NOTICE is hereby given that this Office is
law creating tho same, and is ready to proceed

We desire to present to the country,
North as we'll as South, some of the many
advantages that Columbia presents as a
place suitable for trade and desirable for
residence. The capital Of South Caro-
line wants to enlarge its borders and to
increase its numbers. Few cities pre-
sent better advantages and opportunities
for trade. Its railroad facilities, are con-
siderable, and gradually, well cultivated
farms are spripging up in the Immediate
Vicinity. whilst the suburbs are now
adorned with pet patches of cotton,
which extends its empire even into the
interior ofthe city. Here. too, we have
In tie canal. which we expect Mr..
Sprague to Improve, unfailing and
abundant water power. Indeed, there
is no reason why Columbia should not
be an extensive place OF manufactures.
Here can be readily obtained all the ne
cessary elements. This is central situa.
tion. and by means Of the several rail-
roads centreing here. there is the oppor-
tunity OF sending manufactured products
10 Northern or Southern markets. Here,
then, is the place for capital to seek in
vestment and the citizens care very little
where itscomes from. provided it brings
with it some bona jsde settlers to live
amongst us and share our future; and we
are glad to add, that Columbia is rapidly
improving. Since her he,manization,
our city has taken new. lease of life.
Handsome sta.es adorn Main street, and
neat and tasteful residences are spring
ing mp in the burnt district. Workshops,
mills, iron foundries, bridges, depots.
hotels, banks, printing Offices, schools,
churches. &C., have been built up in our
midst, and the good work of improve
ment is still going on; and soon will Co.
lumbis have many Of the appointments
that belong to fully endowed city. Nor
is Columb;ss less desirable as place of
residence. There is no healthier place
South than this city-in this respect
scarcely less attractive than Aiken, now
50 popular at the North. Like Aiken, it
has dry climate. The city is unusually
well drained, and there is nothing CT c
Especial character to induce disease. It's
walks and drives make it agreeable to
the pleasure-seeker, and, in fine, few
places can be found more calculated to
tempt the sojourner to pause, lest going
further he might fare worse. On behalf,
then, of Columbia and her citizens, we
send these presents greeting to the coun-
try, and invite accessions to our capital
and numbers.

The Political Situation.

Since the last Presidential election,
when party lines were strictly drawn,
and almost every voter placed himself
squarely in the ranks either of the De-
mocratic or radical party, marked
change has taken place in the political
situation. And we are pleased to find It
ia change for the better. Whilst the De-
mocratio party has remained intact,
quietly resting upon its arms, division
has arisen in the Republican ranks.
They are now Republicans conservative
and Republicans radical In the Union
at large. Wendell Phillips may be re-
garded as the type of the latter class,
and Horace Greeley-getting wiser as he
grows older-of the former. In South
Carolina, Senator Sawyer represents the
conservative Republican, and DR.. Mackey
the radical. r--.'.rJ ,".
In Virginia and Tennessee, the Demo
Gratis, uniting with the conservative Re-
3publicans, adopted plausible policy.
and won great political victory. It re-
mains, however, to be seen if they are
allowed to enjoy its fruits.
The Indications thus given are sug-
gestive Of the possibility of better days,
and of o wiser policy than that which
has governed the country these four
dreary years just passed. The day of
political Acknowledgement and of odious
test oaths seems to be passing off, and
as the fierce rage of the Northern radi-
calls dies away, there is q chance for the
South-oppressed and outraged as no
Christian people ever were before-to
have fairer field for the enjoyment of
\ her rights, and the development of her
industries. The Republican party has
3purged itself, in its conservative role, Of
much that was offensive, unjust and un-
wise; but it will have to divest itself of
very many more Objectionable features
before it can of oil commend itself to the
federation of the intelligent people of
I the South. In the meantime, let us
3hope that there will arise disposition
among the good men of all parties to
3unite in the effort to resist the national
tendency to unity and empire, to rebuke
the spirit of political intrigue and cor
Eruption, and to make the country great
as we'll in moral grandeur as in material
prosperity.

RAILROAD SIaNA1s.-Electricity on the
railroads in France is taking the place of
human watchfulness. On many lines
there nre countrivances whero the pass
ing of train is automatically announced
to neighboring stations. The cars pass
over connecting wires, and the train re-
cords itself before and behind, 80 that
its progress aud appearance are alike in

A GREAT PEOPLE. contemporary
refers to the unjust confinement in
prison, in the State of Mississippi, of a
white man, by the military authority, on
the charge of having killed negro.
The negro is alive and kicking, and ex-
plains his sudden disappearance by
stating he had been to camp-meeting
yet the prisoner is not released. In
alluding to this outrage the Crisis thus
expresses its indignation: "This is but
one of thousand instances of the
heathenish and disgraceful congressional
barbarism maintained in the South by
the Jacobins and their magnificent rep
resentatives rusticating on the beach at
Long Branch. We are q great people
especially great on eagles, freedom, clam
bakes, horses and Grants"
