Baron: 'Ye haVe just performed the i*st duties to At|r, Senator Orr, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten? tiary of the United States of America at the Imperial Court, who died at St. Pe? tersburg on the 234 of April (May 5.) Although ho bad entered upon his du? ties bat a short time previously, Mr. J. Li. Orr had made a most favorablo im EresBion upon the mind's of all who bad een brought into contact with him. His Majesty the Emperor had deigned to receive him with -special kindness, and, for my part, I had only reason to congratulate myself upon the personal relations existing between us. I noed not tell you, therefore, how. deeply bis sadden death bas affected us all, nor how general is the regret felt in consequence thereof. The sentiments entertained by me are shared by our august master, and it id by order of his Imperial Majesty that I request you to bring them to the knowledge of the American Federal Go? vernment. Receive, &o., GORTSCHAKO FF. Defaetm bnt of State, Washington, May 29, 1873. To W Y. Leitch, E*q , Charleston, S. C. Sir: As it is inferred from yoar letter to Uii j department, of the (3th instant, that you may bavo been a. particular friend of the late Jame? L. Orr, it bas occurred to me that the accompanying translation of a despatoh in regard to that gentleman, from Prince Gortsoha koff to B?ron OfJVnburg, the Minister of Russia here, might not be unacceptable to yon and others, especially in South Carolina. I am, your obedient servant, HAMILTON FISH. It is understood that tho remains of Judge Orr, when they arrive in New York, will lio in state, und that the mu. uicipul authorities, the Masonio frater? nity aud tho diplomatic corps will tako part in tbo ceremonies. -?-??? General McKenzie.?General Ran? dall S. McKenzie, tho officer who fol? lowed and routed the bund of Kickapoos on Mexican soil, is tbo son of Commo? dore McKenzie, of the United -St a tew Navy. His father's name, originally, won Slidell, but ho had it changed to McKenzie, to please a relative of that name and inherit his fortune. He was a brother of the late John Slidell, of New Orleans, captured on tho Trent as a Confederate OommisBiouor. Commo? dore McKenzie will bo particularly re? membered by his having hung, thirty years ngo, at tbo yard-aria of his vessel, tbo brig Somers, a mid-shipman, tbo Bon of the then Secretary of War, John C. Spencer, together with Cockswain Crom? well and a private sailor, for mutiny. Randall Slidell MoKenzio graduated at West Point, in 1862, and entered the army as second lieutenant of engiueors. Ho rose rapidly, and at the cIobo of the war, ho held the rank of brevet M?ior Gauer&l of voluuteers, and Captain of Engineo-s iu the regular army.

Redemption r.f Soatti C?rulln?-So. ?. Mr. Editor: I notioo that yonr tolo graphic despatches, oq the 24th Ol May, announce the arrival of 40,000 immi? grants at Castle Garden, New York, dar? ing the past week. Will the people of Sooth Carolina allow this great tide of immigration to oontinne to flow into this great country of oars, and not make at least an effort to tarn Borne of it into South Carolina? It is from this source that the North and West havo so oat grown us in population, wealth and po? litical power iu the Genernl Government. They have long ago known and under? stood this important subject, and have been making every effort possible to secure the citizenship of these people seeking homes in oar country, while we in South Carolina have been .sitting here idle and unwilling to do anything to secure this great boon for the develop? ment of the resources of our Statu and oar political equality in the Government, and tho result is, that while the North? ern and western seoiiouS of oar coun? try, under the very liberal naturalization laws of the United Statos, have grown rich in population, wealth and power, they have become oar masters. It is estimated that these immigrants bring with them, on an average, $50 in gold for each person; and if so, they brought over $2,000,000 in one week. Give us 40,000 more inhabitants, soattered over our State, with $2,000,000 more money in circulation, nnd no one can now form any idea what a marked difference there would be for the better in business affairs of every kind all over the State. City and country merchants would find many a dollar ooming into their drawers that they do not now dream of; and farmers, millers and tradesmen of all kinds would find good and enloient labor seeking employment at their hands; owners of real estate would find an in? creasing demand for their lands, with bolter prices than they now ever expect to get. Citizens of South Carolin?., do you desire theBe happy changes to be brought about? We believe you do, and we feel quite sure that their accom? plishment is very easily within your reaoh. ? The whole matter is in oar handfl, and if wo fail, the fault is, as always has been, our own. We possess inducements not excelled, and in many instances not equaled, by any State in the Union. The pleasantness and salubrity of our olixnate is unsurpassed. In winter, we are freo from those great, and in