COLUMBIA, 8? C. Wedttftaday Morclng, February 2,1870. RKDUOTIOH JU PBIOK -OLUBDOCO.-The WEKKJDT GliEANEJG COU tain? moro reading satter Ibas any G tb or family paper puu liahod in the South-thirty-two long columns, printed in olear type. It is rilled with original as well as selected matter-editorials, correspondence, gene ral nowa, markets, telegrams, interest? ing etories, sketches, poetry, et*. Its ?colo nana are BOW graced by a highly entertaining nowelletle, the production or ir lady of this city , and whian has been pronounoed by disinterested critics ?WUl lo the Tory best of "Manon Harland's" works. This story is entitled "Orkney, or the Fortunes of Juliet Clay? burn-a tale of the Palmetto State," and will ran through about twenty numbera of the "Gn&aNKtt." Aa we aro desirous of introducing the papor-which is in every sense a "/tome companion"-into every family in the State, wo have de? termined to reduce tho yearly subscrip? tion price, as follows-payable, in all oases, in advance: Single copy 82.75; ten copies, (to oue post office,) $25.00; twenty oopies $45.00; fifty copies $100.

THE EXTENSIO?<5F~THELIM?TS OF COLUMBIA. We learn that this proposition carno up in the Senate on yesterday, and that the radical Senator from Richland, Beverly Nash, stated that there was no expres? sion of opposition to tho measure from ihn citizens, and that ho believed that two-thirds of them favored the extension. This statement is not correct, and if it has been determined to consummate this l?gislative outrage, wo do not intend that tho L?gislature shall have the excuse em? braced in the statement of Nash. We learn that a protest, numerously signed, was gott??? up against the extension, and weinow that it is condemned by a large majority of our people. It is deemed a useless and expensive move, conceived in lawlessness aud born of mero party trickery. Colombia is now foll of vacan t lots, and has (ho capacity of a city con? taining; at least, 50,000 inhabitants. Fur? thermore., it would entail a heavy expense upon the oity to open new streets. To extend the oity limits is calculated to benefit neither white nor black, and tho Legislature will be without excuse, should it entertain the proposition. We learn that the matter will come np to-day, in the Senate. VIRGINIA PREPARING TO FORM 4 NATURAL ALLIANCE. The Richmond Enquirer and Examiner is preparing for the Democratic party of Virginia. The late conservative organi? sation, it says, was only the militia called into the field to repel a sudden irruption. It wants now a standing army, based npon principles and composed of good and true soldiers. It asks how shall they in Virginia fight the Republi? can party. It says: "Now, how shall we fight this party? In some wishy-washy way? Without organization, or in some loose form of organization? "We must, in our opinion, have a Ma? cedonian phalanx-& compact, solid, im? penetrable, aud thoroughly disciplined column. "And now, does any practical man be? lieve that the militia lately called to? gether to repel a special irruption, and which we dubbo i the conservative party, can successfully fight this battle asa permanent organization? Can we here in Virginia maintain an independent party which bas no existence anywhere else in the oountry, North or South; and which bas no affiliation with any national party? "Wo cannot avoid having some party to oppose the Republicans; and, second ly, the conservative organization waa merely gathered for a single campaign it ia not a standing army." Oar readers will remember that in commenting upon the "third party" movement in Virginia, we interpreted it as a move for tho occasion-not as a new departure. When men saw in the con? servative organization of Virginia the nucleus of a new party, we saw in it a diversion only. It was the spirit of Stonewall Jackson leading Virginians in n flank movement. It would appear that we Were not far wrong. Where is the "third party" in Virginia.? Where iu Tennessee? Where iu Mississippi? Where in Texas? Echo answers where. No; it ?9 in vain for mon to seek to circumvent the laws of nature and of nu- ! ture's God. There are elements in the j political world that cannot be com? mingled.. The great Southern heart we mean tho heart that sends tho lifo- j blood through tho Southern body-that gives tone to all that is elevated and I enduring in this Southern laud, cao I never accept the radical or Republican I role. You can base no lasting Southern i party npon acceptauco in whole or in part of RADICALISM. AS it present? itself to us, it is wrong in its principles of government, and worse in its political practices. To tho gonuinc Southeru man, it is instinctively obnoxious, and only considerations of profit, or power, or pelf can make it acceptable. We re? ject it. "Nor would we ought with it now, nor ever.''

At present, ?he is the | evening star, and is passing from her superior to ber inferior conjunction with the san, and every evening sets earlier. She is approaching the grand solar centre, and on the 23d of February she will reach her inferior conjonction, and tarn her darkened side towards UH, re? appearing on tho Western side of the sun as a morning star. She is alter? nately a morning and evening star for a period of 292 days, although her annual revolution takes only 225 days, but HS the earth moves in the same direction it takes this additional time for the earth, the sun and Venus to come into the same position regarding each other. The ap? proaching transits of Venus lends her additional interest. The last ono occur? red in 1769, and the next occur in 1874 and 1882. These events are anticipated with profound interest hy astronomers, as they will enable them to verify the distan co of the sun from our planet. All during this month Venus will be unus? ually bright and interesting to star? gazers. -? < ? ? - BUTLER.-Mr. Farnsworth left neither hide nor hoir on the "bottle imp" dur? ing the debate on Monday. Ho drew out the general's record, Jeff. Davis, Breckinridge, and all, and added that his desertion was so recent, that, like Peter, he was driven to curse his old master und associates in order to prove that the desertion was sincere. And so on for half au hour, while the great obliquitoua sweated and smouldered under the infliction. THE TRIUNE PRINCIPLE ILLUSTRATED. - The election of Wright, a Northern negro, to the Supreme Bench, causes the judiciary to illustrate the three dominant elements at present in South Carolina. We have the Southern "loy? alist" in Mr. Moses, the carpet-bagger in Mr. Willard, and the negro in Mr. Wright. A HORRIBLE AND ATROCIOUS MURDER A MOTHER SHOT WITH HER BARY AT THE BREAST.-By a gentleman from up tho Seaboard Road we have just heard the details of a most horrible crime commit? ted by some fiend incarnate in Mecklen? burg County, Va., near Gaston, N. C., on Tuesday night last. It appears that a lady by the name of Mrs. Rollins, who lives in that neigh? borhood, was sitting in her house with a baby at her breast nursing, and two or three of her small children playing round about her in the room, when the murderer approached the window and discharged a double-barrelled gun, load? ed with buckshot and several large slugs, into her right side, which passed through her body and came out on her left side, near the region of her heart, killing her instantly. Tho infant at her breast was not hurt, nor were any of the other ohildren. There wero no grown persons in the room at the time. Our informant tells us that suspicion rests on a nogro man whoso wifo Mr. Rollins had discharged from service a day or two before thie horrible deed was perpetrated, as he had been heard to make some threats about having ven? geance. It is believe he vent there with the design of taking Mr. Rollins' life, but, Anding him absent, the fiend mur? dered his wife in place of him. Our in? formant could not recollect the negro's j name, and was not informed whether he had yet been arrested. [Norfolk Day Dook. CONFESSION OF MURDER.-Friday Nix ou, who was convicted of the mt. der of a colored man named Ball, whose i> ody was found in Ashley River, has made a full confession of his crime, and entirely exonerates his son, Anthony Nixon, who was said to be a participator in the orimo, and was convicted at the same time.
