TATE ALBE AD Y DOUBLED IN VALUE-THE BAN DOLPH MUBDEBEBS. COLUMBIA, January i.-The announcement ! of tue opinion of tho Supreme Court iu tho Charleston mandamus case ha3 been post? poned until Wednesday. It is bcliovod that Justices Willard and H?ge will favor the claim? ants, and Chief Justioo Moses the respondents? The jury at Edgefleld Courthouse have as? sessed tho damages suffered by the Soufcb Car? olina Railroad by tho infringement of their right of way by tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad at $110. The Columbia Canal, with ita oxtonsivo wa? ter power anl manufacturing privileges, was sold this morning. The canal is eight thou? sand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and tho average fall for the first threo miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet, at Upper-street, in Columbia, and attaining nine? teen feet ene inch at Biidge-street; the remain? ing two miles, from Bridge-street to its mouth, commences at niueteon feet ten inches and attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine building siteB exist between the canal and river, giving completo protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. Tho State will oonvey the canal, and all its appur? tenances, together with the right of way for one hundred feet on eaoh side of tho centre of the canal to the purchaser. Compensation to the adjasent land owners for the right of way to be made by the purchaser, on the same just and equitable terms'that the right of way was oonveyed to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company by act of December 15, 1845. This power has been accurately surveyed by Professor John LeConte, of the Bouth Caroli? na University. He estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as required by tho act, that the power secured to Bridge street will bo three hundred and fifty-five horse power, the average head being fourteen feet; and from Bridge-street to its month five hun? dred and thirty-two horse power, with an average head of twenty-one feet, and a cur? rent of ono foot per second. With a current of two feet por second the powers would be seven hundred and ten and one thousand and sixty four horse power, and if the machinery is not run at night the power may be doubled by ac? cumulating water in the reservoirs. "As flhe supply of water," says Professor LoCouto, "which m\y 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 ??wof.- If desired, it may pe made to supply power or mere. In tact, by very simple ar? rangements, one-third or ene-half, or even more, of the whole water in Broad River might be turned into such an enlarged canal." The bid was made ea last Saturday by Mr. John Heart for and in behalf of Major 8. A. Pearce, for two hundred dellars for the right as advertised,, and full guarantees were given tor carrying out the oonditiens imposed rela? tive to improvements. Which ore as follows: F?rst. The purchaser shall, within two years from the date of conveyance, complete the widening and deepening ef said canal to at least twice its original capacity. [Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at the top, eight feet at bottom, and four feet in depth. To -double it, according to Professor LeConte'a re? port, it will require the removal of thirty-six thousand ene hundred and seven cabio yards of earth, and thirty-two hundred cubic yards of stone, to Bridgo-street; and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,176* oubie yards of earth, but no stone.] 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 i ii i s will not interfere at all with the water-power for driving machinery, as boats only descend as far as the first lock, near- Up? per-street.] That the water shall not be per? mitted to become staguant, and that it shall not be used for other than bydraulio puposes. And that there shall be a reservation bo the State of water-power sufficient for the purposes of the State Penitentiary, for all time, free of charge. [This is estimated, at tho maximum, at one hundred borso-power.] And upon tho further condition that the work of widening and deepening the said canal shall be com? menced within six mouths, and tho sum of $10,000 shall bo expended on tho same within twelve months from the date of conveyance. It ie understood that Senator Spraguo is in? terested, and that he will back up the project with any amount of capital necessary for tho erection of manufactories. Real estate in Co? lumbia has risen one hundred per cent., and very general gratification is evinced by the 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 age made heavy investments in proper? ty bordering on the canal. It ia anticipated that the murderers of Mar? tin and Randolph will be arrested this evening or to-morrow, hi Abbeville District. CONDENSED TELEGRAMS.

