LUMBER.
ippe lumber business seems to be the great

article in our paper of to-day, it will be seen
that tho lumber mills on the seacoast cannot Hi!
the great demand.
jfpue tax on cotton is enforced, then many will

the raising of iice - Our lumber however, is the
best iu the world, and will always command a

CROP PROSPECTS.
Iliins s di continue at intervals. Our planters
are terribly in the grass. A gentleman just from
Albany informs us that from Macon to that point
Con. Green has swept over the entire country.
That prospects are more gloomy than ever.
(Correspondence of the Southern Recorder.)
Charleston. S. C. Mhv, 1866.
A stranger, as in duty bound, is apt to value
courtesies, and these I love to acknowledge, not
a* a mere act of justice, but for the happiness the
rcc.illftlion affords. Within a few days after my
arr ival, I called at the book-store of Mi. .John Rus
sell on King street, to examine certain works
which had been published during the war, and
which 1 had no opportunity of seeing. He kind-
jv tendered me free access to his well stocked
shelves below and above stairs, dui iug my visit to
the city 7 , a privilege which enabled me to pass
many pleasant hours in reading. Mr. Courtenay 7 ,
m broad Street extended similar civilities, which
demand acknowledgment. At his store I saw the
niliml Report, a large volume, by Gen. Q. A. Gil
more, ot bis operations before Chaslestou, includ
in': the number and strength of his batteries, the
calibre of his guns, the weight of ammunition
used at each discharge, the angle and range, to
gether with the accidents ard execution of each
piece, the landings and approaches on the Islands,
the storming of Forts and batteries, the frequent
repulse, the gradual demolition of Fort Sumter,
the failure of the navy in most instances, and the
whole programme from day to day, for the re
duction of Charleston by the Federal troops un-i
derhis command from 1863 to 1835. The facts
embraced iu the Report abundantly prove the
successful resistance made by a small baud of
Confederate heroes, to an enemy overwhelming
in numbers and in all the appliances of war. I
have hoard it casually hinted that Admiral Dal-
phren feels himself aggrieved by the Report, as do-
iug injustice to the Navy, and that he intends to
make a public statement of Ids own, to correct
errors and supply omissions. There is, no doubt,
an abiding jealousy between these two arms of
the public service, which we cannot fail to res
pect.
In addition to my literary enjoyments at the
book-stores, I had the pleasure of an introduction
to the ‘‘Charleston Library Society,” which was
formed June 13, 1748, and at its Centennial anni
versary in 2848, the late James Louis Peticrd,
LL. D., delivered the Oration in Dr. Bachman’s
Church, where an Ode, composed for the occasion
by Miss M. A Lee, was rendered to the music c>f
organ and choir. Before the war, the Library
contained about 36,000 volumes, which were box
ed up and sent oil for preservation during the
bombardment. Some 12,000 volumes have been
returned; 20,000are absent, which are expected
back in a short time, and 4,000 have been lost.
Some of the volumes on hand were printed in
Bill, others iu 1467, 1600, 2509 *fc., including an
edition of Shakespeare of 1632. 1 was shown
tiie original “Laws for the government of South
Carolina," in the hand writing of John Locke,
the great English philosopher. The manuscript
h very neat, and was prepared about the year
B'»63. Files of newspapers for the last hundred
years, more or less imperfect, have been preserv
ed. and are found useful in settling questions of
Ltory, aside from their value as political annals.
1 have not space to describe the very judicious
Classifications of the volumes, so as to make access
t'Jthem convenient. The collection of “Reviews,”
English, Scotch and American, ein bracing the
"bole series, Jills one side cf a large room. The
Kbes of many of the books are quite curious and
amusing, especially those of ancient date, of which
H specimen is here given, copied word for word

