Degrading Effects of the War.
Oalhe morning of the 25th a Prussian force
deiced towards St. Calais, a Small town lying
o wta L: Mans and Blois. Some Franctireors
cite>ons who had been in the place, wished
bit. the enemy’s strength, so, ere they went
inv, they fired a few shots, which were an-
i v tierman shells. The Mayor hastened
atipUin that the town was not responsible for
gfjssi'Unce; bnt the Prussian commander
g-iititMtly silenced him, compelled tho in-
to pay 15,000 francs, and allowed the
to l>s pillaged by the soldiers, who gutted
place, inctnding the church. Twice al-
reiiv tad St. Calais suffered from tho heavy
sqdctions of tho invadors. Tho officer was,
id!proud of having done so good a stroke
rfChri-uaas work, and he must wonder at the
rath of an inhabitant who said, " I am a poor
us, but I would give one thousand pounds to-
sorroT to have the hanging of that Prussian
iriLis staff."
Jhe other story reveals, if possible, a more
cjsicti defiance of equity. On the 2d of Novem-
tirtle Prussian Prefect of Versailles told the
iliror and the corporation that they must de
bt: to the German authorities, by the 5th of
December, from .£12,000 to £20,000 worth of
sores. The terrified official immediately sent
airlegara to Germany to (jay the goods, which
by the •-''■th of November were brought as far
J Sucv. There they were stopped by a Ger-
cia official. Tho Mayor of Versailles was al-
Istetl by the Prefect to send a messenger with
fie vice of hastening the "transport; but still
fie storvs wr re-delamed beyond the appointed
cat. The Prefect, in consequence, fined the
Mp'ration £2,000, although it was the Prussian
cS.-ial who was to blame for the delay, and ho
intimated that the fine would be increased to
if tho goods did not come by the 5th of
Jiiiary. When the poor Mayor protested against
tic injustice, tho Prefect sternly rebuked him.
bleu ho appealed to Count Bismarck, he was
sent back to tho prefect. Then ho wrote to the
troxa Prince; but at the date of the latest ac-
tonnt.s ho had got no reply. Meanwhile tho
Nitor protests that ho and his councillors will
pto prison rather than submit to so monstrous
t injustice.—London Telegraph.

Knmor.s were rife in this city yesterday to tho
effect that the colored gentry of tho General As
sembly of South Garolina had assembled in can-
C15 and agreed and prepared articles for the
jppeachwent of Governor Scott, of South Caro-
bni. The charges upon which tho impeachment
to bo founded will bo drawn from the various
‘"sports and tho information acquired by the nu
merous investigating committees that have la
bored so assiduously the present session for the
8«od of the State. It is said that tho chief
wusea for complaint are that Scott will not “tote
in the division of “winnings”—that “heaps
of money has keen made, bnt tho black folks dont
pt none'—that “heaps of land has been bought

ters who had been threatening mischief since
tho failure of sortie on the 19th, gathered in
numbers around tho prison of Mazas, where
Flonrens, Milliers and other political prisoners
aro incarcerated, and, after various riotous de
monstrations, gathering courage, in the absence
of opposition, made a regular attack upon the
prison and beat down the gates with bludgeons,
stones and iron bars. ^ ^

leaving the jail free to the rioters, who opened
the cells, releasing the inmates, until' they

After parading the streets ruffianly, the crowd
stopped and Fiourens made descent upon tho

tho turbulent quarters of Belleville, St. Largean,
la Chaise and Charonne, intending to es
tablish tho headquarters of a revolutionary
movement, which it was hoped would <X‘end
over the whole city.
However, as the parade failed to draw any
large numbers of followers into active co-opera
tion, and finding those willing to plnnge into re
volution, were badly armed and almost destitute
of ammunition, the rioters abandoned their
movements.
Before dispersing, Fiourens called upon all
present to make oath to meet on Sunday at

demand possession of tho Government in the

Paris consents' to a parley, and is therefore
ready to capitulate. A correspondent of the
Times writes from Paris that there will cer
tainly bo more sorties, and probably it will re
quire a firm hand to prevent terrible tragedies,

