our soldiers. * * * Before

by order, the smouldering fires set by
Hampton’s order were rekindled by the
wind and communicated to the buildings
around. About dark they began to spread
and got beyond control of the brigade
on duty within the city. The whole of
Wood’s division was brought in, but it
was found impossible to check the flames,

A correspondent writing from Charles

description of that famous locality :
In the center, in mid channel, like it
grim sentinel, stands Fort Sumtor, bowed,
broken and desolate. A shapeless pile
of earth and sand, and brick, it bears no
likeness to its former self. V\ here the
new cross of the Confederacy and the
palmetto flag of South Carolina and the
division flag of Gen. Ripley were so proud
ly flying in April aud July of eighteen
hundred and sixty-three, only one single
banner, and that the red, white and blue,
now waves.
Scarred and cracked, its walls seem
ready to fall. The face toward Cum-
miiig’8 point is crushed and broken into
a steep hill of mingled sand, and brick,
and shot, and shell. The face toward
Fort Moultrie is a solid work of inter
woven palmetto logs. Yet the structure
of the fort is scarred and cracked and
brokeu above and around and behind
these additional defenses. The case
mates, closed aud covered by immense
framework of heavy beams, and this again
thick with earth, can be entered only by
winding passages, damp and dripping with
moisture. The casemates once entered,
it would hardly seem possible that any
human being could have lived any
length of time within them. The guns
were slimy and mouldy, and the carriages
were sweating with a slimy moisture.
Climbing out of the stone port hole
ring and tumbling in the endeavor , and through the more widely extending
their clothing and some of their j one in the Palmetto logs, you could look

old plantations and most of fne:® asav
now be found in the fields at work.
Turning to the opposite sex, we find
400,000 between the ages of 18 and 45
years. And how are we to account for
them ? Go, ink-sheading Bohemian, to
the coasts of Carolina and Georgia. Fol
low the trail to Gen. Sherman’s grand
march to the sea from Atlanta. Go to
Mobile, Nashville, Memphis, Vicksburg,
Savannah, Jackson, Baton Rouge, Mon
roe, Shreveport, Alexandria, and this
city. Visit the grave-yards in our towns
and villages and ask who sleeps there. It
will be easy to account for the disappear
ance of 100,000 negro women—poor ig
norant oreatures who left their homes to
follow triumphant armies, but perished of
cold hunger aud fatigue, ere the bliss of
freedom had become theirs. We are
speaking now of the grown up women.
The children who followed them fell by
the way side, and slumber in umarked,
unconseerated graves. To seek guaran
tees for their promised freedom, 25,000
have gone North, East and West, and
125,000 are about cities, towns and vil
lages, washing, cooking, or following far
less creditable occupations.
This would leave 150,000 effective fe
male laborers in the rural districts. Of
boys and girls between the ages of 10
and 18 years, there are perhaps 100,000
half of whom arc either unemployed or are
loitering about towns and villages. We

crackers. [Renewed laughter.] The
case was decided in my favor. When I
heard the decision, I thought the dog had
followed me about long enough—I turn*-
ed round and gave him a kick. [Laugh*-
ter.]
The yelp of that dog had hardly sub
sided ere I heard the Judge say : “ Mr.
Clerk, this judgment is set aside and a
new trial granted.” [Great laughter.]
Mr. Speaker, that kick cost me two hun
dred dollars ! [Convulsive laughter ]
You have no doubt seen a suit in a Jus
tice’s court in the country ? There
time spent by jurora and hangers-on, be
sides other costs, at fifty dollars, besides
the ill-feelings and dissensions caused by
it. It is all a cheat. The litigants had
better sit down and play a game of old
sledge to decide the case. It would be

We must now take into consideration
the number of white persons who will de
vote their attention to cotton raising. In
the cotton States, there were about 250,-
000 white men at the commencement of
the war, who, if so inclined, might have
devoted their attention to the raising ot
cotton. Ot this number 100,000 have
been killed or disabled during the war,
but their places have to some extent been
supplied by the growth of boys. We
think it would be a large estimate to al
low 200,000 white laborers fur the cot
ton fields during the present season. If
so, we have a total effective force of 485,-
000 cotton raisers.
The next question is—liow much cot
ton can we reasonably expect to be raised
per hand ? Statistics show that in 1840,
with a force of 600,000 laborers, out
crop was 1,800,000 bales, or three bales
per hand. When the laboring force
doubled between 1850 and ’CO, the crop
proved to be 4,500,000 bales, equal to
:i| bales per hand. What then shall be
our estimate lor the present year? We
must remember that there is a scarcity of
stock and agricultural implements ; that

A Sensation—Not Q,uite Married.
On last Sabbath afternoon Rev. Mr.
Davis was called upon to join in the
bonds of wedlock, two persons of African
descent. He went to the church lor that
purpose, which was crowded beyond all
precedent, with an excited and expectant
concourse of “ Ebonies.” The “ happy
couple stood up before the altar, attended
by twelve or fourteen maids and men.
It was evident that something was out
The officiating minister began—we are
assembled in the presence ot God, &c.—
but when he came to that paTt of the
ceremony which demands—“ If any one
can show just cause why they may not be
legally joined together in matrimony, let
him now speak or ever hereafter hold his
peace”—a voice from behind the minis-
istcr said in a full clear tone, “I object—
that man is iny lawful husband.” Of
course there was a decided sensation.—
The minister, thus cheeked in the cere
mony, enquired, “ who is the objector?
—let her come forward.” She come up,
faced the groom, and said, “ I was mar
ried to that man and can prove it; I
object to his marrying that woman.”—
With fallen crest and disappointed hope,
the coming couple were dismissed to
moralise upon the old saying—there many
a slip ’twtx’t the cup and the lip.
Later.—The marriage did come off.
Not to be outdone in the matter of so se
rious import the couple that tried to be
come one before Rev. Mr. Davis, preced
ed to search for another minister, and
finding one were united in the holy bands
of matrimony. The first wife “ so call

joined hands and were declared man and
