CHARLESTON, July

CHARLESTON, July ~.
have the pleasure of announcing myself sat
home'' again, and armed md equipped with that
"migbty instrument Of little men" and prepared
to issue my ukase, and give you another bugle
blast from head. quarters. I have lately added ON
atom to the "circulsting medium" Of humanity,
though I did not operate altogether upon q 'spe.
Gle basis" The main object Of my recent migra-
rory excursions into the interior was to ascertain
from ocular demonstration whether there was any
territory in South Carolina beyond the city boun.
diaries where an industrious, sensible, civilized
man could live, move and have his being, and
supply all the necessaries and some Of the Injuries
of nature by the sweat of his brow, and my travels
have convinced me of this geographical fact that
Charleston is in the State Of South Carolina, and
not the State of South Carolina in Charleston.
My route carried me through portions of the
districts of Darlington, Chesterfield and Marlboro,
where I saw some as beautiful country, fine lands
and promising crops as the heart Of man could
wish. The sight of the shady groves, waving
fields and limpid streams was refreshing indeed,
and brought back to my mind the long cherished
remembrance Of my own 'mountain home" where
genial climes, generous hearts and social joys
made q rural paradise that the hollow-hearted
devotees of city etiquette and city fashions can
never know.
The weather continues excessively warm, and
the gay birds of passage are docking in crowds to
the fashionable watering places ut the North
There were over four hundred persons left in the
three steamers for New York and Philadelphia
which sailed on Saturday last, and the rush is 30
great that large numbers have engaged their pas
sage for the next trip. This drain upon our popu-
Iation is somewhat alarming when it is remember
ed that almost as many 60 BY railroad as by the
steamers. And the amount Of money they will
leave north of Mason and Dixon's Line is still
more alarming to Southern pockets. But this is
d free country where free trade and sailors rights
are recognized, and no one can dispute the right
of the people to spend their money when and
where they please.
What is generally termed the sickly season, is
now near at hand, but the city is exceedingly
healthy, as the weekly bills of mortality will
show. There is perhaps no city on the Atlantic
coast that CON boast an equal exemption from dis
eases of oil kinds, especially those more fatal to
human life. We find deaths from old age record.
ed in almost every bill Of mortality.
The Court of Common Please adjourned on Sat-
urday last after q protracted and laborious ses-
sion of more than two months. Cases had been
accommodating on the docket for years, being post
poned from Court to Court, but through the assidu-
ity and untiring industry of Judge WARDLAw, all
the old scores are very nearly wiped out, and the
books cleared of the legal rubbish which has so
long encountered them. In consideration of his
laborious services and courteous and gentlemanly
bearing through all the scenes aid difficulties
which try the temper and patience, the gentlemen
of the Charleston Bar rendered him q compliment
tary dinner, which the pressing demands upon
his time compelled him to decline.
Our market is crowded with fruit Of all kinds,
which is being sold ut accommodating prices
The steamer Columbia took out over two thou
sand boxes of peaches, which are being sold in the
New York market at prices ranging from four to
nine dollars q box. Col. GREGG and RICHARD
YEADoN, ESQ.,, are coming money out of tue pro-
ducts of their fine orchards near Aiken. This is
perhaps as fine a fruit season throughout the State
as has been known for many years.
1t is said that two splendid new steamers will
soon be added to CRoMwELL's propeller line be-
tween this city and New York, thus enabling them
to make two trips q week. am glad to see this,
as competition is the life of travel as well as Of
trade. Their influence has already brought down
the price of freight and fare to something like
reasonable rates. The sidewheel line had the mon.
opoly for n long time, but they have ut last walked
up q competitor that is in every way worthy OF
their most %solicitous regard and attention. The
fare on the propellers is fifteen dollars, while that
of the side wheels is twenty, late twenty five.
The Hops at the Moultrie House are oil the
rage just now, and are extensively patronized by
the fashionable and elite of the ''home delegation"
who would rather spend their time and money
among their friends at home than their enemies at
the North. I am glad to SEQ that this pleasant and
fashionable sea side resort, is likely to be more
extensively patronized this season than formerly,
and that mostly By our own people. The House
is kept in o style equal to any at the North, and
