COLUMBIA.
Friday Morning;, January IO, 1868.
Pre?* Forward.
Tho present is a time of peouliar
trial to our Southern people, both
politically und financially. As to our
political trials, much has already been
said. But tho political madness
which rules tho hour is also hurtful
to tho financial interests of thc South.
We, in common with tho whole peo?
ple of tho United States, are suffer?
ing from the prostration of trade and
business. Tho Northeru people,
however, are rioh enough to bear
this evil much better than ' we aro.
And, furthermore, the great interest
of tho South being agricultural, the
derangement of labor and the sud?
den depreciation of cotton have well
nigh destroyed onr lately rising hopo
of financial recuperation. The con?
sequence is, that there is much de?
spondency throughout the country
in reference to uur material prosper?
ity in the future. But we must not
succumb to such depressing influ?
ences. We must "learn to labor and
to wait," and by this means ulti?
mately surmount.difficulties that ap?
pear at first as insuperable. Our
material prosperity, dospito all our
troubles, is only a question of time.
No such country as ours, with auch
vast wealth only awaiting develop?
ment, can long remain depressed.
Capital and population are certain to
flow into it, ere long, in immense
volumes. Onr present plans and
efforts may not be as successful as we
desired and expected. But the na?
tive wealth of the country will inevi?
tably attract to it the means and the
facilities of its development, and all
difficulties growing ont of the pre?
sent condition of affairs will be
obviated. What we most desired to
say is, that the two duties now most
incumbent upon all the Southern
peoplo aro hard labor and economical
living. These two valuable lessons
we learned and practiced most suc?
cessfully during the war. Let us
return to them now, when they are
as much needed as ever before, and
even more. Let them be imprinted
upon every heart and faithfully ad?
hered to, and wo shall ultimately be?
come a happy and prosperous people.
Let us press forward in tho great
struggle against adverse fortune,
with tho determination to achieve
success, and to do this wo must "bide
our time" with that magnificent cou?
rage which distinguished our ances?
tors at the close of tho Revolutionary
war. History teaches us that they
put their hands to the plough and
never looked back. Wo should bo
instructed and encouraged by the
noble example.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says that tho
opinion is gaining ground there that
the President has been ' 'under-rated. "
The New York Times asserts that it
is by no means so fashionable as it
was a year ago, to denounce him as
utterly incompetent and powerless.
We think it not at all unlikely that
this mistake has been made. Presi?
dent Johnson's message nnd other
State papers will compare favorably,
in poiut of ability, forco and effect?
iveness, with thoso of any President
we havo ever had; and tho steady
determination with which he has
adhered to his original policy is be?
ginning to have an effect even upon
those who dissent most widely from
it.

The Convention in Louisiana has
adopted au article in the constitution
guaranteeing to negroes the "same
civil, political and public rights and
privileges" as tho whites. The effect
of this, as explained in the debates,
will bo to secure to them equal privi?
leges in hotels, railroads, steamboats,
places of amusement, Ac. Tho pro?
vision was adopted by a very largo
majority-only seventeen voting
against it. The advico given to tho
colored peoplo by ono of tho mem?
bers-not to imitate tho dog who lost
tho bono ho had, by snapping at the
shadow of it in tho water, was not
needless.

