COLUMBIA. . Firday Morning, September 14,1866. Noble licncroslty. "There is lifo in tho olddand yct'?" yes, and in theso days of impoverish? ment on ono hand, and grasping ava? rice on tho other; when this aamc lund \ is afflicted -with a host of "grinders of the poor," -with fanatics and men of evil passions, it is gratifying to know that virtue, honor, generosity and a noble benevolence are still founiin the breasts of many, even in what Mras Hot long siueo considered a hostile section towards the people of the South. Several instances of tho noble gene? rosity we speak of havo recently come to our knowledge, and aro worth re? cording in theso degenerate times. A prominent merchant in this city, aviotimof the great conflagration, and who lost very heavily, received, some time since, a letter from a largo whosesale house in New York, with whom he had formerly dealt, inviting him visit the groat metropolis, and purchase a new stock, which, iu his line of business, is necessarily a very valuable oue; aud not only did they do this, but forwarded him a check for a generous amount to defray his expenses thither, proffering to sell him all the goods he wanted. A firm of this city, in another line of business, sent one of its members to New York, to make an ejjprt to compromise their (dd debts, as they thought they might bo able to pay twenty-five cents on tho dollar. On visiting one of their former largest creditors, and making known their position and the proposal tho firm de? sired to make, tho creditor advised him to pay fifty cents on the dolla] to all the creditors, and proffered hin: the money to pay tho amount, at th? same time selling him all tho goods he wanted-all to be repaid when thc debtor was able. Another instance : Oue of our bu siness mon being iu New York, wa? asked by tho largest house he hm traded with, how much ho could pa? on his old debts. Ho replied, ' Xo tiling"--he having lost everything The New York merchant then tol< him that his house would wipe on all past debts, aud furnish him wi tl a new stock of goods on time. A Baltimore firm also authorize? another gentleman in business in Cc; htmbia to order w hat goods he waul ed, regardless of past liabilities, nn< pay for tho new purchases at a futur time. Say wo not truly that all virtue an goodness of heart have not lied th land? These aro but a few instance of hundreds-yea, possibly thor sands-of generous deeds performe towards the ruined or crippled mei chants*f tho South by their Nortl ern mercantile friends. Those ai .steps towards r?concili?t iou and r< construction whose effectual progrci radicalism cannot obstruct, and whic will sooner restore the entent'- corilla between the two sections than an others. Theso great-hearted me chants will have their reward, n< only in tho congruousness of bavin performed such kind deeds, but i the grateful remembrance in whit they will bo held by Southern bu; ors. Such conduct ns this shines 01 like the star of hope amid the polit cal gloom that has so darkly gather? around the unfortunate States of tl South. THE MAINE ELECTIONS.-An eic tion took place in Maine, on Mond; last, for four members of Congress, Governor and a Stato Legislatur . To understand the significance of tl results, we may state that at preso the Governor, all tho members Congress, all tho State Senate, ai 135 out of 151 members of the Hou are Republicans. Tn 1865, at the Governor's electio tho Republican majority was 22,23 Joshua L. Chamberlain is the Repu Hean, and E. F. Pilsbury is support by the Democrats aud tho Johns? men. Of course, there is no ho that, from their compact orgauia tion to beat tho radicals, or to o vi come their largo majority, Mai may bo set down as a radical State root and bran u. Hon. Ben. Wood has sold his i terest and vet ired from the New Yo Neves. The cholera is prevailing to alarming extent at Vicksburg. Soi of the ohlest and best citizens ho fallen victims to the disease. Ratification. The National Executive Comniitteo of the Conservativo TJnion Conven? tion, which recently met in Philadel? phia-, after the adjournment of that" body, pasaed a series of resolutions, among which was tho following: Resolved, That tho friends of peace, Uuion, liberty und law, be earnestly requested, nt the earliest day practi? cable, to call mass meetings in every county ol' the thirty-six States, and nine Territories of tho American Union, for the purpose of endorsing and ratifying the action of tho National Conservative Union Convention." Wenotice in our Georgia exchanges, that Mr. Hardeman, ono of the National Committee, lins isssned an address to the people of that State, urging tho propriety of complying with the request of the committee. One reason for this is, that the radi? cals are continually asserting and re? iterating tho assertion, that the Southern Conservative delegates did not represent the great mass of their constituency, and that ns a peoplo we were yet rebellious and disloyal. Hence this call for the peoplo them? selves to speak in these primary meetings. But beyond the mere ratification of tho mensures of the Convention we may approve, we think a i.till more patriotic incentive exists to cause such meetings to be heh? and tint is to strength cn the hands ot the Presi? dent, nud to tender to him tho as? surance "f our support in the conflict he is now engaged in with thc J:wobins, who not only deny ns our rights, but arc seeking to overthrow tho Government. President John? son needs and deserves such sup? port at the hands of the people of every Southern State, and we hopo that no minor feelings of party or policy will deter them from cordially tendering it. South Carolina went into that Con? vention through hole delegations from all sections of the State, and we hold it to be the duty of the peo? ple who sent thom, to give public expression of their opinion regard? ing its action, and as to the mannet in which our delegates discharged their duty. Wo would suggest, there? fore, ns the whole State is represented at the present time in Columbia, through the people's representatives in