The Charleston Nines, ot tho 18th, in
considering the question, f'ifoto Shall ive
'Redeem the Stale," oontr&sts th? views of
the Edgefield Advertiser with those of
the Winniiboro Nenes-the former pro?
posing the immediate putting of the
I Democracy upon a war footing, and the
I?J^^^TOeating a "conservative^
' itkn filet 1 The Cheleston Nei? admits
the great importance of our carrying the
ejections in 1870, but dissents frpm the
policy, of the Winnsboro Netos-as being
hazardous and of very questionable pro
I prietys The News fnrtherjremarks, that
thorn appears to he some doubt among
the conservative people in this State as
to vrhat "plan of battle" will most cer?
tainly be successful io 18T0.
Tho interest taken in this aub j oct of
I redeeming the State from the rule that
now prevails* we are glad to see. That
interest can scarcely be too absorbing,
nor eau ii too soon engage the mind of
tho patriot in South Carolina. Bul in
'this opinion we are emphatic that it ; is
premature now to discuss "the plan of
battle. " The intelligent people o ? Sou th
Carolina are united in political sentiment,
nnd will adhere to those political con?
victions which they entertain, except so
far as these convictions may be modified
by events and circumstances beyond
'r control. The ?ame of politics,
o&gn "it should eter be toned with
pt?njt?n?e, is a practical one. At all
lines, it is unwise, in the matter of
?es, to dovelop a line of policy too'
far in advance of the period when tho j
battle ia to bo fought. At this timo in
South Carolina, it is especially unwise to
lay down now a course of action to be
adhered to in the future. The general
political principles that should bc upheld
in our Staten-these may be put forth in
season and out of season; but os to the
details of political management? we would
throw out to our friends this caution
that this subject be reserved for the de?
velopments of tho futuro-at least-so far
'as the details of it are concerned.
The In*comlng Cotton Crop.
There is every prospect this year of a
large cotton orop. In the year 1859-60
the year before the war-the cotton crop
of the United States amounted to 5,196,
944 bales, of 400 pounds each. Last
year, it amounted to 2,430,893. This
year, it will probably reach 2,500,000
bales. What, now, ia the prospect of
high prices being realized? We think
good. The cotton interests of Europe
and America alone require, it is esti?
mated, an annual supply of over 6,000,000
I of bales; whereas the present available
production of the world will not, this
year, amount to 5,000,000 bales. The
following estimate has been mado for
this year's cotton crop:
East India.j. 1,500,000 bales
Egypt. 230,000
Turkey. Levant, &c. 12,500
Brazil, Peru and West
India. 707,500
I United States.2, GOO, 000
I All other sources. 50,000
Making. 5,000,000 bales
Now, if the world's consumption
amount to 6,000,000 bales, we have an
apparent deficit in supply in the raw
material of 1,000,000 bales at the end of
the present year. If these figures be cor?
rect-and DeBotf's Review is our au?
thority-there is every probability of
the present high crop of ootton being
maintained. Let this exhibit stimulate
tho energies of cotton producers. Let
the farmer work on industriously until
his crop bas been gathered, and in secur?
ing his own interests, he will be advanc?
ing the interests of the public.
A Georgia paper, v, fh little taste and
less judgment, sneers ut South Carolina's
devotion to cotton-making, at the ex?
pense of political activity. Let us say
to our ootemporary that, in the present
condition of our State and her people,
we deem it a pious task to whiten some
fields with cotton and to make others
gladden the sight with corn and wheat
ind oats and rye. The intelligence,
Iworth and substance of Georgia now
control the ballot; but here, in South
karolina, those elements will reach tho
|goal that Georgia has already won, only
ry passing through work-shops, and cot
>n and corn fields. Industrial develop?
ment at once causes and sustains right?
ful political adjustment. Upon tho
foundation of our ? industries, let the
implo of our restored liberties rest
>road, solid and majestic.

