When Mr.. Bonner paid $40. .oeO for
Dexter, it was considered an enormous
price to. pRy for an;.snimal that can live
but few years dt' feRst.. and may die to-
morrow. What Longfeilow. before Ills
accident, would have brought, or Harry
Bassett would bring now under the
BANNER, it is impossible to tell; but We
may put it at considerable more than
Mr.. Bonner gave for Dexter. All
horses of this GLASS are held at what is
aptly called "fancy prioes." and until
they find purchaser, it is impossible to
do more than approximate to their value.
In England. redently, Mr.. Tattersall sold
Blair Athol, winner of the Derby, and
described as 1.-The best horse in the
world" for over 100000, the highest
price ever obtained at auotion or private
sale. Blair Athol was purchased by a
company recently formed in England for
stock raising and the breeding and
training OF race horses. The company
appears to be purchasing for heavy price
the finest stock in England. and among
the novel corners now made in almost
everything purchasable, we should not
be surprised to see soon announced in
the English papers 'cofner in race
horses"

THE CATERPILLAR. This pest appears
to be running completely over the plan
tations below Augusta. Yesterday we
stated that theyJhad appeared below the
city, but had not effected any damages
yet. We have received information
since that they are ''riddling" the cotton
plants, and that OF many fields. it ia
thought that if n particle is saved. it will
be q ouriosity. On the South Carolina
side, the caterpillars are continuing their
ravages, especially in the section oppo-
site the upper part of the city.

Heavy fires are now raging in the
woods below Richmond, Va, and cover
an area of from 1000 to 1000 acres.
The fields of grass of this years growth,
in their dry and parched condition from
the drought, were burned over like stub.
bic. and two houses wore consumed in
the progress OF the flames.

GEN. LzE's COUNSEL TO HIS Son.

During the war Northern papers pub.
lished' the following excellent and cha
racteristio private letter from Gen. Lee
TO his son Custis, the original of which
vas found among the papers which were
purloined from Arlington House. It is
interesting; and, although written many
yesrs:ago. will well repay peruaal:

They have given myself and your mother

this hasty letter, inform you that nearly
loo years ago there was day of remark
uble gloom and darkness, still known as
the dark day, day when the light OF the
sun was slowly extinguishcd as if by an
eclipse. The Legislature of Connecti-
cut was in session, and, as its members
saw the unexpected and unaccounta to bIe
darkness coming on, they shared in the
general awe and terror. It WAS supposed
by many that the last day-the day of
ludgment-had come. Some one, in the
CONSERVATION of the hour, moved an ad-
Journment. Then there arose an old
Puritan egislator-Davenport Stanford
who said thnt if the last day had come

The New Yof& FIndncfdf C1r6AiGe Of the
9th, says, "a special meeting of the
governing comuittee of the stook ex::
change was held this week. to. eonaider
the matter of the regist<etlon, of the
South Carolina State bonds: II will be
remembered that some time ago the GO.
yerniDg committed resolved that all
State bonds to be dealt in upon the ex.
change to be good delivery shoald be
registered in this city on or before the
lat of September, 1872. Under this pro.
vision the State of South Carolina ap-
pointed the Oommefbial Warehouse
Company, of this city, as their register
ing agents. It has since been asct r
tained that this company has charged
ono per cent. as the registering fee, and
many OF the holders of the bonds have
objected to paying it. The charge is
looked upon as excessive, as the bonds
amount to SIG, 900. QUO, and would there.
fore give the company on the entire
transaction a profit of Sl60.000. The
matter was considered at the meeting
yesterday. and it was resolved to extend
the time Of registrating in this one case
indefinitely. The holders OF the bonds
will, therefore, not be compelled to re-
gister them, and it is thought that by
this means the charge OF the registrars
will be reduced"

The attention OF the young men of the
State is specially asked to the call in to-
days paper, issued by 8. A. Pearoe. Jr.,

call is one that should receive careful at
tention ut this time, and the opportunity
should not be neglected OF organizing
what. in South Carolina, is new party.
One which, conceding to colored men all
the rights and privileges possessed by
the whites, takes away all difficulties
that have heretofore existed to the Joint
action of the young and less prejudicud
of both races in tho State in building up
new State. which, although differing
widely from the old. will, We trust and
believe, be vast Improvement on the
