COLUMBIA, S. C. Tueiday Morning, Joly 13. 1868. R?v. KOBBBT Winson.-We clip from the Chester bo wa (Md.) Transcript the following complimentary notico of the gentleman whose name hoads this notice. Rev. Robert Wilson is a clergyman of the Episcopal Ohuroh, and a graduate of the University of Virginia. The Trans? cript B&JB: . . "A marriage, with no, is an event; for everybody, and the rest of mankind, flock ont to old St. Paul's to see the two made one flesh. Apropos, that old church presented a beautiful appearance on Whitsunday and Trinity, decked off in wreaths ana bunches of white flowers, the walls, newly white-washed, affording appropriate respeot to the time of the ? year. This, in direct contrast with the becoming and variegated dresses of the ladies, formed a picturesque scene of de? votion that can be met with only in a rural congregation; tb o simplicity, in oar opinion, more to be admired than all the display of some city temples, of late so costly and so vain. "The solemnity and appropriateness of the worship was heightened by the eloquently able sermon of our minister. Mr. Wilson's sermons are not only inte? resting, but practical and instructive. one can listen to his handling of a text and go away unsatisfied. He evades no points of difficulty; he overlooks co doctrinal dissensions ; but, with an honesty that is refreshing, goes right on to the difficulties that are in the way of the seeker ofter the one true faith; and, although we know him as yet only ns a preacher, and not as a pastor, owing to his having no conveyance, still sinco his ministry not only has the church held her own, bat the glebe has been vastly improved, and a confirmation class formed. In truth, he, aided and assisted by the vestry and ladies of the parish, has made the wilderness to 'bloom as the rose,' for where all was sedge, now vege? tation grows; and in fitting np the grounds where nil was chaos, now 'order reigns supreme;' nod neatness and com? fort invite. The congregation have no? bly done their part; but he has not been idly awaiting their action; he has pressed right on, surmounting all difficulties, putting his shoulder to the wheel, and now is repaid with the satisfaction that a vast deal of this is his own handiwork. Long may St. Paul's flourish as now she seems to under his guidance, 'mid all difficulties nod trials, until 'her children arise up and call her blessed.' The grounds around tho churoh are as beau? tiful as over, and nicely kept, showing no abatement of the zeal of those who have in charge this 'city of the dead.' " This gentleman, the Rev. Robert Wil? son, was a citizen of Columbia, and an occasional contributor to the South Caro? linian. We tako pec.inr pleasure in thc favorable impression which our old friend he>s made iu Maryland, and we gladly give our congratulation to Mary? land, that it has secured the services ol this ripe scholar aud accomplished gen tleman. How SHALL THE NEOBOES LIVE?-A radical correspondent asks the editor ol the Louisville Courier-Journal how tin negroes of the South are to live if UH Southern States aro to be flooded witl Chinese? To which ho replies, perhaps they eau live by voting and offico-seok ing, and these aro kinds of work fo: which they are probably not too lazy We have, adds the Courier-Journal, beoi assured by the Democratic organs o Virginia that tho negroes of that State with scarcely a single exception, regis tered their names and would vote for th unexpurgated constitution, and we hav no doubt that they did so. This consti tution provides that nearly tho wholo o the disfranchised white people bball re main disfranchised and bo governed b; the blacks, and that they shall be incom potent to hold ornee. Thousands of thes negroes will soou be applying to th mm, whom they have voted to degrade and seeking from thom situations as hi borers and all other kinds of favors; bu if wo were in those white men's place? wo would, with nil our pity for th wretched negroes, sootier throw on money in the river than bestow one do] lnr of it upon them except in case c absolute necessity. We should scorn t tolerate a negro upon our premises wh had voted for tho privilego of pattie his foot upon our necks. The negror. have all been warned, a thousand time over, of the inevitable consequence t themselves of tho coarse they were pm suing, and they will deserve no sympi thy when tho dark days of their troubl shall be upon them. ? ? ? > BCLIA" ron FANNY.