J. HALL Dow, Esq, Secretary National
Manufacturer Union:
DEAR SrR--Your favor Of the 18th same
duly to hand. In our business No are
meeting With all the success we sn,icipa ed.
The pressure brought to bear upon Congress
is more than it can withstand. There is .
general feeling of retrenchment, and ! am
mistaken or there will be radical reforms be-
fore long. The Committee Of Ways and
Means have already resolved to report bill
repeating all taxes upon manufactures, ex-
cept Injuries, and We hope t, get the income
tax of also, and expenses reduced sufficient
to .dinit of it. To this end we are laboring
with individual members and the different
committees in whose hands are expendi-
lures, appropriations, etc, etc, and think
am safe in saving that orr labors will be
crowned with success, but il mus. be watch
ed and pressed to the end.
Yours, very truly,
Gxo. W. ALLEN.

2 PRQOEEDINGS OF FORTY THIRD DAY.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
CoLUABIAs August 25.-The Com
mittee on Vacant Offices made an un-
favorable report on the bill to pro-
vide for the appointment of health
officer, and the bill was postponed
until the regular session. 3
Dennis gave notice of bill to re-
gulate the time and manner OF
insurance companies doing business
in this State by agents to make re.
turns.
Jackson gave notice of q bill to
allow minors and others to recover
real or personal property, bonds,
stocks, bank deposits, bank notes, or
monies that were converted into Con-
federate bonds, stocks or monies.
The Committee on Privileges and
Elections reported that they had
examined the returns of the election
held in Kershaw County, for men,
ber of the House, to fill the vacancy
by the death of s. G. W. Dill; and
that John III. Boswell was entitled to
the seat. Boswell, who is Q radical.
then came forward and was sworn in.
The.bill to re-organize the State
Penltentiary, was passed.
The militia bill was taken up, and
several sections passed, when the
hour for the special order, which was
the bill to grant a charter to the
Chatham Railroad Company, arrived,
and the bill was taken up. Pend
ing its consideration, the House ad-
journed.
SENATE,
The bill to authorize loans to paw
the interest on the State debt and to
redeem the bills receivable, were
passed.
The bill to amend the charter of
the city Of Charleston, was reported,
enrolled, and will probably be rati-
fed to-day.
The rest of the session was devoted

but. before it was half concluded,
the Senate adjourned, no important
amendment having, in the mean
while, been made.

A STRANGE SToRY.-A New York
correspondent of the Chicago Jour-
nal, says: "What I am about to re-
late is strictly true, every word of it,
though it be an extraordinary cir
cumstance. A week ago, last Thurs
day night, Mr.. =, employed as
n clerk at Fl. B. Claflin & Co. IS, and
weighing 261 pounds, started from
the city, about 8 o'clock, to cross
over to his home in Hoboken. He
slipped on the ferry-boat, fell over
board, and, the night being very
foggy, he was unperceived.
''After swimming short distance,
he turned over on his back and
fioated along with the tide, he knew
not WHITTIER. It was so dark and
foggy, he could not see either shore,
nor determine their direction, and
he accordingly continued to float
down the bay, past Bedlow and Go
vernor's Islands, through the "Nar-
rows" and out to sen. Upon the
following morning, at half-past 4
o'clock, q party of New Workers, in a
yacht, who had been caught in the
loB, uiSCoVereu ulIn, OH the coast OF
Staten Island, below the forts, being
rapidly borne out to mid-ocean.
"They let down a small boat, and
found him in All unconscious condi-
ton. The application of some cor
dials and stimulants, however, soon
brought him to his senses, and he is
now back again in his establishment,
performing his accustomed duties.
This, it seems to me, must be the
most remarkable case of floating on
record. The gentleman was in the
water from half-past 3, in the even
ing, to half-past 4, in the morning
n period of seven hours; was carried
by the tide distance of nine miles,
and continued to float after he be-
came unconscious. I refrain from
publishing the gentleman's name, for
the same reason that he has therefor
objected to any newspaper publicity
being given to the circumstances. If
the story is, however, doubted, con
produce the necessary affidavits as to
its authenticity"