the Legislature, that a meeting bu the purposes indicated, be held some (?vening next week, and that Gover? nor Orr, and any other delegates whe may bc present, address the citizens. To 1 xi silent now, after having par? ticipated in all the proceedings o! the Couvention, and whose actioi was adopted on a motion by one o: thc delegates from South Carolina woioH be neither dignified not patriotic on the part, of her people. Firm uii a. XLock. There eau bo lillie doubt but thal tho radical party intend to impend tho President, and as little doubl that they will resort to force, bc for? they will relinquish thc power whicl the majority thoy have now in Con gress gives them. Thc Prcsidenl himself knows this. In his speech al St. Louis, he refers to these schemes and in his speech :it Detroit, he said, in regard to Congress and thc conrst which he would pursue in the event of the defeat of the conservatives al tho approaching elections: "I wil meet them single-handed and alone. In the words of the poet, ? exclaim: 'Com.ie come all this rock shall fly From its lirni hase ns soon as L' " This evidently refers to a conflict which now threatens our distracted country. May Cod avert it; but over after all the blood that has boon shoe for the past four years, wt; believe tin people of thc whole country woulc prefer war on the side of the Presi dent and the Constitution, rather t hai submit to the usurpation of all powei by the radical party and the anarchy that must inevitably follow. Thej are anxious to avoid such a terribh conflict, but they should be pr?par?e for tho worst, and stand ready to sav? the Government and their own liber ties from destruction. At the ret]nest of the managers o the Colored Methodist Church al Lynchburg, Va., who are about erect ing a new place of worship, tho core mony of laying the corner-stone is tr bo peformed by the Masons, accord ing to the rites of their anc ient order Tho Lynchburg Virginian says that this is the iirst instance of the kim known iu that city, and commend; the fact to Northern people as an il lustration of tho excellent feeling ex isting between tho white and colore< people. A Change. Tho Richmond THmea has the fol? lowing note of thc change noir going on ftt the South: The mind of tho Southern people seems to l>e hiking a practical turn in a very marked and eminent degree; They aro determined to repair their fortunes, and they will succeed. With that tremendous will and ener f;y which sustained a hopeless contest or four years against overwhelming odds, they aro now diligently en? gaged in repairing the wreck of all that was loft them at the conclusion of a most disastrous struggle. The thoughts of our people are not direct? ed to politics-they are bent upon thc improvement of their physical and material well-being. Thoy aro seeking to lay up something for a rainy day; to repair the damages which tho war inflicted upon an in? heritance which they had boped to transmit unimpaired to their chil? dren. There are many striking changes wrought in the habits and customs of our people by the stress of circum? stances. They can no longer lead those lives of ease and idleness to which slavery was not only a tempta? tion, but, in n measure, rendered al? most unavoidable in the man of wealth and leisure. The village post office, inn, cross-road, grocery and court-green are no longer the scenes upon which idle, dissipated men, young and old, spend the greater por? tion of their time. It is true, that whiskey is dear ahd greenbacks scarce; but these considerations do not wholly explain the moral and so? cial phenomena which wo ure called upon to witness. The people have changed with the times und their circumstances, and wisely realize the necessity of conforming to all the necessities of their altered condition. Tho vapid, loud-mouthed politician, is no more listened to with rapt at? tention and curiosity, and he has sense enough to hold his tongue whero the people take so little in? terest in politics that he would not secure an audience. Speech-making is now voted a hore, lt consumes valuable time, and the people find it difficult to discover how eloquent harangues on the hustings are ?ti all likely to lighten taxes or to help thc political situation. They have a vague suspicion that too tauch talk? ing brought war and ruin upon us, and that those are best oil" now who think much and say little. Wo dare say they are right; nor can it be de? nied that there is a world of philoso? phy in their reasonings upon this subject. Tho revolution in sentiment and action to which we have alluded, i confined to no particular class at th? South ; it pervades all classes of otu white population. Thu changed con? dition of affairs, like a new pair ol shoes or boots, may rub and pi ucl I at first, but ultimately may bc worn with ease and comfort. Onrsaro not a people to sit forever whining anti repining by the banks of the sircan of human progress and watch tit? remnants of their prosperity floating off upon its surface. No; ?hoy havi enough Anglo-Saxon energy and cou rage left to dash into the waters an? rescue the fragments of whatever maj be left them worth preserving. Thosi who think that the South, like : great moral coward, will fail pros trate and grovel fortivcr in the dus and ashes of despair, are grievously mistaken. She will ?lo no suel thing; but conscious of her merit an? untarnished honor, she will, ere long astound th?! world hy achievement in every domain of science and art STEVENS MAKES ANOTHEI: SPEECH Thad. Stevens mad<! another speeel at Redford, l'a., on the 4th inst The Now York Herold, in publishing it, says: "The old implacable radical leade: seems to be as savage, as remorseless ami insatiable in his revenges as ever Ht! howls over what ho denounces a the usurpation of Andrew Johnson the cleaning out of radical ollie, holders, thc insolence of Southon white rebels and the rights am wrongs of Southern black loyalists and he threatens to try again in Con gress hts favorite re?*onstructioj policy of Southern confiscation an. subjugation by extermination.

