COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, Jone 16,1867. Co iilKt ul ion-A mu l-l ii ii I sm. We nave had not much apprehen? sion ubout tho confiscation doctrines enunciated by some of tho politicians of tho country; but wo fenr that, like the call for repudiation, it is getting too familiar in tho ears of the people, and may, in tho end, result in terrible mischief, not only in the South, but all over the country. Gerrit Smith has recently -written n letter upon this subject, from which we mako tho fol? lowing extract: "Confiscation once entered upon, it will bo difficult, if not impossible, to set limits to tho spread of its de? moralizing power. The spirit of law? less greed engendered by confiscation wiU no moro stop at State or other lines than will tho flames of a prairio firo at the word of command. Let there bo confisent' ; in the South for tho benefit of these, Mr. Stevens' loyal losers, and also for the bonofit of tho poor blacks, as he also pro goses; and very soon, under its do auchinginfluence,|immenso numbers ot the North will he clamoring, in the name of "Agrarianism," "Equal? ization," and other taking names, for their neighbors' possessions. And these rich possesbions, it must be remembered, will kindlo tho spirit of robbery, as can none of* the poor possessions of tho desolated South." Tho pe?plo of tho North, where confiscation is not threatened, should reflect upon tho views expressed in the abovo extract. Already, we have men, in several papers, the demand for "equal taxation or repudiation." Next, will come tho cry for an equal division of tho large and fertile farms of the North and North-west into "forty-acre lots," if need bc, when tho peace of the community, nud personal rights throughout, will bo totally upset, and a reigu of aunrchy follow. To strengthen thc apprehension that is beginning to bo felt through? out tho country, there are a few other indications that ought not to ')0 over? looked. Gen. Butler, in a reccut letter, announced it ns "aself-ovident political truth, where the land is held in large tracts by tho employer, and to bo tilled by the employed, there can bo no just and true field for the oxerciso of republican citizenship. And it is one of the pressing exi? gencies of the country, ns tho very basis of reconstruction, that some plan must bo devised by which tho lands of the South may bo divided among thoso who shall occupy and till them." Following him, we havu n speech from Senator Wade, recently deliver? ed in Lawrence, Kansas, which gives the logicul s?quence of Gen. Butler's principio in declaring that property ?B not fairly divided in other parts of the country besides the South, and a moro equal distribution must bo wrought out. This is neither a sectional nor party question, but ono which conics home to every mun of substance, North or South, und, therefore, ns tho Balti? more Sun soys, it is a dangerous thing to familiarize the public mind to conficntiou mid agrarianism in tho South. Thoso doctrines may conn: to have u wider application than was intondod; The seeds of agrarian ideas, so profusely sown over tho Southern soil, have already been wafted to a diff?rent latitude from that which they were intended, and if they do not take root and produce a wide-spread harvest of thorns and briars, it will be because the soil is not adapted to the growth, for the workingmen there know that indus? try, thrift and enterprise ure effectual in thia country tu improve any man's condition. Putting out of view confiscation and agrarian doctrines, we have often, in this journal, expressed our conviction that the large tracts of fertile but uncultivated lands now lying unproductive throughout tho South ought to be apportioned out into moderato farms, either to be leased to industrious tenants or sold to immigrants. Suob a doune would not only give us a population that would aid materially in resuscitating the South aud developing her re? sources, but would put an effectual stop to agrarian doctrines and silence the senseless cry of confiscation. - The subject of female labor came up in the Typographical Convention, at Memphis, Wednesday. Tho ma? jority report recommendedtto admit females to membership in tho Unions. Rev. Mr. Beecher is excoriating tho "personal" advertisements in the New York papers. COSTDT?ED BELLIGERENCY.