COLUMBIA, S. C. Saturday Morning, April 28.1870.? Reform tn Oar Government. The Anderson Intelligencer, whilst ac? cepting the propositions of the Press Conference, is of the opinion that tho colored voters of the State have not been impressed at all by this recognition, and goes on to pronounce against a Conven? tion, preferring the ..guerrilla" mode of warfare, such as was first suggested by the Chester Reporter. It proposes that each County shall do the best it can. We oannot but regret the conclusion ar? rived at by our ootemporary-located, as it is, in a section of tho State which hus been regarded as the Beat of much of the effective auti-radical power of the State. Wo oannot soe tho wisdom of ignoring ORGANIZATION. It occurs to US, that it is only by a general organization, extend? ing all through the State and embracing all the elements of opposition to tho present regime, that we can make au ef? fective effort in behalf of the reforms we seek in the administration of our public affairs. We earnestly advocate union, action and harmony. And we are ready at the proper time, to sink individual views in order to advance what our poli? tical associ?tes may decido to be the most effective method to rescue our people from the perils of misgovernment and misrule, -fraud and corruption. By ail means, "let us have organization. By all means, if minor differences as to the proper programme prevail, let the pro? posed Convention assemble and let us agree upon a line of political action that shall redound to the relief of the people and the improvement of their condition. We hope that our co temporaries will urge their people to make this Convention n success. "From Grave to Gay-From Lively to Severe." The Charleston Newe says, in ono place- . .'The only danger we apprehend arises from Hie machinations of timorous friends, who have 'accepted the declaration of the Press Conference,' but wbo 'regard the formation of 'the Citizens' Party ns a grand mistake.' United counsels are the essential condition of success. We shall have enough to try our mettle, without having to encounter a fire in the rear." And thus refers to the PHONIX. In another place, it says-what it should havo known before "We are heartily glad to learn that, in placing the Columbia PHONIX in the ranks of the Do-Nothings, wo did that journal a grievous wrong." And thus refers to the PHONIX. In another place, it says "Richland Awake," and thus refers to the PHONIX. We are as indifferent to the assaults as to the "damning with faint praise" of the News. That journal will perhaps yet learn that the PHONIX has its own views, and does not concern itself particularly about tho construction which the News may choose to put upon its line of political action. It discourses about the "machinations of timorous friends," and refers to this journal. We would like to know what is meant by these "machinations?" Does the open and candid expression of viows, looking to the weal of tho State, embrace its idea of "machinations?" If not, and it uses the term in its uncomplimentary sense, thou we aro at a loss to know to what reference is made. PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.-The New York World says: And now wo have tho question of tho representation of minorities discussed in Sooth Carolina, a lecture on that theme having been delivered iu Colum? bia on the night of the 5th inst. Thus goes tho good work; and in time, no doubt, we shall havo the mass of the people sufficiently aroused to forbid Ruch misrepresentation as wo now soo iu Con? gress, where, the people standing 2,G5U, 000 Democrats to 2,990,000 radicals, or as 27 to 30, the House standsovor two radical representatives to every Domo crat. During tho delivery of a lecturo by Mrs. Dr. Mary Walker, iu Kansas, a few days ago, a precocious youth in tho au? dience cried out, "Are you tho Mary that had a little lamb?" "No!" was the ready reply. "But your mother had a little jackass 1" The Marion Star advocates tho erec? tion of a monumeut to tho memory of Isemau Iseman, who so nobly sacrificed his own life during the late tire in that town in his nttompt to save others. Mr. Solomon, dosirous of extensively introducing the "Old Carolina Bitters" it being a most excellent tonic ns well as a pleasant beverage-keeps an urn con? stantly filled on his counter, for tho con? venience of all persons dosirous of test? ing their virtues before purchasing. This preparation has been extensively used by some of the principal families in tho Stato, who guarantee its purity and effi? cacy. In order that the merits of tho "Old Carolina Bitters" shall be fully tested, and every person bo benofitted by thora, Mr. Solomon will give it gratuitously to such persons in ill health as aro una? ble, . from indigent circumstances, to purchase them. Correspondence of Colombia? Phoenix. AUGUSTA, GA., April 21,1870. In company with about 100 Colum? bians, abd large delegations from other portions of the State, as well as North Carolin?, we paid a visit to this beauti? ful City of Oaks, to bo present at the annual meeting o* '.ho Charlotte, Colum? bia and Augusta Railroad. We had a special train for the occasion, every oar of which had been constructed in the company's shops, and were drawn by the locomotivo "Lexington," also the work of their skillful employees. She is a substantially built, perfect piten of ma? chinery, and has been greatly admired by tho machinists of the three cities, which our pet railroad connects. Owing to an obstraction on tho track, below Charlotte, the Lexington received a se? vere jar, which somewhat affected her working powors, so that the train WOB delayed; forced to run out of schedule time, and did not arrive in Augusta until several hours after she was actually due much to the annoyance of Conductor Wolfe and Engineer Gay. On tho in? vitation of Master Mechanic Kline-who accompanied the excursionists-we ac? cepted the engineer's seat; but very soon