COLUMBIA. Friday Morning, January 3, 1868. Progresa of. the Counter-Re volution - The Proapcct Before UB. A wai' of distress, deep and wide? spread, comos up from tho entire South. That productive region of country has become as poor as ii it had been struck with sterility. In? dustry has been paralyzed through tho legislation of a radical Congress. On oho hand starvation stares the people, both white and black, in the ' face, and ' on the other they live in dread of a terrible internecine war between the races. Gens. Ord and Iln??uvk, ??u O??Ll?t MtlgUUlUUB u?u conservative officers of the Govern? ment in the South, see what is com? ing, and they appeal to the authori? ties at Washington and to the people, through the press, for help. But where is help to come from? The North is suffering from the same cause. The New York Herald states that 50,000 workmen are out of em? ployment in New York, and the same deplorable stato of things is seen generally throughout the Northern States. Winter has set in with a fearful prospect for the laboring poor. What, then, wiU the North be able to do for the South when wide-sproad distress prevails at home? What can the Government do? With a burden of taxation unequalled in any coun? try-a burden that has become insup? portable-the Northern people can? not support freedmen's bureaus or other monstrous charitable institu? tions for the maintenance of 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 of idle negroes and mil? lions of impoverished whites in the South. The United States Treasury, so far from having money for such a purpose, must soon become bankrupt itself under radical rule. Looking at these appalling signs of the times, it is evident that the whole country is on the eve of such a revulsion and snoh distress os it has never yet expe? rienced. When the war ended, the industry of the South was not destroyed. A vast deal of property had been de? stroyed, it is true; but the loss fell chiefly upon the Southerners them? selves. Still, tho rich and productive soil remained, and the labor to culti? vate it is here. The people accept? ed their changed situation as the na? tural result of tho war, and were dis? posed everywhere to go to work ear? nestly to maintain themselves and to improve their fortunes. Grant, Sher? man and many other military com? manders, granted liberal terms on the surrender of the Confederate armies, looking to nu early restoration of harmony and good will. The Presi? dent, though he mado some mistakes in his trying position, favored the Birnie policy. No one of sense and divested of strong prejudice, could help seeing that tho welfare of the North, as well as of the South-of the whole country, in fact-depended upon a liberal policy and early re? storation of tho Southern States. But, unfortunately, n revolutionary Congress-having an overwhelming radical majority, though elected on no such issuo as that thoy have since made-adopted a proscriptive and ruinous polioy toward tho South, di? rectly opposed to that of the Generals of tho army, tho President and the people generally. Instead of restor? ing tho South, with slavery abolish? ed, they undertook to reconstruct it on tho basis of negro supremacy. Their sole object was to croate a radi? cal politioal power in tho South, by moans of tho negro vote, which would give thom a continued control of the Government and tho spoils of office. This, and this alone, was and is the motive of tho so-called reconstruction polioy of that party. Now, asks tho Herald, what has been tho result of this Jacobin radi? calism? Tho Southern States, which used to contribute largely by their staple products to both our domestic and foroign trade, and which are still capable of contributing largely, are ruined. Tho industry of tho negroes has been destroyed through giving them political power, through falso hopes of agrarianism having been instilled into them by rr.dicul dema? gogies, aud through their natural disposition to indolenco when not under tho direction of the white raco. Thc whito puoplo of the South are naturally so disgusted by these igno? rant scmi-savagos being placed over , v -?*m% -Yr T *yfi f* ? ^\<JU ? thorn, that thoy havo no heart to do anything. They feel that, there is no security ; that if they plant they maj not reap, or that their stock and pro? duise .will be stolen by the negroes or appropriated to -them. Under this state of things there will be little planting next year, comparatively. The white people'will raise little more than is necessary for a baro existence. The Eastern States are overstocked with manufactures and the West with produce, but their best market is cut off. Stagnation in trade and suspen? sion of employment consequently follow. The South cannot pay its debts, and mnoh less continuo even a portion of its former profitable trade. Tho ???pi Uu uuuuoubr?Uni iu lue great commercial and moneyed centres, finding no employment in legitimate trade, is employed in stock gam? bling. Sock is the actual condition of the country as brought about by ra? dical legislation; bot the prospect in the future is more gloomy still. The signs of the times are full of evil. Bin March, delegates from all the States of Germany, North and South, will meet in a common Customs Union Parliament. Already the mili? tary pnity of all Germany hos be? come an accomplished fact by the ratification of the mih'ary conven? tions concluded