.CT)M:^BiA, - S. C. 'Sp^<B$r~?^ormhgt July 24,1870d_ A Glowing Picture of Columbio -Ii? "" - Pr*ient and Future. It seems thnt^ It|r< Duncuu Stewart has been giving to tho Hamilton Adner tiser-Scotland-a glowing view qi Co? lumbiu and ita surroundings. No' one here will read it without congratulating himself upou the faQt.thoi?b?s linea, liayo .fallen in such pleasant.-places-. The writer says, aa to tkeJocation, nn^be^nty ol Columbia: .Columbio is mo3t ma?^?ce^l^lc>oat(ed -on the Congaree Rivery wh'icm ii hero a, broad and rapid 6tream. Sheratan hav? ing destroyed the old city, 1 the," present buildings arc mostly of recent erection. It was fondly hoped that at this point tho Confederate commanders could make a successful stand against his farther ad? vance. The width aud rapidity of thc Congaree River was considered a sure defence. In forty-five minutes from the time tho head of tue columns had reached tho right bauk, ho had tried the range of his guns on the gable oud of tho State Capitol, and established his advauce pickets ou the left margiu of the river, and the proud and wealthy city of Co? lumbia was at his mercy. What the mercies of war are, can be seen in blocks andfiquares given to the flapies-iu heaps of mouldering bricks, filling up cellars .or lyiug iu heaps above ground-ia the .chimuies cf tho mansions of the rich, standing iu solitary state, amidst thc charred and blackened timbers of these vilesolato horner-in the enipty spaces whore once stood the houses of thc work ?ug people-all, all, impress ou the minds si\ {every boh?ld?r the mercilessness of the mercies of war. This great destruc? tion was the combined work of thc Fed? eral and Confederate armies. Verily, the tender mercies of friends are cruel j?ucishmeuts in war. Before the war, thia waa one of'the most wealthy, polisk ?ed aod aristocratic cities of the South. Columbia is still beautiful amidst its ruins, and is fast becoming oucc more a centre of trade, wealth and plcaeurc. The country around it is of a most gor? geous oharacter, teeming leith even/thing that makes life, a pleasure. The bauks of tho river are from fifty to 150 feet high, and everywhere within sight of the city ?crowned by superb residences, each one .embowered in en Eden of fruits, flowers and foliage. In the distance you hear ihe sound of the rapids of the Congaree. This sound is something between the soft murmur of a mountain stream and the roar of a cnteract; it fills the mi?'d 'with delight. Then add the songs of birds, the fine park,.the streaming foun? tains it contains, ..the fine, well-kept walks, the charming drives, the cheerful appearance of all you meet, white and black, the splendid open country, its high state of cultivation, and you have s picture equal to that which Mirza be? held while viewing the happy islands from the ramparts of Bagdad. I think I hear my readers exclaiming This is an overdrawn picture; you arc -overdoing it. Did John Milton ovor draw Paradise? This sunny laud can? not be overdrawn. The most gifted pen, the most graphic power of word paint? ing could ouly produce a faint outline ol its capabilities, its resources, its extent, ita unrivaled magnificence and splendor. The day will como when tho orieuta! splendors of Delhi, Agra and tho holj city of Benares-nay, even the tales ol Alladin-will in mauy respects become realities iu this future home of unt?le wealth, cultivated taste and extravagant desires. Now this we have to say, that wo hav< a high appreciation of the beauty of oui city, but candor compels us to say tba' ?onr eulogist lays it on rather thick. A great deal can be claimed for our city but it is not necessary to make it i perfect Paradise. Thero is room for im provement, and whilst we don't knov exactly what "Mirza beheld," we don' lliiuk "our correspondent" saw precisel.i what he professes to have sean. Ours i? a pretty picture, but it doe3 coutaii some ugly spots. The enthused writer next visits tin "State Capitol, and contends that whe: finished it will be "one of earth's oma znents." The Legislature was in session This body pleased him greatly, and vor; much to his surprise, "order, decorun and cleanliness," were "apparent." He next gives ns his views of Soutl Carolina, and says : South Carolina-the cradle of aedi ?iou and rebellion-is now the quiotes and best governed State in tho Union Her people aro high-minded and honora ble, and best of all, tho interest on he: debt ia poid promptly, and in gold -which proves the assertion. Tho Statt seems to bc governed with judgment ant honesty of purpose, and the lawn tba have been enacted aro judicious and just This places her moro in accord with tin General Government und thc people o thc North, than mouy others of tho oh slave States. This harmony is tolliu; us of her prosperity. She is making rapid strides in wealth, aud in a fev yeats her ancient capitol will bo as c;a; aud brilliant os it cvor was iu tho palm lost days of slavery, with no evil quos tion to arouse and keep alive tho wora passions that can animato tho humai breast, as did their old pct idol, humai >ondagc. "Thc best governed Stale in the Union.'' 