Too many 1 have long considered it in no light but that * of a muddy, rock-bottomed stream, inca- t pable of being put to practical use. s The writer has hitherto belonged to the * great army of ignorants, who hare beeD * unaware of the grand opportunities for the* city of Columbia aad the Palmetto State, ' wrapped up and lying dormant in the J uliginous waters that lave the limits of the ' Queen City of the South, and awaiting i only the Titan-sparks of enterprise and , ENERGY to transmute them into vivifying 1 elements of progress. The events ox yes- 1 terday have lifted the scales from my eyes and 1 see that not half of that river's grand forces have ever been known. These preliminary remarks have been i suggested by a trip" down the Congaree, ' given by the Columbia Board of Trade to a number ot guests, 01 tuohi uie wnici had the honor of being one. WHY ASD WHEKEFORE. For some time the Columbia Board of Trade have devoted their attention to the Congaree River as a source of water power and as the most potent adjunct in the future greatness of this city. The}' have regarded it as par excellence the means whereby Columbia is to take her place among the cities of the South. They have done more. They hate acted upon their belief and, as wiil hereafter be shown, have been instrumental in a work that will live after them. On several occasions the South Carolina Steamboat Comoanv have tendered ilie Board of Trade the use of their steamer for I the purpose of seeing and comprehending the possibilities of Congaree River navigation. Here wss the opportunity- to show to Columbia, and through her to the world, her great treasure of hitherto unused waterpower. Accordingly an excursion was arranged for yesterday, and the Board issued inviiations to a number of gentiemen to accompany them and have their eves opened". LEAVING TITE CITY. We left the City Hall at 9.30, comfort? ably ensconced in carriages and 'busses. Just before leaving rain began to fall, inducing several gentiemen to remain behind aud the excursionists to fear that a bad day had been selected. Not so, however, for therain-ged soon wiped his sudatory brow and before Old Granby was reached the elemental flood gates had been closed. THE PERSONNEL OF THE PARTY. The excursionists included the following gentlemen: From the Beard of Trade, C. J. Iredell, President; R. 31. And'. raon, Secretary; F. W. Wing and Jasper Miller, of the Execu iyxjo rtnH t.hft t'ttllnwin? members: Geo. K. Wright, T. E. Branigan, Philip Motz. D. H. Crawford, X. Yv. Trump, George L-. Baker, M. A. Markley, J. II. Mancke. J C. Stanley, T. C. Robertson, D. L. Boozer, W. H. Gibbe?, Jr., P. C. Lorick, R. N. Richbourg, and William Robinson. Guests: Governor J. P. Richardson, ExPresident S. A. Pearce of the Board of Trade who came from his home in Georgia for this special purpose, Col. L. P. Midler of Georgetown; Col. T. J. Lipscomb, Representative B. L. Abney, Frederick Condit, W. J. Keenan, Dr. Bird Miller, E. M. Brayton, Allen Jones, A. A. Yos, Joseph Bates and John S. Bates of Wateree River, C. M. Olsen, A. T. McCants, jS". G. Gonzales of the JSfeirs and Courier, J. Wilson Gibbes of The Evening Record. At 10 o'clock the party reached Granny, three miles fro a. State House, wherj they found the boat awaiting them. On board were Capt. W. II. Bixby, of the United States Engineer Corps, having charge of the river and harbor improvements in South ^ t??: _ ^ xju^iuccj. ncm m u:i* ford, and Capt. W. Gannon. United States Inspector of Hulls for Charleston District, who was there for the purpose of inspecting the steamer and' issuing a permit for the excursion. Preparatory to the start the excursionists enjoyed themselves in viewing the situation and examining the boat. the "john il. cole" is a high pressure, side-wheel steamer, with a length of 125 feet, a width of 45 feet, has about five feet depth of hold, and draws four feet when deep loaded. Her steel hull was made in sections at Wilmington, Delaware, and put together with the upper wood-work in Charleston in lbS6. She has a tonnage capacity of 217, and can carry 600 bftJes of cotton. Yesterday she was loaded with rosin. She is commanded by Capt. E. C. David, Master, and belongs to the South Carolina Steamboat Company. This boat runs in connection with a similar steamer belonging to the same company, the carrying, capacity of which is aoout 1,000 bales of cotton. This latter steamer makes regular weekly trips from # Charleston to the Congaree bridge of South Carolina Railway Company, where she receives freight by transfer from the John >1. Cole, ? .to and from all points on the Congaree ana San tee Rivers to and from Charleston and Columbia. Down the Congaree. At forty minutes past ten the whistle blew, the boat was cast from its moorings, and away the steamer sped down the Congaree, making eight knots an hour. For several miles the course of the river was a straight southeast and revealed a beauty that was undreamed of in the excursionists'.philosophy. The expanse of water in looking down the forest-girded vista, the clear channel devoid of rocks, through which the boat was bowling along, and the occasional shriek of the whistle ; conjured up new feelings in the hearts of the part}- who were EXPERIENCE: ^ A REVELATION. The scene t.* voyage was indeed a surprise, and many were the glad expressions , that fell from the lips of those who were : beginning to realize the power lying unused , at their feet. i The course of the Congarce is slightly sinuous, but the gtneral direction is good, ; not interfering in the slightest degree with ?? navigation. At Granby the river is about ( 600 feet wide, and averages 450 feet along the line. It has also an average depth oi four feet at dead low water. . THE LASDIXGS. . c Mmr" The following are the landings on both t sides of the river, with their respective dis- J tances from Granby to its junction with the 1 Water ee and Santee: t On the Richland side: Childs's plantation, 2 ? 44 miles; Seegers'Big Lake plantation, 40?: q Frank's Landing, 38; Lykes' Landing, 33; fc Weston's Landing 30f; Mitchell's, 7}; h Buck Head Landing (Bates') 3?. J On the Lexington side: Chickasaw, 42 miles; Springer's, 41; Starling's, 20$; High Hill, 19$; Hunt's Creek, 35$; Kaigler's, 35: n Bell Hall, 31; Bull's Hill, S; Peterkin's- } Mill, 5.

NAVAL STORES STATIONS. n Between Columbia and the South Caro- ?' lina Railway bridge there are three stations for naval stores: First, Chickasaw Landing, now owned and used by Capt. C. 31 Olsen. It is known also as Olsen's Bluff, \c contains about 350 acres, and carries on a I}1 very large business. Second, Kaigler's Third, Bell Hall. These stations are on w the Lexington side. Considernble guano will hereafter be shipped from Charleston tb to these points, instead of sending it by w rail. " b< Th^re are also the following creeks emp- to tying into the river: Congaree, Gill Creek, to Hunt's Creek, Clay Gut, Hill Creek, Big $3 ?ver Creek (which divides Lexington and rangeburg counties), Old River. Cedar reek, Pocket Hole Creek, Devil's Elbow id Buck Head Creek. THE FIIIST BOAT OX THE COXCAKF.E. In 1822 a boat named the "Charleston" uWtnnfc- ;irin from Charleston to Co ,mbia. On board was a young lady, who as going to school in the former city imd ho was on her way to spend the holidays a the Santee. She is now an old lady, [rs. Atkinson, and is living in George>wn. y< This was the first boat that ever plyed beveen the two cities. In 1S45 river travel was ^ :opped and no boat has Tim on the Con aree since, until navigation was made ossible last year. ' ^ now IT CAME ABOUT. ^ In 1SS6 through the instrumentality of ur Congressmen, and earnestly and eilec-' . ively assisted by the Columbia Board of 11 ?rade, Congress made an appropriation of ;7,500 for "work on tiie Congaree. In t! February, 1SS7, the work was commenced >y Assistant Engineer Whitford, under the i n upervision of Captain Bixby. Mr. Whit- t< ord was very diligent and assiduous and in i ve months succeeded in clearing a channel T eventy feet wide and four feet deep, by c he removal of arliScial obstructions. Obtructions had been accumulating in the iver for forty-two years and the celerity e ind cheapness with which they were re- I noved is remarkable. With the money tppropriated there was also built a first- s ;lass self-propelling steam-hoister which ? ?ras used in the work and which belongs to the government. This was accomplished < :>y the strictest economy and the indefatiga- t We personal attention of .