Cpi?TJM?I?. Thursday Morning, Juna 29, 1365. Frederick Haated's Pamphlets. "We hare deceived a vojame of pam? phlets, or rather sermons, essays and let tera, from the pea of one Frederick Hasted, au old man of seventy, an Englishman, -who seems to be a sort of peupatetic, for his essays are written from various places, lie is a dreamer, an enthusiast, means well, co doubt, and makes of Bible topics his familiar themes. He addresses, first, the professing believers ia Christ, and asks them the question, which we may suppose to be one of singular novelty, if it be not necessary for the furtherance of the cause of God that the doctrines of the believers in Christ should be uniform. His simplicity ia surely a rare merit now-a days. We doubt if any of the churches will make answer. We find his first pa? per addressed to Franklin Pierce, when President, in 1S54, in which he proposes a subscription for buying up the negroes and setting them free-a suggestion which, duly carried out, would tend greatly to the relief of many a luckless slaveholder .of the present day. In December, 1S60, he wrote to President Lincoln, telling him that a rumor from Washington informed him that he (the President) and Hamlin, the vice-President, were both to be assas? sinated. Very curious, surely, wheu we consider the final fate ol Liucoln. Ho wrote" several letters to Horace Greeley, his head still running on the slavery ques? tion. There are several letters to Lincoln. In one of them, he gravely proposes to him that, as England seema to hold Cana, da with a very slack hand, he should do well and wisely to swap for the Canadas and British possessions in North America the several States of Mississippi, Alabama Georgia, the Carolinas. Florida, and that portion of Louisiana lying Northeast of the Mississippi. Rather a large and mag? nificent trading transaction! In April, 1861, he addressed a letter "to the Hon. Jefferson Davis, at Moutydmew," in which he tenderly exhorts him to turn from the error of his ways, give up his vanities and false gods, eschew slavery, and he offers to subscribe one hundred dollars as his contribution towards the purchase of the freedom of the negro. He does not seem to have made any im? pression upon Davis, nor does the money seem to have paid over. Tho good old man has nevertheless attained thc object of his heart, and we declare to him our perfect readiness to receive the money which Mr. Davis declined. This is our day of small things, and the smallest fa? vors will be gladly received. We will promise Mr. Hasted that in the expendi? ture of his hundred dollara, we shall buy ?ny other than human flesh. And, verily, .we need thia money for the market. But enough of this amiable enthusiast, who still continues, though at seventy years, to canter about upon his hobby. The terrible explosion at1nj>bile is now supposed to be the work of incendiarism. A man named John Jackson V- all has been arrested, charged with the blowing up cf the two steamers. He tells the fol? lowing story: On the night before the explosion at Mobile, he helped to lay three torpedoes between two buildings, both stored with gunpowder. These three were laid by him, with the assistance crUtwo other men, under the direction of a Confederate ma? jor, who, with drawn sword, threatened the men with instant death on the slight? est resistance. After the torpedoes \v<>re laid, a shell with a long fuse attached was yiven to him, and he was told where to place it, at the end of the line made by the three torpedoes. He did aa ho was bid. He ascended a plank; he put down the shell-the fuse uppermost. Then the en4 of the fuse was lighted by the major, the three men hurriedly getting out of the way. The next morning, the explosion occurred. The Governor of Texas has called a convention of tho peoplo of the State to meet in the city of Austin on the 10th of July. He iissues a manly address to the ??eople, expressing the hope that neaco will be secured for tue State on honorable and indulgent tenu -, and exhorts them lo peace and order. The Winnsbo'ro News states that the cars on the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad now make daily trips to Whit? Gab, appoint eight miles North of Winns boro-an iving there at about 2 p. m., and Ieaviuctv^alf an hour afterwards. Pas? sengers go^oj** North lie over at Chester one night * ? '. [Communicated. "Top o' the horning to Ye1." "The lightnings cease', and that dark day Fades iu calm loveliness away." We do net wonder that, wiih Ameri ricans, the weather is such a frequent topic of conversation. Ita changes are as fi ekle and as sadden as are those cf the different faces with whom we meet in society. Few or no other countries are so continually subject to as great transitions. During a sultry day in midsummer, jjpor humanity, with us, feels