CHARLESTON AND THE FALL TRADE.-The
return of the fall season has witnessed the
resumption of business by many Charles
ton merchants, who have largely contri-
buted by their perseverance and energies to
the material prosperity of the city, but by
mono whom we more heartily congratulate
than Minor Il Co. Establishing, anterior
to the war, (by their integrity and enter
prise,) large and successful trade, the
gentlemen composing this firm had ac-
quircd reputation for skill in manage
mcnt, which attracted an cnviable patron
age to their house, and which, but for the
financial disasters that ensued upon the
fall Of the Confederacy, would doubtless
have made them, in very few years, inde-
pendent OF the pecuniary contingencies of
trade. But they experienced calamitous
reverses, which appear to have interrupted
their usefulness only long enough to ener-
gize them to the further development of
their business qualifications and resources.
We are happy to notice that Minor &
Co. have engaged and are now occupying
the spacious building No. 1873 Meeting
street, where they have prepared facilities
and accommodations for the conduct OF
the auction and commission business. to
which Mr.. John G.. Minor, the senior part
ner, will devote his personal attention.
The wholesale dry goods business will here
after be carried on under the name of Mil
nor, Wilbur & Martin, at the old stand, No.
1856, where they have now in store a very
largo and desirable stock of fancy and
domestic dry goods of every variety, and
of qualities unsurpassed by any which
have ever been offered in this market.

IMPORTANCE OF ADvERTIsING.-Th bust
ness community has never appreciated the
benefits arising from judicious expendi-
ture of printers ink. Here is the e1pe-
rience OF a successful business house in a
distant city. We happen to know that the
statement is true oho every word of it:
''In brief interview with one Of our
most liberal patrons, u few days since, we
inquired his experience of the policy of
advertising. We regard his answer as
noteworthy, and commend it to the consi-
dcration Of others. He said the same
kind Of business in which he is engaged
had been carried on at the same stand for
ten years, by one, and nearly ten years, by
another predecessor; that these men
gave diligent attention to their business,
and were sober and frugal, but spent no
thing for advertising. They were Just
barely able to eke out living; that he
bought out the concern ten years ago, and
began debtor for the whole establishment
He felt poor, and only expended fifty dol
lars per arnum in each of the business
papers the i-rst year; that subsequently,
he increased his expenses to several thou
sand dollars annually for advertising, and
the result has demonstrated its marvellous
utility, as he is to-day worth SITS, ZOO, and
his annual profits are constantly increas-
ing"

ANOTHER ScHEDULE.-We understand
that new schedules of running on the
South Carolina and the Charlotte Railroads
are now being prepar ed, and will go into
operation on or about Tuesday next BY
the new arrangement. the Charleston
trains going North will arrive in Columbia
about 2.30 a. m., and the Charlotte trains
going South will arrive at this point at l 80
p. m. This arrangement, as at present
contemplated, will continue in operation
for six months-an arrangement extremely
doubtful, Judging from past experience.
In truth, there is so much unreliability as
to the schedules on these roads, that tra-
velers arc avoiding the upper route as un-
certain. Let US hope, however, that the
present schedule will, at least, have six
months permanency attached to it.

lowed by drills upon the exercises
which compose the small and capital
letters, and from this to letters,
words and sentences The student
thus acquires, first, a perfect and sys-
tematic style of penmanship, which
by constant practice in connection
with his studies gradually runs into
rapid business style.
1t has always been admitted that
the best method, and some business
men hold, the only method, of ac-
quiring a good style of pcnmanship
is to copy from well written manu-
script, where the use Of capitals,
punctuation, the connection Of words
and sentences are taught as we'll as
the mere formation Of the letters.

Tile Bangor Commercial College
now ranks one of the largest as well as
one of the most thoroughly and extensive
y useful Educational Institutions of the
day. During the past two years, the Col
lege has been attended by upwards of five
hundred students, representing nearly ev.
cry portion of the United States as well
as the Canadas. The College now has
full corps of teachers and professors, and
has been furnished with every facility for
carrying out the details of business. The
Institution is under the direct management
of one of the proprietors of the chain, who
has his head quarters at this place. The
success of our graduates would speak best
for the efficiency of the Institution, and to
them and their employers, we refer with
the highest satisfaction.
1t is the opinion of all who are acquaint.
ed with the details Of the Institution, that
its facilities for imparting thorough Bu-
siness Education, can neither be eoualed
nor excelled in the country.

BUSINESS ETHICS.
HONESTY THE BEST POLICY.

Occasional lectures are delivered
upon this subject which are calcula-
ted to impress upon the mind of the
student the principles of business in
tegrlty, and the necessity of carrying
these principles into the eommonest
transactions of life.
PHYSICAL CULTURE.
We need hardly stop to discuss
the Importance of a knowledge o.
the human system to a class of young
men and ladies. The lecture will
touch upon the following topics
Anatomy, Hygiene, the Laws of
Health, Physical culture, &c.
ACTUAL BUSINESS.
In the first course of Actual Bust.
ness, the students represent traders
doing business in the same commu.
nifty. Each student commences
business with a stated capital in cash
and goods, and proceeds to trade,
making transactions with other stu
dents, keeping regular Bank ac-
count, and keeping his books to cor
respond with his transactions.
In the second course of Actual
Business the students represent mer-
chants in different cities, and are al.
lowed to transact business only by
correspondence. Collections are
made by the means of Drafts, which
pass through the Bank. The bust
ness OF this course consists mainly
OF Shipments, Consignments and
Merchandise in company business,
bringing into requisition the Freight
Office, Post Office and Telegraph OF:

BUSINESS COMPUTATION.
1t is one Of the greatest accom-
plishments Of an accountant to be
quick and accurate in figures. The
subject Of Commercial Computation,
though Of more common use than
any other branch of mathematics, is
scarcely more than touched upon in
any Of our schools or colleges, and
many young men, possessing a fin
ished education, are found incompe-
tent to make computation i'll par
tial payments, or to cquatc an ac-
count. The numerous examples
which we have had brought in to us
for solution. by accountants and
business men, tell but too plainly
that this branch has not received the
attention which its Importance de-
mands.
In this department we are not con-
fined to the set forms and rules of
any textbook, but arc enabled To
present many improvements upon
the old methods, together with some
entirely new and emincntly practical
features in computing, which, though
in use among the best accountants,
have, We believe, never appeared i'll
any published course. These are
introduced as the result Of years OF
business experience, and require in
