MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 7,18C7. A Tisit to Columbia; Tho long rows of ruined houses, and tho un-, nightly piles of chimneys that s ill cover a largo portion of our once beautiful Capital, ore sad monu? ments of rm invader's triumph. Although poaco has smiled npou tho land for somo timo, yet tho chango of circumstances and tho impoverished state of the country render it impossible for tho real estate owners to improve thoir property. In addition to thia, tho city finances aro so embar? rassed that it is impossiblo for the present to do more than watch and wait. Tho lamps in tho different storos gleam brightly through the gloom, and are tho only rays that cheer tho bonighted tra voller. All beyond thoso favored localities is black as* Erebus, and un? less tho topography of the place is understood, there is no little danger attending a stroll at night. Bv a recent act of the Legislature, the City Coun? cil aro empowered to issue and put in circulation a number of change bills, which will tend to relieve ?rasent embarrassments and form a nucleus fund br future o orations and improvements. While the Legislature is in session, Columbia is certainly a gay place, and the galleries of tho House and the fashionable promenades aro fre " quented by the beauty and elito of tho city. To a casual observer the chimney city would seem to be especially favored in this respect, as tho fair uex are the most prominent of its attractions, aud it is probably owiug more to them than to any ex? ternal influence that it acquired tho name of the beautiful city. But although Columbia was thor? oughly ^berman zed, it ?till retains nany of its attractions. MAIN STREET is being rapidly rebuilt, and for the most part in a substantial and ornamental manner. Several ranges of three story buildings havo been erected, principally with flue iron fronts, the latter being of Columbia manufacture, and from the foundry of Mesara. GOLDSMITH & Co. BEDELL'S fine building looms up at the corner of 'Pain and Main streets; and its glistening appearance renders it an admi? rable landmark for travellers and strangers. Higher np the street, in the neighborhood of Cotton 'j own, tho improvements are scarce; but with tho advance of time, the unsightly piles of rubbish that now obstruct the streets will disaupear, and the large warehouses be again rel/iilt. The 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 lambhvwas burnt the people went to work with a Rill, and numbers of wooden shanties were has td .. thrown up on Main, Plain, Assembly, and the other business thoroughfares. These have been gradu? ally replaced on Main street by brick structures, aniline work of reconstruction will no doubt soon extend to the other localities. Fortunately the mechanics of Columbia were not addicted to the use of mortar, but substituted the red clay, which is so abundant in thia section. Although this did not tend to moke the buildings stronger, and in order to prevent the action of the weather, they had to be finished on the outside with the genu? ine mortar, vet it has saved an immense amount of labor in rebuilding, as the mud-mortar is very easily detached from the brick, and a house built with burnt bricks can be finished in a compora ti.-e y short time. THE HOTELS of Columbia were all burnt, but others have sprung up or been improvised for the emergency. The National Hotel, near the Sout.1. Carolina Railroad, is a fine wooden building, admirably adapted for the purposes of entertainment, and is kept by the Los t. Mr. JOTKER, in a manner that recommends it to all who have ever felt its genial influences. NICKERBON, so long known as the able host of the Mills House, has leased the Methodist Female College, on Plein street, and has hung his ban? ner on the outer walls. NICKERSON bae lost nono 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 Main and Assembly, and some two or three others, ore ready to provide entertainment for tho travelling pnbhe. THE NEW STATE HOUSE, at the foot of Main street, is a grand monument of .the past, for it will be many long years before the Treasury of the State can aflora to appropriate enough money to complete it in the style originally intended. All the wrath of SHERMAN'S burners vas 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 amounts of granite and marble, most of which had been carved and was ready for use. Some of tho marble pillars were brought from Tennessee, and were of a beau? tiful color-red, variegated with white. Polished white marble Blabs for the flooring and the caps of the pillars, which were elaborately carved, met with the same fate, and are now but