Ferry spoke in favor of the bilL In the House, the business was unimpor? tant. In t?ie Supreme Court, Charlea O'Conor ar? gued in favor of the taxability of certiScates of indebtedness held by the banks. The object of the bill increasing the number of the Judges of the Supreme Court is to keep the circuits ia perpetual session, with the view of maintaining better order in the South. The Reconstruction Committee have con? cluded their examination ot the Republican Committee, from Mississippi, who produced data and arguments to show frauds and irre? gularities at the recent constitutional election. They want seven counties thrown out, which, they assert, would give a majority of three thousand in faver of the constitution. There has been no action by the committee. The army expenditures for the past three years, commencing July, .1865, are two hun? dred and ninety-?v6 millions, whereof nearly one hundred millions was on account of liabiii* ties incurred during the rebellion, leaving one hundred and ninety-five millions as the outlay for current expenses during the time named, an average of sixty-five millions per annum.

Georgia is excluded from the bill repealing the act prohibiting military organizations, bo cause of irregularities in her reconstruction. Sheridan is camped below Fort Dodge.

[FBOM AN OCCASIONAL COIUMSPONDENT. ] WALTEBBOKO, December 9.-Large sales of property were made here on Monday last by the Commissioner in Equity and Sheriff. The prices obtained were considered very low. The crops generally in those parts aro pretty goed. Almost every planter has made plenty of rice, corn, potatoes and sugar caue. There arc, I understand, many applications to rent places on tbe AshGpoo, and in some instances to purchase, as it is generally known that many plantations along the river are rich in phos? phates and limestone. It is the general testi? mony that tho freedmen are getting more dis? posed to work steadily, since the excitement of the elections is ovor. A trip through the plantations bordering on tho Ashepoo has enabled me to gather the following facts in regaru to the condition of the crops. Sterling P.antatiou, managed and planted by Mr. James Ewing, lias made a good cotton and provision crop. Thc crop of rice on the estate of Pringle, managed by Mr. T. Witsell, is much injured by freshets. The es? tate of Charles Neyle, worked and managed by negroes, has but a poor crop. Sampson Paul'6 place was rented by a Mr. Noyes, who said that uiz crop was a failure; ho has since gone back to tho North whence no came. Dr. X. Dehou's ! place, managed by Mr. T. Ostend, as agent for Burrill Sanders, Esq., was planted late; the land is not iu good order and tho crop is only tolerable. Crossing the rivar. vre cono to tho planta? tion of tho late W. H. Lowndes, hired this year by Mr. Richardson, and managed by Gil? bert Johnson. The crop, both of rico and pro? visions, is pretty fair. Major Warley'a planta? tion, rented to banders and Larisey, who are old, experienced planters, is considered one of the best located places on the river. The Sa? vannah and Charleston Railroad ruus through it to Ashepoo ferry. Here tho lands arc of excellent quality and in fino condition, and thc year's pla /ting has resulted ia a splendid turn? out of rice, cstton and provisions. Next is the plamtation of Mr J. Lewis, managed by his son, who bas nn\d? a very fair crop. On Mr Yanderhorst's place, managed by Mr. Larisey, the crop is also very good. I dui syt visit the west side of the ri- er, but am told that the lauds thero are not so productive. TRAVELLER. [CO?Mrj.SICATED. ] School Cclebrutlon ut George's Station. GEOSOS'S STATION, December ll.-This is a small village on the South Carolina Ball iv ad, forty-eight miles from Charleston, lt was founded by Mr. James George, a man of eccen? tric habits, but of great moral and social worth. Mr. George lived to an advanced age, and died last year, lamented by numerous friends Lud acquaintances. The village which bears his nam? enjoys a profitable trade in produce from the surrounding country. Messrs. Utsey & Co., and Mr. J. Dukes, aro the principal mer? chants. A fine school has been in successful opera? tion here lor tbiee years, under the charge of Mr. Morgan C. Connor, a graduate of thc South Carolina College, a successful teacher, and a gentleman of unimpeachable character.

