The attention OF the business public is called to
the following extract OF letter received this day,
informing US that cotton and goods can be ship
ped from Columbia, 8. O., to New York, uia Char
lotte and Norfolk, cheaper than through Charles
ton:
"We have advised our house at Columbia, 8. c.,
to ship cotton uia Charlotte and Norfolk, to New
York, and receive goods same way. II the South
Carolina Railroad Company allows this to be done,
we cannot help it. We must do what is to our in
terest in business"
Will the President of the South Carolina Rail-
road give the public the reasons why such pro-
hibitory rates are charged, and thereby depriving
our city and its merchants of that to which they
are justly entitled.2 MERCHANT.

The Postomce.

MessrS. Editors: The chance of q prospectiye
change in the site Of our Postoffice gives much
concern. The present location has suited all
classes OF our citizens 30 admirably, and eyerv
arrangement connected with the establishment
has been made to work 30 satisfactorily, that we
but express very generally evidenced desire.
when We say that We trust our truly efficient
postmaster will further attest his ready disposi
ton to consult the convenience and wishes of our
people, by using his influence to retain the site in
the vicinity Of it's present location Hasel-street
is the ueTy centre of our city. 1t is the great
thoroughfare between King and Meeting streets,
and adjacent to our chief hotels ALI the business
establishments Of Hayne, King and Meeting
streets surround it. To those on East Bay it ia
equally convenient, as in the transit from break
fast, and on their way to dinner, most of those
doing business in the lower part of the town pass
directly by it. Another great consideration OF no
little force under altered condition, our ladies
can, without trenching into the rougher precincts
OF East Bay, deposit their letters as they wend
their way to King g-street. This is great matter
The greatest convenience of the greatest num-
ber, indicates that the Postoice should not be re-
moved from the vicinity of it's present site. We
are sure that if our people can prevent it, they
will never acquiesce in the Postofice being again
placed in one remote corner at the extremity of
the city. The large population in our Upper
Wards, whittier our growth is extending, should
have some consideration. We believe that our
esteemed Postmaster will not be unheedful of the
general convenience in any permanent change

AesSrs. Editors Your paper some time since
contained the Introductory address of Governor
BuLLocH, of Massachusetts,, upon the occasion of
General HowARD's lecture before the people Of
Boston on the condition of the freedmen.
This address is 30 singularly in contrast with
the opinions and recommendations of Governor
GARDNER, OF the same State, in his inaugural
speech to the Legislature in the year 1855, that
beg to repr oduce them as curiosities.
Governor BUILocH says: 'sThe right Of the
freedmen to occupation and labor, to food and
clothing and education, and their status in the
Courts Of Law and Justice. are Of primary neces-

duty to watch and guard and preside; but there

which may affect the future political destiny of

HARpER's "Monthly Record of Current Events"

Governor GARDNER's address e" It is mainly de-.

apprehended from the foreign population in our

gard to them. he recommends that every foreign
tongue shall be discarded; that oil documents be
printed in the English language only that all
foreign sympathios be disbanded and the control
OF the country be retained in the hands of the

ne says "believe that our rights, privileges and
liberties, are endangered by the influx of foreign
lhhuences, which has increased 80 rapidly within
lew years past. They distrust influences nurs-
ed in customs and creeds, antagonistioal to re-.
publicanism, and venal, ignorant, and vicious
voters, controlled by those who have other objects
in view than the public good" He recommends
an amendment OF the Constitution prohibiting
the exercise of the elective franchise to all Of alien

resided within the State twenty.one years. %

The Trial OF JeR. Davis to be Postponed

his Counsel, etc.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-It is now considered GER
tain that the trial Of JEFF. DAVIS will be postpon-
ed from June to the November term Of court.
The hot weather, and the possibility Of epidenfts
are sufficient to warrant the delay until later in
the season. Neither is it expected that he will be
brought to trial under the Norfolk indictment.
The Grand Jury simply adjourned, and is there
fore competent to withdraw this and substitute
any other. The Norfolk indictment is good in the
absence Of any other, and was drawn in almost
ment; but the assistant counsel for the prosecu-
ding several additional points. The 18th Of June
ment must by law be found within three years Of
the alleged crime; and secondly, the evidence that
was WI brought before the Grand Jury fixed that
1t is no longer secret that James T. Brady, OF
New New York, is engaged as counsel for Jefferson
with Mrs. Davis at the residence of DR.. Miller.
where she is now stopping: Mr.. Davis will be
prepared at the June term Of court, to be held in
Richmond, and will insist upon an immediate
trial, or being released upon his own recognizance
or upon bail He will also be prepared to give
bail in any amount demanded by the Govern:
ment to the extent Of five or ten millions Of
dollars: His counsel will insist that there
is neither law. nor JUSTICE, nor precedent for
refusal to accept bail, should the prosecutors
for any reason ask for o postponement Of
the case The opinion is widespread that the
government will ask a continuance Of the case on
the ground Of not being prepared for trial; but it
is believed that when all the consequences of de-
lay are considered, and the fact once known that
