business Of the prevalence of yellow fever this
last season, and. possibly SO prostrated in
means and confidence by the smalness of their
Fall trade that they will supply but small
stocks. and attempt but limited efforts for the
Spring season. This is grave mistake, and
calculated to do mud, injury to the interests of
the city and the people. Despite the epidemic.

Charleston merchants are laying in full, varied
and choice stocks OF goods. and are and will be
ready to supply all conlers. and accommodate
them on the most liberal rates and terms

Blue Ridge stockholders in tn is oty. remarks:-
There is good deal o heavy and expensive
work yet to he done by the Blue Ridge Com
pany in crossing the mountains. The remain
ing connections are not difficult, and may be
speedily completed whenever tins part of the
line becomes certain of accomplishment. Cars
are already running, We believe. nearly or
quite to Clayton. in the narrow angle oe Geor-
gia, crossed by this route. and near tho line Of
North Carolina, corner of which S tate. also,
the Blue Ridge Rond traverses. On this side
OF the mountains il would be comparatively
easy to construct direct line, as has been pro.
posed, from e ither Paris or Lexington to meet
the arm thus extended towards us from Char
lesion.
AS to the probability of an early construc.
tion of such road We are not disposed to spec.
ulate. Certain il is that our business men
uould do we'll to consider the expediency of
effecting this connection by direct line, in.
stead of allowing the great thoroughfare be.

to the Southwest, in the direction Of tho conau.

way OF Chattanooga and Nashville. The course
this central enterp ise shall take can now be
controlled. 1t is question that can hardly
be more interesting to Charleston than to Gin.

The Rail Road to Washtneton.

Our citizens are becoming alive to the i'm
portance Of establishing railroad connection
with Washington. Ca, and it is suggested that
public meeting be held in tho Village on
next Snleday, to adopt measures for setting
the ball in motion.-Charters have already
been obtained from the Legislatures. of South
Carolina and Georgia. and we have no doubt
that the necessary capital could be very easily
raised. The distance is only 40 miles. Geor.

eight schools were located. this being n larger
number than is usual for the January session

For this year. the number of poor scholars
allowed to each school is only three. The
Board has been driven to this course bv the
increased number of ofschools, and the scantness
of the appropriation for this purpose.
The pay of teachers will be as follows:
First class, four cents per day ; second class
three cents and LII ird class two cents.