\fer.. Winttora. SOME GRAND POSSIBILITIES. < With tlie improvements already made t the John M. Cole is enabled to make two ; trips a week. The nineteenth of Jnne will be the last day of grace given to the South Carolina Kailway Company to place a dra.w . in their bridge. "When this is done the S^utb Carolina Steamboat Company will place upon the CoDgaree a steamer with a , carrying capacity of 1,500 bales of cotton ' or the same number of barrels of rosin. The boat will make regular trips and every inducement will be offered to shippers for quick and che-ip transportation. The cost per bale will be about one-third of the present railroad rate. Heretofore the people on the Lexington bank have been compelled to haul their produce by wagon, to some railroad station. The territory along the route is exceedingly rich and is productive of magnificent timber. Here we ficd cypress, pine, oak, ash, sweet gnm, map!e and almost ever}* variety of wood known to the Atlantic States. The j opening up of ihe Congaree will furnish i cheap and easy transportation facilities and induce the erection of mills, turpentine dis tilkries aDd stations for the production pf naval stores all along the lice. MOiE AID FKOM CONGRESS. The next step in this work is to secure Government aid for its continuation. Secretary Anderson, of the Board of Trade, is sei ding in weekly petitions to Congress, signed by citizens of every class, to induce further appropriations. Having alreidy shown what benefits have been derived j from a small appropriation and five months' j work, it is easy to see that additional aid, sufficient for the complete development of the river, would be an incalculable blessing to our people. ADVANTAGE TO DRAINAGE. TX' V,i-. l'mnrATTfl. MUW tut Jaxaitiaoiix v ? ments Lave been made Capt. Bixby says the river will not be so liable to overflow. These overflows have already caused considerable damage and last year an immense amount of property was destroyed thereby. It wiil also improve "th^. culture, vaiue and health of the adjacent towns and encourage the settlement of previously unoccupied I territories. In no other way can so small an expenditure of public money produce such valuable results in the development of the" country at la;ge." " SOME OTHER RESULTS. When Congress grants another appropriation and sli the obstructions in the river have been removed, we wfll have open navigation to Georgetown and Charleston, and when the Canal is completed and the two miles below Gervaisstreet, we will< have open navigation from the mountains i to the seaboard for steamers of ordinary ! capacity, and the whistle of steamboats! will be heard on every side. This is an i obj-ict to be attained in the near future, if j Congress grants the .aid asked for. The benefits accruing to Columbia will be communicated to a dozen adjacent counties. RESUMING Tins ROUTE. The part\r amused themselves on the j voyage by taking in the scecery and discussing objects of interest. At 2.30 the guests were called to dinner, and an elegant one it was. Mr. Tom Branigan had a corps of waiters on hand and served one of the finest dinners that I have ever assisted in demolishing. There were turkey, wild duck, chicken salad, tongue, oysters, coffee, cranberry sauce, potato salad, cold slaw, celery, pickles, wines and cigars. The bracing air had put the diners in splendid gastronomic condition, which was heightened by the elegance of the feast, and soon ihe "serried ranks'' of victuals evidenced a j furious onslaught. At 3 15 the boat arrived at the bridge j snrl thp eWMircin.Ticfc efortpr? in nnrti^c i of two and tiir^e on tours of inspection. Dr. T. C. Robertson and Mr. David Crawford were the Ximrodsof the party, but as they failed to find the "little boy" who sells the game to bird shooters they returned empty-handed. RETURNING HOME. After supper had been served, the excurj sionists indulged in a little stump speaking until the arrival of the train which was to take them back to the city. At 9.10 we boarded the train and arrived at 10 o'clock in the City on the Congaree. Two SensationM in Clarendon. MjvxxrxG, Jan. 27.?There were two sensations here today. Charles 'Shorter; and Benjamin Sports quarreled on their way from town last night and a fight ensued, in which Sports gave Shorter a dangerous wound in the abdomen with a knife that will probably prove fatal. The last accounts are that Shorter's life ! is despaired of, his bowels being exposed ; by the gaping wound, anu no doctor hav: ing been found up to this time to sew 'up the cut. Both of the men are said to have been under the influence of whisky. No warrant has been sworn out against "Sports, nor has any effort been made to arrest him. < Mr. Mike Hammell, who has been living in Manning from ?Imost the time of its incorporation, and is highly respected as a :iuiet, unobtrusive, honest citizen, com- ] cnitted suicide today by taking nearly an i >unce of laudanum. He "was conscious , tor some time after drinking the drug, and ! ;very effort was made to save his life, but . :o no avail. He had been drinking for two 1 cveeks, and his mind is believed to have t seen unbalanced when he drank the deadly " >oison. He leaves a wife and three chilIren. x Over lOO Vfam Old.

