COLUMBIA, S. C. ,?i ? ? ;--S--.-?- ' ? Friday Morning, May 6. 1870. Tb,? Samtband Blannfaeturca. The New. York Tribune soys: "It will not bo possible to keep the Sooth forever pr od uni ug raw staples and exchanging- these for metala and oapau fuctureo. That was the dictate of slavery ; it does, not comport with the wants and aspirations of a laboring class, which, already freo, aspires to bo intelligent end ingenious. Already Bichmond, Nash? ville and Atlanta, ore giving attention to manufactur?s. The new Mouth nt eds better implements and more machiner j than did the' old South, and she is be? ginning to make them. She wants fur? niture in her laborer's cabins, where tables, chairs and bedsteads were un? known till late; and she is about to make them. She needs iron and other metala, and, having ore and coal in abundance, she is beginning to dig and smelt with rigor. Virginia, Missouri, North Caro? lina, Tennessee, Alubama, West Vir? ginia, will produce more pig iron in 1870 than their aggregate product prior to 1666. j And this is but a beginning." Tho Tribune ia right for once. It will bo impossible to keep the South forever simply a producing section. She will aqon.s?o.that she can manufacture as well an-product), and reap as much profit from, tho former aa the latter industry. That period is not a distant -one when the, Southern producer, with whom even ''?p^mbaclc*'' are .now scarce, will have gold* ana as there will be no negroes to buy, h.lo surplus will bo invested in ma -nnfuoturing, railways, and other enter? prises dovejoping the resources of the South. -Naught but some providential calamity can prevent this, and ero the third of a century shall poss, the South will ba the successful rival of the North in manufacturing, and in this she will be aided in an early beginning by capi? tal even from New England. We notico that capitalists now in Eastern cities have finally, got tired of holding most of the ourrenoy idle and without interest, and a marked activity begins to mun if est itself in bonds, railway shares and stocks generally. It is estimated that New York alone will have $150,000,000 to invest daring the coming three months, and if priceSv?f. grain and cotton advance, the public may witness a rebound from the present business depression, and a lively time generally. The Western States are full of wealth; but they lack currency and a market. A few millions of money put afloat would revive every department of industry and trade, and a few mil? lions pat afloat in the South, indications of which are apparent, will inaugurate that "beginning" to which the Tribune refers in the close of its article. ? ? _---? ? ? ? The reported plot against the lifo of the Emperor Napoleon will be discredit? ed in oomo quarters, but there is certain? ly nothing tn the present position of affairs to render such a conspiracy im? probable. The Emperor has many ene? mies, end -just now they are unusually active. Attempts to destroy his life, however, have only tended thus far to fortify Napoleon iu his fatalistic theories. After every attack of the kind, the object of it has made it apparent to the world, that he oooupied a stronger position than before. In the remoter rural districts, the people have been encouraged in the idea that the Emperor somehow bears a charmed life. The truth of the adage that "threatened men live long," has never been more strikingly exemplified than in the case of Napoleon III. The plot now described is evidently to be classed among those which injured only the aathors of it. The following is a copy of a bill to re? lieve all persons engaged ia the rebellion from the disability imposed by the four? teenth amendment of the Constitution, introduced by Seuator Robertson, on the 28th ult., and referred to the Select Com? mittee on the Removal of Political Dis? abilities: Be it enacted, ?Oe., That all persons ex? cept as hereinafter excepted, subject to any disability imposed by the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution of the United States, are hereby relieved from such disability: Provided, nevertheless, That tho following dusses of persons are excepted from tho provisions of this Act, that is to say: First-AU persons who, being mem? bers of the Congress of tho United States, withdrew from their seats and aided the rebellion. Second-All persons who, being of? ficers of the army or navy of tho United States, loft said army or navy and aided the rebellion. Third-All persons who were members of State conventions which adopted pre? tended ordinances of secession. A destructive fire