The Charleston papers recently repub'

taching to it much significance. tbs as
follows:
1.-THE blacks, and the prohgate whites
that might unite with them, would be-
come the principal recipients of the
Federal Offices and patronage, and would,
in consequence, be raised above the
whites of the South in the political and
social scale. We would, in word.
change conditions with them--a degra-
dation greater than has yet fallen to the
lot Of a free and enlightened people, aud
one from which we could not escape
should emancipation take place (which
it certainly will if not prevented), but by
fleeing the homes of our ancestors and
by abandoning our country to our former
slaves, to become the permanent abode
Of disorder, anarchy, poverty, misery
and wretchedness."

,ARGEsT CITY CIRCULATION,
An Interssting Incident.

Gale an interesting incident took
place at the Catholic orphans fair room,
on Main street, Thursday night last. Mr..
Jefferson Davis, accompanied by Judge
Ould, visited the fair on that night, and,
whilst he was enjoying the delicacies at
the supper-table, the ladies and gentle
men present agreed TO rattle off a most
beautiful cigar-stand with music-box
attached, which had been sent, with
many other handsome articles, from
Brussels, Belgium-the winner to pre-
sent II to him. The rattle occurred, and
the prize was won by Mr.. NJ, who
requested that Miss M. C. G., the in
teresting young lady who was instru-
mental in getting up the rattle, should
present it in the name Of those who had
contributed. Miss G., approaching
the ex-President, said:
=" Mr. Davis-In the name and at the
request Of the gentleman who won the
prize, and of those ladies' and gentlemen
who contributed, present you this token
of our respect for you, the President of
the Confederate States. We only wish
that we had something more worthy of
your acceptance, but, after looking
around the table, find nothing more suit
able, and, though small the gift, we hope
you will accept it. We wish from our
hearts every blessing for yourself and
family"
In reply, Mr.. Davis said: .
/" thank you and the ladies and gem
tlemen for your kindness, and will place
this with the eold-headed cane presented
to me by the Catholic ladies of Norfolk,
who held fair for charitable purpose
last spring. Your kindness will not be
fcrgotten. The Catholics have always
been my friends, and cannot forget the
circumstance that the Holy Father, the
head of your Church, was the first SOW
ereign who sent me his blessings in my
misfortunes. May God bless you all.
After which, Mr. Davis departed,
amidst the adieus and blessings of those
present. Richmond Wing.

ERIE RAILWAY.-In our columns to-
day viii be found the new Time Table of
this road, which took effect on the II tn inst.
Several important changes have been made
with which all our readers should become
familiarized. The Erie Railway has long
held leading position in the great chain of
roads uniting the West with the East, which
is not alone attributable to the superior ac-
commodations afforded passengers, the uni
form civility of its officers and agents, the
grandeur and sublimity of the section of
country which it traverses, but to the great
vigilance exercised in the running Of trains
and providing against accidents.
Despite the closest scrutiny and circum-
spection, however, all great and important
thoroughfares are liable to accidents In
the case of the recent accident near Carrs
Rock, no human prescience could have avert
ed the sad catastrophe. For four years prior
to its occurrence not single passenger was
injured on this road; and it is generally adj
mitted that no Line went into the past VIM
ter in better condition, in all respects than
the Erie; but so unusually long and severe
of the road yielded to its rigid severity
Yet at this time the road is in as perfect a
condition, as the average of those in the
country. To render it safe beyond ques-
ton however, the company is substituting
steel rails as fast as possible for the detec-
tive iron ones; laying a double track on the
Delaware division, and doing everything 10
place the road in the most thorough eondl-
ton. The 100000 which the Company
recently came into the possession OF Will en-
able all of these improvements to be made
AS showing one of the most prominent
achievements already secured by the work
which is being pushed rapidly forward VIZ
might mention the fact that the trains al
present experience no detention, but arrive
at New York and the principal Eastern cit
les at the same hour as rival lines.
The Erie continues to issue through ticf
cts to New York at 50 As less than any otheI
route-a fact which our readers Will DO wen
to bear in mind, when visiting the EaS
either on business or for pleasure.
