Mr.. .EpTToR: In continuation of
your remarks upon the commercial
character of our city, we MAY observe
that no city South possesses such
natural, advantages for business as
Columbia. Since the war, a new inn
pulse has been given in nearly every
branch of trade, and every enterprise
exhibits o freshness and vigor truly
encouraging. Columbia, as will be
observed by a single glance at the
map, is in. central position, ira
versed and intersected by railroads
leading in every direction, from the
mountains to the seaboard. She is
peculiarly located, with advantages
and facilities of trade which must
make her the great store-house and
granary of the State. We have buy
ers who are ready. to pay the highest
market price for produce. And here
let us remark, in connection with
this, that the farmers and planters
should send in all their surplus pro-
duce, however small it may be, IA
few bushels of corn, wheat, barley,
oats, pinders, and, indeed, every
thing, which may be in excess of
home use, should be sent to market
and sold.) And they, in return, have
goods to sell, at low prices. The fact
is, that Columbia is the cheapest
place to buy goods; and, to measure
this broad assertion, le. our friends
in the country try it. The largest
stocks of hardware, groceries, dry
goods, boots and shoes, tin wares,
china and crockery, saddlery and
harness, may be found here. House
hold goods, of every variety, and
household remedies, too, for we must
not neglect the drug houses in Co.
lumbia, for without health, we can
not build up our little mortal taber-
nacle, nor big city. The drug de-
partment is fortunate in being in the
hands OF experienced and competent
persons, who are determined not to
be outdone or under. sold.
The health of Columbia is q fea-
ture of no small Importance. Situate
upon the bluff which over-looks the
wild Congaree, with its thousand
cataracts, one can hardly imagine a
spot freer from disease, and where
"old mortality" lengthens out it,
three.score years and ten. The doc
tors have frequently observed, with
naioete, that disease is much more
frequent than fatal; but this may
be only joke, for we know the doc
tors live by keeping alive.
In q future article, we will say
something in regard to the salubrious
character of our sand hills, with re-
ference to "Hotel deS Inualides''--a
subject which should claim some
consideration from the Medical Fa-
Guilty.

Kentucky friends of John G.
Breckenridge say he is anxious to be
pardoned, come home and return to
the practice of law in Kentucky. He
will soon leave Europe for Canada,
where he will remain until he gets
permission, in the form of a pardon,
to go to Kentucky.
One of the Jenkinses, writing OF a
recent hop at Saratogs, says: ga
very pretty girl passed by us, leaning
on the arm on gentleman who was
dressed in Swiss muslin and pink

been the cool of the evening.

"LET US HAVE PEACE. when the
Russians exterminated one-half of Po-
land and brutally trample upon those
surviving, even to the extent of abo-
fishing their language and blotting
their country from the map-the
Russians proclaim that "Order reigns
in Warsaw, and the Gar, like Gen.
Grant, caws out "Let us have peace.
1t is Tacitus, we believe, who de-
scribed the ancient method of pacifi-
cation, now so cleverly aped by Gen.
Grant. He shows how the conqueror
"made q solitude and called it peace.
Gen. Grants gushing utterance has
but little of the apostolic flavor; it
ieathes of the Russian and smells of
the charnal-house. History is full of
just such wolfish cant, and if the
lamb trusts in its sincerity, wo! to
the lamb. for it is already half-de-
voured. d.-Augusia ConStitutiOnalist.

New FLoUR.-Messrs. Copeland s,
Bearden have favored US with sack
of new -four, ground from wheat
grown by Captain W. H. Stack, of
this District. AS we have tried it,
we can recommend it as being very
fine. The above named gentlemen
have small quantity on hand.
Messrs. j. A. Hendrix & Co. have
also favored us with very fine speci-
men of flour, ground from wheat
grown in Lexington. The latter
named gentlemen have very large
stock of flour on hand; and as they
select their own wheat, are always
able to offer their customers o good
article.

ANOTHER FATAL CASE OF DROWN
1Na.-We learn that Mr.. Kelly's son,
q white boy of about twelve years of
age, has been missing since yester-
day morning, pnd there is reason to
believe that he has been drowned in
Fisher's mill pond, as he was last
seen there, in company with several
other lads. o.-rut a.2
The CENTRAL HOTEL We had the
pleasure, on yesterday, of testing the
cuisine of this hotel, kept by the
attentive and courteous host, Mr..
Clayton. We can commend it to the
public as pleasant and retired
house, where good fare and good
attention will make ones sojourn
there pleasant and satisfactory.
Our neighbor over the way, of
Queens Delight" notoriety, has
yielded to the soft impeachment con-
tanned in our local of yesterday. He
has evidently been struck with the
force of our P. S.; he sees what
others have seen before, the S. P.

true to the ring of good metal, re-

NEGRO Boy DROWNED regret
to have to record case of drowning
on the 10th inst. The Coroner gives
us the following facts: A negro boy,
named George Thackam, formerly
the property of Mr.. Frank Tnackam,
about thirteen years old, went down
to place known as Crock Hole"
about two miles from the city, in
company with other boys, white and
black. Suddenly George was missed.
Nothing to be seen, except his cap
and fishing rod, He had slipped in,
and disappeared in this deep hole
Efforts were made to bring up the
body, but without avail Upon hear,
ing of the fatal accident, Mr..
Thackam proceeded at once to the
spot, and tried to recover the body,
but he did not succeed until the next
morning. At that time, Coroner
Walker went down and brought the
body to the city. The jury, after q
protracted session, returned q YER
dict of accidental drowning"
The Coroner informs us that,
within the last three or four years,
five bodies have been taken from that
fatal hole. ~. II

|'@ We attended, by invitation, yes
terday morning, at the farm Of Mr..
James Crawford, to witness the ope-
ration Of threshing wheat by steam.
The thresher itself was one of II. L.
Emery's patent, and it demonstrated
to the satisfaction Of those present
all the advantages claimed for it by
the builder It threshes as clean as
the old process-the wheat, chaff and
straw are separated and thrown ont
at different places. The engine by
which the machine. is driven is q
perfect model, and being, the most
compact and durable we have ever
seen, reflects the highest degree of
credit upon that skilled mechanic
and machinist, r. Tozer, Esq, It is
constructed upon rather new prin-
ciple, the cylinder being within the
boiler. and water is pumped into it
at boiling heat, and there is, no dan
ger Of fire, the smoke-stack being SO
CONSTRUCTED that no sparks emanate
from it. With this engine (which is
of 6-horse power) and thresher, from
800 to 400 bushels of wheat can be
threshed in one day, with one-quarter
of cord of wood. To Mr.. ,Tozer
belongs the credit of building the
first portable engine ever built IN
this District; and to him also belongs
the credit of being the first one to
successfully introduce the threshing
of wheat by steam in this District
We understand that it is the inten-a
tion of Mr.. Tozer to send" his ma
chinery on o trip through the up
country, and we would recommend
him to the patronage of, our readers
in that section. ""H' 't',," 80

We have fine crockery houses, seve-