occurred at Carters ville, Ga., on Wednesday last, destroy? ing a block of buildings on the left of the railroud, and just in tho reur of the Westeru and Atlantic depot. The build? ings owned ns follows: Two stores ly Judge J. R. Parrott, ono by Col. Lewis Tn nilli), one by Mr. John Campbell, one by Mr. A- Collins, and one by Mr. John Jones. In pockot-picking, as in almost every thing else, a man never succeeds uutil he gets his hand in. The IfMtnl?roilon Convention. SECOND DAT. The Convention assembled at ll o'clock. The following gentlemen were, on motion, appointed a Oommittee ou Land: Messrs. J. Hi Scriven, ex-Gov. J. L. Manning, J. D. Aiken. Hon. G. A. Trouholm, J. D. Kennedy, Rev. T. S. Boinest and B. F. Whitner. The Committee on Immigration, by their Chairmr.n, Col. J. P. Thomas, made a favorable report on the communication of Mr. A. Y. Lee, and recommended that the project of Mr. Lee be endorsed by the convention and recommended to tho consideration of the public. Adopted. The same committee, to whom was re? ferred the general subject of immigra? tion, und all papers relating thereto, made u lengthy and very comprehensive report; wbioh was received ns informa? tion, and ordered lo lie upon the tublo for future consideration. Tho Committee on Cotton Manufac? tures, by their Chairman, Colonel J. B. Palmer, of the Saluda Factory, Colum? bia, made an interesting report, the reading of which was frequently iuter rnpted by applause. On motion, it was adopted. A member of tho Committee on the Hygiene of South Carolina stated that an able au elaborate report on that sub? ject had been prepared by the distin? guished chairman of the committee. Dr. Eli Geddings, but that owing to ita length, and the physical infirmity of that gentlemen, he would move to dispense with the reading, and that it be pub? lished in the proceedings of tho conven? tion. Agreed to. Tho Oommittee on Scientific Educa? tion, by their chairman, Hon. Russell Middleton, made a report, which wai? ro ad and ordered temporarily to lie upon the table. Dr. F. P. Porcher, from tho Commit? tee on Flora, stated that a report on the subject had beeu prepared, i but re? quested tb ut further time should be allowed for its consideration by thc committee. Agreed to. Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm stated that thc following resolutions had been adoptee by the South Carolina Railroad Cumpa ny, and he bad been delegated to sub mit them to tho convention. Resolved, That if the oommittee fine that the lunds of the company are suita ble for cultivation, they be authorized tt say to tho convention that so far ns sait lands ure concerned, this company i willing to unite in a general scheme under which luud shall be provided ot liberal terms for emigrants coming tt occupy and cultivate the same. Mr. Trenholm observed that the Hbo rality of the proposition was such, thu it went to the extent of bestowiug npoi tho immigrant the alt?rente lands of th company without charge. Resolved, That whenever a reliabl company ahull be formed for the estti blishmeut of a permanent line of steam ers between Charleston and a first chi? European port, to consist of not les than four8hips, it shall be tho int?r?t and duty of this company to subscribe t the stock of such steamsVp company t a fair extent: Provided, i'ipat the sam shall not exceed 825,000 to each steamet and provided, that no part of such sut Hoription shall be made until other sui soriptiou8 shall be made snfficient t build nt least one steamer. Resolved, That if a proposal to fori such a company bo brought under tl: consideration of the Convention on In migration, the delegates of this com pan be authorized to oommunicato tho abo\ resolution to the convention. Resolve/I, That tho President of th company communicate this resolution I tito President of the Georgia Ruilron and connecting roads, and ask their ci operation in this matter. Ou motion of Mr. J. H. Sere ven, tl first resolution was referred to the Cot: mittee on Lands, and the second resolt tion was referred to the Committee c Direct Trade. On motion of Col. J. P. Thomas, tl report of tho Committee on Immigrath wus taken from the table and made tl special order for ll o'clock to-morrow m. Ho observed that some gentlemt bud expressed a belief that the couve tion would adjourn to-morrow, but J hoped such a thought would not be e tertained. We are here, ho said, in great work. We are breathing nu indu trial air, which, in the genttiue sense the term, will regenerate our blood ai bono and sinew. We aro on the nm adumized road wbioh leads to tho tn