ARTEMUs WARD.-We do not remember
that Artemus Ward had any painting to
show, or any description to give of billiard
playing in Mormondom. Had he foundany-
thing there to compare with the Excelsior
Billiard Room, two doors north of the Neil
house, it would have formed subject for a
magnificent picture, as well as for graphic
and eloquent description. But still it would
have wanted one essential feature-the
agreeable and obliging Tom who presides
: over the Excelsior Billiard Room. ONT

Columbia in Ashes-Trenchery of
the Citizens-EsepOrted Occupa-
tiOn of Augusta.

Inc CiuZeus-AAepOFteu Occup1-
tiOn Of Augusta.
New YORK, March 2-The World has the
following additional particulars concerning
the reported burning Of Columbia:
When the Arago appeared off Charleston
bar, dispatch boat met her with impor-
tant news, which, If true, illustrates unpar-
alleled rebel treachery. The officer who
brought the intelligence stated that soon
after corps of Sherman's troops had cap
tured Columbia, the Capital Of South Car
olina, the rebel citizens there endeavored
In every possible manner to harass our
troops. The corps that entered the city af-
ter its capture at once left to join in Sher-
mans further advance, and was succeeded
by another (Gen. Slocum's.) While the lat
ter corps was quietly marching through the
principal streets to their temporary bar
racks, number Of citizens poured deadly
fire upon them from the windows and roofs
of the houses they occupied. InsurrectiOn
was beginning to spread, when our troops
retired short distance and subsequently
fired the city, which is now in ashes. No
further particulars were received.
The same messenger from Charleston also
announced that the news had just been re-
ceived there that Gen. Sherman had march
ed in force on Augusta, and that the enemy
at once evacuated the city. 1t was also
stated that large amount of rebel prop
erty had been captured, and that Sherman,
after leaving sufficient force to garrison
the city, proceeded on his way northward.
The announcement was also made that Sher-
man was probably proceeding to the cities
of Florence and Charlotte in force, and that
he had captured large quantity of sup
plies on the route of his march.
The Herald's correspondence saws Column
bia was burned by order of Gen. Sherman,
troops when the city was in our possession.

C1RcLEvILLE, Feb. 10th, 1866.

OIRCBEVILLE, req. lOLll, 1000.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into the Union school
building of this city In November last and
thus far 1t has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces In the following
important particulars; 1t has, compare
lively greater heating surface; produces
a larger volume of heat with given amount
Of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is su-
periOr; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated.
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, to some extent, by other hot
air furnaces, and to secure to each room an
abundant supply of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as topro-
'tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects of the fire, it is essential that
the warm air-ffues leading to the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current of
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
flues from being overheated, and thus secure
the durability Of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in a healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
Suits and because, after careful examina-
tion of a large number OF furnaces and
other modes of warming school houses and
other public edilices, not only in Western,
but also In Eastern cities, Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

as to divide the duties of the committee of
Ways and Means so as to confine to consid-
Grafton of all reports of the Treasury De-

tive to the raising of revenue and provid-
ing ways and means for the support of the

come in question and be referred to them
by the House, and to report thereon by bill
or otherwise, as shall seem to them expedi-
ent. The other rule proposes to create

The Georgia Election.

The official vote from ninety-four coun-
tics in Georgia, returned to the office of
the Provisional Governor, foots up a little
over thirty-fve thousand. Alow estimate
of the number cast in the remaining
thirty-eight counties makes the total vote
at the last election about forty-ive thou
sand. The highest vote ever cast in the
State was about 100000. Losses during
the war and removals from the State have,
of course, greatly reduced the aggregate of
the voting population. In many of the
counties there was no opposition, and a
light vote wa polled; in others, distant
from the capital, but a short period was
allowed to take the amnesty oath, and a
large number or loyal citizens, in every
section Of the State, who were embraced
within the exception of tho amnesty proc
lamation, not having been p%ardoncd, did
not vote.

Arbitrary Arrests.

A decision has just been rendered by the
United States Circuit Court at Rutland,
Vermont, which, if it be tenable, will prove
of the highest Importance. The case at
issue involved the constitutionality of the
act passed by Congress on March Sd, 1868,
providing that @any order of the Presi-
dent, or under his authority, made at any
time during the existence of the rebellion,
shall be a defense in all courts to any ac-
ton or prosecution, civil or criminal, pend
ing or to be commenced, for any search,
seizure, arrest or Imprisonment" etc. 1t
was by virtue of this act that all the Ear
bitrary arrests were made, during the
rebellion, in the nOn-rebel States, and it
was that which shielded the authors of
such arrests from the civil law. The de-
cision of the court in the case referred to
was that the said enactment "was in VIC
1ation of the Constitution of the United
States, and afforded no protection for acts
done under it" According to that deci-
sion, all the victims of arbitrary arrests"
would now be entitled to damages against
the Government or its officers, and the
whole catalogue of acts done by virtue of
this important law would be illegal. The
Vermont decision, however, is far from a
inality on this point. The Attorney Cen
eral has pronounced the act constitutional,
and several decisions have been made in
different courts, which were hypOthecated
upon the constitutionality of the act.

WV cAAA ALhAAAa
Earl Russell, in the last of his letters TO
Mr.. Adams, takes occasion to congratulate
him upon the close of the war, and espec-
tally on the abolition of slavery. Upon
this last point he says that the British ma
ton have always looked with the deepest
adherence upon slavery, and that "the
United States Government and Congress
have shaken it of, have, therefore, the
warmest sympathies of the people of these
kingdoms"
There is nothing $50 successful as sue
cess" Now that slavery is destroyed, Earl
Russell and the British nation rejoice.
The principal weapon Of its destruction
was the Emancipation Proclamation of
President Lincoln. How it was received
by the English Government at the time it
was issued, may be seen from the following
dispatch, written on receiving a copy of it
from Lord Lyons /:
FOREIGN OFFICE, Jan. II, 1868.
Ny LORD The Proclamation of the
President of the United States, inclosed in
your Lordship's dispatch of the I'd inst.
appears to be of a very strange nature.
1t processes to emancipate all slaves in
places where the United States authorities
cannot exercise any jurisdiction nor make
emancipation a reality, but it does not de-
cree emancipation of slaves in any States
or parts of States occupied by Federal
troops, and subject to United States juris-
diction, and where, therefore, emancipa-
ton, if decreed, might be carried into
effect.
1t would seem to follow, that in the Dor
der States, and also in New Orleans, a
slave-owner may recover his fugitive
| slave by the ordinary process of law; but
that in the ten States in which the procla-
nation DEGREES emancipation a fugitive
slave arrested by legal warrant may resist,
and his resistance, if successful, is to be
upheld by the United States authorities
and the United States armed forces.
The proclamation, therefore, makes
slavery at once legal and illegal, and
makes slaves either punishable for running
away from their masters, or entitled to be
supported and encouraged in so doing, ac-
cOrding to the locality of the plantation to
which they belong and the, loyalty of the
State in which they may happen to be.
There seems to be no dee cation of
a principle adverse to slavery il The proc
lamation. 1t Is a measure Of u, and a
measure If a Of a questionable N1ld.
7e9As President Lincoln has twice s9pealed
to the judgment of mankind, in his tocla-
nation, 1 venture to say I do not think it
ean Or ought to satisfy The friends Of aboii-
fionl swho look for total and impartial free
dom for the slaves, and not for vengeance
on the slave owner.
