COLUMBIA, S. C. Friday Moraing, January 6.1871. The war despatches continuo to indi? cate the extraordinary energy with which the French commanders are poshing for ward their up hill work. Though gain? ing no decisive advantage, they no longer experience an nnbrokon series of reverses, and the fact has a natural and controlling influence on the national mind. The French situation is to-day better, in many respects, than at any previous moment since the surrender at Sedan. The sufferings of the German troops are terrible. The freezing to death of car-loads of wounded soldiers is one of the most appalling incidents of the war. The inclemency of tho weather operates unfavorably upon the means of communication with sonrocs of supplies, and the troops around Paris are conse? quently not so woll off as tho besieged forces. The London Spectator s' ows why France should not surrendor. The fact is there is no centro of authority in France to make a peace involving humi? liating concessions to a conqueror. The conditions and the Government which consentod to them would both bo repu? diated when the nation found leaders it could respect enough to obey. Socio time since the Spectator thought Gam? betta was the M?ses who was to lead the French through the Red Sea of war, but recent occurrences makes it say: "Un? questionably there is a real graudour in the sombre enthusiasm of Gen. Trocho, who has never yet quailed and never ut? tered a sanguine word; hut just worked and fought on with grave, melancholy ardor." If Gen. Trocha really succeeds in keeping the Prussians out of Paris it will endear him forever to all French? men. Ho is a typo of character much more likely to bo admired at home and abroad than the energetic but somewhat explosive Gambetta. TUE TUMBLE IN RENTS IN NEW YOHK. - A correspondent speaks as follows of the great tumble in rents in Gotham : I will mention a few instances tu show the direction which rents are taking. A large store, a little further down town than the present centro of the dry goods business, was leased a few years ugo at $16,000 per annum for five years. Tho lessees having failed, the ?toro was rented last year at $10,0U0. Tho tenants now decliue to pay moro than $8,000, ami a bill on the premises for severul mouths hus failed to attract any ouo who will pay more than tho last named sum. A store, which rented four years ugo at $18,000, is now held at $12,000, hut does not ii nd a tenant, though it has been in the market for a month. Though Broad way landlords are satisfied to accept tho lowest prices of last year, tenants are unwilling to pay them, and demand a reduction. A largo store erected on Canal street nearly two years ago, for whioh the owners refused au offer of $24,000 rent while building, has never been occupied, and has recently been leased at $13,OOO por annum. A shoo dealer has taken for $7,500 a year a store on Broadway, near Pearl street, for which the present occupant pays $14,000 a year on a long lease. Tho same mau was offered two other stores on Broad? way, in the same vicinity, at $4,000 less than the present tenants are now paying, on leases which are about to expire. Rents for offices iu Wall street and vioinity are taking the samo direction, as mauy of '.ha brokers and lawyers ure having rather a hard struggle for exist? ence just now. A collective protust against a Boua partist restoration has been addressed to the Independence Beige, feigned by a very large number of French officers, prison? ers of war. The document runs thus: "While our country is making vigorous efforts to repulse the foreigner, the Bo Dapartist is seeking to foment dissension by the report of au imperial restoration, to be seconded by the Freuch ormy now imprisoned in Germany. We, prisoners of war, protest against such attempts, and we declaro that wo will never join, either now or at any future time, in any enterprise o? that kind against tho will of the nation." The protest is signed by General tho Comte do Chnnalcilles, Generals DeCourcy and Fiehot, Colonel Lewal, and by upwards of 130 other of? ficers, principally of tho ranks of captain and lieu ten.mt. THU SOUTH OAIIOLIKA RAILKOAJJ COM? PANY.-This Company has declared a January dividend of one dollar a share, payable on tho 1st February next. Tho operations of tho Company for tho past year will bo shown in detaifiu the annual report, but wo aro able at this time to state, with oxactucss, that tho road and rolling stock have been maiutained in a condition of thorough efficiency, that the dividend is paid cut of legitimate net earnings, and that tho your 1870 is tho most prosperous and satisfactory which the Company hos experienced siuco tho begiuniug of tho late war. lu truth, tho Company is now reaping the fruits of its sound policy and judicious man? agement, and has before it, wo hope and believe, a career as profitable to tho stockholders as beneficial to tho public at large.-Charleston Ne ?es. Au Illinois grooer had an empty kero? sene barrel which ho wishod to clean out to paok pork in, so he lit a match aud put it in tho bung-hole. That was tho last public act of his Ufe, G3 ho was blown clear out of the country. LEGISLATIVE PROCBBOIWOS. THURS DA Y. JAKTJABY ?, 1871. SENATE.

