COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, February 18,1866, Oar Out J - T??e painful recollections which we alluded to, yesterday, almost prevents us from saying anything this morn? ing. We must, however, write a few lines. To our young men, we presume to give a word of advice, and we give it knowingly. Get to work, and work with energy and industry to develop our resources; and the rich rewards of peace will be yours. We do not give the advice without experience. Work, woi-k, should be the motto of all now, and only in this way can we hope to retrieve our broken fortunes, and restore o?r.Iormer-prosperity. We cite for' their'encouragement the examples of R. E. Lee, President of a College; Joseph E. Johnston, President of the National Express Company; Gen. Beauregard, Super? intendent of the New Orleans Rail? road; Gen. Wade Hampton, and a dozen "others, who have entered upon agricultural employments. These have all done well, and labor has been dignified by their accession to its duties. Let us not despair. Work-earnest, faithful work-will do more for us than the most eloquent remarks of orator or editor. The example of the gallant Elliott, -who defended Fort Sumter to the last, taking a position on the South Carolina Railroad, is one of the most effective we could quote. Goon AJPPKOPBIA.TT.ON.-The Legis? lature of Tennessee has recently passed a bill loaning the Memphis and Ohio Railroad Company $400, 000, to enable it to rebuild the bridge at the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers, and put the road in thorough repair to Paris. . ALABAMA.-A number of loyal Alabamians have arrived at "Washing? ton,, for the purpose of representing to the President the condition of affairs in Alabama. They say that the State officers, from Gov. Patten down, use the influence of their posi? tion to oppress and persecute the Union men of the State, whose con? dition is much worse than at any time during the rebellion. The New York Times, of the 12th instant, says: A gentleman who ar? rived in this city last evening, direct from Texas, by the Galveston steam? er-and whose means of information are unsurpassed-assures us that the cotton crop of that State, for the pre? sent year, will exceed 600,000 bales. The industrial question in Texas is rapidly finding a solution in the pro? fitable labor contracts which are en? tered into. There is an entire ab? sence of all political excitement. The negroes of the State are in perfect and blissful ignorance of the attempts going on in Washington to make them politicians, and it will take tons of Senatorial speeches to waken up any class of the Texan population on any subject not immediately bearing on the production of wealth. This may be a melancholy prospect for the political "Stiggins," with his reformatory schemes; but it suits the views of both the laborer and his employer, in Texas, for the time. They are going to make money in that section of the country. If other cotton-growing States do half as well as Texas, (in proportion to their in? dustrial strength,) the cotton crop this year will be more than doable tho ordinary estimate of its amount. Then comes the general tumble. Even now the signs unmistakably in* dicate the fall that must come. A very learned and compassionate judge, in Texas, on passing sentence oh John Jones, who had been con? victed of murder, concluded his re? marks as follows: The fact is, Jones, that the court did not intend to order you to be executed before next spring, but the weather is very cold; our jail, unfor? tunately, is m a very bad condition; much of the glass in the windows is broken; the chimneys aro in sucha dilapidated state that no fire can be made to render your apartments comfortable; besides, owing to the great number of prisoners, not more than one blanket can be allowed to each ; to sleep sound and comfortable therefore, is out of the question. In consideration of thes? circumstances and wishing to lessen your sufferings as much as possible, the court,"in the exercise of its humane compassion, hereby orders you to be executed to? morrow morning, as soon after break? fast as may be convenient to the sheriff and agreeablo to you. .