COLUMBIA, S. C. Wednesiay Morning, February 24. 1869. Andrew Johnson. As ibo period of bis Presidential career is rapidly waning to its olose, we aro forci? bly reminded of the cor*tentions utterance of Plutarch, in his description of mankind's usage: "More worship the rising than the setting sun." Bat a few months past, and his name loomed np in every diurnal sheot, and every tongue spoke praise or oensuro. It was a household word for diatribe or eulogy. Now, as tho Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript pointedly remarks, there ara none so poor as to do him reverence, and he vanishes from public gaze and attention tho il lest used and best abused occupant of the Chief Magistracy of tho nation. lu his retiraoy into private life, we of the South do proffer him a people's gratitude, for his manly and gallant defence of our best interests, and bis unflinching resist? ance to legislative aggression. Standing almost alone and unaided in the mainte? nance of the principles and integrity of the Constitution; against the assaults of a re? volutionary and overpowering foe; he pre? sents to our mind an example of the high? est patriotism, which few can parallel and none excel. Lot him go, with the solace that, although history may not accord him a tardy justice, he has nobly won the honest guerdon of the South. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant.1' -o Although the Spanish revolution was almost bloodless, yet in its great results it strongly resembles the French revolution. A total revulsion seems to have taken place in society. The places of the Grandees and Hidalgos, the New Orleans Times intimates, have been usurped by men who, a few years ago, were barbers and valets. The army is filled with plebian, upstart officers, and a system of financial extravagance has been inaugurated (which will, ero long, in? volve the country in bankruptcy. Each of the revolutionary leaders is gathering per? sonal supporters around him, and jealously watching the time when tho great struggle for sovereignty is to coinraenco. From present appearances, it is only the com? mencement of a revolution the world has witnessed, instead of the acaomplismont. -o MOTLEY.-The New Orleans Crescer.l says of a debute in the lower House of the Lou? isiana Legislature, recently, that thero was no less than four languages spoken in the course of it. The subject which elicited such u multiplicity of tongues, was a "bill providing for tho observance of tho Holy Sabbath." which had been introduced by a "cullud" person a day or two previous. After considerable"/;)^ aud con. had been said. Mr. Gnigonet, from Avoyelles Parish, asked permission to address tho House in French, which being granted, ho proceeded to de? liver a Gallic discourse, utterly and entirely opposing the measure. The wild boy of Lafourohe, known to the world as Morrell, then took the floor, and in bis simple and untaught eloquence advocated in the Ashantee dialect, varied occasionally with choice extracts from Congo aud Abyssinian writers on the subject, the passage of the bill. Up to this time, the House was filled with shouts of laughter, for notwithstanding tho seriousness of the subject, tho discussion which it evoked was too sublimely ludicrous not to excite mirth. But then Mr. Hong storff, of Orleans, rose, and first, by request, spoke ? short time in German, his nativo tongue, and then in English. -o Thu storms in Great Britain, at the begin? ning of February, havo exceeded any simi? lar events for u long time past. Tho loss of lifo was very great. Some of tho principal streets of the city of Cork were from three to four feet deep in water. The traffic on tho lines of railway on both Bides of the river Lee, on which Cork is built was stopped, the rails haviug boen submerged, and several breaches were made in the Queenstown direct line. At Youghal, the sea broke over the railway, destroying a por? tion of the station, overturning wagou.s, making Berious breaches in tho permanent way. Part of Queenstown is also under water. -o Tho proposition hus been mado to tho Georgia Railroad by parties having the control of the Port Royal Railroad to take $300,000 worth of stock of tho latter com? pany, tho gn aran tee being giveu in this event that tile road shall be li nish ed at no distant day. Tho Bourd of Directors of tho Georgia Railroad havo tukeu the matter into consideration, and havo appointed Messrs. D. E. E. Jones, of Madison, M. P. Stovall, of Augusta, and Stephen Thomas, of Athens, n committee to investigate tho matter, omi report ut tho annual meeting of tho .stockholders ia May next. -.-o THE MABKETS IN NKW YORK.-There aro thirteen public markets in Now York, and about 300 private markets. The public markets cover un urea of 892,500 square feet, and thoy aro valued at betweou 4,000, <)00 and $5,000,000. The business done nt tho public markets is immeuse, aud it is es ?pated that 100,000 producers send their product to Washington Market alone, and that 2,000,000 consumers get their supplies from that source. The aggregate business of tho private markets is estimated at about 81,500,000 par annum. . . a , . . NECESSITY FOB N?OHO TOTSSG.