Saturday aLomin*, February 18.1871. We can no longer doubt tho Radical party aa being of "enlarged ideas," when we ?nd its leaders gravely advocat? ing continental unification, or the exten? sion of oar territory from the North to the Isthmus of Suez, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Tho idea of embracing all the entire continent under ono government may well be designated as "enlarged"-enlavgod out of the realms of possibility and common sense. The Radical party, in it? bigoted pre* sumption, is the only organization we ever heard or read of, whioh attempted to fight nature and her laws-a contest as hopeless as it is absurd. Where any marked difference exists in climate, soil, productiveness and race, corresponding differences must exist in habits and cus? toms, and upon the latter all govern? ments are reared. It is the old story of the Tower of Babel over again, and, like it, doomed to result in disaster to the builders. By far the most cheering siga of our future prosperity lies iu the fact that the censas demonstrates a rapid increase of population in the late slaveholdicg sec? tion. Notwithstanding the devastation left by the war, it shows an increase of 1,500,000 of population over the census of I860. These facts demonstrate the existence of a constant tide of emigra? tion from the North and North-west into the cotton and sugar producing States. If Congress and the Administration, in? stead of throwing obstacles in tho way of their farther recuperation, would wisely determine to assist them, the great benefit resulting to the whole coun? try by a vast increase of our productive wealth weald more than ten-fold repay tho outlay. The suicidal policy which prevents tbe opening and protection of every available avenue of commerce, cannot be justified upon other grounds than that of stupidity or insanity. -?-??-? It appears that America has its Joan D'Arc aa well as France, although only discovered through the unromantic agency of a Congressional appropriation. Miss Anna Ella Carroll; of Maryland, is the fair warrior, who has just received au appropriation o' $5,000 for planning the Tennessee River expedition, which resulted so disastrously to the Confede? rate cause. Col. Thomas A. Scott states that, in 1861, Miss Carroll culled on him as Assistant Secretary of War, and sug? gested the propriety of abandoning thu expedition whioh was then preparing to descend the Mississippi River, and adopt, instead, the Tennessee River, and hand? ed to him the plan of a campaign, which plan he submitted to the Secretary of War, and its general ideas were adopted. Where, ba your generals now? Aud to whom is the glory of conquering the re? bellion mainly due? Not to Grant, Sherman or Thomas, surely, but to Miss Anna Ella Carroll, who deserves to be immediately elected permanent Secreta? ry of War and Generalissimiss of the Armies of the United States, instead of being foisted off with a paltry $5,000. Dook to it, Susan Anthony! Invoke your thaoders, Mrs. Stanton! The pri? vileges of the sex must be vindicated. TUE CHARLOTTE, COLUMBIA AND AU?

EDITOR: A few facts iu the his? tory of Turkish baths in New York may be of interest to those of your readers who are interested in tho cause of public health. To every thinking miud tho importance of this form of bath, espe? cially in a Southern climate, must bc ap? parent. Yet I am not aware that any efforts have been made to introduce it in the South at all. The first Turkish bath established iu America was in New York-or rather Brooklyn-by Dr. ChaB. H. Shepard, of 81 Columbia Heights, Brooklyn, in 1863. He began in May of that year, but it was not till October that he advertised his establishment as open to the public. Bathers came in slowly at first-ono or two a week; then more, and more. Dr. Shepard's recently published report gives his progress in these words: "Tho first month we gave about fifty baths, the se? cond 100, the third over 150, the fourth nearly 200-thus gaiuiug ground by slow degrees. The first year we gave over 2,000 baths, the second year about 4,000, the third nearly 6,000. About the mid? dle of the fourth year we increased our facilities, by constructing a much hu ger bath for gentlemen exclusively, and giv? ing tho first one constructed entirely to the use of the ladies. Duriug this year we gave over 10,000 baths; the fifth year over 15,000." Tho prico for a bath is about SI-de? pending upon the number of tickets bought at a time-and was until recently a good deal higher. Might nota small establishment of the kind succeed iu Columbia? Ono such, for the coming summer, would bc a blessing to our community. Nothing elso approaches tho Turkish bath in re? viving and restoring the exhausted ener? gies of ono who is fagged with the se? vere tax upon health so commou with us late in our interminable summers. CUTIS. PUBLIC MEETING AT CLAY HILL.