Mr. EDITOR: Facts are stubborn things

was predicated entirely upon the 'sfacts"
contained i'll the bill of charges rendered by
the South Carolina Railroad Company, land
which covers all sides.) The merchants of
Columbia never ask, or care, whether vessel
or railroad bring their goods as 'ballast" or
not; bnt they have the presumptive evil
dence, when they pay bills rendered. that
few vessels or railroad companies work for
nominal rates; at least, the company in
question do not intend to rest under the
imputation. Truth also knows, from past
experience, that "Merchant" never makes
charges without the necessary proof; and
further, that he has been ''caudid enough
to state all the facts i'll this case. rs can be
shown over "Truths" own, or clerks sig

Now for question What becomes of

cate, few days since, that the General
Superintendent of the South Carolina Rail
road Company had authorized him to say,
that the merchants of Columbia should be
placed upon the same footing with those of

hats and caps fancy wares and other light
goods, of which it is immatcrial whether
the rate is 100 or 200 per cent. more or less;
but 4th and 9th class comprise bacon, flour

DEAR SIR: have made chemical examina ton

DEAR SIR: The want of pure Wines and LIQUORS
for medicinal purposes, ha- been long felt by the
profession, and thousands of lives have been sac
rihced by the use of adulterated articles Delirum

sell under the name Of Aromatic Schiedam
Schnapps, which we consider justly entitled to the
anu from your long experience az a foreign inn
porter, Your Bottled Wines and Liquors should
meet with the same demand.
We would recommend you to appoint some of
the respectable apothecarics in different parts of
the city as agents for tho sale of your Brandies

same when needed for medicinal purposes.
Wishing you success IN your new enterprise, we
remain your obedient servants.
