Newbcrry District being one OF the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind OF merchandise. Inc
CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one OF the
best mediums in the State for advertisers So lar as
Newberry District is concerned, while 1t enjoys
fair circulation in The surrounding DistE1cls: Inc
terms for inserting advertisements are certaiuy as
reasonable as those of any other journal IN the
country, especially when il is desired to advertise
by contract
The CONSERVATEST numbers among Its con-
tributors gentlemen of The first talent and soundest
political faith With their assistance, the editor
will endeavor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and tre-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy OF the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated. and that ''the Plantation
Statesn have been the ouly suferers-that the
Union of these States is 10 longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice but that the
bond of Union is s'the cohesive power of public
plunder-the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appcar an unconditional pGvocatc of the Union at
any price.
TERMs.-The paper will be regularly mailed to
subscribers out of the town of Newberry at the fol-
lowing reasonable rates of subscription:
One copy, per year, 500
Three copies, o,0o oOo
Five copies, s.oV
Ten copies, lo.oo
Twenty copies, Zo.oo
ssg~ The money upon these terms always to b
paid i'll advance.
No paper will be discontinued until all arrearagcs
are paid, and no paper mailed until the subscrip-
ton price is received unless at the option OF the
proprietors when the circumstances call for q diff
ferent course.
All business communications should be addressed
to the .Conservatist, Newberry, S. c." Commu-
nications intended for publication should be ad-
dressed to the Editor Of the Conservatist,"

Charleston Importations.

The Charleston Courier, speaking of the
preparations now being made for direct
importations into that city, says:
awe are gratifed in being able to state
that several of the leading houses in our
city are moving as they should in this di-
rection. Prominent among the number
is the old and well-established house of
George w. Williams & Co., wholesale gro
GERS on Hayne street. This firm, we un-
derstand, have very recently made ar
rangements for the importation of several
cargoes OF coffee, from Rio de Janeiro, for
the ensuing summer and fall trade.
The brig West Indian and the schoon-
er Fl. P Russell, are loading for South
America with lumber and rice, and are
expected to return to our port with from
eight to ten thousand bags of coffee for
this firm. Messrs. Williams & Co., are
also arrangingto establish line Of schoon-
ers, to be employed in the West India
trade. One of the members OF the house
will leave for the Island of Cuba for the
purpose Of establishing suitable agents,
and for the purchase of a supply of sugar
and molasses for their large trade. These
gentlemen bring to this work long 'expe-
rience and every facility for the accom-
plishment Of their objects. They are
faithfully doing their part to render
Charleston commercially Independent OF
the North, and we sincerely wish them ev-
cry success.
We learn from the most reliable author
ity that agents, representing several very
extensive manufacturing establishments
in Sheffield and Birmingham, England,
are expected to arrive here in few days
from New York, for the purpose Of max
ing temporary arrangements preparatory
to the establishment of perpmanent agen-
cies for the receipt direct and sale of their
wares.

From Washington.

y WASHINGTON, March 26.-I understand
that Secretary Chase is quite satisfied
with the prospects of the revenue, and
with the general condition of the Govern
ment. The weekly revenue at present
quite exceeds his expectations. Senator
Simmons expresses the opinion that the
new tariff will give an adequate revenue,
notwithstanding the loss Of duties on i'm
ports into Southern ports for consumption
in the Confederate States.
The three heads Of -denartments-that
IS, nrr: seward, Mr.. Cameron, and Mr..
Chase-are of opinion that an extra scs-
sion Of Congress, will be necessary, either
for financial or political purposes. The
Administration have undoubtedly, from
necessity, fallen into pacific policy in re-
gard to the accomplished revolution in
the South.
The Montgomery Commissioners now
here do not apIrehend the occurrence of
any cause Of collision between the two
established. Governments. They are not,
therefore, urgent for arecognition of their
mission, and a reply to their propositions.
Considering themselves as Ministers to
great foreign Court, and at time when
the Department of Foreign Affairs is en-
crossed in other business, they patiently
wait for a hearing, as they would were
they sent to Russia or Turkey on q di-
plomatic mission. Meanwhile the Gov
ernment of the Confederate States shows
great activity and vigilance, and is rapid
" consolidating its power.
The Minister of Finance, Mr.. Memmin-
ger, is man Of energy and indefatigabil-
ity, and is organizing his Department in
the most efficient manner. He is ahead
of our Financial Secretary in measures
for the protection of the revenue from
smugglers on the inland frontiers of the
Confederate States. He does not mean
to lose any revenue upon any imports
which may be brought into the country
from foreign States, whether of the growth
or manufacture of Europe, or of the Uni
ted States. /
Mr.. Chase must resort to very effective
measures of the same sort on the same in
land frontier, if he would prevent the
whole country from being supplied with
dutiable-goods through the seeded States.
q. This state Of things is not permanent,
however, because Virginia, Maryland and
kentucky, and other Southern border
States, will be necessarily forced by the
instinct of aelfpreservation to unite with
atgovernment which will give them free
dom of trade with tho Southwestern
States, and enable them to obtain foreign
merchandise at low rates of duty.
The Virginia Convention will remain
long enough in session, adjourning from
time to tine, to witness the effect of the
two systems of finance on the trade and
industry o. the State, and will act accor-
dingly-Journaz Of Commerce.
WASHINGTON, March 29.-Mr. Forsyth
is still in New York purchasing fixed car
.tridges and other implements of war.
< The Commissioners have had but one Of
fetal visit to the State Department, al
though they are III correspondence with
Seward through third parties.

New York, March 29.-The .Evening
Post has special dispatch which states
that Fort Pickens was reinforced more
than week ago by small boats on dark
night.
The inland commerce of the United
States is vastly larger than the whole for
eign trade, and it is to receive new di-
rection from the revenue systems adopted
respectively by the government at Wash
ington and at Montgomery.

New YORK, March 31.-The steamer
Daniel Webster, a transport vessel, at this
port from Texas, reports having landed at
Fort Jefferson (Tortugas, coast of Flori-
da) companies L and NJ first Artillery,
and at Fort Taylor Ney Vest COM
panies L and K, of the same regiment.
He also reports that the Indians are
committing great havoc among the people
of Texas-killing some, running off their
stock, &c. Major Sibley chastised some
savages recently.
Cortinas, of the Mexican bandit, isunder-
stood to be awaiting the departure Of
troops to recommonce operations on a
larger scale than heretofore.

.RENovArIoN.-The editor of the New
England Farmer says that gentleman
residing in Cambridge informs him that
charcoal placed around theroots ofdiseased
peach stocks was serviceable. He imme-
diately removed the soil from around the
trunk of sickly tree in his garden, sup
piled its place with charcoal, and was sur
prised at it's sudden renovation and subse-
quent rapdity ofgrowth, and the tenacity
with which the fruit held on the branches,
ord the unusual richness of it's flavor when
matured.

The present critical state of European affairs will
render these publications unusually interesting during
