OoLTjMBiA, May 22.-Tho grand event of tbe past week was the township elections on Sat? urday, tor the offices of selectmen, town clerk, surveyor and countable Theso aro the elec? tions about which there was something to say Bevetal wecke ago-tho clcotions that, the neoro party attempted to puah through without eufli oiont notioo on tho 27th of April; no explana? tion of whiob triokery has yet boon vouchsafed by tho chairman of thc Board of Electors, al? though ho claims to be a friend of ordor, do oonoy and comp?tent offioere. The elections came off regularly on .Saturday, lt was the grand rally of tho negro party. Having lost the municipal elections., they were well-nigh desperate; and upon this issue raked up every soultle-cuff and Pompey within drag distance of Columbia. The township contains an area of six milos square, embracing the city; and thia suburban tract is quite sufficient for the purposes of thia unscrupulous party to vote half tbe county ol ignorant noorroes if ne? cessary. The day passed off in corar, av at ive quiet-a fight or two, with numerous bad words, being all tho broaches of tho peace. There waa dead earnest on the part of thoa \ engaged in it. The negroes had organized and arranged their tactics ia Union League, and were fully ready. The whites were loss ready, and some aro known who did not vote, forgetting it or neglecting it. The managers were busy fr im early night-the polls closed at six o'clock-until Ava o'elock Sunday morn? ing counting out the votes. The result is, that out of the Bix positions to be filled, the Democrnts, Jr whites, have elected three, and theBadicals, or negroes, three. The indivi? dual exhibit is as follows, the names of Dem?? crata hoing italicize 1: For Selectmen, ol whom the highest three are elected: J. L. Neagle. 784 votes; Jt. O'Neale, Jr.. 727 ; John E. Robertson, 726; Thoe. Taylor, 722; i?. JD. Senn, 720; P. B. Now ell, (colored) 714. For Township Clerk-O. F. Harrison, 724; J. 8. Bampfield, (colored) 717. For Surveyor-Green washington, (colored) 721: J. Af. ?rav?for?\ 712. For Constable- H. C. Beard, 721; Adam Johnson, (colored) 718. Borne of these individuals need a word of special mention. Seleotman Neagle is a repre? sentative in the Genend Assembly from the County of York, aleo Comptroller-General, to say nothing of his being a Trustee of the TJniverBity, His vote on Saturday was chal I lensed, on the ground that he must be a citi ' zen ot York to represent it legally, and if so, I could not be a voter in a township in Richland County; but his vote was allowed. John E. Robertson is a brother of Senator Rob erteon in Congress, and has moved to this -township within the past year, to assist his father in the duties, onerous but remunerative, of tax col? lector of the county. Green Washington, elect? ed surveyor, ia a negro carpenter, perhaps as well qualified for the duties of Bur ve y or as he is for those of United States senator. ITEMS. . A flue map of Columbia is nearly ready, pre? pared by A. Y. Lee, ol this pk oe, gotten up and issued by Colton, of New York. The scale ia one inch to the square;- so that the size of the map jtlU be ihiny-ono and a half, by thirty four and a half tn ob es. we have had three maps of this city heretofore published, none of them over a dollar in price, while this one will cost three, four or five dollars, according td finish and mounting. A white barber-the first that has ever been in this city-has just opened a shop. His large run of custom fro in the very day of open? ing, is au evidence of the increased separation of interesta and alienation of feeling between th ra009. This comes of the arrogance and persistence with which the negroes are being pushed on to antagonism in politice. This an tasonism is the only hope of the unprincipled Radical overseers that are lashing the poor negro on io his destruction. These Radical overseers are working like Trojans to get these township offices (in which there is no money) for the negro, so as to secure his vote in get? ting for themselves the paying positions. Cof? fee is not likely to find out bow the game is played until ne falls into a minority, and his sweet Radicals slink back to New England or sink into the penitentiary; and then the know? ledge will be a bitter thing to him. Cotton in the mid-country his been suf? fering severely from the continued cold since the froste of a fortnight ago. The effects of this continued cold are-in the hom sly phrase? ology of the farm-yard-sore shina and lice. Tho former ia apparently to cotton what rust is to wheat-a corrosive action that gradually consumes the stalk, extending below the sur? face of the ground. Th? latter is a smxll in s:ct that generally accompanies the former, and may be the causa of it. They both dis? appear with warm weather and cultivation. Wheat is ripening-has to-day a rich golden hue, and ma; be ready to reap in a week or (en days. Thia is tho early variety, known popularly as. Blay wheat. This crop seems good, if not very good.

