THE ENGLISH PBE83 OS THE SPANISH SITUA¬ TION-THE BTBON SCANDAL-BIOT TN LOXDON- DXBST-CBTTICISlf OT MB. 8IOKLE8, AC, AC. LOUDON, September 30.-The Bpectator says : "War between Spain and the United States appears like a moral impossibility, bat it is universally believed in just now in Spain. War enthusiasm there is gather- *~ ¡BR fast. Minister Sickles* proposition is in¬ consistent with the precedent furnished by the conduct of the United States in 1866. What with Spanish pride »od American sympathies, the situation is very critical. It is difficult to believe that Spain, with a divided people, a bankrupt treasury, in revolt, with all to lose and nothing to win, caa seriously -contemplate war with one of the greatest pewers on the * earth. The Saturday Review holde that if- the proposals of General Sickles is accurately re¬ ported, there is no ground for complaint agahtat America for making an offer to Spain io the character of a disinterested mediator. It is possible that some of the people in Spain who urge the sending of reinforcements to Cuba desire the absence of the army... With military force only can. the Regent maintain the power and authority of the Coans against the Republicans and Carliste. The friends of Ic. jolla might be formidable in the absence .of the anny. The government most see that to . sacrifice the army Will not not save Cuba. Al- roding to the desire to possess Cuba, the writer thinks the argument of Buchanan in favor of annexation must be more agreeable to their ears now that slavery has been sup¬ pressed, but whether it is their trae interest to include an alien and uncongenial population in the Union is a question for future history. The Times, in sn article on Byron, says: s x "Mrs. Stowe admits that she was consulted with by Lady Byron only on the expediency of publishing the true account of the separation, and owes that she dissuaded her from doing so. She omita to produce adequate authority for her statement. Whatever there may be believed of this revelation, Mrs. Stowe was wrong in publishing information which was supplied in order that she might give the opinion as to what action should be taken upon it." M. Schlessenger, in a letter to the Cologne Gazette, states that Mr. Wentworth repeatedly assured him that Lady Byron desired the un¬ happy story of her marriage to die with her, and that the family papers contained no se¬ crets. ZEELAND. Loir^oKDBBET, September 18.-À riot oc¬ curred yesterday between porters on a strike and others who refused to join them. Both sides were strengthened by their friends, and the riot threatened to become formidable, when the military appeared, and, .charging into the crowd, dispersed them. Several persons were injured, but none were killed. SPAIN. MADBXD, September 18.-The Spanish press has been in a ferment of excitement and indig¬ nation since the presentation of General Sickles' note. Some of the journals abase the American Minister sadly. They say he was sent here solely because he was known to be a strong partisan of Caban annexation. General Sickles emphatically denies the assertion that his mission refers owly to Cuba. He insists that he has never broached tbe question of the cession of the island to the United States, but merely hip ted that the American Government is willing to interpose its friendly offices for tho settlement of Spain's difficulties with Cuba. A decree proclaiming liberty of worship in Cuba will appear in the Official Gazette to¬ morrow. It is probable Becerna or Romero will be sent to Cuba to resolve, on the spot, all questions of administration. The embarka¬ tion of reinforcements for Cuba hat comme .ic ed. It is confidently asserted that Admiral Topete will command the fleet. MADRID, September 21.-The4 cfiy journals are still violant against the presumed ucrriend- lintss of the American government, and some arge aa immediate declaration of war if the Cuban»* are recognized as belligerents. The Ministry, after discussing the propriety of re¬ turning 810x100' note unanswered, decided to postpone a reply until the arrival of Prim. TEAKex. PARIS, September 21.-The papers publish a letter from father Hyacinthe, address¬ ed to the Father General of his order at Borne, announcing that he abandons his con¬ vent and ceases to preach in the church of Notre Dame de Paris. The reason for this step he declares to be that he cannot obey the orders of the Holy See. He protests before the Pope and Council against the doctrine and practice of the Roman Church, which he coû¬ te ada are not in accordance with the princi¬ ples of Christianity. The bodies of six murdered persons, worn'rn and children, were fonod ia a field near Paris. The police have discovered no trace of the as¬ sassin. .Prince Metternich was received by the Em¬ peror yesterday. The Biron von Beast has aot yet arrived. NBWB PBOX WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, September 21.-The impres- | sion is gaining ground that Commissioner De¬ lano will urge in bis report the continuance of the present tax laws for further trial, though it is known that he favors some kind of tsx on cotton. Captain Sanderson is relieved from duty in tbe Department of the South, anl ordered to report to General Can by. The President will positively arrive at noon to-morrow. - The Virginia Banks have over ninety-four thousand dollars in specie, those of North Carolina over fifty-four thousand, South Caro¬ lina over fifteen thousand, Georgia over thirty¬ nine thousand, Alabama thirty-four thousand, New Orleans nineteen thousand, and Tex .s four hundred thoasand. THE OLD DOMINION. RICHMOND, September 21.-Governor Walker «as installed as Provisional Governor at the gubernatorial mansion to-day a.t noon, General Canby being present. Governor Wells turned over the office to the new incum jent, who took the iron clad and other of.ths of office. There were no ceremonies and 'io demonstration save the gathering of a considerable crowd of white and colored people to congratulate the new Governor, wbo shook hauls with them. Governor Walker's first appointment, m.* Je after his assuming the duties of bis office to¬ day, was that cf Captain Wm. E. Cameron, editor of the Petersburg Index, as his secretary. Captain Cameron was an officer in the Confed¬ erate crmy, and one of the first and most de¬ termined supporters of Walker and the Con¬ servative tickst in tbe late campaign. I A PIOUS FRAUD. NEW YOBK, Septembar 21.-The Methodist Book Concorn, No. 505 Broadway, is the loser of several hundred thousand dollars by cor¬ ruption and fraud. The deficit was discovered by the Rev. Dr. Lañaban, tbe uew agent. The frauds have been going on for eight or nine years, and seems to lie i J the fact that Dr. Porter allowed bis son", who was a paper bro¬ ker, to charge heavy commissions on the pur¬ chase of paper used by tbe establishment. Ir¬ regularities aie also reported in the bindiup department. The investigation is still in pro¬ gress. _ SPARKS TROX THE WIRES. Colonel J. H. Powell, the Colorado River explorer, bas returned to Chicago, having traversed the entire ground. There is a cc al miner's strike at Port Henry, New York. The strikers are continually at¬ tacking those employed. Several persons have been severely beaten. The danger to life and property is imminent. Tbe Pacific Express Company commences operations October lat. It is rerorted that tbe Central Pacific Railroad Company bas noti¬ fied other express companies^ hat they will not carry their fast freight a ft er that date. The officers of the Grand Lodge of Od'l Fellows in San francisco yesterday presented their reports, Which exhibit a gratifying con¬ dition of the Order, except in interior Southern States, where it is particularly bad. Tbe ex¬ tension of the Order in Australia bas been very successful. PERSONAL.

Relays of horses were stationed along the road, and late one night th9 lover pro¬ ceeded in a buggy tor. place near the premises of Brigham, wbere ll J lady wao to meet him, and they were to begin their flight. The old man bad got wind of tbe affair, however, and just as the damsel was about to join ber wait¬ ing lover, several policemen seized ber, and putting her into Brigham's family carriage, which was promptly at hand, she was driven back to the paternal home, to await there tbe destiny that Mormonism has in store for ber. -Mr. Joseph Jefferson, the actor, has already made a great many improvements upon tho country seat recently purchase ï by him in Hoboken, New Jersey. The house is an old- fashioned brown stone mansion, surrounded by beautiful grounds which run down to the shores ot Meadow-Mere Lake and Saddle River. The buildings, grounds and shrubbery have all bean redressed, the lake and river have been .tocked with bass and tiout, and Mr. Jefferson hts collected here all his books and pictures, bis splendid stud of horses, and his souvenirs of play and travel in all parte of the world. Here he will make his permanent home, and, surrounded by bis charming family, he will enjoy the fruits of bis labors and dispense an elegant hospitality to his troops of friend«. -Céspedes, the leader of the Cuban revolu¬ tion, is thus described by an American gentle» man who has returned from the island : "He is a man about forty-five years of age; is a middling stout gentleman, ot agreeable tem¬ per, and is quite mild mannered. His com¬ plexion is fair, though of dark brown bair and eyes. There is no pretence atÄ'ut him. He is no talker, yet when he speaks it is to (he pur¬ pose. He reads English well and speaks it, though not fluent!