' COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning. December 20, I860 ? Bullying England. Some ultra members of Congress, together with a few Northern jour? nals of the same stripe, not content to await the slow procesa of Minister Johnson's diplomacy for an arrange? ment of the Alabaron claims, have re? sorted to the plan of bullying Eng? land into a settlement. Senator Wade says he would stop palavering over the matter, and make England this proposition : "Here is the bill of the depredations on our oommerco by the Britiah-built and British-mu? nitioned and provisioned and manned rebel cruiser Alabama; and wo want the money or your answer yea or oar." This, says the New j York Herald, ia the only settlement | which will satisfy the American peo? ple. We . are not satisfied that the Herald or Mr. Wade spoaks the senti? ments of the American people, or that ono American in ton cares a far? thing for the result of the claim ono way or another; but aro certainly "Very sar o that the damages claimed on account of the Alabama are not to be got ont of England in that way, and that the sooner these Hotspur's ourb their mettle, the further they will be off from the contingency of a back-down. England was never known to yield anything under a threat, and if the Government is really in earnest in presenting these claims, the more decently they go about the matter, the better will be the prospect of success. Agricultural Development ol'the State. MB. EDITOR: I read, in a former number of the Phoenix, an article signed "Virginia," setting forth some of the inducements, agricultural, me? chanical, Arc., that South Carolina offers to those who would find plea? sant homes and profitable invest? ments for surplus capital. This is a praiseworthy undertaking on the part of "Virginia," and should be followed up by others; for, if we would induce capitalists to migrate hither and in? vest their means in the development of boundless resources, we should sec to it that an unvarnished account of the native characteristics of euch sec? tion of our State, bo published for the gnidance and information of those in search of homes. South Carolina is so diversified, not only with rogard to scenory, cli? mate, ?fcc., but also with respect to her agricultural and mechanical faci? lities-ranging, as it does, from thc mountains to the sea-that it occurs to me, the most fastidious taste might be grrtified upon some spot within her vast terri tor}*. As "Virginia" bas shown a little (not hy any means un unbecoming) selfishness in calling attention to some of the inducements o fie red in the vicinity of Columbia, I proposo, in this article, to confine myself principally to Spartanburg, This is known as ono of the mountain Counties of tho State, from its pros imily to the Blue Ridge range. And though there is no mountain within the area of the County, it possesses the clear sparkliug water, the fresh balmy air, &zc, peculiar to the moun? tain slopes. There is not, perhaps, on earth, a spot more conducive to physical vigor and longevity than Spartanburg. Indeed, there is abso? lutely no cause, of a local character, for any disease whatever. The streams, naturally fresh and pure, move rapidly away, so that lhere aro no stagnant pools, producing miasma and creating fevers. This fact, of itself, caunotbo too highly estimated, especially by large capitalists, who might desire to engage in extensive manufacturing operations, giviug em? ployment to hundreds, and perhups thousands, of operators, upou whoso vigor depends so greatly the success of large undertakers. The soil of Spartanburg is free to yield all kinds of produce congenial to a mild and temperate climate. Corn, cotton, wheut, rye, oats, sorghum, Irish and sweet potutoes, peas, and, indeed, all the 8erenls, vegetables and fruits that the wants of the people demnud, are grown to perfection in this County. As to tho amount of oue or nil of these tl cnn bo grown per aero, depends, aa in other countries, greatly upon tho .seasons, manner of culture, ko. At tho price the articlo at present commands, there is perhaps as much not profit iu tho culture of cotton as in any of tho articles of produce enu? merated. A largo portion of the soil in Spartanburg is, perhaps, better calculated ta retain manures than any in the State, owing to its red, still'foundation. Whilst manures ap? plied to gray, porous soils, appear to exhaust, with tho growth of our crops, the effects of tho samo umouut applied to tho red lands, may be dis tu., '-"j ""on for three, four and evon for.ftce, years. Whilst this County in second to none in the State in the inducement? it offers to the agriculturist, it is pre? eminently adapted to manufacturing operations. I doubt not, there is a greater amount of undeveloped water 5over in Sparenburg than in any* lsti.'ct embracing tibe same area in the United States. There is. to-day, on the Enoree River, alone, in this County, enough of undeveloped water power, whioh, if brought into active play upon machinery, would give employment to ten thousand opera? tives. Indeed, the capitalist in search of location to Invest in manufac? tories, could not fail,within tho limits of this District, to find a place adapt? ed to all his wants. The Enoree, the Tygers, Lawson's Fork, Fair Forrest, and the Pacolete, togethen with other smaller, tributary streams, all furnish the most abundant facilities for driving the heaviest machinery. And then, these very desirable locations can, in many instances, be purohased at merely nominal sums, simply from the fact, that prior to the war tho peo plo of this country looked Bolely to other parts of the world for manu? factured goods, preferring themselves to till the soil; while noxo, their for? tunes are gone, and they have not the means, if they felt a desire, to bestow the attention to these fine lo? cations which their merits demand. The important fact, also, must not be overlooked, thatSpartanburg County will, at no very distant day, be se? cond to no inland County in the State with regard to her railroad communications. Very many of these fine water powers are in close proximity to tho Spartanbnrg aud Union Railroad, whioh is in success? ful operation ns farWest as Spartan burg C. H, The famous Air Line Railroad-tho completion of which is now beyond a doubt-is projected to pass directly through the centre of the County. Beside this, it is hoped tho good sense of tho people of tho State will, at no distant day, be di? rected to the extension of tho Spar? enburg and Union Railroad through the mountain passes to Asheville, N. C., thus securing an outlet to the great North-west, so long desired by tho entire", people, not only ef South Carolina, but by tho citizens of Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio. It is passing Btraugo that this