The Cincinnati Enquirer, of th? 19th, pub? li?tes o leading article upon the Bout hern rail? way, which is as follows : We had tho pleasure of meeting at the Bur net House, last evening. Colonel Adrian Terry,, ol Knoxville: General J. W. Harrison, Presi? dent, and Colonel James P. Low, Chief Engi? neer ol tho Biuo Ridgo Railroad: J. B. Lafitte, of Charleston, S. C.; Colone" John H. Crozier, Y. H, Hturm. ot Knoxville, and other gentle? men, who are here tor the purpose of impress? ing ibo business men of Cmeinnati with the importance of a Southern railway connection by tbo wav of Knoxville. According to their showing, it wdt oo seen that the length of rona required to fill ?he gap between Paris, Kentucky, and Elk Gap, Tennessee, to whioh point a railway is now complet ed from Knox? ville, is but one hundred and forty-eight miles. At Knoxville this route camoola wi:h the Biuo Ridge Road, ia process of cou e tr notion, thus opening Up communication with Chariesto.i. The Blue tiidgo Road, it is asserted, will be complo ed whenever Knox? ville is named as the terminus, without a dollar of cost to the City of Cincinnati, while the connections made at Knoxville would placo us in easy commuuication with Chattanooga Dalton, Atlanta and East and West Virginia. It is understood that there is a rival route to tho ono referred to which is pro? posed from Nicholasville to Chattanooga, a distance ot two hundred and forty-nine miles. . This, the advocates of the other line claim, would bring us no better or nearer communi? cation with Cuattanooga than that wbioh Louisville already possesses. The advantages which the Paris and Elk Gap route possess over the one last named, as shown by their representations, are as follows : A (Southern connection can be 'orraed with one hundred miles ICBS of ioad; the road can be completed ia from one to two years' less time, while the country through which it posses is richer both in minerals and agricultural resources. The gentleraeu above referred to will remain at the Barnet House several days longer* They are anxious to ascertain the feeling of in? terested citizens upon the subject, and wish to carry borne with them aa ex jression of some kind ia reference to this great project. Tbey are prepared, with maps ond statistical re? ports, to present the claims of tho Knoxville route, and will be pleased to see as many gen? tleman at their rooms as feel an interest in the earlv construction of the propose i new railway. Their room is No. 61. The following telegram was received yester? day ia relation to the projected Southern Rail? road: "KNOXVILLE, May 18,1869. Colonel A. Terry, Burnet House: You know the position always taken by the officers of tbo East Tennessee and Georgia and East Tennessee and Virginia Railroads is to pro rata per mile on any freight offered them by auy one of their connections. President Galloway will telegraph tbe Presi? dent of tbe Board ot Trade to-day. You con fully commit both roads to this line of policy. R, C. JACKSON, Superintendent." And the same paper contains the following lucid and cogent letter in regard to the Knox? ville route : THE GRAND THUNK flAILBOAD. The arguments in the papers of the 17th inst., in regard to the necessity of the direct line to the South from Cincinnati, are very forcibly stated ty tho writer, but, unfortunate? ly for him, there are some errors of statement that will not stand against tacts in the case. Lu the first place, what Cmeinnati wants is a region which she can supply with tho pro? ducts of the Great West and ber own manu? factures. In the next place she wants a rail? road line open at all seasons ot the year, and leading to a port through which she con ex? port her surplus and import the products of ot tho West Indi s, South America and Europe. In the third place she wanta a short route to the cotton halt from whioh she can bring oheaply the ootton whioh she requires for ber own manufactures, as from her interior posi? tion she can never become a great ootton mar? ket, that bulky article always seeking water transportation. Mow, tho cotton region extends from tbe Une of the Memphis and Charles? ton Railroad southward. Cattanooga is to the north and east ot the great oottou re? gion. Chattanooga is nearer by twenty miles to Louisville by railroads already constructed than to Cincinnati by the proposed air line. AU the region immediately west of Chattanoo? ga is already tributary to Louisville through river navigation, and the railroad connecting Louisville with Nashville and Memphis and Nashville with Deoatnr and Chatt mooga. The only rt gi on that Cincinnati could gain by the proposed airline to Chattanooga would be that lying to the south of Chit t mooga, l he Will's Vailoj Railroad gives Chattanooga a short route to the mineral region of Northern Alaba? ma and the cotton region