COLUMBIANS. C. Tuesday Morning, March 8, ?87U. Stand by thc Stat?. We observed in tho Charleston papers of a recent dato, that a party of yoong mon of that city had gone to seek their fortunes in one of the South American States. We regret to read of an inci? dent like this. We appreciate fully how disadvantageous are many of the circum? stances surrounding us in South Caro? lina. We feel as deeply aa any ono tho burdens of the situation, which oro tho more grievous because they affect at once onr tastes, our sentiments and our interests. That a proud and prosperous community should have been mado to pass nuder a moro galling yoko than Borne, even in her imperial pride, ever imposed npon conquered provinces-this is a hard fate. In it, we see tho exqui? site mental and moral torture devised by a Butler, a Stevens and a Sumner. It is the act of one who basely strikes r brave -though fallen foe. It is the Pi ritan wreaking his vengeance upon the cr u lior. AU this is hard to bear, and like the French officer who, after Waterloo, broke his sword and turned away from the lost field, many a high-strung soo of South Carolina, filled with loathing and disgust, and wounded in his State pride, is disposed to give qp the causo and indig? nantly break the chain of devotion that binds him to his nativo State. This feeling is natural. But wo submit that it is neither wise nor patriotic. The sentiment we may excuso, but when this sentiment is followed by tho act of expa? triation, we cannot approve it. Hence, the point wo desire to make is this-that it is our duty to stand bj South Carolina. We must not givo up the State. It is the State of our birth, and it contains the graves of our dead. It is filled with tho monuments which LOVE and HONOB have raised to those who have paid, in a quiet way, tli9 debt of nature, or have died in tho civil ser vice, or have fallen upon tho field oi battle. Furthermore, there are man) men and women, widows and orphans, young and old, poor and rich, high ant low, who cannot go hence, if they would And shall the young and vigorous- shul the young meu of the State-leavo then to struggle, without their aid, for tin political showing and influence now with held by wrongful legislation? They can not do it. As a general thing, we fee that they witt not do it. But it is not duty alono that dernaud of our people that they should notaban don Carolina. We aro suro that thc self exiled man may easily go farther am fare worse. What has been the experi ence of those who have tried Mexico nm Brazil? Bitter. They have returnei home bettor and wiser citizens. It is tm that in these Southern States, where th inexperience and prejudice of the negro for the present, control our politics to large extent, the prospect is not iuvitiu and the situation is fur from suiting th tastes of 1? white mau. But wo havo rar material advantages io South Curolinn We have a genial climate, and a tee in in soil. We have admirable water-powci We have the means und the materials fe many forms of manufactures. Wo hav railroads, and sea-ports and un ensy nc cess to the markets of the country. NV have the great staples, cotton and rici We can raise wheat, oats, rye, corn an other cereals. We have gold mines, iro mines and phosphutie deposits. We lav a brave, spirited, virtuous and persevei ing people-whites-and a body of ci lored people, who, if left to theniselvi and to honest influences, would bo di. posed to go to work and harmonize wit the whites upon thc basis of civil an political equality bofore tho laws-no denied to them by none in South Cir? lina. Theso aro great advantages. If Cm iu his providence has permitted ot conquerors lo inflict much of lons ?in indignity upon us, bohns left to us man elements for tho building up of a r< newed power. Wo repeat it, then--an would our words could penetrate tl boort of cvory honest Curoliua whit man in tho Stute--it is our sacre.1 dal to stand by this ancient State. Ju l! spirit of a noblo PERSEVERANCE-in tl spirit of au indomitable RESOLVE-"lin column of true majesty in mau"--v must go manfully to work und restoi this State to tho control of wiso and ri tnous elements. To this work of polit cal reform and industrial expansion, 1 the Democracy of tho State-iu its coi test with the power of radicalism-ded cate its best efforts. Let no genuii Carolinian fail us in this groat work i regaining and building up our eantr State. It seems to us that uo young Cur linian can propose to himself a nobl work, of a public nature, than this, wit: by peaceful moans, to retake h State. Above all, amid our darkened fortune whilst bad men rois, and heavy taxes ara laid, nud the public ?ands are squandered, nd whilst Nero's fiddle whilst Borne is burning-let the devotion of theJkrueson of Carolina not grow cold. Let bim oherish the sentiment and imitate the deep fervor of the Jewish patriot, as be exclaimed, iu tho depth of his feeliug, which llaliy lo nish captivity could not ehill : "If thoo, Jerusalem, 1 foi g ot. Skill