A Cask kou Giiakity. —General Butler, In
Ins recent speech before the Legislature at Har
risburg, uttered this declaration:
“We had conquered the South—conquered
them ol all their rights, except one—the right to
he hanged. Ho had impoverished himself, and
shed the blood r of a brother and son in defense
<>t the great principles for which they had
fought, and he, for one, would never yield, un
less some ol the leaders in the rebellion were
hung.”
Here is a case for charity-—a hero “impover
ished in the service of his country. Pprsons
desirous of assisting the indignant imp to make
a fresh start in the world can send contribu
tions to this otlice. It is rumored that the la
dies o| New Orleans arc about to hold a fair ia
aid of the good work. —Philadelphia Aye.
Dhunkknxbs.s in the Senate.— The Radi
cals are demanding the expulsion of Mr. Me-
Dougal, of California, from the Senate, on the
ground that his intemperate habits unlit him to
discharge the duties of Senator. Will they also
ask, for the same reason, that Chandler, and
Wade, and Howard, and Nye, and Jim Lane, and
Yates and Sprague be expelled? Will the
newspapers in this State, which arc vehemently
indignant over the alleged misconduct of Me-
Dougal, expostulate with Governor Oglesby?
We make no defense of drunkenness in Demo
cratic Senators, but we want Abolitionists to
clean their own door-steps before making a
clamor over what is unsightly in others. Will
they rebuke their own whisky-bloated partisan
leaders ?—-Chicago Times.
I'aper pipes possess great advantages over
others, for many purposes. They are highly
glazed inside, and thus diminish friction, are im
pregnated with bitumen, and therefore not at
tacked by insects or asides. Besides these
points of superiority, they are sufficiently elastic
to permit water to freeze in them without burst
ing, and pipes of three, four and five inches
diameter and a half inch thickness, have with
stood a pressure five hundred pounds to the
square inch. TliW‘ pipes are made bypassing
a strip of paper through molten bitumen, and
then winding it around a mandril under pres
sure. They have been used with great success
in Paris, pipes as large as two feet in diameter
having been laid in the streets. Both gas and
water companies have used them.
Manufactures in South Carolina.
Since the abolition of slavery, and the con
sequent decline of our agricultural interest, the
importance of proper manufacturing facilities
Inis been more generally acknowledged, and ,
she whole subject of manufactures has com
manded a greater share of public attention than
ever before. Recognizing the value of proper
information on this subject, we have colllected
from the most trustworthy sources the follow
ing facts in regard to the condition of various
manufactories in South Carolina:
Mr. Jolm W. Grady and his partners, who
<>wn seven mills in the upper portion of the
Stale, are rebuilding and repairing their old
mills, and have also lately purchased the line
granite mill near Pendleton, which they are put
ting in thorough working order. So large and
extensive an organization of capital for manu
facturing purposes jnot. only shows that an in
terest. is taken in the subject, but it is the best
proof tluit our State possesses manufacturing
advantages of no mean order.
Thel.ester factory on the Ennoree, ami the
factories at Batesville on the Ennoree, at Craw
lordsvillcon the Middle Tiger, and at Bivings
ville—all in Spartanburg District, have been in
operation during the war, and have turned out
many yards of cloth Tor the Confederate Gov
ernment. Immediately after the cessation of
hostilities their enterprising owners |set to
work lo replace their worn-out material with
new and improved machinery, and the factories
have been at work for some time, though all
the improvements have not been completed.—
When the new crop of cotton is gathered they
will he able to do good service for the District
and State. .•
Mutel's. J». IV. Childs ft Co erfi rebuilding
the Saluda Factory, burned by Sherman, ana
will, by next all, have an entirely new set of
mill machinery, which is now being made at the
North.
Messrs. James J. Gregg & Co. are enlarging
their line factory at VaueluSe, and adding great
ly to its efficiency witli the very best machinery.
The Biflh paper mill, which was accideutlly
destroyed by lire in May, 1803, has been entire
ly rebuilt, and is now working night and day
on a tine class of book paper to till Northern
orders.
The popular and well known President of
the Gnmiteville Company, Mr. William Gregg,
has been in Europe for months past superin
tending the construction of works which will
greatly improve and increase the production of
the mills of that company.
