Address BORDAN. DAWSON & CO.. So. 140 East Bav. Charleston, S.U. ?he C3)?flinton THURSDAY, OCTOBEK 2C, 1871 KEW S OF THE DAT. -Gold closed yesterday at ll^all j. -Cotton in New York yesterday closed weak and Irregular; uplands 18k; .-??es 1471 bales. -In Liverpool cotton closed heavy; uplands 9?d, Orleans 9ja9jd. -Darwin is engaged OD a work in which the facial expression ol animals will be one ol the chief topics discussed. -The dramatic event of the week In New York has been the arrival of Sothern, the great original of Lord Dundreary, who begins a season at Niblo's on Monday night. -The Abbe I.iszr, the great master of the piano and eminent musical composer, has just been granted letters of nobility and a pension of six thousand florins ($3000) by the Hunga? rian Government,'?nd will live herealter alter? nately at Weimar and Pestb. -The bed ol the Mississippi River seems to be filling up at a rate which threatens in the course of time to seriously affect navigation during the dry season. This year at St. Louis, while the surlace of the water has been four feet and one inch above the lowest stage ol water attained by the river in 1863, there was at the same time only about five inches differ? ence in ths depth of the channel between these years, Bhowlng that the bottom of the river must be three feet and lour inches higher than lt was In 1863. So in 1856 the bed of the river was found to be two feet and three inches nigher than lt was ten years previous. -The French autonomy as yet ls a question? able matter. The recent elections indicate decided hostility to Red Republicanism, but Gambetta 1B consoled that Bonarpartlsm re? ceived as positive a check. There is, however, a strong undercurrent of sentiment in favor of restoration. The present government, per? haps the weakiV. that France has ever had, apparently dreadB the event, but in providing against it deals with diplomatic liberality. It suppresses Insults to Eugenie, gives safe con? duct to Prince Napoleon through France to Corsica, and protects him from a radical mob, but Bends soldiers Into provinces suspected of hankering after the old regime. -The combined squadrons of England have recently been having a great field day off the coast of Portugal. This evolutionary naval drill, on a grand seal:, has elicited facta which are In? teresting as to the capabilities of iron clads In warfare. The rolling of some ol this class of vessels in a heavy sea, as compared with the rolling of Borne of the older ships, is said to bave been terrible. The Monarch, one of the new vessel?, bad a maximum roll of thirty-six degrees, while the less modern crafts averaged from thirteen to fifteen degrees. An explana- j tlon from the designer of this vessel will ? doubtless be called for by the Britishers. The . question as to whether England is poorer or richer In her naval resources ls a difficult one 1 to answer. She has the material, but it ls a ' a?rions question whether it Is not misapplied. ' Nelson's ships could weather any storm, but < the captain was lost in a squall. ! -There is erecting for President Grant one ? of the costliest stables In the United States, , two stories high, pressed brick front, with ( Seneca stone trimmings, and a most elaborate? ly finished and beautifully designed French roof, in the centre of which will be built a handsome tower. The outside measurement of the building Is 59 by 78 feet. The building la now ready tor the roof, which will be put on during the week. Marble dust will be used on the front with the mortar. Instead of white sand. This will give the joints a brilliant snow white appearance, which will not have to be painted or oiled, as is generally the custom, as acid will be used to clean off all marks. The atable will cost, it is estimated, $50,000. With all the Information that has so gratuitously been furnished to us by a Radical contempo? rary concerning the extravagance of the atables, said to be owned by some ot the "Tammany Ring," lt ls a relief to think our Republican President ls going to beat them al). He bas, doubtless, more coin at his com. mand than they ! -A party has just arrived at La Crosse, Wis? consin, who travelled for several days through and along the burning district ot Dakota and. Northwestern Minnesota. The description they give of their own Butlering and the scenes they witnessed are heart-rending. They state that they found at different points the charred remains of three human beings, nothing lea but the bodies, and those bumed lo a crisp. Nothing could be found '.hat would in any way Indenlliy the burned corpses. The mail coach due ia Yankton on Wednesday evening had an exciting race willi the element. It was dlbcovered that the fire was coming, and a race ensued. The driver plied bis whip, and away the horses went on a gallop. Nearer and nearer came the fire. The red glare filled the8ky; the lorked tongue shot out; the ter? rible hissings of the demon were in the ears of the affrighted passengers. The driver gather? ed his lines, drew the leaders from the road, the horses gathered, Jumped, a rail lenee was beneath the wheels of the coach, the coach was on a piece of ploughed ground, and the tre went by with a roar like a caleract. -In England, where experimental agricul? ture ls carried lo an extreme almost unknown with us, the invention ot methods of irrigation has been very ingenious. At Stoke Park a tract oi twenty acres ls irrigated by artificial rain, the system being quite successful. The water was applied every night last summer