COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning:, February 24,1867? The Turin"-Strange Developments. The Washington correspondent of a New York paper writes: "A clause was inserted in thc bill hythe Senate, repealing tho law of last session, requiring the Pacific Railroad Company, and certain others West of the Mississippi, to uso Ame? rican iron in tho construction of all railroads in the United States. This feature was intended to protect our manufacturers against foreign com? petition. The Ways and Means Committeo have restored it in the bill." It is stated by the New ?York Ex? press that thc Senate inserted this report in the bill, and without a di? vision, on* motion of Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. Mr. S. stated, in debate, that Welsh and British iron now costs, on the other side, about thirty five dollars per ton, and ninety dol? i??.^. i" PcnnTlvania whore there i? not half rolling matter enough to supply the demand for rail iron, there being, therefore, an absolute necessity to import iron and rails to relay old tracks and to lay thc nume? rous tracks now building, especially in Iowa, and thc North-west gene? rally. Borne amazing facts are forced on the people of that section just now by the high bounty tarif! men in Congress. Some of these aro thus stated: 1. That Welsh iron is being laid on tho Pennsylvania Central Railroad, while to lay the Pacific Railroad, in California, Pennsylvania rails have to he sent to the coast and thence ?o be shipped via Cape Horn to San Fran? cisco, where iron, at half the price, could be had from Wales or England, paying the Government a handsome revenue. 2. That thc cost of rails is such the old railroads cannot afford to keep themselves in good repair. 3. That while heavy food is rotting in some parts of the West, the cost of transportation over heavy taxed rails is so great that not only a large number of the Southern people are suffering, but it is stated many labor? ers at thc East arc sometimes near starving. 4. That whilo Iowa is struggling under unprecedented difficulties to connect with thc Pacific at Omaha, (Nebraska,) the Pacific Road is pay? ing the ironmongers of Pennsylvania from 85 to $8 per ton bounty, and to this extent obstructing the connec? tion of the Pacific Slates with the Atlantic. Such is the result of radical legis? lation. Surely the people of the West and North-west will have their eyes opened, ero long, to the motives of the party headed by Stevens and others of that stripe. While, politi? cally, they are trying to crush the poor unfortunate people of this see tion, they are inflicting upon the peop'e who aid them against us incal? culable injury, as we'll us impeding almost every great interest <>[ the country. And all for what? That Thad. Stevens and his In-other iron? mongers of Pennsylvania may make large profits. Such is the fanaticism of tiie prest nt Congress. THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE. -Weare' highly gratified to learn by a letter received from Washington that au appropriation towards the completion of this fine building will probably be made at thc present session of Congress. The Collector of the Port now on a visit to Washington on official business connected with his office, had obtained au interview and hearing before the Committee of the House, and had receive;! ;i favorable response to his application. ( Charleston Courier. To BE EXECUTED.-Wright Sulli? van, freedman, convicted of highway robbery in this District, and whose case was carried to the Appeal Court, where the sentence of death was pro? nounced upon him, was returned from the Columbia, jail to the jail in this District on Tuesday last, in charge of Deputy Sheriff H. W Barksdale. This prisoner is sen. teneed to be hung next Friday, the 1st of March.-LaurensviHe Herald. SURRATT AND THE COPPERHEADS. The Washington Ledqei; avery funny but malignant radical sheet, in its account of the arival of Surratt, says: We observed several of the leading "Copperheads" of the city in the yard, and one of them was heard to remark that "no twelve men in this District could be found who would convict him." Ono million dollars are to be in? vested in school-houses in Philadel? phia, Abandoning Politics. The Sanders ville (Ga.) Georgian is disgusted vwLh political discussions,, and gives tho following notice of its intention to abandon them altogs ther, and trust in Providence to set things aright: "Wo have about determined that the time and ink bestowed upon the discussion of our political status can be more profitably employed, and herein give notice to those who have been