of Mississippi. But In order to reaoh the ootton region of Alabama, of which Selma is. as the writer remarks, the centre, the trade of Cincinnati must pass through Dalton, Georgia, which is fifteen milos nearer to Cincinnati, via Knoxville and the route proposed by that city, than it is by way ot Chattanooga aaa the proposed air line to that p.ace. Now, Dalton, Georgia is not only tbe point thrungli which the tiaffio cf Cbattanoo Sa with Southern and Central Alabama, and io important points of Mobile and Pensacola, must pass, but is also that through whioh she must communicate with the whole of .Georgia ?nd South Carolina. It therefore results that the route via Knoxvble and Dalton gives the route proposed by Knoxville fifteen miles the advantage bv roads already built in tho com? munication between Cincinnati and tho ootton region. Cincinnati now manufactures to a large extent the very artioles which ore most needed by the States that produce the cotton. lt follows, therefore, that the shortest Hoe to the cotton region is the shortest line to tbe region that-consumes her manufactures and surplus products, and that line is via Knox? ville and Dalton. 'Georgia, by roads already built. The advocates of the direct Chattanooga route do not even assume to compete with the KnoxviUs route to the States of Virginia md North Carolina by roads already built, or soon to be completed, c r via tbe Blue Ridge Road to the entire State of South Carolina; the port of Savannah, and the important inland City of Augusta, the greatest inland ootton uar net of the .South, and the point from which Di acia n atl can most easily and cheaply draw lier supplied. Now the West Indios and South America ure the largest consumers of those articlus ot rbub Cincinnati has tbe most to spare, viz: the surplus products of the West, and Charles ion is unquestionably the nearest and iiost port through wince that trade can [tass, open at all seasons of the year, and m the shortest line between Cincinnati and that immense body of consumers. Charleston ls also the non through which Cincinnati eau best transact ber European trade, being situ? ate midway betweoi the hurricane regions ot the tropica and the North Atlantic, which ii swept ny storms at least one-half the year. Ike ootton freighted from Charleston gives an outward freight to Europe largely io excess o her imports, and thus ' makes the return freight cheaper than to any North Atlanta port. It is a well known mot that the majori? ty of tbe vessels and steamers coming fron Europe to Charleston arriv? in ballast, ant that the port charges and other expenses o these ?hipa are lesa than those of any otho port in tho United States. As to the advantage of reaching Pensa ooh or any other Golf port the increased rates o freight and insurance, owing to tbe danger ons navigation of the Gnlf, prohibit the idea o any of these being made the port of Gmein natl. As to the point made by the writer tha Knoxville la too much to the eastward, Cincin natl u but thirty-five miles weat ot Knoxville While it ia .at.-least fifty miles east Wu?tt4 nowa.' ?

The Ko ox vii and Stoataaky Road, between Knoxville ai Clinton, a distance of twenty mlle?, bas a aaa itmtUB grade of ninety-five feet, twenty-oi teat leas than tbs maximum grade of the Bi timor? and Ohio Bailioad, and twenty-five less than that of tho Pennsylvania Central Rail? road. North of Clinton the road has been located to the 9ta*e line with a maximum Krude of sixty-six feet, and has been BO constructed to its northern terminus, while the estimates for the cost of its completion are based upon tbat location. Tbe twenty mile? between Knox? ville and Clinton wore originally located with prudes of but fifty-three foot to the mile, and can bo reconstructed, if necessary, with no heavier grades than the remainder of the road. Even now,a twenty-seven ton engine takee a net load of ono hundred tons of coal over theso grades, and a single pusher put upon this seotion could easily assist three full trains .each way daily, at a very small ex? pense On the Chitwood route the engineers admit that they have grades of eighty feet to the mile, and its advantages oueht not there? fore to insist too strenuously on those ol the Knoxville and Kentucky road. On tho Chti wood route again there aro ninety-six miles of mountain work from Cumberland River to Emery Grap, and that in a country which hardly produces enough to feed its sparce pop? ulation, while on the Elk Gap route there are but thirty miles ot mountain work, and fifteeu of these are already graded. The writers argument, therefore, in regard to the wrough country through which tho Knoxville route passes, tails to tho ground. As to the immense saving of distanoe claim? ed tor tho direct Chattanooga route, as it is loss than thirty milos further to Chattanooga by the