FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IG, 18G6. We publish this morning a oommunioation from the pen of a well-known and influential Charleston merchant, on the subject of through ( eights, whicli we call attention to. Wo pub lish also a great variety of interesting matter on our inner pages. TUE COLUMBIA AND IIAMBUG RAILROAD. The Charlotte Railroad wants an oxtonsion of its line to Augusta, and this extension is called the Columbia and Hamburg Railroad. It oommences a mile or two below Columbia, und will probably end ten or twolvo miles below Augusta. The newspapers in both cities arc discussing the question of benefits to be derived nnd money to be subscribed. Columbia has given $33,000 in good money, and now asks if the road cun't be brought into the town? We think it will not, because its projectors have other objects in view. Again, the line of the road is run to tiranitcvillo, and it is hoped that some plan will be devised lo get the South Carolina Railroad to help out the twelve or more mileB lo Augusta; but the South Carolina Railroad has paid, first and last, half a million of dollars, or so, for privileges at and near Augusta, and 'tis writ in the bond that boforo any other Railroad can sharo thcBo privileges, such Railroad must refund the South Carolina Railroad, with interest. If Augusta subscribes, it will be to enter Ihe field of litigation, on a scale large enough to satisfy any reasonable ambition, for the South Carolina Railroad sees in this extension of (ho Charlotte Road a blow at Charleston and the State, as well as to itself and to interests of great consideration in Augusta. Wc share with the Constitutionalist in its expose of the plan to get Augusta to subscribe to the stock in good bonds or money, and then have this covered immediately by bonds which other people are to buy. When we add that the topography of the country is impracticable for this road on a di rect line to Hamburg, and- that necessity com pels this deflection to Graniteville, and that the road, to be available, must make terms with the South Carolina Railroad, tho prospect of the probable value of its stock, when it shall have accommodated itself to the requirements which will of right be fairly imposed upon it, is not flattering. THE REBELLIO US SPIRIT OF THE SO UTII. _ It is (he common and constant ory of jour nals at the North (hat the South is still rebel lious, and tho Tribune, in the following, utters the idea which they find it convenient and pro fitable to express, whatever bo the real opinion, if any, which they entertain upon the subject: "Encouraged by the President, and misled by tho promiBOB of tho Northern Democrats, tho ro b?is affect to consider as dishonorable an ofTor which, at tho end of tho war. they would have been too happy to accept. Mr. Johnson has drawn thorn up in battlo array, and their allios in tho rebellion stand with thorn as of old. Tho Sonth still pre sents a united front to tho North, and is as ready to fight now as it was in 18G1?more roady, perhaps having moro trust in its weapons. With tho Presi dent willing to do its bidding, it is prepared to moot tho issue with Congress, and trusts, as it did through tho war, that by long stubbornness it will tiro out tho North, and oompol it to submit. The commercial interests of the Freo States, it believes, will compel an adjustment upon any conditions; Northern merchants may like principio, bnt they love money; the North will yiold at last, finding that tho South will not. In this faith, tho rebol States aro proporod to stay out of tho Union until they can re-enter upon thoir own terms." The ground for this opinion they affect to find in tho general refusal at the South to ac cept the Congressional Amendment, and we re gret to see the feeling entertained by men of respectability, even among ourselves, that we have not dono yet enough; that we have yet the hardihood to aet as though our bouIb wero our own, and, in doing so, to incur the greater wrath an irritated Radicalism may be pleased to pour upon us. To Buoh expressions from organs al tho North wc havo no reply to make. We could not ap pease them by showing thoir strictures are un just. It is their trade to find the evidences of a diabolical disposition. They could not be convinced to tho contrary; and they would not, if they could. And perhaps no single aot could so inspire them with a focling of inappcasablo malignity as would that of showing them that they have no cause for malignity at all. They demand a sentiment of allegiance, but not to tho Government of the United States. They demand it to them, as tho masters of that gov ernment, and they demand that, acknowledging tho obligation of allegiance, we shall exhibit, also, tho ovidonoe that wo havo failed in its per formance), and thus, therefore, that whilo wo shall bo their cortain victims, we shall do them the further pleasure of showing that their in flictions aro just. In tho condition of tho kid that muddied the stream below the wolf, wo havo no motive to propitiate opinion. Extenu ation is outrage. Our unpardonablo offence ?b in the fact that wc present tho object against whioh their forces may bo trained?the plun der with tho hopes of which thoir parly cohe sion may be purchased; and boforo such au thority, it wero scarcely consistent with sanity or rospoot in Southern men to enter a defence. As the aotion of that party, should it como to powor, would be utterly irrespective of tho at titudo or merits wo exhibit, it were becoming in us to await results, and not fatigue ourselves with posture making and pretences