The Chinese Pexxne.

It Is amusing to watch the quandary into
which tho Radicals have been thrown by
the suddenness with which Chinese immi.
grafton has doomed up ss national ques-
tion. Even the New York Tribune, which
is usually ready enough to take sides, CON-
fessss itself staggered by the problem. I.
has been turning 1t over for some weeks,
but has got NO further towards unriddling
1t than this
while We have given some time and thought
90 'ne problem o. Chinese immigration, We
have not attained . Haal solution, and have no
opinion respecting 1t that we seek to ,mpose
ON others. 1t may be that further knowledge
aud consideration will induce ms to unite Ii
the demand that thin iham grafton be stopped.
though our present leaning Is adverse to this. :
This would not be unworthy of the Inn
mortal Bunsby.

explorations further, he fished up, to his hor-

The original manuscript OF Edgar A. Poes
story, "The Murders in the Rue Morgue,"
is in the possession of Lieutenant j. M.
Johnston, Of Lancaster, Pa. The story is
written in the fine print like hand" for which
the poet was famous, on large sheets Of heavy
unruled foolscap paper. 1t seems to us that
the copy must have been rewritten very care
fully for the printer by Poe, as all the puuctua-
ton marks, capital letters, italicised words and
paragraphs, are carefully designated, which
could hardly be the case in the first writing of
stofy by any author, especially story evinc
ing so much thoughtful analysis as 'sThe Muir
ders in the Rue Morgue." There are sixteen
and half closely written pages of the
manuscript. The third page does not contain
single erasure or interlineatiQns whilst the
other pages contaia comparatively few, and
those are principally where the writer has ab-
prevlated or altered his method OF expressing
an ldea by substituting short for a long SEN
tence, or by striking out some words in q SEN
tonce as surplusage. 1t also appears that the
author has carefully read over the manuscript,
even after transcribsng it, and in some IN
Stances has substituted different word for
the one first written. and in few places he
has on the magin Of the pages-purposely left
wlde-interpolated sentences. Every word in
the manuscript is spelled correctly, and written
so plainly that the dulIest typographer would
have no difficulty in decipherinp the conv.

TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 1s, 1869.


1t is evident now that the long cotton and
rioe planters are Of one mindein their de-
termination to take Cinnamon as their prin-
Opal laborers. This is settled, and we
agree with our correspondent, Planter, that
we must come to the point and find out how
these Cinnamon are to be obtained.
There is at present no regular agency IN
the East, Of which we know, where CON
tracts may be made for Chinese lsborers at
q given rate. In Tennessee and the Mis-
sissipi States, however, the planters are
getting the matter into shape, and it is
probable thst at the Memphis Convention,
which meets to-day, some precise informa-
tion will be furnished. We have ourselves
taken steps with view to obtaining trust
worthy reports. as to cost Of shipment,
the time required to complete engage
ments, and other collateral matters, and
we hope to be able ere long to give our
readers full and defuite particulars for
their guidance. All the information that
we receive, either through the public press
Or private channels, will at once be made
public in our columns. We may add that
we shall be pleased at ali times to receive
and consider suggestions upon the import
ant question of Chinese immigration.
A number Of planters have already writ
ten to say that they will take Chinese ii
they can get them; snd We have no donb,

The Future OF Charleston.

The Philadelphia North American exposes
the folly Of @ Western paper, which, while
foreseeing that the recovered prosperity Of
the South must lead to the building up of
great cities on the Southern seaboard,
makes the strange mistake Of pointing out
Beaufort, 8. c., Brunswick, Ca, Dsrien,
Ga, and st. Mary's, Ga, as destined to
be to the South what Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and Baltimore are to the great
North. The North American remarks:
The focal points Of Southern population.
industry and commerce on the seaboard are
already 80 conspicuous that it is extremely odd
for any one tx, make mistake about the mat
ter. These points are Norfolk, Charleston and
Savannah. No other positions on the South
ern seaboard can compare with these for natu-
raj advantages. Charleston, in the heart of
the sea island cotton district, the richest in
the South. and with railway communication
extending through the whole central South, is
sure to become great city.
''These are the points in that region to
which the enterpriseaand capital Of the North
ern seaboard are now directed, and the great
ness Of any other places there can be but
dream. The cotton factories OF the Southern
interior naturally connect with Savannah and
Charleston. Formerly those cities depended
in too large degree upon their natural COM
mand of the great Southern staples, cotton,
tobacco, rice and naval stores; but now they
are wide awake to the need of industry and
enterprise. Their railroad commu nications
extend westward to tho Mississippi River. 30
ctety. wealth. education and business at the
south AL tend as naturally to these centres on
the seaboard as the Same elements in the
North do to the great cities above narned."
The North American concludes this brieht
but not overdrawn picture Of our prospects
with magnanimous dsavowal Of any wish
to repress the growth Of the Southern
cities. This il accompanies with the gen.
erous and disinterested counsel that we
should incontinently abandon "the dream
"of direct trade with Europe" and confine
our efforts to the cultivation OF close com
mercial relations with those ssgreat indus.
