ue, it is in fact equal to half the Kingdoms of
Europe put together and by the nature and
force of circumstances is obliged to seek the
outlet for its trade through the State Of South
Carolina, and the port of Charleston, unless
the channels of communication are allowed to
remain closed, or it is counteracted by the
want Of the necessary facilities for conducting
it.
The third or North Carolina connection, by
way of Charlotte, extends with the Central
Railroad through the State Of North Carolina
to Raleigh, and covers in its area country of
great extent and value the resources of which
are as yet but impellectly developed, but which
before long is destined to furnish large supplies
of breadstufs to the State, and large excess
of trade to the Seaboard. To what further ex.
tent the connections from or beyond that State
may be carried is matter of uncertain legis-
lation in that State.
From this imperfect outline of the Railroads
and rail connections OF South Carolina, it will
be readily seen what is within our grasp. II
We do not stretch 70, tn our hands, and with all
promptitude and energy, and seize the rich
prize that's within our reach it is not because ma.
ture has not been liberal and benifcent to us,
but because we have been unjust to ourselves.

PuzzL1Eo DocroR.- Dr.. NJ, an army sur
geon, was very fond of a joke, Gfnot perpetra.

scholarship.

to the doctor, who had been very severe in his
remarks on the literary deficiency of some of

"Yes, know him vel" replied the Doctor;
''he is one of the new SET But what Of him ?"
Nothing in PARTICULAR returned Captain S.,

"Well," said the Doctor with much petulence
Of manner, chow does he spell ita"
"Why, he spells it C, a, t." replied s., with
the utmost gravity, amid the roars of the mess.
Almost choking with rage the Doctor sprang
to his feet, excaiming:
