The Congaree Manufacturing Com
pavny.
The distinguishing feature of the
franchise- granted at the last session of
the General Assembly to the Coagaree
Manufacturing Company, ia tho autho?
rity conferred upon them to construct a
dam aordsB the Oongaree River, by
wbioh a water power similar and equal
to that of the Columbia Canal shall be
secured on its Lezlagton shcre. It has
been considered for years that we have a
miueof wealth in the Columbia Canal,
if properly utilized as ;t manufacturing
po 7er. Iu itj waters are supposed to
reside Luu pouaiuiiiiiub of iue-develop?
ment of enterprise, and of employment
of operatives, which, in their conse?
quences, will increase the population of
Columbia to not less than 100,000 souls,
and a corresponding addition to its
wealth, and even larger proportional in*
oreasepf means of subsistence and sop*
port. We have looked anxiously, for a
long time, to see these calculations veri?
fied by the judioioos employment of
capital, under the direction of soience
and special technical knowledge, on tho
broad field of labor which invitingly
awaits them. What all the obBtscles
may have been in tho way of the
iSpragoe Manufacturing Company, we
' do not propose to discuss or judge. Ooe
? has Jbeen alleged, and no doubt with
. reason and justice, to be tho want of
right to construct a dam at a suitable
point. It is not oar wish to do more
.than "aake a passing reference to this,
?and with no ends to subserve of either
, praise or blame of tbe parties on either
side of the question. Oar object is to
? show that what was considered indis
. psnsoble then, has been conceded now.
'.Jibs General Assembly has granted the
privilege, and if we understand the to?
pography, the improvement which it
may bo made to work in the develop?
ment and increase of the water power
on this side, may be equaled on tho other
side of tbe Ccngaree. Tho practical
effect is to double, onr conception of the
?aloe of what is already conceded to be
one of the most magnificent water
powers in the United States,
The bill which charters this new com?
pany includes in its list of inoorporatora
the names of persons well known in this
community and in the State as possessed
of means, intelligence, enterprise and
integrity. These afford a guarantee that
they will take hold of the work in ear?
nest. There is money aud distinction
in it to them, and immense prospective
advantage to tbe city and neighborhood.
It is twin brother to the enterprise
which has just been successfully inau?
gurated, of constructing the important
link in tbe great line of railway from
Charleston to Chicago, whioh lies be?
tween Spartanborg and Asheville, N. C.
From these two moasures, if from any?
thing, wo may hope for a return- of
prosperity to the State, and especially
from the former, of the increase of
population and development of business
to Columbia. Wo trust that they will
promptly organize and go to work under
the provisions of this obarter. They
seem to us to be liberal aud calculated
to unite tho suffrages and seoure the co?
operation cf all parties. A glance at
some of these, in advance of our publi?
cation of tbe bill itself, will not be with?
out interest to our readers. In the
second seotion, tho company is author?
ized to construct a dam aoross tho Con
garee, at auch point below Geiger's Mill
as it may deem most practicable for
I utilizing the water of tho river for
manufacturing purposes, on either or
both of its sides. It must be completed
within three years, or tho rights and
franchises conferred by tho Act shall
ccnHC nud determine. The third, fourth
und fifth sections are taken up with set?
tling the tcruiH of compensation for any
injuries that may result from tho flow
age caused by the dam to riparian pro?
prietors of land, aud to owners of
j bridges, milln, machinery and factories,
or any other lights. These seem to be
fair and to preclude misunderstanding.
In the sixth section, tho owners of tho
Columbia Canal nro privileged to par?
ticipate eqtally with tbe Congareo Manu?
facturing Company, in tho use of the
i water elevated by the construction of
the dam, provided that thuy contribute
one-half the amount required for its
construction aud repair, and be at
charges for one-half tho cobt of da?
mages cau-ud by flowage. We ueed not
enter iuto tho particulars of this pro?
posed Arrangement. Tho mode of set?
tling all questions of location or cou
' struction, which cannot bo agreed upon
by the two companies, by two engineers,
to be ,selected from the corps of United
I1 States ongiueers, one by each compauy,
and in case of failure to agree on their
part, by reference to the Eugineer-iu
Chiei of the United States army at
Washington, to be by him decided, is
well-ebtjtpm to, make it both^fai^ aad
final. \?pe interests of >the ^ta^tejjBeejta
also prtfBerly g?jirded( ?j tibia coVner, U
well as/that of individuals i.apd'.i com?
panies/ .. Ife.is provided that it shall not
go into effect until theamonnt of $100,
000 shall be subscribed to the capital
stock, and the fourth of it be actually
paid in cash. A certificate to this effect
from the President of tho company to
the Score tar y of State is to be regarded
as sufficient evidence of its ability to go
on with tbe building of the dam. In
oase they do not give this evidence, and
shall not have expended tbe sum of
$20,000 in its construction in two years
from tho passage of the Act, all the
richt.Rj *?ow?J5 S?d franchises granted in
it to tho company, shall revert to and
become vested iu tho State.
