C., July 13,1868. To His Excellency Robert K. Scott, Governor of South Carolina. SIR: I desire respectfully to ask your attention to tho subject of man? ufacturing in South Carolina, and to state how this desirable object may be promoted by appropriate legisla? tion. I assert, without the fear of suc? cessful contradiction, that history does not afford an example of a peo }>le confining their industry exclusivo y to agriculture aud thereby be? coming truly wealthy and great. It will hardly be denied, that South Carolina, in the past, did not encou? rage manufacturing within her borders; the opinion prevailed that to do so would bo to create au ele? ment in the State inimical to tho then existing order of things; but with the great changes which have taken place, both in tho condition and views of the people of this State, and tho attention which has been drawn to South Carolina as a fit point for manufacturing from quar? ters where both tho full knowledge of the subject and th? means to carry it on abounds, it is to be expected that wo may, ere long, have a diver? sity of industry which will greatly promote the prosperity of the State, and it is to be hoped that both tho authorities and tho peoplo of South Carolina will do all that they can to foster such enterprises, and encou? rage a foll development of alt her material resources. For tho manufacturo of all tho textile fabrics, we have in South Carolina advantages over tho manu? facturing States of tho North, which are as great as they aro little known, and yet they are known and fully ap? preciated by a few persons fully com? petent to decido this important matter. A few of these advantages aro as follows : 1. Our numerous and accessablo water powers, our extensive forests of timber, either of which will furnish abundant and cheap motivo power, which may bo depended upon tho entire year round. 2. Abundant and cheap labor of thc kind needed by tho manufacturer, and freely admitted by most compe? tent judges to bo not only much cheap? er, but much bettor, moro intelligent, teachable, and easier governed, than the help used in Northern mills. 3. A genial climate, better suited to the requirements of tho manu? facturer. 4. Cheaper raw material. ** 5. Not having to pay freights aud expenses on tho waste, but only on the finished goods. There are many other collateral advantages that the manufacturer in South Carolina has over his more Northern competitor, but I forbear to urge this point of tho subject. I have lately had it freely admitted to me by gentlemen extensively engaged in manufacturing in New England, and who have lately closoly oxamined the workings of tho principal manu? factures in South Carolina and Georgia, that the Sonthern help is both much cheaper and much better than theirs; that they perform moro labor, and turn out more work per woek for less wngos, than their help does. I know several capitalists and manufactnrers in tho North who are disposed to engage in manufacturing enterprises * in South Carolina, as soou as they become satisfied that their investment?* hero will be pru? dent and safe; but to induce know? ledge and capital to come amongst us freely, it is necessary for us to give them all thc legislative advantages which they have now at homo. It is, therofore, desirable that we should have in South Carolina a liberal genoral charter law, by whioh, with? out waiting for tho assembling of the Legislature, persons wishing to do so may procuro a liberal charter and proceed with thoir enterprise. In order to mako available the many fine water powers wita whioh the State abounds, it is necessary to pass a general How ago law, without which few large water powers can be properly improved. General charter and general flow age laws may bo new to us, but they are common in all the manufacturing States of the Union. In the United States, nearly all large enterprises are executed by associations of capi? talists under charters of incorpora? tions; and if we expect to participate in the advantages flowing from such enterprises, wo must do as our neigh? bors do, and mako such charters liberal and easy to be obtained. . The public should be by law protected os far as possible from the abuse of suoh privileges; and perhaps the best protection yet discovered, is to re? quire tho publication at stated times of the assets and liabilities of such corporations, sworn to by the chief officers; the public can thus seo their true condition, and he governed accordingly in their dealings with them. A general charter law was passed by the Legislature of 18GG; it is to be hoped that this law may at least bo allowed to remain iu force, if not supercooled by ono more simplo and liberal. Tho right of "eminent domain" claimed by the State, enables her to compel an individual, after he has received full compensation, to part with his property where it is neces? sary for a public improvement; and this right has been loDg and often used in favor of railroad companies, and to a very great extent; and per? haps no railroad of any considerable length could be constructed without it. If this right of the State was largely used in favor of railroads, why may it not bc used to a small extent in fuvor of manufactures? All owners of water