DECLINE IN FLOUR AND GRAIN.-We con- tinue to note receding tendency in the mar ket rates for flour, wheat, corn and oats, and prices closed yesterday at very material re- duction on last week prices; superfne coun- try and city mills flour is now offered freely at S6 g to $6 30, but without transactions to any extent. Fair red wheat sells at l 20 good at l 9, and prime to choice at l 28 to l 3l, and some twenty-five hundred bushels prime white yesterday at price not made public, but not above B; and this may be considered the very highest price for any grade at present. Corn is dropping, with limited demand and few sales, at 50 to 56 cents for white. Oats 40 to AZ cts.
 The decline in breadstufs is not unexpected, and therefore does not result as unfavorably as would be the case at q time of high specula- tive excitement. Dealers and farmers have measurably prepared themselves for change all knowing, or ought to have known. that the extravagant prices prevailing for several weeks past were destined to receive check so soon as reliable information could be had from the crops of Europe. That information has come to hand, and proving of a very favorable char acter both as to quantity and quality, the effect is felt not only in the markets of the United States, but throughout the world.

THE LADY PHILANTHoPIsT.- Mrs. Ames was sitting in her front room, when she saw approaching Mrs. Arm strong, 8 very public spirited lady, who took a wonderful interest in all reforms and benevolent enterprises, especially those undertaken for people at distance.
 My dear Mrs. Ames,'' she com menced, ''I am the agent of sewing circle just established, the object of which is to provide suitable clothing for the children in Patagonia. 1 am told that they are in the habit of going about in state of nature, which you know is dreadful to contemplate.
 "Perhaps they are used to it.''
 "But that is no reason why we shouldn't improve their condition. So we have agreed to hold a meeting two evenings in a week, with this object in view. Will you join?"
 EI'm afraid I can't. l should be obliged to neglect my own children, as I presume will be the case with some of those who attend. Look for exam pie, at that boy in the street. He has hole in each elbow, and his clothes are covered with mud. 1 Ipreseme his moth Ter belongs to some of these benevolent associations, and hasn't time to at tend to her own children"
 "Mrs. Ames..' asked her visitor, rising with indignation, "do you mean to insult men'
 "Insult you.'' was the astonished reply; "of course not. What makes you think so?'
 "Do you know who that boy is, of whom you speak,
 "No,. I don't, but should like to-
 "You would. Well, ma'am, your curiosity shall be gratifed. He is my son-George Washington Jackson Armstrong. What have you to say to that?"
 "Say? why, nothing. Only it 3 unfortunate for the poor boy that he was not Patagonian."
 Mrs. Armstrong, without a reply, swept out of the room with the majesty of queen.
 She is still canvassing for the sew ing circle in behalf of the youthful Patagonians, while George Washing ton Jackson is permitted to roam at will through the streets, on condition that he will not venture within sight of Mrs. Ames' window.
 Moral.-Philanthropy, like char ity, should begin at home, though there is no occasion for its ending there.

From the Soil of the South. Sea-Tsland Cotton.
CHAPTER 40.

To many of the readers of the Soil of dte South, some remarks on the ''silky staples, ? may not be uninteresting. "What is the difference between short and long cotton?' is oftened asked The plants resemble and are pretty much affected in the same way. Too much rain will cause the forms of either to shed. The most maturing, the best tillage. the best preparation of the staple will best re- pay the cultiyator, whether he grows short or long cotton. Storms and caterpilIars are alike destructive to both
 But there is a difference! The seed of one is black and smooth; the other white. furred and rough; one is 6 much more delicate plant than the other, and cannot so successfully re- sist the vicissitudes of the weather One is picked, packed and pocketed in short order; the other comes slowly, runs through the gin slowly; takes day to pack 8 bag, and ofen- times a year to sell it; but sometimes (not of ten) one brings fifty cents pound, when the other will command eight or ten.
 These are few of the differences between long and short cotton.
 Cotton planters, generally, are getting much in conceit of that costly manure, Peruvian guano. It may pay in the upper-country; but we doubt if it does not impoverish rather than enrich the Sea Island planter, who uses it ex- tensively. Those who live on salt marshes and salt rivers, deserve to grow poor, who re- fuse mud and marsh, aud use guano. The mud is at their doors and they can dig it without mOlestation. or the nauseous effluvium arising from the guano. Mud will last ten years, s,- guano is nearly all spent the first crop; mud costs nothing but the digging and carriage; guano often 100 miles away from you, cost $45 to $50 ton: and yet some Sea-Island cotton planters buy guano, when they have mud Your correspondent is not a prophet or the son of prophet, but ventures to pre- dict that before the year of cur Lord 1860, guano will be sold at $25 per ton, and hard to be sold at that. Mud is slimy word, and trash not euphonius; but mud and trash well applied on some of our sterile lands, will make them blossom as the rose It is true that The who steals my purse steals trash, " but he who despises trash will have an empty purse not worth stealing,
 How well ordered the works of Providence, that from mud and trash come forth gold and silver. FLOW HANDLE.

GALE IN CHARLESTON AND SAVANNAH The late gale at Charleston washed wharves to pieces, demolished and unroofed houses, and sent several vessels ashore. The destruction to trees in the streets was immense, winch will take years to replace, whilst the beautiful battery, the pride and ornament Of the city, was rendered perfect waste. It IS estimated to cost $20. .O00, and ten years time to restore lit to its former condition. Many houses in the city v5ero unroofea many vessels at the wharves sunk-several of the wharves entirely demolished. Ferry houses washed away The boat house and the wharf at Castle Pink ney washed away-the old Point house on Sullivan's Island, washed away, and fears were entertained for those on the Island, but | 1t could not be reached until the storm abated, and we have not heard the result.

.Putnan's Monthly.

.A,a Original .2n1eris01a Magazine. .ON the first of July was commenced the V 3rd volume of Putnam Monthly. Its sue cess, remarkable among literary undertakings, proves the genuinenesS of the national welcome with which the Prospectus WAS received and the manner in which its promise has been full fled
 To have demonstrated that the original American Magazine can command the lively interest and substantial support of the Amer ican public, and challenge the admiration of foreign criticism, is a success of which the Publishers are proud.
 They will spare no effort in deserving even greater favor. They still believe, as they said in the commencement of the undertaking that, "a popular Magazine must amuse, interest, and instruct" They have still unabated faith in the opulence of our own native re- sources, '" and they appeal to the experience of the last six months to show with what req son.
 The first volume is now complete, and may be had neatly bound in cloth, price $2,00.
 The first edition of the June number consists of thirty-fve thousand copies-a greater cir culation than has ever before been attained by an original literary magazine, either in this country or in Europe.
 TERMs.-$3 per annum, or p cents num- ber The postage to any distance does not exceed 9 cents per quarter. Clubs of six Postmasters and Clergymen, will be supplied at $2 The work will be sent free of postage on receipt of $3, promptly in advance.
 N. B. The publishers have no agents for whose contracts they are responsible. Those giving orders to agents or the trade, will look to them for the supply of the work.
