Tie DISCOVERIES IN JERUSALEM -
The London Times publishes an in
tcresting letter in regard to the dis
coveries in progress at Jerusalem,
from which we extract the following:
The colossal foundations of the
temple wall, which are "stones of ten
cubits and stones of eight cubits, >"
laid 10y Solomon or his successors on
the throne, are now being laid bare
ut the enormous depth of ninety feet
and more beneath the present sur
face. The bridge that once spanned
the ravine between the palace on
Zion and the temple on Moriah is
now proved to have been upwards of
$50 feet high. If this be, MS it seems,
the ascent to the house of the Lord
which Solomon showed to the Queen
of Sheba. we cannot wonder that, on
seeing it, there was no spirit in her.
The pinnacle of the temple, on which
the tempter placed the Saviour, has
just been uncovered to the base, and
is found still to have IN elevation of
136 feet. The statement of Toscphus
is, therefore, no exaggeration: eff
any one looked from the bnttlements
into the valley, he would be gidly,
while his sight could not reach to
such IN immense depth"
Sections Of the ancient wall of
Ophel have been exhumed, showing
that, as Josephus says, it was joined
to the Southeast angle of the temple.
Aqheducts, cisterns, rock -hcwn chan
nels and passages have also been dis
covered within and around the harem,
throwing now light on the buildings,
the arrangements and The services of
the temple.
The great work OF complete cx-
ploration OF ancient Jcrusalem is thus
fairly and ausp;ciously commenced.
The opportune visit of the Sultan
and grand vizier to this country, and
the representations made to the lat
ter by the Archbishop of York, fol-
lowed up rs they have been by the
energy, the wisdom and the tact Of
Lieutenant Warren and his admirable
staff, have smoothed down Nloslem
prejudice, removed local opposition,
and thus brought about opportuni-
ties for excavation and exploration,
such as never occurred before; and,
besides, large numbers of Arab labor
ers have been trained to the work,
and are eager to be employed. and
the exact points for successful ex-
ploration are now well known.

cent. Of the amount 81 cotton here
tofore produced, and manufacture ii
al home. ,'
We conclude this article by nniex-
tract of letter from Houston, Texas,
bearing strongly upon this point. 1t
is addressed to the New Orleans Pica-
yune. We find it III DeBo,c's Recie,c
for September, 1867:
"The Eureka Mills in this city are
now turning out 1900 yards a day,
Of splendid IA OF. osaa5urgs, which
they are selling by the bale at II
cents, gold. Their domestics, a..
inch, of fine quality, almost up to
State A, they sell ut 16M cents, cur-
rency. They have demonstrated that
they can, on all heavy goods, make q
good profit and under-sell the New
England factories. Labor, is about
the same az in New England, living
is cheaper, and cotton costs six cents
less per pound here thnn there, to
say nothing OF the cost OF getting the
goods back. 1t will be wonderful if
Il little more demonstration OF this
sort does not turn us into a manufac-
turing people. Indeed, the Eureka
Mills are now increasing their pro-
ductive capacity to 1000 yards per
day. The Concordia Mills, at Hemp
stead, arc turning out considerable
cloth. The City Mills, of Houston.
now nearly erected, will, by next
January, produce 5000 yards per
day! The Star State Mills, Mt Hunts
vile, are producing about that now.
We will, ere many months, send you,
Mr.. Pic, our cotton in the various
forms Of domestics, jeans, kerseys,
osnaburgs, ticking, stripes, denims,
apron checks, etc, all of which we
are now producing in considerable
quantities.

