Having, as you ore aware, m igrat ed to the sunny South, 1 thought a few lines conveying m y first impression thie portion of our great country, w ould, perchance, be acceptable. 1 am residing on a farm of forty acres within the corpo rate limits of the town of Aiken, a place of about 1 6 0 0 inhabitants, rapidly on the in- ‘crease, and famous for the purity of its clear atmosphere. People from all parts of t t a world eongregote here for the benefit of pulmonary oomplaints; all of them are benefited, and some are actually cured. Every thing eeema high and dry about tare, often too dry during tho Summer, J fancy. The soil cannot be compared with that of the State of New York, still it ap pears that farmers from Ohio, Michigan, New York and the Northern Statee gener ally confess that by careful culture their gain from an acre here is greater than from the acre of their native soil. The foot is two crops can be raised during one season, besides cotton at twenty-five cents per pound is rather more profitable than com. The coil is sandy, porous, and absorbs moisture freely; consequently even after a heavy rain t t a roads are dry and olean. Since my arrival here some three weeks ago the weather has tae more like weather of t t a m onth of Sep tember an your Scale than tt a vigorous soldo! Deoesnhsr in tt a same latitude. Alt hough eome of t t a |n ig h ts have ta r n verv cold, t t a davs aro balmy and exceed ingly pleasant. I discovered a day er two ego in my flower garden a beautiful red room, apparently re unconcerned abont Jack Froet r e any thing could be, end butterflies are caught every .where, to t a forwarded, as .tro p h y of t h . fair W inter of t t a country, in letters to friends living in less favored climes. I am w riting this by open doors and windows, the flies playing lustily over table and paper. The climate, in fact, is charming, invigorating and without a com parison.

In all tares schools ( t t a high sobools excepted) they have only female teachers, tta one having “ A Grammar School” being principal of the building. The executive branch consists of e Super intendent, having general charge of all, and four assistants or principals of districts, each having charge of one of the foar dis tricts, into which (for supervision only ) the city is divided. This seems to us the j lister plan, rather than that, which like oar own, divides the city into districts which have to build their own houses; aa property is not ordinarily equally distributed in each locality. Thus principals have each about forty teachers under them; and their time is given entirely to visiting schools, not teaching a t all except incidentally. The number of children enrolled between the ogee of six and twenty-one years, is twenty seven thousand six hundred, of these twelve thousand are enrolled OR the registers of tho publie schools, with an average daily attendance of seven thousand three hundred; beaide whioh the Cutholio schools have a daily attendance of fonr thousand, and the German schools two thousand. Music is taught by the teachers under d i rection of a music teacher, w ith recitations each session ; reading tau g h t largely by the use of miscellaneous periodicals of which \O u r Young Folks\ and the “ N u r s e r y ” are the m o st in use for th e different g rades ; aud th e success in exciting an in terest and securing a satisfactory and intelligent r e n dering of th e s u b ject m a tter has been hig h ly gratifying. Drawing is only tau g h t in the high school, and from objects only in stead of copies— with th e intention of its general introduction if successful. W e are under many obligations to Mr. A. J. Jlic- koff, the Superintendent, for furnishing ev ery facility in his power in visiting the schools end becoming acquainted with the system, its workings, and gaining all de tails of interest. Mr. Rickoff came from Cincinnati to take the position, Which he has held three years, and brings ability, integrity,and great earnestness to hia work, and we hope he will long remain as he bids fair to in a place to which he seems so well adapted.

