COLUMBIA, S. C. Tuesday Horning, September 6,1870. The Frauco-Prasaliiii War. Tho French army at Sedan, with McMahon and Napoleon, having been forced to surrender, the war has passed through its first stage. Tho disaster to France-great as it is-cannot of itself end the war. Franoo, with its popula? tion of 40,000,000, can put a force of over 2,000,000 fighting men into the field. "We have no reasou to conclude that the French will not do all that na? tional pride and self-sacrificing patriot? ism shall suggest. Already great battles have been fought, and many killed and wounded. But it may bo that tho work of carnage is destiued still to go ou. If Prussia is not ready for peace, it is cer? tain that France is not roady for 7mmili a/ion. Our readors will observe the reso? lute language of the French authorities at Paris. The indications are that dic? tatorial powers will be entrusted to Geu. Troohu, in whom, France seems to hopo, are those elements of heroism and strength'that she needs in her dire ex? tremity. . ?s respects Marshal 'Bazaine, it seems 'well-established that he failed to extri? cate himself, and is, perhaps, held fast ju and abont Metz. i , # ? ?. The Louisville Courier-Journal un? earths a petition filed against C. C. Bowen, the radical member of Congress from the Charleston District, and would be husband of Mrs. Petigru-King, for divorce, in the Chancery Court, of that city, last February, by Tabitha Bowcu, since which no further steps have been taken in the matter. The maiden mime of the lady entering suit was Tabitha Park, and she .alleges that she was legally married to Boweu ia Wakulla County, Florida, on tho 31st of January, 1860, and lived with him until April, 1867, when he voluntarily abandoned her, without cause. The marriage with Miss Park was procured through fraud, Bowen represeutiug that he was a widower, when in reality his former wife had obtained a divorce for desertion aud neglect. The Courier-Journal adds: "The lady whom ho so shamefully abandoned has been living in this city for the past three years, and has won the esteem of all who know her. She is a lady of culturo aud refinement, aud still retains some of her former beauty. "Bowen was living at Fernaudina at the outbreak of the war, and raised a regiment of cavalry and served in the Confederate army until the close of the war. He failed to returu homo to his wife, and she found him living in open adultery with n womau. Mrs. Boweu immediately reuouueed him and came to this city, and last spring commenced a suit for divorce. . Boweu was very anx? ious for a divorce,' aud was in this city last week for tho purposo of urging Mrs. Bowen to permit him to have a divorce, He has paid tho alimony claimed by her. $10,000. Tiie divorced wife of Boweu is said to reside iu Augusta, Ga." BARBECUE AND MASS MEETING AT THE RIDGE, EDGEFIELD DISTRICT.-Wo are pleased to learn that this meeting, ou Saturday last, was a successful affair. The crowd was large. The speakers were Messrs. Bacon, Butler, Youmans, and others. The speeches were effect? ive, the barbecued meats were ample aud pleasant to the taste, and the affair passed off harmoniously, excepting a shooting scrape, which occurred to iudi cate pointedly that tho meeting was in Edgefield. Judge Carpenter, on acoonut of indisposition, was not present; but the other speakers spoke well and ably in behalf of the "Reform" we need. < * ? ? With the 31st day of August closed the cotton year 1869-70; and, from the beat attainable information, the crop aggre? gates 3,298,000 bales, or au increase over tho total receipts of the cotton your 1868-9 of 860.000 bales. As one conse? quence of this heavy inexpense in receipts, the .-?tock now ou hand in all the great co:ton centres shows 530,000 more bales than were ou haud upon the 31st of Au- j gust, 1869. The significance of these figures, which, allo wing a largo margin for delayed reports, cannot be 50,000 out of the way, is interesting. Asa cou s?quence of tho present groat accumula- : tion of stock, tho market for tho year beginning tho 1st instant, starts with a; heavy bias towards low prices; and, if I the now crop fulfils its present promise, tho rnliug rates this year for the staple j mast bo much below the generally high prices of 1869-70. Auy serious redhc- ] tion cannot but havo a bad effect upon tho plauters, aud, in anticipation of low prices doing much damage this year, it is not putting too fiuo a point upon it to look for a considerable increase iu the amount of capital which will be diverted from cotton growing to cotton manufac? turing South iu 1S71-2. As is well known to mill-men, there aren? few advantages from manufacturing colt?? near the place of its growth, aod, if this year turus out badly for planters, there will be a strong tendency in that class to invest rather in mills than in the further operatiou of plantations.-New York World. Another uiuety-nino year lease has just oxpired in Now York, and as the property is worth no less than $82,000, 000, the heirs of Robert Edwards, tho lessor, are desired to appear, prove heirship, and dispossess the lessees. ? - --"f?l Colombia Batidla* ona l*aan Aasoola ?ion. Mu, EDITOR: What bas bc com o of the ColumbiaBuil$ing?ndLoan Association? Wo bad preBualed, that under the manage* mont of the enterprising corporators1,' this important enterprise would be a complete success. A charter bas been obtained, and wo believe that tho entire amount of 6tock lins beou subscribed. Why is it uot organized, aud at work? No placo in tho world oilers such advantages, growing out of a uecessify and want for cheap homesteads, as in Columbia. Hero wo have at least half the capital to bogiu with iu empty lots, and with tho aid of these mutual benevolent, institutions, homes may bo prooured at a cost not much over the cost of reut. We hopo an effort will bo made to establish it, aud that tho books be opeued for a renewal of subscriptions, and let tho good work go ou. ENTERPRISE. ?-*>?-? Tito Water Work). ME. EDITOR: If Captain Tradewell'a long and labored argumeut is tho best that can bo mado iu favor of tho contract between tho City Council and Mr. Pearso, then tho defence is weak indeed. In the first place, he carefully avoids all notice of the principal objection to that contract, viz: tho extravagant sum required and our inability to meet the payments. When an adroit and experienced at? torney dodges the main question on any issue, we may fairly infer that it is for a good reason. Ia this case, we have more than the inforenoe that ho could not justify this contract in direct terms, but has sought to do so in a circuitous manner. The facts are, that tho cost of keeping up the Water Works does not exceed $6,000 per annum. Yet tho con? tract proposes to pay Mr. Pearse $16,000 per annum for twenty years. lu other words, tho citizens of Columbia are to give Mr. Pearso $200,000 in tho next twenty years, or to forfeit to him the present Water Works. Mr. McKenzie, Mr. Glaze and Mr. Shields, who have been Chairmen of the Committee ou Water Works for the last tou years, all testify that a full and suffi? cient supply of water has been, and can bo, furnished for $6,000 a year, and they apprehend no danger of failure in either tho springs or tho machinery, since tho eugino was repaired iu February last. Tlioy wished to use waler power instead of stoam, because they expected tho former to cost less than thc sum above named. Mr. McKenzie stated, iu the Guardian, of the 27th ultimo, over his owu signature, that "a full supply was thrown iuto tho reservoir by using tho ougiuo but three days iu the week," aud that, "a short timo during the war, our Water Works were kept up to their full capacity, supplying a population estimated at 10,001), a number of facto? ries, eighteen stationary eugiues, besides aGovernmeut distillery and laboratory." Yet Captain T. shuts his eyes to theso notorious facts, and declares that "aliare agreed on the necessity for au increased supply of water," that "on this point there exists no contrariety of opinion," that "every ono knows that a geneial un? easiness prevails on account ol' the limit? ed supply," aud "that a denial of this fact would not bo respectable.?' At tho risk of his respectability, tho writer of this asserts his confident belief that a majority of our citizens and property hold TS entertain uo such fear, and aro opposed to tho whole scheine, uuless the expense can be very much reduced. Now, is it the imperative duty of the Council to carry out a coutract binding tho peoplo to pay so largo a sum, when such a difference of opinion is known to exist among them ou tho subject,without consulting them ? Rut the strangest of all Captain Tradeweli's assertions is, that by this coutract "no debt is incurred." I am no lawyer, but I have always un? derstood that a promiso to pay for a val? uable consideration is the acknowledg? ment of a debt, especially if it bo re? duced to writing, and the tim? of pay? ment specified, with a heavylforfeituro iu ease of default. But if this promise of the Council creates no debt, where is tho calamity and disgrace of rescinding it, which he denounces ns au act of repudia? tion, thnt would "inflict a wound upon thc best interests, character and good faith of tho city, its Mayor aud Alder? men, whieh.no lapse of tiinoeould heal?" And what has he to say of tho recent re? solution of this same Council, refusing to . receive its past-due coupons iu paymeut of taxes? Is that not tho repudiation of au honest debt, fairly contracted, with tho knowledge and authority of the citi? zens, and for which value was received long ago? Wo have yet to learn that Captain T. opened his mouth against this open act of repudiation. ? And docs he or tho Council expect creditors, whoso claims have been due for ? years, to stand by und sec their demands defeated Wy a pledge of its most valua 1 hie property for a new debt, unnecessa? rily created, against the wishes of tax? payers, and beyond their means of pay? ing? There is but ono certain way to avert repudiation, and that is to avoid contracting debts without tho means of meeting thom. It is better to rescind this agreement uow, than by failing to meet the payments, to convey our Water Works to Mr. Pearso. X. Y. Z. Tho great fires in tho Canada woods aro said to bo the most extensive conflag? rations over witnessed by thoso living iu tho provinces.

