To nharIaston and Rack Again,

Twenty miles, said the conductor, to an
Irishman, who once asked the distance OF
his journey. Cara, then" said Pat, to his
companion. land its enly ten miles for each
of US, to be sure" And so it is, genial COM
panionship always shortens distance in tra-
vel, doubles pleasure and divides sorrow.
The end of the journey arrives ere we know
it, and one finds himself abruptly breaking
q feast of reason,' or perchance, a flow Of
SOUL constrained TO snap the thread OF
happy discourse, to turn If from the piquant
sallies, witticisms and bagatelle Of the pleas
ant tourist and compagnon voyage.
And such was the condition of things last
Wednesday evening, as party Of gallant
Ncwberrians and Unionites met aboard the
night train of the S. G. r. r. bound for the
Metropolis. Among them were two or three
celebrated bulls and bird" " escaped from
his covert. The bulls were going down
among the bears. There was golden at
traction below for some of them, and right
pleasantly sped the hours away. The bird
sang sweetly, regaled the company, was at
tentive and polite to way (lady) travellers,
entertained contract to supply government
with empty oys:er cans, to be used in the
! manufacture of parrot Shells. &C., and then,
strange to say, INDUCED in supper Of
'doings and fried fixings,' and made up in
part of suspicious sausage, (thought to have
had as an ingredient, the sulphate of bark
or canine,) oyster pateS, sardnes, chicken
| and pound cake, together with various ct
ceteras, and the whole washed down by a
bowl of-hot coffee, in which the dregs of
creation must have been mingled. The po-
| silion he afterwards occupied was very
critical overwhelmingly. He fell asleep,
tho but snored so loudly that he woke him>
self up; falling into another snooze and
snore, one of the party almost succeeded in
playing yankee doodle upon his nose.
Arriving in Charleston, these irrepressib!e
| Newberry bulls went among the bears and
fought it out TO the time of SIS, 900 Or $780,
600, purchasing, in lots, over thousand
bales, and disposing of the same together
with previous transactions, at premium of
from ten to eighteen dollars per bale. One
| lot purchased was rise Of four hundred
| bales. ihc Charleston cotton market on
Saturday afternoon was the most excited
that we had seen in a long time. Many Of
the sales were effected without samples. The
market closed that night in jubilee-bo;h n
buyers and sellers satis6ed-the former with
the certain prospect of further rise, and
the latter with their successes. Much of the
cotton bought by Ncwbery. was from the
''jasgers," and to them re>sold.
That's the way to buy-wheD the markets
little dull, at all events ere the staple has
reached its maximum, for afterwards some>
body'll be hurt. Buy when you may make
a profit, buy largely, create an excitement,
and then 'puSh things.
Our round trip and stay in the Queen City,
though hut of day or two was very pleasu-
rable, and had We time and space, might
present many interesting items 10 our read"
ers. But more anon. suffice it that every
moment was a key moment, frausht with
! interest land redeemed with data upon which
to build: Intelligence was conveyed to us
Saturday afternoon, that those desiring to
reach home Sunday morning, should repair
to Columbia by the night train, as a kind
and thoughtful director and distinguished
legal citizen, remembering that Newbcrry
was extensively abroad bad got The cou;cous,
ubiquitous and energetic superintendent OF
the G. & G. r L. 10 provide 4 special train
and in 40 minutes trunks were packed and
the bulls and the legal fraternity, and q
sprinklng Of the press were pressing tc-
ward their ohjcctive points, which they va
riUusly rsaehed in due time.
