[FROM OIJE OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, November 28. i^ore work has been accomplished to-day than any day of the session thus far, and more perhaps tuan will be accomplished in any one day until toward the final adjournment. The Governor and Lieutenant-Governor have been in? augurated; the Governor's annual message has been delivered and read; the department reports have nearly all been presented; the senatorial contest has been st av. d oir Tor a week, and a fair amount of l?gislation lias been accomplished The political kaleidoscope has receive* a double dose of turning, an.1 matters are beginning to look a little clearer.

Every one wants to know whether the proposed u' ?vestigatlon of the affairs of thc land commis- w ton ls a blind, a bid, a "strike," or an honest ai teasure. lt is most likely one or the former, and al lay before it terminates prove to be the latter. 01 .'hipper seems to be mixed up in lt, and hts side Tl artner, McIntyre, desires an investigation of a u< ovelkind, in which Treasurer Parker must fig- 111 re. The former, opposing a large committee, Bi .oks as ir he thought there might i>c a small "di- P1 ide." It ls highly probable that ir an Investiga- Pl on ls had, (and there Is plenty to investigate we m ll know,) the State nay bein the condition of lose seeking justice tn trial justice courts-the ai jsts will overlap everything. Let her be juve3tl- s' ated, though; she needs it.

A BLCE RIDGE INVESTIGATION. n< Whipper's Blui Ridge Investigation resolution T1 ime into the Senate this morning, and was, of a' jurse, advocated by McIntyre. Leslie and Smalls in ebated the subject. Leslie thought that an in-. 1,1 scent hast- was shown. "The Governor had not 01 :t been inaugurated; the regular business or the 01 ?sslon had not commenced; the president of thc pl >ad had had no opportunity of making the report fa squired by law, and yet lt was proposed to make P' n investigation. He objected to thl3 berore- af reakfast work, and didn't like to see the early- '* nd-often spirit manifested. The gentleman lelntyre) needed ir.vestlgating himself." ll! Now we have boen Informed of a game worth ftl vb of their Investigating game. When this com- cc dttec, whoever they may be, with Whipper as aalrman, introduce themselves to President arrisan, he will receive them blandly and fur- m lah them with a'l the reports they need, in the cc 3t of expendlt ores will be found certain amounts th ald.oat to another similar committee last year, t?< This, of conree, the committee will publish. Come now, Messrs. Committeemen, we must have a complete report this time. THE INAUGURATION -"OR, W30 CARSS ? 1 DON'T." The ceremQny of Inaugurating the Governor of the State of South Carolina took place at l o'clock to-day in the hall of the HOUS? of Representa? tives. Now, there ls a certain amount of pro? priety that should be observed in all things. Whether any was manifested in this we will leave the reader to judge. The Senate being received in due form and hav? ing taken their seats, the Governor elect made his appearance at the door, accompanied by the com? mittee appointed to escort him to the bail. He was arm-in-arm with Whlttemore. Merciful Heavens ! spare us; for we are not equal to the task. The Governor of South Carolina appeared arm-in-arm with Whlttemore. Whlttemore escort? ed him to the speaker's stand. The bare facts, only, we can give. The usual ceremonies, with some Innovations and exceptions, were carried out. Every one, and there was quite a respectable audience, was on tip-toe. The president pro tem. of the Senate introduced the chapla'n, who pro? ceeded to offer up prayer. OCR GOVERNOR, WHICH ART FROM OHIO ! The Rev, Mr. narrls prayed fervently-yes, he prayed pathetically, but he did not pray judicious? ly. After he had proceeded some way, and had begun to wax warm, he asked that a blessing might accompany the Governor of Ohio-"South Carolina," he added, corrfc.Ing himself. Eut lt was i oo late. Every one tittered, and no one who was present will ever think of the day without thinking, too, of that lapsus lingua:, "the Gov-. ernor of Ohio." SENA'OUIVL MATTEPS. It is now understood that the election will come on* to-morrow week. Mr. Corbin, In the Senate, urged strongly the propriety of an election to? morrow. He did it, and we think honestly, as he said, because he wished to have the matter dispensed with. He had seen enough <^ancusslng. The Legislature contd do nothing unt'l that was accomplished. To-morrow, too, he said was the legal day. The friends of Robertson, knowing that they were ahead, also desired to-morrow. The sense of the Senate was 14 to o against lt." PLENTT OF POWER. The speaker of the House has had the whole matter of appointing subordinate officers, and the House put lt in his hands. We were not aware, though, that he had the power to create offices as well. Bu; such seems to bc the case, for we arc informed that Rev. Mr. Harris, "from Ohio," has been appointed chaplain of the House, ?e was so announced to-day, certainly. With the unlimited clerical force at his command in his jwn body, it seems ra'her an unnecessary cr?a lion. Now that Parson Cain and Parson Adams ire out of employment, the speaker fhould call m them to pray out their old scores. CONCERTS. Mr. Joseph Hart Denck, well-known AS one of ;he best musical artists in the whole country, will dve, next week, a matinee on Wednesday | and a loiree on Thursday evening. To Columh ians and .Isltor-t this must prove a treat. Tickets, we earn, for one dollar, can be had ut thc book Ftores 1?re. THE GLWEIirLL ASSEMBLY. senator ??prague anti the Water Works -The Furniture Bill-The Survey of the State. ?FHO?I OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.] COLUMBIA, November 27. In our statement ol thc complexion of the leneral Assembly, a slight error crept in in re ;ard to the Senate. Hayne, from Marion, was lassed among the whites and om Ittel from the st of colored Radicals. The list, as corrected, honld tilly nineteen white senators and eleven olored. Hay ne's name being only omitted from tie list of Radicals, leaves lt as before-thirteen rblte and eleven colored. Ey omitting the name f Ralney, of the Senate, who will resign, tue omplexlon now ls-twenty-nine active senators : wenty white and nine colored; thirteen white ladlcals, ten colored. On a joint ballot the Rad? ials have a majority of ninety-four, and the lacks of fourteen. The above count ls exclusive f the vote of the speaker of the House and the ote of the president of the Senate. A CAUTION.