E?lSi'O. -The Russian military establishment is divi? ded into two classes, the active army winch takes the field m case of war abroad, cjd ho interior forco, the duty of which co- -I-L- III training conscripts at home. The i:i i.twrof the former is fixed at 778,000 infantry, ?S.OOO cavalry, 74,000 artillery, and 17,000 ci ^c. - altogether 923,000 nieii. In time of ua+jo ;.iis effeitivo falls to 515,000.

Deduct? ing a suitable proportion of the latter for scr vico in the interior, the effective of the active army in time of war is placed at 1,100,000 sol? diers. Reducing this effective by 200,00'J regu? lar troops which garrison the Caucasus, Sibe? ria and Turkestan, t'.ie Moscow Gazette asserts that Russia can oppose to Western Europe nearly 900,000 men. -Victoria has recovered from her grief suffi? ciently to use a monogram on her note paper, done in silver and black. .1*7 .1Ila, OT COLUMJIIA.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, S. C., December 14, 1SGS.-Thc Governor transmitted to the House of Repre? sentatives to-day thc following messages : STATE OF SOOTH C AROLINA. EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, COLUMBIA, S. C., December 14, lS?s. The honorable Speaker of th" House of Representatives: SIR-I have the honor to transmit to thc House ot Representatives the enclosed com? munication from tho Deputy Constable of Lan? caster County, iu relation to acts of lawless? ness and violence in that vicinity, and thc supineness and indifference of the executi vc officers of the county to tho perpetration of outrages whereby ttio lives and properly of pcacelul aud law abiding citizens arc placed at the mercy of tho turbulent and disaffected. I also enclose a lettci from Dr. A. F. G. Mittag, the auditor of the county, on the same sub? ject. Dr. Mittag is one o? our most respectable and intelligent citizens, and his statements may bc implicitly relied on. It is absolutely necessary that a stop should be put to these disgraceful outraces, and thc turbulent and disifiected made to feel the force ot' laws which they arc daily in the habit of violating, and to this end all "tho constitutional powers of the government should be promptly brought into requisition. Very respcctfnllv, ROBERT E. SCOTf, Governor. STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, EXECUTIVE D?PARTAIENT, COLUMBIA, S. C., December 14, 18C8. The Honorable Speaker of the House of Representatives : SIR-I have tho honor to transmit to thc House of Representatives the accompanying communication from Colonel John R. Edie, Assistant Commissioner of tho Freedmen's Bureau, calling attention to tho Shaw Orphan Asylum, in which destitute colored orphan children from all parts of the State are sub? sisted and educated. Thc near approach of tho withdrawal of tho Freedmen's Bureau, by which this meritorious institution has been hitherto supported, renders it necessary that measures should bc taken for its continuance, and Colonel Edie suggests that provision may bo made by law for its support as a Stato in? stitution. 'In this recommendation 1 cordially concur, and trust that tho Goueral Assembly may doom it compatible with the public inter? ests to make tho necessary provision for that purpose. Very respectfully, ROB li Rf K. SCOTT, Governor. The condition of this building (Janney's Hall), of which 1 wrote you before, seems to be growing worse. Tho west end has now bulged out, and many members do not deem it safe to go near it, much less to sit thero and legislate. Tho result has been the introduc? tion of concurrent resolutions looking to tho occupation of another building. Negotiations have been in progress for the purchaso or lease of Nickereon's Hotel. The proprietor, Mr. Wright, who has a lease of it until Sep? tember next, proposod to deliver the building to the General Assembly on tho latter paying $5000, or tho difference in rent asked hun for a rango of new buildings on Main-street, known as the Davis block, admirably suited to hotel purposes. Tho special committee, however, this morning, report?e- unfavorably on the pro? posal of Mr. Wright, though hopes are still en? tertained that some arrangement may yet bu effected. The following resolution was introduced in both houses, which was ordered fo.' considera? tion to-mono w : Resolved, by the House of Representatives, the Sonate concurring, That, iu cons?quence of the very dangerous condition of the building now occupied by the General