COLUMBIA, -ft C. Saturday aloraing, January BB, 1871. Tb? Ejection of tr. P. Blair to the VmtU* SU&tea Senate. We receive with great satisfaction the election of Gen. F. P. Blair to the United States Senate. Tho Democratic element in that body will receive u valu? able accession. Even the opponents of the new Missouri Senator will not deny to him tho high qualities of nerve, inde? pendence and manly adherenoo to prin? ciple. He will carry with him into the Senate a vim, forco and will that will give him a largo influence; and the South may expect tho best results from his magnanimous nature and his broad and generous statesmanship. Elected to his office hy the votos both of Domocrats and liberal Bepublioans, he well repre? sents the combination of those forces which are now so much needed to har? monizo the oountry and promote its best interests. The Cu use of Francr. There seems now no doubt that tho doom of Paris is fixed. The external armies that were moviug to hor relief have been badly defeated. Chanzy, Faidherbe, Bourbaki-all huve illus? trated an unavailing valor, whilst within the oity tho sallies of Trochu have met a bloody and disastrous repulse. If tho oause of France hinges upon the cause of Paris, the end is nigh. The French have made an heroic resistance. Sur? render, now, can bring with it uo humi? liation. - The following correspondence is pub? lished for the information of parties de? sirous of settling in this vicinity: TrrusviiiiiK, PA., January 21, 1871. Messrs. E. W. Seibels d) Co.-DE AU Sins: Please send me a list of real estate for Bale in your city, what is the popula? tion, and is yonr oity improving. I wish to Bettie South somewhere, and desire some information. How about society, schools. &c? Please reply soon. Yours truly, Atc. A. L. H. CoiiTjMniA, S. C., January 26, 1871. A. L. H., Esq., Titusville, Pa.-DRAB SIR: Yours of 21st inst, is to hand, and in reply we beg leave to make the fol? lowing statement: Columbia is situated on the East bauk of tho Congarco River, which is navigable for steamboats to Granby, two miles below. Boats seldom come up this far, on account of tho oheapness of railroad transportation. First class freights from New York and Baltimore only cost merchants one dol? lar per 100 pounds. Lower classes at cheaper rates. The falls of the Oonga ree River, directly at the city, afford un? limited water-power, which is now about to bo utilized by Senator Sprugue, of Rhode Island, who is now working at tho canal, which will afford 15,000 horse? power for manufacturing purposes. This will be completed as rapidly as possible. The population, ns per census of 1870, is above 10,000, and rapidly increasing; and bids fair to rival any city in the South in manufactures and population. The health of Colombia is surpassed by no place iu the world. A gentleman, a native of New Jersey, who is now pre? sent, has just made the remark, that it is the "Gardon of Eden" os regards health. He has been a resident for twenty-four years past. Of the large number of per? sons from the Northern States who have settled here since 1805, but one death han occurred. In regard to society, there is none superior to it. Polite, relined, intelli? gent and sociable, ever ready to welcome any one of good character. A good class of merchants, a liberal board of trade. Agricultural and Me? chanical Society, who hold a fair once a year-in November-which has ul ways proved a success in promutiug the in? dustrial pursuits of the country. Schools-we have located withiu the city limits tho University of South Carolina, formerly tho South Caroliua College, which lins a full corps of pro? fessors; a Femalo College, under the auspices of tho Methodist Church, thc exercises of whioh aro suspended at pre? sent, but will be resumed after tho 1st of September next; tho Malo Academy, under Professors Thompson and David? son, besides a number of private schools, with the Vt!ry best teachers, both male and female, with ample facilities for ordinary education at the public schools. Tho Ursuline Couvent uud Academy, at "Valle Crucis," about three miles from the city, is tho place where young ludios can get u most polished oducatiou. This is a very popular school, from tho fact of its superiority of government. As for real estate, knowing ones .say it is bound to advance, and even now. some of the best financial men in this oountry ure invosting in unimproved property. Runts aro high aud pay land? lords well. We can sell you property at any price, from a S?30 unimproved lot to a $15,000 furnished residence; and, in truth, wo know of no placo that presents us many advxntages to a businessman and capitalist, as docs Columbia, ut tho present time, and would advise you to run down to seo us, and become con? vinced for yourself. Should you desiro further information, we will cheerfully give it. Very respectfully, E. W. SEIBELS Sc CO. -< # ? > DEATH OF MK. RAMSEY.