COLUMBIA. Friday Morning:, November IG, ISSb'. A Beautiful Extract. lt is :i long; time since wo have read anything so beautiful in tho English language ?is the following paragraphs. They aro from an address, delivered before ii convention of the press <>i Mississippi, by Col. Manlou, editor of tho Vicksburg; Times. Of all the tributes to the South und her lost cause which have boon published, wc have seeu'nothing to exceed this iu its touching sweetness: ? "Southern national il y is :i dream of the past. A gulf, beyond which wo could not puss, yawned botweou us and the realization of our hopes; and though bright flowers bloomed upon its brink, and wafted us sweet perfume, we could not cross to gather ! them. l'The Southern cross no longer gleams out amid the wild light of buttle; the sword of the vanquished is sheathed, und the land is gloomy with the harmless sepulchres of our martyred dead. But when year.; upon years shall have passed away when tho last of the present genera- j tion sleep with their lathers, audnew ' forms throng the old familiar places- j when faction .shall have hushed and ; justice hold tho scales-- then, as j bright as day and as free from ble- i misli and stain, will stand forth in bright relief upon the scroll of his- j torie- fame, the record of the South, i dearer to the hearts of her children j now in the hour of sorrow, than when, on tho march to victory, she won the admiration of the world. Pilgrims from other lands shall tread, with reverend step, above the spot where moulders tho dust of our loved and lost; while those who arc to fol? low us will cherish as household gods tho names of those who, carving a w;iy through tho fiery path of war, have written their names where they can never die. The principle for which so mam* laid dowu their lives may not bo recognized .until their names have grown feeble on the tongue of friendship, and been drop? ped, like dead silence, from the ear of the world. But it will struggle back from the hollow bosom that once bled for it, and ascend tin heights of Government. And when the faithful historian shall descend into the vaults of the dead past, in quest of traditions of liberty, he will then discover to whom the world is indebted for their perpetuation." A special despatch to the New Or? leans Crescent, dated Washington. November 1, says: Gen. Grant has attended personally to the question of the restoration to Gen. Beauregard of the effects be? longing to him, but taken possession of by military authority, notwith? standing tho terms of his parole? which, it was claimed, secured them to him. Tho necessary order has been sent to Gen. Sheridan, and they will doubtless be at once handed to j their owner. Gen. Taylor, of Louisiana, dined yesterday with Generals (irani and Sherman, and the interchange of courtesies between them was frank and gallant. The Treasury developments are po? sitively astounding on the subject of the seizures of Confederate cotton in the South. The number of bales that ought to have, been accounted for by the agents of the department was 200,000. But, including private seizures, all that has been accounted for is 90,0110 bales. These facts are expected to lead to some unpleasant consequences to tho parties responsi? ble for delinquencies in the premises. THE CHARLESTON MERCURY.-We are pleased to announce that the pub lication of this well-known journal i. to be resumed on Monday next. Tin Mercury was for many years the lead? ing political paper, not only "? ii;i.s Birth , bul of the whole South. The barque Everhard, from live men, with 170 German immigrants, arrived in Charleston on Wednesday. These immigrants intend to settle in South Carolina, laang mostly con? nected with German families already resident here. The "Young America" steam lire eugine took the prize-a silver cup at the tournament in Charleston, on Wednesday. The engines did not do as well as was expected, 198 feet being the greatest distance thrown. The Colonization Society's ship Golconda will sail from Charleston for Liberia to-morrow, carrying about OOO freedmen emigrants, nearly 500 of whom, chiefly from Georgi;- and South Carolina, have already taken \ passage. <-?-?-> LOOK BEFORE rou LEAI?.-The Tus? kegee (Ala.) Neics cautions its read? ers against inducements recently held out to them to remo re to Texas. Men of good judgments have just returned from that State, and state that tho crops reported in that quarter aro confined to a few farms. Dovrnfull of tu.? SowtUeri? Oligarchy. Under this bead, tho New York Herald, of Monday, has tho folio wing leader: One fact which the late elections in the North must make plainly mani? fest l>> the people in the South, is the determination of the country that the old politicians who Lave misruled the country for the past fifty years shall nut again come into power. Nothing served moro to arouse the strong party feeling displayed in the late political contests than the promi? nence taken in tho attempted recon? struct inn of tho democratic, party by old secession leaders of tho South, like M ise and Stephens, to the ex? clusion of Union men like Joshua Hill, and the copperheads of tho North, like Cly mer and Hoffman, to the exclusion of sound war democrats like Dix. The country does not need and does not desire the re-organ? ization of the democratic party with copperheads and rebels at its head; and thc people of the South had bet? ter repudiate thc demagogues of the past, and with younger leaders, from the middle, not the moneyed class, take a