-Wo publish this week the procoediugs of u public meeting held at Clay Hill, in this County, on Saturday last, participated in by both blacks and whites. Tho meet? ing was called without any formal notice, us is usual in such cases, but solely ut the solicitation of the eolored citizens of that part of tho County, who, in view of the disturbances that have recently oc? curred, having unsuccessfully appealed to tho white leaders of the Union League organization for counsel and advice in the premises, desired a general meeting of the citizens in which, as the proceed? ings show, all acts of violence were heartily condemned. This is well enough, so far as it goes; but mero pre? ambles and resolutions are impotent to restore order. The cause of the troubles must first be removed. As will be seen by a note appended to the proceedings, the opinion was ex? pressed that so long as the Union League organization was kept up, there was a probability that disorderly acts would ensue, when members of the League, who were present, pledged themselves to hold no more secret poli? tical meetings at night. By far the best policy for the members of tho League to pursue, wa think, would be to disband their society entirely. So long as they keep up a secret organization of the character of that of the League, it is probable that ju6t so long will a counter organization exist, and each will alike be productivo of harm. The conduct of the colored people in respect to their connection with this secret political or? ganization has bad much to do with pro? ducing tho present state of affairs; and wo are fully pnrsnaded that the best means they could adopt to get rid of the "Ku Klux" danger would bo to disband their own secret organization, and there? by remove the pretext for oueiu opposi? tion to it. - Yorke Me Enquirer. POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH TUL: TEN? NESSEE.-The following item of informa? tion, takeu from the Charleston Courier, cf yesterday, while it is not calculated to strengthen the hope of tho Tennessee's safety, may throw some light upon her probable fate: "It will bo remembered that on the 22d of January, the brig E. F. Dunbar, of Searsport, Maine, bound from Georgetown, in this State, for Cardenas, in latitude thirty-one degrees fifty-eight minutes, longitude seventy-six degrees eight minutes, reports having been run into by an unknown bark-rigged steamet the same day. It was at first supposed that this steamer was the Cuba, but the Cuba is a brig-rigged steamer, aud the placo of her collision with the brig with which she came in contact, was from sixty to ninety miles West, or closer in than where tho Dunbar reports her col? lision. The Tennessee was a bark rigged steamer, and it may bo, therefore, that she was the steamer which carno in collision with the Dunbar. This is, ot course, ouly our conjecture. But il seems plausible under all the circum? stances. " A difficulty occurred at Odom's Cross , ing, ou tho South-western (Ga.) Rail . road, on the night of tho 11th, betweei I Messrs. Daniel Dozier and B. B. Odom iu which tho latter was killed by a bullo t from a pistol fired by the former, i The ease with?which titles aro obtuiuet - in Europe is shown by the fact tba Stultz, tho fashionable London tailor I wan unido a baron by the Grand Duke o > Baden, for endowing a hospital ot Carls i ruhe.

THE ANDERSON MILITIA.-The recent action of the Anderson militia company, proposing to box and deposit their arms, is an example which all tho other com? panies in the State might follow, with advantage to all parties. That the arm? ing of tho colored population is the great source of the present troubles and the mischief constantly transpiring in tho State, there eau be no doubt; and we firmly believe if the colored militia would voluntarily deliver their guns to the proper custodian, or if tho au? thorities would disarm tho militia, much would thereby be accomplished to re? store order and good feeling between tho races. - York rille Enquirer. Tn? RADICALS WITHOUT A LEADER.-A correspondent of the Brooklyn Union understood to be a-distinguished literary gentleman from the West, now on % Visit ! to the Cnpitnl-has elicited from "a very sagacious member of the House of Rep? resentatives" tho following opinions: | 1. We have had no - leader since old I Thud. Stevens die?!. 2. Butler is a noisy man, unsent pu- i Ions, cuuniug, infinite iu resources, of unabashed front, and as fond of noto? riety as a toper is of his cups. No one eau deny that lie has brains-just as good bruius as eau be had without a eon scieuce; but he does not lead us. 3. Mr. Dawes is a strong man in the House-strong by his long membership and the prestige of groat experience, und by his industry, and by the credit he enjoys of being an houest man. He is not a great mau; no ono ever accused him of that; but his opinion on many subjects is really of great weight with us. And yet Iiis opinion would be more valuable if ho was more economical with it. He bestows it too lavishly. In short, be talks too much. 4. Bunks has the carriage, the dashing presence of uu uncommon man. He often looks as if he knew moro than he would willingly tell. Iudeed, I nm sometimes reminded of what Fox said to Lord Thurlow: JSo man ever was so wise as Thurlow looks. Banks bas a magnifi? cent voice, aud on the whole, he is the most brilliant orator on the floor. But oratory-who cares for oratory auy more? Legislation is committee work, and the tino orator is now but a carpet knight. Banks is a m in whose glory is in the past. 0 Garfield lus on his side youth, splendid health, learniug, high spirits, great power of application and good habits. Garfield may feel happy whether he looks either way-iuto the past or into the future. These opinions certainly have the benefit of great positiveness aud frank? ness iu their expression. - - Tin-: FnENcn ELECTIONS.-The Cour? rier d>:? Etats Unis, tho leadiug French journal of America, of February 13, ex? presses the following sentiment in re? spect to tho recent elections in France: Tho news which comes from Frauce, says this paper, is extremely vague as to what transpired ou election day. Along with certain names, essentially Republi? can, the despatches give us tho names of others, which are spoken of as repre? senting the conserv?t i re element, which is spoken of asjbeiug the strongest. This is the moderate party, otherwise called tho liberal uuiou. These terms are somewhat confused and require explana? tion. In tho actual situation, and essentially transitory aa it is, we seo nothing that is to be preserved except the Republican principle, and we hope that will triumph. But if that old conservative party, which runs buck into the old routine, to ancient formulas, both as to policy and admini? stration-if that is to lead the way, there will be a reaction, and the past will have co3t us dear enough, seeing that its lessons and experience must all be left behind. There are two extremes that Franco should avoid at any price; ono is that of Utopians who would destroy every? thing; tho other is that of the headlong, who would restore everything. Between the two there is a middle route, into which, we believe, two intermediary parties will bo found ranged, one of which is the Orleanist, the other the Re? publican. The editor then says: As we have said a hu ml red times, the republic has un? dergone hard trials, and, notwithstand? ing its defeat, it has covered itself with honor. Frauce will create- for herself new dangers in refusing to sustain the republic. The Orleanists represent, it is true, a certain current of opinions which are progressive, and sj'mpathize with public sentiment; but this current is nothing moro than transitory. This must be? come stronger and better, because, if it should not, the friends of that party will bo alternated. To this public sympathy it (the Orleans party) owes what strength it has. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.-For certain rea? sons uot necessary now to state, we post? poned giving publicity to a daring mid extensive robbery of watches and other jewelry, committed on Tuesday of last week, from the store of our townsman, Mr. lt. W. Tiusley, by one John Griffin, who had been employed for some time as a jeweler in tho i;tore. Mr. Tinsley had the eveniug previous gone out on a bird hunt, and left Gri?iu, as he had often done before, in charge of the busi? ness. It appears soon after Mr. T. left, Griifiu commenced packing into his trunk nil tho watches and other valua? bles, including some jeweler's tools. Ho must have worked nearly all night, and in tho morning took the cars for Columbia. Ho took about forty-five watches, many of them gold and a num? ber of new silver ones, which Mr. T. had lately received on commission. Mr. T. estimates his loss at not less than $2,700. Griffin is about twenty-five years old, dark, curly hair, pleasant countenance, about five feet eight or ten inches high, sparo mado and genteel manners. He was last seen in Columbia, on Thursday morning following the robbery. [ Union Times. A GENUINE BLACK.-A specimen of tho colored representation of the new Con? gress appeared on tho floor of the HOIIRO to-day in the person of Hon. R. B. El? liott, of South Carolina, o genuine Afri cuu. Ho was for some time in tho seat of his predecessor, Judge H?ge, and at? tracted very general attention. The other colored members of the House are three-fourths white, but Elliott is a pure black. Tho Republican members did not seem inclined to give bim a very warm welcome, certainly not so cordial a one as was extended to Messrs. Rainey and Long. I [Wash. Correspondence Baltimore Sun, TZ? ooal lt? irr* tat .

A hue and cry haviug been raised by some of the Republican members of the Legislature, yesterday, the election of Montgomery Moses, Esq., as Judge of tue Seventh Circuit, waa decided null aud void.

There is no butter remedy for cold feet thou to slap the leg briskly just above tho knee after raising the foot. Tho increased circulation induces imme? diate relief. It is painful to see kgw many men wind up the week by reeliug home at midnight on Saturday. A Portland man has sued his barber for cutting off his moustache. The bar? ber says he didn't see it. Similar casu? alties are liable to occur in this locality. Sleep being a condition common at in? tervals to all animated nature, it will be interesting to everybody to hear that a writer in an English scientific periodical maintaiDs that sleep is produced by "a molecular change in the nervous struc? ture itself of tho cerebro spinal system."
