COLUMBIA. i "^teraday Merlins, Nov. 14,1867. Hanl Time? thia Winter. Wo learn Jrom ono of our New York oxchangc-H, that the iiuaucial jpKwpcet grows worse and worse in - ' $bat" groat commercial emporium, fiundrpds of houses in that and other cities are said to bo on the brink of ' ruiu, and bow they can bo saved, is a question that no one seems capable . of solving. A New York merohant states that in sixteen years experi? ence, Ito has never seen trade so dull as it is at prosent, and another states that unless business improves, there ' -will be a greater crash before the 1st of January, than that of 1857. It is further stated, that prices have gono down to an extent that I must be ruinous to houses that have large stocks on hand; but even the largo reduction of prices fails to tempt buyers. The banks are shut? ting down on commercial paper, and merchants who have large payments to make, many of them will have to go into liquidation, while Wall street grows more uneasy every day. There is a larger number of people, in every . branch pf industry, out of employ? ment at tho North, than there ever was at this season of the year; and that number, it is thought, will be greatly increased during the winter. The people and the press at the { North have good reason to believe, as they do, that thoy are on the eve of the hardest time experienced since 1837. In this frightful condition of the I business world at the great commer? cial centre of the Northern and East? ern States, it behooves tho impove? rished people of this section to pre? pare for the coming storm, and, if possible, to avert the evils which always and without fail follow com? mercial revulsions like that now threatened. Economy and industry should bo the order of the day; while the producers of ?heir fertile soil should bend all their energies to raise tho necessary provisions for man and beast. There are now hun? dreds of thousands of non-producers among us, more than in former times, and they must live. If one class does not work, they must neverthe? less have something to eat and to wear; whilst the other class, the Widows and orphans which the war has bequeathed us, must be support? ed. This condition of affairs should be taken into serious consideration by our planters and farmers, and for this season, at least, let them devote their means and labor to the produc? tion of food for the poverty-stricken people. No man who loves the South, or who wishes to see her pros? per, should now withhold his hand from any work that he con do, whe? ther it may be considered respectable 0 or not. The idea of simply making money or amassing a fortune, in these times, should be banished from the minds of the Southern people; but, by united efforts, they can manage to live through the present crisis, for which they will be hereafter thankful. -' ? m ? ? SWINGING AUOUND TUE CIKCLE. Uko. National Intelligencer, in jubilat? ing over the late elections, says: "Let ns go on swinging around the circle," and does it in this style: "Tho stars look ns if cast into tho sky at random. But thero is for every one nu allotted orbit. Circle beyond circle expands iuto space, at each round holdiug its own particular star, and all is sublime order. So tho mysterious but uuerriug geometry of the general mind follows tho in? visible orbits of its own sky, from time to timo striking into glory tho star of the hour and tho place." Upon which tho yew York Tribune facetiously comments: "That is vfcry fine. Wo don't know that wo over read anything liner in a daily newspaper. Tho mysterious * geometry of tho general mind strik? ing into glory the star of the hour and the place, ia a burst of poetrv which Miltou never equaled and Widt Whitman baa hardly surpassed. But tho editor of tho Intelligencer must not swing round tho circl" so hard. Ho gets up splendid lire works, but ho is mistaken when he thinks that 'all is sublime order.' " The National Intclli gencer says that ?e session of Congress from No? bber 21st to the lirsfc Monday in ??? iii r, will bo dovoted to im hment; and if the House refuse peach tho President, a resolu n censur? Will bo offered as au ativo measure. If they can't 1 Mr. ?Johnson they can umko ' at him. THE COTTON TAX.