Tbe erection of manufacturing estab?
lishments on the Boil, to spin up the
cotton made upon it, the construction of
railways which shall bring us into con?
nection with tbe teeming North-west,
tbe introduction of fresh accessions to
our population, come from what quarter
they may, so they be honest und of good
charaoter, and come to work faithfully
in rebuilding our cities aud recovering
our waste places, the harmony of all
races, classes and interests upon tho
platform of good goverumcnt, economi?
cal management and faithful disburse?
ment of funds, so as to secure efficiency
and responsibility iu officials aud the
general improvement of tbe people.
This is our polioy. Bad meu, who have
betrayed the oountry, who have made
jobs oi its legislation and of tho admi?
nistration of its affairs, must walk the
plank. Better men must be fouud to
take their places. But we do not mean
to digress into politics. We have two
points to whioh we may rally to im?
prove our business, to open facilities to
our people, to bring benefits to the
State and to Columbia, to stop the tide
of emigration, to increase that of immi?
gration: One is the Spartanburg aud
AshevUle Bailroad enterprise; tho other
is the Manufacturing Company, whoso
franchises we have been considering.
We trust sincerely that their intrinsic
merit will address itself to the favorablo
consideration of our people. If Colum?
bia shall at last become , like Columbus
and Augusta, Georgia, a manufacturing
oeutre, her prosperity and growth in
population aud resources will be assured.
We hope muoh from tbe utilization of
her splendid water power, aud trust that
nothing will oaeur to mar its harmonious
and profitable development.
The King of Italy, having occupied a
throne for twenty-five years, on the '23d
oelebruted what might bo called his
"silver coronation." Withiu these
twenty-five years he has seen his king?
dom expand from a petty proviuoo of
North Italy to a kingdom of 27.00U.000
people; and in nddiug to the number of
bis subjects he has always added to his
own popularity. He is tho most popu
lar monarch iu Europe to-day, aud,
what is hotter, ho deserves the respect
aud affection which aro felt for him.

Roller Towels.?Ur. Reuling, of the
Maryland Eye aud Ear Institute, writes
that tbe disease known us Egyptian or
granular inflammation of the eyes, is
spreading rapidly through the United
States. It sometimes causes blindness,
and is very contagions, lie adds: MI
have in many, and I may say iu tho ma?
jority of cases, been able to trace the
disease to the so-called rolling towels.
Such towels uro generally found in our
oountry hotels aud tbe sleeping apart?
ments of tho working classes, and being
thus used by nearly every one, are made
tbo earners of oue of the most danger?
ous, and, as regards its symptoms, most
troublesome, diseases of tho eyo. I,
therefore, would strongly recommend
that the use of the rolling towel be abo?
lished, for thereby we will discard one.
of the great instruments for the spread
of such u clangorous disease of tho eye,
by which thousands of working men are
annually deprived of their means of
support."
Sumnbr's Will.?The lute Senator
from Massachusetts left about 8100,000
in mouoy and valuables to certain par?
ties. But bin principal bequest to bis
country ia thus forcibly alluded to by
tho Brooklyn Engte:
"A confused aud confusing currency,
a demoralizing treasury, a series of
States in the hands of imbrutcd slaves,
and a mephitio exhaltution oT corruption
arising from lue huiis of tho Capitol,
and spreading moral disorganization i
over the land, tainting tho merchant,
tbe banker and the manufacturer,"
Personally houest in money mutters
himself, he Uoated tho biggest .cargo of
rogues aud barbarians ever known in ;
tho history of mankind, if monuments
nre to be built to such men, happy they
who have nothiug but the grassy mound

A Sunday in H?Yto^?*k.
Naw Yobk, Maren 1874.
JEdn. Editor: I wrote yon a week ago
of! my last SuracLiy'a experience in this
metropolis. Ijdenonnced therein the
position of oui of New York's ablest
pulpit orators, in that he stepped aside
from tho duty ol.' the Christian minister,
and became, on the Lord's Day, in
God's sanctuary, the political paitiean.
Since that time, 1 have been mach
nearer tho "Hub," and am pleased to
say, I havo seen an official statement,
which said: "The autopsy proves that
Mr, Sumnor died of angiui pectoris, and
not a vestige of the effect ol the wound
given by Brooks ooald be traced." Let
this bo put on reoord, at least for the
benefit o! the constituency of tho Hon.
