COLUMBIA. - ? ?* Friday Horning, December 27,1867. Southern Expatriation. Alas for tho poor South I Her peo? ple are at their wits' ends; for what between their political troubles and the disorganization and unreliability of labor for the great agricultural in? terest, they aro driven nearly to de? spair, and are almost forced to seek other fields of labor in distant olimes; and although wo should desire to see planters stick to their old homes, yet we cannot say they shonld be cen? sured when they endeavor to better their fortunes-we can scarcely say that-but, at least, to save themselves from misery and utter destitution. As an illustration of the extent to which this feeling exists among the Southern planters, we notice that at a recent mooting of the Executive' Committee of tho English Cotton Supply Association, at Manchester, letters were received from various cotton planters, superintendents and overseers, in tho United States, who are desirous of removing to India and other British possessions, or any cotton growing country where their services can be appreciated and em? ployed. They were represented to be gentlemen of intelligence, integri? ty and probity, well versed in the cultivation of cotton, to which they have been devoted for years, and many during the whole of their lives. It was stated tha' thousands of citi? zens, planters in the Mississippi Val? ley and elsewhere, aro compelled, by ruin and bankruptcy, thus to remove to distant countries, where their services and enterprise may find a due return. A similar communication, ad? dressed to the late Sir Frederick Bruce, had been received from the British legation at Washington, in which tho triter, thirty-six years of age, who owned a tobacco and wheat farm in North Carolina, and a cotton plantation in Mississippi, states that he is familiar with the character of the soil of ouch of the Southern States, and with tho modo of cultiva" tion best suited to tho different kinds. Ho expresses his conviction that with five or six experienced overseers from tho South, from clay, sandy, lime and alluvial lands, and with a supply of tho most improved seeds and patterns of the best farming implements, he could greatly increase tho quantity of cotton or tobacco in any district not too large for such a force. This is truly a lamentable state of affairs, and the authors, aiders and abettors of the legislation which un? doubtedly caused it, will yet be held strictly accountable for it by the American people. The labor of the South being completely disorganized, her fertile lauds have to bo abandoned and will become a desolate waste. Can tho peoplo of tho United States stund much longer listless spectators of this depletion and ruin of the most productive section of their country? We think not; and God speed tho day of her awakening to a sonsc of their duty and responsibility in thc matter. -1 * ? i-! BIGHT EyVCTLY.-Mr. Kelley is right. Tho cottou factories of this country ought to be, not in New . England, but on streams which flow through cotton-fields. Then would tho cost of transportation on the raw material bo saved to tho planter, and his fabrics be made so much cheaper that ho might surely competo in the markets of tho world with England, which transports her cotton such immense distances. This is tho scheme that will mako the cotton planter onco moro master of tho situ? ation. -> For tho better accommodation of tho public, postmasters are author? ized to desigualo agents, for the salo ol postage stamps and stamped en? velopes within tho delivery of their respective oflices, nivl to supply such agents with said stamps, &o., of tho soveral denominations, iu valuo not exceeding $50, allowing them a dis? count of 2 percent, on tho amount of their purchases. -<~*?-? Pennsylvania passed a law hist win? ter making niuo hours a day's work. The Heading Eailroad Company have carried it into effect in all branches of their business, reducing tho wages of their workmen in a corresponding ratio. This will bc the result of all similar attempts. - i ? Y '? . ' ' III' i ia CHIEF JUSTICE CHARE.-The Toice of the people is potent for reform, arid the popular will the most effect? ive persuader to the wilfully erring. The fall elections in the North and West ere still having a wonderful ef fecfc upon the minds of many of the Republican leaders. Their experi? enced editors, too, set their sails to catch the popular breoze, and Ben? nett, Weed, &o., took in nt n glance the effect which the popular re-action in Ohio and New York would have upon the remaining Northern and Western States, immediately changed their tactics and set their sails in the direction of the new current. It would seem, from tho subjoined para? graph from the letter of a Washing? ton correspondent, that the worthy Chief Justice is determined not to be distanced in getting well into the new current: "A strange rumor, too, 611s the air concerning tho opinions of Judge Chase. It is distinctly and even