THE MANDAME3 OPINION TO BE PRONOUNCED ON WEDNESDAY-WILLABD AND BOGE BOB PILLS? BURY, AND MOSES FOB CLARK-SOC Til CARO? LINA RAILROAD GETS ONE HUNDRED AND TEN DOLLABS DAMAGES AGAINST TBE COLUMBIA ANO AUGUSTA RAILROAD-SALE OF THE COLUMBIA CANAL-GREAT MANUFACTURING EXTERPBISK OF SENATOR SPRAGUE -COLUMBIA BEAL ES? TATE ALBE ADI DOUBLED TN VALUE-THE RAN? DOLPH MURDERESS. COLUMBIA, January 4.-Tuc announcement of tlie opinion of the Supreme Court in thc Charleston mandamus case baa boen post? poned until Wednesday. It is believed that Justices Willard and H?ge will favor the claim? ants, and Chief Justice Moses the respondents The jury at Eds ofield Courthou SD have ns" sessed tho damages suffered by the Soutii -Car? olina Railroad by the infringement of their right of way by tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad at $110. Tho Columbia Canal, with its extensive wa * ter power anl manufacturing privileges, was sold this morning. The canal is eight thou? sand six hundred and fifty-four y ai-els long, and the average fall for the first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet, at Cpper-strest, in Columbia, and attaining Dine? ttes feet one inch at Bridge-street; tho remain? ing two miles, from ?ridge-3troot to its mouth, commences at nineteon feot ten inches and attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine building sites exist between the canal and river, giviag complete protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. The State will convey the canal, and all its appur? tenances, together with the right of way for one hundred feet on each side of the centre of the canal to tho purchaser. Compensation to the adjacent land owners for the right of way to be made by the purchaser, on the same jnst and equitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to the Greenville and Columbia Eailroad Company by act of December 15,1815. This power has been accurately surveyed by Professor John LeConte, of the South Caroli? na University. He estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as required' by the act, that the power secured to Bridge street will be three hundred and fifty-five horse "power, the average head being fourteen feet; and from Bridge-street to its mouth five hun? dred and thirty-two horse power, with an average head of twonty-ono feet, and a cur? rent of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per second the powers would be seven handred and ten and one thousand and sixty four horse power, and if the machinery is not run at night the po iver may be doubled by ac? cumulating water in the reservoirs. "As the supply of water," says Professor LeConte, "which miy be turned from the river into the canal at its head is almost un? limited, the canal can be enlarged to an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. If desired, it may bo mado to supply water to the extent of five thousand hoi se power o mere. In fact, by very simple ar? rangements? one-third or sue-half, or even more, of the whole water in Broad Elver might be turned into such as enlarged canal." The bid waa made ca last Saturday by Mr. John Heart for aad in behalf of Major S. A. Pearce, for two hundred dellars for the right av advertised, and full guarantees were given ?or carry?; out the conditions imposed rela? tive to improvements. Which are as folioWB: First. The purehaser shall, within two years from tho date of conveyance, complete the widening aad deepening ot said canal to at least twice its original capacity. [Its original capacity .vas fifteen feet wide at the top, eigM feet at bottom, and four feet in depth. To double it, according to Professor LeConle's re? port, it will require the removal of thirty-six thonsaad one hundred and ssvon cabic yards of earth, and thirty-two hundred cubic yards of stone, to Bridge-street; and from Bridge street te its mouth 22,176 cabio yards of earth, but nostone.] That the same shall always be kept open for boating purposes, free of charges, for toll or otherwise, to where it is now used, f Ibis will not interfere at all with the water-powor for driving macbinci y, as boats only descend as far as the first lock, near Up? per-street.] That tho water shall not hz per? mitted to become stagnant, aid that it shall not be used for other thou hydraulic puposos. And that there shall be a reservation to the State of water-power su?fi"ient lor tho purposes of the State Penitentiary, for all time, freo of charge. [This is estimated, at tho maximum, at one hundred horse-power. ] And' upon the further condition that the work of widening and deepening the said canal shall bo com? menced within six mouths, and tho sum of $10,000 shalt bo expended on tho same within twelve mor'hs from tho date of conveyance. It is understood that Senator Spraguo is in? terested, and that he will back up the project with any amount of capit?l necessary for thc erection of manufactories. Beal estate in Co? lumbia has risen one hundred per cent., and very general gratifi?atioB is evinced by tho cit? izens at the prospect before them. The com? missioners this morning accepted the bid of Mr. Heart. Major Pearce and Governor Scott about two weeks ago made heavy investments in proper? ty bordering on the canal. It is anticipated that the murderers of Mar? tin and Randolph will be arrested this evening ? or to-morrow, in Abbevillo District. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS. By a premature explosion at the wreck of thc steamship Scotland, off Sandy Hook, yester? day. Captain W. L. Churchill, lalo of the navy, : and three other?, were blown to atoms.

The message of tho Governor was violently Radical. The North Carolina Legislature failed to ob? tain a qur-um yesterday. The injunction against th? Chatham Railroad Company and the State Treasurer of >torth Carolina* has been dissolved, in order to bring ( the case before the Supreme Court. EUROPE. CONFEDERATES RETURNING HOME-THE CHTNE3E TREATY. LONDON, January 4.-lu view of Prosident Johnson's amnesty proclamation, Jefferson Davis, John Sliclell, Jamos ?J. Mason, A. Dud? ley Mann and other Confederates, aro prepar? ing to return home.

The bill, passed before the recess, authoriz? ing militia in North and South Carolina, Flori? da, Alabama and Louisiana, will bc signed by tho presiding officers of the Sonate and House and sent to tho President to-morrow. L. F. Rolfe, a claim a sent, has beon arrested on thc charge of defiauding the government of $6,700,000 in bonds issued to tue Pacific Railroad-i duting December. Goueial Spinner is quite ill. Wads has received all the electoral votes by mail, though but hali thc messengers have arrived. Messengers failiog to deliver the vote by the first Wednesday in January a.e hablo to a fine of $1000. Wben tho Senate reassembles it ie under? stood that tho President will sen! in the names of nominoes for ovary internal revenue place agaiust whose present occupants charges of corruption havo been made. Ho will pro? bably select good men, without regard to poli? tics, and thereby test thc sense of tho Senate on his desire to break up the fraudulent reve? nue ring>. Mail dispatches from England by tho last steamer, from Reverdy Johnson, declare that he still bas the utmost confidence m the al? most immediate settlement of the Alabama claims negotiations. He is of the opinion that the President will be able to send tho protocol to the Senate for ratification by the middle or the last of January at the farthest, and at thc same time communicate the other treaties re? lating to the question of naturalization and the settlement of the San Juan troubles. GEORGIA. PROPOSED ACTION OF THE LEGISLATURE TO FBE VENT CONOBESSIONAL INTERFERENCE. ATLANTA, January 4.-It is generally under? stood that when the Legislature meets on tho 13th instant, resolutions will bc passed declar? ing that, in its former action, the Legislature was governed by an unbiased construction of the Reconstruction acts and the new constitu? tion of Georgia, and that it was not its purpose to deprive ihc net"^ of any political right he had justly acquired Dy either. The resolutions will further declare a willingness to abido by the decision of the Supreme Court of Georgia or the Supreme Court of tho United States upon the point at issue. SA VANNAJE. THE MILITARY TAKE CHARGE OF THE OGEECHEE AFFAIR-THE TROUBLE PROBABLY OVER. SAVANNAH, January 4.-Tho military have taken charge of the Ogeechee troubles, and the preliminary organization of citizens, to act as a sherill's posse, bas been discontinued. The sheriff will be supported by the military in the execution of warrants. Two Unite J States officers have visited tho scene of tho outbreak, and tboy report that the negroes are rilling to surrender to the military, and that there will uoubtlcss be no further troubb. LATER-Tho trouble on the Ogeechee bas been quieted. The insurgents surrendered themselves to tho authorities last night. Others implicated art expected to come in to? morrow, j The Demise of the Mercury. Tho Columbia correspondent of the New t York Times-who is understood to bo Mr. i James Wood Davidson-writes to that papor : as follows, in regard to the suspension of the j Charleston Mei cur \ : , One of the most significant signs of the <?saes, and iu the main oue ot tho most hope ful. ij iu tue suspension of tho Charleston i Mercury-for many years the exponent ot' tho i extremists in gouch Carolina, By extremists 1 1 mea:t those politicians who persist in appl y- I ing tho obsoleto utandards of a dead past to I the questions of a new and progressive pres- : cnt; those who push roaservaiism toits vicious extrtmc of ?lau'uant dogmatism; those Bour- 1 bons whom no experience can teach. For I many years-twenty or mure, I believe-this 1 organ of a now past regime has held sway in < this State, aud wielded a largo influence i throughout the South. During the war it ] still survived, was still sustained, fighting < though it always was over some past issue, i Since tho war it raised tho same standard, and i waved it persistently, but with diminishing < power, for its cause was dying out gradually, I and its day was dying out. New thoughts 1 possessed our people, aud new issues aiose; I but this Nestor of an aute-penalt generation < still spoke with enthusiasm of traditions that < had well-nigh passed from the memories of to- ? day-this dying Sir .Tobo still '-babbled of l green fields." Tho significance of this sus- < pension of the Mercury is that its causo lies in i the moribund condition in which its party : new is. Tho hopefulness of the occurrence 1 hes in tho assurance that this death of effete < conservatism means life to th > incoming party I of progress and action, Our Southern people ' are going to work-are throwing to the doge < the theories of tho Bourbons who have ruled I public opinion for so many years with such an iron hand. There may bo danger in this new ; tendency, but I am iecordiug iacts, not do- ? monstrating truths. THE RIVAL ROUTES.-The Mobile Register, j in its jealousy of om- city, makes the following i comparison between tho Mobile aud Charlea- ' lon routes to Liverpool for cotton from SJIIU I : j Freight from Selma to Charleston $5 GO per | bale, while to Mobile it is only 50 cents. Iusurances by rail to Charleston jc, and to i Mobile by river the aamc. Pi-eight fruin Mobilo to Liverpool by atcam Jd, an'4 by sail 9-16:1. I From Charleston ld. by steam, an 111-lGd by . Bail. Shipments by steam irom Charleston must go via New York. i To which tho Selma Times makes prompt reply ai follows: i The Register has beou misi nfermcd. < There is no insurance by rail from Selma to Charleston. i Freight from Charleston to Liverpool ?3, by 1 sail 7-10, by steam 11-16, not ld. * ? Shipments by steam from Charleston to < Liverpool do not have to go via New York, but i Io go direct. ? Moreover, the Rogistcr omits to mention tho ? charges ut Mobile, which, including iusuranco i there, amouut to 65 couts a bale, while there | aro no similar charges at Charleston. And, lurther, tho iroight to Charleston on a | 500 pound bale ia over estimated 50 cents. 1 Nor does tho Register refer to the difference j in time, a matter of very considerable impar- ? tance in favor of Charleston. i Tho average time v,a Charleston tc New ; ?ork is put down by Messrs.

Tho following table, takon from the New York Journal of Commerce, ehowa the compara? tive prices of provisions and Southern produce in New York upon tho 1st of January in each of tho last twolvo years. Tho fabio will be found very valuable for reference, and very suggestive, SB it shews what advance upon the old prices the South is now receiving for her produoa as a set off against any diminution of total crops and tho increased cost of tho necessaries of life. 1853. 1859. i 1860. 1861. 18G2 I mi. 18ti. 18G5. 38 1 30 7 m 4 25 100 3 25 120 COTTO> - Mid. upland, lb Mid.