whioh, if pleas ant to them, can not by any possibility be pro fitable to ourselves. ? For the fooling of our own peoplo, however, wo have more respect. Thoy share tho fortunes -of tho country, and aro also involved, there fore, iu the consequences of our conduct.? But what more than wc have done would they have ?b do? Shall tho political lenders of the South retire from public life? Thnt they htivc done. There is not. one of them, within our knowledge, who Mpires lo office, or would ucccpt it, but from the conviction th:it it is incumbent on him to discharge its duties. Shall wc say that our adversarios were right and we were wrong ? Against that it is a conclusive argument that theroisuoLoncof them who would believe uh, anil the pleasure they would find in an abasement ho profound as (o acknowledge a merit in thein that in thoir hearts they do not claim?a wrong in oursclvcB they know wo havo noL done?will Hcarccly move them to mitigate afflictions upon victim* so ready to reccivo them. Shall wo ad mit of negro suffrage Y That will not appcaso thorn. They want u causo of complaint, not compliance, and this conceded, Lhcy will find that cause in something olso. Shall we accept tho Constitutional Amendment-, and admit, thcrcforo, the right of that parly to mould the Constitution to its plcaaurb, and Lu effect, thorc foro, accept the despotism it assumes? That will bo but un cry for mercy, und is that moro potent than ju?tice to protect us? or if that party had no sonso of justice, no respect for tho Constitution, tho prostige, glories, and tra ditions of tho country?if it has been instant, as it suroly has, at every period and placo of its history and progresa, to exhibit tho lowest tastes, the most brutal instincts?if it shall al ways have a repudiated decency and virtue, nnd tolerated only vulgarity and vico?is it certain or supposablc that it. has retained the gentle attribute of mercy? or is it so certain it will triumph over the government, that in ad vance wc muit hail it as the victor.' The Fresident has taken his stand upon the Consti tution. Ho exhibits yet the purpose to vindi cate the integrity of the Union. lie has yet the power to do so. Ho is commandor-in-chief cf an army which, if he Bhall have sufficient in tellectual intrepidity, must obey him. He has charged that the act of a party, in changing tho Constitution to its will, is an act of usurpa tion; and that that act, whatever be its merits, is one to be resisted. IJe has, therefore, right and power upon his side; and is it certain that he will fail? or so certain that, wo arc warrant ed in running from the fortunes of his falling house? or if this is to be done?if the dirt- is to be eaten, what are we to bo paid for it ? We arc not proud or rebellious. Our struggle has been made in vindication of a cause wc conceived to be right, and thnt failing, wc are willing to confess our inability to do more, and to accept of power in any form in which it may come upon us; and we have that regard for our lives, which are still a trust, and the well-being of our families, that if aots are required of us for which any fair consideration is offorcd, we would perform them. We arc ready to work, cheerfully, for the conditions of a material wc?l being, and would scruple at little, not positively vioious or immoral, that would help us to that end. But what are we to gain by prostration before the Radical party at tho North ? An ex - emption from greater severities of oppression ? They cannot spare us. They arc not sut juris. A party, impelled by the rude instincts of a mass, must roll on to the physical impediment sufficient to resist it. Its leaders are power less to restrain it. There is no promise, if made, that they could keep; their lives would be scarcely safe if they should speak for mercy or venture to stand in the track to plunder. They have made no promises?they ask pros tration merely;?or if they had, they could not keep them; and unless that party shall break to division in the spoils, or be arrested by the Government, our weak propitiations would be vain, as Eastern incantations to a pestilence, to arrcBt its desolating course. To those of our friends, then?and wc arc willing to esteem them such, and honest in their purposes?who com plain that wc arc not sufficiently humblo and complacent, we have only to say that wc have no sufficient motive to be more so. Our for tunes are not under our control, and, in our conception, wo have nothing left us but to be passive and await results with propriety and Belf-reapect. Tin: Senate is composed at present of thirty eight Radicals and thirteen Democrats and ConBorvatives. The noxt is likely to have forty one Radicals and ten Democrats. The new Senators, thus far, arc the Hon. Cornelius Cole of California, the Hons. J. S. Fowler and David T. Patterson of Tennessee (who have taken iheir seats), A. 0. Cattei.l of New Jersey (prcsont Congress), and H. W. Corbett of Ore gon. Only one of these, Senator Patterson, the President's 8on-in-law, is a Democrat. The complexion will bo further changed by tho election of a Democratic Senator in Maryland to fill the place of the Hon. J. A. J. Cresswell, Radical, whose term expires next year ; and in Pennsylvania and New JcrBey by tho choice of Radicals in place of tho Hons. Edoar Cowan and Wm. Wrigiit, DomooratB, the latter de oeased. John Evans and Jero&ie B. Chavpee ore the Senators chosen from the proposed new State of Colorado, and Thob. W. Tipton and Qen. John U. Thayer, those chosen from that of Nebraska. These four Territorial Senators are Radicals. Should those Territories