COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Morning, May 27,1870. S?lt-Rell*ri4e~-Tb.e Subit?neo vs. tile Shadow. lu this Southland, the tendency ever has been in oar people too much to for? get the virtue of self-reliance. It may bo that the institution of African Blavery had this effect upon the charaoter of the Southern people. It was in the late war between the States, that the South re? ceived its first stem bat wholesome les? son on this point. The people of the South first thought that their Northern political allies wonld como to their aid in the issue they had resolved to make. This dream was broken, when tho people of the North rose en masse to uni to in the war against us. Next, it was confidently hoped and believed that, under the presumed power of king COTTON, fo? reign or European assistance was to bo counted upon. But no Eughiud and no France came to our side in our unequal struggle. At last, the South began to realize that "who would bo free, them? selves must etrike the blow;" but the ?lesson was received and acted upon at a late period. The South, thrown upon her own resources, made a grand effort, developed resources not dreamed of be? fore, and, although ultimately over? whelmed and beaten on au unequal field, ?did not succumb until she had extorted 'the tribute of admiration from the world, and made it consistent with honor and duty to lay aside her undishonored standards. The war ended. The South had received her first lesson of self-reli? ance in the school of war. It seems, however, that she was not thoroughly impressed. ? period of civil trial came upon the South. Hore, again, we re? peated the mistake of other days. RE CONSTRUCTION was put on foot in thc South. Did the whites of the Sou tl "upon themselves depend?" They die not. Hoping that relief would come frorr Heaven or earth, in some way or other, the business of reconstruction was wei nigh closed and the nail olinohed, before the Southern whites threw their power; into action. It was too late. "Masterly inactivity" had failed them, aud Provi dence did not stretch oat it? hand tc those who had failed to help themselves So, now, again. The field of effort, ii behalf of good and honest government, i opon before us, and again there are mei who are for letting the forces of natur work. Are we never to learn the dut; of EFFORT? Are we never to acquire th philosophy of SELF-KELIAJ?CE? Is it ti be that some Delilah is again to cut ol tho looks of the Southern Samson? I inglorious inactivity again to ba ou political bane? We know that there i virtue in PATIENCE. Bat we know, also that there is vast power in ACTION Patience and quiet endurance, in thei place, MO good qualities; bat there ar times, and these are of them, when al the philosophy of our duty is compre hended in wise and well-directed activity It was patient, in Micawber, to wait fo "something to turn up," but it woul have been wiser to go to work and tur up Bomething. The quiet forces of ni ture! Of these, much is said. We kno< that they exist. They exist in the soi and yet man's labor and man's skill mu: be applied to help them on and giv them play. They exist in tho huma frame, and yet the physician gives hi active medicines, and tho surgeon usc caustic and lancet, scarifies the skir pierces the tumor or lops off the exen scenoe. Let these principles be applied to ou situation political, and oar readers wi understand our philosophy. It is nc new. It is not original. It is thc ph losophy of history. It is the philosoph of common sense. It means "business. So much for the point political. TL same reasoning holds for tho point ii dastrial. Upon ourselves we must d< pond-must mainly rely. Take th question of LABOR. NO intelligent mn doubts tho efficacy of immigration. TL accession of a good and indusfriul elm of laborers and settlers from abroad i highly desirablo in South Carolina. Bi is it wiso to depend and mainly roly upo this element of strength? It is not. Tl process is both slow and experimenta Wo must primarily look to the elemen at home, at hand, round about us. Tl people of tho South must utilizo and di velop fully their homo, their native ri sources. White and black-tho poop of the soil-they must work active!, persistently, industriously. Take tl question of CAFTTAIJ. Foreign capitul certainly desirable. Wo need eapit hero. But shnll we depend upon foreif or Northern capital, and leave uati' capital unemployed? Here, too, v should upon ourselves depend. Wc ci and plead for capital, and yet there capital, and a good deal of it, locked i in this State and in the South. If v have resources to develop ut tho Sout lot native capital be put forth. If \ have advantages to- be utilized, let nur own people derive tho benefits there? from accruing. This, then, is our phi? losophy industrial. Open the gates wide to the immigrant and the settler. Give a cordial