CHARLESTON AND THE WILMINGTON AND MAN!
CHESTER RAnRoAD.A The statement which follows
has been Furnished to us by merchant of our
city largely interested in Cotton, and from him we
learn that the writer is of the utmost reliability.
The information contained in. tins extract is Of
character to make all who have the prosperity OF
our good old city at heart feel an anxious desire
that the policy Of the Wilmington and Manchester
Railroad should be met by Some countervaihng
action. Can railroad having sea terminus in o
neiehborng State but running most of its course
in South Carolina, SO manage its freight tariff,
when acting under charter from this State, as to
discriminate so largely against freight coming In
this direction2 It would seem strange if such
should be the case, q remedy for this state OF
things must be found quickly,

they could, but the freight to Wilmington is but

Charleston; and strange to say, We can get goods
quicker from Baltimore than we can from Charles

The fault to great extent lies at Florence, where
the goods lie over q week before they are shipped

The large number CT country merchants who have
purchased their goods in New York this season
were influenced as much by the pleasures Of that
metropoIs-the Black Crook and kindred amuse-
ments-as by the price OF goods.
Charleston is perhaps the only Southern city
that has not found out the importance OF public
amusements. Their presence in any city is sign
of life and is the best advertisement that could be
presented to the public. We are glad to see that
some of our citizens appreciate the truth OF the
old broyerb and are endeavoring to make the old