}*. At first view one would take him for a plain, quiet, unpretending gen¬ tleman; but on acquaintance he discovers sa¬ gacity and a profound knowledge ot men and of the world. It may be said that hs is a man of eminently practical ideas. He is unmoved at reverses, and bas a high, undoubting confi¬ dence in the success of the revolution. There ie u) gentleman more amiable than be, and one more beloved by everybody. Céspedes is a Urge property owner; was at the opening of the war the first lawyer at the Bayamo bar, and has been eminently successful in all his efforts and undertakings. ^ He can endure much, for his phyeique is well adapted to labor, either mental or physical. Perhaps be would weigh one hundred and fi (ty pounds." A COTTON PRESS IN BALTIMORE. The Baltimore Suo of Monday says: During the past few years tbe cotton trade of Baltimore has increased to such an extent that a press for the exclusive use of compres¬ sing the srreat S J ut hern product has become a matter of actual necessity here. It is well koo rn that much of the cotton landed here is in such a condition, from the bursting of the bales, that both the European steamers and sailing vessels refuse to receive it as freight, in consequence of its occupying too much room in the hold. In order to remedy the evil in this matter. Mr. Jerome S. Busk some time since leased tbe large warehouse at tho head Flannigan's wharf, fronting on the long dock and extending back to Mill-street, just at tbe point where the Charleston, Savannah, Wil¬ mington and Norfolk steamers land their car¬ goes, and has erected therein a cotton press of the most improved pattern, moved by hy¬ draulic power, with a thirty-horse power engine, at a cost, in all, of some twenty thor sand dollars. Ibis press is represented as being an improvement on the celebrated hy¬ draulic piesses now in ase in the principal Southern ports. The engine and machinery are certainly very fine, and it is claimed that the press, when in full operation, will be able to press a bale of cotton in two minóles. Having a water iront, tbe cotton as soon as Dressed can be placed lu scows and carried to tbe Eu¬ ropean steamers at Locust Point, or to stiling vessels at Fell's Point, with but little handling, and placed in tbe hole in as compressed a con¬ dition as it is possible to effect with cotton. The adjusting of tbe machinery is nearly com¬ pleted, and <t is understood that a public exhi¬ bit on will be given to merchants and shippers early in the coming week. Those interested in the cotton trade appear to be much pleased with the enterprise, affording facilities, as it does, to the trade of Baltimore in the grea t Southern staple. -Apropos of the Ooumenical Council that is to be, the following arrangements for the comfort of the loreign prelates invited are cnannteed by a writer in La Liberte to be correct: " lue bishops are to receive a dailv allowance for expensen, (frais desejour). rang¬ ing from ten to fl'teen france, say two or three dollars m gold, according to their rank. Be¬ sides wDich carriages will be provided, at the expense of tbe pontifical treasury, to take the prelalcj to the sessions of tbe council and to the ccramonies thev mav be required to attend aid to bring them back." LOBB AXD BABY BYRO*. NEW EVIDENCE PRODUCED BT LORD LINDSAY. Unpublished Letters from Lady Byron and landy Anne Barnard. The London Times, of the 7th instant, con¬ tains the following letter from Lord Lindsay, giving new evidence in relation to the Byron scandal, in the torm of unpublished letters from Lady Byron and Lady Anne Barnard: I'TO the Editor of (he Times: "SIE-Í have waited in expectation of a cate¬ gorical denial of the horrible chargé brought by Mrs. Beecher Stowe against Lord Byron aud his sister, on the alleged, authority of the late Lady Byron. Such denial has been only indirectly given by the letter of Messrs. Whar¬ ton and Fords in your impression of yesterday. That letter is sufficient to prove that Lady Byron never contemplated the u?e made of ber name, and tbat her descendants and represen¬ tatives disclaim any conntenance of Mrs, Beecher Stowe's article; but it does not specifi¬ cally meet Mrs. Stowe's allegation that Lady Bvron in conversing with her thirteen years ago affirmed the charge now bafbre us. It re- maina open, therefore, to a scandal-loving world to credit tho calumny through the ad¬ vantage of this flaw, involuntary, I believe, in the answer produced against it. "My object in addressing you is to supply that deficiency by proving that what is now stated JU Lady Byron's supposed authority is at variance in all respects with what she stated immediately after the separation, when every¬ thing was fresh io her memory in relation to the time during whiyb, according to Mrs. Beecher Stowe, she believed that Byron and bi3 sister were living together iu guilt. 