COMJMWA, Nov. 25th, 1800. Dear Co it n'cr : Though absent in person, I am present with you in spirit, and ?hall cn - denvor to make our separation a source of intorest to our patrons, by notes of nuoh im portant matters ns may transpiro in and about thc Capitol. Wo nrrivod herc on tho 22d, "tired, hungry and sleepy," and nought tho Columbia Hotel, ns a panacea, for these and other ills of tho Hush. lu tho goodness of my liOnrt toward nil mankind, and my special regard for our patrons, I advise thom to do likewise, when they visit Columbia, ns they ennnot he disappointed in their expectations. This imposing s true tu ru is si tua tod on M.niu street, in thc centro of business, and lins so ninny insido comforts and accommodations for tho inner and outer mnn, that wo might say ol' it, ns was said of Walhalla nt one limo, it is the nearest mute through it lo every place.' lt is a quiet place. There is no noise, drunken profano gathering!! in ol' about it. A private family can herc enjoy nt will the seclusion of tho country, or tho celui and stir nf tho eily. Tho rooms aro newly furnished in the best stylo for comfort, and in simple elegancy. Tho wnitors am thoroughly train ed, and no lodger is BU fibred to wanta single accommodation, which eau he desired. Tho tnlilo is furnished to suit tho taste of every person from peasant lo prince, and lhere is md hing within the reasonable desire of man in thc entable line, which the proprietors of lins bouse fail to provide. Wo ure pleased willi it, and believe our friends on trial will commend us for this rccomnicudation. Since our lust visit bas shaken off much of tho dust and ashes of 1SC5. Numerous splendid buildings have been creeled, and others nie going up, and wo trust in a few yours, tho sud evidences of Shonunn's rnid will disnpponr, and tho suficriogs and ruin of that awful duy exist only in memory. The buildings which hnvo been ivcted in the burnt district are of a more substantial mid imposing cl in motor than formorly, and be speak thc confidence of our people, thai in the future there is a bright prospect for Co lumbia. On Main street tho groat center of attraction is tho completo establishment of Iv. C. Shiver, which is a novelty in the Dry bloods business in Ibis city. There, every article in tins lino cnn bo bad nt prices reas onable, beyond expectation. Mr. Shiver lins advanced ibo interests of Ibis city by offering goods nt wholesale, tit pried, which induce many merchants to moko Columbia their market, mid lins thus too, bonefittod tho Stale. His success and enterprise exemplify that tho lmpo of tho South rests in her young men. No ono cnn bo s^id to hnvo visited Columbia unless bo hus culled at Shiver's. Met on Tuesday at J2 o'clock, M., in tho rooms lilted up in tho nowStatO Houso. Thc work is creditably done, and exhibits much tasto and neatness ol' execution. Tho Hall of Rcprcsoutntivos io not finished, but tho Houso meets in tho room designed for thc Stntc ld bra ry, which is bf'go and commodi ous. Committee rooms and a room for tho Court of Appeals hnvo boen arranged, and ure being used. As yet, tho Legislature has accomplished nothing. Thc first day was spent in organizing tho bod}'. Sevornl now members were sworn in, among them, J. li. Ilagood, I?8(j., of Pickons County. Thc Cal ender showed <i 1 Dills and Resolutions con tinued over from last Session, all of which wcro recommitted to their respective Com mittees, except certain Hills to regulato Di vorces, Alimony and tho rights of married women, which wero n?tido tho special order for Friday next. Tho Committee to revise nod consolid?te tho Statute Laws of Ibo Stnto, reported a Dill to revise, simplify and nbridgo tho Rules, Prnotioo, Pleadings and Porms of tho Courts pf this StntO. Tho following is the preamble of tho Ililli "Whereas, itis provided that tho proseut forms of nqt!on2.n"? plcad .'ii"S in onso? ?' common law should bo abol ished; that tho distinction between icgm equitable remedies should no longer continue, and that a uniform course of proceedings in nil cases should bo established, therefore, &o. Tho Bill contains 172 largo pages of printed matter, and abolishes tho Poo Bill and tho old prnotice cntiro. Tho Wall of C?cteos, which has hcrotoforo hedged in tho legal pro fession is dying out, mid thc voricst fool cnn soon say, I nm nlawyor. Who knows? Wcdnosday was consumed in roaditig tho mcssago of hi? JOxcollonoy tho Governor, which is very voluminous, but moderate ami conimcndablo in tono. Wo havo sent you a oopy for publication. Mr. Dolargo introduced a