' - I tSSSSSSSSSSSSBSBSSSSaBBSSSSS COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, January 21, 1866. ?Tile South." Tho Ricnuiond Dispatcli says that portion of the country, known as "the South" embraces 850,000 square milos, and is aa large as Great Bri? tain, France, Austria, Prussia and Spain, with a most productive soil ami genial climate; with staple pro? ductions which none of those great countri? can grow; with 3,000 miles of coast line, indented with bays and crowded with islands; and its vast centre watered by the Mississippi, into whose bosom are poured 36,000 miles of tributary streams. The total agricultural productions of thc United States for 1850 amount? ed to 1,104,000,000; of this sum, the North produced, in round numbers, 6,400,000, and the South 5,600,000. Population of the North in 1860 was 13,527,220; population of the South, 9,664,656. The North had a defi? ciency in 1850 of agricultural produc? tions to the value of $6,105,594; the South a surplus o? $124,855,712; or each person at the North consumed thirty-eight cents more than he pro? duced; at the South, each person pro? duced $12.90 more than he consumed. - These facts are now referred to for thc purpose of showing how idle it is to despond of the futui'e of a region which possesses such enormous ele? ments of natural wealth, and whose exports at the period above mentioned were three times as great as those ol the whole United States ten years after the Revolutionary war. Thc recuperative powers of such a regior must be perfectly incalculable. With the introduction of capital andimmi gration from the North and fron Europe, all traces of the late war wil be obliterated in five j ears. Even year that succeeds will witness such ! march of prosperity, and populatioi as even the "Western States have neve - eqnalled. With the removal of slave ry, the energies and enterprise of th whole world will seek a field of actioi within our borders. If we will oui, give up the barren pursuits of poli tics, and turn in to hard work, th end of the present century will se the South the most prosperous an densely populated portion of th AlffCXlClVIIXVtjJUUUC. The Tribune's Wellington speen "^^^-^-^Z^tf??L^ letter frcviu tTTistworthy source, received froi Paris, states that the legislate bodies of the French Empire will a semble about the 18th instant, ar that the Emperor, in his opening a dress, will express amicable ai peaceful sentiments towards tl United States, and unless, in tl meanwhile, the relations of the t\ countries become hostile by menac on the question of honor, he w promise to evacuate Mexico promptly as practicable. Rev. J. J. O'Connell deliven a lecture in Hibernian Hall, Charle ton, on Tuesday evening last, whit is highly spoken of by the press that city. The Nexos says: REV. J. J. O'CONNELL'S LKCTITBE. It gratifies us exceedingly to a nounce the fact that our predictio as to the large audience that mu necessarily have been attracted Hibernian Hall last night, were mo than fulfilled. The Hall was crowd to overflowing with an audience select as large. The distinguish lecturer was introduced to the t dience by our worthy Lieutenai Governor, the Hon. W. D. Port? in such b?antjJWf and approprh larifT?i?d. ' 1 G-s7f^?orter can e\ contd gentleman wnsl^^f the voiis. On the stage were fetV^y c ? - our most respected and distinguish e ^ citizens; and not only were there.rf presen ta ti ves of various Christia denominations, but we also observed seated almost directly behind th speaker, a reverend and gray-haire Elder of the Israelit!sh Church. A we had predicted, all came forwar to do honor to the lecturer, and len their aid to the charitable cause. Th discourse itself was a master-piece c eloquence and profound reasoning Mr. O'Connell is a close thinker, logical reasoner, and withal as pei feet an orator as we have ever enjoye the pleasure of hearing. It does nc become us to touch upon the subjec of the discourse, which was of ivzrzlj religious character, but w cannot, refrain horn observing thii Mr. O'Connell expounded and d< fended in a masterly style the doc trine of his Church. The entire ai dience were wrapped i' attenth admiration from the first word < the discourse to the last, and all wer away delighted with the intellectu treat they had enjoyed. Gen. Kirby Smith was in Alexai ?Ilia on Friday last. University o* 80 ut ll Carolin?. MESSRS. EDITORS: It will be of in? terest tc tho people of the State to know how their most distinguished institution is prospering. By an Act of the Legislature, the system of in? struction has been very materially changed, and the South Carolina Col? lege, within whose walls some of lier greatest men, who grappled with the abstrusest questions of the pulpit and the State, formed their minds, is now the University of South Carolina. Thus the collegiate course of instruc? tion has been abolished, which needs to be particularly noticed. The statutes, as adopted by tho University of South Carolina, are, with little exception, the same which govern the University of Virginia. Thomas Jefferson, the celebrated pro? jector of the latter institution, brought forward the plea, in favor of the plan he proposed, that a student who could not enter, being rejected on examina? tion, and afterwards should distin? guish himself, was an argument that he should have been admitted with? out an examination. The statutes of the South Carolina College required a student to stand an examination before entrance, and, if able to enter, he was compelled to go through a j prescribed course before graduation. I During the recent war, all young men capable of bearing arms were called into the field, and