PorrjiiAB STATISTICS OF ROME.-The
ecclesiastical authorities of Ko jae have
just published a census for the present
year. These statistics show that the
regular clergy is composed of 2,265 por
80U8, thus divided: Cardinals, 32;
bishops, 50; priests and clerks," 1,366;
and students at the ecclesiastical Col?
leges, 841 ; the religious . communities
count 5,215 souls, 2,959 mon and 2,256
womon; tho lay population amounts to
197,198; soldiers in garrison, 10,207;
prisoners under sentence, 328; Protest?
ants, 637; and Jews, 2,682; making a
total of 220,532, or an increase of 3,151
over the year 1868. The number of car?
dinals residing in the Eternal City hos
remained nearly tho samo during ten
years, never having been below 29, nor
above 34; at present it is 32. Thc same
remark does not apply to tho bishops,
who have never been so few. In 1864
they counted 40, at this moment they are
no more than 26. Priests and regular
clerks have also diminished during the
lost decennial period, the number never
being so low. In 1864 it was 1,504; at
present it is 1,366. On tho other hand,
the members of religious communities
have augmented: In 1860, the males
were 2,390, and tho females 2,031. The
progression has been constant, and the
figures now aro 2,959 and 2,256, This
increase is explained by the confiscation
of the Church property in Italy, and the
expulsion of the monks and nuns
from their monasteries and convents,
many of them having sought an asylum
in liofo.-London Times.
MY WIFE.-Observe with what love
and .respect the good man and worthy
husband speaks ol that dear or eat uro
whom God has given him for a compa?
nion through life. Note his actions and
observe his better half, and you will see
that lier image is reflected in him. I
care not how great a man ho may be; I
care not how austero and strong-minded
ho may be; so that ho loves her. Her
influence is felt every day, and her
loving words and feminine dependence
exerts a power within him whioh other?
wise might have slumbered unknown
and forgotten. In the language of Bul?
wer, "her image glossed in his soul,
lures him on to those inspiring toils by
whioh man masters men." Our greatest
s'atesmen, our greatest heroes, all attri?
bute their success in life to tho potent
influence of eitber a wife or a mother's
love. Man must have something to love,
something to stimulate bim and raise
him from that state of thraldom in which
tho cares and anxieties of an every-day
life usually plunge him.
What friend can take a wife's place;
who but sho can administer consolation
which is ever free from tho suspicions,
tho hope of inUrestedness, other than
that of a holy desire and deep anxiety to
make you happy ? Lot all tho world
forsake and abandon you; lot trials come
upon you and calamities befall you, yet
in her presence and loving affection you
may altvays find a harbinger of love,
truth and devotion. Mon havo a yearn?
ing for disinterested lovo. Once con?
vince a man that he is beloved for him?
self alone, independent of his wealth, his
riches and his station, or any of the many
advantagesx>f which ho may be possess?
ed-let him see, I etty, that he is loved
for himself, and you make him your
slave for life. Such a man, blessed with
a noblo woman for his wife, is capable of
performing things that would discourage
him had he not some one to offer him
thoso little words of consolation which
lighten tho burdens of life.
GOOD ADVICE.-At a recent marriage
of a daughter of Joseph Josi i ns, Esq.,
of Poultnoy, Vt., the following advice
was haded to tho bride by her father, ac?
companied by many greenbacks. We
recommend its prayerful perusal and re?
membrance by newly married couples.
They are truly "words of wisdom," and
deserving to be framed in every house?
hold in tho land.
1. Never talk at but to each other.
2. Never both maintain unger at thc
samo time.
3. Never speak loud or boisterously to
each other.
4. Never reproach each other in pre?
sence of others.
5. Never find fault or fret about what
cannot bo helped.
6. Never repeat an order or request
when understood.
7. Never make a remark at other's ex?
pense.
8. Neglect everybody rather than each
other.
9. Love the Lord and serve Him faith?
fully all the days of thy life.

TUE PIEDMONT LITE INSURANCE COM?