welcome to the capitalist from abroad. Bot, in the meantime, let us upon ourselves depend. Use our domes? tic labor to the best advantage-employ our own capitnl freely and intelligently. This is the substance. Let us not lose sight of this resident power. Whilst wo send out tbe Macedonian invitatiou of come over and help us, let UB gird our loins and with ungloved hands work for our regeneration. Self-reliance is the spring whence our power will flow. The Juno Convention. In every political movemeut, tho first thing is to gather POWER. We are, there? fore, pleased to find that our up-country cotemporaries favor tho meeting of this body. Let every County in the State be represented by good and discreet mon, representing all tho varied interests of tho community. After organizing its power, tbe second thing is to decide how to use it. We aro satisfied to leave this with the Convention. If this power shall bo used wisely and efficiently, the Stato cannot but bo benefittcd. Tlic Mountain Holocuust tu \cvv Yoi R A Family ltoastctt Alive. Additional intelligence iu regard to tho great forest conflagrations in Sullivan, Orange, Delaware, Dutchess and Madi? son Counties of this State, has beeu re? ceived. Never before have these moun? tain fires raged eo furiously or extended over so large au amount of territory. It is generally believed by persons liviug in thoso Couuties, that tho conflagration M'as started by tho hnnd of au incendia? ry. In thoso regions, whero tho fires bioko out, live many persons who ave called Gypsies, who reside in shanties which have been erected in remote nooks on tho mountain-sido and other solitary places that ore seldom reached by the more civilized world. These Gypsies aro described as a thriftless community, hav? ing no regard for, and, therefore, no love for tho industrious farmers sod woods? men who live near them, and it is be? lieved that they set fire to tho under? brush, well knowing that the flumes would extend to tho forest proper aud sprend many miles iu extent. Usually theso fires-which more or less occur every spring-have been confined to districts of limited extent and value, but this spring they have.ravaged thou? sands of acres of valuable woodland, destroying millions of trees and cords of cut wood, logs, ship joints, and bark. The loss, so far as it has been ascer? tained, is estimated ut over 85,000,000, not one cent of which is covered by in? surance. For the most part, tho fires havo been confined to the mountains, but have covered in their march an ex? tent of territory 100 milos in length. Tho Sullivan County forests have been burnt for a distance of twenty miles. The Delaware County woodlands have been devastated some fifteen miles. In both of theso localities the fires aro still raging. In Orango County tho flaming tempest bas spent its strength, and tho mountain ridges and hill-sides are a smouldering waste of land. The rivers and brooks were blood-red from tho reflected flame?. lu soma places, thc water was steaming bot. Thousands of fishes, snakes, birds and squirrels perished and floated upon tho surface. Tho crags and rocky walls of tho mountain-sides were baked by the intense beat, and mnny of the boulders are cracked and crumbled. Hero and tbere tho bones of wild animals (aud some cattle)ltell the story of the holo? caust tragedy. The deep gorges and ravines seemed like miniature gates of the bottomless pit, gaping out fierce flames, smoko and heat. Whoro tho trees were dry and piles of wood and bark hud been stored, there arose vast volumes of white and red flame, tower? ing toward the sky. Such was tho terri? fying influence of tho sight, that tho dumb beasts, the horses and cattle, in tho vicinity fled in alarm, and tho night ech?os were resonant with their blent ings, neighs and lowings. By far the most awful spectacle and calamity yet reported occurred on Sun? day night, near Deposit station. As darkness gathered over tho dying day the fire hud reached the baso of tho West Mountain, and before 9 o'clock had com? pletely encircled ono of tho prominent peaks as with a girdle' of fire. The flumes roared and crackled with horrible sound as they swept up tho hill-side. Tho glare brilliantly illuminated tho whole adjacent region. A party of sportsmen returning through a gorge on tho opposite sido heard shouts aud cries of distress, apparently proceeding from the flaming forest. Looking up through the flames and smoke, they thought they discovered tho forms of a man and wo? man upon a rocky height, swaying their arms to aud fro. Tho cries continued, mid ono of the party is sure that ho afterwards caught a glimpse of a child in the woman's arms. Soon after, tho walls of linnie shut ont all view, aud tho erie* ceased. Tho horrified witnesses, driven away bj tho heat to a greater dis? tance, lingered as near as possible, but neither saw nor heard anymore. It is believed that the persons thus seen wero a mau, wife and child named Hough, who lived in a shanty iu a remote place on the barrons, and in escaping across tho ridge were hemmed in upon tho rocks whero seen, and so perished in tho conflagration. Search is to bo made for their remain?.