[ F r o m th e Chlctpo T r i b u n e . ] Four or five years ago one of the most aristocratic churches on Wabash avenue waa the scene of one of the most stylish marriages of that period. The edifice was handsomely decorated for the occasion, a carpet stretched down the steps and scrota the sidewalk, and all other accessories that give eclat to such events, were prepared to match. The (bridegroom, a yoang man of twenty-aix or twenty-seven, a partner in one of tt a largest bookbindery and station ary houses r a Lake street, Was a great fav orite with oar fashionable twigs about town, and the bride, the daughter of a well-to-do citisen, wae greatly beloved for her beauty and many graces and accom plishments. Few young couples enter mar ried life with brighter prospects, or with more heartfelt wishes of tuccess from their acquaintances and friends. A t first all was prosperous. They occupied a com fortable house on one of the avenue?, and lived a life of unalloyed happiness, b u t with time came troubles. Tbe young h u s band proved too fond of company, and com pany too fond of him. He hod always been somewhat fond of liquor, and now began to give license to his desire. Ho was extremely kind-hearted, and generous to a fault. He was always ready to loan money, and never entered e saloon, bat all the company moat drink with him. His habits of Ufo soon began to tell on his business, and one day hie found him self without any. Bat his father-in-law tad means, and taing anxious for the hoppineeo and welfare of hia daughter, he stinted the young man in trade again. This time r a Waahington street. Tta desire for strong drink, however, had now become a ruling passion. Business waa again neg lected, and t t a value of the entire concern waa soon squandered among unworthy as sociates. He now became little better than a vagrant, and went to any extreme to gratify his craving for strong drink. The only money t a really “ earned” during the past six or eight months was done so by sit ting on twenty-five oent juries in justices’ i. Every friend he ever had, or any whose acquaintance, by hook or crook, ta oould scrape, woo badgered for drinks, and he became t t a general abhorrence of saloon keepers, however glad they might have been to see him a t one time. Latterly tta effect of t t a liquor became visible on every pert of t t a body, end serious fears were entertained tb a t he would boom day beoome tt a victim of spontaneous oumbus- WOOL A N D WOOLENS. o o B F u e n N O p b o t b c t i o b o f t h e OBOWBB AVD MANUFACTURER—DEPRESSED STATE o r BOTH INDUSTRIES—BOW TO REVIVE t h e i r P m o s r n t r r r - A m a s t e r l y s t u d y IV r e n thcB spsst al Bpeslal O i a a M i t u Well?.] In M a rta, 1867, on act waa pasaod by Congress, in noosing t t a duties r a tt a im portation of wool r a d woolens to a degree uuBsnredontod, and far in advance of the _ rate of t t a then existing tariff.

Measures to accomplish this ob ject were sooordingly eet on foet; and os the sahem e looked especially toward the pro motion of t t a interest of the agriculturalists of the country, it gave promise of success from its very outset. M eantime, th e m a n u facturers of wool clearly perceiving th a t a restriction of supply and increase of t h e price of wool, w o u ld place them at a disadvantage in respoct to foreigu com petition, becam e alarm e d , and proposed cooperation to th e W o o l G row ers’ Associ ation. T h e offer waa accepted, t h e parties entered into union, and by mean3 of dele gates entered upon t h e ir w o rk. W h a t was this work? N o t to increase the revenues of th e national treasury; n o t to prom o te the great interests of th e great mass of the people t o w h o m woolen fabrics are alm ost as great a necessity as food and shelter; nor to increase tho wages or comforts of the laborers w h o grow th e wool or m anu faeture th e cloth; b u t sim p ly and exclu sively to inflnenoe legislation for th e pro m o tion of t h e ir respective private gains and interests. The basis of the agreement on which the two interests united waa substantially ss follows: T h a t the du ty on raw or unw a shed wools and hair, other th a n wools a d a p ted for c a r pets, should bo fixed a t r a tes varying from ten to tw e lve cents per pound, and from ten to eleven per cent, ad valorem. In o r der, theD, to compensate th e m a n u facturer for such prospective enhancem e n t of the price of his raw m a terial, i t was agreed th a t , in consideration of th e fact t h a t four pounds of th e cheapest im p o rted wool, (Mestiza) p a y ing a n aggregate d u t y of forty- six cents, w ere e m p loyed in th e fabrication of a pound of finished cloth, th e duty on cloth should be fifty cents per pound, and on o ther fabrics of wool of varying w e ight a d u ty in like proportion. In order, next, to give th e m a n u facturer protection against his foreign com p e titor, twenty-five per cent. a d valorem was’ a d d e d ; and m order t o fur ther sompensate for th e payment of on in ternal revenue tax of s ix per cent., w h ich ta