THE WEEKLY STANDARD FOR
THE CAMPAIGN.
Only LOO for Four Months in Advance.

In order that the people of North Caro-
lima may be thoroughly informed as to the
issues in the present campaign, we have de-
termined to offer the Weekly Standard from
this date till the Presidential Election in
November for the low price Of One Dollar in
advance.
The Weekly Standard is one OF the largest
newspapers in the State, contains few or no
advertisements and is filled with news from
all parts of the Country, Market Reports,
from New York, Baltimore, Wilmington,
Proceedings of the General Assembly, State
Intelligence, &C., SC.
In politics the Standard will maintain its
reputation as a
RADICAL REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
And will labor earnestly and zealously for
the election of Gen. u S. Grant, to the Pre-
sidency of the United States as the only
means of fully restoring the Union Of these
States and guaranteeing return of that
good feeling and prosperity so much desired
by all true patriots.
NOW Is THE TINE TO SUBSCRIBE.
We appeal to our Republican friends in
North Carolina and to all lovers of liberty
| Justice and the Union to assist us in the
good work of frustrating the second attempt
on the life Of the nation inaug urated
at New York on the 4th of the present
month. Go to work with will Get

Lies.

L1cSs
We are constrained to believe that there
are some honest men who belong to the So
called Conservative party. We desire to
know if there be single one of these who
will lay his hand on the book and say that
he believes the following infamous false
hoods, clipped from the Sentinel, and in
serted there for the wicked purpose of incl
ting war of races. If such men were
punished as they deserve for such false, ma
licious and incendiary publications, we
should have less trouble in the country. The
following are the naked lies to which we
refer: "Their (the Republicans) object is to
arm the blacks against the whites, in order
to stir up conflict between races, and thus
force war and bloodshed upon u.s."
Again. "The first object of the govern
ment or the military, after the war closed,
was to take away the arms of the whites and
give them to the negroes"
To close the roll of falsehoods. "Almost
every negro in the South is in possession of
deadly weapon, while thousands of white
men are entirely destitute"

The true lady is easily recognized in pub
lie places by her neat and tasteful Dress by
her quiet and transformations, and-if there
is occasion for her to speak-by her gentle
voice and choice language. A loud, harsh
voice and slang phrases" coming from those
who IN other respects appear to have been
well brought up, always jars unpleasantly
upon the nearer. There is long list of un-
authorized words and phrases which are in
common use, and are supposed to gives GER
tain zest for conversation, but which are
very far from being elegant. They are coin
ed in various places-in the boarding school,
in colleges in the store and in the street
One by one they enter the family circle, and
become disagreeably common. A man who
continually interlards his conversation with
words which the dictionary ignores, does
not, thereby, increase our regard for him !;
and when we hear woman habitually us
ing slang" we cannot but feel that
she is wanting in that deicacy and refine
ment which are the brightest ornaments she
can wear Indeed, it is very certain that the
frequent use of coarse and vulgar words he
gets disagreeable condition of mind which
may not be realized by the possessor, but
which is very apparent to associates.

An ExislpLE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF AD-
vERT1sINa.-Our merchants should bear it in
miud that the cotton crop is now creating q
comparative abundance OF money in the coun-
try, and TINT we have, therefore, entered the
period when judicious and liberal advertising
will yield rich returns. We commend to their
attention the followin-, which we copy from
the Marion Star, Of yesterday:
gentlemen stepped into our Office few
days since ana asked il We could direct him to
carpet establs hment in Charleston or Will
mlnston. Wo told him that we thought we
could. In vain we searched our Charleston
exchanges for an advertisement of IN essab-
lisbme;It of this kind. s'Is it possible" he
said, that neither OF those cities have carpet
store 2" They certlinly must. we replied, but
we can give YOU no positive information that
will direct YOU to thai class OF merchants.
just then orr friend picked up the New York
Mercantile Journal, and almost TIE first thing
he noticed was ''Carpetings at wholesale, Nos.
: II and 73 Worth-street," and he, without hesl-
tation, determined to send his order and
money to a commission m reliant in New York,
and make his purchase there, although his
Now the net profits OF this bill alone would
have justified any carpet merchant in Charles
ton or Will ninston IN keeping bis business
promin; ntly before the public for twelve
months, and the same advertisement might
have secured several similar orders. The
above fat needs no further comment from us.
We think that our Charleston merchants ought
,by this time to have learned the advantages OF
q liberal use Of printers ink.

