HE COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RAIL
ROAD. The first train over this rail
road to Graniteviiie, went through,
yesterday, in charge of Mr.. Conduc-
tor Gormley. An interesting state
ment of the condition of the Com
pany-the reports of the President
and Directors, and Treasurer-is
published in another column, to
which we invite especial attention
not only of the stockholders, but
the citizens of the two States which
this road connects.
Detectives Schwartz and Radcliffe
succeeded in orresting Thos. Harri-
son, yesterday morning, at his home,
near this city. The prisoner is charg-
ed with horse stealing, we believe.
Mr.. Segers has renewed operations
in Columbia, and has gone into the
sale of liquors and segars at whole
sale and retail. His known expert
ence will be the best indication of
the purity of the articles he will
keep on hand. His establishment is
on Main street, but stones throw
from the post Office. On Saturday
night, Mr.. Seger's friends called on
him, and spent sociable half-hour.
The press was fully represented. It
is hoped that Mr.. S. will so prosper,
that he may be soon enabled to re-
new his former liberal mode of cele-
brating birth-days-by distributing
tierce of rice and an entire beef to
the poor, as was his won't.
RESIGNATION OF AUDITOR ToML1N-
soS.-The following is a copy of Mr..
Tomlinson's letter to the Governor,
resigning his position as Auditor of
State:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF AUDITOR OF STATE,
COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. %, 1868.
Hon. r. K. Scott, Gouernor of Souh
Carolina. os
GOVERNOR: When I accepted the
position of State Auditor, it was
with the hope and expectation that
it would not seriously interfere with
my duties as member of the Legis-
lature. My experience during the
few days which have passed since the
beginning of the present session, has
convinced me that it is best for me
to retire from one of these positions.
After careful consideration, I have
decided that duty to the constitn-
ency which sent me to the Legisla-
ture, demands that I shonld remain
in that place. I, therefore, herewith
tender my resignation as State Audi
tor, to take effect as soon rs the place
can be filled.
Much yet remains to be done for
the organization of that department:
