uOLEMBIA, & C. Thursday Morning, January 7,1875. "And in the lowest depths A, lower deep.M The'news from New Orleans, pub? lished iu our despatobev yesterday and to day, are of the most startling oharaoter. Tho sickening details are all spread before our readers, and we need not repeat them. The con? spiracy whioh waa ooncootod in Wash? ington by the miserable minions of an unscrupulous and desperate deepotio I power, has been carried out to the let? ter iatfhe Qreocent ' City. Buch an outrage upon a people, suoh a wrong against the sovereignty of a State, was never perpetrated before in this ooun try, proli?o as it has been in its recant odkniniutrution, in outrages and in iamio^ The real fathers of these atrocities uro Williams, the Attorney Geucrul, who carries what little brainB the Goverumont haB at its .disposal, T7itU ft.Boporabuudiiuou of blood-thirsty malignity nud venom, aided by some turbulent and cowardly Senators. The Executive and the General sent out oa tho. villainous mission, secretly at first, are only their wretohed tools. What they hate done, and what they further propose to do, baa only tho base motive of the revenge of despioa blo 1 minda, tho instinotive hatred of .good order, seourity of rights embo ? .died in a people, whose very breath of lifo in obedience to rightly constituted authority and readiness to die for liberty and freedom. One other mo? tive/ if possible, baser atill, is the des? perate gambling for the retention of . -power whioh they see fast gliding away from; them. 'Revolting as are the actions -and sentiments of Sheridan, they are xaore excusable than the language of Oonkling, Morton, Howe, Logan and Eimunda in their vindication, in their apology for the lawlessness of the Go? vernment, j cud in their persistent v afforts to gloss over and hide this, its ^worst and freshest infamy. He is but a brutal egant. They are the designers and planners of the hovrible game. Tin? ii ?II .111 not TTnlaoQ ihm TTjira^' ?T*,^i **w" ? ? Amerioan people have become meaner than slaves, unless they are indeed ready to accept the purplo and kiss tho hem of the usnrpere' robes, nnless they have lost all true manhood, all sense of personal honor and State pride, they will strike down these oreatnres from the places of power whioh they disgrace. We shall see this atrooious conspiracy denounced from one end of the ooontry to the other, and we shall see the formation of a pttbllo opinion which will tolerate the rascally parties to it no longer than it will be necessary to get rid of them. They will meet their fate. Thuir doom is sealed. They will go to the exile contemned by their people, where Butler, Oolfaz, Poland and a dozen others have gone before them, and' at last "To the vile dust from whenoo they sprung, Unwept, unhonored and unsung." What they have done was, perhaps, neoeeparyt,to reveal them in all their proper deformity. They now stand exposed by this conspiracy to the con tempt of every honorable mind, the loathing of every generous heart in all this broad land. Their rapacity for power, their scorn of all right in a people, their prostration before the idol whioh commands butchery and throttles liberty, have this compensa? tion, at least, that they will bring upon theft gqilty hGndfl the> swift and deci oivo retribution whioh they have pro? voked oud richly deserve.! Tbe^^fr^-^eraWoopies.a statement ] from* tho" objoago 7ribun6 that the bpjd announcement of an intention to | bribe 'and -flatter 1 oolored voters, is something .new in'Amerioan politics.

That is his proudest I distinction, and it is ornel of the Union Herald to connivo at depriving him of it.

