[PRer{ield's I,Cller to Ciltinn i Comnamercld.] CoLUMB3A, S. C., October 30.-Tho more I see of the conditions of affairs here the more am I convinc ed of the utter hopelessnoss of the attompt of the Republicans to do Anything as a pI.rty. Thoy liad as well disband at once, make ternis to the enemy and bow to the in avitable. The record of the party is such, and the bitterness of the whites so great, that nothing bear ing the Republican name can sur vive locally in power here. Under our form of governnent there is absolutely no remedy for this, no way to provent a powerful and ombittered minority from over coming a weak and dofenceless ma joriy. South Carolina is lost to the Republicans, and will hereaftor be as Democratic as Georgia. I asked the postmaster here, an inteliigent colored man, if he also thought the case entirely hopeless. He said he did, The Republican party was departing this life in South Carolina about as fast as any thing he knew of. If it was lawful and possible to station tho whole United States army in the State, with a detachimlent in each district, the party might be saved tio long as the army remained, but, the mIo ment the army was withdrawn, down would come the whole fabria. It can't st-id alone any more than An eipty bag in a heavy wind. If there was no other objections, (and there are many,) a Democratic Congress hlats forbidden the use of the army for such iiprses, and the Federal prosecutions under a rection of the Itevised Statutes don't amount to a row of pins. So there is no way but to fold our arms under the Constitution and see the lUepublican Party in 01th Carolina ground into the sand. But it's an ill wind that blows no good. With the end of the party here will end the race antagonism, the riots, the outrages, and thA massaares, These have long since 6esed in Georgia, and in every other South ern State where the Republican party has not vexed the w1hite peo ple by existing. The hopeless and helpless condition of the blacks here is fast dawning upon them, and they are bowing to the inevitable. Hence the formation of Democratic clubs among them, and their 44cheers" for the Democratic apeak era. But these cheers come only from the throat, In his heart the darkey wislies the grand old Demo cratic party in perdition, The North, whence they looked for sup. port, has abandoned them, State after State has wheeled into the Democratic column, and they sub mit, as thley suibnitted in slavery, * because it is their nature. Indeed, * if I was a South Carolina negro, owning no property but seven children and two dogs, (whieh~ is about the average,) and working for ten dollars a month, I don't believe I would risk my life and alienate my white neighbors in an efrort to keep John Patterson in the United States Senate, The very presence of Patterson in official position has caused many a poor darkey to suffer. When the whites look at this man tihey feel like killing six iiggers. Nothing less will afford an escape-valve for their pent-up feelings. VALUE OF SMhILEs.--sOmne people go through life with a frown, or a scowl, or a gloom in their counten ance. Tile very sight of them is chilling and repulsive. Others wear a cheerful expression, and thus lighten and bless all around them. Tile value of a smile Is beyond estimate. It coats thle giver noth, ing, but ia beyond price to the erring and repenting, thle sad and cheerless, the lost and forsaken; It disarms malice, subdues temper, turns hatred to love, revenge to kindness, and paves the darkest paths with gems of sunlight, "Johnny," said a sporting Third ward father, "Johnny, what have you got* in your flat ?" "Two pears," said Johnn~y, 'Gebd hand," said the absent minded father, "take the pot"-w. Then~ .he blushed, uu pointing to: a'bramikettle, lie added, *to yota' mot@eir~ TIE ROTJIiMILP V"AT RA U, A Dazzling Collection of the Splendid and the Beautiful. With princely liberality Biron Rothschild admits any one to his Fairyland who takes the troublo to write for permission, and however much we may have boon thinking of Haroun al Raschid, King Solomon and the Thousand and Ono Nights beforehand, we shall not be disap pointed, Quitting tho railway at the cheerful little town of Langley, we drive past handsome couintry houses and well-kopt flower gardons, and thon gradiually ascend a road' winding amid hill and v dily up to the chateau, a graceful structure in white marble, or so it seems, proud ly commanding the wido landscap,e. The flower gardens are ablazo of colors, and the orange trees give delicious fragrance as we ascend the terrace ; ascend, indeed, being hardly the word applicable to steps! sloping so easily upward, and so nicely adjusted to the human foot, that climbing Mount Blanc, under the samo circumstances, could