'The cradle, of sedition and rebellion/' Alas! for Mr. Stewart, wo know now th sources of his information upon tai point. Whilst herc, wo koo?.- that he dh not got his information-political-frou i "reformer." He fell into the hands 0 *.uo Philistines, and they put o-it hi political- eyo, and wo must say, made him "see double" generally. But to re? turn "to our motton." Speaking again of tho city of Columbio, he says, and hero bo jfcrows vasty sopsjble: Columbia wilt* become in tho imme? diate futuro 0:10 of tye great, centres of cotton manufacturing. The rapids of the Congaree will soon have the hum of hundreds of thousands of spindlos added to their murmuring roar, and the clack, alack, clack, clack, of thousands of looms will m.ak? tho musio more melodious. This c?ty, and the city of Augusta, Ga., ar? d-i?tined to be the Manchesters of America. When I explain what is being done in this diroction, my American aud British readers will bo able to under? stand my meaning. Tho rapids of the Congarco are about six or seveu miles long, and abounding in first class mill sites. Thc State had constructed a canal around these rapids 37f. Gin. wide, and a few feet deep, there being 150 miles of navigable water above tho rapids. The vast increaso of railroad facilities havo made shoal water navigation of much less importance than it formerly was iu the regions of tho South, so tho State of South Carolina, with commendable good sense, has turned tho canal over to the greatest and richest cotton manufac? turers in tho United States, and soon destined to be the greatest in tho world -tho Spragues, of Rhode Island-for a mere nominal sum in fee simple. On the 1st day of last March, these gentle? men commenced to enlarge the cuual to seventy-five feet in width. The cotton spinners of Glasgow and Manchester can form some idea of the uumber of spindles such a mammoth water power will drivo. Within a few years, Ameri? can manufacturers will be throwing vast quantities, of coarso Cotton fabrics into tho markets of China, Japan and India. New England has seeu lier palmiest day in the cotton trade, aud Old England will soon be compelled to fight for every inch of ground sho holds in foreign countries, as the supreme dispenser of cotton fabrics. Within five years thc South will be able to supply herself in all numbers from eight to twenty, which are largely used ut the South for com? mon coarse goods. Not only will this be so, but it will supply largo quantities to the Middle and Western States; and Boston itself will hnvo its cotton goods warehouses filled with a full supply ol Columbia aud Augusta eights, tous, twelves and fonrteeu.i-these being thc numbers mo ;t in use for certain kinds ol cloth which is largely consumed at thc South and tho North. All over thc South email mills are being built, and each and all are makiug money. Some fine uumbers will bo largely spun, auc weaving and printing the common ant finer qualities of calico will be carried 01 to au immense extent. Where, then 6hall Now England turu for a market after she loses the trade of the South anc West,'and is obliged to compete witl the cheap labor of the South, and tin vicinity of the cotton fields to the South ern factories! From the upper windows of the facto ries of Columbia and Augusta eau b seen tens of thousauds of acres of /// cotton plant. The planters around wil deal directly with the manufacturer-th latter purchasing his stock less than hi New England brother, to the amount c railroad freight to the seaboard, thei cartage, shipping chartres, freight am marine insuracce to Boston or Net York, then cartage, storage, fire instit ance and commission at these points amounting in tho aggregate to a larg profit for the manufacturer, if ho sold a the nett cash of production at tho facto ries of the Eastern States. Nor is thi all; the cartage, shipping charges, freigb and insurance on thc manufactured arti cle must bc added from the East to th points of present consumption, SoutL On thc raw article old England has t pay the ocean freights and iusurauc from New Orleans, Savannah, or Ne1 York, to Liverpool, cr other Britis ports, in addition to the charges airead