We oaDDot conceive of anything bet? ter, next to a good understanding be? tween tho different cIbbsi-b of our popu? lation, the satisfactory settlement of oar political difficulties und the return of intelligence, probity, honor and cha? racter to their proper funotiona of ooutrol, than the use, by neighbor? hoods acting tu ooncert of maobiuery, to turu the outton raised in them into yarn and oloth. By this means, if the object could be accomplished at a rate not higher than that of our best manufacturing establishments, cottun would leave the producers' hands charged with a oost very little above that it now bears, and having its value nearly doubled, besides being in such shape as to largely diminish the charges for freight, hauling, &o. One twelfth the weight of a balo of cotton is dirt and refuse 6tuff, and the freight has to be paid on it. The great de? sideratum has been machinery of moderate oost, capable of being worked on a simple plan by tho use of small water powers, aud in close con? nection with the giu-houses, whore the lint is separated from the seed. We know very well that manufacturing, plantiug.merohandieiug.&o., urn nil dis? tinct things, and can be more success? fully followed where each is au exclasi ve pursuit. Had we the mauufaoturiug interest developed i us it should be, it might be well for tillers of tbu sod to keep etriotl; to their owu business. But they have to consider the many peculiarities of their situution and the disabilities under which they labor &~i to manufacturing facilities. Tbe le? gitimate profits on cotton are curtailed from this cause as well as from impedi? ments in its production. Besides, tbe oonversion of the staple into yarn is a simple process, only a step beyond that of its preparation for market by ginning and packing. Itoau be done, of coarse, much more economically before the lint is pat up into bales. In connection with this subject, we have noticed a statement of a new in? vention, called "Clement's Attach? ment," from which great advantages of the kind we have been describing, are expected, A committee from one of the Oounty Oranges of Mississippi has made a report apon its merits. The author of this report, Mr. B. F. Aroher, as we learn from tbe Rural Carolinian, has published in tbe Fanners'' Vindicator some partioulara and explanations concerning it, which, if not extravagant, justify tbe hope of a oomplete revolution in cotton manu? facture. The report itsolf we bavo not Been. Mr. Aroher says: "Tbe Olement's attachment is used npou tbe ordinary card stand, but no use can be mado of it unless there is other machinery in connection with it. But it can be used profitably aud suc? cessfully with a very small outlay. For instance, suppose a man bad a teu horsu power, of any kind, with u good, comfortable house that would exclude the wiud, sufficiently largo to hold tho spiuuiug apparatus, be could work ouu I card stand, one double-beaded draw? ing frame, one spider, und about 400 spindles, which, carefully arranged, would give employment to live or hi children aud one or two hands, und would be quite a nice business. It cannot be run in an ordinary gin house, as some suppose, for where you manufacture ootton you tnust (xcluric both wind and ootd. I hopo that our peoplo will not bu over-sighted, but study this great improvement, with its many advantages, carefully, aud en? deavor to get at a correct understand? ing of it. We sot out to destroy, if possible, the inexorable middle man, and bring producer aud consumer to? gether. Here the finest opportunity presents itself in tho one great staple ever known to any people on earth. More, and better still, all tbe improved maobibery ever known to man for tbo maniifaotaro of ootton siuks iuto in? significance when compared to this one little machine. Nothing, howover good; C?D Compete in safety nr finality of goods; and I venture the assertion, that tho revolution in the mauufaotur? iug of ootton goods will be more signal aud complete in ton years, than tbe great political revolution through which-wo have jast passed." Mr. Oonkliog, United States Senator from New York, familiarly known, wo believe, as Turkey-cock Coukiing, is amazed that any organization in tho South should aspire to get political control of it any mbro. So far has ho drifted from any true idea of what a peopteVrights ore. Suoh a man is a disgraoe to tbo Senate. He is only fit and hardly fit to be a tarn-key. What a combined our and spaniel!

The loss, it is feared, will reach over $800,000. A correspondent of the Union-Herald furnishes tho following partloalars: About 1.30 this Diorniug a fire broke oat in tho kitchen iu the rear of Oart mill's store, ou Russell street, and communicated to the atore, and from thence the tire rapidly spread to the buildings adjacent. As near as can be uncurtained, the flro was caused by a lighted caudle, which the colored girl employed by Curtmill left burning in tho kitoheu. The flame communicated to tho wall paper, and soon the kitchen was in a bhtze. It was discovered by the driver aud passengers of tbo omni? bus belougiug to MerObey's Hotel, whioh was going to the up train. Citi? zens rapidly Congregated, but their efforts to quench the flumes were all unavailing. Oil account of the liar rownem of the street, the tire*commn uicuted to tbo buildings ou the other dde, uud then, crossing buck, soon started the wbolo block. Store after atore blazed up. and before 3 o'clock both Rides of the street were con? sumed, with only two exceptions?the stores of D. Louis aud Hurley. In addition to the stores on RubsoII street, the buildiug occupied by Kirk Robin? son an a book store, and the office of the Oruugeburg Hews was entirely de? stroyed. Tho burut out district was occupied by the following firms: Win. Lightfoot, John Addon, Thomas Cart mill, dry goods, crockery, Sea.; M. Albrecbt, groceries and liquors; J. U. W. Briggmau, dry goods; name un? known, groceries sod liquors; ?

