MONDAY MORNING-, JANUARY 7, 1807.
A Visit to Columbia.
The long rows of rninod booses, aud tho un?
sightly pilos ol chimneys that s ill cover a largo
portion of our once beautiful Capital, are sad monu?
ments of an invader's triumph. Although peaco
has smiled upon tho land for some timo, yet tho
chango ot circiunatancos and tho impoverished
state of the country render it impossible for tho
real estate owners to improve thoir property. In
addition to this, the city finances aro so embar?
rassed that it is impossible for tho present to do
more than watch and wait.
Tho lamps in tho different store? gleam brightly
through the gloom, and aro tho only rays that
cheer tho benighted traveller. All beyond those
favored localities is Mack as Erebus, and un?
less the topography of tho place is understood,
there is no little Sanger attending a stroll at night.
Bv a rocent act of the Legislature, the City Coun?
cil aro empowered to issuo and pat in circulation a
number of chango bills, which will tend to roliovo
cresent embarrassments and form a nucleus fund
jfor futuro o orations and improvements.
While the legislature is in session, Columbia is
certainly a gay place, and the gallerios of the
Houso "and the fashionable promenades aro fre?
quented by the beauty and olito of tho city. To a
casual observer the chimney city would seem to
bc especially favored in this rospect, as tho fair
sex oro tho "most prominent of its attractions, and
it is probably owing moro to them than to any ex?
ternal influence that it acquired tho naroo of tho
beautiful city. Bat although Columbia was thor?
oughly Sherman zed, it still retains many of its
attractions.
MAIN STREET
is being rapidly rebuilt, and for the most part in a
substantial and ornamental mannor. Several
rangos' of threo story buildings have been erected,
principally with fine iron fronts, the latter being of
Oolumbia'manufacturo, and from the foundry of
Messrs. GOLDSMITH & Co. BEDELL'S fino building
looms up at tho corner of Plain und Main streets;
and its glistening appearance rendors it an admi?
rable landmark for travellers and strangers. Higher
up thc street, in the neighborhood of Cotton
Town, the improvements are scarce; but with the
advance of time, tho unsightly piles of rubbish
that now obstruct the streets will disaupoor, and
tho large warehouses be again rebuilt. Thc Execu?
tive Office stands about midway in this street,
almost opposite to the ruins of the Court House,
and within easy access to all visitors. When Co?
lumbia was burnt the people went to work with a
will, and numbers of wooden shanties woro hostil ..
thrown up on Main. Plain, Assembly, and the o Iher
business thoroughfares. These have boon gradu?
ally replaced on Main street by brick structures,
and the work of reconstruction will no doubt soon
extend to the other localities. Fortunately tho
mechanics of Columbia were not addicted to thc
use of mortar, but substituted the red clay, which
is so abundant in this section. Although "this did
not tend to make the buildings stronger, and in
order to prevent the action of tho weather, they
had to he finished on tho outside with thc genu?
ine mortar, yet it has saved an immense amount
of labor in rebuilding, as the mud-mort?r is very
easily detached from the brick, and a house built
with burnt bricks can be finished in a compara?
tivo y short time.
THE HOTELS
of Columbia were all burnt, but others havo sprung
up or been improvised for the emergency. The
National Hotel, near the South Carolina Railroad,
is a fine wooden building, admirably adapted for
the purposes of entertainment, and is kept by tho
host, Mr. JOYNER, in a manner that recommends it
to all who have ever felt its genial influences.
NICKEBSON, so long known as the able host of the
Mills House, has leased the Methodist Female
College, on Plain street, and has hung his ban?
ner on tho outer walls. NICKEBSON ha* lost none
cf his popularity by the move, and the College,
though not as attractive now as when the home of
young ladies, still offers inducements sufficient to
cause its rooms to be always filled. Besides these,
the Shiver House, on Plain street, between Maui
and Assembly, and some two or three others, aro
ready to provide entertainment for the travelling
public.