enter? prise has been so long neglected, especially when wo aro assured by the most skillful surveyors and engi? neers, who have, from time to time, survoyod the entire lino, that it is by far the most practioablo line by which it is possible to build a road forming a connecting lino from Charleston to the great West. It is iutimated that this lino is not only ninety or ninety five miles less iu distance from Charleston to Cincinnati than the line of the Blue Ridge Railroad sur? vey, upon which not only tho State, but private parties, have squandered so much money, and upon which they ara likely- to sqauder so much more, but it is intimated that thc road via Asheville could bo built, and the desired connection formed, in ouo half tho time, and with one-half the moue}' required to complete the Blue Ridge Road. Hence, I say, tho time must be near at hand when the attention of the people will be aroused to tho importance of build? ing this road. Added to all this, it is to be ob? served that the educational ad? vantages afforded iu Spantauburg are not to bo surpassed in tho South. Tho Wofford College, one of the first class institutions of tho United States; tho Reidville institution; the Limestone Springs Female College, with male seminary attached, (all located in this Count}*,) are all in a prosperous condition, and furnish the means for the most thorough and complete education to both males and females. The people aro high toned and honorable, society exalted aud reiiucd, and the community comparatively free from political car? pet-baggers and other disturbers of tho publie peace. It is toacountry like this that we would extend the hand of welcome to the honest and enterprising, from whatsoever source thev may come. TYGER. A DREADFUL ACCIDENT.-Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, there oc? curred ono of tho most melancholy accidents that has happened in our city for some time. Mra. J. E. Os? borne, residing at tho corner of Li? berty and King streets, was engaged in handling a can of keroseno oil, with a lighted lamp near, when, by some accident, tho light was commu? nicated to tho oil, and an oxlposion ensued. Before assistance could be rendored, her clothes had burned to a cinder, and she lay upon the floor terribly burnt, and almost in a dying condition. No hopes whatever are entertained of her recovery. [Charleston Courier. 3 DISASTROUS Finn. -On last Wednes? day week, about 1 o'clock in the day, some lint cotton in the gin house of Mr. David Fenner was observed to be on fire, and the flames spread so rapidly that all efforts to check the conflagration were unavailing. The gin house was totally consumed, und the loss to Mr. Fersner is about $2,000. - Orangeburg News.

RESTORATION OF SKNATOE LESLIE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE "IRRE PREserniiK."-It will be remembered that, during tlio special session of the General Assembly of this State, which convened on the Otb day of | July last, Senator Charles P. Leslie, of Barnwell, otherwise known as the "irrepressible-" doubtless, forsooth, on account of his persistent and open opposition to class legislation of all kinds-became obnoxious to a majority of his colleagues, and, on the first semblance of a justifiable opportunity, was brought to the bnr of the Senate, and sentenced to six months' suspension. By what par? liamentary precedent or process of law this judgment was enforced, no one has yet undertaken to show, nor has the fact that, during the opera? tion of this personal punishment, the County which sent Mr. Leslie here, been deprived entirely of its representation on tho floor of the Sonate, ever received justification by reasoning or rule. The opponents of Mr. Leslie, however, attained their end, which was to keep him "out in the cold," until the nation has de? cided whether or not they wero Se? nators under the Reconstruction Acts. The verdict came-they now sit with undisputed authority as legis? lators, and we are glad to fiud that no matter what may have been the causes of their action iu tho past, justifiable or not, they yesterday dis? played the good sense and magnani? mity to restore Mr. Leslie to his seat, having first modified the resolution of suspension in such a way as to terminate its operation with the close of the special session. It is true that this was not accomplished without some preliminary iillibnstcring on tho part of the discontented minority, on Friday, as will be seen by refer? en ee to our report of the proceedings of that day; but the final action of tho Senate iu the premises, was of such a confirmed character, as to leave no doubt that its purpose was to do justice to tho whole people, while it was also magnanimous to Mr. Leslie. On resuming his scat, Mr. Leslie re? marked, as near as our notes serve' us, as follows: Mn. PRESIDENT: It gives me great] pleasuro to recognize you nt this | time, in your new official capacity, (nllud?ng4 to Mr. Montgomery as President, pro lem.,) and equal plea? sure, Senators, to greet you once moro as your colleague and co-labor? er for tho restoration of peace and prosperity in this Stale. The resolu? tion you have just adopted, rescind? ing the resolution by which the I exercise of my Senatorial functions j was suspended, is gratefully appre? ciated by me, not only on account of myself, but of my constituents, par? ticularly as it was unaccompanied by any demand for apology or explana? tion on my part. I feel, however, that it is my duty to say that, when? ever iu tho heat of debate, I have ever employed lauguago personally objectionable or offensive to Sena? tors, unavoidably or collectively, it has welled up to my lips from no in? stinct of prejudice, nor by any desire to derogate from your dignity as le-1 gislators. No gentleman over de? liberately proffers an insult, and I should feel personally culpable, did I cherish the recollection of ono word of disrespect to you, personally, uttered by me. Your magnanimous action leads mo to believe and hope that, in the future, our counsels to? gether may be harmonious, courteous j and creditable alike to our charaotora as legislators and men, and that the fruition of our labors will be found in tho passage of wiso and economical laws, created on tho foundation of equal and exact justice, alike to that unfortunate class of pooplo who, by the results of tho war, have become 1 tho wards of the nation, as well as to those who have been their guardians j and rulers in tho past. Let mo add, in conclusion, Mr. President andi Senators, in the words of that great and good man, who stands to-day as I our Chief Magistrate elect, "Lot us | have peace."

Mr. Ryan's left leg was badly broken near the anklo, and he received other injuries; his physicians think he is doing remarkably well and tbe patient is in good spirits.