new departure for prosperity, enlightenment and peace by adopting thcwconstitutional amendment, which restores the "lu me and sinew"' of the South to their rights and privileges in thc Union, while it forever con? signs to obscurity the old leaders who so basely oppressed and then foully betrayed them into a war against their own best interests. It is foolish for tho people of thc South to say "we must stand by our old leaders;" for it is a false sense of honor which induces aman to uphold another who has betrayed him into committing' wrong. The treason of the Southern slave-holding aristocracy against the country was not greater than thc inhumanity which they had l'or years systematically practiced upon the laboring class of the South. The controlling interests in slave la? bor and landed property, at the South, had been, for many years before thc war, in thc hands of less than "00,000 of thc 300,000 persons who owm-,1 slaves; and these 90,000 have been the rulers, not only of the South, but up to 1SG0, tiny dictated, at Washington, to the country at large. They wielded a great influence for evil over thc people of tho South, and retained that power by the most infamous of means. They persist? ently kept the "poor whites" in ig? norance, discouraged free schools and established only those of the most expensive? character, leaving thc whites t..) grow up in ignorance, well knowing that, as long us they were ignorant, they could be ruled. They imbued the two races which form thc laboring class of thc South-thc "jioor whites'" and negroes-with thc idea that their int.'rests were antago? nistic, and. by artful means, created between them :i prejudice which, tc this day, and mud for many years ti come, politically divide the laboring class of tho South, when it ought t< be united in purpose, as it is in inte rest. Through t bc ignorance of botl these classes ami the prejudice exist ing between them, the slaveholders wove enabled io rule them with a roc of iron, and thc slavery in which th< negro existed was not more absolut? than that endured by the "pool whites." This ignorance and preju dice was the strength of the rebel lion; for had tho people of the Soutl understood tho demagogues whe ruled them, and thc purposes to whicl they aspired, tin.re would never have been any rebellion. The same leaders now seek to re store their'lost power, and to reviv? by the reconstruction of the old Dc mocratic party the machinery bi which they ruled the country befort the V.Mr. J?ut Congress has prepare? a means for forever dispossessing these leaders, and tho North ha: firmly and positively decided, in tin late elections, that Congress is to bi sustained und the amendment bi made a law. The provision is a wisi one, framed in the true interests o the whole country, for the benefit 0 the laboring classes of the South both white and black, and the forme should step forward to assist in th work of shelving their old leader und nullifying their schemes hy th adoption o? the constitutiona amendment. --..??.>--_ SUMTET? Coi"i:r. -The Watchman alluding to the opening of the fa term of tho Court in that District says : Tho charge of .Judge Aldrich to th Grand Jury was characterized by wi dom and patriotism. Judge Aldricl from the general coarse pursued b him since his investment with tl: functions of the judiciary, has wo greatly upon the popular favor. Maj. J. T. Green, in tho "absent of Solicitor Fair, who, we regret 1 leam, was sick, discharged the dilti? of that office with much earnestne: and with marked ability, l'ossessc of a high onler of talents, and with mind naturally quick and sharp, an well trained to the law, Maj. (?reen eminently fitted for the position ( Solicitor. I Ben. Wood hus again assumed co: trol of tho New York News. Goc luck to him. AdmiralSemmes, now editor of tl Mobile Gazelle, is to bo thc rccipie: of an elegant sword, a present fro officers of the british navy raid number of noblemen of that cou try. A Defence of thc Hebrews. A radical religious paper, of Cin? cinnati, alluding to the splendid new Hebrew Temple, in that city, in? dulges ii L sneering remarks upon tho Hebrews, and the manner in which they made their money, charging them with turning the war to profit. The Israelite, published in tho same city, replies as follows: Instead, however, of revilingothers, let them admonish their neighbors t<> give honor to tifo Ijord, and outdo Jewish churches in splendor and mag? nificence. Hut this is too religious and too charitable for an orthodox sheet; it prefers rovilingits neighbors, who erected a temple which, for splendor and magnificence, outdoes christian churches hero. Why should they not bo reviled, when it, is pub? licly known that they erected a tem? ple to the Most. High! Do they not deservo a slur, a kick, or, at least, an insinuation? That this people, like any other in this country, have become richer din ing the war, cannot bo well de? nied, since, on account of the pub lie debt, 3,000,000,000 of fictitious capital have been cleated for 30,000, 000 of people, so that each man, woman or child in this country is worth SlOO more fictitious capital than he, shu or it was beforo the war. There you have the exact calculation. If the Pene Yeshuran people of Cin? cinnati count 2,500 souls, and each gave up tho $100 surplus fictitious capital, they realized exactly a quar? ter of a million, about the amount expended on the new Temple. From this, we hope the Witness will see that the money was all honestly made in Washington, or