"The Langley Manufacturing Com? pany, of Langley, S. C., was organized in March, 1870, taking the property of the Kalmia Mill Company, with all the improvements made by them when they failed for want of means to complete and put in operation the cotton mill which they projeoted. The Langley Manufac? turing Company have completed the dam and factory building, and put in the water wheels and other machinery, consisting of 0,600 ring spindles, sup? plying 800 looms and weaving shirtings and drills. The machinery was mostly furnished by the Lowell Machina Shop, and is now running very successfully, turning off about 14,000 yards of a very excellent artiole of sheetings and drills per day that compare iu quality with the Indian Head, Appleton and Atlantic A 41 sheetings and drills. Notwithstand? ing the many disadvantages and discou? ragements of thia pioneer manufactur? ing company in the South, having lost one dam, the repairs of which exceeded $25,000, together with the many discou? ragements of starting a ooltou mill in a locality remote from other similur enter? prises, this company have pushed for? ward their work, and are now competing with some of the best mills in the coun? try. The capital stock of tho Langley Manufacturing Company is S 100,000, of which Wm. C. Langley & Co., of New York oity, have a controlling iuterest. The locality of tho piuco is pleasant aud bealthy, within ten miles of Aiken, and directly on the South Carolina Rn il road, leading from Aiken to ( Augusta, GA., whioh latter pluce is about eight miles distant." We clip the above from the Bostou Commercial Bullet in. Our co temporary is mistaken in stating that Langley is the pioneer manufacturing company in tho South, and that it is remote from other similar enterprises. The Rich? mond Factory, Graniteville Factory, Vaucluse Mills, (which were burned a few years since,) all uoar Augusta, and the Augusta Fuctory, were built and put in operation long before tho Langley Mills. Besides these, there are many others in various parts of Georgia, which have been manufacturing cotton and woolen goods for mauy years past. [Augusta Constitutionalist. THE LATE NEQBO CONVENTION AT NEW OBTJEANS.-The Herald's New Orleans correspondent closes his acoonnt of tho late negro equality convention in that city, as follows: Upon tho whole it has not beau a poli? tical success. It effectually demonstrates the existence of growing differences in the negro ranks, which, in time, must ripen; but it proves ouo fact fully aud fm a Hy-that all idea of politics possess? ed by the negro begins, centres and ends iu tho doctrine of social equality. Such is not only tho lesson taught by the convention, but is the confession of all tho more intelligent members with whom, during tho session, I have con? versed upon this point; they are just as subject to local aud personal influences as the whites. G. FOR G!-A vehement maker of words editing a Republican paper in tho South, reciting the praises of his dog breeding master at Washington, says: "Grant won his brevets and his proud position by gallant conduct in the field." Good for Grant! Gallant conduot in the field, breathing sweet sympathy in the left ear of a feminine Digger Indian, with ber mouth full of half chewed grass? hoppers! That was the gallan test con? duct we ever heard of. Oh, yes-Grant was gallant aboriginally! "Let me kiss him for bis mother!" [Pomeroy's Democrat. JURIES.-Tho stupid juryman who can never fully comprehend who tho defend? ant is, aud who has a conviction that the prosecuting attorney is really tbe crimi? nal on trial; the obstinate juryman, who declines to bo influenced by the plainest evidence; tho juryman of obstrusivo hilliness, who asks preposterous ques? tions in order to display his insanity; and the deaf juryman, who never hears a word of testimony and sleeps comfort? ably through the entire trial, are types with which every attendant at the court? room is wearily familiar. [New York Times. Ono of San Francisco's largest cara? vansaries is entirely under the manage? ment of the fair sex.

He alleges that early on tho morning of April 8th, while comfortably snoozing in his bcd, two men aroused him, and by threats of death, compelled bim to ac? company them to tho house of a neigh? bor half a mile, aud on arriving there made him staud up and be married to a lady for whom ho had no inclina? tion.

In fact, he wa? utterly disgraced, anil has loft St. Petersburg for Puris, with a pousiou of 3,000 rubles per annum.

