The Columbia State says there aro umoisof linmunitiou passing tlirougn :hero en toute to Florida and Ciult points, antl it is known that the govjrnmout ii having the adjutaut-geu- i sral's office furnish some kind of reports. ll In view oYnll this it may be well to givo a few \4cts about the South Caro" liua national guard, us at present organized. V According to tho last report furnished iho United SWtes government by Adjutant (leueftf Watts, this State has 3,743 mou acHlly enlisted and in ser- ' vice now siSeot to orders. They arc all very weifP^uipped. Of these 51 are general and stair officers, 1,200 cavalry, 5)2 artillery and 2,410 infantry. The t total number of men liable to infantry service in this State is put down as 177,800. Columbia is a first-class point for mobilization of troops and they could bo gottou here and scut to the front in less timo than one would imagine, If a service call were issued, it is estimated that these men could be pushed to tho front in twouty-l'our hours' time. In the national guard of tho several States there are 1,301 general and field officers. Pennsylvania heads the list with 185; then comes New York with 80, and (Jeorgin 84?perhaps mostly colonels. The cavalry of tho several States numbers only 5,21(0 men. and of these South Carolina heads tho list with 1,200, nearly four times as many as any seeorit?*-rt3;jta the Union. Texas ranks national gue total artillerymen of the 4,000. I,ouis|afu?'ll. tho Union is only When it comes to' iitl1? list with 401. number of men in tho natraiAitafctaMl is 101,873; New York comes first with 12.503 men, and Pennsylvania second with 7,5)20. ' The total men now iu actual service in tne national guard of the countrv number 113,100. The total authorized by law is 110,120; it is thus seen that the ranks are very nearly full. The total men liable to military duty iu the several States are 10,133,788. An authority says: "In tho military roll of honor the Stnto of New York heads the list with a roster of 13.285 men. in four brigade.*, which are ?n-?> pared for iustaut service. "The total number of men in that State capable of bearing arms is csti inate?l today at 042,750. Of this uumber it is recorded that nearly 200,not) men have served.IP."lUiUr4Cfi?Vry Wfd | would not, therefore, he classed as raw j recruits. "Next to the Empire State, in joint of avuilablo men is the State of Pennsylvania, where there aro '<12, :>15 men cajiable of bearing arms. There, too, many of the men available for service have been thoroughly trained in the military organizations of their adopted country or their native land, for many of them are naturalized citizens, but men who are loyal to the Hag. "Pennsylvania's militia strength is S.n iO enlisted men, including artillery, cavalry and infantry. These have seen moro real service of late years than any of the militia organizations of the ITiion. "The State of Illinois ranks third it; the total available strength of fighting men.^She has in round .numbers iOU.MHi of them lit for service. Of this total only ?>,201 are enlisted in the guard at the present tinig. "Ohio and' lndiana, and Massachusetts and Missouri follow with lOtl,00;) aiul 400,000 uvailablo men. respectively. Kxclusivo of the foregoing force thcro are in 17 States pretty well organized and equipped forces ot naval militia. These forces are said to be capable of taking charge of the vessel.-' now in tlio American naval reserve. South Carolina has a naval militia corjis. She also has several well trained cadet corps. --<? - ? flood Winds for Hire Planters. Strong, westerly winds have j ravailed recently, causing very low tides in tlio rivers, which has gi\<-n the rice planters a splendid opportunity to drain their fields perfectly for the purpose of ploughing ami ditching.

Wade Hampton, oue of the two surviving lieutenant-generals of the Confederacy, consented to speak of the Maino disaster and the probability of war with Spain. "leaunot express an opinion on the cause of the Maiue tragedy," said the General, "as that is a matter which will be determined by experts and divers. But as to what course the United Statos should pursue should the disaster prove to be due to treachery, or to fanatical hatred of the United .States on the part of some individual Spaniard, I do not hesitate to say that we should demand a heavy indemnity and enforce tho collection of it at tho muzzle of tht gun." General Hampton was asked if h? would oft'er his services to the govern inent, but declined to answer. Frou his subsequent conversation tho infer ence conhl he drawn that he would not, He would advise, he said, that the mei of tho South stay at homo and let tin North furnish the troops.
