Pillsbury and his Council Doomed. ^rptfAh TELEORAM TO THE NEWS.] COLUMBIA, January ". In thc House to-day, DcLargc gave notice of a bill-which, by unanimous consent, received its first reading-to extend the limits of thc City of Charleston, and to provide for the election of municipal officers therein. The bill proposes to extend the city Hm its to the Six-mile house and to thc Goose Creek rarish line, which, it is calculated, will bring in a large majority of Republican voters. It also provides for a city election when the general election occurs next October. It is alleged that the object of the sup ^portcrsof the bill is to get rid o? thc present Mayor and Aldermen. They urge that by a change they may get better officials, but cannot get worse. The bill will pass with hardly a dis? senting vote, and will receive its second reading to-morrow. The members or thc Legislature express un? qualified disapproval of the new license bill pass? ed by Council. They say that it is unrepublican in spirit, placing a monopoly in thc hands of thc rich, because the poor cannot afford to take out licenses. It ls further objected, that lawyers living out of Charleston can go there to practice and pay no tp.x, while those who live there have to pay it. But the chief cause of disgust with Coun? cil is because it refused to allow colored people ^jual rights at places of amusement and else? where. The following notices of new bills were given: By Brodie, to incorporate the Piyuu-uth Congre? gational Church of Charleston; by George Lee, to amend an act to enforce the Civil Rights bill; by Boswell, to repeal thc charter of the Camden Bridge iCompany; by Raincy, to incorporate the Sumter Wide Awake Fire Engine Company.

In the Senate, bills to incorporate the Port Royaj Improvement Warehouse and Bock Companies; to levy a tax of two mills Tor Spa'tanburg, and four mills for Colleton, to liquidate the debt or those counties; to authorize an enrolment tax; to repeal the acts to secure advances Tor agricultu? ral purposes, and to regulate thc rights and pow? ers or railroad companies, severally received their first reading. Wright gave notice of bills to prevent certain storekeepers dealing in cotton between certain hours; to prevent the fraudulent practice of mer? chants known as the check system; to make the clerks of courts of General Sessions and Common Pleas perform thc duties imposed upon select? men and township clerks, relative to the draw? ing of jurors. Bills were read a third time and sent to the House to incorporate the DeKalb and Wateree Fire Companies or Camden; the Vigilant, or Co? lumbia; and the Wlnnsboro' Ilook and Ladder Company, and to grant a lot or land for Zion Baptist Church in Columbia.

[FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, January o. COOSAWnATCniE COUNTY. Wright to-day introduced in thc Senate a petition of several citizens of Beaufort County, requesting that the county be divided, and the new county be called Coosawhatchie, as provided for in the "bill to create the County of Coosaw hatchie," which was reported unfavorably upon by the Committee on Incorporation prior to thc recess. The petitioners stated that they would defray the expenses of building a juil and couri y house, the expense of building v hich was the main objection the Committee on Incorporation had to the passage of the WA. The petition was rererred to the commiitee. ' COTTON STEALING. V Wright also presented a petition, numerously signed by the citizens or Beaufort County, which related that there were several storekeepers in that county who were in the habit of purchasing at night cotton which had been stolen. Thc peti? tion in conclusion requested the General Assem? bly to create a law which would punish these storekeepers, and relieve thc people or their pres? ence. It was laid over under the rules. From all parts or the State come complaints rrom parties whose cotton has been stolen during thc night and sold to unscrupulous merchants. Yet, in the House to-day, several members as? serted that they did not believe that there was much cotton stolen, and that the complaints were made merely for political effect. The occasion or these remarks was the bill or fered by Feriter of Sumter, "to regulate the sale of cotton," which was the "special order''for one o"clock. This bill provides for the appointment or a commissioner in each county, with deputies whenever necessary, whose duty it shall be to weigh all cotton, and keep a registry or the buy? er and seller. The Committee on Agriculture, to which it was rererred, reported ravorably, v, uh an amendment providing that the county com? missioners or each county should appoint the commissioners whenever in their judgment they deemed lt necessary. When thc bill was taken up to-day, DeLargc moved to strike out the en? acting clause. ^* This motion elicited remarks from nearly all or thc "speaking members," and even caused two lu make their "maiden speeches." Feriter said colton stealing w^s very prevalent in Sim County. Fields which, at sunset, <v?re white v '.the snow of onr Southern clime," were, at s risc, dark and. hare-the cotton having li stolen during thc night and sold to storekeep and two stores In thc comity had leen bur because it was believed ilint their