PANY.-Speaking of this Southern com?
pany, (of which Captain Lcapbart is the
agent in this city,) the Edgefield Adver?
tiser says :
"Wo have received, and will publish iu
our next issue, a large advertisement
concerning this reliable and trustworthy
Southern Lifo Insurance Company, It
is established on n firm basis, und is un?
der tho control of honorable and high
toned gentlemen-men who delight in
doing good, aud who enjoy tho confi?
dence and respect of all with whom they
are acquainted. To persons who aro
thinking bf insuring their lives, (and
every man ought to do so forthwith,) we
commend tho 'Piedmont Lifo Insurance
Company.' There is no botter company
North or South. In November, 1867,
this company commenced activo opera?
tions. It was organized under circum?
stances of extreme discouragement. The
State of Virginia was laboring under
sevore political disabilities, and painfully
awaiting the solution of the vexed pro?
blem of 'reconstruction.' Its people
wore struggling against tho embarrass?
ments of poverty and sustaining tho
weight of" heavy trial. Its soil had been
upheaved with ramparts "and furrowed
with ditches. Tho disastrous , effects of
protractod conflict wore everywhere evi?
dent. In contrast with afield of so little
appuient promise for thc establishment
of a local life insurance company was the
extraordinary vigor with which the flour?
ishing companies of tho States, both
East and West, whose growth in finan?
cial strength and population was com?
paratively undisturbed by the war, had
been pushed onward to the fullness of
prosperity. These, beneficent institu?
tions, unrestricted in ;their good work by
Stato lines, offered the arm of protection
to tho people of Virginia. There was a
feeling abroad at this time that Virginia
was a sort of ditico-economic Nazareth
out of whiol o good, financially speak?
ing, could come. We remember how,
when it was announced that a life com?
pany bsd been organized in Virginia, a
New York paper sneered at the effort,
and talked as if New York alone were the
centre of all that is good, or great, or
worth aspiring to. Strange to say, this
prejudice was largely shared by Virgin?
ians, and many of them, while insuring
in Northern companies, freely expressed
distrust of Southern institutions for a
similar purpose, aud deprecation of all
attempts to uprear them upon a firm and
enduring basis.
"In the face of such practical difficul?
ties and perplexities, ordinary men
would "nave shrunk from tho promotion
of so doubtful a scheme. But Major
Carrington, tho chief engineer, is no or?
dinary man, as the result has proved.
Whilo th enterprise was in its prelimi?
nary and experimental stage, tho homo
office was stationed in an interior town,
remote from tho great centres of trade,
iu order to keep expenses at tho lowest
mark. What, to-day, would bo unwise
economy, was in the then depressed con?
dition of tho State a measure of pru?
dence. In the course of a few months,
when skeptics were convinced that fail?
ure was not included in tho estimates of
its projectors, and when tho citizens of
the State began at least measurably to
recover from the business prostration
into which they had been plunged, thc
homo office was transferred to tho city
of Richmond. This was iii .September,
1868. Up to that timo the company had
issued 1,000 policies. Sinco then the
number issued is 3,350-making in all
1,350, a rate of progress which, in view
of tho obstacles to be surmounted, is
nnprccedented, and, in point of fact,
has no equal in tho early history of tho
older companies. In tho briof period of
its career tho assets have mounted up to
tho handsome sum of 8500,000. Tho
dividend, as calculated by the actuary,
Mr. D. P. Tackler, on lifo policies, on
the 1st of April, was forty por cent.
The losses paid to dato amount to some?
thing over 50,000, and these losses have
beon paid promptly in overy instance.
This substantial record speaks for itsolf;
it is tho simple logic of figures; it re?
ven?s clear-sighted management, labo?
rious industry, and most commendable
ouergy on tho part of officers and agents.
Tho child is becoming a man and taking
his iilaco among men. Tho acorn is now
a tree, whoso over-arching branches will
continuo to spread ?dike through tho
sun-shino and tho storm of coming cen?
turies. Rejoicing in its strength und re
resisting tho elements of decay, it will
confer its blossings and benefits upon
uncounted households, and supply 'the
place of fame' and oulogy* to its pro?
jectors long after tho mossy marbles that
press their remains shall have faded into
indistinguishable dust."
