rites COLUMBIA. Saturday Morning, February 17,1866[ "?OliUMBIA. 1865-Thc Uti* ot February-1860. " Tho return of this flay-thc f?ital| 17th of February-brings with many sad associations-many painfulj memories to the people of Columbia On this morning, in the year 1865, the sun rose upon their city,-in all itel completeness and natural beauty, andf although the sounds of war had been all around us for many hours preced-l ing, yet Columbia stood that morning! in all its fair proportions, one of .the loveliest cities in tte Union. The rising suii of the following day rose upon a mass of smoking ruins, aud a forest of chimnies throughout th entire length of the city. Thousan/lsl of houseless wanderers were seen] scattered all over our streets, our parks and. fields-the whole of tho! worldly possessions left them being] that which they had on their backs For four years we had heard of war wo had read of war-we had suffered some privations and endured some hardships, and many family circle mourned friends and relatives who had fallen on distant battle-fields but until that fearful night, the 20,000| inhabitants of Columbia had not re alized what war - was, nor the ruin1 and desolation it brings in its train We became familiar with them however, on that " disastrous night and we feel assured that not manyi witnesses of the scenes then present . ed, will ever^seek to enter upon an other conflict, that would provoke al repetition of them. The twelve months which have elapsed, since our great calamity, have seen the triumph of the arms of the Government, and through that victor}- have brought | peace to our country-a peace which we trust the Great Ruler of natfbns will not permit to be disturbed for all time to come. Hostilities have ceased on the field, and between the armies formerly arrayed against each other; and. although the "peace" we speak of is not yet perfect; although a factious majority in Congress] would still feed the baleful of sec tiona! discord, yet we have an| abiding faith in the omnipotence of al ffl?r?j&!] CW .and believe that, underf SSiaSjjg66'through the ia\ ?.^^^^Ssfi^are^^?^he firmness andi patriotism of Andrew Johnson, anaj the growing conservatism of the peo pie, the schemes of those men who! seek to keep the country disunited, will oe brought to nougat, and thai! our peyple will be one in spirit, one inl thought, and one in making the great effort not only to restore her to her former condition, but to put her on a career of greatness and prosperity, unprecedented in her own past histo ry, and unexampled in that of any . ther nation on the face of the earth. AH this can and will be accomplished, if justice, wisdom ano" patriotism' assume and hold their legitimate] sway in the councils of the nation May God speedily vouchsafe to us? the inauguration and completion o this d?sirable condition of our publi affairs. We are free to say that the people) of the States lately in revolt agains the Government of the United State have, since the cessation of hostilities, under the suggestions and direction of the Chief Magistrate of that Go vernment, and under tho conviction of duty to themselves and their conn try, come manfully up to the great worl. of restoration. Having staked! their ail upon the issue they made with the Government and lost-like a brave and true people, they have ac? cepted the result in sincerity; theyj have returned to their allegiance, it may not be cheerfully, but with an) honesty of purpose that is not doubt ed by the good and true in any sec tion, or by any whose opinion is worth having. True, there are bitter memo ries, there are blighted hopes, ther are sorrowing mourners through ont our stricken land-these are separable from war, and a i ?rave and gallant people must feel these as well as pride in the heroic deeds which have been performed in many a field of strife; yet before Heaven and in view of the nations of the earth, they have resumed their position as citi zens of the United States, and haveHg pledged to the Government thereof! their fidelity, fealty and iOlegiance, and few there be who doubt the faith? ful fulfillment of that pledge. But we must return from the field of politics. It lias been unfruitful and unprodiactive in the past, and in the future yn? bo more so. The issue is made up, and we wait with patience the result in the future. We must not yield our better judgment to professed friendly papers publish? ed at the North in our behalf. These shrewd and money-making papers are pandering to the prejudices of South? ern people, and, hoping to keep np an interest in themselves