?COLUa?B?A, s. c. Friday. Morning, Attgait 18, 186&. Sitarte for m Coito? Supply. It is said that the Cotton Supply Asso? ciation iu England ia proparing to make great efforts to atina?MU? iii? growth und trade in cotton from India. A resoldtion was passed at a late meeting of this as? sociation, to the effect that-the speedy de? velopment of tho railway system in.JR-. dia ia necessaryyin order to facilitate the transportation of ootton in that country ?nd ibo importation of it into England. The reason giren for this was the insuf? ficiency of the supply from the United States, and it is said the stock of Ameri? can cotton is not large cnongh to keep the mills of Lancashire fully engaged. Hitherto the great efforts and vast ex? penditure of mopey by England to moot the falling off of Amoricau cotton con? voquent upon the war, and the subse? quent disorganization of labar, have not been adeqnate to tho exigency, notwith? standing the large inorease which has followed the stimulated production in India and Egypt. American ootton is still indispensable. Oar long staplo es? pecially, so far as is known, has no sub? stitute in the world. There is a combi? nation of nrtaral advantages here for its production which is not believed to ex? ist anywhere olso. The ootton manu? facturers cf England have beon changing their machinery to suit the short staple article of ludia and other countries. There will bo no necessity, however, for suoh a resort, tho Baltimore Sun remarks, if there oan be such a restoration of the Southern States to their normal political relations as will inspire confidence, in? troduce rn pit ni. enough to enable tho planters i . extend their planting opera? tions, ana re-organize labor and render it reliable. Efforts, as is well known, are making to introduce in the South a large emigre:ion of laborers from China, but whether this shall provo successful or not, there ia labor enough there now, if relieved from tho demoralizing influences of fntermeddling political adventurers, to produce as largo a crop of cotton as was raised in any year before tho war. Now AND THEN.-The New York World wonders why tho Bepublicans, who glorify over the reduction claimed to have been effeoted in the public debt in the five months of the present Admi? nistration, never have a word of praise in behalf of tho reduction of $600,000, 000 effected iu tho three years after the close, of tho war, and prior to tho inau? guration of Gen. Graut. It cannot see why Gen. Grant deserves any moro praise for $43,000,000 ia five months than Audrow Johnson for 8800,000,000 iu three years and BOVOU mouths. It takes off the Times on account of its laborious efforts to make a great financier of the President, and says: "With the closing up of somo sources of expenditure, which would havo re? duced this year's surplus, General Grant has had as little to do as with the in? creased returns from customs and inter? nal taxes. Such, for example, as the 328,649,157 last year paid out of the Treasury in additional bounties to sol? diers, of which President Johnson's Se? cretary of War recommended in his De? cember report that no more claims should bo considered after March 4; such as the Freedmen's Bureauwaste, the Alaska purchase, and the Pacific Railroad bonds, to say nothing of the discontinuance of costly military government in .seven States, or the rapidly diminishing pen? sion list. As to these things, therefore, in which the Times claims that General Grant's work and recreations prove so advantageous to the country, it turns ont that his work hos had no effect what? ever, and his recreations none, except the cost of his junketing in the Tallu poosa, whioh did not belong to him.'*' A JUST TRIBUTE FROM A FOE.-The following from the address of Governor Chamberlin, at the late re-union of the Army of the Potomac, in New York, is both true and just to those "who fought nobly and well." Alluding to the "rag? ged rebe's" who stood at Manossas, at Chancellorsville and Petersburg, the Go? vernor says: "That Army of Northern Virginia! Who can help looking back npon them now with feelings half fraternal? Bagged and reckless, yet careful to keep their bayonets bright and lines of battle well dressed; reduced to dire extremities sometimes, yet always ready for a fight; rough and rude, yet knowing well how to make a field illustrious. Who can forget them--tho brave, bronzed faces that looked at us for four years across the flaming pit-men with whom in a hundred fierce grapples wo fought with remorseless desperation and all the ter? rible energy of death, till on the ono side and the other 250,000 fell, and yet we never hated except that they struck at tho old flag." The dead body .of Mowry Iron.?, who murdered his wifo on the 21st of Juue last, at Burrillvillo, was found on Satur? day at Providence, B. I., in a swamp near the scone of the murder. Ho evi? dently killed himself soon after killing his wifo. The tunnel under ihe Straits of Dover, it is announced, has been reported against by the commission of French aud English engineers to whom tho subject was referred. A SIXTEENTH AMSKDM?NT PnoFosED THU RAPICAM -Dovai QM N?O?O ^UF FBAG*. #Just am manj nfl predicted, tho aj dicaraftdrth ?iok of' negro af ffrag^aod he ?Lout lustily for o ctiang?. ^.n^rl/clo appears in the National Republican at Washington, of which the following is a si g ai il eu ut extract: "The system of putting the ballot-box into the hands of the ignorant masses-no matter of what origin, if continued, can? not faill?~7??d lo"'v'e?y sertbusi if not disastrous results. Congress will be re? miss in its duty to tho country if early action on the subject is neglected. It is contended by many of our ablest men, and with great force of argument, that the best suffrage qualification, would be 'ability to read aud write the English language correctly.* With this as the universal qualification test iu all Federal and State elections, the ballot-box would bo protected against igoorauoo, and to a very large extent against the possibility of corruption." * * * "It is objected that wo cannot deprive any portion of our citizens of tho right of suffrage atready granted to them. There is no ground upon which to base such a conclusion; but if eveu tho argu? ment was sound it would afford no plea against the proposed change in tho laws governing tho right of suffrage Suppose Congress, during tho next session, enacted a sixteenth amendment to the Constitution, requiring tho qualification of 'ability to read and writo tho English language correctly,' as tho condition of a right of suffrage, to take effect in ono, two, or any certain number of years hence that might be agreed upon, and called upon tho different States to ratify their act, what State or class of intelli? gent citizens would object to the propo? sition? None whatever. Tho measure would bo universally popular, as afford? ing a check against that control of the ballot-box by ignorance and corruption now dreaded in thc future by our wisest statesmen." Thus the radicals turn upon their own work, and viudicato tho wisdom and statesmanship of their opponents throughout this controversy over nigger equality. What bas Sambo to say now? ClHCUMNAViaATION OF TUE GLOOE. Mr. E. H. Hall, in a lotter published in a New York contemporary, announces that provision is now made for tho cir? cumnavigation of tho globo iu three months. 22,000 miles of steam naviga? tion and railway travel-from Now York to Liverpool; from Liverpool, via Lon? don and Puris, to Marseilles; thenco to Suez, Aden, Bombay, Calcutta, Point de Gaile, Singapore, Hong Kong and Yo? kohama; across the Pacific to San Fran? cisco; then home, via Salt Lake City, Omaha and Chicago-all to be done in ninety days, if tho traveler keeps moving, or in six months if he travels "comfortably!" Tho ocean routes on th's old maps are wondrously changed. Tracing the courso of the fast steamers across tho Atlaufic: the short cut down through France to tho Mediterranean; the liuo to tho Isthmus of Suez, where tho ship canal is almost ready; and then the steamer routes through the lied, Arabian, Indian und China seas and over tho Pacific, connecting with the new railway across this continent tracing these, and then noting the an? cient track of sailing vessels around Cupo Hom and the Cape of Good Hope, no modern tourist can refrain from blessing tho discoverers and inventors who have so shortened and quickened the ways of traversing and seeiug tho globe. SOUTHERN MANUFACTURES.-Tho recent exhibition of textile fabrics in Cincinnati, it is stated, shows that thc South is largely extending its cottou manufacto? ries. According to the latest reports, Georgia has forty-seven cottou mills; South Carolina, forty; Missouri, twenty seven; Alabama, eleven; Tennessee, forty; and there are also many mills in North Carolina and South Carolina. The product generally is fine shirtings and sheetings, and the specimens exhibited at Cincinnati compared favorably with the goods from the New England manu? factories. The Tribune says that Chinese emigra? tion and the coolie trade ore entirely dis? tinct in their character, conditions, and consequonccs, the lutter being in no ma? terial respects different from the slave trade*, while tho former is surrounded by guards and checks on the part of tho colonial authorities, for which they are entitled to credit. It says tho law of 18C2 was designed to suppress the coolie trade, and not to| interfere at all with le? gitimate Chinese emigration, tho advan? tages of which have been great and manifold to this country. NEGRO OUTRAGES.-On Saturday even? ing, a band of tho North Carolina ne? groes who are at work on tho Eufaula Poad, made an attack on some negroes at Col. Mitchell's plantation. They were met with a determined resistance. The assailing party wero fired upon and two of the assailants killed outright. Several others wero wounded. A fire broke out in tho town of Yon? kers, about mid-night, Sunday, which destroyed all the property on an entire block bounded by fonr streets. Tho loss is estimated at #100,000, which is only partially covered by insurance. Tho suf? ferers aro principally dealers in lumber and coal. A couple of drummers, or, as they are politely termed, commercial travelers, wero arrested in Charleston, on Wednes? day, charged with violating tho ordi? nance to license and regulato traveling agents. As Thomas Gilmartin, of Cleveland, Ohio, was attempting to enter tho houso of his father, early yesterday morning, his father heard him, and thinking it was a burglar, fired a shot, killing his Eon in? stantly.

