COLUMBIAN S.C. SahirJaj, Morfiln|C> Peoembor 81,1672. December 30, I860. Yesterday was the anniversary of the passage of the ordinance of secession1 by the convention of the people of ?oath Carolina. It took place in Institato Hall, Charleston, 20th Deoember, 1860. In the light of subsequent events, it may be conceded to have been an impolitic and precipitate act. But it \ 18 done by men who honestly Bought ?? perserve the Constitutional rights ?f che States, and who knew and accepted their re? sponsibility to mankind and history for their action. The disasters and deaola iions of war, only surpassed by the abases and infamies of peace Which en* sued,'were not its natural, logical or just ~*oonseqnenooa. They sprung rather from the perversion of the Government from its true doctrines and its deflection from the trae path of constitutional liberty. We are called upon to-day to note, not ?o muoh the failure of the remedy which was tried for the evils which were re? garded aa ao threatening at thai time to the rights of the States, but the conti? nued predominance and inoreaaing mag? nitude of those evils themselves, and the hopelessness, apparently, of any cure for them. A little cloud no bigger than a man's hand in I860, they to-day over? spread the whole political sky like a pall. All feel now that the storm is gathering in volume, and coming on with porten? tous speed. We drop a tear, to-day, over the graves of those defenders of our soil and of the germ prinoiple of the Government itself in its days of purity,-who were -worthy of all Grecian, all Kornau fume. A cause, a prinoiple, a theory, a truth, call it what you wiU> which attracts to its support the devotion of B. E. Lae and Stonewall Jackson, of Virginia, Pettigrew and Tew, of North Carolina, Oobb and Bartow, of Georgia, Pelham, of Alabama, Gregg and Jenkins, of South Carolina, is no mean cause, no mistaken principle, no false theory, no doubtful truth. It may be said that they were born out of their time, that their grandeur of soul was above the cause they espoused; .that they died needlessly and prematurely. ' tSo they think or. fool who look only at the surface, and who cannot rise above pre? sent blinding events and ciremstanoes, or take merely partisan views. Bat not so will history write; not'in such way does Providence direot affairs. These groat souls have not lived nor died in vain, and the truth for which they toiled and sacrificed will be as immortal as their fame. It can only die with time itself. A i.fnon from the Census. We find some Agares in a contempo? rary, takeu from the census of 1870, in whioh the six New England States are compared with the six South Atlantic States, counting Virginia aud West Vir? ginia as one, as regards the white popu? lation, churoheB and sittings in each. They are instructive and we copy one as follows: Maine?white populutiou, 621,809; ehurohes, 1,104; sittings, 376,733. Ver? mont? 329,613, 744, 270,614. New Hampshire?317,697. 624, 210,090. Mas saohusetts?1,443,156, 1,764, 882,317. Bbode Island?212,219, 283, 125,183. Connecticut?527,649, 902. 338,785. Total?3,455,043, 5,421, 2,203,677. Delaware?white population, 102,221; churches, 252; sittings, 87,699. Mary? land?605,497, 1,389, 499,770. Virgiuia ?712.089, 2,405, 765,127. West Vir? ginia?424,033, 1,018, 297.315. North Carolina? 678,470, 2,497, 718,310. South Carolina?289,667, 1,308, 491,425. Georgia?638,926, 2,698, 801,148. Total ?3,450,903, 11,567, 3,660,984. The six Southern States here appear to have more than double as many churches, and two-thirds as many more obnroh sittings as the six New England States, with about the same population, The whole increase of ohurobes in thesp Southern States in 1870 over 1860 is 1,296, and if we leave these out, as possibly some of them may have been bnilt by Northern contributions, the 3,450,903 white people of the six South Ailantio States have still 10,271 churches \o 5,421 to the 3,455,043 white people of tho six Now England Stales, or still nearly double. This is onough to asto? nish the ? natives of those granite hills. There is a similar disproportion be? tween tho number of pauperh and crimi? nals in the two compared sections. With a half million moro nativo whites, the Soath Atlantic States have 6,000 fowor paupers, 900 fewer criminals among them than the New England States. The same degrco of morality and fore? sight in the nativo whites of Now Eng? land, as exist in tho Soath Atlantic States, would give but 6,001 paupers, in? stead of 12,972, and but 997 criminals, instead of 2,097. Theso are hard faots^ which our com? placent Now England brothren must digest as best they can. Thoy aro good at figuron, and know that, however they startle, they do not lie. After all, it seems that the model people of New England are no better, so fat as churches are exponents of civilization, than tho 8 )ut hern era whom they so4lovo to be? rate, nor even so good. If they stndy these statistics carefully, perhaps we shall hear less of Southern barbarism. ' We are curious to see what the census will say as to the comparative increase in population-and the number of