every nerve and fibre; each one seems attached to u separate galvanic battery, aud all are electrically charged to their utmost tension. We almosr. lose our self-control, and petulance is ready to expresa discomfiture in coutnet with the slightest opposing elements or objects. We welcome sleep, and, like Sancho Panza, bless its inventor. Perhaps, ere ?morning breaks, tigere comes a shower, and then how swiftly do our nerves relax. We become our happier selves again. jNo longer do our very baits seem bristled (With galvanic wires, but buoyancy and energy dart through the arteries, and we lind the mere sense of life a luxury, ?so longer do electric globules dance around their May pole. ?ven our brain cloud has met with a surcharged cloud; the posi? tive has given to the negative; and a fitful gtune of lightning has restored to a happy condition our atmosphere and ourselves. Men of sittiirmine te upernment may ?jut, bc as much affected by the weather as those more vigorous and active. The nervous and mercurial are especially de? pendent on the condition of tho air. Some men can no more be lively in foul weather*1 than they can control their sick and well days. Tiicy are at the mercy of the de meats. And so, too, with the sensibilities of the sanguine. Snch persons must have their pleasures augmented by clear and genial skies. If lightnings pia}- at sunset and the day departs amid nature s tears, they aro drops of comfort, that do us more good that night than would a pillow of j poppy leaves. We feel that we might leap J over the moon. The morning finds sucti persons as vigorous as though steam had been driven through their locomotive organs. They would rush against a wind? mill with greater effect^ than would the legs of ihe world renowned churgor,',llosi nante. These remarks do not b^.ir upon every individual. Some are so phlegmatic that neither storm nor calm disturbs their equability; and only the sight of food, or a hard stroke uponathe cranium, will in? cline them, to r-juse from the routine of vegetating daily, which is to them the sum mam bonum of all happiness. In fine, the pleasures and miseries of a changeable climate are diverse in the case of-each in? dividual, and it is in proportion to their antipathies or susceptibilities that they will enduro or enjoy iheir share of nature, in its atmospheric surroundings or through its various kaleideoscope. WIGWAM. DAISY DALE. G SEEN VILLE AND COLUMBIA RAILROAD. We have had a conversation with Mr. LasSalle, the worthy superintendent of this railroad, who tells U3 that the surveyors have gone over the new route of the road, which ia to supply the gap between Co? lumbia and Alston. He speaks encou? ragingly of thc work, and says that it will bc pressed forward with all the energy possible to the circumstances of the com? pany and the country. This very impor? tant track is too essential to the prosperity of Columbia and thu country to make us indifferent to this promise, which we hope to see realized by the fall. European emigration to the Southern States is largely promised in the British papers. Wc trust to see largo colonies arrive from thethrifty G orman race. They t arc au industrious and good farming peo j In Tennessee, the Act lo limit the eloc I lion franchise excludes the leaders of the rebels from suffrage for ti fte. n years, and for live years denies thc right to the smaller fry. . How to d?termine the status of each will bo the question. While tiie straggle lasted, every small tacky fancied himself a wheel horne. We believe that tico and not three cents per pound is the amount of the internal revenue tax to be levied on cotton. . Let the seller look to it. Short, cotton? obtain twenty cents in the Columbia market at this munyut. . The Winnsboro Hews leafcns from Super? intendent Wiley, of the Southern Express Company, that, commencing with Thurs? day, (to-day,) theroVwill bo a semi-weekly mail, via Orangeburg, from Charleston to Columbia, and that it ia probable that a semi-weekly line will also bo run from I White Oak, connecting with thc other hue I St Columbia. The Situation. The New York IltraUL of-Ahe 17th, under the above h oiling, publiai? es the foliowing items: The steamships George Cromwell and Evening Star, which arrived here yester? day from New Orleans on ?he l?th in-?tj. brought us'hnportaut despatches from OOT correspondents in the Gulf Department. They .fucuish in te pest in y accounts of the incidents preceding, atteuding and toiiow iug the occupation of Bro waaf file, Texas, on th? 3lst ult., by the national troops, under Gen. Brown. The rebel troops, previous to' evacuating the place, muti? nied, pillaged the to^wu and made prison era some of their officers uulil their de? mands for the payment of their back dues were complied with. The rebels left tbe day previous to Gen. Brown's