Trade with South America. Auiong the beneficial results of the development of the uncqunled deep water harbor of Port lloyal, with lines of rail road connecting it by short routes with Ihe west, no item is of greater mo ment than the trade with South America, a fair share of which there is go d r.ason to believe would fall to us. The importance of an early effort to develop the exportation of our manufactures to Brazil and Mexico is impressing itself more ever}day upon the merchants of*our country. Mr. Randall, the ex-Speaker has written a letter to some leading citizens of Galveston, Texas, in reply to an invitation to visit them in which he points ont that, while the foreign trade of the countries lying south of the United States 011 this continent amounts to about $520,000,000, our share of it is only $112,000,000, 1 ~ ? 1 AAA AAA 1 ami or cms oniy cvji,uuu,uou is carrieu on under the American flag. What we need to mend matters is he says, 44 more favorable commercial relations and more comprehensive trade )nneetions with other nations" and he adds "that the policy of the Government should be to enlarge our trade relations with Mexico and with the Central and South American States." The difficulty which afflicts the trade of this country wit h South America is the oite which afflicts our trade with all foreign countries. We have so arranged our system of taxation that it costs us more to produce commodities than foreigners arc willing to pay for them, and consequently we have to pay for what they sell to us largely in gold, and they cannot afford to take gold. South America like other rational people, go to the market where they exchange their own goods to the best ad van tage for other people's goods. The latest attainable flgures, show thatwhile the United States sold to Mexico ami South American countries twentyeight millions of goods, France sold twice and England four times as much. And jet the United States, at the same time imported seventy-five millions of various goods frotn these countries. Mexico, Brazil and Chili need just what we want to sell. They have uo manufactures, but their tropical soil gives the husbandmen abundant returns. They bought in one year 475,000,000 yards of cotton cloths, of which England furnished fourteen-fifteenths, though from one to two thousand miles further away than the United States. And yet we sell cotton to advantage in Manchester; we send cotton to Manchester, 2,500 miles and let Manchester send cotton back to Brazil, 5,000 miles. A steamer leaves Liverpool almost daily for South American ports while one firm in New York and one in Boston run four steamers at irregular intervals. As the country becomes aroused to the necessity for more in^nate commercial relations with these countries, the advantages offered by Port Royal cannot fail to become apparent, and we have reason to believe that at no very distsyit day regular Hues of steamers will he plying between Port Royal and South Amcriean ports. Port Royal and the Anderson, Aiken and P. R. R. K. It is now five years since the Port Royal R. It. reached its Atlantic terminus and while much money has been expended upon it, for lack ot proper management it was two years ago placed in the hands ot a receiver, and Battery Po:nt having ob ained a charter as a city, is still but a village, and a location which ought under liberal management to contain four or fivo thousand inhabit ants, posseses only forty or fifty white electors and about the same number of colored. This surely shows very little progress in the internal improvement of the city, and is due to the prohibitory policy of the owner of the land, which has caused many to fail and has prevented the realization of much profit from business by any one, so much so as to make it appear probable that the whole place would have been deserted had not the U. S. fleet made their rendezvous in Port Royal Harbor. Let us consider the financial disbursements made by the owners of the Port Royal R. R. taruiinus. There was the purchase of about 000 acres of land which vuith the cost of survey may be placed at $10,000. For the building of the road, < under the control of the owners of this land, there were $2,500,000 worth of bonds issued for work which could now be done for less than $1,500,000. L'-t us see from the best authority we can get how lmich of the $2;500,000 Is controlled by the owners of Port Royal City-Foreign capitalists represented by Marx & Co., of New York $1,500,000;bonds endorsed by the Georgia R R. j $500,000;-coutrol!ed by II. LI. Boody. | over $100,000{-King Finney Sc Co. j $200,000;-balance unaccounted for and ' supposed to-be owned by Appleton & Co. $200*0t)t>.. Now it is true, that, should the rail roa l be sold at auction, as it must be soouer or later, not tuo;e ^ tlian thirty cents on tlie dollar will be, -,e t \ onnp in or,* t ho foreign bond holders \vi i l?o th?? heaviest losers hy flic transaction, Rut the owner, of Port IJoya! will fail to realize his anticipated ii;ilii'Oisa?i l wiii h ivo no one to ? ?:??n?bui It iiu.se *i and !i; policy which stilh-? improvements at Port Royal to the irreat detriment