TEE RAILROAD WARFARE BETWEEN THE CoLUM-
B1A AND AUGUSTA AND TIE SOUTH CAROLINA RAIL-
RoAD.-The Columbia Phoenir says: 'sWe under
stand that the Columbia and Augusta Railroad,
in conformity with their charter, intended, yester-
day morning, to isy crossing over the South
Carolina Railroad track. Tho officials OF the latter
company (as suit is pending as to the validity OF
the charter Of the former. infringing upon the
vested rights Of the latter), have adopted novel
procedure to battle the efforts Of the new company
in laying down their crossing connection. Early
yesterday morning they started an engine near the
disputed point, and singular enough, it has been
plying all day yesterday, but never out OF sight OF
the aforesaid intended intersection. Both parties,
we learn, are in earnest and the result will be
looked to with interest"

CHARtrsToH IN THE HoT WEATHER.-The heated
term has at last commenced, and We may expect
three. months Of comparative discomfort, as few
persons have the means to leave the hotan dusty
city and visit the different summer retreats. In
the good old times, q June gun shone upon many
cloeed and empty houses, for all who had tho IN
cIination or the money took to themselves wings
and lied away. Suliyan's Island and Mount Pleas
art were then in their prime, and were both
fashionable summer resorts; the Moultrie House
and the different boarding houses on the island
were crowded with guests, who were, many OF
them, old 7habitues and firm believers in the salu-
tary advantages Of the sea breeze and salt water.
All Of this has been completely changed by the
-Ear, and Sullivan's Island is now but ahadow Of
i6 former SELF; the hotel has disappeared, and only
9 Sew struggling houses remain Of the pleasant
village Of MoultrieviIle. Under these circum-
stances, we are compelled to endure the weather,
recolscug that every dog has his day, and, If the
almanac is to be believed, those days are rapidly
appfOAcnlnS. we nhfe, GuouSn, many e1'eA~'oSS
that are not possessed by the residents of other
cities; the houses are built with piazzas, and are
separated from each other by lots that allow the
air to circulate freely. Besides, we are the for
tunate owners OF several breathing spots, which
are re,extenaiyely patronized. As promenade, the
Bsttery,oennot be equalled, and the fresh breeze
that always blows from the sea comes laden with
health, and: lis death blow to malaria.
= An old and homely proverb says that "as the
bedis made it must be laid in" and We argue that
with all It's disadvantages, and in spite Of the burnt
district, and the poverty Of the people, Charleston
is yet desirable for summer residence 1t is use
less to repine over the past and If we wish the fu-
ture to be equally as bright, We must husband our
resources; for by spending our money at home. We
will soon make the desert to blossom like tho rose.
We have every reason to expect healthy season,
and with the battery to visit, and the street cars
running through the principle promenades, there
will be no difficulty in weathering the summer. and
in making the old city lose some OF its wonted
dullness. Many persons will recollect the longing
they had for breath Of salt air when confned to
the country, and the desire to visit old Charlest on
was almost uncomfortable. The war had scarcely
ended when these refugees gladly returned to their
old homes, and though many Of them are now un-
able to leave it. the recollection OF their past dis
comforts will make the summer in Charleston not
only endursble, but season Of pleasurable enjoy
ment.
