COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, May 26, Difficult te? of Reconilrnc^|on4k Splendid P?uagt.' Daniel Webster, one of the moat eminent statesmen who graced the councils of th? nation, on au occa? sion, several years ago, discussed the question of the future of tho Govern? ment of the United States. It would appear that, on the occasion referred to, he was gifted somewhat with the spirit of prophecy, for, in tho course of his speech, with that splendor of diction which always marked hjs^eloi quouce, he warned his countrymen of the solemn duty of guarding, with scrupulous jealousy, the noble heritage of constitutional freedom, which their ancestors had won and bequeathed to them. He depicted, evon ut that time, the' perils to which this noble heritage and magnificent birth-right waa oxposed, and how difficult it would bo to recover their liberties, should they once be lost. As appropriate to tho present un? happy juncture in the political affairs of the country, wo quote the follow? ing eloquent extract from the speech referred to : '.Other misfortunes may bo borne or their effects overcome. If war should sweep our commerce from tho ocean, another generation may renew it; if it exhaust our treasury, future industry may replenish it; if it deso? lates and lays* waste our fields, still, under a new cultivation, they will grow green and ripen to futuro har? vest. It wero but a trifle, even if the walls of yonder capitol were to crum? ble, if its lofty pillars should fall, and its gorgeous decorations bo co? vered by the dust of the valley. "All those might bo rebuilt. But vho shall reconstruct tho fabric of tho demolished Government? Who shall roar again tho well-proportioned columns of constitutional liberty? Who shall frame together tho skillful architecture, which unites national sovereignty with State rights, indi? vidual security and public prospe? rity? Now, if these columns shall fall, they will be reared not again. Like the Coliseum and the Pantheon, they will be destined to melancholy, mournful immortality. Bitterer tears, however, will flow over them than were ever shed on the monuments of the Kornau or Grecian art, for they will be the remnants of a moro glo? rious edifice than Greece or Rome ever saw-the edifico of Constitu? tional American Liberty." "Who shall reconstruct the fabric of a demolished Government?" What a momentous question! How solemnly do these words echo from tho midst of thc accomplished ruin he foresaw, while be yet lived in the glory and strength of the RepublicI We cannot look to his successor, the Nutick shoe? maker, as a recoustructor. We would expect in vain to find iu the flippant and polished Sumnor the genius or skill for such a work. And, oh! how different the masterly eloquenoe of the speech wo quote from, from tho demagoguish and partisan harangues of him who occupies Webster's chair. The ago of intellect nal giants, we fear, hos passed away forever in this couu try, and as far as tho present genera? tion is concorned, we havo to lumout that there aro nouo left who can "frame tho skillful architecture which unites natioual sovereignty with State rights-individual securityaudpublic prosperity." All the master archi? tects of thc temple of State havo do parted, aud a race of pigmy politi? cians have soized upon its pillars and demolished tho fair fabric. Dare wo hopo that some master spirits will yet bo raised up who can avert thc doom and prophecy enunciated by this great .statesman of Massachusetts, in the above extract, that "if these columns should full, they would bc reared not again." Let us hope and pray, and each iu his sphere do his share in the . work. - DEATH OI> C. J. ELFORD, ESQ.-We ragrot to learn, through a friend, of tho death, at an early hour, yester? day morning, of C. J. Elford, Esq., au energetic aud prominent citizen of Greenville. Mr. E. was a member of tho Baptist Church. - WU? KELLY DIDN'T SI'E\K IN AU? GUSTA.-It is stated that tho reason Judge Kelly refrained from speaking in Augusta was because of an intima? tion from General Pope that there had been controversy enough in his Uno. In Paris, you eau buy a neat and excellent, and oven pretty, clock for twenty-fivo couts. In Germany and Switzerland, of course, they aro even cheaper. A clock for the price of a peck of potatoes! What is the import duty on such clocks, we bou? der? _ m _ Jl.nufttcturlng Im thu State. Th* editor ol-the firqpnTille Enter prisej in his .jpist isaue^* m?