-New York World. GONE UP.-Tho New York Sun con? fesses that tho Republican party of tho Empire State ia ruined and disgraced. Drinkists, go to Pollock's. Horrara of Wir? Wo extract the following from the re? port of the proceedings of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, published in the Memphis Daily Appeal: Dr. Shipp spoke of resolutions of sym? pathy passed by the last General Con? ference, affecting the church at Colum? bia, 8. C. ; of its sufferings at the hands of war; of ils former prosperity; its boundless liberality; of tho generosity of its members. Ho said that uf all suffer? ers in Columbia, tho Methodist Church boro the most grievous calamities. The church building was reduced to ?shes, the homes of its members wero burned, and all their property* swept away. Tho congregation is too poor to rebuild their house of worship, und have only a little chapel inadequate to tho wants of the congregation. Dr. Sehon moved tho ndoptiou of n re? solution providing for a concession of all that is usked by tho petition. Dr. Smith, of South Carolina, said that tho church spoken of had suffered ns none others. Its people were poorer than those of any church or city in the | South, and that South Carolina was in j tho worst coudition of any in the South. Tho difference in the social nud indus? trial condition of the two States, South Carolina and Georgin, was most strongly marked and palpable. In Carolina the people were still trodden under foot by the harshest task-masters, who held offices with not the remotest idea of pro? moting ends of public good. Tboy only sought to oppress and rob the people nnd gather wealth for themselves. Tho ownership of real estate in Columbia be? gets poverty. A house that is rented for SGOO is taxed $575. Columbia, once famed for the intelligence, public and private morals of it3 people, and for the genius, eloquence and learning of in? dividual citizens, whoso lofty character and many virtues gave tone lo society, is reduced to tho utmost strait: of poverty, and subjected to every process designed to degrade nud destroy. The tasteful scholarship of Legare, the matchless moral and intellectual gran? deur of Calhoun, tho splendid oratory of Proston and McDuflio, once mnde Columbia tho abiding place of all that made life delightful. The condition of tho ruined city to-day presented a mournful contrast with its pristine glory and splendor. It is sad and sickening to contemplate thc present nnd dream of tho past. Of wealth thero is none, and poverty in its rags and gaberdine bas in? vaded alike the palaces of thc rich aud hovels of the poor. Indigent us are these people, they are generous to the last degree. They sbaro with one another the little that is left thom, and widows and orphans aro not forgotten by those who have moro than the abso? lute wauts of life demand. The little chapel they occupy as a place of worship, will not contain the congregation that often gathers about its doorway, and they often secured thouseof buildings of other denominations, especially of the Baptists, who had been very kind. Bishops Capers, Dunwoody and other great thinkers and orators of Method ism, sleep in tho churchyard hard by. Their monuments had been overthrown or de? stroyed by bloody, red-bonded, war and desecreation, and horrible outrage, and insufferable calamities marked every feature of tho church's fortunes. Will not those more blest in abundance help those so utterly impoverished? The sympathies of this flourishing city would be touched if it may listen to a simple recital of woes which have befallen the church at Columbia. Bishop Andrews approved tho utter? ances of Dr. Smith. Ho had dedicated the Church at Columbia, yenrs ago, to tho Most High. Capers was there, and muny of tho purest and best, and mest learned mon. The character of the con? gregation, its virtues and Christian worth had not been too highly colored, and there eau bo no worthier object of our beneficence. It was first in all Christian virtues. Many of its strongest members havo fallen beneath tho weight of terri? ble calamities, and thc survivors aro hardly able to livo. There was once no limit to their generosity and deeds of Christian charity. Help them; they will soon be able to help themselves, and a church edifice worthy of the people will soon rise from tho ashes of that which was destroyed. Dr. McAnnally spoke with tearful eyes when he said that each member of tho Conference should forward a sum for the purpose of rebuilding tho Columbia church, and erecting a memorial worthy of the fame and virtues of Dr. Capers. A singular and horriblo accident oc? curred at Colgate's soap factory, New York, Monday afternoon. A lad named Charles Platt, with some other em? ployees, wns sky-larking about tho hatch? way during tho noon hour, when Platt's foot slipped and ho fell through tho hatch; tho "dummy," which, by tho jar, beenmo detached, ran down upon his body, crushing him to death instantly. POLLOCK'S.