The Fruits of Secession.

In the Southern Methodist Conference, on
the 18th April, the following touching re-
marks were made in reference to Columbia,
South Carolina:
&" Rev. DR.. w. Smith said: should not do
justice to my own feelings if 1 were not to
add few remarks upon presenting this
memorial to this Conference. have been at
a loss to know what direction to give it. l
do not see that it requires to be referred to
any special committee. / am aware that this
Conference has not funds at its disposal, or 1
am persuaded that the same generous spirit
which has always animated you would make
you contribute literally to that church,
There is, however, one thing that may be
done very appropriately, that is, for this
General Conference to give utterance to their
sympathy for those who have been most de-
plorably afflicted in this late cruel war; and
as the Columbia Q. Conference has appointed
an agent to receive donations, it may be well
for this General Conference to indorse that
agent, and recommend the object of his mis-
sion to the generous consideration of the
people throughout the country When I
look upon the past history of that church.
when look around me here and see so many
esteemed and venerable men who have been
connected with that church, and when 1 call
up the flood of recollections associated with
that church. my feelings are almost too big
for utterance. 1 remember it, as the spot
where I first gave my heart to God. That
building, now lying in ashes, is where some
of the most venerable and oldest members of
this General Conference labored perhaps be-
fore I was born. I remember that it was a
spot where Christian iberalty and Christian
feelings were called out and exhibited on the
noblest scale. But sir, it is now gone. Our
friends at distance have heard of the ruin
of Columbia; they have heard of the sad
havoc which war has made i'll that beautiful
town, but the imagination can not conceive
of the scene of ruin that has been left
Throughout the long street where the bust
ness was conducted, block after block on
every hand the widespread confagration
has swept down, and all now lies in ashes
and ruins, save where some one DESTROYS to
recover from the shock has commenced to
build again, and here and there, perhaps,
some single-story building rises out of the
ruins. The men of that church are men that
have been wont, in the day of prosperity, to
dispense with a bounteous hand and to re-
spond literally to all appeals but now many
of them are dependent upon charity for their
daily bread. 1t is a sight to make any man
weep, and believe there is scarcely any one
who knew Columbia in its days of beauty
and prosperity, who could visit it now and
behold its ruins without weeping tears of
bitterness and sorrow for its sad, sad fate
That congregation, made up of noble and
generous men and women with large men,
bership and fourishing Sunday-school, are
now scattered and dispersed, and know not
where to call home"
These are some of the fruits of secession.
But South Carolina aooald have it so.

The Northern papers are publishing full

The Northern papers are publishing full
accounts of the late unfortunate riot in Mem
phis. The account from the Memphis Post,
Union paper seems to be devoted mainly
to the wrongs inflicted on the colored peo-
pie. The Post says the feeling was equally
strong against the blacks and white Union
lists. The teachers of the colored schools,
fearing for their safety, left for Cairo. 1t is
impossible to estimate the injury which this
riot has done to the recently insurgent States
1t makes no difference which race is to blame
in the matter, the effect ON the Northern
mind is the same. Such occurrences as these,
with the defiant disloyal- tone of nearly all
the Southern presses, are laying up for us all
additional humiliation, deprivation and
sorrow.

Death of Hon. George e. Badger.

This distinguished man expired at his
residence in this City, yesterday, ofparalysis
at an advanced age. He was suddenl!
stricken down in the early part of 1864, and
has since fingered deprived to great ex
tent of those extraordinary powers OF mind
which have rendered him SO illustrious In
the history of our State.
Mr.. Badger never evinced sollcltude to-
Office, but confined himself to the walks C.
his profession; yet he had been member O.
the Legislature from the town of Newbern,
a Judge of the Superior Courts, Secretary oi
the Navy, Senator in the Congress OF thu
United States, and a member of the State
Convention of North Carolina in 1861. In
all these positions he acquitted himself with
marked ability. He was great lawyer, &
disinterested, patriotic statesman-a ripe
scholar, most accomplished orator, and
heightened, honorable, good man. More we
could not say, and less could not be sail in
justice to the deceased.
Though his death has long been expected,
owing to his enfeebled condition, yet the
announcement of the solemn fact has occa-
stoned profound sorrow in this community,
as it will throughout the State.
We learn that his funeral will take place
from the Episcopal Church tomorrow eve
ming at o'clock.

