COLUMBIA, S. 0,1 Tneirtay Morning, AugUBt 29,1871. The New York Herald anticipates a very serious disturbance of old party or? ganizations, and perhaps of our existing social conditions, by tbe labor reform movement. It perceives in it tho ele? ments of a great revolution, arraying labor against capital; refers to its influ? ence in tho late New Hampshire election, and to its probable fuller exhibition of strength in the approaching Massachu? setts election, and concludos: "In any event, after November, 1872, wo shall have tho beginning of a now political agitation in this country, which will hardly stop short- of the greatest and most radical and sweeping revolution in the history of the world, and wo shall be fortunato if wo escapo another genera) oivil war in possing through tim ap? proaching revolution. Snob aro tho signs of the timos, and wo live in an age of revolutions." SPAIN AND KING OK AFC.-Don Garlos has made his appearance in Spain onco more, and it is probable that Amndeus will have to fight for his throne. The business of "kingcraft" is a perilous one, and whon tho profit and loss ac? count is summed up, it is generally found that the balance is largely on the loss side. The capital of one's life is in perpetual danger, and there is an every? day probability of being thrust out of tho business into the streets of tho great world by some moro fortunato specula? tor. Europe is filled with "retired" sovereigns, who havo quit roigning, not ?Sf fl?oir own volition, but by tho forco of circumstances-too strong for them to ro aist. Borne of them have settled down quietly, and aro living merely as privato individual ii, al moot unnoticed in the busy whirl of the great human mael? strom. Isabella, who made snoh a signal failure in the business, is living content? edly on her "private fortune," forgetting her reverses of the past as a sovereign, in tho luxurious life of a wealthy patri? cian. Amadeus may one day have to follow suit, and leave Soain either to tho enjoyment of Republicanism or tho mis? rule of the Carlists. ? ? "There is a certainty, unclouded by any doubt, that the States so long deso? lated by war, and with the whole system of labor revolutionized, and without capital, havo achieved tho hardest part of their work, and are on the ascending scale-a scale that may be followed almost inimitably to tho good of those directly oouoerued and of all affected by their welfare." This is apparent to all who have watched the progress of tho South sinco tho war. After passing through an ordeal whioh destroyed thousands of her homos, lost to her many of her best citi? zens, and left her almost bankrupt, she wont bravely to work, and to day stunds an example of what industry aud perse? verance can do. Through all tho diffi? culties and oppression of tho "recon? struction measures," she safely steered her way, and gradually built up manu? factories and improved her system of agriculture, until she once moro is rising into her old position of prosperity. COMPARATIVE GKOWTU OP POPULATION. The total population of tho United States, according to the last revision of tho ta? bles iu the census offioe, is 38,5-10,087. The recent census of Qrcat Britain gives the population of tho United Kingdom at 31,465,180, leaving a superiority of 7,081,507 here. Tho incrcuso in Eng? land in tho last decade wa3 2,037,881, and in Scotland 200,310-ten per cont., while Ireland loses 306,208, leaving a not gain of about niue per oent. The Irish emigration in tho lust ten years is re? ported ut 810,003. Aside from this loss of population thero, not made good by immigration from England, it seems that the increase in tho latter country and in Scotland has chiefly been of tho dangerous classes, and that tho exaoss of females has maintained more than its former level. The population, too, tend moro and moro to tho cities, leaving an insufficient supply in thu rural districts. In this country the increase has boen 7,106,676, in Groat Britain 2.538,095, in the decade, a gain of 1,568,581 in tho growth of this country over that of the other. And this ocoars, too, notwith? standing Groat Britain has enjoyed al? most uninterrupted peace, and hus been enabled to enrich herself by tho raro op? portunities furnished by our civil war and tho war of France and Germnny. She has had every exceptional aid for increment, whilo in all of our history thero was never a term that so checked immigration, that caused so many deiithn, and induced so many to seek other homes. How IT is DONE.-Tho tolegraph has stated a largo uumbar of suits for da? mages huvo been commenced against thc ferry company on behalf of suliorers by fcho Westliold (ferryboat) disaster at Now York. A reporter visiting somu of thc onrviviug patients ut Bullovuu Hospital loams that mousing attorneys hud beon to thom aud procured them to sign cm tracts empowering the attorneys to pro? secute suit?, with tho ngreetnout that they should receive half of any judgments that might bo recovered. A meotiug and re-organization of the Howard Assooiuliou is called for in Charleston. THE COTTON CHOP.