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.

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 Carolinian. 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. From New Orleans. New Orleans, April 24.—The Conference to-day declared the action of the Holston Con ference null and void in certain eases where ministers were expelled without form or trial. • The Conference reciprocated the Christian Invitation from the African M. E. Church, but decline to turn over church property as request ed by that body. The subject of the Publishing House is now under discussion. It will be decided to-mor row. Several members are leaving and going home on account of siekuess. General Butler. —Fowler and Wells pub i lish this result of the maniinilations of General Butler’s bumps : “ Yon are sure to make what | you touchpay. You are an excellent judge of the value of property. Are almost skeptical in 4 matters of religion.

Sri-tDcckln Constitutionalist BY STOCKTON & 00 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. We do not mean to be sectional in our advice, but we do think when we can build up ourselves and our own people at the same cost and with greater advantage to ourselves, it is our duty to do so. There are a number of Southern companies represented here who are perfectly reliable. Call on that experienced Insurance man and polite Southern gentleman, Mr. Whitner, at McCamy & Co.’s Drug Store, and he will give you a list that will surprise you. C. A. G.

BUTT BKO., Augusta, Ga, t 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.

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.