Twelve months ago yesterday, we-the
Senior Editor-were summoned to Washing
ton by President johnson to consult on
the state of affairs in North Carolina
Almost at the same moment the dispatch
from President johnson was received, we
received a letter from Hon. Edward Stanly
urging us to repair to Washington to
see what could be done for the good OF
North Carolina. We went We saw the
President frequently, had full and free con-
versations with him, and returned with our
commission as Provisional Governor. We
did not seek the place 1t sought us.
But behold the change! Then the State
was submissive, and ready for any terms the
government might impose. Now, majority
of the people seem to be defiant, and I'M
willing to return 10 the Union save. on their
own terms Then the test oath, hard as it
is on even the great body of the Union men,
was respected as the law of the land; now 1t
is regarded as disreputable to be able to take
it. Then the prime authors of all our woes,
the secessionists and latter-day war men,
were, to all appearances, unconditional Uni
onists; now they are impudent and arrogant,
and the true Unionists are detected. cowed,
prescribed under the ban socially, pecunia-
rily, and politically. The seccssionists of
and by themselves were comparatively pow
erless; but as soon as Gov. Worth and the
latter-day war men joined them, governed
as the latter were by vanity and the lust for
office, they became the ruling power in the
State. What is to be the end of all this we
are unable to foresee. We only know that
those public men who now control affairs in
this State are among the worst enemies the
President has and that they are augment
ing the general distress and ruin by keeping
the State out of the Union. Our hope is in
the President, IN the Congress, and in the
approaching State Convention.
We referred just now to letter received
from that pure patriot and distinguished
statesman, Edward Stanly. The occasion is
suitable one for saying, that soon after
Gov. Vance went into Office in 1862 he re-
ceived a letter from Mr.. Stanly, then Military
Governor of this State urging him to meet
him at Kinston, under a flag of truce, to
talk about the best means of relieving North
Carolina from her then unfortunate situation
In other words, it was a pence letter from
devoted son of the State, who would freely
have given his life to save his old friends
and fellow citizens from the calamities that
were in reserve for them. Gov. Vance did
us the honor to consult us on the subject
We have the qualification of remembering
that we advised him to meet Gov Stanlv,
and see what could be done to relieve and
save our people. But other counses pre-
vailed, as they prevailed afterwards. The
influence which asserted its control at that
period continued to the last, and the result
is before the world. Ruin ruin ruin -
We drop the curtain on the scene.

s. American MANuFAcTuREs AaIERI-
CAN GoMrAN9 AoF WALTHAM, Mass Every
one knows that the mechanism of the best
manufactures of this country is unequalled
in any other part of the world The genius
of American mechanics produced the cotton
gin, the mechanical reaper and mower, the
sewing machine, and last but not least, the
wonderful machinery of the American Watch
Company of Waltham. This Company was
established in 1850 and has grown in pro-
portions which entitle it to a first rank
among the manufacturing enterprises of the
New World. 1t employs between 900 and
1000 artizans of superior skill and charac
ter, and a large and thriving town has grown
up in its vicinity. The factory covers over
three acres of ground, and as an illustration
of its extent, we may mention that it is sup
piled with more than so miles of iron pipes
and produces an aggregate of nearly $4,000
watches per annum. The founders of this
Company believed that the same delicate
mechanical processes which had produced
such remarkably perfect results in larger ma
chimes, might be applied with'even greater
advantage to the production of the watch.
The foreign time pieces made principally
by hand, and except when of high cost, an
imperfect article, often out of repair, and of
little value is the result. Abroad, these mys-
FERROUS and infinitesimal organs which, when
aggregated, produce the watch, are the fruit
OF slow and tollsome manual processes. In
the results, there must of course be lack of
that perfect uniformity which is indispensa-
bic for correct time-keeping. The constitu-
ent parts of the American watch, on the
other hand, are fashioned by the most deli
cate and accurate machinery. Wheels, pin
ions springs, screws, absolutely uniform in
weight, circumference, dimensions, and in
every possible particular, are turned out in
myriads by unerring fingers of steel, and
their proper combination and adjustment by
skiltul workmen have given the Company its
high reputation. Its watches not only go
with the trade and go in the pockets of
200, 900 people, but they go right and go eve
rywhere.-Erctange

THE COTTON CROP.

4 goice from MFssissippi--Azer. III Stephens
Estimate Deemed Ertraoagan-T Floods
in Carroll County.
Walden, CARROLL, Co., MISS,
April 80, 1866.
In looking over the Bulletin l see the an
nouncement made as coming from Hon. A.
H. Stephens, of Georgia, that the cotton
crop of this year would reach three million
bales. 1 don't suppose Mr. Stephens has
made any estimate of the crop; if he has
am sure he would have informed himself
and not haves been so wide of the mark
These reports think, are intended to depre-
ciate the planting interests South, and may,
to certain extent, have their effect. If the
prospects of the crop in this county this
year are fair criterion to judge the cotton
growing region by. we here will be deceived
if half of three million bales are made.
The late flood, rain from Thursday to Sat
urday evening last, was most unprecedented
and has done much damage to the crop. I
other regions have not suffered we have.