-Tho radi? cals, we are glad to see, are coming ont with the true motives for urging the passage of the negro enfranchising Acts. Sumner, ia a late speech in the SOD a te, for onoo forgot himself, and dropped his cant about the "inalienable rights of mea/' "all men boru free and equal," and other radical slang whang, by which a dishonest act may have tho christening of a high-sounding name. Ou this occasion, however, he lot the cat out of the bag, as follows: "You need votes in Connecticut, do you not? There are 3,000 fellow-citizens in that State, ready at the call of Congress, to take their placo at the ballot-box. You need them, also, in Pennsylvania, do you not? There are at least 15,000 in that great State, waiting for your summons. Wherever you moat need, there they nro. [Montgomery Mail. -o A NEW STATE OUT OF TEXAS.-Tho Texas Coustitutioual Convention has decided to erect a new State to bo callod West Texas, out of that part of the present State which lies beyond the river Colorado, and South of latitude 32. San Antonio is made the temporary capital of tho new State. The Governor and Senate are to be chosen foi four, the House of Representatives for two, and tho Judges of the Supreme and Dis? trict Courts for twolvo and eight years re? spectively. Tho Act providing for the nen State contains some novel provisions. Wo men are secured in their separate estates each County is compelled to provide a marmal labor poor house; when persona have lived together as husband and wife during life, even if not legally married, they shall be considered so married, and their issue be deemed legitimate; corpora tiona that commit wilful homioido are mad? liable to exemplary damages, etc. -o Double lines of railway, a third rail in Bingle lines and various other devices have been suggested and tried for the purpose ol arranging through freighting facilities fron the Atlantic sea-board to the Western inte rior without breaking bulk. This has finall; been accomplished by a very cheap, and o course, simple invention. Last week, i train of twelve cars loaded with merchan dize for Chicago, St. Louis, &c, startet from Boston, rm the Grand Trunk and con necting lines. The wheels are made to shif an the axle to the width of any requirei gauge, being fixed in the necessary plac? by keys, which aro oasily removed when i becomes needful to shift gauge at any sta Lion. A large number of cars are in con ?tructiou on this plan, which can, of course bo applied as well to passenger as to freigh carriage. It looks liko another "lea ahead."-New York Times. -o RETRIHUTIVK JUSTICE.-The Knoxvill Press and Herald says that tho days o miracles hnvo not passed away. Som months ago, tho Bov. Mr. Neal, a ministe of tho Methodist Church South, was tied t & tree and flogged, while on his way hom from church. Tho perpetrators of the ou rage were not arrested, but, says the Pres. "a stronger power than that which adm: nisters human law hos brought retributio upon them. Out of the outiro number c ruffians, three have since died, ono was r< cently thrown from his horse a?d receive injuries which are believed to be moria while another is now lying in juil for crim Even tho tree to which Mr. Neal was tie by bia persecutors, has boon smitten by tl same unseen, but ever-watchful power, an is dead." -o On Monday morning, a passenger on tl early train going into Chicago, was a] proached by a stranger, and informt that tlie conductor wished to see bim it mediately in the baggage car. The pa 8enger started for the baggage car, follo\v< by tho straugor, and, when he had reache the platform of tho second car, ho was s upon by a gang of three ur four men, wi garroted and robbed him of 8200. Tl gang then jumped ofT the train, and mai their escape. -o BURNING OF A CHURCH.-Wo learn fro the Macon Telegraph that tho Mcthodi African Church, in that city, was destroy by fire on Friday morning. It is thong to have been tired by an incendiary. T building had been iu disputo between t Northern and Southern Methodists, a had been taken possession of by the Shei aud delivered to the latter. They had hf their first meetiug in it on the night pri to its destruction. -o-. Re:lly Paris is improving. At a rece representation at the Italiens, in Paris lady sitting alono in ono of tho mostee spieaous boxes was so excessively decollt that she was requested by tho manager throw her opera cloak over her shonlde Rallier than submit, she. indignantly 1 tho theatre. Clyde, Ohio, has what is called a "Kt tiu.q Machine." A crowd of ladies walk ii a drinking saloon, hike possession of tho scuts, and quietly settle down at kt tiupj. Tin's stops the customary business tho placo. Yesterday afternoon, John aud Patr McNiilly, brothers, caught their arms tweeui tho rollers in tho Woonsocket rub works, Providence, R. I., by wliioh Jc lost an arm and Patrick both hands and arin. T?io completion of tho eight milo railn between Burnwell C. H. and Blackville ugain spoken of. I* is claimed that it boan important feeder to the South Ci lina Kuilroad. Somebody says "a lock of hair fro young woman's hoad is often a key young man's heart." Tho worst of it i? is often a false key. Swords Sr. Spears publish a nowspape Vicksburg, which is not half so share their names would indicate. BODTHKQN SEOUHTTIKS IN N?W TOBX.