> if ?om th? wi?g." ALEXANDRIA, VA., February IO, 1865. DEAS PHOENIX: This city is situated oh the Potomac, about seven mile? from Washington. It contains about 25,000 inhabitants, and has 300 stores and shops. There are seventeen churches in this oity-two Presbyte? rian, four Baptist, three Episcopal, one Roman, and seven Methodist. The Orphan Asylum is quite a hand? some building, and has twenty-five inmates. There is a comfortable house here called the Widow's Home, but it has no inmates. The beautiful and capacious build? ings of the Episcopal Theological Seminary are near this city, but, owing to the present state of our country, there are very few students in attendance on the exercises of this institution. Owing to certain action by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1860, the Balti? more Conference became divided, a large majority of the members de? siring to adhere to the Southern sec? tion of the great Methodist Episco? pal Church, and a minority adhering to the Northern section. The former part of the Conference have been in an anomalous position ever since that time, until, a few days ago, they met in a conventional capacity, resolved to unite with the Methodist Episco? pal Church South, and invited Bishop Early to preside over the delibera? tions of ito body. This Conference has a number of able ministers in its membership. Its deliberations thus far have been characterized by perfect harmony and great unanimity. - Just at this time, there is some danger of friction between the North? ern and Southern sections of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but we fondly hope that nothing will occur to impair the usefulness of either section. TJue citizens of this city have suffered in many ways during the past years, yet their kindness and hospitality have not been diminished. By-the way, the Methodist Episco? pal Church, South, has done an im? portant missionary work among the Indians and colored people. There were in the South 480 missions, under the care of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. This Church had in her communion more than 250,000 colored persons, and influenced three fourths of this entire people through the labors of her self-sacrificing mis? sionaries. OMEGA. WASHINGTON, D. C., February 12, 1866. DEAR PHCBNTX: I reached this city on Saturday afternoon, and found comfortable quarters in a private boarding house. Yesterday morning, I attended church at the Foundry Methodist Church. This will be a beautiful church when completed. The Rev. Bishop Simpson preached an inte? resting sermon. His theme was the relation of the visible and the invisi? ble. The sermon indicated much profound thought on the part of the speaker. The Bishop's physical or? ganization detracts somewhat from his appearance and effectiveness. He is what we call a little stoop-shoul? dered. His sermon had many strik? ing passages of beautiful imagery and appropriate analogy, and it contained sufficient earnestness, yet it appeared to lack much of that warmth and spontaneous gush of deep feeling which are the peculiar characteristics of Southern orators. His voice was clear and his enunciativa very dis? tinct, still there was not that softness and sweetness of pathos that I Lave heard from men of even inferior in? tellect. At the close of the sermon, the celebrated Mr. Philips, of Cin? cinnati, played and sung a solo, which was perfectly enrapturing. He seems to have the most perfect control of his voice, and there is an unearthly melody of sweetness about it, which I never heard before. He must have been reared in a warmer climate than this. In the evening, I attended service in the Independent Methodist Church, and heard a capital sermon from Rev. Mr. Dyee, of Staunton, Va. There was much solid thought and logical symmetry in the sermon. This city, together with George? town, contains abo^ 100,000 inhabi? tants, though many, of these are transient. This is not a great com? mercial city, yet there is a large retail trade done here. In the two cities, there are ninety four churches and chapels, divided as follows : One Spiritualists' Society, two Friends' Meeting Houses, four Luthe? ran, ono New Jerusalem, one Chris? tian Church, one Hebrew Synagogue, one Congregational, twelve Presbyte? rian, thirteen Baptist, seven Roman Catholic, twenty-two Episcopal, and twenty-nine Methodist. What a va? riety of churches, and what a diver? sity of religious opinion among this people !_ OMEGA. The* Georgia House of Representa? tives bas passed a bill submitting the question of the penitentiary to a vote of the people. It is stated that the feasibility of raising cotton in Southern Illinois has been folly demonstrated, and large crops will be planted this year. $800,000 was rec ii ved at th? New York Custom House for duties, one day last week. Col a milla. Correspondence. We make the following extracts from a letter from Colombia, pub? lished in the New York Newt. The writer says truthfully, that "capital is tho main want of all:" This city is rising from its ashes but slowlyl The entire business portion was burned. The business that has sprung up is off from the former Main street-the business street-and is very much scattered. Everything is in shops--wooden shanties run up for temporary use, to be pushed back whenever the means of the occupant may warrant his putting xip a better honse. On Main street perhaps a dozen' houses have been erected; these