part from my right hand. My tongue to my mouth's roof let cleave. lt I do thee forget. . Jerusalem, and thee, above My chief joyr do not set." Wo know that there aro men who seem averse to further effort iu behalf of po? litical change in the State, and who up pear to bo inclined to assume that the field is lost. But we tell them that all is not lost, and that good citizenship de? mands other efforts at their bunds. To the motto of POLITICAL, BEFOHM und IN? DUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT, let the sentiment of NE VE ii DESPAIR be added. "Hear, Alfrod, hero of tho State, Thy genius Heaven's high will declare; The motto of the truly great, Ta never, nceer to despair, IS S KV LU TO HESTA Ul. " Tlte Offer ot tbe Times. In an article on the completion of "re? construction," the New York Times says, in reference to the country : "A grand future confronts it, and if the North nnd the South would but real? ize their mutual obligations, and temper their political and social intercourse with moderation and a realizing sense of a common destiny, all would be well." We accept the offer of the Times. Wo are now in the Union. Nolens volens, wo of tho South aro part and parcel of the country. Being so, wo aro interested in the country's future, and we desire to uoite with good men in all sections, iu order to have a country where the liber? ties of the citizen and his industrial in? terests nre maintained and guarded. We ure disposed to temper with moderation our political and social intercourse with the North, and to realise tho sense of a common destiny. But in ordor to bring about that fraternal accord which thc Times professes to desire, it must also realize obligations and do much temper? ing. It must change the programme of its party and of itself. It must recog? nize in tho so-called "rebels" of tho South its peers, and it must not allow its tender regard for the black South to ruako it overlook tho claims of tho ich ito South. - ? ?i ? ? THE CUBAN CAUSE-OBX. QUESADA'H ACCOUNT OP THE SITUATION.-According to the news brought by Gen. Quesndu and his staff, and published in the New York papers, Aquilora is still Secretary of State, and is a candidate for Vice President of the Republic, tho election for which positiou is soon to tnke placo. Izagnirre had given up the Treasury, and it is probable that C. Mola would bc named to succeed him, though the Pre? sident had declared that he would not accept tho former's resignation. It is a fact that the President married, some four months 'ago. a sister of General Qnesada. Congress is mainly composed of mem? bers who voted the constitution, and its number has been increased to twenty five. The Marquis of Santa Lucia pre? sides, but his health is bad, and recent deaths in his family prevent his constant attendance upon the sessions. Jordan is commander-in-chief; Agra monte is second in command. There are four brigades and two squadrons of cavalry; the latter under thc command of Julio Sanguily. The other commanders ?ire: C. Porro, of tho brigade of the North; M. Agramonte, of tho brigade of the West; P. Recio, of the brigade of tho South; Cols. Mola and Lope Recio com? mand the brigade of the East. The mi? litary scale comprises the grndo of general of division, lieutenant-general and bri gadier-goneral. The word major-general denotes n ch ago, not a grade-Ignacio Agramonte fills that position in Caria Riley, Marmol, tho same iu tho Eastern | department, and Cavada is major-general of tho Cinco Villas. General Qnesada's party report that all the departments of the government are working well, and thero is a great abundance of almost everything. Cloth? ing is somewhat scarce among tho poor. There is plenty of salt, which 13 nu arti? cle sometimes difficult to timi. Powder is being manufactured at the rate of fifty pounds per day, and is of the best qua? lity. Nitre is obtained by un ingenious method: Tt is extracted from the excre? ments of bats, which aro found in tho caves. The powder is good, but a suffi? cient quantity is not now being mudo for tho uso of the army. Fire-arms aro being manufactured and repaired in numerous shops, but there are many thousands wantitig arms. With only small addi? tional resources, tho Cubans could act upon tho aggressive, and drive out the Spaniards forever from the island. TUB LAST SUGGESTION.-That tho vessel whidh collided with tho Oneida was not the Bombay, but some other steamer, which suffered so severely by the shock as not only to be incapacitated from rendering auy assistanco to the war slcuiner, but which also shared with tho Oneida in her ocean grave. Another agrarian crinio is reported in Ireland. Patrick Dunn, of Kiog'.sCoun? ty, waa shot and killed for retaining his holding in spite of rppnared menaces. Tho murderers were not discovered. Boulwell has assured Revels that ho shall bo allowed to take out his share of pationugo in official appointments for colored meu. - . . - - "--(rn iiVilifiiiiiit^i Corrcationdocto? Celans*!*?

