CO LUM BIA, S. C. Thursday Morning, August 25,1870. Tho lesaou recently taught by^North Carolina should have a healthy and re assuring effeot upon the Conservative party of South Carolina. Upon the evo of the late election, the old North State was seemingly not lesa certainly doomed to radicalism than is our own to-day; jot the result of the election has been an overwhelming defeat to the carpet-bag hordes, foreshadowing their downfall throughout the South, from the Potomac to the Bio Grande. In the many safe? guards with which the radicals have en? deavored to prop up their party, such as the enforcement bill, the militia bill, etc., they have invented weapons, which aro donble-edged, equally as dangerous to themselves as to their political foes. Be? sides this, a general disgust of carpet? bagger is rapidly spreading through tho negro ranks. They have boen deluded 80 long with unfulfilled promises, they find themselves so invariably cheated out of their aspirations, discover themselves always in the attitude of mero tools for the elevation of strange adventurers, that they now pause, and ask what is to be gained by cultivating unfriendly rela? tions with the white people of their sec? tion, with whose interests theirs must al? ways be identical. It neoded but this pause in the flood-tido of madness to set in the ebb, and it dashed through, the ballot boxes of North Carolina, sweep? ing away every vestige of radical potter and influence. So will it soon sweep across our own cane and cotton fluids, leaving South Caroliua a regenerated State. Now, therefore, is tho proper time for the exercise of the utmost cau? tion and judgment by tho Conservative party in selecting candidates. All old, wornout, fossilized politicians must be repudiated. None but young, active, capable men, free from all outaugliug political alliances, must bo put in nomi? nation, and thus apolitical victory iu tho fall elections may bo assured. Great meu are not always infallible in their own families. We all know that George W. caught it right hot from Lady Martha's tongue, on occasions when he did not too the matrimonial mark properly. Iudeed, if we are tc oredit traditions, the Father of his Coun? try-our country-was made to stand rouud quito lively whenever Martha was iu a bad humor, and her tomper wai none of tho sweetest, as we all hnvt heard. Special despatches from Europe to the New York papers affirm that thc Empress Eugeuie is displaying some ol the same symptoms, and, rolling up hoi Bloeves, has "goue into" this fight like a man. She gave tho Emperor u seven wigging on heariug ho had sent his horses to the front; said the idea of his riding horseback in his present state o! health was preposterous; declared thal ho should only ride in a, carriage. Tc all of which tho Emperor shrugged hil shoulders and said nothing. After bei return from Cherbourg, and since Na poleou's departure, she declared her in tention of going to tho front to tak< care of her family, and was only re strained with great difficulty. Wo lik< this in Eugenie; it shows that, what ever may be her qualities as an Empress she is a good womau and loves her hus band and child; that her heart is mort sensitive to their danger than to anj other claims. We feel that Lady Mal? tha would havo done tho samo thiuj nuder.similar circumstances, and wo car pardon many thorns where a rose is fra grant with such incense of affection, Vive l'Imp?ratrice! < ?? ? > LOOK OUT ron THI: ENCUNE !-The sur veyors of tho Airline Railroad were hen this week, and intend commeucing tc locate tho road permanently from thi place to King's Mountain. Contracts will soon bo let out from this end. / mortgage has been executed for tluet millions six hundred thousand dollars by the President of.thc road, and thirty .six hundred dollars of revenue stamp; cancelled. This looks like business. [Carolina Spartan.

That this is so, the following faots will demonstrate: Last January Rev. L. C. Chappell bought'a small tract of land iu the upper part of Richland, known ns tho "Center Place." It was a poor, worn-out place, and had long been abandoned ns unfit for cultivation. It had growu up iu old field pines, broom sedgo and briars. It was as hard a look? ing case as ouo could find iu a mouth's travel. Mr. Chappell and his three sous, only one of whom is grown, went to work, cleared, fenced and ditched fifty acres nud planted them in boru, cotton, sorghum aud potatoes. Ile had no labor beside that of himself aud three sons. Yesterday we saw his crop aud are satisfied he will make tweuty bules cot? ton, weighing 400 pouuds each, 400 bnsbels corn, 120 gallons sorghum, be? sides potatoes, peas, eke. Besides this, ho harvested about 400 bushels of wheat and oats, which he had sown ou au ad? joining place. See, Mr. Editor, what well-directed iudustry can do on the poorest, worn-out laud in South Caro? lina. Settlojup tho Stato with sensible working farmers like Mr. Chappell and his boys and she toill li;-e.

On Saturday afternoon last, about ono hundred negroes broke into tho jail at Louisville, the County sent o? Jefferson Couuty, and released all the inmates, mostly, if not all, negroes. The attack seemed to be particularly directed to secure the liberty of a negro who hod been imprisoned for shooting a horse or mule. No conflict took placo between the ne? groes and tho citizens, but the iutensest excitement prevailed among the people, and spread through the County liko wild fire. On Sunday, the negroes sent out run? ners in every direction, and soou collect? ed r? ?o?ces upwards o? ono thousand strong. This body paraded tho streets iu bauds, cursing nnd hurrahing and be? having themselves in tho mo.st disorder? ly mnnuer-even going so far in their lawlessness as to threaten to burn tho town. At this crisis, tho whites rapidly turned out to defend the place, sending messengers to Emanuel and other Counties for assistance, which was seut in squads of men as fast as circumstances would allow all Sunday night, and up to ll o'clock yesterday morning. Tho negroes had their headquarters iu an old field about a milo and a half from tho town all of Sunday night, but yes? terday moruiug had all disbanded aud gone to work oxcopt a few, aud a ring? leader culled "Cudjoe," who, together with his companions who remained, suc? ceeded subsequently iu escaping upon learning of preparation being made to I capturo them.