1 publish this evidence with reluctance, but in obedience ta that higbor obligation of justice to the voiceless and defenceless dead which bids mo break through a reserve that other¬ wise I should-have held sacred. The Lady Byron ot 1818 would, I am certain, have sane, tioned my doing so had she foreseen the pres¬ ent unparalleled occasion, and thc bar that the conditions of ber will present (as I infer from Moosra. WliaUuu and Pord'a lotter) against any fuller communication. Calumnies such as the present sink deep and with rapidity into the public mind, and are not easily eradicated. The fame of one of our greatest poets, and that of the kindest and truest and most constant friend that Byron ever bad, is at stake; and it will not do to wait f ir revenions from the fountain-head, which are not prom¬ ised, and possibly may never reach us. "Thc late Anne Barjard, who died in 1*2 J, a contemporary and friend of Burke, Windham, DuQdas, and a host of the wise and good of that generation, and remembered in letters as the authoress of 'Auld Hobin Gray,' had known tho late Lady Byron from infancy, and,took a warm interest in her, holding Lord Byron in corresponding repugnance, not to say preju¬ dice, in consequence of what she believed to be his harsh and cruel treatment of her young friend. I transcribe the following passages and a letter from Lady Byron herself (written in 1818) from ricordi, or private family me¬ moirs, in Lady Anne's autograph, now before me. I include the letter, because, although treating only iu general terms of the matter and the causes of the separation, it affords col¬ lateral evidence beating strictly upon the point of the credibility of the charge now in ques¬ tion : «« «The separation of Lord and Lady Byron astonished the world, which believed bim a re- foimedmana8 to bis habits, anda becalmed man as to his remorses. He had written noth¬ ing that appeared after his marriage till the famous 'Fare thee well,' which had the power of compelling those to pity the writer who were not well aware that he was not the un¬ happy person he affected to be. Lady Byron's misery was whispered soon after her marriage and his ill-usage, bot no word transpired, no sign escaped from her. She gave birth shortly to a daughter, and when she went as soon as she was recovered on a visit to ber tether's, taking her little Ada with her, co one knew that it was to return to her lord no more. " 'At that period a severe fit of illness had confined me to bed for two months. I beard of Lady Byron's distress; of the pains he took to give'a harsh impression of her character to the world. I wrote to her, and entreated her to come and let me see and bear ber, if she conceived my sympathy or counsel could be any comfort to ber. She came -but what a tale was unfolded by this interesting young creature who bad so fondly boped to have made a young man of genius and romance (as she supposed) happy ! They had not been an hour in the carnage which conveyed them from the church, wheo, breaking into a malignant sneer. 'Oh ! what a dupe you have been to your imagination. How is it possible a woman of your sense could form the wild hope of re- torm'ng me? Many aro the tears yon will have to shed ere that plan is accomplished. It is enough for me that yon are my wife for me to hate yon; if you were the wife of any other man I own yon might have charms,' ¿c. "I. «ho listened, was astonished. 'How could you go on after this,' said I 'my dear? Why did you not return to your father's?' 