-Meal3 furnished nt all hours. Paris does not seem to bo dissat isfiod with tho result of tho plebiscitum. There have been great illuminations in honor of Napoleon's triumph, and although crowds thronged tho streets, thcro was no sign of disorder. Tho Emperor is evidently far from beiug?afraid of popu? lar demonstrations. Everybody, go to Pollock's! SUIT FOR DAMAGES.-Actions for da? mages, to tho amouut of $30,000, result? ing from the lato collision on tho South Carolina Bailroad, havo beeu commenced against tho Bailroad Company by Joshua Mishaw, who lost a child, and was him? self injnred on that occasion. Lunch every day at Pollock's. INCENDIARISM.-Tho turpentino works of Mr. James W. Lowry, near Manches? ter Depot, wero destroyed by fire on Tuesday morning of last week. THH FALL ELECTIONS.-The elections (his fall will decide not only the charac? ter of the next United States Houso of Repr?sentatives, but also, to a certain extent, that of tho Senate. Twenty Senators will be elected by the State Legislatures. The Senators whoso terms expire on tho 4th of March next are: Morrill, of Maine; Cragin, of New Hampshire; Wilson, of Massachusetts; Anthony, of Uh odo Island; Cottell, of New Jersey; Willey, of West Virginio; Johnson, of Virginia; Abbott, of North Carolina; Robertson, of South Carolina; Fowler, of Tennessee; Grimes, of Iown; Howard, of Michigan; Thayer, of Ne? braska; Ross, of Kansns; Yates, of Illinois; McDonald, of Arkansas; Rev? els, of Mississippi; Williams, of Oregon; Harris, of Louisiana; Warner, of Ala? bama; Sanlsbury, of Delaware; McCreery, of Keutucky, aud Norton, of Minnesota. Tho outgoing Sonntors aro nil Republi? cans, except Sanlsbury, McCreeery aud Norton. Tho seat of Mr. Fowler lins already been filled by a Democrat, and that of Mr. Grimes by a Republican. The Domocrats will probably lose ono Senator in Minnesota, and gain in New Jersoy, Oregon, and perhaps one or two Southern States. A REMAHKAIILU STOUT.-A few days siuco, tboro was a colored man in the city with a sear entirely around bis nock. It is stated that during the closing days of tho lato war bo was tried by ii druin* head court-martial, found guilty, sen? tenced to deutb, duly hung, and pro? nounced dead hy two surgeons in at? tendance, one of whom secured tho body. He thou restored the banged man to life. Although ho was to all appearances dead, yet the vital spark was uut quito extinct. Tho hanged mun bid himself until thc war was over, and then settled on a farm within thirteen miles of tho city, where be is now ut work. Tho scar alluded to is but tho marks of tho rope bj- which ho was suspi'uded. The execution, it is alleged, took place in Kershaw Countj-. It is also stated that tho surgeon who restored thc mau to lifo is now a resi? dent of this eitj\ - Charleston Notes. THE VENEZUELAN REVOLUTION.-The latest news from Venezuela informs ns of the success of tho rebels under Guz mau Dlnuco. On the 27th of last month, uftor three daj-s' bard fighting, the in? surgents succeeded ia occupying tho capital. According to our correspon? dent, houses and stores were sacked and robberies were carried on to a fearful ex? tent by the soldiers of the victorious party. For a long time Bluuco has been plotting to secure the overthrow of the established government, and he bas ap? parently succeeded in his efforts. ALFKED LI. TYLEU.-The United States Railroad and Mining Messenger pays a high compliment to Alfred L. Tjder, tho new vice-President of the South Caro? lina Railroad Company. It congratu? lates tho company on obtaining an of? ficer of snob ability and integrity, and congratulates Mr. Tyler on tho staff he will fiud upon the road. Tho Hoard of Directors of tho Pennsylvania Railroad Company, on accepting Mr. Tyler's resig? nation, passed resolutions of regrot, cer? tifying to his ability and faithfulness. WILT. FATOFIELD ATTEND?-The PHO snc hus well said that, apart from dif? ferences of political opinion, there are in South Carolina at present two distinct parties, "tho robbers and the robbed." It is now certain that at least a largo portion of the robbed will attend, through delegates, the June Convention.

As tho centre of fashion, it has no rival iu the South, and is fast rising to tho popularity of the great resorts of tho North. In point of tho value of its water und the beauty of its sceuery, it is far ahead of them, and should attract many of those who aro in the habit of spending their summer vacations at Sara? toga and Long Branch.
