I ^Ok?MBIA, S. C. ? > Tuesday Morning, Sept. 7, 1869. [' Hay* Shall Ul? Aspirations of Ul? Sont Il? tur st licett be llcallx.Ul j To iEoeas, amid Ibo llames of barning Troy, the thought Suggested itself that it was glorious to die ia arms. This was the natural sentiment of tho p?triot who MW that he had a country no longer, and that, therefore, he desired no longer to live. But thora came, to the Tr.oiau a sober second thought, and be resolved to " gather w^at he could 'of the fragments o^lWoouutry.and^ new Troy . in another land'. ?i?cl th? poetical fiction narrates how in thia way .?Eneas reached the Italian shores arni founded the mighty Borneo Empire which was deem? ed Troy revived. Such a spirit doea it become as 6$J?s*,Sdttth to imitate? such A resolution does it becomo us to make ?although in OUT caso no expatriation is necessary. * ' ' - * The South becomes involved in a gi gantic struggle-abo fights as few people ever before fought-she suffers us few .people eyer1 before suffered. Neither the matchless devotion cf her women nor. t h e. n oblo heroism of her men avails any? thing.- y She gives np her cause at Ap? pomattox. She emerges from the, strug? gle in grief for her. noble spirits fallen; in battle, and in distress because of - burnt ci ties, and fields ravaged, and in? dustries paralyzed. She stands os stands tho ship at seo after a fierce tempest has left her almost a wreck. Despair seizes apon; some Southern hearts and they seek their fortunes in other lands, self exiled. But not. 80 with the great mass of the Southern people. These deter? mine not to give ap the land they love. These bravely resolve "heart within and God overhead" to retrieve their fortunes. These grandly will it, that even whore Troy was they will build up another Troy surpassing the old. And this, wo take it is, th? aspiration-is the resol ve of the genuino Southern soul. To make the South again prosper?os, happy, in? fluential, respected, independent-no nobler work than this can suggest itself to the patriot-heart here. For this one might willingly die; but for this it is better for one usefully, and honorably, and effectually to live. And now we come, naturally and logi? cally, to tho question proposed in our editorial heading, viz.: "How S'hall the Aspirations of the Southern Heart be Re? alized ?" We answer, by a wise political course, and by a steady industrial de? velopment. We regard politics as tho means whereby the prosperity of States is secured. It is a practical thing, and means not only principles bat business. It is the duty of the legislator not sim? ply to declare the correct principles that .should be carried out in the administra? tion of pnblio affairs, bnt he should pro? vide the solid means to make those prin? ciples effective. Not by rhetoric, not by logio alone, can the rights of States be seoured. Around our political ground solid muniments mast be thrown up such muniments ns wealth and numbers, and activity and intelligence in the peo? ple, provide. In oar opinion, then, a wise political coarse at the Sonth con? sists in her adhering to those political convictions which lier intelligence ap? proves; and at the same time making her politics practical and promotive of her material interests. But to make her politics Buch, she must get power; and ?to get power, she mast acquire wealth; ?md to get wealth, she must secare a full development of her resources, varied as ithey may be and arc,. Thus, after all, 'the answer to our question is in a nut? shell. . The aspirations of the Southern beartar?tobe realized by WORK. Out of Southern soil, out of Southern metals, out of Southern wood, out of Southern fabrics, brought: out by in tel li gen co, zeal and activity, mast como the sceptro ol .our restored powor. With UH- "to labor is to pray.". And in spite of the politi? cal incubas that rests upon the South, it is in hor power to pass with triumph through the ordeal of her woes, and tc plant herself upon the solid ground of n substantial prosperity. That impetuous spirit that rallied her sons under theil chosen banner; that perseverance thal grew not faint in the Wilderness; thal fiery valor that charged tho heights oj Gettysburg; that sublime resolve thal kept up her flag amid the ruins of Sum ter: these qualities, that show a bravo, high-spirited race, still animate thc South. And When these energies seek r peaceful channel, as they now do, wh< can doubt the resnlt? Let no man, then .despair of our future. Tt is within th? scope of our moans to secure tho realiza tion of our just aspirations. --.-*?-.