by pretending a wonderful courage aud zeal in our behalf. Strange ns it may appear, the flimsy and apparent dorice is much more successful than such char? latanism deserves. We receive every day some oridence or other cf the gullibility of our neighbors; and not unfrequently we are twitted by some simple-minded friend with, "Why don't you write like the Metropolitan Record?" Let us not be deceived. We must go t$ work. In Columbia, and through the whole track of Sherman's march, the devastation was complete. Co? lumbia probably lost between twelve and fifteen hundred buildings, on the night of the 17th of February, I860; the houses were plundered, tho iit uiates of these houses ca?st abroad, yet, since then, there are indomitable and cheering evidences of the reso? lute will of her people. To this reso? lute will-to the determined action of her people-is to be attributed all that Columbia can depend on in the 'uture. ? Thus far, with limited means, and with very depressed feelings, and with a very gloomy prospect in future, the merchante and real estate owners in our city have done well. About two lmudred buildings have replaced those destroyed, and, as a gentleman remarked to us yesterday, before five years, the city of Columbia will re? assert her rights,'and be ono of the most beautiful and attractive cities in the United States. A* cotemporary respectfully* asks, who of us does not admire the Chris? tian hero who bears the cross with? out groaning, and gazes at the world with a smile through his tears? Who of us does not turn with disgust from the desperado who attempts to catch fortune by the throat and wrest by violence from, her hands the things which she has taken from him? We have no rights, except by sufferance. We see every day how powerless we are. If fJbr:?e ot us who are without rco'oraints and responsibilities were the only members of society involved in the ruin of indiscretion, we might go our way and do as we please, and share together a common ruin. But there are thousands of women and little ones left to our keeping, whose interests are directly enlisted in all our actions, and no man is a true sol? dier and gentleman who fails to cherish them near his heart and mind. Moreover, we have a great Land and a great future. If we realize them and tend them with half the zeal we served the idols which de? luded us, we shall yet be rich, pros? perous and happy. We should not give one moment of this golden future, for all the dregs of the past; and for its sake, let us bear the present. To the people of Columbia, on this the anniversary of the destruction of their beautiful and cherished city, we offer our sincere tribute of condo? lence. We earnestly and sincerely hope that, before another return of the day, wv will be able to congratu? late them on the return of the pros? perity they deserve. A bill for the education of negroes has been introduced in the Legisla? ture of Florida. It proposes to tax negroes themselves to the amount required, the sum to bo paid into the State Treasury to be disbursed by the State and county officers. The Go? vernor endorsed the plan, and asked its reference to a joint committe. (len. Stephen Elliott, the heroic iefender of Fort Sumter, has been ;endered and accepted the appoint nent of Assistant Agent of Transpor ?tion on the Augusta branch of the South Carolina Railroad. The Genc ?al has removed his family to Aiken, ind will, in a few days, enter upon his lew field of labor. The Navy Department has official ntelligence of the recapture of the teamer Belfast, in the Tombigbee iver, and a quantity of cotton which iras recent ly taken by guerillas. The ecaptnre was made by the steam er Teutonia, under command of Acting ?faster Stanard. Five of the gue ilhw ??re captured. ( * V Crlttcl?ni: Mr. George Bancroft delivered anl address on the occasion of tho nie-T morial services in honor of the lat President, on Monday last. The Pre? sident and his Cabinet, the two| Houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and other high dignitaries,! were present. We have aol road MrJ Bancroft's address, but give the fol-l [lowing notice of it from the Rich-| mond Dispatch: The immense flourish of trnmpets with*which Mr. Bancroft's oration in memory of Mr. Lincoln was herald? ed, had led us to expect something more than a congressional speech. We confess that we have been disap-1 pointed, notwithstanding that Mr. Forney pronounces it to be a ' 'nias-J terly production." We defy any in an jj to point out in it one single new 01 striking remark concerning any the topics discussed, or even