Charleston letter writer says EARLY
Spring is coming upon us, and the peach
blossoms throw their fragrance in the
adjoining gardens. Green peas are also
in blossom, and the rich straw berry is
forming its cones, while apples Of ordi

DINA will be back in the Union before
Lincoln has been one year President"
