COLUMBIA, a c. Sunday Morning, August 22, 1869. Th? Ca m vo ?n in Obi?. Since Pendleton's nomination, the in? dications are that the political fight in Ohio will be a sqnare one between the Democrats and radicals. The radical papers in that State admit that the De - mooratio party is formidable in numbers and discipline, and that the contest will be a sharp ono. If any man oon arousu the Democratic party to tbe foilc3t exertions, that man is Pendleton. Young, ardent, higb-aouled, ablo, true, his uro tho quali? ties to command admiration a?d excito enthusiasm* The questions of suffrage, finances, the tariff, aro the vital ones upon which the canvass will bo contact? ed, and radicalism will, no doubt, be subjected to a thorough examination. The election, like thai in Pennsylvania, will be of national significance. -. ? ? m * . - Weekly Review or tho State Prc?. The Georgetown JVwes alludes to the recoct conservativo success in Virginia and Tennessee, and considers it a cheer? ing sign, giving promise of our own dis onthralment at no distant day. Having been .called to account by some offended office bolder in Georgetown, the Times has occasion to bring forward the maxim of Jnnius, that the liberty of the press ia the great palladium of civil, political and religious rights. The Sumter Watchman has a word to say ia condemnation of the action of the State Board of Equalization in adding to the valuation of real estate. It holds said action to be illegal and oppressive. Tho Barnwell Journal alludes to the failure of reconstruction ; and anticipates trouble in the future in this State unless matters be rectified. It sees "the shadow of an angry, cloud, and hears the low mutterings of a ooming storm." It calls for peace. The Newberry Herald calls-thus far in vain-for a local agricultural society. The Marion Crescent contains an arti? cle from the President, urging prompt action in the matter of that County's agricultural society. This is right. Let every County have its agricultural so? ciety. They are feeders to the Stato Society. The Edgefield Advertiser comments upon the result of the eleotious in Virgi? nia and Tennessee, and dissents from the policy adopted, as involving a lamentable sacrifico of principles, and as leading to what may be oalled the Mexicanizalion of the country. It is for Caucasianism, pure and unmixed, in this Government The Advertiser evidently strongly en? dorses the Piedmont Lifo Insurance Company; and commends to encourage? ment the proposed cotton seed oil mill to be located here. The Yorkville Enquirer very proporlj urged the proposed formation there of i County Agricultural Society. The Marion Star, for reasons mora aud religions, is disposed to. raise it voice against Chinese immigration, bn admits the force of many arguments ii its favor. The Keowee Courier, alluding to tb Legislative Committee of Invcstigatioi for the Third Congressional District learns that so far no evidence has bcci furnished of any system of fraud or in timidatiou. It regards the whole aila i as farcical and expensive. This commit tee has been at work since the -ith c May last, and will probably work to th next session of the Legislature. Tr ul does the Courier say, that tho per dici and mileage of the commission, th printing of the report, and the pay c "the cloud of witnesses," will foot up heavy bill against the tax-payers-a groe outrage, in truth, to be added to mau other outrages, and for which the au thors will yet be called into judgment. The Winnsboro Register, replying t our pleasantry, renews the expression c its confidence in the policy used in th late elections in Virginia and Tenncsso We shall certainly listen with respectan consideration to what we know are th honest convictions of our cotemporar Tho Charleston News reports tho fo lowing distinguished arrivals at tl: Charleston Ho'ol: "United States District Attorney Co bin. "State Senator Corbin. "Codifier of the Laws Corbin. "Charleston City Attorney Corbin. "President of the Senate Corbin." What a greedy man must this Corbi be, or how poor must tho radical bo i able men, that they find it necessary 1 impose so much work upon one mau. The Carolina Spartan, under the heat ing of "Hints to Farmers," suggests tl policy of economizing tho labor that v have, and not depending too much upc tho immigrant population of Europ As to tho question of labor, it says poiu edly and well : "Lot all go to work, and not fritt their lives away over protracted search for means of living without labor. L those who have an unmistakable calling for intellectual pursuits hearken to the yoi? e. But to those vf hose ohiof relian co isintBtir .itt&lf?t?atr, Iv. thom comptf the atti to! jfbld ita fruits, and tho ?jjarosts ita atorar Let 'them irat their bands to the plo~; and with a sturdy prido of iufepeHideiice/^grapple with the'fluty set before thom. '"Shame ia not in labor, it ia with him who eats idle bread.' Let this idea be adopted and we will have, in a great measure, a remedy for the difficulties of the labor question. Public sentiment is fast com? ing round to a morer tust appreciation, ! not"oniy ~of-the .dignity of labor,' bat of the wantpf dignity in idleness* whether it be the result of pride or laziness." The Abbeville Press, in somo remarks on the question of labor in the South, indicates its preference for the Chinese. It says: "We need labor at the South, not so much to make more cotton, rice or sugar, but to develop all of our resources, agri? cultural and material. And why may not Chinese labor be all sufficient-the best attainable, the most economical, the most skillful and effective, even in the development of oar manufactures ?" We are at a loss to discover wherein we have misrepresented the Winnsboro News. As an act, however, of fair deal? ing to which onr cotemporary seems to consider itself entitled, we publish with pleasure the following article: ??THE THIRD (CONSERVATIVE) PARTT. The existence of a third party in tho Southern States claiming attention and respect by achieving two of the most signal victories in Virginia and Tonnes see in the very start of its career, fills tho radicals with amazement and cha? grin, andseoms to puzzle the unprincipled and inconstant partisan now at the hoad of the Government so completely, that his indecision and perplexity would bo a most ridiculous farce, but for tho fact that his petty malice and perfidious falsehood and meanness may lead him to inflict upon the unfortunate but irre? pressible Southern people additional outrage and wrong. Let Grant exact the iron-clad oath, if ho please, and if he dare, of tho Virginia Legislature. It will not destroy this party. Ho could see the folly of attempting it, by simply glancing across the lino, nnd pondering the reaction in Tennessoe that has sprung of tho samo short-sighted course. This third party is destined to grow. It will gradually absorb the Democratic party within it, and infuse the vigor of its new life and progressive spirit into thateffeto organization. For if the Democratic party will heed tho counsel of John Quiucy Adams, accept uegro suffrage as something already forced upon tho coun? try, and not upon tho issues of tho pre? sent and tho futuro, it will have come up to tho position now held by the third party called at present tho Conservativo or Conservative Republican party; and unless the ballot-box be stuffed in 1872, and tho votes be couuted by tho bayonet -a result that would not surprise us at all, for thero are no constitutional rights now-it will olect its candidate for tho next Presidency by a tremendous ma? jority. .? ?Tho formation of a third party in South Carolina would be the destruction of the Republican party.' These are not our words, but a quotation from the late contributions of the Mackeys to the Charleston papers, and it is the burden of their charge that Senator Sawyer favors such a party, and is using influ? ence and patronage to create it. Bout well and Cresswell and Butler take the same view of tho matter as affecting the natiou, that the Mackeys do as affecting this State. They see that it is a party of liberal principles and progressive ideas. But their fear and their hatred cannot prevent its growth nor long postpone its triumph, for it is tho party of domestic peace and national progress, which it is tho interest of all, whether white or black, earnestly to support, since peace and progress will briug contentment, prosperity and liberty to all. This is the party for which we are willing to work." Th? better or Jmlge Dent. Our readers are aware of tho fact that Messrs. Boutwell aud Cresswell repre? sent iu Grant's Cabiuet the extreme radical sentiment of tho country. To their influenco it is feared that tho Presi? dent has yielded, judging from his in? consistent course in recently backing "the bitter-enders" in Mississippi. The lettor of Dent-tho President's brother in-law-will bo read with interest: WASHINGTON, D. C., August 17,18G9. To Hon. George S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury. Sin: I shall mako little apology for asking your attontion to my letter, and less for the nature of its contents. You woro the first to deny the political ortho? doxy of my friends and myself, and by all the rules of tho forum I am entitled to n defenco. Again, you hold an office of tho republic, and your acts, therofore, aro legitimate subjects of criticism by tho humblest citizen thereof. But in ?orno respects we aro alike. For in? stance, we are both aspirants for placo, wt h this difference: You aim to bo tho next President, with every assuranco of success, "excopt" in tho opiuion of the people. Whilo I seek an humbler placo with my hopes in disastrous eclipso, "except" ia tho judgmont of Mississippi, so in tho probable results of the future wo both stand adverse to tho judgment of tho country. In tho pursuit of your ambi? tion you aro ungrateful and unscrupu? lous as to tho means of success. Your organ, the "New York Sun," in tho same breath ridicules the capacity of your alaster, and dwells with emphasis upon your peouliar fitness for his office. Your tool, Mr. Bullock, became so reokless in tim manipulation of your department in the intorost of your ambition, and so de? fiant of the wishes of tho Prosidont and tho country, that to savo ; an explosion ot popular iud Joond it convenient toT whereas talento might be exerted wit equal effect and leas effrontery. Vir? ginia, Tennessee, Mississippi and Texas "-nit to mention anything W tMttfcble as my sol?