arrival, not waiting to be paroled or to comply in any manner witn the terms of General Kirby Smith's surrender. Large numbera of them moved across the Ilio Grande into Mexico, taking with them their arms. Their artil? lery they sold to the Mexican imperialists at Matamoros. It ls said that the last of thc rebels were driven from Brownsville hy Mexican residents, who organized a home guard for the preservation of order soon after the evacuation commenced. After taking possession of Brownsville, Gen. Brown wrote a letter to Gen. Mejia, thc imperialists commander at Matamoros, assuring him thal neutrality would be ob? served by the American forces in regard to the COUto-t in Mexico between the re' j publicans iud imperialists. It is ?aid that th?: rebel <?en. Magruder, as well as Kirby I Smith, has gone to M ex ici* The latter earrie'', willi him a considerable amount of money. Un the 2d inst., the rebel Geuerals Ma? gruder and Kirby Smith weru received on board thu United States steamer Fort Jackson, Capt. Sands, oil' Galveston, when \ th? articles of surrender of all the rebel Trans-Mississippi, torees were signed bv Gen. Smith. The Jiext morning the rebel officers were conveyed back to Galveston, and on the 5th mst. Capt. Sands and other olliceis pr. ..ceded up to thc town, landed, I received its surreieler from the Mayor and once more unfurled the national Hag ever the public buildings, in the presence of a large but undemonstrative and orderly assemblage id' the people. The rebel ("overnor of Texas has issued a call for the Legislature to meei, in Au? gust, and also for an election to choose delegates to a Stale convention. The President's amnesty proclamation created much excitement in New Orleam. The classes excepted from pardon v/er? more numerous than had been expected. Large numbers of paroled reli?is, officers as well as soldiers, have recently arrived in New Orleans and settled down io the quiet routine of private life, ?.?lierais, Beauregard and Dick Taylor nav'e^been for some time residing in the vicinity of the city, awaiting the proceedings of Co vernnieut in their casca The business of the city was rapidly reviving. Thc late rebel Gov. ?llep, of Louisiana, j has issued a farewell address to the people of that State, acknowledging the inexora? ble logic of eveuts, the lailure ol' the ie hellion, and that he no longer assume* to be their Executive, and counselling? them to submit gracefully to the national au? thorities. The Alabama "State archives, removed by the reoels to Augusta, Ga., on the ad? vance of Gen. Wilson's cavalry, were recently recovered, and arrived at -Mobile on the -Uh iust., on their way to bc re? turned to thc Capitol at Montgomery. The stolen archives of the State of Missis? sippi had also been secured, aud were e.i route to the State capital. The late rebel Go?-. Moore, of Alabama, has been arrest ed and sent North under guard. Union meetings are being held ?ii different parts of Alabama, and national banks are to be immediately established in Mobile and Montgomery. In Mobile, aa well as the other Southern cities, President Johnson's am' esty proclamation excited much inte re L and discussion. Hov. GEORGE A. THKMIOLM.-It is with great satisfaction that we learn that this gentleman has been released on his parole, and is now at large in the city of Charles? ton. SALTS, af SOUTHKRN PROPERTY.-The Philadelphia Ledger** Washington corres? pondent says: The recent order suspending the sale of Southern real estate, in default of the payment ot tax. J, is merely temporary, and ?vas issued by tim President with a view of giving the delinquent parties all the time possible in which to make good the claims of tho Government upon them. It is necessary to make this statement, for the reason that some have construed the order into a reluise fron, payment, which is net, t hc case.

THE FICBCoMPA?ib8.-A corespondent, in yesterday's paper, informs us that there ha's been a reorganization of the fire com? panies, by which three have been resolved into one,-and that this consists ?? but foVty members. Such a force ia surely unequal to the wants of th? city, "and surely the resources of the city in men, especially when there is no militia duty to be done, ought to suffice to give ua at least three companies, as before. Thia done, and a proper esprit da corps inspired among them, a certain feeling of pride and senti? ment of ?mutation, even - apart from con? siderations of duty, would, no doubt, enable the companies, with Borne help from the city funds, to put the engines ia good order, and iu time to procure new ones, with adequate supplies of hose. Theciii zeua themselves, in view.of the important uses of these companies*, might be per? suaded to contribute additional money to eke out the slender resources of the corpo? ration.
