TIE ARGosY for March has come to hand. We
cannot consider this an interesting number. Ever
'sThe History Of ROBERT FALcoNER," the first
chapters OF which pleased us very much, is begin
ming to become very prosy. running satire o.
Calvinism may be very interesting to parties
but it strikes US is not exactly the thing in novel
for general readers. Mr.. JOHN RUSSELL is the
agent for the Argosy.
CHANGE or ScnEDULE.-Our readers, and partlcu-
1srly the travelling public, will be pleased to learn
that on the 18th inst. a change will be perfected
that will greatly facilitate the travel between Co.
1umbia and Augusta. Under the new schedule the
trains now leave Columbia at 114O A. NJ; arrive at
Eingville at 1.2O P. NJ. leave KingMle at 1.S5 P.
H.; arrive at Augusta at 800 P. NJ. This change
is far preferable to the former unreasonable hours,
and the innovation is due to the Superintendent,
Mr. H. T. PEAKE.
WE WOULD call attentio to the advertisement Of
Mr.. WIN. G. MAzTcK, the Librarian of the Charles
ton Library, asking for file Of the Charleston
courier from February l0th 1865, to April 16, &C.,
Complete sets of the different city papers are
always kept in this Library for public reference,
and any parties having the copies needed would
confer a benefit on the community by furnishing
them to the Library: The papers on file in this
institution are now in tie bookbinders hands, and
it is very desirable that complete sets be obtained
before the binding is completed.
EQUITY SAIEs.-By direction of JAMES TUPpER,
Esq, Master in Equity, quantity Of valuable real
estate will be sold this day at the Old Custom
House. The property advertised consists chiefly
Of houses and building lots in different parts Of the
city; also, the plantation on Cooper River known
as Strawberry, and other tracts Of land in different
portions OF the State. This sale presents opportu
mites for investment that are seldom equalled and
capitalists who can afford to lei their money Lie
idle for time will find it to their interest to
attend.
The New YORK STEAMERS. are pleased to
notice, from an advertisement in another column,
that the splendid sidewheel steamer South america
is to be placed upon the line between New York
and Charleston. This vessel is, we learn not only
the finest, but the fastest, ship in the Southern
trade, and with the Quaker CITY will give us at
least one sidewheel steamer every week. The
number of fine ships running between the two
ports is fast increasing.
We also 1norn thst tha Soma odro nto 200 dorived
by Savannah from the fierce opposition among the
steamers at that port last year are likely to be en-
joyed by the Charleston merchants, as bitter
struggle is said to be imminent among the various
lines here. We say let 1t come.
We WOULD call the attention Of purchasers to
the advertisement of MIR. J. N. ROBSON, Agent for
DUPoNT's Powder. He has a large and complete
stock, rhich will always be kept up and which he
will daily deliver to any part of the city. The
Messrs. DUPONT commenced the manufacture of
powd !, 1901, and have kept their powder up to
the standard, and an experience of thirty years
with their former Agents here have always given
complete satisfaction. Their establishment is one
of the largest in the United States, capable Of
turning out thousand kegs daily, with capital
Of over two million dollars invested thus giving
guarantee that purchasers can depead on what
they get Mr.. ROBSON is prepared to sell at lowest
market rates, and, indeed, as low as it can be or
dered from the factory in small lots.
THE CHARLESTON WATER WORKS CoMPANT.-By
reference to our advertising columns it will be
seen that .he Commissioners appointed by the Le
gslature will open this day the books Of subscrip-
tion to the stock of this Company, at the Bank Of
the State of South Carolina. AS only a small por-
ton of the capital is required from the citizens of
Charleston, we anticipate that this amount will be