powers which aro improved ought to be compelled to construct full and ample wa3te wiora, or other discharges, for th( surplus water of tho stream used bj them, and they ought to be heh liable for any loss or damage whicl others may sustain by reason of th< itoperfections of their work?; the> ought also, in cases where a break o their dam may injure other work; below them, be obliged to give imme diato notice to tho proper persons a tho points ondougered by tho break age of their dams. There aro many other points ti which I would like to seo attentioi directed, but this letter is now longe than I expected it to be; but I trns that I will be excused, both for it length and for having addressed yoi at all, by the importance of thc suh ject. Yours, respectfully, BENJAMIN F. EVAN S. Tho Chinese treaty was before til Senate Committee on Foreign Rein tions for consideration, and it wa substantially agreed upon. Mi Sumner will preparo ono or tw< amendments, and it will be reporte to tho Seuato for action. Tho treaty in brief, may be considered tho oper ing wedge to the admission of Chin to tho family of enlightened nation: Ita principal feature is, that it reeog nizes China as a nation, to whom w aro to accord international rights au obligations, aud, in that respect, is matter of moro importance to Chic than to us, since this country is ver willing to accord such recognitioi while Franco and England have bee backward in that respect. Tho treal further recognizes the right of tl Chinese Empire to tho integrity < its own territory, by providing tin no system of internal improvemei shall bo forced upon hor without tl conseut of tho Emperor. It recoj nizes tho principles of religious toi ration, tho right of emigration at immigration and of allegiance, and reciprocal provision regardingschoc and ?ducation, lt contains no coi mereial provisions, and is look? upon as preliminary to other ?ii moro important negotiations bei after, when tho principles of tl present treaty shall havo been reco nized by tho leading powers Europe. The jail iu Irwiuton, Ga., wans on fire and burned a few nights sin< and a negro named Joshua Wilban who had been committed on t charge of murdering two brothe perished in the flames. The jail lives about a mile from the jail, a it has ever been left unguarded di ing tho night time. It was built wood, and iu a short time was tota destroyed. The charred remains the negro were found among t ruins. SPECIAL NOTICES. ?t a meeting of tho Fourth Ward Demo? cratic Ulah, hold this evening, a commu? nication from tho Central Executive Com? mittee waa received, recommending thal on tho arrival of our delegates from tho Democratic Convention, recently held in New York, a grand ratification meeting hu held to ratify the action of tho Convention; which recommendation was concurred in, and Mr. J. C. Sutphen was appointod to act with tho general Committee of Ar? rangements, of which Captain McKenzie is chairman; Messrs. Weam, Kirk and Purse a committee to prepare tranparcn cics and torch-lights for tho occasion, and Messrs. O'Neil, Oliver and Cantwell a committee to collect subscriptions to de? fray tho expenses of tho same. THOMAS J. GIBSON, Secretary. COLUMBIA, S. C., July 18,J8G8._ BNATURE IS Till. GREAT PHYSI? CIAN.-This is now admitted, by tho me? dical profession, as a fundamental princi? pio of bealing science. It is wisely provided by tho human economy that wheuovor anything is wrong in the physi? cal system, tho natural forces of tho body arc brought to boar to expel tho disease. Tho great aim, therefore, is to strengthen the natural powors. This has been kept in view by tho skillful compouudcrs of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, which operates to give fresh vitality to all tho organs of thc body. Tho effect of this medicino upon tho stomach, tho liver and the kidneys, is prompt and decisive. Thc patient, who is wiso enough to quit drug? ging and try thc Bitters, soon feels aa if | ho had taken a new lease of lifo, and as he continues the uso of tho article bo is over? joyed to find the streams of health cours? ing through bia frame. It is prepared with great caro, and its component parts are entirely vegetable. It is free from tho objections so often urged against prepara? tions of the kind. As a medical agent it has no equal, whilo its pleasing flavor and healthful effects have made it a general favorite. It is freo from all properties calculated to impair tho system, aud its operations are at onco mild, soothing and officient. All who havo used Iloattttcr's Stomach hit tera attest its virtuos and commend it to uso. Even those who aro in the enjoyment of perfect health frequently havo need to nave recourse to tonics as preventives of disease. Wo aro never too well armed against the assaults of "tho ills that fiesh is heir to." In health or sickness this tonic cannot be taken regularly without giving vitality and elasticity to tho sys? tem. . July 17 (if ?.MANHOOD."-Another New Medical Pamphlet from tho pen of Dr. Curtis.

If tho South has any hopo it is in the success of tho Democratic party in tho coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in the progress of thc battle, and cannot afford to bo without a sound and reliable newspaper.
