COLUMBIA, S,.a l( ; ? ? ? i. ?? ?. i ? 8?tnxday Morning, September 25,1869. HONEST AND PATRIOTIC-BT RESOLU? TION.-It iiae been unanimously resol vea, at a meeting in Glassy Mountain Town? ship, County of Greenville, "That we do not claim por foot ion for all the legislation of the present General j Assembly; we do recognise the fact that honesty of purpose and tone patriotism inspire a largo majority of those mom bats-therefore, we believe them to be entitled to the confidence of the people." It ie, therefore, decided by r?solution that a majority of the present Legisla? ture are honest and patriotic-why not have resolved that all are? The Yorkville Enquirer thinks that, give radicalism rope and it will hang it? self soon. Bat wo throw ont the sug? gestion that to pnll at one end of the rope would perhaps' hasten the process. The Union Times freely acknowledges that tho measures proposed by the meet? ing of citizens, held at that place, on sales-day last, have not received that sup? port from other - section s o' the State which were necessary to their successful accomplishment. 1 It adds: "Union, therefore? will probably take no fur th or steps in the matter, and here it will drop."' PBICE OF COTTON.-The declino of cot? ton from 85 cents down, is a oause of griovnnce. In 1867, cotton went from 27 cents in July to 12>? cents in Decem? ber. The remnant of ' the same crop wont to 28 and 80 cents, the following April. In 1868, the market opened nt 28 cents, and in fifteen days went down to 20, and a good deal sold for less. Tho Columbus (Ga.) Sun advises Southern planters, after meeting their obligations, to hold their crop at 30 cents, though it expects to see a fall in the New York market to 24 cents. We have received from a gentleman at Pomada, S. C., tho following communi? cation, dated September 21, 1869. Tho friends of the Rev. Mr. Boinest, so well and favorably known as the energetic President of the Newberry Immigration Society, will' learn with pain of the loss he has sustained, and the sympathy of his friends will be the stronger if, as our correspondent suggests, his loss was the result of some ill-will, engendered against him because of his patriotic efforts to in? troduce immigrants into the State. The following is the communication referred to: "Our mutual friend, Rev. Mr. Boinest, reached here this a. m., from Charleston; and imagine his feelings when informed by Bachman, at the depot, that his gin and cow houses were observed on fire, near daylight, this morning. Three bales of cotton, in the seed, the seed of two others, Gullet's gin, thresher and horse power, wagon, wheat straw, belting, Seo., were consumed. Loss not loss than 81,200. "Mr. Boinest has bcou one of thc primo movers in the introduction of im-, migrants, and from this fact his wifo has frequently expressed her fears of tho torch. "How sad 1 We know not what is go? ing on, or plots laid for rendering us homeless, when in our beds of rest." DEAD VS. LIVE ISSUES.-The New York Express gives some valuable in? struction to the Democracy on dead issues. It declares that while many of Jefferson's measures have become obso? lete, his cardinal principles still live. Having buried the dead, our contempo? rary gives the following summary of what it regards as the main questions that should now occupy the publio atten? tion. "But what are live issues," it says, "are the inequality of the taxes, the severity of the taxes-the unwisdom of the tax legislation, their oppressive, injurious oharaoter, tho destruction they have already created to our commerce, and the damage they have inflicted upon onr manufacturing interest, in shutting it out from the markets of the world." These are things which really concern the people, and to which they desire legislators to turn their attention. The Express tenders to tho Democracy this significant advice: "The fact is," says that paper, "we are full of live issues, of great importance to the country, and tho quicker we drop all dead ones the better. There is no use in trying to race with dead horses. When things die, bury them, though nevor, never, never bury great principles, for in them there is eternal resurrection." True to the letter. MOB LAW.-The presence of a prosti? tute becoming objectionable to the peo? ple of North Kingsville, Ashtabula Coun? ty, Ohio, tho o thor day, thoy compelled her and a malo companion to undress, and then applied to them a coat of tar, chaff and gravel, and paraded them around the town, and left them outs ido its limits. Very virtuous, iudeed, is the town of North Kingsville! The Dutch colonists of Batavia aro said to bo disaffected, and ready to be annexed either to England or tho United States. What a pity Mr. Seward has loft the State Department! -- Tte* camp?!