concluded, that "a pluce in tho picture" not quito so "near the flashing of the furnace-fire, and the smoke and roar of the machinery," was suited to n nervous temperament, and therefore took a back seat. Tho damage to the machine waB repaired shortly ofter the arrival of the train, and the return trip was made "on time" and to the entire satisfaction of all parties. Aa the train crossed Broad street, there was a genoral skedaddle or stampede among tho males, and a foot? race, in which short and tall, lean and stout, vied with eaoh other in their en? deavors to reach the varions hotels, as the opinion correctly prevailed that lodg? ings would he very BCurce. We succeeded in securing the use of a room, (merely to mnko a necessary change of raiment,) at the popular hostelry, the Planters'. This establishment is and has always been regarded one of the principal ho? tels in the South. The attaches are competent and earnest in their endeavors to please; tho rooms aro comfortably furnished; the cuisine the very best, and tho servants attentive. Augusta is certainly a charming old city; the streets are very wide and mauy of them have double rows of water oaks in the middle, besides singlo rows along thc side-walks; the majority of the houses ure built of wood; but there are many elegant private edifices, constructed of moro durable material, which compel ' the beholder to diverge a little from the ! tenth commandment. Summerville-ac? cessible by horse-cars-is a perfect gar don-spot, and many of tho wealthy citi? zens of Augusta have palatial residences, with magm fie en t surroundings. There are excellent ronds in the vicinity, und fast horses and showy vehicles are by no means raro. The weather, during our trip, was particularly fine, and ns tho trees aro now fully decked in their spring livery of various shades of green, the attractions may be conceived. Girardey's Opera Houso has been oc? cupied for several nights by a really fine company of comedians, under thu ma? nagement of Miss Laura Keene; aud on Wednesday night, there was a particu? larly brilliant array-the boxes being filled with ladies in full dress, who, at the conclusion of tho performance, at? tended tho "Convention Ball." This ball was given by the liberal-minded aud hospitable citizens of Augusta to the stockholders of Hie Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, at Masonic Hall, and was, in every respect, a success. Thia city is famous for handsome ladies and ugly men, (Col. Meredith, of course, is au exception,) und on this occasion there was a rally in force, and as there were extensivo reinforcements of fair creatures from South and North Carolina, the bachelor attendants at tho ball occupied a fearful and very precarious positiou; bright eyes flashed in every direction, rivaling the diamonds, which were worn in profusion. We attempted to obtain a list of those ludies who, from the ele? gance of their dresses, or tho beauty of their faces, attracted special admiration; but, after circumnavigating and sailing across tho room several times, pencil and paper were thrown aside-the job being found too difficult of accomplishment, from tho superabundance of material; we, therefore, merely mention a few without specifying whether looks or ap? parel were tho magnets: Mrs. General Wright, of Augusta; Mndame LeVert, of Mobile; Misa Collier and Miss Russel, of Augusta; tho golden-haired Miss Wylie, of tho Palmetto State; the belle of Char? lotte, Miss Myers; Miss Daniels, Mrs. Moses and Mrs. Chichester, of Augusta; Miss Bowell, of New Jersey; Miss Mor? gan, of Augusta, we believe. Dancing was kept up until 3 a. m.-of course, winding up with the ever-popular Virgi? nia Reel. The floor manugers-Messrs. T. S. Morgan, J. K. Evans, W. H. Bar rett, G. A. Whitehead and C. H. Phi nizy-understood their business tho? roughly, and were hero, there and every? where, as occasion required. An elegant supper was provided by W. C. Hewitt, Esq., of the Globe Hotel; and, although tho tablos were filled with hungry mor? tals nt least four times, the supply of good things was constantly kept, up, and No. 800 fared equally UB well ns No. 1. Wo cannot close this rambling docu? ment without returning tho thanks of tho many visitors to the citizens of Au? gusta, for their hospitality. May their city continuo to grow in sizo and pros? perity. V* Instigated by female eloquence, some of tho San Francisco journals havo com? menced the work of shaming men ont of dry goods' stores, restaurants und kitch? ens, as work altogether beneath the dig? nity of tho muscular and superior half of crcatiou. The PreM Conference-Accepting the flit untlon-Ho? o. Once more, Messrs. Editors, shall we ask a space! in your columns, and now ouly briefly to sam np what. we have been endeavoring to say in oar previous articles. Then, sirs, let ns again urge, that oar people, having "accepted thesitnatioo," having with patience and fortitude borne the results of the struggle for their free? dom, our polioy and our dignity alike forbid us actively to meddle with the gt eat problem now demanding solution in our midst. True, wo aro vitally inter? ested in that solution, and possibly, if the war had not taken pluoe we might have influenced tho result to a greater degree-that we could huve deferred the issue, we do not believe. As it is, we must stand quiet lookors-on upou the experiment which is making in our midst, and at our cost; intiuenciug it only by a passive resistauce, which, like the inertia of mechanics, may yet prove stronger than the forces now so actively engaged against us. This is the result of the war-a war in which he who took the humblest part may glory-and we abide by it. Our fuith in tho righteousness of our cause is not shaken, nor can we permit ourselves to lend a helping hand in join? ing togethor what wo believe the God of nations iutended to separato, to unito under ono government, as one people, those upon whom He has set His seal of