COLUMBIA, S. C. Thursday Morning:, October 6, 1870. .?An Open Field ?nd ? Fair Fight Anil Ajax A ?lia no More." When .the correspondence between Messrs. Kershaw and Bansier appeared, we took occasion to say that practically the assurances given by Mr. Bansier, of a disposition on his part to have a fair election, amounted to nothing. ' We learn now that there is a hitch in the arrangements proposed, and that Gov. Scott will give no satisfactory evidence of any intention on bis part to make the proposed arrangement efficacious. We presume that the Elective believes in ?.-tho good old rulo, the simple plan. That they snail tako who havo tho powor, And they shall keup who can." We would be pleased to learn from tho Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Union Beform Party the progress of his efforts to provide for a committee of both parties to attend at each voting precinct. And we trust that tho Execu? tive Committeo will see to it that auti radicalists shall not bo deprived of the fruits of any snccess that mny be fairly ?won by them. We cannot afford this. Our Slate Folley. "South Caroling whether we like it or not, is now inhabited by two races of people. According to the laws of the land, tho colored people forming ono of these raoes are endowed with full citi? zenship. They vote, sit ou juries, form military aompanies, and hold office The question now is, what is tho proper policy to bo pursued in South Carolina with the view of, promoting tho public weal and making the most of the cir? cumstances that surround us? We are fully satisfied as to the proper policy. Our policy should not be based upon re? sentment. It should be wise, liberal aud enlightened. Whatever may bo the fu? ture of tho colored race iu these South? ern communities, our duties are in the present, as our relations to them now munt bo considered. We deem it the obvious duty of tho South to promote, in every legitimate way, tho improve? ment of the colored man. If he is a citizen, it is obviously our duty to see to it that hu be a sobor, discreet and indus? trious member of tho body politic If ho is a juryman, a soldier aud a voter, it is certaiuly to our interest that he bc educated and alive to the public inte? rests. Hence it is, that we would advise and advocate, as for the colored people as well as the whites, a policy of encou? ragement nud help and genuine advance ment. And wheu the prosent radico rule shall have terminated-as it must Boon terminate-and tho Southern peo pie, redeemed and disenthralled, sha! have been remitted to cheerful nnc wholesome ?ol?-govcrumont, we, as on< of the triumphant party of the not dis tant future, shall advocate for the coloree race a policy that is fair, just and liberal a policy that fully recognizes their claims Bearing in mind how the great body o these people have been misled by desigu ing adventurers and self-seeking leaders white and black, wo shall bo "To their faults a little blind, 'To their virtues a little kind And put a padlock ou our minds As tu the past." Wo shall be disposed to welcome then to all the prosperity that God, in Hi Providence, has designed for the raco and to give them a full showing ant equal and exact just ico. Knowing tha the white race of tho South aro perfect); able to take care of themselves, we d< not ask iu their behalf any partial legis lation, but are quite ready to submit tin question of influence and power to tlx operation of natural, legitimate un? peaceful laws. So much for our polio; as respects tho colored race. Another feature of State policy is Itu encouragement of immigrants und set tiers from the North und Europe, as means of developing our resources This wo invest with great importance Wo need this strength. We need thi means of development. It is now we established that wealth is au essen Iii: part of the State. It has been aske "What constitutes a Stale?" And th answer has boon given, "Men, high minded men." Doubtless, this is true "Men, high-minded men," do form ou of tho constituent elements of th STATU. But thero is another, and this i WEALTH. In seeking, therefore, to ur. raise the broken columns of former pro? perity in South Carolina, let it never b forgotten that a STATE, to stand au prevail, must surround itself with th solid muuimcnts, not only of "men,7iial minded men," but also of wealth-th sinews alike of ponce aud War? the source of dignity, influence nu power. ? ? ? > All tho street railroads in New.Yor and Brooklyn, with ono exception, hav reduced fare to five couts.