-The fact that Secretary Seward's profiera of the frieuc'?y mediati?us of (he United States to the various bellige? rent South American States have been respectfully declined, indicates how chronic is tho state of bellige? rency in thoso quarters. Mexico, Brazil, the Argentino Provinces, Pa? raguay, Chili aud Peru have nil been tendered oilr kindly intervention, and each, assuring us. as a lady does a discarded suitor, that abo shall always look upon ns a3 a frieud. has politely begged to bo excused. Mr. Seward's proposition for a peaco con? gress, at Washington, to decido tho dispute botweon Spain mid tho South American republics, bas also been rejected by Peru and Chili. The w ar, civil or foreigu, must continue among the petty South American States. Mr. Seward's genius for pacification cannot exorciso tho demon of discord which reigns supromc among those fiery children of the sun. He does not show tho samo success iu that line on his sido of thc globo that Queen Victoria docs on hers. Sho has been very fortunato in reconcil? ing tho disputants in Europo. There? fore, perhaps, wore it uot for thc in? evitable Mouroo doctrine, which, it is claimed, tolerates uo idea of foreign intervention on tho American conti? nent, her ladyship might bo brought to interpose her friendly offices iu tho affairs of tho South Amoricau re? publics. Wo aro afraid, however, that thoso floreo and impracticable baniams will never bo united iu a "happy family," unless they happen, some day, to run against a military reconstruction bill of tho North Amo? ricau eagle.-Ballimore Sun. A NEW WAY TO PAY OLD DEBTS. The New York Herald has more than squinted at rcpudiatioa since the release of Jefferson Davis. Thc cele? brated aphorism of Jay Cooke, that a "national debt is a uational bless? ing," hos been completely over? whelmed by another aphorism equally ns terse and suggestive. Bouuott says: "If there bo no treason, tho war was all wrong, and tho national debt is a natioual swindle." .Inasmuch as Harper's Weekly and other radical papers begin to prate of remitting that debt; and inasmuch as very few men own the bonds, and very many others have to pay them tribute, iu looks rather squally for the bondmen at home and abroad. The camel is beginning to kick. We find in ouc of our exchanges tho following: An advertisement in the New Ha? ven Register offei'3 a reward of ?$500 for the return of a silver communion set of eleven pieces, engraved as do? nated to Zion Presbyterian Church of Winnsboro, S. C., a silver tea set of three pieces engraved E. I. A., a miniature breastpin on ivory, and a lady's diamond ring engraved J. lt. A. to E. L C., which were taken possession of by a soldier known as Captain Fuller, supposed to belong to the 11th corps, U. S. A., during the march of ( len. Sherman through South Carolina. A GENERAL DISARMAMENT.-The semi-official North German Gazette, of May 28. publishes an article on thc quest iou of a general disarma? ment, in which it says: "Wc know but of one way of effecting this ob? ject-viz: that one great power which might wish to bring about a reduc? tion of its army should oller to take tho initiative, whereupon other pow- ! ers could make known what reduc? tions it would be possiblo for them to effect in their military forces. Wc aro of opinion that this initiative belongs to France, but we doubt whether she will be inclined to take such a course." .4 ? ? - - A CHOICE EPISTLE.-Peirpout, the; Governor of Virginia, in answer to a j request of Paul Bayley to sign a petition for tho pardon of Mr. Davis, writes as follows: COMMONWEALTH or VIROINLI, Executive Department, June 4, Y.7. I* ask for the pardon of no man who will Dot ask for Iiis own pardon. God cannot palliou unless tho trans? gressor first ask for his own purdon. Reason -contrary to thc established law of Cod. P. H. PEI?POST. Rev. PAUL BAGLEY. The Poles act honorably and wisely ! in repudiating tho attack made by a j fanatic madman upon the Emperor ! of Russia. They have undoubtedly j been wroi ged by Russia, and their ? cause looks anything but hopeful;! but any countenance givou to a scheme of murder would have utterly j mined it forever, and deprived them of thc sympathy of tho civilized world. It is said that many of thc "collin! pussons" in Washington roso uti 2 o'clock on the morning of election, I for the purpose of exercising their new privilege of suffrage. They felt like tho boys who get up before daylight on the morning of thc ?lh of July. THE NORTHERN LAKES.