*;* tm MU?t-Ippl-Sptech of P&VP ior M??is8i|j? tfpeneAajf Corinth* oa^turdaju bj echas freon Jadm DibtApoL ?ge, ?nd 0en* RoWtfLo?B .tjr^iTOgo-?mt 6oQtnrenf3ed by saying there were two parties at present in Mis? sissippi, one was known as the "Bitter? enders," or extremists, the other as the National Republican Union party. To the latter he belonged, and from that ?' arty he had received the distinguished on or ofbfcingplacednt the head of the ticket, and been chosen their standard bearer in the'present campaign. The ono party, led by Tarbell, Ames, Alcorn ? Co., wanted to disfranchise the white people, while the party he belonged to were in favor of universal suffrage and amnesty. Addressing the colored peo? ple, about 150 of whom were present, he said he would urge them, in the strong? est terms, not to be antagonistic to the Eeople of the South, among whom they ad been raised. He assured them the Southern mon loved them, and would protect them in their rights better than any stranger could do. He said many white men who came from the North were constantly contending that it was through their efforts tho colored race had procured its freedom. Such was not the fact, as Gen. Grant and many other distinguished soldiers and statesmen had declared that it was only a circumstance of war; that it was never intended to give the colored man his freedom, until it became a war of necessity; neither was it intended to give them the right to vote, until it became a political necessity in the work of reconstruction. Ho con? tended that they need not thank the peo? ple of the North for the right and privi? leges they enjoyed. He urged them to beware of the party of which Tarbell, Gen. Ames, Alcorn Sc Co. are the lead? ers; but to join their fortunes with true Southern mon, who would protect them in their rights. It was only by doing so that their race could be perpetnated. If they failed to join those who loved and really understood them, they would drift away like the Indian to the frontier of civilization, and in a few years entirely disappear. All Ames, Tarbell & Co. wanted was office; that was all their pre? tended patriotism consisted of. Aftor they got ali they wanted, through the votes of the colored men, they would torn around and mock at their calamity. Thby belonged to the proscriptiouists and would deprivo them of all the rights if it would servo their purpose. There? fore, he urged them to sapport those who would protect them in tbeir rights. Ho closed his address by calling upon those assembled to support the men who were in favor of ponce throughout Mis? sissippi and thc entire country, and who were in favor of equal rights to all. Rest for the Weary. The Nickerson Honse, in Columbia, S. C., is too favorably known to tho public, to need any puffing. The beautiful yard, the quiet order that prevails, nice, clean rooms, make it ono of the most desirable places for weary, tired travelers to rest at. The fare is good and servants atten? tive. It is worthy of the name Nickor son, who has made himself celebrated in the hotel line-who now has one of the best and most elegant hotels in Savan? nah-tho Scroven House. Tho right man in the Wright place has the Nicker? son House. Call and see. AUGUSTA. Caisar Gurley, an aged and respectable colored man, who has resided in Colum? bia for many years, ventilates himself thusly : I have no fault against the aristocrati cal people. I take no claim with any party, either Republican or Democratic; my claim is the people at large; it is the poor that I cling to; my remarks are for no ill-feeling or ill-will; the great indus? try is between tho rich and poor man; I believe the rich man is just as indus? trious as the laboring man; when the rich man places his five cents agaiust the laborer's bono and sinew, let him sharo with him equal; I say this to my own people of tho South-not to auy one who came across Mason and Dixon's liuo. In regard to the people, I feel that the peoplo of the South shonld hold office as well as the people of the North; if you take into consideration you seo that we can livo together without ill-feeling or ill-will. I did not ask tho advice of any person, but it is just my own feelings; I am ono who was born and raised in the South, and I love my people of the South ; I want the voice of my own peoplo as well as of thc people that now hold of? fices; I am not craving riches, but only wish to God that I was able to assist the people who now stand in need. I must say that tho people of the South were cultivated behind the letters, and the laborers was cultivated in tho soil, to make great luxuries for them. Please, if I givo any offence to the peoplo of the South at large, I beg them to excuse me. I thought it proper to hove my conversation with my own people in the South-the laborer and the mechanics. This groat speculation is on the laborer and mechanic. I hope tho people at largo will try to put a stop to that specu? lation. I do this because I have planted largely myself this year; because I seo the disadvantage to tho laborer. I have no more to say, but remain, respectfully yours, CAESAR GURLY. COLUMBIA, September 23, 1869. Rhoades Rankin, of Riploy County, Ind., was killed near Rolla, Mo., on the 15th, while attempting to get on a train of ears while in motion. He was a strong temperance man, bot had lately fallen from grace, and was under the intlu euco of liquor at the time tho accident occurred. "William Crafts, colored, who kicked up such an excitement as a fugitive slave in Boston some years ago, after a long residoncoiu London, bas returned to this I country to run for Congress. We should make nolktt?tfpvto close tbe Soatbera ports o? the United States, /or thone States are under tho military yoke of the Government, and are ready and anxious to shake off that authority. Who can tell how far this hatred of ' tiH North-would take them in case of an op? portunity like this? We are in posses? sion of thousands of letters from promi? nent Southern people, who express a de? sire for Buch an opportunity as this presents to declare again their inde? pendence. Let them suffer and groan under the brutal oppression which the Yankees have placed over them, while we keep our glance concentrated in a military line stretching from Philadel? phia to the furthest North. Making the i nco nt es tab fe assertion that our grand iron-clads have no equals in the United States, we would locate two of them at the mouth of the Dela? ware, if only out of respect to the fleet of American iron-clads at Philadelphia. These two iron-clads, assisted by one wooden Vessel and three side-wheel steamers, would make an effective block? ade of Philadelphia, because there is not in the American navy anything able to cope with such a Spanish fleet. That Sower which strikes first strikes with oublo effect, and we are to-day in a place to give the first blow. To blockade New York effectually we would employ eight or nine of our ves? sels of war, namely, ono iron-clad, three Hide-wheel steamers, and three or four schooners. This would be a deadly blow to tho United States, striking it in ita vitul centre. By such n proceeding wc could compel the United States, in two months, to humiliate itself, nnd beg for peace. Boston also must be blockaded. It is tho store-house of European commerce, and the great city of the Northern re? public. Another iron-clad, three side wheel steamers and two or three sloops would be sufficient to close that port. * As tho United States has somo navy yards and arsenals, it wonld bo advisable to destroy them. With four frigates, two of them iron-clads, that work could bc accomplished. These same vessels, while employed in blockading tho ports, could prevent any departure of expeditions for Cnba. The United States is a nation of bavants, (boasters,) and nothing is easier than to learn all their intentions. It will then be seen, as the Cronista has shown, that Spain, with twenty eight of her seventy-one vessels of war, has a fleet powerful enough to humiliate this nation, while the remainder of our vessels could be employed nt home, in Cuba, and elsewhere among oar posses? sions. Making all due allowance for the naval strength of the United States, what is there to deter us from beginning a war against her immediately? The commerce of Spain might suffer some, we confess; but that of the United States, which is immense, would bo utterly ruiued. The American prose calls for tue acknowledg? ment of the independence of Cuba, or, in other words, demands that the admi? nistration rob Spain of that island. The public meetings culled to discuss this subject adopt that principle, and the Government appears inclined to gratify these'barbarous people. They provoke us to war! Then let it be wari For ourselves, we offer all we are and all we have, our printing estab? lishment and its effects, to sustain such a war, and our persons we offer as volun? teers. Viva Espa?a, and onward to tear. A FEMALE ATHLETE WINS Two PHIZES AND TAKES THE BELT.-A short time ago a number of the young people io the neighborhood of Dorchester, Mass., im? provised a jumping match for a small parse between Mike Flynn and a you nc mau named Murphy. In this match, Murphy was badly worsted; whereupon his sister Kate, a bright, strong and sprightly girl of twenty summers, be? came very indignant, and gave out to her companions that she could out-jump Mike Flynn, if her brother could not. Katie became very earnest in her nssevo rations, and to satisfy her a match was made for a purse of $75; and, greatly to tho surprise of her friends, when the match came off, she won it. This great? ly shamed Flynn and his friends, so Miss Kate was challenged to another contest, for $200 a side, some days after. The affair attracted quite a crowd to witness the sport, not less than 400 people beiug present. Kate made her appearance, dressed in flowing red flannel drawers, a la bloom? er, with merino shirt, and a pair of pret? ty gaiters tightly laced to her feet. Mr. Flynn was dressed nearly in the same manner. The arrangements being all completed, tho exercises began, Flynn leading off with n leap of 10 feet 2 inches. Katie then took her position, cheered on by her friends, and made the leap, clear? ing a distance of 10 feet ?}? inches. This created great excitement in the crowd, and nerved up Kate for some? thing better. The second loap was called for, when Flynn cleared 10 feet 7 inches. This was a very long jump, and tho Flynn party felt greatly encouraged. But Katie was again introduced, her friends cheer? ing, and feeling confident that she would beat. Carefully she placed her little gaiter-boots on tho line, and straining every muscle in her well-knit frame, made the leap, clearing 10 feet 9?? inch? es. This was too much for her competi? tor, and amid the plaudits of the wholo company, Katie retired with her purse of $400. An American lady, who has been-mak? ing an extensive tour of Europe, writes that in all her journeyings on the conti? nent she has seen but one "colored per son," and he belonged to an American family traveling there.

