Gentlemen The watches manufactured bv vou
have been in use on this railroad for several wears
by cur enginemen, to whom we furnish watches
as part of our equipment There are now some
three hundred of them carried on our line and we
consider them good and reliable keepers.
Indeed have great satisfaction in SAYING YOUR
watches give us less trouble, and have worn and
do much longer without repairs than any
watches we have ever had in use on this road As
you are aware, we formerly trusted to those of
English manufacture, of acknowledged g.od repu-
tation but as a class they keep time as cor
rectly, nor have they done as good service as
yours.
In these statements l am sustained by my pred
ecessor Mr.. Lewis whose experience extenued ov-
er a series Of years.

SCHENCK's SEAWEED ToNIC.-This
medicine, invented by DR.. J. H. Schenck, of Phil
adelphia, is intended to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, the first process of digestion. By
cleansing the stomach with Schencks Mandrake
Pills the Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it will be cas-
lily digested
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck' S Pull
monte Syrup unless the stomach and liver is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly every of con-
sumption. half dozen bottles of the SEAwEED
Tonic, and three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary of dyspepsia.
Dr. Schenck makes professional visits in New
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place or his pamphlet on consumption, for his days
of visitation
Please observe, when purchasing, that the two
likenesses of the Doctor one when in the last stage
of consumption and the other as he now is, in per-
feet health, are on the Government stamp.
Sold by all druggists and dealers; price 81 80
per bottle, or 81 80 the half dozen All letters for
advice should be addressed to DR.. Schenck's prn-

The Dry Goods Market.

The weekly report Of the New York dry
goods market, dated Thursday, 18th, states
some very notable facts. Prints are dull
and heavy" Well, when the Press has no
lively matter on hand, dull and heavy prints
must be expected.
There is large accumulated stock ol
undesirable styles. Desirable styles are
scarce and prices steady"
That is true Of this market; il the stylei
could be improved it would be a-great i'm
provement We learn thai 1.-The tone Of tn,

decidedly improved" This is owing to th'
legislation Of Congress.
"Drills of heavy weight are in request"
These are, doubtless, wanted in the oi
region.
Canton hannels are dull. Stripes ar
moving more freely"
This last sentence refers to Massachusetts,
where, according to a report made by DIR
0rdway, there were 10000 cases OF aoggine
in the public schools in nine months.

mometer, Mt o'clock this morning, stood at
eight degrees below zero. About four inches
OF snow has fallen since 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. The ice gorges in the river above
here broke loose last night, and came by
about midnight. The ice, extending from
shore to shore, head up the drift, striking
coal and fat boats lying above the water
works, carried eighteen OF them down the
stream. The gorge next struck the steamer
Argyle, driving her against the American, q
new boat building for the Louisville mail
line, and both boats driftad down the stream.
The Newport ferry-boat, while making her
trip, vas also caught in the ice and carried
down the stream, with the loss Of one Of her
wheels. The American lies at .Picayune
bar, The Argyle was, ct IL o'clock this
morning, at the head Of McCallums Ripple,

Is considerable, and navigation is totally

MANuFACTUREs IN THE SOUTH.

n
Governor oRR, of South Carolina, who is
in this city on business, states that com.
pany is being formed with capital Of FIVE
millions to build up an immense manufac-
turing establishment in his State. The Gov
ernor having mentioned this project in a
casual conversation yesterday with Mr.
WIZARD, the eminent scientific inventor and
practical mechanic Of New York, that gen.
tlemsn made some suggestions upon the
subject which in our view are extremely
valuable, and are applicable generally to the
Southern States, especially at this time.
The base Of labor having been changed
(so to speak) by the destruction Of slavery,
the working Of great plantations by great
gangs Of laborers is no longer possible or de-
sirable. The plan Of great owners Of the
lands, by which few rich men were made
lords Of the soil and controlled the political
institutions Of the States, has failed. In
slang phrase, (almost common parlance,) J
that system is played out" II was not a
democratic, genuine American idea. A few
great lin landed possessions and political in
fluence) men ruled the States with no re-
spectacle constituency. II was as wasteful
and improbable as II was undemocratic.
The South supported the Democratic party
and was aristocratic in all its ideas Of labor
and production. This hindered the proper
development Of the unbounded resources oi
their rich country and finally brought upon
them political ruin. ... .. ...r-
Now the project mentioned by Governor
Orr, Of establishing q mammoth manufac-
turing establishment in South Carolina,
seems TO Indicate that the old ideas Of the
South are to be applied to their manufac-
turing In order to recuperate their de-
cayed fortunes, they deem 1t desirable TO
offer their resources to the enterprise Of
manufacturers, and to hold out inducements
to capitalists, but If they are wise they will
diffuse the capital they propose to invest
through the ranks Of large number ofsmall
operators, rather than concentrate it in the
hands Of one or two immense concerns.
What South Carolina wants, what the South
wants. is many small farmers and many
| bInhl uldnuluCluTtTs tucn tnSH IeSuuICVe
will be properly developed, and their political
representatives will have powerful constitu
encies which will make themselves felt in the
affairs Of the nation.
II, instead Of establishing mammoth fac
tory, the proposed investment Of FIVE millions
should be devoted to the construction oi
buildings and machinery that might be
rented by manufacturers and mechanics oi
small capital, and thus diffuse the benefits oi
large aggregated capital among q large
number Of enterprising individuals, II would
prove thousand fold more beneficial to the
State Of South Carolina than it will by the
plan proposed.

The DAUGHTER OF SoUTH CAROLINA Ex-

following extract Of a private letter received
in that city: 3luqI ,.age a-e. .
Hon. John d. Ashmore's wife and children
started to visit their relations in this Sum
ter) district. He told them that when they
left Camden they must reach the widow Of
Mr.. John N. Mcleod. Night overlook them
before they got to Mrs McLeod's and meet
ing two young men In the road, they asked
how far the next house was, and were an
swered, "A long way off," With this answer
Mrs. Ashmore concluded 10 camp ont. They
had got fixed for the night, and Miss Pau.
line, about 20 Yeas old, had fallen asleep
near the fire that had been made. At this
time some negroes came along and asked,
"Why don't You go to the next house Mrs.
Mcleod lives within mile and half?'
With this they were preparing to leave,
when the negro man who was carrying the
horses discovered Miss Pauline's dress on
fire rs she slept In attempting to put out
the fire she awoke and tried to get away.
He held on to her and tried his best to put Il
out. She was thrown upon the ground and
every effort made to put out the fire, but all
in vain. She finally got away and ran until
her clothing was entirely consumed. Her
body was burned awfully. A bed was gotten
from Mrs McLeod's, for they were but u
short distance from her house, and there she
was carried, but nothing could be done for
her, except that chloroform was given, which
put her to sleep, and thus she passed away.
She was highly educated, and much beloved.

THANKS to the advantages Of her position
Chicago has been able to draw from abroad
nearly oil the money needed for her great
enterprises. The Times Of that city thus
states the case:
"If anybody ever raised so much as FIVE
dollars in Chicago to build railroad or a
canal the fact has not transpired and the
individual who contributed the amount is
keeping it quiet lest he excite the derision OF
his acquaintance. There are churches in
this city which never cost dollar of Chicago
