OuR RAlLKoAu--Well, the long looked 70,
event has at length transpired-the cars on
the Cheraw and Darlington Railroad having
reached tho Cheraw Depot, hom whence thu
whistle, or rather buge's blast may be heard
by every citizen of the town
We have no time to speculate upon the ten
thousand benefits which the construction u
this important road will confer upon the town
and surrounding country. These are already
showing thcmsel>s in the increase oflravrl, anC
the despatch Of the products of our soil. An
event like this, We think, deserves some public
demonstration for its commemoration. We
know not the exact age Of the world, but nc
such event ever occurred before and perhaps
will not soon agaili.- Cheraw Gazette.

A Rich SCENE Yesterday Constable Miller
went with a search warrant to look for some
stolen goods. After some examination they
were found in the possession of bouncing
servant gill. The property consisted principal
" Of articles of dress among which was fine
worked collar. This the officer endeavored
to get in his hands, but the girl put it in her
mouth and 'shut down on it." The constable
determined not to be foiIed in that way run
his finger in the girls mouth in order to pull
out the collar when she opened, and taking his
finger between her teeth, crushed it almost to
Jelly. The officer not liking that trap, ERIK
cd out his finger, and the giIl swallowed the
collar. This ended the search, as Mr. Miller con.
cuded the collar was then beyond his jurisdic-
ton. Healthy girl that and fond of telicacics.

The SOUND DUEs.-The Journal of Commerce
on this subject furnishes an explanation OF
what Denark means by the capitalization OF
the Sound Dues. 1t appears that the annual
average receipts of Sound Dues ofmerchandizc
exclusive Of Legitimate taxes amount to l03
500 rix dollars which capitalized at 5 per cent
or twenty years purchase, would produce 40
O700O0 rix dollars or a little less than $50
600, 1000, United States currency. OF this sum
Russia IS expected to pay % per cent. or So
100000 Great Britain, the same amount;
Prussia IL per cent or So O,0OO; France, 3
per cent or 100000; Norway. per cent. or
100000; Hamburg and Bremen about $3.50
O00 TIN, United States about $3.50, 900, &c.
The amount which would have to be paid by
the United States is very nearly the same as
was actually offered by this Government some
time ago, as gross payment to Denmark, if
American vessels might henceforth be permit
ted to pass into the Baltic free from toll. But
the Court of Copenhagen replied to the effect
stated in the present circular that such all ar
rangcment could not be carried out without
the simultaneous concurrence of all the respec.
tive Powers The formal and positive engage
mcnts which exist between Denmark and the
other Powers with regard to the Sound Dues,
do not allow Of any special arrangements on
that subject between Denmark and any other
Power" The proposal now made is probably
intended to meet the wishes of the United
States at the same time that it invites the other
Powers To join in an arrangement which it
may conceive to be virtually the same as was
once proposed by our Government.

The Hon. w. Elliot, Commissioner from this
State at the Worlds Fair in Paris has returned
to this city The Paris american OF the 9th
ult, says:
MIR. Elliot as President of an Agricultural
Society and rs practical planter, has been well
qualified to represent the Leading interest of
his State, and his cxertiors to bring the staple
articles of South Carolina to the notice OF the
! Imperial Commission, the International Jury
aud the public, deserves high commendation.
'.Mr Elliot, tivorably known in Carolina as
contributor to the Southern Review rs the
author of "Caroliua Sports and of various
pamphlets on agricultural, political and eco
nomical subjects, has further added to his repn-
tatou by his Address delivered in French
before the Imperial and Central Agricultural
Society of France, in which, after describing
the processes ofthe cultivation and preparation
| of Cotton, lie points out with great cIearneSs
and force the immense advantages which Europe
derives from the manufacture and use Of this
great American staple, and the importance
which the Southern group of stars hold III the
constellation of the United States. The facts
which he brought forward in this address were
highly appreciated by the members of that
disting gushed Lody and a medal has been
unanimously voted to him.
"a perfect knowledge of tie French Ian
g,nge, pleasing and easy manners, enabled Mr.
Elliot to frequent all circles Of society; he was
able to urge the claims of his fellow citizens.
and to collect valuable information for his
country.
MIR. Elliot filed the honorable situation con.
ferred upon him with great credit, and his
colleagues may be justly proud of the manner
in which South Carolina has been represented.
We wish him a pleasant journey across the
Great Ocean, and safe arrival among his
friends; may he never ferget the hours spent
among his colleagues during the troubles of
exciting times of the second Worlds Fair of

10 tho memory Of a beloved Uncle, Deacon CAas.
Whitttessy, Of Ee0 Preston, Connections.
BY o. O. W. sa
He has passed far away 60 that shadowless shore,
And the green grass is springing above his cold
All, We know We shall gaze on those features no
more,
Till We meet him above in the mansions Of rest.
From the trials Of earth, and vicissitudes free,
Ger this desert of life, now no longer he'll roam
Yes, the sailor has gone from the storm-beaten
sea-
And has landed all peaceful, and happy al home.
And soldier has gone from the rude shock of
wars,
Where all firm, and unHinchng he zealously fought,
With the marks of the siege, and the glorious
scars,
Which infexible yalor, and virtue had bought
As he journeys along the lone pathway Of years
How gentle his spirit how loving how kind
What man, what model of goodness appears,
In the husband the brother, the father, the friend
He is gone: and the tear-drops from many eyes
start,
And sorrow its frightening shadows have cast
He is gone--and the signs sweep thro' many a
heart, rl
For the bloom that has faded, the beam that has
passed.
