Next to Cuba, this is the richest Of
the West India Islands. st. Domingo
comprises owe" one-half Of the island
which bears is name, but which is ire.
queutIy spoken Of as the Island of
Hayti. The precise extent OF her ter.
r,ory has never been settled, as the
Haytians have thus far disallowcd her
claims or possession OF the limits agreed
upon between France and Spain
by the treaty OF l777. II the clans
were allowed it would give her some
- coo square miles, aud this question
will doubtless have to be satisfactorily
settled between the United States aud
llaytL At present the Dominican
Republic controls about seventeen
Thousand square miles divided into
five departments, which are slb-dvlded
into commUnes. The departments
are called st. Domingo, (Which con-
tains the Capital ,,Azua Dc Compos-
tela, Seybo, Santa de los Clbellorou,
and Conception de la Vega, the whole
containing population estimated at
one hundred aud thrty-six thousand
souls, or about eighty persons to the
square mile.

Gus The soil is remarkably fertile,
producing every thing grown in the
tropics. WretchedIy cultivated as it
has been, the crops taken FROM the land
have been large aud profitable. The
best mahogany grows in the southern
provinces, a spontaneous produce. Ip
addition, this part Of the country pro-
duces large quantities of salinwood,
fustic, ligDum Vita aud Brazil wood.
Cattle are raised iu the department of
Seybo, with much success but it is
in the northern section Of the republic
that the most industry is displayed
Here large quantities Of tobacco are
anOually raised and slipped to foreign
markets. These productions, how

War in Soath Carslils


Nrw YoRK, Mach II.
A dispatch from Colusnbia, 8. G.,
last night, says: a .sseaa sls
A largo body Of men, armed from
East Tennessee and North Carolina,
have made their appearance in York
and Chester counties and fighting has
been going on for several days. Mai.
Whitehead Of the 18th Infantry. sta
toned at Yorkville, arrived this
morning and reports that the most
horrible outrages have been perpe-
trated in those, counties since last
Saturday night by both the cOlored
militia and Kuklux organization. On
Monday, Capt. Williams, mulatto,
commanding q company OF negro
militia, was taken and hanged near
Carmel Hill, and q number Of his
men were inhumanly whipped. The
negroes retaliated, and since then the
fighting had been continuous. Major
Whitehead reports that the militia
company commanded by Williams
was defeated on Monday night, and
fed 70 his camp At Yorkville. He
d:sarmed them, and now reports to
the Governor tor orders. Gov. Scott
will to-day proclaim martial law IN
York and Chester counties, and has
telegraphed to President Grant and
Gen. Terry, At Louisville, asking for
troops. Pending their arrival, tho
Governor will send . regiment Of
militia, under q competent officer, TO
restore order, if possible. The livliest
times are anticipated in the northern
part Of the State for the next two
weeks,

"a few minutes more, and the report

How The Coreans Fight.

The following is an extract from letter
descriptive of battle between the Uniled
States troops and the Coreans:
"All being ready the order was given to
charge, when away went our boys with yell
down the hill, across the ravne and up the
slope toward the citidel, in a magnificent rush
in the face of a storm of shot-One of ouT
landsman got the lead, but gallant Lieutenant
Commander Mckee was close after him. The
landsman fell faead at the foot OF the breast
work. Mckee went over alone, gained the
inside, and fell mortally wounded by spear
and bullet. ant-Conmander Schley
was the second man in, and near enough to
shoot the man who killed Mckee, and who
thrust his spear through Schley's coat. Lieu
tenant-Commander Casey was next in. Then
it was pellmel, officers and men swarming
over, and a scene of desperate hand to-hand
fighting took p ace. The Coreans fought with
a courage and desperation that was wonder
tul, and their subjugation was a difficult task
They dubbed their guns, used swords and
spears, threw stones, and one fellow, while
pinned to the ground, threw handuls of dirt
at the man who had him pinned down."

rowed her theories, and cramped her eper.

knowledge in their appreciation of her GENIAL
society, rich stores of varied information and
good common sense, that woman who lets
herself make after Gods designs is developed

does Jemima look? We contend that study,

1emlma is handsome, and will be when she
seventy. she is strong-minded, which
means wel-baanced mind, capable of re-
Election and introspection, money. making and
bread making. 1t is said the English Lam
guage is never perfectly understood without
the study OF Latin, and that cannot be
thoroughly sounded without the aid of Greek
and Latin, and that in turn is dependent up
on Hebrew tor a sure foundation. From He
brew up to bread making there are probably
regularly connected steps, without missing
link, which Darwin will yet discover to YOU.
Jemima was thirty before she learned the do
feet accomplishment of it was a ten minutes
lecture from scientist in the profession. ff-
teen minutes for reflection before beginning
operations, and half an hour over the bread

ihen followed some caretnl attention 10 bak-
ing after the bread was in the oven, which is
not oy any means unimportapt. The result
OF this brst experiment was tested by table

ious She has never failed in batch of
bread since, or succeeded in improving upon
the first attempt, except to gain little in
time. All the other departments of house,
keeping she has since examined, she has
found TO be as easily mastered. " ith this ex-
perience, Jemma IS convinced that instead
of bread making being in the beginning OF a
girPs education (if she wants to learn it at
all), it should not be attempted till after a
thorough knowledge of chemistry, or in con-
nection with other chemical experiments; and
as this science is not profitably studied, with
out some knowledge OF The languages, bread
making would be among the latest arts ac-
quired, after scientific principles are we'll COM
prenended, when it only take one hour to be
as good bread maker as any woman in the
land who has mixed dough all her lifetime.