In a couple of years a change of ninistry at Rome may withdraw her sup- )ort, and he wishes to make use of the \ Italian troops while he can command their lid. Nor can Austria entirely be depended lpon. The Hungarians particularly detest Prince Bismarck and distrus: Germany, , md several speeches in the Diet have lately hown the animus of the inhabitants of hat powerful portion of the Austrian Empire. An article in the treatv of the triple illiance engages each of the contracting powers to mobilize a portion of Its forces yearly. The Austrian Government haying failedlo keep its agreement in this respect, a pressure was brought upon it from Berlin, and as a further incentive the alarming articles in the German and Austrian journals'as to the threatening Russian movements on the Galician frontier appeared, setting all Europe in a turmoil. The conflict will begin, continues the General, in this wise: In the spring Italy will be summoned to mobilize an army corps on the northern frontier. France will respond by an analogous military measure. Germany will order France to disperse her troops, and then war will bedn. Sixteen of the eighteen German army corps will enter France from Lorraine, while a cloud of Italians will debouch by the St. Gothard upon the basin of the Rhone. At the end of the first week France will be victor upon the Rhine or thrown back into the middle of Champagne. She can certainly hold out for a month, and at the end of that time Russian armies will be threatening Berlin or Vienna. This is the programme furnished by the Russian war expert, who concludes by saying-that Russia is a powerful machine, and as such, slow to be put in motion, but once started she will crush e very cbstnclc in her path. HERO AXD MARTYR. A Bank Cashier Killed by IloItl>ern.and Avenged by Lynchers. Limestone, I. T., January 23.?Four masked men, all heavily armed, -who subsequently proved to be citizens and cattle ranchers of the neighborhood, entered the Citizens' Bank Saturday, and, presenting a pistol at the head of the cashier, W. T. Reynolds, demanded that he should turn over the cash on hand. While pretending to comply, Reynolds slammed the door of the safe and turned the lock. He was at once laid out by a bullet from the pistol of one of the desperadoes, which struck him above the heart, 'killing him instantly. The bank was then ransacked; jind all trie money in the cash drawer, some $2,300, was taken. An attempt was, made to open the safe, but in this the robbers were foiled. As the sound of pistol shots was heard several people came running toward the bank to ascertain the cause of the'trouble. They were fired upon by three of the men who were on guard, and retreated to get arms. In a few minutes the town waaroused, and twenty or thirty armed men hurried toward the bank. The robberwere mounting their horses, and a hot fire was started, in which one of the robbers, Thomas Evans, was killed outright, being snot several times in the head and body. He was identified as a ranchman living near town. In the fight four citizens were wounded, but not fatally, two receiviug shots through the arms and two others being slightly wounded in the legs. The three surviving robbers then rode away with the booty Captured.' A posse of pursuers was soon upon the trail, riding rapidly in the direction nf Atoka. A fter about an hour's hard pursuit the robbers "were surrounded, captured and taken back to Limestone, where Judge Lynch was called on to hold court. The leader was found guilty of the murder of Reynolds and was forthwith sprung up. The other two were placed in charge of a strong guard and started for Fort Washita, where they will be turned over to the United States authorities. The stolen money was recovered. I'oIumbiA Fair Association. The Executive Committee of the Columbia Fm'v Association met vesterdav after noon-in the office of Col. Geo. Iv. Wright. | There were present: President "Wright, Vice President Jasper Miller, Secretary and Treasurer E. W. Seibels^Messrs. David Jones, E. J. Brennen and W. D. Stirling. As stated in these columns the meeting was for the purpose of formulating suggestions for the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society which will meet in this city on V>~ednesday, in reference to the fair of 18 3S. It was decided to make the following recommendations: That the books of entry he closed the Saturday night previous to the opening of the Fair, and no entries after that time be admitted, so that all entries shall be in place early Monday and that Monday be made the real opening day. That the Agricultural Society arrange to feed and care for all stock exhibited during the week, to encourage even a larger number of entries of stock and relieve exhibitors from the trouble and expense of feeding and looking after the same. It is suggested in case stock exhibited be sold the owner hp rprmirp^ to r>nv flip r>\-nfin.cp nf thfi fec-d ing and care of such as is thus sold. That no exhibits be allowed to be removed from their place until Saturday noon, in order that the Fair may continue full five days and a half and be as complete the forenoon of the last day as at any time. That larger premiums be offered in the machinery department, so that a greater number of entries be secured than hereto fore. The committee will attend the meeting of the Sooiety and present these suggestions. In addition to this the committee bave in mind the furnishing of extensive attractions for the delectation of visitors on Monday, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday nights and they will raise a large sum o 1 money for that purpose. The Columbia Fair Association is full of significance and bears within it the determination of our citizens to make each succeeding fair the superior of its predecessor.