Assembly, and tho inconvenience to which thc members ara daily subjected, unless somo more suitable building be obtained, this body do adjourn to Charleston or some other suitable pl i cc. Mr. Ncaglo introduced the following, which was subsequently withdrawn: Resolved, by tho House of Representatives, the Senat? concurring, That when this Geueral Assembly adjourns, it adjourns to meet at 12 M. on Weduesday, thu 15th instant, at thc college buildings, and that during the interval, tho sergcant-at-arms be instructed to remove the furniture ol both houses to such rooms in said buildin?B as a committee of - from the Senate aud three from tho House may di? rect. A new proposition, I learn, has boen made by Mr. Wright this evening. Ile proposes that the Gcnoral Assembly pay him a pro rata from the present time, to thc first of September, of the cost of thc lease of tho new building on Muin-streot, which would be for eight montliB, at the rate o? $5000 per annum, and he will then vacate forthwith. If the General Assembly, after their time expires in September, desire to co iti me tho lease, they can get it lor the sumo prjCJ now paid, viz: $2000 per annum. Ic is i.ot tJipr .hie that the State wiil purchase the hotel, at a cod ot about $30,000, in which event thc building C u tie converted, by the end of the rt-coss, so r.B to torvo for both houses of thc Legislature, the Supremo Court of the State p.nd the Executi.u uiiicos, so that, practically, Nickorson's Hute. ?> ould bocoino the State House. The House, lc-.1, i;. concurred in tho report of the Sonate cori ii-'leo on disabilities adopted by the latter b" ly, recommending thc removal of tho di-Hur.it .i . f Hon. J. C.

Mr. Hoyt, chairman of thc Committee on Railroad*," strong!;, opposed any further post poncment of (be consideration of tbo bill. He urged that it had been before t!ie Senate nearly all of the apechl cession, and considered in ail its phases. Thc company were anxious to got to work on thc road, and, with tho assistance of the State, go on to the completion of their pub? lic spirited enterprise. Wright advocated recommitment for the purpose of consulting tho friends of tliero;id and petting the fullest information, which he as a member of thc committee desired to have. If the road is croinir to pay be desired to see it go through, but at tho same time he did not wish to go it blindly. Mr. Hoyt said he'regretted that the senator (Wright) waa not a member of the committee at thc last session. Swails opposed recommitment and conten? ded that the bill had been thoroughly dis? cussed at thc last session, and he retened them to the Jooroo] ol' that session for evi? dence of the tact. Karney spoke in favor of recommitment, and said he thousrht there were plans and schemes connected with this matter that needed sifting and investigation. Mr. J llson opposed recommitment, and thought the effort to reco .unit was made for tho purpose of staving off and defeating tho bill. He did not think any more light could be brought to bear on the subject. He was just as well prepared to vote then .19 ho would be ac any time, whether thc bill was recommitted or not. Mr. Allen was in favor of recommitting the bill. He wanted a. little more light on the sub? ject. Ho did not think it. very business like to ask a State any more than an individual would bc asked, to let go their first mortgage in order to take a second. Cain said he favored tho bill, but was equally in favor of recommittal. The only question with him was a? to thc practicability ot doing it in the manner proposed in the bill, lt has a bearinrr upon tho interests, the charactor and financial success ot our present State govern? ment. He had been informed by the highest and most competent authority that to pass tho bill in its present shape would greatly embar? rass the credit of the State. The question, after some further discussion, was taken on the motion to recommit and de? cided in the affirmative. The friends of tho bill, I learn, will probably revise it in connection with the committee, when, it is believed, it will pass almost unani? mously. The Board ol' Directors of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad met at Nickerson'u tc-night, and passed a resolution to provide for thc pay? ment ol thc interest due on their bonded debt io January, amouuting to forty thousand dol? lars. Among other arrivals herc this evening are cx-Coveraor Orr, ex-Governor Terry, General Keishaw, General