Pollard ia destined soon to appear before tho public again; this time as the plaintiff in a snit of divorce against Mrs. Pollard nee the Countess Nathalie de San Do? mingo', j The evidence is now being prepared and the case will come- up before the spring term of the proper court in the City of New York. This Btep-it ?B authoritatively stated is preparatory to another trial of the matrimo? nial noose. -The Courrier des Etats Unis apprehends that Hay ti and Liberia will not rate very highly General Grant's compliment in sending them ministers oT their own color. "Sweets to sweet" is. very well in case of beauty and flowers; but in the vulgar world nothing ?B more nause? ating than a surfeit of sweets. The Courrier fears th t the American Ambassadors will be vie wc-i with the same eye that Mr. Buchanan (Mr. Mason ?) looked op?n the Minister from Hay Li, when, covered with; gold and feathers, ho waa presented to Queen Victoria: "What do yon think of that ?" said soma one to Mr. B. "I think he would bring $1500in New Orleans." -Tis cable bringa news that negotiations between Franco and Belgium aro suspended. ' Some suppose that this intelligence means im? mediate war, for Belgium would not dare to act counter tq the wishes of France unless secret? ly supported by Prussia. The papers say the Belgian Minister was very graciously received by tho Emperor, who made bis visitor sit di? rectly before him and do the talking. It is a habit of his Majesty when discussing matters .of business, if near a fire, ti poke it inces? santly. On ihia occasion he poked furiously the only fact of tho interview that was made known. -It is said that Secretary Fish ha* assur? ances that steps have already been taken by England looking to the surrender of the brig Mary Lowell. On the other hand, it is stated by the New Yor? Herald that, this point being settled, England will do all iu her power, with ^aetei ffl'fflgg spftff t?bMt? rebellious Cubans in subjection. It is even as? serted that a secret understanding has already been entered into on the part of England and France to soud a powerful fleet to the West In ? dies to' assist in preventing supplies from reaching the Cabans, and thus enabling Spain to starve out ber rebellious subjects. -The shower bath punishment in the Ne tv York prison is the one most dreaded by the convict. He is placed on s seat, his neck put in a sort of a yoke, his arms stretched to ihe right and left, when the keeper pulls a cord, and a large body of water continues to fall upon his head mit il the keeper lets go of the cord. It is claimed the water is shut offassoonas the' convict promise amends. Sometimes such a promise is extorted at once, sometimes not; bat compliance comes sooner or later. The power to bear up under the infliction differs in different individua'-:.' One man will suffer terri bly from a few galldng of water, and others will take barrels and suffer less. One prison bas a tradition of a negro who could endure several hogsheads without wincing. It is said that all,negroes are. affected by it less than any other class, the water falling on their heads a -long time as harmlessly as pattering rain on a " tfuci'a back. Orainary mortals, however, can me? boar ap under it, and those frequently sub? jected tb it are always permanently injured. In some constitutions it induces conjeation of the brain and langs, immediate s tr s uguie lion, 6x. ? -A New Orleans correspondent gives some . account of the Coban filibustering expedition now being organized in that oily. General Steedman, Senor Diaz, General Hays and Colonel Nixon are tho leaders of the force, which numbers over a thousand men, camping on different plantations in the neighborhood of the city. The chiefs have further purchased . two thousand rifles and two fall batteries of ar JtiHery, and also hired a very fast steamer, a former blockade runner, to bring them to the northern coast of Cuba. This steamer has been - reported since io have left for Cuba. They "hope to be ablo to baffle by their steamer ..every pursuit, though, in case of need, they - are-firmly resolved to give battle to any Span? ish man-of-war which they may encounter. There is plenty of money among the filibusters; the rich planters arrived from Cuba and the Mexican Consul, Senor Diaz, have provided ampio funds for carrying out the expedition, General Steedman having also contributed 15000. Senor Diaz, in the negotiations with | tho Cubans, serves as interpreter and negotia? tor, while Steedman occupies himself with the organization of the corps only, which will con? sist of two divisions, commanded by Genoral Hays and Colonel Nixon. A splendid Cuban flag, made of silk by the wife of Senor Diaz, was presented to the officers of the corps in' , Senor Diaz's house. That the enterprise will meet with difficult?ee in leaving New Orleans is hardly to .be believed, the customhouse offi? ciais being all in favor of the Cuban cause. Moreover; the corps is made up of men who have scented battle-fields, and who are not ia* timidated by Spanish troops or Spanish sur? veillance. -Our Western exchanges are full of details of the great tornado which visited that section of the country on the 19th inst. The St. Louis Democrat says : "The bail-stones were on an average about the size of marbles, while many .of them were as large as pigeon's eggs. The ha? fell thick aod fast for several min?tes, ^covering the ground and the fl.t housetops, "breaking windows and street lamps beyond enumeration. It is difficult to estimate the damage, but it can hardly be less than $100,000. The hail caine down so thick and in such large globes that the sky was darkened and the air had a milky appearance, as though the whole ? milky way bad broken loc -.nd was dropping jjhofe upon tho ground. \ae shower of ice created a laud, roaring hiBsiug noise, while tb wind howled around the housetops, slammc ehutters, wrenched signs from their fastei ing?, ai"! blow thc hail-stones with grca*. vi< lenee against th.' windows. Tho fury ot tl storm drowned tho noise of thc breckin window pains, but the fragments of ?las could bc seen falling upon tho aidow.i!kB an mingling with the piles of dri'.trd ic . ?lcb< that rolled and bouueed and dnuc^l iiroiin like marbles shot from the fingers ol'milliot of elfin spirits of the air. ? The ha?! iw.tsd i six or eight minutes, but the rain continue longer and gradually diod away in a mist shower. Upvards of live hundred panes < glass were broken in the Everett Houe alone. Out of one hundred and ninety-tw panes of glass in tho exposed front of th Broadway Hotel, only r;:e escaped demol tum."' Two funeral processions were stamp) ded, and in both instances tho corpse wa thrown to the ground. As one of the result of tho storm, it is stated on the authority < physicians that over one hundred p ematui births occurred, brought