LAND FORSOUTHEKN SOLDIERS.- 11 the Texas Legislature, August 1 i, Mr Jackson offereil a resolution instruct ing the Committee on Public /-and to inquire into the expediency of do nating three hundred and twent; acres to each Confederate soldier who, by reason of wounds receive? in the lat<^ war, is incapacitated f?> labor, and to report by I >i 11 or other wise. It was adopted. A STTLL-BOKN PROCLAMATION. New Orleans telegram says: "Go\ Wells' proclamation ordering an elec tion on tho od of September, to th. Convention, in the nnrepresentd parishes, has been totally disregarded No electiou has been liehl." THE PURSE AND THE SWORD.-An old member of Congress has suggest? ed that the Presiden t, who undoubted? ly, as the Executive, can control tho execution of tho laws, should direct the treasurer of the United States not to poy another dollar to the members of Congress, until Congress shall have rendered itself a constitutional body by admitting the representatives from the Southern States. They arc entitled to pay only as members of a constitutional Congress, and it is clearly tho President's duty to seo that public money is not unlawfully disbursed. We like this plan. It would unquestionably soon briu$ the radicals to their senses. The first requisition of the pay? master to Congress which the trea? surer should refuse to honor would prove to be excellent credentials for the Southern members. The main object of the radicals is to secure to themselves tho handling of tho pub? lic funds, and they would soon show themselves to be very tractable. Forney, as clerk and public printer, Wi ul 1 be placed in the same catego? ry -, a id everybody knows how soon hu would "nop over" to tho Presi? dent's side.-Richmond Dispatch. The Washington Star says: "An inquiry into tho antecedents of the delegates to the Disunion Southern Convention, now in session af Phila? delphia, would probably result, in showing that very few of them have ! any legitimate right to speak for thc South, mid especially for the loyal South. Thomas .1. Durant, of Louisi- j ana. temporary Chairman of the j Convention, was, we learn, a ram? pant secessionist at the outbreak of ; the rebellion, though a Northern j man. J. M. Field,?of Mississippi, was j a rebel Lieutenant in the rebellion, j aud is also o? Northern birth. The ; 'Colonel Daniel, of Louisiana,' who figures in ihe Convention, is a Mas sachusetts Yankee, who went down < to Louisiana, fora while, in command of so,.ie negro troops, but who, at thc close of the war, left Louisiana and came to Washington, and while here, it. will be remembered, distin- ! guished himself by marrying Mrs. i Cora V. Hatch, the somewhat noted i 'spiritual medium.' " Tn;: FINANCIAL FUTURE.-Events are carrying us rapidly towards a re sumption of specie payments on the ! j>:. it of the Government. The Trea? sury has now over ?60,000,000 of coin , on band of its own. without counting ; the private deposits. At the mode Irate estimate of 312,000.000 per j month, seven months more of ens- j toms revenue will add to this gold \ \ fund ?84,1)00,000; so that by the first < ; ci* April next the coin in the Treasury \ will be 8143,000,00o, less whatever I payments are to be made meantime, j Estimating these, for half a year's i gobi interest and for -payment ol the i ? principal of the lmuds of 1867, ?lue ? next January, at 345,000,000, there 1 will remain, on thc first of April, ; 3100,0UO,000.