ST. ANDREWS HALI.-The 81. Andrews So
ciety met last night, and among other subjects
the rebuilding of their hall, in Broad-street,
was discussed. The subject is, as far as we
can learn, yet in abeyance, but plans have beon
furnished by Mr. J. b. Devereux that will pro-
badly be accepted by the society. Mr.. Deve-
reux has presented design that is neat, taste
full and economical. He proposes to make the
front Of the building somewhat similar to the
former structure; but instead Of one fight of
stairs there will be two, one on each side Of
the main entrance. On the summit of the
building is highlander in bold relief and i'm
mediately below the bas relief o. q palmetto
stump, overgrown with thistlcs, and under all
the motto: me mo inpune lacessa." If the
hall is constructed on the plan furnished by
Messrs Devereux, the st. Andrews Hall will be
one Of the most Attractive buildings in the
city, and we hope the funds of the society are
sufficient to enable them to commence opera
tiOns at once.

length about one hundred and fifty miles by
fifteen broad, and extending on both sides OF
the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. These
lands laid out in large plantations can be
bou yht for q mere pittance.
All the roads leading to Charleston will pro
rate, and it is the determination of the mana
gers to throw tue cotton this winter into
Charleston. The East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad running east from Chattanooga has
not the capacity to do but q small portlon
OF the business
It is important that Charleston should have
a daily line OF steamers to New York. The
moment it is known at the West that there is
certainty Of putting cotton through Charles
ton, we shall have an immense business from
all the roads: but the business must be done
cheaply to meet competition. is understood
that parties are now in New YORK seeking t1e
proper arrangements.
Loaded cars leave any depot in the West and
come to Charleston without breaking bulk; but
in Charleston we are dependant upon drays.
1t is consi ered BY Western railroad men,
matter OF vital Importance that the cars should
deliver and receive their freight al the wharveS.
1t is not only matter Of money, but will cften
save from twenty-four to forty-eight hours IN
the transmission OF goods. which: in the pres
ent stlte Of competition, is an important item.
1t ls hoped that the South Carolina Railroad
may extend her load to the wbarves, or per-
mission be given By the City Council to MIR.
White to lay down O road under his charter.
The personal inter ,st OF a few citizens must
give way to the public necessity.
Respectfully submitted.

A New ENTERPRISE CHARLESTON GRAN
AND FLOUR DEPoT.-Among the various en-
terprises that the exigencies of the times have
demanded, there are few that will result in
more real improvement to the city than the
extension of the grain and Touring business.
Since the war this branch Of trade has receiv-
ed the attention Of some Of our most enter
prising merchants, and the facilities which
Charleston now enjoys in this direction are
greater in proportion to thu total amount u
the business Of the city than they ever were
before, and perhaps greater than in any other
city. Prominent among those who have de-
voted their attention to this matter, and have
combined the public good with their private
business, is the firm of Messrs. John Campsen
& Co. For long time engaged in the grain and
flour trade, they last year erected those extern
sive -four mills on Market-street, opposite State
street. which have since become so well known,
and at which some of the best flour known in
this market is ground. These mills are
now in full operation, and are supplying a
large city and country demand with good -four,
The machinery employed is OF the most inn
proved patents and on very large scale, thus
securing an accurate separation Of the different
grades OF -four, aud aHording an abundant sup
ply Of all to fill any demand that is likely to e1-
ist in this market for several years.
Messrs. John Campsen 4 Co. have more re-
Gently supplied want long felt by themselves
and the community, by establishing large
grain depot at the corner Of East Bay and
North Atlantic Wharf, where they are now re-
ceiving by railroad and steamers large quanti-
ties of all kinds of grain used in this market.
They are prepared, at the shortest notice, to
fill grain orders for home, consumption and ex-
port, and will supply the trade on the most
liberal terms. They grind corn meal and corn
flour as we'll as wheat flour; and any gu nifty
of either of these articles may be had, both at
the mills in Market-street, and the depot on
East Bay.
