MEN.-Whatever action Congress may see fit to take in regard to the future condition of freedmen, beyond tho simple act of enforcing their rights as citizens, their best protectors in the end will be found to be the States in which they live. Congress may do them infinite mischief by teaching them to look to the Government for support, and not to themselves, but it will do them little good, which the States will not do in a more effective manner. Governor Patton, of Alabama, has issued a proclamation granting amnes? ty and pardon to all persons liable to be indicted or prosecuted for offences against the laws of the State, (the crimes of rape and murder excepted,) between the commencement of hos? tilities and the restoration of the civil Government.

JtiST RECEIVED A LARGE STOCK OF CROCKERY, FOR SALE LOW BY GREGG & co., Corner Richardson and Taylor Streets, Feb 8_' Imo* Valuable and Extensive Water Power in the City of Columbia for Sale. Ordered by Ute Legislature nf South Caro? lina. THE undersigned Commissioners, ap? pointed by thc General Assembly of South Carolina, at its late session, will receive bids for the valuable W A T E R POWER known aa the COLUMBIA CANAL, until thc first day of April next. Tho Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and thc average fall for the first threemilesis fourteen feet, commencing at ten foot at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet one inch at Bridce street; the remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and attains a fall ol' twenty-five feet. Fine building sites exist between the canal and river, giving completo protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. The State, through the "undersigned, will con? vey the canal and all its appurtenances, together with the right of way for sixty feet on each side of tho centre of the canal to thc purchaser. Compensation to tho adjacent land owners for the right of way, ko Lu made by tho purchaser, on the same just and ?quitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to thc Greenville and Columbia Railroad Companv, by Act of loth December, 1845. This power has boon accurately surveyed by Prof. John LcConte, of the South Caro? lina University; his report, together with the Act of the General Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and may lui obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor of Columbia. Prof. Le< !onte est imates that by doubling the original .capacity of the canal, as re? quired by the Act, that the power secured to Bridge street will Le 355 horse-power, the average head beiug fonrteen feet; and from Bridge street to ita mouth 53*2 horse? power, with rn average head of twenty-one tect, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per second, the powers would lie 710 and 1,064 horse-power; and if the machinery is not run at night, the power may bc doubled by accumulat? ing water in reservoirs. "As tho supply of water," savs Prof. LeCor.te, "which may bc turned from the river into thc canal at its head, is almost unlimited, the canal can be enlarged to an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. If desired, it may bc made to supply water to tho extent of 5,OOO horse? power or more. In fact, hy very simple , arrangements, one-third or one-half, or even more, of the whole water in Broad Uiver, might be turned into such an en? larged canal." This water power is literally within the city of Columbia. Tho city is how supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in the State, furnishing the produc-. tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pro? visions, with little expense at 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, fur 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: lat. The purchaser shall, within two years from the date of conveyancu, complete the widening and deepening of said canal to at least twice its origininal capacity. (Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet at bottom and four feet in depth; to double it according to Prof. LeConte's report, it will require tho removal of 30,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone to Bridge street, and from Bridge street to its mouth 22,170 cubic yards of earth-no stone to be removed.) That tho same shall always le kept open for boating purposes, free of charges, to where it is now used. (This will not interfere at all with the water power for driving machine? ry, as boats only descend as far as tho first lock, near Upper street. ) That the water shall not become stag? nant, and that it shall not boused for other than hydraulic purposes. That one-third of the sum bid shall be paid within thirty days after notice of ac? ceptance of bid; one-third at the expiration v>f six months therefrom, and the remain? ing third at. tho expiration of twelvo monftis. Titles delivered on payment of first instalment, and that the title herein proposed to bo conveyed shall revert to tho State, on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of au the purchase money. This water power with its location, in t he judgment of thc Commissioners, is un? equaled by any in the State of South Caro? lina, and "not surpassed by any in the Southern country. Parties sending bids will please furnish the Commissioners with references as to the ability promptly to mako good the same. Allthc communications may be addressed to the undersigned at Columbia, S.