-Fanny Fern tin disposes of that ornamental and us?le object culled a ''handsome mau," au sensible folks will concur. Sho says: But your conventional "handsom man" of the barber's window, wax figun head pattern; with pet lock in tho mit die of his forehead, au apple-sized beac and a raspberry moustache with six hnii in it, paint put on his chook, and a littl dot of a "goalteu" on his chin, wit pretty blinking little studs in his sb i bosom; and a little neck-tio that looks : if ho would fuint were it tumbled-I' as lief look at a poodle. I always feel desire to nip it up with a pair of ?nga tongs, drop it gently into a bowl i cream, and strew pink rose leaves ovi tho littlo remains. Th? Consolidation or tit? Charlotte, Co? lombia ?ad Autuita Railroad. MR. EDITOR: In yonr issue of July 10th there is au article headed "In Me? moriam," that'* betrays great ignorance and does injustice to the throe worthy gentlemen, whose epitaph the olaasio oulogist records. Ho sara Qeu. Wade Hampton, Col. Childs and Gol. Gibbes opposed consolidation, and were left ont in the new Board of Directors because they defended the interests of Columbia, and did not desire to see the capital a way-side station. Where he obtained bis information, that those geutlemen opposed consolida? tion, I am at a loss to discover, certainly not from anything that transpired at the stockholders' meeting, for lhere, as the official proceedings will show, the only question in dispute was tho terms of con? solidation, not the question of consolida? tion, but upon what terms it should be effected. Col. Gibbes' resolutions fa? vored consolidation upon tho terms of four shares of Columbia and Augusta Railroad stock for one share in the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, and bis resolution was supported by the votes of Gen. Hampton and Col. Childs, thus proving that they were in favor of consolidation upon certain terms, and such as affected only their individual and personal interests, and evinced no more consideration for what the classic "epi taphist" mistakenly considers the inte? rests of Columbia, tuan the resolutions of tho joint committee, which ^fTected the trade on different terms. At tue meet? ing of stockholders, not ono word was said by either of the three gentlemen named in opposition to consolidation, and tho only argument and dispute was us to the trade of tho stocks of tho two roads-a question that had no relation whatever to the interests of Columbi?. It is hardly necessary to say that your contributor's fears, that Columbia would degenerate into n mere way-side station, are his peculiar property, and certainly cannot be shared by any intelligent citi? zen of Columbia, either in or out of the now directory. She is a competing point, and as such, can always dictate, in? stead of being dictated lo. The South Carolina Railroad can make a bid for freight to and from nearly all of tho main points served by tho consolidated road, and other lines that aro projected will soon bc competing for her trade. Hence, Columbia can readily eeo that she is in no danger of becoming a way-sido sta? tion, and intercepting tho strange mes? senger to Lacedemon, she sends him back, with an epitaph for the restiug pluce of your classic contributor, thus: "Friends, forgive him; he knew not whnt he did." V. DEATH FROM CORPULENCE.-On Tues? day afternoon last, Mrs. Elisha Ogborn, aged forty, wife of Mr. "Wm. P. Ogborn, who resideson Ridge Road, Roxborough, near Philadelphia, died of sullocation from excessive corpulence. She weighed 430 pounds two years ago, but those who kuow her intimately say she must have weighed GOO pounds at the time of her death, as she had not been able to move about much for the last-" year or two. Owing to her great weight, she was obliged to sit on a sort of box, as no chair could be found large or strong enough to bear. her. In dying, Mrs. O. fell to tho floor, and it was tue utmost that six stout men could do to raise her, by means of the carpet, on the bed. Five tried, but failed. It was then thought best to remove the body to tho ground floor of the house, and some eight or ten men wore required for that service. The coffin was threo feet wide, and there wero twelve pall-bearers. BALLOON* UP FOR THE NORTH POLE. French journals mention the construc? tion of a balloon designed to go to the North Polo. Tho most distinguished mronauts in France are interested in the project, and Government aids it. Tho balloon is made of some very elastic fa? bric, which will swell in the upper