COLUMBIA. Thursday Horning, October 18,186b". Tlic Arcl?-Tr:iitor. Thc antics of tho traveling mena? gerie of miscegenista under the charge of Brownlow, we eau afford to look nu with contempt. Their tirados of blasphemy and blackguardism were not calculated to produce much political effect; but there is a politi? cal demagogue now stumping the West whoso declarations aro entitled to some notice, as the man is at least an educated mau, and has occupied prominent positions, civil and mili? tary, in the country. He is, moreover, an ambitious man, and if he have the tact to acquire thc necessary power, he will unquestionably attempt to carry out the vile intentions he has foreshadowed and threatened. He is unscrupulously low, as the Southern people know to their cost, and they will recognize him whom wc call the arch-traitor when we write thc name of B. P. Butler. This" is thc man who, as wc noticed a few days since, declared, in Cin? cinnati, that he intended to arraign or have impeached President John? son, and not only so, but in defiance of the Constitution and the well known principles of law, that thc Executive must bc regarded as a criminal, and vacate his office from tho moment he is impeached by an unscrupulous partizan House of Rep? resentatives. In his vile determina? tion to humiliate the incumbent of the Presidential office, he would hu? miliate the office itself. He would have him dragged through Penn? sylvania Avenue, in charge of a ser geant-at-arms, and would doubtless gloat over the radical insults that might be offered to the Chief Magis? trate. But we think he counts with? out his host, (even of Massachusetts militia men,) for., if wc are not mis? taken, Andrew Johnson knows the extent of his constitutional power, and diat he is not likely to abate one jot or tittle of it. But what words of condemnation can be applied to this demagogue, aud who, we verily believe, is grasp? ing enough to seek supreme military power as dictator, on the removal ol thc. President. Speaking of his lan? guage in Cincinnati and elsewhere, the New York Exjn-ess says that, irj the most violent and darkest days ol the French Revolution, when Dan? ton, Robespierre and Marat deluged France with blood, nothing of atro? city in their speeches exceeded whal Butler has said in Ohio. The Express is justified in this das sification; but it must bc remem? bered that these are the very charac? ters wdio precipitate a country inte blood-shed before the people have time to reflect on the consequences. According to the testimony of hii gallant brother-officer, Gen. Steed man, if Butler should become tht leader of the contemplated movement, there will be little hope of mercy foi the women and children who come ii: his way. Ax HONEST PASTOK.-The Rich? mond Whig states that a Northern clergyman, who has been traveling ir thc South, writes to a friend fron Georgia, in which he says: "The policy of denying representa? tion punishes whole masses of South? ern people who neither need nor de? serve punishment-they have already suffered enough. All the bitterness and disloyalty that may exist can be more perfectly overcome hy mag? nanimity than by severity. As regard.' the blacks, this denial of representa? tion will surely secure their uttci misery if not their extirpation. Thc colored people are unprepared foi the ballot. They could only use it as a child would fire-arms-to their OWL injury; and an attempt to exercise tin right of suffrage on their part woult surely cause a war of races. No tra? friend of tho negro would wish hin to vote at present. That they maj make an intelligent use of their free dom, let them bo educated. This i; tho only hopeful work that the natior can engage in for their benefit. An] interference with the interior con cerns of the States will bo disastrous It is true, that the Government run: some risk in allowing the South tc participate in tho halls of Congress but it runs greater by refusing sud participation. No free Governmem is safe in arbitrarily governing a por hon of its people, and if it be neces sary to so govern the South, our forn of Government will soon be chang?e from a republic to a military despot ism." ??-?-?-?-. . Watteau waists, Spanish flounces pcplums and Lamballes, in opposi lion to high corsage, plain gore? skirt, and paletot ami turbans are th "go" in New York. Ulltik Mules. We observe that thc Marino Bank, o? Georgia, located at Savannah, gives notice that it is prepared to re- i deem its outstanding circulation, and desires that thc holders of its notes will register thc same, in order that the amount necessary for their re? demption may bo ascertained. This registiation may bc made in the ab? sence of a presentation of the notes. All that is necessary or desired, at the time of registration, is tho name of thc holder, with tho amount of notes in his possession. Wc do not know how many of thc banks of thia State are solvent, in whole or in part; but we think this mode ot registry would be highly desirable, by both the banks and the holders of notes. Tho banks would then definitely ascertain their out? standing obligations, which no doubt are considerably less than their circu? lation, many bills having been proba? bly destroyed or stolen; and the holders of notes would know more