The new enterprise known as Kalmia Mills,
of which company Benjamin F. Evans is Presi
dent, are pushing their works rapidly towards
completion, ami will lie prepared to begin
. manufacturing before the new crop of cotton
comes to market. This is the largest manufac
turing business ever started in tills State, and
when completed will consist of one writing
paper mill, one printing paper mill, and one
cotton factory of twenty thousand spindles and
five hundred looms. All the machinery will be
of English construction, and built to the order
of the President of the company, who went to
Europe last summer for the purpose of exam
ining their system of manufacture and ordering
'he machinery. It will be of the very best to
be had in any part of the world. These mills
are on the same stream as Vaucluse, Granite-'
ville and Bath, and are between the latter places.
The stream affords a find water power,and will
tie used to drive the. works ot the company, as
it noiv does of all the others on it.
By far the larger number—if not ail the oper
atives employed in these various factories—are
natives of the surrounding country, and white
people exclusively are employed. Negroes un
doubtedly lind work in connection with the
factories, but they are not what* ai# strictly
called operatives.
In connection witli these facts we woflid
briefly notice, first, the immense capital which
is necessary to carry on so many large establish
ments. Secondly, that one of the mills is manu
facturing for Northern orders large quantities of
tine book paper, one of the most important arti
cles of consumption in this country, showing
conclusively that we not only do not depend
upon the North for manufactures, but can even
supply that section in ease of need. And,
thirdly and lastly, the large amount of honora
ble and lucrative employment afforded to the
poorer classes of our white population.— South

Eights of Neutrals—Decision of the At
torney General.
Washington, April 34.— 1 t appears from
official documents that, in December last,
Senor Romero addressed two notes to the
Secretary of State in relation to an order issued
by Major General McDowell, commanding the
military department of California, prohibiting
the exportation of arms and munitions of war
byway of the frontier of Mexico. These notes
were referred to the Attorney General of the
United States, who said the question raised by
flic Secretary of State was, whether, in the
opinion of the former, the order was in con
formity with any laws or regulations in force
and bearing upon the subject.
The Attorney General says no officer has a
right to issue any order to which he cannot
lawfully compel obedience by the force, under
his command. The test, therefore, or validity
in point of law of the order is whether he
could lawfully employ forces subject to his'
control to prevent American citizens and other
persons within our jurisdiction from transport
ing arms as merchandize across the frontier
into Mexico in tiie present state of affairs in
that country.
i he Attorney General says lie is of opinion
that the order of General McDowell was pro
bably intended to fie directed against military
expeditions or armed enterprises being carried
on from this Government against the bellige
rents contending in Mexico."
Such expeditions and enterprises are of course
violations of our statutes ; and nothing in this
opinion is intended to impugn the validity of
the order in respect to them. The Attorney
General apprehends it to lie well settled that
merchants may lawfully sell at home to a bellig
erent purchaser, or carry themselves to a bellig
erent power contraband articles subject to the
right of seizure in transit. The right of a
neutral to transport and a hostile power to
seize are conflicting rights, and neither party
can charge the other with a criminal act. This
is the view taken by Chancellor Kent.

The Disaster at Aspinwal.
The Explosion of Nitro-Glycerine—The Europe
an Blown to Pieces — Sixty-three Killed ,
Wounded and Missing—The Total Loss One
Million of Dollars.
From the Panama Star and Herald we take
the following particulars of the explosion of
nitro-glycerine on board the British steamer
European, at Aspinwall, on the .‘id inst.
THE EXPLOSION.
The European arrived at Aspinwall on the
morning of the 2d instant, and on the after
noon of same day. came alongside the railroad
company’s wharf, generally used by the line,
and commenced discharging her cargo. Near
ly, if not all the local freight had been deliver
ed, when, about seven o’clock on the -morning
of the 3d, a terrific explosion occurred on
board, which tore awAy the upper parts of the
ship, and blew several large plates off the side.