between Prussia and the South German States. The Cus? toms Union Parliament will consum? mate the commercial unity, and will thus mark a new and important stage in the progress of Germany toward complete union. The patience of T'Otti* Napoleon is likely to bc put once more to a severe test by this Parliament. _ It has transpired that a number of leading conservatives have proposed to the Legislatures of States which recently went Democratic, to repeal their resolutions ratifying the four? teenth article of the constitution. If New Jersey, Ohio and California were to do this, it is believed the article oould not be grafted upon the constitution. General N. G. Evans teaches school in Cokesbury, S. C., and "Live Oak" Walker is Assistant Principal of the St. Phillip's street Public School in Charleston. Generals Gary, Butler, Hagood, Kershaw, Conner, Kennedy, Bonham and McGowan are j all practicing law in this State. I Wade Hampton is planting in Missis ! sippi. General Ellison Capers takes orders, and is now a minister of the ? Episcopal Church in South Carolina. General Manigault is planting. Gen ? eral Logan is practicing law in Rich? mond. -?-.?-? There is to be a meeting in the city of New York, on the 22d of February, of the viotims of the despotic power which Secretaries Seward and Stan? ton wiolded during tho war. This meeting will be largely attended, as many havo already announced their intention of being present. They embrace Governors of States, Sena? tors, members of Congress, clergy? men, doctors and lawyers, and the Convention will represent as much intellect as ever assembled in the United States Congress. AtroAcious AND BRUTAL BOBBEHY. On Monday night, 33d of December, the dwelling of Mrs. D. Rutland, a venerable widow lady, living near the Columbia road, twelve or thirteon miles from this place, was forcibly entered by six negro fellows, who robbed of it money to tho amount of $76, and also of a considerablo quan? tity of bed clothing, &c. Mrs. R. was alone at tho time-that is,, had no one with her save her servants and in muking her escape, was struck and maltreated by these black ruffians. [Edgeficid Advertise): BOUND TO GET HIS PAY.-One of the negro delegates to Pope's conven? tion has gone to work on the United States barracks in Atlanta at $1.50 por day. The balance of the con? cern, black and white, would best subservo their own and the interests of their constituencies by following tho eianaplo of this dead-broke states? man. Mrs. Aaron Pramo, who lives three miles from Mount Vernon, Ohio, had a litter of babies, consisting of three boys and two girls, on the 3d ult. Tho babies aro thriving, and the father is ns woll as could be expected. In tho Supremo Court iu Now York, Tnesday, it was decided that Edwiu Forrest, tho tragedian, must pay his divorced wifo the alimony awarded her, which now amounts to about $100,000. Tho war steamer Novara, in com? mand of Admiral Tcgethoff, of tho Austrian navy, having on boord tho remains nf the Into Areh-dnko Maxi milhao, hos arrived at Cadiz. "?" ... == Th? order of General Old, com? manding the Fourth Military Dis? trict, designating the delegates elect? ed to the Constitutional Convention Of Mississippi, is published. Thia order states the total number of registered voters at 139,327; total number of votes cost, 76,016; number of votes for a convention, 67,630; number cast against a convention, 6,276. . A barrel of whiskey exploded, on Saturday, in the rectifying distillery at at No. 520 West Thirty-seventh street, Kew York, a workman having placed a lighted lamp too near the barrel. A portion of the side wall of the building was blown out. The damage is estimated at $500. Immediately after the explosion, the place was seized by an Internal Revenue officer. The Frenoh Corps L?gislatif had passed, ac tue request of the Govern? ment, a bill for the increase of tho army, but tbe unpopularity of the bill is clearly proved by the fact that, in a Chamber so notorious for its slavish submissiveness to the Go? vernment, 81 votes were cast against it. Benazet, the notorious lessee of tho gambling tables at Baden-Baden, died on the 2d of December. He was commonly called "King Benazet, " and in reality, says a correspondent, for many years reigned as King of Baden-Baden. In Russia, a woman, professing to be the Virgin Mary, ordered the people not to pay their taxes. They obeyed her until the Government officers sent the virgin to Siberia, and she is now vergin' on distraction. The iron ore and coal developments recently made in Tennessee, on the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad, are said to be moro than satisfactory. Several new coal mines will soon be pnt in operation. Her Majesty's Theatre was totally destroyed by Are ose night last month. A wooden tank for water and other appliances for extinguishing fires, were out of order, when their services were needed. Chicago, the great city of sensa? tions, now has a new one. Four citizens have mysteriously disappear? ed at different times within the past week, and nothing has been heard of them. During 1867, from Janunry 1st until Christmas day, 239,065 immigrants arrived at New York, as compared with 227,443 during the same period of last year. The news from Sweden is appall? ing. 300,000 of her people are re? ported to be on the eve of starvation. WANTED. ASHALL COTTAGE, centrally located. Address A, Key Doz 50, Columbia P.