owners deal stolen cotton, and other storekeepers had b threatened. With a view of stopping these de] dations he had introduced this bill, but was v lug to have it amended in any form which wo carry ont the object Intended-which was to g plant?is proteciion. ir they had no relief fi these depredations, it was more than prc ble that they would take thc law in tl own hands. Tomlinson opposed the l and declared it would be a dangerous experim to carry out its provisions; besides, it was an tempt at special legislation. He did not bell all these stories about cotton stealing-doubtK some had been stolen. The store of Robert; was not burned because, as alleged, he bom stolen cotton, but because of Iiis political or, ious. All this clamor about cotton stealing v bosh; gotten up for mere political effect. : Large said the bill wu-i conceived by thc devil a bora in hell. As regarded Feriter's statemi that the people of Sumter would, if not reliev take" the law in their own hands, he was not at scared, and he would tell these gentlemen Sumter that ir they tried that burning game agi the State militia would take hold of them, a they would bc shown what the law was. Bur James, colored, favored the bill, and s; that he did not think the burning Robertson's store was done through pol cal motives; anyhow he did not believe tl Robertson s politics were up to thc high-wa mark. Smiley and Ramsey made their maid speeches, both opposing thc bill. Wilder, colon waxed eloquent in opposition to thc bill, sayl that lt was thc beginning of an effort to revi thc negro code. He spoke at great length abc old slavery oppressions, and sending thc mili to Sumter to check the people if they took t law in their own hands. Chester, colored, "hop dc 'nactmont clause would be knocked clean c of de bill." Whipper opposed thc bill, sayit among other things, that he did not believe he est commissioners could bc gottCD. Commlssic ers to stay upon thc plantations and sec that t poor laborers got their rights, were more need than any other kind. After Whipper's rcmarl Dc Large'a motion to strike out the cnactii clause was put and carried-ayes sixty-two, na two. SPECIAL TAXE?. ? In the Senate to-day Luuney's bill arilhorlzii the county commissioners to levy, in addition the tax already authorized by law, a special t? of four mills on the dollar for the construction a courthouse at Darlington, was referred to tl Judiciary Committee. Swails introduced a rcs lution providing that the county commissionc of Williamsburg County be empowered to levy tax of two mills on thc dollar to build a jail. ADVANCES FOK AGRICULTURAL FCRrOSES. In the Senate to-day Wlmbush gave notice i his intention to Introduce a bill repealing thc a< passed September 'JO, 1806, to secure advances f< agricultural purposes. This act, it will bc remen bcred, provides that any person making ai vanees, either in money or supplies, to persoi engaged or about to engage in thc cultivation < thc soil, shall bc entitled to a lien upon thc cr? made during the year upon the land, in thc cult vation of which such advances have been c: pended. JURORS IN" FELONY CASES. To-day Nash introduced In the Senate, withon previous notice, a bill to regulate thc number c jurors in felony cases. This bil!, which receive its first reading, provides that in all cases c felony the defendant shall be entitled to ten pei emptory challenges, and thc State three. There was no explanation made by Nash in rc gard to this bill, and the occasion for its intro duction is yet to be ascertained. THE FINANCIAL AGENT. Arnim caused a little sensatlot. In the Senat to-day by thc introduction of a resolution In stmcting the Finance Committee to Inquire an? report what amount of securlry.Jf any, ls deposit ed by II. II. Kimpton, the financial agent, of th State, to secure the State. The whereas of til resolution recited that the said nuance agent ha several millions of dollars belonging to thc State The resolution was laid over under the rules. PATING TUE I STEHEST. Speaking of Kimpton, reminds me of gold in terest and that of thc fact that the State Trcasu rer yesterday commenced paying the Interest o the State bonds in gold. I am informed that ui to to night two-thirds of the interest due has beet paid, and a large proportion paid to persons hold lng two and three bonds each. It Is stated thai over a half of a million of bonds arc unaccounted for, and arc supposed to have been destroyed. TOWNSHIPS. To day in thc Senate, Nash moved to take ur the Honsc btu repealing thc Towtshlp act. Les lie begged him not to press the motion, but to let the bill lay over until Corbin ai rived. Corbin's whole soul, Troni the top of his head to the sole of his foot, was in opposition to the bili repealing the act, and it was not fair to pass lt without giving him an opportunity or opposing it. Espect ally should he be allowed au opportunity to do so, because he had a lilli now before tlie Senate, amending the act which some or thc senators de? sired to have repealed. Wright was In favor of postponing the consideration of the bill ror a day or two, although he believed he favored it. After some further consideration, lt was decided to make the bill the special order lor to-morrow. It will most probably bc passed. / TUE BONE BILL.

Lying ou thc desks or each or the senators, this morning, was a copy of Dr. Pratt's "History of thc Marls or South Carolina, and or the discovery and development of thc Native Bone Phosphates or the Charleston Basin."

Great Mass Meeting of the Working? men of London-The Government Pc tioncd to usc Idle Vessel-* for the Pur? pose of Free Emigration-Speech of Sir George Grey. LONDON, January 4. An immense mass meeting of workingmen was held this evening at Exeter Hall for the pur pose'or considering thc subject or emigration. Sir George Grey occupied thc chair. Thc meeting was held nuder thc auspices of thc Workingmcn's Emigration Society of London. Deputations of workingmen were present from Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and other large towns. On thc platform were many members of Parlia liainent. Slr George Grey delivered a lengthy ad? dress. He said the English labor market was overstocked with artisans. At thc present time thousands of men were unable to obtaiu employ? ment, and hav'-g no means to emigrate, were niling the workhouses. He thought it the duty of the government to organize a system or free emi? gration to English colonies, and to use govern? ment vessels now lying idle for thc purpose, and pay all the expenses of transportation. And he believed thc government would lose nothing by adopting such a course, while lt would Invigorate the colonies, and enrich both the home govern? ment and the workingmen. Resolutions were adopted impressing upon thc government the ; necessity of a consolidation or thc empire by maintaining a close connection be? tween England and her colonies. Also, calling upon thc government to organize a national system of emigration to the British Colonies, be? lieving that to he thc only remedy for thc pre? vailing distress among mechanics and thc labor? ing men of thc country; recommending Idle gov? ernment vessels to bc used for the purpose, and that there shall be regular Intervals for their de? parture, and that emigrants shall bc landed In whatever portion of thc British dominions they may prefer to locate. Thc resolutions were carried amid great cn?f thuslasm. A committee was appointed to walt on Mr. Gladstone, for thc purpose of impressing upon thc goverument the necessity of its supple? menting the cil'orts of thc society, tosend thc surplus labor or England to thc colonies, where labor is iu demand.

Maury lias pub? lished a letter in the Virginia papers on tito departure ol'colored persons from the State. He often thc following calculations: "The public press slates that there are now in Virginia two agents, one callinti for 5000 the other for 15,000 able-bodied negroes to go South. Let us suppose that these twenty thousand abled-bodicd men ?o-and probably a la, -.rei' number in thc aggregate than that will go, for there aro undoubtedly numerous agents ut work sending them off. "Thc life-long services of an able-bodied negro man wore, before thc war. valued at from $1000 to $1400-let tts call it $1000. With Hie exodus ol'these twenty thousand laborers the State loses $20,000,000 of its industrial capital. Before tho war such an exodus would have lea $20,000,000 In its stead. Now tho loss is total and complete. Nothing is left but the old, the feeble and infirm, who were de? pendent upon these able-bodied men, and whom those who remain have to care for. "l'cs, they left something more behind; they left the lands they have been cultivating to bc* turned out into old fields, to become waste, and grow with pine, briers and scrub, and titus, by increasing the area of uncultivated lands, diminish the marketable value of real estate in Virginia." .

What they Arc, andi haw they Cam c there-Contract for thvir Removal Operations soon to Commence. A corporation of enterprising capitalists ol New York City, known an the "Monitor Wrecking Company," of which Mr. B. T. Ben? ton is president, has been awarded by thc Treasury Department the contract for raising thc wrecks now lying In Charleston Harbor. Thc New York Tribune says: Among these arc the Keokuk, Wechawken and Putapsco, lron-clads, and thc Ilousatonic store-ship, besides a large number of others of less importance. Store-ships, block? ade-runners, torpedo boats, vessels of every known variety, fitted for war or peace, are found by the divers strewn over thc bottom of ol the harbor; probably there is not at present another piace in the world where so many sub? merged wrecks arc collected within so small a space. The harbor is formed by thc junction ol'the Ashley and Cooper rivers, which herc combine to empty their waters into the ocean. Across thc entrance, seven miles below the eily, a sand bar stretches from Sullivan's to Morris Island. On this bar thc government stone licet of sixteen vessels was sunk in 18(11, with the Intention ol rendering the entrance impassable, but as the river current soou hol? lowed out a channel on thc other side as good as the first, it did not materially impede navi? gation. This bar renders the harbor inaccessi? ble to. large vessels, except?t high tide and dangerous at all times; but tho explanation of the wrecks "which all around with fragments strew the sea," is not to bc found in this, but. in those gigantic conflicts ot which these'quict waters were not lom; ago thc scene. The