of those who have already settled there and who are now interested more virallv in the increase of business saved me city ironi me iuuu years ngu. The try that the disaffected were rising in other parts of the country, was made the occasion for a crusade by the rabble against the Chinese. The Jato insurree tion, though incited by lailroad employees was every where an insurrection of the disorderly masses against law and order. S. J. Lee was before the investigating committee last Thursday in the capacity of a witness. lie pn bably followed Moses example in implicating others, as his evidence is said to have been of the uiost satisfactory nature. At the conclusion of his examination the Commission adjourned to take a respite from their labors for several days. Other transactions, involving the alteration of warrants were brought to light. The wooden partitions erected in a number of Senate aud House committee rooms, worth apparently about $25, were filed at $50, and the warrants for that amount raised in each instance to $650. and audited and approved in that form by a com mi tee of wh'eh Nash was the chairman. The Pcrtc has issued a circular recounting the various horrible massacres which, it alleges, have been perpe'rated by the Cossacks on the Bulgarians. These include the burning alive of seventy Mussulmans of the village of Ayuklemi, and the cold-blooded massacre of forty others, as well as of women and children. The circular declares that the English mi i'ary attaches have[ascertained the truth of the foregoing. Judge Reed has issued an order of interest to many of our citizens who, at the last two terms of court, purchased Jurors pay .certificates at prices ranging from 17 to 40 cents on the dollar. The Judge orders that "the County Commissioners, upon being satisfied by the oath or affirmation of the parties respectively that the said certificates are presented by the payees in their own right, do proceed to audit and allow the same; but if presented by an assignee or purchaser, that they audit and allow the same for such sum'and no more, as was paid for them, to be ascertained by the oath of the party. This order is designed to apply to all similar eases, will be filed by the clerk, and a copy of the some served on the County Commissioners, who are required to pay the cost of the rule." Col. Dudley announces his intention to retire from the control of the Marlboro' Planter on the 1st of September and he is now engagacd in writing his obituary. We regret the necessity which compel the Colonel to desert the ranks out he will ever be remembered as the only Original Editor, and the man who. as he says, went into the business "for fun." ' The publication of the acts passed at the last . session of the General Assembly, have been completed by Calvo & PuttoL State Printers, and will shortly be delivered to the Secretary of State for distribution to the various County officers as required by law. The acts are neatly printed in pamphlet form and systematically arranged for easy reference. The index and marginal references arc the work of a lady clerk in the office of the Secretary of State. The Southern route to the Pacific, says an exchange, posscscs the advantages ot being that upon which a rail road may be constructed at the smallest cost, and may be operated .without hinleranee from snow or .frost, while it excels all oth v* i:i the variety and abundance of natural lesouives, and the number of the population of its contiguous region--. We think than tlic land owner who is a wealthy j and successful manufacturer who bides , his time while the pioneers of the city arc compelled to fight for existence under the greatest difficulties. By the building of the Anderson, Aiken and lWt Royal 11. 11. and its connections to a deep water terminus on t lie westcstcrn shore of i^t. Helena Island it will be advisable to run into Beaufort, where lots can be obtained at less than half the price asked at Port Royal. Besides the advantage in population, Beaufort has as good a water frontage, is far superior in respect to health and possc> sos every facility for shipping, has hotel accommodations widely known as equal to any in the South and with a rail road extending along her docks the town should enter upon that course of successful development to which her geographical position entitles her and which other circumstances seems to favor.

This leaves two hundred and sixty thousand Russian troops yet available for immediate service. It would not be surprising then if it turns out that t he disaster at Plevna was only a check in his advance, which may furnish sufficient experience too make the next movement of the Czar a success. #! That the strike of railroad men for higher wages was used merely as a pretext for the riotous proceedings that have spread over the country is shown by what occurred at San Francisco. There were no railroad men there to make a disturbance, and yet the scenes in that city were among the most riotous that occurred. Th. y were suppressed only by calling out the ancient corps of vigilants who i 1 O a! L now is the opportune time to complete this great enterprise.