Preston S. Brooks, and away with such
political balderdash as Dr. Hop sort L
unnounced from his pulpit last Sunday
night?that Brooks killed Stunner. Iu
our tlays, the three patron saints of tho
Northern masses are Lincoln, Sumner
and Georg? Washington, and the rever?
ence shown them is iu degree in the
order in which they are named.
To-day in bright, mostly cleur and
quite coo], with u boisterous wind; yet
everybody went to church; for it must,
be said of our Northern friends, they
are a grent church going people. 1
floated -with tho current, uud went to
Brooklyn, to hear Dr. Talmadge, at 11
A. M. The Doctor is a thin, tall man,
about five feet teu iuchos iu height, red?
dish sandy htxir, quite bald, side whis?
kers, eloquently tbeatrical iu manner,
but cantingly unpleasant in voice. His
church I need not attempt to describe.
It is new and magnificent, with a pit,
dress circle and gallery, like a capacious
theatre, with a pulpit quite us long aud
n laila broader than the edge of the stage
of a thontro, with tho front curtuiu
down. On this narrow floor is a vase of
flower.;, a Btnall table, a chuir, and Dr.
Talmutlge. Iu frout of him it. thu or?
ganist, but to his rear, covering the
entiru side of this immense building, is
the organ. Behind the organist, from
tho orchestra to the farthest seat iu the
gallery, eat at It-ust 3,000 men uud
women. After the first hymn, the Doc?
tor made many announcements, two of
which aro worth mentioning. "Tues?
day night, 31st iust.," said he, "there
will bo, in this room, n grund jubilee
concert, by Gilmore's celebrated baud.
This will be for the benefit of the
church: otherwise, it would not bo al?
lowed. I am opposed to using this
building lor social or festive purposes;
not, however, because of its consecra?
tion; for I have no faith iu the sanctity
of brisks and boards." Tho second re?
mark was, that on Easter Sunday, he
would baptize, by immersion, some can?
didates for membership in hia church.
His usual practice was to send such
seekers to tho Baptist Church, but aa
careful research had revealed to him
nothiDg iu tho Bible in conflict with
true Presbyterianism and baptism by
immersion, he would, in future, admi?
nister the ceremony by immersion,
whenever preferred. Iu this church,
every one stands up to Bing; u few bow,
but a vast majority .sit stalk upright in
prayer. The Doctor'* subject was tem
peruuoo, and his text from 2d Kings,
10th chapter, and latter clause of 9th
verse: "But who slew till tbeso?"' After
uarrating the bringing of the seventy
heads of the King's sous to the gate of
the temple, aud there their being seen
by Jehu ill two piles, the Doctor said
similar but larger piles wore found on
either side of our entrances to hotels, to
universities, to legislative assemblies, to
congressional hulls, und even to private
homes: then, said he, with eloquence
und gesticulutious, "Who slow nil these?
I can tell you in half u minute. Tho
fathers who keep tho decanter upon
their side-boards, tho women who deal
out friendly punch on Now Year's Day,
the keepers of fashionable saloons," &e.
His Hcrtnon of forty-five minutes was a
descriptive epic upon tho drunkard's
life, death ami future state. Most* elo?
quently he took the bibbler from the
bottle, step by step, lo the grave, de?
scribing lir.it his loss of name and influ?
ence, next of Bttlf respect, then of use?
fulness, of worldly goods, of domestic
hnppiness, of physical strength, of men?
tal prostration, until, finally, he depleted
the death of u delirious drunkard, and
raised the very hairs on the heads of
sonic of his congregation, by suddenly
shooting it into their curs, that he knew
sumo of them who were rapidly travel?
ing this road. To avert this terrible
scourge, he favored temperance socie?
ties, tho Maine liquor law, the Good
Templars, und, as thirty praying women
had recently swept every grog shop from
a Western village of 1,000 inhabitants,
ho would volnntcer to commuud 3.?0U
women, ami march !>* their head, with
the same weapon in hand, to destroy
the drum shops of Brooklyn. Hia prof?
fer was met with applause from the con
f/reyalion. .Such men as these of whom
i tiavo written kuow exactly how to
wield tho populace, in is shown iu their
manner us well Ufl by their talents. For
instttnee, when Dr. Talmadge read out
his Becond 113'oju,
"My sou', be oh thy guard;
lun thousand iocs arise,"
11) said, "this is a battle cry; let it
sound like it, my brethren." Well did
tliLy respond to tho request, for the en?
tire congregation, rising to their feet,
snug this battle cry with fervor uud with
feel ihr.
At 3 3 j L\ M. yesterday, I sot off to
hear some oiu advertised to accompany
sotno sort of religious meeting, at the
Church of the Strangers, with "The
Carolina Singers." Who or what thtso
Carolina Singers are, 1 wad unable to
'; learn, for tho church was go crowded, I
could scared}' got iu at tho street door.