-A writer "in the Journal of Commerce says: The present tax on cotton ia about one penny sterling per pound. ,If England should impose a tux of one ponny on every ponnd of cotton imported into the United Kingdom, not grown on British soil, many peo? ple would say that Great Britain was protecting her inferior staple from American competition. But if Urude Sam kindly saves Great Britain tho imposition of this tax by annually offering twenty millions, moro or lesB, of American money to stimulate the growth of British cotton, does not the conclusion seem forced upon us that there is much truth in the old saw, the fool and his money aro soon parted? If "protection to home industry" be the polioy of the nation, ought not the agricultural industry of tho South be protected against the pau? per labor of the rice-eating millions of India? H not protected, ought not this brunch of industry at least enjoy the privilege of free trade? We do rely, and have for a long time chiefly relied, on cotton to keep up our ena of the balance of trade. Is it well to kill, for ib? feathers, the goose which lays the golden egg? If our revenue demand the existing tax on cotton, ought not the cereal crops of this country to bo taxed in the same proportion, say thirty-three per cent, of their ante-bellum value? Are there objections to a wheat tax, which do not apply to the cotton tax as far as revenue is concerned? No one objects to the South paying her portion of the revenue, but what portion of tho revenue law exempts the South from tho taxos the North has to pay? If, the South bo poor, shall we adopt tho Scriptural policy, stud take from him that hath not even the little that ho hath? Can no stronger inducement than special taxation be held out to immi? grants, in order that the South may be repopulated? .If the freedmen be tho "nation's wards," is it the part of an houest guardian to take twenty per cent, of tho product of tho iudustry of its wards, in addition to other taxes? PEOM "WASHINGTON.-We extract the following from a special despatch to the Baltimore Sun, of Monday: "It is expected that tho President will, during the present week, appoint \ successor to Mr. Stanton, as Secre? tary of War. As yet, no selection has been mode; but it is believed the Executive is desirous of bringing into his Cabinet one who is as near as may be the type of the conserva? tive sentiment of the people as evinced in the recent elections. Buch an one the late Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, was regarded, and it was understood, in official circles, that he was to succeed Mr. Stanton, who, as before stated in theso de? spatches, will probably bo removed outright under the authority of law as it stood prior to the passage of the tenure of offioe Act The latter Act is construed by the President as in? valid, BO far as it applies to Cabinet officers. By some, the first section of that law is interpreted as applying only to members of Cabinet actually appointed by Mr. Johnson; and as Mr. Stanton never received a formal nomination by the present Executive, his case, it is argued, does not come within tho terms of tho tenure of office law. "The dismissal of Mr. Bradley from the District of Columbia bar yester? day, by the Supremo Court of this city, bas been to-day the subject of criticism among lawyers. Whilst it is admitted that tho conduct of Mr. Bradley may have been sufficient to waraut his dismissal upon regular hearing in the mode usual, it is never? theless claimed that an attorney can? not be discharged except upon spe? cifications filed and trial had thereon ; that this procedure, which ended in the dismissal of Mr. Bradley, wa?, as presented by the record, merely n -.ase of contempt, the penalty for which only goes so far as l'uni and imprisonment. It will bo recollected that the matter grow ont of the trial >f Barratt, Mr. Bradley being one of ;ho prisoner's counsel. * A groat dc il jf partizan feeling was manifested by joth parties during the trial, and the parties pro and cou aro equally well lefined. Now the trial in nil its phases is regarded by eminent law? lers as tho most disgraceful in the in nair, of jurisprudence." DEATH OF ONE OV THE AZTEC CHTL DHEN.-Since the opening of Dan Jastello's great show in this city, there has been on exhibition adjoin? ing it, but disconnected, wo believe, with tho eirena company, a young man and his sister, tho former about twenty-five y curs of age, and tho lat? ter about twenty, both of whom were deformed, and have evidently boen idiotic from birth. They wero gen? erally known as tho Aztec children, ind their peculiar physical couformn tions made them objects of sufficient ittraction to exhibit to the public for pecuniary consideration. On Monday the man sickened, died, and was yes? terday buried m Myroolia Cometary, is we learn.-Charleston Courier. Salnave, tho new negro President if Hayti, ia said to bo taking mea? sures to secure himself in the per? manent occupancy of the Breiteten tia! mair. ! A DBVHJM? P?KW.