Enterprise brings the sad ntellig Of the death
OF Mr. ALLEN, which occurred at his residence, i'll
that town, on Monday last. Mr.. ALLEN was
New Englander by birth, bat came to this city
when quite young, and fer many years conducted
a school with great success. He subsequently be-
c,me connected with the firm Of McCARTER &
ALLEN, but had retired from business previous to
the war; and purchased q farm near the city. Du-
ring the war he removed to Greenville, 8. g., and
remained citizen of that place until his dea tn.
FRE1eHrs-The large amount Of merchandise
now being shipped to this place from Northern
ports, intended for all points III the South and
West and the heavy increase in the arrival OF cot
ton from the interior to be shipped to the North
and Europe, has induced considerable activity III
freights, and several large ships are now on the
berth for Liverpool. The demand for room in
steamers bound North is much ahead of the sup
ply and freiehts from here have temporarily taken
a rise. Our steamship agents have placed on ad-
ditiona Asteamers. Among them Messrs. J. & I.
GETTY have the Prometheus; Messrs STREET

TAXATION OF RA1LRoADs-We obtain the follow
ing information from the Columbia Phoenix An
other very interesting case commenced yesterday
evening, before Judge Moses The Peint is the
legality or constitutonality of the tax imposed by
the last Legislature on the gross income OF rail-
roads, The Charlotte and South Cs,olina Railroad
made their return under the law, and made ar
ransements to pay the tax. The Greenvllle Rail
road made its return but did not pay the
tax, and an execution to collect the tax
was issued. The South Carolina Railroad
made no return, and was double taxed, ac-
cording to the provisions of the law, and an execu-
tion was issued therefor, upon which the latter
corporation has presented petition praying for a
prohibition against the collection of the tax. This
is the question the argument ON which was COM
menced last evening, ARTHUR, MELTON & MELTON
for the railroad, and FIcKLINa & Pope for the
State.

was excellent, the little songsters all joining with
the spirit and with all their might.
In the absence of the Superintendent Mr..
SAMUEL A. NELSON, the Assistant Superinten-
dent, read the semi-annual report of the Trinity
and Cumberland Sabbath Schools. From it we
learn that the school was open twenty three Sab
baths during the past six months. Average at
tendance Of preachers twenty, and OF scholars one
hundred and seven; totalone hundred and twenty
seven There have been fifty-four scholars ad-
mitted, and twenty-eight have Withdrawn. No
death has occurred in this school the past six
months Thirteen from the school have Joined
the church. The roll now consists OF twenty-eight
officers and teachers (fifteen males and thirteen
females), and one hundred and eighty scholars
(seventy-eight males and one hundred and two
females); total two hundred and eight.
IMPORTANT To THE COTTON FAcToRs.-We notice
in the Ed gefeld Advertiser, that some. merchants
OF Aiken, Messrs. H. WGRsELs Il Co. and Messrs.
HAHN & SCHROEDER, offer to ship cotton from
Aiken to Charleston free of charge. Many years
ago from $1,000 to 10000 bags OF cotton were for
warded from. Aiken. There were IN those days
large warehouses in Aiken for the storage OF cot
ton, and it's streets resounded with the tinkllng
bells of hundreds of teams bringing the staple
from distant points But in the great financial re-
vulson OF 1887 those houses engaged Ill the cot
ton trade IN Aiken were swept away i'll the general
tornado. Since then the superior facites afforded
by the South arohna Railroad at its termini have
