COLUMBIA, S. C. Thura div Morning, January 20, 1870. REDUCTION IN PRICK-CLUBBING.-The WBEKIIT QUAM EB contains more reading matter than uuy other family paper pub? lished iu the South-thirty-two long columns, printed in olear type. It i? filled with original aa well aa selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene? ral nows, markets, telegrams, interest? ing stories, sketches, poetry, eta It* columns are now graced by a highly entertaining nouvelletie, the production of a lady of this city, and which has been pronounced by disinterested critics ns equal to the very best of "Marion Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and will run through about twenty numbers of the "GLEANER." As we are desirous of introducing the paper-which is in every sense a "hom? companion"-into every family in the State, we have de? termined to reduce the yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all cases, in advance: Single copy $2.75; ten copies, (to one post office,) $25.00; twenty copies $45.00; fifty copies $100. The GLEANER and the "Rural Caroli? nian"-tho popular agricultural monthly -will be furnished, for ono year, at four dollars. Address orders to PHONEX and GLEANER Office. Columbia, B. C. THE DUTY OF THE AMERICAN PATRIOT IN TRIS PERIOD OF THE COUNTRY'S CAREER. We publish in another column, sn ar? ticle from the Winnaboro iVctc*. on the subject of tho new party that it advo? cates. At the samo tima, we write this _?iiitomt to refute the propositions ?cT vanced by our ootemporary; and thus we shall give to our readers, st once, "the bane and the antidote." The Nows eajs, with apparent earnestness of feeling: "God Bave us from such practical anti radioalism as the Columbia PHONIX com? mends in the Democratic platform of Indiana." In our judgment, the News might, with far greater propriety, call upon Heaven to save it from its own fatal error of policy and still more seri? ous sacrifice of political principle. It is a serious thing to undertake to give di? rection to popular sentiment and popular action. It is a momentous undertaking to inaugurate a policy for a common? wealth. Has tho Neics seriously reflected upon the policy that it recommends? Has tho News considered where that policy begins, and where it ends? It may give tho Neros food for thought when we af? firm, that in the judgment of many thiuking men, its policy has no outlet, but begius in gloom and ends in disaster. The very ground upon which the News starts out, is, in our opinion, utterly er? roneous and untenable. It makes, in thc very beginning of its argument, an assumption which we deny, and thus, its premises being iucorrect, it follows that its conolneions are equally so. The News takes it for granted that the prin? ciple of State rights is gone and gone forever. Wc tako issue with the News. There is a "lost canse," hut this is not it. We admit that it may go down be? neath tho surging waters of centraliza? tion. We admit that it reels and totters beneath tho blows that it ia receiving. Tho country has decided against thc "right of secession," but there are State rights and there is State sovereignty short of secession, and there are greai States, North and South and West, tho still cling to this vital doctrine, and then is, too, n great party that still puta thii forth as its cardinal creod. No, not yet have wc despaired of the republic-cri tical as its cane may now be. Not yet have wo given up tho cause of conatitu Monal government and of free and co equal States. It may unit aomo men an? some journals to take the current, as i passes hy in its mad career and with it turbid waters, and call it their irresisti ble fate so to do. But not so with other of moro hopeful and faithful SOUIB. The; intend to struggle with "the storms o fate." They inteud to "take arms again! a sea of troubles, and by opposing em them." And wo will remind our friem of the News aud all others of "littl faith," that scattered all over thia bronc country-from tho lukes to the gulf, ant from the ocean to the ocean-are goo' nud true men, mostly of the Democrat! party, who, with the co-operation of pa triotic recruits from other parties, inten to make a persistent effort to overthrow tho dominant party and to bring th country back to its normal condition Nor to do this, do we need such a part us that suggested by the News. On th contrary, wo need a party based npon principio of government diameiricall opposite to that advocated by the Newt We hold that tho strongest, the truesl tho best principle of the Democrat] pnrty, is its fidelity to State rights an Stute dignity and State control of d< inestic affuirs. And no new pnrty ca commend itself to our support, that doc not buso its policy upon this essentii idea. Tho whole policy of tho News is base upon tho assumption that the popule sentiment of the country bas irrevooabl endorsed radicalism, and that...therefor* consolidation &ud other concomitants c radicalism moat bo folly acoepted. TJpo this hangs the policy of the News. Th wo deny. That some of th? acts of TSX i cal ism have passed beyond the domai of debate and become "fixed facts," v frankly admit. But to confound tl spirit and tho work of party loaders wil the fixed sentiment of the country, a great mistake. And this is tho mistal that we attribute to our cotemporar Wo differ from tho News very decided on this point. It does not seo in rac oalism so much to condemn as wo d It has over and again denounced its ft lies and its blunders, hut it has al sought to oxouso and palliate its offence When it regarda radiealism aa followii In the wake of >?f?te," we regard it .> yielding to the spirit of prejudice, vengeance and bate. We oppo-e it be? cause of its "consolidation principles, ' because of the foul wroug it has done the race to which God, in his Provi? dence, assigned ns-because of tho out? rage? it bas enforced upon theso South? ern States-because of the extravagance, cot rapt len and misrule it has developed -?because of the illogical, unnatural and abnormal programme it sevks to carry oat-because of the long oatalogue of crimes it bas committed ia the name of God, humanity and loyalty. I The News nay nob hfld this party to 6**10 responsibility that we do. And heneo is freer than we to accept its conclu? ons. As for ourselves, our convictions lure established, and/so long aa we find tho radical organisation hostile to the Interests of the Sttto and the Union, we .bail assail it with earnest vigor and Steady persistency. Two more points, and we are done. The News is disposed to exouse its sub? mission to the radioal programme of con? solidation, on the ground that it is "fate." Lot the News reflect if this may not hereafter be an appropriate rebuke: ..kf fear or folly has your rights betrayed. Dst not the fault on righteous Heaven oe laid, I Ypu gave the guards; you raised the tyrauti ? i high, lt impos? tb? beaty yoke that draws tb? heaving sigh." Again, the News takes the ground thal tl ie "advances of tyranny" are now bo y md the reach of patriotic endeavor, ,*d that therefore it is best to oouif wi?? with the tyrants. Solon said of the Atho ?sans, wben they were about to lose theil Mortis-: "It would have been easior foi them to repress the advances of tyranny atid pnnaii it? establishment : ????* it was established and grown to some height, it would be more glorious to de molish it." We leave the News to mak< th i application. And thus it will appea frc m what we have written, that if a thin party is needed to reform the countr and establish its liberties and its proa purity, it is MOT the party recommends by the News. The political storm is thickening ii Parjs. The disorders at the funeral c Victor Noir, though of no imm?diat significance,' plainly shows the existenc of a dangerous and daily-increasing el? mo lit of dissatisfaction, ready to broa out at every offering opportunity. Th conduct of Napoleon, in permitting malcontent, like Rochefort, not only t be at large, but to daily utter and put Usu' treason, is, to some extent, incoo: prehensible. Even Mr. Stanton, i republican America, would have ha a cell in some Bastile ready for snob a insurrectionist long ago. The a inn eat he ii permitted to enjoy, is due either t superior wisdom on the part of tb Emperor, or to a fear of precipitating contest, the issne of which ho consider at least, doubtful. One thing is cert um - he eannot long maintain his prestige with affairs in the present oonditioi and news of a stirring nature froi France may shortly be looked for. A contemporary, commenting upc the Ute heavy and steady emigration < negroes to the more Southern States, r marks: "The finger of a loftier hac than that of our mailed conqueror of tl North is seen in these movements. Tho: who have aimed to deliver us over ' that innocent race, bnt which wo? neve thelcns ignoraut and dangerous, mi now read their own sure def oat. Inti Gulf Staten, the negro will soon s?i that level to which the past has in i ages assigned him-that of hewer of woi and drawer of water. Cotton will at li become his king." TUB SKAHON'S DISAPPOINTMENTS.-T present winter thus far has been unf< tonate*for the reputation of tho weath prophets. It was predicted that tl season would be one of extraordina severity. There may be time enou left for the fulfillment of this prophet but, up to nearly tho middle of Jannai it has teen tho mildest wi titer for ma years. The fact stated by New Ye papers, of Hudson River steamboi running between New York and Albst is, however, not without precedent. Frc observations made during forty-1 years-oelween 1789 and 1832-it t pears that for fourteen winters, the rit was open in January, and twiue did t close ut all till February. It was cloe in December in twenty-three white and in november in four winters. '1 rule of ho river, then, is that for s sons ofXowHnary or great severity, oloses io.Decemuox, *?d remains dosi and in seasons of exoe^onably a weather, it may close in Novem^- wj moderate seasons commonly see it o] as late a; January, and sometimes as 1 as February. Prognostications of un orological phenomena seem to havo, more than one instsnoe, como to gr Some months ago. Lieutenant Saxby, officer of the British unvy, disturbed peaco of,nil ports and harbors with grave pr&lictious of an unusual high 1 that was' to do all manner of dame Thero was enough of probability in arguments with which Ssxby suppoi his theo'rP to create alarm in tho mi of certain) timid ones, who waited v anxious expectance for the coming luge. In the course of time, these | diotious reached Singapore, and, wit prudenooaud foresight worthy of a nnino emergency, the merchants munioipallauthorities set about the e tion of barriers, to proteot their from the lan tioi pated flood. It is I that the alarmed citiiens expended 9 I OOO on these barriers, and on the da the expected inundation, the tide wa? quito as high as usual. Since then, tho same authority, the curious obset who wandera through the streets of oity, may detect a slight unaertom , blasphemy in the business quarters, j science and Saxby come in for ebon j equal share of the malediction.

Tho Columbi-^Krr pondcut of thc Charleston CourW--/*'- There is every reason to belie-bi^rt important ohnnges aro soon to, 'akd^place in tho railroad system ot/ne^Slate. Tho presence iu Cohimb>=o^'1 number of capitalists, and the n//obnso by them and by their agenta oC/Zo stock of tho Oreenvillo Railroud, ?nti secrecy with which their operations nave been planned and conductod, und tho fact that they have absorbed, say 20,000 shares of tho slock of that corpo? ration, at little less than threo dollars per .share, aro evidences of a determina? tion to use this important lino for some signal purpose. What that purposo is hus not yet benn fully developed, but we believe enough has trauspircd to show | that flies., parties intend to control the I most important link of tho. Rino Ridge Railroad. This HtockJBniist, therefore i inevitably appi eeiate i?r^taisjtfflf^H^^r the Western connections ure completer In that Greenville Railroad Company, the State is interested to tho extent of about one-third of its stock, say 25,000 shares; and tho city of Charleston is in? terested to the amount of one sixth of tho stock. Tho two, therefore, maj exert a controling influence in moulding the destinies of the road, and directiug its benefits in tho proper channel. Is this likely to be? dono? So fur as tho city nf Charleston is concerned, President Ma? grath, of the South Carolina Railroad, bas, we believe, pluced himself iu such relations to the capitalists, ns will protect the interests of this community. In other words, if it is contemplated by the purchasers <>f tho Greenville Railroad to continuo the line to Asheville und on through tho Hin?? Ridge, or to enrry for? ward the Rino Ridge Railroad already begun, Charleston will be to this end of the lino what Cincinnati or St. Louis may becouio nt tho other end. It has been feared that the owuera of tho Wiluiiugton and Manchester and tho Wilmingtou and Weldon Railroads were at tho bottom ?>f n conspiracy to pur chaso tho Greenville Railroad, and its brunches to Spartanburg and Laurens, for tho purpose ol' diverting all the trodo of that region over their own roads-thus eoiniug in competition with tho Charlotte und Columbia mid the South Carolina Railroads. This suspi? cion was strengthened, by tho fact that engineer* ure at once to commence the work of survey, between Sumter and Columbia, preparatory to building a line that shall connect tho upper portiou ol tho Stu'.o with rivul corporations and rival cities. Rat tho assurance lins boen given, that tho solo and only purposo of the capital' ibts referred to is to purchase tho Green? ville Hoad aa the beginning of a trunk lino through to tho West. It is stated, furthermore, that they aro backed by immense capital, a portiou of which will be expended in putting the Greenville Road in thorough repuir. building new engines and ears, nnd making it a first elusa institution. Meanwhile, they pro pose to push energetically forward to wurde tho mountains; and they exprest tho belief that, in less than threo years, ibero will be a railway to tho grout" Weal that will open and expand into new chanuels tho riches of two sections of thc Union. ...? ?- - THE XKW YORK WHISKEY RAID SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS INVOLVED I> TH ii SEIZURE.-Tho New York Timet gives thu particulars of the immense seizures of illicit whiskey establishment; in that city on Tuesday.

God save us from mich "practical nnti radicalism" aa the Columbia P KKN-JX. commends in the Democratic platform of Indiana. We can't help it-we don't aee it that way, and we cannot bat ex? press our convictions. It bad been aa sensible, "practically," for Indiana De? mocrats to hnva donouuced tho whole war as a blunder und a crime, (?nd iu this wo would agreo with them,) ui to assert State rights principle* that the ; war waa waged to put d'->wn, uud hope, ; by so doing, to draw the popular voto from the radical party. "Practically," , this Indinan platform appears to us to play right into tho hands of the party iu power, when popular sentiment is such ap we know it to bo. The country needs, uud will soon have, a new purty. Wo I eau not go back to Statu sovereignty, j Tho impracticability of tho attempt- j not that it would bo uudesiruble-is tho j point upon which wo haag. But tho i advocates of a new party aro met by the impudent assertion that there erm be bat two partios. Those who have never j read ii pago of history may bo persuaded ; by tho unblushing boldness of tho stato- j mout; but those convinced that tho pro- ! sont anti-radical party eau never d?font j tho radicals, but who aro unfriendly to ' tho ruling party, will cxauiiue if it beso, '? and will timi that history is full of sac- ! cossful new or third parties, and that the i proseut radical party is itself but an ordinary case in point. It started as a third party. Priuciplos determino policies uud cro? ate parties. Calhoun long since proved that tho theory of n divided sovereignty, ! attempted by thu Constitution, nud i defended by Daniel Webster, was itn- i practicable, and that sovereignty must! reside with the States or with the F?deral ! Government. Now, tho party that ! sprung up, upon tho first priociple of j tho sovoreiguty of tho State*, was i crushed, with tho principle itself, by the ! ^^.^MBO??^'^'^BSae?B^BI^BWkaiPfflto*^ j suiting in the formation of several cWPSU deracios, is tho only "practical" result ot a steady prupug.indisw of that discarded dogma of State sovereignty. Those who cling to it may not bo aware of it, but they uro disseminating "ideas that will spring up into armed men," uot that will give thom the control of the present Federal Government; for I hos? hb'us will not-no, never. What wu contend for is, that leaving tho [attire ti? itself, it is evident that our present need is u new third party, on the only other theory of our Government that Calhoun admitted tobe "practical," the consolidation theory. Andrew John? son's rehash of Daniel Webster's delu? sions on this subject, is a mero paper scheme, and will never work. Twice has tho popular voto rejected it already, and a hundred times will it. reject it again, especially when put to thc popu lur mind asa new form of "rebellion." Thc objection, then, ot thc Winnsboro News to tho radicul party is, not to its consolidation principien -they are simple fate-but to its partisan uud un national application of them. The samo princi? ple can develop into moro than ono policy. For instance, Henry Wisp, of Virginia, and so, we think, Floyd, ud viscd that the battle for .States rights bo fought, rx et annis, within tho Union, and not by secession. Wo arc persuad? ed that it had been the wiser policy, thc other policy having resulted in tho loss of thc principle. Just so, what wo need is, not the revival or increase, of a party based ou a priuciple rejected, through blood, by tho Amcricau nation, but a new anti-radical party, based upon the consolidation principle that tho American nation has adopted, and proposes to test to its utmost consequences, aud it is folly for us to traverso the march of fule. Ami icc ure fftppy to announce to our readers that the debates of Congress in? dicate the undeveloped existence of this now party, tho debate on tho Virginia bill, for instance; in which our Senator, F. A. Sawyer, though slandering the j South sul?eieutly for ull practical pur poses, yet in the solid, sensible position l that ho took for tho immediate admission of that subjugated province (wo hate the hypocrisy which calls it a State,) he snowed sound judgment and wise fore- j sight.

He Bays he was called j to see an infant that was in a dying cou- j dition, apparently from tho effects of a i narcotic poison, and was assured that it had taken no medicino but Hus "'sooth- j iug syrup." The doctor took the bottlo ' and had some of tho syrup unaly/.eil by j a skillful chemist, and tho analysis ! showed that each ounce of the stuff con? j fained nearly one grain ol' morphine. A dose for an infant three mouths old, as ! prescribed by Mrs. Winslow's printed directions, contained an amount of mor- . phine equal to teu drops of laudanum. ' This is ordered to be given to the child , every two hoars, ia certain cases, and double tho quantity tn a child six months old. As children are very susceptible to the influence of opium, of which mor pb inn is the active priuciple, four drops of laudanum having been known to kill an infant of nine mouths, and tho ma- | nufactnrers of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup sell annually about lUO.OOO two- j ounce bottles in tho single State of New i York, the reader can form sumo idea of , the number of babies that sro soothed to perpetual sleep by this nostrum.

Rut, aside from these consid?r?t ion?, the deep interest those former rebels have in the future welfare of the South, arising from their ownership of a largo portion of tho soil, renders their personal and active co-operation, in matters relating to local and general government, essential | to tho country. Whatever muy havo been their errors or their crimes, they i certainly, in general, acted under the I impulse of wliut they behoved to be i patriotic motives; and, being beaten, ? they would certainly now voto and legis- j late for tho best interests of tho country, ? according to their light. They eau have ' no higher interests, now, than the wei- | fare of their section; and it cannot bc doubted that all of tho best talent is needed to promote, iu the highest de? gree, its future welfare, which must react, in the fluanciul situation of the ; country, on the prosperity and welfare j of the North ulso.-Detroit Free Press. ; THE GHOST OF KINO SOLOMON.-If j the spiritualists could raise it, would admit that there is something "new under tho sun."
