Yet terrible as the disaster was, and hopeless
as IL seemed, the indomitable spirit OF the
people rose with the occasion, ana trlumphed
over IL all. They at once commenced to rebuild
their CITY. The business men obtained credit.
but refused discounts on their obligations, and
resumed trade. New houses and stores rose as
by magic on every side, and, with a sudden
rebound, the city recovered itself, and 90 NJ
menced a new career OF growth and prosperity.
II Is now little more than four years since
the raid, and the town is already more than
twice as large as 1t was then. A splendid
bridge spans the Kansas, and large addition
to the city has sprung up on the north side. A

At the last annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad
it was recommended that most energetic and decl-
ded steps be taken by the President and Directors,
to cause branch road to be constructed from the
best point on this road (beieved to be SUMTER TO
the city of Columbia so soon as they can see then
way clear for that purpose. The committee sug-
gested the vast benefit to be derived from such a
road, and urged: "You not only obtain the bene-
fits of the connection that will be- made by means
of the Columbia and Augusta railroad, and to all
points south and southwest, and by the Charlotte
and Columbia railroad, to Chesterville and other
points on this line; but the immense trade that
will be opened to the enterprise OF w imlngton by
the Greenville and Anderson railroad, and when

you have short and quick route from the Great

DeBOW'S REVIEW.

The November number of this standard month
ly has come to hand. We are glad to learn from il
that the publishers have met with such success ir
the revival of the Rcviev, as to warrant them IL
promising that it will henceforth be regularly ssu
ed. This magazine occupies position which nc
other has succeeded in filling. 1t is the recognized
exponent of Southern principles and interests, ane
the conspicuous ability of its contributors has al
ways given it place and an influence among the
first class periodicals of America.
The subjects treated Of in the present number
are of vital interest to the South and the manner
in which they are treated gives evidence Of close
thought and extended investigation. Among 9th
ers are: Black Republicanism the Dupe and A
gent of British Policy; No Treason; The Law O
Labor; The Future of the Blacks; immigration
in Tennessee; Land Monopoly; The South-It
Situation and Resources.
The Reuiev is published at New York and Nash

THE IMPEACHMENT REPORTS.

The committee appointed by Congress, to inves
tgate the charges against the President and report
upon the propriety of impeachment, have finished
their labors. Not being able to agree on this
point, the committee make three reports. That
of the majority, signed by Boutwell, and four 9th
ers, recommends impeachment and accuses the
President of innumerable offences against the Con
stitution and laws of the United States. Thi:
document, the reading Of which, as Mr.. Boutwell,
informed his colleagues, would require ten hours
proved too much for the patience of Congress. Ii
was ordered to be printed, without reading.
. Messrs. Wilson and Woodbridge presented c
second report, which censures the President tol
his political views but states that these gentleman
had heard nothing proved against him worthy ot
impeachment. In their opinion, all the charge:
against him, when sifted, dwindle down to mere
political abuse, and they deprecate the day wher
an American President is to be impeached solely
on political grounds.
The third report is that of the minority, signed
by Messrs. Marshall and Eldridge. This report
is defence of the President, both politically and
personally, against the charges of his enemies. Ii
asserts that his only fault is his unwilingness tc
concur in the subugation of the South, as planned
by Congress. 1t concludes with the following
strong language: ''The President will be held in
respect by his countrymen, when his calumniatorS
are piloried in the undying scorn and indignation
of the American people"
So stands this edifying muddle at present The
mountain has been in labor for long time, but il
has failed to bring forth even live mouse The
results are so small and the project so contempt
be in itself, that Boutwell, could not get the as
sent of all his colleagues on the committee. Two
Republicans actually shrank from putting their
names to his report, and virtually acquitted the
President, though for consistency's sake they cen
sure his political views. 1t is not likely that the
impeachment will go any farther. The latest &C
counts say that there is majority of thirty against
it, in the House.