Re? construction bas taken the placo of many important billa and monsuros, suffering for the ?ant of Congressional consideration, and already there is talk that it may bo necessary to extend this session iuto September or October, and taking a short recess of a four weeks in July or August. Tbe ouly hopo tho Postmastor-Oenoral hus that tho Senate will take np tho bill which hus passed tho Ilouso for thc abo? lition of the fm uki np: privilege, is, t hut iu enso this bill pasftes, that a reduction of ?li'tl or postage will follow. It is ru? mored that Souator Sumner is now pre? paring a bill which will enact that letter postage bo reduced from three to om' cont. Gov. Bullock, of Georgia, submitted a lengthy argument before the Semite Ju dioiury Committee yesterday, maintain? ing Ibero should be no half-way ground taken in tho Georgia matter; that either the Government of Georgia is provi? sional to-day, or the action of Cnugrest iu passing tho Act of December 22, 1?69, and the President's assigument of Geu. Terry to duty ns district oomtuandci under the reconstruction laws, cannot bo defended. lie assumes that tho Aol assuring that the Legislature had novel boen legally organized, placed the Statt nuder tho reconstruction laws. This Georgia muddle is exoitiog a great deu of interest, affording auothor occasiot for an honest, but vasily and importan differences of opiuiou, and consequently excuses for a number of loug-windee speeches. Tho post pott emont of action i ti tin Seuato upon the nomination of Mr Bradley for tho Supremo Court bench uutil tho 21st inst., is considered suffi ciently indicative of a disposition of th Senate to afford timo for t he passage o tho bill reported by tho Seuato Indiciar; Committee for etnbrucing Mississippi Texas and Ajkausos iu ono judicial dis trict. In tho Senate executive sessiou yestei day, the President's father was confirm ed postmaster of Covington, Ky. Revels, the colored Senator from MU sissippi, prescuted on tho first instant, memorial from the colored mon of Phill dolphin, for tho passage of a bill t secure to all persons the cq.ial protectio of tho laws. From this it seems thu Sumner's occupation "has gone."

Now that they have colored "Moses," their white ono mu: of necessity givo way. Beforo the cadetship inves*ignlio oom mit too yesterday, we io one wit ne; in Golladay'u case, and two in Butler' Nono of the witnesses testified to an; thing to tho injury of either party. I tho ouse of Butler, ono of tho witness? stated that there was no mouey talked < when Butlor appointed the cadet, bi that afterwards money wus sent int Butler's district to use iu tho Stoki campaign. The ouly thing appeariii agaius Golladay, in tho premises, is h basto in resigning, which is considere by some a prima facie ovidencc of guil Golladay has written to his district, tb he is a candidate for ro-clcction. The most abject-looking subject v have seen for many a day, is tho carpe bagger, John T. Dewees, of North C roliua. He sold his cadetship to a sr of Mr. I.'eau, a hotel keeper in Wasbin ton, but finding the committee lu traced the matter oat, and that expt sion was inevitable, he endeavored better the matter by refunding to M Bean, the $500 which ho received as consideration. But this was too late, course, the intent was evident; the dei hud bocu committed. He lost his 850 mid then fouud himself at the necessi of having to telegraph bis resignation his Governor. Dewees stepped into a very nice litl place as a moiuber of Congress from good old State, but was too grasping retain it. We saw him the day he i signed, ho wai walking down tho stn with what we presumed to bo a frien and ho had every ap pea rn nco of goii to the gallows. Wo do not menu to sa tho friend was takiug him there, but will bc understood, there are very fi friends who would object to taking stroll with ono in that direction when is in trouble. As for our individu selves, wo felt (although a friend) li walking away from him, for we do bate to soe misery and distress, and < peciully so, when they aro counectud wi Unbolted corruption. It is consoling to think that tho coi mitten havo not been able to serious implicate any Democratic member iu I *ule of oadetsbips. It is true, that 1\ Grolladay, of Kentucky, resigned bef? tho investigation was completed, I: they have fouud no evidence agaii ?lim, although it has boon iudnstrioin ind eagerly sought for, since ho ceas to be a coomber of tho Houso.

HOMO. BOILER EXPLOSION IN THE Sincans THESE MEN KILLED-DAMAGE TO PRO? PERTY/.-On Saturday moruiug about 4 o'clock, the engineor and ?remen of the works of tho Charleston Mining and Manufacturing Company, about twelve miles from tho city, came to their death under the following circumstances: Fire had been made iu a boiler attached to n washer used for cleansing the pbosphntic nodules and a pressure of about fifty pounds of steam raised, when two of the Hues collapsed, an explosion ensued, which shattered the surrounding build? ings and fences, aud by which the engi? neer and two colored firemen lost their lives. The engineer, Mr. Earnest Gar? rick, was instantly killed and tho body of a colored mun, Benj. Bi vers, was found about forty yards from where thc boiler stood, horribly mnngled. Ho wus ougaged in prepariug his father's breakfast, near the boiler, winn tho ex? plosion occurred. Benjamiu Burnell, another colored man employed about the place, iras badly injured. Ho was brought to the city and placed in the i hospital, where ho died yesterday morn It was fortunato that tho accident did not occur au hour later, as it would have endangered the lives of some thirty or forty persons, who were at tho time ab? sent from tho works. Tho bodies of the victims to this nu I fortunate catastrophe were brought tu i the city, where Coroner Whiting held an j inquest. Tho circumstances elicited al I the investigation are substantially tin same as given abovp. A verdict of ac cidental death was returned.

This is emphatic. The Pope mus j now choose between disappointment am i revolution. What ho will do in this di lemma ia uncertain; but ho appears con i fident of his ability to carry the propo isition for infallibility.