According to ibo information, received at Washington by the active friends of ! the Cincinnati Convention, there will be delegates from every State in the Union except Oregon, Nevada, Florida and South Carolina. The California delegt . tion, however, will probably include j among its representatives of the liberal ] Republicans of Nevada and Oregon. Either ex-Senator Foster, of Connecti? cut, or Gov. Brown, of Missouri, or Gov. Palmer, of Illinois, or Col. McClure, of I Pennsylvania, will probably be elected President of the convention, while there will be a vice-President and Secretary from every State and some of the Terri? tories, includiug this District. The various delegations, iu order to secure proper State representation when the balloting for President is commenced, will hold meetings aud elect members from each Congressional Distriot, and thus change the convention from a Na? tional Mass Convention into a National Liberal Republican Nominating Conven? tion. In that way only, it is stated, can there bo ascertained a choice for a Presi? dential nomination. A lotter from Lima, Peru says: "I have seen not a few wretched old duen? nas, part Indian, part negro aud part Spaniard, as ugly as night, with only a aiugle long ootton garment aud an old poncho for a dress, who had the poncho clasped by a diamond brooch that the 1 Queen of Eugluiid would not disdaiu to wear. Tho sole ambition of tho Lima lady, then, seems to be to outshine her neighbor's diamonds, uud innumerable little jealousies arise from tbeso attempts at display. The fair Litnuuiau may be successful in nil her little intrigues of Stutu and of society-in which, indeed, she truly delights-aud many revel in tho most luxurious silks, satius aud vel? vet, but poor indeed shu considers her? self-no matter what treasures Bho pos? sesses-if she does not number among ber valuables a casket of the rurest gems. Honor, poverty, famine-iu fact, utter destruction-ar? nothing, compared with tho deprivation of brilliant bau? bles." DURAIUMTY OF WOODS.-Experiments have recently beou made, by driving sticks made of different woods, each two feot long and ono aud a half inchos j Dinare, into the ground, only a half iuch projecting outward. It was found that in live years, nil those made of oak, elm, ash, fir, 6oft mahogany, uriel nearly every variety of pino, wer? totally rotten. Larch, hard pine aud teak wood were decayeel on tue outside only; whilo acacia, with tho exception of being also slightly attacked on tho exterior, was othcrwiso souud. Hard mahogauy aud cedar of Lebauou were in tolerably good condition. But ouly Virginia cedar was found as good us wheu put in the ground. This is of some importance to builders, showing what wood should bo avoided, and what others usetl in preference, in under-ground work. Dc.vTn OF Dit. H. D.

A magician was displaying his powers in a Texas towu a few days ago, and in? troduced thc familiar trick of pretend? ing to load a pistol ami thou allowing a spectator to tiru nt him. Tho spectator, not to bo outdono in idoight-of-band, managed to drop a bullet in tho barrel and killed tho luckless exhibitor off? hand. "You have been sorely tried," said a sympathizing friend to Joo Crowdcn, weeping over tlie coffin of his third wife. "Yes," responded tho bereaved one, "I have always had tho dreadfulest luck with women." WHICH THH HUMAN AND WHICH THE BBUTE?-The Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph vouches for the following singular hone story: On Monday evening last, a man whose name we could not learn, was seen wend? ing his way up Julien avenue, leading a mare by the bridle. He was badly in toxicated, so muoh so that he staggered, and it was sometimes as much as he could do to maintain his equilibrium. The maro kept a close watch upon his movemonts, and whenever he came near falling the mare would grab his ooat col? lar between her teeth end hold him up. She did so no less than a dozen times, in tho presenae of several spectators. The druukeu man fell down in the street once, but no sooner had he done so than the animal grabbed the baok of his coat and set him on his feet again. When a little beyond MoNulty's house, the owner of the mare met an acquaintance of his who was also drunk. They en? gaged in conversation, and, while talk? ing, bumped against each other, and the man first alluded to fell. He was imme? diately picked up by the mare, and, just as soon as she had fiuished her job, she turned around and let her heels fly, in a savage manner, at the man who knocked her master down. Fortunately ber heels missed the mark. THE WHITE COUNT.-Those who de? light in mystery will be glad to hear of a new claimant to the throne of Spain, whose career has been almost as strange as that of the famous Man in the Iron Mask, and will recall the interest awakened some years ago by the ques? tion, "Have we a Bourbon among us?" It appears by lato advices from abroad that a prince has appeared, and has been recognized and received by the ex-King of Naples aud otbers of the Bourbon family. Hin history is thin: Ferdinand VII of Spain, the father of the ex-Queen Isabella, had four wives, one of whom died in giving birth to a son. It appears that this obild was sooretly taken to the United Stages, was brought up in the vicinity of Now Orleans, and there mar? ried, in bia nineteenth year, a beautiful creole. The son of this wedded pair is the young man who now, under the odd titlo of the Whito Count, olaims the throne of Charles V. If his idontity be established, he bas precedence over the young Prince of the Asturias in his claim. It is said that the Legitimists of Spain are greatly excited over this new heir to royal honors; but it seems quite as probable that tho whole story is the pleasant fiction of some lively French feuilletonist. STATISTICS OF COLOIIED SOLDIERS. The Secretary of War has transmitted to Congress a statement of the number of colored Boldiors enlisted during the war, their previous condition, and the amount of money required to pay the enlisted slaves' bounty. The total number en? listed was 178,075, of whom 144,426 were slaves. Under the existing law, slaves enlisted subsequent to July, 1864, are entitled to bounty, the same as freemen. The number enlisted prior to July, 1864, and who are allowed bounty under tho bill pending in thc military commission is 21,537; aud of this number, at least one-fifth have forfeited any claim upon tho Qovernment by desertion and other causos. The Secretary states that case the bill posses, $2,000,000 will bc required to pay the bounty allowed.

