The state penitentiary;
Knowing that a detailed description
of this long desired enterprise
would not be uninteresting to our
readers, we arc enabled, through the
kindness of an esteemed correspondent,
to furnish an account of the proposed
building.
The grounds arc situated in the
corporate limits of Columbia, at the
fbot of Plain street, about twenty
minutes walk from the market, arid
immediately on the Canal, and are at
present enclosed by a high wooden
wall twelve feet in height, with only
one entrance through which access is
gained to the works. All visitors arc
required to cuter through the Clerk's
office, and there register before being
admitted to the prison. As yet the
construction of the cells alone occupies
the attention of the architect,
but by reference to the drawings a
cood estimate can be formed of the
" -i r\..
arrangement ot tne sirueuuu. \ju i
entering the main archway, large [
stairways lead from the right and left
to the upper stories. The basement
is divided into rooms, which will be
used as laundry and storerooms, and
the large area in the centre will be
devoted to cooking, heating, and like
purposes. To the right and left are
the north, .and south wings, where the
colls are located. These arc isolated,
having no connection with the walls
of the building, and arc accessible by
a stairway and a balcony. There
. are fifty cells on every floor in each
wing, and they arc five tiers high,
'thus making two hundred and fifty
cells in each wing. Each of these are
.five by eight feet in plan, and have a
height of seven feet, resting on a stone
paving .eighteen inches thick, which
extends to the outer walls, and would
render any escape by that direction
impossible. Each cell is provided
with all the modern appliances for
supplying air, water, &c., and on the
top in each wing, large cisterns will
fie furnished;. these will contain the

..cipally supplied from the river by
means of a large Turbine wheel.?
Sewers,:drains and pipes tire arranged
.throughout the building, and every
attention paid to the hygiene of the
establishment-. There is a corridor
fourteen feet wide passing around the
cells and paved with eighteen inch
granite blocks, and extends to the
wall of the building. The central

The female Department is to the
fight of the male, and combines all
the various divisions Of the latter,
with the addition of a large workroom,
and the cells on the upper floor
are somewhat larger than those used
by the male convicts, being 6x8 and
7 feet high. They arc 48 in number,
which is a fair proportion of females
to males. This proportion is based
on the statistics of other prisons in
the United States.
The pressing want of a habitation
and employment for the convicts that
were waiting in every district of the
State, rendered it necessary to commence
the construction of the cells
first, and up to this time forty cells
have bedn completed and ready for
Hhe reception of convicts. Each of
these cells will accommodate three
Convicts, if the pressure require it.
The' isolated condition of the cells
admits of the construction of themain
building at any" time.
. The architect, Major T. B. Lee,
has devoted all of his engineering
skill and ingenuity to the interest of
the State, and will eventually succeed
in erecting a building whose
magnitude will compare with any
in our country, and for economy of
/-.f rtvr>nllrkfl lw
UUlldbl UULlUli UU wj |
any that has been erected.
The quarry has been located on
Broad river, one mile from this work
and immediately on the canal. By
means of an incline plane, of 300
feet in length, and a chain passing
around a drum, the stone is brought
into the yard. The water of the canal
furnishes the motive power, and
by a skilful arrangement of machinery,
rock is now removed that would
formerly have required the labor of
twenty horses. At present 40,000 lbs.
of rock arc put into the yard with
the assistance of only four laborers.

is directed toward the the construction
of the prison.
His Excellency, the Governor in
company with General Burton, visited
llie Pennitentiary on the 29th ult.,
and were escorted around the extensive
grounds by the Architect and
Engineer, Major Thomas B. Lee.-1tlp
to this date the visitors' register
shows over 800 visitors since the 11th
of May.~The roll of convicts now
jiumbcr 52, the majority of whom are
aide bodied hands. They work well,
and arc well clothed and fed.