somewhat authoritatively affirmed, that he will take the first opportunity to pronounce the Reconstruction Acts unconstitutional. Should the Su? preme Court decide these Aols to bo illegal, or should tho Congress antici? pate the Supreme Court and repeal them, we then have before tho coun? try the 'Constitutional Amendment,' that leaves the suffrage with the whites, under the penalty of non representation protanto, if tho blacks are not allowed to vote. We do not precisely comprehend Chief Justice Chase in the annunciation by his friends of bis opinions as a lawyer and Judge, concerning tho negro suf? frage legislation of Congress. It may be that tho Judge is resolved to shoot a Parthian arrow at bis success? ful rival, as ho retreats from the field of conflict. Wo can easily perceive how, if the arrow strikes, Gen. Grant may bo desperately wounded. But we will not stop to inquire about that now." DEATH OP A CONFEDERATE GENE BAD.-The Iberville South, of tho 7th inst., informs us of the death of Brig. Gen. Walter H. Stevens. He was a nativo of New York, g. .dilated at West Point in 1819, and renieined in tho United States Army, attached j to engineers, until the war broke ont. During tho war was attached to Gen. Beauregard's command as engineer officer, with rank of Brigadior-Gene ral, aud surrendered at Appomatox C. H., at its close. After this be went to Mexico, where he was chief engineer on the railroad from Vera Craz to Mexico. He leaves a widow and two children.

POLLARD'S. i nt fi i ' - ->i m. i , ' i BOHXTKO OF TUE STEAMSHTP BA IISIOH-G BEAT Loss OF L?FE.-The Charleatou News states that, on Sa? turday last, the fine side-wheel steam? ship Raleigh, commanded by Captain C. P. Marsh man, left New York harbor for New Orleans. The vessel was a staunch one, and commanded by an experienced seaman. Her liv? ing freight consisted of the officers and crew, numbering thirty-nine, and twenty passengers, three of whom were ladies, making in all fifty-nine persons. About mid-day on Tuesday, when tho Haleigh waa about twenty miles South-east of the Charleston light-ship, the passengers and crew were awakened by tho cry of fire. A stiff breeze was blowing from the North, and wheu the alarm was given, and it was made kuowu that fire had broken out around the for? ward cud of the boiler, there was a panic amongst the passengers. Tho ship was at once put before the wind to tbrow the tire forward. Lifo pre? servers were distributed, aud the boats were held in readiness. Cap? tain Marshman himself superintend? ing and directing every step that was taken. The flames spread with amazing rapidity, and within live minutes time of the first appearance of the flames, they had extended themselves from the forward hatch to tho smoking saloou. There was no hopo of saving the ship; there was some hope of saving life. Then, was the order given to lower the boats. Two or three were successfully lower? ed, but one of them was upset, and the following persons believed to have been lost: Henry Pel vin, steward; T. Collopy, third steward; James Pen? field, waiter; Thoa. Brannan, pantry? man; Martin, a boy, waiter; William Welsh, boy, passenger, *of New Or? leans; Joshua Silvcruail, coal passer; D. Lovelle, fireman, und two others. One of the boats, which was both largo and sea-worthy, has not yet been heard from; but, ns sho was iu charge of a good seaman, it is boped that she will provo to be safe. This boat is known to have eight persons aboard. The others were rescued by a passing vessel. Xeniij' thirty persons from tho burnt vessel re? main to be nccouuted for, but it is thought some of them will be saved. Captaiu C. P. Marsh mau, the com? mander of the Haleigh, is well known in Charleston, and was for some time master of tho steamship Key? stone State, running between Charles? ton and Philadelphia. Wheu last seen, he was near the wheel-house of the Haleigh, apparently attending to tho wants of some of those who were still on the vessel. Captain Marsh man will, it is earnestly hoped, be saved; but, whatever bi.-* fate, it may bo said of him that, liku u Lao sailor, ho stuck to his ship to the last. The Haleigh belonged to the At? lantic Coast Mail Steamship Line, aud was 80S tons burthen. She was in every way a staunch and sea-worthy vessel. The cause of tho fire is unknown, but it is supposed that it origiuated in the over-heating of the boiler, and the consequent ignition of tho wood I en bulk-heads. The Haleigh had aboard a moderate freight of general merchandize. A lady named Bryant, from Mo? bile, about fifty years of age, fell overboard during tho rush for the boats. She had on a life-preserver, which would havo kept her afloat, but around her waist sho had belted a large sum in specie, aud this addi? tional weight carried tho unfortunate woman like lead to the bottom. Those who were saved lost their baggage._^ ^ ^ (_ Dr. Joseph Cross, tho ex-Methodist minister, who was reported dead, several mouths ago, ia alive and well.