C. ? 27 THE INVALID-A PXN PICTDBE.-See her pallid countenance, but a short time ago the picture of ruddy health, the envy of the school and tho pride ot the household. She was always welcomed by her schoolmates, for her lithe form and pleasing disposition car? ried obeerfulnoBB int j their ranks. Diligent, punctual and exemplary, obedient and uraco ful at home, she won the hearts of all. But, alasl we are sorrowed. Those rosy cheeks and ruddy lips are blanohed by conBamption. Tho voice oteo so enchanting In laugh and song is feeble, husky and supplanted by a hollow cough. Let us approach her couch gently and take her hand. Do not shudder because of the feeble and passionless grasp. The hand once so hearty and plump is ema? ciated, and ?hows bouy outline?, while tho cords and tortuous veins are plainly mapped upon the surface. The pulse that bounded with repletion, carrying vigor to the whole system, and imparting life, beauty, vivacity, health and strength, is delioate to the touch. The feeble hoart cannot propel tho thin, scanty blood with force. Must we lose ber while yet in her teens? Companions and friends gather .around with words of cheer and consolation, and depart with moistened eyes and silent steps. Must wo lose her? No. there in a relief! We can stay this destroyer of our happiness, and not suffer the loss of so bright a gem.~ Something more is required now than dietary and hygienic observance, for nature calla for aid, ana she shall have it. Take thia pleasant medicine. It is invigorat? ing. How it allays the irritable cough, im? proves the appetite and digestion, and sends a healthy tingle through the frame. The blood is enriched, nervous force increased, and the heart bounds with a new impulse. Seo her face brighton by degrees; tho color is returning, her voice is getting clearer, and pleasant words are spoken. Tho strength falters yet, but is gaining. Let ns take her out in tbe warm sunshine. In a short time, Bbc will be able to go without our aid, a cheer? ful girl. Thia delightfnl medicine must be God-blessed, lt is restoring health to om* loved ono. She is emerging from her sick? ness ewoeter and nobler than before, and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery must have the credit. It has raised her. Sold by all first class druggists everywhere. TUE LATEST SWINDLE.-Certain sanctimo? nious charlatans would fain persuade the world that diffusive stimulants have no medi? cinal value, and that detestable slops, com? posed of griping acids and drastic purga? tives, aro better tonics than the finest vege? table ingredients combined with the purest and mellowest products of the still. But this sort of thing won't go down. The stomach of onr common sense rt-jeots it, ns the physi? cal stomach of everyman with an undepraved palate rejectB, with loathing and abhorrence, the nauseous abominations, "free from alco? hol," which humbugs are trying to thrust down the throats of temperance invalids, under the pretence that the filth will do them Sood. It is not likely that while PLANTATION ITTKHS, tho standard Tonio of America, lia anywhere acc?s, ible, such sickening frauds can make mach headway, but it is as well to put the public on their guard against them!