THE NEW STATE HOUSE,
at the foot of Main street, is a grand monument of
the past, for it will bo many long years before tho
Treasury of the State can afford to appropriate
enough money to complete it in the style originally
intended. All the wrath of SHERMAN'S burners
was inflicted on the unoffending pile. Not content
with the destruction of the wooden State House,
the soldiers deliberately fired the sheds under
which were stored immense amount j of granite
and marble, most of which had been carved and
was ready for use. Some of the marble pillars
were brought from Tennessee, and wore of a beau?
tiful color-red, variegated with white. Polishod*
white marble slabs for the flooring and the caps of
the pillars, which were elaborately carved, met
with the same fate, and are now but crambliug
masses of stone, hardly fit to macadamize the
' .streets. Although the ?nest and most expensive
portions of tho work met with this fate, there is
still much that can be ultimately used. Tho heavy
blocks of granite and some few of the stone pil?
lars escaped, but it would require an immense out?
lay to restore that which was destroyed or make
the remainder available. From the clan of the
architects, this State House, when finished, would
be by far finer than tho capitol of any other Stato,
and was thought bv many would comparo favora?
bly with that at Washington. The front of the
building is ornamented by the medallions of Mo
DtrFiTE and HAINE, and the fluted pillars and their
ornamental caps give the building an imposing ap?
pearance even in its present unfinished state. It
was intended to be entirely fire-proof, and conse?
quently no wood was used m its construction-the
walls being of great thickness, and in place of
rafters strong iron girders were used, which were
to support a marble floor.
At the last session of tho Legislature $1*2.000
were appropriated to cot?r the building with a
tin roof, and if possible, to make some of tho
rooms available Tor public pm poses. This will
prevent any further action of the weather, and will
at least preserve it until the State can afford to
advance funds sufficient for its completion.
THE PAHTJETTO THEE,
in the rear of the building is an ingenious monu?
ment, and reflects great credit upon that descend?
ant of TUBAL CAIN, whose quondam sign is still to
be seen in Cumberland street. None but Mr.
"VVEBSER could have fashioned such a striking re?
semblance to the palmetto from iron, and tho
State paid a worthy tribute to his powers when
she purchased it as an ornament to the Capitol
grounds. The base of the tree, which is a square
pedestal, was inscribed with the names of officers
and men, who, as members of the Palmetto Regi?
ment, fell fighting for their country. But not even
this, a national monument, could escape the spirit
of vandalism ; the raised letters were in many cases
broken ofl, and one side or the square complote] v
removed. Fortunately the tree was untouched",
and still rears its proud head aloft, a glorious
emblem of a once glorioiis State, teaching; us that
although now downtrodden, we yet may risa, and,
like our own palmetto, survivo the ruins of our
hopes.
THE UMlVKliSITi
occupies an entire square, but being composed
mostly of detached buildings, it con boast of no
architectural beauty. In common with most pub?
lic buildings, it suffered greatly during the war,
being used by the Confederate Government as a
hospital, and subsequently as barracks for the
United States troops. The Campus is a large plat
of ground covering several acres, and in summer
presents a beautiful appearance, but the leafless
trees and dilapidated houses that are now to be
seen make it look rather desolate. On either side
ore the houses of the professors, which are well
built, and being; mostly ivy clad, relieve the gloomy
air of the premises in a measure.
As the Alma Mater of the State, the South Caro?
lina College has always been a cherished institu
- an, and her graduates have risen to tho highest
position in the land. The change from a College
to a University was actuated by the same foster?
ing care-as it was hoped the transformation would
render it more attractive and cause it to regain
some of its former glories. The experiment, for
as yet it is hardly more, promises to be a success,
ana the veneration and respect with which this
institution of learning is regarded by all will be
increased with its improved facilities. At present
the Faculty consists of eleven professors, who
have charge of the various branches; the addition
of Law, Medicine and Theology not being yet com?
pleted.