oriminale, paupers and insane among the black and colored facea'in tho South now, as com? pared with the Agares when "they were held in bondage; We know that the in? crease was large then, and the number of criminals and insane small; and Mr. Oalhoun, while Secretary of State, in 1844 or 1845, summing them up in a de? spatch to Hon. W. K. Xing, American Minister at Paris, mnde a profound but transient impression on the minds of European statesmen, in arguing, on these grounds, for the boneficence of the institution of slavery. Unjustifiable Coarse of the ArtintnUtra tloa Toward LouUlana. In our telegraphic columns, yesterday, an interview is described between Presi? dent Grant and the Louisiana Oitizons Committee, and a colloquy between him and Judge Campbell reported. We are surprised to see that Gan. Grant says that "he did not propose to interfere with local affairs in that State, by putting one set of officers or any other iu power, although numerous telegrams, letters and papers say he had done so." TheUuited States Marshal had been "instructed simply to see that the decree of the Fe? deral Court was sustained." This seems painfully evasive. On tho 12th iost., Georgo H. Williams, Attorney-General of the United States, telegraphed to Pinchback, acting Governor, that "the President recognized him (Pinchback) as tho lawful executive of Louisiana, and the body assembled at Mechanics' Insti? tute as the lawful Legislature." Pinch .back made proclamation to that effect. And yet the President -'says now he does not propose to intorfere. This same faoilo tool, Attorney-General Williams, on the 13Lb, telegraphed to Hon. John McEoery that his proposed visit with one hundrod citizens would bo unavailing, and that' tho President's decision waB 'made, and would not be ohanged. The truth is that tho universal and decided condemnation of the hasto, par? tiality, .bod temper ?ud indefensible oourse of tho Administration has brought it to its senses. But atill it prevaricates. Instead of acting with o: ndor and im? partiality, it desires to hold its position. But .In the hands of such a map as Camp? bell the President is the veriest pigmy, and whatever ho does, or refuses to do, the country will now necessarily get at the truth of things. How narrow, con? temptible and bigoted has been the ac? tion of tho Administration! Williams is a man of the pattern of Akermau?sha'. low, evasive and insolent. While ho in? dulges io this potty tyranny, the com? merce of New Orleans languishes, trade is greatly injured, and tho people dis? mayed. We can judge' what is the con? dition, and what the apprehension of the people, by the following pathetic de? spatch : "Prayers were offered in the churches of-all denominations for tho down-trod? den people of Louisiana. Bishop Wil mar, of Louisiana, will issue o letter to? morrow, announcing that the ohurch of his dioceso will be open during the whole of next week to offer prayors for the people of unfortunate Louisiana." The Next Congress.?Tho roster of the next Houso of Representatives, as prepared by tbo Clerk, gives a present total of oighty-nino Democrats. The full membership of tho Houso will bo 292, and the Democrats must havo uiue moro votes to overcora^the two-thirds majority of tho Republicans. The mem? bership of Plorida, Louisiana nnd West Virginia has not yet boon dooided, and elections are to be held in Connecticut and Now Hampshire. Tho indications aro that tho Democrats will have one third of the mombers. Evon if they do not, the parties will be so nearly equal that, with tho few Republicans who split from their organization, they will bo ablo to prevent a two-thirds vote. -?????-? A HonniBLE STonY.?A dreadful acci? dent occurred in Providonco, R. I., Sa? turday. Two men, named Smith and Drew, were omployod in Johnston as wood-ohoppoT'i. Last Saturday was a cool, blowy day, and tho men, while at work, kept up a hot firo under a largo overhanging rook. Aflor work, as it is supposed, thoy went to the fire to warm themselves and havo a smoke before going homo. Whilo thoy were seated thero, tho rock cracked and fell over on them, and thoy wero found nndor it Monday. Smith was evidently killed on the instant, but Drow had struggled to free himself. He had reached his axe and ohoppod his own foot off, but his body was still hold fast, and after vain efforts tp get away, ho had ended his struggles bv cutting his own throat with an axe. Tho rock was probably as hot as it was heavy, and the suffering of tho poor man must havo been beyond de? scription. We publish the following at the earnest request of Sob?ol Commissioner N. E. Edwards, .whoso term expires in a few flays: | *9?il > To the Grnuuns of Biontuiro Cocntx and AU4/WIIOU li MAY cohckbm; AoOOrd ing to tho reports made to me by the majority of the trustees of the several school districts have agreed to levy one mill for special tax for educational pnr-' poses, as several of the boards nave failed to act, I, as Sohool Commissioner, under the law. which makes it my dnty where they have failed to act, I h ore by request the Auditor to- make an bbsobj ment aooordingly for ; Biohland County.

