Dict could alone have tempted him from
lbs eminent position in the metropolis.
Mdlc. Dind, on her part, agrees to sing in
100 concerts, including oratorios, within
one year; if possible, or, if not, within
eighteen months; to have full control as
to the number ofnights or concerts in
each week, and the number Of pieces in
each concert; the former, as we'll as the
latter, to be conditional on her health and
safety of voice.
In no case is she to appear in opera.
1t is further proposed that the life of
Mdle. Lind and that of each of her assis-
tants shall be insured for the full amount
OF their engagements; in case of death,
half of this sum to be paid to their heirs
or assigns, the remainder to Mr.. Barnum.
The party are to leave for america the
last week in August or the first week in
September. During the interim Mdlc.
Lind will remain on the continent singing
for various charities, and will pay o visit
of some duration to Stockholm, her ma
tive city.

Gen. Twiggs has, it appears, finally pre-

The following are said to be the terms of
the agreement: each warrior to receive,
before he goeo on board the boat $500,
each woman 800, each child 300.
Bowlegs himself will received about ten
thousand dollars, and two or three sub
Chiefs about $1,000 each. They are to
be provided with rations for one year
after their arrival in arkansas, and to be
guaranteed the possession of their negroes.
1t is estimated that the whole cost Of the
removal will be about 1925, 900.

CHESTER.

We learn from the Palmetto Standard.
which paid us visit Inst week, being the first
since cold weather set in, that the representa-
tives of Chester District have invited the citi.
zens to meet at the Court House on the first
monday in April, to appoint delegates to meet
other delegates of the Congressional District in
May, whose duty it will then be to elect two
delegates torepresent Pinckney Congressional
District in the Convention ut Nashville.
The work goes forward calmly and deliber-
ately,--one district after another all over the
State are assembling in primary meetings,
taking deliberate and determined counsel as to
that course by them to be pursued in refercnco
to Northern aggression. And these primary
meatings will be continued until every district
and parish in the State shall have spoken
the will of the people. And South Carolina

SUICIDE.

On the evening of the 10th inst, the body OF
Nathaniel Rankin, late of Georgia, was found
near the dwelling house Of Col. John Rankin,
three miles from this placs, with sssot g,:r by
his side, the contents of which. it was very ap.
parent had been discharged through his head
carrying away and mutilating almost the en-.
tire head Mr., r, was about 60 years of age,
and subject to occasional fits of insanity. He
was living with his brother, and having bad the
misfortune many years ago to lose one of his
legs, was unable to participate in the engage
mcnts ofthe farm, and having been left alone
at the house for the evening, seized that oppor-
tunity ofputting an end tohis earthly existence.
There was evidence before the jury of Inquest
that the gun had been left in the house on the
rack, and not loaded-that there was powder
in the house, but neither shot nor bullets, and
there was no perceptible evidence that the
gun had been charged with lead, though por-
tion ofwad consisting of paper and RAGS was
found near the body. The conclusion is that
the deceased loaded the, gun himself with
powder and wad, run a small limb of bush
through the guard before the trigger, sat down,
held the muzzle to his right ear with the left
hand, and with the right drew up the gunwith
sufficient force to pull down the the hammer,
the fatal spark ignited the powder, and
heavy charge was driven through his head,
scattering fragments ofthe skull to a distance
of 80 yards. o, it was shocking scene--a
loathsome and melancholy duty that jury of
Inquest had to perform IL Jew of that horribly
mutilated body;-the verdict was that the de-
ceased came to his death by shooting himself

Jenny Lind coming TO ,America. The
European Times announces an agreement
between Jenny Lind and Mr.. Barnum
for professional visit of the former to
this country. 1t says:
We are now able to give the facts and
particulars on the best authority, that of
a private letter from Mdle. Lind, and a
perusal of the documents relating to the
engagement, which we have beer favored
with by Mr.. Barnum's agent. The lat
ter was signed at Lubbock on the 9Th inst.
and are in substanceas follows, ommitting
the sums of money out of delicacy to
Mdle. Lind, with the remark that chose
alread specified by some papers are quite
incorrect. Mr.. Barnum agrees to pro-
vide for Mole. Lind a waiting Smaid, a
servant to superintend the baggage for
herself and party, to pay all travelling ex
penses, including those of her compan-
ion, (tlie arniable relative who acconipa-
MED her in England) secretary, the
professional fees Of nj. Benedict and
Signor Belletti, the musical conductor
and the vocalist whom she particularly
selected; to place ather disposal car
rage and pair of horses, and to secure
her a certain sum for each concert or or
atorio in which she shall sing.
That after seventy-five concerts, if
Mr.. Barnum shall have realized a sum
named, exclusive Of all current expenses.
then, in addition to the first amount. n
farther sum of onc-fifth of nightly profits
on the remaining seventy-fve concerts.

which ofall matters of news, just now,
is most important and interesting to the
South. The newspapers of our own
Ssate are not the only parties who COM
plain, for every exchange we have re-

Mr., Collamer blind and deaf to these ap-
peals? Oris ho a Northern Postmaster
General, having no care for the South?
So far as his private feelings are concern
ed, doubtless the latter is true; but as a
public officer he surely ought to have q
care how the duties of that Office are dis
charged, and If some attention is not
given to this subject very soon, we. in
common with all other good citizens,
must conclude that there is an absolute
want of capacity on the part of the afore-
said officer, to discharge the duties de-
vo living on him.

when such confusion, bad management.
and fatal failures Of the mails has pre-
vailed throughout the whole country.
Not week passes. that we are not told
of failure after failure following closely
on the heels of each other, until we are
almost led to doubt whether the Union
does exist. To say the least, the facts
justify the conclusion, that dissolution
between the mail contractors and good
faith has taken place, and the whole
country is very anxious that such resolu-
tons Of compromise should be adopted.

Somebody carried common plough

COTTON.


staple, cotton, is commanding profita-
bic remunerating price, it is but natural
that planters should be casting about, and
revolving in their minds, as the spring ap-
proaches, as to the policy of planting on
a large or small scale for the next crop.
We are not "a prophet, nor the son of a
prophet and will not, therefore under
take to advise. Some of our knowing
ones are holding out inducements to the
farmer to plant extensively, while others
say plant spariugly and keep up the pri-
ces by diminishing the supply,
The reasons for adhering to either ex.
treme In II. t1ee .ie above statement we are
sure will be duly considered by the plan
ter, and determined according to his
own convenience. So for ourselves, we
would as soon throw up head and tails
fora high or low price next fall as depend
on the mere influence of any one, so fluc-
tuating has the price of our staple proved
within our short recollection. The OK
tract we give below, from the Liverpool
correspondent of the Charleston Mercu-
ry, bearing date the 10Th ult., will serve
to show our planters, in what estimate
the probabilities of continued high prices
are held by writer from the city of I4iv-
erpool:
"And now, gentlemen cotton planters,
if you this year part with another pound
for less than 3 cents, or in all time to
come for less than 10 to IL 70 cents,
you will deserve to be made pack-horses
for Manchester, and to wear the chains of
vassalage eternally TO which you have so
tamely submitted for the last ten years
Restrain rather than increase your cul-
ture. Heave ahead with your manzfac-
tories, and establish others as fast as you
can. In ten years we shall have forty
millions of population, and home mar
ket for most of our cotton, and be pre-
pared to turn the Ephraimites over to
their idols----free laborcrs.
