HfTE LABOR IN SOUTH CARoLINA.-Ihp
Agricultural and Mechanical Society oil
South Carolina seem determined to intro
duce reliable labor into the State, and ac-
cordingly we find that one of the most
gigantic enterprises ever undertaken in the
South is now on foot in Charleston. As
will be seen by an advertisement in an
other column, an immigration Association
has been organized for the purpose of Sc
curing settlers upon their lands, and in
order to raise the necessarily large capital
required, they have adopted the expedient
of series Of Gift Concerts, to begin in
Charleston, in October; the ticket holders
of which will be participants in the gran
dest opportunity eVer. offered to become
rich at o small risk and with a clear con-
science. The number of tickets issued is
100000, and the price is Ave dollars each.
The first prize is the Academy Of Music,
including stores, music halls, &C., built at
q cost Of $3.50, 000. The second prize is
one hundred thousand dollars in cash, the
third is twenty-five Thousand dollars the
fourth ii ten thousand dollars and the fifth
is Ave thousand dollars. besides which,
there are twenty -four hundred gifts vary
ing from ten TO one thousand dollars. The
scheme has the unqualified endorsement
Of the best citizens of South Carolina. men
known in oil parts of the United States.
Generals Butler and Gary were both
distinguished officers IN the Confederate
service, the former having lost q leg at
Brandy Station, one Of the most hotly con-
tested cavalry fights Of the war. Both be-
long to old families in Carolina, and have
been doing their best since the war to re-
store peace in their State under the United
States Government, Gen. Butler having
been q candidate for Lieutenant Governor
under the Reform party, which acknowl-
edged the political equality of the races.
MI. Chadwick is o Northern gentleman of
large means, who has settled 10 Charleston,
and devoted his wealth, energy and enter
prise To the recnpefation of the South. He
is at present the owner d the Academy Of
Music in Charleston and other valuable
real estate in South Carolina.

MESSRs. RULE d KICKS:
We nave had some pretty dry, hot wealth
er IN SEWER the past month, and corn and
vegetation of all kinds are rapidly burning
up, and If 1t does not rain soon corn will
undoubtedly be short. We have had sew
eral deaths in Sewer this summer. There
has been about dozen persons buried in
one grave yard since harvest. Old
Shiloh seems to be rapidly filling up. Du-
ring this week there were three women
the wives of p. p. Seaton, Capt. e. NJ.
Wynnland Mr. Bunch Kerry, were all bur-
led at Shiloh. Mrs. Seaton was the daugh-
ter of Col. VIM. Pickens, of Blont County 4:
Mrs. i. Nj. Wynn the daughter of Jno. S
Irotter, all leaving infants from the ages
OF one hour to two weeks old.
Chickens are dying of cholera hogs
are scarce but horses and mules plenty !:
cattle tolerable plenty; wheat scarce, and
old corn the same, and new corn will be if
IT does not rain sooh. People are attend
ing the Springs now and going to church.
A large protracted meeting commenced at
Henderson's Springs to-day.
Glover seed is fine and there will be n
good deal raised in the county Fine crops
of hay have been raisedE peaches plenty,
but apples scarce. We had fine crops Of
oats-I mean the black winter-the Nor
way was very trifling; people will ADAM
don sowing any of them next year-too
much OF humbug. JOHN w. ANDES.

SYNDICATE.-Recent financial negotia-
tons in connection with the new govern
ment loan have brought into use among us
term heretofore unknown in our business
circles. As it is said that Syndicate"
has agreed to take the loan, an explanation
OF the word is necessary. In the French
commercial law "syndic" is the assignee
of am insOlvent's or bankrupt's estate, and
a syndicate is the body of assignees, or
,syndics. But the real meaning to be at
tached to the phrase is simply that of
committee or board of directors, "syndi-
cate" in the European business world an
swerlng substantially to a board, commit
tee or ag ency among u.s.

The New York market has declined &c
since ,he opening to-day, and Liverpool
is quiet, with sales of but 10000 1t is
generally the case that just previous to
the end of the month some of the
shorts " settle at buyers figures, which,
for the time being, depresses the market,
while Immediately afterward the market
takes an upward turn, and those who IRE
left short on the last day Of the month
are the ones to suffer Whether that is
the case now or not we are unable to say !;
but presume that, from the closeness Of
the money market East, and an inactive
market for the staple during the holiday
week, there are some buyers who are
obliged to realize before the lst prox.
However, that has but little influence
upon this market. Factors may be
found who would realize at lower basis
than l9I to l9lc for middling; but only
small lots can be found at those figures.
A majority offer at l9b to l9lc, and
would rather hold until after the Holt
days than to sell at low prices. There
is but little doing, however, sales up ia
noon being hardly 900 bales. Yester
day they we're 1000. We quote as fol

Can a wife ne an Informer.

This question came up before Judge
Lowell in the United States District
Court yesterday, for decision, in case
where party had settled a suit against
him by the payment of certain sum.
The former wife of the party to the suit
appeared as an informer, and it was on
her information the goods leigars and
tobacco) were seized. She claimed the
informer's share Of the sum received.
The Government attorney objected, on
the ground that a wife could not legally
be an informer against her husband;
but It appeared that she had been d.
voreed from her husband, and the Judge
accordingly decided that she could be
an informer ia the case. He remarked,
however, that he should not have allowed
the claim if the parties were living to-
gether as man and wife.-Boston Her