-Wo aro pained to announce tho death of Mr. Aloxundor Ramsey, at his residence in this County, on tho 20th instant. Mr. Ramsoy was ono of our best citizens, and had lived to an advanced age. His sufferings from cancer, (whioh caused his death,) was long and most aoute. I Kcu icon Co ur it .?.. SENATE CBAMBSB, January 26, 1871. MB. EDITOB: Ia y ca tor day > issue of the iMtngtajiI>^#^^Pg?^*bioh has been placed iojiuy parida t$f a ?ionft I find my recant notion io tho Somite, in introducing h bilpto provi? fdr tho election by tho pcoplo of County Tre.v surors and County Auditors, severely and abusively oritioised. If the writer had contented himself with giving a state? ment of fads, ao great is my aversion to newspaper notoriety that I should havo treated the article with tho contempt which is due to the fertile brain of one who could concoct and publish to tho world, for truth, suoh u concatenation of deliberate and malicious misrepresenta? tions. But, inasmuch as those state? ments are calculated to decoive, I feel it due to myself, to justice and to truth, that I should set myself right, and, at tho samo time, set him right also. I will not undertake to reply seriatim to the numberless things that ho "desires to know," but I will answer his leading queries. First. He desires to know, "as thc Constitution of tho State mudo theso of? fices emotive throe years ugo, why is it that the binding obligation of that sa? cred instrument has boon na long ig? nored?" My reply to this question is that tho "saored instrument" dons not raako these offices elective. The terms County Trea3uror, County Auditor and Tax-Collector, are nowhero to bo found in the "sacred instrument." Secondly. He wants to know "why tho said Senator has just now wuked up to tako a position different from that which he has heretofore so willingly acquiosccd in?" My answer is t?mpora mutant ur, el nos mutamur in Ulis. Great changes have taken place in tho last two years in public sentiment, and what may havo beon wisdom then might bo folly now. Ko citizen of South Carolina desires more earnestly than I do to see tho dawn of that day when the political straight jacket shall be torn from the body of every disfranchised Carolinian, and when regenerated and redeemed, ho shall stand again before the world re-in? vested with evert/ right of which he has beou temporarily divested. As to tho iuoimialio? that I have violated my oath in setting asido ono of tho "plainest provisions of tho Constitu? tion," loan only repeat that tho Consti? tution is silent with regard to tho wholo matter; and it is a Utile surprising that one who permitted his great light to shine in tho Club House during sixty days for tho miserable pittauco of eleven dollars a day, should display such a lamentable degree of ignorarme of the "saorod instrument" which ho helped to frame. Another orr^r of tho writer is con? tained in the following: "The body of which he is a member, has just drawn something like $20,000 to pay them? selves for extraordinary services on a Christmas loaf of two weoks." To this charge I reply that it is false in every particular. The Senato at present con? sists of twenty-nine members, and tho amount "drawn" was less than $2,500. For myself, individually, I can state that I have always believed it wrong to draw pay during the recess, and my votes, recorded upou the journal, will prove it. It is likely "Oue of tho People," in figuring up his statistics, stumbled on the calculation of a certain short-lived Con? gressman, who spent three months in Washington and "drew something like" $5,000 for his "extraordinary services." In conclusion, Mr. Editor, allow me to impress upon the people of my nativo County this fact: lu this affair I havo not been the aggressor. Tho right of sclf-defeuco is inalienable, and by tho grace of God, I intend to exerciso it whilo I live. "OnAof the People" thought, doubt? less, fa& by pouring such a broadside into mtrcfrom his heavy artillery, ho would silonoo my battery at onco and forever; but "I Btill live," and tako wonderful consolation in tho following lines of Goldsmith : "Bill soon a wonder came, to light. Which proved thc rogues they heil; The /H'm recover'd of tho hito Thc dog it was that died." Respectfully, your fellow-citizen, E. S. J. HAYES. INCENDIARISM.-Wo regret to .slate that the dwelling, smoke-house and kitchen of Mr. Androw Estes, living uear Cross Keys, wero entirely consumed, with nearly all their coutents, on Satur? day night lust. It was tho work of an incendiary, by tho name of Mike Bobo, a negro, who has been arrested and con? fessed the crime.

Tho incendiary's torch was tho cause, and a colored mon, who lins Nineo disap? peared, is no doubt tho fiend who ap? plied it.- Union Times. SUDDEN DEATHS.-On Friday morning of Jast woek, Mr. William Johnson, an old and worthy citizen of Camden, was found dead in his bed. Tho fact hoing reported to Coroner J. A. Schr?ck, ho at once impanolled a jury of inquest, who, after hearing testimony, rendered tho following verdict: That tho deceased carno to his death from a sudden attack of illness), occasioned by oating oysters which were probably tainted, on tho night of January 19," 1871.