We make the following extracts from the Biohmond Dispatch:, Since our last i so no, tho great flood has been the prevailing topic of thought and conversation. Indeed, it bsa been brought to our tory doors, and left ?neb an impression upon our. city that'few-, who have witnessed the vast expanse of water, and known anything of the ruin it hoB wrongbt, will soon forgot the fresh of 1870-the greatest of a century. For? tunately, not a. single lifts.bas been lost, but not loss than 100 families have been expelled from their homes by the angry waters; and not.only, haye our business interests suffered materially from the suspension of trade cons?quent upon the excitement, -but the actual pecuniary loss sustained by this community can? not be estimated at lees than $1,000,000. We speak only of Biohmond; of what the country above us has suffered we fear to hazard an opinion. Time will bring the figuren ont with frightful boldness. THE IUSINO OF TUE WATERS. Ccmmcncing to roll down upon us at about noon on Friday, at mid-night the waters had attained a height unusual even for a freshet. All. through the night it continued to rieo in Hie harbor, at the rafe of not- less thau n foot and a half un hour. When morning came, bright and cloudless though it was, thc river was swollen to dimensions calcu? lated to fill with dismay tho hearts of nil who dwelt or did business in low lands. Tho islands'in tho river wero over-run with a rapid current; the vessels in the dock bad risen to tho level of tho wharves; the bridges over the Jumes were trembling beneath tho blows of the drift-wood and the beating of the waves against tboir tough timbers; and the re? port was that the water was slowly find? ing its way into the ?treots in the lower part of the city. There was a little lake on Gary street, and the people ol Bocketts found tho river literally at tboir doors. Still there were those whe said the fresh bad reached its highest, and that Bichmond was not in danger. Nobody fully realized the situation. THE WATER IN THE STREETS. Fortunately, however, some bad heed? ed the kindly-meant warnings receivet from the Bufferers on tho upper James and made preparations for the flood. A good deal of tho tobacco had been gottei ont of Mayo's warehouse, during .tin night, but there were still hundreds o hogsheads there, and some consignee: did not seem ut all alarmed. A tux lumber merchants bod taken precau tions, one or two foundrymeu hac cleared their floors, and many people ii Bocketts were ready to move. As re ports were received of "still rising," o "no fall," many moro began to get rend; for an overflow; and at about 10 o'clocl the whole of the lower part of the cit; was in a state of excitement. The wnte bod now risen nearly up to tho eaves o the steamboat sheds at Bocketts, am Gillie's Greek bad overflown its banks Up town also, matters looked serious From Cary street tho water passed over t Main, filling Seventeenth street as it cam along, and almost without n moment' warning the butchers and hucksters o the Old Market found their feet gettin wet. When the reporters went up t the Police Court in tho upper part c market-house at half-past 9 o'clock the walked there dry shod. When they cam out at half-past 10 the water was almot knee-deep on the pavement. Meantime tho water was still rising o Main street, and ladies traveling froi one hill to the other wero under tho nc cessity of standing up on the beuchest keep from getting wet. At 12 o'cloc the cars could no longer go across, th water being deep enough to swim horse. The cars on cither side of th stream, however, continued to nm to th water's edge during the whole day wit punctuality and regularity that reflecte credit upon tbo management of the Si perinlendent. AT THE DRIDGCS. Mayo's bridgo was tho chief point ( interest, however, during the fore poi of Saturday, for it was expected that would bo soon washed away. A larg crowd waited on the river bank for hour, in the scorching sun, waiting to soo tl; catastrophe, and, if tho truth must L told, manifested no little impatience an disappointment (such is human naturi that it so long resisted tho attack of tl: element. At one time it seemed icu po. sible that it could stand un hour. Tl: river was filled with drifting still There carno ulong logs, mill timber, ha; stacks, trunks, barrels, boxes, pieces ? fencing, chairs, tables, benches, gate wagon-bodies, hnrnesp, pumpkins au watermelons, agricultural implement boughs of trees, and two or I breo who roofs of houses. Luckily most of tl debris following tho track of tho swifte part of tho current was carried right ui der tho bridge, but other pieces we driven against tho abutments with teri bio force, and so, nt tho sumo time, tl water rapidly arose, it was evident aboi noon that tho bridge must go. At qua tor-past 12 the part over Manches! Creek parted company with the rest, ai it was followed in a fuw minutes by t that part of tho bridge, two or Min hundred yards in length, on tho