When tho war with Spain bogan not ovon tho wildest droamor could have outlined tho conditions which pro van to-day in regard to tho Philippines. But tho fortunes of war havo placed thom At tho disposal of this nation. Wo cannot shirk tho responsibility cast upon IIB, but tho task should bo performed iu snell manner ns to win tho approval of our ow;; conscience .Mid command tho iospoot of tho oivili/.od world. While tho troaty of ;ioaco with Spain has boon ratiilod, yot it diould forthwith bo rando plain that tho subjugation of tho Filipinos is not our ] urposo. It will doubtless bo necessary tc establish a pro tectorate ovor thom umil such timo as they may demonstrate t.ioir capacity for solf-govornniont. In tho .uoantiino Ibero may bo somo sovoro conflicts of arms, but it will not bo long until tho natives lonni that thoy cannot stand before Ame rican soldiers. Tho conflicts around Manilla within tho past week havo taught thom a lesson long to bo roniom borod. Tho killing 2,000 Filipinos, tho wounding of 3,500 and tho capturo of 5,000 in tho rccont bnttlo, will mako thom shrink from opening tho light soon again. Thoy know nothing before of tho terri ble oxecution of modern (Ire-arms, and becoming panic stricken, thoy (lcd in confusion. But thoir woundei and cap tured woro i m mediately cared for iu n humano mannor by tho Americans, and it may not bo long until wo succeed in teaching thom that our mission to their shores will bo frougbt with tho greatest good to thom. Wo aro of thoso wdio bolicvo tho Anglo Saxon bas a world-wide destiny to ful fill, and a wiso Providence bas boon ovor-ruling tho great conllicts of arms to tho amelioration and bottermont. of tho human race. Tho wbolo world has been brought closer togo th or than ovor boforc. Steam and electricity havo well-nigh annihilated spaco, and tho oyes of tho world can now bo concentrated upon any people with groat rapidity and torriblo power. It is a fast ago in which wo live, and many of tho problems which ariso must be solved on lines of policy different from some which have boen helpful in tho past. With wisdom, conservatism, and a firm rolianco on tho God of Nations, let tho Amorican pooplo go fearlessly for ward iu tho discharge of duty-duty to (Jod, duty to themselves, duty to their country, duty to all mankind, and espe cially at this particular juncture to tho Cubans and Filipinos, over whom wo havo in a high sonso assumed tho guise of guardians. GHAT FROM COLUMBIA. Tho Appointment of Auditor for tills County Will be Made Soon. [Special Correspondence.] COI.UMUIA, February S.-Hut few mai lors of general interest to your readers havo boon acted upon during tho past wcok. Tho bill to incorporate in tho oath of ofllco, prescribed in this Stato, a provis ion against lynching, similar to the ono against duolling, was defeated in the House by a strong majority. Tho con stitution proscribes tho oath of ofllco to bo taken, and it is believed that it can not bo enlarged upon by .Statute, and for this and other reasons doomed sufli ciont, tho mensuro was defeated. Tho bill of Mr. McCullough, of Green ville, on tho subject of thc enlistment and return of property for taxation, olicitod much discussion, and after a hard fight, passed thc House Tho ob joot of tho measure is to secure, if pos sible, full returns of all personal prop' orty, especially of bonds, mortgages, orodits, choses in action, Ac. It is con tended that thoro is a great disparity in tho ;i mon M I of orodits shown np in tho roturns of tho cliff oren t counties of tho Stato, in that somo of tho larger counties in tho Stato mako tho smallest exhibits along this h..o, and it is boliovcd that there is BOIUC irregularity, certainly a great inequality under tho law as it now oxists and this measure is a very strin gent ono, almost inquisitorial in its ope rations, and if it gots through tho Sen ato and becomos a law, if not abused by tho board on whom its powers aio con ferred, may tend to remedy tho evil and inequality complained of. It is believed and charged that capital and credits aro not bearing in this Stato their just pro portion of tho burdens of taxation. Tho bill to pr?vido for ton judicial cir cuits in this Stato, instead of eight, as wo now havo, was defeated in tho IIouso. Tho members did not Boom to bo im pressed with tho suggestion that there existed much congestion in tho courts of this Stato as to litigation these times. Somo of our judges aro no doubt worked pretty bard, but thou they aro well paid, and no doubt if a corresponding reduc tion in salary woro proposed, and tho alternativo submitted of requiring less work and allowing less compensation, they would all doubtless prefer to do tho work nhd rcccivo tho pay as now re quired. In tho Senate a bill to exempt certain manufacturors from Slate and county laxes for live yoars was dofeatod after a boated discussion. Tho opponents of tho mensuro thought it was discriminat ing, and also that tho factories in this Stato bad passed tho poriocl of infant industries and no lom'ir need tho foster ing caro of legislation; that the laws of thc Stato aro fair and liboral and those corporations aro generally well ablo to tako caro of themselves. Tho Sonato bill to fix tho term of tho pi'blio " 0 schools of tho State, I am informed, was ably discussed in t hat body and finally resulted in tho adoption of a provision apportioning bo dispensary fund among tho several counties without proscribing tho longth of tho school term, but loaving it, I suppose, to tho school authorities o? eao'? couniji to. limit tho term by tho amount of funde In hand. It would bavo boon foolish to have pro scribed a term, say of five months, with out providing tho funds necessary to i>?-y for tho samo. Whon this bill oamo over to tho llouso lt was amondod so that each county shall only rooolve the fund which may acorue to it from tho dispen saries thoroin. lu other words, that tho freo Bohools In oaoh county shall ouly re?oive in proportion tb tho pros titution and dohauohory of tho morals of its own oiti/.ouship by its dispensarios, which moans tho moro liquor consumed in tho county tho moro money for tho publio freo sehools. Ail tho bills on tho subject of liquor woro made tho special oidor for Inst Tues day, They bavo sinoo boon passed over from day to day, and have not yot boon eui led up, but we aro expecting tho bat tlo to begin nt any session, whon tho advooatos of any ono of these measures may call thom up under tho hoad O? special ordors. Surely tho fight will como off this wook-with what result sooms vory doubtful-but I hoar that tho advo oatos of tho dispensary aro confident of success. Now, whothor tlioy aro only "whistling to koop thoir courago up" or really fool sanguino, I do uot know ; but if tho prohibition and local option foroos should unite it is believed and claimed that thoy can swoop thoir common onomy from tho Rtato. Tho llouso adjourned on Saturday to moot at 7.!K> P. Af. Monday, as a largo numhor of tho members dosirod to go to thoir homos for salesday. -They bavo not yot all roturnod.

Tho Americana responded with a tor rille Uro, but owing to tho dark ness thoy wore unablo to dotormino its olToct. Tho Utah light artillory finally sue ccedod in silencing tho nativo battory. Tho 3d artillory also did good work on tho oxtromo loft. Tho engagement lasted ovor an hour. Tho United States cruiser Charleston and tho gunboat Concord, stntionod off Malabona, oponod Aro from their socond ary battoriea on tho Filipinos' position at Calvocan and kept it up vigorously.