almost all one story plain store-rooms, fitted np in the cheapest style. The total amount of goods on sale, however, is perhaps greater than it has ever been hereto? fore; certainly the number of shops is greater than ever before. Mechanics are doing a thriving business; and more carpenters and brick masons are wanted'. But the main want of all is capital-capital to ont hands to work, and to revive business in all its branches. Capital can be safely and profitably invested in a score of different ways. The railroads connecting this point with the world of trade and travel are bestirring themselves. Trains on the South Carolina railroad will certainly run through from Charleston to Columbia on or before the 18th inst. The Greenville and Columbia rail? road has five miles of road and a bridge yet to finish. The road will be finished in about a month's time from the present, but the bridge may take three months to complete. Travel, meanwhile, will connect across the hiatus with stage and boats. The Charlotte and South Carolina rail? road-that connecting this city with the great thoroughfares of northward and westward travel-has about twen ! ty miles of road and a long bridge over the Catawba River, jnst South of Charlotte, to complete. Tue road may be done by the 1st of March, whilcthe bridge will take at least a month longer. All these delays are much increased by the indolence and unsettled habits of the freedmen. It is hoped that time will work great improvement in their habits. General Ely, in charge of the freed? men's interests at this point, has organized schools, in which his wife and daughters, with other teachers, instruct the negroes; and they seem to be very earnestly at their work, thc ugh. it is feared they meet with or?y a limited success. The numbers in attendance are large, but their Erogress is not so rapid as had been oped. Better things are looked for in the future. Public sentiment is distinctly in favor of improving and elevating the negro as much as pos? sible. The South Carolina College, a? the recent session of the Legislature, was changed into the University of South Carolina. This institution went into operation on the 8th inst., with abont twenty students. Abont sixty or seventy are expected in the course of a month or two; and the annual session may reach a hundred before it closes. Senator Barnwell was elected Chairman of the Faculty o? the University at the organization. The Faculty consists of Professors Barnwell, LaBorde, Reynolds, John LeConte, Rivers, Joseph LeConte, and Alexander. The Chair of Modern Languages and Literature is still vacant. A goodly ntimber of schools has sprung up in the city; but they have few students, in consequence of the scarcity of money. Education has been very mucli neglected for four or five years. A grand chance for capitalists is the canal along the Congaree River, with? in a mile of the central part of the city. It is several miles in length, and affords more available water power than is to be had at Lowell, Massachusetts. The recent Legisla? ture put the disposal of the canal in the hands of a commission, the chair? man of which is Governor Orr. The Sumter Watchman, of the 14th inst., fears the growth of too much cotton. It says: "We are fearful that some of our planters, in their anxiety to make cotton, will neglect their corn fields. There is danger of causing great scarcity of bread the coming year. We. are too apt to go from one ex? treme to the other. And then the price of cotton is so temptingly high. But it should be remembered that even an approximation to a full crop will greatly reduce the price of the staple; and that, in all probability, a lesser amount will yield an equal number of dollars with a greater, while from the former we must real? ize a more abundant supply of bread. " Donald McKay, the distinguished ship-builder of East Boston, has lately returned from Europe, where he thoroughly inspected the iron-clad navies of France and England. He says that our Navy Department has constructed, built and equipped, since 1861, an iron-clad fleet more powerful than all the iron-clad navies of the world combined, and declares the Dunderberg, bnilt by Mr. Webb, to be equal to all the French iron-clads, of which we have heard so much in praise. He furnishes a full hst and description of the English and French vessels of thia class, embracing their armament, character of armor puting, and speed. Idaho. The message of Governor Lyon to the L?gislature of Idaho contains some points of? interest to Eastern people. Daring the past year, it seems over $17,000,000. worth of gold and silver has been produced in that Territory, and the yielJ. is rapidly increasing. The following paragraphs from the message read like an extract from the "Arabian Nights:" A bird's-eye view of the