CHARLESTON yg&ErApbE MARKET.
We copy the following from the Char
lesion Courier:
"Negntubles of all kinds arc unusually
abundant, and have ripcncd much earlier
this Spring than is common. Strawberries
nd>b >blackberrica are to be had in consid-
cradle qumtitics, though ut prices that
give them very silycry taste. In the
vegetable line, we notice green peas in
abundance, new potatoes, snap beans, ear
ly cabbage, mdishes, salad, etc., nearly all
of which have been on sale for long pc
riod and are now to be had at moderate
rates, There have bccn shipped to Nortfr-
ern cities large quantities of vegetables by
every departure of the different steamships
which has had tendency to keep up, phi
ces here. The Marion, Tor New York, on
Wednesday, took one hupdrcd and fifty
barrels of vegetables, aud the keystone
State, for Philadelphia, had on board fif-
teen barrels of peas and three burrcls Of
potatoes. BY this means, the gardeners
arc enabled to get rid Of their surplus stock
and that, too, at prices which make truck
ing we should think, a very profitable bus
mess"

passing pancgryic upon the dead chief
aud saying
