PERsoNAL.-Among the passengers on the Man
haitian on last Saturday, was Mrs. S1cKLEs, the
mother Of the District Commander. In compli-
ment to her the Post Band was ordered to the
wharf, and performed several pieces prior to the
departure Of the boat.
TIE OLD GUARD for August has been received.
Besides the story Of Mr.. SnlMs and JOHN EsTEN
CooKEs battle sketch, it has variety Of articles.
One, entitled 1.-THE South and Her Faltering Men,
by the editor, will attract general attention. "The
Basis Of American Civilization" by DR.. VAN
EvR1E, is one Of the best from his pen. There is
. good selection Of other articles, which, with
Editors and Book Tables, make up a very good
number. Subscribers to The Old Guard for the
rest Of the year get steel plate portrait Of JACK
son or LEE.
SUpDEN DEATH.-Itis not often that We are called
upon to feel that 'n midst Of life We are in death,
but cases do occur when the suddenness of the
shock takes all by SURPRISE and the truth Of the
scripture saying is brought home to every heart.
The exposure to the heat OF the sun has in many
cases resulted fatally, but it is seldom that the
reaper Death gathers in his victims without some
premonitory warning. Ayoung lady of this city,
the daughter Of prominent merchant, attended
church yesterday morning, but before night her
life had flown, and o household was plunged in
mourning.
THROUGH FRE1aHrs.-Since the South Carolina
Railroad Company has re-established its night
trains the city has been enabled to communicate
promptly with the interior, and country merchants
who purchase goods in New York can receive them
in few hours after they are landed at the wharf.
The Augusta Daily Press Of the 21st says that eve
were shown q letter yesterday from Gen. T1aE An
DKRsoN, agent Of the Georgia Railroad at Atlanta,
to g. Z. JOHNSON, Master Of Transportation Of the
Georgia Railroad, in this city, in which he says
sthat Messrs. GARRETT Bro, Of Atlanta, received
goods by train on Thursday at 6:10 P. M. from New
York, by steamer Bill Of Lading, Invoice, and
letter from shippers all dated July 18th. This
makes three days. What think you Of that The
goods came by the steamer Sdrdgossd, uia
Charleston"
TIE AHNAhEss1o FREIGHT LINE.-In the new era
OF reconstruction our people have awoke to the ne
cessity Of several enterprises that were formerly
not considered important. Among these is the
quick delivery and transportation Of freight from
one point to another; and it has become q matter
Of pride with the railroad authorities to facilitate
this movement by every means in their power, A
grand combination Of the leading railroads be-
tween this city and Northern points has recently
been formed, by which freight is delivered in an
incredibly short space Of time, and for greatly re-
duced rates. This line has been called the Anna
messic and connects the different Northern cities
with Charleston. Portsmouth, Boston, New York,
and the intermediate cities are now but few
hours travel from this place; and as the schedule
Of the different roads conform, there are no vexa-
tious delays. MIR. W. ]. T. o. WOODWARD, we'll
known in this city, is the General Agent for this
line, and is here to present the claims Of the line
to the public. The Annamessic Line is q new en-
terprise, but under the management Of MIR. WooD-
WARD there can be no doubt Of its success.
THR RAILROAD CoSTRovERsY.-The Orangeburg
Ne,os says: On Wednesday last, an application
was made to his Honor Judge GLOVER for q writ of
certtorari against the City council Of Columbia.
It seems that the City Council interfered in the
dispute existing between the South Carolina R. R.
Company, and the Hamburg and Columbia R. R.
Company; and under the plea Of abating nui-
sancs, removed an engine on the South Carolina
r. r. track, at the point where the other road de-
sired to cross. The spot happened to be in the
middle Of Rice Street." one Of the imaginary
highways Of Columbia, known only by being laid
down as such on map Of the City, but which has
never BEEN opened for travel as such.
The case Of the petitioners was ably advocated
by Hon. Jos. D. Porg; while with equal ability
the City Council were represented by Hon. E. j..
ARTHUR, (both gentlemen Of the Columbia BARI,
who certainly made several very strong points in
favor Of the municipal authorities Of the Capital
His Honor Judge GLOVER reserved his decision.
This is an of.shoot from the celebrated railroad
companies above named.
CHANGE OF 1LocATIoN.-Iessrs. RIsLEy CRE1aH-
TON, ON last Saturday, celebrated the occupation
OF their new store on East Bay, south Of Unity
alley, by generous collation., to which the busi-
ness fraternity received carte blanche invitations.
Two tables were spread with the good things Of
this life, and the fow Of spirits was a convincing
proof that Order No. 50 bad not affected their sup
ply. The feast was prepared under the supervision
Of an old Charleston caterer, Tully, and was
pleasing combination Of liquids and solids.
Messrs. R1sIEf & CREIGHTON. have made move
in the right direction and the change in their base
argues continued prosperity. East Bay is now
rapidly losing it's deserted appearance and in
short time vacant store will be novel sight.
It was knowledge Of this fact that induced Mr..
P. 8. CooaAN, the present owner Of the store, to
erect so commodious q building. The large West
India trade done by Messrs. R. & G. compelled
them to store their bulky goods on wharf, and
the change from their old stand was necessitated
on this account. The new establishment is three
stories in height, and has ample room for storing
heavy goods, and We trust that the business of
the city will warrant Messrs. R1sLEY & CREIGHTON
in always keeping it well stocked with West India
produce.
DEATH OF Mr. NJ. TRAcy.-The Augusta Chroni-
Gle and Sentinel Of Saturday, after copying our re-
cent notice. remarks:
The above melancholy announcement is copied
from the Charleston DAILY NEWS of the 18th, and
will be read with profound sorrow wherever he
was known. The writer Of this feeble tribute was
late co-sborer with the deceased in the of6oa of
the NEws-as also in the Office of the MercOry
many years ago-and if any man south Of Mason
and Di1on's line knew another, he thinks he knew
him who is the subject Of these lines, and he can
truly say no more impartial or upright man ever
presided over a printing Office. That lie was
abundantly able to fll such position no reader OF
the Mercury, in its ante-bettuna days, or Of the
NEWS, Of later days, will deny. AS foreman he
WAS acceptable to the craft-as printer respected
for his capability-as man his opinions had
weight with all who knew hm-as presiding
officer distingushedsas citizen quiet and un-
pretending-asa friend strong in his attachment
ss a husband kind and affectonate-as neighbor
shoye reproach.
