To say nothing of the natural inoreaso to our white population in the United States, the statistics OD the subject, show that, from the year 1S65 to the year 1870, more than 1,000,000 of whito emi? grante will hare arrived in Ibis country -'-the aveisgcbeing SOO, 000 a years- . Ao~ cordi?g tb the ofi^u* ot 1600 the total number of slaves in all the American States and Territories waa 3,953,760. Al* lowing' ?ie loss in the negro population during the late war to be 750,000-it be? ing ?st?mdt?d frdm'500.0?? to 1,000,000 -tho present number of colored people in the UnicMdll, bo %?53,7G0, more or less, according, to whether the births or deaths have been greater since 1860. According to th eso .figures, the immi? grants alone to our shores would, in ten years more, exceed the whole number of our negro population-not taking into account the rapid natural increase to our own numbers. ,'.;?',' These figures 'show the folly of those pretended lovers of tho negro, who would array him against the whites. Ever since the colored mau has beau intro? duced into our politics, he has been cautioned against thc ultimate danger of allowing his race to be arrayed against the Southern whitey, An appreciation ol his numerical weakness-to say no? thing of other disadvantages-might well make him moderate in his preten? sions. "Dressed in a little brief au? thority," ho now indulges in dreams of office and power and dignities, and many we BM now wearing their "honors" not very modestly. The time is not far off when these things must change. It would ' be well for ' the colored man to cultivate something of moderation iu his demands, and m nob of modesty in his bearing and attitude towards those, whom the 'fortunes of the; war au J thc acci? dents of porty have Shorn of their power for the time. -Certain it is, that he must be an exceedingly foolish or credulous oolored man, who imagines that his lease of power is not to bo brief, or who fan? cies that he can, for any long period, lord it over the free-born sous of tho soil in. theso Southern States. Moro thau the colored man should reasonably claim, we cannot concede, but less thau fair dealing and justice, we shall not consent to deny him.. ' ? ? ? - lu England, a "Land Tenure Reform League" has been founded. An exchange Bays: "Tho Chairman of tho new association is Mr. John Stuart Mill, and among the members already enrolled ?re Sir John Bowring, Professor Fawceit, Thomas Hare, Sir George Grey, Frederick Har? rison, Thomas Hughes and many mem? bers of the House of Commons. The object of the Leagae is not confiscation. It aims at obtaining measures to pro? mote the free transfer of land, to pre? vent land descending of necessity to the eldest son, or other lawful malu heir, when the father dies intestate, and to secure instead ita proper divisiou among members of the family. The association also announce as one part of their pro? gramme their intentiou 'to restrict withiu the narrowest limits the power of tying np land.' Thoy wish to preservo the rights of the public over commons, to disallow neighboring landlords to purchase or annes such lands, and to give facilities to 'workmen and tillers of the soil for acquiring un interest in the laud of the country.'

DEATH OF EX-GOVBKNOK WOIITH.-It becomes our- painful duty, to-day, to chronicle tho death of that truly gnat aud good man, Jonathan Worth, ex-Go rornor of North Carolina, who quietly breathed his last, at his residence in this city, on Sunday night, at ll o'clock, after a lingering and painful illness; aged nearly sixty-seven years! It is not our purpose to attempt a lengthened eulogy on the life and charac? ter of this greatly esteemed citizen, and, for a number of years, highly honored publia servant of onr State, but leave this melancholy duty to the pen of some ?ne better qualified for the task. In all the relations of husband, father, neigh? bor and citizen, ho hod the love, esteem and confidence of all with whom he was connected. As a public officer, his honesty, probity, moderation and firm? ness, were known and read of all men. Holding the most responsible positions in the financial and executive depart? ments, of our State Government, at a timo the - most critical in our history, when obstacles and difficulties not met with in ordinary times were to be daily oncounterod and overcome, he dis? charged his duties with unwonted fidelity and almost universal satisfaction, and came ont with garments unstained, and a name on which tho breath of glander dsred not breathe.