Tnosfey Morning;,QqU b?r 7,1^7o\ Kxttjk i?ttt<m or^fc^gl.iiu^ft.. Two weeks ires to-day, the South Carolina Legislature will convene in extra session. The proclamation of the Goveraorto that effect will, as we are informed, be issued in a few days. We presume that he will ernte the grounds opon which he bases the necessity for this extra-.expense, .and propose the measures of legislation which are so urgent as to make, ihdisrjensable this extraordinary step.. We trtwb that he wilt be explioit and'f nil in gratifying the reasonable onriosity of the people to know what la in tho wind, and, if possi? ble/ by leoture or otherwise, induce that body to consider the matters presented for their aotion with proper economy of time and of lbs people's measyr His Excellency will excuse us for making this., ?aggestion. We have a vivid reoollsotion of the - last session, whioh lasted four months, and after all that time of labor and travail, brought forth only a series of Acts, whioh grant? ed insignificant charters, altered names difficult to pronounce to others more unpronounceable atill, and very care? fully looked after the per diem of the members. We remember, too, that mnoh time was consumed in eleotionB, each one of whioh wak preceded and followed by aotive canvassing and re? joicing, and'all of whioh helped to swell the bill. It was in consequence of this regard for the merest trifles and for per? sonal Indulgence, that weightier matters were passed by and neglected. The bill for exemption of capital in manu? factures from, taxation, the bill for a general charter law, the fence law, and the bill to promote the introduction of immigrants into the State, all important as they were, failed for this reason, or for some other no better. The question of the bonds and the publio debt may also be placed in. this category of ne? glected business and violated trusts. In the voluminous, message which the , Governor transmitted to tho Legislature ' at the beginning of last session, he pro? mised to mature and present a scheme touching the finances. The difficulties surrounding the subject were great, he said, and demanded time and reflection. The session closed without any aotion on the part of the Legislature and without any epooifio recommendations from the Oovornor on this important subjeot. Things were left in tiatu quo, and the people' icondemned to Egyptian dark? ness.' During the present year we have had the suits of Morton, Bliss & Co. against the State, to recovor the interest opon oertain State bonds held by them, and the decision of the Supreme Court in the ; mandamus case, ordering the Comptroller to. levy the tax necessary to discharge tho amount of this interest. So things stund. We suppose that by this time, and, pressed by the moment? ous ^events at which we have glanced, the Governor is now compelled to faoe the question. Bumor is basy in circu? lating what his suggestions will proba? bly be. Wo-shall not heed her tales, but look With what hope and confidence we can muster, to hoar from him tho sternest reoommondatione to throw, overboard every bond and every claim to whioh tho least shadow of suspicion can attach. To this he and his party are solemnly bound in the terms of their platform, and to this, whatever the ac? tivity or power Of "rings," the people will steadily hold them. And, if he takes this'position, and consistently and firmly holds it, and the legislative ao? tion be in accordance with it, and the people be thus relieved of half tho dubt which has been industriously and fraudulently piled up against them, he will not only do a jast and proper thing, but will blunt the edge of the oritioism and opprobrium whioh rest upon his name. This is his opportunity. He will d? wrong to the State and to him? self to neglect it. Let us have tho debt thoroughly investigated and oat down to its exact and proper eom. Beviyaij off Thadh.?The produce markets at all points are becoming quite active, the exports within the last few days having materially quickened. At N?w York, it is, reported, {be ocean freight market is again decidedly stronger, rates on grain by steam to Liverpool and Glasgow having advanced one penny per, bushel; .with general cargo quotations also favoring Ship owners,'who were offering accommoda? tion less freely, At- Baltimore, grain has been Steadily going on shipboard to a large amount through all the panic, though mostly on prior engagements.