Puuzebeiter it Co., ut St. Stephen's Depot, ou the North-eastern Railroad, took lire, ami iu Hie course of au hour was burned to thu ground. The fire caught iu one of the saw gins of the establishment, and gotttng among the lint CcttOU, spread so rapidly in every direction us lo defy any attempt to put il out. Five horses and two fine car? riages were burned. 3U0 bushels of corn, ten bales of sea island colton aud two of upland, belonging to R. Tnttlo and W. (Jautlou, and 2UU bushels of cot? ton seed, which were iu the building, were all consumed. The dwelling house of Messrs. H. Pauzebeitor & (Jo. was also considerably du in aged. There wus I no insu raucoou nuy of tho property de i stroyed. There are memories connected with the past year which must sudden it for? ever iii the minds of millious. Stout old David Farragut, the Nelson of tho Wes? tern world, tho bru vest of tho brave, sleeps tho sleep from which no drum? beat calling to quarters shall again sum? mon him to lead his gallant sailors into the hail of hostile fleets and bntterics. Robert E. Lee, tho grout captaiu of the lost cause, has gone to his gravo.

There is a Dian living in tho mountains of North Carolina, not moro thuu forty miles from Greeuvillo, S. C., says the Tarboro Carolinian, who has reached the extraordinary age of 113 years. At the time of Brudtlbck's defeat he was twenty years old, anti had u wife and three chil? dren. A goutlemau at Greenville states thut this mau, who jius come dowu to us from a former generation, has always been in motltratu circumstances; lived upon a course vegetable diet; that he has never drank any liquid but spring waler, and bids fair to live many years longer. Ho enjoys perfect health; possesses all of manhood's attributes, and wishes to marry. Ho hus survived seveu wives, and having lost bis last one about sixty years ago, he now begins to feel quito louoly. BURNING OP ANOTHER GIN HOUSE.-We learn from tho Marion Crescent that the gin house of Mr. James A. Pettigrew, near Florence, in this Stato, waa burnt on last Sunday night. Tb? Ifcceultjr for Political Reform* Tho New York Herald says that the political situation in this country waa never moro tamo and flat.and devoid of excitement than it is now. "Never was there such a luck of strong public moo. of leading and powerfnl minds." This is owing to tho fact that a mere sectional party hold? power, by its constant ap? peal to meru Heotioaal feeling. Loyalty to the Union is the worn-out cloak under which all power moves. Tho work of many years will he needed to repair the wrongs that have been dono iu tho uumo of loyalty tu the Union. It ia not hy u mere chango of men, hut hy a chango in the principle of action, thnt strong pub? lic men, and leading und powerful minds will be brought into power. Groat pur? poses must be avowed as tho object of pnblio notion before great minds will be roused to accomplish public action. To use the power of the Government to suppross the mero appeal auce of a dis? loyalty long since crushed, is so pucrilo that no real mind will he employed about it. Let tbo great issues involving tho trae operation of tho Government for tho benefit of the governed bo once moro revived. Let tho uttentiou of the people be once more directed to tho promotion of the general interest, and diverted from tho more effort to exalt one section and to depress tho other. Let parties once more divide ou real national issues. Thou may wo expect to see mind, aud not mero power, ruling ia our borders. The party ia power boasts its loyalty-and has nothing else to offer. This has been so effective in securing its power, that tho party has done its own will, und not the will of thc poople. Wbeuover tho peoplo got impatient, this party statis off ou some uow plan of annoy nuce. In this wny the peoplo have been amused until the country bun beou nearly ruined. It is time that something else shall now ho attempted. A party that ouly boosts its ability to suppress an abiudoncd rebel? lion, aud only regards the imposition and the removal of obstructions ami disabilities ns Gt subjects for action, has had its day. It ought and must give wny for moro real and practical work. [Philadelphia Enquirer. Tiru "NI?W STYIIES."-The tendency of tho times is for the feminine "fashion? able" to array themselves iu thc east-oil' habiliments of their ancestors, under tho specious but flimsy disguiso of "new stylus." This is either a proof of tho poverty of invention of tho present ince id costumers and fashion-mongers, or au evidence I hut wo uro awaking to a recognition ol tho fact that lhere is, after all, nothing really new under ttl?: sim, or perhaps we should suv, before thu mirror. Certain il is that in a milli? nery, mantua making, haberdashery, tailoring und hair dressing sense, we ure retrograding and falling back upon the models which wo have voted ridiculous and "old fushioued" any time this thirty years. This may bu on tho theory that what is venerable is respectable-other? wise it might bo ridiculous. A NonjjU TRIBUTE.