THE DAILX^EWS. Th? Volco or Grief. O rugged, toilsome path of thoras and briers, Of weary, bleeding feel; Peopled with shadows of unreaped desires, And pleasures incomplete ! lAni of unchanging soi row for the dead, And bittorne?s of lite. Where noble lives by cruel hands aro shed, To win tbo he'd of strife ; Whore Pam eternal, Uko the Alpine snows, Crowned above men and kings. Broods dark as night, and from ber bosom throws Her arrows and her stings I Shall tho sweat breath of Summer swoop the earth, And make it smile with flowors, Yet leave to man tho pestilential dearth Of over-withering powers ? Bohold how Morrow, wandering through the world, Weeps passionate tedi's of blood, And Charity upon the stones ls hurled, Crying aloud for good I The volee of Grief pierces the Silent Land, Wh^re victory is won Is there no haven past Time's dangerous strand, No joy beyond the sun ?

Charleston and Savannah have been com? mercial centres for the sale of the rice crops of South Carolina and Georgia for at least a cen? tury. Both these cities have drawn a hand Some support from, the rice growers of the two States, and many factors have grown rich upon incomes derived almost exclusively from this jsouree, As business oeutres their established local usa goa have hitherto governed entirely in the sala of this particular grain. These local customs, with buyers and sellers, have had the influence of common law. Th ay have been .considered the lex loci, and, as suoh, have ex? ercised the force and dignity of the lex scripta: and merchants and factors have conformed thereto without reference to the local customs of other cities or large commercial centres, just as they have conformed to othar usuages differing in Charleston from those of New York, Boston or New Orleans. It has but recently been discovered that a charge for the tierces in which rice is sold is Srejudioiai to the oommerce of Charleston, tronge that a custom which has obtained for one hundred years should Just at this particu? lar time prove a clog to the City of Charles? ton. More strange that the rice buyers shonld now find it necessary to oombine together and positively refuse to purohase if their demands are not complied with, viz: if the factors de? cline to give them the tierces in which the rice is sold. Each tierce costs the planter $150, which must be given away to secure a purchas? er of his rico; for all the buyers are committed as a league to stand by this strike against the planter. The factor, as agent, has either to -succumb or Ship under instructions to anoth? er marli et. Ko matter at what cost to the poor struggling platter, the oommerce of Charleston requires the fostering care of a new? ly fledged Board of Trade, which it would seem ut ready to ora v the very life-blood ot the poor rice grower, but is blind to the discrepancy in the rates or commissions in Charleston as compared with those of Northern and Western cities. There waa a time when this ?trike of the noe buyers would have been met summari? ly by the planters themselves, and their factors would scarcely have hesitated as to thou* duty, acting solely as agents in the premises. Formerly, with a orop of thousands of tierces from one particular section or neighborhood in the hands of the growers, suoh a combina? tion among the buyers could not possibly have been effected. They know full well that it would have driven nearly every tierce from Charl' s on to other markets, and that the in? terests of the oity would have been compro? mised by suoh action. But now that the plan ter is not living, but barely breath! jg, lying prostrate and dependent for the small means necessary to carry on his planting operations, bis factor too poor ta back him against this innovation, the blow is struck, and be has to five up one hundred and fifty dollars on every undred tierces of rico sent to the Charleston market, or lose the privilege of a sale. To talk about paying more for the rice if tha tier co is thrown in for nothing, is idle, for no one be ?OVC? it Doubtless the full effect of this change has been well considered by those who suggested it. At first it was a mero suggestion from the noe bm ors to the rice lac toi H. Nothing was positively determined upon, and oy some it sras hinted that the success of the movement was dependent chiefly upon the mill owners of Charleston. There was little fear that the flan tors could or would combine against it. ossibly the interests of the city had found antagonism in the pounding mills of the country, and that more rough rice was neces? sary for the oity mills. The planter who ob? jected to paying one dollar and fifty cont s to the millers for tieroes, had the option ot selling in the rough, and the millers who do make a profit on their barrels could