C., Jauuary 1 Newberry is, aud has been for years, tbe most thriving of all tho up-country towDS of South Carolina. Truo, it has not yet regained its former prosperity, but from what I bave Been and heard during my visit, it is my belief that in tho onward race, in which all oui* midland and up-country towns and villages are at pros? ea t engaged, Newberry bids fair to carry off thc cup. Her population is about 1000 now, perhaps fifty per cent, less than it was ten years ago. The population of the district (ROW couml ? ) according to tbe Cotisas of I860, was 20,879, of which number 13,695 were slaves. T*o number of acres of im? proved farm lands then was 145,000, and of unimproved 220.000 acres; the cash value of which, according to tho same authority, was $5.423,000, giving a larger average than we find in most of the other districts. The amount of cotton raised io Newberry is laid down in the census ol 18G0 os 17,17f : I have no data at command by which I ci; aid arrive at eren a proximit? calculation of the number of bales grown in the county at present. The mer? chants tell me that before tho war Newborry Courthouse shipped from 15,000 to 20,000 bales. Lust year the amount was probably 15,000,.and this year it may not reach over 12.600. There is, howover, much mor * money in the district this year than there was laut. Some say the people thereabout have moro money now than ever beforo. The cot? ton crop last year was sold in those parts at an average of about twelve and a half cents. This year it has averaged about twenty cents thus far. The cotton sold in this market is hauled sometimos many miles-forty and upward trom Newbeiry," Lexington, EdgcficJd, Abbe? ville, Laurens and Union Counties, and this in Bpite of cotton buyers and railroad linos and depots much nearer home. Thc Newberry people plume themselves not a little on this tact. A notablo feature to mo was tho fact I learned, that but few planters about here ship cotton to bo sold in Charleston. They prefer to sell nearer home. Another fact, by no means pleasing to your correspondent, is that the greater number of tbe merchants (colton buy? ers) ship to B.ltimore and Now York, via Charleston, alleging that they find they can do much better theietliau in Charleston, and ttiat tl.ose who had shipped to Charleston this rear had done so to their son ow. Aud right hero allow me to stale, if you please, that if in tho courso of t?iis Bonus ol' ?ottera I shall oceanic:: illy triv : utterance to ['acts or rum irs unpaintable to one or another jf your readers, I hold mvaclf justified iu that it is my desire to lay before tho public, and more especially before your Cb ai leaton read 3ra, thc views" of their fellow-ctizoua of the uterior. If these views arc crroneeus or, as nay bo, fournie.1 on prejudice, those interest ?d will have an epportuuity of defending tho air fame of our good old city, and correct :hose false iapresaions. Now, ;n regard to ;he opinion just expressed, that thc markets )f Baltimore and New York aro better Utan Charleston, it may be that a lair trial was not trivon our city; that these merchants o?ly shipped to Charleston during the early part jf tho season, and mooting with disappoint? ment in their expectations, and listening with i favorable ear to the insinuating promises of Baltimore and New York drummers, they maliced to change their market and their fac? tors at tho very time cotton was tending up? ward. Difference ot classification nny also uve something to do with this supposed dif? iere nee in favor of un re northern marketa. However, as I am a novice in this business, I mall leave further explanations to you, Messrs. Editors, and the cotton experts in your city. Tho streets and the public squire of Mew berry wa? crow J od with wagona of every de? scription, on tho day 1 was there, all bringing ni cotton, fur this appears to bo tho only aicr ma.itablo product of these paris. Ot course, ivhe:i so much money changea banda, a largo part of tho amount tinda its way to tho shop? keepers, who, this year, have done a thriving trade. The leading firms ?i Newberry Courthouse ire as follows: Carwne w JdcCaaghrin, Mays A Marlin, W. H. Webb, S. P. lioozsr, Lovelace Sc Wheeler, Charles Bu:st, D. Mower, A, Single? ton, W. F. Nance, Dra. Pratt & Faut, Dr. lames McIntosh (the last two arc drug stores), R. A. Chapman (bookstore), Wngus & Cop Jick,**M. Foot. A. Harris, Gary & Duncan, Wakeman & Wilber, A. Wicker, Johnson & Naneo (bankers), mid G. '1. Scott (banker). in addition to these, there are a number ol muller dealers. The hotel ia kept hy Mr. J. P. Boole. There iro also several private boarding houses. Tho lalo Chancellor Johsstoa resided hero, und iboul two miles from Newberry was the reai leuce of the late Chief Justice J. B. O'Neal, ?vho by bia public spirit and unwearied ZJHI, ind his splendid example of public and private virtue, contributed moro perhaps than any man of his day to tho advancement and pros? perity of that section of onr State. Newberry can scarcely bc considered a pret? ty place, either in site or in the character ot its ouildinas. It is, however, thrifty and bids bit to improve rapidly. Heveral new buildings ire new being erected. Xb-^e is no Jess than six churches nero, to wit: Methodist, Baptist, Lutheraa, Episcopalian, Presbyterian and 4 se? ceder.:' . The Lutherans a few years ago erected a large aud very handsome building, known aa 'Newberry College," which, however, fur toinc reason or reasons to your correspondent un known, has net met with success, and the in I stituiion was accordingly removed a low I mouths ago to Walhulla. Tho building, a I prominent landmark to the phasing traveller, I is now abandoned, andi understand, tailing a t prey to the ravages of the elements. Ia fer? mer times tho Lutheiau Synod hada Theologi? cal Seminary in Lexington, which, I believo, upcn the completion of tho Newberry College building, waa removed and united With that institution. I am unablo to say whether or not this seminary is still in existence, but in? cline to the opinion that it is not. I must not forget, among tho institutions of tho town, to make honorable mention of "Tho Newberry Herald," conducted by the brothers Crennekor, originally of Charleston. Tho Herald is one of tho best papers published in tho interior of our State, and has uniformly pursued a consistent and dignified course. Mi. y its shadow never grow less. On my way from Columbia to Newberry I be? came acquainted with Rev. Mr. Steiner, a Lu? theran clergyman from Newark, N. J., who had come on an exploring tour; b> spy oat, aa >t were, the richness of the land. His objeat was to ind one or more suitable localities for Gorman colonization. Ho had come to New? berry, if I mistake net, at the suggestion of Bov. Mr. Neumann, missionary to the Gorman immigrants in New York harbor. It is the de? sign of Mr. N., and, I suppose, of the Church or Missioa&ry ?Society in connection with whick he prosecutes his labors, to plant colonies of German immigrants at different points in the South. Mr. Steiner is to bring a num? ber of such te this State and to settle here with them. In order to speak with confidence of the country to which he would have to in? vite his compatriots to Hettie, he deemed it uecessary to come here and soo for himself. Bo bad been directed to go first to Itev. Mr. Boine8t, nearPomaria, sixteen miloB south of Newberry Courthouse, whet o there is already thomucleus of a Germ .ni colony, and if ho found climate, soil and tho price of land favorable, that neighborhood was to be preferred; if oth? erwise, he was to proceed to Abbovillo County, where great inducements had been offered to German emigrants by Mr. Calhoun, who has a large body ol very fine lands near Savannah River. I have not heard of tho result of Mr. Steiner'J observations, but hope they wdl bo tho means ot. bringing here a large number of indus triona German yeomen. Mr. S. told me that once the plan is fairly in operation it is the intention of his society to send agents to Germany, and there pick their emigrants and bring them here direct to their colonies, without, exposing them to tho temptations and contamination of Now York or othor large cities. This part of the State, Lexington and New? berry, as also Orangeburg, was ongiually set? tled by Germans, before and soon after the Revolutionary War. They were industrious, thrifty and of course prosperous; and there is no reason why Germans, Swedes aud Danes should not cuuac herc and moot with similar ur even greater success. BIRD'S EYE.