Ysi^ow J?os.?-Tbs following letter, addressed to the editor of the Atlanta Herald, gives a trustworthy report of the origin end spread of yellow fever in Shreveport, La.: Yon have read of tbe violenoe of this fever, its usual malignant form aud frightful fatality. A traveling oircus and menagerie stopped in the place a few days, and was attached by their' oreditors. This detained the company some weeks. A number of the attache* died, with very short illness. Immedi? ately in the neighborhood iu wbioh the circus was located, the disease began, and in ten days embraced tbe city. It is pronounced the Spanish yellow fever, or Mexican vomito. It takes them off in about five days?several I have beard of in two days, aud one yestorday, ? strong and vigorous, in twenty-four honrs. An old physician, who has passed through four seasons of yellow fever, said to mo: "My patients all dio. j Only a small per oentage recover." This city claims 12,000 populotiou?say 10,000, two-thirds negroes, leaving whites 3,000 or 4,000; half huvo left the place. We, therefore, have 1,500 to 2,000 whites. Out of this number, I quite a large proportion bad the fever in 1853 and 1867, and hence not so lia? ble to it. Now, a mortality of twenty live to forty per day is fearful to con? template. The deaths are diminishing for want of material?not that its ma? lignity has diminished; if any change, it hdS increased. It is spreading in the suburbs and country for miles around. No abatement can bo hoped for until frost, and that we cannot expeot for four to six weeks. ' Just think what distress and mourning this fever has entailed. Families fatherless and motherless; fathers left without a wife or children; in some two or throe oases, entire fami? lies have all died. The Howard Asso? ciation are doing wonders, with the very liberal donations from other cities and the .very excellent organization of tbe Association. All the sick are provided with nurses and all tbe comforts that money will command. The family with which I live consists of five members; two have died. Tllb others are yet to take it. The fever has attacked those whose who had it in 1853 and 1867. A number of such have died. The ne? groes are also being taken. It is ex? tending in the country with-fearful fa? tality. It has crossed Bed River to the East side, and doing sad havoc. I hear of the death of one in twenty-four honrs who had it badly in 1867. I am slowly but gradually recovering; was out the most of yesterday, attending to some light duties. Tbe monthly report for September of tbe Department of Agrioulture has the following on cotton from this State: Orangeburg?Rusted; the rain threat? ens to reduoe the yield; caterpillars at work, but the crop is too far advanced for*mnoh injury from them. Claren? don?Injured by excessive rain; rust aud casting of fruit very general. Fair field?Increased acreage lost by laok of working; muoh upland cotton has taken a new growth, and will be too late for fruiting. Chesterfield?Reduoed ton per cent, by excessive rain, oansing an extensive shedding of bolls. Marion? Too wet for cotton; rusted on thin lauds; on highly manured lands the bolls rot as they mature. Lexington? Excessive rain causes too much weeds and shedding of young bolls; seed from tbe department show a marked supe? riority. Riohland?Caterpillars all over tbe County; damage not yet developed. Wilhamsburg?Much injured by rains; forms falling; oaterpillura destructive. York?Excessive August rains caused much casing of fruit; crop declining from its first high condition. Marlbo? ro?Hoavy rains have brought rust and shedding of forms iu sandy lauds; worms destructive on bottom lauds. Laureus?Opened three weeks late; largo growth t6 shed; worms aud rot developed. Union?Acreage somewhat increased; more commercial fertilizers than usual; short of labor. Edgefield?? Injured ten per cent, by rust; duo to guano. Taking all tbe States together, the report holds that the present season can scarcely be deemed quite an ave? rage ouo for cotton; but whon wo recall tbe fact that drought, severe rains, wind storms, insects, rust?all these or most of tbom?are recorded of every crop that is made, it will be seen that seasons worse than the present are almost as numerous as those that are better. Should tbe autumn prove unusually fa? vorable, an average yield might yet be obtained. The potato orop of the coun? try stands at about ninety-five. Barley iu the South is below the average Sweet potatoes aro above the average, except in South Carolina, whom they stand ninety-nine. The hay crop ex? ceeds tbe averago from two to uiuotosn per cent. The severity of the last win? ter has shown its destructive results in the shortness of all the fruit crops. In a few Counties, insect injuries are noted; but these pests appear to havo found but little scope for