The wharf at which the vessel was unloading,
and which was'some fodr hundred feet .long,
was literally torn to pieces ; the superstructure
was completely demolished to within a hun
dred feet of the freight house, and hardly a
. plank remained in the entire length of the
structure that' was not wrenched from its fas
, tenings. Immediately in front of where the
vessel- lay a gap was cut through the wharf,
piles, planking, &c., all disappearing. The
ship and wharf both caught fire, and the latter
was saved from entire destruction only by the
exertions of several citizens, who got the fire
engine to work, and after a few hours ex
tinguished the flames, regardless of the risk
they incurred from another explosion of the
burning ship. •
DESTRUCTION OF THE PANAMA RAILROB DEPOT.
The Panama Railroad Company’s splendid
freight house is»left a pile of ruins. The force
of air caused by the concusion seems to have
raised the roof—which was constructed of iron
and slate—upwards a few feet, its own weight
bringing it down with immense force into the
building, and carrying with it both the end
walls, leaving the house, except the side walls,
which appear but little, if at, all injured, a mass
of ruins. It would be difficult to imagine a
more complete wreck than that presented by
the freight house'and wharf.
OTHER HUibDINGS INJURED. ’
Scarcely -a building in the plage escaped with
out more or less damage, those of a substantial
nature auttering mostly. Nearly all the brick
and stone buildings were badly injured, but
the freight house is the,only one we have heard
of which Ims been rendered uninhabitable.—
Hardly a whole window ot glass remains in the
city, and she destruction of glassware, crockery,
and such like, is fearfully wonderful. ‘
VESSELS INJURED.
A’lthough many vessels were lying in close
proximity to Uie European at the time of the
disaster, none, excepting the Caribbean, of the
same line, sustained any serious damage. The
last named vessel was moored at tins opposite
side of the wharf from the European, and re
ceived very serious injury. Her hull externally
appears untouched, but the effect of the concus
sion internally was very severe. We are as
sured that some immense iron girders, nearly
twelve inches deep; were snapped off like a
pipe-stem, thirteen of her frames were broken,
and knees and braces of the heaviest timber
were torn from their places. The strain upon
the ship must have been of immense force, and
nothing but the superior build and structure of
the vessel saved her from being knocked to
pieces. ATI her boats, and in fact everything of
a fragile nature, were rendered useless.
GREAT LOSS OF LIFE.
The most awful part ot the catastrophe was
the dreadful loss of life and suffering attending'
it. Os the number killed and missing it is im
possible to give a correct estimate, but from
present data the number may safely be put
down at fifty', and is, we fear, more likely to
prove over Ibis number than under it. Os the
forty-one men comprising the crew of the
European, nine have bt>en killed and twelve are
missing. Two clerks engaged on the wharf—
Mr. Swftlhson, of the West India and Pacific
Steamship Company, and Mr. Calvo, of the
Panama Railroad Company—were both in
stantly killed, and of thirteen natives of
Jamaica employed on the wharf, and in the
freight house, none are supposed' to pave been
saved ; besides, it is believed that a small gang
of native laborers, who had gone on board the
unfortunate steamer, have met with the fate of
the others. It will be several days before a
correct estimate can lie made ofthe loss. Many
bodies were no doubt thrown into the water
and picked up by sharks, while others are still
buried beneath the ruins of the freight house
and wharf, or went down with the ill-fated
ship.
„ in jAggipsyaJl altef Hie fffst ex
plosion cahridT lie’uesyrihed - T it was .liarrowing
in the extreme. Whilst the ruins gave an air of
desolation to the place, the mangled and lace
rated bodies, or pieces of bodies, to be met with
in every direction, for a great distance around
the ruin of the disaster, were heartrending, and
the suffering of the poor mortals, crushed and
bruised, in whom life was not extinct, was
really dreadful.
SIXTY-THREE PERSON* KILLED, WOUNDED, AND
MISSING.
We have received from Aspinwall the latest
report of the killed, wounded, missing by the
late sad accident: .
There have been buried up to the present time 26
Missing from the ship , 12
Missing from the shore 8
Seriously wounded in hospital, of whom five will
probably die 17
Total 03
Besides these'there are a number at their own
homes slightly wounded.
Known to he killed on ship : Captain Cole ;
Mr. Class, chief officer; Mr. Faison, second
officer; Dr. Burrows, surgeon; Edward Davis,
carpenter; W. Pritchard, sailor ; J. A. Young,
sailor; W. Bcremond, sailor, and Richard,
cabin boy.