reconstruction of South Carolina; and three, or four, or five days moro aro i quired to perfect the graod undertakii which we have commenced, let UH, citizens having common hopes aud cot mon aims, devote ourselves faithfully the labors before us, assured thut ' shall be amply repaid in the future. Mr. Brawley, of Chester, said thc was ono phase of the question of i mn gration which he thought the committ bad not as fully considered as its i m pt tance demanded. The State, in its leg lution of 180*5, had created a comm sioner of immigration, aud provid funds for the purposes of his ofHc Those fuuds bad buen judiciously t pended, ns he was informed, and t commissioner, with ull the energy of 1 nature, had sought to direct forei] j immigration to the State; yet the res I was comparatively fruitless. Au assn j atioti of private individuals bad bc organized for a similar purpose, a doubtless they, too, had used every < cition to secure their object, but, so ns ho had been informed, their efib were likewise fruitless. Doubtless tin was a causo for Uns. It might ex abroad or at home, but if wo have i sufficient attractions for the Europe immigiuut, is it not our duty to cast c eyes around ns-at home, hero in Ac rica, and hold out snch inducements the farmers of tho North and West, would bring them, with their eapil into our midst? Those who live on I line of the Charlotte Railroad have bc struck with the large number of p sons, generally farmers of limited mea - who daily arriva on a prospecting toar through tho South. Already a conside? rable number of thia hardy and enter? prising .ola**, were in oar midst, and there was no reason why, extending the right hand of fellowship to them, and holding out ii beroi e n cou rage mee*, to their friends ard neighbors at home, we might cot obtain au accession of agricultural strength, which wonld secure to us much that we seek from tho foreigner. Penn? sylvania, New Jersey nud New York were already liberally represented among the farmers of South Carolina, and thousands of others would doubtless follow, but for the expense of traveling and difficulty of transportation. These drawbacks must be removed, nud when the path is olear, the country will be filled with a populatiou thrifty, industri? ous aud influential, because they will communicate by example tho secret of successful culture. They will be practi? cally identified with the soil, and being so, thus will remain in our midst, and work out with us the problem of our future welfare. Mr. T. Q. Clemsou, of Pendleton, said ho fully agreed with the remarks of the preceding speaker. His experience with immigrants, secured by his own exer? tions, had not been satisfactory, aud he believed that what was true of the indi? vidual would provo true of the multi? tude. There were various reasons why tho foreigner would not bo .satisfied iu South Carolina, unless surrounded by a community of his own people; but to the Northern mun, industrious, able aud intelligent, the field of usefulness was almost beyond limit. Ernigratiou tra? veled in latitudes, io isothermal lines, and it was not practicable to change the current in a day. The West was a com? petitor too powerful to be suddenly van? quished, and the agencies abroad, cover? ing as they do every town of importance, would prevent the completo success of any movement that might be contem? plated in that directiou, uutil the public sentiment of Europe fastened upou the South os it was uow di">ctud to other regions of the country. Mr. Brawley offered the following reso? lution, which was adopted. Resolved, That tho Committee on Im? migration report to the Convention the most feasible means to insure immigra? tion from th? North. M. J. K. Vnuce, of Abbeville, moved that a special committee of three be ap? pointed to report whether it is desirable to introduce Chinese labor iu the State, and if so, to suggest tho cheapest aud most practical method of doing so. Adopted. Committee-J. K. Vance, John Townsend, and Wm. Wallace. LYNCH LAW-A GANG OP DESPERADOES H HO K KN UP-FIVE OF TUE GANO SUOT DEAD.