x was repealed in the succeeding year, ten per cent, more was added, thus making th e aggregate duties on c loths, shaw ls and woolen goods generally, fifty cents per pound and thirty-five per c e n t, ad valorem. I t w ill t h u s be seen t h a t if th e m a n u factu rers, os is often alleged, did not en ter into the arrangement for an increase of duties through t b e i r own seeking, t h e y neverthe less m anaged to secure full compensation for a ll t h a t w a s granted to th e wool-grow- ers; and in addition to th a t , th ro u g h forec of s u b sequent circum stances, an additional protection in excess of w h a t, according tc th e ir own showing, they considered neces sary. N e a rly tw o yeara have now elapsed since these m easures were consum m ated, giving am p le tim e for experience to t e s t the principle. And w h a t, to-day, is th a t expe rience? 1. Wool to the agriculturist a t a lower price in gold then hea almost ever before been experienced; the averago priee of m e dium American washed wools from 1827 to 1862 having been 42 8-10 cente per pound, (gold), w h ile the average price of Ohio wools for th e year 1868, reduced to gold, was only 35.21 eents; w h ich is less than th e average price of 1858, when, under th e influence of t h e disastrous c risis of 1857, a large portion of th e m ills of t h e country were standing absolutely idle. For the year 1859, tho price paid in Ohio for m e dium wools, according to th e estim a tes pre sented to th e commission sr, has been a b o n t 43 c e n ts, currency. 2. A decrease in t h e num b e r of sheep in th e U n ited States, estim a ted by th e Com m issioner cf A g riculture a t four m illions for the single year, 1868, while o ther au thorities place th e to tal decrease as high as 25 per eent., since th e passage of th e wool tariff. In t t a whole history of the fluctuations of American industry there never has been a more discouraging and disastrous record than that presented by t t a Department of Agriculture in ita report for March and April, 1869; some raven pages of which are occupied w ith a detailed statement of the oondition of sheep husbandry in one hun dred and seventy counties of twenty-one different States, in only one of which (Missouri) is there any thing w h ich indi cates e condition of even m o d erate pros perity, for this particular branch of in dustry. 3. A condition of th e woolen manufac ture, characterized by a greater depression than that of any other branch of industry in the country, with the exception of ship building; small profits accruing to a few, heavy losses to tiie many, with num erous and oonstantly recurring failures. A t the date of writing, November, 1S69, the at tention of the Commissioner is celled to the sale of a woolen mill property, which will give to the stockholders $105,000 upon a capital of $700,000, thus showing a loss of eaghtv-five p er cent, of the whole capital in fraaa fonr to five yeara of operations. A A n increase in the importation of foreign fabrics of wool; the imports for the fi seal year 1868 being returned a t $32,458,- 884, and for 1869 a t $31,020,943. 5 . Encouragement of smuggling, and its apparent reduction to a system. During the first year of the increased duties ou the imports of wool and woolens into the United States (1867), the importation of woolen goods into Canada frcm Great B ri tain were returned at $8,012,439 os com pared w ith $5,489,039 in 1865, or two years previously. The report of the Boston Board of Trade for January, 1869, says, significantly: “ I t isjwell known that Cana- d u n tailors openly solicit orders for cloth ing te bs delivered here et low prices, and —• countenanced in it by men of high snding in this community.” I t in also to t a noted th a t “ Cape wool?,” bita tt a existing tariff will not-permit moriflSft manufocturera to impact, are now ri serins into Canada in cooriderahle qaan- titisn, both by direct importation and by s m W a a m bond fraaa American porta of ratey; thna proving th a t ew tainbranctas of woof industry which have bran crushed ont in th e United Statee ore srtablishing thsmesivra aeroas tha frontier. And i t is further tt a opinion of thara conversant with thsra imports, th a t thaw will nearly all, in t t a form of fabric, ultimately find their way into tt a United States withont payment of any d u ty. The manner in which tho present ex* travagant duties on the importation of for eign wools operate to prevent the prosperity aiul extension of the domestic woolen manu facturing industry, and to reduce the price of domestic wool, ia a m a tter not difucnli of explanation. The wools of the United States ore msin- pneo almost o i t t a oratory, oould n o t now h e imported* oven t t a stasnra of all duty, and sold a t so w a prioe as t t a average prioee which XX ISO wools have commanded during the a t season in t t a New York market. OB t t a other hand, wools which the oz- rotoT? th*<^ m i 7 m * t f t e * T h u i a n a itb a r a r t g r o » * to t t o C a itod S tates, o r grow n in very lim ited a n d in sufficient