COLOMBIA. Friday Morning. November 6. 1868. RtMaren ?ml R> < upcratlrc Power ar tin- Smith. Cap tai u Miury, formerly jpf the National Observatory, recently made an address nt an agricultural fair, near Staunton, Virginia, in which he combated Ibo prevalent idea at tbe North tbat the South is lacking in energy and enterprise. Ho referred the apparont superiority of notivity in tho North to the foot that tho North is manufacturing and commer? cial, whereby products aro concen? trated, and thoro is thereby a show of lifo and movement which is not seen in agricultural communities like the Soutb, because labor is there dif? fused. Another reason bo considered to be that tho statistics showing tho rewards of labor at the South were notqopie fairly presented, and an? other reason in thc immouso emigra? tion from Europe, whioh has boen almost en tirol y absorbed by the North. On this point, Capt. Maury rofors to tho faot that, nccording to Ibe census of 1790, tho population of tho United States was very nearly equally divided between tuc North and South, and according to tho re? turns of tho subsequont census, tho ratio of natural increase was greater at the South than at tho North, but notwithstanding this, tho population North, in 1860, was, in round num? bers, cloven millions greater than that at fcjbe f&mth. Taking this excess as the number of emigrants to that sec? tion sinoe 1790, and their descend? ants, and supposing that each repre? sents on industrial capital of $100, he argues that tho North has acquired $4,400,000,000, not by any superioi energy,' but by the mere influx ol labor from abroad. Of course, it ii only desirable that justice should bc done each section, that no invidious comparison should bo made. To sus? tain his vindication of Southern on orgy. Capt. ??anry makes the follow ing quotation/rom thc report of tin bureau of statistics ut Washington, on commerce and navigation, for 1867 "1867, ?338,000.000; 1858. $293, 000.000; 1859, 8335,000,000; I860 8873,000.000; 1861. (war begins, 8382.000,000 ; 18b2. 8213.000,000 1863, 8240,000.000; 1864. 8241,00 , 000; 1865. (war ends.) 8197,000,000 1866, 8414,000,000; 1867, 8394,000. 000. Total exports of Southern prc duets during the fiscal year tmde< June 80, 1866, currency value, (ap proximated.) 8328,406,759. Tots exports of domestic products froc the United States same year, curren cy value, 8471,608,600. Proportioi of Southern products to all domcsti produots exported, 69 per cont." After quoting other statistics, Com modoro Maury oontioued : "Mr. Delmar estimates the populi tion of the South for the year endin June 30, 1866, at 9,568,709, and c all tho States together at 34,505,88'. According to this statement, tb South in 1866, had very nearly tb population that the whole Unite States bad in 1820; and what woi the exports of the whole country i that year? $51,000,000. The Boat in 1866 exported, according to tl samo authority, 8272,000,000, spec: value, or more than five dollars 1 one. In 1850, the whole populatic of the United States was, iu rouu numbers, 23,000,000, and the dome tic exports amounted that year I 8136,000,000. The South, now, wil not half the population of 23,000 000, exports $272,000,000-that is, for 1." Com. Maury anticipates the seo; ing reply of the enemies of tl South, which would pretend to atti bute tho largo amount of surplus o ports seut abrond to the superi labor of the freedmen, but sugges that 6,000,000 of whites have rei forced the labor of the countr much of which among the freedmi has been demoralized. Tn regard the unemployed water power of tl South, and the coal and iron min lying idle, this, he alleges, is simp because agriculture is more romun rativc to tho South thnn any otb industrial pursuit. It would soem outiroly nnnecess ry to tho vindication of Northe energy that the South, which cortai ly ia the late war showed nnythii bat a want of vim and rcsolutia should bo continually held up wanting in enterprise nnd vig< Until a recent period its aspiratio havo never lod it very far into t field of manufactures and common and have beon, on tho whole, umo its leading men, rather political th material. It must bc admitted, t Baltimore SHH declares, that 1 Southcurnstatesmeu, who were for ao long a period, and, to a large extent, at tho bead o? tho Government, showed a capacity for advancing it in all tho elementa of power and>great? ness, and sn administrativo energy which betokened qualities of will and intelleohml and mers! force which have never been in this coun? try surpassed. If the comparativo physical disadvantages of tho North have only stimnlatod it to tho most extraordinary ingenuity and determi? nation, it need not bo denied that tho South cfto g??e a geed account of tho blessings of soil and climate with which she is favored. That thc South should even now, with not half tho population of tho United States in 1850, and just emerged from a war in which her soil, from ond to end, has been trampled down and devastated by hostilo armies, and in which she bas Buffered a sacrifice of property, credits and values esti? mated by Senator Doolittle as nt least $9,000,000,000, export two to ono of tho exports of tho whole United States in 1850, is a wonderful fact, testifying to tho prodigious recupe? rativo power of tho soil and the peo? ple. Such a region ought to bo de? veloped and replenished by tho industry of tho wholo country, for thero is moro than room enough and incentives to labor for all in a region which is ns largo as Great Britain, France, Austria, Prussia and Spain; which has every variety of soil and climate; whoso staple productions nono of tho European countries can grow; which is penetrated by tho Mississippi, whose uflluent tido is supplied by 3G,0OO miles of tributary streams, and which has 3,000 miles of continental sboro lino. Instead of pursuing a policy which tends to de? moralize tho labor aud retard tho de? velopment of such a country, a wiso statesmanship would befriend aud oncourago it from an intelligent sel? fishness, if from uo better motive.

