of our People.

Mr.. Weed writes from Aiken, s. c., under
York Commercial Advertiser:
Four more weeks Of experience and obser-
walton serve to confirm my previously express
ed opinion of the healthful and healing iDfu
ences Of this climate. I see 30 many North
ern invalids improving in health and spirits
that cannot doubt that Aiken ID as desirable
O. locality for pulmonary patients as can be
found in Europe or America. Mr.. Oscar Coles,
OF New York, most intelligent gentleman,
who has travelled extensively, and who has
passed several winters in Southern States,
came here in December, and has fixed upon
Aiken as his future winter residence. Several
other New Workers havo purchased desirable
PLACES here. Mr.. Chamberlain, OF Albany, pur-
chased beautiful place in the centre Of the
village. with fine dwelling and highly embel-
lished grounds, peaches, grapes, &C., for $4,000.
This pJoperty situated in any village within q
hundred miles of Albany would hays brought
SIS 600 or $4,000. Mr.. McGeoree, Of Pough-
keepsie, who came hore with us, has purchased
two ucres in the heart OF the village, with
magnificent oak grove, for $500. We saw him
yesterday busily engaged IN preparing the
foundation for his future home.
Mr.. Wickes, Of Poughkecpsie, purchased o
plantation of six thousand acres, at very sat-
istactory price, yesterday. Sen islands, river
plantations, upland larms and village property
are offered throughout the State upon highly
advantageous terms. If Northern people knew
how cheap and fertile these lands arc, and how
desirable and pleasant residence in this
climate can be made, there would be stam-
pede, not OF 'scarpekbaggers" merely. but Of
permanent r. sidcnts from the North. Nor nced
aly be restrained by Ill apprehension that they
would be regarded as lntruders.
The war, doubtless, has lert it's wounds
deep and painful wounds-but they arc heal
inp. aud ere long. little but the scars will
the ne ople bear their losses with fortitude
equal to the courage which led them to hazard
oil in struggle which resulted disastrously. In
the six week. that we haze passed IN South
Carolina we have neither seen por hoard any
thing that led us TO doubt that intelligent
Northern people, with q sense OF what is due
TO others, as well rs to themselves can reaflly
cultivate agreeable business and social rela-
tions with the .ame class Of citizens in South
Carolina and Georgia.