Thy any one should deny lt, it is hard to say, for is a matter of no moment. Mr. Correspondent mst remove the wax from his ears and try a ew prn.

We are Inclined to the opinion that when the ll comes in for the furnishing of the Statehou se, te amount wlii not be as large as contemplated'] r some Daddy Cain thinks $60,000 will be thc jure. We estimate lt at $40,ooo. Of course.a ll of (60,060 could much more easily go through ian one of $40.o(Jb f"r the same work.

The United States District Court will convene to-morrow at Nlckerson's Hotel. The prelimina? ries of the ciurt will bc attended to by the clerk, and the court adjourned over till Tuesday. The business before the court this session will be of no special moment. There will be some election fraud cases which may create some in? terest.

Will the people of Charleston please to in? form us. generally, how they can remain quiet and allow J. B. Dennis to hold his seat in the House rf Representatives ol the State, as a mern-, ber from Charleston County, when it can be' proved here that he has been a resident or Rich? land County for tho last twelve months, as the Daily Union, published here, gives his residence, Arsenal Hill, Columbia, South Carolina? Under section io of the constitution, a person to be eligible to a seat lu thc General Assembly, . has to be a citizen of the United States, a resident of the State for twelve months, and last, though oot least, a resident or the county for three months next preceding the election. This fel? low took the oath and his seat, and committed a oarofaced case or perjury, as can be proved, whenever a member of the Legislature, either Re? publican or Reform, gathers up independence mough to bring up the case. In the name of tense, ar? t?n ambers all lost to the cause or morality, and wlia' ls becoming of the country ? Jan lt be possible that thc great Republican Con? stitution ls to be trampled under foot? What has occome of the great stickler for constitutional rights, "Cadetship Whlttemore," that he does not have Dennis hauled up for perjury ? It was under? stood that he was to have one Donaldson seated in the Senate, from Chesterfield, In place of the Reform member, but when one of his own tribe sommlts perjury and takes his seat, he sits down julet, and allows the constitution to be violated.

EUROPEAN SITUATION. PR TTS SI A'S PROPOSITION FOR A CONFERENCE. Afore Battle* -with Varions Success-A General Bat Ac Between thc German s and French, with 300,000 Troops, About to Take Place. LONDON, November 29. Alter the adjournment of the English Cabi? net to Wednesday, Granville visited the Queen. Granville Insists that Russia must withdraw her note before a Congress ls assented to. Lowe, Bright and Cardwell will resign before consenting to war. The Queen also opposes war. Granville demands the presence of France at any confer? ence on the Eastern question. The Sultan ls re? ported dissatisfied with the hesitancy of the allies against Russia. The feeling at Versailles is that England makes too much of a small matter, and that war on the Eastern question is impos? sible. The London Daily Telegraph says: "England and Austria have firmly, but courteously, denied Russia's rlgtit to withdraw from the treaty. It is quite possible Russia may seek an honorable re? treat.? 1 English bankers have resolved to take the entire hundred million thalers' loan, Just voted' by the Prussian Parliament. The feeling in money circles this morning ls pacific, though the Times gives place to a number ol contributions Insisting on the neutrality of the Black Sea, or war. Prussian and Russian Diplomacy. The New York Tribune Berlin special says at the ontbreajt of the present war, Oortschakoir .had several Interviews with King William and Bismarck. The neutrality of Russia was the principal object of the negotiations, and Gortscha kofl* demanded the acquiescence of Prussia in the abolition of that part of the Paris treaty which forbids Russia keeping a fleet In the Black Sea. Bismarck accepted the proposition, and lt was then mutually understood the claim of Rus? sia should be put publicly forward on the conclu? sion of peace between Prussia and France. By this arrangement Bismarck was ertabled, by the mid? dle of Augqst, to send for two corps which had been left for the defence of the eastern province of Silesia, and Prussia was enabled to set a time for the beginning or the war. By this understand? ing not only was the neutrality of Russia secured, but Gortschakoff had even pledged himself to re? strain Austria from Interference between Prussia and France Some weeks ago the 'canine* at St. Petersburg thought peace was about to be made prematurely, and silence was broken concerning the designs or Russia. NEW YORK, November 29. Count Catacazy, Russian minister, now in this etty, stated In conversation to day that Russia would not recede from the position she had taken In regard to the treaty or 1856. England must comply with the demands or GortschakofTs note, or war is inevitable. The War tn France. BERITN, November 29.

