Burnet, ex-Presi? dent of the former republic of Texas, has published a notice calling upon nil who have been victims of the op? pression of the Freedmen's Burean in that State to forward the evidence to him, to be forwarded to President Johnson, who will reprimand them. The demand for laborers is greater than the supply, and the planters are seeking for freedmen. It is stated that more cotton is being planted in some sections of the State than ever before, under the impression that it \rUl not be less than twenty-five cents a pound for several years to come. A singular disaster occurred on the New York Central Railroad, a few days ago. One train ran off the track, and two others, coming from opposite directions, ran into the wreck, and were in turn shattered. SHOVELS & SP&DES+ i> A DOZ. COLLINS' AXES. 10 doz.

Jan 27 Imo* Valuable and Extensive Water Power in the City of Columbia for Sale. I Ordered by the legislature of South Caro? lina. THE undersigned Commissioners, ap? pointed by the General Assembly of South Carolina, at its late session, will receive bids for thc valuable WATER POWER known as thc COLUMBIA CANAD, until the first day of April next. Thc Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and the average fall for the first three miles is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet one inch at Bridge street; tho remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, ana attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine building sites exist hetweon the canal and river, giving complete protection to build? ings and machinery rrom freshets. The State, through the undersigned, will con? vey thc canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of way for Bixtj feet on each side of the centre of the canal I to tho purchaser. Compensation to the j adjacent land owners for tho right of way, I to be made by thc purchaser, on the same just and equitable terms that the right oi way was conveyed to tho Greenville ann Columbia Railroad Companv, hy Act ot 15th December, 1845. This power has been accurately surveyet by Prof. John LeConte, of tho South Caro lina University; his report, together witt the Act of the Genoral Assemhiy and tb.ii advertisement, has been printed, and mai bo obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes Esq., Mayor of Columbia, j Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as re quired by tho Act, that the power secure( to Bridge street will be 355 horse-power the average head being fourteen feet; an< from Bridge street to its mouth 532 horse power, wits average head of twenty-Mi feet, and a current of one foot per second With a current of two feet per second, th powers would be 710 and 1,064 horse-powoi and if the machinery is not mn at night the power may he doubled by accumul?t ing water in reservoirs. "As the supply of water," says Pro) LeConte, "which may bc turned from th river into the canal at its head, is almos unlimited, the canal can he enlarged to a extent commensurate with the demand fo water power. If desired, it may be mad to supply water to the extent of 5,000 h or si power or moro. In fact, by very simpl arrangements, one-third or one talf, c i even more, of tho whole water in Brea River, might be turned into such an er larded canal." This water powgr is literally within th city of Columbia. Thc city is now supplie by "railroads penetrating nearly every Dh trict in thc State, furnishing the produ< tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pr< visions, with little oxpense at this importar point. The city of Columbia is supplied with ga and good water, the climate is salubrior and healthy, being above the miasmal' region, and invites, for pleasant settlemei and society, merchants, artisans, meehi nies, manufacturers and persons of fo: tune and leisure. Tho property will he sold on the followin conditions, tc" wit: 1st. Thc purchasi shall, within two years from the dato i conveyance, complete tho widening an deepening of said canal to at least twice i origininal capacity. (Its original capacit was fifteen feet wide at mp, eight feet i bottom and four feet in depth; to doub it according to Prof. LeConte's report, will recmire tho removal of 36,107 cub yards of earth, and 3,200 cubio yards "stone to Bridge street, and from Bridj street to its mouth 22,176 cubic yards earth-no stone to bc removed.) That tl samo shall always be kept open for boath purposes, free of charges, to where it now used. (This will not interfere at ( with the water power for driving machin ry, as boats only descend as far as the fir lock, near Upper street. ) That the water shall not become sta nant, and that it shall not housed foroth than hydraulic purposes. That one-third of tho sum bid shall paid within thirty days after notice of a ceptance of bid; one-third at theexpirati of six months therefrom, and tho remai ing third at tho expiration of twel months. Titles delivered on payment first instalment, and that the title here proposed to be conveyed shah revert to t State, on default being made Of any of t foregoing conditions, including payme of all the purchase money. This water power with its location, in t judgment of the Commissioners, is u equaled by any in the State of South Cai lina, and not surpassed hy Tiny in t Southern country. Parties sending bids wUl please furni tho Commissioners with references as the ability promptly to mako good t same. All the communications may be address to the undersigned at Colombia, S. C.