You ask, "what say our Lexington friends?". -Wo pronounce the whole j paragraph- malininnnlj".JaIsa, .and AU nupardonably wicked attempt to slander the good citizons of Lexington. "The paragraph in question bears upon its face tho evidence of its writer's being wholly unacquainted with tho peoplo whose reputation he so unwarrantably attempts to defame. If some freedmen of this County have no written contracts, it ls because they J ref used to bo thus bound, and preferred" to work without a contract in writing, so that they.could leave when it might suit their convenience, or whenever they might beoomo too lazy to work. ; The only ".systematic attempt to de? fraud," known' to tho citizens pf''?this County, ?B the ?pr?sent State government, which, not satisfied with the spoils of o Oleo, would rob the good peoplo of the State of their fair fame also. The business firm, of lt. K. Scott & Co. certainly displays greater energy than any wholesale house in this State. His drummers, tho State Constabulary, are sent out in every direction to collect material tobe manufactured into election yarns by Northern printing presses, or to be used as fuel to increase the already too violent feelings entertained towards the Southern peoplo. This firm, with its numerous clerks and drummers, cares nothing for its own reputation or that of the people of "onr dear State," unless it increases tho general stock of tho company, or aids in keeping the lucky gooso in the cm ?ches of Northern carpet-baggers and Southern scalawags. The citizens of Lexington are, however, too well known to be injured by the vile shafts of R. K. Soott's chief clerk, Hub? bard, or any of the inferior drummers who do his biddiugs. Wo challenge tho "great calumniator" himself, the State Constabulary, or any other set of defamers, to establish the chargo of any "systematic attempt" on tho part of the good people of Lexington, to do ought save their dutj'. Wo know of a systematic effort to root ont radical? ism and the present rotten State govern? ment; and wo honestly believe that tho fact of Lexington's being so thoroughly Democratic, had not a little to do with this slanderous statemont. Imagino theso drumming constables, traveling through this County, so nearly ruined by Sherman, so blessed (!) in having a Boozer and a Cori ey, and yet so true to the principles of Democracy as to have forever removed, at thc late election, the louvea and fishes from the too willinggrasp of hungry radicals. Imagine their spleen as they meditated on these sad troths; as they thought of the hundreds of carcases which the people of this County offered in the good euuse during the lost cam? paign; as they remembered the Demo? cratic barbecues, pie-nics, ?fcc, and you will agrco with us that there was need of an overflow of gall, some vent to their spleen, and some expression of the malice which they bear this County; and you will find, too, in theso things, an expla? nation of tho ".systematic attempt to de? fraud." We fear the censure and love thc praise of all good and true men; but wo would shun tho approval of these would be citizens, and welcome their reproaches as an evidence of thc unswerving integ? rity of our poopho. But enough. "No might nor greatness in mortality Gan censare 'ucapo; baclc-w?unuing calumny The whitest virtue strikes; what King "so strong, Can tic tho gail up in thc slanderous tongue" LEXINGTON.

The New York Herald anya: "Still an? other third party notion has just been aired in South Carolina, which is dc scribed ..s a cry to t'ic Democrats of that State to i'c-. rg-riizc as a'conservativo Republican party, so that'tbe'virttfe of Carolina may bo introduced into tho Republican ranks and fright away with tho dignity of purity its elements of weakness and vice.'

The South Carolina Democrats are as likely to affiliate with the imps of dark? liest us thoy are with those other dark minded imps, tho Northern Sepnblicau party, tho after-birth of tho vicions and hated abolition party' of old times. Therefore, that third party plau may bo considered as blown to thc winds." The Uuionvillo Times says: "In our State canvass, we beg the PHO-NIX and the Charleston News to lot alone such barren questions as freo trade, protective tariffs and uniform currency. Let them alone until our greatest evil is removed." We reply that tho Charleston News hos novor attempted to make those questions the turning point in our State oanvass.

Resolved, Therefore, that every effort should be made by tho mercantile com inanity of every State to resuscitate and develop the languishing interests of any portion of tho country which may tem? porarily droop, and that, knowing no sectional division, we bold out the hand of brotherhood to every ?mericau, in tho hopo that wiso efforts to benefit our common country moy cement affections and blot out tho differences of thc past. Resolved, That we will extend the hos? pitality of Louisville to the strangers who may como nmongst us to aid iu the good work, and nothing shall bo left un douo to impress thom with a heurtfelt, cordial, Kentucky welcome. Resolved, That tho delegates from Louisvillo to thc lato Memphis conven? tion aro entitled to our hearty thanks for tho able and judicious manner in which they discharged their duty, and sought to advance thc material interests of thc city and State, and that we hereby assure them of our continued appreciation of their energy and public spirit. Resolved, That we will co-operato zeal? ously with tho Committee of Arrange? ments and any auxiliary committees to insure the complete success of tho con? vention and thc comfort and enjoyment of tho delegates and strangers who may come amongst us. ?????-? The following distinguished notice of the proprietor of tho PHOENIX is copied from the Charleston Courier: "The press ball nt thc White Sulphur Springs, iu Virginia, was a most brilliant affair, and we are glad to learn that thc old Palmetto Stato was represented. Among them was Gen. Gary, and Julian A. Selby, a distant connection of Cad? mus, the Phoenician, who, it is said, was tho first gentleman engaged in the print? er's and editor's trade. "Wo have never had tho pleasuro of seeing the aforenamed Phoenician dance, (Selby we mean, not Cadmus,) but should say, that once he put his foot in it, ho would perform pretty largely." The Proof Sheet (newspaper) prints the following for the alleged benefit of its cotemporaries: "Waeted, for local itoms-a word to take thc place of 'Alleged,' which is overworn. Steady employment guaran? teed. Address any first class newspa? pers, afraid of libel suits." BE BEAUTIFUL..-If you desire beauty yon should use Hagan's Magnolia Balm. It gives a soft, refined, satin-like tex? ture to the Complexion, removes Rough? ness, Redness, Blotches, Sunburn, Tan, Ac, and adds a tinge of Pearly Bloom to tho plainest features. It brings the Bloom of Youth to the fading cheek and changes the rustic Country Girl into a Fashionable City Bello. In the uso of the Magnolia Balm lies tho true secret of Beauty. No Lady noed complain of her Complexion who will invest 75 cents in this delightful article. Lyon's Kathairon is tho best hair dressing in uso. S4^13 "Where is Drake S. T. 1860 X?" Wc have heard this question.asked many times, and for all we know fora year past ho might bc dead. Recently, in Now York, wo called ut his Laboratory in Liberty street, and there found this gen? tleman barricaded behind a tremendous pile of boxes, distributing funds to a Sunday School Committee. Our busi? ness was to secure an advertisement. He said: "My dear sir, what is tho asa of advertising tho Plantation Bitters? They sell better now than when I advertised at such enormous expense, and now I have not made a contract for a year. I have all this amount to give to lue poor. To satisfy tho press, however, who have always been my friends, I think I will give you a little something to do again, for I have improved tho Bitters greatly, and it may bo well to havo yon let tho people know it." And so he ran on in a happy, cordial, appreciative manner, showing us tho wonders of his place and tho cords of certificates. Everything is on a magnificent scale, and is done with neatness and promptness. While there we saw at least forty orders come in for these celebrated Bitters. Cases were be? ing shipped to the four corners of tho world. Drake is not dead, nor his Bit? ters either.-Exchange paper. MAGNOLIA WATKB.-Superior to the best imported German Cologne, and sold at half the price. S4?3 ?oMaaannrMnmr-r.---r-rr-: Th? AD del eon Intelligencer denies in toto the truth of the rumors current in radical oirolee to the effect that an out? break ?B fenr?^iultod?Mpn CttBUty. fhe Intelligencer says^f & '.? So far aa w?,Tpan aaj?ertaio, the ?tata Upon which ibo despatch, was predicated are aim ply as follow?: Two young men who were KU m moued beforo the coolant teo refused to .>!