q u a n tities. T t a A merican m a n u facturer, therefore, being restricted in t t a selection of his r a w m a terial, ia, o f n e c essity, restricted in th e v a riety of h is p r o d u c ts; and the great q u a n tity of m achinery b rought into existence by t h e dem a n d s of th e w a r, hoe, in consequence, been forced, in great port, into one line of production ; over stocking the m a r k e ts w ith certa n descrip tions of fabrics, u n n a turally reducing pri- oes, r e s tricting diversity and extension of production, and bringing disaster upon the whole business of wool m a n u facturing. T h a t this has been and will continue to be th e inevitable effect of restrictions im posed by th o existing t a r iff r a im p o rtation of desirable w ools is a lso c learly show n by th e Commissioners of tho U u ited S tates te t t a P a r is E x p o sition of 1867, in t h e ir r e p o rt on “ W ool a n d M a n u factures of W o o l.” In th is r e p o r t (w ritten b y a gentlem a h w h o has no superior in general intelligence and specific a c q u aintance w ith th e m a n u facture of wool in t h e U n ited States, b u t w h o , a t th e aame tim e , ostensibly supports the ex isting tariff r e strictions), th e author ou his first page a n d i n hia first lines, gives th e following u th e r e s u lt of h is s tudy and in spection of th e greatest variety of wools a n d m anufactures of wool e v e r b rought together in one collection. H e says: “ T h e first im press ion mode upon an Am e rican m anu foe tu r e r b y an observation of th e woolen m anufactures of Europe, as displayed a t the Exposition, is th e im m e asurable advantage w h ich th e woolen m a n u facturer of Europe h u in th e comm and of an unlim ited s u p ply $1 wool, and o ther raw m a terials of every variety, free of du ty . The policy of th e m o d ern governm e n ts of Europe is first and forem o st to develop th e m anufactures of th e ir several countries. Freedom from duties on raw m a terial and breadstnffs is one m e thod of protection.” A n d again “ T h e advantages w h ich t h e E u ropean en joys over th e A m e rican in th e comm and of an unlim ited supply of every variety of wool c a n n o t be over-estim a te d . T h e range of fabrication of th e A m e rican m anufac tu r e r in clothing and oombing wools is lim ited to th e produce of Am e rican flocks, under th e alm o st prohibitory d u ty upon those wools. The European can select from th e peculiar products of every c lim ate aud soil o f th e whole w o rld. H e n c e the infinite v a riety of E u ropean m anufactures, and hence th e capacity of th e European m a n u facturer to relieve him self from home com p e tition b y changing at pleasure the character of h is fabrics. ” * * * * B u t i t m a y be said, have n o t th e woo) growers, who o u tnum b e r th e woolen m auu- factorers ten to one, any claim to right a nd protection? The answ e r to th is ia also very simple, and is to be found: first, in th e fact th a t u n d e r th e existing tariff, which affords a protection entirely in ac cordance w ith th e wishes of those who claim ed to represent tho interests of the wool grower, A m e rican dom estic wool has touched and m a intains a lower price than has alm o st ever before been experienced: and, secondly, th i i o th e r fact, w h ich can n e ither be ignored nor controverted, th a t th e periods w h e n tho A m erican wool grower has received th e highest price in gold for his wool, have been coincident w ith th a periods wheu im p o rted wools have beeu subjected to th e low e st duties—aa from 1853 to I860, w h e n wools costing less th a n tw e n ty cents per pound wero adm it tod tree of du ty . Thus circum stance duds a ready e x p lanation in the fact th a t during the periods referred to th e Am e rican m a n u f a c turer waa enabled to purchase cheaply and sell cheaply, and com p eting a d v a n ta geously w ith th e foreign producer, to f u r therm o re sell largely; and u n d e r the increased consum p tion which followed, the supply of d o m estic wool became inadequati to th e demand. A ll w h o a re fam iliar w ith th e history of G reat B ritain, moreover, know th a t when th a t country first abolished th e duties on foreign wool, th e wool growers m ade ear neat opposition to the m easure, in t h e ex pectation th a t th e i r interests w o u ld be de stroyed. N o such result followed; bu t, on th e c o n trary, from th a t d a y to this, the am o u n t of wool grow n , m a n u factured, ex ported, and consumed in G reat B ritain haa annually increased, and w ith great profit to all who w ere, either directly or indirectly, interested. T h a t th e experience of France i3 a b o to t h e same effect, is show n by a re cent r e p o r t b y M. B a u d rillard to th e E m peror of th e F rench on th is subject, in w h ich i t is proved th a t w h e n th e d u ty on wool was reduced in F rance from 35 to 22 per c e n t, a d valorem , th e price of wool in creased, and was m a intained a t from G to S p e r cent, above th e