The MAIL To FLORIDA AND INTERMEDIARY POINTS
Messrs. ARCHIBALD GETTY & Co., OF this city, have
received information from Washington that their
proposition to carry the mail from this port to P-
latka, semi-weekly by steamers, touching at Sa-
yannah, Darien, Brunswick, st. BIarys, Jackson
vile, Mandarin, and Picolata, has been accepted
by tho Postofficc Department, and their first
steamer, the Helen GeHy will leave here on the
10th inst. for the above places. This limo is of
great Importance to the trade of this place, at
present wc are almost without any communication
with the points touched at which before tho war
added quito respectable business to our mcr-
chants trade.
TILE PROSPECTS OF THE CITY.-A dny or two ago
We touched upon the exorbtant rents that are
now demanded by householders, and at tho same
time VIC mentioned the great scarcity of stores, as
well as residences, that at present exists in
Charleston. Since then we havc conversed with
several on the topic who believe, with us, that it
prcsages n largo and heavy business during the
forthcoming winter, which, if correct, will be the
commencement of one of the grandest commercial
that has ever been experienced by any city
in the Union. The for this rise in rents we
presume to be the influx of persons from other por-
tions of the country, who have como among us
with the intention of entering into business per-
manently, and making our homes their homes and
although our people cannot sec where that busi-
ness is to come from, Or what is to make it sus
tain it, "still they come," and with every variety
of goods fill their stores and warehouses Some
OF them have already been cmpticd and rcfilled,
and VIC believe, if there is truth in eyesight, that
many arc undergoing that process every day.
The truth is, that for four years we have been
an inactive and inert people, with so little trade
among us that We have nearly lost that aptitude
which continual work had given us, and that also,
with the great troubles which the war brought
upon us, has destroyed the capacity which we
possessed previously These facts, no doubt,
cause many of us to look with filmy eyes upon the
dark side OF events, which prevents them seeing
any ray of light until almost binding brightness
breaks upon them. On the other hand, they who
have come as new settlers among us have not been
borne down with troubles nor incapacitatcd
through want of business, OF cnervated through
idleness, for trade with them increased and more
activity was created by the breaking out of the
war Their vision bright as ever, their spirits
not depressed at its continuance but elated ct it's
conclusion, they looked about to find some new
spot or spots less populated than their own where
they could pitch their tents as dwellers, and i'm
provo and benefit by their labors. AS people,
their sagacity in matters of business is beyond
that OF any nation of the world, and their advent
among lis presignifcd q commercial prosperity
unsurpassed by any existing before. Time and
Our efforts will develop resources hitherto un-
thought of, which will give ample employment to
all; and we would suggest to those who have not
been fortunate 30 far in obtaining situations, to
keep up stout heart but for little time longer
and their most ardent wishes must be gratifed.

ments made to us, it seems, at one time of the
afternoon, there were serious apprchensions of q
great riot and but for the activity of the officers
and men of the U. S. Police connected with this
department, Ill consequences might have resulted
The thanks OF the citizens are, therefore, due to
them.

A1hLARs PERPUMKRY. - With the multitudnous
business that is always being transacted in an
apothecary's establishment there is generally
some article that receives little more attention
than others. With MIR. AIMAR, Perfumery has al
ways been specially, and we expect he has de-
voted more attention to it than any other man in
the South. We appeal to the large number of In
dies who have patronized him for the truth OF this
and will provo it by the many who will call upon