A wonderful phenomenon has recent? ly made ito appearance on Willow Creek, in Bracken County, about two miles from Brooksville, and has been seen by quite a number of the worthy citizens of our County. Our people have been in a constant stat* nf ex? citement sinco it first rando its ap? pearance. On the 10th inst., aa CJO of our citizens, a prominent tobacco mer? chant, residing in Brooksville, was returning home from the Southern gortion of the County, whero he had eon buying some crops of tobacco, and, being bela tod, was riding along tho road, when suddenly he beheld a frightful object in tho middle of tho road, immediately in front of him. I will give you tho description of it UH I heard it from his lips: The object was about six feet in height, und walked upright. Tho face was nt times tnat of a m in, very pale, with curls of flumes falling; over his shoulders; eyes of sulphurous blue, changiug constantly iusize, one moment largo us a tin cup, uud then gradually decreasing in size until it was almost invisible. Its arms were those of a mau, and hands deadly palo. lu ono baud it held n torch, and in the other a sword that seemed to bo about four feet in length. Its lower extremity was that of a horse, with logs well proportioned, and hoofs as those of a horse. Its tail, which was about three feet iu length, was a flame. Its breath was a solid sbeot of tire, which vibrated with the heav iugs ol its breast like tho pendulum' of n clock. It was certainly tho most frightful object I ever beheld. It wulkcd off to tho side of tho road ?ind vanished. When it disappeared, I un mediately put spurs to my horse and galloped by the spot Where I had seen it. When I arrived at tho sum? mit of the hill, about 200 yards off, I looked back and saw tho object in the spot whero I first beheld it. I ?topped my horse and watched it for a moment; it wulkod over to tho left sido of tho road, aud mouuting a rail feuao that stood there, commenced running toward mc. I did not stay to seo tho remainder of tho drums. He immediately rode to town, and. haviug told thc adventure to sumo of theoitizehs, they immediately formed a party itu i started out to seo tho stratigo visitant. Lawyers, doctors, preacbers and tradesmen, armed with guns and pistols, made their way cn masse to the scuuo of this strange ad? venture. When they arrived at tho spot, Homo of them beheld tho spec? tre and others could not sec it. It was when they saw it on the fence, and, running rapidly along up and down, it passed the crowd for the distunco of a quarter of a mile. As it passed, the crowd several times fired ut it, but with no effect. About ll o'clock, it vunished, und was seen uo moro that night. Siuce then it has been seen every night at tho same place. Hundreds of visitors have been on hand every night, and the excitement is at a very high state now and is iucreasiug. The causo of this is beyond humau conjecture. It has been only about a year siuce it wax seen in this County before. The County is astir, and tho people aro eager to get rid of their uuwelcomo visitant. This is tho wholo uurrative. Will not some philosopher explain the causo of this wouder? Yours truly, JOSEPH PEYTON. Lucius Langdon, Jonathan C. Sonic and James S. Wolfe uuito in a certifi? cate before a justice of the peace, that tho abovo statement is true.. . NBOBO KILLED.-Martin Sweareu gin, a colored mun, living on the plantation of Mrs. Eliz. Swearengiu, about eight miles below this village, on tho Aiken roud, was fired on and killed in his house, ou Sunday night last, by parties unknown. We regret exceedingly this unjustifiable, out? rage on law and order and tho peace of .society, aud know that the same is universally condemned by thc many high-toned gentlemen living in the immediato vicinity whero this unfor? tunate and sad affair wus committed. Martin, wc aro told, was a faithful and au honest negro, and why he should have been tho subject of as? sassination is beyond tho conjecture of those best acquainted with bim. [Ednefield Advertiser. Dean Storr hod occasion, ono day, to unite a rustic iu the bands of ma? trimony. Tho ceremony over, tho husband began to "sink in resolu? tion," and. fulling into a fit of re? pentance, ho sa?