Thursday filornin??. Octobor 27, X87?. "How Ea?y la c\ Bttatt Bnppoaatl ? Pesir'.?*, Oar readers have read, no doubt, the statement of Governor Scott's appeal to Washington for aid. Ho reported that tko "robots" w.ere on tko rampage! that a body of mon, armed to the teeth, were marching on La^rensviHe! that they were going to attaok/.-Lanfensville! that they wero destroying the ballot-boxes and kicking thom about like so many foot-balks! Como, taja bia "Valiancy," to Beltfbap, come t6 my aid; my "picket line." open which I have stood so long, wavers. Thus Gov. Scott appears in bis role of Baron Munchausen. He wears the laurels of a first-class sensationist. Let him telegraph to Washington again. Let him* say that the French have taken PariB-that tho Datoh are marching on Holland, and the measure of his fame will bo completo. )fj - -;-: ? - - Col umbin- Tlio Statu Fair. 5b!$!?b!fi, th? be?iG??a! capital of .Sooth Carolina, is located in the into iri^ olState, ^np?? tba level lands, neat* tho banks of the Congnree. The oi^:;^W^??^VI??d off, with wide Btroota, ' ahd is nuuauully well-draihcd, tho water running off North, South, East and West Before tho burning and pillage of Columbia, by General Sher? man's army, near the close of tho war, the eity was regarded one of the hand? somest iU tho United States-character? ized by its broad streets, its double and triple lines of shade trees, its fine pri? vate , residences, and its beautiful gar? dens." It was, also, the seat of much of the worth, the intelligence, sud the beauty of the State. Tho enemy came and doomed the capital of South Caro? lina to the flames. Tn one night, tho fire-fiend, aided nnd abetted by fiends in human shape, did his work with devilish success/ .Tho heart of the city was con? sumed, and tho beauty" of Columbia turned into ashes and charred ruins. But the citizons did not long despond. Soon they resolved to live, and not die, and with resolute will and hearts full of hope and faith, they began the work of reconstruction. Since 1865, that work has.been steadily progressing. lu spite o( ibo inoubus of bad government, and a regime antagonistic to capital and nu? merical accessions, the rebuilding of the city has been pressed. Churches, rail? road depots, stores, warehouses, shops, mills, private residences, printing esta? blishments have gone up. Ornamental trees have been replanted. Bridges have been rebuilt. New hotels have opened their doors to the traveler and visitor. Thus Columbia, owing to the energy and will of her sons, aided by generous capital from abroad, is fast rising from her ashes, and, God helping, her people hope soon to see her once again clothe herself with the robes of her dignity, and again put upon her brow the diadem of her beauty. Columbia certainly has a promising future. Tho advantages she possesses of climate, health, education, water power and railroud facilities are marked and peculiar 1. Tho CLIMATE of Columbia makes the city second only, if not equal, to Aiken, in the matter of health. In? valids aud others from the North in search of health can find no better place than Columbia. The city is high and dry, and free from malarious influences, whilst tho drives, the walks and the usual city attractions unite with thc pure, bracing air to bring buck strength to the sick man and tho bloom of health to the cheek of beauty. 2. Tho RELIGIOUS and EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES of Columbia commend it to settlers. The Episcopalians, the Roman Catholics, the Presbyterians, the Metho? dists, tho Baptists and tho Lutherans have ali their respective church edifice* with their Sunday Schools. Here, too, is located a Theological Seminary, under the auspices of the Presbyterians. Auel we learn that arrangements aro now making to establish a Baptist Theologi? cal College, whilst tho Lutherans con? template al.-o the removal to this poinl of the theological department of theil College, located at Walhalla. Here, too, are located the State Lunatic Asy. lum and tho South Carolina University, with its sobools of science, literature, lauguago, law and medicine. Here, too, is the Columbia Malo Academy nnd thc Columbia Female Academy, and otho] excellent schools for boys and girls, Tho Howard School for colored pupils i? located hero. Near by, also, is the well known institution of Vullo Cracis. A Young Men's Christian Association hn? its rooms and its meetings here. 3. Tho WATER POWER possessed by thii city in tho Columbia Canal is a grane element of her futuro development. Thii power is now in the hands of Mr Sprague, of Rhode Island. Wo are in Tprfceann?i ir?jTnwtrdr ww?a^pa^ enterprise. Wo know tb nt this irater 'power will oomparo favorably with that possessedly any otbbr 'Southern city, ?t can Bt&tilizel!at a gbst inst'maltes this utilization a praotical thing and .a good investment. There is required only the genius of the engineer, to plaoe at our feot obedient to our will the whole power of the river that flows at this moment idly by, murmuring iu its com? parative uselessness, whilst it might boil and roar in its utilized strength and majestic force. Lot Mr. Spraguo give us a canal worthy of the water power and worthy of himself, aud the numerous mill-sites that will thus be rendered pos? sible will be his monuments, mid contri? buto to give us the assurance of a grand futuro for Colombia. The possibilities of the water power may well excite hope for a prosp?rons city. 4. The MANUFACTURING ESTABLISH? MENTS in Columbia aro even now con? siderable. We havo near by tho Saluda ! mills and numerous saw-mills. We have a large tannery. We have the Colombia cotton seed oil mills. We havo several iron foundries, planing mills, and blind, sash and door factories. We have a boiler-making establishment, a gin fac? tory and tin establishments. We have a blank-book manufactory and printing and job houses. We havo a fine photo? graphic establishment. We have boot and shoo establishments, and other me? chanical operations. We have also a brewery and an ice factory. 5. The COMMERCIAL FACILITIES pos? sessed by Colombia are worthy of notice. Our cotton houses, our grocery houses, our dry goodu establishments, our book stores, our drug houses, our clothing stores, crockery houses, banks and bank? ing houses-all offer quite as good in? ducements as aro elsewhere presented. At Columbia is located thc CITIZENS' SAVINGS BANK OF SOUTH CAROLINA, will its branches at Abbeville, Camden, Chester, Charleston, Laurene, Newberry, Spartanburg, Sumter, Union and Yurk, Here, too, are located the Carolina Na tional Bank, the Bauk of Scott, Son A Co., and the South Carolina Bank anc Trust Company. Herc, too, we have th< COLUMBIA BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIA TION, and the agencies of several excel lent insurance companies. G. The RAILROAD FACILITES of Columbii make its future bright. Here converg? and meet tho lines of the South Carolin: Railroad, tho Greenville and Columbi: Railroad, tho Charlotte, Columbia an< Augusta Railroad, making tho capital i centre, whence tho blood of trade o stream of travel may be scut into an; portion of South Caroliua. Here, too will soon come the railroad from Sumter to bring us in more direct commuuicn tion with Wilmington-to say uothiu? of other railroads projected. 7. Lastly, Columbia is the seat of th STATE AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICA SOCIETY OF SOUTH CAROLINA. The beau tiful grounds of this Society, consisti? of about twenty-seven acres, are situate on Upper street, in the North-easter part of tho city, and near the beautifi cemetery of Elmwood, which overlook tho river. The origiual buildings of th Society were destroyed when Columbi was fired. In 18G9, owing to the libera it}' of the city of Columbia, Mr. Joh McKenzie, Mayor, a largo building, wit out-buildings, was erected for tho pm poses of a State Fair, and the ground putin order. Tho buildings and ground were then formally made over by tho Cit Council to Messrs. J. li. Palmer, Wn Wallace and J. P, Thomas, as Trusted for tho usc and benefit of thc STAT AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL Soon TY OF SOUTH CAROLINA, so long ns might keep up its Fairs. Thc Fair wi held iu 18G9, and, although the circus stances therewith connected were unpn pitious, it proved a great success. Tl crowd was large, and the display < stock and articles respectable. Thia yet much larger results are confidently antic pated. Thc main building has been oi largcd, and its interior accommodatioi increased. A double piazza has bec erected in front, enabling the visitors overlook tho ring whero tho stock is e bibitcd. The office in front has be< repaired nud refurnished. The groum have beeu put in good order. Tl fencings will be white-washed, and tl buildings colored. Thc ring will be c largcd, and thc central stand made two stories, and capacious enough to i ceivc thc musicians above, and the Slo Committee below. lu the main boil ing, tho President will bo provided wi a neat office, and a retiring room will provided for ladies. In line, every i rangement will bo made to make visite to the Fair comfortable. Tho Socie mises its flag of Industrial Developmc and Stato Ke-union.

