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. His first wi
was killed a week after marriage by a ca
riage runaway; his third wife foll into a we

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. Feb 17 iG
