SIDE-WALKs.-With another season our City
authorities should take measures looking to a
permanent system Of street improve nents. The
level character Of the town plat is such that We
are spared the expense of grading, and hence
we can we'll afford to expend portion of our
means in works Of general utility and improve
ment. The permanent character of our town
based upon agricultural and other resources
that can never be eIhausted-is such as to en-
courage us in making improvements of the most
durable character, and such a. would not be
warranted in town depending on mining ex-
citements alone for existence. Following out
this idea, an ordinance should be passed requir-
ing property holders to place side walks in front
of their respective premises. These walks should
be uniform both in width and grade, and with
crossings placed at convenient intervals would
be about all that We require in the wAy Of street
improvements. With a system Of thi, kind in
fsrce, AAin street Weuld lose its present nj gag,
up-snd-dSWh appearance, and strangers could
pass GlSng our principal thoroughfars even at
night time without being compelled to pick
their way. A matter Of this kind may seem un-
important, but it is improvements Of this char
scter that 6I the attention Of visitors from
abroad and serve to give . good or bad impress
sion of our enterprise and public spirit Towns,
like individuals, can never afford To disregard
appearances, and on this score slone-to say
nothing of conTenisnce-money expended in the
improvement of streets is well invested.

tbs o. S. N. CoNPANY.-A correspondent Of
the Eugene Journal, writing from Walla Walla,
pays the following tribute to the enterprise and
perseverance of this Company:
The most manifest Improvement one that is
really worth mentioning, is in the means of COM
munication with the " outer world" Pussen-
gers and freight the mails and express, are now
transmitted each way With the utmost regularity
and dispatch, aud it is but just to add that this
is owing for the most part to the completeness,
the almost cock-werk system with which the
carrying business is managed by the o. S. n.
Co.; for with all the odium that is invariably at
tached to g "soulless monopoly" this Company
is really one of which every Oregonian may
" ell be proud. Your readers are doubtless all
familiar with the routes occupied by the Com
pany, aud their means Of communication both
by steamboat and railroad, and their fine wharves
warehouses and the like permanently distributed
along the route if not, let them read the enter
tanning letter of Ar. Bowles to the Springfield
Republican, lately published but no one after
all can, until they pass over the route fully
comprehend the fullness Of details, or the adap-
tatOp and almost mathematical exactness OF the
several parts which are so essential to the COM
plete working of the whole system. In many
respects this Company, which is wholly Oregon
born, contrasts most fav0rSbly with the G. s. n.
Co., the P. NJ. S. Co., and indeed any of the
great carrying monopolies Of the world and first
should be mentioned that during the many years
1t has been In operation, il has been singularlv
free from serious accident, either to person or
property. While the c. S. N. Co. has several of
its finest vessels either " in chancery" or groan-
ing under the crush of bonds, growing out of
alleged violation of the revenue and neutrality
laws, believe no charge of this kind lays at
the door Of our Oregon Company. The Com
pany is undoubtedly making money, and max
ing IL somewhat exorbitantly out of the hard
earnings Of the people, but there is this consol-
ing thought that thus far at least their vast earn
ings have been mostly If not wholly expended
in permanent and attractive Improvements along
the line, and in developing new routes of travel

Important News for tho Scu Island
Planters.


JULIAN MITCHELL, Esq, Of tt:is city, left here
some time since, on an important mission to
Washington City, i'll reference to tho recovery
and speedy restoration to tho ownors of tho
valuable lands OH our Sea Islands. These lands,
comprising the finest Sea Island Cotton soil in
the world, has been, rs most of our readers
know, in possession Of the Freedmen's Bureau,
and it was for the purpose of getting them out
of that institution, and to enable tho owners to
get possession of their property and so to
work, that induced Mr.. MITCHELL. to undertake
the task. VIM. WHALEY, Esq, law partner OF
MIR. MITCHELL, yesterday received advices that
the efforts for restoring the property had been
completely successful and that after repeated
and anxious interviews with the President and
Secretary Of War, Mr.. MITCHELL had succeeded
i'll procuring n general order for the rcstora-
hon Of tho lands to tho respective owners.
In pursuance of these orders, Gen. HOWARD
will shortly visit Charleston, to make formal
surrender Of them.

