spite Of tho opposition of fow projudicod porsons

have 30 long boen an cye-soro and o comparative
impedimont to progress, will rapidly disappear,
and their places be supplied with fine residences
This is the time for enterprise and energy to tell;
other cities have profted by such loans, and have

houses, &c. Charleston should not bo left behind,
and if our leading capitalists were to mako uso of
their funds for this purpose would ultimately go

building of the city. Atlanta, Columbia, and other
| Southern cities, that have been devastated by the
enemy have acted speedily in this matter, and tho
result will testify to their good sense.

tty of bricks on hand not being sufficient to re-
build any large portion Of the city. Brick yards
were, before tho war, plentiful in this vicinity and
it would not require much outlay Of capital to
commence operations, especially if the demand is
so great as is represented.
Persons dcsirous of availing themselves Of this
opportunity to borrow money nre notified by the
Clerk Of Council to flo thor applications carly
as practicable, in order to facilitate tho business