The Greenville passenger train did not arrive last night until ll o'clock, owing to a freight train having run off near Pomaria. Throe cars were upset, but nobody hurt. CURT AXLED.-Owing to tho tight? ness of the times, the Charleston Courier and Nexos have been some? what curtailed in size. HARD ON THE CLEROT.-Incarcerat? ed within tho walls of the State in? stitution, yclept the penitentiary, are no less than eight colored preachers. Rather a severe sell on tho clergy. GRAND RAFFLE.-The ramo for the horse, gold watch, Cremona violin and gold chain, is to come off at the National Hotel, to-night, at 8 P. M. We understand there are a few chances left. FATAL ACCIDENT.-On Tuesday last, the Greenville train brought down a number of soldiers from Newberry. On their arrival in Columbia, an at? tempt was made to form them in ranks; but some of them being under the influence of liquor, strayed off, and got behind a locomotive, which was backing through tho yard, when ono of them was killed, and another had an arm broken, besides other injuries. We could not learn the names of tho unfortunates. PARDONED.-The two white men Cooper and Flowers-tho first con? victs received in the penitentiary, having been incarcerated on the 18th April last; and Jim Furman, freed? man, from Fairfield District-all con? victed of larceny-were pardoned yesterday, by tho Governor, upon the recommendation of Major Lee, superintendent-for their general good conduct and strict compliance with the rules and regulations of the institution. The parties had but two or three months to serve, to "com? plete the original terms of their sentences. THE CULTURE OF COTTON.-King Cotton must be beheaded. The ex? perience of the Southern planters has been sufficient to satisfy them that, with unreliable labor, competi? tion in India, high taxes and low prices, cotton must bc abandoned. Let our farmers and planters turn their attention to other crops. Plant corn everywhere; and, in this section especially, plant peas, potatoes and ground-peas. Much of the soil in this vicinity is specially adapted to the growth of ground-peas; and the experience of the farmers of North Carolina the present season shows that it is now a very profitable crop. Our planters can nl?ord now to give up the pleasant little pastime of making cotton for tho benefit of others and the detriment of them? selves. Even though the tax bo re? moved, let them abandon cotton, for ono season at least, and seo how the experiment will work. THE RACES YESTERDAY.-The trot? ting match between "Clodhopper" md "Plowboy," and quarter races [or saddle horses, announced for New i'ear's day, but which were postponed >n account of tho very inolement weather, came off yesterday afternoon, >n the Con garoo Race Course. Bug? gies, saddle horses, spring wagons, ito., wero brought into service, to jonvey the "lords of creation" to tho ?rack. Qnite a number of ladies also jraced the field with their presence. \bont half-past 2, tho signal was riven, and after ono or two unsuo sessful attempts, the horses went off | it a spanking rate. Tho large horse ippeared to bo the favorite; but his irjnall (and white) competitor held bis )wn amazingly, considering tho state >f tho track. "Clodhoppor" was tho rinuer in two straight heats-time: Ml, 3.12. 'Several qnarLer rac?s vero thon ran-causing a consider ible amount in stamps to chango lands. Other matches had been nado up, but they ^ "ore postponed, >wing to tl o heavy traok.