and more rarefied air, and make room for tho expansion of gas without bursting. It is tho largest ever made, and will carry ton persons, supplies for months, and -1,000 pounds of ballast. With this ?erial ve? llido, tho voyagers expect to settle thc question of an open polar sea, nud dis? perso all tho other mysteries of that por? tion of the globo. Frenoh scientists do not ridicule the undertaking; though, on tho other hand, thoy do not pin their faith on it. They aro willing to wait and see what will come of the enterprise. IMPORTANT RUMORS FROM FRANCE. Cable telegrams allude- to changes of un extensive character. The French Em? peror, taking his cuo evidently from tho results of tho late elections, is willing to surrender in n measuro tho arbitrary power which ho has wielded sinco his assumption of the imperial purple. Per? sonal government is to be abandoned at least such is tho indication-to make way for a government more iu harmony with tho wishes of tho French people. Napoleon, learning another lesson from tho past, and desirous of acceding to tho aspirations of his subjects, is about to enter upon a policy which, while it is at variance with Napoleonic touchings, is such as will increase his popularity at home and claim additional consideration for intelligence as a ruler abroad. A negro boy, on tho night of the 23d ult., attempted to commit a rape upon tho person of a whito widow lady, re? siding near Goodman, but was fright? ened off by the screams of tho lady's lit? tle daughter. Tho boy was arrested and confessed tho crime, and was taken by a squad towards Durant. On reaching tho Dig Black bridge, he was taken from the squad by several unknown persons, and it is supposed he. committed suicide, ns ho hus uoL boon seen sinoe. New York boasts of ten places of amusement, tho doors of which aro closed against an unappreciative public. TU o Court- W. J. Whlppsr. We neglected to state last week that the court adjourned op Monday, the 28th ult. The criminal business occupied the court only four days, when the juries were discharged, and the court adjourn? ed to Monday morning, foe the trial of the civil business. One of the juries had eleven negroes on it, and the other nine. The lawyers agreed to dispense; with them, preferring to try their, cases before the Judge alone. By this course, the docket was rapidly gone through, and more work done in ono dey than would have been accomplished in a week if all the cases tried by the Judge alone had been submitted to a jury. W. J. Whipper, one of tbe codifiers of the laws of the Stato, was in attendance during the trial of tho criminal cases, but as we did not hear him except iu an as? sault and battery case, we could form no just estimate of his ability as a mau, or of his erudition ns a lawyer. The follow? ing order taken out by him while here gives abundant evidence of his qualifica? tions and fitness as a codifier of the laws of the State: "The State of South carolina, } Indilement vz. \ for - ) Larceny. The Grand Jury haveing been dis? charged and no Bill giveing out in the above case, on motion of W. J. Whipper atty for Defendant it is ordered that the Defendant bo discharged from custody without day." Who after this will say, he is not a fit and proper person for the great work the right man in the right place-and a worthy successor of the great and learned James Li. Petigrn? The following facts, which were detail? ed in his presence on the stand by tho witnesses in an assault and battery cuse, demonstrate his aptness and skill in put? ting a stop to those kiuds of prosecu? tions. A very respectable aud intelligent freedman was indicted for having tied and switched a negro boy who assisted in stealing from him fifteen or sixteen dollars in gold and silver coin. Shortly aftor this occurrence, Squire Whipper visited Georgetown for tho purpose of assisting Parson Whittemore in giving a proper direction to the political thoughts of the freedmen and scalawags here. Ho heard of the case. It was a dreadful thing to whip a thief caught with thc stolen articles on him. Whipping was a badge of slavery, and for it to be resort? ed to by one who was so lately "redeem? ed, regenerated and disenthralled," was perfectly hoirible iu itself, and dread? fully offensive to the Young Negro Men's Association. The church took the mat? ter in hand, and said "let us have peace;" but tho association said you may cry "pence, but there is no peace." One of our brethren has been whipped for steal? ing