THE MILITARY TAKE CHARGE OF THE OG EEC KEE AFFAIR-THE TROUBLE PROBABLY OVER. SAVANNAH, January 4.-The military have taken obarga of the Ogeeohee troubles, and the preliminary organization of citizens, to act as a sherill's posse, has been discontinued. The sheriff will be supported by the military in the execution of warrants. Two Unite 1 States officers have visited the scene of the outbreak, and they report that the negroes are willing to surrender to the military, and that there will doubtless be no further troubla. LATER.-Tho trouble on the Ogeeohee has been quieted. The insurgents surrendered themselves to tho authorities last night. Others implicated are expected to come in to? morrow. The Demise of the Mercury. The Columbia correspondent of the New York Times-who is understood to be Mr. James Wood Davidson-writes ta that paper as fellows, in regard to tho suspension of the Charleston Mercury: One of the most significant signs of the times, and in the main one of the most hope? ful, is in thc suspension of the Charleston Mercury-for many ybars the exponent.of tho extremists in South Carolina. By extremists 1 mean those politicians who persist in apply? ing the obsolete standards of a dead past to the questions of a new and progressive pres? ent; those who push conservatism to its vicious extrt-me of stagnant dogmatism; those Bour? bons whom no experience can ' teach. For ? many years--twenty or moro, I believe-this ! organ of a now past regime bas held sway in this State, and wielded R large influence throughout the South. During the war it still survived, was still sustained, fighting though it always was over some past issue. Since tho war it raised the same standard, and waved it persistently, but with diminishing power, for its "cause wis dying out gradually, and its day was dying out. New thoughts ?ossessed our people, and new iosues atoae; ut this Nestor of an ante-penult generation still spoke with enthusiasm of traditions that had well-nigh passed from the memories of to? day-this dying Sir John still "babbled of green fields." The significance of this sus {tension of the Mercury is that its cause lies in he moribund condition in whioh its party now is. The hopefulness of the occurrence lies in the assurance that this death of effete conservatism means life to the incoming party ot progress and action. Our Southern people are going to work-are throwing to the dogs the theories of the Bourbons who have ruled public opinion for so many years with such an iron hand. Thero may bo danger in this new tendenoy, but I am recording facts, not de? monstrating truths. Tins RIVAL ROUTES.-The Mobile Register, in its jealousy of our eity, makes the following comparison between the Mobile and Charles? ton routes to Liverpool for cotton from S jim t : Freight frem Selma to Charleston $5 50 per bale, while to Mobile it is only 50 cents. insurances by rail to Charleston jo, and to Mobile by river the same; Freight from Mobile to Liverpool by steam ?d, and by sail 9-16,1. From Charleston ld. by steam, and ll-16d by sail. Shipments by steam from Charleston must go via New York. To whioh the Selma Times makes prompt reply ai follows: The Register has been misi nfermed. There is no insurance by rzll fros: Sold- to Charleston. Freight from Charleston to Liverpool is, by sail 7-16, by steam 11-16, not ld. Shipments by steam from Charleston to Liverpool do not have to ge via New York, but do go direct. Moreover, tho Register omits to mention the charges at Mobile, which, including insurance there, amount to 65 cents e. bale, while there are no similar charges at Charleston. And, further, the freight to Charlea ton on rn, 500 pound hale ia over estimated 50 cents. Nor does the Register refer to tho difference in time, a matter of very considerable impor? tance in favor or Charleston. The average time via Charleston to New York is put down by Messrs. J. C.

Tho table will be found very valuable for roferonoo, aud very suggestive, as it shows what advance upon the old prices the South is now receiving for her produce as a set off against any diminution of total orops and the inor eased cost of tho necessaries of life.

