The Auditor of tho South Carolina
Railroad, in another column Of the
Nctos this morning, announces that
tho Company is prepared to pay all
the interest due on their coupons for
January, 1867. Tho foreign debt Of
S,2,00O,O00 has been similarly provid-
cd for in London. Wc arc sincerely
glad to be able to record this. The
business of tho Company is steadily
improving, as our readers may have
noticed, from the very last receipts OF
cotton daily published for some weeks
past. On Saturday last no loss than
l7tl bales reached Charleston oyel
this road.
Tho South Carolina Railroad Com.

struction left them by tho closing o.
tho war. But its friends viii bt
pleased to learn that the damages tt

and rolling stock, iias been gomofailJ
repaired, and that too without adding
by loans to the debt Of tho Company
which, like many individuals, put it
shoulders to tho wheel and workc'
out--no thanks to Hercules.
The stockholders, we take it, lay
concluded to be just Ito othcrs) bcfor
