COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, Joly 9. 1869. ?? ?. 1 ? ?: ?? : Senator Sprague ?ad tim Colamliia Ca? nal. "The Colombia PHONIX saya that Col. Pearoe, the agent of Senator S prague, is now in Columbia, accompanied by a surveyor, who has commenced making estimates for widening and deepening the canal. "The Columbia people had better not allow themselves to become too sanguine about this purchase. Neither Senator Spragae or any other ordinarily prudent and intelligent capitalist will be io any great hurry to pat their money ia pro? perty where she laws are made and the government administered by ignorant negroes and depraved carpet-baggers and soallawags. The grcnt ourse of our sister State is her completo subjection to ignorant and irresponsible law-makers and law-expounders. If the white men of Sooth Carolina would determine to take the control of governmental affairs itt the ir own hands-If they weald boldly assert and courageously maintain the power which intelligence, virtue, wealth and caste should always and everywhere assert over ignorance, vice and an infe? rior race-that proud old Stat? would soon resume her power, prestige and in? fluence. Until this is done, capital will not seek investments there. "In the meantimo, Mr. Sprague and other Northern capitalists and manufac? turers who desire to extend their busi? ness in the South, could not do better than to come to this city, and examine carefully the great inducements which oar location offers for manufacturing on a large scale. We not only have the finest water power in the South, but we have numerous and cheap lines of com? munication with the interior, and direct and speedy communication with tho At lantia ports, by three different railroad routes and a navigable river.1' The Columbia people are cautioned against being too sanguine in referenco to the canal purchase-a caution which comes at a late day, and for whioh they are correspondingly gratified, when, but a few days since, Col. Pearce, the agent of the purchaser, broko ground on thc canal, in compliance with the terms of the sale. We do not cavil at the state? ment of the Sentinel, in describing the inflictions of legislation under which wo suffer, (it is unfortunately too true;) nnd recognize to the full extent its influence in preventing the introduction of North? ern capital. Facts, though, are stubborn things, and tho appearance of Col. Spragae's agent, and the commence? ment of work upon the oanal, looks ex? tremely like Governor Sprague intended to complete the bargain. The facts of Col. Pearce's appearance in Columbia and Surveyor Tinsley, and of the initia? tory steps being taken in developing tho canal, were noticed in the PHOENIX, of Jane 29th; so, at least, this one capitalist is not fearful of risking his money in South Carolina. The Sentinel, in its re same of our political ?tatus, and con? clusion drawn ns affecting Northern in? vestments, is but an echo of an editorial in tho PHOENIX, of June 24th-save that oar article, in addition, expressed the strong bolief that Gov. Sprague would forfeit his bargain, and ignore its arti? cles. The arrival of Col. Pearce, and his conduct "since, i ip pels us, as an act of justice, to acknowledge tho error, and to assure the Sentinel that there is every reasoa to believe that the project will be fully carried out, in duo season. As concerns tho determination of "tho white men of South Carolina in taking the control of government, and boldly maintaining the supremacy of intelli gence, worth and caste," we would re? mind the Sentinel that it is a question of arithmetic; the marshaling of one against the many. The white men of this State compared numerically with the Republi? cans, shows that tho contest for supre? macy was, on their part, against the most desperato odds; and yet, with a brave, unfaltering heart, in tho recent Presidontial election, tho whites tho? roughly canvassed the State, and evinced a unanimity of purpose and a strength of union which deserved-richly merit? ed-success. Hud thc Sentinel borne this in mind, and recoguized thc disparity of numbers, and, too, tho force of the apho? rism, "tho heaviest nrtillery wins tho day," it might have spared tho unmerit? ed and injurious sarcasm against the whites of South Carolina. Never was an issuo moro gallantly contested; never n defeat moro un justly bestowed. In suggesting to Northern capitalists, and specially to Go'. Sprague, the supe? rior advantages of Augusta for manufac? turing on a large scale, we would remind tho Sentinel of tho golden adage of "livo and lot live." Gov. Sprague has been In Caroliua; has expressed himself pleased with tho kindness and hospitality of his treatment; has embarked his money in the capital of tho Stale; has avowed his determination, both by word and deed, to perfect his obligations, undeterred by tho political status of tho State, and other circumstances; and, iu all justice and equity, we ask the Sentinel to find n now purchaser for "tho finest water power iu the South," and not attempt to scanne Gov. Sprngue from bis fini allegiance. "We cannot agree that Augusta poseeses ? finer waler polier than the Columbio Canal; and we submit that wo have suf? ficient channels ol communication with tho Atlantic and New York, nt least, to retain the fidelity of Gov. Sprague to the word and spirit of his agreement. Ia conclusion, we submit that it is neither fair nor generous in the Sentinel to seek to benefit Augusta to tho detri? ment of Columbia; and wb trust our con? temporary, in seeking to develop its city and her water powern, will do so by re? fraining from odious and invidious com? parisons between Aagasta and Columbia.