-Raleigh Sentinel. We are pleased to announce that tho Chamber of Commerce, at the meeting held last night, passed a resolution otter? ing a silver goblet to the State Agricul? tural Society, to be given as a premium for the best ten bales of upland cotton. [Charleston Neus. THE MOVE I?? UKION.-We publish elBetorhtro th?TipTrocf?dHi;:^ of ?Vfpublic meeting at Union Court House, otb a au bj cit o? vital importance io .the citi? zen*;/of this State. Thoughtful men .have long seen tho necessity of nttempi? ing to impose some restrictions upon the presout Legislature in their disposition to cngago in the reckless issue Of bonds, for tho payment of which the credit of tho State' is pledged1.' The Union ville 'Times' say Sf '*" "Wo invite the special attention.of the press of tho State of South Caroliua, to the resolutions adopted, by a poblic meet? ing of our citizens on Moqday last Perhaps they will do no good, but we think they will, if properly treated by the newspapers of the State. The Re? publican party represents a very small portion of the tax-payers, and the mem? bers of that party care very . little how much taxes are extorted from the purses of thc-so whom they have not the honor to represent." And adds: "Let Wall street and tho commercial world .understand, from the outspoken declarations of all persons, who have the States' interest at heart, that they do not feel a moral obligation to pay these bonds resting upon them, and tho bonds will bo an incubus upou the niarkot, with no buying rates, and very low Belling ones. Let them go forth dependent upon the [solvency of an nueonstmeted rail? road, and contingent upon the continu? ance in offices of nou-tnx-payers, aa a class, and not even thc ?nanoiol ability of that rising financial light, who assists Governor Scott in the manipulation of South Carolina finances in New York, will be able to put them above twenty five cents in the dollar. "Just here is the proper place for the sneer, that we are endeavoring to depre? ciate South Carolina bonds. Notso; we wish our people to publish to tho world that they are not South Carolina bonds. If Governor Scott and Republican legis? lators, unmindful of their trusts, legis? late by bribory and vote as they are paid, feeling no interest in the future pay? ments of liabilities now incurred, surely they, who do feel an interest, should properly assert and proclaim to the world in advance, that those litters of corruption nud extravagance will not be paid if we eau help it. "Rest assured that such a voice would bo respected, and its depreciating influ? ence upon thc anticipated bonds would bury them forever." I "THAT DARLING FRIDAY !"-Brilliant men aro said to bo fond of marrying un? intellectual wives. Madame do Talley ! rand was no exception to thc rule. She I was very r.rctty, but by no means eic Vcr. I ? certain Sir, Robinson, .who. hud tra? veled in tho East, being invited to dine at ibe menisKVs house, Talleyrand .said to4118 wife: H'Twill leave a bookfor yon, my dear, on my study-table; please to read it, and then you will be ablo to talk to Sir George when he comes to dine." I Talleyrand forgot to leave out the in? tended book, but his wife, anxious to I comply with his instructions, hunted about the study, and finding "The Ad ! ventures of Robinson Crusoe," at once jumped to the conclusion that thc au? thor was their expected guest, (tho i French usually drop the word "Crusoe," and speak of "Robinson.*') She read the book diligently, and astonished Sir George, on his entering the drawing room, by instantly questioning him con? cerning "that darling Friday," (Ce cher Vendredi. ) SOUTH CAROLINA SCHOOL, IN NEW YORK. Agaiu wc make mention of the famous female school in New York which is so peculiarly identified with and patronized by South Carolina. Mrs. Edward 13. White, of Charleston, is at the head of this school. As will bc seen by her card in another column, she has lately re? moved out of Forty-third into Forty second streets. Her house now fronts on Reservoir Park. Search the city throughout and you could not find a finer locution, in every respect, than Mrs. White now has. Mrs. White is most admirably fitted for her present po? sition. With tho finest mental nud moral qualifications, and varied accom? plishments of tho highest order, she pos? sesses an individuality and practicalness which will never fail to ?tana the crucial test. We know Mrs. White's soliool practically, and do not speak from hear? say. Wo cull npon South Carolina to uphold and patronize her. [Edgefleld Advertiser. TUE BYRON CASE.-Mr. Wm. Howitt writes to tho London News on the Byron scandal. He says there is little doubt that tho altered conduct of Lady Byron toward her husband was the result of her father's representations, backed np by some odious story. He traces the conduct of the wife in buying up the husband's memoir and destroying it, and asks if tho ovidence of the party destroy? ing the evidenoe of an opponent oan be accepted. The same act of depriving Byron of the opportunity for self-justifi? cation, deprived the wife of the right to advance fresh oharges. The writer feels certain that this will be the ultimate ver? dict of tho public Mr. Ay tomi has written a note defend? ing Lord Byron und discrediting the statements made by Mrs. Stowe. Wann PUT.--The New York Sun has these personals on the metropolitan pres?: Mr. Bennett is the tallest editor, Mr. Dana the fattest, Mr. Greeley the slouch? iest, Mr. Erastus Brooks the solemnest, Mr. Tilton the shanks-mareat, Mr. De Nyso tho shortest, Mr. Van Buren the reddest, Mr. Roosevelt the politest, Mr. Oakey Hall the wittiest, Mr. Winter the touchiest, Mrs. Stanton the prettiest, Miss Anthony the prettiest, Mrs. Shep? pard tho prettiest, Eleanor Kirk tho prettiest, Nellie Hutchinson tho pretti? est." y The nuroerqua Buccdsoful experimenta of ?Ilk, woolen, luco nnd linen .cotton manufacturers in several States. anti still: mor? extensively in Ea rope, have created ? demand for thia new and valuable staple far beyond tho .present produc? tion or means of supply. It is disoovor ed that the ramio grown ou tho alluvial lands of the lower Mississippi has a very long and exceedingly ?ne fibre, far supe? rior to that grown in its native country, Java, and that' thc yield per aero is greater. In any of the more Southern cotton States ramie can be harvested at least three times a year, and each har? vest or cutting will produce between nine and twelve hundred pound?, mak? ing au average annuul crop of about 3,000 pounds crude unprepared fibre, worth at present in Europe ten cents specie per pound. In preparing the fibre for manufacturing purposes it loses about one-half, increasing it in value to sixty-five cents per pound. Thus, it is apparent that ramie, requiring compara? tively littlo tilingo to produce such mag? nificent results, is tho most profitable crop that the planter can cultivate. The fibre, when prepared for the spinner, is beautifully white, soft and glossy, closely resembling floss silk in appearance; it is much stronger than tho best flax, and readily receives tho moat difficult dyes without in jury to its strength or lustre. To meet the manufacturers' increasing demands a company of enterprising and practical business men have organ? ized "The Ramie Producing and Supply Company," and proposo to operate near New Orleans on 2,000 acres of the choicest alluvial bottom land in that re? gion. With two or three skilled nursery? men to tend tho plants, and one of Messrs. J. & F. Howard's steam cultiva? tors, it is confidently expeoted tim com? pany will have 400 to 500 acres of canes of their own growth to supply orders next season. They hope to produce in the crudo state over 600,000 pounds, or about 300 tons. A conditional contract for tho land on very favorable terms was made last April; and all the plants and roots known to bo for salo iu Texas have been purchased to commenc?e opera? tions with. We have reports of English manufacturers sending an agent to raise, or buy tho ramie in California; but from all accounts our Southern valleys are the best adapted to its successful cultivation. However, there is ample room, aud the demand for years is sure to exceed the supply. Some beautiful specimens of; fibre can be seen at No. 215 Pearl street, i where the Hon. J. W. Gregory will es- ! bibit aud explain its various uses and value, and also at Adams' Express office, Broadway, upon inquiring for Mr. E. Dixon, provisional sooretary of tho com? pany.-Journal <f Commerce. His OWN ANTAGONIST.