Keokuk, thc ?rsl iron ship ever sunk In batlle, was a double turreted iron-clad, built by Mr. Whitney of this city. On the morning ol' the 7th of August, 16G3, she brought up the rear of that tremendous armada of nine ves? sels which steamed up Charleston harbor lo attack the rebel stronghold-thc ill-fated Wechawken, on whose stout ribs thc worms now feed near by, leading the attack. Thc odds were terrific ; a fleet, mounting 32 guns, against forts mounting 300. Thc attack con? tinued through the day. The Keokuk bore thc brunt of the fight, advancing within a few hundred feet of Fort Sumter, nnd receiving no less than 90 of the heaviest shot. Her hull, at water mark, showed 19 shot holes. She was kept up through the night only by plugging and continual pumping, and went down next morning, with colors still flying, abreast of Monis Island, where she now lies. The Pataps co-monitor-was sunk by a torpedo, which tore an immense hole in her bottom ; and thc Ilousatonic, storcship, met the same fate. The loss of thc Wechawken will bc remem? bered by many from the sad tragedy attending lt, four engineers and twenty-six seamen hav? ing been carried down in her. She sunk at her anchorage on the Uth of December, 1803. lt was asserted ot the time that the forward hatch was open, and tho continuous stream poured in by the high waves washing over thc bow deck weighed her head down before the crew, who were alt, knew anything of it, so that she sank before they could escape. This seems the best explanation, though it has been declared improbable, and even impossible, hy? the surviving officers. It was an inglorious end, reminding one of the wreck of the "Royal George," of which Cowper wrote: "It was not in the battle; no tempest gave the shock; " She sprang not fatal leak; she ran upon no rock. Ills sword was la Ills sheath and his lingers held the pen When Kempenfclt went donn with twice four hundred men." But, unfortunately, it is no use to say in thc case of these vessels as he said of that ono "Weigh the vessel np, once dreaded by our foes, And minjrlc with thc cup thc tear that Knglaud owes. Her timbers yet arc sound, and she may float again; Full charged with England'-) thunders, and plough the distant main.'' All efforts to raise the vessels have proved unsuccessful. Mr. Whitney expended three years' labor and a fortune in endeavoring to raise thc Keokuk, but without avail, and Mr. Benton has lost a great deal in the futile at? tempt which ne lias made during the last three seasons to float the Wechawken. His plan was to nina huge iron cylinder down to the top of the turret, to make lt air-tight at the joint, and pump the vessel out through it. The plan would probably have succeeded, but just at thc time when thc machinery was oil erected and an iron cylinder 31 feet in diameter and and 30 feet high had been successlully Joined to the turrel, a storm came up and washed the whole structure away, the men barely es? caping witli life. even If it were possible to raise these ves? sels whole, they have now been so long sub? merged that the destructive worms willoh abound in those waters have calen away the wood-work so that it has scarcely enough strength left to hold together, ami in many par?- i a piece is hooked on to, it conies away from the rotten hull without any perceptible resistance. Under these circumstances, the government has wisely concluded that it is in- J expedient to atlcmpt raising the vessels whole, ! and the present contract merely looks to the j preservation of their undestroyed metallic ?ians. The method pursued will bc to blast out pieces and raise them by machinery Much of the machinery used by the wrecking com? pany in their former attempts still remains, andean housed for Ibis purpose. Thc mines will be laid by submarine divers, with the as? sistance of sand-pumps removing six thousand gallons per ninnie, for use where the vessels are part lally covered with shifting sand, which is olten the case. Alter thu blast thc divers will descend with chains, (astell them lo the disjointed portions -disjecta intmhra-and at a signal Uley will lie hoisted away. The powerful hoisting ma? chinery ls ?i groat steam scow, built for the purpose, and the fragments are deposited hy li on other scows, also constructed specially for that use. The machinery ls capable of hoisting over 40 lons, a single pair of "blocks and falls' used weighing 2700pounds. An idea of the value ol' the metals contained in all these vessels may be got from the follow? ing inventory of that in the store-ship ilousa? tonic, which is not an irou-ciod, but a wooden screw steamer : Pounds.

Besides the metals, it. is expected that valua? ble cargoes will be lound on some of the block? ade runners, such as cotton and other things which withstand tile action of (he water a long time. The contract will Include these, as ft covers everything of value sunk within the limits of the harbor. Mr. Benton will com? mence operations about the 1st of March. THE POLISH COLONY IN Vinutxu. - Thc Lynchburg Republican announces the sale of thirty-three thousand acres of land, lying on both sides of Janies River, in the counties of Amherst, Itockbritlge and Bedlord, to au asso? ciation ol prominent and wealthy capitalists organized as Hie "Polish Emigration Land Company."