Soul sido of tho island. Tho prccautioi taken by tho polico authorities wero i off oct i vo that, notwithstanding Ibo gre anxiety of tho crowd to expose Ihn selves to tho duuger of being waslli away, nobody was ou any part of tl bridge when it floated off. Mayo's gone, all eyes were turned t ward tho Danville bridgo, and it hard seemed possible that it could long wit stand the rising current. But its powc of endurance, aided by measures carril into effect by Superintendent Dodau)el nod bis assistants, proved fully equal tho octfasion. About five foot of weat erboarding was knocked off the low part of tho bridgo to allow tho water pass through, and a still moro officio means of keeping it in placo wns ti loading of a number of coal cars wi pig-iron and running them on tho bridg The tide crept up to the very floor ot tho massive structure, and the drift-wood was fiercely hurled against it without in? termission for hours; but the bridge, re? mained unshaken to the very last. The Petersburg Railroad bridge was never thought to be in danger, and it did not disappoint the expectations, of its friends. Trains ran over it when the water waa doing its worst, and.the pas? sengers, knowing its condition, felt as safe as on dry laud. nOCKETTS AMD THEREABOUTS. . Rocketts Buffered perhaps more than any other parc of tho city. The river, rising above the wharves, Bpread itself over whole blocks, and an idea of the height of tho fresh may be obtained from tho statement that only the peaks of tho roofs of the steamboat sheds were visi? ble. Gillie's Creek wns swollen to the dimensions of a good-sized river, and Bloody Run was for awhile a foaming torrent. The James River ?Steamboat Company's Bheds were swept away quito early in the notion, nnd nfter bumping against several houses and knocking down a street lamp, departed in pieces. Tho people in dwelling-houses, vainly hoping that the flood would soon sub? side, - wore driveu from floor to floor, until finally they and their furniture had to be taken out oi tho garret windows and carried away iu boats to the houses of hospitablo neighbors. THE VALLEY. As the river rose tho back-water gra? dually mndo its way up Shocko Creek until it obtained a considerable height above the key-stones of tho different arches spanning tho stream nt the street crossings. Tho bridge in rear of the Lancaaterinn school-house was carried away, and tho houses on both sides of thc creek as far up ns the foot of President Hill, consisting mostly of small framed dwellings, wero inundated. Somo of their inhabitants moved to the upper stories, but the greater number, with all their worldly goods, abandoned their homes and struck for a higher position. THE GAH WORKS. Tho river never before rose high enough to inj uro the gas works very seriously, and the Superintendent had no reason tc apprehend snch a state of affairs this time. When the day hands came to worh in the morning, tho water hud not nindi headway enough to ennse any nimm. But it soon began to rise withiu the en closure with such rapidity as to make ii necessary for work to bo abandoned. Ai 5 o'clock p. m., tho fires were all est in guished by the flood, and tho water wa: five feet deep in the rwtort-house. Th< engines were entirely submerged. Tho damage sustained by tho works i not kuown. It is feared that the retort may havo been injured by tho contrae tion consequent upon sudden cooling and that the coal has bceu rendered unfi for early uso. THE WATER WORKS. We visited the pump-house about 4 p m. on Saturday, and found the Super intondent on tho spot with his force ready for any emergency that migb arise. AU of the tools, ?to., had bee removed from tho tool-houso to hight ground out of danger, and the hour; itself, to- guard against possible washin away, securely fastened with large rope to the surrounding trees. A Bma woodoo building which had been Intel erected at the West end of the mai building, and was not completed, ha beon carried off by tho flood. Wor was stopped on Friday, and, ns a pn cautionary measure, all of the food-gat< were tightly closed. Tho water entere the main building from the river fron and rose rapidly until it had gained a elevation of four aud a half feet abo\ tho pump floor-four feet higher than was ever known at that point bcfori The machinery was submerged, L part of it being visible but the upp< portions of tho wheels and the nir-box THE CANAL. Early in the morning tho water roso I .such au extent at the first locks, aboi three miles abovo the city, as to overflo tho feeder to thu canal at that point at carry away tho cut-oft* gates, admittii a largo portion of tho river current that point. Very soou tho current w seen rushing ulong tho course of tl canal towards the basin, rapidly gainii upon tho bauks. About 10 o'clock was discovered that it was nearly upon level with tho tow-path, and at poin near Gallego Mills, tho Tredegar Work and the pump-house, was gradually stet iug over the banks. A DESPERATE ItE?.I