crumbling masses of stone, hardly fit to macadamize the streets. Although the finest and most expensive portions of the work mot with this fa to, there is ?till much that can be ultimately used. The heavy blocks of granite and some few of the stone pil? lars escaped, but it would require an immense out? lay to res toro that which was destroyed pr make the remainder available. From tho plan of tho architects, this State House, whon finished, would be by far finer than tho capitol of any other State, and was thought hy many would compare favora? bly with that at Washington, .' ho front of the budding is ornamented by the medallions of Me? ll UFTTE and HAYNS, 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 in its construction-the walls being of great thickness, and in placo of rafters strong iron girders were used, which were tb support a marble floor. , At the last session of thc Legislature $12.000 were appropriated to cover the building with a tin roof, and if possible, to make somo of the rooms available for public pm poses. This will prevent any further action of the weather, and will nt least preserve it until the State can afford to advance funds sufficient for its completion. THE PALMETTO TREE, in the rear of the building is an ingenious monu? ment, and reflecte great credit upon that descend? ant of TUBAL CAIN, whose quondam sign is still to be seen in Cumberland street. None but Mr. WERNER could have fashioned snch 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 tho Capitol grounds. Tho 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 of *nd one side of tho square completely removed, i jrtunately the tree was untouched, and still rears its proud head aloft,. a glorious emblem of a once glorious State, teaching us that although now. downtrodden, we yet may rise, and, like our own palmetto, survive the ruins of our hopes. THE UNIVERSITY. occupies an entire square, but being composed mostly of detached buddings, it can boast of no architectural beauty. In common with most puB lio buildings, it Buffered greajj^Ldaring the war, being used by the Confederate Government os a hospital, and subsequently as barracks for the United States troops. The Campus is a large plat of ground covering several' acres, and in Bummer presents a beautiful appearance, but the leafless trees and dilapidated' houses that are now to be seen make-it Jpok rather desolate. On either side are the houses of the professors, which aie well built, and being mostly ivy clad, relieve the gloomy air of the premises in a measure. As the Alma Mater of the State, tho South Caro? lina College has always been a cherished institu? tion, and her graduates have risen to the highest esition in the land. - The change from a College a University was actuated by the same foster? ing care as ii was hoped the transformation would Tender it more attractive and cause it to regain ijcme of its former glories. The experiment, for as yet it is hardly more, promises to he a success, and the veneration and respect with which this institution of learning is regarded by all will be incrcaaod 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 -- "plated. During the last session of the Legislature tho House occupied, the old Chapel and the Library Hall, but it is expected that the new Chapel will he arranged for their temporary uso while the State House romains uncompleted. Although the n um ber of students is now small, they aro con? stantly increasing, and the day is not far diataut when the University will be again the people's pride. . _ THE nmXZKTIABT, "so-called," or rather its prospective foundation, can be seen on the banks of the Saluda River, about one mile and a half from the 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 bea of stone, making the air musical with the sound of many waters, and effectually pre? venting either ingress or egress by the rocky bar , rj rier that nature has reared. Tho Penitentiary proper is yet in embryo, and those who expect tb seo the cells finished in one months time will be sorely disappointed. At present, all that is to be seen is about a few thousand burnt brick and a small excavation; but as they havo commenced operations, we may hope for something iu tho fu? ture, however far off that may be. The bank of the river at this point is composed of an under strata of granite, and the workmen are busy excavating this and piling tho superin? cumbent earth upon the river bank to form a levee, which will prevent any future overflow. Thc granite removed will be used in tho constrncti-n cf the Penitentiary, and will save tho labor of bringing it from the State quarry at Granby, some