the European scene of tlie war. There
has been .1 frightful loss of life on both
sides the Russians suffering most severely.
According to Russian reports received
to Friday, 239 wounded officers and
9,482 men have passed through the
hospitals since September 7. The number
of killed is about 3,000. The total
lost is about 300 officers and 12,500.

The Chinese, the carpet-1 a ;gers who 1
have invaded California, are to be ex- 1
terminated if the working men of the
Pacific coast are able to do it. Meetings 1
have been held by the unemployed laborers
who ascribe their lack of employment
to the Mongolian and the sooner *
the two races settle the dispute the
better for the progress of civilization in
the West. The Chinese companies in
San Francisco, under whose protection
most of the Chinese have been imported,
have written home advising no more
emigration lor the present, as they dont
feel satisfied of the safety of the pig tails
while so many white men are idle for

The New York Hen Id has received a
dispatch from its African explorer and
correspondent, Henry M. Stanley. He
had reached the western coast of Africa,
having had a fearful journey, enduring
great privations, fighting his way
through and losing a large number of his
men, He has solved one of the African
problems, having proved by actual exploration
that the Lualaba river and the
Congo are identical. His journey
through Africa was o e of the* most
]>erilous and heroic on record. The last
of his white assistants, Francis
Pocoek. an Englishman, was swept over
the falls of the Massassa on the 3d of
June last. His faithful companion,
Kalulu, was also lost.
The political campaign iu Ohio is a
puzzle this year. According to all accounts
there is au unusual apathy among
the voters of both the old parties, and
there is no enthusiasm for the candidates
upon either State ticket. The workingmen's
movement, which at one time
? r\r\c-'.fvrrr* l*Ari>n in tkn I
pnjUUSCU IV krj u mivu vaiv/
canvass, has already split into two opposing
factions, and thus far it is impossible
to form an estimate asj to how the
new issues that have arisen since the last 1
election may change the relative strength 1
of parties, when Hayes had a majority of '
7516 in a total vote of65S,649. At pros- '
ent the main interest in the canvass
centres upon the possession of the Legislature,
for upon it will devolve the duty '
of electing a United States Senator for '
six years in place of Stanley Matthews, i
whose term will expire in 1879. In Mas- i
sachusetts the canvass is without any 1
enthusiasm and the prospect is that a 1
very light vote will be cast. I
i
Unless the French character has great- (
changed within^thc las' five years, there ,
will be a violent explosion in France ere (
long, in consequence of the course of the j
government. .President MacMahon is .
establishing the reign of despotism with- j
a high hand. Gambetta has had a star j
chamber trial, and for allowing the |
printing of his speech, which was char ,
acterized by great moderation and by ,
true patriotism, he was convicted in his j
turn vviiuvuiuv/u vu imvv j
months imprisonment and to pay a fine (
of two thousand francs. He has appeal- |
el, but is threatened now with j
disfranchisement of all the rights of ,
citizen-hip for five years. This is intcn- ,
ded to prevent his taking any part in .
public affairs. The Kepublicans in j
France, with Gambetta at their head, (
have borne themselves with moderation ^
in these trying circumstances, and should ,
they succeed in electing an increased ,
majority of Deputies, will be able .to
thwart the designs of the Imperialists,
for the present at least. But even .
in France, should despotism triumph, it
can be but for a short time. It is too late ,
in the day.
Our Advantages for Truck Farming*. 1
<
Now that South Carolina can no longer 1
. '
-,v be called the prostrate state, and taxation
has been brought dowu to an equitable '
basis, it would seeui to be a favoiablc ;!
time to call the attention of our Northern
friends to the advantages offered settlers I
nt this pointy particularly to such as pro !
pose to give their attention to the j'
cultivation of fruits and vegetables.
The fact is that the territory lying ; 1
about and around Port Koyal Ilarbor has j *
no rival in the Uiiitad tatcs, and never ! 1
can have, considered as a shipping ix>rt ! (
. . to New York and other northern cities; j '
and undoubtedly the further lapse qf a!(
few j*ears will bring the cities of the
northeast aluiOst at our doors by the com- j '
. pietion of an air line trunk railroad, j{
having Port Poyal as it objective Allan- j '
tic terminus. ! We
propose to point out some of the | 1
advantages offered to such parties as J ;
may decide to locate in this vicinity, with '
the above mentioned objects in view. 1