informed mo that the capitulation of all the
Paris forts, and an armistice of three weeks by
sea and land, was signed about eight o’clock
last night, at Versailles, by Count Bismarck
and M. Jule3 Favre.
The army of Paris remain prisoners of war
in tho city, but it is not known whether they
are to bo disarmed or not. No details have
been received. Count Bernstoff think-a it jm.
portant that the fact of the armistice should be |
circulated as widely as possible.
New York, January 29.—Tho World’s special,
dated London 27th, says Favre wa3 in confer
ence with Bismarck at midnight. Bismarck car
ried his point. The capitulation involves peace
—the cession of Alsace and German Lorraine,
and part of tho fleet—a money indemnity to be
guaranteed by the municipalities—a portion of
the German army to return home, and tho war
is to cease. It is necessary that some territory
be retained to secure the fulfilment of the com
pact. The Mobiles are to be sent home and the
German army to enter Paris.
The London Times publishes the following:
Versailles, January 27.—An armistice is
agreed upon which is to extend immediately to

kill himself after his defeat at Belfort. His
injuries are so severe that his life is despaired

partists for the restoration of the latter.

New York, January 29.—The Herald's Hava
na special says: “The Porros surrender is re
garded as tantamount to ap end of the insurrec
tion. It is rumored that Gen. Bernabe de Varo-
na, better known as Bambeta, will soon follow
Porro3’ example. Dr. Justo Del Rise? and fami
ly, Mrs. Risco being an American lady, have
also surrendered themselves.
Gen. Pgrro is most kindly dealt with by tho
Spanish authorities, and his liberty in no way
restrained. Tho same lenient policy is also
manifested toward the prisoners captured from
tho Hornet—the Court Martial which tried them
sentencing only two of them to imprisonment
for six years. Tha othersix, all of whom were
Columbians, wore allowed to leave-the Island.
Havana, January 29.—Gen. Cavallio Porro

Cotton Movements for tho Weelc.
Washington, January 29.—No Southeastern
names were among the list lost on the Arthnr.
New York, January 29.—Tho cotton move
ments for the week were heavy both in receipts
and exports. The receipts at all the ports for
tho week were 150,800 bales against 146,887 last
week—132,685 the previous week, and 139,631
three weeks since. The total receipts since
September 1st, have been 2,198,213 bales against
1,730,509 for the previous year—showing an in
crease of 467,704 bales in favor of the present
season. The exports from all the port for the
week were 105,823 bales against84,666 the same
week last year. The total exports for the ex
pired portion of tho cotton year have been
1,325,309 bales against 922,807 last year. The
stock at all the ports is 560,612 bales against
489,905 at this date last year. The stocks at the
interior towns aggregate 128,243 bales against
98,040 last year. The stock in Liverpool is
572,000 bales against 300,000last year. Amount
of American cotton afloat for Groat Britain is
285,000 bales against 163,000 last year. Amount
of Indian cotton.afloat for Europo is 89,427
bales against 101,856 last year.
The weather South during the past week has
been generally pleasant and quite favorable for
picking operations. Advices from interior towns
report cotton pouring in from the plantations,
and at many points the warehouses are over
crowded. This has caused some change in the
estimates of tho crop. It is difficult to find any
'one now v bold enough to place the minimum
below 3,700,000 bales, and from this point the
estimates mn np to 4,000,000 bales.