be accolnpliRhed without fatigue, 1L is impossible to give any idoa of the different kinds of mnagnificence that greet us on every side. Now a little; Watteau world in tapestries, having for background sky-bluo satin and rose ; now a dining hall, sombre, gorgeous and majostic as that of a Spanish palaeo ; now we aro traus ported to Persia, China and Japan ; next wG find ourselves amid un speakable treasures of Italian and other marblos. To come down to practical details, it might be sug gested to the generous owner of this noblu treasuio o6use of art that the briefest possible catalogue of hi., choicest treasures would unspeaka bly oblige his visitors, Thore is, hardly a piece of furniture that is not interesting, alike from a historic and artistic point of view, while some; are chefs dxuvre both in design and execution, and duz.; zlingly rich in materials. Among those ma1:1y be mentioned a pair of chimney ornaments thickly hutng with pendants of proeious stones a piano -- which belonged to MA.rio Antoinette-the caso of which is formed of tortoiso-shell richly deco rated with gold ; a cabinot set wih emeralds, sapphires, and other jow els ; another composed of various precious stones ; ehairs and couches covered with exquisite tapestry of: the Louis Quinze period ; some rare specimens of old cloisonnne woic, also of F lorintine mosaics-these forming a stuall part of this nig nificont museum, 11 1 The striking feature is the great (uantity and variety of rich narb es in every part, One of the staircases is en. tirely formed of difoerent kinds of rare marble, the effect being extra ordinarily imposing. Elsewhere a! room is divided by Corinthian col umns of jasper and porphyry, and on every side is displayed a wealth and splendor in this respect quito unique. Without doubt, nothing lends such magnificence to interiors as marbleP, but they require the spaciousness and princoiiiness of nuha chateau as this to be dis played to advantage. Next in imn portance, as a matter of mere deco ration, must be cited the tapestries, of which there is a rare and valuable collection, chiefly in the hall, so called, and where they are arranged about the running gallery surround-. ing the pictures. What this hall mu tst be worth would . perhaps sound fabulous on paper ; it is here that some of the most precious. cabinets are found ; treasures of ivory, ebony, gems, gold and silver;. and tile pictures alone represent a princess' dowry. Examples of some of tile great masters are here-Val-' esquez, Rembrandt, Eubons, Claude Loriaino. Bordone, Reynolds ; last-. ly, among moderns, Ingres and Hyppolyte Fiandrin. Much might be said about the pictures if space pormittedl, but they alone are worth making tile journey from Paris to see.-Frazer's Magazine. TunE DEAooNsRAYER,-A good story is told of a deacon in Tennes,. see, who was in the habit of riding a bucking mule-that is, a mule that can make a camel's back of its straight one, and, by a spasmodic moveinent of its four legs and hump, discharge its rider like a cannon ball, The other day they came to the edge of the worst mud hole in the State, and the mule gave un mistakable indications of bucking, The good deacon knew that lie was about to be thrown, and his mind skurried about for a prayer. His table grace came pasiest: "Lord,, for whai we are abot~ to rieceive Imnrie,tdumbly grateful," he ex el1atui,da'nd the mule . bucked and ha-was in. TJ4r.rY 4. T, arXWP4l, Nrw YoRK, N ovember 7.-Judge Hilton rushed into the police head.. quarters this morning greatly oxeitod, and hold a aonsultation with Inspector Dilkes. 11o stated that tho body of A. T. Stewart was missing from the family vault in St. Mark's churebyard, at the corner of Stuyvesait Place and S0cond ave nue. The vault, ho said, had been broken open. The casket was found in the vault, but the body was miss ing. Inspector Dilkes at onco mont out the following general ordor to all the precinctj: "The rrcm.ins of A. T. Stowart were last night stolen from the family vault in St. Mark's churchyard. The casket was found brokon open and the body removed. The decomposition of the remains is so offensive that they cannot bo concealed. This is apparent from standing at the opening of the vault this mom ning, consequently it cannot bo taken across the forrios without discovery. Causo diligent search to be madio in your prohinct, as the remains havo evidently boon stolen in hopes of roward." RESPONSIBILITY OF CONFEDERATE OF FICERS.