JOHN'S DAY.-The 27th of De? cember, the natal day of tho patron saint of the Masons, will be comme mora.ted by several of our lodges by the installation of their officers for the ensuing year. POLLOCK'S AVIARY. -The North window of the Pollock House is in? habited at present by a covey of part? ridges-which daily "grows small by degrees and beautifully less," as the delicately flavored birds are transfer? red from their neatly-arranged aviary to the hands of the cook, who very quickly places them in a condition to tickle the palates of some of the epi? cures with which the tovu abounds. Stop ns you are passing and take a look at "Bob White." Rev. S. H. Browne, the pastor as? signed by the Conference to Marion Street Church, of this city, is thus spoken of by the Marion Crescent: "We feel a deep regret that this faithful aud zealous minister has been appointed to a new field of labor, and believe that such is the general feel? ing in and out of his congregation. Considering him as a minister, as a pastor, as an unfaltering advocate of the Sunday School cause, we have never had bia superior. "Our sincere wishes for bis health and prosperity, and the future wel? fare of his estimable family, are but the echo of this community." OUR POST COMMANDERS.-Columbia has been fortunate above many of ber sisters. From tho time of the surreuder of our armies, we have been favored iu those appointed to command nt this post. In tho be? ginning, it was deemed necessary to turu tho screw rather tightly. For a time, the volunteer commanders did take upon themselves some s/toie of satrap authority. It is true, that a young brigadier did gallop around our rained city in full feather, with a big nigger orderly galloping after him, to the wonder of the darkies and the amusement of the children. But very soon Gen. Gieen was placed in command, and he was a perfect gentleman, and exercised no unne? cessary rigor. He was succeeded by Gen. Burton, in whose praise we cannot speak too highly. He, too, is a gentleman, and his associates in command are equally so. To a stranger visiting our city, he would hardly realizo that we are under military government. We have heard, in former times, of n military commandant making much unneces? sary display-driving around behind four spanking bays and cracking his whip in the face of his betters, who were compelled, by loss of property, to t.ike it afoot. But we have been subjected to uo such ostentatious and unnecessary display here. The quiet and courteous deportment of those now in command furnish an example worthy of imitation. They do their duty with as littlo interference with the civil rights of our people ns pos? sible. Thu soldiers stationed here aro orderly and remarkably civil. Often have we seen them give way to ladies and elderly gentlemen, with the military salute, whether the same was returned or not. It bas been sometimes said that our people are rather unsociable. This is true; but we ask those who may feel or observe this, to chango places with us, and then let them ask themselves the question, whether ho or she would feel very sociable. But, be that as it may, wo have reason to congratulate ourselves upon thc gentlemanly de? portment of our post commanders and their men. If New Orleans can speak kindly of Gen. Hancock, we claim to be no less fortunate. MAU, ARRANGEMENTS.-The post office open during the week from 8'.j a. m. to G p. m. On Siinda3-s, from 1J.J to 2}, p. m.

