The London Telegraph th in ko that if |
there bad beor* a Fron?h Bip Van Winkle,
who bad falleM asleep jnBt ten years ago,
hali tue iimo(!of our old friend of the
Catskill monnUi0B, he would have stared
?with astonish m en t at the extraordinary j
political revolution which had passed
sr tho capital of the second empire.
iii? he would find the sanie sovereign,
. same laws' ostensibly in force, tho
lo.red? trousered warriors nuder arms,
ho would bo quite bewildered by tho
Wholesale chango in the circumstances of
tho Parisian press. Ten years ago tho
journals o? France were gagged and
handcuffed; to-day they are not so much
onjoyiog liberty aa rioting in a saturnalia
of dissolute license.. Mnoh as has been
truly said of the want of dignity and)
decorum of our own party press in times
of high political excitement, it mast be
confessed, to its credit, that it bas never,
asa general thing, made such use of its
freedom oath o minor journals of France,
the tone of which is justly characterized
by the Telegraph as tending "more to?
wards libel than, towards treason, and is |
rather scurrilous Utan revolutionary.
Gross, spiteful, mendacious personal
abase of the chief of the State, his
family and bis friends, forms the daily
pabulum of la petite presse, and Bee m s
most agreeable to the readers of each
prints. The filthiness of Rabelais, with?
out his humor; the oynocism of Voltaire
without his wit; the vehemence of Rous?
seau, without his clear and logical com?
mon sense; the petty particularity of
Mercier, without his shrewdness-these
seem to be the most prominent charac?
teristics of the papers which lately
gloated over the details of tho Empe?
ror's illness? and whioh rarely omit in
their diurnal issue, some on trage, overt J
or oovert, upon the Empress or the
Prince Imperial.1' Such personalities
are a disgrace to any press or people who
tolerate them. They are attempted from
time to time in this country, but it is |
creditable to the people that they do not
generally find favor here. Although this
kind of assault was in full blast in
France np to the eve of the 2Cth of Oc?
tober, on which a revolutionary demon?
stration was anticipated, the Government
exhibited the most entire indifference to
what was said by the journalists, and
the dreaded 2Gth passed off os quietly as
a May morning. The equanimity with
which the Emperor bears these attacks
wonld seem to continue, for the cable
telegram of November 5th, mentioned
that Rochefort, editor of tho Lanterne,
the most indecently vituperative of all
journals, having been arrested on his re?
turn from Brussels to Paris, was subse?
quently released by order of thc Emperor.
Tho mention by tho Telegraph of what a
French Rip Van Winkle would think, if
he could awaken in Paris after a ten
year.,' sleep, to observe the progress of
free discussion, suggests what our Ame?
rican Rip Van Winkle might think, if he
could awukon after a ten years' sleep,
and behold the extraordinary revolution
which, in matters political, has passed
over this country. We need not, says
the Baltimore Sun, particularize tho
changes between now and then, for they
will occur to every mind. Suffico it to
say that they are not only many, but
fundatncutul, and afford moro room for
wonder, if not for hope, than any which
are occurring iu France, or than even
the Rip Van Wiukle of Washington Ir?
ving beheld when he carno down from
his twenty years' slumber in the Catskill
Mouutain8. The ancient Rip bad at least
the satisfaction of beholding political
progross; the modern one would see a
retrogrado movement to ideas and prac?
tices, like taxation without representa?
tion, whioh Great Britain wits righting to
enforce and the colonists fighting to re?
sist, whilst Rip Van Winkle was playing
nine-pins with the ghost of Hendrick
Hudson and his companions. A botter
play might be written on this basis, and
embraeing more striking points of con?
trast than that which Jefferson's acting
has made so popular. We are afraid that'
if an American Rip Van Winkle, who
had gone to sleep when the Constitution
of the United States was sacred in all
eyes, when civil and political rights of
all were secured, when fraternal concord
and universal prosperity blessed the land,
and national tax-gatherers were unknown,
could bo roused to behold the chango in
all these respects, and many more, ho
would exclaim with the shade of Samuel,
when summoned from his reposo by the
witch of Endor, "Why hast thou dis?
quieted me to call me up Y and ask to
be permitted to go to sleep again, and
not to be awakened till the sky was bright
and brightening.

Fran.-A Browns discovered, about
ll o'clock last night, in the grocery
store of Messrs. H. Klatte & Co., corner
Lodge Alloy and East Bay. There hav?
ing been some delny in the arrival of the
engines, the store was soon wrapt in
flames, and before any impression could
bo made upon the ?re the entire building
bad fallen a prey to the devouring ele?
ment. The flames soon spread to the
i wholesale grocery store adjoining, occu?
pied by Mr. J. N. M. Wohltmann, who
was niau burned out. The building next
North, owned and occupiod as a whole?
sale grocery store by Mr. Bernard
O'Neill, had been pretty well emptied of
its contents, before the fire did much
damage to it. The entire loss cannot
have been much short of $50,000 ; and
the insurance, wo believe, will fall far
below this amount. - Charleston Courin',