somewhere else where greenbacks were manu factured. Wonder how many churches lint? ier. Banks, Buell and Brownlow ? built, to speak only of tho B.'s who amassed fortunes in the late war? Wonder what the whole crowd of shoddies did with their money for the glory of (rod? In Cincinnati, wo have seen nothing except prayer meetings, which cost nothing. The Jew is made of a different metal; he has sense enough to make money and heart enough to'Spend it. "The war was a rich harvest to 4hem." Not quite as rich as to those pious men who robbed thc public treasury of miUions- -the defaulting paymasters, the trading generals, the permit brokers in uniform, the cotton spe? culating patriots aud all the cousins, nephews, uncles, fathers, brothers and grand-fathers of big men, who sucked the marrow of the laud; the Jew was obliged to work for himself, hence he could not expect so rich a harvest-still he made money-at least 8100 each a head. But there is no collection list on record, for re- ' emiting purposes, for feeding pass- ; ing soldiers, supporting soldiers' I families, or any other - . aritable pur? pose to which the Jews, in proportion to number and wealth, did not con- j tribute more, much more, than any other religious denomination. Now. the war over, they do not convert their capital into United States bonds, and retire with tho wealth to places beyond the reach of society and its wants, as four-fifths of all the shod? dies do; they spend fortunes in im? proving the public thoroughfares of tho city, beautifying the private streets and erecting houses of wor? ship to the Most High. The shoddies would not do anything-that's what ails tin; Witness. DECLINE JN- PKICES.-The New York papers announce the breaking up of various speculating movements in the necessaries of life in that, city, which has caused a most gratifying d?clin?e in prices. Fork has fallen four dollars a barrel, wheat from live to eight cents a bushel, and corn eight cents a bushel. Buyers, it is reported, even at these reduced figures, are very scarce. A Mr. J. J. Hofstetter, of Charles? ton, Vvhile on the passage between Charleston and Edisto, in a rowboat, in company with several gentlemen, was instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a gun laying in the bot? tom of tho boat, against which he struck his foot. TIMK.--The vehicle that carries everything into nothing. We talk of spending our time, as if it were, so much interest of a perpetual annuity ; whereas,'?e are all living upon our capital; and he who wastes a single day throws away that which can never bo recalled or recovered. Mrs. Eva Lancaster, wife of an edi? tor in Texas, is conducting the paper while her husband is avoiding arrest by the Freedmen's Bureau. Truly, she is au "help meet" for him in his hour of peril.

Thc Richmond Times thinks that their lato victories may make the radicals conserv?t ?vc. It says: The vast majorities by which the radicals have swept the North, seating them securely in power, may render them so conscious of theil* strength, that all tho wild outcry against {he South, for the hanging ot' our leaders and the confiscation of our property, may possibly cease. We know that the great mass of the? North hate us with an intensity that would startle the devils in hell, and that many a gentle woman in the land of wooden nutmegs and pumpkin pies, und many a white cravatted Puritan divine, minister of thc Prince ol' Peace, would conn- trooping'joyfully, as on a pleasure excursion, to wit? ness tho hanging of thc illustrious ex-president of the Confederate States, or any of our distinguished chieftains. But politicians are gene? rally more practical men. Thc radi? cals saw that the ground was slipping from beneath their feet, and the sceptre of power was about to be snatched from their grasp, and that to retain it they must, by every po? litical falsehood, by every appeal to the Northern masses, lash their passions into a fury that would carry the elections for them; arel they have done it successfully. They promised tho sweet maiden, on the banks of the Connecticut, that she should lap the blood of "trai? tors."' They pledged the holy man of God that he might persecute the Southerners, and thad, they should bc compelled to listen to his nasal preachings for hours at a time, till they were educated or converted and they promised the rest a distribu? tion of our goods and chattels, for it was rigdit that the saints should enjoy the lands of thc sinners. By such and similar appeals, tho radicals, aided by any quantity of electioneering lies and Forney's and Greeley's sensation stories, have swept the North audgot firmly seated once more, in power. They have got what they wanted office; and to enjoy it, they must have quiet. They do not want revolution that would spoil their plans, and pos? sibly oust them from their fat places. Having got. what they chiefly de? sired, and for thc; attainment of which they have, for a year and a half, b< en making such ferocious and blood? thirsty speeches, it is quite probable they will drop that song, become quite conservative and compromise with the President. Getting into power, and being certain of their po? sition, they are very apt to make both men and parties conservative. We shall see if it has that effect the next session of the United States Congress. , RECEIVED THIS D.W. at Nt kl ?f the Columbia ie,- House. .toity r BATEMAN. .v n Farb/?if ami Commission Business. rilli E subscriber having rebuilt his stores, X is prepared to STOKE and SELL COT?