Republicans in Congress.
A correspondent of the .Brooklyn Union—
understood to be a distinguished literary gen
tlemen from - the West, now on a visit to the
Capital—has elicited from “a very sagacious
member of the House of Representatives” the
following opinions: First—“Wo have had no
leader since old Thad. Stevens died.” Second—.
“Butler is a noisy man, unscrupulous, cunning,
infinite in resources; of unabashed" front, and
as fond of notoriety as a toper is of his cups.
No. one can deny that he has brains—just as
good brains as can be had without a conscience.
But he does not leadus.” Third—“Mr. Dawes
is a strong man in tho House—strong by his
long membership and the prestige of great ex-
E erience, and by his industry, and by the credit
e enjoys of being an honest man. He is not
a great man. No one ever accused him of that.
But his opinion on many subjects is really of
great weight with us. And yet. his opin
ion would be more valued if he. was more
economical with it. He bostows it too lav
ishly. In short, he talks too much.” Fourth
—“Banks has the carriage, tha dashing pres
ence of'an uncommon man. He often bodies as
if he knew more than he would willingly tell.
Indeed, I am sometimes reminded of what Fox
said to Lord Thurlow: ‘No.man ever was so
wise as Thurlow looks.’ -Banks has a magnifi
cent voice; and on tho whole he is the most
brilliant orator on the floor. But oratory—who
cares for oratory any more? Legislation is com
mittee work; and the fine orator is now bnt a
carpet knight. Banks is a man whose" glory is
in the past.”—Fifth: “Garfield.has on his «KIo
youth, splendid health, learning, high spirit,
great power of application ana good habits.
Garfield may feel happy whether he looks cither
way—into the past or into the future.” These
opinions certainly have the benefit of great pos
itiveness and frankness in their expression.
Who Knows Him ?
We find the following in a recent issue of the
Norfolk Journal:
Mysterious.—About two years - ago a young
man from Georgia visited South Mills, North
Carolina, to remove the remains of his brother,
who had been killed daring the war in the Con
federate service. The young manhad plenty of
means and remained at the house of a suspi
cious character, who, it is supposed, murdered
him for his money, as nothing has been heard
from him since he was seen in company with
the party suspicioned. The fellow alluded to is
a notorious character, and was arrested daring
tiie war by Colonel Hinton’s command for rob
bery. Detectives are on his track, and we look
for some startling developments soon.
Shares or Wages.—Bainbridge has a colored
debating society. Reoently its members dis
cussed tho comparative advantages to laborers
of stated wage3 or part of the crop. The argu
ments were so good that th« Judges, decided
that wages were betf« for some men, and a
part of the crop- -tor others. The club has set
an example to others worthy of imitation, in dis
cussing questions of practical interest. The
Judges accomplished doubtless what no others
ever did, for both sides must have been satisfied
with the decision.
Grass vs. the Western.—A planter in
Sumter county stated to us that he put Into a
lot containing twenty mules an ample supply
of Western hay and of hay made from crab-
grass gathered last Fall in his. own fields. The
FAEMSHS.and TEAMSTERS,
There are NINE SEASONS why you should buy
the above wagon!
FIRST—They are made of the best selected Indi
ana Timber, thoroughly seasoned under cover.
SECOND—They are made by experienced free
labor, and not by convicts.
THIRD—Tho tightest running and most durablo
Wagon in tho market.
FOURTH—Their thimble ekeina never break,
while all others do.
FIFTH—Most uniform and best proportioned
Wagon in market; any part of ono will fit another,
while other makes will not.
SIXTH—The only Wagon in which the Slope
Shoulder Spoke is used; hence they have the best
wheel, which is actually the foundation of the Wag
on, and should be carefully examined by persons
buying.
SEVENTH—They are sold only by responsible
parties, and every Wagon is warranted to give en
tire satisfaction.
EIGHTH—Because Teamsters will tell yon they
aro the best Wagon, for all purposes, on tho road.
NINTH—Last; bnt not least—Stndebakor Broth
ers are practical men, attend to their business per
sonally, and do not entrust it entirely to Foremen,
as is generally the caso in large Faotorios; hence
tho superiority of their work over all others.

FARMERS. LOOK TOYOUR INTERESTS.
HOME-MADE
FEETIII Z EB.
W HY cannot oveiy intelligent farmer organize
a guano company on his own farm, he and his
laborers taking all the stock ?. There is no planta
tion in tho country that docs not afford ample and
the richest material to be used as a basis. Tho
chemicals uocessary to utilizo its material aro well
known, and can be obtained in abundance. The
enterprise and energy of a few practical men have
the past season proven that as good or bettor Com
or Cotton can be made from the Home-Made Fer
titizer as maybe yielded by any of tho nostrums
sold at such extravagant prices.
Experience shows that where lot manure or other
rich deposite can be obtained, it answers a better
purpose than dry swamp earth. In that caso eight
(8) barrels of the lot manure" should be used with the
quantity of chemicals, bones, etc., instead of Ato (5)
barrels of dry muck. This improves the quality and
lessens the price of the fertilizer, by increasing the
weight. Some have added pure Peruvian Guano to
the compound, in the proportion of 150 to 200
pounds, but five or Bix bushels of cotton seed has
been found to be of equal service as tho Peruvian,
and is much cheaper. In all cases, the Bones and
Plaster of Paris shonld first bo well mixed with tho
Lot Manure or rich earth, and then the barrel of
mixed chemicals dissolved in a tittle water
and thoroughly incorporated. The Chemicals,Bones,
Plaster of Paris, etc., sold by us, we guarantee to
be of the very best quality. We call particular at
tention to our preparation of Bones, as it is Bono
dissolved in Sulphuric Acid, and dried with Bono
Charcoal. As there will be an active demand for
these, chemicals, parties who wish a supply shou'd
send in their orders early. Terms cash, or credit
with approved acceptance.
