A DISTINGUISHED PARSONAGE,

Nlr. II. D. Conway, the London correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial, states that q
mooting Ut the loading publishers and authors
OF London was recently held at a room 10 pater-
noster Row; that the Meeting was convened to
hear MI important statement from distin-
guished porsonagofrom tho United 5tatea on tho
Bubject of International copyright. Tho distip-
gui6hed American addressed the meeting, point
ing out the great losses sustained by British
authors and publishers for the want Of prop
cr legal protection in tho United states.
He stated tho grievance worry forcibly, and
thon informed tho meeting that, SO fur as
obtaining the proper Legislation from Congress-
was concerned, tho question waa merely one of
money. lie offered, that if those IN England,
who woro SO deeply interested, vera willing to
contribute n certain sum OF monoy, he would
undertake to put 1t where it would secure tile
/ passage Of tho necessary bill through Congress
at ts naxt session. Ue nude thus offer 80 plain
" aud distinctly that Ills good filth WIS not
questioned, and several publishers expressed
their Willingness to subscribe liborally. 4 ge,l-
tloman present, who Is described as an 'euainent
| autAor,' declared tho proposition to 10 s]lamo-
full QUO for Amorica aud III inault to English
literary men, and Indignantly loft the room,
! ind was followed by nearly all Of tho
authors. That waa the end Of the matter.
1t will DO observed TINT This story has two very

1nny bo TINT all Americans who reach Europe

TIE DETROIT DRmEE.

Ono Of the projects for cheaponing transpor-
tation between the East and West, by faciti-
tatiug it, ia tho schema for O. bridge across tue
Detroit River ut Detroit. This plan LAS gained
very favorable consideration, and Doard OF
Engineers has been appointed by the state Of
Michigan to report on Its feasibility. President
Joy, Of the Michigan Coutral Railroad has nd
dressed tho Board communication on the qucs.
tlon, which presents conclusive reasons in favor
Of tho construction of the bridge. Every wiuter
many millions Of bushels Of grain arc locked up
at Chicago and other lake ports FOR lack Of
transportation. The productions Of hundreds Of
thousands Of farmers and others arc thus With
held from market for aoyeral months, aud in al-
dition to tlis loss they ure subjected to tho
oxpenRo Of storage and loss Of interest. Lust
winter tho railroad transportation which
CROSSES tho Detroit niyor at Dotroi:
by forry WAS interrupted two months by the
leo. Three thousand cars accumulated OH the
borders Of the river, and tho obstruction ia esti
mated to hayo cost the railroads fully million
dollars. Their damage was slight compared
grain in tho West, tho amount Of ovory mans
business and tho comfort Of every household,
,saa affected. 1t WAS n sacrifice OF part Of eyory
bushol of graiu, Of every hog and beoyo, and
oyery stick OF timber, and tax on all tho iudus-
try Of the country. al immense relief, Afr. Joy
Hhows. could bo gained by bridging tho river ut
Detroit. Transportation through that point
would then DO uninterrupted Tho saving Of
porshablo property, Of time, Of tho cost OF stor
aso, of intcro 1t. would bo felt upon every farm,
mud by every business man. It would give
roliof during tho winter months, and would
lower the price Of water transportation oil
tho rost Of tho year. Tho storollollscs
Of the West would bo continually drained.
Produce would move eastward continually, and
spring would open with mono OF tho hugo ac-
ounlulatlonB which now burden transportation
mud ruse freight rates to 15 40 conts busAel,
Tho only serious opposition to tho proposed
bridge Ia made by those Interested in lalto nayi
gaton WHO think it would subject tlleir business
to too much competition, and That tic draws OF
the bridge would interfere with tho passage Of
yassola. With regard to tho first point, AIr. Joy
worry portiuontly asks whethor tho good Of tho
public and tho interests Of Sl00 GOO of rail-
why property ought not to outwetght tho $780,
100000 invested In shipping. Az to the second
objection, l,o Hhowa by tho experience OF tho
shippers through tho Chicago River, when yeH-
soils pass through the draw of tho pltts.

COUNTERFEIT MONEY.

We were shown at the Citizens Savings
Bank, in this place, few days ago, a counter
felt fifty dollar legal tender note, which had
been recently paid to citizen of this county
by one of the banks at Charlotte, N. G. A
large number of these notes are said to be
circulating in this State and North Carolina,
and we deem it necessary to mention the fact,
in order to put the unwary on their guard
against them. The note is tolerably we'll ex-
ecuted but its spuriousness can be readily
detected on examination. The ink used in
printing both the face and the back is much
lighter in depth of color than on the genuine.
The paper is harsh and stiff whittier than the
genuine and does not contain the veins or
streaks which on the genuine paper are woven
in during the process of manufacture. The
streaks can be readily seen by holding the
bill to the light. In the genuine note Of the
same denomination and series, there is small
mark or "hourish" between the words "series
of" and 1859" near the $50" in the left hand
corner. In the counterfeit this Flourish" or
mark is absent. There are other means Of
detecting the worthlessness of the bill, but the
above tests are sufficient.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.

