The Mask Thrown OF.

When the President resolved TO hetray
the Republican party and hand over. if
possible, the goEenment to the control
of the rebels aad copperheads, he thought
it prudest, as far as practicable, to con-
ceal his real design He repelled as an
insult the insinaation that he meditated
treachery protested he honestly meant
to eschew the path of Tyler and Fillmore,
and auowed that whatever differences ex-
listed between himself and the men who
aidee his election, he would fight out
snside the Republican lines, There vas
no sincerity in these protestations. pp-
piizty was essential to his Policy. What
he hoped was by making these cawpara-
lively pacific aud honorable declarations
to ALLEVIATE many Republicans from their
old associations, and to attach them to
bis fortunes in the end to lead them in
to the camp of Democracy. From the
first this was apparent to some, but not
to qp Now, subterfuges and DISCUSSES
are discarded the amalgamation of the
Republican followers of the Presi dent
with the Democrats is openly urged, and
measures for its accomplishment actually
1 ken.
,Ipst here the difficulties Of the PFasi
dent really begin. Doubtless the Demo,
crats are ready to accept the Offices, or
any proportion of them, froR the Presi-
dent So far as his schemes for the fu-
ture coLcur with their own, they are will
ling to endorse his ideas. But they are
not eager to accept of him aud his scores
or two of followers, as their party leaders
What they did by Tyler and Fillmore,
they are not inclined to do by him and
his; but beyond the measures of Demo
cratic precedent as estah.ished In the
cases Of those eminent apostates.
Nor is this oil Some Republicans
who were bewldered by the Presidents
sqphistries into the acceptance and ad-
yocacy of his Policy. have drawn back
upon finding into what company he would
introduce them. Loyal themselves, ip
all their principles and sentiments, per-
haps by temperament or conviction NOV
ed to deal leniently with enemies over
thrown, they had no thought of surren-
derlnS the SoVernment INTO the hahus ol
the men who madly sought its life. Fin
ing such the entertainment to which they
were invited, they are making haste to
viudicate their fame in returning to the
old affiliation.
What consolation the President will
find in the Philadelphia Convention the
event must disclose. We do not look
with trepidation or despair on its convo-
cation. We like Free Speech. Using it
ourselves, we are willing every body else
shoEld avail themselves Of it. Let the
rebels and their sympathizers, together
with the Conservatives, meet and say
what they want. They may help to a
better understanding Of the situation /;
but we have not much faith they will,
as we judge the Convention is quite like
ly to be rent by dissentions; or if they
agIee at all, to agree in making such de-
mands as the President will hardly dare
affront the mnssss Of loyal people bp en-
tanning, much less by attempting to full

SOvTu CARoLINA, July 10, 'a6. (

SOUTH CAHuLtNN \, JHiy ~, 10
FRIEND ROBINSON II promised to
give you in my next letter some account
of the mode of raising the sea-island Oot
ton, of the characteristics of the natives,
&C., and, although little slow aNout it,
will now attempt to redeem my promise.
The sea-island cotton can only be grown
along the ooast and on the islands where
the soil and atmosphere are imp#egnatad
with salt The staple of sbis cotton is
twice or three times as long as that of the
uplasd cotton and of much finer texture,
and brings in market about FIVE times the
price of che ether. Some lots were sold
last spriag as high as two dollars aRd sev-
enty-6vc ceRts per pouSd, ssd it is s1-
peotod that all the cotton raised on the
islands this year will bring at least one
dollar and fifty cents per pound.
A good average crop yields one hund-
red pounds of giuned cotton to the acre,
ftwo hundred have becp raised and one
prime hand can. with the hoe alone, work
'from four to five acres of land,
The land, wheu cultivated every year,
has to be manured with salt mud from
the surrounding marshes, When this is
done, work should be commenced in jan
uary. Heretofore the land has always
been prepared for planting with the hoe
alone, but northern men who are going
to try planting next year, expect to peP-
form most of the work with ploughs.--
Christy and Kennedy from Portersville,
have planted, this year, over one
hundred and City acres of fcattop in which
they have used the plough extensively
and they have one of the finest crops on
the Island.
The first operation ip preparing the
land is termed Listing !" this is done by
dragging all tho dead grass or other veg
etable matter on the surface, into the al
10y between the old cotton rows, and With
the Doe skimming off about two inches
in depth of the surface Of tho soilr SO as
to bring sIl the grass roots into heap
with tho matter already collected. II
there was much grass and weeds op the
ground, this operation should be perform.

commencing the second operation which

The Prussian Needle Gun,

Before the commencement of the war
agitating Europe, it was thrown out that
Prussia had in her possession secret, in
new kind of fire arms, which would
make her invincible. 1t was stated that
the inventor was guarded night and day
to prevent his revealing the secret. 1t
viii strike fatal shot at five hundred
PAGES distance, and wei trained snldiars
can fire il four OF FIVE times minute, so
that during charge Of the encmy's cav
airy, the Prussian soldiers-making ev-
cry allowance for the excitement Of the
combat can fre at least three times be-
fore receiving the horsemen with the bay
onet As to precision, the Prussiaps,
with this formidable weapon, are said to
hit their target ninety times out Of evevy
hundred. The following description is
given by the correspondent of the New
York Times:
SThis arm, already adopted ip the
Prussian army, is carbine os needle
gun, that is to say, central. firing gun,
being loaded from the brepeh, on sys-
tenn similar to that of the guns which
are beginning to be used by our great am
ateurs of the chase The cartridge is
placed in the chamber with the rapidity
which is required to discharge the gun
Of L.efauchex, and all other pieces in
which the barrel is discharged by sim
pie movement This barrel receives its
charge and is restored to its place in a
few seceads. The firing, in place of be-
ing determined by the employment of
cap, as in our fire arms, is produced by
the contact of needle with the cap,
rbich cap Is placed in the centre of the
cartridge, and the movement OF this nee,
die is produced by the play of battery
which works upon strong spiral spring
placed behind the lock of the gun. This
spring runs through the powder and
pushes against an explosive lozenge, cap
or printing placed between the charge and
the ball. The firing then is central, in
ferior and instantaneous. The powder
taking its full force of expansion at
time, the charge may be less considera-
Die; the piece beiug rifed, The precision
is much greater. This portable FIRE arm
being light does not fatigue the soldier,
and being loaded by the breach, and the
printing being attached to the cartridge,
the discharges may succeed each other
in as rapid succession as those fred from
8 revolver. Such is the murderqqs weap,
on which has excited so muOh ridipule in
80 many military circles in Eurape, and
Of which Prussia is making such terrible
nssto day to her own aggrandizenent."