thus their studies were necessarily neglected. On their return, they who had originally had a course of education in view, and whose fortunes were not too shat? tered, wished to renew their strides. They could not enter the South Ca? rolina College because of the exami? nation, and possibly on account of the prescribed course of Latin and Greek; and here Jefferson's argument can be applied as exactly illustrative of the condition of these young men. The university system entirely reme? dies all these inconveniencies. No examination is required of applicants, and the student is allowed to select any course of study he maj' choose. Thus a student who has neglected his studies, even for four years, may take such studies as he may be able to prosecute, by degrees take up others, and finally go through a course as high as that which required gradua? tion when the institution was a Col? lege-nay, higher. Another objec? tion to the College was the length of time requisite for graduation, which was four years, if entering the Fresh? man Class. Now, a student who ap? plies himself can take a diploma on any branch iu two years. What is also to be noticed in the university bv ^vhich a student's knowledge if 'determined-whether he shall or shall not advance. The Faculty now consists of sis professors, two of whom have beec recently elected-Hon. R. W. Barn well and General E. P. Alexander, f 11 distinguished member of Genera Robert E. Lee's staff. Prof. Barn well was, in former years, Presiden' 11 of the College, and is widely kn O wi as a distinguished politician, having been Senator in Congress. Profes sors Joseph LeConte, John LeConte Reynolds, LaBorde and Hivers ar* known as gentlemen of high standing 11 and ability. The exercises have com menced; the number of students at tending is somewhat small, but b increasing. The University bids fai: to be one of the finest institution South. It is expected, ere long, thu there shall be a school of law, am also medicine, which will- put it 01 [ I the same footing with the University of Virginia. May South Carolins cherish her University, if not her Col lege. * ROEGUM.

REPORTED CONSPIRACY FOR THE RESCUE OK MR. DAVIS.-From parties who came up on the Norfolk boat last evening we learn that there was much excitement at Fortress Monroe, on Sunday night, in consequence of an order trebling the sentinels and raising the draw-bridges of the for? tress. All ex-Confederates there- the agent of the National Express among the rest-were, by the order of the Sec? retary of War, to leave with an hour's notice. A discovered conspiracy for the rescue of Mr. Davis was the alleged cause for this. f Richmond Dispatch, 10///. C(>ri( <.i)oniU nce o? the P>lcenl?, WASHiNOT-on, January 15, 1866. I learn, on the moat reliable authority, that tho Congress are getting more deter? mined in their radical policy. Many of the member? went home during thc Christ? mas recess. They found their people at fever heat, and they have como back much fiercer than they went. Tho difficulties around the President thicken every day. The resolution of the House of Representa? tives, passed a few days since, announcing that the army should not bo withdrawn from tho South until tho sense of Con? gress was first had on the subject, is ono of great significance. If anything api>er tains exclusively to the Executive, it is the control of the army, and the regulation of military movements. Yet, the radical ma? jority in the House evince a disposition to tear from him this thc greatest flower of his prerogative. As a commentary on this resolution, I learn that tho President has countermanded an order, previously given, for the withdrawal of a portion of thc army from Virginia. The Senate have given the Committee on Reconstruction authority to bring persons and pipers before it. This ?ill insure a long story of great outrages at the South, and thus an excellent campaign document will be prepared for the next elections^ Th6 business of amending the Constitution is becoming an epidemic. The Senator from Oregon, Williams, wants a little clause of his own hatching put in thc Constitu? tion, prohibiting the Congress from over paying for emancipated slaves. Trumbull's bill-introduced in the Se? nate, to enlarge thc powers of the Freed? man's Bureau-has a clause; of much inte? rest to your sca-ishmd planters. His bill ! provides, in tho fifth section, "that thc 1 possessory titles, granted in pursuance of Major-General Sherman's special held or? der, dated at Savannah, January IC, 18C5, are hereby confirmed and made valid." It is impossible to say whether this bill will become, a law or not. Trumbull is not con? sidered an extreme radical, and the bill coming from him makes it look more alarming. Gen. Howard's report, as Chief of tho Freedman's Bureau, represents that the negroes arc subject to more outrages in South Carolina than any other State. That is a very bad reputation to have here, and calculated to do the State much harm. Another bill of Senator Trumbull's, to secure to the freedmen South their civil rights, is the special order for to-day. I take it for granted that some such bill will pass. The Secretary of War, in a recent official opinion, states," as Ids judgment, that war still exists in this country, though hostili? ties have ceased. On thc oilier baud, Rever? dy Johnson quotes, in bis recent speech in the Senate, from the decision of tho Su? preme Court, to show that Congress could not declare war against a State. In con? nection with this opinion of the Attorney General, that war still exists, is an impor? tant order from tien. Grant, to tile effect that all persons connected with tho army, or acting undermilitary orders, are exempt from the jurisdiction of the State Courts. 