During the last session of the Legislature tho
Houso occupied the old Chapel and the Library
Hall, but it is expected that the new Chapel will
bo arranged for their temporary use while the
State House remains uncompleted. Although tho
number of students is now small, they are con?
stantly increasing, and the day is not far distant
when the University will be again the people's
pride._
THE PEHTTBNT3 VBY, '
"so-called," or rather its prospective foundation,
can be seen on the banks or the Saluda Biver,
about one mile and a half from tho city. Those
who had the matter in charge certainly were gov?
erned at least by the picturesque in their choice of
a location, for the river at this point brawls finely
over a bed of stone, making the air musical with
the sound bf many waters, and effectually pre?
venting either ingress or egress hythe rocky bar?
rier that nature has reared. The Penitentiary
proper is yet in embryo, and those who expect to
seethe cells finished in one month's time will be
sorely disappointed. At present, all that is to he
seen is about a few thousand burnt brick and a
small excavation; but as they have commenced
operations, we may hope for something in the fu?
ture, however far off that may be.
The bank of the river at tins point is composed
of an under strata of granito, and the workmen
are busy excavating this and piling the superin?
cumbent earth upon tho river bank to form a
levee, which will prevent any futuro overflow. The
granite removed will be used in the construction
of the Penitentiary, and will save the labor of
bringing it from the State quarry at Granby, some
three miles distant. Between the Penitentiary
and the river, runs the Salada Canal-this has
been neglected for some time, but a small outlay
would restore it to its former usefulness. Few
canals nave the flow of water enjoyed by this, and
its sides aro carefully guarded from overflow or de
?nyby strong stone hanks. It was offered for sale
by the State, but no bids being made it is still
Near the Penitentiary are the remains of the
Powder Works, scarcely inferior to those in
Augusta. These were all destroyed by SHERMAN'S
orders, hut the massive stone walls still remain, -
and some of the buildings have been repaired to
be used as store houses. At the last session of
the Legislature, $45,000 was appropriated towards
building and perfecting tho Penitentiary; but it is
doubtful if it con be made available for a y oar or
two yet. By a walk farther np the river, at a do
toar to the right may te seen the '
WATER WORKS.
These are situated a short distance from Arsenal
Hill, and, strange to say, the water is not taken
from the neighboring river, but from numerous
springs that babble np through the earth. These
springs ore widely scattered. Dut iron tabes lead?
ing from each conduct the water to the works
where it is pumped into a huge reservoir, from
which the city is -supplied. This reservoir is situ?
ated on the top of a hill, and being of great capaci?
ty, is able to supply water both -for pubtio ancT pri?
vate nee. Tho- clayey Boil of Colombia rendons
thc water in these springe peculiarly sweet, and,
au it ia pumped from the fountain head, noth
ug can bo moro palatable. At prosont, owing to
the want of finances, many ot tho hydrants aro out
o? repair, and tho wator-works of the city aro com?
paratively useless ; bat thc private houses appreci?
ate the b?netit derived from this eourcp, and uso it
accordingly. Below tho reservoir, and nt tho foot
of Arsenal" Hill, is
THE PARK. .,
This contains about G or 8 acree, and is at pres?
ent almost in a sta'.e of nature Tho Tmdulatmg
character o? tho ground renders it admirably
adapted for the purposes intendod. It is now
diversified with a few scraggy-tar?es and a few de?
funct fountains: but still amid its desolation and
ruin presents attractions sufficient to make it the
rendezvous for lovers, and many hearts havo boon
lost and won within its grounds. A woodoo fence
encircles it, and beyond that is a fine carriago
drive, which is, or rather was, extensively patro
ized bv gav equestriennes, carriages and fast men
and horses. Wh n SHERMAN took possession of
the city he impressed everything eatable in
the stock lino that ho could find and tui-nod
his half-:;tarved cattlo into this park to feed
the famished and homeless citizens. His phil?
anthropic measures wero eminontly successful, for
thc cattlo alo tho bark from tho trees and wore en?
tirely too poor themselves for any ono to eat. Tho
Park is now but a shadow of itsolf, and though
cattlo aro now excluded, it will bo long oro it re?
sumes its pristine splondor.