A NEW AND ECONOMICAL FERTILIZER.
Among the plantera of thia State, there
ii, perhaps, no better known, or more
widely nsed fertilizer than tho Soluble
Pacific Guauo. The agent of the com?
pany, Mr. J. N. Robson, who is iu tho
city, has ou exhibition at tho Stato Fair
a specimen of fertilizer which, doubtless,
will in time come into very general use.
We allude to the compound acid of phos?
phate of lime, which tho Pacific Guauo
Company havo made, and which is to be
composted with cotton seed before being
used. Upon an analysis, its ingredients
aro found to be the samo as those of the
Solublo Pacific Guano, savo the ammonia
-the place of which is supplied with
cotton seed. The advantages tlingit
offers over other fertilizers is, that while
it hus as effective qualities, it can be
purchased at $10.00 less per ton. Every
planter hus at the end of the season a
large quantity of cotton seed, which can
be made valuable to him, while ho saves
$10.00 per ton upon his guano.
SOUTH CAROLINA AT THE CAPITAL.-It
is a cheoring sight to seo Columbia at
this time. At this moment, Colombia is
filled with a crowd of visitors, who have
come to attend the Fair. Wo have the
men and tho women of South Carolina
-the sons and tho daughters of tho soil.
Wo havo the intelligent, solid and sub?
stantial men of tho farms, thu factories
and the workshops. And we ore glad to
note the indications of a bold, earnest,
hopeful, working spirit. Tho works of
peaceful industry are exercising their be?
neficent influence. Tho energies of our
people have been brought into play and
are bearing their frnit, and in spite of a
hostile Executive and a sympathetic le?
gislativo majority, that olass oalled "thc
rebel class" in South Carolina, have
taken up with faith, hope and energy,
tho industrial role, and intend to press il
steadily and persistently. As Gen. Ha
good, in his eloquent address, suggests
"While with reverent loyalty we bury th?
dead past, we now accept the inevitable
present, and stand ready to grapple witt
its difficulties."

The 1 ?Cond day of, tho Fair was a de?
cided improvomont upon tho first. Tho
day waa pleasant, additional articles
appeared,' and the crowd wno about twioo
aa large. The receipt? at the gate was
over 81,200. Tho Committees were at
work makiug their examinations, and
the Fair, os before, closed in order. Wo
aro pleased to learn from the hard-work?
ing nnd efficient Secretary tba*,-in a pe?
cuniary point of view, the Fair is a suc?
cess, as the Treasury, after paying all
expenses, will have a cash balance. The
opinion was everywhere expressed, that
the Fair had far exceeded public expec?
tation, and that next year the Fair would
be, in overy respect, fifty per cent, bet?
ter-good as this has been. To-day is
the last day, and it will perhaps be the
most attractive of the three. A trotting
race, a tournament, the awarding of the
prizes, are among the features of to-day's
exhibition. Let the attendance be large.
On yesterday Mr. Tozer had bis beauti?
ful portable engine in motion. Mr.
Palmer showed again the oobking quali?
ties of bis "Cotton Plant" cooky ig stove.
Tho plows were teated, and mady Co?
lumbians were found represented in ar?
ticles on exhibition. Among the cotton
Sresses, we noticed these represented by
lessrs. Goldsmith & Kind. Messrs.
Shields & Glaze, Mr. Simpson, bf Chea?
ter, and Mr. Davis, of Fairfield. We
were struck with the extreme simplicity,
economy and seeming durability of the
Davis Press, invented and recently pa?
tented by Mr. J. K. Davis, of Monti?
cello, S. C. Mr. Davis is a practical nnd
very successful farmer himself, and know?
ing many of the inconveniences and dis?
advantages attending the packing of
cotton on the old-fashioned and cum?
bersome wooden screw, has, in the con?
struction of his press, brought together
a combination of advantages which we
think highly commendable, and must
prove acceptable to the farming interest.
His press is designed to be worked in the
lint-room, or adjacent thereto, conse?
quently saving the labor of carrying the
lint out, and guarding against any loss
of tho same from the wind, occidental
dropping on the ground, Ac. Its pe?
culiar construction, two-thirds of the
whole structure being let down through
the liut-rooih floor, thereby bringing the
mouth of the aottau-box within three
feet of the uume, makes it certainly a
great economizer of time and labor in
getting the lint in the box, besides being
entirely within doors, can be success?
fully worked in any kind of weather.
The motive power of his press consists
in two vertical screws 2?? inches in di?
ameter, with tho addition of anti-friction
balls, and is worked with 2}.J feet levors,
formiug tho bale at the top ot the box,
and on a level with the lint-room floor.
Mr. Davis made an apology to us for
Homo imperfections in the workmanship,
.vc. of the press on exhibition, it being
the first and only ono over made on the
plan, and jocularly remarked, he neither
lind a 2.40 nor a 3 mi nu te nag, but
would tuko a ten mile race with any press
on thc hill.

A WnoNo IMPRESSION CORRECTED.
Many persons believe that there is no
value in anything that does not come
from "the North." How humiliating?
However, this impression is being gra?
dually corrected. It is now admitted
that no remedial agents has ever been
discovered, North or South, that pos?
sesses, in so eminent a degree, the power
of eradicating from the system ali foul
distemper, as DR. TUTT'S SARSAPARILLA
AND QOEEN'S DEiiiarrr. Tho secret ia, it
assists nature to do this through its own
channels. Ic is composed of vegetable
substances alone, every one of whioh
grows on Southern soil. It is the BLOOD
PURIFIER OP THE AOE. I?6 3