very well afford to lose something for a monopoly in pounding. But, be tbiB as it may, it is pretty well estab? lished that, with present indebtedness to fae. tors in Charleston, the growing crop cannot very well be shipped elsewhere. This estab? lished, and the new system fairly inaugurated, no resotion is likely to benefit the planter. Tho Chamber of Commerce have taken the buyers ?pon their shoulders, and, thus m unted, their card is out positively declining, sitei ino lat ot May next, to purchase any rice where a charge is made for the tierces. The acti ?n of the Chamber is a mere expression of opinion, and may be considered advisory -the action of the rice merchants is uncompromising and oompultory. Have the factors noihmg to say in the matter ? Do tho plan era acquiesce, cr bavo they no right to a voice ? These are quos tiona propounded with groat deferonco and re? spect for tho intelligence and personal charac? ter of thoso thu? prominent in looking after the interests of thc commercial community of the City of Charleston. Tho first chief rea?on given for tho proposed chango (in a former card) was bccauBO *'tbe rico Boilers of Now York, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, St. L mia, Chicago and all other Jargo business centres do not charge for tierces," Ac. Charleston is tho .chief centre for tico, and BO far as this article is concornod, usages established for sales in her market are just as binding os tho usages or other business cen? tres with other marketable products. For a century the charges for tho tierces have been sustaitod. It she is to be controlled by tho usages of other cities in this particular, why not tn all others V Lot there bo a gonoriil un? derstanding and concurrence between all thc Boards of Trade and Commerce. Lot thoro be no local, but one general law of trade. Let the tare be uniform-either ten per cent, or the actual weight of each sample barrel; the commissions for buying and Bolling in Charles? ton is just what they aro in New York and Bos? ton, and seo that New Orleans and Baltimore correspond. As I said boforo sweep clean, lt is agreed by the buyers to abolish the draft of of four pounds to the tiorco. This should have been dono long ago. lt is but right and just, but it is u small matter compared with the tierces. It is too email a bait to pacify now, when but a year ago that same Chamber of Commerce sustained tho allowance against a planter who demurred, on tho ground that it was an old and established custom, which they could see no good reason for abolishing. Gentlemen may undertake to direct trado so that no prejudico shall arise to tho commer? cial interests of Charleston. In doing so I simply beg to remind thom that if the plant? ing interests fail, the commercial p:o ipority of Chark st on perishes necessarily. Retaliatory moaBuros are always to be avoided if possible; and with no threatening spirit do I make this demur on behalf of tho planton But if the Northern and Western markets will net more ready money to tho plinter for his crop, I speak advisedly whon I say that there aro nomo who will seek thoso markets without tho aid or advice of a Charleston factor. TIDE-WATER. A FAMOUS FUI,!, OF TUE NOSE. Death of a liemarkablo RI an-Fifty Years of Persecution-Life of One of the Virginia ltandolphs-Ile Pulls Gene? ral .Jackson's IV o ac-Wily thc Nose was Pulled. Two hundred and fifty-six years ago this month, Pocahontas, daughter of Powhatan, was married to John Bolfe, at Jamestown, Va. She died in England in March, four years after her marriage, leaving one son, who returned to Virginia to reside, and there left descend? ants, among whom was John Randolph, of Roanoke. Robort B. Randolph, cousin of John, died at his residence on the corner of Four and-a-half and C streets, Washington, on the morning of the 20th inst., at tho age of 78. He was the man who tweaked the nose of An? drew Jackson, Old Hickory being then Presi? dent of the United States. The pulling took place in the cabin of a steamer, which stopped at Alexandria on ita passage down the river. ^Randolph went aboard, marched up to Jackson, who supposed he was confronted by a friend till the thing was done. Bandolph got beyond the jurisdiction of the county police before a process could be issued, and eeoaped arrest. The scene when Jackson found himself with a pulled nose is described by those who saw it as one of stupendous rage. The cities of the District of Columbia were in a foam over the indignity, and the whole ooun try, in fact, was for a tiras ?n ft tempest, the triumphant Jackson party feeling that its own nose had been twisted by this audacious de? scendant of Pocahontas. General Van Ness, then Mayor of Washington, sont a solemn message to the Councils on the event, and