MFR. Weed writes from Aiken, s. c., under
date OF the 10th ult.. to his paper, the New
York Commercial Advertiser
Four more weeks Of experience and obser
vation serve TO confrm my prev .ously EXPRESS
ed opinion Of the healthful and healing iuflu.
ences OF this climate. I see so many North
en lnvalids improving in health and spirits
that cannot doubt that Aiken Is as desirable
locality TOR pulmonary patients as eau be
found in Europe OF Anerioe. Dir. Oscar Coles.

places here. Mr. Chamberlain, OF Albany, pur-
chased beaut full place IN the centre Of the
village. with u file dive ling and highly embol-
lishe1 grounds, peaches. grapes, &C., for $4,000.

plantation OF six h )usaud acres, at very sat-
h.iactorH price, yesterday. Sea islands, RIVER

how cheap aud fertile these lands are. AMI how
desirable and pleasant residence in this
climate can be made there would be q stam-
pede, not Of '.carpet,baggers" merely. but Of
permanent sidents from the North. N ,r need
a y be restrained by all apprehension that they
would be regarded as Intruders.
The war, doubtless, has lett it's wounds
deep and painful wounds-but they are heal.

relnaina There il widespread dastltution; but
the people bear their losses with fortftude
equal to the courage which led them to hazard