sight that our geographical position
s^reatly in our favor as computed with
trorc*southern points. Perishable nier handize
leaving here hy steamer will,
incidents excepted, be placed upon the j
New fork market safely and regularly j
>n the fourth day after the day of ship- :
incut. Compare this with the five, six i
>r seven days of transportation inseparable j
from all Florida produce and it appears i
that the average condition of such si ij.ments
hence wiii be found much superior
an delivery. This is the vital point,
?ince want of good condition is fatal
to values.
In addition to steamer facilities wc
have daily rail communication with the
interior, and it only needs that a speedy
system of.transportation for pciishable
stuff by mail and passenger trains be
organ1 zed on a reasonable scale of charges
to give producers an ample outlet in all
directions.
Another advantage is that the season
here, in consequence of the modifying
influence of the immense bodies of saltwater
interlacing these islands in all
directions, is some two weeks earlier than
that at Charleston; and for this reason
early produce from this point will always
command the cream of prices for 8. C.
products. Possibly some persons wili
doubt the correctness of this statement,
but it will only be necessary to remind
such that the orange tree under proper
cultivation thrives wonderfully hereabouts,
and will unquestionably soon be
made a leading object of cultivation.
The saltncss of the air. and the constant
absorption of cold by the creeks, inlets,
bays and entrances whenever Jack Frost
descends upon us, olfers the only explanation
of our exceptional Sea Island
climate.
Further advantages are to be found
in the superior postal and telegraphic
facilities enjoyed at this point: in the
cheap method of transportation by water
replacing as it docs that by carts joltiug
over "ough j-nd dusty roads; and in the
certainty that, whatever may betide
other localities, a great and ccrtaiu future
awaits those who at this early day

The reception of the President and his
party by the Governor of Georgia was
one of the most hearty and enthusiastic
extended to Mr. ILiyes on his late remaarltble
trip through the South. Gov.
Colquitt's speech of welcome was received
with great applause by the larsrceoncoursr
gathered to do htmor to the President.
The Governor said :
"Mr. President?In behalf of the peo
pie of Georgia I bid you and your companions,
the gentlemen and ladies
present, a cordial welcome. "We arc in
the habit of opening our hearts and our
gates to strangers who may come among
us from beyoud our borders, and to us
the virtue of hospitality is its own exreeding
great reward. Under any
circumstances, the hospitality, of which,
we trust Georgians may justly boast*
would make the President of the United
States cordially welcome upon our soil.
But you, sir, come into our midst not a\
President only. The great interest.over
which you preside, the stupendouspower
which you wield as a Chief Mag
istrare, the dignity with which your
name is invested by tliut power-thcsc are
jot the soie ideas which move us in this
greeting to-day. But most prominent
in our minds, higher, greater than every
>thcr distinction, is the character which
;ou illustrate, as tlie peace-maker be:ween
brethcrn estranged. It is enough
:o fi'l the measure of the loftiest
imbition to remove fear and suspense
from the hearts of twelve millions ol
people, your fellow-citizens, and restore
to thorn a sen ? O'" repose and security
mder your administration. If the
genius which brought together forty
Millions of people in a fearful and unhappy
conflict excited the attention of
he whole world, the moral purpose, the
Inn will of the fortunate magistrate who
is first to control and calm the spiiit
which raised this mighty conflict, will
it'met the admiration an 1 plaudits of
ill men, wherever goo I will among men
is known. IIow strange, how passing
strange, that men, brethren of the same
political heritage, can differ or doubt as
:o the beneficent effect of so holy an
undertaking. We invite you Mr. Prcsi
lent, to the closest scrutiny. We arc
no\ mistaken, we do not deceive ourselves
md we don't intend to deceive other.-.
W hen we say we are for peace and union
we mean good government?we mean to
give a helping hand to any and to all
who shall aid in the establishment of
joniitutioual government and in the res
toration of fraternity between the States.
The great moving cause of tjiese hearty
Ieuionstrations which have greeted you
since you reached Southern soil is to be
found in the generous confidence with
which you believe what we say, and
rotir magnanimous trust which will not
xa't cringing and servile guarantees.
Differ though we may in party, without,
ihinking of the complications of the past j
>r caring for them, we can a-sure you of
the sympathy and support of this goo i
)ld commonwealth in your every effort
to restore peace and - good will between j
citizens, people and States.
"Again, sir, let me assure vou of the j
iov which your presence here gives us, and
utr urgent desire to make your visit and
that of your companions pleasant while
rou stay with us. In this spirit, and in
the name of the people, I welcome you
\nd your noble wife, and these gentle
l?id?cs and honored gentlemen to the hos- I
pitality of the people of Georgia. '