enumerated, while commissions and hat diing costs much more in Liverpool tba in New York or Boston, and mnst, c course, bc added to thc value of the col ton. Theso facts go to prove that it wi be a most difficult matter for tho tw Englands to compete with the South i the cotton manufacturing industrie; and bear ont my former statemenl "That doubts may bo awakened in som minds whether, in twenty-five yeat hence, England will bo able to cotrol th trade. Let ns now take leavo of Mr. Stewarl as we find him in a sensible and reason: hie vein. As for his highly-colored rey. reseutation of our advantages and spirit and government and scenery of orient; beauty, let ns simply ask, with Burn! that some power would give us the gii to see ourselvos ns Mr. Stewart sees ui We fool obliged to Mr. S. for his pain ing, bnt we mast admit that he has lai his paint on rather thick. Tuc COLOKED CADET.-Tho Washing ton correspondent of the Now Yor Times, nuder date of Tuesday, sa3-s: ". court-martial was to-dny ordered to coi voue at West Point, for tho trial of var: ons cadets. Thc most notable case to b investigated, will be tho allegations c ill-treatment preferred by tho colore cadet there, and which are so w idely f variance with the statements of tim boar of visitors and other responsible person! that it is believed the young colore martyr will be couvictod of gross exa< goratiou, or worse." -O o <, FRENCH FORTRESSES.-France bas ll fortresses, of which eight aro of the firs rank: Paris, Lyons, Strasbourg, Met: Lille, Toulon, Brest and Cherbourg. Til fortifications of Paris are stated to ha\ cost $40,000,000, and up to IbGS thei had been expended on Cherbourg 83J 000,00 ). COTTON MANT^ACTUIUNO- IKD?STRY, The following admission la mada by the New YorfyShipping and Commercial List. It admits tho proposition pilvoDcod by Col. J. B* Palmor, ia bia report bei oro the late Immigration andladastrial Con? vention in Char lea ton, via: That cotton factories can be operated to mach greater advantage in the South than at the North. The journal referred to, says: In succeeding years, it seems likely that the cotton manufacturing branch of industry will be, to a considerable ex? tent, transferred from the Eastern States to the South, where, ncoording to tho testimony of many practical obnet vers, cotton factories eau be operated to better 1 advantage. It has been estimated by a Northern manufacturer who has had some experience iu Georgia during tho last two years, that from two to three mil? lions of dollars would be saved annually in each of the principal colton States, by workiug up the raw material at and near the sources of supply. Samples of yaru that were sent to Euglaud last spring, from a factory iu South Caro? lina, sold at au advance of cloven per cent, on the cost of manufacturing. It has been demonstrated that the yarns can be manufactured at tho point where tho cotton is grown-thereby saving tho cost of transporting the rnw material to the factory-at about live ceuts per pound less than they can be inado in Northern factories. After thc expense of transportation to tho Now York mar? ket, the payment of commissions and other contingent expenses, the Southern yarns have made a return to the manu? facturer of nearly ten cents profit on the pound. Theso aro important facts, and well calculated to secure au extensive immigration of Northern manufacturers and mechanics. Thu cotton lords of Lancashire are evideutly ill at ease over the prospect of the South becoming a manufacturer, as well as grower of cot ton. Thus au English commercial jour? nal exclaius: "Wo are sony to see the phantom of a manufacturing cotton in? dustry iu tho South still pursued, for in the present condition of the States, it is little else. Every available hand is re? quired for the cultivation of the soil, and at present prices, the growth of cotton is certain to provo a far more remunera? tive occupation thau auy attempt to enter into competition in the market for manufactures. With tho finest climate, aud the best soil in tho world, Southern planters will do well to develop these ad? vantages to the utmost." Considering its source, this will hardly bc regarded as wholly disinterested advice, and it is, therefore, not likely to be heeded. With the "finest climate," the raw material, and abundance of water power and fuel at baud, thero is no good reason why the South should uot become a large pro? ducer of fabrics as well as of the raw material. Tho three most prominent French of? ficers and corps commanders in the pre? sent war-McMahon, Bazaine and Can robcrt-are all over sixty years of age. Tho three leading commanders in the Prussian service, beside thc Crown Prince-Yon Moltke, Mauteufiel aud Von Boon-aro all over sixty, and the first named is seventy years old. The King of Prussia is seventy-three, and the Empe? ror of Frnnce sixty-two years ol age. It ii likely that some younger men will be heard of, on both sides, before the war over. Finn IN BENNETTSYILLE.