Nay-Alderman Bates. 1. The preamble and resolutions were, therefore, adopted. The following communication was read from the Chair, and, on motion, received as information : To th? Board of Aldermen-GENTLE? MEN: The Bonrd of Health has reported certain places in tho city as nuisances to the public health. Tho police have no? tified the parties concornod, nud in most cases, the nuisance complained of has been abated. Still there aro those who have not attended to thc summons. They will bo reported to your body for the neglect, and, I trust, punished ac? cordingly. There aro parts of the citj', under the control of your authority, that have also been reported, which nuisance has been partially abated. But a more thorough remedy must be applied to effectually stop the nuisance complained of. I allude to the common highway known as Da? vis' alley; and would call your parti? cular attention to its present filthy and disgusting condition. It is due to the health of the citizens that prompt mea? sures bo taken to have it graded and properly drained, to carry tho water off that is constantly being poured into it from the different tenemeuts thnt border on it. In connection with it, it will be necessary to lay a brick drain from the corner of the alley, along Assembly street to Tay loi-, to intersect the stone drain crossing said streot. for tho pur? pose of finally disposing of the water. A brick drain r>n Plain street, South side, between Richardson and Assembly, is required; also asimilar drain, commenc? ing at the hall of tho Independent Fire Engine Company, on Washington street, North side, running down until it inter? sects the stone drain crossing Assembly street. These improvements will greatly subservo tho public health in the above mentioned localities. There aro other streets where the water does not find a ready flow, in the imperfect natural earth drains; but those above-mentioned re? quire your early attention. Tho foal water lays in them, exposed to the influ? ence of a burning sun; and if not attend? ed to, will causo malaria, and consequent fever. Such a consummation, detriment? al to tho health of thc citizens, must be avoided by nil the means within our power. Tho utmost regard to cleanliness in the drainngo of the streets deserves your serious attention. Much has been dono in this respect, through tho iudefa tigability and industry of tho Committee on Streets; much moro has been dono than could have been expected from tho means placed at their disposal. Tho great blessing of health to tho city will crown your endeavors in these, as well as all, sanitary measures that may bo enacted for tho benefit and welfare of the citizens. Tho Board of Health, through their chairman, recommends that the weeds growing rank in the open lots of tho city should bo cut down and destroyed; also, that disinfectants shall bo used on all cesspools and privies, nt least once a week, during the mouths &i July, August and September. Those re? commendations havo been promulgated through tho city paper, and, I trust, will bo attended to by tho parties concerned, without having recourse to being mulct? ed in penalties that must follow a neglect on their part. It is tho duty of every citizen to see that no nuisance exists on his premises, and to report the existenco of any in his neighborhood to tho proper authorities; so that, by timely measures, wo may bo enabled to ward off any sick? ness that would otherwise bo engendered; and by tho blessing of an All-ruling Pro? vidence, moko our once beautiful city what she always has been-ono of tao healthiest in tho South. Respectfully submitted, JOHN MCKENZIE, Mayor. On motion, Council adjourned. J. S. McMAHON, City Clerk. Grant appointed no negro cadets, no thereby enraged tho negroes of Washing? ton. "What?" say they, "aro colored men to bc restricted in social intercourse to tho mechanical classes, and their sous and hoirs to bo refused admission to the national academics at West Point and Annapolis? Perish tho thought!" Grant puts negroes into tho printing-office and brick-ynrds and navy-yards, but none in? to West Point. 1,000 years beforo tho birth of Chisto phor Columbas, "ho Chineso Year Books say that a company of Bnddhist priests entered Amorica by way of Alaska, and examined tho wholo Western const of North America.