-Lord Brough-1 am, who figured in so many charaotois, had also tho credit Of an occasional leader. A newspaper tradition says that j Harnes, the editor, went one day to Brougham, then chancellor, and, waiting for him in his private room at thc court, took up tho Morning Chronicle, in which there was that morning a deuunciatiou of an article Brougham had tho day be? fore written in tho Times. Barnes sus? pected tho authorship from the style, and when tho legal dignitary left the judgment seat to speak to tho editor, the latter saluted tho chancellor with, "Well, this is almost too bad, to demolish your? self in this way!" Brougham was takeu aback. Barnes saw at once that thc random guess was a hit, pursued his advantage, followed up the attack, and Brougham admitted that ho was the writer of the reply to his own onslaught. COMMISSION ON COTTON.-The Augusta merchants have fixed tho rato of com? mission for selling at two and a half per cent. The Constitutionalist says: "This is thc same rato as was charged for seve? ral years previous to last soason, when, from tho keen rivalry existing, it was reduced one-half. Thc experience, how? ever, of the year juat past has clearly shown that, with thc high rents and in? creasing expense of living since thc war, as compared to that previously to it, ono and a quarter per cent, was no at fair remuneration for the services ren? dered, and barely paid expenses. Tho usual commission for thc salo of mer? chandise is five per cont., the rates for tho sale of cotton being only one-half that amount." The Memphis Avalanche pronounces definitely for Emerson Etheridge for ?Se? nator, and gives a*? u r -t-son why, that, if Andrew Johnson ia chosan, "straight? way Massachusetts will transfer, as she has threatened, Beast Butler from the House of Itepresewtatives to the Sonute Chamber; and the hnll concentrated by tho eloquonce of Cluj', Calhoun and Webster will become the theatre of tho most disgraceful broils. With Andrew Johnson and Beast Butler in Congress, the public mind would be at once lashed into fury. Tho pcoplo, now quiet and anxious to secure permanent tranquility, would soon find themselves in a state of fermentation." SCN-IUSE NEAB NAPLES.-I had no conception of anything so beautiful as the great sheet of blue water seen in tho freshness of a glorious sun-rise, with the white-sailed lateener skimming si? lently along, and reflected, as in a mir? ror, on the unruffled surface. Thoro was a peaceful beauty iu all around, that was a positive enchantment, and the rich ordors of the orange and the verbe? na filled the air almost to a sense of delicious stnpefaotion. Over and over did I say to myself-"Why oannot this delicious dream be prolonged for a life? time? If existence could but perpetuate such a scone as this, let mo travel along the shore of such a sea, overshadowed by the oitron and the vine-I ask for no more."-Saint Paul's Magazine. How TO COMPLICATE A LAW SUIT-Get somebody to steal the papers. nr&poleo* ^Decidedly 111-Crltkul State of ?.'.Obj; cable telegram from London, un* der date of last night, conveys tbr im? Sortant intelligence that the Emperor apOioon the Third is decidedly ill, and that bia sickness is of an alarming cha? racter'aa regards the probable resnlt Of the'attack. Private advices from the French capital represent that his Majes? ty experienced a paroxysm of disease, which was attended with very consibcra blo suffering, during ?Saturday, and that he remained, notwithstanding his na? turally buoyant'constitution and almost wonderful power of recuporoHou, ex? hausted from its effects yesterday. It was not anticipated that a fatal result would ensue, but the symptoms, as we aro told, were then decidedly calculated to excite uneasiness in tho public mind. Uneasiness and excitement were conse? quently felt, and the illness of the Em? peror is now a univer al topic, not in Franco only, but throughout Europe. The daily bulletins from his physician do not command the public confidence. Meantime we have no doubt tho discus? sions and propositions considered in the connoils of State in view of possible contingencies are of tho utmost impor? tance. Tbo action of tho Senate, how? ever, in rejecting, by a vote of 113 to 9, au amendment to the Senat us Consultum proposing liberal reforms in tho consti? tution of the Senate, bas the appearance of a reactionary movement in favor of