three miles distant. Between the Penitentiary wad the river runs the Saluda Canal-this has bera neglected for some time, but a small outlav weald restore it to its farmer usefulness. Few canals havo the flow of water enjovod by thia and it3 sides are carefully guarded from overflow or de? si vy by strong stone banks. It was offered for sale by the State, but no bids being made it ia still Government oroperty. Near the Penitentiary are the remains of tho Powder Works, scarcely inferior to those in Augusta. These wero all destroyed by SHERMAN'S orders, bnt the massive stone walls ?till remain and some of the buildings have been repaired to to used as ejtore houses. At the last session of the Legislature; $45,000 was appropriated towards building and perfecting the Penitentiary; but it ?H doubtful if it can be made available for a year or two yet. By a walk further up the river, at a de? tour td the right may be seen tho WATES WORKS. These aro situated a short distance from Arsenal Hill, and, strange to say, the water is not taken from the neighboring river, but from numerous spnng8 that bubble up through the earth. These springs are widely scattered, but iron tubes lead? ing from each conduct the water to the works, where. rt is pumped into a huge reservoir, from which the city is supplied. This reservoir is situ? ated on the top of a mil, and hoing of great capaci? ty, is able to supply water both for public antfpri yate use. The clayey soil of Colombia rendors the water in theso springs peculiarly sweet, and. os it is pumped from the fountain head, noth ~ng can be moro palatable. At prosent, owing to tho want of fbiaucos, many of the hydrants aro out of repair, and tho water-works of tbo city aro com? paratively useless ; bnt thc private houses appreci? ate tho benefit derived from this BOurce, and usc it accordingly, Bolow tho reservoir, and at thc foot of Araenai Hill, is TUX FABE. Thia contains about f> or 8 acres, aud is at pres? ent almost in i-ata'o of nature. Tho undulating character of Die ground renders it admirably adapted for the purposes intended. It is now diversified with a few scraggy trees and a few de? funct fountains; but still amid its desolation and min presents attractions sufficient to inako it thc rendezvous for lovers, and many hearts havo boon lost and won within ita grounds. A'woodon fence encircles it, aud bevoud that is a fine carnage drivo. which is, or rather wns, extensively patron? ized by gav equestriennes, carriages and fast mon and bones. \Vh n SHERMAN took possession of tho citv ho impressed everything eatablo in the a'ock lino that ho could lind and turned his half-starved cattle iuto this park to feed tho famished and homeless citizens. His phil? anthropic measures wcro eminently successful, for tho cattle ato tho bark from tho troes and were en? tirely too poor themselves for any one to oat. The Park" ia now but a Bhadow of itself, and though cattio aro now excluded, it will be long oro :t re-, sumes its pristine splendor. THE LUNATIO ASYLUM is a noblo charity, for at present it is almost solely a charity, tho few pay patients being BO much im? poverished that their friends cannot continue their maintenance. This institution was fortunately spared from the Hames that devastated Columbia, and afforded refuge lo many o' the houseless and homeloss, whom the droadfr milagration sent into thc street5!. Dr. J. W. PAUPER, the able and efficient superintendent, has hold thc same position for mmy years, and has succeeded in securing the affection of his patients to such au extent that they almost look upon him as a father. There are fow'institntious in the United States that aro bet? tor managed, or whoso annual reports can BIIOW better arraur. ementa for tho entertainment, in? struction or health of thoir inmates than the ono undor tho superintendence of Dr. PARKER. It is to hint alone that the credit is duo of saving the Asylum, which would, but for hi? dignified inter? position, havo fallen a prey to the torches of SHER? MAN'S grand army. From amon? tho number of patients admitted, manv have boen discharged cured, while the remainder seem perfectly attach? ed to their new sphere of lifo, and manifest no dis? position to change their abode. Among the principal points of attraction now loft in tho city are tho PRIVATE RESIDENCES, ?C. From the peculiar manner in which Columbia is built, many families were enabled to secure largo lots for their residences. These have, in almost overv instance, been converted into fine gardons, which, for artistic beauty, cannot be excelled. Tho most prominent of theso is that of General JOHN PRESTON. T??B occupies a wholo