' Our merchants generally are receiving large | stocks, and are prepared to satisfy all tastes, in the useful and ornamental. Their name is legion, and lo inspect n title of their various attractions would give a good morning's task to the active young shopper. Passing up from the Courthouse, on the right we fust roach the tine hriek corner Store of Messrs.

If wc can resist the temptation of making a call at the Jewelry Establishment of Mr. 11. T. Tusten, we may pass on to the (.?roccry where the Messrs.

Just beyond, opposite his large grocery Establishment, stnnds friend Kerr with a bland smile plnvinir noon his countenance read}* either to liny or sell, to give t lie highest prices for produce, or to Bell villi the cheapest. Let us give him n call and, then solace ourselves with n glass of so?ln water at Messrs. Branch <fc Allen'* ; where we limy he tempted to subscribe for one of their rccent publications. Falsing the well known Kninoy Ilotcl, weararrive nt the large and long established Store of Sir. R. II. Wnrdlaw it Son, whose enlarged experience and fine trute enable tliein to satisfy all customers. Here is also established the Agency of the Bank of Charleston. Just beyond Mr. J. A.

Q Wo extract from tlieN Journal of Conuntrcc, i tlie following interesting notice of a valuable treatise upon the Chinese Mid Afrienn Sugar j Canes, the culture of which is exciting quite a ; 01 Bcnuation throughout the Agricultural world : j ^ We have received from A. O.

Ul- i cott. Appearing at. this juncture, (just an the j " maturing crops of these varieties of plants so- j n recently introduced to the attention ofagrieul turi-ts in the United States are beginning to lie j gathered.) it will be sought, for with avidity, i Appended, it is an article on the crystalliza- j ' tion of the juice of the sorgho, written by I', j a ii, ?i iiio i'. n. rnurtii omec, lor : u *li?* next volutin; of ili<; Agricultural Report; also a paper from Mr. Leonard Wray, former- i ly a planter at Natal, who lias I men inslrumcn- ? tal iii introducing the value of the iuiphcc as n ( o sugar producing plant, prominently to public 1 t notice. Curiously enough, tlie.so I.wo plants, | having apparently the same properties am! al- | most, the same appearance, were received in c Europe, through from widely dilfereiit source.*, 1< almost himnltanoonsly?I lie one from Shan- . | ghao, in 1851, through the French eonstil, and i the other from the southoart eoost of Africa, j Cin the country of tin- Zulu Ivnliii-4. In their i l' ability to yield cryptnlized sugar," alFord ?our- A i.-liiiit*1.1 for stuck, in tli? requirements for ciil- y tivation, ami other peculiarities, they ore illmost. ident ical : l>ul of l lie African |>laiit. there . ^ arc no less tliaii sixteen distinct vnrinticH, of ; ? various degrees of saccharine richness, an?l ; 1 differing very widely tlic time required for . their niiitiii'iiy. J" tliis respect, it seems pc- | culiarly adapted to general cultivation. In j the manufacture of sugar from the ini|>hee, ! c Mr. Wray says lie lins tlie '"nio^t ssgunl sue-1 t, cosh." lie regard* the faet as established ! | that wherever maize or Imlian corn will grow ' nnd lipen its seetl. their ini|?liee will likewise i c (jrow ami elaborate its juice -o as to lie siiita- ; f hie for siigarmaking. Another important sub- j $ ject is thus referred to : "Notwithstanding my numerous unsucccs.s- j ful attempts sonic years ago to impregnate or | 1 fecundate the flowers of the sllijar cane, so in j to obtain n seed which would germinate and produce sugarcane, yet I cannot help clinging j to tlu-idant finmhi-e. I m 11.mlv I hope we now have of fl)'?vtin:r this interesting < object. I have already taken measures to have I new fl-iwcfs "f the sugar vane hronirht. into ' s immediate nn?l continued contact with those1 N of 11nf im|>hee, so a# to ascertain with a cer- \ , tainty whether the snirar cane will thereby he , > induced to perfect its seed, and on the .other j , luMld, whether the pollen of the eane flowers | will produce auv beneficial or other ehani'e in j the i'linr.u'ti'1' of the implies seel." ' v This question Mr. \\ ray jusi ly rogarilj as of I t j sufficient in tens'., to engage the attention of) every scictililic and inquiring mind. Willi re- j gnrd t'? 'lie productiveness ol llic iltiphce, we ! e\tfi?el the following: (,?n nti aero, if wo have only 11.000 roots or i stools, eaeh stool will produce from live to I t weiil.V en lies. varying in weight from a qnar- ' ter of a pound to 1,} pounds, eaeh nlforilin^, on ; a low average, lherc|'i,r>. ?e will say, 8-I.UUO eano.a, weighing OA,000 pound*, capable of ; vi?dding seventy five per eeiit. of juice ; hut if "taken at only w-ventv per cent, then giving i 44.100 pounds of juice, containing fifteen per j cent, of sui;iir. If from this quantity of juice the mnunfactu- j ivr entmot manage to produce two tons of j good, dry, lair-colored sugar, tlicuMie must be i unskillful indeed. I One Knglisli aero of impliee, crown under I I favorable circumstinces, will yield fully two ! | tons of drv sutrar, and even move ; but I will t , not estimate the average return at more than I 1A tons of fair, <1ry migar, per acre, which it' , should most undoubtedly produce as nu aver- , age crop. ' , Mr. Wrny siys lie find# that there are now j mini ufiit'tui'i'd throughout the whole countries , of Kurope about 100,11(1 tons of beet-root sn- . | ear, obtained from about 400 English acres of , | land, forming an nverngc of something like1 j 800 pounds of good sugar per acre, and unities ; { tliat 4*iio reasonable being can innin 1 >: . for , one moment, tlisit tlie produce obtainable from , | one acre of beet-root i? unj- M ay tqual to tliat , derivable from nn acre oT iinplice." More- : over, tlie expense of manufacturing sugar from i tlie iinplice is said to lie much less. And when 1 compared with the sinrar eniie* tin* n<K-niiln<r..< ' . . . # -r~-J ""ftY J ' I are declared to l?t* still in its favor,?,<o inneh i ] .?o, that**lli? tropical planter will, if ncctMsi- | ty, I'C compelled to n<lopt the imphee and dis- { card the su^ar cane, as a more inuttofe of ct-lf- ; ' preservation. " From Canada to New ' ] Orleati?, wo have a mngiiitiecnt range for the i growth of the imphee ; ami in tlie Southern ' States two crops a year will l>e obtained. in : lieu of the miserable one crop of cane t-ngar | . now realized."

The common Council of New York had awarded the box to Maj. Dyekninn of New York, which decision called forth an indignant protest from the friends of Col. Unmet, the rival claimant. Mr. Andrew .Tackson, jr., who had come all the way from Tennessee to make the presentation, in view of tho remonstrances and representations which linvo greeted him, has concluded to hold on lo the box, until the delicate question can bo settled. T|iis decision wns anything else tlinn pleasing to the Common Council, who, however, dsd not agree in the opinions on the subject: The Council gravely di<eusscd the conduct of llr. Jackson, nnd passed resolutions strongly condemning him. Alderman Tucker rend the clntisn of Gen. Jackson's will, relating to the box, from which it appeared that, the same w/is to be presented bv the trustee, nnd not bv the Mnvor. and wna i to b given to the person adjudged to be t|ie , bravest "by hi* countrymen," nod not by the , Common Council of N^w York. lie thought | it was an insult to Mr. Jackson to propose to him- that the box be presented by the Miiyor. , No wonder he put the t>ox in Inn pocket and , marched buck to Tennessee, he would have f done the same thing, lie always thought the ( committee on this box business would get off f the track before they got through with it, and j they hud not only run ofT the track, but .had { completely smashed up ; they were all \vrong ( from beginning to enn, and the sooner they \ A und it out the better.

The Letter of (Jen. Walker has elicited a reply from Mr. Jenkins, in which lift disavows my concurrence, in the views expressed in the letter, mid expresses enrpriue that (Jen.

The reply thus concludes : "On reading the letter attentively, I pcrccivlmI it wiw not such u coniiiiuniciitioii as I had reason to expect. The following conclusions to which nothing in our conversation pointed) 'ccnicd to mc very clear, viz: that the first and last sentences were calculated to make the impression that we had conferred freely upon the merits of lii* Central American enterprise, and were agreed?^ihc correct idea* eoucernini; matters in Central America which he lripcd I would endeavor to spread, will, of course, bo understood to mean his ideas; and his hope of effort on my pnrt to spread them, will be understood to rest upon my avowed concurrence in them.) that the most effective prevention rif the evils foreshailowed, is the project of Americanizing?in other words, of conquering L\-ntin!

Walker hud denied to nie the privilege, xpressly reserved, of determining whether or lot my iiniuc should appear in print, in connec,ion with (lint letter.

However certain \vc may be of the ultimate result, it is impossible to deny (bat. for the present the balance is against us, and we cannot shake off an apprehension that tidings of further calamities will reach 119 before the troops now at sea can be landed at Kwrracliuc and Calcutta. Although onr forces have been victorious in every conflict, they are divided in Bninti bodies over a vast extent of country, and ns sonic must fall in ench combat, there is danger of their being cut off in detail before succours can rcnch them. Wc are far from deniring to spread alarm, mid we wish to look at the situation ns it really is without. falling into either extreme ?f boastful confidcnce or undue depression. We have no doubt that, however great the difficulties which lie before u*t the energy and resource- of England will rise superior to the crisis; and in exposing its magnitude we ore only anxious to urge tho people nml the Government, of this country to a (hint, (mch nionmiren n? will ra/ut ?f. for<l succour to our countrymen in India, and re-establish British authority in the revolted provinces. The area over which the insurrection rnges may now he defined with tolerable accuracy, it extends from ISenarcs nnd Allahnbad in the south cast, to Umballn in the north-west, comprising all the north-western provinces, which for administrative purposes arc classed under the divisional titles of ])elhi, Meerut, Roliilcund, Agra, Allahabad, and Ucnarc9, and .including 1 the recently annexed .kingdom of Oude. The subsidiary state of Gwalior must be added, fop, although the Itajah is said to remain staunch, hia troops have joined the insurgents. This territory exiendd over a surface of one hundred and thirty thousand square tuiles, and contains a population of nearly forty millions. The number of trained soldiers who have deserted our standard* amounts to on aggregate of not leas tlian one hundred thousand men, of whom two thinls ?ro in. urnis against us. The mutineer* '< who merely returned to their native viflages# ] have been rpjilaeed in the rebel ranks by all' i the turbulent spirits, the brigands, nnd the desperadoes of ludin, who have joined the revolt. To keep under control such a vast territory and population, and to repel the assaults of one hundred thousand desperate mutineer*, for" the most part trained and disciplined by tho rules of modern military science, there ore but a few thousand British soldiers, aided by regu i ?: i. - a .i .Ki .. .1?I -U-.-I /?-. * . * Hir levies wiiwc iiucmjr i^uuuuillll.