"Then complain to Shah." "He is your elder brother and Prime Minister. "Then go to ihe Pawer regions!" exclaimed the Governor, in a passion. "Alas! your pious father is dead," retorted the shop-keeper. How M RN BECOME DRUNKARDS.-In the Probe, published at the Sanitarium for Inebriates, Media, Pa., some new facts with regard to the causes of ine? briety arc noted. One-third of the whole number of patients in the institu? tion acquired a tasto for strong drink in the social circle; the other two-thirds became drunkards from constitutional tendencies, inducing insanity iu somo, and reckless disregard of moral obliga? tions in others. Of the first class, twen? ty-two were cured; of the second, or t eight. Two-thirds of the whole had tue benefits of Christian and temperance training, while only twenty-three had been neglected. From this it would seem that tho temperance question re qnrres to be considered in a variety of aspects, ami that almost every subject affecting human interests deserves care? ful attention. The Florida Indians were in council last week, near the Big Oy pi ess, for the purpose of seleoting a chief in tho place of Tiger Tail, who some time since com? mitted suicide by hanging himself, and for the purpose of selecting a delegate to represent them in the State Legisla? ture. There aro tho remnants of three tribes, Seminoles, Tallahassees aud Mic cosnkies, represented in tho council, each having an aspirant for the chief ship; but the Miccosukies are the most numerous, and it is supposed that tho chief will bo selected from that tribe. Tho Tallahassees, who live on the head waters of Peace creek, have dwindled down to thirty, all told, six of whom are warriors; and the Seminoles aro fast being incorporated with tho Miccosukies. There aro not moro than 123 warriors, including all males upwards of sixteen years of age, now remaining in Florida, of the once powerful tribes which, for seven years, defied the authority of tho United States. A REPORTING MACHINE.-M. Geusoul, au ingenious Frenchman, has invented a "stenographic press." Tho reporter sits nt something like a key-board of a piano forte, and by applying his fingers to the keys, prints the words as they drop from the lips of the speakes, syllable by sylla? ble, on a strip of paper which rolls along underneath. When wo say this, of course we do not mean that the words aro printed in letters. The key-board appears to be divided into throe parts, of eight keys each. The left side, work? ed by the four fingers of the left hand, prints signs whioh represent initial con? sonants; thc right, worked by the fin? gers of thc right hand, priuts final con? sonants; and the middle, acted on by the two thumbs, print* the medium vowels. We gathered something like a phonetic system of what is employed. A few months' praoticc is sure to enable any operator to follow the most fluent speak? er with ease. Wo ought to say that M. Gensoul's syetem renders it unnec .-ssary to transcribe the copy. Just as v ith the phonetic system, if legibly written, tho compositor can set up the speech in com? mon type, from the printed slip furnish? ed by "the machine. OUR GREAT MEN ARE RAPIDLY PASSING AWAY.-We well remember going into the Senate Chamber in the summer of 1850, and there seeing the distinguished men of the land. There was Seward on tho extreme Whig right, to his left sat Clay, two seats farther on Berrien; over I there was the Senator from Missouri, Benton. Cass was there, and Jeff. Davis, Sam. Houston, Rusk, Pearce, Dayton, Badger, Soule, Butler, Ewing, Clemens, Bell, Mangain, W. R. King, Phelps, and Hunter. Webster had jost quitted the Senate to take the post of Secretary of State, and Crittenden was in retirement. Seward is now advanced in years, Hun? ter may survive for some timo to como, Jeff. Davis is abroad, where he will pro? bably die, Soulo is a lunatic, supposed to have becomo so becauso of the effects produced by the war, while Badger's powerful intellect has been for years clouded. Ewing still lives, though his influence is gone. The others have left us to render an account of their steward? ship before the Eternal. Among this bright galaxy, there wero few greater in? tellects than Bell. Ho was a man of con? servative tendencies, of clear understand? ing and profound thought. Besides, his character was spotless. His peers wcro fow, indeed. And while on this point, it may be safely said that thero is not a man in tho Senate house to-day of abili? ty equal to either of tho distinguished names wo have mentioned. Fesseuden was the brightest light of the present Senate, and he is gone. The Magnus Apollo is Sumner, who is as unlike tho great Senators of tweuty years ago, as a peacock is unlike au eagle. Ho makes a show of words, a seemingly fine parade; but there is nothing lofty, grand, or comprehensive in his mind or character. \New York News. B Elf ARK ABLE DEATH.