an un? usually felicitous expression of an oldj idea. He sets out with the declara? tion that "God rules in the affairs of! men"-a thought which is muchj better expressed by one of the pro? phets, and also by Dr. Watts. Hel next describes, in good style, thel growth and extent of our Republic. Then he utters n few platitudes in| regard to slavery, aristocracy, ?fcc. and quotes from some of our earlier! statesmen tho remarks which Mr. Sumner hus so often incorporated! into his speeches. Next, Mr. Ban? croft gives the history of slavery in its connection with Government questions, stopping by the way to imitate Thad. Stevens in kicking that dead hon, Chief Justice Taney, to whoso celebrated decision, and the consequences resulting from it, Mr. Bancroft ascribes tho rebellion. The rebellion brings him to Mr. Lincoln, whose character and policy Mr. Ban? croft portrays in an unobjectionable manner. This policy affecting Great. Britain, Mr. Bancroft stops to discuss her connection with the rebellion,! and repeats the stale story that shel aided the South ; and manages also to] run a parallel between Lord Palmer-] ston and Mr. Lincol ). Mr. Bancroft also discusses the Monroe doctrine and the French Emperor's Mexican policy, declaring that the Republic of Mexico must be revive?.1. In fact, he lugs in China, Russia, and the Pope of Rome, and charges that the Pope "alone, among temporal sovereigns, recognized the chief of tho Con? federate States as a President, an dj Ids supporters as a people." Mr Bancroft winds np with a most unfor? tunate allusion to George Washing^ ton and William of Orange- -lue one having for eight - years of his life stood hranuec' as a "rebel," and the other having been called to England, 'by the almost unanimous voice of her people, to drive from power the dy? nasty which had, twenty-eight years before, put an end to the "Great Rebellion" in that country. One sound doctrine is enunciated by Mr. Bancroft, namely, that the right of suffrage should be regulated by the States themselves. The oration is clothed in unexcep? tionable English ; there are few or no violations of good taste in it, either in respect of words or the manner of treating his topics; and it is on the whole a much better one than any of the gentlemen previously chosen to perform the duty would have beei likely to deliver. But we find nothing instructive in it from one end to the! other. The Charleston Courier, of the 15th, j contains the full proceedings of thel annual meeting of the stockholders! of the South Carolina Railroad Com? pany and South-western Railroad! Bank, held on the 14th inst. Thej report of the President and Directors was ordered to be printed; authority! was given them to complete the ar-j rangements recommended Arith refer? ence to the claims of foreign creditors of the company. The general conduct! sf the affairs of the road was approved, j md the recommendation of the Gen-j jral Superintendent with reference tc i joint depot in Columbia, was refer .ed to the Board. A resolution was idopted, instructing the Directors t? >ear in mind the importance of ex ending the road.to the Statt; of Ohio Che following officers wore elected for he ensuing .year: For the Bank-Jas lose, J. C. Cochran, Jas. G. Holmes 5. B. Oakes, J. McCarey, B. O'Neill ff. A. Pringle, P. J. Porcher, W. J Hagrath, E. H. Lecke, J. F. O'Neill L H. Abrahams, H. T. Hall. For th Board-Jas. Rose, A. Huger, C.

The case of ?he steamer Meteor, eized on suspicion of being a Chilian irivatcer, was up in New York, on the 3th, before the United States Dis? tict Court. An answer to the claim .as filed by W. F. Carey, as Agent sr the owners, denying all the alle ;ations._ / It is reported that three officers of tie Ninth Colored Regiment were s?assinated at Brownsv?fe recently. j AN EIJOQ?ENT DENUNCIATION OF] THAD. STEVENS.-Mr. Delano, of Ohio, is a Republican. He is sur? rounded by colleagues of tho Radical stamp. Yet he has had the manli? ness to denounce, from his place in Congress, the mad schemes of these agitators. The following sketch of Ihis remarks will afford tho reader an idea of their nature: Some months ago ho lind heard! sounded the key-note of the gentle-] |man from Pennsylvania, (Mr. Ste? vens,) that the property of 10,000,000 of people shouhl.be subject to a con? fiscation au il disposed of in part pay? aient of the national debt, for the location of the emancipated race, jand to increase the pensions of those who had suffered in the late war. He was shocked at the enunciation of t?iat universal scheme of plunderj and he felt as if America would lose her reputation before the nations of the earth if wo f.hould adopt so un? civilized a policy. But it was based jon the theory of dead States and con? quered provinces. The man who put forth that theory was not wanting in ?intellect sufficiently clear te appre? hend tho inhumanity of the proposi ?>n in all its lojrical and necessaiy| nsequences. The Duke of Alvj ecuted the decrees of a bigotcdj master with fire and sword in the Netherlands, but this gigantic schem( of plundering the South would make the ghost of Alva blush for his timidity, and admit that he was not a [robber or murderer fit to be respected jin America. He referred to Crom jwell's invasion of Ireland, and the levastation of that country, but those examples of waste, savagery, and desolation, faded into insigni? ficance before that extensive scheme of plunder proposed by n member of the American Congress." THE CONFEDERATE DEAD AT ASH? LAND.-The Richmond Republic, of the 13th inst., contains a long list of Confederate soldiers buried in the Ashland (Va.) Cemetery, from which we take the following names of South Carolinians: E. T. Moody, Co. G, Hampton Legion, April 17, 1862; L. C. Davis, Co. B. 15th S. C., May 20,1 1862; O. C. Dans, Co. -, Hamp-i ton Legion, May 2, 1862; C. Kirby,) Co. I, 13th S C., May 14, 1862; L. Madison, Co. E,?Hampton Legion,! May 7, 1862; W. Moo-, 13th S. C.,| Mav, 1862: J N liiUooii, Co. H. ?Stli S. C., May 23, 1862; E. M.| Cooper, Co. F, 13th S. C., May 22, 1862; J. F. Summers, Co. H, 13th| S. C., May 22, 1862; W. N. Simme, Co. A, 13th S. C., May, 1862; D. L. Wayne, - Rifles, S. C., May 26, 1862. _ _ _ A C AR?CATE UF.-The Richmond] Times says : WTe have seei* in private circulation! a caricature which we think is wor-f thy of a wider fame. It represents] Mr. Johnson standing on the thresh? old of the Constitution, his attitude] and expression denoting extreme anx? iety and perplexity. In the fore-l ground are two figures, a big boy and} a little one, representing respectively the North and the South. The large?j urchin is vigorously pounding thc smaller one, who is stretching his hands imploringly towards Mr. john? son and the Constitution, and strug-' gling violently to get to them. Mr. Johnson looks out upon the struggle and exclaims: "Did anybody ever seo the like! I sent that boy ont to bring his little brother in out of the cold, and now see-the child wants tc con - back and the rascal won't letl him! Ho is actually holding him out there and wallowing him in the mud] and snow!" Somebody ought to let that big boy! knew that Mr. Johnson, tired of ex-! postulating and scolding in vain, is! rapidly bearing down upon him,j armed with a long, keen birch, evi? dently intent on annoying his rearJ Ho had better straighten up, even if it costr. him his held ou thc little fel-l low. We are assured by some of th? worst boys in this city that the stoop-| ing posture is the most disadvantage? ous that can be assumed under such! circumstances. Gen. Sherman is disposed to hopeful of the future. He believes] we will come out of our present po-] litical troubles with a restored Union in due time. At Detroit, recently, ho expressed the belief that he would] never again be called upon to lead an American army in battle. We had no wish to interfere with othe: nations, and they would not dan attack us. He said further: Our national affairs will be shortly ?restored to a safe and permauen basis. Congress, when it has finished! a certain amount of talk-as all popn-B lar assemblies must-will speedily^ settle all questions. A year ago yon wero anxious for tho army which I hnd the honor to command. It had disappeared from your sight. Youj heard nothing from it, and knew not] where it was, nor where it was going. Exercise equul faith now, and rnat-j ters will come out as well. I knowl the man at the head of affairs atp Washington, and all we have to do isP to Must him and give him our heartyft ind earnest support. We certainly^ have a bright and prosperous future] before us. (ceremonies at Washington, on Mon ny, in Konoroftbe lint? Mr. Lincoln. The morning opened rather gloomy,! with muddy streets and falling rain,! but these disagreeables did not pre-? vent lucky ticket holders for seat? in| the Representative Hall from making their way to the Capitol to use them.! From the number of visitors from! Northern cities seeking seats, these! tickets were in mnch demand, and asl high as fifty dollars have been otferedj for the precious bit of pasteboard. Hackinen, too, were in demand, andi improved their opportunities, eharg-H ing from twenty-five to thirty dollars! for