Trooku, in his farewell address, delivered in the French Assambly, taking leave of public life}-Warns Prance against piaoing confidence in the legends that are told at Paris and in other large de? mocratic oentres of the repablio, with a view tO exalting mob prowess-at tho expense of high anilitary discipline and effective service in the soldiers of the late empire. One of-these legends extols tho defonoe.of Paris as the greatest of modern military exploits: At this liege, it is ihown by the statistics of the Ger? man army that the German "loss was 11,600 men, while at Woerlhv their loss was over 10,000; showing that McMahon, with 40,000 French regulars, killed and wounded, within' a few hoars, nearly as many of the enemy as the 500,000 de? fenders of Paris did in lour and a half months. Bat no amount of Agares, however re? liable, Or of warnings from whatever source, will disturb the oomplaoenoy with whioh the Fronoh democrats be? lieve in the superior valor, discipline and skill of the republican rank and file, and the' epahletted incapable* who led them at Naits and elsewhere, nor in tho tre? mendous slaughter of republican inflic? tion, par excellence, that overtook the German army in its tracks. The easy way is to Buffer the patriotic credulity of democratic France, and leave the* em* pire, fn tbVleisure of ret Ire men t, to sing its own prone. V .1 ? The 1 Cohn hct ig or 1 Flection.?Oar readers will see by the despatches con? tained in oar telegraphic columns that the Democratic party made heavy gains in the'election held in Conneotfout on Monday. Last year, Governor Jewell, the present Radical incumbent, was elected by a majority of twenty-eight Totes over all competitors. The Legis? lature stood, in the Senate, fifteen Radi? cals to six Demoorate, and in the House 124 Radicals to 111 Democrats. At the last Congressional election, three of the four Representatives elected were Budi oals. If the results indioated by oar despatches truly represent the feeling of the people at the North, there would seem to be little need fon either a new party or a new name. We congratulate oar brethren in Connecticut on their glorious viotory. Bin. Editor: The papers of tho city, in doing me a kindness, for whioh I am grateful,, are probably doing uninten? tional injustice to Mr. Tolleson, of the Palmetto House, at Spartanburg. I have not taken that house, bat I have rented the house formerly known as tho Walker Hoase, at Spartanburg. It is undergoing thorough repairs, and my design is to furnish it in handsome style, and open it, about the first of May, us a first class hotel, for that locality, when I hope to enjoy the pleasure of rendering comfortable all Who may call on me. Yonrs, truly, D. B. CLAYTON. Senator Hollinshead, of Abbeville, met with a severe and painfal accident on last Saturday. His oondition is quite serious, but not regarded as dangerous. He strnok his head against a projecting beam. ? The Air-Line Road has received a num? ber of first olass freight cars and are rapidly preparing to meet tho growing demands upon it for transportation.