I then went to Dr. Hall's church, and
found that he was preaching to another
crowded house, on tho nuivursal temper?
ance question. He neither depicted the
horrors of tho drnukard's life, nor nd
oised his femalo members to wugo u war
against intemperance, as did Dr. Tal*
madge;. but he told them, to study this
question as members of Booietyi'as m?l
raliete, and as Christians; and when they
arrived at their conolusions from these
Stand-points, to net accordingly. It was
their duty, said he, to view every ques?
tion from two points; and wherever a
semblance of wrong suggested itself in
any question, it was their duty to ab?
stain from practicing or advocating the
question in hand. If moderate drink?
ing tended to increase drunkenness,
they were bound to abstain from liquor.
No one in socity so bumble, but that he
had his inlluencu upon others. Absti?
nence from wrong would exert this influ?
ence lor good; an evil example would
produce an ovil influence. Study well,
then, said be, tho o induct of these
Wosteru women, as wo call them; they
uro not the drifts of society; fur he
kviei?, cv.ii his csnsregutica kuow, many
of tbe women who wero the leaders iu
this movement, and they were the ele
gaut women of refined circles.
With the pulpit cruscdo that was
waged yesterday throughout Now Sork
and adjacent citios, you may look out
for a gcuuiue woman's movement upon
the drum shops of Gotham, at an early
dato. Quito recently, Harry Hill, a no?
torious saloon keeper iu this city, iuvitcd
a prnyer meeting iu bis saloon. M< u
und women attended. Harry presided,
brick I'omoroy made a speech, women
prayed, und some "got religion," aud
all the whilo Harry's "buck room" was
crowded with beer aud whiskey drink?
ers. It is said his receipta for the eveu
ing wero uuprecedeutedly large. Harry
says both women and liquor were sold
that uight.
LiUHt night, I attended Dr. Chu pin's
church, (Universalis!,) aud, us usual,
found the church too ?mall for the euu- i
jtrcgutiou. Certainly the people of New
York uru thoroughly church-going, or
tho number of churches is too small for
tho population. I have never been in
one that was not crowded to almost tsuf
fooation. Whether there bo any more
room here for church buildings, I am
uot to bo the judge; but 1 certuinly do
not subject myself to the chargo of being
I a Pharisee, when I assert that, from my
! stand-point, there is endless room for
the exercise of pure uud uudctiled rcli
giou; for thu religion practiced here
would condemn the proteasor with us.
Dr. (Jhupm is a stout, rotuud old gen?
tleman, of ubout sixty-five years, clear,
distinct voice, graceful and learned; but
what are his doctrines, I um unable to
suy. His church form, his pruyera, his
Biblical reading, his sermon aud the
worship of his church were to all intents
purely Presbyterian. If his doctriuo is
that ull meu are to be saved, and that
worldly puuisnmeut is the Biblical bell,
(as I am told is his belief,) I cau't well
see tho necessity of so much praying,
except us a pastimo. The doctor
preached from Mutthew, 2d chapter,
and first clause of tbe llth verse. 1
need say uo more of this sormou than
that it would have cbevred, comforted
and perhaps excited the vanity of many
of our good mothers, had they heard
him depict true womanhood, woman us
an educator, and woman as the leader in
all that is good und pure iu civilizatiou.
I will not say what effect it would have
produced, had they heurd him say thut
hulf our women do uot rear their chil?
dren correctly; that as often us other
1 wise, the mother is wrong and the child
is right when she scolds, und that fre?
quently somebody else should bo pu
j nisbed when tho child is spanked. I
agree with tho doctor all the way
I through, with a mental reservation,
I however, at times.
I Now York city is u mammoth wonder.
Where its inhabitants live, what they
jlive upon, and how they get their daily
! bread, is to me n marvel. On Sunday,
Broadway is as quiet und deserted us a
country village. All tho week it is
I crowded with a living stream of vehicles
j aud pedestrians from snu-risu till uight,
[ every thing iu a hurry, ruuuing to and
! fro, aud nobody apparently at work.
I Au old citizen remarked to me the other
day: "When I first came to New York
to clerk, the A dor House was uot built,
[apd the ground it stands upon was iu I
the suburbs of tho town." The St.
I Nicholas, Metropolitan, Grand Central,
[New York, Fifth Avenue, und all the
I host of superb hotels are from one to
j two-and-a-half miloii above the Astor,
aud the Windsor, with its 1,500 room-;,
which is tho last grand effort towards n
perfect hole!, is three, miles uud a half
above Iho Astor, und is in the most
fashionable 'portion of the city. Man?
hattan Island will, iu ten years, be a
solid mass of builuiugsnnd streets, '.situ
a population of 3.00U,000.