I now state the names of some of the profioient school trustees offering their- resignations. The whole beard of tho Firat School Distriot have offered their resignations, namely: Bev. Dr. "BeynoldB, C. J. Car? roll, C. D. Lowndes, and also the Chair? men of the Sixth and Seventh Districts, namely: Mr. Wicks and H. W. Dixon.

Dornas, who died Octo? ber 27, 1872; .a man whose heart was.in the work of public education, not in words but in deeds. He, with his bro? ther, have given over 8150 for educa? tional purposes to his school dibtrict. I hope that many may follow this good man's example in Biohland County, not in words but in act, and thereby sustain the newly eleoted Commissioner. . My term has been a pleasant one with all the officers with whom I have been connect? ed, both County nnd State, viz: The County Treasurer, to whom several orders issued from my office wore prompt? ly complied with; aud tho Stato Superin? tendent, Mr. J. K. Jillsou?this great and good, good man, who was always ready and willing to give the best advice toward the cause of education. For the public good I hope he will be retained in his office until ho has perfected his plan for oarrying out the purposes of the free common schools; when tho publio will suy "well done, good and faithful ser? vant;" when every child in tho State of South Carolina shall have every advan? tage of education under Providence; when the Stute shall boast of greater ad? vantages than even Massachusetts can boast of; when from her soil, on hill and vule, the curse of ignorance, that has so long prevailed, 6bull be removed. My term closes tho 1st of January. All persons holding claim;; against Bich? land County, not audited, will pleaso for? ward them to J. C. Carroll, Esq., bo t'.vecu this and the 30th of this month. N. E. EDWAllDS, School Commissioner Bichland Co. Tue CnEDiT of Mi.ssissirri is Danger William Dunham, of No. 52 Bleecker street, was arrested yesterday on a charge of having feloniously altered a warrant npon tho Stato of Mississippi from ?6 to $500, and attempting to ne? gotiate with Levy & Borg, brokers, of No. 20 Broad strJet. Tho latter tele? graphed to tho Governor of Mississippi, who informed them a warrant had been fraudulently alterod from SO to the amount above stated. Dunham admit? ted having in bis possession $80,000 of similar warrants, 810,000 of which were captured in his possession. He con? fessed that several Government officials in this city and Now Orleans wero en? gaged in the conspiracy to circulato the altered warrants. The ring-leader was Dr. Swan, n noted forgor, who mado the alterations by which the warrants were increased from aniall sums to $500 and 31,000. He was captured at New Iberia, Louisiana, yesterday, acoording to a do spatoh sent Colonel Whitley. Mary McBride, tho woman to whom Dunham gave $10,000 of the warrants to sell South, was also taken near Now Orleans, with the warrants in her possession. A list in Dunham's handwriting was fonnd on her, in which it was shown that war? rants had been raised to represent 8119, 000, instead of $80,000, as he had as? serted. Nearly half of tho number were forwarded to Texas for negotiation by two officers in one of tho Government departments in this city. It is Baid tbat tho proof againat them is not strong enough yet to jnstify their arrest. fNew York News, \otk. Mr. Johu S.