A little hand-book has recently been pub? lished by the Longmans, In London, containing a great many Interesting facts relating to thc workingmen of Germany. Its title Is "Thc German Wornlngman: his In? stitution for Self-Culture and his Unions for Ma? terial Progress." The author ls James Samuel? son, editor of the (Quarterly Jourual of Science, and president of the Liverpool Operative Trades' Hall. Mr. Samuelson wcut to Germany lo obtain information concerning thc German trades' unions for thc usc of his journal; >>ut his work has Its value herc also, although our workmen are so much better on* in every respect than their co-la? borers either lu England or in Germany. Some passages relate to wages and thc cost of living, and others to the character of thc societies or Institutions established by the work? ingmen for thc Improvement or their condition. Thus we learn that the Munich wages range about as follows, thc rates bel?g reduced to thc standard of our paper currency : Masons or brick? layers, about forty-live to seventy-live cents; cab? inet-makers, fifty cents; blacksmiths, sixty-two cetus. These are not very large sums, certainly, but the cost of living ls also quite low. Lodgings for a single man cost about $2 a month; bread ls about two and a hair cents a pound, and beer about thc same price a quart. A workingman's dinner costs about ten ccuts, and a cloth Sunday suit about twenty dollars, lite dinner just men? tioned cannot contain much meat, Tor that ls a costly luxury, except in the form of sausages. In Zurich, lu Switzerland, lt ls ?otnewhat worse. The wages of a spinner in a mill, or of a work? man in thc building trade, amounts to about sixty cents a day, while bread is four cents a pound meat tuteen cants, and poorlodglngs cost adollar and a quarter a week. A small and miserable cottage costs fifty dollars a year. All this is very wretched when compared with What American mechanics and workingmen arc used to. Vet, notwithstanding their pitiful wages, ami their poor ways of livlug, the German workingmen lu thescda.\s manage to do a great deal tluit is wort ly of commendation and imita? tion elsewhere. At Elberfeld, In Prussia, they have a court for thc settlement of all trade dis p?tes between employer and employed. It ls coiled Gwerbe Gericht, and lu Its operation, though not in its legal rorm, it ls similar to thc Not? tingham Board or Conciliation, which was de? scribed In these columns about a year ago. It does away with all blttemessof trade disputes, and decreases thc supposed necessity Tor strikes. Thc cost for trying a case is six cents. hut thc must striking contrast ls thc difference between most English and American trades' unions and the Oennan workingmcn's, auch, for Instance, as that in Munich, where two or three hundred members, men of all trades, lor an en? trance fee of ll fi eon cents, and a monthly sub? scription of ten cents, have a clubhouse, willi billiard room, gymnasium, reading-room, sing? ing classes, vocal entertainments, 4c. Every evening In the week has Its occupation. Monday, writing;-Tuesday, singing; Wednesday, steno? graphy and English; Thursday, arithmetic; Fri? day, French; Saturday, scientific and political lectures; anil Sunday, English again. These lec? tures and Instructions are chiefly Imparted by professional teachers, some of them professors in the University. There ls a library or several thon and volumes, and lhere arc prizes of books for proficiency; besides a sick club, a savings bank and an emigration society. The subscription to thc sick chili is ten cents per month, and as soon as thc member ls laken 111 he receives about twenty-two cents per day until his health ls re? stored. To join the savings bank lt ls necessary to pay In twenty cents per month. Thc Interest allowed ls five per cent., and the emigration so? ciety aims to substitute continued emigration for occasional strikes and an artificial rate of wages. Besides similar Institutions in other German towns,they arc now being fast supplied with "people's "banks". and "halls of Industry"-a practical and extended system of co-operation the former dealing In the money of Us members, and the latter in their handiwork by advances and sales, and us most workingmen join both, the former gives them money to get material, and thc latter advances on thc finished work anti sells lt at fair rates, so that thc industrious man need never want work. lt ls not surprising that, with such institutions, wc should lind in our German working popula? tion intelligence, thrirt and sobriety. During his whole Ute lu Germany, thc workingman has, anti ls required to have, his mental powers suc? cessfully cultivated, and he has been bettering his condition by this means, while many English artisans have been trying to attalu the aanie end by combinations looking only to what appears to bc the interests of the moment. In Germany they have been wise enough to look further Into Mic future and provide for their own intellectual training anti an Improved condition for their children. In doing lids they have strengthened themselves, made their pcsltion and their power putin, and hare given the best proofs that they were advancing the general good while they ! were seeking their (mu,~JPhUamphta Leader. ?bitnnrn.