square, and ia enclosod on ali sides but the front with a high brick wall. On the premises are fine hot? houses, which formerly contained many rare exotics, but, in common with tho remainder of the garden, have now been destroyed and neglected. The absonce of tho family from the State hua pre? vented that care being taken which is absolutely necessary to preserve a garden, and the premises are now fast growing up into a wilderness. Other proprietors have bestowed equal caro upon their grounds, and a drive around the city shows on every side, in thj neat and Bhowy houses and well kept gardens, the best evidence that Columbia is not despondent, but is only gathering breath for a progressive leap, that will soon restore her to her pristine splendor. Columbia ia the centre of several railroads, all of which bring traffic to her market, and although her facilities are Bomewhat cramped at present, vet there is no danger, that she win be left behind in the 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 ita resources in tho future. Other projects aro also entertained which are to shore the benefi? cial result of bringing increased trade and activity to the city, and thus afford the means of rebuild? ing her ruined streets. This ii no Bip Van Winkleish age. and Columbia is well aware that she must ex? ert herself in order to prosper. Her merchants are energetic thorough busirosa men, and with her fu? ture in their bands, our Capital will soon be re? juvenated, and become once more the pride and boast of the people. Sketches of Travol. LETTER NUMBER XXVI. BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, 18G6.-Brussels is tho Capi? tal of Belgium, and is itt 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 tho upper part of the city are magnifi? cent. The grand Park is the admiration of every traveller-it is laid out into a kind of public gar? den, intersected by beautiful walks, bordered with trees, and ornamented with handsome atarnos of white marble, and filled with numerous fountains, which aro quite refreshing of a hot summer day. Brussels is celebrated for its world-ronowned car? pets, and manufactures of tapestry and lace. Several thousand female operatives are omplojed in the manufacture of lace-the most of thia deli? cate work is done by the needle, which is very fry? ing to tho oyes. In a public square is tho old Spanish palaces, with gorgeous tropical adorn? ments and gobelin tapestry. Those palaces wore occupied by the Spanish Governors, when Belgium was under Spanish rule. The museum in tho halls of the palace contains some uno pictures, statues, etc. The Museum of Natural Histor}' ia quito interesting and very complete. An hour's ride in on open carriage from Brus? sels, and I lind myself at Waterloo, celebrated as the scene of the great battle of 18th June, 1815, which completed the downfall of Napoleon. An unconfrolablo ambition took possession of ?apo I loon in his youthful military career. It would seom he had won for himself and his empire a nomo and reputation that would have satisfied au Alexander or a Ciesar, but not so. Joseph-no-v/ho had ever been bia guardian angel, and to whi m it ia said ho 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 Josephine waa abandoned, and Napoleon demanded in marriage the hand of Maria Louisa, a young Austrian girl not out of hor teenB, who waa the daughter of Emperor Francia, of Austria. Thia unwarrantable conduct of Napoleon found no favor, not even in the oyes of tho French nation; they felt that tho warm-hearted Josephine was cruelly wronged by one who had sworn to bo her protector, and that tho French had gained nothing by the alliance with tho proud race of Hapsburg. From tho date of Napoleon's desertion of Jos?ph? ine, Fate turned against him. New that ho was allied by marriage with the strong power of Austria, his ambition know no bounds. He decided to make war upon the pow? erful empire of Russia. In the summer of 1812, Napoleon placod himself at the head of the fineat army ever raised in Franco. Nearly half a million of mon marched out of thc ?nanny ?vine-clad hills of France, destined for the City of Moscow. Many of bia wiaeat military coun? sellors warned him against an attempt to invade the ancient Capital of Russia in the winter months. "Peace," ho exclaimed, "awaiti us bon oat h the walls ot Moscow." Fatal delusion I Thia immense army waa to be marched twenty-five hundvcd milos, one thousand of which was through thc barron plains of Kusaia. Thia sandy desert furnishes food for neither man nor beast. In tho month of Sep? tember a terrible battle was fought. The French fained a partial victory at tho cost of 