CHBIMICAS DAT AND WHAT WAS DONK.-The anniversary of the birth of the Saviour was ushered in by the noisy, but none the less welcome, sound of popping crackers and a feu-de-joie fired by numerous young? sters with diminutive cannon, pistols, fusees and every other species of fire? arms. Notwithstanding the pressure of the times aud the great scarcity of money, the patrou saint of tho little folks, Santa Claus, was as latish of his gifts as if cash was gathered in the streets, and many a boy and girl went almost wild with joy, on an examination of the socks and stock? ings, which had been so carefully hung up around the fire-place, in anticipation of a visit from this friend of good children. Even those accustomed to our variable climate expressed surprise at the extreme heat-it was really uncomfortably warm in tho sunshine. At au early hour, young men dressed in fanciful costumes were galloping to and fro, bent on displaying their horseman? ship to the best advantage, and at the same time to bring their animals to a knowledge of what they were to do, later in the day, with the eyes of hundreds excitedly bent on them. About 10 o'clock, the "Columbia Knights" congregated iu frout of the ruius of Christ Church, and with gaily painted and decorated lances, presented a beautiful appearance, as at thc word of commnud they formed into columu, and sped at. the top? most speed of their horses to the tiltingground. It was plain to bo seen that, although there was some excel? lent tilting, it was very e\ideut that several of tho kuigbts, ns well as their steeds, were unused to the sport. One could uot be brought to the scratch by any amount of coax? ing and beating; another evinced a disposition to go at the crowd, in? stead of at tho rings; while still an? other "went it backwards." The greatest good humor prevailed among the hoisemeu as well as the specta? tors. The following is a list of the knights win joined in the tilt: Charles Radcliffe-Broad River. J. P. Bawls-Black Steed. P. H. Joyner-South Carolina. B. Blakely-Lone Star. Wm. Casson-Flanders. George Frey-Turf. Scctt Pope-Jockey. T. A. Scott-Blue Ridge. James McDougall-Golden Cross. W. Workman-Waterce. P. G. McGregor-Duke of York. J. A. Radcliffe-Chicora. Henry Pollock-Independent. Owen Daly-Lost Cause. Henry Beard-Congaree. W. Bowers-Sherman's Brick-Yard. L. N. Zealy-Mexican Lancer. John Agnew-Blue. R. B. McKay-Unknown. R. Keenan-Cotton Town Ranger. Lamar Stark-Black. Samuel Stratton-City. W. B. Green-Chairman. The prizes were awa.dM as fol? lows: First-a handsome bridle-P. H. Joyner. Second-a fine saddle George Frey. Third-a pair of spurs -T. A. Scott. Fourth-a whip-S. Pope. The successful knights also had the privilege of crowuiug a Queou of Love and Beauty and three Maids of Honor. Miss Narcissa Feaster was selected as thc first; Miss -the second; Miss Sallie E. Joyner thc third, and Miss Fanny Eastcrby the fourth. In thc cveuiug, thc knights and a number of their lady friends participated iii a "hop" at the Central Hotel, and a delightful wind-up to their sports it was, too. Great credit is duo to Mrs. Speck and her sou, (the managers of the estab? lishment,) for tho successful manner in which everything passed ofi'. An amusing contest carao off on the University Green, in the after? noon-a wheelbarrow race between four blind-folded men, soldiers of thc garrison. Flag.", were erected, and at % distance of about twenty yaivls, four wheelbarrows were placed facing tho pennons-tho one which first passed between being declared the victor. The eyes of tho combatants svere then bandaged, when tho wheels af tho barrows were turned iu differ mt directions. Thc men seized tho jandlos and started oil' at a trot ?ach one possessed with tho idea that ie was going right. Two of tho jarrows wore run together aud be" :amo locked; thc third ran against a >rick wall; while thc fourth, finding io was going down hill" at a rapid atc, "smelt a mice," and turned in m opposite direction. It is needless o say that the spectators wero al most convulsed with laughter, and that the Rubic?n was not passed. Afterwords there was a foot race between two of tho officers of tho garrison-a short one and a tnll one shorty being the victor.
