TnH HANLoN TnoUPE.-TEis unrival1cd troupe
gayo another exhibition last night which proved q
perfect SUCCESS. From flying visit which wo paid
10 tho hail. md which resultoI In our seeing only
dense crowd, we came to tho conclusion that tho
uANLoNs wero tho most popular artists we
had over heard OF. Numbers who applied for ad-
nittanco woro forced to turn sadly homoward as
there Was not tho smallest chance for q sent. and
scarcely for stand. We tako this opportunity Of
cousoling tho disappointed sightscors, by direct
ing their attention to tho announcement Of
matinee to bo held this afternoon, and flnalo to-
night, and advise them to stand not on tho ortler
of thoir going, but 10 go at onco.
Tho HAHLoNs aro without exception, the best
performers that havo over delighted Charleston
audience. Their foats Of dcxtority aro remark
able, and their gyInnasto manGuyrcs pant finding
out, wlilo, in fact, thoir tout ensemble In nm inox-
picablo combination Of muscular humanity. Tho
iuggler surpassed his former efforts, and tho onse
with which no balanced bottles, cannon balls, 60,
would almost provo him to DO convorsant With tho
black nrt.
Professor TANNER and his immediate scholars
wore perfection personified, and our good opinion
OF dogs was increased tenfold whom wo saw tho
marvellous acting Of the intelligent animals. Tho
rcst OF tho entertainment was in keeping with ITS
whole character, and tho interest was un6imipish-
cd TO tho close,
It must be remembered TINT to-day is positively
the last, tho HANLoNs have engagements at
Columbia that must be fulfilled, and oil who wish
to hnvo pleasant thoughts for tho remainder of
their lifc should pay them long, ast, lingering
farewell. Only two chances are left,' the matinee
this afternoon, and the hnalo tonight.
ALONG THE WHAnvHs.-A stroll in this direction
shows clearly that thero Ia lfo in tho old land yot
and il tho sigma OF tho times to bo believed tho
shipping business is by no means in letharRio
state. 1t is true the docks arc not crowded, and
forrest OF mnsts is only flgurntvo form OF spocch
but tho few vessels in port either loading, be-
ing discharged or haro cargocs engaged. Tho
different lines Of steamers nro doing good buHi-
ness, and generally arrivo fully ftoightcd, while
tho return cargo of cotton is easily obtained.
In addition to thoso new project ha. been
started, rather old ono revived, viz: through
shipments to Liverpool. Tho necessity of this
was long felt, and no tmo moro suitable than tho
present could have been chosen to inauguarate it.
ty 1t must be by our own cxcrtions and the proper
way to commence is to let tho European world
know our rocourHes and convince them, BY ocular
denomination, OF tho feasibility OF establishing
foreign line Of steamers The Pioneer (aptly
namcd) is tho tyro in this enterprise, and although
sle is not firat-claBs vcseo sho will answer tho
end proposed admirably.
There arc few Of tho wharves that nro not
covered with tho feecy staple, whilo somo Of tho
moro favored arc crowded TO their utmost capacity
1t is gencraly estimated that not moro than fiye-
eighths to three-quartors Of last yoars Drop has
becn brought to market, and that notwithstanding
tho universal cry Of short crop, tho returns hnye
been very satisfactory.
Cotton is slowly rogaining his spromacy and IL
we should be favored with the blessing OF GOOD sca
sons and full crops this year. wo may safely assert
that his kingdom has been restored. The COM
mcrco Of q country depends upon its agricultural
resources, and il these aro satisfactory It will not
bo long Gro tho whnryes will surpass their former
prosperity, and business generally receive an inn
petus that will send II irresistibly forward This
prospectus is not mythical but is based upon tho
known capabilities Of tho country, and it will not
require many years to provo tho truth Of the asser-
tion.
ClOBe
| the war resulted in the general connscation Of
STOCK and tho soldiers from either army consider
ing that mules and horses were common property
annexed ono whenever scen. This indiscrininate
seizure proved great loss 70 tho farmers, many
OF whom wore unable to plant crop In conse-
quence, and In only few isolated cases was any
restitution mado to tho parties. ,
Fow Southern planters attended to the raising
OF stock. depending for supply upon the Ton
neaseeans and Kentuckians who yearly drove
largo numbers Of mules and horses to tho Coast
states Cut off from this source by tho unsettled
condition OF tho country, they wcro compelled to
depend upon their own resources and oxen, and
oven cows, were put in tho trncos and forced to do
their part in preparing the soil for planting This
temporary erpedient answered for tho timo, but
the necessity was urgent for draft animaln and
every effort was made to obtain them condemned
horses were eagerly bought, and the whole coI,n-
try began to turn their attention to tho subject OF
rnsing stock that would be useful for farming pur-

Tho loason taught by tho suffering and war,t OF
the past year will not soon bo forgotten. Nurnbcrs
hayo already imported flne breeds Of horses, and
from present appearances kentucky will not long
be allowed to bear the balm from her sister State a.
South Carolinn in many places has lands admira-
bly, adapted for grazing, which wonld otherwise bo
neglected, and by applying them 10 this purpose
tho royenuo Of tho proprietors would DO increased
and tho whole State be benoftted. E}..g
Tho destruction Of most Of tho race tracks, and
the inability Of tho ownors to keep them In repair,
lessened the interest felt in tho subject OF raoers
and the principal consideration became mules an d
working horses, and how 10 got thom. Tho dlsas.
trous termination Of the war throw the south back
moro than twonty years, aud she now has to re-
trace the route with slow and anxious steps. and
devote moro time TO tho study Of domestic
economy than II ever demanded before.
Ono good result from this win bo to teach her
The valuo Of her own resources and the advantage