Knoxville route thaw by his air line, how does it happen that he saves 114 miles in distance to the southwest? Y. o will oloeo with this question, and the ossertain that instead of connecting with only 8400 milos of railroad, tho railroads centering at Knoxville connect with the entire railroad systems of the United States and Canada. The Cincinnati Chronicle, of Thursday, prints the following leading article on the same j subject : The important question now before our peo? ple is the establishment oT the southern ter? minus ot' our great railroad. A number of gen? tlemen have been in the city presenting the special reasons why thou* respective cities should be named by the City Council in their resolution submitting the matter to the vote of the people, and the fact has been fully devel? oped that the people of thu whole country, south, southeast and south wost of us. are, and for years have been exceedingly anxious to cultivate the most in tun ato commercial rda1 ions with us. Tho ouly wonder to tlioso who have studied the matter ia that Cin? cinnati has so long stood indifferent to the de? sires and efforts of those who have been so earnestly struggling to come tons sud help onward m the road to commercial greatness. Without, however, stopping to regret th? post, it now becomes us to go energetically and earnestly into the great voik. Not too hastily, not in ignorance ot what we aro doing, but, ignoring individual interests, and in the light of the best informat on, tho groat work should be proceeded with ia the mann r to accomplish tho greatest practical good with tho least ex? pense and risk to tho city. In another column we print a statement in favor of Knoxville as the southern terminus, which will well repay perenal. It is clear and succinct, and unless its ussartions c m be dis* proved it seems to ni that the writer makes s olear cane in favor of that city. In order that the article may be fully understood, the readei should have constant icieronce to a map ol j the cou n try through which the proposed rontei run, All of the routes which have been dis cussed present enerinee.ing. difficulties, bat this, it seems to as, is the least objectionabh on that score, while it may bo completed at ai earlier day than either of the^otbera.

They settle all business matters arising between the brt'Lmeu 1?y action of tho ch Jrch. There is never a law-suit between Dunkards, though they may su? or be sued by outsiders. And such a thing as a pauper has never been known among them. The congre? gation supports its needy. It is one ot the best, as well as strongest, of their laws that no member shall bn a candidate for publie office-tue genuine effect of which rule is Rood, but ils execution naturally engenders quite au indifference to political matters; and as they always vote unanimously as a eh arch, it is hara to bring them out upon ordinary issues. Then, they are timid in Buch matters-the more so uow,-as in Virginia they unanimously voted for secession, and, regarding it as a mistake, are moro disposed than ever to let governmental mattera alone. lu religious affairs thoy differ chiefly from other sects in tho strictness of their lives, though their form of worship bas some pecu? liarities based, as they say, upon the Scrip? tures and ancient practice. They baptize by immersion, plunging the convert three times into the water, face f-rward. lu the com? munion-wbioh always occurs at night, and in the open air-they have first a substantial repast of so'ips and meats, &<\; at the end of J wbiob they washea?h other's feet, the men interchanging embraces and kisses, and tho womenoaressing earn other, the ?oal feature beiug the taking of bread and wine. The unauimous estimation of these people by their fellow-citizens is that they are moral, inoffensive and thrifty, but they never conti - bute a cent to public improvements of any sort.

To them her toss 1B almost irreparable, i hey will lon? miss her tond attentions sud ? sslduoua care, like the saints of all ages, her Christian character was developed by suffering. Bodily pa n, priva? tions and trials were tue instruments used by her Heavenly Fathei to purify her soul, and conform her .to a suffering Saviour. The discip.lne of the cove? nant ?as sanctified to ber, and sh" perceptibly grew in grace, buffering from disease of the heart, she knew thal at any moment nhe might die, and com? mitted herself to her bav.'our, striving and pray mir to bf* found ready when the nummo nu should arr ve.

By thu mourn? ful providence ?inners are warned to make their peace with God through Christ, and all are exhorted to live in a state Of preparation for de dh. 1 brough the grace of Christ and the influences of thu Holy Spirit, may her children be enabled to follow her Christian example, and finally join her in the man? sions of the saved.
