THE EARLY RISING NUISANCE. I'VE do not
desire to be regarded as one who sets o bad
example for the rising generation, nor do we
fully endorse the sentiment of John G. SAKE,

about the seasons was because he did it at 40
A. NJ while lying in bed; but we freely ad-
NIT that the following facts, as told by the Sat-
urday Review, meet our cordial slpport, and
we are fully convinced of their correctness,
Franklin 'to the contrary notwithstanding :"
OF course to rise early is virtue OF the
highest quality, il you want to catch the first
railway train, or il you want to get through q
certain quantity of special work or correspond
ence before beginning the routine OF busi-
moss of the day. But who does not know 9
creature Of the assetic sort, who will toll you
at nine O'Clock, with invincible pharisaism, that
he has been up ever since six, has had his
breakfast ever 80 long ago, and that he cannot
him what be has been doing with the three
hours which his heroic fortitude has thus
given him. The chances are that he has been
doing nothing, except contemplating, in Brah-
mimic fashion, the beauties Of his own perfec-
tion and comparing tideni with the miserable
weakness of men who lie abed until seven or
eight O'Clock, because they know that there is
still hours enough in the solid day to use up all
their energies. On the whole, perhaps, q man
might as we'll be comfortably recruiting him
self in bed as stalking hlther and thither over
the house, round the garden, into the stable,
thinking all the time how good and great
being he ls because he goes in for hair shirts.
Eating and drinking give mon Of this temper
another fine chance, of which they never re-
fuse to avail themselves, OF donning the hair
shirts and the laurel wreath which they sup
pose to belong to it.

How FORTUNES GRow.--It i, astonishing
how enormously largo fortunes have increased
In this country within the last few years
When John Jacob Astor died, his wealth could
not have been estimate at more than ten mil
lions, and, as late as 1860, the wealth OF his
son, William 3. Astor, was not over twenty
millions. Now, we arc told, 1T is as great as
seventy-fivo to hundred millions. Stewart,
the dry goods tycoon OF New York, was barely
o millionaire ten Years ago now he is said to
be worth twenty millions; and hundreds Of
prosperous BUSINESS men in that great city,
who pos ,essed large fortunes In 1860. possess
fortunes i've or ten t mes as largo now. New
York exhibits, most strikingly, this process of
enormous increase inprivate fortunes, but the
same process is presented in nearly all cities.
Everywhere prudent, careful and discreet r1ch
men have grown immensely richer, and we can
present many examples Of colossal wealth
equal TO those IN Europe. A hundred thous-
snd dollars, ten years ago, was esteemed .
large fortune, and milhon was o rare and
conspicuous example OF success. Now. the
former amoant is esteemed . trlHe. and scores

The funeral of this distinguished citizen and
in this, his homo = took place on Wednesday
last. During the tuesday preceding, the body.
arrayed IN the splendid uniform which he wore
as Chief Magistrate of Carolina in her day Of

draped in mourning; and friend after friend,
and citizen after citizen, went to look for the
last time upon the noble and revered dead.
On Wednesday, our town and district poured
forth their inhabitants to do honor to the sac
occasion. SO much so that not only was tht
clu1ch crowded to it's utmost Capacity, bud
even the chufchynrd aud area il front were
thronged with sorrowful friends and fellow
citizens, all anxious to show their deep appre-
citation OF che departed patriot. The male citi-
zens, with the teachers and pupils of the seve-
raj schools, formed in procession, and recev-
public square. Moving from thence to Trinity
Church, tine procession was met by II v. e. Il.
Walker, officiating clergyman; and as he read
the introductory sentences Of the sublime
grand. solemn strains! of Beethoven's
Funeral March resounded through the
sacred edidce, mingling It's means with the
bitter plant OF human woe. So much of the
over. the vast congregation sang with one ac-
cord and deep feeling, that hymn OF comfort
and assurance, "How firm foundation We
saints Of the Lord;" after which the pail bear
citizens, passed down the aisle, bearing to the
grave the ilInstrious dead while the organ sob
bed out its low Miserere, and the mourning
concorrse slowly followed. After the conclu-
sion Of the services Of the church, the coffin.
covered with evergreens and flowers, was low
cred, and our unhappy State received into hsS
bosom all that remained of the grear, the true,
the loyal heart that had loved ana served her.
One most touching feature of this impress
siye funeral was the grief and lamentation OF
the crowd offormer slaves who Gocked to pay
the tribute OF respect to HIM who had been to

upper corners Of the church, with his white
head reverently bowed. was "Oid Harper" his
body-servant, whose love and faltnfuiness to

To the President and Directors of the South

GENTLEMEN-Efter serving, as well as know
how, for nearly quarter Of o century as
momber of your board, my feelings admonsh
mo of the propriety of this stop. The annual
elections are near at hand. and as it is my
fixed purpose to retire, beg that my resigna-

SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD COMPANY,
PRESIDENTS OFFICE,
CHARLESTON, S. c., January %, 1869.
Hon. alfred Ezuger, Charleston:
My DEAR SIR-I received with profound re-
gret your request to lay before the Board of
Directors your letter Of resignation.
1t is always painful to part from those with
whom our associations have been long and
kind, but from one who is revered and admired,
and from whose lips we have been accustomed
to receive the teachings that elevate the senti-
ments and enlarge the mind, tho separation is
both painful and depressing. Influenced by
these feelings, was reluctant to present your
resignation to the board, and finally complied
only in obedience to your wishes. In these
sentiments The whole board concur: and in the
following resolutions, proposed by your old
friend and colleague, the Hon. q. A. Trenholm,
and unanimously adopted, they have them
'Resotued, That in compliance with the
wishes Of the Hon. Alfred Huger, as expressed
this board is respectfully assented to.
"ReSOtUed, AS the unanimous sense of this
meeting, that in the long period of twenty-five
years, during which MIR. Huger has uninter-
ruptedly held seat in this board, his high
character aud able counses have at oil times
contributed essentially to the reputation of the
company and to the successful management Of
their affairs.
"ResolUed, That the president be, and he is
hereby, requested to tender the Hon. Mr.. HUI
ger travelling ticket for life over the several
roads of the company"
In transmitting these resolutions, as it has
been made my agreeable duty to do. avail
myself of the opportunity to assure you Of my
earnest and sincere sympathy with every senti-
ment they express.
And joining you in the patriotic wish for the
return Of prosperity and happiness to our State
and people, l remain, with great respect and
regard, yours, w. j. MAGRATH,
President.