io showers, excepting when natural rain made lt unnecessary. The apparatus consists of pipes laid In ihe ground, supplied from au elevated reservoir. Into which waler was pumped by machinery. The financial exhibit made hy? the results of the experiment is said to be a good one. The interest on the money invest? ed In the necessary machinery, and tho cost of operating lt, aggregated $95 per acre lor the entire tract of twenty acres. Likewise the income per acre aggregated $200, being made up of the proceed? of one crop of grass and grazing In the autumn of 1870, and two crops of hay la 1871. Toe net profit was thoa $105 per acre. Ou land of the same tract and same character, use i tor the same pur? pose, but where the irrigation WAS omitted, the net profit per acre was but $45. -Paris will not brook neglect, even though the charming city ia in a compar?t, rely du api dated couditiOD, and thouch Its splendid pal? aces and parks are but the ehadowB of their former selves; and everything is being done to entice strangers to the hospitable banks of the Seine for the coming season. For Paris needs money, and money she must and will have from her former patrons of England and America. To this end she is exerting herself to appear again in the old-time, radiant garb, and to dazzle and amuse, as formerly, her in? numerable visitors; the work of completing the Grand Opera has begun again, and a great number of workmen are busy clearing out the ground floor; the first vestibule and lobby are finished, with the exception of four groups of celebrated musicians, and the interior and exterior portico?, remarkable for their bril? liant ornamentation, are also completed; the ruins are still worth a visit; the Me of St. Cloud has begun; workmen are busy repairing the Palace of the Legion ol Honor, the Palais Royal and the Tuileries; the Prussians have evacuted the environs of the city; the theatres contend with each other to please and divert the public; roulette and rouge et noir, after the most approved style of gambiing-houses in Nice, Monaco, Baden and Ems, are to be licensed at the Palais d'Industrie; the races at Longchamps come in for their share of public attention; and, in a word, the Parisians seem as determined as ever, like Figaro, to "laugh at everything immediately, for fear of beiDg obliged to weep."' The Policy for the South. General Frank Blair delivered a speech in Montgomery, Alabama, last week, in which he candidly expressed his opinior.8 upon two subjects of great interest to the South? ern Democrats, viz : whether the Southern State3 should decline to be represented ?D the next National Democratic Convention, but should accept whatever candidate the Democrats of the North may see'fit to crier; und what are the prospects of overthrowing the Grant party-they can DO longer be called Republicans-io the next election for President ? From the propositioo that the South shall forbear to take any part io the councils of the National Democracy, Senator Blair dis. seats entirely ; protestiDg agaiost it, in the name of every Democrat io the North and West. AmoDgst the Democrats of the North there will be a struggle for the nomination. The contending factions will fight hard for their candidates. Bat the South have DO j personal favorites to advance. To the Southern States all Democrats are alike; their choice will fall upon him who is most likely to carry the banner in triumph. It ! is, therefore, the opinion of Seoator Blair that if the South fails to send her prudent men to the Convention she will withhold j from the North aod West the benefit of "the I "wisest and most impartial counsel " they can have. And Senator Blair sees DO force in the idea that the presence of Soptheroers j in the Convention will be laid hold of, ns ?D 1868, and used to the detriment of the Democratic party. He says boldly that the absence of the Southern States " will be "duimed as a refusal togo with the Northern "Democrats, because they have adopted, the I "new departure," and as an evideoce that I "the spirit of rebellion still lingers and burns "under the smouldering ashes."' But Senator Blair mighthave gone farther. For our part we put aside all narrow questions of semi- j meat and fancy, and take the broad gronnd that the South cannot afford to brood over | her own wrong?, and hold herself aloof from the re3t of the cocotry. We fear that we have iodulged over-much io sectional sullea aess. Tbis is one couotry from Alaska to Florida, and from Texas to Maine ; and we must learn to think ci ourselves, and teach Dthers to think of 03, not merely as South-1 ?roers, but as American citizeos. As States I jf the American TJD?OD, not merely as States of the South, these Commonwealths should send their delegates to the National Convention. AB long as we think of our? selves, and speak of ourselves, as a race ii part, there is no hope of escape from the myriad troubles which oppress DB. The overthrow of despotism and the restoration of the Constitution, is the work of the whole country. We should join io the mighty contest, and take our part in its pains and labors, not as conquered rebels or as ruined slaveholders, but as free-born Americaos, whom "necessity, the tyrant's plea." de? prives of the protection which the Constitu? tion guaraotees to person aDd to property. When we speak as Americans, we shall ob? tain a hearing. Then, at all events, the conspiracy of which we are the victims, will be recognized af a conspiracy against the liberties of the American people ! ? Senator