money, and the offender must bo punished. In this condition of things, Squire Whipper was consulted. Squire Whipper sent for his offending brother, impressed him with the grave nature of his offence, and offered to sto he prose? cution against him if ho wo 1 pay him twenty-five dol?ais cash down, and pro? mise to pay tho thief twenty-five dollars at some future day. Tho twenty-five dollars wero promptly paid to Squire Whipper, who put it in bis pocket, say? ing bo would get tho Attorney-General to enter a nol. pros, in the caso-that be would keep only five dollars for himself, and the remaining twenty should be ap? plied to the costs of the case. All of which Squire Whipper forgot to do. He forgot to pay the costs. Ho forgot to I have tho nol. pros, entered in the case, and tho result was, that his victim had to stand his trial, with Squire Whipper quietly looking on with his twenty-live dollars in his pocket, and offering no word of explanation for his conduct. We hnvo uo comment *o make, further than to say, that there was a day in South Carolina when .. white man, for couduct less reprehensible, would have been stricken from tho roll of at? torneys, aud very probably indicted for swindling; while in these days of igno? rance and unblushing impudence, a member of the bar, who is also a member of the Legislature and ono of the codi? fiers of the laws of the State, is suffered to go unpunished, for no other reason that we can conceivo of except that he is an illiterate negro. - Georgetown Times. AN UGLY PIECE OF BUSINESS.-On the night of the 25th of May last, after tho election for Coroner at Pleasant Lane, u negro mau named Benben Smyly, living on the plantation of Hansom Mimmer man, Esq., was very severely beaten by parties still unknown. On Wednesday last, this negro died. A coroner's in? quest was hold upon tho body, by Lemuel Corley, Esq., and tho verdict rondered, was, if we mistake not, that tho deceased carno to his death from tho effects of tho beating received on the 25th of May. Several gentlemen of the Pleasant Limo neighborhood are being implicated, by tho reports of negroes, in this affair; but as yet no arrests have been made. -Edgefleld A dr cr User. A letter from Irkutsk (Eastern Sibe? ria) in tho Bourse. Gazelle, of St. Peters? burg, states that a project is entertained of establishing an orthodox Kassian Episcopal Seo, nt Pekin, tho capital of tho Chineso Empire. Thus would be realized tho idea formerly conceived by Peter tho Great, but which it hus been found impossible to execute down to tho present day. Tho Postmaster-General recently tele? graphed Parson Brownlow to know what sort of man H. ll. Meyers, a carpot-bag gor, was, who wanted to bo mail agent. "Tho worst man unhung," replied Brownlow. "Secretary," saul Creswell, "mako out Meyers' papers." A lad of ton, sou of Mr. Thomas Mars? den, while playing in Greouwood Ceme? tery, on Tuesday, tipped over a small monument, v. idell fell upon him and crushed him instantly to death. His father and mother were witnesses of the heart-rending occurrence. DEATH TOOK CBXOBOFOBM.-Isadore, lhe youngest daughter of General Albert Pike, was found dead iu her bed nt Mem? phis, on Wednesday morning. Sho had retired complaining of nervous headache, and from au empty chloroform bottle found beside her, it is supposed that she used it to soothe the pain, and in her sleep had upset tho bottle upon her pil? low. ^ Old Bill W- was dying. He wns an ignoran t man, and a very wicked one. Dr. JD--., an excellent physician and a very pious man, was attending him. The old fellow asked for bread. The Doctor approached the bedside, and in a very solemn tone remarked: "My dear fellow, man cannot live by bread alone." "No," said the old fellow, slightly reviving, "he's 'bleged to have a few wegetables." The subject was dropped. The artificial ice machines are not only competing successfully with the natural ?co brought from the North to the Southern States, but are earning very largo profits. It has thus beeu practically proved that the making of ice by the artificial means is a great success; for even in localities where ice forms in winter the cost of cutting, transporting, storage, loss, ?ce,, make tho natural about as expensive as that produced by a good ice machine. TUE VENGEANCE OF HEAVEN.