The case was argued befor Judge Underwood's court some months ugo. The injunc? tion will suspend the operation of the Southern National Express Com? pany, chartered by tho Virginia Legislature last winter.

FLA OOELII.ATION SUGGESTED. -Thc New Vork Times, quoting from a New Orleans negro suffrage paper a para? graph in tho Brownlow style, adds: "If they would enact a law down there, by which the utterers of such rhetoric-no matter what be the sub? ject or the purpose-should get a mild flogging for each offence, they would render a service to literature, and a tribute to the late Rev. Dr. Blair. "_ EXCITING CHASE.-A freedman, under arrest for some offence, eluded the vigilance of his guard last Friday and m mle off at race-borse speed for the nearest woods. Not obeying the order to halt, he was pursued and fired at three times, but succeeded in effecting his escape. An unfortunate cow, in range of the bullets, was killed, and furnished an extra ration of beef to the garrison. [ Chester Standard. "A TIMELY AFFADI."-Such is the term the radicals apply to thc New Orleans riot. "It is worth 10,000 votes to tho party," said another. Not a tear for the poor dupes who died-not a sigh or a cent for the widows and orphans who live-but let the party thrive, if a whole race is exterminated. Such are the senti? ments of those who now control "the best Government on earth." HOMICIDE.-We learn, that on Monday last, at Columbus, N. C., John Weaver, son of Frank Weaver, deceased, shot Thomas Huntsiuger. Huutsiuger is the individual who turned States' evidence against Frank Weaver, who was shot in December, 1864, upon suspicion that ho was as? sociated with a band of tories infest? ing the vicinity of Columbus. Tliis explains thc cans.- of the shooting. DEATH OF Gov. CLAV, -GOV. C. C. Clay, a man full of years and good words, died at his residence iti Mont? gomery, Ala., 0:1 the tith instant. after an illness of a few hours. He was in his seventy-seventh year, and had been, for some time, in feeble health. Gov.

Ide has scattered a dozen or more of the small German princes, and now notifies the King of Saxony that he must pursue a certain policy, or he, too, will be deposed, and a new monarch put in his place. Bis? marck, just now, is master of the j situation. There was a tournament at Hunts? ville, Ala., lately, at which one of thc contestants appeared as the "Knight ol" the Cray Jacket."

GEORGIA BONDS.-The Augusta Chronicle ami Sentinel is in receipt of intelligence from New York, stating that the new Georgia bonds are sell? ing at ninety-five, and are in demand at that rate. The political contest now progress? ing at the "Free North." is one of the most bitter, excited and angry that was ever known in this country.

PRACTICE vs. PRECEPT-One of our worthiest citizens, noted for his suavity of manners and amiability, recently invited several gentlemen of this town to partake of his hospitali? ty.

The exami? nation was satisfactory and many compliments were paid to the ability of tho teacher and the industry of the pupils. So much for precept. That very night Mr. -'s smoke? house was completely stripped of its savory contents, not a rasher being left for his breakfast. So much for practice.

"Wc had the pleasure of seeing, on Satur? day, a specimen of the first picking from the cotton crop of Judge Mere" ilith, planted on his plantation on the Pamunkey River. The sample is beautifully white, of long staple, and will compare favorably with tho best, grades in tho Southern States. We learn that Judge Meredith, Mr. Ed. Ruffin, Mr. George W. Bassett, Jr., and Br. Thomas Carter, on the Pa mnnkey River; Mr. Robort Don that, Mr. Win. Barwell, on the James River, and other gentlemen in this portion of Eastern Virginia, are cul? tivating cotton quite extensively, with a fair prospect of success. Should the fall tie a late one, they are sanguine that it will prove a remune? rative crop. " FLORIDA.-A letter from Tallahas? see, of thc 4th, says: "The crops are in amore promis? ing condition than they were a few weeks ago. The recent rains have checked tho rust which threatened to nearly destroy the cotton crop. Still, the planters are ot opinion that the mst has already played pad havoc with the cotton, and that the crop will full considerably short. The planters and the freedmen get along, very harmoniously in cultivating the' crop; but the former have some fears uf slackuess on the part of their la? borers when the troublesome cotton - racking season commences."