OUR BOOK TABLE.-"My Daughter El linor," is tho title of a book, which comes from I^essrs. Duffie it Chapman. "My Daughter Ellinor" is one of tho cleverest of American novels. It gives a correct and faithful picturo of life nt Washington, tho capital of the United States; thc political intrigues and party manoeuvres transpiring in society; the corruption extending to its social rela? tions. In tho character of Mr. Grey is presented with fidelity tho Washington politician; tho influence he exerts and tho manner of exertion, in all its crooked bearings, whilst as a foil appears the description of his daughter Ellinor, a sweet and noble woman, wielding a royal sway in tho drawing-room, and perfect in her domestic circle. This clover book is a story of the present day, told in a vigorous, nervous stylo, aud is well worthy of moro than this passing notice. Messrs. Duffie ?fe Chapman aro well sup? plied with copies of My Daughter Elli uor, which they offer for sale at a mode? rate price. BE CHEERFUL.-A cheerful face is tho radiance of the soul, and should be worn at all times, especially at home. Let your cheerfulness be felt for good wherever you arc, aud let your smiles bo scattered liko sun-beams, "ou tho unjust as well as on tho just." Such a disposi? tion, reader, will yield you a rich reward, foi its happy effects will como homo to you, and brighteu your moments of thought. Cheerfulness makes thc mind clear, gives tono to tho thoughts, odds graco and beauty to tho countenauce. Smiles arelittlothiugs; thoyoost nothing, and are fraught with blessings, both to tho giver and recoiver-pleasant little ripples to watoh on tho shores of every? day life. Children and youth especially need tho benefit of them; theso little do pondont ones, who requiro tho sun-shine of the heart to oducato them, seek a ! level for their buoyant natures in the cheerful living faces of thoso who aro rejoicing in the fullness of life. TH* Jftrir?nxt o? Boura C?WUIKA,. .We call tho special ott eut ion of our .reader/t^aadv?rt?~m?,at in -rtlfction to tbis' Uiaitersity published " in the PHCBNIX, and also to the subjoined ex? tract from tho Columbia correspondence, of tho Anderson Intelligencer: "Tho University of South Carolina lives. It may be stated as a fact beyond a doubt that it is the intention of the party in power to retain the able Faculty of this iustitution. The gentlemen com? posing the Faculty are men of great learning, aud are identified with the his? tory nud interests of our State. Few men, to great learning, have united greater earnestness in instructing the young men of our land. There names are written upou thousands of diplomas throughout the country, and few men aro moro highly appreciated while liv? ing, or would bo moro deeply deplored in death. Mnjor C. D. Melton, Profes? sor of Law, possesses legal talents of the highest order. He is prominent among thc mt st brilliant men of the profession. Tho Medical Professors are men whoso names will live iu the profession, and their fame esto perpetua. Thero is only ono vacancy to bo filled, that of the chair of Chemistry. Professor Sheppard, so long known us an able member of tho Faculty of the Charleston College, will, it is thought, fill the chair. Let the in? telligence that tho University of South Carolina, durum et vencrabile nomen, hos passed the breakers aud lives, be pro? claimed throughout our State. It is to bc hoped that ere many weeks have passed, tho silent gloom of the old cam? pus will fade before tho blaze of many mid-night lamps, and the bell which hangs so silently now in the mos3-covered belfry, aud is so familiar in its sounds to so many cars in our State, will awake hundreds of students to prayers to thank their God that they have au opportunity of obtaining au education, for without it 'the world with its thrones, empires and wrestling millions,' is mere trash, and life is a blank. If tho young men of our State will only move ou in the cause of knowledge with that 'indomita? ble will and uudauuted soul' which has characterized their ancestors in all of their deeds, the day will not be far dis? tant when the bright sun of independ? ence and prosperity will burst upon us with all of its resplendeut brilliancy, and at the name of Carolina in the fu? ture, as in tho post, the world will bow down in reverence.

McMahon-City Bonds. Meeting R. V. lt. Association. D. Ep8tin-Religious Notice. Thos. Davis-Monev Wonted. FORGIVEN WITH A VENGEANCE.-A couple ran off to get married, aud came back to tho bride's house, where she humbly sued for forgiveness of her father, kneeling at his feet, all tears. "Forgive me, forgive mo, dearest father!" sobbed the lovely supplicant. "Forgive yon!" exclaimed the old gen? tleman; "why I am only too glad to get rid of you. Your ill-temper and idle? ness hove been the plague of my life, and make your marriage no loss to me, my dear child. So take her," added the old gentleman, generously, addressing the happy man, "and may you bo happy!" -? SHINGLES NOT TAXABLE.-Commis? sioner Delano hos decided that shingles aro not taxable; that they may yet pass through other hands, as laths and boards do, before their manufacturo is com? plete. This is in accordance with the decision of ex-Commissioner Rollins. A foolish fellow advised a friend not to marry a poor girl, as he would find ma? trimony with poverty an "np-hill work."
