Work upon the Capitol at Columbia

In connection with the account Of i'm.
provements in Columbia, we should also
add such information 40 we have been
able to procure from friend on visit to
our city, in reference to the progress Of
the work Oh tho new State Capitol. The
masohry has been raised about six feet
above the natural level Of tho earth. The
foundation is now about complete, and
there is a hope that the basement story
may be ready for tho meeting Of the Leg
islature. 3l5 hands arc ex ployoJ, aud
one thousand pcrcbes Of stone per month
are quarried four quarres are open, though
the principal is at Cranky ferry. The
granite here is good, comparing favorably
with any TO be found in the country, but
the work is liable to be interrupted by
freshets. The rock at the other quarries
is harder to cut, and splits badly. II i,
hauled by wagons drawn by mules. A
wagon with six mules costing SO per day
when actually employed, and nothing
when it is not; a four mule team costs IS
per day; three full loads per day are requi
cd, each load for n six mule team being
two perchcs or 5000 pounds.
The monthly expenditure is $4,000
and in this matter Of funds much difficult
ty has been experienced. An appropria.
ton OF s25o,o00 was made to this work
to be raised by bonds Of tho State draw.
ing 6 per cent interest, and not to be sold
under par. Some Of the bonds were dis
posed Of, but 100000 are still on hand;
they will not sell at par, and tho fund has
to be raised upon the credit Of the present
commission. 1t is to be hoped, however,
that the greater ease in the money mar.
ket will let them off.
The costs Of stone may be Of interest to
our readers, and rs near rs we can hear
they are rs follows:

Mysteries Of the Post Office Depart
ment

John G. Rives is responsible for the fol-
lowing: lie said that when Amos Ken.
dali was Post Master General, lie took a
tour to the South and west. partly to getlhe
film Oft Of his official optics, aud see how
rosta! matters were conducted. Ofcourse
he did not make himself known on every
occasion, but he always looked OH st eve
ry turn in his post route, and sometimes
he learned something. At one place in
Mississippi he stopped, while travelling in
the stage.coach, at rather insignificant
village, bu. where there was " distrib
uting office" Of some Importance. No
one knew that he WAS the Postmaster
General. The Postmaster of the place
was away from home, rs lie had been for
some months, and the business Of over.
hauling, sorting and distributing Uncle
Sans mails was in the hands Of sub"
in the shape Of II negro woman. The
post office was kept in pretty good sized
room, and on one side of it there was a
Heterogeneous mass that appeared some
thing like huge pile Of mail matter; and
1t looked, too, somewhat like small tea
garden. There were papers, letters, large
End small packages of books, &c, ain
huge confusion piled around" The o!d
black woman very deliberately unlocked
the bags and emptied their contents out
on the foor
Amos looked on, and like Satan mar.
shalling his lcgions in Pandemonium he
admired" The da,key, after emptying
the contents Of the bags in the "pile," ,"
commenced putting back, and in every
pouch replaced a miscellaneous assort-
ment." The Postmaster General had his
eyes opened "some" and it occurred to
him to ask "Auuty if she could read"
"Oh no." said she ; but puts bacl;
jest about as much as master used to ~
AS the critic said of Macready, when he
! asked the Danish courter 10 play on the
pipe, and the courtier took him at his
word, and played Yankee Doodle =
Phancy IIamlicks feelings" Fancy old
Amos! But his observations were no,
completed. There was IN enormous pile

OUTRAGEOUS TREATMENT OF A BRIDE.

"a young lady who was making prep
arations to be married on Wednesday eve
ming made some purchases or the after
noon Of that day at store in this city,
Upon leaving the store she rolled up the
several articles which she had bought in
one bundle, and, in the nervous haste
which may naturally be attributed to one
about to enter the bonds of wcdlock, car.
risd of in her package two cheap fans
which she had not bought.
"When she reached home she discov-
cred the mistake, and Immediately return
ed to the store and gave the fans to the
owner. He instead Of thanking the young
lady for her honesty in so small matter,
Uor the fans were not worth twenty five
cents caused her to be arrested. Shar-
ing the fate Of many reil criminals, she
was placed in a cell Of the 'Tombs' beneath
the Court House. The father Of the girl.
in company with her intended husband
hunted up Judge Russell Of the police
court with the intention Of restoring her to
liberty on bail. Unfortunately, the Judge
had no power to bail any person out u
the Tombs,' and the young lady was
obliged to stay in the unhealthy and re-
pulsiye dungeon tili morning. She was
then brought before the court, but no one
appeared against her, and she was set at
Liberty. Believing that further great
harhships might result under similar cir.

Talk on 'Change-Sugar.

The position Of the sugar interests of this State
occupy q large share of the attention of those who
consider themselves involved or interested in the
general welfare Of our State. Those who come to-
day las it were) and go tomorrow take no essential
interest in sugar. 1t is very immateral to them
whether the crop proves 900 or 100000 hbds,
excepting, perhaps, some few individuals who have
heretofore made purchases in this market. From all
accounts before us, it is very doubtful whether the
crop this season will exceed 100000 hhds ; at the
same time we have figures before us placing the cx-
tentat $4,000 hhds This is the lowest estimate with
which we have yet been furnished