Migrants--A German Colony, deo., &?. [FBOM OUR OWN CO?BESPONBENT.J NBWBEBBY COUBTUOUSE, S. C., January 1. Newberry is, and has been for years, the most thriving of all the up-country towns or South Carolina. True, it has not yet regained its former prosperity, but from what I have seen, and heard during my visit, it is my belief that ia tbe onward race, in which all our midland and up-country towna and villages are at pres? ent engaged, Newberry bids fair to carry off the cup. Her population is about 1000 now, "p??i??psHtt?ly per cOnf lews thar?- it woe W years ago. The population of the district (now count-.) according to the census of 1860, was 20,879, of whioh number 13,895 were slaves. Tue 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 tbe same authority, was $5,423,000, giving a larger average than we find in most of the other districts., The amount of cotton raised ia Newberry is laid down in the census of 1860 as 17,476 bales. I haye no data at command hy which I oould arrive at even a proximate calculation of the number of bales grown in the county at present. The mer? chants toll me that before the war Newberry Cour I house shipped from 15,000 to 20,000 bales. LaBt year the amount was probably 15,000, and this year it may not reach over 12 000. There is, however, much more money in the district this year, than there was last. Some say the people.thereabout have mere money new than.ever before, The cot? ton crop last year was sold m 'these parts at an average of about twelve and a half oents. This year it has averaged about twenty oents thus far. The cotton sold in this market is hauled sometimes many miles-forty and upward from Newberry, Lexington, Edgefield, Abbe? ville, Laurens and Union Counties, aud this in spite of cotton buyers and railroad linos and depots much nearer home. The Newberry people plume themselves not a little on this fact. A notable feature to me was the 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 moans pleasing to your correspondent, is that the greater number ot the merchants (cotton buy? ers) ship to Baltimore and New York, ?MI Charleston, alleging that they'find they oaa do much better there than in Charleston, and that those who had shipped to Charleston this year had done so to ?heir sorrow. And right here allow me to state, if you please, that if in the course of this series of letter* I shall occasionally (rive utterance to facts or rumor?'unpalatable to one or another of yonr readers, I hold myself justified in that it is my dosU'O to lay before the public, and moro especially before your Charleston read? ers, tho views of their feilow-oitizens of tko interior. If those views are erroneous or, as may be, founded on prejudice, these interest? ed will have an opportunity of defending tho fair fame of our good old oity, and correct those false impressions. Now. in regard to the opinion just expressed, that the markets of Baltimore and New York are better than Charleston, it may be that a fair trial was not given our oity; ?bat these merchants only shipped to Charleston during the early part of the season, and meeting with disappoint? ment ia their expectations, and listening with a favorable ear to the insinuating promises of Baltimore and New York drummers, they chanced to change tbeir market and their fac? tors at the very time cotton was tending up? ward. Difi?renos of classification may also have something to do with this supposed dif? ference in favor of m ire northern markets. However, as I awi a nevioe ia this business, I sball leave further explanations to you, Messrs. Editors, and the cotton experts in your oity. The streets and tho public square of New? berry was orowded with wagons of every de? scription, on the day I wa* there, all bringing in cotton, for this appears to be tbe Only mer? chantable produot of those parts. Of course, when so much money changes' hands, a large Eart of the amount finds its way to the shop copora, who, tliia year, have donc a thriving trade. The leading firms of Newberry Courthouse are as follows; Oarwile ic McCaughrin, May* ic Martin, W. H. Webb. 8. P. Boozer, Lovelace & Wheeler, Charles Buist, D. Mower. A. Single? ton, W. Ft Nance, Drs. Pratt if Fant, Dr. Jamete McIntosh (the last two are drug stores), R. A. Chapman (bookstoro), Wright Sc Cop pick, M. Foot, A. Harris, Gary & Duncan, Wakeman So Wilber, A? Wicker, Johnson Sc Nanoo (bankers), and G. X. Scott (banker). In addition to these, there are a number ot smaller dealers. The hotel is kept by Mr. J. P. Boole. There are also several private boarding houses. Tue lat? Chancellor Johnston resided here, and about twcsailca from Newberry was tb* rfgi dence of the late Chief Justice J. B. O'Neal, who by bis public spirit and unwearied neal, and his splendid example of public and private virtue, contributed more perhaps than any man of bis day to the advancement and pros? perity of that section of