their vehicles, for the day, in some] leases. Whether so intended or not, the! machinery of thc ticket system servedH to pretty effectually block out the co-? lored people from the House hall.j A few wore present, among them Mr.l George T. Downing and other colored! "elegatos from the North to this city." The great nish was for the galleries,! which were pretty compactly filled byS 10 n. m. Tho portion of the floor offl the Hall devoted to the diplomaticj ?corps was also tilled early, thc Britishj Minister and Russian Minister occu? pying seats nearly in front. In thel ame vicinity, was Ge?. James Wat-| json Webb, returned from Brazil. The clapping of hands from time! to time indicated tho entrance of per-B sonages of note. Such applause was| given to Mrs. Grant, on her being! escorted to the ladies' gallery by Hon. Mr. Washburne. A little later, a hearty onnd of applause was given on the entrance of Gen. Grant, whose scat, ts it happened, was immediately in front of where Gen. Butler was seat led. Gen. Logan, John Minor Botts, Judge Advocate-General Holt were |among those noticed scated in tht range behind Gen. Grant. The funeral decorations of the Rep-I esentative Hall wo re simple and inj good taste. The clock was draped i ni )lack crape, and festoons of the samel were suspended over the Speaker's! Chair. At 12 o'clock, the House was culled! to order by Speaker Colfax, and| prayer was delivered by Rev. Mr. Boynton, Chaplain. The Speaker then read a Tatter from Secretary Se? ward, expressing his regret at his inj |ability to be present, on account of his health. At eleven minutes past 12, the "Se? nate of the United States" was an? nounced, and the members of that body were shown to their seats in tlipj centre of the Hall. Ne>t ?as an? nounced "the President and his Ca-| binet;" and they, too, were* escorted! to seats immediately in frout (to th< left) of the Speaker, all being present but Mr. Seward. Next was intro? duced "the Supreme Court of th? United States," who, draped in blacl gowns, were placed to the immediate right front of the Speaker. UponJ the entrance of each of these bodies,! the assemblage, at a rap from the| Speaker's gavel, rose until the visit? ing party was placed, when, at twe raps of the gavel, they resumed theirj eats. With the Senate, came the| oraton of the day, Hon. George Ban? croft, a slim, gold-spectacled gentle? man, of literary look, and whose hair| was q?ite closely cropped, as he usually wears it. He was shown to |seat in front of the Speaker. The audience being placed, the ex-J ercises were commenced by the per? formance, in exquisite style, by th? Marine Band, (thirty-six pieces,! headed by Professai-Scala, in person,)! of the "Miserere," from "Il Trovn-j tore. " The band was stationed in th? Hall, in the rear of the reporters' gal? lery, aiffl the mournful music pene? trated into the main hall with exqui? site, chastened effect. The President of the Senate. Hon.j L. S. Foster, then called the tw< Houses to order, andan affecting ant eloquent prayer was offered by thej Rev. Mr. Boynton, Chaplain of th? House. The orator of the day was then in-J troduced, and proceeded to read hisj address.-1 Vashington Star. - - A RADICAL ON ARTEMUS WAI:D. Tho Philadelphia Bulletin says, apro? pos of Ward's lecture for the benefit of Mrs. Davis: "Mr. Charles F. Browne, bettei known as 'Artemus Ward,' has a per? fect right to lecture for whomsoever he pleases. He is a native of New! England, and a good many of his! friends and neighbors fought and suf-Jj fered for the cause of the Union. Mr.j Browne wrote and spoke a good manyi smart things about the war during its! progress, and talked about his willing-! ness that all his relations and his! wife's relations should go to the war. Mr. Browne himself did not go, nor do we recollect ever to have heard| that, during the gloomy four years of the struggle, he ever delivered a lec? ture in aid of the Union cause, or of the great humanitarian enterprises that grew out of it, and that were] designed for the relief of our gallant soldiers. Mr. Browne, is making professional trip through the South. We have heard of him lecturing atj Memphis, at New Orleans, at Savan? nah, and lastly at Charleston, S. C.! We have also seen a Southern news-l paper acknowledgment of thc re-| eeipt of $350 as the proceeds of his lecture for tho benefit of Mrs. Jeffer-I 3on Davis." Nine students have been dismissed! rom Bethany College, Virginia, foi riving a tin-pan concert to General irlams, because he delivered a Re >ublican speech and extolled th? ?olored man. i Xjocal Ifcexme*.