Also, missing from ship, twelve. Killed on
shore; Mr. Calvo, Mr. Swanson, and nineteen
others.
THE WRECK TOWED OUT—ANOTHER EXPLOSION.
Fears being entertained that a second explo
sion would occur, ai\d as the cause of the disas
ter was still unknown, and none of the officers
or crew of the ship were left who could give
any explanation of its cause, it was thought
best to have the burning ship towed into the
stream. The royal mail steamship Tamar,
Captain Moir, which had arrived the evening
previous, immediately got up steam and pre
pared to tow out the burning ship, but betore
this could be accomplished another explosion
took place, though not of sufficient force to
cause any injury, it was supposed to be the
magazine, winch .contained a .'small quantity of
powder for ship’s use. The Tamar then made
fast to> the burning hulk and towed her out.
The two vessels had barely reached the oppo
site side qf the bay when another explosion
more terrific than the first occurred, but for
tunately the ship being far from the city and in
deep water no-liarm resulted. • The last explo
sion is supposed to have broken up the hull, as
in less than half an hour after it occurred the
unfortunate ship went down. The top of her
smoke-stack is the only part now visible.
the' cause op the explosion.
The Star adds :
At first the cause of the explosion was
wrapped in mystery ; and, as no one was saved
from the wreck who could give anv satisfactory
explanation, all was left to conjecture. A.boiler
explosion was impossible, as there was no
steam on the main boiler, and there was no ne
cessity to use the engines, as the ship had been
lying at the wharf over eighteen hours discharg
ing cargo. Gunpowder seemed most plausible,
but there was none known to be ou board, ex
ceptinga few pounds in the magazine for ship’s
use, which could not possibly cause so much
destruction. If any were on board, it must be
under a false bill of lading, as none appeared ou
the ship’s manifest. Besides, it seemed impos
sible that powder could explode in such im
mense quantities without creating a cloud of
smoke, and leaving its mark ou everything
around, whereas in this ease, a few minutes
alter the explosion, no traces whatever were
visible, excepting the general ruin. It was then
discovered that some seventy cases of glonoin
or nitro-glycerine, one of the most powerful ex
plosive agents known at the present day, was
ou board under an ordinary bill of lading. This
at once cleared up the mystery. This com
pound is used for blasting purposes, and was
shipped from Liverpool for Califoffiia. it. is, we,
understand, of a similar eomposition, if not tlx;
same, as a barrel or box of oil which exploded
in Greenwich street, New York, a short tiine
ago. It will be remembered, the package was
accidentally dropped ou the street and immedi
ately exploded, tearing down two or three
large buildings.and damaging many others.
THE TOTAL LOSS ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
The amount of damage caused by the explo
sion is roughly estimated at $ 1 ,000,000, which is
about the lowest figure at which it. can be
placed. /
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
We are indebted to Mr. Ellwood Walter, sec
retary of the Board of Underwriters of this city,
for the use of a letter from Mr. 11. S. Tuthiil,
Harbor Master at Aspiuwall, from which we
take the following:
A FALSE BILL OF LADING.
Mr. Tuthiil writes:
I have seen the bill of.lading for this ship
ment. It reads ; “Seventy-three eases of mer
chandise”—the word “merchandise” being
printed in the form. It reads in the margin,
“seventy cases of Giinoin oil,” (the other three
cases being merchandise.) Not a wo.rdof any
combustible or explosive material is imeuioned
audit was stored between decks, ambng other
cargo.
* * * Since the rupture between the re
publics of South America and Spain, I am of
the opinion that large amounts of explosive
material are shipped under the head of “ mer
chandise.”
In my opinion, the forms of the bills of lading
for this transit particularly,” where goods are
so much handled, should be altered, erasing the
clause “ contents unknown,” and requiring the
contents to be specified, and under oath where
doubt exists.
WHAT IS NITRO-GLYCERINE ?
This compound, more commonly known as
blasting oil, is a pale yellow oily liquid of 1. (5
specific gravity, insoluble in water. It does not
explode by direct flame, and when exploded by
a fuse or concussion leaves no residue. It ex
plodes with great rapidity and force, and tiie
discoverer claims that it can be kept an indefi
nite time without decomposition. A few drops
- on an anvil detonates under the blow of a liam
, mer, but the explosion is not communicated
? beyond the drop which receives the blow, and 1
repeated blows arc required to detonate the
whole quantity. It can be heated to 212 deg.