-Tho Knoxville Press and Herald, of tho 4th instant, says that of the knot of radical Ku Klux engaged, some fifteen months ago, in cruelly whipping Parson Xenl, a Southern Methodist preacher, traveling in pursuit of his culling, three have since died, one was lately thrown from bis horse and killed, n fifth is in jail for crime, a sixth was struck by lightning, and in the same storm the tree to which Neal was tiod while they were whipping him, was runt in twain by a thunderbolt ! A benighted old mau, who does not know the meaning of the rainbow, is westing his time in watching for a second Hood. He lives near Carlinville, Illinois, ou tho line of tho Alton, St. Louis and Chicago Railroad, where he has con? structed an ark. This curious craft has a stem-wheel of ample dimensions at one end of it, and an engine, with its at? tachments, nearly ready, to set things in motion wdien the great floating day ar? rives. Ho eats and sleeps iu his ark, de? termined not to bo caught nappiug, at least outside of his ship. The artists of the North, particularly the young ones, are now, and will be for years to come, engaged in paiutiug bat? tle pieces of the late war. lu these specimens of art, the Confederates are invariably represented ns running away in pell-mell style, and the Union troops charging home in the full flush of vic? tory. lu a few years it will be firmly believed in the North that in no single instance was their forces defeated. What with Harper's wood-cutters, aud impecu j uious, though patriotic brushes, it will t soon bo a difficult matter to explain why I tho war did not end in a fortnight, instead of lasting four years. This, however, can? not bo avoided-it is the inevitable re? sult of defeat. Still, great deeds never die, and tho memories of the South will, like tho Hies in amber, go down to our posterity, to be rescued thence from tho artoblivion which now, for tho time being, threatens to engulph them. [New Orleans Times. NOTICE TO QUIT.-Under this caption, tho Baltimore Evening Commercial luis tho following estimnte of the election in Virginia: Virginia, on last Tuesday, served her uotico to quit on the beggarly Yankee radicals who have, for the last few years, infested that State. She advises them to take np their bed, if they have any, and walk away from her shores. Wells' daj\s aro numbered; no more revenue from tho sole of pardons to negro con? victs; no more plunder of the Stute Trea? sury. Ho must go bock to work, and all like him must find employment and ho? nors elsewhere. "While wo are disposed to rejoice over tho defeat of Wells, beyond that we do not see much in this election to delight any Virginian; for, though there may be selections and choice between carpet? baggers, yet tho faot that a great and noblo people have been hunted down until they aro compelled to ranko such a choice, is most humiliating. Virginia has pronounced her verdict against the administration of Gen. Grant. She has defeated the administration candidate by au overwhelming vote. This is the first popular election since tho inauguration, and it speaks volumes of tho coming po? pular condemnation. "How CAN I COOM!"-The Davenport (Iowa) DemocrtU, of June 22, gravely says: Tlio following story is good, because it is true. We lind it from tho lips of a good woman, who was told it by tho principal actor herself: "Von I first come to Filadelfy to serve, I was very uncivil," said Katrina, now a tidy ser? vant in a respectable family; "I laugh much, and I feel ashamed to remember how I behave ven I know so little. Shou, tat vas my beau-Shou, ho took mo to that tooter one night-ven I been iu Filadelfy but tree weeks. Wo sits in tho gallery, and wo soo not goof, aud Shou said ho would get a better seat. Ho, ho puts his leg round dor post, and sh lides down mit der pit, and looks up, and calls out: "Katriua! Katrina! coom down! tis n good place here!' and I lean over, and said I, 'How can I coom down, Shon?' and he said 'Shust shlide down!' So I put my legs round der pillar, and I shlides down. Donder! how tho peoplo laugh! Doy laugh so doy play no moro dad night upon te stage. Everybody laugh", and yell, and whistle all over der house. I was much ashamed den, tough I know not any harm. But now I blushes red every time I tinks mit it." Xj O O S?, 1 I t e -m s . HOT.-The thermometer touched 106, on Sunday, in a cool spot-the hottest day of the season. OOLUKBIA MECHANICS' SOCIETY.