The Speech of John Van Burcn.

The speech OF JOHN VAN BUREN, before the De-
mocracy, at Albany, New York, is q most impor-
tant act III tho political drama. 1t is a direct and
enthusiastic appeal to tho popular in favor Of
the reconstruction policy Of the President This
appeal seems to have been responded to with the
utmost fcrTor, and new era i'll political action
would seem to have been inaugurated. Politicians
are no longer content to approve that policy; no
longer willing merely to admit, with reluctance
and constraint, the restoration Of fraternal rea-
tions with the States lately SO discovered; but
they now seem disposed to spring to them with
demonstrations Of JOY and gladncss, and this, the
first great fact i'll exhibition of the policy, is of
great Importance. Our space will not permit the
republication of the speech; but, in the course of
it, he took occasion to show the power possessed
by tho President, notwithstanding the control Of
Congress by the opposition, to sustain his policy,
and, TO that end, suggested the appointment of
our cstimablc and distinguished fclow-townsman,
Gov. AIKEN, to the place Of Secretary STANTON in
the War Department. That course of policy seems
never to have been thought Of before; but it
seizes at once upon attention, and, in aluson to
it, the New York World remarks
"His speech at Albany WAS in his best vein. The
things in it which seem most like mere pungent
hits, or bold oratorical coup, will be found on
examination to contain more sense and logic than
could easily have been conveyed with 30 much
effect in the dry forms Of reasoning. Take, for
illustration his suggestion that President John
son will remodel his cabinet by making MIR. Aiken,
Mr. Stanton, whose anxiety to retire for the bene-
ht OF his health will be graciousy induged. There
is great deal more in this than an intrepid and
amusing am freak Of political fancy 1t is clear, on
party would, applaud such a change and that it
would be gall and wormwood to tho Republicans" "

Our Railroads,

The public have, no doubt, learned with much
satisfaction that the South Carolina Railroad will
be open to Hopkins this day-a point which is
some twelve miles this side Of Columbia.
We had hoped that ere this tho cars would have
been travelling throughto the Capital of the State;
but, in these unsettled times, when everything has
to be done under great disadvantages. we must be
thankful for what has been performed.
At Hopkins the difficulty of communicating will,
tho interior Of the State will be vastly less than at
rangeburg-indeed, the amount of travel to be
done to reach either Winnsboro, the terminus of
tho Charlotte Railroad or Alston that Of the
Greenville Road, will be hardly over half The
quantity of work still to be done to open our COM
munications is considerable, but with anything
like suitable facilities it could soon be overcome
Tho present break in the railroad is from Hop
kins' to Winnsboro', distance Of about 81 miles,
and the same to reach tho Greenville Road. The
most important section, however, is the Augusta
branch-say from Branchvillo to Johnsons Turn
OUT about 40 miles long-which is badly broken
up. When these connections are made, which
will require the rebuilding of about 100 miles OF
railroad, and the santee bridge on tho Northeast
ern Road repaired, our railroad connections In this
State will be complete.
This breaking up of our ordinary travelling facili
ties has been of immense disadvantage and loss to
both city and country and we have heard Of parties
who, having gono North, and who lived near All
ken, 8. c., who preferred to go home uid Nash
vile than to come to this city and to undergo the
unpleasantness Of travelling some forty miles by
wagon Charleston has been peculiarly unfor-
tunate, for when her railroads were DESTROYED,
nearly all communication with the interior was
stopped; but Now Orleans has tho Mississippi.
Mobile the noble streams Of Alabama and her
great Mobile and Ohio Railroad which is already
in operation throughout its EXTENT Savannah has

Wilmington and Morehead City were repaired by
General SHERMAN; 80 that all Of them have the

NEW AND FORMIDABLE FLEET OF WAR VKssEIs.-
The termination OF the rebellion found our Coy
