INTERESTING LETTER FROM sOUrI
CAROLINA.

NAnOAANh'
rha. veteran Northern editor and pol
itician, TEurlow Weed, new temporarily
resident at the South for the benefit Of
his health, writes the following inter.
estng letter to the New York CONNER
cial Advertiser, dated Aiken, South
Carolina, February 10Th
| Four more weeks of experience and OBJ.
servation serve to confirm my previously ex-
pressed opinion of the heal,hful and heal
ing Influences of this climate. l see so
many Northern invalids improving in health
and spirits that / cannot doubt that Aiken
is as desirable locality for pulmonary pa
| tients as can be found in Europe or Amer
lea. Sea Islands, river plantations, upland
farms and village property are offered
throughout the State upon highly advantage
Gus terms. If northern people knew how
| cheap and fertile those are. and how desira-
BILE and pleasant residence in this climate
can be made, there would be stampede,
not Of carpet-baggers merely, but Of
permanent residents of the North. Nor
need any be restrained bv the apprehension
that they would be regarded as intruders.
The war, doubtless, has left its wounds
deep and painful wounds-but they are heal
ing, and, ere long, little but the scars will
remain. There is wide spread restitution,
but the people bear their losses with forti-
tude equal to the courage which led them to
hazard all in struggle which resulted dis
astrously. In the six weeks that We have
passed in South Carolina We have neither
seen nor heard anything that leads to
doubt that intelligent Northern people, with a
sense of What is due TO others, we'll as to
themselves, can readily cultivate agreeable
business and social relations with the same
class ST citizens in South Carolina and
Georgia.