• Fahrenheit without igniting, but explodes at
f about 350 deg. Fahrenheit. It is poisonous,
producing violent but usually only temporary
headaches.
Glycerine is the sweet principal of oil, and is
extensively used for purposes of the toilet. In
1847, a pupil of M. Peiouz.e’s, M. Sobrero, dis
covered that glycerine, when treated with ni
tric acid, was converted into a highly explosive
substance, which he called nitro-glycerine. It
is oily, heavier than water, soluble in alcohol
and ether, and acts so powerfully on the nerv
ous system that a single drop placed on the tip
of the tongue will cause a violent headache,
which will last for several hours.
Mr. Noble, a Swedish engineer, has succeeded
in applying it to a very important branch ot his
art—-namely, blasting. From a paper addressed
by him to. the .Academy of Sciences, we learn
that the chief advatage which this substance,
composed of one part glycerine and three nitric
acid, possesses, is that it requires a much
smaller hole or chamber than gun-powder
does, the strength of the latter being scarcely
one-tenth of the former. Hence, the miner’s
work, which, according to the hardness of the
rock, represents some five to twenty times the
power of the gunpowder used, is so short that
the cost of blasting is often reduced by fifty per
cent. The process is very easy. If the cham
ber of the mine presents fissures; it must be
lined with clay to make it water tight ; this
done, the nitro-glycerine is poured in, the water
after it, which, being the lighter liquid, remains
at the top. A slow match, with a well-charged
percussion cap at one end, is then-'introduced
into the nitro-glycerine. The mine may then
be sprung by lighting the match, there being no
need of tamping.
One volume of the oil produces in combus
tion 554 volumes ot hydrogen, 459 volumes car
bonic acid, 39 volumes oxygen, 230 volumes
nitrogen. One volume thus suddenly expands
to nearly one thousand three hundred times its
original space, producing an irresistible disrup
tive force. As the expansive force is greater
than that of gunpowder, smaller holes and
fewer charges will be required. The oil is simply
poured into she drill holes, and water tight
safety 1 use attached, and the hole stopped with
sand or water. It is often poured through
water into the holes, and as it does not, like
glycerine, mix with water, being heavy, it sinks
to the bottom, and the water above serves as a
plug. If the blasting oil be frozen, it must be
handled with care, as an engineer in Germany
found to his eo.it when trying to bl-cak up sdme
frozen pieces with his pick. It could be frozeu
in tin eases of proper size, and introduced in
the manner that gun-cotton is.
The question whether nitro-glycerine under
goes spontaneous decomposition or not is by
no means settled. It is well known that gun
cotton, if pot properly washed, and if exposed
even to diffused light, undergoes spontaneous
decomposition; and as recent instances of ex
plosion in New York, San Francisco, and now
at Panama are attibuted to .nitro-glycerine, it is
necessary to be cautious about storing quanti
ties of oil in cities until the matter is sufficiently ,
. investigated. —New York Post.

SPECIAL NOTICES. ;
B3T* GEORGIA HOME INSURANCE COMPANY ~
It is with pleasure that we copy the following notice of
, , the above company from the Atlanta Neto Era. In tliitf
i community, its reliability, and promptness in immediately
! paying all losses, is well known and renders it an institu
! tion of pride to our citizens. Its officers are courteous
gentlemen, with years of experience in the business, to
; which fact, coupled with their eminent fitness for the po
■ sition, its remarkable prosperity must be mainly attribu
ted. The Era says:
Acts Speak Louder than Words.— We are gratified
to learn, ot inquiry, that the Insurance Company which
| paid so promptly its loss by the fire on the corner of
Whitehall and Decatur streets, is a Southern Company,
i and none other than that reliable institution of our State,
1 The Gkorgia Homk Insurance Company of Columbus,
of which Mr. Jno. C. Whitner is Agent. The payment j
was made within twelve hours after the first cry of fire j
was heard, whilst smoke was still issuing from the ruins.
