COLUMBIA;' '& ~C. Friday Morola*, October 29,1869, In-llvlduul Kffbrl-Thc I'lkilosophy of Conven tioHH. Thor i is now n great deni said about the way ? and means of rebuilding np the Sooth. Varions expedients have been suggested. It may be a difficult thing to say what of all agencies will bo most efficacious. . But it is hot difficult to tlo claro what will not answer. lu the first place, politics alono will not regenerate the South. - Even if the South could be eminently successful in her political role, this would not bring her the desired re? lief. Alter all, parties in tho political world do bot give direction to the solid power elsewhere obtained. It is the strong battalions that win-strong in numbers, strong in wealth. lu the next plaoe, conventions, of themselves, will not accomplish our rapid regeneration. From the various commercial and other con? ventions that have been held in thc Sooth, much has been oxpeoted, but not much has been received Tho foot of the matter is, the philosophy of conven? tions is not always understood. No one need expeot anything from them further than to give direction to public thought and to publie energy. Conventions aro highly useful, but useful, let it bounder stood, in their way. They bring men together from the four quarters of tho country or the State. They compare notes together. They consider, balance, and weigh conflicting ideas. Minds act ?pon minds with useful results. Tho experience of one man reinforces thc ex? perience of Another. The spirit und tho enthusiasm of one ardent worker comes to animate a sluggish brother. A com? mon plan is agreed upon. But here the utility of eouventions ends. It but points the way. It bat lays down tho programme. What, then, after all, is necessary to consummate either reli? gions, political or industrial reforms? Wo answer, that it is individual effort it is personal exertion. "To this com? plexion it must come at last." And wo believe that, in onr capacity as public journalists, wa can impress upon our readera no more important lesson than this. The public interests-what are j they but the aggregate of individual j interests. Tho public wealth-what is it but the aggregate of individual wealth, j The power, the material power, of the ; South-what can it be but tho individual power that her sous shall individually j acquire. . j "Hereditary bondsmen! know ye not Who would bc free, themselves must strike tho blow?" lu the commercial and industrial world, wo of the South have long beer. the "bondsmen" of the North. Tho South now aspires to rid herself of this disastrous bondage. To do so, she must move ont upon the industrial arena, and her people must, by individual effort, work ont their salvation. "Themselves must strike tho blow" that breaks thc fetters of industrial bondage. <-??-? EDUCATION is THE STATE.-The Wi uti 6 boro News says : "In conclusion, our readers will ob? serve that our zeal for education is cath? olic, embracing all classes and both races. We canuot approve of any effort to mingle the races at present in schools of any sort, but we desire the education of everybody. We, therefore, urge the con? tinuance and support of the University, the revival of the South Caroliua Mili? tary Academy, by the Survivors' Asso? ciation, the education of tho orphans of such as died in the service of their coun? try, and the establishment of self-sup? porting agricultural schools for the young mon of both races, ut threo or four dif? ferent points in tho State. 'Knowledge descends;' the higher education should be attended to first. Even if this were not true, no system of education is much worth without it. Of course, too, the State should inaugurate the agricultural schools we have suggested. " EATHER HYACINTHE.-In reference to his "position," which bespoke upon very freely with his reverend visitor, Father Hyacinthe said: "I believe that it is possible to enjoy freedom of thought and exercise it, and yet belong to thc com? munion of the Catholic Church. I still consider myself n Curmelito monk, and am as devoted as I ever was to Holy Mo? ther Church; but I maintain that I exor? cise my priestly functions by authority of God alone, and that tho Church has no right to change the faith as handed down by tho fathers -'to add to or take from' it in any way whatever. I behove Pro? testants to belong to the groat brother? hood of faith, but I do not intend to idly myself to their peculiar views." lu speaking of tho Church, through its councils, promulgating articles of faith, he remarked that ho did not believe in thc Church's authority to mako an arti? cle of faith binding on Catholics, such as that of thu Immaculate Conception. m > ? . 'THE UNKINDEST COT OP Am.-The Now York Tribune editorially says: "Tho nation is generous; it is not very exact iug of its rulors in tho matter of brains or capacity." Poor Grant I San Francisco is making au abortive attempt to rival Chicago in the matter of divorces, but had got above one a day at last accounts. A Strang? Story. About ten years ago. UM hand of a yoong lady, whoso father had passed be? yond th? stage ht mexejteom|Mt4?o8vin point of worldly substance, in St. Louie, was songbt by a merchan t. Pressing his snit for some time, ho was finally accept? ed by the parent*, and being a gentleman of means, the marriage took plac? with considerable eclat and display. On his part, he was in oarncst, and was au affec? tionate suitor; but by the parents of tho young lady it was degraded to the degree of a marriage a la mode. Their own es? tablishment wus sot up, and tho hand? somest and most elegant appointment? provided for n luxurious and wealthy home; bat it lacked the very essential that will make a palace of a cot. One of tho dorks in the store of tho youug wo? man's fatbor was the wolf which besot that household. Between him and her thero had boou a clandestine conrtsbip, und ho was loth, when the pri?e was car? ried away, to surrender the hand of tho woman whoso heart he already possessed. The kind of lifo the married couple led will not bear repoating. The husband tried every expedient to win the woman, who nlways rogardod him with esteem, but never with affection. Ono morning ho found his home de? serted by his wife, and a noto telling him not to pursue her, that it. wonld be a hopeless task. He immediately commu? nicated with the father of his wife, and to his utter astonishment fouud that the fides achates, the confidential clerk of his father-in-law, had also absconded, taking with him a sum of money, but not onough