the Boards responded in a solemn resolution of condolence and indignation. No wonder that Randolph had to dodge from flace to placo for two years to avoid arrest, 'inally, it is reported that an officer now living, was authorized to inform Bandolph that if he would apologize for his insult to the President, he would be reinstated. This Bandolph de? clined to do until the President had first apol? ogized. It is hardly necessary to say that no apology came. Atter twenty-three years of service in the navy, and much gallant conduct, Raudolph without much property, and without a profession, was turned adrift upon the world. During the administration of James Buchanan, John B. Floyd, then Secretary of War, gave Randolph tho position of Superintendent o? the Armory in Washington; but he only held the place a short time, as Buchanan hearing of the appointment, ordered it to be revoked for reasons, best known to himself. Tbe origin of the trouble between Jackson and Bandolph was this : Some few years ago, it will be remembered, a person named Bou ftanini oloped from New York with the prop? erty and niece of hts wife, whom he bad then recently married; the forsaken wife was once the wife of General Eaton, Secretary of War to General Jackson; and prior to that the wife of. one Timberlake, who died a purser in the United States navy. On the death of Timber lake, Bandolph, who was then a lieutenant in the navy, was appointed to act temporarily as purser in his place. He found his accounts in a mixed condition and a deficiency existing against him. Before ho had a chance to settle his accounts, Mrs. T. became the wife of Gen? eral Eaton, Secretary of War, who was also surety for her former husband. It beoame apparently of interest to both that the defi? ciency charged should be shifted to other shoulders than those of the dead purser. An attempt was made to carry out such a scheme, with Bandolph as the victim. Bandolph asked for a court of inquiry, which being granted, he woe cleared ot all suspicion hy its report. But, nevertheless. President Jackson ordered his dismissal from the navy. Not long after this, while Old Hickory was passing down the Potomac on a steamer, in front of Alexandria, and during a pause of the boat at that place, Bandolph came on board and deliberately and most effectually wrung the nose of his Excel? lency. Bandolph entered the navy at about the age of sixteen, and had command of a division on the quarter deck of the frigate Constitution under Decatur, in her action with and the cap? ture of the British frigate Macedonian. He was also iu the President when that ship was captured by the Endymion and other British vessels, and was carried a prisoner to London, where he cowhided a British officer for using contemptuous language concerning America. A brother of his went down with the sloop Wasp, which sunk at sea after her fight with a line-of-battle ship, the name of which escapes me. He was less than five feet ten in height, rather slim, had hair of light color, in youth, as shown by a miniature taken in New London soon after the capture of the Macedonian; his nose was slightly Roman, and ha had eyes like an eagle in clearness and power ot expression. In his eyes and nose alone were peiceptible traces of his Indian origin He leaves a wife and four children, one a son. THE RAILROAD WAU.-The Augusta Chronicle of yesterday says : "Io former ar. ides on this subject we expressed the belief that as soon as the City Council passed the ordinance allow? ing the Columbia and Augusta Railroad Com? pany to construct a bridge across the Savan? nah and enter the city that th ) litigation be? tween that corporation and the South Carolina Railroad would commence afresh, and the United States Court would be the scene of war? fare. That this opinion was correct was dem? onstrated on Wednesday last by a notice being served on Mayor Bussell, by Messrs. Gould and Hull, the plaintiff's attorneys, that oo the third of next month an application would be made to Judge Erskine, in the United States Court at Savannah, for an njunotion restrain? ing the city from allowing the Columbia Road to enter tue corporate limits of Augusta." ANOTHER KEROSENE ACCIDENT.-The colored man named Adam Dollie, residing in Mill street, ?ho was dreadfully burned on Sunday night last by the explosion of a kerosene lamp, is dead. This is the second death whioh has occurred in this city within the last two months from the use of explosive oil, and we hope the grand jury will inquire into the mat? ter, and present any person who has been knowingly selling th?s dangerousarliolc. ??wv??>M*fV nr.puifltuan. -Mrs. Stover, the pf etty widowed daughter of ex-President Johnson, was married list week to Mr. William Brown, of Greenville, Tenneaeee.
