Surely noAmerican an hv9n read
he proceedingy of th6 ast hours of
he Iate Session of Corgress, without a lo
>lush. Both Houses presented scenes fr
>f violence, coifusion, haste and vul. ti
;arity, of a truly disgraceful character.
3il paragraphs as these - occur very tb
requently in the report: th
"Great confusion prevailed all ov- or
-r the Iall, and the galleries and lob- ei
Acs were crowded with spectators." r
Again, says the reporter: P
"Sundry violent struggles were oc- C
asionally made to obtain the floor, a
aundred or iore gentlemen rising at ti
mnee, and shouting out 'Mr. Speaker,' or
ieverally holding up the bills they b:
vere so anxious to have consideret1 se
l'he scenes occasioned much laughter." i.
Once more he pauses ini his labors, to in
iend this over the wires: te
"It was eight o'clock. The galler- ti
es were densely crowded, and lobby ti
nembers present increased in num- al
>ers. So much noise and confusion ar
)revailcd, that it was next to impossi- tL
ile to comprehend the legislative pro- di
,cdings. Memberswere continually fr,
roing to and returning from the outer til
-ooim, in which were liquid and solid ly
'efrwshments. Amendments to Navy hI
>ill still discussed and voted on. Some e3
nenbers, weary of the dry proceed- vi
ngs, retired to chat with lobby friends pi
md smoke segars. The falling of a n
ady's fan from the gallery, hitting an it!
ionorable below upon the head, but d<
iot seriously wounding him, excited sa
;ome little merriment. Just about p(
:his moment a burly old member came bi
nto the Iiall with a hunk of bread and tli
iam in his hands eating thereof pi
iiost heartily." tlI
Two hours later, he records: 1
"It was now half-past ten o'clock, tL
he number of spectators seening to
nerease rather than diminish, tihe ex- st
:itement all over the Hall continuing w
vithout abatenient." ri
Towards midnight, or later, says ti
he telegraph, it!
"Mr. Houston, the Chairman of ft
Ways and Means was, fromi the of- im
bets of excessive labor unable to cx- ci
lain the various amendments. The te
.lerks had become hoarse from con- l
inued reading. The sofas in the c(
obbies were now occupied by mem- tl
jers asleep, and only a few within
he bar seemed to be interested in the tl
lull proceedings of the Indian Appro- a
riation Bill."
At half-past three, the following cir- i
:urnslance occurred: tc
"A drunken man of genteel appear- tI
mnce was aroused from sleep in the pi
senate Chamber, and commenced bas- te
heming in a loud and boisterous man.. fe
ier, disturbing the proceedings of the at
senate. The oflicers were directed si
,o put him out-this was accomplish- tli
3d with great difliculty, and he was tl
omniitted to prison under the Capi
;o."1 so
_In the midst of such unusual seenm to
ns these, the most importnt nens ~e
ires were passed, and others. no less is
mnportant, rejected. Is it not shame- to
bal, that the afiuhirs of this great coun-. e:
ry should be tranated with such nt
mcadlong carelessness? If thie aflTirs of Ii'
he mocst insignificant private estab- hi
ishment were so managed, it would mi
iot merely bring down upon its pro- mi

, solen grandeur of the act and of

COTTON ITIARIET.
Charleston, March 20.
The demand for cotton on Saturday
was active fn'd animated at a slight ad
vance. We quote prices at from 8
10 3-4 eents.
Nzw Yotiz, March 18, 1853.
Cotton slightly improved in our
market to-day. Mliddling Uplands 10
1-4. - Orleans 10 5-8.
Tlie steamuer Oiiu has arrived from
California with *2,500,000 in gold.
NEw Oar.EANs, March 1S.-On Fri
day 9000 bales of cotton changed
hands. The sales during the week
comprised 58,000 bales. Prices are
firm. Middling is quoted at from 9
1-4 a 9 1-2. The stock on hand
amounts to .284,000 bales. The in
crease in the receipts at all the South
ern ports, up to the latest dates, as
compared with last year, is 550,000
bales.
IMore Incendiarisan.
On Sunday morning last, about
daylight, while Mr. A. A. SOLCMONS
was proceeding to the Depot of the
Wiinington and Manchester Railroad,
he discovered the Carriage Manufacto
ry and Warehouse, owned by Mr. No
All CRANE, in flames, the family were
immediately aroused, and the fire ex
tinguished, withont having done much
damage. We understand that a box
of matches, and some combustible ma
terials were found on the premises,
which had evidently been used in set
titig fire to the house; who the villian
is, or what his purpose can be, in thus
seeking to destroy the property of one
of our best and most unofending citi
zens, we cannot conjecture, but sim
eerely hope th.it stro00n g mii easure s nay
be used to discover him, and summary
punishment inflicted ; this is the third
attempt of the kind that has been made
in our town within a very short period.
Look out.

