The House met at 12 M. .The Committee on the Judiciary reporte favorably on a joint resolution to dissolv the Board of Special Commissioners &\ pointed for Oconee County, under an ord nance of the Constitutional Conventioi entitled "An Ordinance to divide Picket District into two Election and Judicii Districts," adopted on the 29th day of Jat nary, A. D. 1868. The joint resolution WE ordered to a second reading. The account of P. H. Wilhite, M. D., < Anderson County, for post mortem examini tion, was referred. The petitions of Davis Moore, of Spa tanbqrg, and John G. Hope, of Lexingtoi fox- the removal of political disabilitie were laid over for reference. A bili to confirm and declare valid the r cont election for Mayor and Aldermen i the city of Charleston, was taken np, at ordered to a third reading. A Colombia (S. C.) correspondent of tl New York Times writes: "From convors tiens I have bad witb. well-informed parti from the interior ot this State-tba cen ti and upper portions, where cotton is t staphs-it seems probable that the year 18 is likely to yield the heaviest crop of oott produced nineo the war. The past yei (1868,) South Carolina produced 180,(J bales of cotton. In some sections of t State, the quantity planted will be dout that planted in 1868; and in all portie marked increase is the order of the dc If the season bo favorable and labor do t fail. 1869 may yield 225,000 bales, and o estimate put M it at 250,000 bales. A p< feotly organized system of labor would rc der it practicable to produce in this St) near 500,000 bales, worth something li $60,000,000. The crop of 1860 waa, behove, over 400,0C0 bales, andtheeconoi of culturo was not by aoy means at maximum." -o The largest man on record in mod? time? was Miles Darden, a native of No; . Carolina, born 1798. Ho was seven f and six inches high. At bi" death, in 18 ho weighed a little over 1,0JO pounds. Spring Trndi - Whnt the Ssath and ?Vern Will Do In lt. The winter is passing with less tronble to business men than was expected when it began. Though trade has been dull and money scarce, the number of failures has not been larger than usual, nor the losses greater. This is a gratifying surprise to many persons, for it was feared a few months ago, that tho present winter would witness great embarrassment, and possibly a crash, in commercial circles. Our merchants and our manufaotnrers can hardly consider themselves entirely out of danger yet, for they still have several weeks of the dull season before them, but, nevertheless, we think they may reckon ou reaching the spring withont any greater difficulty than they experienced during the two months of winter now past The country is bearing up wonderfully under the enormons load of taxes it is obliged to carry-showing more vigor and vitality, we must confess, tuan many shrewd observers believed it capable of. Notwith? standing the immense drain upon the earn? ings of the people, they manage to hold their own in all sections, and gain ground steadily in some. Not only are they meet? ing the demands upon them for money to pay the bond-holders their $130,000,000 in? terest annually, and feed the enormous army of cormorants gathered around the public crib, but they are also repairing the waste of war; starting new industries; de? veloping new resources, and materially aug? menting tho aggregate wealth of tho country. This is especially the case in the South, where industry is making strides which astonish even those who wore most hopeful. From all parts of that section, even the parts in which the tools of Northern radi? calism are doing their utmost to prevent the restoration of public order, advices repre? senting steady and rapid progress in recu? peration, are constantly coming. The cotton States are better off by 300 per cent, than they were three years ago. The cotton crop alone is probably worth as much this season as the heaviest crop the South ruised in her most prosperous d&ye, and besides this, the South is now adding to her wealth by rais? ing cereals and other products for which she formerly relied upon the North and West. The yield of cotton in 1868 was not less than 2,500,000 bales, and the staple now commands at least double the price it brought when the annual yield was about 5,000,000 bales. Then tobacco and molas? ses, which are rapidly recovering lost ground on the list of Southern products, also com? mand much higher prices than those ruling before the war, and all other staples are proportionally increased in value. So the South, at least, is rapidly exteuding hoi sources of wealth, and laying tho founda? tion of solid and substantial prosperity. Nor is the West behind The large agri cultuml States are annually increasing theil wealth and influenco, not only by enlarg? ing the area of land under cultivation, bul equally by bnilding railroads and opening new routes of travel and commerce. Th? great Pacific Railroad, which will be opel through to California next summer, is al ready opening a vost territory to settlers and playing an important part in develop ing some of oar most valuable resources Now cities are springing np along the line sections hitherto inhabited only by the In dians aro being populated by families fron tho older parts of tho country; farms un being laid out and brought under cultiva tion, and all the process of civilization brought to bear to mako a region that onl] a few years ago was almost unknown, at tractive to the settler and vastly useful t( the whole country. The recuperation of industry in th South, and the extension of populated ter ritory iu tho West, have made their great est progress during tho past year. Thoi effect upon trade and commerce in th North will, we think, be manifest ns sooi as the next business season opens. Th Sonth will purchase moro largely in ou markets this year than at any timo sine the war closed, and what is moro impoi tant, sho will have ready money to pa for most of the articles she may need. La? year, and each year since tho war, her mci chants had to buy on credit, and sell o credit. This year most of them will b able to buy for cash, and probably sell fe cash. They naturally have less difficult in collecting debts than when the en>? wero short and the people sunk in poverty During the coming nine months, the Sout will probably bo the best customer in tl Northern market. She hos almost entire! reoovered from tho prostration of iudusti and of spirit which prevailed on all sidi four years ago, aud is rapidly rogainit her old position as the chief producing se tion of the country.-Metropolitan Recor -o Qeorge Wood, of Wabash, Indiana, wi was recently blown up on the Glide, hi been blown up twice before.

TUE INCI-KMICVT SK/VSOX, AND ITS EFFECTS ON THE WEAK AND FEEBLE.-Tho drafts which searching cold makes opon tho vital powers of ibo debilitated and delicate are not less severe than tho drain upon their itrength; canted by cx cosaivo heat. Tho vast disparity between tho temperature of over-heated rooms and offices, at thiB season, and tho frigidity of tho onter air, is a fruitful sourco of Bickncsa. To fortify tho body against the evil consequeuceB of tho sudden alter? nations of heat and cold referred to, the vital organization should bo strengthened and endowed with extra r?sistant power, by tho usc of a whole? some iiivigoraut: and, of all preparations for this pnrpoeo, (whether embraced in the regular phar? macopoeia, or advertised in tho publio Journals,) there is none that will compare in purity and ex? cellence with H OSTETT?R'8 HT OMACH BIT? TERS. Acting directly upon the organ which con vert a the iood into the fuel of lifo, the prepa? ration imparts to it a tone and vigor which is communicated to every fibro of the framo. The digestive function being accelerated by its tonic operation, tho liver regulated by its anti-bilious properties, and tho waste matter of the system carried off punctually by its mild aperient action, the whole organisation will necessarily be in the beat possible condition to meet the shooks of win? ter and the sudden changes of temp?rature The weak and sensitive, especially, cannot encounter these vicissitudes with safety, unices their tender systems are strengthened and braced by artificial means. Every liquor sold as a staple of trade io adulterated, and, were it otherwise, mere alcohol is simply a temporary excitant, which, when its first effects have subsided, leaves tho physical powers (and tho mind as well, ) in a worse condi? tion than before. HOSTETTER'S BITTER8, on tho other hand, contain tho essential properties of the most valuable tonic and alterativo roots, barks and herbs, and their active principal is the mellowest, least exciting, and moot innocuous of ail diffusive stimulants.
