noon, We had the pleasufe OF seeing An
old acquaintance in perfectly new dress
Gar No. 8. belonging to Conductor
John w. O'Brien's train, which has been
thoroughly overhanled in the South Go,
rolina Railroad shops, under the super
vision of Mr.. John Reed. It has been
newly painted; the old roof superseded
by an elevated covering, with fancy-co-
lored lights and renovators; the upright
seats have been removed and reclining
chairs, of the pattern invented by James
G. Holmes, Esq, of Charleston. substi-
tuted, ample space being left between
the seats to enable lengthy mortals to
stretch themselves comfortably. It is
the intention, we believe, OF Superin-
tendent 81. T. Peake to furnish each con-
duotor with one or more of these i'm
proved conveyances. This was the first
trip OF the rejuvenated car, and Mr.
O'Brien assures US that his passengers
expressed themselves highly pleased with
it.

guest at the Nickerson House, and
many OF his friends and old army associ-
ates have paid their respects to him. The
General looks remarkably WELL He is
now resident Of the State of Georgia-
located in Savannah.
Mr.. Mckenzie has replenished his
usually large stock of French confec-
tionery, and has also added several new
varieties, which only require to be tasted,
to be brought into favor. Besides which,
he has extra fine. JUICY oranges. We
speak by uthority-having applied the
gauger's test. AS the market has been
completely bare of this delightful fruit
for length of time, this lot will not
long remain on hand.
We learn that on Sunday night, three
colored prisoners escaped from the peni-
tentiary, by cutting through the brick
wall from one cell into an unoccupied
one adjacent which was unfastened; the
guard was passed without discovery.
The individual who borrowed rail-
road out from the Pheniz Office, will
please return. Ditto Connor's specimen

that Neagle deserves credit. He wishes
to build up his own party organs, and
hopes to succeed by deceiving people
into carrying out his orders, issued with
out any justification in law, and thus
throwing money into the pockets of his
partisans.
"This Act, as will he seen by reference
to the third section, requires that every
agent or attorney shall publish the license
in some newspaper having circulation in
the County in which he resides, to be
designated by the Comptroller General.

General. That is all he can do under the
law, and we do not see how Neagle can
order the agents to publish their licenses
more than once. When, however, the
question is rs to the publication of the
annual statements, the law is entirely
different. The statements must be sent
by the companies through their agents
to the Comptroller General, and the same
Section has properly provided that the
agent must publish them in newspaper,