Blair, to whom we tetara, avows Ibat he is no friend of the new departure, but declares himself willing to fight the Radicals in any shape the Democratic party may determine upon. He is confident that President Graot-who is DOW dictator in the Republican party, and aspires to be dic? tator iii the country at large-will dictate his own nomination; but Senator Blair knows that "?orne of the most ooospicuous, "able aud courageous men will leave the "Republican party when Grant is nomi "nuted." This is what Senator Blair would advise: J "Instead of galng for a new departure, I would prefer to go lor a man who represeols the new departure. I would prefer lo give thut guarantee io the disaffected Republicans rather than to go baok upon my own princi? ples. I would preter to make a choice of Re? publicans, and go lor a man who should be nominated by the disaffected Republicans, or, what would be better, one who might be nom? inated In the Democracy, and thus druw to us by a much stronger guarantee lhan the mere words of a platiorm the support ol those who are disaffected with Grant and the Radical party. In other words, I don't see that we go back on our principle in making a choice between candidates neither ot whom may suit us. We could all vole- for a Republican who was in lavor ol universal amnesty, against the Ku-Klcx bills, and against the military laws. Why, the most ancient Bourbon in the Slate of Alabama could vole tor such a Repub? lican in preference lo U. S Grant, and hold all the time lo bis very heart all that there would be of his Bourbonism." Virginia adopted ihh pelicy. Missouri did likewise, and broke the bonds which bound her. The men of foreign birth, who are DOW American citizens, may be relied OD in the coming struggle. They were led io Missouri by Carl Schurz, "the ablest rep? resentative" of his fellow-countrymen. The Germans of the WeBt, although Republicans almost to a man, "have always voted against "disfranchising those who were opposed to "them during the war." Of them Senatoi Blair .?ays : "They needed no InstruciioD from anybody, and they resolutely maintained the doctriue thal nell her Congress nor the Stales could by a bill ol attainder deprive men of the right of *uffrage. They maintained that position in the last contest through which we passed in Missouri; ihey hold ityood against Hie blan? dishments and threats ol'the administration; I they Bland firmly and squarely to-day, solidly ! to the last man, against all disfranchisements and for universal amnesty; they are opposed to this Ku-Klux legislation; against the sus? pension of the writ ol habeas corpus, and, in my judgment, if the Democratic party will now, Instead of the adoption of any "new de? parture,"' put forward a man as the candidate ot the party, or accept one who may be put forward by others, who ls sound upon these principles, he will receive the support of the entire German vote in the United States, num bering, as I have been intormed, from 500,000 to 600,000 men.'' And Senator Blair is not discouraged. To hie vitw the future does cot look gloomy, '.even under the losses we have suffered this "summer and autumn.'' The right man and the right platform will give the Demo? crats the victory. Th? Political Refugees. The Radical press crow over the fact tbat a large number of persons have fled from their homes, in the upper counties of South Carolina, since the suspension by General Grant o? ?he writ of haleas corpus. Their flight is construed as a confession of crime; while, in sober truth, it only mean3 that they are anxious to avoid an arrest without cause, and a conviction without proof of guilt. The courthouses in the upper coun? ties are thronged with idling vagabonds who have been supported by the Radical politi? cians, and are cow the paid spies of the Government. As witnesses they can earn two dollars a day, and no questions asked. No tale is too wildly absurd to be believed. The best men of the country are arrested, and subjected to nameless indignities, upon the bare affidavit of a greedy or malicious negro. There is no redress. For the un? fortunate who is thrown in jail, there is no hope of escape. Anti they who are purest in life and character run the most risk, because the Government officials desire "to make "examples" of those whom the people trust and respect. It is not surprising then that hundreds of men, conscious of their inno? cence, should aoandoo their hearths and seek safety in otl.er States. Carrent Literature THE D:AMONP ox THE HEARTH-A Novel.

The chilling temperature of the nights, as compared with the almost summer warmth of the days, necessarily exercises an unhealthy influence on all who are exposed to lt. Hence dysentery, diarrhoea In? termittent fevers, bilious attacks and derange? ments o'all the secretions, are common at this season. The true way to escape them ls to meet the causea with a protective and invigorating medicine. HOaTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are designed for this exigency. This powerful vegetable specific relieves the system of all acid humors, purities Hie Quids, tones the secretive organs, promotes hea.tby evapoiatlou through ?he pores, Increases the activity of the digestive functions, cheers the spirits, and regulates the bowels. To db* this is to make the whole body vigorous, and render lt proof against the vicissi? tudes of t- mperature, and against malaria. A cour.-e of the great tonic and alterative ls there? fore in all cases advisable as a preventive at this season.