Bill to ropcal tho Township Act, willoh wo think will pass, and bo acocptablo to cvory ono. .DoMiU'S gave notice of a Bill to nm end tho license law of tho Stato, a much needed motts uro, as thc prcsont law is ns confused and muddled as tho fruits of thc law. On Thursday nothing was dono, tho Houso remaining in sossion not more than ono hour. No Cotnmittoos had roportod, and thoro was no business roady. Tho vacancy on tho Supremo Bench is en gaging considerable attention, and WO doubt if much LogisLtion is dono unj.il tho eau casing and logrolling for this position-in ovor. Jinigo Orr, 0. D. Moiton, Judgo Boo/.cr, Judgd Carpenter nod W. J. Whipper, (cob THK CITY TUE r.UdlSLATUKE "?..?is ored) arc nil .spoken of, in connection with thc position. In ouse Judgo GIT bo elected, an other gravo question of interest to our people arises. Who will bc bis successor in the Eighth Circuit? Wc hnvo no hesitation in saying that no ono can legally, though many may corporeally 'ill his plaoc. l?o should bo on the Supremo 1 Jonch, as bo would ?dd dig nity and ability to it, though wo confess our reluctance to loso him. HA 1 MIGA l) M KA SU R li? Aro at tho ebb tido and not likely to rise. In tho Senate, a Resolution to grant aid to tho Spartanburg nud Union Railroad was re jected by n vote of twenty to ono, on tho ground that thc credit of thc Stato demands a rofusul of ?id to any Railroad whatever.- , Thc Uluo Ridge road will not get additional aid and tho whole thing may blow up, by rescinding tho Act of 1808 and the contract with Ciisville & Co. No ono eau tell how its prospects are. General Harrison is hero, but wo have had no opportunity of conversing with him. Our people should pitch in for thc Air Linc road, and in the future (bey will repent rejecting our advice. There is no danger of thc heavy appropriation heretofore feared. Tho sad condition of North Caroli na has awakened this Legislature lo Ibo dan ger of straining thc credit of tho Slate, mid we do not think lhere is any danger to bo ap prehended for tho Inline. The political cri sis bas passed and the violennee of party spirit is broken. Tho Legisla turo is moder ate, and I think will look moro closely and impartially to thc good of the State as aboyo tho party. TH ti CO N V U S ?O N 0 V TO N <? U HS Was practically illustrated to-day in tho labor convention, which is in session hero. Passing down Assembly street, a "bully bur ly" in Janney's Hall attraetod'our. attention, and on going up wo saw a collection of "woolly heads," with hero and lhere a "goat" mun beling soioo 200 honda. Tho gathering, we uudcrstaod was to get higher wages for the patriotic, publie spirited laboring class. Tho entire programtuo for one hour seemed to bc, "you biugh ut ina and I'll laugh at you, you talk to mo nud I'll talk to you," and in tho many points of order raised, tho President could only reply that thc only point ho saw was ono of disorder. Everybody wanted to speak, and thc irresistible DoLnrgo bappeniug in, gnvo thc honorable bod;/ tho sensible ad vico, to lot 'em speak, they came there to speak, wore full of gas, and if not allowed lo discharge it Iben and there, they would bold it in reservo for futuro use. This body is under the fostering cave of sonic of tho radi cal Reverends, and is doubtless destined to work great changes io our labor system, by adopting such measures as will no longer leave tho question of Chincso immigration ono of policy. Wo believe these people arc deceived ns to their true interests in this mailor, and a few gray heads muong them hud tho good sense mid honesty to toll them so, nod that pence and good feeling between tho bind owner nod I?boror was to be desired, and ho was satisfied for labor nod cn pi lal to regulate themselves by tho law of demand nud supply. Tho Convention, from what we cnn gethor, will recommend the Legislature to papa a Rill appointing n Commissioner to approve con tracts iu each County, which person must, of course, bo paid out of ibo laborers wages. Goonoo and riebens were not represented tn Ibis body. Wo will write nguiu, und at all linus on malters of interest here. Uar res pects to friends till they hear again.

Du ring tho past yenr they havo paid over 82,500,000 into tho internal revenuo depart ment, besides $1,000,000 State taxes, whilo their dobt has been so far reduced that it amounts to but one-sixth that of North Caro lina. This cheering exhibit is duo mainly to tho abundance of tho rioo and cotton crops of tho past year, thc value of which will reach, ' if it docs no! oxecod, 825,000,000.