-On last Satur? day, James Hammonds, of Carrolltou, Ala., died of congestion of tho heart and arteries'. For ten hours beforo his death the pulsations of his arteries ceased, but he walked about during tho time, gave directions about his affairs to his family, and drank coffee an hour beforo his death. 1 ' ? ? Important to Farmin ann Dtntcn In Freine**., . Tho following iu regard to tho liabili? ties of persons bay in g of seffing ffait, vegetables, and other agricultural pro? ducta, 'wi th respect to speciul tax as pro? duce brokers, dealers or peddlers, was addressed to Assessor Belcher, of Au? gusta, Ga,, several weeks since, but bas never been generally published. Assess? or Belcher submitted the following ques? tion: "Under tho . bead of peddler the law provides that parties traveling on foot and selling fruits and vegetables shall hot be taxable. Will this rule apply to a re? tail dealer, who sells fruits and vegeta? bles exclusively (not of his own raising) from a store or stand in excess of $1,000 per annum; or when he sells say 9500 other goods, and over $500 fruits and ve? getables; or will tho parties be taxable in either case?" "Aoting Commissioner Douglass an? swered that the persons exempted ped? dling fruits and vegetables were those first, when the fruits and vegetables are the products of their own farms or gar? dens; and second, when traveling on foot. A person who travels with one or more horses or mules, peddling vegetables not the product of bis own farm or garden, is liablo as a peddler. "Every person other than one having paid the special tax as a commercial broker, or cattle broker, or pedler, or wholesale or retail dealer, (which is held to include wholesale and retail liquor dealers,) whose occupation it is to buy or sell agricultural or farm products, and whose annual sales do not exceed $10,000, is a produce broker. It is not necessary tbat ho should sell to the amount of $1,000 per annum, to mako him liable to special tax. If it is bis occupation, or any part of his occupation, to keep agri? cultural or farm products, or to sell thom in any other way than by peddling them in the manner above statod, he should be taxed ns a produce broker, without re? gard to the amount of his purchases, however large, and also without regard to tho amount of his sales, not exceed? ing $10,000, unless ho has actually paid special tax as commercial broker, cattlo broker, wholesale or retail dealer, (in? cluding liquor dealer,) or pedler. "It is inferred from your letter that you do not regard a man who sells pro? ducts from a store or stand liable as n produce broker unless his annual sales amount to over $1,000. This is incor? rect. A man may bo liablo as a pro? duce broker oven though ho makes no sales at all, but makes purchases only. It will be noticed that produce brokers nrc not among thoso whose liability to special tax depends upon whether their annual business exceeds $1,000 or not. "A person who sells fruits and vegeta? bles from a store or stand is liablo as a produce broker, even though his annual sales, including sales of all other mer? chandize, do not exceed $1,000 dollars, and without regard to whether the fruits and vegetables are of bis own raising or not, unless he had actually paid special tax as a dealer." AFRICAN VILLAINY FOILED AND PUN? ISHED.-Ono day last week, a gentleman living in Limestone County, Alu., was called from homo on business, to bo ab? sent two days. About night-fall of the day of his departure, two travelers stopped at his houso and asked permis? sion to remain overnight. The lady ob? jected, alleging as a reason that her husband was absent, but, upon beiu'j assured that the applicants were gentle? men, finally consented that they should remain. Late in the night there was a loud knocking at the door, which aroused the lady as it did also her guests in an? other part of the houso. Upon opening the door she was seized by five masked men and dragged into the yard, with evil intent. At this moment the guests, who had approached the door unper? ceived, fired, killing two of the assail? ants, and the other three immediately fled. Thc corpses, upon unmasking, were found to be negroes. THE COTTON CHOP IN MISSISSIPPI. A private letter from Grenada, Miss., dated September 12, says: "Tho cotton is beginning to come in. I was through a cotton field of 200 acres last week. It looked splendid. The cotton is post 1 danger; bettor than any cr ?p since 18G5."

Those who have read "Les Miserables" and the "Toilers of tho Soa," will be disposed to read "The Man Who Laughs."
