SLIGHT RELIEr--Tho dwollcrs on this sub
lunar sphere, who wcro vainly eudcavorng to
keep cool, were agrcoably surprised and Some
what refreshed by tho rain of yesterday For Il
aiIx
1t could not stand tho pressure, and fell several
degrees. At first tho rain camo down with n
grateful pcreiBtoncy, and tho thundor's dulcet
tones sounded fnr sweeter than tho musio OF n
piano. Unfortunately this pleasure was OF short
continuance, tho rain soon coased and old Sol re-
Humed his sway md tho quicksilver M ountcd 10 n
dizzy height Tie rain may hnvc been apprceat-
cd by tho farmor, but in tho city 1t has only boon
tho causo OF anathemas on tho weather. At pres :
ont we arc swcltering in room whoro il is i'm
possible to keep my but caststcel thermometer.
md while our imaginations ;aro running on cool
brooks and shady trees, we are enduring heat
that is fcrvent enough TO melt tho clements. Un-
der these circumstances it is almost an impossl-
bilty to find anything stirring that could kecp
quiet and this may account for tho dearth OF
nova, ns fow persons nro anxious to increase tho
caloric in their systcm, and consequently avoid
any undue excitement.

DtsTRrCr.-Tho dostitutipn caused by tho war, md
the failure Of last years crop las been general
throughout tho South, but has boon relieved in O
great measure by the generous donations of the
charitable and by tho prompt assistance rendered
by tho Bureau officers. In South Carolina this
destltuton Was moro severely felt than in any
other State, but the supplies have boon listribu-
ted by tho government unsparngy, and as our
prospects arc now much brighter wo can trust thnt
the OWL days are over, that peace and plenty will
shinc upon tho land, and that every man Gun sit
under his own vine and his own fig tree. Tho sa-
rannah Netos and Herald in referring to tho pov-
crty in South Carolina opposite that city says
Captain II. G. DnASpT, Sub-assistant COM
missioner, r. Is. d a. L., for tho Carolina
side OF Savannah river, hns mado dintri-
button OF corn md. bacon among tho
destitute OF both races IN st. Peters Parish. The
efficiency of this officer il tho bost guarantee that
the provisions Of the resolutions Of Congress, un-
der which tho distribution has been mado, have
been faithfully carried out. We arc personally
cognizant Of the fact that tho Captain has ondoa-
rored to discriminate justly and impartially upon
tho various applications made. The dcstiluton
prevailing in portions Of st. Peter's Parish was
wido spread, many families, both whto and color
cd, literally having nothing to cat. Tho blacks as
general thing were better Off than tho poorer
classes OF white people. Tho crops aro good-the
laborers working better than was expected and
hopeful anticpations OF bcttor s!ato OF things
encourage tho farmer"
The WANTS OF THE CoUNTRY.-The South has
undergone great change during and since tho
war, which will tend considerably 10 her future ad.
Vancement. Old things have passed away, nnti-
quatod ideas are loft to tho octogonarianH, and
cvory effort Is being made to improve the country
by the Introduction of labor-saving machines Or oi
those inventions whose utility has been recognized
everywhere. Since the notices OF tho Mcnloul,a
Loom haTe appeared in this papor ettors have
boon received from different parts Of tho country
inquring the price OF these looms, and where they
could bo obtained, Tho ngont in this city, DIR.
MCCLIHTocg, has received similar letters, and il
his purpose was to OBJECT tho sales OF tho looms
he could easily accomplish it in this city. IIe has
though, como hero for n different object and de-
sign, simply to scl tho patent right for this State
and North Carolina. This right will gyo tho pur-
chasing party the exclusive right to make or sell
tho looms in other State, md would, il properly
managed, bo paying Investment.
Throughout tho ontro South thcro Inns been {
want OF somo invention that could mako tho farmer
prcduccr Of everything needed in his family, ant
tho old fashioned country mado looms wcro always