their ravages in the stinted growth of the crops. A scarcity and inferiority, of fruit is a chronic complaint. Tobacco averages about uinety. Willie; the sou of Mr. QroenB. Bush, postmaster and , railroad agent at Hop? kins'..T'iruQUt,, had his arm so badly shuttered by tho bursting of <bis gun thut (Imputation wns necessary. " on Monday, swept across Charleston, in * North-westerly direction, with fearfal velocity, striking the freight depot of tbe Northeastern Railroad on tbe South? west single, breaohiog the ?olid brick vill om if it had bees S?bj?t?d to 4 cannonade, tearing np the roof, and oontinning its work of roin through the entire length of the depot, whioh is 250 feet long and forty wide, first complete? ly nncoveriog it, and then scattering its walls, a hnge mass of debris, npon tbe ground. The employees of the road who Trcro in the building wsrc forts nately admonished of the impending disaster by hearing a cracking sound as though the timbers were giving way, and, fearing that something might hap? pen to the strnoture, began to floe for safety, but, before they all could get out of danger, a shower of falling timber?, splinters and roofing fell around and npon tbem. Some of them made mi? raculous escapes, but others were over? taken by the falling ruins. One was killed outright, and several others in? jured duDgerooely or slightly. The orssh was heard at a great distance, causing people in the streets to pause to ascer? tain the cause of tbe ominous sound. The people who lived in the vioioity of the report were terribly alarmed and rushed to their windows and doors to hear what had occurred. Thu window sashes and glasses of the houses on tbe Bouth side of Ohapel street were foroed out by the.great volume of wind that rushed out of tbe depot when it fell. The depot, which seemed strong enough to resist any gale, was now lyiug a mere mass of ruins, with its huge rafters and columns scattered upon the earth, while orieB of distress from tbe wounded filled the air. Thoso who escaped ran wildly about the street, fearing to looV back upon thu scene whence they had just fled. A scene of tbe greatest confusion ensued. The news of tho'duaBter be? came generally known iu thu city, and people rushed from every direction to the scone, until Chapel street was so crowded that it became necessary to stretch ropes aoross it, to keep the way clear so that the hands Who were re? moving thu debris could work without interruption and as rapidly us the emer? gency required. It is ostimated that tbe damage done to tbe depot, freight, &c, will be between $50,000 and 875. 000. The President's office and Trea? surer's room wero completely demol? ished, and the Superintendent's office and other departments of the bureau of the oompany more or less injured. John Miller, a foreman of hands, was in? stantly killed; James Mazyok, an un? loading clerk, was buried in the ruiuB, but was dug out with bia ankle injmed; Cambridge Trott, a lad, bad one of bis legs broken and otherwise injured; Michael O'Shaughuessy, a laborer, bad? ly injured internally; John Kinnealy, a laborer, killed; twooolored men serious? ly hurt; Robort Steven, colored, and Edward Drew, colored, also hurt. Two mules and a horse, which were unload? ing at tho dopot, were so badly injured, having their legs aud thighs broken, that they wero shot to put an end to their Buffer.ijgs. United States Disthict Court.? The Ootober term of the United States Court for this District was opened in Charleston, on Monday,* by Judge Oeo. S. Bryan. All tbe attmcheea of the court were present and were sworn in. Soven grand and fourteen petit and pleas jurors answered to tbe call of their names, and being insufficient, the mar | sbal was ordered to summon as many more persons sb will complete the panel, so that it can be ready to-day. Ou the bankruptcy side of tho court, tho petition of Abner E. Smith, of Uniouville, was read and referred to tbe Registrar of tho Fourth District.

During tha past summer, wo were for ten days in com? pany with a gentleman from Newberry, who had, only a few days before, been relieved by this instrument, and so tho? roughly relieved that he perambulated the streets of New York during a wet spell of several days' duration, without inconvenience.

Subsequently he established a laboratory and engineer? ing oOico in Colorado, and was occupied during several years continuously as a chemist and metallurgist in the mineral regions of Colorado and Lake Superior These aro credentials whioh prima fame testify to fitness and skill, and enUne Professor Main to proper aonsiderejpon and respect.

As a missionary, President Grant'is not a success. His latest achievement in compulsory salvation is tbe turning out of the Roman Catholic fathers from tbe Osage Indian reservation, and the substitution of Quaker instructors.