oar State. Newberry can scarcely be considered a pret? ty place, either fn ?Its or in the character of tit) buildings. It is, however, thrifty and bids fair to improve rapidly. Several new buildings aro now being ereefced. There ls no les* thin six churches bore, to wit: Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Presbyterian and "Se? ceder." Th? Lutherans a few year? ago erected s large *M?d vary hn?d*oitei bu:?di?g, ???,?,?? ??, "Newberry Collegs," whioh, however, for soffi? reason or reasons, to your correspondent un? known, has not met with success, and the in? stitution waa accordingly removed a few months aga to Walhalla.: The building, a prominent landmark to tb? pissing traveller, is now abandoned, and I -underatarrd, falling a prey to the ravages of the. elements. Ia for? mer times the Lutheran Synod had a. Theologi? cal Seminary in Lexington* which, I believe, upon the completion of thc .Newberry College building, was removed ana united with that institution. I am unable, to say whether or net this seminary is still iii cxisteuftc, bat in? cline to th* opinion that ia is not. 1 moat not forget, among the institutions ef the town, to .make honorttK* monition of "Tho Newberry Herald," oondM-.'d by the broibora Grennekor, originally of i&, Charleston. Tho Herald is one af th? beet- papers published in tlee interior of our State, and bas uniformly lurauad a consistent af?,dignified oourae.? ?wii acquainted with Rev. Mr. Steiner, a Lu? theran clergyman from Newark, N. J., who had come on an exploring tear; to spy oat. as H were, the richness of the bind. His object was to And one or more suitable localities for German colonization. He had oana* to Mew berry, if I mistake net, at the auf gestion of Kev. Afr. Neumann, missionary to One S orman . immigrants in New York harbor. It is tko de? sign of Mr. N., and, I suppose, of the Church ar Missionary t?ociety ia connection with which he prosecutes his labors, to plant colonie/ of Goman immigrants at different pointe in the South. Mr. Steiner is to bring a num? ber of such ta this State and to settle here with them. In order to speak with confidence ef the country to which he would have to in? vito his compatriota to settle, he deemed it necessary to come here and seo for himself. He bad been directed to go first to Bev. Mr. Boineet, near Pom ari a, sixteen miles south of { Newberry Courthouse, where there is already tho nucleus of a German colony, and if he found climate, soil and the price of land favorable, that neighborhood was to be preferred; if oth? erwise, he was to proceed to Abbeville County, whore great inducements had been offered to German emigrants by Mr. Calhoun, who has a large body ol very fine lands near Savannah Ri vor. I have not heard of the result of Mr. Steiner'J observations, but hope they will be the means of bringing here a large number of industrious German yeomen. Mr. S. told me that oace the Elan is fairly in operation it is the intention of is society te send agents to Germany, and there pick their emigrants and +>riug them here direct to their colonies, without exposing them to tho temptations ana contamination of New York or other large cit) os. This part of tho State, Lexington and New? berry, as also Orangoburg, was originally set? tled by Germans, before and soon after the Revolutionary War. They were industrious, thrifty and of com ae prosperous; and there is no reason why Gormans, Swedas and Danes should not come here and mest with similar or evea greater success.

Found thc road ia smooth, flue travelling or? der; tho officers, as usu d, courteous anet at? tentive, and a goodly collection of acquaint? ances among the passengers, Disonase i the negro question en rout*, and admired the aristocratie? elegance with which So freedmen supported the pillara and corners the depots right and left, indulging in that dote far nietue whioh lo-ao equally grate? ful to Ethiopian and Italian patriota and loyal? ists.. Contemplated, with anxious interest and doubtful satisfaction, the picturesque aspect ot decayed fences and abandoned fields; marr? ad ut their wildness by an occasional patch of what might have boon meant for oom, but was hardly oorasulk; noted ono disconsolate pumnkla near a oabia, over which a loan hog ?as making a long Jaw: saw a rooster straining his throat In an. unavailing eftnrt to erT?, .