form er rates. Ac an explanation of this, M. B a u d rillard says “ T h e hom e p rodnct is not sufficient for the daily increasing w a n ts of our industry. E v e ry c h e ck throw n in th e w a y of t h e l a t te r affects its activity. As soon as m a n u facturers con n o t procure foreign wools, th e y decrease th e ir production, besause they c a n n o t Snd a t home th e r e q u ired q u a lities; and F r e n c h wool, w h ich they w ould have used to m ix in, lies abont in th e m a rkets. T h e statistical tables of E n g land lead exactly to th e same conclu sions—high du ty , low wool a t hom e; m od erate d u t y o r free wool, prices good a t hom e.” * * * * . \Wool from the date of tb e passage of th e wool tariff bill in M a rch. 18G7, ha3 continually fallen in price in Europe, aud European m a n u facturers have been e n a b le d to obtain th e ir supplies of raw m a terial at such low rates as to aFow them to over come th e obstacles of th e tarifi' and to con tinue th e ir im p o rtations. T h a t this fall of prices has been due in a great degree to the exclusion of foreign wools from th e U n ited S tates is acknow ledged by all w h o have exam ined t h e question. T h e official report by th e French commissioners of th e Paris Exposition to th e ir own governm e n t assigns it as one of t h e principal causes; and Mr. M e lm n th Schwortse, of London, one of th e largest wool brokers in th e world, in a re cent r e p o rt on t t a wool m a rket, takes the same uoaition, and in answ e r t o objections uses th e following language : “ I t is a rgued by some t h a t th e quantity of wool im p o rted by th e U n ited States is so inconsiderable, com p a red w ith th a t c o n sumed in Enrope, th a t i t cannot affect prices th e r e ; b u t such people forget th a t i t is th e last m illion pounds th a t m akes a scarcity or overstock*” I t is also a m a tter of im p o rtance for those who are interested in m a intaining the price of A m erican wools to note how the prices of foreign wools, such for example as a re brought from th e Cape of South Africa, have varied. Thus, in th e years 1859, ’GO ; and ’61, when these wools in a n unw a shed state were adm itted free of duty, th e i r c o s t a t t h e port of export w w from 18 to 19.4 cents per pound. In 1863, a d u ty of from th ree cente per pound te fixe per c e n t, a d valorem having been impoeed, th e price fell to 16.2 cents ; in 1864, the d u t y having been s till f a r t h e r increased to six cents p e r pound, t h e price fell in 1965 to 14.8 c e n ts . In th e first half of 1867 the prioe w r a 15.1 c e n te ; b u t in th e spring of th is year t h e d u ty was increased to ten cents per pound, and eleven per cent, ad valorem. , and for thn last six m o n ths of the year the price w as 13.4. Tn 1S68 the price still f u rther declined to 10.9, th u s giving th e E u ropean m a n u facturer an opportunity to purchase a t a less p n e e t h a n th e duties imposed under th e U n ited S tates tariff. B u t i t m a y be said, th a t , granting the tru t h cf a ll of t h e above statem e n ts ; g r a n t ing th a t wool r e tu r n s less in m oney to th e grow e r t h a n ever before; th a t th e num b e r of sheep in th e country is r a p idly dim inish ing; t h a t t t a w o o l-m a n u facturing industry is in a moot depressed a n d u n p rofitable c o n dition; t h a t foreign im p o rts a re increasing, and sm u g g ling becoming s y s tem a tized ; y e t aaach r a t a is enabled t o porehsra hse d o t h a t a price n e e rlv e r q u ite r a low r a previous to t t a w a r. l a s t th i s m a y t a tra e m re e f f s t a ir a i s »at die- s t h a w w h o am of A a existing duties toko very goed c a re c o t to m ention t t a fact th a t t h e prices of woolen goods, un d e r th e inflam e s of wool unnaturally sd, a a d improvem e n ts ia m anufac turing, h a v e fallen com p a ratively to an equal o r greater e x t e a t in E u rope, while th e wages paid t o t t a operatives erf t h e E u ropean woolen n u lls have t r a d e d d a rin g t h e sam e tim e to o a advance.

Professor Jo h n Browning, in a letter to N a ture, calls attention to some carious change of color, in parte of its surfaces.’ “ The belts on th e plan e t,” he rem a rks, ‘ ‘a re m o re th a n usually n u m erous, a n d they display a g reater v a riety of colors then I have ever y e t seen a scribed to them . T h e e q u a to rial b e lt, which h a s b een for y e a ra t h e b r ight est p a rt of th e pi&net, is now not nearly eo bright as th e light belts to th e no r th and south; usually i t has been free from m a r k ings; now i t is often covered w ith m a r k ings, w h ich resem b le piled n p cum u lnt clouds. I t ha3 generally been colorless, shining witif a s ilver g ray or pearly lustre; now i t i s of n rich , deep yellow, gee s ti y resem b ling t h e color of clrateoljped gold. ” Professor Browning thinha these changes ay be t t a resalt of changes in t t a planet iteelf, and invites t t a attention of stereo scopic observers to t h sra.
