Marketing.
We pay in Columbia from IL to Is cents
pound for beef, at retail. For mutton
about the same. Butter is selling at so
cents pound; eggs, at 40; and chickens
at about 35 cents.
Literary.
The Richmond Eclectic Magazine, of
which we made mention last week, is an
nounced to appear on the first instant. 1t
proposes to be religious and literary, relig.
ious being first From this we infer that it
is to be kind of Theological Eclectic. 1t
is to be conducted by the Reverends Moses
D. Hoge and VIM. Brown.
Brazil.
We have lately seen DR.. Castor, who is
going to emigrate with his family, taking
bag and baggage, to Brazil, as soon as be
can wind up his monetary affairs in this
country.
It is sad thing to leave ones country !;
and it may be a sadder one to remain
Whose part is hardest?
England was conquered by William, and
Ireland by James. The conquered Saxon
ruled bis country and her fortunes the Celt
-emigrates. One to-day is England, and
the other is-Ireland.
City Protection.
One of the four wards of Columbia-the
4th- has citizen guard organized and
officered, which keeps watch of nights
They number 125 men, and perform patrol
duty somewhat in military order. The re-
suit is, that the 4th is the quietest and sa-
fest ward in town.
One great annoyance in Columbia is,
the constant firing of pistols about the streets
at night. This appears to result from a
desire on the part of the recently emancipa-
ted to show off their liberty this, perhaps,
added to the universal wish of ambitious
minds to make a noise in the uorzd
This night.shooting has been stopped in
the 4th ward, through the operation of the
citizen police.
! New York.
The metropolis of the western continent
that has been pushing on towards million
inhabitants for several years, has at length
reached it. The population of the city
proper is now stated to be 1908, ,250 per-
sons showing an increase of nearly 100000
since 1860, when it was Sl3,669. The in.
crease is, therefore, about DC, 900 year.
If we estimate all the adjacent or surburban
cities as parts of New York, (and they should
be so counted for they are essentially so,)
we would get and aggregate Of over two
millions The cities of Brooklyn, Jersey
City, and Hoboken, are all merely extern
sious of New York.
There are tweuty-one pleasure grounds,
under the various names and forms of Parks,
Greens, Squares, and Places.
Broadway ia seven miles long.
There are 2S1 churches in the city. They
stand in the following order-Episcopalian,
Presbyterian, Methodist, Catholic, Baptist,
and Reformed Dutch; besides several 9TH
ers.
Lots sometimes sci! for fifty thousand
dollars A lot measures rs by 100 feet.
There are 9 ,270 grog shops in New York.
The city covers S,4OO acres.
Central Park, just north of the city, cov-
ers over thousand acres.
There are more than hundred hotels in

Sales-Day.

Monday last being sales-day, attracted a
number of persons to our town. Several
tracts of land were disposed of at public
outcry, bringing more encouraging prices
than have heretofore been realized for
this species of property. Eight dollars pei
acre was the maximum price obtained, and
one.snd. .a-hslf the minimum. A valuable
town lot on Liberty Street, brought SS25,
principally cash, in gold.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
The amendment to the Constitution pro-
posed to the States by the last Congress,
was intended as death-blow to the in1u-
euce the South has, in the past, welded
in that body. The following figures taken
from the Cincinnati Commercial, exhibits
the changes in the basis of representation it
will produce if adopted.
The whole number of Representatives in
the House, as now provided for by law,
when the Southern members are admitted,
will be one hundred and forty one; distrib'
uted as follows: Free States LAG, South
ern States 95. The abolition of slavery
having changed the three-ffth basis to five
ffths, gives to the Southern States ten ad-
ditional members.
But if this amendment be adopted, ba-
sing representation Cd actual voters instead
of population as heretofore, the free blacks
at the South will be excluded from the
count, and the ratio will stand thus: Free
Ctates 1859, Southern States 72, giving to
the Northern States an increase of thirteen

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

SlTNS OE Iah IlmE ES.
1t is painful for US to have to record week
after week, the signs of danger that threat
en-, more disastrously than ever before, the
people of the South. The Code of Principles
adopted by the National Convention at
Philadelphia, infused in US feeble ray of
hope, that its counsels might prevail and So
cial order and har mony once more exist be-
tween the sectors North and South. Re.
cent events have dispeled these illusions.
Prominent me who supported the princi-
Piles adopted by this Convention, have gone
over to the fanatics; newspapers have also
yielded to the pressure and changed their
politics to accord to what seems to be the
popular voice at the North. The New York
Herald, Times, Fost and Neps, are embra-
ced in this category.
The radicals will, without doubt, control
the next Congress. Reinforced by the sen
timent of their constituencies as to their ac-
ton during the last session, we cannot rea-
sopably estimate the bounds of further leg.
islation. The crimes of the Southern peo.
pie in their struggle for liberty, is now the
cry of the fanatics. Slavery to the negro, and
the freedom and property of the white is
gone already. Punishment to the persons
of the rebels, confscation of real property,
and dlsfranchisement is all the programme
will further afford. How long this will be
continued is for the future to determine
The South may not yet expect justice, elem
ency, or any of the privileges, accorded the
vanquished. That HATE, supreme above
all else, now fills the bosom of those who are to
govern US, and unquenched aud unqueucha-
BILE, it will probably run its course. If this be
not the future for US, something more than
human genius can foresee must come to the
rescue of the country. These surmises may
be directed to the gloomy side of the pic
ture, and our fears grouudless. We trust
that they are, but sensible Interpretation
of the signs before US lead to different
| view.

the net earnings of the bank may go into
the treasury of your State to free you from
taxation. This would be of some benefit
to you, me, and everybody else. Yes,
I'll venture to say that in FIVE or ten years,
you would not see tax collector in the

all taxes, but would furnish means for

all company banks, as 80 many leeohes upon

The profits of all banking going to free the
people of having to pay taxes, will greatly
relieve them of present embarrassmeuts.
Then you will be free people and not uu-

ands of instances, the recipients of nearly
all the benefits arising from the war, as
we'll as of being the general creditors of
the people, either directly or indirectly. So
that if they are to be allowed to receive the
whole amount due them, they will, in a
manner, be the proprietors of the whole
country, and the balance of the citizens be
reduced to absolute banhrupty and poverty.
Surely then, it is necessary to have some
remedy adopted.
1t is true, that it seems unjust that any
creditor should be required to loose any
part of his debt. Yet, at the same time, it
is equally as unfair, that the debtor should
be compelled to loose by the casualties of
the war, the two thirds or perhaps the three
fourths of his estate, by the government
taking away his property without compen-
sation, and then for his creditors to come
iu and take the balance, leaving him entire
ly destitute of any means of support Tor
himself and family and then to hold the
balance of bis claim over him for life,
whereby he is ever doomed to live in sus,
pense as long as he does live. This is too
intolerable to be borne, and lam sure that
it cannot nor will be submitted to any long
er than until remedy can be found to re-
lieve all such cases. Taking this view of
the subject, I can see 90 good reason why
the remedy have suggested should not be
applied Immediately, so as to prevent those
who have, from the very cautious use of
their capital, from coming in, uuIture-like,
and destroying the whole country.
In times of peace and prosperity, it was
then provided that persons might take the
benefit Of bankruptcy, which virtually dis.
charged them from all liabilities. What is