Washington letter writer's report that the
cotton tax refunding bill is killed. They say
the committee having it in charge will report
against it. The adverse report, it is supposed,
will be made on the ground that the scheme
is intended for the benefit of spectators, in
stead of the cotton producers.
A bill to increase the currency S5,000,000
per annum for FIVE years is before Congress,
and was to have been taken up by the Bank
ing and Currency Committee on Tuesday.
Some of the members of the committee are in
favor of amending the bill by attaching to it
provisions for free banking, which will prob
ably kill the original bill.
Mr.. Sherman's bill, providing for free
banking, to take effect from July next, and
the resumption of specie payment in January
next, meets with considerable favor in both
Houses of Congress. It is regarded as the
only feasible mode of reaching specie pay
ments.
"A Washington dispatch says that Elliott,
colored member of Congress from the 3rd
South Carolina District, has arrived in Wash
ington in good mental and physical health.
1t is also reported that Elliott says "he has
abandoned all interest in the late Senatorial
fight, and intends letting the Senate decide on
Pattersons qualifications without his assis-
tance"
Petitions from various cities, asking the
removal of the tax on deposits in savings
banks, will be presented in the Senate in a few
days. This tax is asked to be taken off on
the ground that it is tax on the industrial
interests and labor of the country, and, mas
much as the income tax has been abolished,
the poor classes claim equal justice with the
rich.
The two claimants for the Louisiana sen.
atorship have presented: their certificates,
which were referred to the Committee on
Elections. The antecedents of Pinchback are
we'll known. His contestant, General W. L.
Mcmillan, elected by the Warmoth Lcgisla,

penitentiary, returned to his home last week,
having served out his sentence.
Hon. James L. Orr, recently appointed
Minister to Russia, left Columbia on Thursday
last, en- route for New York, from whence he
will proceed to his destination. He is accom-
panied by a son and daughter.
The Lantern gives the following as the
result Of the municipal election at Rock Hill
on the 18th instant: Intendent-Col. R. NJ.
Sims. Wardens-R. L. May, Allen Jones,
j. j. Hagins and Foster Wood.
Trial Justice J. G. Mackey, died in Char
lesion last week at the age of forty-cight
years. He was native of that city, and a
half brother Of the wcllknown Masonic wr-
ter, DR.. Albert G. Mackey, and brother of
Judge Thomas j. Mackey.
w. J. Whipper has written letter to the
Legislature acknowledging his neglect to turn
over the records Of the sinking fund commits
sion, but excusing himself by charging other
acts of negligence upon Ex-Governor Scott and
the other commissioners.
The Union Times announces the death, at
that place, last week, of Rev. F. Bruce Davis,
Rector of the Episcopal Church in Union, by
being thrown from his horse Mr.. Davis was
son of the late Right Rev. Thomas F. Davis,
Bishop of the Diocese of South Carolina.
The bill before the legislature to aid and
encourage manufactures and internal i'm
provements, was amended on its reading so as
to exempt manufacturers of cotton and wool
en- fabrics, and agricultural implements and
railroads from all taxes, except two mills for
school purposes.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer
FROM UNION COUNTY.
sPARTANBURG AND THE AIR LINE-L1ME'
STONE SPRINGS.


sPARTANBURG AND THE AIR. LINE-L1ME'
STONE. SPRINGS.
The Air Line drags its slow length along.
The people in Spartanburg are growing i'm
patient. They think the Pennsylvania Gen.
trail slow company. They have been ready
and waiting ever so long, and still the road
has not been finished to their place. Conse'
quently, they fret and quarrel and the Air
Line moves on in its own way.
The iron is laid from Charlotte to Thickety,
four miles west from Limestone Springs The
bridge over that stream is to be erected, and
then they have to build a trestle over Little
Thickety, and lay the track to Pacolet, about
nine miles, before the road is complete to
Spartanburg. The sanguine say this will be
about the middle of February. The old
farmers say about the first of April.
The Spartanburg folks promise themselves
great things upon the completion Of this road.
They will soon grow to city size, and have
wholesale stores, and mayors, and public Ii
braries, and the best of everything that is
going. And then they must havea road from
their place to Augusta, and from their place
to Asheville, and so there will be no end to
their greatness. This same impatient town is
hard at work, however. Their schools are
prosperous. Their stores are the best possible,
without the completion of the Air Line.
New houses are springing up, here and there,
and the old ones undergoing repairs
Limestone Springs is undergoing some
changes. The property, formerly belonging to
DR.. Wm. Curtis, has recently been sold. Some
of these same Spartanburg folks are the pur-
chasers A company bought one-half Of this
property about two years ago, and lately
they purchased the greater portion of the
other half: They, as soon as practicable, will
develop the lime and marble resources Of the
place. The Air Line passes within mile Of
the quarries, and the depot will not be farther
off than two miles, if so far. Consequently
these products can be delivered at the road in
great abundance and at reduced rates. They
also contemplate starting female high school
in the old Seminary. This was once the most
popular school in the State. The place is re-
markably healthy-the house we'll suited for
school and while it is quite accessible, it is
a retired, quiet country place-the very place
for female school, r.

final vote, in the apparent hope Of firing out
the friends of the bill. A dozen test votes
we're taken on as many dilatory motions made
by the opponents of the bill, and each vote
showed that fve-sixths of the senators were in
favor of its passage. Finally decisive vote
was reached about five P. NJ, and the bill
passed its second reading by i vote of twenty
four to five; the only senators voting against
the bill being Corwin, colored, of Lancaster,
Jamison, colored, Of Orange eourg, Jones, COL
ored, Of Williamsburg, and Whittemore, of
Darlington.
"The bill, as passed, repeals the fourth Sec
tion of tile Blue Ridge act, and takes it out
of the power of the comptroller-general to
levy any tax for any purpose whatever, unless
expressly authorized hereafter by the statutes
to do So"