many instances destructive, snow Btorms, biting froBts and sharp, piercing winds of the North and West; while in dummer we are equally free from the burning and accu? mulated heat of the more Southern por? tion of our country; and beiDg thus cen? trally Jocated, our'productions are more varied than in any State North or South of us. Oar. rains in summer, as a gene? ral thing, are very regular, and we are not near so subjeot to those severe and destructive storms of wind and bail, bo common in the North and WeBt. The fertility of our soil is all that con be de? sired in a good, healthy country. By proper, oaltare, we oan produce, upon an average, one bale of ginned ? cotton, weighing from 400 to 500 pounds, or forty bunhelu of corn or wheat or oats, to the acre; and our rice lands aro not equaled in the world in the production of quantity and quality of rice. With all these advantages in our favor, with thonaandB more not now mentioned, we oan most certainly get all the immigra? tion we desire. Fellow-citizens of South Carolina, we respectfully refer you to our communication on this subjeot, pub? lished in the Daily Pucbnix, on Tines day, April 29, whore you will find the plan agreed upon by a number of large land-holders; and for the information and satisfaction of "A Land-Holder," whoso communication appeared in the Phoenix, on the Cth of May, we will here say, that we aro slowly but surely carry? ing forward our plans to reach the ends net forth in our communication of the 20th of April. We thank him for tho encouragement he thus gives us, nnd we wish that we had thousands more in onr State liko him. As soon as our list of land-holders represents 50,000 acres, (more than half of which we already have,) we shall oall meetings to organize. We have received several private letters from merchants and professional men ou the subject, but have as yet seen but little from them through the newspapers of the coun try. It is through tho papers that we expeot to inform the masses of tho people, and to disouss the merits or demerits, if any, of our plan to secure tho immigration wo so much need and desire. Come, then, farmers, land-hold ors, builders, millers and tradesmen, doctors, preachers, lawyers, oflico-hold ers and ye politicians; we respectfully in? vite you to correspond with us on this subjeot, through the papers and private? ly. Editors and proprietors of papers, as a goneral thing, are very liberal men, and will give us all the space we need to disouss this subject, and will, at the same time, give us all the aid and in? formation they can. Lot us vie with each other in this great work of the re? demption of our good old State. We are all equally interested. Your corres? pondent having been appointed by the original combination of land-holders us their Secretary pro tern., will, for the pre? sent, receive and answer all communica? tions on this subject, which should be addressed to A FARMER, Box 20, Columbia, S. C. Crossing thb Atlantic in a Balloon. It is now proposed to make the attempt to crose the Atlantio in a balloon. Prof. Wise is willing to make the experiment, and the upper branoh of the city govern? ment has passed an order under which, if the other branoh concur, he may start from Boston Common on the Fourth of July, with the nnderbtanding that if he succeeds the city will handsomely com? pensate him for his expenses.

Obb ? ?* letter to the New York Tri? bune, from St. Petersburg, dated May the 8th, eays: The diplomatic career of Governor Orr oame to a painful end be? fore it was fairly began. It is not qaite two months sinoe he arrived in St. Petersburg aud presented his credentials to the Emperor. He was suffering at the time from a severe cold, oontraoted dur? ing the Atlantio passage, and about a week after bis formal installation in his new office he was forced to take his bed. From that day ho did not leave bis apartments. Oold settled on his lungs, and uftorwards passed to his liver, so that hie blood became seriously affected. No serious result was apprehended, how? ever, and on Friday, four days before be died, his friends thougbt he was slowly yet steadily improving; but on Monday last the last change came, and he died quite suddenly at 2 o'elook. The funeral BervioeB were celebrated to-day at the chapel of the English-American Society. There was no discourse, and the pastor simply read the impressive ritual of the Ohurob of England, and olosed with a short prayer. Tho gloomy little ohapol was by no means fall. There were some dozen ladies, English and American, half a dozen American gentlemen in blaok, and thirty or forty diplomats in their brilliant, yet sombre, Court costumes. The Austrian Ambas? sador was there and the Ministers of Brazil, Italy, Qreece and tho attache?