McGowan, General Harllec, Hon. J. P. Reed, IL C., Hon. J. B. Campbell and a large number of members of the Charles? ton Car. The Hon. Franklin J. Moses, Sr., arrived herc to-day and qualified as Chief Justice. Tho Charleston contested election, there? fore, will be heard before a lull Lench. The melancholy accident by the fire this morning, an account of milich has already been sent you, has excited tho liveliest sympa? thy with the afflicted relatives. Young Car? rington was a son of Mr. Carrington, thc high? ly esteemed secretary of tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company. WHAT WM SEED ASB SHOULD DO. 1 he Probable Relations of General Grant and thc South-Au Important Letter. The following letter at this timo will bo read with peculiar interest. Now, as heretofore, wo uphold thc necessity of friendly relations with the freedmen, ol" absolute freedom of pelitical opinion, of grcetiug cordially all honest men who come down to us from the North, and of doing all that wc properly may to win the con? fidence of thc government. We hope Ihat the views and remarks of Mr. Boyce, who is in a position to know of what he speaks, will rc ccivo a calm and careful consideration: WASHINGTON, December 9. Colonel ?/. P. Thomis-DESR SIB : In pur? suance of my promise to you, I propose briefly to give you my impressions as to the political situation. 1 did not sooner comply with your request, because I thought tho time was not propitious. Thc passions engendered by tho Presidential election did not permit a calm consideration of events. The election of General Grant settles much of tho past, and opens a new future to us. General Grant's electiou is the ratification by the people of uni versal suffrage, subject to the Fourteenth constitutional amendment, and es? tablishes the legality of the existiag Slate or? ganizations South, which have grown u ? under the Reconstruction acts of Congress. Such be? ing tho case, I think our people ought to accept these results as accomplished facts. Thc elec? tion of General Grant means yet move. Thc conviction exists North, with tho majority of Hie people, that opinion is not freu South, and that the political action of both whites and blacks is subject to duress, proceeding to the extreme, in some instances, of actual violence and even political assassinations. The election ot General Grant is the protest of the North against this alleged coudttion of I Stirs, and means that all the power of the F?deral Government will be exerted to put it down. It is tho dang sr arising out ot this matter, which strikes me as the most alarm? ing circumstances ot our political lutine. Un? less thin condition cf things is suppressed hy? the voluntary action of the Southon Kates, the most decided measures will, I think, be re? sorted to by the Federal Government to cure thc alleged evil ; and General Graut, as Presi? dent, will, 1 have no doubt, enforce theso mea? sures of repression energetically, with military form. This would naturally produce more revolntion South, and its results might be a series of thc most deplorable consequences. In view ot this state ot things, 1 think it is a matter or thc greatest importance that the Southern States should make the utmost exci? tions to remove all alleged causes of complaint on this subject, and thus anticipate and render unncejBsary tho actiou of the Federal Govern? ment. A? additional inducement to this line of ac? tion on your part, 1 would remark tba what you want above all things, a'. ;hc South, is in? ternal harmony. If you had this you would receive a large "influx of white population and capita!. This would be of incalculable benefit to voa, loth in its influence on your material ??terosts ami as relieving you from tho appre? hensions arising from universal suffrage. Tuc obstac.c to yotir receiving this pjpula tion and capital now, ia the apprehension which exists as to the anarchical condition ol' your society, it is a striking faet that both the ;;rcat political parlies of the country have thought i; tobe their interest to represent Southern society r^s in a condition of chronic insecurity and violence; the Democrats, io or? der to show tho evils ol universal suffrage; and the Republicans, to illustrate thc disloyal sen? timent ot th? peuple, and their consequent un iitiioss for any part in thc control of tue Fede? ral Government. Between these two sots of representations, tho movement of population and cainial to tho South is almost entirely cheeked, lt is your policy to have it believed that order reigns supremo South. Hence you ought to do everything in your powoi lo moko order tho lad, and to promulgate it. You should, I think, keep several ideas prominently in view as your policy: 1. You ought to "regulate the relations be? tween the whites and the blacks, so as to havo as much harmony and gootl feeling as poss.ble he:ween thom. To this end, uolhing is so efficacious as kindness to the blacks. 