Thm o is a record of visitors from 1835, contain
ing the names and residence cf gentlemen intro
duced to the Society, and the names of the mem
bers introducing them, thus forming credits aud
responsibility iu autographs. In 1837 appeared
the name of H. B. Croom of Florida, who gradu
ated at the University of North Carolina in 181(5.
He married a lady of large fortune in Newborn,
iu October 1867, while returning from Neiv York
in ith his Wife and two beautiful daughters, (the lat-
tei having just completed their education, aud be
ing bis only children^ they all perished on the
steamer “Home,” ori Cape Hatteras. Survivor
ship by the wife would have cast the estate on her
next of kin, while on the other Land.ifMr. Croom
survived his wife even one moment, the whole
property would enure to his uext of kin. A law
suit followed, and after litigating the question
twenty years, the parties compromised, and each
took a liberal share. Mr. Croom was a gentle
man of high literary accomplishments, aud this
reference to him was prompted by tbe autograph,
under a natural law of association, which, if ex-
terded'to all the other suggestive names, might
till a large volume of the most interesting person
al history.
Achilie Murat, of Florida, was introduced by
H. S. Lcgare in 1840. Col. Murat was tbe son of
Joachim Murat who married a sister of Napoleon
Bonaparte, and was his Chief of Cavalry in Egypt,
and afterwards King of Naples, iu which capacity
he was snot in 1815 by order of the restored Mon
arch, after the battle of Waterloo. Other signa
tures ot distinguished men are of record, which I
caD barely notice, without enlarging, viz :
1840—Rev. J. H. Thornwell, of Columbia whose
rare faculties have secured imperishable renown.
1842—lion. George W. Crabb, a Representative
in Congress from Alabama.
1824—Seven natives of China, three of whom,
ling, Kong and Chi, wrote their titles and resi
dence iu characters which I am unable to trans
late.
2844—Baron de Geroldt, Prusian Minister, to
the United States.
1847 May 20—lion. Daniel Webster was intro
duced by Richard Yeadon,Esq.
1847— George R. G lid Jon, former Consul of the
U. S. at Alexandria, and author of Antiquities of
Egypt. %
1848— Rev. William Flinn, then of Demopolis,
Ala , but now Pastor of the Presbyterian Church
in Milledgeville, Georgia: introduced by the liev.
Dr. Sniythe. Mr. F. is the nephew of tiie Rev.
Andrew Flinn who in 1821, founded the Second
Presbyterian Church in Charleston, of which Dr.
S. has been Pastor, sinco 2832.
1850— Solon Robinson of New York, an intelli
gent and useful writer on Agriculture and other
kindred subjects.
Jefii—Francis B. Fogg an eminent lawyer of
Nashville, Tennessee; introduced by F. Rut
ledge, Esq.
1852—Chevalier Hulseman, Ambassador from
Austria to the United States; introduced by the
Hon. Mitchell King. The Chevalier provoked a
letter from Mr. Webster Secretary of State under
President Fillmore’s administration, relative to in
tervention with Hungary, which will forever as
sociate his name as a diplomatist with that of his
victorious correspondent.
1852—Prof. A. D. Bache, Chief of tlioU. States
Coast Survey, and a great-graud-sou of Dr. Frank
lin.
1852—lit. Rev. Bishop. Polk of Louisiana, since
a Lieutenant General in tbe Confederate army,
who was killed in battle near Altoona, Georgia,
June 14, 18G4.
1852—Edmund Ruffin of Virginia, whose pen,
by improving worn out soils, lias made him a pub
lic benefactor. Permitted by Gen. Beauregard to
tire the first gun at Fort Sumter in 1861, which
kindled the war, Mr, Ruffin was so mortified at
tbe downfall of the Southern cause, that life be
came insupportable, and he committed suicide
soon after the surrender of Gen. Lee’s army.
1852—Hon. Hamilton Fish, cx-Governor of New
York, and formerly a member of Congress.
1 iri5r>—Rev. Dr. Choules of England, a man of
vigorous intellect and ripe scholarship—a pupil
in theology of tbe celebrated Robert ilall.
1856—O. A, Brovvnsou, of Boston, a writer in
support of the transcendental philosophy, distin
guished for originality of thought, and compact
ness aud beauty of style. lie solved his doubts
on religious creeds by taking refuge in the Church
of Rome. Introduced by the lit. Rev. Bishop
Lynch.
1 i8i56—Rev. Orville Dewey, an eloquent Unita
rian Clergyman of New York, and author of “Dis
courses,” aud other works whose titles I do not
now remember.
1858—Charles Mackay, of London, poet, who
delivered lectures iu the principal cities of tbe
United (States. Introduced by the Hon. George
S. Bryan.
1858—Hon. George Bancroft, ex-Minister to
London, ex-Secretary of tbe Navy, and Historian
of the United States. Introduced by Judge
Bryan.
1851— D. L. Swain LL. D., President of the
University, and ex-Governor of North Carolina.
I copied these names from a great number,
many of which arc known to fame. After the war
began, the list of visitors seems to have been par
tially suspended, and the first name after the ter
mination of the contest, is entered April 23d,
1866, as iu the mean time the Library was almost
disfurnished. The present officers of the society
are ,—Hon. T. L. Huchinson, President; Dr. Wil
liam T. Wragg, Vice President; William G. Maz-
yck. Librarian ; Alexander H. Mazyck, Treasur
er, and Hon. J. Simons, Solicitor. The very cour
teous and intelligent Librarian afforded me all the
attention which one gentleman could desire from
another. He was the. only officer I saw in tbe
Library building, which is kept-open from 10 to
2 o’clock daily, for the accommodation of mem
bers of the society, and visitors properly intro
I have already occupied so much space, that it
will be impossible to do justice, iu this letter, to
other institutions. Tbe department of Natiiin
History in the South Carolina College, collecttd
in most part and arranged by Prof. F. S. Holmes, is
very extensive and interesting ; nor can I notice
as they deserve the semi-weekly Lectures in the
College Chapel by the several Professors. The
Medical College I have not yet visited, nor
have I any information concerning its futnre,
beyond what is afforded by tbe pub!ishcd.cards of
ti.e Faculty announcing the time and character of
the exercises. Nor ought I to pass o\er iu silence
tbe many Public Charities which receive a liberal
support, even at this period of crushing adversity
to the citizens as the result of war. I should be
Had to not : ce also the very efficient Ministry in
the several churches, and to r»y my respects in
due form to the legal profession, whose members
here are distinguished for ability and social ac
complishments. Among the Physicians are sev