* of other legations as well as of the foreign office. Mr. J. L. Orr, Jr., the solitary family mournor, stood side by side with Gen. Pomntz, the Consul, who wore the familiar uniform of a Brigadier General of the American army. The scene was indescribably ead. After the rector had finished tho service, the diplo? matists walked around the coffin and dropped each upon it a little sand. The civilians present did the same. A CniLD Chained for Three Months by his Father.?Yesterday, Col. Ed? ward O. Anderson, Mayor of Savapnah, Dr. Arnold and Alderman Douglass, pro? ceeded to the house of Mr. W. G. Yorke, a German who keeps u boer saloon on tbe corner of Bull street and Broughton street lane, to investigate an account that had reached their ears of the close and protracted imprisonment of u little son of Yotke, ngod some ten or cloven years. Tho little fellow, whoso name is Willie, was found confir.el by a ohain attached to his right ankle by an iron sbakle, the chain being about a yard in length and fastened to a tabto leg. He was nearly bare of clothing, and was in most un? cleanly plight, having been kept in this position in the small kitohon of the es? tablishment, by his own statement, since two weeks before St. Patrick's Day, whioh Would mako the time three months. At night he had slept on. a lounge. Tbe hon anklet during this period had worn the flesh on his foot and ankle, and tbe red and festering marks of the cruelty spoko their own tale. The little prisoner said his father had fre? quently bonnd his hands behind him with a tightly drawn rone that cat ??he skin on his wrists, and kept him tied thus for periods of a month at a timo. The mother of the boy is dead, his father having a second wife. The Mayor or? dered the boy to be washed and decently dressed, and assigned him a large and neat room at the police barraoks. The grand jury has been informed of the cir? cumstances.?Savmuiah Republican. During the deooration ceremonies at Arlington, by the Grand Army of the Republic, on the 30th ult., Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmadge said thero were three armies here?one the living sympathetic host, one tbe 15,000 army, and one "tho Invisible Host that hover above.as?the immortals who mingle on all grand and holy occasions, led by tbo Lord of Hosts, who is mighty in battle." He spoke with feeling eloquence of tho occasion and its associations, urging that nothing should bo done to wake the old feud between tbe North and tho South. "I am told," he said, "that after a Southern woman had decorated tho grave of a Southern soldier, a Northorn man woaring a uni? form took up tho wreath and tore it to tho winds. He may have had on tho epaulettes, but ho was not worthy the name of a soldier. I would that all the wreaths that have ever been laid upon tho graves of tho Northern and Southern dead might be lifted aud linked toge? ther, each garland a link, and that with that one long bright pleasant chain, a chain of roses and lilies, the whole nature might bo onoiroled in everlasting unity and good feeling." Tho Now York Herald olosed an article on tho unfortunate Arctic navigator, Captain Hall, by styling him a soldier "faithful in futile fight against tbe freaks and frolics of ficklo fortune," and a "fruitless farer in the former fa tu of faultless, fearless philanthropists." The alliterative author of this fearful flum? mery would doubtless have spelled "phil? anthropists" with nn "f," if tho printer had not already emptied the box of that letter. County Convention Extraordinary. The peoplo of Iroquois County, Ind., in convention assembled, on the occasion of Mrs. Samuel Smith, of that County, giving birth to four children at one time, have requested the Governor to take such steps, through their Senators and Representatives in Congress, as will se? cure an appropriation to the father and mother, and t'o each of said children to one seotion of land. The Eipzootio Hereditary.?The epizootio turns out to bo an horeditary disease in Iowa. Colts in Plymouth County, as soon as thoy are loalod, Bbow all tho symptoms of tbe horse disease which attacked their progenitors last year, and are dying in large numbers; sixty deaths are reported in ono town? ship. Raffs are now worn so largo that they bavo to bo s'iflened with wire. A Senator on Politics ?Senator Car? penter spoke oaly a half truth when be ec as sailed the people of New Orleans, in his recent speech, to let politic? alone. If by politics the Senator meant the noisy slang and wordy recrimination of the hustings and of partisan journals,' whose sole idea of their work is -to white? wash their own faotion and blacken the alverae aide, he was right. Politics of that description cannot be let alone too aoveroiy. No man who has self-respect or any respectable vocation to follow, should ever touoh the politics of the slums and gutters. But there is another class of politics which- appertains to the administration of public affairs on fair, just, common sense, business principles; and in this study, men are not likely to be too deeply interested. The danger is, that they may not tako the interest in it that its importanoe requires. Senator Carpenter advised the people of New Orleans to pay attention "to their indus? tries and buBiuesa." Very good; bnt of hint and make money, if a prufligute State Government devours their sub? stance, depreciates the value of their property, and drives off commerce? The Senator would not be willing