COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Mor nine, March 6,1870. Our ootomporary of the Columbia Guordian repeats ita suggestion for an editorial conference, in this city.. We repeat what we hate before said, and oononr in the opinion expressed by the Abbeville Press arid Barnier, and the Winnsboro Netos, (hat, politically con? sidered, it is not likaly that said oonfer enoe would result in good. We have no feats about the harmony of tho opposi? tion. The developments of an ' early fu? ture will moke tte a unit in action, as wc are now a unit in purpose. The Abbovillo Press and Banner says: "With due deference to the opinion of our contemporaries, wa think it prema? ture to attempt to adjust differences now, by means of press conferences or party conventions. Tho difference between ourselves can easily be adjusted, when the proper time comes." We oononr iq this view. In propos? ing a convention of the people, we con? templated no immediate movement. Tho Premium Cotton Kidd. We copy, from the Bural Carolinian, the following statement from Mr. J. M. Crawford, of Bichland, of his plan of growing cotton. Mr. C. was the suc? cessful competitor for the premium at our late Fair, for the greatest produc? tion of cotton, on both one and five acres: To the Executive Committee of the Stale Agricultural and Mechanical Society. GENTLEMEN: As I sm a competitor for the prize to be awarded for the best five aores of ootton, I do herein certify that my five acres of land is an upland basin, surrounded by a gradually rising slope; that it was wet and comparatively un? productive when I bought it, and that I have by underground draining, manur? ing, and careful and judicious manage? ment, brought it to a very high state oi fertility and productiveness, Ia making my drains I out a ditch two feet wide by three-and-a-half deep, and fillod twelve inches with brickbats or stones, and threw in straw and con-stnlks to keep thc earth from falling in amongst them; 1 then filled up with earth. These draint I prefer to tiles, having tried both. In November, 1868, after gathering my corn, I broke 'up the ground with ( half-shovel plow, six inohes deep, anc followed this with a two-horse plow being a bull-tongue, fifteen inches long widened near the point, the better tc pulverize the soil. The lot remained ii this condition until January, when i was harrowed with a large, two-bora< iron-toothed harrow, which completely pulverized the soil, and left tho gronn< cleau and level. On the first of April, I plowed an< harrowed again, then laid off the row four feet, aud put the fertilizer in th drill, using a mixture of Peruviai guano 200 pounds, plaster 300 pounds and leaohed ashes 500 pounds, per acre I then threw np beds eight inches, am boarded off to four inches, and com menced planting on the 27th April, usiui the Boyd's prolific seed, procured fror Mr. Beckham, of Richland District, S C. The seed were planted three fe<! apart by a compass in the hill, an covered with the hoe, the plowing to b done only oue way. Thc ootton carno up well, and ns soo as np. I sided closely, then hoed, the throw back tho soil with a plow, un thinned out to ono stalk iu the hill, next run a halt sweep close to thecottor two furrows to tho row, afterwards ra ono furrow to tho row with a sweej breaking out the middles, and followe with tho heos to kill thc grass. In Ai gust, another hoeing was given to "la by" the crop, cotton thon lopping in th row?. The thorough preparation of tl land before planting prevented tho ni oessity of much labor in cultivating til crop. From those five acres wero picke and weighed 12,510 pounds. Til mannre cost us follows: Guano SI plaster $11; ashes $1; stable manure $21 total $82. In competing for the prizo on tho be one acre of cotton, I certify that tl land is the same as the five ucres, au cultivated the samo way, the on difference being in the kind of manu: used, and time of putting it on. Eighty cart loads of stable manure, i a cost of twenty-five cents per load, we: broadcasted and plowed uudor in Marci The laud was thrown up in beds foi foot apart, and tho Boyd prolific t>c( planted in hills three feet apart, coven and cultivated as were tho five acre This singlo aero yielded a much larg crop than thc average of the five acre tho harvest being 3,000 pounds of cot I o with a cost of $20 for manure.?. Yoi obedieut servant, J. M. CRAWFORD. -. THE REAL CAUSE WHY WinrrEMoi WAS EXPELLED.-A Washington corri pondent writes that it is whispered abo in tho innermost circles of negro-wc shippers that Whittemore, after all 1 professions, is actually unsound up tho negro question, that ho docs not I Hove in their equality with tho whiti and that this is tho reason the radio have chopped him. This view recoil somo support from certain phrases us by Whittemore in his defence. Ho sa "Tho colored men were not able to pi an examination at the academies. * Ho could not appoint a loyal coloi boy." Yon muy imagino the indignati of tho Yankees at one who claimed to of them, and who, ot the same time, tho coolest manner, dejied the su riority of the negro. Thc notations Dttwecn tit?

We oononr in them fully and heartily, and wo believe that sousi 1 ble men generally will fully adopt them aa correct and just.' lu his speech in NewjOrleana, the,_ex.-United Status Sena? tor said: , ? You will allow me to speak of one other question whioh is somewhat local and peculiar to ourselves-a question in which we of the State of Indiana shall have to deal, but not to the extent to which you have to deal with it. In one way or another the radicals at Washing? ton intend to have it a fixed faot that the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution bas been adopted. Bight or wrong, they intend it shall be deolared adopted as ?art of the Constitution of the United tates. Under that provision of tue Constitution, then, when it shall have been deolared to have been adopted, the colored people of tho whole country be? come voters; they become clothed with Eolitical rights as they have been before 7 Congressional action; as far as Con gross could do it, clothed with civil rights. It is a question for you to con? sider very carefully what attitude you men of the South shall occupy toward the colored population. There is a deli? berate purpose on the part of adven? turers from the North-a class of men who are desoribed as carpet-baggers to appropriate the entire colored vote of the South to their cause. And what is their canso? It is not your cause; it is not the colored men's cause; it is the cause of plunder. And the question presents itself jost in this form: Are you, men of the South, willing that these ad? venturers sholl appropriate that large vote-in some of the Southern States a majority of the entire vote? Are you willing that this vote shall be appro? priated for such a purpose? [A voice 'Not if we oan help it.'] How can , we help it? Simply enough. It is a ques? tion simply of personal influence be? tween you men of the Sooth "to the manor born," and those who have settled here for the pnrpose of making theil home here, on the one side, and these bap-hazard adventurers of the North, on the other side. That is tho way the question stands. New relations have come to exist between you and the co? lored people of the Sooth. How will you place yourself in regard to those now relations? They have not been ol your seeking, and they may, perhaps, be very disagreeable to you; but the negre is a voter in Louisiana, as he will bo it Indians, if the fifteenth amendment i< declared adopted, and it is not wortl your while, nor is it worth my while, tc go back on tho fixed fact. That travele: in the mountain pass is not wise, whet he is overtaken by the storm, to be cast ing his eyes back upon the plain whici he hos left. It is his business to cousi der the dangers whioh menace him at th< time, to save himself from the th reate ncc peril. How can you do it? These nev i elations are upon you. How are you t< conduct yourselves toward the coloroe people? They were onco your friendi and you wore their friends. There wer sociul relations between you-tho rola tin ns of master and servant. They ha? your confidence aud you had theirs. I it possiblo that tho stranger oan nov como iu and make these ancient servant of yours his servants and your onomy There is no occasion in theso now rela tious which were forced upon you, tba yon should entertain sentiments of dis like to the negro because of it. It wa not of his seeking; be did not prodno this change of relations. Tho altere? condition of things hus been forced oi tba country and ou you, not by th colored man, but by ambitious politi ciaos North and South who wish to ruak capital out of it. ['That's so,' nui cheers.] 1 hopo to seo Southern niei taking this weapon, which is placed ii their hands, and usiug it for their coun try's good. You liavo no causo to cntci tain against the colored people a feelin, of prejudice. ['We won't do it.'] Whe your young mon were far off in the field and even your aged men-many of thet were absent during tho four years of th war-you left theso colored men at you homos, where they stood sentinels at th doors, whero your wives and your chi dren were safe under their protection They labored and cultivated your lands and raised those products which suppori ed the armies in tho field. Aud now, i it possiblo that tho foreigner-I spea not of tho foreigner as a man of anothc couutry, but men foreign to your inte rests, men of other sectious of tho couu try-is it possiblo that they shall come i und make theso colored mon to bato yo and destroy you? Your interests aro th interests of the colored man. A few colored mon may be brougl round the lobbies of tho Legislatur? They may bo temporarily invested wit a few offices; but you go to work an persuado tho colored men that their ir tcrests ure secured by just laws, and b just laws ulone, and that these apparel benefits which are conferred on a fow e their number, do not go to make up th benefits of tho great body of them. Oh them to understand that tho offices whic aro conferred on the colored men hoi and the colored men thero, work a pos tive injustice to the people at large. Li them understand that with regard f their civil rights, you are willing to g? them just laws. The negro, of his ow notion, is not going to ask for soci equality or sooial rights. It ia the Nortl ern adventurer only who is trying agitate that question, to make it ground-work of ill-feeling between y< and tho colored mao. In 1867, Senat