No third party came forward to sift and feel about for
flaws—but the agent issuing the policy also makes the .
payment just so soon as satisfied of its justness.
We ask our merchants and citizens to note these fact*.
The cry has been raised, that all Sonthern Companies*;
were totally ruined. The answer to this is, their invest*,
ments were made before the war, and were never changed.
Their loss, therefore, was merely the profits and the labors
tor four years—though some, like the Georgia Home,
have even come out better than they entered the war. It
is false that they are insolvent. A most remarkable feature
of Southern Companies is the absence of “Special Agents”
and “Adjusters” to settle up losses. They go on the pre-;
sumption, that the man they appoint as agent is honest ;
and capable, sufficiently so to be entrusted with the re
sponsible duty of making out a policy promising to pay
you in case of loss, and sufficiently so as to pay up losses*
when they do occur. When, therefore, you insure with
them your last transaction is with the same man—your
friend, your neighbor, your fellow-citizen—with whom
your first occurred.

Bar WE HAVE LEARNED NOT TO BE
astonished at anything. Years of experience and a
correspondence extending throughout all nationalities
of the habitable globe, have turned theories into facts
and established a basis from which we need not err.—
We are not surprised at such facts as the following,
although the persons who write them are. We know
the persons and circumstances, bonce feel at liberty to
endorse their statements:
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 24, 1863.
Dear Sir : I have been aiilieted many' years with
severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold feet and
hands, and a general disordered system. Physicians
and medicines failed to relieve me. While visiting
some friends in New York who were using Plantation
Bitters, they prevailed upon me to try them. I com
menced with a small wine glassful after dinner. Peel
ing better by degrees, in a few days I was astonished
to find the coldness and cramps had entirely loft me,
and I could sleep the night through, which I have not
done for years. I feel like another being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by the
use of the Plantation Bitters.
Respectfully, Judith Russel.”
“Reedsbukt, Wis., Sept. 16,1863.
* * * « j h ave been j n the army hospital
for fourteen raontns—speechless and nearly dead. At
Alton, 111., they gave me a bottle of Plantation Bit
ters. * * * Three bottles restored my speech and ’
cured me. * * *
* C. A. Flautb.”
Ihe following is from the manager of the Union
Home School for the children of volu ut'eers:
“ Havkmf.vkr Mansion, 57th St., }
New York, August 2,1863. \
Da. Drakk : Your wonderful Plantation Bitters
have been given to some of our little children suffer
ing from weakness and weak lungs, with most happy
effeet. One little girl in particular, with pains in her
head, loss of appetite and daily wasting consumption,
on whom all medical skill had been exhausted, has
been entirely restored. We commenced with but a
teaspoonlul of Bitters a day. Her appetite and
strength rapidly increased, aud she is now well.
Respectfully, Mrs. O. M. Dkvok.”
* * * “I owe much to yon, for I verily
believe the Plantation Bitters have saved my life.
Rev. W. H. Waggoner, Madrid, N. Y.”
* * •* « xhou wilt send me two bottles
more of thy Plantation Bitters. My wife lias been
greatly benefited by their use.
Thy friend, Asa Currin, Philadelphia, Pa.”
* * * “I have been a great sufferer from
D> spepsla, and had to abandon preaching. * *
The Plantation Bitters have cured me.
Rhv. J. S. Catuorn, Rochester, N. Y.”
* * * n j i mvo given the Plantation Bit
ters to hundreds of our disabled soldiers with the
most astonishing effect. G. W. I). Andrews,

cured me of Liver Complaint, of which I was laid up
prostrate, and had to abandon my business.
H. B. Kingsi.ky, Cleveland, Ohio."
* * * *. The Plantation Bittern have
cured me of a derangement of the Kidneys and Uri
nary Organs that has distressed mo for years. It acts
like a charm.

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong, the

storer. They are composed of the celebrated Calisaya
Bark, Wintergreon, Sassafras, Roots, Herbs, Ac., all
preserved in perfectly puro In St. Croix Rura.

Persons of sedentary habits, troubled with weak
ness, lassitude,- palpitation of the heart, lack of appe

They are recommended by the highest medical au

beneficial effect. They are exceedingly agreeable, per
fectly pure, and harmless.