TUE LUNATIC A8?LUM
is a noble charity, for at present it is almost solely
a charity, the few pay pationts boing so much im?
poverished that their friends cannot continuo their
maintenance. This institution was fortunately
spared from tho fiamos that dovastatcd Columbia,
and afforded refuge to many of tho houseless and
homeless, whom tho dreadful conflagration Bent
into tho streets. Dr. J. W. PARKES, tho ab'.o and
officient suporiiitondent, has hold tho same position
For many vears, and has succeeded in securing tho
affection of his patients to such an extont that
thev almost look upon him as a fathor. There are
fow* institutions in the United States that arc bet?
tor managed, or whose annual roports can show
bettor arrangements for tho entertainment, in?
struction or health of their inmates than the ono
under tho superintendence of Dr. PARKER. It is
to him alono that the cr dit is due of saving the
Asylum, which woi?d, but for his dignified inter?
position, have fallen a prey to the torches of SHER?
ATAN'S grand army. From among tho number or
patients admitted, many havo been discharged
cured, while tho remainder seem porfectly attach?
ed to their new aphero of Ufe, and manifest no dis?
position to change their abode.
Among tho principal points of attraction now
loft in tho city are tho
PRIVATE RESIDENCES, AC.
Prom the peculiar manner in which Columbia is
built, many families wore enablod to secure large
lots for their residences. Those have, in almost
every instance, been converted into fine gardens,
which, for artistic beauty, cannot be excelled.
Thc most prominout of these is that of General
JOHN PRESTON. This occupies a whole square,
and is enclosed on all sides but tho front with a
high brick wall. On tho premises aro fine hot?
houses, which fonnorty contained many rare
exotics, bul, in common with the remainder of the
garden, havo now been destroyed and neglected.
The absence of the family from the State has pre?
vented that care being taken whioh is absolutely
necessary to preserve a garden, and the premises
are now fast growing up into a wilderness. Other
proprietors have bestowed equal care upon their
grounds, and a drivo around the city shows on
every side, in th 3 neat and showy houses and woll
kept gardens, the best ovi donee that Columbia is
not despondent, but is only gathering breath for a
progressive leap, that will soon restore her to her
pr?stino splendor.
Columbia is the centre of several railroads, all of
which bring traffic to her market, and although
her facilities are somewhat cramped at present,
vot thcro is no danger that she will be left behind
In tho march of time. The Columbia and Augusta
Railroad, which is now in course of construction,
it is anticipated will do much for the city, and will
add to its resources in the future. Other projects
are also entertained which are to share tho benefi?
cial result of bringing increased trade and activity
to tho city, and thus afford the moans of rebuild?
ing her rained streets. This io no Rip Van Winkleigh
ago. and Columbia is well aware that she must ex?
ert herself in order to prosper. Her merchants aro
energetic thorough business men, and with her fu?
ture ia their hands, our Capital will soon be re?
juvenated, and become onco more the pride and
boast of the people.

LETTER sramEE XXVI.
BRUSSELS, BELOITJM, 1866.-Brussels is the Capi?
tal of Belgium, and is m the centre of the most
highly cultivated country in Europe. It has a
thriving population of 180,000. Brussels is one of
tho finest cities on the Continent; the houses arc
substantially built of stone; the broad, clean
streets in the upper part of the city aro magnifi?
cent. Tho grand Park is thc admiration of every
traveller-it is laid out into a kind of publie gar
don, intersected by beautiful walks, bordered with
trees, and ornamented with handsome statues of
white marble, and filled with numerous fountains,
which aro quito refreshing of a hot summer dayl
Brussels is celebrated for its world-renowned car?
pets, and manufactures of tapestry and lace.