difference. We believe that this will yet be a government of our people, a coun? try of our race. How and when, we can? not tell. Now we see the descendants of sa vpges, who, captured by their own coun? trymen, were only saved from being the slaves of other savages, or tbe food of their captors, by their purchase and transportation to this country-wo see the descendants of these people, whom their slavery through generations had. it was supposed, cou verted from heathens into Christians, taught the arts of civili? zation, and raised to a lovel never at? tained by their own people in their own laud, but who since their freedom have gradually been fulling back towards the state of their ancestors, both as heat lieus and savages-these people we see dark? ening the whole Southern Atlantic aud Gulf ooasts, on the one hand, and on the other the yellow heathen, who is not a savage, pouring in countless hordes upon the Puci?o coast, und between the two wo find tho remnant of tho red mun at war with all. Aud with all the^o va? rious people in her border, the Govern? ment at Washington announces that Un/ "rights of citizens of tho United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by tho United States or by any State, on account of race, color or previous condi? tion of servitude." We may well be troubled iu our sleep, and, like Nebuchadnezzar of old, behold a vision; and ns his vision, when inter? preted, was only a history that was yet to be, and as history repeats itself, we, too, may behold a vision. And our vis? ion shall be "a great i'i<age, whoso brightness shall be excellent and the form thereof terrible. This imago's head shall bo fine gold, his breast aud his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs cf brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay." Aud iu our dream we, too, may look till we see "a stone cut without bauds smite the imago upon his feet, that are of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces." And, thou, may we behold "the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold broken iu pieces together, and becomo like the chaff of the summer threshing floors, aud tho wind carrying them away that no place may be fouud for them." Unliko the king of old, we will not need an interpreter, to make known unto us the dream, and tell us that this head of fine gold was the Government of the United States as established by our fore? fathers, and that after it came the go? vernments of silver and brass, the times of prosperity that hardeued men's hearts, and that then arose the fourth government, "strong ns iron : forasmuch as irou bronketh in pieces and subdueth all things, and that as iron that breaketh all these it hath broken in pieces and bruised." "And that whereas we saw iron mixed with miry clay, they have mingled them? selves with the seed of men, but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay." For ourselves, wo aro willing to wait for tho stone cut without bauds, that shall "break in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold," und iu the meanwhile passively to sub? mit ourselves to that government which God has permitted to be established over us, and which, in His own way, is work? ing out His own purposes.

THE IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.-Tho cpuestiou of supplying the Southern country with a white population has oc? cupied the minds of all interested in her welfare ever since the abolit ion of slavery. So far, however, nothing practical has resulted from any efforts at its solution. In this Stnte we have been especially unfoilunate. The well-organized sys? tem established by the Legislature of 18?5, under the efficient management of General John A. Wagoner, was com? pletely upset, aud all the progress it had already made rendered nugatory by the change of government; and tho efforts of individuals aud private societies have been restricted, for want of means, to a very narrow compass. At last, however, wo have a brighter prospect. A conven? tion is to be held iu Charleston on tho third of next month, for the purpose of devising means to bring about the all-to be-desired influx of population from abroad. The class of gentlemen, whose uames are annouueed from the various Districts of the State, as delegates to tho couveution, aud the enlightened views in regard to this subjeot generally, which have recently beeu promulgated through tho public prints, lends us to ?believe that this convention must result in great practicul good, and that the era of white immigration to the South is about to dawu. The arrangements for the convention are aunouueed in detail in un advertisement which appears in another column. CRUMBS.-Messrs. Hudson Sc Menet have furnished us a copy of their "An? nual" for 1870, which contains, in addi? tion to a list of newspapers and periodi? cals published in tho United States, a large amount of statistical information. It is published at 41 Park Row, New York. Gov. Scott has appointed John M. Miller, Esq., Notary Publio for Richland County; Dr. Henry F. Herriott, Health Officer for tho Port of Georgetown, vice Dr. J. M. Carr, removed. Punchinello hus for a cartoon "Our National Game," a representative darkey having "dis chile's innings" with a bat labelled fifteenth amendment. Another, labelled sixteenth amendment, is in the hands of a fair one waiting for "her turn next." It would doubtless provo wise to plant rapidly-growing trees where gates may be required, to serve for gate-posts. A writer in the Journal of the Farm thiuks u tree is the best of all gate-posts. Tho Commissionerof Internal Revenue has decided that a hearse is subject to a revenue tax, being "a four-wheeled car? riage, having its body resting on springs, and kept for uso and hire." Of course, the undertakers will collect tho tax from "tho mun inside." If this sort of thing goes on, it will soon bo so expensivo to get oneself "planted," that a poor man can't afford to dio.