(From the 2fev.- York Si,-ir.) | Topeka, Sax., Jan. 22.?Three years j .go several well-knowa colored men, ir.ea it?f means, met to consult as to the best 01 aetiiod of relieving tneir peopie iroai u;e eors<: than servitude that prevails in the "w xtreme Southern Slates, especially in ci Louisiana, Ivlississippi and South Carolina. ^ i.fter carefully studying the plan of gov- h rnmerit of the various countries open to hem, they arrived at the conclusion that p Jouth America was the land that would V ;ive them shelter and a home. The pubrc was not called upon for contributions, p jut these men sent out educated agents, h vhose reports are now coming in.w The v. Juianas, Brazil and the Argentine Confed- ti :ration were examined as to climate, lands, aw.- and privileges. a While these agents were out, their prin- t] ;ipals quietly effected a secret organiza- j ion, whose hend is in Topeka, lor the ? purpose of spreading the news by means ?; )f trustwonhy agents throughout the \ Southern States. The men thus organiz- y ng represent nearly $2,000,000, their own ^ noney and property. Before the end of LSSS is reached an exodus from the South~ - J ?rn a jrn states wui nave cousnieiiceu iuui .wu :-arry off more tljjiu a million of laborers from, the cotton, sugar and rice fields, f1 where they are cow at work, while the n tobacco fields wiii yield their fu'l quota. ~ While there will be two colonics or out- '' fitting points established in Honduras and Costa Rica, the main efforts of this new ? organization will be directed to'moviag the t colored people to South America. There will be settlements established in the Guiana Highlands, directly north of tl<e 1 equator, arid in the Brazilian Highlands, ; on the southern tributaries of -he Amazon, ^ to which will be directed those people z coming from Florida and Southern Ala- ? bama, Mississippi and Louisiana. Farther < south immigration depots will be estab- 1 lished in the Argentine Confederation for ? people from Kentucky, Tennessee, South Carolina and ^Northern Alabama, Missis- ? sippi and Louisiana and Texas. ' < Important concessions will be made by ? the Brazilian and Argentine governmer-ts < in the way of lands and immunity from ; taxation, acd aid in transportation, which ' will place the new haven within the reach j of nil who can secure money enough to . carry them through the first season. Their rights and 'privileges as citizens arc guar antced, anc;, owing to the mixed blood a!- ; ready existing in some of those countries, 1 their color will not debar them from politi- ! cal and social preferment. A Ne?v* Specios ol" Dead-BcatA new species of the "dead-beat" has made his appearance in Washington, and having worn out the town and departed to scape the police will probably try to work his" game elsewhere. He is a venerable-looking man of 60 or more, with a fine face, good manners, and well dressed. He speaks with a southern accent, and claims to be from Tennessee, where he savs he has several plantations. When, he arrived in town he took quarters at one of the first-class hotels, and remained there nearly three weeks until, the proprietor asked him to settle his bi 11 or leave. Ke postponed payment until he received some remittances from home which were unaceount- I ably delayed, and even telegraphed for money at the expense of the hotel. He was willing to give a draft on his "factors," but".;he proprietor would not accept it. Nearly every day he received telegrams, which it was suspected he sent to himself from distant parts of the town. From the hotel he went to a fashionable boarding-house, where he made himself popular at once .and his fellow-boarders are unwilling to believe I he is a "beat," although he owes a good j deal of borrowed money and circulated i somA hnon<? *?1i ? - ?-He came to Washington intending to reside here permanently and desired to purchase a line country place* At nearly all the real-estate agencies the oici j gentleman is well known,, and tew of I the dealers1 in suburban property escaped his clutches. Some of them cash ed drafts and checks for him, at least one introduced birn at the club, where he was hospitably entertained, and in return he tried to get up a party to visit him in Tennessee and try the shooting. But his principal "racket" was to takedrives into the country at the expense of the real-estate agents to look at dc sirable country seats. There is not a farm for sale within ten miles of Washington that he did not inspect in company with some one who paid for the carriage, the cigars, and generally a luncheon on their return. It some cases he made offers which were accepted, but he would invariably conjure up a condition that could not be complied with. He had a way of hiring hacks when he went arywhere and forgetting to pay for them. After taking a rutelie would want to be landed at one of the hotels or departments, or some other building that had two entrances, and while the hackman was \vaiting at one he would slip out at the other. Nearly every driver in town has reason to remember him, and some have cards he gave them with bogus addresses, at which they were instructed to call for their pay. If he was cornered he would write the number of sorae house at random on a card, with the name he assumed for the moment, and tell the hackman to be sure and call at 5 o'clock, as he was to dine out at 6. ?

Take the*case of a bookkeeper who is conlined to his desk for eight or ten hours a day. If he can cultivate a taste for botany or geology it will give him an opportunity for regular excursions into the country, while he can analyze and arrange bis specimens during his leisure hours in the evening. If he has a talent for mechanics, woodcarving. carpentry, pottery, or any of the hundred pursuits into which enter deftness of hanjJ. and quickness of eye are open to bin: The hours which would hang heavily on his hands were he without any hobby seem all too short for the pleasant work that he comes to with a feeling of relief. He has a resource against business worry that will add ten years to his life and that will stand in good stead should misfortune or loss of loved ones come upon him.