Wilson, addressing au audience in tb square, declared this truo doctrine, th no law in any land could open any mar or lo bim, and oil ial [mself . and th? ill be; ?tea andi witl?llic proper ?dat raoes, is the friend the one roy of both races, ment, the colored people . if yon assure them that you will gire them just laws, fairly nduiioistered. Po this, and then the outside adventurer cannot turn their votes against your Let the colored men understand that the le? gislation of your State is not being car- j ried on to make a few men rich at the 1 expense of the great body of the people. Appeal to the colored men to stand by you in your fight for honesty, for jus? tice, for integrity and for equal laws, and that appeal will reach his heart as readily as it reaches the heart of the great body of the white people. I don't want you to oonsider what I have said as the expression of a man who is well in? formed on the subject. I bave never boen brought into close contact with co? lored men to any considerable extent. I don't kuow much of their habits; I don't know much of "the influence brought to bear npon then), but I do boliuvo that tho men who har? known thom from childhood up-the men who hare been their frionda in times past-may, by proper ooureo, restore that influence in themselves which will enable them to secure thc colored voter for tho good of your State and for the good of the coun? try. Let the consolidated sentiment of the men of Louisiana be brought to bear upon tho Legislature and for the right. You ask nothing that is wrong. You ask that yon shall be taxed only for the pub? lic good, and that when tho taxes are collected, the money shall bo expended for the public good, and that the corrupt tide of special legislation shall be stop pod. We have much to accomplish. What is it we intend? That tho Union shall be perpetual, that it shall rest on the Constitution, and that all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the State shall be maintained forever under that government, and that the National Union thus supported by States clothed with ??ll their righto, will be the temple m whioh freemen shall worship forever to? gether. What do we wish to accomplish? No? thing that is wrong-everything that is right. Wo wish to establish iu the United States equal laws and just taxation. These wo must havo. This plunder of tho State and national treasury is becom? ing universal. There must be a return to a spirit of honesty in the public ser? vice, both national and State. There is a power greater than that of law. Daniel Webster, in one of his beautiful orations, when the question was agitating the heart of the world, what treatment Rus? sin would extend to Kossuth, and whe? ther Russia would demand the return of | that patriot vben be was nuder tho pro? tection of Turkey, said thero was a power mightier than the earthquake more terrible than the rumbling of the storm-the judgment of inn uland. Lot us, North and South, unite now for the purpose of maintaining the insti? tutions of our country in the spirit in which they were established by thc great men who founded this Government. THE MORMONS DEFIANT.-Brigham Young, in a speech awhile since, said: "I am tho real Governor of this peo? ple, and, by the powers of the Most High, I will be Governor of this Terri? tory forever and ever. If the Gentiles don't like this, they can leavo and go to hell. Tho Governor of the Territory is useless and can do nothing. If they undertake to try me in a Gentile court, I will see the Government in hell first. I am ready to fight the Government and tho mob. I have soldiers, rifles, pistols, ammunition, and pleuty of it, and can? non, too, and I will use them. I nm on ,it." The second in authority in the Mor? mon Church, Geo. A. Smith, a vice-Pre? sident, hos also said: "A Northern army is a curse. They burned und dostroyed everything in tho South, and abused by force, their women; but let them come hero to abuse the fair women of Utah in like mannor, and nil, both old and youug, will have plenty of arms, and, when they approach, God will fight the battles and thu Saints will bo victorious. Ho said tho United States Government was not at peace; and ho damned it and hoped to BOO it sink into hell; that nothing in tho shape of a free government could stand on North American soil that was opposed to Mor? monism and polygamy." In 1850, the Mormons were 11,380 strong, and in 18G0 numbered 40,273. lu 1850, they had 0,046 males, and in 1808 20,255. Tho ratio of increase since 1800 at least is doubled. The popula? tion of Utah at present is 100,000 soula, of whom 40,000 are men, and 20,000 capablo of bearing arms. Tho area of Mormon territory, governed by Young with despotic sway, is larger than that of New York and Pennsylvania com? bined, and contains moro square miles than all the New England State?, or Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee. It is a mountainous country, full of passes and canons, whero large armies may bo chocked by small forces. If driven from their great city, the Mormons will take to the hills and fight out a la guerrilla, and if Uncle Sam. wants to know what a war to put down polygamy will cost, he can refer to his Seminole experience 'n Florida. But the "cost" is its chief re? commendation. It will put hundreds of millions in the hands of contractors, plunderers and sboddyites. Oh! "this best Government tho world ever saw!"

TnisTtnnnel, which is lighted by ga? jets, bas a covering first of iron and then of brick. The Post, after de? scribing the tunnel, remarks: "She present length of the tunnel is 294 feet and six inohes, and fifty-oight days and ten hours were consumed in constructing it. Tho track is twenty-one feet under the surface of Broadway, and the only circumstance which would iudi? cata that the visitor is under a busy thoroughfare, is the constant rumbling of vehicles overhead. The car is built to conform to the shape of tho tuonel, be? ing semi-oircular in form. It hus com? fortable accommodations for twenty persons. The machinery is of immense power, and of very fino workmanship. "When the tunnel is completed the cars will be propelled by tho suction of the wind, which will bo aroused by an enormous wooden fau. Four men uro continually employed tun nell ti g uud daily dig out four feet nf earth, which is taken to tho surface. The tunneling is done by hydraulio pressure. Tito shield, oval in form, is pressed iu the earth, no dirt being removed except what is ne? cessary for making the hole. "When the road is done, one eau travel from tho Battery to the Central Park in ten minutes. The company at first intended only having it for convoy? ing parcels, bnt soon discovered the utility of running passenger cara. The road iu being built could not run into sewers, for the reason that the line is be? low them." Tho elevated railway in Greenwich street, New" York, is now completed for its entire length, from the Battery to Thirtieth street. The motive power on this road is stationary, sud consists of seven engines, each with two oscillat? ing cylinders, nine inches in diameter and fourteen inch stroke, aud of thirty horse power. These engines are situated in vaults under the sidewalk, and are placed at intervals along the line. The engine for each division turns a driving wheel, which propels au endless rope passing round a cylinder at the other ex? tremity of the section. Attached to thu rope, at distances of 150 feet, are small trucks with diminutive wheels, which run on a wooden track underneath and be? tween the main track. These tracks arc armedj with a small slot to and from which the passenger cars can be attached and detached by a lever in front, nndei the control of the conductor. The pas senger cars ron on eight wheels, and arc built on a frame-work,proteoted by ellip tic springs from the sudden jar of thc rope when the connection is made with the truck. The wheels of the oar are ol wood, with iron tires, and the motion it nearly noiseless. When it is desired tc start the car, thc conductor moves thc lever, which is caught by the first truck, and the car is carried along until the leve: is again detached and the break applier] to the axles. The Portsmouth (N. H.) Sates mu Union gives us this little romuuoo of ? bond-holder-a species of romaneo whicl pervades over community in which bondi ure held: "We know a man-and thorc are thousands of just such cases-who in 1862, had $1,000 in gold. Ho sold i for $2,400 in greenbacks in 18G3. Witl those greenbacks he bought $2,400 ii bonds. These bonds, of course, cos him just $1,000 in gold. For sever years he has drawn six per cent, annu ally, also in gold, on the face of hit bonds. Six per cent., simple interest on $2,400, is $144 per anuum. For th< seven years, it has amounted to Si,008 or $8 more than he invested in thc hrs place, reckoning only simple interest Now, tho Mirror says, pay him the fae of his bonds in gold, or, iu other words pay him $2,400 in gold for what cost bin only $1,000. So now, at tho end o seven years, he receives: Principa $2,400; interest $1,008; total $3,408 ii gold, for what cost him only $1,000. I is a net profit of moro than 240 percent Is that justice? Ia it right?" Let ever; reader nnswer this pair of conundrum for himself. DISASTROUS BOILER EXPLOSION.-Th boiler of the beating furnaco No. 3, a thc railroad iron rolling mill of thc lack uwana iron and coal company of Scran ton, Penn., exploded about half pnst o'cloek Monday.

The riding was as fault? less as it was unapproachable in daring. The gymnastic exeroises were of an order calculated to thrill the beboldor agility in display, combined with au? dacity of execution, forming changing j scenes of intense interest.
