South Carolina Papers.

We design to give brief notice of the
different papers in our State, showing in as
brief manner as possible, the leading cha
racteristics of each paper
The CHARLESTON CouRIER.-This paper
is published in Charleston, by A. S. Willing
ton & Co. Daily $40 per year; tri-weekly
SS5 persyenr. Col. King, assisted occasion
ally Sy Mr.. Yoadon, and constantly by Mr..
Alexand,r Carroll. formerly of the Palmetto
State Banne,-. superintendcd the editorial
department. Sh!cc Mr.. Kings death, we
presume Messrs. Yea,'o and Carroll control
the paper. The Courie.' is about the best
commercial paper in the State. II is neu-
tral paper, fearful at all times Of rendering
itself unpopular; and has always nd .he
largest subscription list of any paper in tie
State.
THE MERcuRY.-This paper is also pub
lished in Charleston. Daily $40 per year !;
tri-weekly S5 per year. Mcssrs. Hart and
Tuber are the editors and proprielors. The
Mercury is an enthusiastic advocate for Sc
eession, and has contributed no little to fer
ment the blood in the veins of the members
of the Secession party. Still we admire the
Mercury, and have always admired il for the
Independent stand it has ever taken. No
bribery can make It swerye,from the course
II has once taken. The Mercury is also the
organ Of the Democratic party.

Spring. this paper WAS est blished to ad-
vance the interests Of the Cooperation party,
and consequently is still devoted to their
interests. The Standard is one of the stand
ard pIpers of the State. Mr.. Presley and

EVENING NEws-W. Y, Paxton, Proprie-
tor. Daley Ssper year; tr weekly S4,and
weekly 81 per year. This paper is pub
lished in Charleston, and edited, we believe,
by J. N. Cardozo, ESQ. The News is n Co
operation sheet; and from the editorials
which appear in every number, we Judge the
intellectual capacities of its worthy editor
are as brilliant as they were in his more
youthful days. There is more good logical
reasoning in this paper than any paper in the
State

devoted to the interests of the Temperance
