The Draft
Another draft is Ordered and our lino:
to is fifty-fiyp, utdoss we have a surplus
over the last call. It is useless to talk
about what, we might have done—a draft
is'ordered for the 15th of Februarynad
unless we fill our quota the draft will
1.48 place. The draft is for one year's
service, and according to instructions
foam kreVrist Marshal, Geucr.tl Fry, any
district furnishing recruits for three
years, will receive credit for the extra
two years, on future drafts, SO that ttlir
fag our quota for this pall, with three
year recruits; wjll give us credit for fifty
fiye on two subsequent calla. Alnio4,
every person who is able, has detarmitied
to put ht a substitute for three years.- - --
These substitutes will be credited to.the
district paying the largest bounty.
If Columbia oilers 6300 bounty imme
diately, for three year recruits, the quota
would bp filled in three weeks. Next
fall,whea the time expires for the ninety
one put.in last fall for one year, we will
probably have to pat in thirty-six more,
and that will probably end the drafting
so far as pi tQwn. is liable, during the
next three yaar.4. We can gpt teq re
cruits now for $3OO each where we cm,
get one for $5OO if we wait till the first
of February. We will
,not'bc .confined
to our.own borough, any person who puts
i substitute will credit him here for
the bounty as a draw back; many of
whom will take a bottd which has one or
two years to run. The money can be
ttixed daring the next three years, so as
not to bQ burthensome. It we move im
mediately we can accomplish the objeCt,
if we wait two or three, weeks we cannot.
Now, shall we take a re*sonable view of
this puttter, or slumber as usual and be
disgraced by a draft every six. monthi ?
Let us wake up thou to a Sense of our
duty—Pall a town meeting at 'Once and
exchange views upon the subject: ' • •
THE NEWS
General Sherman has closely invested
Savannah. General Foster lelegrephs
tbst he had a personal interview • with
131terfilan on thisl.4th in Fort McAllister,•
which had 'been taken by assault on the
previous day. Savannah, was to be sum- .

ed, Sherman was to open his batteries.—
Unofficial dispatches state a vigorous
siege would be prosecuted if Shernian's
demand•was not complied with. Gen
eral Hardee and fifteen thousand rebel
troops were shut up in the city, and it is
expected that they will all be captured.
An official dispatch has been received

M. Itstetea fin litat day Gen. Haren's

Savannah had been destroyed and the
city invested. The left is on the Savan
nah River, three miles above the city,
and the right on the Ogeechee, at King's
Bridge. The army is in splendid order.
The march ryas an agreeable one, and
was unmolested by guerillas. Not a
wagon ligs been lost on the trip, but a
large supply of mules, negroes and horses
llaire been gathered, and the teams are
in hotter condition than when they start

MIL EpuTott :--My' article of week
before last,'relative to LocaN article on
" Our Churches," has called forth an
other article from him on" Truths,"over
the same . anonymous name.
The object of toy former was neither
controversy nor confutation, but was in
tended to induce Local,if honest and will
ing to face the„ . musie,to say what he had
to say against our churches orer his own
proper name. Whenever he does so, I
am ready to discuss with him the mooted
point of Christianity and to show him
the error of his 'main argument, but am
not willing to answer questions by one
unknown, who mvy say what he pleases
and shift his , ground whenever it guile.
him.
The manner in )yltich Local libelled
our ,churches, certainly justified the con
demnation expressed in my article, and
that this is so, I will, only quote a few
passages from Local's article to prove.
Ile says that the Druids exercised, such
a control over the Celtic Nations, that
they " would suffer their bodies to he
offered up as a saerifics" " rather than
incur their displeasure" " all of which
they submitted to through fear . of pun
ishment.". lie next says that the strong
est inducement held out to these same
people by the preachers was that they
would be punished, if they did not re
pelt." Ile next asserts that a " large
majority of our preachers teach religion
at the present day in the same manner
awl with, the same inducemeate." Now
is not this statement false, ititchuritable
and cowardly f A large majority of our
preachers would be say ten out of twelve.
What
.ten ? Will Local over his own
name tell us who they are ? If this asser
tion were true, such a fearless champion
as Local would not fear to publish it
over his own name ! And is it. oot base
and cowardly to make such charges in
the covert manner Local did ?
But this is not all„ ~.FartiMr on in his
article he soya, "if civilisation did. not
extend lb° hand•Of charity, protect and
restrain the bhurchCs by the stroity arm
of civil law; the contest which now eiists
among them would increase to such, an
extent that in all probability they remdd
soon cease to exist ! Now is not this a
base slander on thc good name of the
chrictian churches ?