to eudangor the interests and prospects of the houso. By a system of husbing only known to thoso in such entangle? ments, tho whole transaction was con? cealed from tho public. The husband, wearied out by tho absence of tho woman, finally obtained a divorce on the ground of desortion. Ho marriod again, and with his second wife lived happily. Last summer sho died, leaving motherless a boy and girl, both interesting, sprightly children. Tho truant woman (this part of thc story wo have from her own lips) accom? panied her paramour and lover to the plains. Tho first year they spout at Cen? tral City and other mining points in Colorado, the lover, with his small capi? tal, filched from his employer's safe, and his knowledge of business, being able to do some mining trade and to make some money. Thence, they went to Salt Lake and into Southern Utah, and finally drift? ed with the tide of ad /enture to the minos of Novada. No tidings of thoir where? about or meanderings ever reached tbe ears of the hoart-brokon parents and stricken husband. At last, ill fortune , befell them. He grow sick, and their j accumulations gradually wasted away. ? The States began to have more attractions j than heretofore, and they drifted East? ward. The lover, who, in the looso civi? lization of tho frontier, regarded himself as the lawful husband, established a ! boarding-honso on tbe Central Pacific I Railroad. Here be died. Alone in thc I world, tho woman carno back, and when she lauded iu Couucil Bluffs was utterly penniless. Repentant, only as a woman ; can be ropentant, even to despair, sho wrote to her father, but both parent bc ! iug dead, the letter fell into tho hands of the executor, who showed it to tho bereft husband. Tbe latter carno here as speed? ily as possible, and met his long lost and truant wife.-St. Jue Union. TUE NEW COTTON Cnor.-The recon? struction of the South has taken a very practical turn, if we may judge by tho success which has already attended the cotton crop of 1869 -70. From the re? turns at the different ports it appears that the receipts so fur are 100,000 bules iu excess of tbe amount received during the corresponding expired portion of the cotton year of 1868-69. Valuing the crop in round numbers at $100 a bale, the South has, therefore, made $10,000,000 moro than last year, while tho prospect ia fair that tho wholo crop of this year will excocd that of last year in the same proportion. Before tho war the annual product was 6,000,000 bales. The near? est approximation to this figuro since tho war hus bcon about 3.250,000; bat this year tho crop bids fair to reach nearly i,000,000. As cotton is now worth, even in gold, twice tho price of ante-war timos, tho gain to tho country is still a vast one, and assures the prosperity of the section which suffered most severely from tho war.-JVeic York Herald. Tho election for Representative from Kershaw, to fill the vacancy caused by tho death of Jonas Nash, resulted in the election of William Adamson, oolored, thc radical caudidate. There was no opposition, and but little interest was shown in the affair. Very few votes were polled, aud everything passed of j quietly. Gold, it is reported, is selling in Etayti at 180,000 per cent., or Si,800 in j paper for one dollar in gold. In order j to put a stop to this immense deprecia tion of the currency, President Saluave ! sent some of the broker* to prison, and ! pressed others into the army. Tba gold, however, kept on rising, and pork is sell? ing at ?50,000 a burrel. lt hos been tinuouuced, aud is gene? rally known, wo presume, that the Ex? change Hotel aud tho Ballard House aie ! nguiu united under one management. ? Tho two buildings arc to bo connected again as of yore by the covered bridge or passage-way across tho street. A serious firo occurred in Montreal, j Canada, on Saturday night. The great- ! est losses were tho complete destruction of St. Andrew's Church and the partial I destruction of tho Unitarian Church und tho drug manufactory of Kerry & Cra-1 thers. Tho loss is $150,000. Governor Holden, of North Carolina, is organizing and tinning a company of negroes in Haleigh, which, of course, is creating much excitement.

At the dose of the war tho ilrcmou of the Sooth made an appeal to their brethren of the North for aid, nearly everything they had haring been destroyed. The New York Firemen's Association responded to tho appeal, aud gave a splendid bose carriage to Uoao Company No. 1, of Columbia, S. C. Our citizens may remember thc melancholy loss of tbo steamer Andalusia, with their beautiful gift on board, together with u full set of fire equipments for each mern bor, yet, nothing daunted, they bad another carriugo built and presented to tho Columbia Company, ut au outlay of ueur $10,000. Many of tho ?outbern firemen have been on n visit here, and have urged tho New York firemen to visit the South.-2Veio York Sun. IMMIGRATION.-Tho extraordinary rush of immigrants to this country, durirg tho three months ending Juue 30, of thc present year, is worth noting. The totul number was 165,987-boiug a vory large increase over tho name period iu previ? ous years. The class of immigrants, too, is unusual) j good. We find among them, for example, 60 clergymen, G5 physi? cians, 58 artists, 5,559 mechanics, 3113 bakers, 233 butchers, 74 seamstresses, 733 shoemakers, 706 tailors, 1,058 ma? sons, 1,518 of miscellaneous trades, 560 clerks, 15,553 farmers, -10,225 laborers, 1,913 traders, 8,103 minors, -186 mari? ners, 5,709 servants and 763 of other spo cified occupations. Again, it is worthy of noto, that while Ireland scuds 26,138, "Great Britain" (meaning, wo may sup? pose, England, Ireland and Wules) sends 33,574. Germany, Austria nnd Prussia lead the list with'50,999. WHAT IT COSTS.-A short timo ugo, a conscientious assessor in Abbeville Coun? ty went to n plantation for the pnrpose of assessing the taxes of tho freedmen employed there. The freedmen wero about thirteen in number, aud the assess? ment occupied the official from morning to night. When tho work was done, the assessor found that tho whole amount that the freedmen were assessed-apart from tho educational tax of one dollar each-would realize for tho State just seventy-five cents, provided that none of tho thirteen tax-payers failed to pay the tax. The assessor receives three dollars for his day's work, and consumed about fifty cents' worth of stationery; so that it cost the State three dollars and fifty cents to obtain the right to collect three-fourths of one dollar.-Charleston Ncirs.