Sad Casualty.?A colored boy of
about six years was suddenly killed
in this place, on Monday afternoon
last, in the following singular manner:
The child was playing in his father,
s yard, when a soldier of the
garrison, who was passing along the
road this side of the depot, discharged
his piece to get rid of the load, and
the ball passed over a field several
hundred yards, through an inch board,
through the child's body and lodged
in his arm, killing almost instantly.
A Coroner's jury was called?of
white and' colored men?who rendered
a verdict of accidental death. This
occurrence speaks loudly against the
practice of shooting guns in the limits
of the town, especially when loaded
with balls.?Southerner.
Protection-Demanded.?The attempt
made ill this city by Radical
"demagogues to arouse a feeling of
discontent and of opposition to law
among the working men, has .its parallel
among the.Radicals of Allegheny
county, /Pennsylvania. A recent
meeting of these protectionist worthies
was -marked by the passage of the
following extraordinary resolution:
Resolved, That,whilst we earnestly
advocate the doctrine of protection to
home manufacturers, we at the same
time deprecate and oppose the efforts
now being made to import foreign labor
to complete with the home laborer,
and we urgently request our Representatives
in Congress to provide by
legislation a head tax upon improved
laborers. <
While the whole country is clamor-,
ous for emigrants to come in.and, tiid
in the development of our resources,,
these Pennsylvania protectionists call
upon Congress to impose " ahead tax"
on new comers, in order to secure to
themselves the monopoly of labor
and the regulation of its price. ..This,
demand is in exact keeping with .that
of the iron-mongers and manufacturers
of the "Keystone State" Who,
by protective measures, have. ^anaged
to raise the price of iron far beyond
its normal value, and in this
manner have. imposed a tax qu the
consumers of irou throughout the entire
land for their special benefit, The'
iron men of Pennsylvania ask/protection
against foreign labor, because it
is capable of furnishing cheap iron to
our people, and the working, men of
that State, instead of wishing to see |
this country the traditional "home of
the stranger asylum of the oppressed,"
cry aloud for protection against "imported
laborers." .
Our local llaideals, have done all
that they could to turn our resident
white population out of employment;
they have raised* against them a persistent
cry of disloyalty?have .persuaded
the negroes to abandon the
labor to which they had been accustomed
and flock to the city in order
to crowd out the " rebellious jyhite
trash" wherever possible, and are n.ow
trying to get up a workingmcn's opposition
to the execution of our muni
eipal laws. At the bottom of all-this
tlicrc is something of political trickery
and something more of 1 lie leaven
of agrarianisin. Radical influence
lias taken the bread out of the mouths
of hundreds of policemen and other
municipal employes and givey it to
men anu oromeiA or .i-iUiUu. <4rcUr^A
order to secure the negro vote, and it
is now endeavoring to bring about a
"plain and colored" amalgamation,
the motto which is "less work; and
higher wages."
Wc trust that all respectable men,
both white, arid colored, will stand
aloof from this illegal and most mischcvous
attempt to array certain classes
of our people against other classes.
Already wc have enough of this;
let it be abandoned at onccand forever.?AT.

Hon. W. W Bovce.?Wc find the
following brief extract of a letter from
our former Representative in Congrss,
in the Clarendon Press. It is address
to Air. Gullucbat, of that District:
A word as to the public matters. I
think our people ought to register and
participate in the election. To do nothing,
will be tocommitsuicidc. I think
the great point is to carry out General
Hampton's ideas, and show themselves
thereby the friends of the colored people.
Our people should recognize
what is inevitable in regard to the legal
and political rights of the blacks,
and grant of their own volition what
will be given in spite of them. By
this course, harmony between the two
races will he maintained, and political
power in the State will remain in
safe hands. All expressions through
the press or otherwise against the'dominant
party to help the South. The
great object with the South:now
should be to get established in their
political rights. Then a feeling of
confidence will take the place of present
insecurity, and capital flow in
from the North.
1 feel intensely for the unhappy
condition of my Southern friends.?
You must not be discouraged?struggle
on?affairs must improve.
With kind wishes, your friend.

Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary.?We learn that this body
has recently purchased the property in
town known as the Coodlott House,
and intend to use it as a boarding place
for the students of the Seminary. The
measure is universally regarded as a
very good one; for it will materially
lessen the expense of those young gentleman
who enter the Seminary in a
course of preparation for the ministry.
The remarkably able faculty connected
with this theological institution
furnished' in itself a rare advantage
to those seeking such religious instuction;
hut its claims arc further enhanced
by the provision alluded to.
We have 110 doubt that the next session
will show a large increase of stu1
dents.?Greenville Mountaineer.

for tho most pfji-t is doing well.

large shallow boiler; cuok them as. thick as
possible witliout.hitrning; it will be necessary
to stir tltctn very often ; put in a small quantity
of ground black pepper, to keep off flies,
when drying.. Spread .the mass out very

wrap the roll iii'paper, seal the ends,' keep

; !'. Registration.
Wc publish to-day the names of the Registers
of voters for this-District. Perhaps
ol' those who can qualify by faking the oath,
this is as fair a selection as could be made.
There is no reason to apprehend fraud or
partiality in the discharge of their duties, on
the part of this hoard. Very soon, our people
will be called upon to register, or to'for tcit
all voice hud influence m tlic reorganization
of the State Government, the formation
of the Constitution, under which they
and their children arc to be governed, and
the framing of the laws under, which they are
to live. It is one of the saddest exhibitions
of the times, that a sort of paralysis of indifference,
or.impracticable and unwise adhesion
to constitutional and political theories,
long since severed by the stern logic of events,
written indelibly upon our history, by the
littler of the Universe, possesses a large portion
of the people of the South. In Virginia,
where the white population arc largely in
the asccndiiacy, at last accounts, it was very
doubtful whether tlio State had not been I
turned over to negro rule by the neglect of
the whites to register. In Georgia, the same
result is senouslv apprehended. Now, what
possible excuse c;in those men render to themselves,
who by this neglect of the simple duty
of registration, thus fatally wrongs the State?
In Georgia, under the lead of Stkvkns,
Toombs, 11 n.i., Johnson and others, the old
democratic party is revived. The organization
of national parties at this time, can have
no possible effect but further to distract and
divide the Southern whites, and incense
their implacable and powerful antagonists.?
If the. white people of Georgia arc divided, as
they must he, between the counsels of Gov.
Bhown, 011 the one hand, and these old line
democrats on the other, the negro will rule
Georgia certainly and inevitably. This is
no time to make new issues, nor to revive
old. What we need is to organize State
governments upon some sure basis, and rescue
our race from hostile and degrading domination.
This must be done. It can bo done
by dealing wisely with the stormy elements
which surround us. Not by drawing party
lines, nor by arraying race against race to
our common ruin, but by uniting all races
nnd classes in a common effort to promote
their true interests, as citizens of ibe same
State, all alike, dependent upon her welfare
and prosperity, nnd mutually dependent
upon each other. It may now be too late,
but an honest, united and intelligent effort
of ouv people in this direction, would have
insured success. Hut surely no good can result
from a voluntary forfeiture of the right
to vote, whether any good is to come of registration
or not. If the white people fail
to register, it will be laid at the door of rebellious
obstinacy, and may lead to the permanent
disfranchisement, by a provision of
the new Slate Constitution, of all who willingly
omitt to register and take part in
the organization of the new government.?
Wilder and more unreasonable measures
than this may prevail, if our people proclaim
in advance, their enmity to the new government,
by refusing to register, and let all who
[ can register, use their best powers and influence
to orgnn'izc a government under
which we and our children can live in peace,
at least, if not in contentment.

" Our Nativo Land."
To one of just and cultivated sentiment,
these words convey all that.could
be expressed in the fullest amplification
ot their meaning. The old roof
tree, the babbling brooks, the shady
groves, the sunny fields, the. rugged
hills, the old school house, that witnessed
our childhood's : sports, all 'come
back to view. The companions of early
life, with all the'varying vicissittides
of their pilgrimage and ours, pass in
review, mingling tints of glad and
mournful hues. "Wo dwell.in sweet,
reverential memories, on ;the .white
lucks and loving faces of parents, whose
words were law, and whoso law was
love, and shed toars, mixed with emotions
of sweet and bitter, ovor their
quiet and peaceful graves.
Patriotism, worthy of the name
takes its origin from those very centres
of our being and experience?it commences
at home, extends to neighbors
and friends, to the district, to ,tho State,
to tho general government, getting weaker
as it diffused, yet maintained, supported,
strengthened, in its remotest
branch, by this life giving centre, which
finds its warmth at the home hearthstone
That patriotism which expands itself
over a continent, without a support
from such a centre, is like the child's
soap bubble?it lias some pretty hues,
floats gracefully in tho atmosphere of

