ness for mountains and amidst their glo.
rious beauties We easily forgot the ills that
vext us, and felt that We were, ourself
again n-like that Richard of whom We
read, who appears at one time to have been
somebody else. A month and more Of
montane residence has refreshed US but We
find tropic and torrid temperature prevail
iug here on our return. We are having
now late in September as it is weather
as hot as July is wont to rejoice in. We
whisper in our own ear, from time to time
Keep cool. 1t IS astonishing, how much
heat appears to be wasted along about this
season heat that would make a nipping
day in January gloriously genial, if We only
could get it then Ia clean waste, as faI
as our individual comfort seems to be con.
cerned. ....'..... -.
Literary. ........
We understand that Southern Quarter.
ly Review is to be started in Baltimore, IN.
der the auspices of Professor Bedsoe.
An Eclectic Magazine is soon to be start.
ed in Richmond, Virginia, in which DR..
Hoge has some part.
Dogs
The days of grace for dogs have passed,
and our policeman are employed frequently,
in shooting down in the streets such CANNES
as are not able to sport a fashionable 1866
collar, of the style approved by the city au.
thorities. Bad for the dogs.
Answer to Correspondents.

strongest character to compare racer to

the sun, while light goes it in eight min
utes. It will take the swiftest bird twenty
one days to fly around the earth, while light
flies entirely around it in the eighth Of q

The Legislature.
We cannot pretend to give any idea Of
what this body has done in this extra ses
sion. We presume the FIVE leading mea'
aures are the Civil Rights Bill, the Bill sus
pending the Civil Courts, the PeDitentiary
Bill, the Bill redeeming the Bills receiv-
able, and - last but not least - the Bill Of
appropriations.
We have such limited knowledge upon
1tbe trade of Legislating, that we are ex
trenely modest about expressing our opin
ion upon the work accomplished by this
session; but, nevertheless, we have an opin'
ion.
Our Market.
The Columbia market, finished just be-
fore we left the city, we find upon our re-
turn in full operation, afordiug plentiful
supply and some variety. The twenty stalls
are we'll stocked of mornings with good
variety of meats these being the principa
article on sale, vegetables being in smal
majority, and fish not occupying distinct
department at all, as one usually finds to be
the case in cities. Refreshments are offer
ed at one stall.
The Hamburg Railroad.
They are working vigorously upon the
Columbia end of this road. 1t is to cross
the CoDgaree River below the city, and tc
cross the Charleston Railroad mile below
its depot and pass over and unite with the
Charlotte road between its depot and the
Junction, about midway. 1t is hoped thai
next MayDay will see the road in opera
tion !; but we presume good deal depends
upon the state of the country; and, as tc
that, who but God kuows what fortunes and
what misfortunes await our unhappy coun'
try between this and next MayDay?
The University of South Carolina.
The exercises of this institution will be
resumed on Monday, the first day of Octo
Der. Let every youth who is prepared fol
collegiate studies and has money enough
come promptly. The system of study viii
be reformed soon we trust Hopes are
entertained that there will be at least hun.
dred students in October. South Carolina
ought to eepd FIVE hundred Some fear
that the drought with its short crop will
prevent some from coming who otherwise
would have done so
Better come few days before, so as to
ft up a room and be promptly ready for
studies on Monday the first day of the ses'
sion. Board of the first quality can be
had at about five dollars week. That is
the established price at the Stewards Hall,
payable quarterly in advance.
But the cheapest mode of living is for
the student to board himself. This plan is
pursued by great numbers of students in
the Universities of Europe; and now when
money is so scarce with US, economy ought
to be honorable, and every thing ought to
be done as cheaply as possible. We under
stand that messes can thus provide them
selves at an expense of about half what
must be paid at boarding house. Wher'
ever young man is willing to sacrifice
few customary luxuries and little of bis
personal comfort, in order to acquire lib
eral education, this economical plan of liv-
ing in college should commend itself. A
practicable plan is for the student, or mess
of students, to employ prudent cook in the
vicinity of the University, to provide and
furnish meals for him or them at their