-A correspondent informs the New Orleans Times that on Sunday, 24th inst., the oitizens of New Autluutu, iu Winn Parish, arrested and shot John lt. West, David Frame, Grow Thompson, a mau by the name of Collins, aud one named Ingram. The well-known Law? son Kinibrel, (brother to Wm. Kimbrel, killed by Geu. MoGhithan,) was shot down for dead, but the ball only scalped him, and he made his escape. The cause of the difficulty is stated as fol? lows: It appears, that some time before Gen. McGlaotnan killed William Kim? brel, a man named David Deen joined this gang of desperadoes. Subsequently, however, he quit them, and gave in? formation which incensed them against him so highly that he was forced to leave the parish iu order to save his life. He took refuge in Mississippi, where he re? mained some time- On his return to the parish, he brought his father and mother with him; but he hud not beeu at home long before the fact became known to his enemies, who immediately made a coffiu, hunted him np% and arrested bim, leaving three of their uumber to guard him. Tho citizens, hearing of his peril, at once banded themselves together, re? leased Deen, and succeeded in capturing the whole gang, who, by their threats, ?o excited thc crowd, that ?hey shot them down os stated above. These men are represented to bo of the most desperate character, had been engaged in a nefari? ous trade, aud had beeu frequently ar? rested and indicted by tho grund jury of the parish. ARREST or NORRIS, THIS Mini TAB Y SHE? RIFF OF WARREN COUNTY.-We uro in? formed that tho military authorities iu Warren County, at 12 o'clock on Tues? day night, arrested J. C. Norris, the military Sheriff of Warren County. We understand that after his arrest, lie waa placed in irons, aud was yesterday to liave boen consigned to jail. Tho spe? cific charges upon which he was arrested, are not communicated, but it is said that bis owu friends ure the main cause, (he wouklu't divide profits,) and that they have, however, only precipitated by their action what would have been ac? complished by other parties. Au aveng? ing fate, sooner or later, overtakos the tyrannical oppressor, and though the mills of the gods grind slow, they grind exceedingly fine. [ vi up usia Conslitttlionalist. FIRE.-About 1 o'clock ou tho after? noon of Wednesday, the 20th ult., the resideuce of the late George Steele, in this town, was found to ho on fire. The tire eugine was speedily taken to the spot, but was out of order, from disuse, and would not work after hoing filled with water. About half of the furniture, to? gether with the sashes and doors, wee saved. Tho fire was purely accidental, aud is supposed to have originated in a room on tbe basement, which was thou iu use for ironing. The loss is probably between $6,000 and 88,000, ou which thoro is uo insurance. [ Yorkoille Enquirer. "Can you return my lovo, my dearest Julia?" "Certainly, I dou't want it, I am sure."

EMIGRANTS COMINO SOUTH.-A Btcnmer arriving ut Now York from Liverpool, on Mouday, brought 1,220 passengers-. Of these a large number were English and Scotch farmers, who were on their way to settle in Virginia, each bringiug euough money to commence operations uuder favorable circumstances. THE DAMIEN CANATJ.-Reports from the expedition to survey a route for a canal across tho Isthmus are unfavora? ble. All tho routes yet exuraiued are pronounced impracticable. Others ore to be explored, but the indications do not promise more favorable results. Lady Lopez, tho mother of two mem? bers of the British Parliament, wus burned to death ou tho 20th nit., ut ber country seat nt Frome, England. Her musliu dress took tiro while she was alone in her room. Tho deceased was seveuty years old. In order that tho merits of tho "Old Carolina Bitters" shall be fully tested, and every person bo beuefitted by them, Mr. Solomon will give it gratuitously to such persons in ill health as are nua? ble, from indigent circumstances, to purchase them. THE WINNEPEO REHELIIION.-Tho Ca nadiau Government bas sent 10,000 sol? diers to suppress the Wiunepeg revolt. From this it is plain that the movement is not considered a slight thing in the esteem of the power set at defiauee. A colored debating society at Massie ville, Ohio, are going to discuss the following: "Resolved, That Jeff. Davis und Cabinet have done moro for the emaucipation of the colored race thau a linken and cnbiuet." General Forrest denies having said there are 40,000 Ku Klux in Tennessee, ns reported in tho testimouy of Gover? nor Sen ter before the Reconstruction Committee. Hildebrand, tho Missouri bushwhack? er, has gone to tho Red River country to take a baud in tho coming tight with tho Britishers. Oliver Wendell Holmes says thal widows who cry easy nro first to marry again. There is nothing like wetweatbei for transplanting.

Appleton & Co., are worth to embody the events in the lifo of oi of the most remark able, men produce in New England during the last fifi years. The work ia edited by Georj Tieknor Curtis, one of the Literary E editors of Webster's, himself an ab man and good writer.