(l: "Your reverence lias tied the knot tightly, I fancy, but, under favor, may I ask if so it bo you could untie it again?" "Why, no," replied the Dean; "wo never do that in this part of tho consecrated ground." "Whore, then?" cried tho man, eagerly. "On that," pointing to the burial grounds. A romantic pair iu Pennsylvania ure blessed with a number of daugh? ters. Tho eldest was called Caro? line; tile second, Made-line; the third, Eve-line; the fourth, Ange-liuo; wheu lo! tho filth made ii?appearance, sud no name could bo found with tho de aired termination. Determined, how? ever, to "tight it out on that line, if it took all summer," the parents, at length, pounced upon a min1? very popular iu their neighborhood, and forthwith thu baby was called Crino? line! At Milford, wu Saturday nigbt last, while a party of young Ejople were celebrating All-Hallow ve with games, tho girls wont into a ?eighboring field to procuro cabbage, od were fired upon by the owner, Bartholomew O'Donnell, a man about sixty years of ago, and Misa Bridget Mnrrsy, o! Boston, was killed, the ball passing through her head and causing death in au hour. O'Don? nell, when arrested, had on a largo cavalry sabre and a largo navy re? volver, with two barrels discharged. A rernarknbio longevity iu tho Stet? son family at Durham, Mass., is noted. They arc six brothels, Elisha Stetson. 80 years old; Stephen, 77; Isnac, 75; David, 70; Gharles, 06; and Nathaniel, 64. Thisgivosanaggrogate age for tim six of 432 years, or an ave? rt "y* of 72 years. All are well. They wore all born in Durham. Their father lived U* bo 88 years old, and their mother 99 years. The wife of a Democratic aspirant for some local office at Trenton, N. J., is busily canvassing in his behalf, anil as she is 4"fat, fair and forty," she ob? tains many promises of votes. An? other lady, out iu Wisconsin, delivers street, addresses in belia If of her hus? band and tho Rnpubli :an party, and closes ber performances with a cam? paign song. A Gorman artisau, upon his sign, thus describes in u sing'e word, his business-namely: "Hititerindung Bvortterliogo wehrpatrone ti hilsmfu.br i canterboiteuchef." Rendered into English, ho is 4,Mauufacturer-in ehief of cartridge-rockets for the Vot teril breech-loading rifle." . The little son of a Brooklyn tailor was saved from drowning by a work? man, at the risk of his life. While the dripping preserver placed the boy iu his parent's arms, in ii gush of gra? titude tho father offered tn "iron ont his clothes if he would send them along." Correspondence from Rome sug? gests that tile fall of Queen Isahella will bo a sad blow to the Papal Gov? ernment, considering that under her reign Si,OOO were sent to Romo daily ns St. Peter's pence. lu these hard times, even a Government cannot well miss such a contribution. A lady, in a crowd of children in France, beiug bitten by a mad dog, held on to the animal till ho could bo secured, and thus saved the lives of tho others. For this bravery, the government hus given her a gold medal, her lifo happily beiug spared. At a recent baptism in tho Platto River, near Rochester, Missouri, a man named Stephens died suddenly, ns ho wus beiug carried up tho batik. It is supposed that he had the heart disease, and was fatally chilled by the complete immersion.

The Pacific Railroad is employing an army of fence-builders, fences being necessary to keep the animals off the track. There is a copper miuo in Swedeu so valuable that its owner bas recent? ly refused an offer of $70,000,000 for it.