Governor Orr, in Booth Carolina, is thought to bo one of the most eligible of men for the professorship of logic in some- fatuous university. In his recent address to the publio he has shown that he possessed tho moat logical mind of all public men of the times. Ho announced that bo had nui ted himself with the Re? publican party, as that party must rule tho destiny of South Carolina for a long series of years to como. ThiB is conceiv? ed to be tho finest specimen of pure logic that has beou offered to tho admi? ration of mankind within a century. Struugo to say, it is not appreciated pro? perly in South Carolina. No less than sis newspapers of tho Palmetto State have declared against him, and proclaim that he ia "gouo up the spout." Thu "timo is out of joint," nud pure logie is under the ban.-Richmond Dispatch. lu the Corps L?gislatif, on Tuesday, the absurd story ?3 published in the Figaro, of German privateers sailing from American ports, was ventilated. A deputy demanded information from tho Government, aud the Minister of Marine replied that ho had no official despatches ou tho subject, but, in tho absence of auy intelligence directly confirming tho report, be could not suppose tho Ame? rican Government would permit such a violation of the rights of uations. The Moniteur makes au official deuial of thc truth of the report. Edmund About meets a long nud la? mentable cavalcade of stragglers; cuiras? siers without cuirasses, grenadiers with? out a gun, drngoons ou foot, infantrymen on horseback.