accumu? lating discoveries iu our mineral re? sources, reveals that we have no less than 3,000 gold and silver-bearing quartz ledges, graded in their value 1 as in their richness, and new discove-1 ries and new locations are being made j almost daily. The width of these lodes, or leads, varies from three to thirty feet, and they pi'ospect from twenty to five hundred dollars per ton. Located usually where water power and timber are in abundance, they offer the highest inducements to the enterprising capitalists, whose investment can rarely fail of being of the most remunerative character. Among the other useful ores which have been discovered within the last year, tin, ^pinnabar, copper, lead, and iron in many forms, are of tlie first value; yet platina, antimony, nickel, bismuth, irridum and rho dum, simple, or compounded with other minerals, are found in various localities; but this is not all. Beds of the best of iron, both anthracite and bituminous, with rock salt, sul? phur and gypsum, (bettor known as thc fertilizing plaster of commerce,) while the most precious of gems, the diamond, has been discovered in our I gulches, all give you a feeling fore ! taste of the illimitable extent of Ida I ho's varied mineral wealth, when the j hand of man shall have unbosomed her hidden treasures. The wide extent I of our auriferous placers, only a moiety of which has been well prospected, checkered as they are by auriferous ! quartz lodes and leads, are rivaled only j by argentiferous mountain ledges, striated, ruminated aud foliated with I silver in chlorides sulphurets-arsen-1 ieal, antimonial and virgin. This presents a fabulous array of marv1.- j ous deposits, which will require tae j industry of ages to develop and ex- i haust. In view of these facts, and of the j increasing production of the precious metals, Governor Lyon thinks that j Congress ought to give them a mint and assay office in the Territory. Several will be needed if the above statements are correct. STAMPS ON CONVEYANCES, BONDS, j NOTES, &C.-The following extract j from a recent letter of the Commis . sioner of Internal Revenue contains j useful and important information: TREASURY DEPARTMENT, I OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE, WASHINGTON, Jan 30, 1866. SIR: Your letter of the 22d inst., to the proprietors of the Intelligencer, t has been referred to this office. I j reply that the law requiring stamps upon conveyances, bonds, notes, &c, took effect October 1, 1862, and that no stamps are necessary upon instru? ments issued prior to that date. A bond for thc payment of money is subject to stamp duty at the rate of five cents for each one hundred dol ] lars, or each fractional part thereof, as "written or printed evidence of an ! amount of money to be paid on do j mand or at a time designated;" a per ! sonal bond, given at, security for the j payment of any definite or certain sum of money, exceeding one hun? dred dollars, and not exceeding five hundred dollars, is subject to a stamp duty of fifty cents, and to fifty cents additional for each additional five hundred dollars, or fractional part thereof. An instrument subject to stamp duty, but issued and used, unstamp? ed, prior to August 1, 1864, may be made valid by stamping it as required by section 163 of the Act of June 30, 1864; if issued since that date, the case falls under section 158 of said ! Act, as amended by the Act of March i 3, 1865. Very respectfully, D. C. WHITMAN, Deputy Commissioner. DISTRESS IN INDIANAPOLIS.-An examination of the assessor's books will reveal an amount of poverty much greater than is usually believed to exist. Many men reputed to bein easy circumstances will be found to be on the verge of bankruptcy, having no property to speak of, while others, who manage to dress well and keep a respectable appearance, will be found in imminent danger of actual starva? tion. A prominent citizen returned twenty-five dollars as the sum total valuation of his property, but, after an hour's haggling, was persuaded to swell his estimate to twenty-eight dollars. A saloon keeper in the Eastern part of the city estimated his stock, fixtures and household furni? ture at sixteen dollars. [Indianapolis Herald, '25th ult. No man and no woman is safe who has once formed the habit of looking to drink for solace, or ?heerfulness, or comfort. While the world goes well they will likfly be temperate; but the habit is built, the railro. d to de? struction is cut ready for use, the rail* are laid down, the station-houses erected, and the train is on the line waiting only "for the locomotive; it comes to us; it grapples us, and away we go in a moment, down the line we have been years constructing, like a flash of lightning, to destruction. [Charles Reade. Tari ff Taxation In order to show the enormous tri? bute which the tariff system enables the manufactures to wring from the industry of the country, we give the following calculations, which are made up by the Chicago Times: By comparison with the returns of 1860, the consumption -of cotton goods in the United States is found to be 8187,994,316 in 1865, on the basis of the present ruling at the former period. But the price of these goods has risen enormously. 250 per cent, would be a low esti? mate for the increase. Say 200 per cent., and the actual gold value of the cotton goods consumed in the United States during 1865 would be $563,982,948, and putting the average price of gold for the year at 150, the currency value would be $845,970, 422. By a similar process the value cf woolen goods consumed during the same year is ascertained to be $279,093,861-giving the following total: Cotton goods consumed, $845, 974,422; woolen goods consumed, $27?, 093,861. Aggregate value of go*.as consumed in 1865, $1,125, 068,283. The tariff imposes u duty averaging about 44 }? per cent, in gold, or 63%. per cent, in currency, with gold at 150. Almost the whole of this amount appears in the price of domestic goods. The United States Economist, a paper devoted to the dry goods in? terest, stated, not long since, that to manufacture a yard of Sprague prints cost 17 cents, but the manufacturers would not sell it at less than 27 cents. This is about 60 per cent, over the cost of production, which may be taken as a basis. According to this, thc manufacturers sell about $1,100, 000 of heir goods for about $1,800, 000, thus making a clear profit of $700,000. We leave out the pro? fits of the wholesale and retail mer? chants in this estimate, because their proportion would be about the same under either s3Tstem. Their actual profits, however, would be greater to the extent that the general business of the country would be increased by free trade. Without going any further, there? fore, we find that the people of the United States pay a tax of $700,000, 000 on cotton and woolen goods alone, the greater part of which goes as a bonus into the pockets of the manu? facturers ot New England. The amount which goes into the Treasury is not more than 80,000,000 at the outside. It is probably even much less than this, as the effect of the high tariff has been to drive foreign goods almost entirely out of the American market. Now, this vast sum thus wrung from the people by the voracious ma? nufacturing capitalists of the Eastern States in each year, is one-fifth as great as the whoie public debt. It is double the revenues of the Government during the fiscal yeai ending June 30, 1865. It is greater than the estimated revenues of the Government, from al sources, during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1866. It is equal to one-twentieth of th? entire value of all the real and per sonal property of the country-ii other words, it would buy all th? property of the country in twentj yearn.-New Orleans Crescent. THE TRICHINA IN DETROIT-DAN GERS OF EATING PORK.-One case o the epidemic called trichina, whicl has recently excited so much alarm ii Berlin, Prussia, has appeared in thi city and proved fatal. The victim o this disease was a young lady, a Ger man, who was taken ill some timi since, and called Dr. Herman Keife to attend her. Dr. Keifer was at firs unable to tell the precise nature o the disease, but finally became con vinced that it was of the same natur as the trichina, which has beei known for some years in Germany and which arises from the eating c diseased pork. The Trichina Spirals is a ..mall microscopic worm or ani malcnla, which was first observed b the distinguished anatomist, Bichar Owen, in 1835, and is found in th muscles and intestines of various an: mais, especially pigs and rabbits, i such enormous quantities, that in single ounce of pork 100,000 of thee animalcule have been found. B partaking of the meat infected wit them, they aro transferred to th human body, causing intense suffei ing, followed, in many cases, by painful dea;n. Dr. Keifer did his utmost to reliev the intense sufferings of his patien but his efforts to save her life wei unavailing, and she died about a wee ago. After her death, a post morte, examination was held, which has n suited in proving beyond a doul that the disease was trichina, small portion of flesh, about the sis of a pin-head, was examined throng the microscope, and found to contai large numbers of animalcuhe, woun round and imbedded in the fibres < the muscle, exactly similar in appea ance to the Trichina Spiralis. Thi we believe, is the only case of th disease that has ever been known 1 occur in this country. Dr. Keif( states that these animalcular are ni destroyed by smoking, or, as a gen ral thing, by frying pork, but hai and long boiling is necessary to e fectually destroy them.
