Moore, Abbeville C. H. Julius Poppe, Anderson C. H. , j London Letter. We extract the following paragraph from the London correspondence of the Bichmond Times: In the first part of this week, the European public was looking with unusual interest to hear what the Emperor of the French would say at the opening of the French Legisla? ture, on the Mexican question, the refusal of the United States Govern? ment to recognize Maximilian, "even if the French troops should be with? drawn from Mexico," having led some to believe that some very important announcement would be made. by Louis Napoleon. "Well, the "Spiry nx of the Tuilleries" has spoken, and what does it amount to? In cautious phrases, the Emperor speaks sen? tences which remind us of one of Oliver Goldsmith's political maxims, "The use of language is to conceal our*thoughts, " (a sentence sometimes erroneously credited to Talleyrand,) and forthwith the elaborate leaders of the London press, from the wea? thercock Times down to the saintly Star, explain the words in their own way, and come to diametrically oppo? site conclusions. We then leam from the same journals that the Emperor has, in hot haste, despatched arnen voy to the Court of Maximilian, on a secret mission, which was of so much delicacy that it was not to be com? mitted to paper. The envoy was not even to have any credentials to show that the Emperor had sent him, but to go at once to the newly-made Mexican Emperor, and to make known to him viva voce the wishes of Napoleon the Third. One or two things, at any rate, seem to be clear enough from the Emperor's speech i. e., he regards the Mexican Empire as "un fait accompli," and that he does not mean, at present, to tell the world what he will do in case his pet scheme for the revival of the fortunes of the Latin race in the Western He? misphere should be disturbed by Bro? ther Jonathan's legions. In connec? tion with thia Mexican question, the extravagant claims of a certain section of the American press have recently afforded subjects of discussion for English newspaper writers, and the message of the Governor of Ohio, 3noted in the Bichmond Times, of lie 2d instant, is cited with approba? tion, as embodying the most reasona? ble view of the matter. These writers also quote the speech of Calhoun, de? livered in the United States Senate, on the 15th of May, 1848, in opposi? tion of the views of the modem poli? tical fanatics on this subject. President Johnson has been win? ning golden opinions from nearly all classes of English politicians, since his first mishap on the day of his in? auguration, and it is a matter of no little amusement, to men who have a memory, to read the words of com? mendation which some of the aristo? cratic British papers use concerning one who was once reviled by them as "the drunken tailor of Tennessee." It is now a matter of admiration with them that one of the Southern "mean whites" should be able to write such State papers and apply himself to the herculean task of re? construction" with such decided ability. And they ask if American affairs are so well managed by men of this class, what would the country be if it were governed by its best men? I hope President Johnson will not allow his administration, which has thus far been characterized by so much humanity and common sense, to be forever disgraced, as it will be before the roost thoughtful men of England, of Europe and the world, if through the intimidation of North? ern radicals he should suffer himself to swerve from that lenient policy to the late Confederates, which he has thus far pursued, and especially if he should countenance harsh measures k towards that illustrious but unfortu jate gentleman who, while conduct K the affairs of the Confederacy, the admiration of the whole ci vi 1 kworld. j? are 580 political prisoners at MEXICO.-President Johnson is re? ported to be far from satisfied with the recent ambiguous expressions of the French Emperor relative to the evacuation of Mexico, and it is ex? pected that he will shortly submit a statement of fact regarding Mexican affairs to Congress, and suggest to j the members appropriate legislation. At all events, the President's deter? mination never to recognize Maxi? milian's Government may be regard? ed ns unalterable. It is also reported in Washington that a military com? mission will in a few days proceed thence to the Rio Grande to investi? gate the circumstances connected with the late capture of Bagdad. Present Juarez was still at El Paso on the 17th of January, and had not up to that time been molested there by the imperialists, as we are inform? ed by official advices received in Washington. He was much pleased with President Johnson's message, and especially that portion of it re? ferring to Mexico. The Governor of Coahuila has expressed his approval of the extension of Juarez's term of office.-New York Herald. THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN IRELAND. -The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Chasel has just addressed a letter to one of the Roman Catholic members of Parliament, in which, referring to the suggested t endownment of his church, he affirms his determination to support the voluntary system and that alone. He would, he says, op? pose anv measure that would make the Roman Catholic 'bishops and priests in Ireland stipendiaries of the State in any degree whatever. Dr. Leary states states his belief that by this declaration he expresses the sen? timents of the bishops and priests of his church in Ireland. I THE HEALTH OF PRESIDENT JOHN? SON.-The editor of tl "louisville Journal, alluding to a rv. t inter? view with the President, ?: We expected to find tho Presiden c weary, and worn, and haggard. Never were we sg much mistaken. He was in the finest and most vigorous health, his face as fresh as in its earliest man? hood. It would have been evident to any one, seeing as we saw him, that he was a firm, resolute, self-poised man, confident, but not vainly, nor arrogantly confident on his own strength. His will is like his frame, that is of iron. The Indianapolis Herald has the following paragraph: The Republi? cans say John Brown's soul is march? ing on. We think, in this, they are correct. The terrible prevalence of theft, robbery, violence and murder indicate most clearly that John Brown's soul is about; yes, that old John Brown's soul is marching on. There can be little doubt of it.

