ANOTHER YANKEE BooK.-The author Of that
singular melange OF Yankee stories and sketches
entitled "Widow Bedott," left q portfolio Of unpub-
lished manuscripts Of the same sort, which will be
Issued next week under the title Of 'Widow Sprig-
gins, by G. W. CARLTON & Co.,, who will have
ready at the same time, q novel by a new Southern
lady author, entitled "Four Oaks"
APLEAsuRE IN sToRE.-The huge picture gale
ry recently er ,cted IN Meeting street, by DAN CAS-
rELLo, was surrounded yesterday by an admiring
crowd, who discussed tho fanciful representations.
The urchins. both white and black, were in high
glee, and discussed the contemplated invasion
with considerable animation. There arc tow who
do not remember January and the other features
OF DAMS Caravan, and we anticipate o rush to the
canvass, as soon as it's white walls are reared on
the Green. M
CURIOUS AND INTEREsTINa.-A demure looking
individual was seen on East Bay ct an early hour
yesterday morning (when the thermometer was
below seventy d~egrees), with q large but faded
umbrella spread overhead as a protection against
the mild sunshine that other folks were seeking
from choice.
Another singular phenomenon WAS q man, with
a straw hat and an overcoat on, walking on the
battery late yesterday afternoon.
We PROFOUND the inquiry, What does it all
mean
PROCESSION OF CoLORED CHILDREN.-The un-
usual sound Of martial music heard on the streets
yesterday, caused e number Of curious persons to
collect ON the street corners and along the side
walks, in order to obtain q good view of the show.
The procession was heralded by q band Of music.
and WAS composed Of colored children, members,
We we're informed, of the Rev. Kane's Sunday
School In the African Church. The children were
guarded by a small bedy Of colored men in uni.
form, and by two policemen. They paraded
through the principle streets and attracted q con.
siderable crowd Of colored boys and men who
lined the sidewalks. i &A
The NEW TARIFF FOR WINTER FREIoHrs FROM
CHARLESTON TO ALL INTERIOR POINTS IN SourH
CARoLINA.--We see by the newspapers at all the
most prominent interior points that the South
Carolina Railroad has squared off for q regular
Winter campaign in freights to Columbia and all
points in this State. We see in the CoIumbia pa
pers now and then fabulous accounts Of freight
movements (2) ola all sorts Of lines-except by
Charleston on account Of prices-and yet a con-
spicuous advertisement is in every other South
Carolina paper that comes to hand, which con-
tains this irrepressible announcement Rates al
ways guaranteed less than the published rates Of
any other line" The Camden Journal says
We see by an advertisement in the Columbia
Phoenix, that the Soath Carolina Railroad Com
pany have reduced the froights materially, on all
goods shipped from New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore to Columbia. The rates charged are
guaranteed to be less than those OF any other
line. and changes will be promptly made to meet
reductions in competing lines"
We hope the Columbia papers will find room
for this information, and II they have leisure, we
suggest a comparison Of rates by the various
lines - s". "t
The Steamship lines to Charleston and the South
Carolina Railroad, Offer the inducements Of
" time " and "money saved and the steamers
and trains come and 60, full Of freights. Our
country cousins will get at the truth after awhile
We hope. !