The Newberry Herald suys: The time for temporizing, argument and concilia? tion is passed ; we shall im vo no more of it. A straight and severe line must be drawn between the races; tho colored people hnve chosen their gronnd, with the ad? vice of the ring-leaders, and they must follow it out without aid or sympathy from their former white friends. The white people have tho power, and the brains, and the determination to hold their own, and protect themselves, and they will do so. The negroes have fol? lowed their deviens one timo too many, and now let them look to others for help, assistance and sympathy. In pursuance o? n resolution passed at the regular meeting of the County Union Reform Society, on Monday last, a meeting ol ibo citizens present on Thursday last was held, at which, among others, the following resolutions were passed and directed to be published in the Newberry Herald: Resolved, That it is thc sense of this meeting that the efforts of the good citizens of this County, to remedy tho inefficiency and corruption now prevail? ing, should not cease now that tho pro sent political campaign has olosed. Resolved, That a meetinof tho citizens of this County be called on the first Monday in November next, at Newberry Court House, to consider the best means for advancing the publia welfare, and what lino of policy will be m jst consist? ent for us to adopt in the future. THE RESULE-OUR FUTURE.-Tho Ma? rion Star says: The election has pasied and our fate is sealed for the next two yours. While we havo no doubt that Scott and his Ring will plunder the State during another gubernatorial term, but our peoplo have dono well, and wo can still sec a bright spot iu the future for oar honest citizens. Faith in our coarse will bear U6 np. Let no one who is true to his country and family despair, but contiuue to work with the samo energy and determination which has governed his actions for tho last twelve months. In the face of all thc frauds and corrup? tion of our present State govermeut, tho colored people, with their blind preju? dices against the white people, have yielded and been influenced in their ac? tions by their rudical masters, and suf? fered themselves to bo used as tho mise? rable tools of their designing leaders. Their actions in the last election will only recoil on their own heads, and they will learn, sooner or later, that they will be the sufferers of their own folly. They have spurned Ibo advice and counsel of those who are too proud to deceive them, and yielded it to the political cunning? ness of dishonest men from abroad and unprincipled renegades at home. But, "Truth crush cd to earth, will riso again." Let the honest peoplo of our Statestand shoulder to shoulder in good faith, and depend upon their own right, and victo? ry will yet be ours. Let tho faithful few colored men who have acted so nobly for the cause of reform and truth hold out faithful to the end, and they will lind that they havo shown themselves not un? worthy of the consideration of all of our good citizens.