EDY. At this juueturo it was determined cut tho caual bank, and give vent to tl rushing stream. Accordingly a gang men from tho Tredegar Works wua c! spatched immediately to n point abo 100 yards abovo tho water works, aud s to work. Aller mukiug a ditch abo three feet deep, tho entire width of i path, tho water carno rushing aud tum ling through with such impetuosity ai foreo as in a fow minutes to form an ii meuse chasm 100 foot wido aud abo forty feet deep, which gavo free vent tho pent-up power, and entirely cmpti the city sido of tho canal, thereby savi from almost certain destruction t water works, tho Tredegar Worl Gallego Mills, and other ruunufuoturi establishments ulong thu water lit But for this wise und timely actiu almost incalculable damage would ha been inflicted, throwing hundreds working men for a long timo out of e ploy mont, flooding tho ivholucity on I South of Main street from the head t he basin to Becketts, and causing note distress aud danger from a scarcity water. Tho damage to tho water works, as ! as could bo ascer'.aiued, will not exct ?5,000. Tho filling of tho canal ba above that point will be done at tho < pense of tho Trodegnr Company. SCENES AND INCIDENTS. Tho Dauvillo train, which left here Saturday morning, went only two mi from tho city, finding the truck four I under water. About oighty feet of the massive ste wall botwecu Mayo's and tho Danvi 5 Railroad bridgea were undermined and .carried away on Saturday night. A new wharf, the name of which we were unable to learn, gave way end went down the river, carrying with it a schooner. s About 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon a boat ferrying on Maid street between Hamilton's hat store and McPhail's drug store, and containing five colored per? sons, two of whom were females, wai apset, and the content? wero spilled in the water four feet deep. Nobody was drowned. We had to do without ice yesterday, tho ice-houses being submerged on Sa? turday. It was n great privation tu others besides Sons of Temperance. All the floor of tho York River freight shed was ruised by water. The track was covered to a depth of a foot or more in the tunnel near Pine and Main streets, and a couple of engines and some cars were not gotten ont of town in time to avoid being flooded. On Saturday evening our streets in tho vicinity of tho flood and Libby's aud Gamble's Hill were thronged with sight beers. It was a sight worth seeing, aud few who saw it will ever forget it. At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon tho water lind fallen from around the York River depot, so ns to aiiow them to clean up, aud wo suppose the trains will leave to-day as usual. Thc water at that time was still all along the dock on some cross streets nearly up to Cary street. TUE TIDE IlECEDES.. Tho water was at its heigbtat 10 o'clock ou Saturday night. There was no per? ceptible riso after that hour, aud at about mid-niglit there were many evi? dences of a fall. It continued to decline during the night, and at 10 o'clock in the morning had f?llen four feet. At noon, the water was about as high as it was at the samo time on Saturday. Thereafter, the fall was very rapid, and last night vehicles could pass without any difficul? ty, and pedestrians could wade any where ou tho parts of Main and Franklin streets that had been flooded. The river was not entirely confined to its limits, and was indeed higher than it is in an ordinary fresh. TUE LOSSES. As tho tido receded, our reporters were enabled to obtain more details as to the loss sustained by business houses, but even the loaor?? were uot prepared to give any reliable estimates of their da umges. MANCHESTER. On the Manchester side of tho James, tho ravages of the flood have been pro? portionately disastrous. Early Saturday morning, it became evideuttbnta most serious fresh was to be apprehended, and preparations were made at all tho manu? facturing establishments to remove all 'that was perishable or movablo. Crowds j gathered around Mayo's and the Dan? ville bridges and lined tho banks, watch? ing the tell destroyer. About 10|.i a. m., a portion of thu Southern division ! of Mayo's bridge was carried away, and I about an hour after, gallantly breasting j tho storm, the remainder was forced to succumb. Everything on Sharp's and Talbott's islands were swept away, and Belcher's narrowly escaped. TIOUSES UNDER WATER. Later in the day tho wator continued rising rapidly, aud soon that part of the town known as tho "Lower Bowery" all that portion North of Third and East of Hull streets-was deluged, in some places up to the second stories of the dwelling. The inhabitants, as well as those in Marx's Field, around the neigh? borhood of the Cool Spring, wero mak? ing precipitato flight, after moving what furniture they could to tho upper por? tions of tho houses. Tho cottuges were secured as well as possible, and left to tho mercy of tho devouring element. A wagon enguged in moving Mr. B. Puryeur was