Several thousand female operatives are employed
in the manufacture of lace-the most of this deli?
cate work is done by the needle, which is very try?
ing to the eyes. In a public square is tho old
Spanish palaces, with gorgeous tropical adorn?
ments and gobelin tapestry. These palaces were
occupied by the Spanish Governors, when Belgium
was under Spanish rule. The museum in the halls
of tho palace contains some uno pictures, statues,
etc. The Museum of Natural History is quite
interesting and very complete.
An hour's ride in" an open carriage from Brus?
sels, and I find myself at Waterloo, celebrated as
the sceno of the great battle cf 18th Juno, 1815,
which completed the downfall of Napoleon. An
nncontrolable ambition took possession of Napo?
leon in his youthfid military career. It would
seem he had won for himself and his empire a
name and reputation that would have satisfied an
Alexander or a Caesar, but not so. Josephine-who
had ever been his guardian angel, and to whom it
is said he was devotedly attached-failed to fur?
nish him with an heir for his mighty empire. In
an evil hour Napoleon permitted ambition to over?
ride love, humanity and justice. The true and
faithful Jos?phine was abandoned, and Napoleon
demanded in marriage the band of Maria Louisa,
a young Austrian girl, not out of her teens, who
was tho daughter of Emperor Francis, of Austria.
This unwarrantable conduct of Napoleon found no
favor, not even in the eyes of the French nation;
they felt that the warm-hearted Josephine was
cruelly wronged by one who had sworn to bo her
protector, and that the French had gained nothing
by tho alliance with the proud race of Hapsburg,
i rom the date of Napoleon's desertion of Joseph?
ine, Fate turned against him. Now that he was
nibed by marriago with the strong power
of Austria, his ambition knew no bounds.
He decided to make war upon the pow?
erful empire of Russia.
lu tho summer of 1812, Napoleon placed himself
at the hoad of the finest army ever raised in France.
Nearly half a million of men marched ont of the
Bunny vine-clad hills of France, destined for the
City of Moscow. Many of his wisest military coun?
sellors warned him against an attempt to invade
the ancient Capital of Russia in the winter months.
'"Poace," he exclaimed, "awaits ns beneath the
walls of Moscow." Fatal delusion I This immense
army was to be marched twenty-five hundred miles,
one thousand of which was through tho barren
plains of Russia. This sandy desert furnishes food
for neither man nor boost. In the month of Sep?
tember a terrible battlo was fought. The French
fained a partial victory at .the cost of 32,000 men.
he Russians lost 50,000. The Russians retired in
good order, pursued by the 'victorious and confi?
dent French. The Russian commander decided not
to hazard his army in the defence of Moscow. He
well knew the French were advancing to their own
destruction, as the rigors of a Russian winter was
near at hand, and the impossibility of the enemy
subsisting such an army in the heart of a hostilo
country. Moscow was at that time one of tho
richest and largest cities in Europe, being twenty
miles in circumference. It was in the autumn of
1812 that Napoleon entered the ancient City of the
Czars. "Moscow 1 Moscow !" shouted the excited
and exultant soldiers. They vainly thought their
sufferings were at an. end, as they quartered
themselves in the gorgeous palaces, splendidly
furnished with ? everything requisite to make a
weary soldier comfortable. Napoleon and staff
established themselves in the palace of the Krem?
lin, which was the imperial seat of the ancient
Russian Monarchs. When the Emperor discovered
that the inhabitants had deserted their homes, he
had forebodings of evil. Soldiers were stationed in
all portions of the'city-to guard against fire or
sudden surprise. The Emperor Alexander had
turned loose 15,000 desperadoes from the prisons,
who were stealthily preparing to convert the splen?
did metropolis into an infernal machine, for (he
destruction of the invading army. Immense maga?
zines ot powder, sheila, and other destructive
engines or war, were placed under the palace'
occupied by Napoleon, and" scattered beneath the
houses which were crowded .with the French sol?
diers. The water pipes were cut, fountains and
fire engines destroyed; nothing waa left undone to
render the destruction of the city complete; even
the elements came to the aid of. .tho demons in
their work of desolation, for about night an equi?
noctial gale, swept over the city. A protracted
drought had prepared the wooden houses for the
torch. At midnight" Napoleon threw himself, ex?
hausted, on his bed, but he was Ul at ease; his
conscience was torturing him; he hod deeply
wronged the bosom companion of his vouth; the
cry of "fire" resounded through the s"treats, the
Heavens were illuminated" by the volumes of
flames, as they burst forth in Tarions sections of
the city.