specially edified by our disqui? sitions upon this branch of philoso? phy, that we will let the subject rest for the present. Our readers will re? ceive regularly the news, and it will remain with them to form an opinion as to w hat progress wo are making lu nearing a haven of rest and security. We wish to write more upon subjects that directly concern our material prosperity, and *o awaken a spirit of enterprise and progress in every branch of home industry, satisfied to correct misrepresentations, and that He who "rides upon the storm" will, in his own good time, bring about such issues as will redound to our good and His glory." Our cotemporary is nearly right as regards the discussion of the recon? struction plans of Congress; but, as "eternal vigilance is the price of liberty," and as we expect to get back in the Union in some way, and at some time hereafter, wc think it be? hooves the Southern people to watch closely thc progress of political events; and wc think it to be the duty of Southern journalists to keep 'them thus informed, and to comment freely on such measures as affects their political and material interests. A CONFEDERATE GENEBAL OK SOUTH CAROLINA.-General Albert Pike, poet, politician and soldier, has taken editorial charge of the Mem? phis Appeal. He has some pretty decided criticisms now and then. The latest is on the following despatch from Charleston: CHARLESTON, February 10.-Gov. Orr has just arrived from Washing? ton. Ho expresses himself as con? vinced of speedyfrestoration on thc basis of impartial suffrage. It is un? derstood he will defer convening the Legislature of South Carolina until thc North Carolina Legislature takes action on the new propositions. Whereupon, Pike says: South Carolina did not "wait" foi North Carolina, or any other State, in 1861, when a few of her leaders, urged by hot-headed persons at Wash ington from other States, hurried am precipitated her into secession fo] the avowed purpose of forcing tin other Southern States to secede whether they deemed it wise to do so or rash and premature. We shouh think that Gov. Orr and Gov. Aikei would think it not exactly in thebes taste for South Carolina to be cagei to return into the Union at thc pric< of negro suffrage. LABOR IS ALABAMA.-The Selia: (Ala.) Times says that the dispositioi among planters is to produce a suffi ciency of breads tuffs to supply them selves, at least. There is also a de cided tendency among all to locali/i the laborer. They are always, ii addition to their wages-raging fron ten to twelve and a half dollars pe mouth-allowed an acre or more o land, and a mule to plough it, an< allowed the half of every Saturda; in winch to til! und cultivate it: ii almost all instances medical bill am medicine are furnished them, lt i the opinion that by the experienc of twelve months more the freedmen as a class, will grow to bo good hand and good tenants. The signs of th season are very favorable for ai abundant orup.

BUILDING AND RUINING A CITY-A eoteruporary tells us, pithily, how to build up a city. He says it is to en? courage every one who is worthy and active in spirit to purchase and im? prove property. Go to work stimu? lating enterprises that are legitimate by uniting your industry, influence and capital, in the common "pot." I Cultivate a public spirit, and talk less than you work. Mean what you say, and demonstrate your sincerity by a strict observance of punctuality, liberality and industry. Prefer to wear out your pants about thc feet and let no one see they arc patched in the seat. He then tells us how to ruin a city Run every one off with unreasonable charges for lots and Broadway, New York, rents. Stick your hands in your pockets and discourage every enterprise in every way, if you do not see a dollar in it for your greasy stoekiug.

If combinations cnn be formed in thc sevi ral Districts of the State for joint action, it would, perhaps, facili? tate mutual operations; and where ar? rangements eau be made to advance part '.f the passage money of the laboring im? migrants, by accepted orders to that effect on any of the factors or merchants of Charleston, it would no doubt greatly ad? vance thc result. If the people that favor this measure frould meet at their respect? ive Court Houses to consult and indicate tin ir wants, this Bureau would take great pleasure in serving their interest to tin' last of its ability. A pamphlet will bc printed in several European languages fer distribution, (describing thc capacities and advantages of our soil, climate, produc? tions, etc, in which many particulars, that are promptly furnished, may be advertised.
