COLUMBIA, s.. c., September 4, 1872.
To the President and Board or Directors of TIE
Carolina National Bank
G~ENTLEMRN-I have the honor to apply to
YOU for aid for the State Lunatic Asylum. The
Legislature made a liberal appropriation last
winter for the support Of this institution, but l
have been unable, up to this time, to draw q
single dollar of this appropriation; aud we're 1t
not for the indulgence ofthe merchants and
the benevolence OF those who have lent us
money, the inmates of the Institution would
have been turned out into thu streeis, depep-
dent upor Individual charity, and the institu-
ton closed. Our creditors find our Indebted.
ness to them 30 serious an embarrassment
that they cannot extend Us further
credit, unless they are paid at least apart
OF their present accounts. This places
the Institution again In immediate peril. Once
before, when our household was on the verge
of suffering for the neoessaries OF life, you
kindly came to our relief, and kept the gaunt
monster starvation from our doors ior several
months. Your kindness to us In the past en-
courages me to appeal to you In this our
prsseSt extremity. The amount of five thou.
sand dollars would relieve our present wants,
year till the taxes are collected, when
the State treasury will be able to pay the ap'
proprlatlon made for the Institutions sup.
Hoping and believing you VIII, II possTbIei
come to our relief, l remain. very truly and
respectfully, J.F ENsoR,
SUPERINTENDENT.

THE WOOL FAMINE.

We noticed last week that wool
was very scarce, and that the price
had gone up to one dollar per pound
The Chicago Daily Times of Feb.
20r1, says:
The market for wooden goods
continues III an excited state, and
the entire trade east and west are
beginning to realize the tact that
this country is in the midst of 3
wool famine. The assumption that
some considerable portion OF the clip
OF last y ear was held on speculation
is entirely exploded by the fact that
an offer of 81 per pound by eastern
manufacturers has 1aiIed to draw
out n supply. On this point the
New YoIk Economist OF the 18th
inst. says:
IAN offer of 95c per ID for the
Billings wool, in Boston, failed 10
secure any supplies last week, aud
an offer OF one dollar now will not
secure any vast quantity, tor tO-mOr-
row it will be worth five cents per
ID more. Yes, we repeat, tub-wash-
ed woods, which could be bought
yesturday at 80 cents, are So cents
to-day, and will be q dollar to-mor-
row. Truly the state of the wool
market is frightful, and manufacture
ers " no have not bought any wool
lately are now positively amazed 81
the quotations prevalent. 1t would
be almost useless to enter into de-
tails respecting prices, as they keep
advancing every moment, and the
sales which We give below afford
but q faint idea of closing rates.
| Nothing buJ - general stOppage O1
machinery .cr ;iie next sixty days
will afford any l>lieI to the manu-
tactuFers. They may 60 on until
they bid wool up to ten shillings
per pound, but this will form no
adequate, no permanent relief. To
stop the mills is All evil we know,
and is much To be deplored, yet for
the moment we can see no other
remedy lett to check the upward
tendency of prices.
Such is the condition of the Amer
lean wool market, hence, woolens
must needs follow the upward track
of the new material. Aud, what is
more deplUrable at this time, the
condition of the foreign wool mar
ket is no better than our own. Ali
foreign woods are in light stocks,
and, as in this country, prices are
rapidly advancing. Eastern advi-
ces place Cape woods at Soc per
pound, while Amste. dam woods, to
arrive, are taken by our manufac-
turers at Csc. But even in those
woods there is not q shadow of relief
as England, Germany, and France
being equally hard-pressed for sup.
ply, will continue to OuIbid us In
those markets. Hence, we repeat
what was stated but q few days
since in tho Times. that, should cong
repel the wool tariff inm ediately il
would afford no adequate relief to
our manufactures, or quiet the ex-
element in the market until the
present years clip is ready for the
spindle. Taking the census report
for 1871 as a basis, in which the
number of sheep in all the states
and territories are put down at 81 ,
83l 500, and allowing AZ lbs pei
head most liberal calculation
the clip for the present year would
reach las, 1928, 500 lbs, which would
be q slight increase over the clip Of
1871, providing the increase of fOckl
during the past year were equal tc
the number that have been slaugh.
tered, which is very improbable, to
say the least.

a chanIain of The State nriao

A chaplain of the State prison,
an enthusiastic devotee Of tenn
perance reform, had the idea that
most Of the convicts were incar-
cerated because OF the of whisky.
In his round he met Q sturdy man
of many stripes, and put the usual
question to him: Had whisky
anything to do with bringing you
here" Everything, sir, every
thing!" explained the man. The
chaplain was encouraged, and Ca
gerry inquired how it was. .aWell,
sir, I'll tell you how it was; the
judge was drunk, and the lawyers
were all drunk, and so they fetch
ed me in guilty.