the Emperor's personal government; and this vote is calculated to create suspicions as to the sincerity of Napoleon in bis promised liberal programme. Thc 113 Scnatorj who voted ngaiost tho amend? ment may, however, have beeu governed moro by their personal interests as Sena? tors than by the wishes of thc Emperor; but, whatever the inspiration, the vote was for Imperialism and against popular concessions. In every point of view the vote is re? markable, and particularly so in the face of the Prince Napoleon's earnest appeal in support of thc amendment. The Im? perialist journals, it appeals, express great discontent at thc Prince's speech, and say that ho went too far; but the general opinion is that thc Prince dis? played great ability aud a liberal spirit, which commands tho sympathy of the ! people. All this is very significant, and wo shall not be surprised if henceforward tho Prince Napoleon shall advance from day to day moro distinctly into relief as | the coming man for France. He is uni- j versally recognized as uot only possess? ing in his personal appearance a most wonderful likeness to Napoleon the First, but as also possessing tho Napoleonic | grasp of mind in a remarkable degree, and in full accord with the liberal and progressive ideas which murk the univer- I sid spirit of the agc. The Prince Nnpo- j Icon is a man of great iutellcct, a great j thinker, and from tho signs of thc times ho is destined to become a great actor in j the reconstruction of thc affairs of France aud of Europe, should his cousin be I called away.-Hew York Heiahl. THB SENATORIAL SEVEN.-Most of the seven Republican Senators who voted against the impeachment of Andy John? son have been singularly unfortunate. Henderson, of Missouri, and Van Winkle, of West Virginia, have been su? perseded and left out in tho cold; Fowler, of Tennessee, will probably be super? seded by Andy Johnson himself in the coming Senatorial election in that State; Fesseudeu, of Maine, is lying danger? ously ill; and Grimes, of Iowa, an inva? lid in Paris, it appears has resigned. Only Trumbull, of Illinois, and Poss, of Kansas, remain intact of all the bold and independent seven. Such is the whirligig of party politics. It whirls men in and it whirls them out, but still the world wags on.-Neve York Herald. A wedding at Fort Smith, Ark., was interrupted, the other day, when tho rector came to that portion of the ser? vice which requires a vow of obedience ou the part of the bride. At that criti? cal moment there resounded through the church a most emphatic no from the lips of the lady. The clergyman threw up his hands in dismay and then closed ; his book, and tho excitement among the j spectators was intense. But ono of tho bridemaids whispered something in the ear of tho bride; she gave the required pledge, and thereafter all wont merry as ! a marriage bell. Thc Burmese in India havo au asso? ciation for the preservation of tho lives of animals, which holds a feast every year. The 'Burmese believe it is highly meritorious to wive all kinds of life, in? asmuch as tho souls of men at their death aro liablo tu pass into tho bodies of tho inferior animals. Accordingly during the month of April they go through thc bazaars and buy up all the live fish they can find, as well as fowls, ducks, goats, cows, turtles and other animals. The fish are set free in a large lake in the neighborhood of Rangoon, and the birds and beasts are turned loeso in tho jungle. ANOTHER OFEICK FOR HIM.-The S?d? licher Correspondent learns from the Cou? rier that a new office, of inspeotor of oils, will bu created by the City Couucil, and suggests that if a Mackey cannot bo found to fill it, Major Corbin might per? haps bo prevailed upon to accept the po sition. Wo do not think that tho City District-Attorney-Senator and Codifier of Laws would decline, if so bo that tho Council will press it upon him. [Charleston Courier. General Grant, it is said, wants a Chi? nese horse. A rumor is current in Wash? ington circles that George Wilkes, editor of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times, will be appointed Minister to China.

C.) limes. 31? o o al Items. From 9, card in tho PHOENIX, it will ho seo*that Mr. It. Hampton, gf this place, now has charge of the Pavilion Hotel, in Charleston. ?, SWo learn, from a gentleman, from the upper portion of the State, that tho ap? proaching Fair of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society is exciting a good deal of interest, and that numbers of ladies and gentlemen expect to visit our city on that occasion. From the coast we regret to hear that the caterpillar nguiu threatens to destroy tho hopes of tho planters of tho long staple. Otherwise, we are informed that the crops of many planters would have been quite remunerative. A friend sug? gests that perhaps the only way to get rid of tho caterpillar on the coast is ab? solutely to stop plauting cotton for one, two or three yoars. lu that way, the food upon which this scourge feeds being withhold, it may be killed out, when the j planting of cotton may be resumed. PROMPT PAYMENT OF A LABOE CLAIM BY A FUIE INSURANCE COMPANY.-Thc Imperial Fire Iusurance Company of | London paid tbrough their agency at j Philadelphia, on the 1st inst., $250,087, j for loss sustained at the great whiskey ' fire at Patterson's warehouse," in August last-not even waiting for thc usual time, sixty days, to adjust the loss. George Huggins is the agent for this company at Columbia. This company takes only fire risks. THE SIMPSON COTTON PRESS-A SOUTH CAROLINA INVENTION.-Mr. John Simp? son, of Chester, a well-known mechanic, who has already won three gold medals in recognition of his inventive genius, has recently received a patent for a new cotton press. This press has this pecu? liarity, that it presses both up and down, and it makes tho process of packing simple and easy. It strikes us as being a good thing. One of these presses may now be seen at the foundry of Shields & Glaze. The public are invited to in? spect this new cotton press; and Mr. Simpson himself will bo on hand to show its points and explain its workings. EMPLOYMENT OFFERED IN ABBEVILLE. Wo published, a few days ago, a commu? nication from a young mau, asking for employment for himself and others, who desired woik. Wc are authorized to say j that Col. Aiken, of Abbeville, will give { employment to seven-the work being j of such a character as will ennblo them to earn good pay for their services. For further particulars, application may be mudo at this office. It will bo seen that Mr. Beckham, through P.. C. Shiver, Esq., also offers work to those out of omployrneut. Mr. R. C. Shiver, of our city, is in? terested in tho cultivation of tho ramie plant in this State already, and is also the agent for Bruckner's Nursery. Ho is prepared to exhibit specimens of fibre and receive orders. In view of the fact of its being cultivated in our State, and likely to become a valuable product, would it not bo well for our Agricultural Society to offer a premium for the best specimen of South Carolina raised ramie? We have received from Mr. Shiver a specimen of thc fibre of the ramie. It appears to us evident that this plant may be utilized greatly to our advantage. Wc publish, elsewhere, from the Journal of Commerce, some remarks ou tho lvrnie. A NEW MATERIAL ron PAPER.-We tuku from an exchange tho following re? marks with respect to tho okra plant: "There is never a lack of some new material for paper. Something turns up every week. It is wood, grass, cotton in fibre, anything but rags or old paper, from which newspaper continues to be made. Tho latest discovery is the fibre of tho okra plant, and experiments with this new material aro now making nt tho Cickassabogue Paper Mills, near Mobile, Ala. Heretofore, okra has been sup? posed to bo valuable mainly as a basis for that excellent soup known in the South os "Jumbo;" but a praotical pa? per-maker, seeing that the stalk of the plant was veiy fibrous, conceived the idea that it might be made into paper, and has actually succeeded in producing from it, first, tho right k nd of pulp, and thereaftor, good, strong, brown wrapping-paper. The experiment has been so satisfactory that it is behoved that okra can be raised to profit for pa? per manufacture. It works easily, and the pulp can bo bleached; when mixed with fifty per cent, of rags it makes a strong, tough, elastic paper, which is free from the brittleness and other obj ec tions attaching to straw and wood pa? pers. The mills whioh began experi? ments in this new material boldly adver? tise for 1,200 tons of okra, and it is hoped that the era of cheap paper, at least for the South, will arrive next sum? mer, or sooner."