|Dtion| a visit Ile made, a few days sino*, to one or twq factories io that District. Ono factory, belonging to Messrs. John W. Grady and Mr. Hawthorne, is situ? ated six and a half miles below Greenville, on Keedy Uiver, and is in fino working order. Tho editor says it was pleasing to observe so large a number of contented and good-look? ing operatives, industriously and pro? fitably engaged in tho establishment. In this factory, there aro 1,050 spin? dles in running order, and twenty-six looms, twenty of which are regulnrly at work, making an average, nt times, nf 1,000 yards of osnaburgs daily. Tho spindles not only furnish yarn for the looms, but a daily surplus be? sides, of fifty or sixty bunches. Tho woolen factory, on the same pre? mises, hos n carding machine and spinners, und turns out a very excel? lent article of cloth. It is the inten? tion of the owners to manufacture a line article of jeans for the fall' mar? ket. Connected with this establish? ment, arc five corn and flour mills, n saw-mill, and a small machine shop. Greenville District has four cotton factories, running about 3,700 spin? dles. Batesville factory is tho largest. We aro gratified to record these evi? dences of enterprise and industry in the upper Districts of thc State. With tho magnificent water power at our disposal, had our people capital, we believo thoy could have five manu? facturing establishments where only ono is now in operation. In the upper and middle Districts, especially, all the way down to Columbia, there is water power sufficient to drive all thc factories now running ia New Eng land. We -uro of opinion that thc time is not distant when the people of South Carolina will avail them selves of these natural advantages and transfer a portion of their capita and industry from their old and hal' worn ont cotton lands to more activ? and profitable employment in manu factories of all kinds. Such a move ment would be a great stride to rea independence. tlc pud lat lon. People soon get familiarized witl many things deemed outrageous am wrong by frequent discussion. Th New York Herald, in speaking of Mr Davis* release, refers to what it call "the nnder-swell of indignation," oi account of this act of the authorities and thinks that repudiation of th national debt will be one of the fruit of this ignoring of tho crime of tren son. Thc New York Tribune publishes communication from one of its coi respondents, advising and urging th remission or forgiveness, as he call it, of the eutiro Federal debt, and h I reasons that in tho reduced cost c provisions, clothes, rent, kc., th country, on thc whole, would gai by it: .Tn the straightforwardness < Gen. Grant," ho says, "I propos that tho next legislators in any Stub as well as tho next Congress of a the States, and the next President < thc United States, shall all be put o a platform involving this element < tho remission of tho national deb Let each belong to this benevolei society, and let each be sworn to tl support of its principles, and then h tho issue go before the people." There are fow citizens of the Unit* States at this time, cither North < South, who entertains, foramomen any idea of repudiation; but mo unpopular and impracticable vie\ on public affairs havo been seiz< upon by ambitious and unpriuciph politicians, and mado thc rallyii cry and nucleus of a party orgauiz tion. The very frequency cf mcuti( mado by Northern papers of rcmi siou or repudiation of tho nation public debt brings tho subject tho minds of tho people, ai dishonest demagogues will fit enough disaffected, ignorant ai crafty persons to catch np this rall ing cry. No true-hearted citizi could give his aid or countenance fastening such a disgrace on his cou try. _ ^_ -?-??-? SEA ISLAND COTTON.-The Charh ton Mercury has in its office a spc men Sea Island cotton plant, of tl year's growth, raised on the farm Mr. T. H. Jervey, in Christ Oh ur Parish, tho stalk of which is t inches long, and which, from the ei of tho root to the tijis of thc t leaves, will measure over sixte inches. That is an extruordinn size for cotton to attain at this s( son. AN UNTOBTUNATH 'AFFAIR. -?WI TO gret to stake that a very melancholy And tinforfcunato affair occurred in the neighborhood of Clinton, at the resi? dence of tibe deceased, on last Satur? day evening, which resulted in the 'death ol Elias Compton. It seems that some family difficulty had oc? curred, creating a rencounter between the deceased and his wife's brother, John M. Thompson, a youth, who. was living with them, in wbioh the deceased was stabbed several times with a pocket knifo by his brother in-law, from the effects of which ho died on Sunday oveuiug. [Laurensville Herald. A bit of sharp practice has been going on at Hudson, New York. A man contracted to purchase a farm. Tho "forfeit" was 8500. A few weeks subsequent to this transaction, a third party came und offered the original owner an advance of $1,500 for the farm. The seller "backed water" aud paid the forfeit, when purchaser number two "didn't want to buy." Several parties have been duped in tho same manner within a short time. A strong story of coincidences is told by on English paper-that at Liverpool two women in different localities, each carrying a grand? child down a stairway, stumbled and fell. In each instance thc child was uninjured, but the womnu died the sumo evening. The unmo of each womau was Elizabeth Flommiug. Wo should rather bo excused from believing tho whole of that story. We aro willing to admit that the two women fell down stairs. Bolting Cloths. BEST ANCHOR BRANDS, assorted numbera. May 26 FISHER ft LOWRANCE. Belting! Belting! ! BEST VULCANIZED I. R.
