stand. We never we're any "sreat shakes" at
Optics in our most scientific days. and have been
called to look through sucL varied and multfract-
ed neri. these last five years that We would not
Erust our "opics" with al opinion on so complex
an instrument.
! OF one thing we feel sure, however, that this Is
the veritnbie instI ument, 30 long desideratum,
by nieaps of which yUu may "loOk through mile

is admirably adapted to enable you to look round
the corner.
The Apataloscope will be exhibited at the Fair

will avail themselves OF that opportunity to look
through the brick. AS to the etymulogy and
meaning Of it's Ion Greek name, we would say,
that We will enlighten any Of our readers for the

BRUTAL MuRpRR.-We hsve learned from re-
liable source, that most brutal murder Was per.
petrated at Beaufort on Saturday evening last.
It appears that two freedmen while walking the
streets in that town, were maliciously shot at by
IAN individual who has been residing there but q
short TINA. One Of the freedmen was mortally
wounded and died few moments after being
shot. -, .4.f4:f
The perpetfatory of this deed was immediately
arrested, and is now confined in the jail Of Beau
fort. -:
The Jury Of inquest returned verdict OF ,oi1tul
murder in accordance with the above facts. we
learn that the murderer was native OF New Jer-
sey.
| ter from friend at Putnam County, East Florida,
from which we make the following extract. 1t
gives fair representation of the planting interest
| in that section
"We have avery heavy cotton crop, which be-
gins to look very promising. On our plantation,
where there is $50 acres planted, yield may be
expected, from the present prospect, OF over one
hundred bales, weighing three hundred pounds
each. Still, on some Of the places free labor has
not done,so well, some having left, and at this
time cotton wants particular attention with the
hoe. Corn has also been planted largely, and the
stand is good. Sugar cane looks about as well as
formerly, and if the weather continues as favora-
bly, as it has set in, there will be fine harvest
this Fall. The sweet potato never looked better.
TIE RAILROAD CoNvEN1IoN.-The Richmond
Exam, yer Of Friday ,aays: .grhe Railroad Conven-
ton, composed Of he Presidents, supermtendents
and other officials Of the Southern Railroads,
opened the second days session yesterday 10
A. NJ, in the Ladies' Ordinary Of the spotswood.
President, Colonel wI1LlAM JoHssos, President Of
the Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, in the
Chair; Messrs. FITCH and GHIo Secretaries,
The Convention finally, after . thorough dis
oussion Of the system, adopted resolution re-
solving upon system Of through tickets and
close connections from New Orleans, Meth, to
New York, and all important intermediate
points, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and South
through Richmond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Savan-
nah, Charleston, Augusta, Macon, Atlanta and
Mobile, Resolutions and schedules were adopted
for thsihstrnction and. snidapocse tho foads-ln
carrying ont the action OF the Convention, which,
at 2. P. h., took recess until P. II. At the
appointed hour the Convention resumed, the only
adoption Of system Of through checks to accom-
pany the through tickets, and the mode Of settle
ment with the clearing houses. This was satis-
factorily accomplished, we understand, and the
membera Of the body, after harmonious ses-
sion Of two days, adjourned sine die"
We consider the results that are expected to
flow 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 so soon as the new system gets
into easy working order the stupendous advan-
tagcs will begin to be scen and appreciated.
We congratulate the Southern country upon the
important action Of the Southern Railroad Com
pauies. With the luxurious sleeping cars Of the
Southern Transportation Company, two or more
of WI ich are now running upon three or four oi
the more extended Southern roads, the advan-
tages Of the new through ticket system, adopted
by the convention, are greatly enhanced.