>.?wer questions pro ipottwpbad to them by a colored member, and, perhaps, used denunciatory lan? guage conoerning the radical party. In addition to this terrible offence against the self-importance of these radical worthies, several indiscreet youths on a certain night badly frightened the Chair? man, Joe Crews, by their conversation upon the hotel piazza in his presonce, indulging in abuse of radicals generally, and otherwise showing their contempt of him and his party. lu neither instance was there any indication of violont con? duct beyond mere words. While not pretending to uphold either party in the course pursued, we submit that auy sensible man would have paid no otten I tiou whatever to these ebuiitions' of youthful passion. But the craven spirit of Joe Crews foresaw any amount of trouble, and forthwith demands at the hands of the Governor a posse of the j State constabulary to prevent an out? break! and His Excellency, with com? mendable zeal in answering tho require? ments of his pliant tool, orders a detach? ment without delay to the scene of action! What an unmitigated farce! Three or four constables reached this place On Wednesday evening, oiid re? mained until the Committee left on Saturday morning. These aro all the facts we have been able to gather after diligent inquiry. There was no need of the constabulary, although Crews sought to make uso of thom iu Borvirig warrants issued by one of our magistrates, who informed the immaculate Joseph that tho Sheriff and his deputies were competent to arrest ?ny and every man in Anderson County. Wo can assure Governor Scott that thero has beeu no breach of the peace and no disturbance of any kind bryond what is stated, unless we except the bow? lings of drunken negroes nearly every night during tho presence of the com? mittee here. Whether this was caused by the low associations of the negroes during that period, we are not prepared to say. But oue thing is certain, that class of our population have returned to their wonted exemplary conduct, aud we hope will continue to manifest a due regard for sobriety aud peaceable be? havior. lu conclusion, wo wish to remind the Governor that this is not the first time tho people of Anderson have been slan? dered and misrepresented. Hitherto these calumniations have been borne pa? tiently, but forbearance sometimes ceases to bo a virtue. We make no threats, and are determined to raise our voice at all times for the preservation of peace and good order. Yet it does seem to ns that Governor Scott and his coadjutors have sought to sow the wind of discord in oar midst, and bestir our people to frenzy aud desperation. Persisting in such a course, they will assuredly reap the whirl? wind. SUALL WE HEEP CUBA?-The New York Sun, reviewing the situation in Spain and Cuba, sums up as follows: I. It is right for us to uid the Cubans, because they are trying to freo them? selves from the oppression of a distant, alien, European monarchy, and to assert the American principle of tho right of self-government. II. It is right to help them, because they are fighting to abolish slavery and tho African slave trade, and to establish human rights in place of the infernal attrocities and wrongs of tho slave sys? tem. III. It is right to help them to estab? lish a republic in Cuba, because wo also obtained help from abroad in the hour of our struggle. That fact imposes upon us an obligation to lend our own aid to a neighboring people fighting like the men of Cuba to realize for themselves the benefits of Republican independence and Democratic self-government. IV. It is politic to help the Cubans. Cuba belongs, by her geographical posi? tion, to the political system of the United States. For half a century our states? men have perceived and have maintain? ed that we eaunot permit that she should pass into the bauds of any other power. Indeed, she is destined to become a part of tho American Union. This being so, ought wo to stand lazily and cowardly bj! ?KU? see her devastated by a civil war which wo can arrest with ti word? Ought we to consent that she should ho made a desert, that all thc work of modern civilization shall be annihilated on her plains and hillsides, as a preliminary to her annexation? We can't see it. On the controry, it is om duty rather to protect her against thc useless barbarism of her enemies, to avert tho further destruction of her homes, her mills, her plantations, and tc bid tho ferocious Spauiard depart from her shores with the whips and fetters ol his slaves, and all the apparatus of hit odions and intolerable tyranny: Hei sons havo proved that their antagonists cannot conquer them; and overy consi? deration that should influence statesmen having sense and courage enough foi their situation, requires that tho Govern? ment of the United States should deci? sively interfere to stop civil war in Cuba, ?md maintain the rights of her peoph without any longer delay. ABMS TORTHENEOBO MILITIA.-Depu ty Constable Kennedy arrived in Ham burg a few days since, with his quota ol arms for Scott's negro militia at thal point. Tho Augusta Constitutionalist un derstands that about forty Wiuchestei rifles-sixteen shooters-have been dis tributed, and that night drills are nov tho sensation among Scott's brave wooly heads, whom he thinks can be educated to "fight nobly" against the good ordei and peace of the State.