C , which we p?blieh this morning, will be recognized by bar Democratic readers throughout the State as those of one who has been till within a few years paat one of their most re epeoted journalists, and whose labors hare made a part of the history of the State.'' Sin:' Your profession, with all its la? borious drudgery, has, nevertheless, at? tractions and fascinations, which often tempt the man- who has retired from it .into occasional voluntary irregular ex oaraiona into his abandoned field of ser? vice. Hence this communication. In joining tho throng migrating Southward to ?horten thn' severity of a Northern winter?as I hato extreme boat as heartily as ?x^omeT^oU?iriste-ad of floating faith tho ourrentwto"Florida, X have drifted aside to the bills Of Booth Carolina, and 'stranded in this oily; YoUr^eodere who ha^ nayerv been/ here, and. yethop^o HVe to escape 'tho rigors of some f utmo Northern Maroh, may be willing to. know Why I stn interested and pleased with my somewhat otoideujal visit to the capital P!&mh?^ a bali wiHch pleasantly overlooks ? wide extant of country, n It lies be twee h th e tho i formen ? eiTording a ?plend id < watotr power, at the Rapids- li*rO, wbieb, how? ever "ia; no* much utilized as , yet. ?prkg'ae, Af Rhode'-Island, soon of tar tho war, purohaaed a valoablo po wer on this river, andrer sinbe the eithrtft*7here dtetwt hum of epindtee, until they have become w*ary of waiting, and make audibJo.complaint that the. great Rhode Islander boa not fulfilled the promised under whioh he acquired his valuable' hydraulic rights, and they commend the "dog in the manger" story to his. atten? tive perusal' On tho other hand, I hear the* delay attributed both to legislation desired and to legislation feared.' Tueee ?the procuring of good legislation and the preventing of bad?are the difficult problems iu every State, but ompbutioal ly so of lato years in South Carolina. No doubt?with unlimited water power, surrounded by the best cotton region of the South, id an upland country and with a mild and healthy olimate?this is a tery favorable point for cotton manu? facturing, arid can hardly fail to be thus utilized at an early day. There is navigation up the river some sixty or seventy' miles above here for small boats, and before the war, small sized steamboats oame tip the Santee, (the name of the river below here,) within five miles of the city, and a canal around the rapids (whioh Sprague has pnrchased) made tho connection. But railroads have now pretty much super? seded river navigation. The Greenville and Columbia Railroad, with its several branches,' cavers ? the Country between this city and the Blue Ridge, and the Charlotte and Columbia Road gives di? rect communication through the North? ern part of the State and' into North Carolina, and the roads to Wilmington, Charleston and Augusta afford easy ac? cess to the sea-board and the South-west. Ths city has a population of some 12,000 or 13,000. It is laid oat in squares, and has no streets less than 100 (some of them. 150) feet wide. The dwellings are nearly all of wood, many of them specious and elegant, located on large lota, containing in numerous in? stances ' one or two and in some half a dozen sores of laud. The gardens and grounds are filled with shrubs and hedges,* especially of evergreen varieties, of exceptional beauty. The Hampton residence?whioh belonged to General Wade Hampton,-of revolutionary me? mory, (grand-father of the present Gen? eral of that name,) and has been owned by the family till recently sold to Oov. Moses for 310,000 (a ridiculously low price for such a property in any North? ern city) ? occupies a whole square, en? closed on .three sides by a high brick wall, and in the extent of the mansion and the luxuriance of the treos, hedges and shrubbery, is a princely establish? ment. Before tho war, Columbia must have been one of the most beautiful towns in the country. Even now, with the want in many cases of proper care and keeping of dwellings and grounds, resulting from destruction of .incomes, it perhaps maintains that distinction. You will recollect that a large portion of this city was burned when General Sherman's army *?as hore?they soy here that 1,600 buildings were destroyed. I reoolleot that Sherman disclaimed tho responsibility of tbe destruction, and prefer to believe that it was one of those calamities that follow in the train of an army instead of an authorized and wan? ton conflagration, turning, as it did, in the month of February, helpless women and children into thostreots and sending them lleeiDg into the surrounding forests for safety. We yet seo many vacancies on the business streets, and many beau? tiful grounds whore tho buildings have not been restored. But I am surprised that so muoh has been done iu so short a timo in the way of restoration. Many eubstantial brick business blocks have been ereoted and many handsome dwell? ings re-built. Several flue blocks are now going up on tho main business street. Indeed, this little city shows more signs of life and progress than any Southern town whioh I bavo visitod. It is by no .means dead, and its people are not discouraged. It has a goodly num? ber of enterprising men, who see tbe wisdom of looking forward instead of baokward, who are courageous enough to conquer oironmstanoes and make them solves master of the situation. I notice on the streets thrifty looking shops in almost every department of traffic A large ootton trade centres hero. Tbere are several good hotels, and a new and fine one?tha Wheeler IIoaae^~h?* re? cently been opened, liiere are two na? tional bank*, one of wbioh, the Carolina xAtlofial Bank, waa started in 1863 by Colonel la B.