*? studied the humanities at the interesting group, formed by a miaofablo moama, rather scant of Bkirt, who, with two little woolly hca-cls in har lap, was amusing herself in the sunshine by looking busily after that affection? ate little boast belonging to a family quite as ancient as the days of Homer, of which Parson Evans eays ("Morry Wives of Windsor"): "I(> is a Familiar beast io man, and signifies 'love 1' " This group argues tho great inoreaso whioh has beon madd among us undor tuition of the wise men of the East, in human civiliza? tion. Public mootingB of tho citizens, black and whito, seemed to be hold at all the depots, none of which, however, appoared to contemplate either work or prayer. A largo proportion of them, nevertheless, from their general aspect, appeared to havo adopted tho motto of the hawk, '* Watch and Prey." Their eyes were keen, their jaws wero lean, their aspects jaunt, their twowsors scant, and every mother's BOU waa armed with a throe dollar gun 1 Ahl verily, my dear NEWS, but for tho moral of the scene, it was a sort of Chinese joke, that si?ectaclo, named after tho famous wit at the Court of Pekin, ?leen Phxin ! Afc (Branchville encountered three genuine philanthropists, fresh from tho East, each munching a gunger, and carrying a cotton um? brella and India nioner" carlet bag. The um? brella was old, tho carpet-bag was empty. They had just arrived, and were asking what oflicos wore still vacant. They had letters to the prominent meinbors of "our" legislature, and -were on their way to Columbia. ? Got to Little Bugaboo hy twelve o'cleok M., and found my venerable friend, Wheelbarrow, awaiting mo, with his two sons to do th? rolling, taking it turn and turn about. An hour's ride iu this democratic vehicle brought us to "Bugaboo Lodge," still in rains as whoa Sherman left it, but with certain nooks, oorners, closets and crevices, into whieh a lean body might shelter in a cold winter's night. But the welcome, my dear NEWS, that was worm as soul and body could wish it, and that was everything. That very afternoon wont out with the boya, and thanks to Dupont's gunpowder and Ta? thams & Brother's aron shot, bagged o ig h too a partridges, six squirrels, a singlo woodcoek, and a pair of acorn ducks. Bad supper at dara, and then out again on a coon and pos? sum hunt. Caught the brother of the very coon that came down te Captain Scott. Ha made a glorious fight with tue degs-tearing and biting and scratching, and never "hallor ing nuff " till his threat was out by old Grisa, tha famouceat coon dog of all Bugaboo pre? cinct. Bagged after this a fat possum, which we had next day a roast for dinner, and, yen knew what Guff?? says, "Possum better than pig." Possum, well dressed, is for an alder? man of proper corporate dimensions far supe? rior to any pig. The coon was dressed accord? ing to arni v fashion, and a most delicious roast was be. 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 offleers of higher rank became emulous of the fame of Brill?t Savarin. They found out the virtues in frogs, they discovered the beauties im cray? fish, an alligator's tail never eufifered escape from the puisinier, and it was found, arter very few trials, thal the blacksnake, or even the moccasin, minus the head, was as grateful to the palate as eel or oyster. N > w the boys at Little Bugaboo had both been in the war, on tbs ceast, in the woods at North Carolina and Virginia, and knew how to dress a pine burr BO that you would suppose it an artichoke. They dressed for us our coon, and I beg to com? mend it to the Aldermen ot Charleston, provid? ed they can get the secret of its dressing. It strikes me that the City Council might moke an office of Grand Cuisinier, ooo who shall prepare all grand State and oity dinners, to whom there should be allotted a salary of ai least $5000 a year. A great c.;ok must necessarily be a great genius, provided he can make a crayfish beat a Shrimp - stew, an alliga? tor's tail prove superior to that of a mutton; a chic'.on, 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 Erenoh confrere's dinner. Well, well, after three days' delight at the sports of Little Bugaboo. I have returned to the drudgeries of trade aud-the city. But I havo brought home to ?y wife and disconsolate little enes wild ducks, squirrels, partridges, doves, woodcocks and rice-fed frog?. I shall give a dinner to morrpw, my dear NEWS, and., if you please, y eu shall bs one of the party. ?Patrick WIHTER-?L?V?itt-At Ravenel. ba Tuesday, December M, by tho ?av. W. 8. BOWXAX, 0. A.

Even those who have boen favored by nature with strong constitutions and vigorous frames are apt to neglect the precautions necessary to preserve these precious endowments. Indeed, as a rule, the more healthy and robust a m in is, the more liberties he is iaoliaed to take with his eva physique. It is somn consolation to the naturally weak and feeble to know that tbey can be se invigorated and built up, by a proper use of the raeann which science has placed at their disposal, as te have a muoh better ch ?nee of long life and exemptions from disease and pain, than the most athletic of their follows who are foolish enough to supposa themselves invulnerable, and act accord? ingly. It is net too much to say that more than half the people of the civilized world need am occasional tonic, to enable them to support the strain upon their bodies and minds, which the fast life of this restless age occasions.