*aloe the "great majority of its-preaeh
ers";,nre ignorant!! Who are the iguo-
Tay - teneg ? Is Local willing to tell us
over his own name ? If not, is not his
• ,
charge a. base and cowardly assault?
Again,he sais,if our churches "shoal
succeed in converting a majority to their
belief, they would immediately attack
civilization, fir'st by legislation, then by
force of arms." What an assertion l - Did*
Voltaire • or. Hume ever .charge more
against the church ? Is not Nis charge
malicious, false and akin to those who
wrote_above" the tombs in Franre, "death
is an eternal sleep" and ,dbagged a pros
titute-in a car through Paris 'Shouting,
the Goddess of .Liberty, worship her
Surely, the courtesan is the first to bring
charges against female -virtue I"
Local complains of a want of coartesy
in my former article. 1 did not intend
to hi discourteous, but the manner in
"which he mixed up•truth and error and
the twalos of:expression employed by
him: showed that he his no clearly de
fined- ideas on the subject about which he
attempts , to write. r Whoever heard of a
f andante:lda! base, either in Ethics,
Physic, or Philosophy? Surely the thief
is quite a gentleman.! and the murder
ous - perjurer.a obristian ! I have nothing
to do with Local as a man. He. may be
a gentleman, in common parlance, for
aught I ku.)w, but is it gentlemanly to
libel the christian char& in the manner
he has.
If he will write over his own name, I
will discuss the points raised in his arti
cle, but it remains with him to substan
tiate his statemenhs.
PROPRIA PERSONA.
• Ma. EDITOR ::--Private vices and vir
tues appear to be controlled ahuost en
tirely by public action.
'' Vice is u inon.ter of so frightful mein, .
As to be hated, needs but to be feel' ;
Yet seen to nth, familiar with her face.
titst endure, then pity, shwa embrace."
If public morals are bad, private mor
als are sure to become corrupt; But
when public morals ' are good they are
constantly setting examples and exerting
a powerful influence over the actions of
all inivate members of society. We' are
°ollie eve of V . /hub:is usually been con
sidered- an unimportant election; but
which, in fact, is as important to Colum
bia as the ?xeited ),'residential electioji
through which we have just passed: No
olio' will dispute but that, if the popula
tion of COlunibia could be doubled in ten
years, the price' of every piece and parcel
of real estate, within her limits, would
be doubted ; and that the trade of every
store, .shop, or other place of business,
would he doubled during the whole time
that said increase was going on. Enter
-, •
prise is not only a necessity but is
.ful
filling a'pOrtion of the command, to mul
tiply and 'replenish the earth; and like
other Virtues, it -is controlled to a great
extent by public action, If we keep a
sot of drones in as councilmen, wtio keep
our streets fenced up so that nobody can
get hits to build on, pledged by nature
and instinct, to the do nothing policy;
the people will do nothing, 'and Coluin
hia will, as heretofore, continuo to be a
one-horse town, and a disgrace to the
State and county in which it is located.
The result of this policy is, that there is
scarcely a business man in Columbia who
was born here; the wealthy educate their
sons and bring them up in idleness; and
if they escape a premature death, from
dissipation,it is only 'to be cheated out of
their fortunU by sharpers of the next
generation; 'A good business education
is a safer fortune, to leave to a young
man, than all the wealth of tiny one of
our citizens, left to a young man brought
up in indolence. If we wish to give our
town,arstart let us elect the most enter
prising men as Councilmen; and the peo
ple will be sure to follow in the footsteps *
of our municipal authority as their
present"do-nothinginelinations fully Ver
ify. The, growth and prosperity of our
town is not a question for cliques and
politicians to manage;, it is a question of
bread and butter for the laborer, wealth
to the linsiness men, and station, to the
borough.. Columbia is a central busi
ness point, always has Ueen, and is yet,
a kind of laughingstock for other places
around.iner, and will remain so until we
get a .little life
, into our council. The
