reflects great credit on Mr.. RUSSELL in the
arrangement We are informed by MIR. RUSSELL
that he has never made up finer or more costly
material for buildings since he has boon manufac-
ing in Charleston. 1t is encouraging to know, in
these times, LAT there are among us planters,
native and to the manor born," who have, since
the war; managed so successfully and under cir
cumstances trying, have been able to erect such
dwellings, and that We have mechanics among us

ture Of lumber for the Charleston market, and MIR.

will produce clear timber "a inches square, from
40 to so feet long; this cut into boards and
plank, furnishes the best lumber known for the

featuring establishment Of Mr.. RUSSELL. We are