caught in tho flood, and the horses only saved by cutting them loose and leaving tho wagon and goods. A ferry, with headquarters ut Third and Hull streets, conveyed tho peoplo and some few necessary articles to places of safety. LOSSES OF THE FACTORIES. At the bucket factory of Allen it Co. the destruction was fearful-a largo quantity of stock, buckets, fte., beiug swept away. A now frame building, erected to accommodate their increasing trade, was turned over and completely wreckd. Their damage cannot be esti? mated. Tho foundry of Baird's heirs, at the other end cf the Manchester Cana! was also considerably damaged. They wore probably the next heaviest sufferers, losing patterns aud stock, in addition to the great damage to machinery. Fortunately, tho other establishments loso but littlo moro than the damage dono to machinery and the paper by stoppage. MISCELLANEOUS. The refugees were kindly cared for by their friends, and boro their fato witb perfect composure. No houses of value io or around tho town have been swept away. Somo few domestic animals perished, but the greater portion were removed to pinces of safety. Auy number of amusing incidents oc? curred, tending in a small degree to lighten tho general depression. One sud feature of thu flood is tho large num? ber of dependent persons thrown out of eiuploj'inont, including many women and children. It is hoped, however, that tho stoppage will not bo of long duration. Work had just been suspended in tho factories to allow necessary repairs to the canal and the forebaj's thereon, but at this writing tho amount of damage inflicted since tho rise cannot bo ascer? tained. It is fortunato that there has been no injury to life or limb, everybody seeming to act with the utmost caution. Early in tho day travel was allowed by tho Danville bridge, bnt later, when its destruction seemed imminent, tho com? pany wero compelled to prohibit travel, und communication was partially sus? pended with Bichmond. Lato in the evening a large number of tho blockaded reachod Home via the Pe? tersburg Railroad, the company using the small oscillating engine of the Fred erioksburg Road to convey passengers. Tho excitement in the town boa nevor boon an groat-not ?ven^n evacuation day. Business wes entirely suspended, and antil a late hour Saturday night the streets wero crowded. It is posted that arrangements will bo made with tho Pe? tersburg and Danville roads to bring over necessury articles, and that prices of tho necessaries of lifo will not be greatly advanced, as no honest person would take nd vu ut ago of the general distress. Tho toll-house remains standing as the only monument to mark where Mayo's bridge once stood. The well known and beautiful garden and dwelling of Schmidt, "Tho Guide," was destroyod. We understand that ho succeeded in re? moving most nf his furniture. No dam? age was dono the property of the Dan? ville company; it being situated on high ground. Tho water reached nour tho corner of 4th uud Porter streets, bnck ing ?ip from the break in tho canal io front of the papor mill. The paper-mill bridge was carried away, but tho arch ou Hull street still remains. Ko DOUBT.-Gen. John C. Brown, the Democratic candidate for Governor of Teunessee, made a capital speech at Chattanooga, tho other day. He deli? vered this admirable hit: "I linve thus I eeu over tho entire pint for ni, and am ?uro there is nothing in it to which uny reasonable man could object. The radicals, of course, object. I suppose if we had adopted the Ten Commandments us a platform, Rome one would have objected. I am suro tho ra? dicals would, for there is, I believe, ono of them which says, 'Thou shalt not steal.' " THU NATIONAL LUXURY.-It is com? puted that every wild Iudiau within our limits, man, woman or baby, costs the United StateB Government $350 a year. But we must trifle away our loose change on some amiable folly, nudos John Brown had a little Iudiun why should Uncle Sam deny himself a similar pet? It is pleasant to know that tho taxes go for nothing worse than cultivating lu? d?aos.-New York Herald. HOMICIDE.-A difficulty occurred at Sumter Court House, on Wednesday night last, between Edgar Bishop and. Charles Robinson, two colored men, which resulted, the next day, in tho death of tho former. The deceased was stabbed in four places-the mortal wound being in the left lung, near the heart. Robiuson was committed to jail, to await his trial.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUOUT.-It may bo truth? fully said that tho greatest of all blessings it* health, for without it tho joyB vouchsafed are turned to sorrows. To all health is essential fo- lifo's enjoyment and pursuits, to thc yoting and old, to tho rich and poor. Aro yon in search of wealth? Health is necessary.

The beauties of spring, the seng of birds, tho deep bluo sky, tho rolling ocean, all havo a poetic fascination which charms only tho healthy in mind and body; but to tho sick what aro theso but mockeries.
