Wo pass over. the-return* given of the prostrate oondition of the city, and its trade at the cIoho ol the war, of the losses by fire und of the broken and worn-out linos of railway connecting it with the interior, of tho loss more espe? cially of banking and private capital and of the heavy rates of interest which have sinoe uniformly prevailed, and of the -disruption of former political antl social ?organizations. In spite of these and other impediments,, wo find .that the re? ceipts of cotton have increased from 111,714 bales in 1865-66, and 165,316 bales in 1866-67, to, 282,086 bales in 1871-72; [ being respectively five . per oent., eight per cent, and ten per cent, of the outiro crop. A full proportion of ?these receipts of cotton went to the mar? ket for sale, and not as through cotton, which affords, in comparison, the mere semblance of business. - The sea island culture has not prospered of late years, . owing ohiofly to the ravages of caterpil? lars and unfavorable seasons. Dimi? nished planting and diminished export have ensued. The planters of sea islands have not improved their oondition since the war, and the Northern capitalists who have been induoed to enter into the culture, have fared no better, having generally sunk their capital so invest? ed. Planters of long staplo cotton, in oonsequoBce of improved quality of ootton grown in Egypt, the Fejee and Sandwich Islands, South America and Texas, from the finer seeds of the sea islands, have lost control of tho prices abroad for their beautiful, delicate and unique crop. In rice, receipts, which were only 4,019 tierces in 1865-66, and 15,837 tierces in 1866-67, were 42,677 in 1871-72; and the exports have increased from 3,120 tierces in 1865-66 to 32,610 tieroes in 1871-72. The superiority of Carolina* rioe is recognized in the princi? pal markets of Europe and America. The rapid renovation in its oolture evinces not only the indomitable perse? verance of the planter, but the wisdom of the Government in protecting (ho fruits of his labors until he oan regain strength. Tho Ohanabur of Commerce appropriately direot the attention of oapitaliatn to the tempting opportunity of investments in theao fertile alluvial lands. Charleston has for* eome time been briskly engaged in two important branches of commerce?lumber and naval stores. Her lumber mills are on an ex? tended aoalo, and afford the best facilities for cutting, handling and shipping of lumber; while Jibe, bold river fronts of th?r olty, with ampl? ponds, securely pro tected, where the immense rafts await the chipper, are propablj ur^aaled in ^ny Southern (^arket. ^Th? ,sl^ri?nU; Rrere 8,869,171 tuet ib.

This will be done under autho? rity of a joint resolution. passed at the last session of tho Legislature. Tho Clerks will famish to the gentlemen se? lected a series of inquiries with regard td the soil,'olimate, produotions, mann j faotures and mechanical and. mineral charaetetistios of the section in whioh they live, and will ask for such other particulars as will Berve to carry out tho object of the inquiry. It is expected that, H this way, trustworthy reports Pan be. Becurcd from every .County, whioh reports, when submitted to the Legitilutore, can be collated and put in Buch shape as will ma\e them valuable as a means of attracting immigrants to the Statu. This hat been dope in the North and West with excellent effect. And what has been done elsewhere can be done here, if we make up our minds to put our best foot foremost?uud keep it iu.front. . Speaking of the Newberry and Chea? ter Railroad, and the cotton mill about to be completed in Newberry County, the Herald, of the 2Gih instant, pays this handsome compliment to Senator Cor? win, whose energy we commend to the people of the State. ThiBisa movoio the right direction: "It is our aim to keep these two im? portant measures before the people, and, if possible, have them pushed through to successful completion. We are pleased to say, therefore, that our State Senator, I Mr. Corwin, informs us of his having obtained subscriptions to the amount of $30,000 already, which amount will be paid in as soon as the sworn commis? sioners for Newborry are ready to re? ceive. Let others follow. And in re? gard to the cotton mill, tho same gentle? man states that the bill says, in regard to the tax, that, instead of an exemption of two miiis, us is thought, ibo whole or regular tax will be collected, but will be returned as a bouns to the company. Both enterprises show favorable sigus, we ore pleased to say, and it is hoped that beforo fall they will be almost, if not quite, accomplished. Mr. Corwin is I working hard as a representative of the I people's interest." "Chicken soiree" is tho Georgia eu? phemism for chicken dispute.

Unfortunately, how? ever, their tutor, who boarded in the house, hod loaded the gun to bhoot wild turkeys. The boy, advanced to his younger brother, abbot nine years of [ age, placed the gun to'the back of >the iatter's bead, and pulled the trigger. The weapon was instantly discharged, I and the entire load penetrated the head of the boy, blowing the top of it to atoms and causing immediate death.