Cotton Growing in California
?The San Francisco Bulletin half
thefpllowing interesting paragraph oil j
the subject of cotton growing in Cali- - "1
fornia: 1
"Much interest is felt in the at-' w
tempts still making to cultivate cotton
on a large scale in California^^pd it
is believed that a considerable breadth
of land-will be planted ip the ^taple'
this year. - Wc were showd fo-day /
some sample of green1 seed, or-upknd- if
cotton, grown in Sacramento county f
last scasdn, and representing a ship- j
mcnt of about six bales or one ton in M
weight. The staple is of a fair quali-' 1
ty, and will compare well with the' J
medium grades of the same variety'
grown in the Southern States. The'
fibre is about five-eights of an inch
long," is: of good colour and fineness,
aiid remarkably strong when twisted.
In the absence of "knowledge as7to
vield and cost of culture, it'is not
4/ , ~ ' V" :
possible to speak as to its. profitable- \
ness as a crop, but the: quality of the
cotton is good beyond cavif.-M'It is
now over tlirce years . since, the
first experiments in cotton growing
were. madc-in-California^-and- its-culture
lias^sinee heeivstcadjly -prosecuted
in several districts/' Oiic'wbuld
suppose that by; this.t^uie.thoibusiness
would liave formed,regular cjh^nncls
through ' which: some ; accurate
knowledge could be derived as to culture,
yield, &c., but such is. not-the
case. The sale of home raised cotton
is confined to a very few parties
in'this city, yet these -parties.are jo
much in the dark as to the extent pf
the crop of, 1866 as to be unafile to
definitely state whether it was 10,000 ^
or 100,000 pounds; neither can they
give any particulars connected \yith
its growing."
Better Times Expected.-Extrcme
ease characterizes the money
market, and stocks and Goyerpuucnt
securities are looking up. .The market
for dry goods in Hew ,,York is
irppyoving,, according to the Ind$- ,
pendent. Goods are. no longer forced
upon the market at a: sacrifice.:.-.'
The banks, it is reported, arc also
quite free from their monthly or
quarterly panic..; The^are making;
their quarterly returns without disturbance
of their customers..; They
are said,, to show a better condition
.than theydinvc hitherto done! Perhaps
the reason is that, while busi- *
.ness kas been dull, there has<:also
been a faUrngoff in speculationj. and
the tanks have therefore been less exposed
to losses. ' ' : :iv - "*
Tlicre is a prospect of an abundant
harvest and of cheap food for the
people, which will do more for the*
benefit of industry and labor, than?
an equal division of property once a*
month. Cheap food is the main
spring of all productive industry and
enterprise. It will make railways,
and start the factories, and improve
farms. Those who have lost money
by producing or importing more goods
than the people could buy and pay
for, under the pressure of high prices.
TIrey need not hold back cotton prints
and sheetngis any more than wheat

Radical Newspapers in the
South.?The New York Times of
Thursday last says:?"It seems that
the attempt which Congress made,
through Mr. McPhcrson, to cstalj)is1i
a class of violently Radical newspa- >
pers in the Southern States, will
prove a failure, unless .additional donations
from the Treasury are promptly
made. Neither the whites or blacks
can be induced to read these journals,
and the special appropriation
made to them, under the plea of comsation
for publishing the laws of the
United States, is found altogether
inadequate to their necessities. Even
Hunnicutt's paper in Richmond, the
New Nation, is in its last stages.?"
Hence we read in the Tribune of yesterday,
that 'until Congress makes
an additional appropriation for their
support, as well as arrangements to
pay their bills promptly, this class of
journals will fail from necessity.' We,,
in common with other groaning tax-,
payers, will watch with interest to see
whether, and m what shape, Congress
will make this additional appropria-.
tion."
Brazilian Emigrants, who have gor c- <
to that country from the United States,
and returned home again disappointed,
arc constantly warning their
countrymen not to go to Brazil. The
latest warning of this kind is from a
Georgian, who publishes a letter in
