COLUMBIA. Sunday. Morning, November ?O, 1867. Let us Hop?. Re-action has commenced, and the sober second thought of the Ameri? can people has at last developed itself in action, condemning most em? phatically the principles and policy of the party in power. Nothing but euch a stern rebuke at the ballot-box could haye checked the mad course of the party politicians who have held the reins of Government for the past six years, and we hope-nlthough it is almost hoping against hope that it will have the desired effect the salvation of the country. , Now comes the time for the South to commence in earn ?nt tl?? 'work cf recuperation. She must make some sacrifices, it is true; but her impera? tive duty is to promote immigration from the Northern States and Eu? rope. The largo land-owners should, with readiness, divide their estates into small parcels, and sell them upon terms, as liberal as land can be ob? tained in the Western States and Territories. The Baltimore Sun coinoides with the opinion frequently oxpressed in J the editorial oolumns of the Phoenix, that such a sub-division and sole of portions of their property to enter? prising men from abroad will make the. remainder that they retain for their own use as valuable, from the increased markets which will thereby be created for various descriptions of industry, as the whole now is. These immigrants must bo invited not to occupy, in any respect, a position of inferiority, but, from their training in industrial habits and enterprises, as conferring benefits as great as they can possibly receive. An intelligent and laborious popu? lation, invited and received upon ?quai terms, and co-oporating with the present proprietors in tho culti? vation of the soil and development of the resources of the South, in mining, manufacturing and the me ohanio arts, would make her future prosperity certain aud add largely in averting the dismal fate with which she is now threatened* Meantime, a great and noble fortitude is to be ex? ercised; both as regards tho political and material situation. Wo have frequently given this counsel, but if over it was necessary it is at the pre? sent juncture. THE ALABAMA CONVENTION.-The Montgomery Mail states that, agreea? bly to military order, the delegates to misrepresent and frame a Constitution for Alabama, assembled in thnt city on the 5th. The delegates are com? posed of fourteen negroes and a few Soulhern men, while the remainder is composed in the main of Northern political adventurers, who are not1 identified with Alabama and her pros? perity. Nearly all the delegates are wholly unknown to the people. IBHAZIL ITEMS.-Later advices from ; Brazil have been received. Tho An gio Brazilian Times has the following items*: It announces tho closing of tho 'Legislativo session of the Imperial Chambers, in which tho Ministerial party, in favor of tho vigorous 'prose? cution of the war with Faraguay, was ?ri um pinn it over a strong opposition. A credit of 850,000,000 lins been voted, one-half of which will bo em? ployed iu recalling the State bank notes. Tho commerce of Brazil with Eu? rope is daily increasing, A lino of fifteen screw steamers from Liverpool, is plying regularly between tho two countries, with many others from Southampton and Bordeaux, and the mail service by those steamers is done gratuitously. The same paper contains an in? teresting letter from a well known Alabamian, Maj. C. G. Gunter, who, .since December, 18G5, has resided on the Rio Doce. He speaks in tho highest terms of the country, the people and the Government. Every cereal, as well as tropical plants, grows to perfection; cotton, sugar, tobacco, coffee, rice, mandioca, the great food crop of the Empire, corn, beans, potatoes, as well ns every variety of fruits. Game is abundant, and fish stocks every stream. The Minister of Agriculture, Sena? tor Dantas, has placed at the disposal of the Major, a tract of 5,000,000 acres of publio land, to bo sold at 2'? cents per acre, on a crodit of four years. Tho Maryland militia wear gray. Tho radicals say that this is incon? sistent with "a Republican form of Government" Karo pe. Has England been blotted out from tho map of Europe, or bas her gracious sovereign really fallen .a vic? tim to Fenian revenge? The cable despatches for the last two months bring ns news from overy other nation-reported alliances ' between Russia aud Prussia, between France and Austria, and between Prussia and Italy, and that Franco and Italy entertain hostile purposes towards eaoh other. By the cable, on the 4th instant, we had a despatch which stated that a St. Petersburg journal published an official copy of a note, jointly signed by Russia, France, Prussia and Italy, addressed to the Sultan of Turkey, on the Eastern question. We have all these; but we h*T nothin ? by the cable from that coun? try, upon whos^ shores one end of it is attached, and whose proudest boast in former, days, was that she was mistress of the clement through which the electrio cable passes. We never hear a word about England now. The time was when her voice was potential in every European con? troversy, and her arbitration was deemed decisive. But, as tho Loudon Times said a short time ngo, England should relinquish her claims to lead? ership in Europe, unless she was willing to pay tho cost of such a posi? tion, in keeping up a largo standing army. The Times, in the article al? luded to, argued that the English cannot bo at the same timo, a great commercial and wealthy nation, and support such military establishments as those of thc Continental powers. Lord Brougham once said, that Eng? land was bound over to koep the peace, in ?800,000,000, tho amount of her national debt. No wonder, therefore, that in the midst of tur? moil, she appears to be quiet. A heavy national debt, aud a discon? tented people, are very strong curbs upon ambitiou and greed for power. Tho people of the United States should read the lesson that England teaches. Tho Charleston papers notico the arrival at that city, of tho old and favorito ante-war steamer James Adger. She is now attached to the line between Charleston and New York, of which tho Messrs. Street Brothers and Courteney & Trenholm are agents. The Adger has been overhauled and completely rejuvenat? ed, and no expense has been spared in her outfit. Her present comman? der, Captain T. J. Lockwood, is an efficient and obliging officer. This line consists of ?he Manhnttun, Charleston, Champion and James Adger-all first class boats. THB RECENT ELECTIONS AT TUE Noirrn.-The National Intelligencer congratulates the country on the ro sult of Tuesday's election. It says: "Tho people of New York have an? nounced that they have done with radicalism. There is hardly a town or county in tho Stato that has not signified its disapprobation of the radical programme- of destruction. Whilo Connecticut and California have beaten back tho wiugs, Now York has pierced the centre of the cohorts of radicalism, and written upon their beaten banners the talis? manic words: 'Tho Constitution and the laws sholl be obeyed.' Even the old Bay Stato wheels into line, and shakes off the shackles of radical des? potism. New Jersey uud Wisconsin follow, and gud^ut old Mary land always for the Constitution and tho Union, whether against Southern or Northern rebels-gives almost an unanimous support." Tho Now York Herald closes its comments as follows: "Tho decision of New York State iu this year's contest has been looked for with anxiety all ovor tho Union ; and tho loss of the Stato by tho Re? publicans will be more effectual than tho fifty thousand radical falling off iu Ohio, in finally disposing of Mr. Chase and his national bank and | negro supremacy platform. Ever since the war-with the oxception of the temporary reaction of 1862-the State of New York has voted steadily on the side of the Republican party, and her verdict now is against the re? volutionary policy of the radical Congress, rather than an endorsement of tho Democracy. It is a triumph of tho conservative soutiment of the country, which now rebukes and re? pudiates those who, disregarding the popular voice, re-opened the agitation for tho purposo of forcing negro rule upon the South and securing a negro balanco of power in tho National Go? vernment." A littlo girl, named Catherine Isler, was choked to death in Buffalo, on Fridav night, by worms crawling from her stomach into her month. TUB OUTSIDE SOUTHERN STATES TO BK HURRIED UP.-From all tho signs of the, times in the North, the radi? cals will need the support o? tho ten outside Southern States in the Pre? sidential election? and it is altogether probable, therefore, that .under the present system of reconstruction they t will be hurried through the mill aha reinstained in Congress in- sfe?eon td vote for President next November. The late Southern elections make this the safe polioy, it is thought, for the radicals, and they begin to per? ceive that' further delays may be dangerous.