The special correspondent of the

that paper, says:
Mr. Bellbont, the Austrian Con.
sul of your city, is a candidate for
the Chargeship at Naples, and is
backed by many of the leading men
throughout the Union, but the indica
Lions are that the offiee is destined for
Governor Scyrmour, of Connecticut.
General Shields has been a candi
date for the oflice of Minister ' to
Spain, which he desired on account of
his health, but it is understood that
Senator Soule will receive the appoint
ment. Gen. Shields will probably get
some other foreign appointment.
Mr. Marshall, of California, has a
good chance of being appointed Com
missioneor to China.
Ex-Secretary Buchanan, for Eng.
land, and Hon. John a Dix, for France,
are still spoken of.
Thomas N. Carr, formerly, Consul at
Tangier, is a candidate- for 4 at con

To-day, in reply to a gentleman who
asked him how he liked the air of
Washington, Gen. Pierce said, "I
don't know, for I have not laid the op.
tunity of getting a breath of fresh
air; have not even time to shave,"
which was evident by looking at the
President's face.
At the cabinet councils held on Sat
urday evening and to-day, the Mos
quito affair was anxiously discussed. I
cann6t furnish you with the details, but
I have reason to believe there will be
no want of pluck. General Pierce
has declared that his administration
will, at all events, be an effective one.
The government received a telegraphie
message on Saturday from New Or
leans in reference to this aflir.

of Cuba by the United States, the Liv

'.The Cadets turned out onu thme occa.

marched to the Presbyvterian Churi eb.
wvhaere an Address was dlelivered by
thme llev. William Lewis, of Sumter.
The Orator laid do~wn, aus the founda
tion of his renmrks, the two priopo(si
tions, that intemiperancee is a v'ery bad
and a ver'y dangerous th inig; and that
temnperanice is aL ver'y good~ thing;r that
the former, "wvork's bad all arounid,"
and the latter "works good all arounid,"
all of which he succeeded in prov'ing
conclusively, we suppose, to thle mtind~s
of all present. In truth, they are bothI
very generally admiitted lhets, for' the
most aban :!oned inebrniate will acknmowl

published in the Darlington :Flag of
the 17th:
ExPERIMENT I st.-Made on land in
i high state of improvement froni for
iner manurings.
100 lbs. Guano per acre produced
1872 lbs seed cotton.
Hog pen manure produced 1768 lbs
seed cotton.
Difference in favor Guano 104 lbs.
Cost of 100 lbs Guano, $2,50.
Worth of 104 lbs cotton seed $2,60,
r equal to 104 per cent on cost of
Guano,.over Ilog pen manure, heavily
put on.
EXPERMENT 2nd.-On poorer land
100 lbs Guano per acre produced 988
lbs seed cotton without manure of any
kind 070 lbs seed cotton.
Difference in favor Guano 312 lbs
seed cotton, equal to 312 per cent on
-ost of Guano applied.
EXPERIMENT 3rd.-150 lbs Guano
per acre made 1508 lbs seed cotton,
bog pen manure 1352 lbs.
Difl'erence in favor Guano 156 lbs
equal to 104 per cent on cost Guano.
EXPERIMENT 4th.-150 lbs Guauo
per acre made 9 8 lbs, 200 lbs Guano
per acre made 962 lbs.
Difference in favor of 150 lbs Gnano
26 1bs.
This experiment was made on two
rows of each, instead of one as in the
other.cases, and it so happened that it
was where a fence had stood several
years and had been moved, which I
think is the cause of giving advantage
to the smaller quantity of Guano ap
plied.
EXPERIMENT 5th.-50 lbs Guano
per acre made 676 lbs, without ma
nure 598.
Difference in favor Guano 78 lbs,
equal to 150 per cent on cost of Guano.
ExIERIMENT 6th.--300 lbs Guano
per nere made 1313 lbs, without ma
nure 598 lbs.
DiTerence in favor Guano 715 lbs,
equal to 238 per cent on cosr of Guano.
THE BLUE RIDoE RAILRAD.-WC
are pleasaed to announce to our readers
that the Council this day subscribed
$500,000 to the Blue Ridge Railroad
Company, thereby securing the Charter
granted by the State for this great and
important enterprise. Their work is,
however only half accomplished, and
it ought not to be permitted to rest.
Mr. Gourdii's letter published yester
day, shows that a subscription of a like
sum to the road through Georgia is
absolutely necessary. Ilis views on
the subject are simple and clear, and
they Cdnniot fail to ha e t i nour