-On last Mon? day night, the house occupied by Mr. Kuker as a storehouse, at the factory, about three miles from Beunettsville, was burnt down, and the stock of goods to? tally destroyed. The house was tho pro? perty of Sheriff Joel L. Easterling. The stock of goods, the property of Mr. Ku? ker, was insured for 81,000. The build? ing was not insured-a total loss to the owner. Tho fire was caused by the ex? plosion of a kerosene lamp, which fell occidentally from the hands of the clerk on the floor. FATAL. AFFRAY EETWEEN UNITED STATES SOLDIERS AND COLORED POLICEMEN*.-A difficulty occurred in Charleston on Thursday night, at a late hour, between several United States soldiers, belonging to the Sth Iofautry aud the colored po? licemen, during which one of the latter, named Martin, was killed and two others severely wounded. Private Johnson, of Company B, was arrested, charged with firing upon tho policemen, but no wea? pon was found upon his person. Seve? ral other soldiers have also been hauled up. It is said in Washington that Presi? dent Grant has decided to send General Sheridan to Europe to witness tho war thero, and profit by foreign invention in arms aud accoutrements.

Thc writer, Mr. Stewart, is a resident of Detroit, Michi? gan, and though a radical in his politics, is said to bc a mau of means and charac? ter, and in disposition kindly and agreea? ble. We must, however, not fail to. ex? press our regret that our "cauuy Scotch? man" did not favor us before leaving Columbia with one of his occasional con? certs, as we learn that he was addicted to this amusement in his youuger days. Had he done so, we arc satisfied that he would not have been compelled to make so hasty au exit as on a previous occa? sion, when au unappreciatiug audieuco constrained him to connect "dissolving views" with the strains of poor music. THE TRADE OF COLUMBIA-THE COT? TON BUSINESS.-The public are no doubt aware of the question raised between tho Columbia Board of Trade and tho City Council. That question turned upon the right of the Council to compel the buyers and sellers of cotton to submit the weighing of cotton to the cotton weighers appointed by tho Council. The case came up before Judge Melton, and as we have already stated, the decision sustained the point made by our Board of Trade. Tho consequence is, that all cotton bought or sold in Columbia, is not necessarily liable to be weighed by the cotton weighers appointed by the City Council. The public weighing is to bo resorted to only when the wcighiug becomes a matter of dispute. We de? sire to call tho attention of the public to this decision. The trade of our city has suffered because of the attempt to en? force au ordinance which, we hold, should never have been passed. Ear? nestly impressed with the policy of that principle of free trade which places no unnecessary restrictions upon the busi? ness dealings of man with man, we hail tho decision with satisfaction. If A brings his cotton to market and is satis? fied with tho weights that B, the pur? chaser, gives, why not, in the name of common sense, let the buying and sell? ing bo then and thero closed? Our country friends are assured that now no reason exists why, as heretofore, they .should not bring their cotton and other merchantable articles to this market. Wo desire hero to build Columbia up and to gather here the solid advantages of a thriving trade. Columbia, in this re? spect, offers raro advantages, and under wiso and good government, must bo a considerable mart. Our merchants are accommodating, intelligent and enter? prising. They are liberal in spirit, and wc feel satisfied that they aro prepared to make trade hero as advantageous to purchasers or sellers, as is consistent with what is fairly due to their own in? terests.

Tal ley a pamphlet copy of his address deli vered before thc South Carolina Midien Association, at its annual session, hel in Columbia on the 0th March, 1S70. A pamphlet on cotton manufacture in South Carolina has been prepared b Messrs. Wm. Perry & Co., of Pendleto Factory-with a view to lay before th public tho advantages of the business and at the same time to let it be know that thoy intend to increase the capiti stock of their company. Thc facts au figures are enough to convince any on that the investment will bring haudsom dividends.