on by the excitemen In Indianapolis, the storm was no less seven The Indiana Central freight depot was blow down, and many lives are known to have bee lost. Great damage is reported from o the sections of the State. Illinois papers all te the same story. From Tennessee, wo heir c au entire railroad train being blown off bridge, of house? and churches thrown dow or unroofed, and of an infinite number of cast alties. No such storm was ever witnessed i the West. CHARLESTON. -0 TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1869. A State Press Association. It ?B proposed by the Anderson Intelli gencer, the Barnwell Journal, and othe country papers, t'> at a convention be hell in Charleston at an early day for the pur pose of forming a State Press Association Doubtless it is pleasant for the member of the press, who are working in a commoi canse and for the good of their people, t< meet together and consider the questions o the day, and discuss what measures ar? most likely to advance thc interests of th? craft. Au interchange of opinions, and tht more thorough understanding which growt out of personal intercourse, are always valuable and to be desired. But when it ii suggested that a permanent organization be formed, it is just as well to inquire at once what in reason it could be expected to ac? complish. In political matters it would seem that the proposed association would be of no avail, because tobe the representative o? the press of the State it must include both Democratic aud Republican newspapers. Of established Republican papers in South Carolina there are, we believe, but two the Orangeburg News and the Darlington Southerner, and this last we class as Re? publican more on account of its .tone and temper of late than of any formal profes? sion of party faith. The.e t wo papers, at all events, would become members of the asso? ciation if they so desired, and it would seem to be impracticable, oven if it were desirable, to form a coalition for the dis? semination of any particular class of politi? cal principles. Every editor, confident in shape out the policy of his own paper, and none, we presume, would be disposed to follow the line which a convention might choose to mark out. Things political, then, being counted out, the only practical topics that would remain for consideration would be those of general newspaper management. If the country press desire and are pre? pared to establish a telegraphic news sys? tem for the State, arrangements might probably be made to accomplish that end. A distributing agent at Charleston could send news to all points with which there is telegraphic communication, and, doubtless, at a moderate cost. We do not know, however, whether anything of the kind is wanted, and can only assure our contemporaries that in this matter wc would give them, with or without an association, all the assistance ia our power. And in regard to general newspaper man? agement, embracing rates of wages, and rates of subscription and advertising, the association would have bat little real foroe. It is desirable in the extreme, for instance, that there should, in all cases, be a rigid adherence to the system of requiring pay? ment of subscriptions ia adavuoe. The proprietors of THE NEWS adopted this plan more than twelve months ago, and it haa proved a signal success. There can be but one opinion as to its advantages ia securing newspaper proprietors against loss; for a subscription bill is almost as difficult to collect as a doctor's bill; but if there are reasons, good or bad, which have prevented a paper, up to this time, from adopting the cash system, they would hardly be over? come by any resolution of a press associa? tion. The same may be said in regard tc advertising rates and other kindred sub? jects. Even supposing, however, that those ob? jections can be overcome, a greater diffi? culty remains. There should be absolute free trade in newspapers. Each proprietor should be at liberty to fix his own rates of subscription and determine the price at which he can afford to sell his advertising space. If he likes to give away his paper and charge treble rates for his advertise? ments, it is his affair and not that of his neighbors. The course pursued by TUE NEWS is a case in point. In January, 18C8, the subscription price of THE DAILY NEWS ? was reduoed from $10 per annum to $6 per annum; but the credit system was abolished, and the payment of subscriptions invaria? bly io advauce was required. Many of our contemporaries declared that it was absurd to attempt to publish a daily newspaper at $0 a year. What has been the result ? Our paid circulation is larger to-day than ever before, and is steadily and rapidly increas? ing, while our cash receipts from subscrip? tions in 1868, even at the reduced price, were much larger than the receipts in 1S67, at the high price. We have faith in cheap and good newspapers, and try to show our faiU by our works; tut we would not pre? sume to advise any of our contemporaries to adopt the plan which we have found so wise. What we desire to say, then, ia that the proposed association, in our opinion, could do no practical good, unless it could establish some uniform rule of newspaper management, and that the establishment of such a rule would be, to say the least, of ! doubtful expediency, because it is beet for every man to manage his business in his own **ay. In no c?mse must we be understood as being prejudiced against the proposed con? vention. Our contemporaries think that the subject should be talked over, and we have given frank expression to our views. Something, however, may have been ex? pected to be done of .which we have no knowledge, and we shall be pleased if tho country press will explain more fully what they hope to accomplish by the formation of the State Association* The Agricultural Convention. The State Agricultural Convention wjJJ assemble in the Carolina Hall, at Columbia, at ll A. M. to-morrow. It is important to transact the business of the Conventic ts rapidly as possible^ and this can only oe accomplished by meeting early and punc? tually, and working late. The up-country will be represented in solid phalanx, and we trust that the delegation from the sea? board will be steady and strong. THE RIFLE AND THE HOC .VD I>- CEYLON. BV Sir Samuel W. Baker. With Illustrations. Phil? adelphia : J. Lippiccott & Co. Charleston : Holmes' Book House. This book ia no Jess stirring and exciting than the already famous ''Cast up by the Sea."

And if any one is disposed to marvel at tho stories of peril, skill and endu? rance which it contains, he is checked by the statement in the preface "that the coloring of "every description is diminished and not exag? gerated, the real scene being in all cases a' "picture of which the narrative is but a feeble 'copy.-' Prico $1 50.