LiOOal X'fcOXTLJB. -o COURT OF COMMON PLEAS AND GENERAL SESSIONS-February 23.-The Court was opened at 10 o'clock, when the case of Louisa Ward, alias Walker, (colored,) in? dicted for grand larceny, was taken up. During the progress of tho trial, it appeared that tho theft was committed by a third person, who hud absconded and was not indicted. At the instance of tho Solicitor, tho Judge churged tho jury to reuder a ver? dict of not guilty-which they did without leaving their zonta. In tho case of Jamos Singleton, for lar? ceny, tho jary returned a verdict of guilty. The case of Jonas Avery, indicted for re? ceiving stolon goods, resulted in a verdict of not guilty. Tho State rs. Bob, otherwise known as Robert Harris, indicted for petit larceny. Tho prisoner having been in jail since August last, and the prosecutor not appear? ing, on motion, ho was discharged upon his own recognizance in the sum of 8300. The State vs. Samuel F. Bunch. Indict? ment for bribery. No bill having been given given ont, on motion, ho was discharged. The Sessions' business being disposed of, sentences will bo pronounced npon those convicted during the term, this morning, at 10 o'clock. The jury in the case of Richardson and Gray had not agreed upon a verdict, np to tho hour of going to press. -o EMANATIONS FROM THE EXECUTIVE OFFICE. Mack D. Goodwyn, who was convicted at tho January term of the Spartanburg Conrt of Sessions, on circumstantial evidence, of murder, and sentenced to be executed on tho 12th of February, but respited by the Governor for thirty days, has had his sen? tence commnted to imprisonment in tho penitentiary, at hard labor, during his na? tural life. E. J. Black has been appointed a Notary Public for Charleston. Tho following Magistrates have been ap? pointed : Wm. S. Lance, Grahamville; Siimuel W. Maurice, Williamsburg; Wm. K. Thomas, Union County. -o Wo received a c*ll, yesterday morning, from Mr. C. L. Ryan-one of the sufferers at Gregg's fire-who, we aro pleased to state, is improving rapidly, considering the terrible injury to his leg. Dr. John T. Darby, several weeks ago, adopted a plan, which he had seen successfully carrried ont in Germany, of enclosing the injured limb in plaster of Paris, and by so doing enabled tho patient to leave his bed, and moveabont on crutches. Mr. Ryan speaks warmly in praise of tho improved treatment. -o Richelieu didn't want his young secretary to hnvo any tiling to do with "fail." Told him thero was no such word fairly in the dictionary. If everybody only believed it, and acted accordingly, thero would be no such thing-or rarely. It is true Richelieu never kept a dry goods store or a grocery, nor run a daily newspaper, but the princi? ple of tho thing he preached is sound and good. No young man should fail, espe? cially when he wants to get the heart and hand of some young woman. -o AN INTERESTING WOBK.-"Gardening for the South, or how to Grow Vegetables and Fruits," is the title of nn ill a s tinted work, by the late Wm. N. White, of Athens, Ga.; with additions by Mr. J. Vun Buren and Dr. James Camak. Tho work is very use? ful, thoroughly practical, and is commended by many agriculturists in different portions of the South. Orange, Judd Sc Co., 245 Broadway, New York, aro the publishers. Messrs. Duffie <fc Chapman have presented us with a copy. -o FIRE.-We regret to learn that tho saw? mill of Messrs. Whitlock & Stuck, about nino miles abovo Colombia, on the Monti? cello road, was destroyed by fire, on Mon? day night. It is believed to have been accidental. -o-. Just received at tho depository of the Ladies' Industrial Association a fresh sup? ply of silk and satin ribbons, embroideries, pius, needles, and other articles.