After a brief preliminary chat upon his text, Mr. Booohor said that immigration brought us?trongth, which intolligcnco would devel op^ Tho Dane, Swcdo and dorman certainly added to tho eclcbral powor of tho nation ; lrishmon to its activity. As tho steam cngino required not manual foroo but steam also, HO our institutions roquirod tho greatest foreo to run thom. But it should bo added, that an tho extent of tho country was immense, so there was a greater chance of disintegration. TUB NEXT UEUELLION. Tho recent failure of such an attempt ought not to give us a notion that thc nation is un doubtedly secure from future disruption. I'Y'W knew how near thc rebellion came to proving a success. It was an attempt, how ever, which was founded upon bad grounds, upon that which was odious to the moral sense of the world. But should the Pacific .States in another generation (without slav ery, a vile curso interfering) undertake sep aration on strong commercial and politico econ?mica! grounds, tho issue would probably be very dill'ereut. Our late success then must not lead us to suppose that no other attempts would be made. If the South ern States temporarily exhausted, should re new the struggle on the grounds of political policy and economy, thc result could not bc foretold. Such was thc extent of the country that, in the future, wheu thc respectivo parts became populous and wealthy, separation could not bc stayed if their interests lay in separation. National unity was securo only when it was to tho iutcrcst of each sootion that there should bo suoh unity, llhodc I slaml might not bo able to withdraw alone [laughter,] nor New Jersey [renewed laugh ter,] nor Connccticutt, nor oven South Caro lina, nor any single Stato; but tho whole Southwest, thc great Northwest, and tho vast Pocilio slope moved on dilTcrout planes. HOW DISSOLUTION MAY COME. In the late struggle thoUniou was preserv ed by military force. Hereafter moral foreo alone could accomplish sucha result. While he would look upon tho disintegration of thc Union with thc most profound feelings of sor row, still, however, ho could not regard a movement in that direction with thc same abhorrence that ho had of thc late attempt at disintegration. CALHOUN'S GHOST IN PLYMOUTH PULPIT. .If four great republics woro proposed in place of tho present Union, and tho move ment was one of the people, bc should certain ly feel not as bc felt toward the late move ment. Separation would not be fatal. But still the Union of tho whole States was so much bettor that he considered it tho duty of every Christian patriot to maintain and preserve that Union by every moral means which would secure that cud in perpetuity. lt should bo remembered that thcro was no band nor strip of iron long or strong enough to hold together unwilling parts. No politi cal foroo could do it; neither was thcro artil lery enough to do it. No political foreo oould do it; neither was thcro artillery enough to do it. If the Union stood, it would do so by common consent, founded upou common in terests.

End of a Weary tifo, A man died tn Kansas etty sovcral weeks ago, whoso life lind boon a wonry one, nod, maybe, harder than ho could bear, for to thoso Who know him there wcro a few hints of a brief death struggle that was not natural. Ooorgo lt-was born in Kentucky, and caine to Cooper county, Missouri, nt thc agc ofl?. This was in 1843. Soon his parents died, and he "'u*, left alone nod penniless, lu 1S5U he wont lo California, entered tho mino with thc /.cst of a boy, worked hard, was suc cessful, bought laud near Sacramento City, and soon became a rich and prosperous man. In 1868 ho met lite woman who, through no fault of his, wart to exort such a ?ad inilucuoo upon all hi.-j after lifo. This woman waa said to bc beautiful, accomplished, pure and levo nblo. ll- met, her, was fascinated, pro* posed, and, as a result, an engagement fol lowed. Tho wedding day had been sugges ted, if it had not been decided upon, and for ono brief month Mic suu of happiness .shone out solacingly beforo thc clouds closed over it forever, Prcccdingthc wedding, it becaino necessary for ll-to return to tho mines to arrango sonic business thcro claiming his im mediate attention. Ho went, became in volved iu a quarrel, with a man he had never soon, was attacked, and to Bavo his own lifo, killed his antagonist. Thc doad man was his intended's brother. Ho did not kuow it then, nor until bis trial was over, nor until after ho went ngain to Sacramento to seo all that ho had ever known or loved. It is not necessary to depict tho interview-thc terrible remorse on tho ono side, tho frenzied reproach and regrets on thc other. At last tho sister grew frightfully calm-so calm, indeed, that flho told of her brother; how ho had left home at thc first news of tho gold discovory ; how ho had not written j how wild stories hod como back of his recklessness and his dissipa tion j and at last tho dreadful day when ho lay dead at tho feet of her lover, lt-'fa grief waa no less bitter than Mint of thc strick en sister, and so when she said to him, "I will love you till I die, but I will never mar ry you on this earth, becanso my brother's blood is on your head," ho sold out every thing ho owned in California, nnd oamo bnck tv? Missouri, first plcdgod to each other to correspond as rogularly as tho condition of tho mails then permitted. Sho wroto once, uni no moro. In a month following hor first cttorsho, too, had gono to join her brother iu tho otornnl world. Thia second blow foll Heavier than tho first, for tho poor mau had tomo hopo whilo tho woman lived. Now he vas alono forever. Presently tho war carno, md ll-enlisted in tho Confederate army [n tho bot charge made ?pon tho graveyard ort, at tho battle of Helena, Ark., a mi'nnio mllct passed through both of lt.'a ohecks md cut his tongue evenly oif about midway n its length. After that ho never epoko an ntclligiblo word nguiu. Indcod, hu enrod rory Httlo to speak. In subsequent battles io tried hard to throw his lifo away, and was lotod in his com maud for tho most rooklcus udftoity. At Jenkins' lorry, it ?oontod ai if ho would ;ct what ho most desired, for ho was badly hot in tho held, tho skull hoing fraoturod, md bruin oxpotod. Ho rcoovod in so much hat tho wouud hcnlod, but tho poor tried man iad convulsions until bo died, lt is sup loscd that thoao convulsions impaired his iiind to a certain extent, foi ho frequently loolarcd he saw tho faco of tho woman whom io onco loved-tho fnco of tho woman whoso icm pry novor left him long during all tho Itter aud sorrowful years of lifo. .-.?*.??.-...