Thc German "Circle of Iron" Around Parla?No Chance for a Successful Sortie. .'An American Correspondent" writes to the London Times, November 6, from Versailles: The Germans are perfect ly confident In what they call their circle or Iron around Paris, vast as ls that great sweep of circumference. They tell me they have so distributed their forces that there ls no point at which they could be attacked by a great sortie at which th?y conld not at once meet it, first by a corns d'arm?e (33,000 men) and within two or three hours by two other corps, which would close m rapidly /rom the light and the left, not only supporting the corps first attacked, but taking the attacking columns in the flank on both sides. Besides about 100,000 med whom t nev.could thus rapidly concentrate on the point assailed, they will soon have a fourth corps of reserve ready tn thc rear of their circle or investment to come np in support, with ?>uch rorcea they feel perfect? ly confident or driving bick any possible sortie out of Paris. Of these reserve corps they have already one in position on the southern side at Longjumeau, consisting of troops already arrived from before Metz, to take the place o Von der Tann's corps, which went down to Orleans. They are soon to have another on the north, and 1 be? lieve a third. There you have thelrclrcfe of Iron. They are sure that the corpi receiving the first brunt of attack will bold firm tin relieved by the supports it knows lt can rely upon. You wilt re? member that, at the battle of Gravelotte, one sin? gle corps held its ground from 9 A. M. till 3:30 P. M., when a second corps arrived to its support, against four corps with which Bazaine made a desperate push to get our. Half their number J were killed or wounded, but they held firm, and the day was a victory for them, marked by the retreat of Bazaine and their own advance ?bout 3000 paces heyond their line of the morning. From these data you can Judge of the likelihood of the besieged succeeding in rhe Intended move? ment. Probably lt will not be undi after this effort shall h ive been made and failed, as f?ll, I presume, it must, that Paris Itself will be ready to "accept the situation"-the inevitable I lt ls with sadness of heart for poor France that I say it. Daring Exploit of a. German Spy. A Paris letter in the London Times Rays "that Gei man spies, and daring ones, too, do penetrate Into Paris, ls quite certain, for the other day I myself saw one under somewhat peculiar circum? stances. It was at CourceHes, where I had gone, intending to leave Paris by the porte ot that name, on my way to Asnieres. Hearing several she ts flied, on turning round I saw half a dozen Gardes Mobile peppering away apparently at a stack of chimneys oo the top of a very tall house facing the railway. A more attentive Inspection, however, discovered to me a man In military uni? form, holding a bine flag in one hand and a red flag in the other, and wearing in front of him a long apron painted dnll red, with the narrow white markings to resemble the brick-work of the neighboring chimneys, between which he was crouched. He had, lt seems, been observed, waving the flags in ques? tion, and had thus become the target of the Gardes Mobile, all of whom, however, fired wide of their mark. In an Instant from the time when I first observed him he had slid down the long slated roof, and, clinging to the stone cornice, had dropped Into the Iron balcony of the floor be? neath, and disappeared through one of the win? dows. The Gardes Mobile at once obtained ad? mission to the house-a very large one, with, ap? parently, all its apartments occupied-which they searched from top to bottom for npward of an hour, without, however, encountering the smallest trace of the daring Prussian officer-fer so he was pronounced to be-who had signalled for his comrades in a populous quarter of Paris in broad daylight. A -Masonic Thunderbolt. A tew days ago"the ne^w^apeTS^utSTrJTrred a"cT tation Issued by the Masonic Lodge of the Orient or Paris against Reverend Brother William, King I of Prussia, as a traitor to Freemasonry. The King took no notice of this citation; so he was tried as contumacious, and condemned to ex? communication. In connection with this M. Vic? tor Hugo's newspaper, the Rappel, publishes the following: "Brother William ls now out of the pal''of the law. All Freemasons are authorized to assatt't him and to inflict upon him capital punishment. It remains to be seen how the sen? tence will be carried ont. A Freemason, In whose presence a doubt was expressed as to the serious-, ness or Bach a condemnation, replied, 'Do not lauch; the sentence of the Masonic tribunal Is of such a dreadful nature that Bonaparte undertook the Italian war solely to retrieve himself from the excommunication pronounced against him by the lodges of Naples and Milan. Planorl and Orslnl were Freemasons.' " The Shooting of Sentries ls apparently carried on to a horrible degree In t!ie lines befo: c Paris. Dr. Russell declares that there has never been so much or