'l here was some pretence of an assassin undertaking to kill Senator Wade. It seems a ferocious fellow, as the account goes, "scowling horribly," demanded Wade's recommendation jfyX an office, or ohice-teekers, bnk tb?% man wa- certainly I more demonstrative than his tribe gene l I rally is. The Chronicle cried out that this was another manifestation of the Wilkes Booth spirit. But it turned out that the so-called assassin was a drunken rowdy from Massachusetts, who had been turned out of a situation at the Navy Yard. Tho snow is now falling, which is about tho seventh snow we have had her? already this winter. OBSERVER. " In the United States Senate, on January 19th, the credentials of Wm. P. Marion, Senator elect froti Flori? da, were presented and laid on the table. I The Bill proposing to enltrge tho powers of the Freedman's Bureau wits discussed and an amendment thereto adopted, making v^lid the titles to Southern lands gives to ne? groes under the orders issded by General Sherman at Savamnh, but t j only for three years, instead of for 1 ever, as originally designed. In the House, Mr. Demi;?, of Connecticut, made a speech, n?:in taining that the Government has t?e right to treat the lately rebellion. States as conquered territory, and mentioned a series of gu?rante/ which he thought should bc eT/"?^jj of the people before the f&onid . , become entitled to re-f Ration . ! amongst which was * i,er/ec/ eVT1 - j ity of blacks an'1 Ultea before tho , j ^t??mith, of Kentucky, endorsed ! I xesident Johnson's reconstruction policy, and denied that the Southern States were ever out of the Union. He claimed that they should be rep? resented, as they were obedient to the laws of the United States. FROM MEXICO.-News from Hava- ? na says that advices from Mexico are unfavorable towards the Imperial cause. Thc inhabitants of Monterey feel no security in the Government of Maximilian. "Over thirty thousand ! I troops are said to have left the city in ! three days. Sindola alone remains in tho hands of the Imperialists. The New York Herald's Mexican despatch reports the arrival of the French Admiral Didalot, to have a conference with Bazaine on the rela? tions of France, Mexico and the United States. It is rumoredgthat a large squadron will soon follow. The object of this movement is variously stited. Jolucca, the ancient Capital of the Empire, has been taken by the Libe? rals. The Mobile Advertiser learns that a band of outlaws captured the steamer Lilly, with one thousand bal^s of cotton, at McIntosh Bluff, lauded the passengers in the woods, and took the boat up th? Tombigbeo River. The steamer Trenton, with 1,090 bales of cotton, was burned on the Washita River last Wednesday. Crew and passengers saved. "WASHIKGTON ly EM H.-Tho groot bugbear of the day is repudiation of the Federal debt. Though there is little cause of apprehension of this disaster, yet the House, at the open? ing of the session, guarded against it by a declaratory resolution, which was adopted with only ono dissenting voice. But an alarm has been raised, not so much on jcouut of any fear that the South will come into Con? gress with a force equal to the task, and a disposition to use their strength, or the greater and newer dread of a rising faction in the North. There is said to be ar. organization now in embravo for making repudiation a political issue in the North. It com? mences in an influential quarter, where political measures of moment have befo re arisen. The receipts from the Internal Kevenue yesterday amounted $751, 500. The auction sale of accumulations at the Dead Letter office, which has been for some two week or more in progress near Tenth street, on the avenue, has come to a close. More than G,000 packages were sold, thc; prices at which they were knocked down ranging from one cent up in some cases perhaps to fifty dollars, averaging possibly a dollar each. The most of the packages consisted of the meanest stuff in the form of jewelry. Several hundreds of poor watches were sold and some few good ones. ?li sorts of clothing, from a military boot to a lace collar, good, bad and indifferent, new and old, made and unmade, for men, women, children, and babies, and every conceivable memento that wives, mothers, sisters, and sweethearts, could pack into the mail bag for friends in thc war, were represented in thc collection. The department of patent medicines was especially full, comprising in all 235 packages, and embracing a specimen, of more or hiss value, of almost every? thing in that interesting line of bnsi ? ness.-National Intelligencer. - ia? The Sonate of Kansas has pasaed a resolution favoring the trial, con? viction and hanging of Jefferson Davis and others equally guilty lead? ers of the rebellion. It is stated that many Louisiana planters have secured a sufficient number of white laborers to cultivate their plantations. During the debate in the House on the 19th on granting civil rights to ; negroes, an altercation occurred be ! tween members. The lie was given ' and returned. The House adjourned ( in great confusion. Brigadier-General King, Command , ant at Augusta, while riding near tho I city, accompanied by his wife and another lady and gentleman, wm j stopped by highwaymen and robbet I of three horses. i -i" - T ""r--..1 ,,f West.

Another break in the ice occurred at SK Louis, late on Friday night, causing the water to sweep down stream with great force, and four more steamers, aggregating a value of $135,000 were sunk, and the wrecks of previous disasters were carried away by the resistless current.
