The Sentinel says: "rhe effort now being
made to remove the courthouse to Blackvllle,
should arouse the citizens Of Barnweli to the
necessity OF making an exertion to complete
their railroad. Direct returns in dividends for
the amount of money invested is not the
incentive to attempt finishing the road. The
indirect benefits accruing from the saving OF
time and expense in transportation and travel,

occupied in hearing motions and passing Or
ders in various matters of unlltigated busl-
ness. The previous week had been entirely
occupied with the State cases and matters OF
unlitgated civil business. By agreement Of

The Press, in publishing the letter Of Attor
ney General Chamberlain, published IN THE
NEWS last week, says: ''Ar. Chamberlain states
that he was received with kindness and civility,

prepared to render tardy justice to the law
abiding and peace-loying character OF our
people"

We copy the following cheering information
about the Town Of GreenvIle from the Noun
talncor: "Busincss has very materially revived
during the past few weeks, and many OF our
merchants have reaped small harvest from
the influx OF currency brought into circulation
by recent sales Of cotton at advanced and re-
muucrative prices. Several new buildings are
in process OF construction, aud several others
in cont, mplation; old roofs are being laid bare
and new coverings placed over them; fences
are also being rejuyenated. and the Council are
busy in striving to clear up the streets, remoy-
ing trees that oh itructcd sidewalks, &C. Real
estate has already appreciated in price, we un-
