There are two circumstances which,
at this time, will prove irrepressible
in transporting to our shores the i'm
dustrious people of China: lst, Labor
is rebelling against Capital all over
this country and Europe, demanding
moro wages and less work; and %,
the immense profits to be made by
the transportation. 1t is said that
several hundred steamers, nearly as
large as the Great Eastern, are now
being built expressly for this trade.
The Chinese are anxious to come, tho
steam companies are anxious to re-
ceive their passage money and capi-
talists, disgusted with eight hours
work and strikes, are eager to got la.
borers who never complain of prices
and never strike. The the result 10

ly indifferent about the effects upon
race, or society, or government. Their
one object 10 to promote their present
comfort and well-being, leaving the
future to take care of itself.

The Value Of Oak Bark,

visited several Of the most promi.
nent Wholesale Dying or Drug Houses
of this CITY to learn the commercial
value and Importance Of our Southern
Black Oak Bark as Dye Stuff, and
also the best manner of preparing it
for market. We found, on enquiry
that Southern Black Oak Bark makes
one of the most useful and important
Dye Stuffs in use, for giving the
ground colors to the finest and most
costly fabrics made in colors in Euro
pean print works. The most expen-
sive colors are produced from farim
which is made from the extract Of the
black oak bark of the South. This
.farins is worth one dollar per pound .
I learned from Messrs. johnson &
Sons, of Astoria, Long Island, who
manufacture the farim, as we'll as the
appliances for making it, (whose works
We visited), that one ton of ground
quer oitron bark will yield one hum
dred and fifty pounds Of aarim, which
commands a ready sale at one dollar
per pound. We also learned from
those gentlemen, an We did from the
Druggists generally in the city, that a
cord of black oak bark (Rossed) will
yield ton Of ground quer citrop,
which, when properly ground and pre-
pared, is worth from $35 to $50, $50,
and sometimes as high as $50 per ton.
We learned that there are several
quer oitron mills In operation in and
near this city, whero black oak bark

One Of these mills, we were assured

day, returning TO the manufacturer

his bark in it's crude form from the
Southern States) net profit of al

PRESIDENT GRANT.-From Grant
nobody expects any thing, and, as a
blookhead was never yet known tc
choose wise counsellors, SO nobody
expects any thing from the wretohed d
creatures that he has gathered abou,
him. His Governmet seems permis.
sive to oil his creatures. He suffers
such military despot as C4nby to
legislate for Virginia, in matter of
something more than life and death
a matter, which, by his treatment OF
it, makes his exclamation, sLet us
have peace" the most miserable, or
the most satirical mookery.
The usurpative tenor of Canby's
proceedings towards Virginia inaugu.
rates the course which will doubtless
be taken with regard to Mississi ppi
and Texas. In other words, failing to
carry these States for Radicalism, the
action Of the several peoples thereof
to be repudiated, and this repudia-
tion of the people is to be the work of
military despot. It is not even
thought worth while to submit it to
Congress, possibly in order to relieve
that body Of the odium in the busi-
ness.
Here then is new revolution to be
inauguratcd, the issue Of which ia to
decide whether there shall be Gov
ernment of the people, whether there
shall be recognized people at all, or
whether NO are doomed to pass, by
natural transition, under the domina-
tion of licentious, brutal and vicious
soldiery, whose natural progress and
action recognizes usually no law, save
that of "force'
The stolid Indifference with which
the people everywhere seem to regal d
this progress towards military despo-
tism, connected with tho general bust
ness of the social moral, would show
them prepared for it, would show them
willing to surrender all of civil free
dom that was held so sacred but thir-
ty years ago. Usurpation after usur-
patton, tamely permitted and even
welcomed, has completely undermined
their love Of liberty, and has prepared
them for the last of changes which
attend the downfall of o nation.
The course of proceedings towards
Virginia, and doubtless, Of the other
Southern States, simply widens the
breach between the two sections, and
the gulf thus opened, can hardly be

GENERAL CANBY THE VIRGINIA
LEGISLATURE Why GENERAL GRANT
IS SlLENT.-The Walker anti-radioa
party of Virginia, in the late election
in that State, secured large majority
of the members of both houses Of the
Legislature, whereby this party have
been counting upon two United States
Senators. 1t appears, however, that
after deducting tho Walker mem bers
of the Legislature who cannot take
the iron-clad oath of loyalty the
Wells radicals will have majority in
both houses. 1t further appears that
General Candy, military CON- mander
of Virginia as tho First Southern
Military District, in the exercise
Of his Judgment has determined
to enforce tho iron clad oath,
and that where the legislative mem
Der elect cannot meet this oath
the Commanding General intends
to recognize his loyal competitor
(radioal) as duly elected. Under this
process two radical United States Sen.
ators will be secured.
Now, comparing this course Of
General Candy in Virginia with his
policy in South Carolina, it would ap-
pear that sauce for the goose is not
sauce for the gander. Naturally
enough the Virginia Walker party are
incensed against General Candy. We
understand that they have applied to
General Grant to reverse this military
ruling Of the district commander, but
that so far the President has declined
to interfere. But if he should inter
fore and order the recognition Of the
Walker members Of tho Legislature,
what would follow? The election Of
two Walker liberals to the national
Senate. But what then The patton
al Senate (radicaD, which is the final
judge of the elections and qualifioa-
tions of its own members, falling back
upon the iron.elad oath, would doubt
Less reject these two Walker Senators:
and here, we infer, 10 the reason why
General Grant declines to interfere
with General Candy. 1t means that
General Grant has out the Walker
new school republicans and intends to
stick to the regular republican camp,
and that on this line he is moving for
the succession, with the game so fur
in his hands. IN. Y.Herald.

RECEPTION AND SrEEcH OF Gov.
SENTEn IN MISUNDERSTANDING,
Aug. ll.-Gov. Senter arrived in this
city on Tuesday evening, and met
with brilliant reception. He was
escorted from the railway depot to
the City Hotel, where he delivered a
speech in response to the address Of
Ex-Governor Neill Brown. In the
course of his remarks Gov. Senter en-
phasized one point, and that was that
in Tennessee there must be no pro-
scription on account of rebellion, race
or color suffrage and the fullest po-
litical and civil rights must be free to
all. He continued by saying that the
wounds Of the past must heal up, and
that brotherly love and fraternal feel
ing must now be cultivated all round
in Tennessee. He thought the cir
cumstances were ripe for new party,
which would discard dead issues and
act upon the living present. Bour.
borism on the one hand and proscrip-
tive radicalism on the other should be
ignored and set aside, and new de.
parturo taken, which would tend to
liberal and progressive ideas and meas
ures. ..,

the people generally of its Importance
to the manufacturing and commercial
interests Of the world and of its in
trinsic value to themselves. Is it not,
therefore, the duty of the press to
enlighten them in a matter so vital to
the interest of tho whole people, for
its development in South Carolina