Yalnable and Extensive Water Power in the City of Columbia for Sale. Ordered by the Legislature of South Caro? lina. THE undersigned Commissioners, ap? pointed by tho General Assembly of South Carolina, at its lato session, will receive bids for the valuable WATER POWER known as thc COLUMBIA CANAL, until the first day of April next. The Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and the average fall for thc first three milos is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet one inch at Bridgo street; the remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and attains a fall of twenty-five feet. Fine building sites exist between the canal and river, giving complete protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. Tho State, through the undersigned, will con? vey thc canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of wav for sixty feet on each side of thc centre of thc canal to the purchaser. Compensation to the adjacent land owners for the right of way, to be made by the purchaser, on the same just and equitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to the Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, by Act of 15th December, 1845. This pow er has been accurately surveyed by Prof. John LeContc, of the South Caro? lina University; his report, together with the Act of the.General Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and may bo obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor of Columbia. Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling tho original capacity of the canal, as re? quired by the Act, that tho power secured to Bridgo street, willie 355 horse-power, the average head being fourteen feet; and from Bridge street to its mouth 532 horse? power, with an average head of twenty-one feet, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two foot per second, thc powers would be 710 and 1,064 horse-power and if the machinery is not rmi at night, tho power may be doubled by accumulat? ing water in reservoirs. "As the supply of water," says Prof. LeConte, "which may bc turned from thc river into thc canal at its head, is almost unlimited, tho canal can bo enlarged to ac extent commensurate with tho demand foi water power. If desired, it may be made to supply water to tho extent of 5,000horse? power or more. In fact, by very simple arrangements, one-third or one-half, oi even more, of tho whole water in Broad River, might be turned into such an en? larged canal." This water power is literally within the city of Columbia. The city is now supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in the State, furnishing the produc? tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pro? visions, with lit tie expense 11 this important point. The city of Columbia is supplied with gas and good water, the climate is salubrious and healthy, being above the miasmatic region, and invites, for pleasant settlement and society merchants, artisans, mecha? nics, manufacturers and persons of for? tune and leisure. The property will be sold on the following conditions, to wit: 1st. The purchase! shall, within two years from the date o: conveyance, complete the widening and deepening of said canal to at least twice it; origininal capacity. (Its original cap; ;tj was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet a< bottom and four feet in depth; to doubh it according to Prof. LeContc's report, i will require the removal of 36,107 cubh yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards o stone to Bridge street, and from Bridgi street to its mouth 22,176 cubic vards o earth-no stone to be removed. ) That th samo shall always be kept open for boatinj purposes, free of charges, to where it i now used. (This will not interfere at al with the water power for driving machine ry, as boats only descend as far as the firs lock, near Upper street.) That the water shall not become stag nant, and that it shall not be used forothe than hydraulic purposes. That one-third of the sum bid shall b paid within thirtj days after notice of ac ceptance of bid; one-third at the expir?t io of six months therefrom, and the remair ing third at tho expiration of twelv months. Titles delivered on payment c first instalment, and that the titlo herei proposed to bo conveyed shall revert to th State, on default being made of any of th foregoing conditions, including paymer of all the purchase money. This water power with its location, in tli judgment of the Commissioners, is ui equaled by any in the State of South Can lina, and not surpassed by any in tl Southern country. Parties sending bids wUl please furnie the Commissioners with references as t the ability promptly to make good tl same. Allth^ communications may be address< to the andersigned at Columbia, S. C.