-The period for gathoriug tho cotton orop having ar? rived, tho speculators of New York and Liverpool havo, ns usual, Bot to work to bear tho market, and, if possible, get the products of our planters for nothing. The reports of bad seasons, Bhorfc aore agre, and disasters of various sorts aro set down as all gammon, and it is boldly announced that the crop is nearly or quite as largo as that of last year-ut least equal to tho pioking capacity of the idle- race who produce it. It is useless to combat their ussertions, for they are made for a purpose, and will bo adhered to, right or wrong. AU careful readers and disinterested observers in the ?South know thia estimate to be a false oue. They know that if thero is sach a thing as truth in men, the crop is obliged to be nour or quite a million bales short of that of last year. On tho first page of this paper will be found copious extracts from the papers of nearly every cottin growing State, and if thoy be but half true, wo think the reasonableness of our estimate is sustained, despite tho calcu? lations of New York and Liverpool. Thus is the issue mado up, and now the struggle oommonoes between tho plant? ers and the buyers, with the tnanufao turers at the baoks of the latter. Last year it was a very unequal contest. Trado was stagnant, war was raging in Europe, and tho planter WAS in debt and obliged to sell. Now, the tubles are turned. Peace reigns everywhere among tho commercial nations, trade prospects are cheering, tho planter owes but little, and he has produced his own food for another year. He is, thereforo, in a condition to mako n bold stand and Bay to tho cotton buyer: You must come to reasonable terms, suoh us will pay mo a profit on my labor, otherwise yon can? not get my cotton, for l am not obliged to sell. I havo lived close and worked bard the present year; I and my factor and dry goods and grooery merchants are nearly even, or can easily bo made so, and if I need money, it will bo cheap? er, to borrow it on my cotton than sell the.latter to you for less than it cost me to produce it. Snob is his situation, and ho will not fail to take advantage of it. On tho other band, the manufacturers will continue to fight against this state of things for a time, nuder enoourage ment received from the 4,000,000 bales men on this side. Bat the supply at this'time is not greatly in excess of that of last year npon a short crop, and the falling off in the East must, of necessity be very considerable. The demands of trade will soon bo pressing upon them and, as money in Europe is abaudan and easy, they will eventually be forced to pay a remunerative price for thei raw material, os they ought to, and will and that too at an early day if the gam biers should only get out of the way which they will eventually be forced to do. Upon the whole, we aro inclined to the opinion that the Southern planter holds tho high trumps in the game th present year, and will only have to play them judiciously to proteot himself against loss.-Savannah Republican. DESTRUCTIVE FME.-Between half-past 10 and ll o'clock Saturday night a fire broke out on the West side of Moetin afreet, three doors below Hasel, which resulted in the total destruction of the two fine buildings owned by Messrs Jennings, Thomlinson & Co., and then occupied by Mr. J, C. Mads3U as a to bacco storo, and by Mr. Lengnick as fauoy goods and notion establish in eu The fire originated in the back part o Madsen's store, and owing to the inilam mable nature of the stock, was well un der way when the engines arrived. Th flames then communicated to tho adjoin ing store of Mr. Lenguick, anti, bein fed by light and inflammable articles composing the stock, both buildings were soon enveloped in a tremendous bluzo. The engines, although they hu been at work all day on tho streets pumping out, wore worked with vigor and alacrity, and by their efforts the fire was confined to the two buildings al ready named. These, with the stock contained in them, wore totuliy d strayed. The wholesale shoe store iNf'jssrs. E. B. Stoddard & Co., adjoining Maiison'.s cigar storo on the North, was also considerably damaged by the heat It was broken into, to afford a stand from which the streams from tho engines could bo brought to play upou the tiro and the water thrown into it to preveut its taking fire did much damage to the Btock.-Charleston News. James Hogan, an engineer on tho Erie Railway, was instantly killed, a few nights ago, at Hohokus, on tho Easter Division, under singular circumstances Several coal trains were following oac other on the way East, and at tho above station tho train ahead of Hogan stopped tor some causo, and either sent no flag back to signal approaching trains, their flag was not seen by the engineor Consequently, as ho came in sight of th stationary train aupad of him, and as h train was running at considerable speed ho thought a collision was iuovitnbl Ho at once reversed his locomotive, b not having tho nerve to await tho resu jumped wildly from his cab. Ho struck against a lodge of rook. His lirom remained on the locomotivo, which stopped boforo reaohing tho train ahead On going buck to tho spot whero tho en giueer had jumped oft', the fircmau found him lying by tho track, with 1 neck broken.