Discussc.i the negro quostion en rouie, and admired thc aristueratic ?l?gance with which the freedmen supported the pillara and corners of the depots right and left, indulging in chat dolccfar nicui.fi which is so equally grato lul to Ethiopian and italian patriots and loyal? ists. Contemplated, with anxious interest and doubtful satisfaction, the picturesque aspect uf decayod fences and abandoned fields; marr? ed in their wildness by an occasional patch of what might have been momt for coru, but waa l hardly cornstalk; noted ono disconsolate j pumpkin near a cabin, over which a lean hug n as making a lung jaw; saw a rooster straining 1 bia throat in an unavailing effort to crow, and i studied the humanities ai tho interesting group, formed hy a miserable matinm, rather i scant of skirt, who, with two little woolly heads in her lap, was amusing herself in the sunshine bv looking busily after that affection? ate little beast belonging to a family quite as ancient as the days of Homer, of which Parson Evans says ("Merry Wives of Windsor"): "It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies 'love 1' " This group arpaos the great increase which has been mad i among ns under tuition of the wise men of the East, in human civiliza? tion. Public meetings of the citizens, black and wbite, seemed to be held at all the depots, none of which, however, appeared to contemplate cither work or prayer. A large proportion of them, nevertheless, from, their general aspect, appeared to have .adopted tho motto of thc hawk, " Watch and Prey." Their eyes were keen, their jaws were leaD, their aspects jaunt, their twowserB scant, and every mother's sou was armed with a three dollar gun I Ah ! verily, my dear NEWS, but for tho moral of tho scene, it was a sort of Chinese joke, that spectacle, naned after the famous wit at the Court of Pekin, Meen Pliun! At Branchville encountered threo genuine philanthropists, fresh from the Ease, each munching a gunger, and carrying a cotton um? brella and India rubber carpet bag. 'Tho um? brella was old, tho carpot-bag was empty. They bad just arrived, and were asking what offices were still vacant. They had letters to the promurent members of "our" Legislature, and were on their way to Columbia. Got to Little Bugaboo by twelve o'clock M., and found my venerable friend, Wheelbarrow, awaiting me, with his two sons to do the rolling, taking it turn and turn about. An hour's ride in this leaiocratic vohiclo brought us to "Bugaboo Lodge," still in ruins as when Sherman left it, but with certain nooks, corners, closets and crevices, into whieh a lean body might shelter in a cold winter's night. But the welcome, my lear MEWS, that was warm as soul and body could wish it, and that was everything. That very afternoon went ont with the boys, ind thanks to Dapont's gunpowder and Ta? t?a nis & Brother's drop shot, bagged eighteen partridges, B?X squirrels, a single woodcock, ind a pair of acorn ducks. Had supper at lark, and then out again on a coon and poa )um hunt. Caught the brother of the very :oon that came down to Captain Scott. Ho made a glorious fight with tue dogs-tearing md biting aad scratching, and never "holler? ing miff " till his throat was cut hy old Grim, die famoucest coon dog of ell Bugaboo pre? cinct. Bagged after this a fat possum, whick are had ?oxt day a roast for dinner, and, you [mow what Cuffie Bays, "Possum better than pig." Possum, well dressed, is for an alder? man of proper corporate dimensions far supe? rior to any pie. The eoon was dressed accord? ing to army fashion, and a most delicious roast was he. It is one of the few benefits result? ing from our late war that it taught our sold? iers to be cooks. Even colonels and officers of b i ph cr rank became emulous of the fame of Brill?t Savarin. They found out the Tirtnos in frogs, they discovered the beauties im cray? fish, an alligator's tail never suffered escape from the cuisinier, and it was found, arter very few trials, that the blacksnake, or even the moccasin, minus the head, was as grateful to the palate as eel or oyster. N iw the boys it Little Bugaboo had both been in the war, on the coast, in tko woods at. North Carolina and Virginia, and know how to dress a pine burr so that yon would suppose it au artichoke. They dressed for us our coon, and I beg to com? mend it to th J Aldermen of Charleston, provid? ed they can get the secret of its dressing, It strikes me that the City Council might make an office of Grand Uuitinier, one who' shall prepare all grand State and city dinners, to whom thor? should be allotted a salary of at least $5000 a year. A great ccok must necessarily he a great gonius, provided ho eau make a crayfish beat a shrimp stew, an alliga? tor's tail provo superior to that of a mutton; a chicken, or black, or moccasin snake be more delicate and appetizing than an eel; a squirrel superior to a spring chicken, and a frog wor? thy of a French confrere's dinner. Weil, well, after threo days' delight at the sports of Little Bugaboo, I have returned to the drudgeries of trade and tho city. Bnt I have brought home to my wife and disconsolate little ones wild ducks, squirrels, partridges, doves, woodcocks and noe-fad froga-. I shall give ?-diQBer to? morrow, my dear NEWS, and, if yon please, you Bhall bs one of tho party. Jlarric?. WINTER-.LOYER.-At Ravener, on Tuesday, Decembnr 31, by tba Rev. W. 8. KowfcUV, t>. A.