- wer o obstructions in the way o? your success; because through President Grant's intervention in excluding the {jrosoriptivo olauses from their organic aw, these States are Drought into the Union and firmly welded to his support. Now, this is in direct conflict with lyonr systematized plans. For what General Grant gets in the next Presiden? tial election, clearly Mr. Bout well will not get, and therefore havo you de? nounced the conservative Republicans who are for Grant. That you may ob? tain the proscriptive Republicans who are for Boutwell, and by some strange, dexterous management and occult poli? tical strategy, you have so worked upon I the confidence of the President as to cause him to flourish tho club with which you intend to break his head, by in? ducing him to join you in denunciation of the conservative Repu' .icans, a party oreated by his magnanimity and tri? umphant through his encouragement. But, sir, "your purpose is easily dis? cernible, and has a two-fold object, namely, to destroy the National Repub? lican party in the South, and then to re? construct f un its shattered fragments a Boutwell party, with one Richmond in the field to strike for your crown. But if you cannot succoed in this scheme of desperate enterprise, you mean to ruin," a result, from present appearances, much more likely to bo roached. Your official intervention for W?lls, for instance, gave 30,000 majority to Walkor. Your letter to Stokes gave Senter Tennessee by an overwhelming vote of 70,000. Your marvelous politi? cal sagacity now active in Mississippi and Texas will repeat your calamity, and again overwhelm you with discomfiture and defeat. Super-add to these results of your unapproachable folly tho impo? sition on these States of your iron-o lad oath, and tho alienation is complete, landing them all in the outstretched arms of Democracy. But the consequence of your folly does not stop here-Ohio and Pennsyl? vania and others will follow. Decido thoir political status in October, and tho North will echo back the condemnation of tho South, and peal in your ears this fact, that thero is still loft enough of thc incorruptible virtue of tho republic to rebuko you for a wanton repression of that most sacred right-tho electivo fran? chise. But, sir, this will not deter you from your mad course; you will still per? sist until every prop that supports our party is stricken away, and the whole grand superstructure tumbles about our ears in hopeless ruin. When you were appointed Secretary of tho Treasury .?.ud unanimously confirmed by a Seuaio of every shade of political opinion, did you take an oath to admi? nister your office impartially and for the exclusive objects of its creation, "to col? lect tho revenue and control the finances of tho country?" Is not that office tho property of the nation, and yourself only clothed for a time with a little briof au? thority? Then, Bir, how do yon explain this perversion of its legitimate uses and functions into a means and instrument of oppression to force and compel an election of obnoxious rulers upon the people of tho South? Is such a course consistent with your oath of office, or do Sui call this a great moral idea? But, r. Boutwell, though you have thus prostituted the power of your office for purposes of oppression, "without the warrant of conscience or law," it may be that you can tell me by what authority you assume to pronounce upon my po? litical orthodoxy. Who constituted you tho infallible hope of Republicanism? Who gavo you authority to hurl ?.he political anathemas of the party? Again, what right had you to commit thc admi? nistration to your policy? Have you to learn yet that you aro only a part of tho administration, and not the wholo of it? though your friends believe that a mono? mania bas soizod your mind on that sub? ject, and that you verily believe yourself "tho State." Very respectfully, LOUIS DENT. EXPRESS ROBBERY-ONE THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTY-NINE Don IiABS SXOLEN.-On tho night of Monday last, l?th inst., the depot of the Lau? rens Railroad, at this place, was entered, and tho safe belonging to tho Southern Express Company taken to a car, some distance off, where it was broken and robbed of SI,889.

RECEIPTS OF NEW COTTON.-The re? ceipts of new cotton, thus far this far this season, at all the shipping ports os advised by m nil accounts, foot up forty six bales, being considerably less than the receipts at the same timo last year, showing that the present crop is at least two or three weeks later than tho pre? vious one.

AVERAGING EXPENSES.-We copy tho following sensible article from the Balti? more Sun : "It is very seldom that any business can bo counted upon as sure to yield a largo and constant income. There are many chances aud casualties in trade and business which cannot be foreseen. He is a fortunato man, indeed, whatever his calling, who does not find himself, sooner or later, going 'out of fashion.' The new comer, or moro dashing, inge? nious or wily competitor, will sometimes distnnco au old public favorite. Or a successful man may bo spoiled by suc? cess, and spoil his own business by ne? glect or ovor-coufidonce in his reputa? tion. For these and many other reasons, it should bo tho effort of every man to become independent of his business. Wo mean that ho should place a part, however small, of his earuings in some description of investment, which shall bo secure from tho chances which affect his regular calling. To do this ho should tax, not his busiuess moans, but his per? sonal vanity, and bo content to creep, as tho phrase goes, beforo ho attempts to walk; and to walk boforo bc essays to run. There is many a man who looks back ou tho carolcss oxpendituro of past years with regret, but who might now be assisted by the interest of his prosper? ous acquisitions, if he had funded, in? stead of spending his money for tempo? rary gratification. Workingmen, whilo in tho prime of their strength and man? hood, and in the receipt of liberal wages, might securo themselves not only against tho distant day of old ago, but also against much of tho inconvenience of dull times, of sickness, or of forced in? activity from any other can".o. Whoever will mako a firm rule, and abido by it, always to live within his income, is on thc safe road to competence, if not to wealth."

A NEW DAILY IN CHARLESTON.-We have received a copy of the Daily Re? publican, which made its first appearance in Charleston on the 19th instant.