to see a Stute Government like that of Kellogg, the offspring of judicial usurpation, fraud and the bayonet, eot over the heads of the people of Wisconsin. He knows very well that buoIi politics as that would make Wisconsin desolate, und banish industry aud trade from her borders. There can be no permanent business, no prosperous industry, in a State whose Government is like that of Louisiana, Mexico has been a standing example, for many years, of the evil in? fluence exerted by unstable, violent, re? volutionary politics over the industry aud business of c country rieh in natu? ral resources. [Louisrille Courier-JouAtiat. Monastic institutions tj re Sur pressed in Rome.?Tho Chamber of Deputies of the Ituliun Parliament has dually passed the bill for tho suppres? sion and abolition of religions corpora? tions in Rome. There is little doubt that the measure will, in its complete? ness, reoeivo tho sanction of the crown. Tha Italian treasury needs money, and the property of the roligious foundations baa become valuable after oaceful culture, and by nn agglomeration of endowments in many centuries. It partakes, bow ever, of an international, world wide ownership, to a very considerable ex? tent. This fact may lead to many com? plications hod some fresh diflioulties to tbo Government of Kiug ^Victor Em? manuel. Indications of suoh a result are, indeed, already apparent. The le? gislative accomplishment of tho measure in Rome will add to the continental ex? citement which is radiating rapidly from Paris. A Roman journal says the list of re? ligious houses which have been already suppressed by tho Italian Government in Rome and the buildings converted to Government uses?barracks, military store-booses, a poor-house, army maga? zines and for the. use of official dorks? numbers thirty-fivo. Re-interment of Remains of Soutil ern Soldiers.?Thursday was a mourn? ful day in Richmond, Va. Tho memory of the lost, blunted by time, was revived on that day, by tho arrival of 333 South? ern soldiers, who had never surrendered, but laid down their lives in a cause they believed to be just, on the heights at Gettysburg. They were not met with music and orations and waving of hand? kerchiefs, but a Bolemu cortege of their surviving comrade?, with mutllad drum and arms reversed, followed their moul? dered remains through crowded streets, silent us death, where only the quivering lip and brimful eye was the tribute to their memory. ?U along the line of march, stores were closed, and business in the city was generally suspended, to enable the citizens to participate in tho ro-intermout of the dead at Gettysburg Hill, in Hollywood Cemetery, so sacred to Virginians. After the bodies woro deposited in tho vaults prepared for their reception, tbo Richmond Howitzers tired a salute, aud the assemblage quietly dispersed. Captain Jack as a Government De? tective.?Now that Captain Jack has succeeded in detecting the weaknesses of United States troops in the matter of Indian lighting, Bupposo, when ho is captured, as he no doubt will bo event? ually, unless he commits felo de se, his life bo spared, upon condition of his ex? posing tho white scamps who havo been supplying him with ammunition and provisions, to onablo him to protract the contest so long? Suppose he makes a clean breast of tho whole system of fron? tier rascality, by which the Indians are kept on tho war-path and white settlers in a continual state of alarm and dread, all for tho benefit of n horde of villain? ous speculators, laud-grabbers, whiskoy tradors and renegade whites? Captain Jack as a Government dotectivo might make some atonement for his past crimes. If the Government should not happen to be satisfied with his disclosures, it could hang or shoot him afterwards all tho same.?New York Herald. A lifo insurance case has just been de? cided by the United States Circuit Court at Des Moines, Iowa. A wife bronght suit against the Mutual Benefit Lifo In surauoo Company for a policy on the life oi her husband, who disappeared mysteriously at Cbioago in 18C7, and has not since been heard from. The com? pany claimed that tho disappearanco was no proof of death, but letters of adminis? tration had been taken out, and tho court decided that such letters were evi? dence of his death, and that tho policy must bo paid.

White writes the reign of George III, and makes no mention of Wesley or the rise of Methodism. A more" prejudicial mistake would be to write the history of Virginia, or of the United States, or^of Christianity, with? out giving prominence to the prolonged and gigantic struggle in this State for religious freedom, or tho restoration of the Christly principle of spiritual wor? ship. To describe an ingenious and useful mechanism, without mentioning the primary foroe and the inventor, would bo un philosophical and tin just. To tell of voluntaryism in the United States and its success, as contra-distin? guished from and opposed to alliance of church and State, without an intelligible account of its genesis, would be to stop short just where the national or devout inquirer demands light end knowledge."