Isnmr.ro MANUFACTURING INTER?
ESTS.-We referred lately to that por?
tion of a speech of Mr. Spragne, a
Republican Senator from Rhode
Island, himself largely engaged in
manufactures aud cotton planting,
in which he represented tbs cotton
planting interest of the United State?
as all but crushed out of existence.
Mr. Sprague speaks with eqnal em?
phasis in regard to the condition to
which the manufacturing iudustry
and enterprise of the United States
have been reduced. Ile declares that
within the range of. his business
knowledge, not a single manufactur?
ing-interest can be found that "is
not almost destroyed-at any rate,
prostrated to the very dust." The
largest manufacturer in tho United
States confesses that he does "not
know of an article that the American
manufacturer can now produce and
export and competo with foreigu
manufacturers in the markets of the
world, even nith tho drawback." He
overs that "thousands and thousands
of mon, women and children are to?
day suffering from the want of em?
ployment," in consequence of the
taxes and the unwise legislation of
recent years. He says "we have
taxed out of existence interests which
havo mado us a prosperous people."
Instead of the results expected from
high tariff legislation, the interests
which Congress has undertaken es?
pecially to protect by prohibitory
duties nro the very interests, ns shown
by Mr. Sprague, which are on tho
verge of ruin. He also maintains,
what indeed only the most deluded
partizan can be blind to, that the
increase of productive forces has not
kept pace with tho destruction inci?
dent to tho war, which, in tho taxa?
tion raised and the debt incurred to
carry on hostilities, has deducted so
much from the available wealth of
the nation. In regard to Rhode
Island, it is said that the machinery
employed during tho last seven years
has depreciated in value seventy per
cent., whilo nothing like a corres?
ponding provision has been made for
its renewal. When it is remembered
that these are the well-considered
statements of a practical mau, who
rarely makes political speeches, and
who is himself a member of the Re?
publican party, it seems little less
than fatuity or madness in Congress
not to appreciate their startling sig?
nificance.
A SOUTIIEKN SOLDIER IN DISTRESS.
We are requested to make public the
fact that Wm. Thomason, a Confede?
rate soldier, from Greenville District,
in our State, is still nt Elmira, New
York, where tho close of tho war
found him a prisoner. This unfor?
tunate young man has lost an arin
and a leg. For want of funds, we
suppose, he is unable to return to the
South.
DISASTROUS FI UK AT TUE FINE
Ho.DSB,-The largest and most com?
modious mansion in Edgefield Dis?
trict, that of Benjamin Bettis, Esq.,
at the Fine House, was burned to the
ground on Tuesday morning, the last
day of 1867. Tho fire in the case is
supposed to have originated, in some
way or othor, from the burning out
of tho chimneys. This burning out
was dono early in tho morning, and
at 10 or ll a. m., the garret was dis?
covered to be in flames. The fire had
progressed so far before being dis?
covered that it was found impossible
to extinguish or arrest it. The costly
and elegant furniture of the upper
rooni9 was consumed with tho build?
ing; that below stairs was rescued
no insurance.-Edgej?eld Advertiser.

Mr. Groen, the famous diver, tells
singular stories of bis adventures,
when- milking search in the deep
waters of tho oecan. He gives Borne
new sketches of what he saw nt the
"Silver Bank," near liny ti:
"The bauk8 of coral ?n which my
divings were made are about forty
miles in length and from ten to
twenty in breadth. On this bank of
coral is presented to the diver one of
the most beautiful and sublime scenes
tho eye ever beheld. The water
varies from 10 to 100 feet in depth,
and so clear that the diver can sec
from 200 to 800 feet when submerged,
with but little obstruction to the
sight.
"The bottom of the ocean in many
places is as smooth as a marble floor;
in others, it is studded with coral
columns, from 10 to 100 feet in
height, aud from one to eighty feet
in diameter. The tops of those more
j lofty support a myriad of pyramidal
pendants, each forming a myriad
more, giving renlity to the imaginary
abode of some water-nymph. lu
other places, the pendants form ruroh
sitei uren, and ns the diver stands on
the bottom of the oceau, aud gazes
through in tho deep winding ave?
nues, he finds that they fill him with
as sacred an awe ns if he were iu
some old cathedral which had long
been buried beneath old ocean's
wave. Hore and there, the coral
extends even to the surface of tho
water, as if tho loftiest columns were
towers belonging to those stately
tum pies that are now in ruins.
"There were countless varieties ol
trees, shrubs aud plants in every
crevice of the corals where water had
deposited the earth. They were all
of a faint hue, owing to the pale
light they received, although of every
shade, and entirely different from
plants that I am familiar with that
vegetate upon dry laud. One in par?
ticular attracted my attention; il
resembled a sea-fan of immense size,
of variegated colors and tho most
brilliant hue. The fish which inh?bil
these 'Silver Banks' I fouud as differ
ent in kind as the scenery was varied,
They were of all forms, colors auc
sizes-from the symmetrical goby tc
the globe-like sun-fish; fruin ih(
dullest hue to the changeable dol
phiu; from the spots of the leoparc
to the hues of sunbeams; from tin
harmless minuow to the voracious
shark. Some had bends like squir
reis, others like cats aud dogs; som?
of small size resembled tho bull ter
rier. Some darted through the wate
like meteors, while others coule
scarcely be seen to move.
"To e numerate nud explain all tin
various kinds of tish I beheld wb.il?
diving ou these banks would, wore '.
enough of a naturalist so to elo, re
quire moro than my limits allow, or
am convinced that most of the kind
of fish, which inhabit the tropica
seas can bo found there. The sui
fish, star fish, white shark and bin
or shovel-nose shark were often seeu
"There were also fish which re
scmbled plants, and remained as fixei
in their position as a shrub; the oui
power they possessed was to ope:
and shut when in danger. Some c
them resemble tho rose when in fa
bloom, anil were of all hues. Ther
were the ribbon fish, from four or liv
inches to three feet in length; thei
eyes aro very large and protrude lik
those of a frog.
"Another fish is spotted like
leopard, from three to ten feet i
length. They build their house Uk
beavers, in which 'lawn, an
tho male or female; tubes the eg
until it hatches. I ' many spec
mens of the green turtle, some fiv
feet long, which I should think woul
weigh from 100 to 500 pounds."