We ha?0.sa?ersl companies of Federal soldiers encamped here; and the daily parades and fine music are pleasant in ci'l?njs. I bavo heard of j no Ka Kl?t alarms', und none ??ern to be apprehend? ed?yet I think the citizens of Columbia would regret to have the soldiers with? drawn; not because they Jear any dis? turbance of the peace, but because the men spend their money here, General McDowell, commandant of this depart? ment, was here the other day, and held a review of the troops. I doubt whether there is any more at? tractive town in the Sonth for Northern people who wish to escape a part or the wholo of our Northern winters. The temperature is a medium and agreeable one, tho climate salubrious and invigor? ating, tho city attractive, with good hotels and plenty of respectable board? ing houses at quite reasonable charges, I and there are. activity and interest enough to make a temporary residence here agreeable. Northern people who. behave themselves are kindly received.* Gentlemen bo inclined can - nod profita? ble investments in property here and thus interest themselves. I am inolined to bolieve that Columbia will become quite a winter resort for Northern peo? ple. The political situation hora and the material condition of the State as af : feoted by it naturally attract the atten | tion of the visitor. I have purposely I avoided these topics, and dismiss them by saying that while the present has ob? vious and" great ev?a and abuses. Iam not altogether. distrustful?indeed I am hopeful?of the future. Yours, Ac, 0.0. Columbia, S. 0., March 28, 1873. The South Carolina. 1{au.boad ? Mektino OV the STOoxiioiiOEua.?Thera was a large attendance at the meeting of the stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Company, which was held at the Bsnk of Charleston, Tuesday morn? ing, at 11 o'clock. The Hon. Gabriel Cannon, of Spartanburg, was called to the chair, and the annual reports of the President and Vice-President were read and referred. President Magrath read a letter from General James Conner, the counsel of the road, explaining the effect of the re? cent decision in the Supreme Court of the United States in roferenoe to the liability of the road for taxation. The ldttsr states that by the decree in ques? tion: 1. All tho property of the company at Colombia and the road from Branohville to Columbia, and from Kingsville to Co? lumbia, are forever exempt from tax? ation. 2. All the road from Branohville to Hamborg is liable to taxation. 3. With rogard to the road from Charles? ton to Branohville, and the property at Charleston, the decision of the Circuit Court bas been modified, and the case has been remanded to tho Circuit Court, to take proceedings to ascertain and de torroino what portion of the property of the oompauy is npportionable and sppli ouble to tho line of road from Branoh? ville to Colombia and Camden, such portion to be exempt from taxation, and the residue liable. Mr. S. Dibble offered a resolution, whioh was adopted, providing that tbo reports of the officers of tho road bo printed nnd distributod among the stock? holders ono month before tho next an? nual meeting. Mr. S. Dibble movod that a commit? tee of seven be appointed to nominate suitable persons to serve as Direotors of the road; said committee to report at 10 o'olook, on Wednesday morning. The committee nominated tbo follow? ing gentlemen: Wm. J. Magratb, Geo. A. Trcnhclm, L. D. DcSasssurc, John Hanoke), Andrew Simonds, George W. Williams, Henry Gourdin, Francis J. Polzer, James S. Gibbes, Wm. T. Bives, Moses Taylor, Wm. A. Ooortenay, P. L. Cohen, B. W.Oubhedge, J. P. Southern. The convention then adjourned until Wednesdayv at 12 M.