-We are requested to state that a meeting of this society will be held this evening, at the Carolina House, at 8 o'clock, to re? ceive the report of the Committee on Constitution and By-Laws. We are reliably informed that the con? tract entered into between Messrs. Cres? well & Co. and the Blue Bidge Bailroad Company, is most favorable to that com? pany. The work will be commenced early in August, nnd pushed forward so that tho entire work to Maryville, Tenn., will be completed within two years from tho 1st of August, 18G9. Tho contract bas been taken at a very small per cent age above engineer's estimates. GREASE ON CARPETS.-There is nothing that annoys a tidy house-koeper so much as to have her carpet spotted with lamp oil or grease, and we, therefore, make knowu, for their boucl;., the following receipt f^r extracting oil or grease spots from carpets and clothes: Cover the grease spots with whiting, amt let it re? main until it becomes saturated with the grease; then scrape it off aud cover with another coat of whiting, and if this does not remove the grense, repeat the appli? cation. Three coats of whiting will, in most cases, remove the grease, when it should be brushed off with a clothes brush. So says one who pretends to know. There are many persons who require some change from tho busy scenes of home; a month away at this season in? vigorates body and mind, and prepares ono for the continued battle of life. The Virginia Springs have always been the resort of those in search of health or pleasure; but tho means of our people generally prevent them from going to those charming watering places. We think many of our readers will thank ne for calling their attention to anothei summer resort nenrer home. The Cleve? land Mineral Spriugs-fifty-five miles West of Charlotte-better known, per haps, as the old Wilson Springs. Th? waters are, we believe, quito ns good as tho White Sulphur, in Virginia. Th< accommodations are good, tho faro excel icut and climate delightful.

Everything is done for th< comfort of their guests, and in cases o: illness their attention is unremitting Tho charges aro very moderate-$48 pe: month. Ono leaving Columbia ou th? Charlotte train, at 2 o'clock, spending tho night in Charlotte, and taking tin train next morning, finds himself at tin Springs by 2 o'clock. Trains conuec three times a week. The cost of reach ing the Springs, including hotel bill a Charlotte, is about $13.00. MEETING* OF TAX-PAYERS.-A meetini of tho tax-payers of Richland was heh yesterday, in tho Court House. On mo tiou of P. H. Elmore, Esq., Col. Wm Wallace was called to the chair, and Mi H. W. Rice requested to act as Secretary Upon taking the chair, Col. Wallac briefly explained the object of the meei ing, which was to take somo concerte action in regard to the very onerous tas ntiou that had been imposed upon ou citizens by those in power-which ar pea red to be a concerted act on thei part to rob tho citizens of this State c their last dollar. John S. Green, Esq., then submitte tho following resolutions: Revived, That it is the opinion of th: meeting that the present assessment ( State and County taxes is oppressive unequal and, as wo believe, illegal. Resolved, That wo will resist the pnj ment of said taxes by all lawful mean to the extent of our abilities. Resolved, That iu order to do so, yi will select able counsel to take such legi steps iu tho premises as they may deei best. These resolutions wore seconded b James D. Tradowoll, Esq., in a ver strong and ablo address, which was li: toned to with great attention by th meeting; upon the conclusion of whio the vote upon tho resolutions was taker and they were ndopted. On motion of Johu McKenzie, Esq a committee of three was appointed t select suitable counsel, under the thir resolution, aud to make tho necessnr assessments to defray tho expenses o said counsel. Tho committee consists of Messr John McKenzie, Thomas Taylor and I B. DeSaussure. A committee, consisting of Messr James D; Tradewell, F. W. Fickliug an John S.

Jl It is said that tho proprietors of the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS rent no less than nine pews from the different denominations in New York city for all those of their employees who will occupy them regularly, free of charge. This is cortoiuly praiseworthy, and it is to be hoped that others who employ a large number of people will follow the exam? ple. Tho above fact, accompanied with tho belief that a firm who would look 30 closely after tho morals and welfaro of their exployecB, would not undertake to impose upon tho public, has induced us to give tho PLANTATION BITTERS a trial, and having found them to be all that is represented, wc cordially recommend them as a tonic of rare merit.