2. iou uiiyhl to havo perfect tolerance of political opinion. Let e?ery one, white and buck vutc as kc pleaser, and trust to your luci a nd natural influence for a just share of p 'l.lical power. 3. You ought to extend a cordial and a kiud wcicuatj to tho Northern people to settle amo ^ y ru, without regard to their political o, uiini..?. Otico you did this, the troubles of ?ho luuuie would bo largely overcome, and yo.ir ma. .omi progress would bo wonderful, ?ee what immigration is doing for the North? west, m spite of its austero climate. Think what Immigration would do for the genial South. 4. You ought to seek to conciliate the Fede? ral Government. Remember the Scriptute iu junction, "Agree with thine adversary quick? ly." The Federal Government for thc prcsont, and for years to come, means thc Rrpaoiicao party. Do not wage a frantic war against this party. Remember that the Democratic party is not strong enough now to bo of any service to you. Bc calm and conciliatory, "and wait the course nf events. It would be fortunate if you wore in tint independent condition that holli parties North would bid for your support. 5. General Grant will, I think, earnestly de? sire to m die his administration national, and to restore real peace and harmony to the late belligerent sections. A moderate, conserva? tive course on the part of the South will facili? tate his policy in this direction. fi. In conclusion, thc thing you want is peace. To get peace, you most procure it by peaceful means. Let thc Republicans and Democrats North wage a bitter war against each other, if they choose ; your condition calls for moro reserve. Yours, siiicerelv. WILLIAM W. BOYCE. Till: CO LU M HI A FIRE, I _ I We take thc following particulars of the burning of Gregg's Hall in Columbia, with its attendant catastrophe, from thc Phoenix: On Monday morning about two o'clock, fire was discovered in Mr. Olondining's restaurant, on Taylor-street, rear of Greggs Hall, which in a short time commuuica'.ed to thc main buddins, and in a few minutes thc entiro struc? ture was wrapped in flames. Tho fire had ob? tained such headway before the alarm was given, that the firemen were unable to save the lmracnso building; but by almost superhuman exertions, prevented communication with Ma? jor Thomas Davis' spleudid row of houses, ad? jacent-but, mournful to relate, not without a terrible loss of life and limbs. A squad from the Independent Fire Company, assisted by seve? ral citizens., were endeavoring to get a stream i" thc rear ol' the burning building, when tho luth wall of Weam & Hix'a picture gallery fell, completely crushing the life out of two of the men, and severely, if not fatally, injuring seve? ral others. The following is a list of tho casu? alties : Killed-D. A. Carrington, Frazce B. Squicr. Severely wounded-F. B. Beckham, le,'broken and badly cut in head and body; Charles F. Ryan, compound fracture of left leg, and cut and bruised in body; Richard Tozer, right leg dislocated aud severely cut in head and body. Slightly injured-W. K.

The Winnsboro' News chronicles these high? ly gratifying instances of successful planting : The two sons of J. L. Cross well, of St. Mat? thew's Parish, Orangeburg, have ruado thir? teen bales of cotton from sixtcon acres of land, and Mr. Conner, ot the same district, by put? ting eighty bushels ol' cotton seed to tho acre, as well as the stable manure from nine stalls, upon ton acres of land, .nd ploughing it all in broadcast, bas raised seventy-five bushels of com to the acre, besides fodder and peas. Now, tho samo land, wi.'aout manure, would not luve yielded moro tuan six bushels to the acre. It would havo taken over one hundred acres of laud, and four mules, and eight times thc amount of labor, to make thc same crop. Be? sides, these ten acres are improved for one generation at least, and if not au ounce of ad? ditional manure be put upon them, will bear bountifully for a very long series ol' years to come.
