that we have not been. md ore not conscious
of being swallowed up' BY the great City of
Augusta, ms the startling and astounding de-
caration of prophesy was hcralded to us
through the worthy Editor of the EdgcfieId
advertiser. The Editor has been very generous
in taxing his sagacity to convince "the people
on the Savannah side of the State" of their
"superor advantages over the balance of the
State. in having augusta for a market" The
people on the Savannah side of the State, no
doubt, would have been able to have deter
mined for themselves which of the two mar
kets-Augusta or Hamburg-was the best,
without the intervention of the Editer for

very little of what the trade Of Hamburg is +;

We might be permitted here to congratulate
the city of Augusta at least in having such An
able advocate to puff her. We would have
felt like rolling up our sleeves, if our town had
not been associated with Newberry, Columbia,
Winnsboro, and even Charleston, in comparison
with Augusta as interiors when We see
that, 1t makes our dose more palatable. Well
the fact is, the Editor may urge as on excuse,
that Augusta Adveytisss more extensively than
Hamburg, and the balance named, put together,
and business is business, "Hho helps me III
help them"
We will state for the information of the Ed
ior (the planter knows) that Hamburg will
nett tho planter more from the sale of his cot

will; and unfortunately for the town, it always
has been the case. We hope that the Editor