-New York Herald. LOOK OUT.-Our North Carolina papers speak of a villain in the shape of a peddler, who has been traversing the country. ' selling paste for bur? nishing silver, fcc In various places where this individual has been, bur? glaries occur. It is supposed that this scoundrel's peddling is a pre? tence to ascertain who has silverware and where it is kept, so as to give his accomplices knowledge. He is very apt to come to certain parts of this State.-Lancaster Ledger. Mrs. Helen Smith, who lives in Oxford Place, Boston, Mass., was seized by a man, while walking in Harrison avenue, on the night of the 27th, who blindfolded her, and then cut her throat, inflicting a probably fatal wound. The woman thinks it was her husband, with whom she had not been living for some time. The Richmond (Va.) correspondent of the Boston Journal speaks of de? moralization among the younger classes of the negro population as fearfully increasing. Tho habit of indolence, everywhere prevalent, breeds thievishness, intemperance and licentiousness. The jails are all filled. A new Democratic paper, thc Tele? graph, is to bo started in New York, by leading financial men and institu? tions, who foresee ruin in a further indulgence of radical rule. The joint capital invested is $600,000, with a readiness to increase to any amount. The working men of Norwich, Eng laud, 10,000 strong, v/ho aro made voters by tho new reform bill, are determined to send ono of their own class to Parliament, and aro organ? izing with this view. The Mexican Government refuses to hold any intercourse with miuisters and consuls of foreign Goverments. Santa Anna has been released, and has arrived in Havana. m --i Columbia Base Ball Club. milE MEMBERS wi!! attend a regular JL monthly meeting.

The first locomotive and traiu of cars passed over the Kansas River at Lawrence, Saturday, on a temporary bridge. OBITUARY. Departed tin? Ufe, cn tho 18th o" Octo? ber, 1867, JOHN T., eldest sou of Mr. and Mrs. C. D. Eberhardt, aged nine years, eleven months and ten days. "Blessed are tho dead "who die puro in heart." His life, liko tho dew-drop of morn, was exhaled, And passed in its sweetness away, Like tho young bud of summer, ero the storm cloud assailed, It withered and drooped iu a day. Departod this life, in Nashville, Tonn., on the Uth of August; 1867, FANNIE CA? THARINE, daughter of Thomas and Rosa Walsh, in tho eighteenth year of her age. Tho deceased was a native of Columbia, S. C., and only a low months sinco was among us in tho enjoyment of health; but death, the relentless destroyor, heeded not her youth. A violent illness of three weeks terminated her earthly career, and thc grave closed over all that was mortal of loved and lamontcd Katu. Throughout her illness, rho maintained a christian-likn resignation to tho will of Qod, and not tho least murmur was beard to escupe her lips. She was warm in her attachments and friendships; and to ber parents a most affectionate and dutiful daughter. She lived for others more than herself, and her loving nature stopped not to cousidor any? thing a sacrifico by which abe could pro? mote the welfare of those most dear to her. She was tho object of much endear? ment to her relatives and associates, and though far away from tho friends and borne of her childhood, yet her gentleness and many amiable qualities won friends even among strangers. The afllicted parents made every sacri? fice for their dutiful, generous-hoarted, self-saeriiicing child; yet, just when emerging into womanhood, suddenly they havo been called upon to givo up their darling Kate. Weep not, bereaved ones, though home and cherished friends will miss her gentle voice and smile; yet, if we are fuit!ifni, when life is ended, wo will spend an endless eternity together. Thou hut-t gone, beloved ono, and though thy loss be keenly felt by all who loved thoo best, yet they would not bid thee stay where all things must fade away-for in that happy homo thou wilt now enjoy that bliss which ia alono eternal, and will, for? ever, with tho angels of Hoaveu, sing hal? lelujahs around tho throne of God. "Leaves havo their time to fall, And Howers to wither at tho North wind's breath, And stars to set; but all, Thou hast all seasons for thine own, 0 death!" A FRIEND.