TUE i?rnNiNo or COLUMBIA.-An inter? esting account of the "Sack and Destruc? tion of the City of Columbia. S. C.," ha?' just been issued, m pamphlet form, from tho Phoenix steam power pren?. Orders can be tilled to any extent. We were much pleased, yesterday after - jnoon, at receiving a visit from Henry Spar nick, Esq., of the Chorleston ( darter, who is taking a short rest from his editorial labors. We wish bim a pleasant trip. "THE CIRCUS IS COMINO."-According to Bill Arp's idea, we are to have one of the very beat evidences of reconstruction "the circus is coming." Caf-'ello's "Great Show," as it is called, is to give soveral ex? hibitions in this city, on Levy's lot, about the 26th inst. Thc mero announcement will bo sufficient, wo verily believe, to fill thc pavilion for a week at least. TUE COLDEST. -Yesterday morning was the coldest experienced in this latitude during the present winter. Water in bed? room pitchers -waa frozen to a solid mass, and after ll o'clock a. m., we saw some water poured on a ' table, which froze in less than one minute. In the Phoenix office, water thrown on the tjipes prepara? tory to'distribution, froze into a sohd mass before a handful was distributed. Such an instance is, wo believe, unparalleled in thc South. Wc have heard of Northern ale freezing yesterday morning in the pipes leading to the pump, and we should not wonder if nome of the whiskey they sell herc should be found frozen this morn? ing. It would be somewhat of a blessing. WEEKI.I FAMILY PAPER.-We have com? menced the publication of a family paper, ?entitled "27ie Weekly Gleaner-A Home Companion.'" Tt is double thc size of the Phir.nix, and contains the cream of tho news, miscellaneous matter, editorials, stories, etc., in the daily and tri-weekly publications. Subscription price $4 per annum. Rpecimen_cnpie? sent on appli? cation: "There will bo an interval of two weeks before the publication of our second* number, in order to allow those wishing io subscribe ample timt> to procure the first number and establish themselves on our mail books. FIRE.- Our community, for the first time since the great conflagration a year ago, was aroused by an alarm of fire, yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock. The fire origi? nated in the dwelling house of Col. J. T. Sloan, on the corner North of the South Carolina University. The first parties to the rescue were a detachment of the gar? rison, led by Col. Haughton, who, under his direction, did good service in putting out the fire and guarding the property taken from the houses. Tho damage to the bouse, carpets, furniture, Ac, will not exceed four or five hundred dollars. Tho fire department of the city was promptly on the spot, and rendered valuable assist? ance. The freedmen were very efficient on thc occasion, and deserve great credit. The tire was accidental, but had it occur? red at night, there is little doubt but that ithc dwelling bouse would have been con? sumed. We had understood that some [alarm aiguiil would be sounded from the 'city and church bolls on the occasion of any fire. There was no alarm rung thin morning, and we suggest that prompt arrangements be made, so that the tire de? partment, at least, may be notified. Will Inot our municipal authorities attend to ?this matter? NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.- attention i? call id to thc following advtirlisenieuta, which jin- published this morning fo. the first jtimc: Wm. C.

THE FENIAN MOVEMENT.-The New York News, of Tuesday, says: One of the largest meetings ever held in the Cooper Institute gathered last evening, in response to a call for an expression of American feeling in relation to the present Fenian move? ment for tho liberation of Ireland. There were thousands at the doors who could not gain admittance, so dense was the throng inside. Speeches were made by the Reverend Father Curley, the Honorable Charles C. Spencer, the Honorable Fernando Wood, George Francis Train, Esq., Mr. Gillan, and explanatory remarks were made by G. B. "Doran Killian. Thu speakers endorsed the Fenian movement, and took the ground that is soon a? the first gun shall have been fired, our Government should openly declare its sympathy for the Fenian cause.
