted by meteoric showers; It
dian tornadoes and volcanic explc
sions. Gumming and Miller say thu
the end of the world is comihg; bc
this old world will stand a great def
of hard usage, and will wear at leaf
long enough for tho r?v?woi ~-?> it
newed prosperity of tho South. J
an earthquake were to swallow up
radical caucus, there would be n
cause for complain*.; if the Capitt
were to slip into the Potomac, th
great American Union might st!
survive, and commence at once th
building of a new hall of debat
?which should be as high as the tow?
of Babel and contain as much coi
fusion.
THE' RrvAXfl'OF SotrrHBBsK3oxto?.
Tile editor of the Wilmington Star"
has bad.sn opport?nity to examino
samples/ sent from New York, of cot?
ton grown in Pera, and the East and j
West Indies. That from the W?jj
Indies was remarkably fine, the stapU
being as long, and the texture as flo?
I aa our American Sea Island cotton.
The sample from Pera, while not so
good as the former, was superior to
any upland cotton. The body was
very superior, being very similar to
wool, both to the eye and touoh; the
staple was not so long as the Sea
leland, but combined great strength
and elasticity, and the sample gave
evidence of careful ginning. The
specimens from the East Indies were
inferior to the others, and much be?
low our good American uplands. The
color was not good; the staple noth?
ing to boast of, and there was an ab?
sence of the careful preparation ob?
servable in the Peruvian, the cotton
being fall of fragments of leaves and
the inner coating of tho pod?. Thar*
was a remarkable absence of sand or
dust in all the samples, but this was
possibly owing to the frequent hand?
ling to which they have been sub?
jected. '_^ ^ ._
THB DIGNITY OP LABOR.-The New
York Tribune has the following tart
criticism on the "spouting" of a new
member of Oongress, who got on
stilts in advooaoy of the rights of
working men :
Gen. Sam. Cary, a newly-created |
member of Congress from Cincinnati,
some days ago made a speech to
working and listening men in Pitts?
burgh, in which he threw himself at
fall length in favor of an eight-hour
law for the benefit of the bone-and
sinew. Waxing eloquent as he neared
the peroration of his remarks, he as?
sured his hearers that "God has set
the seal of dignity npen labor by his
own example. He is a farmer, and
with His own bands has planted
groves and orchards, and with His
own hands has scattered the seeds of
abundant harvests. God is a me- !
chanio, and these fearfully and won?
derfully made temples of the soul are |
evidences of His ingenuity and skill.
God is a manufacturer, and is every?
where preparing garments for His
creatures. He clothes the beasts with
skins, the flocks with fleece, and the
birds with plumage."
This does not strike us as an ab?
solutely original idea, and we only
note it to ask the honorable repre?
sentative if all this work was done
upon the strict eight hour plan. If
not, the illustration must inevitably
argue the other way. We have yet
to learn that in any of the farming or
manufacturing processes so eloquent?
ly set forth in tue above extract, the
steam-whistle sounded for labor at 8
a. m., or screamed "knock off" at
p. m., or any other hour. But, per-1
haps, Gen. Cary bas more accurate
information. Perhaps be can show
that sheep's wool and birds' feathers |
grow only eight hours per day. If so,
will be give us the exact facts, at any ]
time between eight and four by day?
light-Sundays excepted?

THE THIRD DISTRICT.-The Charles
ton News says:
Gen. Pope has, it seems, found ou
to bis own satisfaction, the true in
tent and purpose of the Congressional
scheme of reconstruction. He says,
in bis official report, that the recon
struction acts were passed for the
purpose of giving the people of the
Military Districts a ?ree and fair op
portunity of reconstructing their
State governments in the manner,
and on the conditions, therein speci?
fied. We "outer barbarians" believe
that there was nothing either "free
or fair" in the reconstruction pro
gramme; and where the only alterna
tive is between being killed and kill
ing oneself, it is surely best to avoid
the sin of self-murder. Gen. Pope
also found out that the disloyal Geor
gia press were supported by State
and municipal patronage, in which
case they wore better off than aro tho
newspapers of the Carolinas. The
removal of the Mayor of Mobile was
"necessary;" so was tho cutting off of
advertisements from innocent daily
paper3; so was tho Pope code of
general orders, for tho key-stone of
the whole fabric lay in these classical
words: Salus Pope suprema lex.
A RADICAL VIEW OP A POLITICAL
PREACHER.-We aro glad to seo that
tho House of Representatives is still
to enjoy the invaluable services of
Rev. Mr. Boynton as chaplain. It is
that gentleman's habitual practice to
thank tho Almighty pretty regularly
for whatever may have been done in
Congress, which accords with his own
views of political and party propriety,
and in this way tho members are pro?
perly posted as to his opinion of their
acts. As the chaplain hos no other
mode of making political speeches in
the House, not being a member
iiicxoof, it is exceedingly clever in
him to have discovered so excellent a
dodge. We olwrved that in Thurs?
day's opening prayer, ho offered a
resolution of thanks for the establish?
ment of universal negro suffrage.