TUE UNIVERSITY SERIES OF SOUTH?
ERN READERS.-This series of read?

commend them to our favor. They
come to us under the sanction of
such a man as Dr. G. F. Holmes,
Professor of History in tho Univer?
sity of Virginia. The books are pre?
pared by uuotuer party and revised
by Dr. Holmes. The selections aro
all, therefore, approved by bim. The
series consists of a "Pictorial Pri?
mer," an "Elementary Speller," four
"Pictorial Readers," (Nos. 1, 2, 3
aud 4,) a "Fifth Reader," and a
"Speaker." The illustrations aro
good. The subject matter is largely
Southern, aud to a great extent,
though not exclusively, from South?
ern writers. lu the "Fifth Reader."
tho articles are preceded by a bric
sketch of the author of the article.
Tho publisher's part of the work
the gettisg up-is well doue. The
prices are very reasonable, aud in
this respect suit the times. Messrs.
Duffie k Chapman have the entire
series on baud. Southern teachers
should kuow that such home books
can be had, and cease to use those
New England "Readers," that tell
our youth of little else than Boston,
Webster, Bunker Hill, the Pilgrim
Fathers and Ben. Franklin.
CAN'T DO WITHOUT A PAVER.-A
subscriber sends the following lines,
with the statement that, although
not original, they express bis senti?
ments exactly:
What, do without a paper! No,
I've tried it to my sorrow,
So, to subscribe for ono I'll go,
Nor wait uutil to-morrow;
Should lovers bang or drown them?
selves,
Or other foolish caper,
I never got to hear oMt
I do not take the paper.
Why, there's my neighbor, Toby
Stout,
He always reads the news,
And having it to take about.
He never gets tho "blues;"
While others yawn in ennui,
His mind is light as vapor;
Tho cause is plain to half an^eye
He always takes the paper.
Whilo neighbor Stout .hears all the
news,
And knows each current price,
And always minds tho p's and q's,
By taking good advice;
I cannot tell the price of grain,
Of poultry, coffer, taper,
Or any kind of merchandize
Because I take no paper.
Though I have studies which require
Much time and mental labor,
Yet I can spare a little time,
As well as Stout, my neighbor ;
Though time be precious, I can ase
A longer midnight taper,
And thus find time to read tho news;
Therefore, I'll take the paper.

The lecture last night, at the Uni?
versity, by Rev. Dr. Reynolds, was
listened to by a large and attentive
audience. We need say nothing of
the eloquence of the lenrneel lecturer,
who has lived so many yonrs among
us, aud bas never spokeu without de?
lighting his bearers. His subject
was "Logie, or the Propfedentics of
Soience," that is, the preliminary
training necessary for successful
philosophical and scientific investiga?
tion. Tho ntiUty of the study of
logic was discussed, and the abstruse
laws of thought were most happily
illustrated. Tho preceding lecture
was by Prof. Sacbtlebeu, on the
"Romantic Poetry of the Middle
Ages," and we were pleased and in?
structed by his elegant exposition of
an interesting period in French and
German literature. It was announced
that tho uext lecture will be delivered
by Dr. Talley.
THE CHARLESTON COURIEU.-This
old commercial and news paper is
about entering upon tho sixty-sixth
year of its publication. During this .
long period of its existence, despito
the mutations of fortune and time,
it has been liberally supported, while
many of its contemporaries have
been compelled to succumb to finan?
cial necessities. The proprietors ap?
peal to those iu arrears to come for?
ward and pay up:
"The war closed with a large in?
debtedness on the part of our former
subscribers, some of whom have prof?
fered us payment. To others we
have presented no claim, amid the
losses and misfortunes by which they
have been surrounded, having been
spared the necessity of doing so by
the very generous, prompt and hearty
support ve have uniformly received.
We are able to wait for the advent of
better times, confidently assured that
when prosperity returns to the land,
they will cheerfully meet their obliga?
tions. To all such we cordially ex?
tend au invitation to renew their sub?
scriptions."
A WARNING TO TRADESMEN.-Tho
