Ing How 1t is done we do not pretend to undor-
stand. We never were any "great shakes" at
Optics in our most scientific days, and have been
called to look through such varied and multfract-
Ell media these last five years that VIC would not
trust our "optics" with opinion on 30 complex
an instrument.
or one thing we feel sure, however, that this is
the Veritabe instrument, 30 long desideratum,
by means OF which you may 'look through mile
stone" as far rs the next man, moro than that, it
ls admirably adapted to enable you to lools round
tho corner.
| The Apataloscope will bo exhibited at tho Fair
in Hibcrnian Hall, and we hope all our friends
will avail themselves Of that opportunity to look
| through the brick. AS to the etymology and
meaning OF long Greek name VIC would say,
that we will enlighten any Of our readers for the
consideration Of ten cents in greenbacks,-if they
will call at tho NEWS office, this day. between the
hours Of twelve and ono o'clock P. M. The pro-
ceeds shall be devoted to the Trinity Church Fair.
BRUTAL MURDER.-We have learned from re-
liable source, that a most brutal murder was per.
petrated at Beaufort on Saturday evening last.
1t appears that two freedmen while walking the
streets in that town, were malciously shot at by
| an individual who has been residing there but a
| short time. One OF the freedmen was mortally
wounded and died few moments after being
shot.
The perpetrator OF this deed was immediately
arrested and is now confined in the jail of Beau
fort
The Jury of inquest returned a verdict Of ,,uf,,,
murder In accordance with the above facts. We
learn that the murderer WAS native Of New Jer-
sey.
LETTER FROM FLonIDA.-Wo have received a. let
ter from friend at Putnam County. East Florida
from which We make the following extract. It
gives fair representation of the planting interest
| in that section
We have very heavy cotton CROP which be-
gins to look very promising. On our plantation.
where there is ESQ acres planted, yield NAV be
expected, from the present prospect, of over one
hundred bales, weighing three hundred pounds
each. Still, on some Of the places FREQ labor has
not done 80 we'll, some having left, and at this
time cotton wants particular attention with the
hoe. Corn has also beon planted largely, and the
stand is good. Sugar cane looks about as we'll as
formerly, and if the weather continues as fayora-
bly, as it has set in, there will be a fine haryest
this Fall. The sweet potato never looked better"
THE RAILROAD COMMEMORATIVE Richmond

tion, composed of the Presidents, superintendentn

A. NJ, in the Ladies' Ordinary Of the spotswood.

Chair; Messrs. FITCH and GHIo Secretaries.
The Convention finally, after q thorough dis
cussion of the system, adopted q resolution re-
solving upon system Of through tickets and
close connections from New Orleans, North, to
New York, and all important intermediate
points, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and South

nah, Charleston, Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and
Mobile. Resolutions and schedules were adopted
for the instruction and guidance of the roads in
carrying out the action Of the Convention, which.
at 2. P. NJ, took q recess until P. NJ. At the
| appointed hour the Convention resumed, the only
business before it being the devisement and
| adoption Of system Of through checks to accom-
pany the through tickets, and the mode of settle-
| ment with the clearing houses. This was salts
factorly accomplished, we understand, and the
members OF the body, after @ harmonious ses-
sion OF two days, adjourned sine die."
Wo consider the results that are expected to
How from the action of the convention will be
| most important in their influences upon trade and
travel. The advantages may not be perceived
| Immediately, but 80 soon as the new system gets
into easy working order the stupendous advan-
tages will begin to be seen and appreciated.
We congratulate the Southern country upon the
important action of the Southern Railroad Com
panies. With the luxurious sleeping cars Of the
Southern Transportation Company, two or more
OF wi ich are now running upon three or four of
the more extended Southern roads, the advan-
tages\of the new through ticket system, adopted
By the convention, are greatly enhanced.