32,000 men. he Russians lost 50,000. The Bussions retirod in food ordor, pursued by the victorious and confi? ent French. The Buss?an commander decided not to hazard his army in tho defence of Moscow. He well knew tho French were advancing to their omi destruction, aa thc rigors of a Russian winter waa near at hand, and the impossibility of tho enemv subsisting snob an army in the heart of a hostile country. Moscow was at that timo ono of the richest and largest cities in Europe, being twenty mile? in circumference. It was in the autumn of 1819 that Napoleon onterod the ancient City of tho Czars. "MoscowI Moscow!" shouted the oxcitod and:exultant soldiers. They vainly thought their 'sufferings were at un end, as they quartorod thcm8olvca in tho gorgeous palaces, splendidly furnished with everything requisite to mako a weary soldier comfortable. Napoleon and etaff established themselves in tho palace of the Krem? lin, which was the imperial soat of tho ancient Russian Monarchs. When tho Emperor discovered that the inhabitants had deserted their homos, ho had forebodings of evil. Soldiers wore stationod in ah portions of tho city to guard against fire or sudden surprise. Tho Emperor Alexandor had turned loose 15,000 desperadoes from tho prisons, who wcro stealthily preparing to convert the splen? did metropolis into an . infernal machine, for tho deafruction of tho invading arm v. Immense maga? zines of powder, Bhells, and 'other destructivo onginea of war, were placed under tho palace occupied by Napoleon, and scattered beneath tho houses which were crowded with the French sol? diers. The water pipea were cut, fountains and fire enginea destroyed; nothing was left undone to render tho destruction of the city complete; even tho elements came to the aid of tho demons in their work of desolation, for about night an equi? noctial gale swept over "tho city. A protracted drought had prepared tho wooden houses for the j torch. At midnight Napoleon threw himself, ex? hausted, on his bed, but he waB ill at ease; his conscience wus torturing him; ho had deeply wronged tho bosom companion of his youth; tho cry of "fire" resounded through the streets, the Heavens were illuminated by the volumes of llames, aa they burst forth in various sections uf the city. Tremendous explosions of abolis and magazines of powder ahook tho doomed city like an earth? quake. The Imperial Guard of 20,000 men were ordered out. Theso bravo soldiors, who wcro never known to falter, could not stand before tho terrible fiery foe. Tho French soldiers shot, bay? oneted, and throw the incendiaries into tho burn? ing lake of fire, but it (fid not atop thom in their work of desolation. Thonsands of nu n, women and children wore buried beneath tho falling houses aud timbers that had been hurled iuto the air. Napoleon found tho palace in which he was j quartered surrounded by llames, ?md carno near hoing swallowed in tho roaring soa of lire. Such an event would have saved him vears of pain and anguish. Perhaps bis life was" spared, that ho might have time to repent in sorrow of his cruel treatment of Josephine. The fire kindled by tho llends ia all portions of the citv, waa swept for three days by a terrible galo, untif Moscow, twenty miles in circumference, was reduced to a heap <>f ruins. The burning of Moscow saved the Russian Lmpirc, and banished Napoleon to the Island of Elba. oK?urm? **U8H>an campaign the French lost 350,000 bravo soldiers. Ncarlv one-half perished from cold, hunger and fatigue'in their disastrous retreat aftor tho destruction of Moscow. The loss of tho Russians, including those who perished for the want of food and shelter, was greater than that of thc French. Seven hundred thousand lives sacrificed in a 8ix months'campaign ! and thia to gratify the ambition of ono man. Such is war! It involves in ita mad career every conceivable crime, poisoning tho minds and morale of a nation, reducing thc people to want, sorrow and misery. And yet there aro MiniBtcra of tho Gospel who do fond tho shedding of a brother's blood, and ap? peals to the Bible to sustain thom in their argu? ments. In my humblo opinion, war?is tho work of tho dovil; God mavponnit it,, but he does not justify it. When CAIN mado war upon ABEL, God said unto him: "And now art thou cursed from tho earth which hath oponed her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. When thou tillest tho ground it shall not henceforth yield unto theo her strongth; a fugitivo and a vagabond shalt thou be on tho earth.' God showed his displeasure by cursing thc grotmd CAIN was to till, and making him n fugitivo and a vagabond. G. W. W. COMMERCIAL. Exports.
