Wisdom, from, tho wes:.

In the ,CAieaaoan wo find Il long and
ably written letter from Mrs. j. Il. r.,
ON the results of her late Southern ex-
perience. Mrs. r. is a sound thinker
and honest writer. We regret that space
will permit MS only to make extracts
from the letter. Speaking of Sambo
supremacy, the writer says:
cit does seem to US hard and ont OF
place that proud. pure-b flooded, whole
souled white men should be ruled even

origin, who arc untitled for the position,

Ignorant field hands, who were not even
fitted to cultivate the land without an

persons know about making laws, even
for themselves? We would take the
same ground in this Us we do in regard

educated to perform all those duties per-

The City Oh Columbia VS.. VeIooipedes.


MIR. EDlroE: In TN ordinance passed
by the City Council on the 10Th instant,
Section Q is rs follows: "No pcrson shall
ride velocipcdc, or apheel q barr o,o, or
hand-cart along tue pavcmcnts Of the
city, undcr penalty Of fivo dollnrs for
each and every offence" Our city
fathers pppear 10 be getting wonderfully
zealou@ for The good order and pros
pcri!y OF our city, bHt they seem to be
laboring unticI q mistaken impression as
to the size OF Colnml,;a. They certainly
must think thc population Of this place
three times as large as it really is. and
for tho purpose of protecting pedestrians
upon our crowded pavements, thoy have
imposed This ordinance upon us. The
only persons who have suffered any in
convenience from wheel barrows are the
draymen and large merchants who keep
horses and are displeased that any other
merchants should be at q less expense by
using wheel barrow There are many
families in our city who have constant
use for wheel barrow, and, to force
them TO the useless expense of hiring q
dray in the present pecuniary condition
Of our country, is unjust. The streets
are still open for wheel barrows, but it
would be very difficult to roll loaded
one over the exceedingly sandy streets
and rough drains; besides, the dauge
both to the roller of the wheel barrow and
to any one who should drive horses, for
the wheel barrow is, q notorious horse
scarer. If wheel barrows are such IN in-
convenience to pedestrians as to require
this ordinance for their protection, why
did not the Council, in its zeal. include
baby carriages, inasmach as they are
equally dangerous and much more nu-
nerous? Ii the City Council is dcsirous
to promote the interest and convenience
of the citizens, the best manner for them
to evince such n desire is to repeal this
exceedingly Objectionable ordinance.

The blood is the great nutritive fluid
It's Office is two-fold 1t provides mate
rial for the regeneration of all parts, and
receiving the products of their waste, it
conveys them to proper organs for re-

life to the body, and removing therefrom
effete matters, it carries off the seeds of
disease and death. Pure blood is, in
fine, the great nntritive element of the
body, the great nourisher of the tissues,
the very life of the flesh, tho very es-
sence Of health. HEINIrsu's QUEEN DE-

The Greenviile and CoIambla Railroad.
We are gratified to be able to state,
upon authority, that the suit in the
Court of Equity, which has been pend
ing for more than two years past against
the Greenville and Columbia Railroad
Company, by certain holders of their
first mortgage bonds. has been settled,
and that the suit viii be Withdrawn at
the present term OF the Court.
The parties who have come forward
and settled with the company, and con-
sented to the withdrawal Of the suit, are,
as we are informed, Thomas j. Robert
son, John Caldwell, Robert N. Lewis,
Thomas @. Perrin, executor, and Charles
Smith, of the original complainants in
the bill, besides others who entered the
suit as parties complainant after tho suit
had been commenced.
This will be gratifying intelligence to
both the stockholders and bond holders
OF this corporation. 1t has certainly
struggled manfully, and with : ,cess
almost unparalleled in the history of rail
roads, since the war, to place it's finances
in o satisfactory condition. The last
cloud that has cast shadow upon its
prosperity has now been dispersed, and
its future must be marked by eminent
success, and the road itself o general
blessing to the whole State.
We understand, also, that the July in
terest upon their first mortgage and
guaranteed bonds.will be promptly paid
at maturity. This will also contribute to
increase the confidence of their credit
ors, and in very short time we expect
to see their bonds quoted in the market
as commanding as high price as the
best securities in the State, which posi-
tion they should, in our opinion, Justly
occupy.
). The Board, with great sagacity and
acumen, arranged the terms OF settle
ment, one which was at once advan-
tageous and satisfactory 10 all parties
concerned. The road is fortunate in
possessing u President, SO eminently
fitted for the complicated duties and po-
sition of his Office. TO his iact and
acute solution Of difficulties the compro-
mise is airly'athibutablc.
The Grcenyillel Railroad, under lis
present able President, supported by his
active and oificicr: Superintendent, Mir.
Meredith, and tried aud competent en-
ployees, has every prospect OF success.
1t is one of tae arteries supplying Co.
lumbia with trade and business, and We
are pleased TO believe that, DOW that the
present troubles are renewed, viii attain
the success to which, by able man;,ge-
ment and location, it certainly deserves.

The Posi- OFFICE CoLoRED CLERKS. =
The rumor mentioned in the Courier.
some time since of the appointment of
colored clcrks in the post Office at this
place, has ut length assumed tangible
shape, and in few days the appoint
ments will be made. The gentlemen to
be discharged have served in their posi-
tions with credit and fidelity, and are to
be discharged for no fault of their own.
1t Is probable that the new appointments
are to be made simply to satisfy the in
ordinate lust after Office that has charac-
tcrizcd the colored man since his eman-
cipation, and that it was meditated at
the ro-appointment of the present post
master. The names of the nppointecs
are N. Montgomery, formerly barber,
and - Smith, both light colored. We
live under Republican Government,
and this is one of the sweets of Repub-
licanism. One is almost tempted to shout

Fusil oil, of which so much is said in
connection with liquor authorizations, is n
liquid. colorless when pure, OF offensive
smell and burning taste, obtained by
continuing in the distilling process after
the alcoholic portion is drawn of. It's
action upon tue animal system is that of
positive poison, its vapor producing
nausea, headache and giddincss. Its
presence in liquors is highly injurious,
and indicates bad distillation, or the use
of damaged grain. 1t may be detected
by agitating the liqnor with water, and
leaving it to stand for the oil to rise TO
the surface. One drop Of fUsil oil kills II
rabbit in four minutes.