A soldier answers good humored, but Bad, "We aro the regi? ment; the rest aro below." During a circus exhibition at Kings? ton, New York, on tho 25th ultimo, a tree was struck by lightning, a short distance from tho tent, and five persons killed and a number wounded-all colored.

Tho Ohio radicals are said to be in a shaky condition. A lotter iu the New York Ti'ibune, (good authority for such a statement) predicts that tho Democrats will retain tho fivo Congressional dis? tricts they now hold, with almost certain promise of carryiug eight others. If so, thc radicals will carry but six. If Ohio is disgusted with radicalism, "tho dog is dead." Yesterday, in Rochester, an embank? ment of earth caved iu, burying a num? ber of workmeu, three of whom wore killed, viz : Thomas Foley, Thomas Mulwbonoy, nud Lewis Marsh.

PIICCNIXIANA.-By au advertisement iu another column, it will be seen that throngu tickets for tho principal North? ern cities can be obtained at various points ou tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The cotton nows from Liverpool indi? cates that tho feeling in business circles is that peace is near at hand. Is there no way of putting a stop to tho murderous way of singiug which executes some of our best hymus, or rather garrotes them, in the following style: "Tho ye-hc-hc-he-hear of Jew Billy, Jew-Billy, Jew-ow-ew-Billy ey-ey, Je-cu-ou-Bil-le-he-ho is como !"

They aro enter? prising and reliable Charleston men, always ready promptly and efficiently to serve thoir friends in tho interior. We uotico from tho haud-bills to that offect, that tho "Nickersou House" will be, in future, tho dinucr house for pas? sengers from the North ou tho Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad. With? out disparagement to any other estab? lishment, wo boliove this arrangement will meet the views of thc traveling public generally-as they will bavo am? ple time to enjoy a No. 1, substantial dinuer, and bo couvoyod to and from the hotel free of omnibus fare. Thc "Nick crson" is nearer by several squares to tho depot than any other hotel. It is claimed that artificial ico eau bc produced cheaper thau the natural arti clo is sold for. A company has been organized in New York for making it by tho Tellier process, and experiments made this week at tho Morgan Iron Works, with a three-horse engine, result? ed iu the production of 120 pounds au j hour. As the Empress Eugenio is thc nc kuowlcdgcd leader of fashion, wo may shortly expect something stylish in the way of traveling dresses. From a report of a meeting in Spar tauburg, it seems that the Messrs. Win smith, father and sou, and Messrs. Ja van Bryant and C. C. Turner, aro now fully identified with the Radical party in this State. Messrs. Bryant and Turner were tho Democratic members from Spartanburg in tho last Legislature. The Republican adds, that "C. D. Melton, Esq., does not hesitate to announce his purpose to vote for Scott and Ransier, aud to support Republican principles in all their fullness." This information comes to nu from tho Republican, under tho heading of "Tho Spartauburg Les? son." Dr. Lobby, of Charleston-roported dead-is alivo aud getting better. Messrs. D. C.