sentry engage raents as In this siege; they take "pot shot*-," and kill and wound all they can at the outposts on Loth sides. Thev are at it all day and night long. The Prussians understand soldiering too well to like this object? less loss of lire and waste or ammunition, but they must fire when Bred upon. When the nights are clear there ls a continual popping gojlng on. In this the chnssepots have the best of It; but as only portions of the French corps are armed with that weapon, the needle-gun exceeds the general average of the French arms, and establishes an equilibrium lu the weapons, which is destroyed again by .he superior skill and practice of the Prussians. The Commissariat of the German forces before Paris ls thus describ? ed by the correspondent of the London Standard: Every army corps has five provision columns, consisting of 16J wagons, soo horses, 490 men, and io officers. In addition to all these there are Uor-es, men and wagons for a Held bakery, and a certain number of surplus horses to be used in case of need. The 160 wagons are supposed to carry provisions for every man in the corps for three days, aud as they are emptied they return to the rear to be again replenished at the maga? zines, which are established at convenient points, and are kept full partly by means of wagons and horses hired, or pb'alned by requisition In the country, and partly by the railway. Balloon Telegraphs. Dr. Jules Guerln recently laid before the Aca? demy of Sciences at Paris two schemes for main? taining telegraphic communication between Pa? ris and the provinces by means of balloons. The first consists la sending up a captive balloon and paying ont a telegraph wire from lt by means of or arree balloon, until, the latter reaches the ground. The intermediate portion or the wire would bc kept In i he air at the desired height by a series of small balloons attached to lt at a dis? tance from each other. The 'second plan is a wire enclosed m a tube. The latter, having a se? ries of intersections ailed with gas, would con? stitute a kind of tubular balloon, which would, as in the former case, be paid out by a captive bal? loon, and would follow the free balloon until the latter reached the desired destination. . Thc French Prisoners arc not only to be employed lo large numbers on farms and In Industrial establishments, aa is al? ready the case in many Instances, but in small concerns, so as to supply. the scarcity of labor canted by the war In naudicraft and other occu? pations. The remuneration ls fixed at half a franc a day, beside board and lodging. The brew? ers and bakers of Cologne have already selected assistants, and the Cologne Gazette has already seen a French soldier employed In a brewery, having donned a jacket and apron over his uni? form-. Vii? German -Wagoners attach* to the army have addressed a petition to the Klug or Prussia, praying for dUmlSSlU. They urge that they have been employed ten weeks with their vehicles coo miles awayTrom home, that both themselves and their horses are exhausted, and that their agricultural iJutles a^ very urgent. Having failed in their representa tions to the military authorities, they have ventured to appeal to the King personally. Hankering after Horse. The Prussian medical (.taff at Metz complain, do what they will, thc cannot break the French con? valescents of their craving for horseflesh. They will eat lt, notwithstanding that they are receiv? ing rations or mutton. The doctors oppose their ealing horseflesh, because they think that the en? tire change of diet will operate as much-as any? thing lu effecting a cure. About 1 o'clock on Friday morning a Ore broke ont at the beautiful suburban residence of Rev. James P. Boyce, In the extreme northeastern part of Greenville. It proved to be a large two story wooden building, used partly as a kitchen, rooms for servants, Ac, adjacent to the family mansion. The night was very stormy, and the Are distant: but our fire engines were brought into operation as promptly as possible, and by vigorous and weU-dlrected efforts, the mansion and sourroundlng bindings were saved, but the building on Ure was entirely consumed, LOSS $2690. insured for $ioeo. . MILITARY GOVERNMENT., WASHINGTON, November 29.' General Hal leek, rho commanda the division or tbe South, is opposed to tbe employment of re? gular troops Instate elections, except in extreme cases, and then after the State pow cris exhaust? ed, lia lie ck writes to the Department here that he ls assured by Federal civil officers that the'em ployment of troops ia the execution of Judicial pro? cesses and enforcing the revenue laws seems to in? crease rather than diminish the necessity or re? sorting to such force In civil matters. Haileck further says that the indisposed become more and more exasperated at being coerced by a force, which they think has been unconstitutionally employed against them, and the better disposed relax their efforts to punish local crimes on the plea that this duty now devolves upon the mill - tary. . ? ?.-rrj, ta .