A HIGHLY SENSATIONAL REPORT. -
The New York correspondent of the
Waterford Mail, under date of De
cember 3, writes:
Admiral TegethoN, OF the Aus
trian Navy, is now en- route for homie,
with what he believes to be tho body
OF the unfortunate MaXimilian. MY
connection with the Mexican agents
in this country forbids my entering
into lninuti;c, but | can assert that
tic remains which will be honored by
Austria are not those of tho Inflated
scion of the House of Hapsburg, but
of Hamcro, IL noted bandit and que
rilla, who, in life, was not unlike our
Maximilian. The latter is pining in
an obscure dungeon in Queretaro,
fed with felon's food, and awaiting
the arrival of welcome death. The
night before his supposed execution,
Juarez. uncertain of his own succe ~
in seeking the Presidency, and per-
hnrs unwilling to Anbrue his hands
in royal blood, had the noble captive
conveyed by stealth to secret den,
and substituted in his stead the ruff
fan Hamero, hoping, had he not sue
ceeded in his political aspirations, to
have m"do fortune by delivering
linn to Austria"

Nh. Stevens, on introducing II bill
not many days since in the House,
said he had no hesitation in acknow-
Lodging that "they were acting out
side Tie Constitution in many respects;
it had become too d-fashioned for
thho requirement. is of this progressive
age" Such remark from such u
quarter suggests several queries. In
the first place, where does Congress
get its authority TO act "outsile tho
Constitutions" If, asks the New
York Times, Congress may act thus,
at its own discretion, 7hy may not
the President also? Both derive all
the authority they havc-both, in
deed, derive their official existence
from the Constitution; "ontside" of
it thcre can be in this country neither
President nor Congress. Then, again,
If the Constitution is "too old-fu-
shioned for this progressive age, F"
why not call Convention to frame n
new one, or propose amendments to
be acted on in the way pointed out
by its provisions? Or does Mr. Ste
vens think that tie idea of having
Constitutions, which can restrain tue
action Of Governments, or depart
mcnts of Governments, is "toO old
fashioned for this progressive age?"
His action, and the character he as
cribes to the action of Congress, seem
to indicate that this is his view Of the
situation.

Cotton is raised in many parts of
Italy, and the value of the product of
late years has equaled $4,000, 900
annually. This crop is all used at
home, but in addition, large qunnti-

rica, Genoa being the principal
market. There arc 200 cotton facto-

disappoint strangers, who have been
taught to expect certain nobler quail

found in the whites. The negro is
Il negro; and whoever expects him to
be white man, or to have the cha

SIR: [ reply immediately 20 your
note of the 4th January, just re-
ccivcd.
did not expect and did not ask,
that you, Military Commander,
would consider the constitutionalitv
of the Reconstruction Acts. But L
did expect that you would point to
the clause i'll those Acts which en-
powered you to suspend me from the
performance of the duties of my
Office, and then to deprive me of my
property in that Office, by ordering
the State Treasurer to withhold the
salary which the State contracted to
pay me when l was commissioned
one of her Judges. You will remcm-
Der, that / am s,ill Judge of South
Carolina. You have not vcntured 70
remove me yet, aud if you bad, you
cannot deprive me of my office. You
cannot point to any authority in the
Acts, but excuse your injustice and
usurpation by saying, "that as your
action involved IL serious delay in the
administration of Justice, and i'm
posed upon the State, i'll its i'm
poverished condition, additional ex-
pcnseS for the maintenance of pri-
soners, and for holding special terms
OF the courts in several of the Dis
tricts in the Southern Circuit, | did
not consider it proper or just to add
to those burdens by authorizing COM
pcnsation for services that were not
rendered"

duties, under the laws Of the State of

on me my judicial Office, and to

ton OF authority, not conferred on
you by any law Of Congress, or arti
Gle of war, suspended me in the very
effort ] was making to administer
justice to suffering people. What
justice was to be administered by such
jUries as you had directed to be
drawn? You know, or should have
known, that your order as to iuries,
was not authorized by any Act of
Congress. You know, or should have
known, that jurics, selected as you
directed, presented the most serious
impediment to tho administration of
justice. You know, or should have
known, that my oath of Office pre-.
vented mo from carrying ont your
order-and yet, as mere partizan,
without considering the dignity of
my position, the character of my be-
loved State, or the resp visibility of
your own station, in the very wauton-
ness of power, you put upon me an
indignity which was unworthy Of the
great Government you represent,
and L must add, appears to me now
to be not only resentful, but unman-
ly. Let your brother-gbieers Of The old

| When / received your Especial
Order No. 1885," suspending me. 1
did not suppose you intended to de-