-Tho source ' of the supply and tho outflow of tho i great North-western lakes is to bu investigated this year by the United StatesGovcrnmtnt. There has here? tofore been much discussion, but uo investigation upon this interesting subject. Tho great speech of female suf? frage in Parliament is styled politi? cal Mill-inery. Oue of the Japanese Dalmois has a yearly income ol' over $900,000. I DlSTlt?SR IX IltLIiAXD.-Painful ac counts come from the West of Ire laud, where a winter of unusual severity has been experienced. Tho London Slar says : Ominously startling features of tho former famine aro already re-appear? ing. Fever and nakedness, and the palsied look of hopelessness, accom? pany chronic hunger, as of old, while there is tho terrible novelty of cattle diseases, which are so virulent that tho despairing people seldom ever skin tho stricken beasts nnd sheep, but leave them unburied where they faU. Tho imminence of pestilence from this sourco is aggravated by tho fact that tho carcasses of pigs dying from the murrain nre being fed upon by tho more destitute of the Buffer? ers, for the price of the two local staples of food, namely, potatoes and Ind inn meal, is now much beyond what the ordinary miserable wages of the district would supply. But even such aro no longer being earned. Employment, there is virtually none. Thero is no scope for it, and no menus of payment, if thero were-the few large lauded proprietors having to go without their rents in great part, if not altogether. Emigration lins boon carried to ks uttermost limits, and further exodus is impossible, for luck of thc wherewithal to sustain it. GOOD ADVICE TO MECHANICS AND LAHOREKS.-A Northern exchange advises every mechanic and laborer to buy a house nnd lot in or beyond the suburbs of a town or city-if possible, an acre. It says if the spot is not inviting, it may be made so by trees, shrubbery and cultivation. Tho paper from which we quote says: "Secure tho land, and your credit will at once be raised fifty per cent. A mechanic living on rent throws away all the improvements he may make. He accumulates little or nu capital around him. On the other hand, when he has a home he can call his own, everything he does counts something. All bis labors cluster. Ho has a home of his own. and t is his pride and pleasure tn adorn it to the best of his ability.*' SI N STROKE.-The New York Ca telle, of Saturday, records several cases of sun stroke of recent occur? rence in that city. That journal wisely aunonncos as the best pre> veutive "not to stay in the .-un;'* bul when this cannot be followed, ar excellent precaution is to place som< green leaves or grass in thc crown ol tho hat. The most essential precnu tion, however, is to let icc watt i alone. Drinking this while exposci to the sun is bidding for an attack o sun stroke, and any disnrrungcuien of tho digestive organs, as well as tin loss of appetite, makes tho rial greater. YOUNG Luniks ARRESTED IN FI.?MU OA.-Tho Bainbridge Argus learn from Hie Mariana Courier that om Capt. Hamilton, of the Freedmen' Bureau, ordered the arrest of two o three young ladies of that placo, upoi the charge of desecrating the grave of Union soldiers. Considerable ex citcinent was created by the proceed ing. The ladies, with their friends made their appearance Indore th Captain, ami an investigation wa hail, in which no reliable evidenc was introduced lo support the charge and the young ladies were inline diately released from arrest. It is stated as a remarkable fae that, whereas not a single lineal am legitinipte descendant of Charles J of England is now in existence, tb descendants of the Protector are t be found in every rank of life sboi of royalty. Hiram Powers, the great America sculptor, who bas been for thirl yoars absent in Italy, writes to friend in Washington that ho i coming back to the United States i the tall. He is now about sixty yeal of age. Thurlow Weed says of female sn frage that it means also female, olliei holding, and "if women tbeuiselvi can afford to change thus radical] all their relations, we shall not fe at liberty to oppose thom.*' Mr. Seward is said to li:.ve <.: pressed the belief that the Mexicni would not put Maximilian to deal! but Mr. Seward has not been ver fortunato in his judgment of win Other people would or would not il Says the Nalion: To talk of mal ing tho South pay anything now preposterous. Mr. Stevens has lieut tho proverb about the difficulty "taking the brocks oil' a Higlilan man."' The surplus ol* the wheat harve in Georgia, it is estimated, will rea? 10,000,001) bushels. - Baltimore Sun Or $30,000,000 worth. That stat nient won't do.
