"a better selected, more varied or fashion

cupy a high position in commercial circles as
men entirely above the common trickery Of

lied upon, both as TO the character of their
goods and tie manner OF disposal. Ladies

have an immense stock of articles, varying in

The distribution is very fairly done-you
agree to take certificate of a certain article
enclosed in an envelope, and are not required
10 pay your dollar unless you are satisfied
with the article, which will certainly be worth
more than that amount, and may be worth

Mr., EDIToE: In a late issue of the "JoUR-
NAL" was glad to read q "protest" against
a nuisance that is really becoming very an
noying; and l had indeed, just been threat
ening to write some severe words and send
to the venders Of Tickets for the splendid
Schemes of the Lotteries Of Delaware, Ken
tucky, DC, whose "coEhdential" horse-sbed-
ing letters come through the mails thick and
fast as the falling leaves of Autumn, and as
if to avoid Law, and afraid of the light, they
are sent awataround by New York or Pbila-
delphia, directed ia poor handwriting, and
often in poor Orthograpby, as if to make you
think you were going to read the first efforts
of some little Nephew. Why, lately re-
ceiYed one directed thus: ga, g. Presho,
Colesburg, potter CO., and lady friend of
mine, who at the time Of the battles before
Richmond and Petersburg was looking for a
letter from her husband, hearing that let
ter was at the Office, sent, and received a
very confidential letter" and Splendid
Scheme all the way from Kentucky, but not
q word from her husband. IF there is no
other way TO stop this wholesale institution
of what | call Gambling by Machinery, |
hope every person who receives the invita-
tioL to ''pdy a small amount and 1cin a large
Prize" viii send them back, instead of the
S5 or SO, such a rebuke as shall make their
ears tingle. A. @. PREsHo.

for San Francisco, from which he learned
that the South was really and truly defeat
ed. On this he at once slowed away his
gnns end ammunition in the hole, and
steered for Liverpool, stopping at no other
port. On arriving near the port he took q
pilot on board, and finding the news of the
defeat Of the Confederacy confirmed be-
yond ali doubt, he desired him to take tho
Shenandoah alongside a man-of-war, il
there was one in the river. The ex-cruiser
was in consequence placed alongside tho
Donegal, and crew from that vessel
officers also being in charge with them
immediately after the surrender, Captain
Waddell, his officers and crew came on
shore. AS she came up the river, the
Shenandoah excited great attention, the
sight Of the Confederate ensign she car
ried being novelty. AS soon as the ne
cessary formalities were concluded, it was
believed she would be handed over to the
United States Government. According to
various reports, Captain Waddell was
more than once told while cruising in the
Pacific, Of the termination Of the war, but
as his informants were the crews of the
Northern vessels he destroyed, he refused
crew of the Shenandoah, it is said, sui
fered much from hunger, and three ere
reported to have died from starvation.
TIE VESSEL SURRENDERED TO THE UNITED
STATE AUTHORITIES.
The Shenandoah was surrendered to tho
American Consul on the 10th, who took
formal possession, and placed her under
Captain Freeman and crew of his own
selection, to convey the ship to New York.
THE NEW MINISTRY-SPEECH OF Earl.
RUSSELL.
Earl Russell attended tho Lord Mavor's
banquet on the 5th. In speech he paid
tribute to the memory of Palmerston.
Advising to the last reconstruction of tho
Cabinet, he said he had received the fullest
support from his colleagues, with the re-
mark on it's policy that he trusted the
country would allow time to consider the
course they ought to pursue, and he should
abide by the principles of his life. The
Government deemed it their duty to con-
suit the wishes of the people, and it would
be for Parliament to consider how far
those wishes were based on Justice. He
thanked God the American war was over,
and he trusted the republic, now freed
from the sin of slavery, would go on and
prosper for centuries to come.
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
The reception of Russell at the banquet
was a practical reply to the dctraction
which had lately pursued the government.
Rnsselrs language could only be used by
men who feel the important measures cx-
pected of them, and are willing to encou-
rage the hope.-L0ndon Daily Ne,rs, 11M.
The effect Of the speech was rather an
encouragement to the cause of reform.

CHARLESTON, November 23.-Since our
last statement, on the 18th instant, an i'm
provemcnt OF about &c. per pound has
taken place in the price Of cotton, partly in
consequence Of an advance in the Liver
pool market, and also from general con-
fidence that the article here had fallen to
q low figure. There has been a steady ad-
vance in the tone and character Of the
market during the week, aud with supply
of the most limited character for sale,
there was much stiffness on the part of
holders yesterday. The receipts still con-
tinuc very small, and amounted, during
the week, to 81 bales of Sea Island and
1880 bales of upland cotton, most of which
is passing through without changing
hands. The market yesterday was firm,
with a good demand, and prices may be
quoted, for middling. 440l45c. With limit
ed receipts; the price of Sea Island re-
mains unchanged, say Soc. 0$1.65 per
pound.

The FLORIDA CoNvENT1oN-The Florida
Convention, which closed its proceedings
a day or two ago, made no half work in
conforming to tha requirements Of tho
President in order to place the State on
an acceptable footing. It has annulled
tho Ordinance of Secession, abolished
slavery, declared that no colored person
should be restricted from giving testimony
as witness on account OF color in cases
wherein such person was involved, repeal
ed the Ordinance establishing Confede-
rate States debt, and made other changes
in the Constitution. We conceive Florida
to be now in fair way Of having her repre-
sentatives admitted to seats in Congress-
We cannot tell, however, what may arise
In the shape Of other tests which it seems
to be the disposition on the part Of not
few politicians to apply. Indications null
tlply each day that q strong eacr. will be
made to keep the Southern members from
Congress, no matter how clear their cre-
dentials, or earnest their desire to cement
the ties Of the Union. The intelligence
from Washington next month will be of
great Importance Uharleston Courier.

The Legislature.


AS our Legislature will meet tomorrow
for business, we venture to mako a few
suggestions.
In the first place, let them do whatever
President johnson requires in order to the
admission OF their Senators and Represen-
tatives to Congress. They have already
complied with tho first requisite-the
adoption Of the constitutional Amend
ment;" the other is a nero matter Of form
in this Staie-the "war debt" being only a
trifie, which can be set aside. We are no
advocates Of ''repudiation," 80 called; but
if it be necessary to sustain the Admins
tration, in disavowing the small debt we
have incurred for estate Defence let us
do i,
Our financial condition requires the most
serious consideration Of tho Legislature,
and we most earnestly exhort them to give
it at once their gravcst consideration.
Upon the skillful legislation on this point
depends the welfare Of the planting and
commercial interests Of the State.
We will have more to say on these sub
jects, and will present some views that we
have no doubt will claim attention.
