peach orchard. 1t seemed to that peach trees dc
not grow well in this climate, or the people do not

/ Some years Northern shipments of fruit have been
quite satisfactory, but the quantities were small
Last year such men shipped few hundred pack,
| ages principally Of peaches and then stopped, and
the fruit TOted in the orchards. for in most cases
! there returns and IN some the shipper lost
the freight This year they are so discouraged that
they do not know whether they will ship at all but
much will depend the weather, for If unfayOra-
BILE the fruit commences TO rot by the time II reaches
! Charleston There two obstacles; one - the
great distance and the other boats leave Charleston
| only twice n week, and at such times TO make
| much of one shipment loss. One OF the boats
arrives in New-YOrk on Saturday and cannot be un-
loaded until Monday, which prevents the fruit from
| being put upon the market until Tuesday, and by
| that time the other ship comes.
| ] am surprised that these fruit and vegetable
| growers should depend upon New-YOrk, when there
are the four cities of Augusta, Savannah, Columbia
and Charleston, containing population OF at least
10000 within few hours transit. SO far as could
learn good fruit is grown nowhere else III the Gulf
States and 10 to me they ought 10 find good
market at home. A man from Michigan, living near
Aiken, showed me q strawberry bed less than lOO
realized $780, 1t is true that the people in those
cities arc at present poor, but "a few good cotton
crops will make money plentiful and then these fine
/ orchards and vineyards of Aiken ought TO bring
\ handsome returns E.CM.