Tremendous explosions of shells and magazines
of powder shook the doomed city like an earth?
quake. The Imperial Guard of 20,000 mon were
ordered ont. These .brave soldiers, who were
never known to falter, could not stand before the
terrible fiery foe. The French soldiers shot, bay?
oneted, and threw the incendiaries into the burn?
ing lake of fire, but it did not stop, them in their
work of doaclation. Thousands of men, women
and children were buried beneath the falling
houses and timbers that had been hurled into the
air. Napoleon found the palace in which he was
quartered surrounded by fi?mes, and came near
being swallowed in tho roaring sea of fire. Such
an event would have saved him years of pain and
anguish. Perhaps his lifo was spared, that he
might have time to repent in sorrow of his cruel
treatment of Josephine. The fire kindled by the
fiends in all portions of the city, was swept for
three days by a terrible gale, until Moscow, twenty
m. ln e'rcnmferenoo, was reduced to a heap of
ruins. The burning of Moscow saved the Russian
Empire, and banished Napoleon to the Island of
Elba.
During the Russian campaign the French, lost
350,000 bravo soldiers. Nearly one-half perished
from cold, hunger and fatigue in their disastrous
retreat after the destruction of Moscow.'. The loss
of tho Russians, including those who perished for
the want of food and shelter, was greater. ' than.
that of the French. ! Seven hundred thousand lives."
sacrificed in a six months' campaign I and this to
gratify tho ambition of one man. Such is war !
It > involves in its mad career every conceivable
crime, poisoning the minds and morals of a nation,
reducing the people to. want, sorrow and misery.
And yet there are Ministers of the Gospel who de
rond tho shedding .'?f a brother's blood, mid ap
poals to tho Bible to sustain them in thoir argu?
ments. In my humble opinion, war Js tho work of
tho 'devil;' God may permit it. but he does not
justify it. When CAIN ruado war upon Anr.^,, God
said unto him: "And now art thou cursed from tho
earth which hath opened hor mouth to re?oive thy
brother's blood from thv hand. When thou tillost
the ground it shall not henceforth yiold unto theo
her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shalt thou
bc on tho earth." God showed his displeasure by
cursing the ground CAM? was to till, and making
him a fugitivo and a vagabond. G. W. W.

A FEW WORDS OP COMMON
SENSE. ' '
How few there aro who ore not subject to some affection
of the lungs or respiratory organs, who, by neglecting
premonitory symptoms, aggravate the complaint, until
disease strikes its shafts, causing inexpressible torture
of the patient, and anxiety and distress to friends. "Only
a cold 1" "A slight sore throat!" is the heedless remark
of many when so affected. Yes ; "Only a'cold," was the
thoughtless expression of thousands whom Death hos
marked for his prey.
Forewarned-Forearmed I should bo the motto forever
in the minds of ali subject to Coughs, Colds, Catarrh, or
Influenza. Words of advice should be heeded by all suf?
fering from Asthma, Bronchitis, Consumption. Relief ia
within their reach; and, if neglected, fatal consequences
ensue-a life of misery-a daily, hourly struggle for ex?
istence. A contest in which there can be hut ons viator
-Death! ..",.. > ' ,; .V's % fe.
Does it not appal tho strongest mind; to thin u r the
result caused by neglect 7 Then why delay? .'hot ex?
cuse can be offered, when timely, warning ia i >nnded ni

Even, when-the sufferer ia i a the last stages, he wDl find