FATAIJ ACCIDENT.-On Sunday
evening, Capt. J.' Augustus Darbee,
of this city, went out in a row boat
with two colored men, named Charles
and Mike Hampton, for the purpose
of shooting ducks. When off De
wees' Island, at about 9 o'clock, he
saw some ducks, and told Charles
Hampton to load his gun for him.
Hampton had no shot, and put two
Minnie balls in the gun, at the same
time handing Captain Durbec a per?
cussion cap. This was put on the
nipple, and, in passing the gun, the
trigger caught and the gun went off,
the balls striking Captain Durbec in
the forehead and passing ont at the
back of his head. The wounded man
died instantly, and was brought to
the city. Coroner Whiting held an
inquest on the body yesterday, and,
after a patient hearing of the evi?
dence, the jury returned a verdict of
accidental death.-Charleston News.
RUMORED DISTURBANCES AT ROCK?
VILLE AND WADMAIIAW ISLAND.-Va?
rious exciting rumors were in circula?
tion yesterday of further disturbances
at Rockville and upon Wadmnlaw
leland. Among other rumors, it was
stated that several white men, at the
last mentioned place, including Mr.
John King, formerly a merchant of
this city, had been attacked by the
negroes and beaten badly. It was
also reported that a number of the
leading negro rioters had been arrest?
ed and brought to this city.
Upon inquiry, we could learn noth?
ing definite or authentic of these
rumors, except that Company B, 6th
United States Infantry, departed,
under orders, for Wadmalaw and
Rockville, yesterday morning, and
had not returned np to a late hour
last evening.-Charleston Courier.
PARDONS BY THE GOVERNOR.-Dar?
ing Gov. Orr's recent visit to this
city, he extended the executive cle?
mency to some half dozen negroes,
convicted of petit offences and sen?
tenced to short terms of imprison?
ment. He also remitted a portion of
the fine inflicted on a white man, by
the name of Wm. Harman, and par?
doned Giles Simmons, a colored man,
who had been convicted of horse
stealing aud sentenced to two years
imprisonment. Tho ground for the
pardon of Simmons wore as follows:
The testimony as to his guilt was
conflicting, not to say doubtful, and
the jury recommended him to mercy,
because it was proved that during the
late war he had been a very faithful
family servant, and had saved from
destruction about $1,000,000 worth
of property, and returned it to the
owners.-Charleston Mercury.
CoNvionoN OF A CITIZEN BY MILI?
TARY COMMISSION.-Before a military
tribunal convened at Columbia, by
order of Gen. Canby, John McGin
nis, a citizen, was arraigned on the
charge of violating so much of Ge?
neral Order No. 10 as prohibits the
carrying of deadly weapons. It
appears, from the testimony, that he
snapped a navy revolver at one soldier
and threatened to shoot another.
He was found guilty, but to conform
tho sentence in a measure to the
spirit of the State law, it was com?
muted to stand as follows: To bo
confined at hard labor for tho period
of six months, and to pay a fino of
$501); which price, if unpaid, will bo
expiated by further imprisonment, at
tho rate of $25 per month. Fort
Macon is the placo designated for his
confinement.-Charleston Courier.
TROUBLES ON THE SEA ISLANDS.
'Wo learn that n number of planters

of some of the white candidates for

tho negroes, by threatening messages,
to abandon their work, for the pur?
pose of attending meetings at various
localities, and ? hearing the speeches
of the candidates. The balance of
tM crop, not yet secured, had suffer?
ed materially in consequence. Gen.
Canby has ordered an investigation
into the matter.-Charleston Courier.

