Plank Road.

The enthusiasm with which our neighbors of
the up.country and North Carolina have en-
oarKeo, IN ."e o1@s"Sssss n Efne efficiency Of
this valuable medium Of communication. On
q large scale. and for the purpose of annibila.
ting time and space, Railroads are convenient
and indispensable, but for aAording facilities
for our farmers, and opening a safe, easy, and
sufficiently expeditions channel of conveyance
for their produce, in sections where there are
no railroads, or where the distance to them is
too great for the ordinary modes of hauling.
the Plank Road is the great desderatum. In
most ofour upper districts the people are ac-
lively engaged in projecting new, and extend
ing other roads Of this character, and we shall
in due time see them branching out everywhere
between our inland towns and villages There
are'ive Roads now leading out Of the town of
Fayetteville, N. c., the average cost ofwhich
was not over fourteen to fifteen hundred dol
lars per mile, and all paying ten per cent.
What has become of the Charleston and Co.
lumba Plank Road project? Can any Of
our readers inform US? Several months since
notice was given through the papers that an
opportunity would be afforded to our citizens
to take stock in this useful enterprise, so es-
sential to the wants, and important to the con.
tinued growth of our city Commissioners
were appointed, and We believe the books were
opened, but at an inausplcious time, when large
numbers of our people were absent, and there
was very little money ahoat. We know moth
ing gifts history and progress. The period is
approaching when to renew the experiment of
taking stock will doubtless be attended with
far better success than at first. Will not its
public spirited orginators, avaing themselves
of the successful example of our nei ghbors, put
their shoulders again to the wheel, and with
their large means and influence, press forward
this praiseworthy undertaking to an early COM
petion! We shall be happy to lend our Col.
umns to the advancement of an object SO deep.
y concerning the welfare of Charleston.

ESCAPE oFPRIsoNERs. We regret that we
inadvertently omitted TO mention last week,
the escape from our Jail Of several prisoners
confined there; for we understand that there Is
an exaggerated rnmor as to the number. There
were in fact but three persons, viz:-Brigman
under the sentence ofimprisonment for an ag
gravated assault on female, Nelson Pamell-
and l. Farmer, who were arrested and to be
tried at the present for some petty offences
The escape was ingeniously effected and in such
a manner as implied no want of vigilance on
the part OF the Jailor. There isn't the shad-
ow of doubt, that our indefaligable Sheriff will
have them safely crbbcd again shortly.

COLLECTOR BRoNsoN's REpLY.-The New

Collector Bronson, of New York, in reply to
the recent letter Of Secretary Guthrie to him.
1t places in the very strongest possible light
the Objectionable character of the letter of
Secretary Guthrie, aud vindicates his own ac

claims the ri ght to act in accordance with his
own convictions, in all matters not properly
falling within the supervision of the national adj
mInlstra.Ion. lie tells Secretary Guthrie that
the federal government has no right 10 meddle
with issues involved in State politics, or to

In the Episcopal Convention convened in New

The medium quarto stereotype edition, published
at Oxford, England was recommended as the
standard Bible of the Church of England. AZ

The Buffalo party is everywhere gaining
strength, and the country is thus becoming
prepared to meet the great and pregnant Gu
ban question. The annexation of Cuba as a
free State has already become popular mea-
sure at the North, and no party there will op-
rose it. The question will be brought upon
us in full force, during the term Of the present
Administration. and it is already known that
the Hards aud National Wings will vote with

Eabs ii MI acc6fding 70 present circum.

Great Britain rs about preparing the way for
the emancipation of the slaves in Cuba, and
thus half the work Of the northern people will
be done to their hands. 1t is probable that
even the next Congress will have to face this
question in some form.
1t was stated recently that the admiuistra.

the mission and 60. The name of the cccen-
trio individual was not mentioned, but it is
now ascertained to be Mr.. Robert NJ. McLanc,
of your city. There are many good reasons in
favor of this selection. 1t will be gratifying
to General Cass. 1t has been lately asserted
that Gen. Cass' friends have been neglected by
the administration, and it is highly important
that the ground for this assertion should be
removed; besides, Maryland is entitled to