Tho patrons of the Wheeler House have a rich treat in store for them. We see that Mr. Pollock has scoured an enor^ndls Florida turtle, weighing 368 ponnds. Glends of dust were blown through the streets yesterday. To preserve tho goods in the dry goods and grooery stores, the front doors of the bouses had to be kept closed as much as possible. This morning, the grand millinery openings take place. We hope that the wind will lull, tbe buu shine not too brightly, and everything prove favorable to a general turn-out of the ladies. General A. O.-Garlington's drama, em? bracing the period of B. F. Batter's reign in New Orleans, has made its ap? pearance. So we learn from our Atlanta exchanges. Preparations are being made for the erection of a handsome iron awning in front of the Wheeler House. It is being put up by and is the patent of Mr. C. Wehrner, of Charleston. Tbe watering of Main street yester? day, daring the prevalence of the high winds and the rushing about of the ter? rible clouds of duBt, was a great accom? modation to pedestrians. The latest story of an absent-minded man is that of a drug olerk, in this oity, who filled his customer's bottle, and re? ceiving therefor a nice new twenty-five cent scrip, pasted it on the bottle, and put the label in the cash-drawer. We have received the first issue of the Charleston Courier under its new ma? nagement. It is neatly printed, newsy in matter, and spioy iu style. Charleston has now what it long needed?an evening daily. The Rev. Mr. Weiss expresses the con? viction that Hamlet was not mad. For our part we don't pretend to say he was mad, but the oonduct of his mother and his unolo was certainly calculated to make him a little angry. A dog-fancier here is trying, by a sys? tem of crosses, whether he cannot obtain black-and-tan poodles. Should ho suc? ceed in doing so, it is probable he will attempt to produce that long wished for desideratum, a tortoise-shell tom cat. A temperance lecturer, with a very red nose, accounts for the floridity of it by saying that ho was BtUDg by a blue? bottle fly, but ill-natured peoplo say that it was caused by quite another kind of bottle, to whioh peoplo somo times fly for relief. The now and enlarged water piping, whioh tho Superintendent of Water Works has beon engaged in laying, on Main street, below tho State House* for several weeks past, will be quito an im? provement and a souroo of great relief to tho residents of that portion of the oity. The work of laying tho pipes has progressed rapidly, and will soon be completed. The praotioe of throwing fruit parings on the pavements is very ropreheusible, and it should be made punishablo by fine. The City Council have many ordi? nances concerning nuisanoes, but this oiass is omitted. It is dangerous to pe? destrians, and a proper forethought would provout it. We have observed several narrow escapes by persons tread? ing on banana and orange skins on Main street. Some of onr exchangee are complain? ing ofan "infernal rooster tfi*^L<$l,0d the^/oacklor.'"

Onr oltizona should remember that the rate of postage on transient newspaper matter ia one oent for each two onnoes or fraction of an oonoe. Nearly all city papers exceed two ounces, and are less than four ounces, and the postage on eaoh paper is therefore two oents. A great man? papers never reach destina? tion by reason of the mistake about the proper postage. Sent. They Com ?.--The ? rmllinery establishments of Columbia - are op to the times.

Wo cxtraot the following encomium upon the high standing of the Piedmont and Arlington Life Insurance Company, of Bichmond, Ya., from the Spectator, of April, an American review of insurance published in New York. The Spectator is known as tho moat reliable authority on insurance matters that is published in this country, and consequently any word of praise coming from it ia certain? ly deserving: "A Strong Southern Company.?The only Southern life insurance company doing business in New ?ork is the Pied? mont and Arlington, of Virginia. Under the management of Col. W. O. Oarring ton, it is having a most sncoessfnloareer. Fow companies North or Sonth can show so good a business, relatively, of last year. Tho inoreaseof new business in 1872 over 1871 was 412 polioics, $124,82* amount at risk, and $10,907 premiums. Its total inoome receipts were $1,250,904, and it distributed among the widows and children of polioy-holders the large sum of $330,020. Since the beginning of the new year, the rush of business has been greater than ever, the number of Eolicies taken out in February alone eing 425 and the risks on them being $1,000,000. All this is evidence of the high estimation in whtob this company is held in the South, and that endorse mont is sufficient to satisfactorily com? mend it to the patronage of the people of other seotions of the Union." Captain S. L. Lcaphart is tho agent of the Piedmont and Arlington in this oity.