N-i TEAGUE, Probate Jadge. COLUMBIA, October 26, 1870. MB. EDITOH: The vote in Barnwell has been estimated with some care, and the result is as favorable to the ring ticket as a fair count would make it: Beform, 2,020; ring ticket, 1.G89; split, 1,605. Mr. Editor, you will now see why C. D. Hoyne, James N. Hayne and J. W. Misson refuso to count the votes in the presence of the people. The two Haynes are caudidates for the Legislature, and Misson is a poor candidato for Probate Judge. Bring on the militia! Bring on the United ?States soldiers, and if any man dare say MO, run bim through. Only think of it, the vote is very closo say 100 either way-and these candidates shut up in a room to count the votes. After they have counted, then what? they de? stroy tho ballots-destroy tho evidence of their guilt. Let us have peace! Long live the Bepublio. C. P. LESLIE. The Brenville Advertiser, Bepu ?li oau, referring to tho election of E. W. Thomas, Esq., to the Nebraska Senate, on the Democratic tioket, Bays: Mr. Thomas, tho Senator, is a very moderate Democrat, bas but litt lo to say in politics; is ono of the best lawyers in the State; one of Ncmaha's best and most substantial citizens, and will make a sound aud valuable Legislator. He is thoroughly conversant with the wants of this County, and will, with the balance of the delegation elect, serve the Couuty faithfully. While we regret exceedingly the de? feat of Dr. Stewart, and moro particu? larly the manner in which it was done, we feel that we cannot say less thuu the foregoing for Mr. Thomas. FOUND DEAD.-lu the afternoon of yesterday, some timo after the excite? ment in the village, tho dead body of Mr. Lewis Dial, was found in the rear of | the residence of his son-in-law, Joseph Crews, in a neighbor's garden. No signs of violence were found on his person, as we learn. It is supposed that he be? came excited during the fray, ami start? ing to get away from the town, died of disease of the heart. Ho was nu old citizen bf Laurens, and was respected by our people, and had mauy sympathizing friends. Ho took no part in politics. [Laurensville Herald, 21s/.

During our late war, and we believe since tho inauguration of the prevailing war in Eoropc, it. has been clearly de? monstrated that rains nro produced by tho exp?o -non of largo quantities of gun? powder. In this fact wo havo the germ of a great discovery in natural science that will, at some future time, add to our control (and for a good purpose) over inanimate nature. The drought which has wrought great damage, this year, on both sides of tho Atlautic, sug? gests at onco tho great propriety, if not actual necessity, of pressing the conse? quences noted to a practical and conclu? sive issue.

Oun BOOK TAULE.-We have just re? ceived tho first number of Scribner's Monthly-an illustrated magazine for tho people, conducted by J. G. Holland. It is a readable publication, and, if suc? ceeding numbers keep up with tho ini? tiative, will become intensely popular.

Tho November number of the River? side M<ttjazint>., for young people, pub? lished by Hurd & Houghton, New York,is worthy a placo in every family. Send for a specimen number. Tho snscrip tion price is S2.50 a year. Messrs. Bryan Ar McCarler have fur? nished us with No. 31G of Harpers1 "Library of Select Novels"-"Estelle Russell," by tho author of tho "Private Lifo of Galileo." The price is 75 cents. It is au indifferently well-written story, intended to illustrate tho evils likely to ariso from ill-assorted marriages. Thc plot hinges upon a marriage of conve? nience, and tho characters are all well drawn. Besides being interesting, it is well calculated to wield a good influence in vidicating the sacredness of thc mar riago tie. To Messrs. Duffie & Chapman aro wc indebted for No. 317 of tho same series "Tho neir Expectant," by tho author of "Raymond's Heroine," etc. Prico 50 cents. Another of those domestic stories of English lifo with which tho world of fiction is now deluged, very cleverly con? trived, and quito full enough of inci? dents to interest. It is the record of an English family, with a daughter born to wealth and luxury, and rich in all thoso aristocratic faults, with which it is the fashion to endow wealthy people. She is a coquette in the most heartless sense of tho word, and in common with many others, rejects the suit of honest John Thwaites. By-and-by, the young lady's father gets iuto trouble, does things he ought not to do, while courts of justice are lying around loose, and finally goes to ruin. ~* Th? r?l!?*wTng T? n recapitulation of R?? toto in Bichland County.