and as a class they are noted for intelligence and
genorosity.
Strolling in King street, my eyes rested on a
sign, No. 233, Pratt & Wilson Brothers, Southern
Importing and Manufacturing Drug House, }
stepped in and renewed tny acquaintance with
Dr. N. A. Pratt, formerly Professor in Oglethorpe
University, Georgia, ;uid Chemist to late C. S. Ni
tre and Mining Bureau. One of his partners, P.
B. Wilson, Is a graduate of Philadelphia College
of Pharmacy, and Chemist to late C. S. Ordnance
department. Mr. S. W. Wilson is the remaining
partner, aud all are native Georgians. They keep
on hand a large fresh stock of articles iu their line
w hich they are prepared to soli on as favorable
terms as can be lrad in tbe market. Merchants
from Georgia would do well lo trade with Charles
ton, and to give No. 238 a call.
The quantity of shipping in peri denotes an ac
tive business ; yet the merchants generally com
plain of a languid market. I see a great many
drays and vehicles in motion, laden with goods
for the rail road depots which 1 take to be
a good sign. As a thoroughfare for the retail of
fashionable goods, and for toot passengers. King
Street is tbe Broadway of Charleston. Late in
the afternoon, of a genial day, the exhibition of
pretty faces and taseful costumes among the la
dies, is quite refreshing. The Battery has lost
something of its former attractions as a prome
nade, by reason of certain sand mounds erected
for defence across the seawall. The seats for ac
commodation under ti.e shade trees have been
destroyed by tbe soldiers, and the children with
their nurses are particularly disappointed thereby.
Music by the U. 8. band enlivens this popular re
sort each Saturday afternoon.
In my former letter I intimated that I had much
to say 7 of Charleston. Its patriotic associations
are inexhaustible. Volumes could be filled, and
I hope that some writer of competent qualifications
will perform the task, whiie facts can be speci
fied by living witnesses. Such materials for his
tory should not he allowed to perish. But I must
close, as my departure is at hand. M.

Postmasters in Georgia.
We publish below a fall list of all the commis
sioned postmasters in the State. The postal laws
forbid the delivery of the mails at any office unless
tilled by a regularly commissioned postmaster,
aud we understand that tbe Department has is
sued orders requiring hereafter tiie rigid eiuorco-
ine.it of the law, which will put an end to ihe
somewhat loose arrangements that have iu certain
cases been permitted at the (south since the resto
ration of Federal service. A mere appointment
confers no authority to receive or handiethe mails.
As other postmasters are commissioned we are
promised farther lisis from time to time for publi
cation. It will bo seen that nearly all the impor
tant offices in Georgia are already in full opeia-
lion.
We are indebted to Mr. P. H. Woodward, one
of the special agents of the Post Office Depart
ment, and a most efficient officer, for this impor
tant information. Mr. W. has labored hard iu
Georgia, aud for Geoigia, with much success, tor
the re-establishment oi' postal facilities iu the
State. That he has not accomplished more is not
his fault.—Atlanta Intelligencer.

Washington, June 8.—The final report of the
Reconstruction Committee., setting forth the rea
son for the action of the majority, was read before
ooth Houses fo-day. The conclusions of the Com
mittee are briefly that tbe people of the South bad
proved themselves insurgents and traitors, aud
forfeited :.!i tlufir political rights and privileges ;
and that the so called Confederate Siates are not
.■lititied to representation in Congress, and that
be o e allowing it adtqnrJe security for future
peace and secured should be required from them,
a id to s can only be found iu the organ c law as
shall determine the civil rights and privileges Ot
tiie citizens in all parts of the public, and that rep
resentation should be on p.n eqnitablebasis. j
A sf’grca should be fixed on treason, and protec
tion given to loyal people against ati future claims
for expenses incurred in the rebellion and for
slaves emancipated by the war, together with
an express grunt of power m Congress to enforce
these proceedings to this end. The Committee
advocates Joint Resolution amendatory of tiie
Constitution aud two separate bilis designed to
carry the same rules into effect. The Committee
claims, in conclusion, that these* bills are t!io re
sult. of conciliation and concession.
The reports arc signed by ten Republican ^mem
bers, the dissentants are Senator Johnson, Repre
sentatives Grider and Rodgers.
A Novel Enterprise.—We saw yesterday, up
on the river near the gas works, the herds of a
novel grist mill, which we understand Capt. Mc
Allister is building. It is to be a floating mill,
moored iu tbe river where the current is swift and
strong, aud the motive power to be tlm water in
its natural course, wirhout tall or artificial race.
The plan we- understand to be t<< place two flat-
bottomed keels near together, heading up stream,
with only a narrow passage between them. I hose
will have a draught of several feet, aud the water
running betw een them, where tiie current is nat
urally swift and deep, will constitute a race ot
much velocity and power. Between those two
keels will be the water wheel, with a set ot mill
stones on either side of it on the floating hulls.
We never heard of such an application of water
power on a large scale before, but tbe principle
appears to be a correct one, and we have very lit
tle 1 doubt of the entire success of the enterprise.