'Be- causè I bad not a conception he was in earnest; because I reckoned it a bad jest, and told bim so-that my opinions of bim were very dif¬ ferent from bis of himself, otherwise he would not find me by bis side, He laughed it over when he saw mo appear hurt, and I forgot what had passed till forced to remember it. I nelieve he was pleased with rn?, too, for a lit¬ tle while. I suppose it had escaped his memory that I was bis wife.' But she described the happiness they enjoyed to have been unequal and perturbed. Her situation in a short time might have entitled her to some tenderness, but she made no claim on him for any. He sometimes reproached her for the motives that had induced her to marry him-all was 'vanity, the *anity of Miss Milbanke cirrving the point of reforming Lord Byron. He always knew her inducements; her pride shut her eves to bis; be wished to build up his charac¬ ter and his fortunes; both were somewhat de¬ ranged; she bada high name and would have a fortune worth his attention-let her look to that for bis motives.' *0, Byron, Byron,' she said, 'bow you desolate me 1" ".He would then accuse himself of being mad. aud throw himself on the ground in a frenzy, which she believed was affected to con¬ ceal the coldness and malignity of his hetrt- an affectation which at that time never failed to m"et with the tenderest commiseration. 1 could find by sonio implications, not followed up by me lest she might have condemned her¬ self afterwards for her involuntary disclosures, that he soon attempted to corrupt her princi- Eles. both with respect to ber own conduct and er latitude for his. She saw tho precipice on which she stood, and kept bis sister with her as much as possible. He returned in thc even¬ ings from the haunts of vice, where he made her understand he bad been, with manners so profligate ! 'Oh, the wretch !' said I, 'and had he no momenta of remoree?' 'Sometimes he appeared to bavo them.' " 'One night, coming home from one of bis lawless parties, he saw me so indignantly col¬ lected, and bearine all with such a determined calmness, that a rush of remorse seemed to come over him; he called himself a munster, tbo.ugb his sister was present, and threw him¬ self in agony at my feet. 'I could not-20-I CL did not forgive him such injune-. He had lost me forever.' Astonished at the return of virtue, mt tears, I believe, flowed over his lace, and I said, 'Byron, all is forgotten; never, never shall you hear of it more !' He started up, and, folding his arms while he looked at me. burst into laughter. 'What do you mean?' said I. 'Only a philosophical experiment, that's all,' 6aid he; 'I wished to ascertain the valU9 of vonr resolutions.' " 'I neednot say more of this prince of du¬ plicity, except that varied were his methods of reudericg Ler wretched, even to the last. When her lovely little child was bore? and it was laid beside its mother on the bed, and he wes :nrcrmed Le might see his daughter,' al- ter gazing at it witb an exulting emile, tl was the ejaculation that broke from him: "C what an implement of torture have I a equi r in you I" 8nch be rendered it by bis eyes a manner, keeping her in a perpetual alarm its safety when in bis presence. All this rea madder than I believe he was; but she bad r then made up her mind to disbelieve his pi tended insanity, and conceived it best to trust her secret with the excellent Dr. Baili; telling bim all that seemed to regard the st: of her husband's mind, and letting his advi regulate her conduct. " 'Baillie doubted of his derangement, bi as he did not reckon his own opinion infallib be wished her to lake precautions as if fa husband was so. He recommended ber coi; to the country, but to give lim no suspicion ber intentions of remainise there, and foi short time to show no coldness in her lette till she could better ascertain his Btate.

Z " 'It is sorrowful to think that in a very lill time thia young and amiable creature, wit patient and feeling, «ill have her cbaract ca istaken by every one who reads Byrot works. To reecue her from this I preserv her letters, and when she afterwards express a fear that anything of ber writing should ev fall into hands to injure him (1 suppose s! meant hy publication,) I solemnly assured h that it never should. But here this letter eh: be placed, a sacred record in her favor, u known to herself: LADT BSBON'l) LETTEB. "'I am a very incompétent judge of the ii pression which the last canto of Childe Haro may produce on the minds of indifferent rea era. It contains the usual trace of a conecien restlessly awake, thoogfa bis object has bei too long lo aggravate its burden, as if it con be thus oppressed into eternal stupor. I w hope as yon do, tbat it survives his ultima good. It was the acuteness of his remore impenitent in its character, which so lor seemed to demand from my compassion Bpare every semblance of reproach, every loc of grief, which might have said to his coi science, "You have made me wretched I am decidedly of opinion that be is reapons ble.

