COL UNIA, S. C. Frilay Mor nins, March 19. 1?68. T-be London Time* ?\ut At, ul<l." The London Ti mrs basan article on war between v^reat Britain and the United States on account of the Alabama claims. It does not profess to believe that war ia probable, but takes issue with Mr. Reverdy ? Johnson upon a remark submitted by him that a war would bo "vastly more disas? trous to Eugland than thc United Stutcs." It confesses that Cunada might bo forced to snrronder, but contends that that would be "no loss" to Eugland. Tho Times couliniH s in tho followiug arch manner to compare capabilities of destructiveness between tho English and tho American.-, iu which that paper rather iufringes the putout of tho Confeds, and, furthermore, draws it rather strong as to "what lins happened" mid "what may,"cto., wink in thia Southern direction that will not get a wink back: ?"Tho snggestiou that numerous Alaba mas would scour every ocean iu search of tlie British Hi g and Ho in wait in tho crowded track of our Australian galleons is a thought of retaliation that must bo only too 'natural. But neither is tho monaco necessary nor is it so certain that wo should find tho odds against us in this sort of war? fare. Our ancestors were robbers and pirates, and the Americans arc n Btep further from that origin than wo aro, for wo sro an earlier link iu tho chain. Two ships did all the mountain of mischief that is laid to our charge, and if it is strange that thor could be Allowed to get ont of our ports, it is very much stranger that they should bo allowed to scour our cntiro ocean und tbwsten every pathway of commerce. If our neglect, our red-tapeism and our stu? pidity were so great as to arouse suspicion and breed mistrust, what is to bo said of thc .American Admiralty? How can Mr. John? son be sure that what has happened will not happen again? His argument requires that both circumstances nnd national character should chango on both sides of thc Atlantic. We ure to become irresolute, backward and chary. 'Wo are to-become inseusiblo to that honor which, if anywhere, we console our? selves we have maintained on tho sea. We are to be incapable of doiug on u grand and open scale that which was lately dono hero . on the smallest possible scale, irregularly and surreptitiously, yet with astounding sue cess. Tho crime charged agaiust those pri? vateers was that they wero British in every respeot whatever, except a Hag and a cap? tain's commission. On tho other baud, thc Americans are to do ou a colossal seato what .they failed to do in miniature. By their ? own estimate they lost moro iu the late war 'by the ships that durst not show themselves ?t-sll,-but kept in harbor for fear or Uiosu twe monsters, thau by the actual captures. Then, in tho present state of American polities, who can count on tho permanence .of tho stains quo in any respect? How would aforoig.i war operate on the Federal qnestion? Wonderful and uuexpected things have happened ou that fabulons soil; witness the death or maiming of 1,OU?,?OU men iu the field. What has happened may still happen. So also may that which hus not happened, nor even been imagined." -o The result of an investigation recently made by tho reporters of tho New York Times into the condition of thecolorod pop? ulation of New York, establishes the facts that during the year 18G7 and 18GS there were twice as muuy black as white men ar? rested, and that, as a general thing, tho on tire blink community is addicted to . gambling. The report ends us follows: "The present generation of colored peo? ple are congenitully of so low a type of intel? lect, and consequently of such low habits, ss. to be littlo bettor than mero animals." Another instance where tho moto in the. . ur other's oyo is alone seeu. The "higher ? civilization" should evidently commence at home. 'Hov. Samuel Anthony was dangerously wounded near Americns, Ga., while cele? brating a wedding. He hud gonn to thc residence of a Mr. Mann, whoso step? daughter was to bo married. During the ceremony, Mr. Mann entered in an intoxi? cated -condition, nud objected to Ibo pro ? oeeding8. Au attempt was made to eject him, when a shot gun ho held was dis? charged, dangerously wounding the clergy toa?. Mr. Anthony was able, while lying flown, to conclude tho ceremony which wai 30 inauspiciously interrupted. It was after? wards discovered that tho wounded clergy? man had two thicknesses of cloth, beside* over 200 small shot in bis body. It is though! he will recover. SBOCKIKO AFFAIK.