Mr. Editor: ( Over thuco quarters of a century ago, : a very rich, oM and childless lady, by the ! name of Mrs. Prescott, lived near Pocotaligo. Previous to her death she made a will in which, after giving AB, CD, F (r, and others so many thousand dollars, she left the residue of her estate to the l#oor of Prince Williams Parish. The j residue amounted to forty thousand dol- i lars. William Martin Esq. was appoiu- 1 ted Trustee of the Fund. The money was put out on interest, and Mi. Martin j acted as Trustee up to the time of his j death. Col. W. F. Ilntson was then j appointed, and still acts as Trustee of the j Fund. Since the war he resides in Orangeburg, and Mr. C. J. C. Mutson at j Yeiuassec, acts as his agent. The iutcr- j est of the Fund used to be given to the | poor of the Parish. Five commissioners, were elected every two years, whose duty it was to find out the real poor, who were entitled to share In the legacy and how much each pauper should ( receive. Of course there were always, (IIC IIMYU Ul 1'lltl ICIIUUl^ Hllbl t? unv>. defense by the garrison. Among the prisoncrs-of-war was a Li von in 11 peasant girl, 17 years old, graceful rather than pretty. She was weeping bitterly, for the soldier, whom she had married only the day before, had perished in the battle. This young girl became the Euiprc-sof Bussia. She could neither read nor write, but her temper was so smooth that she could control the most ungovernable ruler, even in those bursts of passion which made him almost a madman. She followed him to his camp, and shared with hiiu the dangers of war. When his army was starving on the banks of the Pru th and disaster was staringhim in the face she brought salvation to the camp by bribing the Turkish commander with her jewels. Not long afterwards the Emperor went to Berlin accompanied by his peasant wife, and the ladies of the Prussian Court said that her clothes were so bedecked with silver tinsel that she must have bought them in a doll-shop. She wore few jewels, but was decorated with portraits of saints and relics, which made a great *~UAr when she walked. UA nainted **; . *, pious but coarse," was the vcr-j die': ./the princess. But the Czar was ' "' .shamed of her. She had saved his exip. At the session of the South Carolina Legislature, in 1841, the members were perplexed for a suitable man to elect governor. The difficulty did not arise from any scarcity of candidates, for then, as now, men were ambitious, but from a want of the right sort of man. The matter became worse as the time wore on and the election of some objectionable candidate seemed inevitable. One day, however, as several of them were con versing upon the matter, Judge O'Nci', then a young man, and present by invito tion, said, "Gentlemen, why not elect General David It. Williams?' ' "Da-i vid R. Williams he's our man-he's the man ! '' they all exclaimed, as they be- | gan to scatter to tell the news. The day ' of election came on and General Williams , was elected by a large vote. A messenger vas at once dispatched with a carefully prepar:d letter to inform the general of his election, requesting his acceptance, and hoping he would name the day on which he would take a large number of applicants: Some j very old, soiuc blind, some deaf, some maimed <fcc. Some of these paupers, would receive annually five dollars some tc~!, and others as much as one hundred dollars. Occasionally, some of thi interest, would be left, which was appropriate! to schools in different parts of the Parish. Competent teachers were employed, and the poor children received the benefits of the money, in different sections of the Parish. Since the war, I am told that a part of" the Fund, has been lost. The Trustee has, however, managed to save enough, of the Fund for the interest to anioun to six huudred dollars per annum. This amount, is appropriated, to two schools: One at Whippy Swamp X Roads, and the other in the neighborhood of Early Branch. The school at Whippy Swamp, located under the supcrintcndance of a committee of three gentlemen namel}', W. J. Gooding, Dr. B. F. Wyman and Henry Goethe. Theselschools'wcre taught last ,inrt nro (rniny to once this vear at J?u,l " o o -- - ? the same places. Now Mr. Editor is this fair ? Is this justice ? The people who live in these two localities, are fortunate, and their children will get the benefits of the Fund, while the balance of the Parish are forever excluded from a dollar. At Varnesville there are over fifty quite poor children, who (under the j system ) will never get the bonjfit of a . cent of this Fund. There arcj other places in the Parish, for instance. J Hoovcrs's and Branson where there are I a great many poor children, equally ; entitled to share in this Fund. There is I another very important question as re j gards Mrs Prescott's Will. Did >he I intend that the money should be appro- j priated forjthe relief of the old and help- ! !css,"( as it used to be ) or did she intend 1 the . money to be used for the education of a part of the children of the Parish ? Hoover's S. C., August 1, 1877. E. The announcement that the Czar is to cross the Danube, and that the Empres is to join !iiui at Tarnova, the ancient capital of Bulgaria, brings to mind one of the most romantic incidents in the career of the Romanoffs. During one of his campaigns against Charles XII. the soldiers of Peter the Great captured X ~c ilftnp O lillrtrt the oath of oftice. After a long ride, the 1 messenger stopped at the general's! residence, in Marlboro district, we believe, ; and in<|>iir< d if he ;va? in.

Much appro- 1 hension is still felt by the inhabitants, who arc sparsely spread over the territory. At a fire which burned Festering's ci- : gar box manufactory in Cincinnati, where twenty-two girls were working in the up per story, four of them certainly, and it is feared as many more perished in the fl.nncs.

Walworth, who killed his father in real oi imaginary defense of his mother. The pardon isaecompanicd by a lor g review of the*case, in which he says that tbcyounr man was not morally responsible for the act. The man has been found who could do all the business be wanted without advertising, and has been compelled to advertise at last. lie lives in Florida, and his advertisement is headed "Sheriff s Sale.'' During the year just closed the United States sold 10.),000,OX) yards of cotton goods abroad, ten times more than wasexported the year before. The sale is being rapidly extended to every quarter of the globe where humanity wears anything better than unadorned loveliness. Gen. Toombs introduueed a resolution in the Georgia Constituiional Convention to repeal the prohibition against duelling, but it was lost by a vote of 119 to 38. The movement for Liberian emigration in South Carolin.f recalls to the New Orleans Picayune the history of a similar j movement in Louisiana just after the war. ( A number of families crossed the ocean, but they found Liberia anything but El Dorado, and were soon sending urgent appeals to their white friends home to assist thcui to return, as they did.