He is tbe absolute monarch c words, .m I uses them, as Bonaparte did lives for conquest, without more regard for their ir trinsic value, considering them only as cipher which must derive all their import from th situation in which lie places them, and th ends to which he adapts thom with such con eummate skill. Why, then, you will say, doe he not employ them to give a better color ti his own character ? Because he is toogood ai actor to overact, or to aesume a moral carl which it would be easy to strip off. In regor, to his poetry, egotism is the vital principle o his imagination, which it is difficult for him ti kindle on any subject with which his own char acter and interests are not identified; but b< the introduction of fictitious ^cidents. bj change of scene or time, he hasT veloped hi) "poetical disclosures m a system impenetrabli except to a very few, and his constant desiri of creating a sensation makes him not avérai to bethe object of wonder and cariosity, ever though accompanied by some dark and vague suspicions. '-Nothing has contributed more to the misun¬ derstanding of bis real character than the lonely grandeur in which bo shrouds it, und his affectai ion of being above mankind, when he exists almost io their voice. The romance of bis sentiments is another feature of this mask of state. 1 know no one more habitually destitute of that enthusiasm he so beautifully expresses, and to which bo can work up hie fancy chiefly by contagion. I had heard he was the best of brothers, the most gênerons of friends, and I thought such feelings on>v re¬ quired to be warmed and cherished into more diffusive benevolence. Though these opinions are eradicated, and oould never retnrn but with the decay of my memory, yon will not wonder if there aro still moments when the associations of feelings which arose from them soften and sadden my thoughts. " 'Bnt I have not thanked you, dearest Lad.v Annie, for your kindness in regard to a princi¬ pal object-that of rectifying false impressions. I trust you understand my wishes, which never were toinjure Lord Byron in any way; for, though be would not suffer me to remain his wife, he cannot prevent me from continuing his friend; and it was considering myself as such that I silenced the acensations by which my own conduct might have been more fully justified. It is not necessary to speak ill of bis heart in general; it is sufficient Lhat to me it was hard and impenetrable-that my own must have been broken before bis could have been touched. I would rather represent this as mr misfortune than as bis guilt; bat, sure¬ ly, that misfortune is not to be made my crime. Such are my feelings; you will judge how to act. "Bis alludions to me in Childe Harold are crnel and cold, but with such a semblance as to make me appear so, and attract all sympa¬ thy to himself. It ie said in this poem that hatred of him wi 1 bs taught as a lesson to his child. I might appeal to all who have ever heard me speak of him, and still more to my own heart, to witness that there has been no moment when I have remembered injury oth¬ erwise than affections'ely aud sorrowfully. It is not my duty to give way to hopeless and wholly unrequited affection; but, so long as I live, my chief struggle will probably be not to remember bim too kindly. 1 do not seek thc sympathy of tbe world, but I wish to bo known by those whoso op ul on is valuable aod whose kindness is dear to me. Among such, my dear Lady Anne, you will ever be remembered by your truly affectionate A. BIRO*. "It is tho provinca ot your readers and of the world at large to judge between the two testi¬ monies now before them - Lady Byron's in 1816 and 1818, and that put forward in 1869 by Mrs. B. Stowe, as communicated by Lady Byron thirteen years ago. In the face of the evidence now given, positivo, negative and cir¬ cumstantial, there can ba but two alternatives in tbe case-either Mrs. B. Btowo most have entirely misunderstood Lady-Byron, and been thus led into error and mi£-s'.aternont, or we must conclude that, under the pressure of a lifelong and eccret Borrow, Lidy Bvron'a mind hüd become clouded with an hallucination in respects of the particular point iu question. "Toe reader will admiro the noble bnteevere character displayed in Lady Byron's letter; but those who keep in view what her first impres¬ sions were, aa above reccrd'.-d, may probably placea more lenient interpretation than hers upon some of thc incidents alleged lo Byron's discredit. I shall conclude with some remarks upon his character, written shortly after his death by a wise, virtuous and charitable judge, the late Sir Walter Scott, likewise in a letter to Lady Anne Bsr.iard: " 'FieIchera account of poor Byron is ex¬ tremely interesting, i had akvavs a strong at¬ tachment to that unfoi (unite though most richly gifted man, because I thought I saw that his virtues (and he had many) were hie own, and his eccentricities tba result ol'an ir¬ ritable temperament which sometimes ap¬ proached nearly to mental dis¿a se. Those wu o aro gifted with strong nerves, a regular tem¬ per and habitual self-commuid ore not, per¬ haps, aware how much they owe to constitu¬ tion; and such are but too jevero judges ol men like Byroo, whose mind, like a day of al¬ ternate storm and sunshine, is all dirk shades and stray gleams of light iis'ead of the twi¬ light gray whicii illuminates happier though lese distinguished mortals. I always thought that when a moral proposition was placed plainly before Lord Byron his mind Melded a pleased cud willing assent to it, but if thero was any side view given in the way of raillery or otherwise, he wan willing enough to evade conviction. » ** It augurs ill for the cause of Greece that this master-spirit should have been withdrawn from their assistance just as he was obtaining complete neceedasoy over their counsels. I lave Been several letters from the Ionian Islands, all of which nnite in speaking in the lighest praise of the wisdom and temperance >f his counsels, aud the ascandancv he was ob- aining over tbe turbulent and ferocious chiefs )f the insurgents. I have some verses written JJ bim on bis last birthday; they breathe a spirit of affection towards his wife, and a de- lire of dying in battle, which seems like an an- icipation of his approaching fate.