Tue CONFEDERATE AUMY or NORTH RI VIRGINIA.-General Fitzbugb Leo au [ither late ofliccrs of tho Confed?rate i'rra'y, havo issued a cnll for tho organi? zation of tho army of Northern Virginia, for tho purpose of preparing its history in tho hilo war, and taking steps to have i tn o ti uni cut erected to tho mt? ni o ry of dio lato General ll. E. Leo. Ladies at tho^Whito Mountains sleep miler coverlids of newspapers, tis lhere ire not blankets enough to go around. TH ?i RADICAL, OFFICIA DH.-The alarm of si ok ness lias shown tho character of most of the Radical officials in all their native deformity. The Mayor ..sticks" for the present, but with that exception nearly the whole covey have winged their flight Northward. Gen. Gurney, the County Treasurer, is away, and tho duties of his responsible office are dis? charged by inexperienced subordinates. Sheriff Mackey has not shown his head for some weck?, but be is reported to bo sick in New York. Coroner Taft slipped off Borne timo ago, and makes no sign of returuiug. But worst of all is the case of Captain Jouks, the City Inspector. This official hus charge of tho streets. It is his duty to keep the city clean and wholesome. By neglecting this work, while "griutfiug axes" for Mayor Pills? bury, he allowed Charleston to become indescribably filthy. Upon bis shoul? ders rests Ike rnuiu responsibility for that wanton disregard of the plainest sauitary rules which brought tho fever upon us. Immediately utter the election ho went to the North, where ho stays. As for the city, bo leaves her, like a cast? off mistress, to perish from the disenso willoh bo has ?iven ber. These Radical officials aro fioe-weulhor birds. They will draw their pay while the sun shines, but they flee like the wi ad at the first note of danger. What do tho colored voters, who (in fact) elected these meu to o ilice, tin uk of their conduct now? For disease is no respecter of persons. The blacks ns well as the whites must suffer from tho criminal carelessness of the Radien] office-holders. Shall not this be remembered nt the next eleotiou day ?- Charleston Neics. ?-? ? ? TUB POTATO BLIGHT IN IRELAND.-It is reported that tho potato blight has de? veloped tonu alarming extent in Ireland, and fears aro expressed that the crop may be entirely ruined. If this should happeu, it is not unlikely that another fumiuc may devastate Ireland aud add to the mitoy miseries of her unfortu? nate people. British rule has ruined the oom meroe, the manufactures, and the agriculture of Ireland, and if a famine occurs, bad government will bo almost if not entirely to blame for it. Such a calamity will- certainly intensify the an? tagonism of the Irish to their English tyrants, and will secure for them nu amount of sympathy throughout;.?tho world that their^nbortivo attempts at in? surrection will never gain for them. . If a famine does occur, and, as is not un? likely, the cholera makes its appearance at the same time, a repetition of the terrible ?cenen now being enacted in Persia may be expeoted by Englishmen at their very doors, aud they may antici? pate the indignation of the world for their share in bringing about such a ca? lamity. THE LOUISIANA SUGAR CROP.-From all parts of tho State we have very en? couraging accounts of tho growing sugar crop of Louisiana. The cane is iu splendid condition and still improving. The crop, ou tho whole, is in a better condition than the most sanguino antici? pated early in tho season, aud should tho latter portion of tho year be favorablo for cutting and grinding, our State will turn outs crop something like those of antebellum times. Wo do not think that 225,000 is a high estimate of the crop at this time, though of course the contin? gencies ol the fall must euler thc calcu? lation so far 03 tho merchant is con corned. If tho season continues as favorable throughout as it has been thus far, this great staple will be ro-instatod iu its former position within a very few years. We havo the capacity to produce 1,000,000, and these figures will sooner or later be reached. [New Orleans Picayune. On Thursday, a fortnight ago, Abram Alston and Henry Fenick left Smithville, a plantation on Santce, for tho purpose of taking a bunt-each taking his gun with him. After being gone some time, Alston returned without his companion. On being interrogated as to what bad become of Fenick, ho stated that they bad parted just as they had got out uf the plantation, one taking one direction und the other a different one. A week woro on and, no tidings having buen bad of Fenick, his friends suspected that ho bad been foully dealt with, aud bud Alston arrested. Upon being arrested, Alston denied all knowledge of what hud become of the missing man, but on lust Sunday, while in jail, ho coufessed to Trial Justice W. II. Jones, Jr., that ho had killed Fenick, but it was by acci? dent, and that in his alarm he had dug a hole and buried him. [ Georgeta ten Tim es. A shocking narrative of devastation, suffering and misery comes from South? ern Hungary. By neglect and bad ma? nagement, dikes havo broken down and an immonso tract of arable country in? undated. Crops spared by tho flood have been destroyed by hail storms of such severity as to ruin vineyards and orchards. To add to tho misfortunes of Ibo nillicted people, tho authorities are seizing tho cattle for arrears of laxes. Agriculture is rninod, industry paralyzed and trade vanished; a fumino now threat? ens tho unfortunate district. It is diffi? cult to bolievo that tho powers at Pesth and Vienna aro cognizant of tho inhu? man conduct of their tax gatherers, and that tildy will not milito all haste to alle? viate tho sufferings of their sorely strick? en subjects.