Kohu & Brother, dry goods; bouse owned by C. Bull aud occupied by Mrs. Osteu? dorf; S. Dibble, uuucoupied office; T. W. Albergotti, baker; ? Rich, gro? ceries. Iu addition to the stores and dwelling houses, numerous out-build? ings, sheds und stables were burned. Very few of the stores were insured. Many men lost everything, even their wearing uppurel. Homo few saved their stock. Mr. Meroney, of ' the hotel, saved all of his furniture, bed? ding, etc. The nppearauce of our city is Very desolate. This makes the third time the town bun been burned out? in 1854, iu 1865, during Sherman's marob to the sea, uud now iu 1875. The following is an estimated list of losses and insurances.

It appears that u (synopsis of his message (purporting to have been derived from official sources) was furnished Renter's agency and ap? peared iu the English uud all the other foreign journals. This advance copy continued tho most belligerent lau* guagu ou the Cubau question, and in? dicated an early hostile movement on tho part of our Qovcrnmeut. The de? spatch, says the Herald, "produced a profound impression upon the minds of the Spanish people and upon the funds iu London. There was never u moro shameless stock-jobbing fabrication, and, worse than all, it has been traced directly to the President." So it seems that tbo lessou of Black Friday ia forgotten already. Revival op tiie Suoah Interest in Louisiana.?Sufilciont data has been obtained to warrant tho statement that tbo sugar yield iu Louisiana tho paat Benson was 110,000 hogsheads, worth in round numbers $100 a hogshead, and 200,000 barrels of molasses, worth $24 a barrel, making u total of $28, 800,000. In the Parish of Asoonsion, upon sixtoen acres of ground, worked by two negroes, 72,000 pounds of white sugar and 100 barrels of mousses, bringing $8,400, wore produced. A SootoPpluutcr, Mr. Burnsides, work iug iu tho sumo parish lands formerly belonging to Gen. Wade Hampton and Senator Preston, made 5,000 hogs? heads of sugar aud 8,000 barrels of molasse;, yielding; in all $092,000, ou an investment of $140,000. He worked about 500 hands.

Thi-so deservedly celebrated and popu? lar medicines have effected a revolu? tion iu the healing art, and proved the fullaoy of several maxims which have for tnunv years obstructed tbe progress of medical .science. The false supposition that "Consumption is incurable," deterred physicans from attempting to hud remedies for that disease, aud patients uillicted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which tbey supposed to be una? voidable. It is now proved, however, that Consumption can be cured, uud tbut it has been cured iu a very great num? ber of oisea (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Sobenck's Pulmo uio Syrup alone; and in other oases by the same medicine in connection with Suheuck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man drake. Pills, oue or both, according to the requirements of tbe case. Dr. Scheeck, himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, was supposed, at out time to be at the very gate of death, his physicians having pronounced his I case hopeless, and abandoned him to' his fate. He was cured by tbe afore i said mediuiues, und, sinus his recovery, m&uy thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Sohenok's preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions acoompany each, making it not absolutely necessury to personally see Dr. Sokonok, uuless pa? tients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at bis principal oflloe, corner Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Mon? day, where all letters for udvice must bo addressed. Soheuck's mediciues ?ire sold by all druggists. Juu 9 f 13 Reliable Testimony.?It cannot bi reasonably supposed that when u pet sou testifies to the efuoucy of a remedy whose benelits he has experienced, without solicitation, that be does ;o for the purpose of misleading the pub? lic, or from any other motive thai that of gratitude. It is still more un? reasonable to suppose that eminent physicians would corroborate tho evi deuce thus giveu, unless they wet persuaded of its truth. Tho proprit toi.s of Hostet tor's Stomach Bitters at constantly iu tbe receipt of voluntary Uatiuiouiula acknowledging the cura? tive and preveutive potency of thi bone lice nt tonic aud corrective, emi eating not only from thosu who huvi felt its influence, but ulso from well known members of tbe medical pro? fession, both here aud abroad, who have witnessed its effects, uud pre? scribed it iu their private practice. In the face of such evidence as this, to whioh the widest publicity bus repeat? edly been given, it would be absurd to question the medicinal virtues of the! Bitters. Skeptioism upon this point was long ago disarmed, and they are | to-day us much respected and far more ? ! widely known than many of the oflici ual remedies which figure conspicu? ously iu the pharmaoopu)ia. They aro universally recognized to be the su? preme remedy for intermittent and re? mittent fevers, dyspepsiu, liver com? plaint, general debility, disorders of the bowels uud nervousness, as well us a means of fortifying the system against malarious influences and those whioh operate injuriously upon the [sensitive organs. Whether used as a remedy for aotutil disease, as a means of building up the broken down phy? sique, or of hastening convalescence, they uro never resorted to in vain, and they often restore complete health when prescribed remodies cannot even initiate its recovery.