TUE CALUMNY ANSWERED.-','Lexiog ton" baa responded to our suggestion, and, as wo expected, boldly challenges the constabulary reporter to make good his statement. If there bo any law abiding people in the State, we should expect to find them in Lexington. If, however, "loyalty" means fidelity to ra? dicalism, these people are most disloyal, aud long may they be so. A CAUTION.-We notice that some of our merchants are proposing to buy cot? ton in the seed. As this offers a great temptation to steal cotton, it is but duo to cotton farmers and planters in this vicinity that the utmost caution be used, lest the buyer Hud himself unwittingly receiving stolen property. With our high-minded merchants, however, we feel that this hint is hardly necessary. I Wo have received the catalogue of the i Duo West Female College, which seems I to be in a nourishing condition. The fol? lowing constitute the Faculty: Itev. J. I. Bonner, President and Professor of Men? tal and Moral Science; J. P. Kennedy, A. M., Professor of Latin aud History; Miss E. McQuerns, Teacher of Botuny and Oruamentul Branches; Miss A. J. Nixon, Teacher of Mathematics and French; Miss A. L. Morse. Teacher of Instrumental Music; Mrs. Belle Martin, Principal Primary Department. THE FALL TRADE-OUR MERCHANTS READY-A WORD EOE THEM AND ONE FOE OURSELVES.-We desire to say a word in [ behalf of thc interests of our merchant? j aud business men generally. We feel I justified in saying there will bc rare in j ducements offered to buyers. The bnsi uess men generally of Columbia have come to tho conclusion thut they must invite trade to this point to build up our j city, and at the same timo to build up themselves. And they are aware that, in order to do so, they must have good stocks aud reasonable prices. Our cot? ton-buyers are already in the field ready to give the highest market prices, and in the line of groceries, dry goods, clothing, .shoes, crockery, iron, wood and tin ware, books and stationery, ?fcc, the Columbia merchants will be found to offer as good bargains as can elsewhere be obtained. Tho only danger that we see is that our merchants may lose by not advertising their goods. Our columns are open tc them, and for our benefit as well at their's, and our reader's benefit, we hope they will not be slow to try what virtue there is in a liberal system of adver? tising. MECHANICAL DEPARTMENT.-It gives u.< pleasure to remind our country friendi that Columbia now presents advantage! in this department of which it would b< well for them to avail themselves. Oui industrious friend Morris furnishes a gil which will compare most favorably witt any of tho imported kind, and at i cheaper rat?. He deserves the encour agemcnt which wo are glad lo learn heil receiving. Mr. Wing, at his Steam Planing Mill will furnish yon with doors, sashes blinds, mouldings, ana everything ii that linc Mr. Tozer will build yuii an eugine and furnish ?my thing in tho linc of iroi and brass, whUsfcMessrs. Shields ifc Glaze Goldsmith & Kind, and Alexander, havi iron foundries, wh?ro work in that do partment will bo executed both well an< reasonably, Soon, too, wo expect ti have hero a cotton seed oil mill, whicl will press your cotton seed and rctun j-ou a cake which, it is claimed, will, ii n measure, take tho place of corn in th feeding of your stock. And other facili ties which thc city affords we might de tail, but enough for thc present. Ono thing, however, wo should have and not wait for Mr. Sprague to estai lish it, and that is a cotton factory and paper mill. Who will niovo in thi mutter? If individual enterprise cannot accom pliBh it, co-oporativo action certainl can. As Horace Grooley advises, let n speed "tho spindles." If Columbia is to improve rapidly, i she desires to catch the progressive spiri of the times, let her citizens uuderstau that they mnst show a spirit of publi enterprise and increase the hum of mr chinery. ______ /' AUCTION BAL??'^-The Sheriff1 dispoltd of the following property, yesterday, at auction-Messrs. D. C. Peixotto & Son, auctioneers- belonging to John H.

Their gin is driven by a most beautiful six horse power stenm engine, manufactured in this city by Mr. Tozer, and is capable of running two sixty-saw gins, if nccossary. This engine has been in active operation for some months past, having propelled a threshing ma? chino, which has threshed about 8,000 bushols of wheat during the season. The first cotton ginned and baled by these gentlemen, was raised on the farm of Hart Maxcy, Esq., by two freedmen. Richard Wilson and Joseph Taylor, and sold to James S. Chambers, at 32 cents per pound. HOTEL A KHIVA LS, September 5-Co? lumbia Hotel.-A. M. Kirkland, S. G.; T. L. Starke, C. C. Radcliffe, W. H. Merti shaw, city; F. E. Shandrens, Milwaukie, Wis.; E. B.