SOLOMONS HANK.
A en*re?pondent of the Cincinnati En- j
quiver furnishes some more facts regard-'
ing the actions of the Columbia ring and i
how Hardy Solomon was made use ofj
during the campaign of 1S74. Tlio cor- ;
respondent says of Mr. Chamberlain:
"Patterson knows enough of Chamber- j
Iain's exploits as Attorney-General to ;
hang him. At that time Patterson was1
working to secure for Chamberlain the!
nomination for ( Governor, and, when the j
Convention met to make the nomination !
he was the lobbyist. Every vote given i
in that Convention for Chamberlain was J
paid fi>r-in one ease as high as $500 be- I
ing paid for one vote. Patterson told !
me this himself. The funds were supplied
by Hardy Solomon, the banker of
the party, whose bank was to become
the depository of the State funds.
After Chamberlain became Governor
more money was wanted, and Hardy did
not have it. He had a small fund of
?200,000 wherewith to pay the interest
on the public debt, but this lie could not
touch. Finally, however, he allowed
himself to bo persuaded upon the
guarantee of Chamberlain and Cardozo,
and as the campaign became hot, dollar
by dollar it was drawn on the checks of
Cardozo the Treasurer. Here Hardy
made a second mistake; he entered these
checks as cash, not as the representatives
of it. When the taxes came in, however,
Cardozo did not pay tliom over, ana tnc
day approached when the interest had
to be paid. In vain Solomon appealed
to Chamberlain and Cardozo. Then
he got mad, and there was a little faceslapping
between Cardozo and Solomon,
but just the i Chamberlain wants some
securities for 840,000 or 850,000 which
he had given to Solomon. In fact, the
securities were in the wrong place, as
Puffer of the State Bank knew. Hardy,
however, says: "Ihavc no! got them;
i hey are in Charleston as collateral for
the money I borrowed for you, and I
cannot get theui."
The Financial Board mot Chamberlain,
tire Comptroller Gen. Dunn, and the
Treasurer, Cardozo. The little matter
was reconciled and the Treasurer directed
to increase the amount of the State
? - ? i i .i ji.i
deposits by a iew nunurea inousana uoilars.
This done, the securities were
restored to the proper place, and tlien
the bank suspended, costing tire State
| about half of the increased amount of
deposit, about ?100,000. Dunn, it must,
however, be said, was unaware of the
by-play which led to this step. He sup'
loosed the bank solvent-, as did almost
every one except Chamberlain and Car
dozo. The teason why Patterson does
not like Chamberlain is that he found
out that the latter proposed to take lib
scat in the Senate; so he went to work
to stir up a hornet's ncit around Chamberlain.
In this he succeeded, and
Chamberlain saw that his only chance 1 i.v
with the Democratic party. lie commenced
to wheedle tjiem. They foil into
the trap and Chamberlain l>egan to feel
eminently respectable. Tlic Lcgi.Jature
met in December, 1875, and showed the
Conservatives that Chamberlain had no
-strength, and to punish him they cleete i
Whipper and Moses as Judges. To prevent
this Chamberlain had been re-enforced
by Mayor Cunningham of Charleston
and a ten thousand dollar express
package, but it was of no avail. The
Mayor took his money homo with him.
Chambcrlain*callcd on the Democrats to
rally to him. As soon as ho fv.tn I that
they did not rally much lie jumped hack
again where Wade Hampton found
him."
There is said to he but one purely American
mercantile firm in Valparaiso, most
ot the foreign merchants being English
French and German. France sends bouts
and shoes, hats, furniture, ready-made
clothing, jewelry and fancy articles. England
sends machinery, agricultural implements,
provisions and dry goods. Cargoes
of beef and pork, which have been
sent from the United States to England,
have often been rcshipped to Valparaiso.
A few domestic goods from Lowell have
been lately introduced and well received.
With the exception of railroad rolling
stock, American machinery is comparatively
unknown. The Philadelphia and
Heading llailroad has sent a few cargoes
of anthracite coal at a satisfactory profit.
It is found much more desirable both for
cooking and heating than the inferior bituminous
coal mined in Chili.
If the United States were to have a reciprocal
treaty with Chili similar to
those with Canada and the Sandwich
islands, a powerful impetus would
be given to Trade with that and other
South American States, and an opportu.
nity for a speed}' development of the immense
resources of our Port RByal harbor
would be presented.
A train on the Illinois Central Railroad
near Sandoval was thrown from the track
at 3 o'clock Tuesday morning, killing 7
passengers and injuring a number of
others. Masked men were seen by the
passengers irom the car windows as the
moon was shining bright, but after the
accident they wee not to be seen. It was
smmosed (hat thev intended to plunder
and rob tlic passengers, butj were frightened
away.

The loss of the Russian and Roumanian
armies in the engagements at Plevna

and before sunrise, contrary to the
