A DEGRADED SoLDIER-In passing the corner OF
Broad and Blceting-streets, yesterday, we saw a
fine locking soldier, member of the 47th Penn.
Vol, standing on barrel, as o punishment, we
presume, with placard marked sthief' attached
a. II
man who has faced danger at the cannon's
mouth" should far forget himself as to be liable
to such disgrace, and 80 public degradation. We
hope this example will be 80 salutary rs to pre-
vent a repetition of this peculiar punishment.
NIcKERsoNs HORRIBLY reference to an adver-
tisemcnt in our paper to-day, it will be seen that
this establishment in Columbia is now open. To
pass cncomiums upon the ability of such veteran
in his business Mr.. NIczEnsoN, is certainly not
our province, for his praises are in everybody's
mouth. We congratulate our sister city on the
re-opcning of fine hotel, under the former cour-
teouB and obliging proprietor.
OUR RAILROAD TRANsPoETATroS.-Th great poy-
erty Of our people is evidenced by the tardiness
with which our railroads being repaired.
Presidents and directors are persistent in Gevel-
oping such resources as they can command; but
funds scarce, and every bar of iron and every
cross-tie has to bo paid for in money At the
present rato OF reconstruction, it will be some
tmo yet the locomotive will range over it's for
mer extended routes. In the mean time travel
goes on-tho primitive times of May and June, in
back k-brcaking, sideaching wagons are passed, and
We now ride on springs, in comparative comfort
But q new business has also been developed out
of the necessities of the times. Every village in
the up-country mas its cnterprising store
keepcrs-stocks Of goods are permeating to every
district, and tho work of transporting merchan-
disc to all these distant points, and the hauling of
cotton to the hcadsof our railroads, has developed
a wagon business which brings to mind those
long-a-go times when railroads were not, end
when tho sharp crack Of the whip, and the merry
gingle of bells, told of prosperity on the old
Charleston business mart, which centered around
the 'Bulls Head Tavcrn," on King-street Road,
long kept in great comfort by our now venerable
townsman, T. W. JOHNSON.
But our intention was to speak of the facility
with which our country friends now dispatch their
cotton to Charleston and receive in exchange their
assorted stocks of merchandise FOR the local trade
The business of transportation having been sya-
tematized, nothing is easier than to sell the cot
ton and deliver it in Charleston, buy 4 stock OF
goods here, and have them transported to any
part Of the interior. In the matter of forwarding,
we diroct attention to the card Of Mr. WIZ. A.
CoURTESAY, at Newberry Depot. Information in
regard to up freights can be had on application to
MI. H. b. OLNEY No. II Venduc Range.