-A barn on the furn of Wm. II. Vila?, near Winooski Falls, Vt., took fire about 8 o'clock on Friday evening and was entirely consumed. Tho barn wa.' a very large ono, and contained at the timi thirteen horses and colts, thirty cows, t yoko of oxen and IOU sltoep, (145 animal. in all.) seventy-five tons of hay, 100 bushel) of wheat, besides other grain, farm tods mowing and threshing machines, fte., nil o which were burned. Tho cows wero tied it ?their stalls, as well as the horses; ainoof .which was a favorite maro and several o ber <s?lts. Tho sheep wen- in a shed 15( lett long, which was filled with hay above and wero all destroyed. White kid gloves aro no longer fashion ablo for full-dress occasions. Light yellow cream or lavender aro tho "corredi color now in vogue "nilne?? amt Cb? nusluoti Prospects or Co lumbla~No, 1. MB. EDITOR: Dull, dull, most amazingly dall. Will nay thing ''chango the spirit of our dreariness?" The above, question has occurred to one-and doubtless to many of of our city'tn erena nts-within tho past two weeks. Are we doing tho legitimate and essential proportion of business to which our positiou and faoiliti ontitlo us, and if not. how in the evil tc bo retn?uio?? Tho writer thinks we ore not, nnd will eudeavor briefly to assign his roisous. First, in regard to tho cotton question, which is acknowledged tho world over to bo tho groat controlling product of our South? ern trade and com more*. It is by no means uccossary to enter into tho detail of figures, to provo that Ibo receipts and shipments of cottou from tho Columbia depots is very fur ?mort of what it. onco was, of what it no.v should bo and tho quantity it must hereafter bc, to insure our mercan tilo growth and commercial importance. Hive wo not rail? roads; have wo not banking facilities where? with to move tho cotton? llavo we not a board of trade to proposo plans and devise ways for moving the crop? It is weil known that wo have all these, and still wo have not, during tho passing s">?nn, con? trolled our just proporti n ui it. Why do wo COP" autly hear accounts o! cotton that i? hauled from points North, Wost and "Last of us to Augusta, Ga., to Cheater, Winnsboro, and tbcucu shipped Northward or to Liverpool, without so mno.* us a drayman receiving a benefit? These aro vital questions to our town, and should bo grappled fearlessly and in earnest by our board of trade. Would not our cotton business treble itself tho next season, if the different depots on roads lead? ing to this city were doubled in sizo and accommodation, and the tariffs on cotton for shipment to this point reduced forty or fifty per cent.? Would not such a policy double tho business of railroads centreing here, and command tho business through? out adjoining Districts? Tho writer insists that it would; and urges further, that tho best interests of all railroad corporations lies in making the lowest possible rates of freight, nnd extending tho greatest possible amount of accommodation and promptness. Above all things, if a courtesy or lavor is extended, let it be dono io a generous, wholo-soulod manner, and not with envyiug and unmanly complaint. The pi ices paid tho planter for cotton ut thia point aro as high, or higher, as at any interior town in the land, and in this re? spect our country friends are peldom heard to complain. Thc writer thinks that an estimate of prices on an average tim ing tho past fall will show a higher figure than that of our Augusta neighbors. Willi all due respect to them, we claim it, and oiler, as explanation, that we scarcely Eetenough to Olvide tinily among ourselves. VTliGlL. -o The Spaniards in Cuba aro violating all laws, not ouly of civilized warfare, but of humanity, in a shocking manner. They have not only shot the captured Cuban Gen. Lopez, but, ns ono of the Spanish organs in Havana states, in tho neighborhood of Gibara tbey have despatched some of the captives with kuives. They are setting a frightfnl precedent, and they will have to binnie themselves if some day they have to pay dearly for theso horrid outrages. A well-known citizen of New York recently died with such Strange symptoms that bin physician procured tho permission of resur? recting tho body and making au autopsy. From that it appeared that the beurt and liver bad always occupied positions opposite to those usual and natural. The heart was on the right fide and the liver on thc left. GOOD POINT.