York, recently, that a person who is
aggrieved by tatt action of a collector
ot internal revenue, may have his
gait against the collector to recover
back the money illegally collected,
although paid to the collector and by
Him paid over to the Government,
provided the party aggrieved made a
proper protest in time.
Gen. Sickles followed Mr. Sumner
at the Cooper Institute, New York,
on Tuesday night. He stated that
he bad been two years at the South,
and was convinced that the people of
the South knew their rights and their
duties to the Government, and wonld
be loyal for all time. Mr. Sickles
(Le is no longer general) must have
heard of the recent elections.

THE ADDRESS BY . GEN. PBESTON.
The unpleasant weather, last night, I
prevented many of our citizens from4]
hearing the address delivered by this
learned and much-admired orator;
the ball was, however, quito full; and
for the benefit of the forced absen?
tees, we hope the address will be re?
peated. The subject-"The Womim
of the Confederacy-their Work and
their Reward," was one which gave
the speaker ample scope for the dis?
play of his oratorio powers. A just
tribute waa p-.id lu lue ay in pathetic
nurse, the Spartan mother and the
bereaved wife. It is for the relief of
these unfortunates-who have been
deprived of their natural protectors
that the efforts of tho philanthropic
managers of the Industrial Associa?
tion aro directed; and the amount
contributed last night will materially
aid tho good work.
FATAL AFFRAY TN CHESTER.-We
learn that on Sunday last, a sol?
dier, who had been ordered to camp,
drew a pistol and fired at. tho guard
scut to arrest him; the shot, however,
did not take effect. The fire was re?
turned by tho guard-the ball passing
through tho soldier's body, killing
him instantly, and mortally wound?
ing a negro, who died Monday night.
This affair gave rise to various rumors
of serious difficulties between the
soldiers and the colored folks, but we
are credibly informed that no further
disturbance occurred.
The Tenants of Malory. A Novel.
By J. Sheridan Le Fanu, author of
"Uncle Silas," "Guy Deverell,"
etc. New York: Harper & Bro?
thers.
Mr. McCarter has placed before us
a .copy of this charming work. It is
said that no writer more fully fulfills
the odd, idiomatic expression of
"carrying tho reader along with
him." The reader is "carried along"
wherever Mr. Le Fanu pleases-hy
the strangest and most out-of-the
way routes, by the most simple and
flowery paths, by the most doleful,
difficult and mysterious tunnelings,
swiftly, certainly and willingly, to
the end. So swiftly and so eagerly,
indeed, that sometimes when he has
finished it, he indulges himself, after
a breathing halt, with a slower ex?
amination of his favorite chapters,
and begins reading tho novel a second
time, musing over it, smiling at it,
wondering ho did not foresee this
and comprehend that, conscious of
meanings missed and prophetio hints
overlooked in his great hurry, and
finding tho second perusal even moro
pleasant than the first. The price of
the work is only fifty cents.
JOB WORK.-Every description of
book and job printing-pamphlets,
bill heads, circulars, labels, posters,
programmes, business, wedding and
invitation cards, railroad receipts,
checks, drafts, Sec., promptly execut?

ton News, speaking of tho new tax
order, says:
"It is understood that this impor?
tant order will bo published in a day
or two. The subject has been fully
discussed by Gen. Canby and Gov.
Orr, and several radical changes have
been mado which, we aro satisfied,
will please tho mercantile communi?
ty beyond measure. Wo aro not at
liberty to state tho changes made,
but our readers may bo assured they
are of a character which will have a
healthy influence in restoring the
prosperity of tho State."

G. W. Williams for defendant. This
case was referred to Jury No. 1, who
were charged with the same. Tho
pleadings were read, and Mr. Wilson
explained the case as being under
the late Bankrupt Act, which makes
all bankrupts who execute an assign?
ment of all their effects, making pre?
ferences to exclude, defeat and de?
fraud creditors'; and he contended
that the defendant had violated the
Act by making such assignment. It
was urged, in reply, by G. W. Wil?
liams, that the assignment being
executed on the day the Aot was
passed, (2d March,) the Act did not
apply. Mr. Wilson contended con?
tra, that the deed was not delivered
till some days after, and was not,
therefore, a deed till delivery, and
this made tho case fall under the Act.
Other grounds were taken, and be?
fore tho case was conoluded, the
Court adjourned till this day, at ll