-Among tho suf? ferers by the awful .calamity in Rich? mond, on Christmas morning, was a yoong mau, Samuel Hiues, whose name deserves to ho passed around, that it may bo mentioned and written with that homage which geuuinc horoism over in? spires. Twice, at the imminent peril of his life, ho rushed through the tiro and smoke, and safely emerged again, drag? ging with him some a u fort ti nato whom terror had deprived of the power of self exertion, lie was seen to dash into tho burning mass a third time, but au instant after, the forked Hames shot up in all directions slmttiug him from the view of tho enthralled spectators, und tho gallant soul came back no moro. [Neto 1'urk Commercial Advertiser. TEMPEST IN A TEA-POT.-Tho Rich? mond Enquirer says of the quarrel now raging between Grant aud a portion of the radicals in Congress: "That sort of people quarrel when it is their interest to do so, and they soon become friendly when they in.ike by it." Just so. Quarrels among thieves and dishonest politicians amount to but little. They aro banded together by tho cohesive power of the public plunder, and a libcru? division is all that is necessary to pucify tho fiercest feuds, lt will uot do, therefore, for Democrats to trust to radical divisious for their own success; it is to bo won solely by a bold, per? sistent t\ud fearless devotion to truth and tho country. AWFUL TRAGEDY.-Boar Island, situ? ated in L-.iko Maurepas, was, on tho 9th instant, tho theatre of the most horrible accident ever recorded in this parish. Mr. Reine was pouring coal oil in a lighted lamp, which his son held in his hand. Fha caught in the oil cuu, which exploded, scattering flames on the father and son. Mrs. Reine and her four children crowded around them, and tr cd to extinguish the burning lava. These, unfortunately, caught fire also, and futhor, mother, and four children, were burned to death. Ono little boy saved himself by tearing off his clothes. [Shreveport (La.) (Jlizette. It is said that some of thonierchauts of New York aro apprehensive thal Stiheuck wiii iuvoive us in a war with England. It certainly does look a little as if the sending of such a man over (hero ought to bo considered sufficient grounds for war, but, inasmuch as Spain hus stood Sickles without a fight, wo really think that a Christian nation Uko Great Uri tat II ought to make un effort to stand Sclrenck. I Louixvillu Courier-Journal* A mau living in Bristol, on tho Vir? ginia border, after indulging in stimu? lants the other day, kicked ono of his acquaintances aoross the Ututo Hue iuto Tennessee. For this little unlawful di? version ho was iirst arrested uud tined in Goodson, Tenn., und on his return homo was arrested and lined in Bristol. CoNTB?Tmo SKATS.-The practico of contcatiug the seats of members of Con? gress by defeated candidatos .'who think they have chanco of scouring from %he House the prize "which the people failed to bestow upon them, has become a Very serions abuse. Thirty contested cases have been before the Election Commit? tee of tho present House, and the pros? pect for tho Forty-Second Congress is said to be but little better. In salaries alone over $50,000 was paid to theso con? testants in tho pre-iunt House, and as much moro in expenses. Tho printing of thu testimony in one caso alone cost nearly 67,000. In view of these enor? mous expenses, tho bill of last winter, which provides that HO payment be mndo to a contestant unless ho estab? lishes his right to a scat, will probably bo again presented, and, if so, there ought to bo no doubt of its passage. WOMEN'S BIGHTS.-Some curious case.? aro about to como up before the Uuited States District Court, now in session. It seems that four women on Lady Island voted ns proxies for their husbands and sons. In one caso the sou luipponed to bo under age. TU cse four pioneers of women suffrage were arrested by the Bowen party, and arrived here per steamer from Lady Island last night. At tho election, when tho poll was first opened, DeLargo tickets wore distribut? ed generally to tho crowd by Samuel Green, now a member elect of tho Gene? ral Assembly. At Samuel's suggestion, and with the connivance of his father, who was Chairman of tho Board of Man? agers, these women deposited iu tho box tho votes of their relatives, who were absent-perhaps voting somewhere else. [ Charleston Nb irs. The Washington Chronic/'!, of Monday, contains thc valedictory of it<t late editor, Colonel John W. Forney. The reason he assigns for retiring from the Chronicle is that the expanding iuterests of his Philadelphia paper; tho Press, require al) his attention. He makes no allusion in his valedictory to tho President. Fairmount Park, of Philadelphia, is said to he tho largest park in this coun? try, beiug much moro than three times tho. ??zo of tho Central Park, New York. It is also much larger than tho Bois de Bologne, at Paris, and is ono of tho very largest public parks in tbe*world. lu connection with the bridal death of Mrs. Maggie Beck Corc.orau, in Wash? ington, the Paris 7 Vite Kentuckian says: "A funeral cortege crossed her-bridal coach, at Lexington, and tho supersti? tious then predicted death."