-The World puts this flue point on the fifteenth amendment; "When the lately emancipated negro slaves of the South voted for Grant, and, by being tho balance of power, elected him, they either had tho right to vote or they hail not. If tbey did have it, why this proposed amend? ment to give it to them? And if they did not, then Grant was elected bv illegal I votes." A young woman in Chicago has invented a new branch of fomalo usefulness. She advertises that sho will "givo lessons in etiquette, and tho way of conversing with ladies, to any yoting gentleman who does not feel at ease in the society of the oppo? site sex. Tuition lo lovers, extra." She makes a specialty of proposal? in various forms. Some one who takes nu interest iu young ladies writes as follows: "It is hoped that few of the young ladies will adopt tho latest fashion of blackening a half-circle under their eyes. It gives u languid expression to tho countenance, but terribly mars their beauty." Thero has been a Stewart case in the British Parliament. Sir Sidney Waterlow, a rich London contractor, has been obliged to retire from business in order to hold his soat, tho luw imposing a peuulty of .C500 a day upon any ono silting in tho Houst while engaged in a Government contract. Tho Berlin Volkszeitung, tho most popu? lar Democratic paper in Prussia, employs a? nominal editor a man whoso priucipal occu? pation is to servo out tho terms of imprison? ment to which ho is sentenced for article! written by other men. BOOTH'S LIFE INSURANCE.-Then is a pa per published nt Ottumwa, Iowa, whicL states, as a "curious fact," that the insur anco companies have never paid tho insur anco on J. W. Booth's life, and, nlthougl his mother is yet living, she has never math any application for the money. A young girl ouco asked: "Do tell rn? why it is Cupid continues, so long after tin invention of gunpowder, to use arrows?' "To avoid tho report of liro-artns, whicl would attraut the jealous," was the reply. 50 Sweet Potato Slips. BUSHEL'S YAM POTATO 8LIP8, in One order, for palo by E. A O. D. HOPE. W. H.

At one time, it was feared that the main building would tako fire, and tho excitement among the lunatics was intense, and their screauif aud yells fearful to listen to. By tho per severance and determination of the firemen, however, tho spread of tho flames was pre vented. -o Wo have received a note from Mr. E. V N. Hitchcock, Business Superintendent o the Brignoli Opera Company, that an eu gagement has just been concluded with th great Tenor, Signor Brignoli, under th termsof which ho will, for tho first tioie, visi the South, and will appear in thc principa cities.

Ml3+lt3 The great Life Insurance Company of tho United States is tho National, of which Jay Cooke St Co. are the General Agents, Wash? ington. Compared with other big compa? nies, it is destined soon to bo the BIGGEST company in tho country. Why? Because its growth and popularity, measured in its infnuey, warrants it. They have issued, in five months, nearly 4,000 policies, embra? cing n sum insured of upwards of $18.000, 000, and thc applications daily increasing. Another reason is, that tho plan of tho Na? tional is the correct one, tho cheapest one, the most liberal one; secures tho largest amount, for tho sum paid; no fictitious or distaut dividends declared to dazzlo tho im? agination with ils glittering promises, but gives you n cash dividend in hand before yon start. How? A young clerk, ngo twenty, pays $12.90 ii year, und secures a policy in the National for $1,000. In other companies he pays $10.89-a differenco of $6.04, or a cash divideud of over fifty-two percent. This difference will euablo him to take ont a policy for $500 more; so that, should bc die, his family secures $1,500, and pay no more premium than other com? panies charge for $1,000. This don't look like, whn1 is supposed by some to bo tho case, that tho company divide all tho profits among themselves. Why, tho fact is, they [jive 3'ou a dividend before it is due-in ad? vance -and no contingent operation of ma? king a profit is dependent upon it. Insuro in the National. (Jail and get circulars. B.