-In the Supreme Court of the United St-ttos last Alonday the following important decision was rendered. We copy from 'ho NVational Republican : Ford vs. Surgot. In errror to the Supreme Court of Mississippi. In this case it is hold that the de struction of cotton by officers of the Confederate army, in obodionce to rebel military or(derA, was such an act of war on the part of the military forces of the rebeLion as would re lieve the persons executing the order from civil responsibility of the suit, at least of any owner at the time vomuntarily residing within the lines of the insurrection. But this conclusion is not based upon any authwrity conferred by the acts of the Confederate Congress, for it is said they could give no warrant whatever. It rests upon the bellig.. erent, riglits conceded to the Con federate army, such concession plac ing the so:diers aid officers -of that arny, as to all matters directly con nected with the modes of proecuting war, "oi the footing of those e1 gaged in lawfui war." A LEVEL-HEADED TAXPAYER,-Ono day last Week while the County Trea,surer's ofilco ,was crowded wi taxpayers, anxious to avoid the penalty, an old gray.haired, digni fied gentleman, his face beaming witl good hum11ol1, stepped up near the count t nd courteouisly rids ing his hat said, ' Gentlemen, bare is a sick lady, sihe is twenty miles from homle, she feels very badly and I reqnest that y.u will all give way and let her payl her taxes. I am willing to give way to accommodate her, If she is compelled to stay here much longer I dread the re aults." Every man in the room, with the politeness characteristic of Aiken count- mon. immenditely withdraw in her f.avor, The lady came up and paid the taxes for the gentle man who had been so uneasy about her condition. She was his wife ! A iAen Revic,o. Tus CA, RE OF DEL.nmIRM TREMENS. --Dr. B3. WV. Richardson, of London says that delirium tremnn is always produced by fusol oil and never by pure ethylic alcohol, also, that all persons who have been long addic ted to the ue of wine or spirits, even in alight exesse, suf-. for habitually from dyspepsia. Next after organic diease of the stomacb cirrhosis of the liver is tlie most common consequence of bard drink. ing. A distinct form of consump tion. non~hereditary, is also a frequent result. Dr. Richardson thinks there would be no more Bright's diseasa if the use of alcohol were discontilnued, AR lRNGLIsir OFIcER's TTOUDLES. An English offlcer, sent on a special mission by .the War, 0O110, included in his,aecounts an item of one shill ing for "porter," The War Ofle sent him a foi'midable letter by re turn of post to inform him that the gover~nent did not pay for his beer, Ue explained that th ehil.. ing was for the man.who carried ii. luggige, and then received anotber note advising him tli4 he' phu4 have charged fol"por torage."

Oarnot jewolry is again going to brighton up the toilets of our fash fonable ladius. Silks come in all the bronze and gold shades, and are used for. tritming3, though a few suits are made up with volvet. The rough, knobby goods, all wool, called bourettes, will bo more worn than over this winter. They are trimmed with silk and fringe, Dressy fans, made of feathers, are filled in with little butterfly bows, either of white or some deli. cato color, instead of flowers, as hoietofore. "Pokin" Is a generic name given to all striped goods, whether of silk, satin or velvet, and it is much sseen in doscriptions of French cos. tumos at present. Sealskin will be much worn this winter; it is somewhat icarcer, and correspondingly high in price this year, Sacques are worn thirty eight to forty inches long. Largo cable cords of gold are seen on the odges of felt bonnets; this cord is as large round as the little finger, and is set on the edge, and another row is set a little furthor back, A favorito design for gold jewelry for ear-rings, the clasp of bracelots or ends of pins, is the head of the Assyrian rain, with curled horns, familiar to us in the old bos8 relieft, from Nineyoh. Basques are to continue in vogue -a pleasing bit of intelligenco for those who have last year's garments on hand, They are a trifle shorter in front, and arp quite elaborately trimmed, In new fringes there is a great variety for those who &re inclined to pay their money and take their choice, but the prettiest is that called Ohay fringe," pretty because it is so unnatural. Long gray circles are fashionable again. Some are made with re versible sides, and are of heavy felt, These are trimmed with fringe, and can ba had with, or withott the dolman sleeves, Winter bonnets, as far a can be judged feom the few important ones shown, difrer in general shape and style from those of last year, The trimming may be somewhat changed, but generally the feninino helmet is the same, A Danbury boy asked his father, the other day. what was a philoso-. phor. "A philosopher, my son ? Why, a plilomopher is a man who reneons,' "Is that so ?" said the boy, dejeetedly, "I thought i4 was a man who didn't lot things bother him."