--We are no sensationalists, boi we cannot shut our eyes to tbe alarming fact tbat tb? negroes mean mischief. On Satur? day, a negro of conservative princi? ple?, named Bernard Brooks, lodged complaint -with Justice,Bruce, a mng istrate of Campbell, that Jacob Jones and Jacob Johnson, two negro radi? cals, living in the County near Mc? Allister's shop, were preparing to kill him, and asked for a warrant for their arrest. Tho warrant was issued aud placed in the hauds of Constable George M. Bruce, aud the nooused were arrested and brought to the oity, where they were partially ex? amined before Justices 1). P. Reese, James M. Langhorne, and George M. Bruce, which resulted in the pri? soners being committed to jail for further hearing on Friday next. Among the witnesses examined was Mrs. D. McAllister, who stated that negroes to tho number of fifty or moro had been holding frequent meetings on ber husband's planta? tion, seven miles below the city, on the Bichmond road, and that she finally had her suspicions aroused to such a pitch, that she determined to see what was going on. Friday night she went to tho house where a meet? ing was being held, and upon near? ing, found a dog tied, as she suppos? ed, to give the alarm should any one approach. Returning to her own house, near by, she provided herself with bread to give the dog to keep bim quiet, succeeded in her plan, and finally reached tbe cabin undiscover? ed. There she benrd the negroes disenssing the mode by which diffei ent white people in the neighbor? hood were to be killed, amongst whom was her husband, who waa to be shot. Other whites were pro? nounced too mean to be granted so respectable a death, and a grape-vine halter was deoreed them. The negro mentioned above, Bernard Brooks, was included in the list of those who were to bo killed, his offence being his conservatism, and short work was to be mado of him with a grape-vine. Further developments of the plans of these blood-thirsty villains were made, and the lady became complete? ly satisfied from what sbo heard that they were preparing to carry them into speedy execution. Among the negroes present on tb*1 occasion, Jacob Johnson and Jacob Jones were identified, and others also, warrants for whoso arrest were issued, and will be at once executed. The negroes nnder arrest are the lowest and most ignorant of their class, and are just such creatures as can be relied on to do the murderous work, which the teachings of the white scoundrels in our midst have prepared them for, and are urging them to. These diabolical men, with white skins but block hearts, will yet be caught, and then for them-a grape-vine and the nenrest tree. [Lynchburg News, 11th. SANTA ANNA AND MEXICO.-Poor old Santa Anna has been tried and sen tenced to eight years' banishment from his native land. The ancient leader of the Chnrch party is again to retire to his lofty perch upon the island of St. Thomas and analyze the causes of his last failure to start a Mexican revolution. The truth is, that there are no elements left ia Mexico ns a basis for revolutionary effort. The people aro tired of the bloodshed which the Church party has occasioned, and are now de? termined to inaugurate an era of peace and prosperity. There are, however, some interests at work which are still inimical to Mexican stability, and these are the French war debt and Maximilian's loans United they compriso $250,000,000. Louis Napoleon triad to foist Gene? ral Ortega into a transient power sufficiently long to have him sign a treaty acknowledging thu interven? tion debts, but it was a miserable failure. The late Santa Anna move? ment was in the same direction, and also a failure. It speaks "well for Mexican stability. As matters stand now, Santa Anna may go *,o St. Thomas or come to Staten fslaud, and, with his "honest Iago" ?j? ?rota? ry, commence new plottings for re? volution or for empire. At all events, the old Church champion has saved his body this time on the plea of im? becility; next time we doubt if he will be so successful. I New York Hrrahl. A HINT TO G EN ER AT, WAOENER. Tho Laud Commissioner nt Wash? ington has received a communication from some parties in England, as to the destination of somo 00,000 emi? grants who design leaving that coun? try to try their fortunes iu this. We learn that he lins referred tho appli? cants to tho plains ns the best point, foi it settlement. Kow, notwith? standing tho great influence of a re? commendation from the United States Laid Commissioner, might not our immigration commissioner induce at least .? few hundred of mese 50,000 dissatisfied English peo? ple to purohase some of tho idle lands of South Cand?na, and settle down among men descended from an English stock and retaining, in a great measure, tho manners, habits and customs of their ancestors?