THE CROPS IN KER-H AW.-The Camden Jour¬ nal says : During the present term of oar court we bave bad opportunities of conversing with per¬ sons from every part of our district, and learn¬ ing the prospect of the cotton crop, and from avery section the report is that the crop will be short, estimated variously at one-third to jne-half what it at one time promised. From increased acreage and the use of fertilizers, it iras expected that the crop would largely ex¬ ceed that of last year, but it is believed by many that it will not exceed, even if it reaches that amount. The corn crop, except in a few favored localities, will be very short. /nncral latir». DES PORT tS,-Died 21st september, 1869, WIL¬ LUM AUGUSTUS, eon of WILLI A. and MAUI T.

To the PtopU 0/South Carolina: The above Company was orgon'zed in 1866, in consequence of tho wholesale forfeiture or Southern policies by Northern companies. The unparalleled success of th-* enterprise has forced several of these companies to restore their Soutuern policies, from the fact that they could not operate in our midst without the appearance, of honesty. We keep all our money at home to build up our impoverished country-every dollar of premium being safely invested in the 8tste from which it ls de¬ rived. The institution is purely Southern, and hence should sppeal with great force lo the patriotism and and sympathy of every Southern heart. -Tis not our purpose to make war on other com¬ panies, but to exhibit the special advantages offered by this purely. Southern Company-founded on patriotism and solid wealth. Its ratio of assets to liabilities-the true test of a company's strength-la second to none on this continent, bein; nearly $300 to $100. Whenever and wherever we have presented the claims of tbis Company, lt has not only enlisted the sympathies of our people, but has also secured their hearty co-operation. We hare secured 600 policies In South Carolina since the 10th of February. We number among our Directors General Wade Hamp¬ ton and Colonel Wm. Johnson, gentlemen well known to every citizen of South Carolina. We ap¬ peal personally to the people of South Carolina to 'assist in pushing forward this deservedly popular Southern institution. J.

It is much easier to keep tbs ty-tcm io good condi¬ tion than to restore lt to that condition when shat¬ tered by disease. The "House of Life," like other bouses, should bc prompt y propped up and sus¬ tained whenever it shows any sign of giving wjy. The first symptoms of physic.! debility should be taken as a hint that a stimulant is required. The next question is, "what shall the stimulant be?" A wholesome vegetable tonic, tbe mlmalatin? properties of which are modifie ! by the juices and extracts of anti-febrile and laxative roots and herbs- something whi:b will regulate, soothe and purify, as well as invigorate-ls the medicine required by tbe debilitated.

It is only necessary lo consult the records of tho Cnitcd States Revenue Department to leam that its consumption is greater than that of any otb»r proprietary remedy of either native or f'ireijrn origin. Asa means of sustaining thc health and strength under a fiery temperature, the BITTERS have a paramount claim toco isideration.

So'omon's Bitters sro not of the flashy style, de¬ pending upon lai ge advertising, bought puffs and fictitious recommendations for a sale to a gullible public. Their composition is well known ta and ap¬ proved by many of our best physician?, and the pro¬ prietors depend upon the in'rinsic merita of their medicine to make lt as popular a» it U curative. They do net pretend t i oner a medicinal prepara¬ tion that will cu.-e all the ilia that flesh is heir to, but they do contend that the judicious use of these Hitters will greatly alleviate human suffering, and bring very mauy to a state of comparative health who have long been strangers to that gre a1 blessing. One eopd gf nnine recommendation o' any pro- fessed curative is worth dozens or h mdreds of bought certificates, and the Messrs. .SOLOMON9 have only published a few out of the hundreds of un¬ solicited testimonies which the have received.
