We arc having warm weather with large interest
The Injunction, "keep COOL" is hard one to obey,
and vet it is by far the easiest way to get along these
warm times for at best there is not much good sense
displayed in getting excited and particularly when the
thermometer is getting up among the nieties Charles
ton would be intoerable in summertime, if it was not
for the delightful sea breezes which evening and NOR
ming spring up and invgorate the depressed and bur-
dened system.
There are many inconvenience and depriVatlons nero
to which is difficult for upcountryman to get ac-
customed not the least Of which is the deficiency OF
VIII bolesome water when the weather is dry and the
the cisterns fail Still there are many pleasant things
about Charleston. There is the delightful battery,
neect treasure to the city, and for which we ae sure
our pent up inhabitants must be profoundly grateful
It is quite sight to ride around it of an afternoon and
see tho different parties there congregated-some
walking and others riding in all kinds of ways from
bread cart up to magnificent COACH and all seem to
enjoy and enter into the life aid spirit OF tho thing
with joy and avidity.
We have also splendid plank road drives up to
MAGNOLIA Cemetery and even for several miles beyond
These rides are unsurpassed by anything which we
have ever seen. Afer leaving the city-we mean the
IRREGULAR built city, we to succession OF farms
which, at this season Of the year. particularly beau
ul, and which afford abundans supplies OF the very
best kinds of vegetables for market There
the Island to which large number OF our citizens re-
sort in SUMNER to escape the noise and confusion OF
the city, The boats run over 10 Mount Pleasant,
which is also delightful summer resort. These are
outlets to the city, and afford respiration to thousands
who pp:eciate and enjoy them.
Our city papers particularly scarce OF news just
now, and we can mention nothing at present except
that a new competitor has entered the field claiming
the authorship of the Pacific Railroad project This
is our former able and worthy Representative in Con-
gress Hon. J. A. Woodward, who has written 10 MIR.
Pike upon the subject whose note, with another from
Capt P is published in the Courier of this morning
We suppose these gentlemen do not care to lose their
reward, although Mr.. Pixies conduct IS quite modest
and in good taste We think it is of little consequence
who first conceived the dea-the question Is, who
will 20 to work in the enterprise? We propose Mr..
Pike for tile first President Of the Pacific Railroad
Company. We know of no man whose diversified
talents aud knowledge Of things generally, would suit
such station better.
The Cotton Market is dull enough and prices, al
though little better than short time ago, are moth
ing to brag about We have no suggestions to make
upon this subject, for Cotton. like all signs, is very un
certain, and not to be depended upon
Our citizens are beginning to leave for summer quar-
ters-some going one way and some another, and the
city is beginning to look very dull.
In a few days, your humble servant expects to re-
turn and be at his post for short time. Until which
time we must close.
