Rsturn Tickets, G. &C.R. B.

We learn that the President of this road has
determined, in his desire to Accommodate the
travelling pablo, to resume the old plan OF re
turn tickets, good foFone day. GThe regular rate
at present is eight cents per mile, the return
ticket will be only ten cents, or 6ve cents each
way, lessening 1t almost one halt.
in this connection, we are happy to state that
thS distance Of break on this road is being rapid
" and surely lessened. Ina very shoF: time, We
will be able to give the gratifying intelligence
that thesrirer will be the ouly point of discon-
Hertion, and then, we'll We will go through in
about half the time, half the expense, and with
more than double the amount of satisfaction now
exper7eacea. Bear patiently then with the
present arrangement, or more 6tly speaking de-
rangement, for it will soon be all ''settiug up'
right and tight. None but those behiud the
scenes know OF the thousand difficulties that the
company have to contend against, and how siren
uo1s the exertions to overcome them, to give the
public the old time accommodation of uninter-
rupted trave and moderate fare.

p How TO MAKE MUTToN.-A lot Of CotesWold
sheep having been seen in New York, that would
weigh from 800 to 400 pounds, the proprietor "a
.Canadian} was asked his method tor iattening
sheep, and replied: -.
Sin the first place, l secure a good breed,
that is the most important point. The next
thing is to keep them growing from the time tiey
are weaned till they are takenzto the slangater'
house, never allowing them to grow zoor at any
season of the year. / have fed them all the hay'

than Indian corn for mutton. Oats furnish

''Do you feed anr roots and straw"
"Yes, each sheep gets not less than one or two
pounds Of turnips daily, with all the straw to eat

A good story is told Of telegraph clerk to
whom commissionaire delivered written
message he had been desired to dispatch On
reading it the clerk stared and inquired by
whom the message was sent, to which the
messenger replied, "a gentleman living in the
Rue Ia Fontaine." The clerk requested the
man to step into his Office and take a seat.
Meanwhile policeman was summoned and the
message shown to him. Itran thus ~ have

mode of killing Faure," signed Merry. The
agent started for M. Mery's residence; he was
in bed, but was in the act of announcing to
his collaboration, NJ. Dulvile, with whom ne is
writing Don Carlos, for which Verdi is COM
posing the music, that he had thought OF an, .
Rosa (which part was to be acted by Faure),
than by pistol shot as in Schiller's tragedy,
and had telegraphed to that effect to him.

goI For Mexico.

lNr. HeyuEd:-Tbe letter of Capt. Maury, pub
NShed, in your last issue, hasbeen read with much
Interest By some of your patrons. There are q
great many of our citizens who, by the results of
the war, have suffered in property to such an cx-
tent that they desire to leave the country for
some .aore congenial cline; and there are mary
who for other reasons entertaia the same feeling.
But the yexed question has been,-where are
they to go? If you believe him, Capt, Masry
bas answered the question. Cheap and rich
lands t'sEondetfull productivity climate SINH
lar TO our own, only better, and the same pro-
ducts of the son. With others much more profit
able in the markets of the world-these are
some of the inducements offered to the emgrant.
As to the labes question think that it will soon
be demonstrated that this country has no advau-
tage of that. The nangrel race Mexico is as good
and industrious as the unadulterated African with
his s'blessed freedom" and the Indian much more
honest, if Capt. Maury is to be believed.
I do not intend to discuss the question OF poll
tics-the pcrmanence Of the Empire under Maxi
milan, nor that of the great American Demo
1erscv under the Radicals. Your readers are well
informed as to the difference between treedlO'
dam, and tcssdIs-dke.
But to the point who will join this move
meptG will; but we must begin right. Let
company of fifty or one hundred families and
individuals be formed, who will Immediately send
an agent to Mexico to get all the information we
want about the country, and to select a location.
This xiILrequire money. propose therefore a
meeting on sale day in April next, for this pur
>rase, al a place to be made known By calling at
tb4 Herald Office. f we. can't get to Mexico
perhaps we can get TO place from which We Cat
look 'sto'ther side ofJordan."

Low PRICE OF CorToN.-One good effect oftle
late rapid decline in the price Of eottonis appa-
rent, says the Columbus Enquirer. Some pan's
ers are not so much in the notion Of making 6'g
crops of cotton this year, but are again consider
ing whether they had not better m Ike bread and
meat enough, and give the surplus ottheir Panta-
tions to the culture of cotton. We make the
following extract Of business letter from Web
ster County, Georgia "0ur farming interest IS
moving quietly, though at much more moderate
pace than under the old system. Some OF our
best farmers are entirely destitute of laborers,
other only partially supplied, and scarcely any
above their .ormer average Farmers are a5an-
dopine their previous notions Of large crops of
cotton, and think it prudent to make good grain
crop-to raise meat and corn for their own con-
sumption" - ..-.. .-L - -

MEXICO TO BE THE New IRISH REpUBLIc.-lt
was stated in the New York Citizen, few weeks
since, that shortly the Irish would have repub-
lie of their own. Thesother night an orator at
one ofthe many Fenian Circles in New York said
that the paper in question referred TO Mexico ;
that Louis Napoleon vas about to- withdraw his
troops, not through fear of this Government, but
to make room for the legions of the l.. B.; that
MaximiIian had agreed to abdicate on condition
Of being proclaimed President ofthe new repub-
lie. and that so soon as the republic had been
spfoeIaimed letters of marque, woald be issued
against British shipping. All this the orator
said and more. Whatever truth there may be
in it. it is certain that the members Of the F. B.

Rail Road Charges.

To Editors of the Courier I'm your issue of
21st, Moderation" propounds some questions
and advances some statements, TO which l pro-
pose brief reply on a few of the points en-
braced in his article. First, as to the cost Of
getting barrel of -four to Greenvle. His state
ment is that it costs s9.f0. find upon inquiry
and reference to the Freight Tariff Of the South
Carolina and Greenyile and Columbia Rail Road
the cost to be thus: 49,.
Drayage in Charleston [5 barrel to load). OILS
Freight, South Carolina Rail R. ad to Co.
iumbla W .
Drayage in Columbia ..O.lo
FREIGHT. Columbia and Greenvic, including
hauling round break on g. & U. K. 4. $3.50
Total coet $3.50
IF one barrel has to pay full drayage in Charles
ton, then the cost is $40.
/ have been informed that the charge for pas
sage on the Greenville and Columbia Rail Road
Vas at the rate Of ten cents per mIle7 ana the
stage fare $500; but that the fare was to be,
and think is now, reduced to eight cents per
mile.
When we take into consideration the increased
cost of an articles needed md used By rail roads,
in repair Of track, motive and car power, etc.,
some or most of which are increased one t. two
hundred per cent, over their cost before the war
do not think that an increase ID the rates OF
fare and freight is unreasonable when made to
cover the increased cost of what they have to
purchase to put their road in order.
AS to the right ofmaking the scale of charges
for passages or freight, reference to the char
ter of the Greenyille and Columbia Rail Road
would settle the question. AS to the question Of
monopoly and i'm position will not go into argu-
ment, but beg to be allowed to state one instance
in regard to the action Of the President Of the
Greenve and Columbia Rail Road in regard to
refugees, that has come to my knowledge. A
widow lady of this city made her destitute condi-
ton known to him, and he very properly allowed
her free passage for herself and family Of chill
dren. There may be other instances of like
kind. As far as my information extends, and |
think will be borne out by the testimony of
others Of our city, think that the charge Of Elm
position" cannot well be laid to the President
andDircctors Of the GreenTille and Columbia Rail
Road No further communication on the sub
| ;act will be made bv FAIR PLAY.