accurately thc solvency of these in? stitutions, and arrive at a move cor? rect estimate of what their notes aro worth. Something of this kind wc conceive to be absolutely necessary to a fair and proper adjustment of the claims of bill-holders; for as even now these bills are quoted at from twenty to fifty cents on the dol? lar, according to the supposed sol? vency of the banks respectively, there is no doubt but that the buyers ex? pect to realize a profit on their pur? chases, and that the banks will be called on to redeem their outstand? ing issues to tlie extent of their abili? ties. Look to (lie Future. The New Orleans Times has an admirable article, from which wc ex? tract thc subjoined paragraphs, and commend them to tho attontiou of our readers: Napoleon, in his prison home on the barren rocks of St. Helena, said: "Let us live upon the past!" He strug? gled hard to tame his proud, ambi? tious spirit-to check thc longings ol his soul for the excitements of thc court and camp, and tho adulation which authority commands. But thc attempt proved to be altogether vain. Like the caged eagle, chafing against j his prison bars, the captive became gloomy and despondent. He had nc I scope left for the exercise -rfif his ge nins. Reflection, a necessity of hii j situation, became oppressive, um hope had no bright pictures witl j which to relievo the tedium of hi; enforced inaction. He could not "liv? upon thc past. " Equally vain would it bo for om Southern people to wrap themselves in the now threadbare mantle of othe: dajrs, ignoring a.. once the demand* of the present and tho promise of tin future. We must meet the difficul ties of our situation fairly and square ly, not with the spasmodic acts o those who centre all their hopes 01 the issues of a single hour, but witl such a display of calm determinatioi and philosophic foresight as will nlti mutely prove creditable to our man hood. To become excited because of tin mad pranks of partizan extremists and despondent because of the tem poraryaud accidental difficulties hi which wc are surrounded, arc evi deuces of weakness. That aspirin? manhood which is worthy of succ?s is ever determined and ever, hopeful It makes its failures the agents o futuro successes, and wrests victorie even from defeat. Such is the man hood which our people should striv to win. They must look to the future make servants of their necessities and triumph over difficulties by ho norable effort and manly perseverance -*- . PRISONERS ESCAPED.-We lean from a gentleman from Chester tba all the prisoners confined there -som of them charged with capital ol fences-escaped, a few nights ago. A jail in Georgia was also emptied a few nights ago. The civil authori tics should be on thc alert, as thes prisoners are now in their charge. If the South is not to be admitte to representation in Congress and i to be allowed no influence in th Government, what sense is there i the clamor for negro suffrage? 1 neither whites or blacks are to nav? ally use for thc ballot, why em plo the hypocritical pretences upo which tho arguments in favor c negro suffrage arc based?" Thc Raleigh (N. C.) Progress, c thc 8th inst., says: Judge Merrimor Saturday night, passed tho sentenc of death on Charles Johnson, fe highway robbery, to be hung on Fri day, the 9th proximo. Johnson, hov ever, has taken an appeal to the Si preme Court, which meets in Noven ber, at which time a most importar subject-as to whether railroads ca be consielered highways or not--wi be discussed and decieled by some c the most eminent lawyers of thc State __?_.?l l.'.. Il Largo Farms und Ferr Hands. We spoke- the other day of tho cultivation of farms in tho West, whose mode of tillage, with varied crops, is so pt . plcxing to our planters lu re, and yet, is carried on there where the seasons are so short that the utmost diligence and tho care? fullest tillage is required, engaging as those farmers also do in the raising of many things requiring thc most minute horticultural care. We then said that there worein the West, farms of 20,000 acres in such cultivation. We did not correctly state tho amount of land thus in one body submitted annually to the treat? ment of thc plow, the scythe, the hot; and the rake, wielded not so much by the hand of thc workman, as directed by him and multitudinously impelled or drawn by the horse or by steam. A plantation with u? of three thousand acres, actually submitted yearly to the implements of the hus? bandman, would bo regarded as a very large one, and very few such are now to be found under tho restricted culture by mere baud power and single or double horse-plows, since labor was "emancipated" in thc South and turned out to returu, if it see fit, to original indolence and hush life. In stating, therefore, that there were such Western farms of 20,000 acres, we were in error; for we have below a description of one which exceeds that number by 3,000 acres, which of itself would constitute a larger plantation than almost any now under treatment with us. Can we not learn from this a lesson how to cultivate large tracts with few hands? Will we not strive to acquire the skill necessary to direct these improved implements and encourage thoso who can nov,- use thom to como among us? Their mind may supply our decreased muscio, and the strength of iron and steam, of horst and mule, not yet subjected to pro? tection against industry and faith? fulness, may till our fields, not only as well as they were formerly, ljul better and better. We take thc following from thc Scientific American, to which a cor respondent writes thus: The farm, which is no doubt thc largest cultiv?t eil farm in the world and I believe the best, is owned ano cultivated by M. L. SuUevaut, Esq. formerly from the vicinity of Colum bus, Ohio, now of Champaign Coun ty, Illinois. He owns and preside! over 70,000 acres of the best land o this hemisphere-23,000 acres o which are under fence, and in actua improvement and cultivation. Th? balance is used for herding. I will venture that there cannot Ix found five acres of unserviceable lane on Mr. S.'s entire 70,000 acres Their productiveness is unsurpassed Almost all of Mr. S.'s farming i: conducted by labor-saving machine ry, so that it is estimated that throughout, one man will perform tin average labor of four or live, as cern ducted on small farms. He drive i his posts by horse-power; breaks hi ground by Comstook's spaders; mows rakes, loads, unloads and stacks hi haj' by horse-power; cultivates hi corn by improved machinery; elitche any low grouuil by machinery; sow and plants by machinery; so that al his laborers can ride and perforn their tasks as easy as riding in buggy. I had the pleasure of being presen when he harvested 1,000 acres of hi wheat; this was done with -' "Headers," about eight or ten me and twenty horses cutting and safe! stacking away about 200 acres a day and performed the work better tba I ever saw it by old modes. To giv all the improved modes employed b this kind of agriculture would rc quire more space than you would lik to spare. Notwithstanding all tbi I labor-saving machinery, Mr. S. en ploys from 100 to 200 laborers, som 200 horses and mules, and a larg herd of working oxen. The groat advantage we can espc cially gain by the employment of in proved and multiplying tools, is, tba while we can have all tho hands i our employ ready to pick out as nine cotton as we would he able to pic at any time now, we will have bee able, in the meantime, to use them i cultivating an immense area in otbc crops, and in taking as much care e our present breadth of cotton cult vation as we have ever done, if nc more, and that if we must pay moi wages to a portion of such bands ? we employ, we will have more faitl ful service from more reliable mei whose example and the knowledg that the unskilful can no longer b tho arbiters of all our eutcrprise: will soon compel the latter to chang their habits. What wc have desired to imprc: on the minds of our readers is, tbi free labor will bc more profitab than slave labor, in proportion as v employ more labor-saving machiner and more skill and practice, thong thc price of it be greater by tl month of work in the use of it; ar that, as others have attained to tl management of vastly larger plant tions than ours by this course, so mt we; and that neighborhoods ma; with us, as easily as with them, uni in tho" employment of such impl ments, so that rich and poor mr equally use tliem. When once a comprehensive ste is made in this direction by a mam men of means and discretion, tl South will begin the development its vast capacities, the surface which has hardly yet been uptnrne [ rVeie Orleans Picf.i%une. Tho importance of Tuesday's elec? tions was understood in England. Thc London Times had an elaborate leader a fortnight since, attempting to stato the political situation of tho United States, opening as follows: In n few weeks tho^ political crisis in America will be decided hy a great popular vote, and tho unexampled exertions made by tho contending parties show the signal importance which is attached to the result. Thc whole domestic policy of tho United States will bc determined by the autumn elections, and in this policy on tho present occasion is involved thc destiny of the Union itself. GOING WEST.-Scarcely a day pass? es, says thc McMinnvUlo New Ern, that thc roads leading through our town ure not dotted by e.nigraut wagons going West. They all seem, from their traveling conveniences, to have been well-to-do pcojdc at their old homes. What tho cause of all this travel wc do not know, but we heard one intelligent old gentleman of a company who were bound to Texas, say that ho could no longer live under thc tyrannical State Go? vernment of Tennessee. On Tuos i\xy last, wc noticed a train of six wagons and two barouches in one company. A CURIOUS EXHIBITION.-A forth? coming exhibition of wet nurses is announced in thc Paris papers. Tho points to be considered will be the amount and quality of thc milk, thc age and temperament of tho nurse, thc kinds of food used by them, &c. Experiments will bc made to demon? strate to what degree malt liquors or spirituous liquors partaken of by the nurse impregnate the milk; also, whether a passionate or fretful tem? per of? thc nurse is'conveyed to the nursing child. The exhibition pro? mises to bo a very curious, interest? ing and instructive affair. Thc Monroe (La.) Intelligencer nays, in reference to the recent assassina? tion of Col. Moody, of Port Gibson, Mississippi: This is thesameMoody who was herc on a recruiting tour for the Confederate anny, in 1862, and was such a terna- to conscripts in Onacbita. His life was threatened at tho time, on account of his overbear? ing disposition. Long John Wentworth, of Chicago, was disgracefully drunk at the recep? tion of the Southern Loyalists in that city, and disgraced himself by boisterous behaviour in the presence of ladies. Ile tried to make a speech, but was jeered and hooted until he was forced to desist. The Baltimore American boldly avows the doctrine that "Congress is supreme." It. holds that position because Congress accords with its own views at present. Let Congress chango and the principle will change. Congress will then not be "supreme." Such arc our latter-day politics! A street car conductor, in fscw Or? leans, has been brought before the courts for ejecting from his car a lady of that city whom bc mistook for a mulatto. She is a Creole, and be? longs to one of thc old Spanish families of Louisiana. A DII?TY Si'ONOE.-The Baltimore Gazette says that Jack Hamilton "has sponged upon and betrayed every community in which he has lived." This accounts for the heroic "Gene? ral's" great anxiety to "wipe out" the Southern people. The employment of steamships in the whaling service is likely to prove a success. The steam whaler Vigi? lant, cruising off the coast of lee? land, has already taken 1,000 barrels of oil, and will probably take 500 more before the season closes. It is said that nearly twice as much wheat is being sown in Tennessee as was sown last year. Owing to the scarcity of seed, however, those who are compelled to purchase arc paying as high as five dollars per bushell It is thought, that Judge Paschal, an extreme radical, will be elected to Congress from the Fourth District of Texas, owing to divisions in his ad? versary's ranks. The Richmond Whig advises the country geutlemen of Virginia to forsake politics for questions more nearly affecting their livelihood. A London negro writes with hea? viness of heart, that "England-that is heard to speak and seen to actors pro-slavery." James Brooks and Fernando Wood have been nominated for Congress by thc Mozart Democracy, in New York city. An attempt is to be made out West to run steamboats with petroleum, instead of wood or coal. Great ad? vantages arc claimed. His Excellency Governor Orr has appointed J. B. Ezeil, Esq., a magis? trate for Chester District. Ex-Gov. Mattison, of Illinois, has invested a considerable amount of his means in New Orleans real estate. An intelligent planter says that Texas will not produce moro than one-fourth cotton crop this year. The cholera is rapidly increasing in Chicago, and several prominent busi? ness men have died of the disease. There were eight deaths from yel? low fever, in New York, on Monday last. Montreal has had the fm ?mow storm of the season. Carlotta is aoout to return to ?>xi co- disappointed, but spunky. Liocal Itorri.55. BLANKS run.

A general intelligence office is about bein-; established in this city, l>y Messrs. II. lt. Swinton A Co. Their office adjoins the post office. If their business is ma? naged properly -and we have no doubt it | will bc - it will bo of great advantage. INTERESTING TO MASONS.-By reference to our advertising columns, it will lie seen that "Enoch Lodge ol' Perfection" and "DeMolay Council Knights of Kadosch," are to hold a meeting this eveniug, for the purpose of re-organizing. This will bc: the first meeting of these venerable socie? ties since the destruction of Columbia. THE KABUS GAP.-An engineer on the Louisvillo and Nashville Railroad states tliat what is known as the "Lebanon Branelf of that road is to be extended from its present terminus, '.('rab Or? chard," to a point on the Kentucky ami Tennessee line, to which the Knoxville and Kentucky Load is now .being constructed. This action on the part of tho Louisville and Nashville Railroad revives tho hopes of the friends of the Blue Ridge Railroad scheme; as, when Knoxville shall be reached, the best available route to the sea-coast, is eta the "Kabun Oap" and Anderson C. H., in this State. This ia an important link in tho railroad connections of Columbia, when completed, lt is rather too early to speculate on its advantages to this city and the State. THE REBUIUJINO OK COLOMBIA.- Messrs. Kirk .V. Howell have set an example in tin way of quick work in the building line. It will be recollected that only a few weeks ago, we referred to the new building which these worthy mechanics were about, erect? ing fur Messrs. J. & T. R. Agnew. The work has been completed, and a handsome two-story edifice has made its appearance - the first lloor occupied by Mr. C. F. Jack . son as a dry goods store, and tho second story by Mrs. J. W. Smith as a milliner] establishment. Our persevering friend. Mr. A. Palmer, of tinning notoriety, has commenced u building on the site of the old "Exchange,' and by tho time the spring Howers begil to peep, will have completed a substantial ornament to our principal thoroughfare Mr. Johnson ("whose faithful workmanshil cannot bo gainsay cd J is the contractor. Mr. Johnson is also the contractor foi Mr. Bedell's "White House," corner o Main and Plain streets. This massive looking three-story will doubtless b" om of the principal attractions to the street.

Pollock ia about to occupy hi new house, on Main street, a few door below Washington. We wish him aa niue success in bia new place of business aa i the old "Lear House." Messrs.

The Nashville Union and American, in the following well-eousidered article on the result of the late elections, takes a more hopeful view than the majority of our Southern exchanges. We real that our cotemporary is almost loo sanguine, hut hope he may be coi reel : lt. docs not sensibly change th? political condition, and is significant onlv in tin fact, that it entitles the radical Congress to (daim that their action has been sustained by a majority of the people in those States, and encourages the artful and am? bitious leaders of that hody to al?ate no? thing of their audacious attempts to rule tho nation in the interests of a sectional party, and in violation of the Constitu? iou; and to impede thc patriotic efforts of the President to restore the Union, lo re-es? tablish peace nuder the purely civil forms winch our syste;.i of Government contem? plates, and io re-assure the public tran? quility bj" a guarantee ?,? equal and impar? tial rights io thc citizens of every section of the country. We confess that this ia a deplorable result, hut it is one not unex? pected in Ho* calculations of any one who has closely observed events for the past few months, and therefore should not sink those who hoped for a different result in the slough of despondency, or cause them to relax in effort to avert from themselves and the nation thc untoward consequences which mav ensue. We do not nuder-rate the significance of expressions of the popu? lar sentiment, but as a people we arc prone to magnify tho effects of elections. In the first flush of a triumph at thc ballot-box, thc successful party exults, and exagge? rates thc importance of their ichievenieiit; while the defeated party sutlers a corres? ponding depression, and, being in tho mood to concede ail that its opponent (daims, gives way to gloomy vaticinations, and commences to conjure up horrifying images of the future. There is '.some? thing t >o nundi ot this," and we can per? ceive m reason in the result id' the recent ( lections Lo indulge the feats that some express of further ami extreme action bj the radicals, either looking to impeach? ment of the President, or more direct revolutionary assaults upon the Constitu? tion, or greater oppressions upon the Southern people. In ii there is no ground to justify a dismissal of all hope thal, tho Northern people are not utterly insensible to justice and magnanimity, and'that they have cast their constitutional obligations entirely to the winds, lt does not show that the masses td' the North an- prepared to ?apport thc: more reckless of their lead? ers in tho bold schemes of revolution which they have promulgated. We think that any one who so interprets the result is yielding too readily to the first feelings of gloom that follow a political defeat, and that they will .-non sec causo to revise such au opinion. It should bc borne in mind that, by the shrewdness of radical politicians, the real issue in these elections has been avoided, and the popular mind diverted from the consideration d'the main question, which is tho preservation of the Government, under tho Constitution, from the invidious dangers which lurk in the licentious abuse of niidelegated power by the party now in the ascendancy. This grave and really threatening problem which the people will have to solve, sooner or later, if they save the substance of their liberties in this contest, has been ingeniously concealed and ?mstponed in the recent canvass. Thc people ot the North have pronounced no opinion upon this question fairly and justly presented. Their judgment and reason have not been consulted. On the contrary, they have been lashed into convulsions of passion, and electioneering has been ap? plied exclusively to their feelings and pre? judices. Amid a senseless clamor about "copperbeadiam," and inflammatory ex? hortations against rebids, and under the influence of fears excited that by the re? admission of thc Southern States to their lawful and rightful status in the Federal Union, the Government would again pass under the control of those still hostile to its integrity, the unscrupulous leaders have contrived to shuttle their nefarious Scheines to the bottom of tin: pack, and cozen many honest and well-meaning citi? zens into their support. These elections, in our opinion, mean this and nothing more. Thc effect is detrimental to the early return of conservative rule in tho counsels of the country, it is true, but they do not signify a deliberate support of a spirit of revolution, such as will take form in the impeachment of the President. The boldest and most wicked of the leaders who have incited tho popular feeling of the North to this pitch, upon a close calcu? lation of Tuesday's figures, will learn, too, that twenty thousand majorities in States that cast from a quarter to half a million votes each, do not afford sanction or en? couragement to their schemes. We have confidence that ultraism does not dare yet to go beyond the point it has reached. We commend to our conservative friends, in this season of depression, the example of the President. He stands linn and un? dismayed "? the ramparts of the Constitu? tion, and is confident that the judgment of his countrymen will, when brought tty know the danger, yet rescue thc nation. SHIP NEWS.