CONOBE83 Do?-There \ is much question und discussion us to what the President will do in view of the result of tho elections and the assembling of Congress, and there ure stories of arming aud disarming of militia and musteriug of troops,' and other acts of pitiful mnguifloence on the part of the Chief Magistrate, fiat this is not the case for discussion. Wo know very well what the Presi? dent will do. He will do for once just what he ought to-stand still. Or if he commits auy offence ngainst public propriety, it will only be in a message making some ridiculous in? terpretation of the recent elections ns un expression in support of his policy. It is of far more importanco io tho country to know what will be Mie course of tho National Legisla? ture. What will Congress do? Will Congress bear in good faith and be governed by the declaration of the people, that reconstruction on the nigger supremacy basis is not to their liking? Or will it ref uso to recognizo this voice and rush blindly forward, regardless of any result but the reali? zation of- a fauatical idea? Congress amy see, if it will, exactly what will snit the nation. It must be conteut to retrace the recent dreadful strides of the radical revolutionary spirit, and must clearly and squarely place itself on that amendment to tho Constitution which has been accepted by tho Northern people, whose prin? ciples are sound and safe, and pro? mise n reconstruction that will be natural and peaceable. This is tho only course for Congress. It must wipo out tho false reconstruction of the last Congress, just as that Con? gress wiped out tho reconstruction of the President, and, starting from the constitutional amendment as accept? ed, base all reconstruction on its priuciples. Will Congress do this? [New York Herald. RKTUUN OF THE WAXDKBKRS.-Tin pnrti-colored bridal party, whose blist was suddenly nipped in tho bud bj their arrest in Wilmington, arriv?e in this city yesterday. The womat was apparently indifferent, but bei Hooty companion seemed to think ii an excelleut joke. Officer Oray, o tho detective force, went to Wilming ton for the lovers, and brought then and their plunder buck to their oh home. From the quantity of baggngi tho pair had taken, it was evidently their intention to forsake the Sunn; South, and visit some clime when miscegenation was tolerated. All or most of tho property ha been recovered, and the guilty partie only await tho action of the iujurei husband. The Wilmington papers give a de tailed account of their arrest in tba city, and describe tho woman as fin looking, but desperately enamored o ber swarthy Lothario. It is the fire instance of the kind, we believo, tba has occurred in this city, and thebes punishment that could be inflicted would bo to compel tho runaways t marry. - Charleston News. MR.

B. Lippincott & Co., aro issuing a handsome new translation of tho works of Emanuel Swedenborg. The appearance of such a fine edition, indicates that there is growing demand for the works. Messrs. Duffie & Chapman have on sale two works of this great author "Divine Lovo and Wisdom," and "Heaven and Hell." "Divine Love and Wisdom," trans? lated from Dr. Tafol's Latin edition, by R. Norman Fostor, is a handsome volume in octavo, of 277 pages, printed on tinted paper, and bound in cloth, bevol edges. The price is two dollars. Those who have read and admired Edgar Poe's "Eureka"-and who hos not?-and have been fascinated by tho genius with which Poe constructs the universe out of a grand particle proper, leaving ont the agency of a Creator; those, we say, who have read that magnificent falsehood of Poe, ought to read this "Divine Lovo and Wisdom," to see how simple is truth, when seen from a Christian stand-point, and how beautiful are the glorious harmony and life of the universe. Whoever reads Poe's work will say-how beautiful, but how cold ! Whoever reads Swedenborg's work will say-how beautiful, how vital and how worthy its Creator ! The theme of the work before ns, however, is far broader and more comprehensive than "Euroka," which touches only one of the many pointe of this book. The popular idea of Swedenborg is, that he was crazy. The popular idea of the Christ was that he had a devil. These popular ideas are very similar. Swedenborg was crazy, if craziness consisted in unfolding with luminous brilliancy and humility the divine teachings of his Divine Master, Christ. And Christ had a devil, if to have a devil meant to do His Father's work on earth. Wo have never read a work pervaded by a more humble, chari? table and Christian spirit than those by this author. "Heaven ard Hell," is a larger work ; and is devoted to the author's views of tho future life of angels and devils in the spirit-world. It is got? ten up in the same style as the "Divine Love aud Wisdom," with full indexes, 453 pages, and sells at 82.50._ _JT. W. D.