be ad mitted as Slates in tho next Congress, the Radi cal Btrongth will be forty-fivo members. Mr. Sbward.?Tho Radicals are taunting Mr. Seward npt a littlo. His prophecy of 40, 000 majority in Now York for Hoffman is the occasion of much joking. Tho New York Her ald, which is serving Radicalism with a now born zeal, assails him with especial delight. It saya that tho old-CBtablishod firm of "Weed St Seward," "onoo doing a lucrativo business, has at last gone to pieces, and is hopclosafy and helplessly bankrupt." It adviaea Mr. Seward to leave tho Cabinet ami givo plaoo to a '?vigor ous, earnept man," in tho State Department. Tho Radioals had better not aggravate? Mr. Sbward. He is a man of tho sharpest sagaci ty and tho keenest mal ico. Ho is withal one of the coolest and most deliberate of mon. Ho is reported to havo said : "They think I am worn out; I shall teach them something different be foro tho year has passod." Tub Mobile courts have decided (hat when a man steals cotton ifs value muBl bo reckoned in specie, to decide whether it be grand larceny and a felony, or only a misdemeanor. A man had stolen five hundred und ni?o pounds of cotton, which was worth $12<"i in greenbacks, twenty-five dollars more than grand larceny theft, but only eighty-three in specie, so that (he thief la only guilty of a misdemeanor, und gets off by paying $200 fine instead of* going to the Penitentiary. waw?????waiaiiai laiaw . The End of the JtraixL Will Case.?The Now York Herald, of Tuesday, Bays in roforouco to this celebrated ease : The celebrated Jnmol will case c.amo to trial yes terday in too Supromo Court, Circuit, before Justice JoBoph F. Barnard, and, aft or an ojiouing Btato niout by Mr. O Conor for lito plaintiff, tho tea imo uy of several witncssoB on both sidos, including INLr. Nelson Chase, tho principal plaintiff, and Rev. I. Howard S ?ith, Um* principal dof.-ndant, and a cbargo by tho Justico, tho caso was tmbmitlcd to tho jury who, aftor a fow minutoH' consultation, ro turucd into court with a verdict in favo of the Elm nt iff on all tho issues framed. Mr. O'Conor in unatod his. willingness to hav tho jury find a supplementary ?statement oxoalpating Itov. J. How ard Smith from having used any coercion, fraud or undue infltionco in obtaining tho "xouution of Madame Jtunol's will?sot uuitlo by this verdict,? but th" jury declined to do bo. Tho cose had been actually Bottled botwoo : the parties boforo coming into court, and tho trial was only gouo through as a necessary formality. It is undotstood that un der this auttlomout, $88,500 is tu bo paid by Mr. Noleon tJlmm? of which $10.000 goon to tho ltov. J. Howard Smith, $10,000 to tho church at Carinano villo; tho various roligious and o laritablo oouiotica aro to got tho sums rospootivoly assignod to thorn in the will, and tho balanco is to bo divided up nmonpt tho lawyers. Tho heirs-at-la-v got $10,000, and tho outato passe? into tho possession of Mr. Chase. The following from tho Atlanta Prices Current, will bo an item of interest to plantors and others handling cotton : Tito supply of bagging and ropo io ample, but not in cxeosB, and price3 aro well sustained. We have no chango to notice As an offort haB been made to intruduco iron-Lie:), as a substitute for balo ropo, in packing cotton, wo doom it but fair to tho cotton producing public to lay boforo it tho following extract fr m tho circular of a reliable and highly responsible firm in Liverpool, which con clusively settle? tho question of tho comparative merits of tho iron-tie and balo rope. Tho groat superiority of tho ropo over the iron tio, in all that interests tho cotton growor, muat bo bo apparent as to compol him to discard theiron-tio altogether. Tho Livoi"poo? circular says : "Allxocf taro ot four por cent, on Amorican ropo bound cottou, whilo upon iron-bound cotton, an actual ture of from ten to twolvo pounds por bale (tho weight of tho, iron) is assessed, and in addi tion, a rogular taro of throe por cent." Under those ciroumstoncos, iron-hooped cotton is subjected to a loss of from six to eight pounds per balo moro than when baled with ropo, which, at SO cents por pound for cotton, tho now rate in Liverpool, makes a difference in favor of ropo of near ?2.40 per bale, in specie It is also stated that buyers in tho Eastern cities oro discriminating in favor of rope-baled cotton, at about fifty per cent, per balo, owing to the fact that tho old rope ia valuable for paper stock, whilo tbo old iron tie.-) or hoops aro considered worthless. Those aro oonsideratious for the planters to inves tigate, and thoy aro tho ones on whom tho loss must ultimately fall from tho ase of iron-tics in stead of bolo rope. -?-a?-. A CoNrnintmoN fbom Mbs. Jeff. Davis to tue Washington and Lee Association.?The Norfo.k Virginian contains the following paragraph : "We announce with extreme gratification and pleosuro that Mrs*. Jhffeuson Davis has prosentod to tho Washington and Lee Association, through Mrs. Dr. Fahbah, of this city, an elegant and costly set of Fronch jowels, to ho dispoaod of as tho Associa tion may decido for its bonofit. This tribute from aire. Davis, in this the necessitous hour of her own and husband's affliction, stamps hor ns the uoblost of hor box, and the gift will be cherished and prized more highly for tho gift-maker and the memories that cluster about the jewels, than for tho intrinsic value of tho jewels themselves, though they are quito costly. Tho jewels will form one of tbo chief attractions of tho fair of tho Wash ington and Leo Association, to bo hold in this city in May next." WANTS.
