??L?MBIA, S. C. redneaday Morn ins, December 15,1869 The Suez Canal is, without donbt. one if the moat : remarkable products of ogiuceriug skill that has ever been oom HpSoted since Cheops commenced tho pyramid, from which forty cou tunes now k down. In the immensity of its cost, Stud the difficulties whioh havo beeu en B?puntered and overcome, no other piece if canalization in the wide world at all ompares with it. But now that it has ?eon finished, and the inauguration Accomplished, with more than princely agnifloence, the question arises, will it iocomplish the grand purpose for which it was constructed? It is well known li?t the Bed Sea is crowded with coral feefs, whioh are most dangerous to navi? gation, and wo have it aunounced by telegraph that the bark Noel, for Bom jay, the first freight vessel which passed ihrough the new canal, was wrecked in pie Bed Sea. If the dangers from these wrecking reef? be as great as some de dare them to be, the insecurity of the ?ate and increased cost of transporta? ron will seriously interfere with the financial and commercial prospects of ihe enterprise. At any rate, it will be Regarded] at an unfavorable omen, that [he first commercial adventure through he canal proved a failure. It may be hat a safe passage through the reefs may et be discovered; if so, the world will ejoice. Bat ihe coral insect is a great be to navigation, and in no other sea las ii obtained such a point of vantage s in that whioh overwhelmed the host of haraob. MISINTERPRETING THE POPE.-The topo, in his allocution before the Yatt? an Council, was reported in the cable aessage, published on Saturday, to have de uss of the expression that "the Bhnreh is stronger even than Heaven." 'he despatch was printed just as re eived by the cable, with the interpola on "Sic" made on the other side, ac ompauied by the explanation of the gent of the Associated Press in New ifork, calculated to discredit, or at least o question, the accuracy of tho passage. must be remembered that the allocu ion was delivered before the council in latin, in whioh langnage the words sky, eaven or beavens are rendered by the ame word, colum. The Pope may have aid, in all probability, that the Church vas stronger than the heavens, or the ikies, used in the sense of the Scriptures, hat the heavens shall roll away as a icroll, but my Kingdom shall endure crover. In many places the Bible peaks of the mutability of visible ireation and the perpetuity of the Dhurcb, vide Psalm cii, verses 25, 26 and Therein evidently a misuse of terms y the translator. The President, in his message, tells ingress about various policies that ihould be adopted, bat it so happens that io dosen't want them adopted at present. Ie says that oar taxes might bo reduced ??G0,000,000 to $80.000,000 per year, were t not for some experiment that he wants o make in funding the public debt; but, things are, he thinks it best to post >ono reduetiou. He desires a return to pecio payments, but this, he tells us, nust be deferred for tho present. He .sscrt.s that tho tariff ought to be cut j IOWD, but the process, he holds, should >e put off till another season. The in* ernal revenue tax, he assumes, should >e abolished, bat this, ho thinks, should ie adjourned for three years. The Ala >ama claims, he resolutely contends, mst be rigorously settled, but the 6et (lement, he is well convinced, should wait a future and calmer condition of eeling between the United States and treat Britain. All these things, he has io doubt, will demand the energetic ac? tion of future administrations, but not of lis. INCOME TAX.-It was generally sup? posed that tho iucome tax for the fiscal fear would amount to between 832,000, )0 and $35,000,000. According to Com ussioner Delano, however, it will not ixceed 826,000,000. Still this is au to? rease over tho amount received last year >[ $3,000,000. The iuternal revenue re? port shows that the reduced tax on spirits fud tobacco increased the revenue, in six lonths, $21,000,000 for tho fiscal year nding JUDO 30, 1860. For the next luartur the total increase was, over 1868, 123,834,868. Next year Mr. Delaoo ex? pects a revenue of $60,000,000 from dis i Hod spirits. That officer opposes any [iteration of any tax, income or other? wise, which, by any possibility, will re? luce his income. Ia reference to the in [omo tux, which expires with the assess lent for 1870, he advises its renewal as \n tho whole more equitable than any ix that would bo likely to take its place. _[Vx-poyera do uot. IA telegram from Borne reports that the ?ope baa issued a decree providing that n case of his death the Oc-aniunical Council shall bo dissolved and none but Cardinals vote for his successor. Hag? v?. Wright. To THE EDJXQB Qjrjq^P^piMg; jTi olaimno bea friend] ol Is ?W The&tbeii Wrijtft waa ?ingj?it off -tb* cad in Virria, became ofpiisjcolftr, Efogenoftj his colored friend in the lurch. The re? porter of one of our State papers, (who is known to be nt least friendly to the radioal8.) thus narrates Wright's account of the part H?ge took, in the car ad? venture : "Sawyer and Robertson, had gone into the sleeping car. Wright says when the attack was made upon him, H?ge picked up his hat and started for the sleeping car. In the morning, after the affair was over, H?ge told Wright that he was not able to assist him in the evening, in con? sequence of rheumatic pains, but that he felt much better then nod ready to fight it ont." Of oourse, Wright has more than sense cuough to soc how the thing was. H?ge is not much of a ?ght ist. He is a good runnist, however. He is suid to have run well when he was hoaxed about the Ku-Kluxes in the mountains last year ran 25 miles through sheep-burs and beggar-lice. He ran well to Congress being elected by "a majority of 3,000 votos against him." And here again, at Clover Station, Wright informs us that he ran into the sleeping car upon tho first soent of danger. Wright bad better curry a good supply of morphine, to give to his white friends on the ap? proach of danger, when he hus to travel in such company hereafter. ALL RIGHT. Southland Writer?. "Biographical and critical sketches of the living female writers of the South, with extracts from their writings, toy Ida Raymond." Tins is a seasouable book, for a splen? did Christmas present. It is gotten up in the highest style of artistic excellence, and portrays kindly, while faithfully, the lady-writers of "the Sunny South." The idea of the acceptability of such a work has seemed to be simultaneous in the minds of several of the literateara of the day, for the theme has furnished material for several volumes reoently from the press. Apart from any literary merits, "Southland Writers" has a claim on the patronage of Southern people, as the proceeds of its salo are to be appropriated to the relief our aoldiers' orphaned chil? dren. It is to be hoped that our obliging and enterprisiug booksellers hero will obtain a large supply of this superb vo? lume, before the Christmas holidays the time for making haudsome presents for this volume will not only prove a beautiful souvenir of friendship, but its sale will assist a noble obarity.
