RApIpITY OF THOUGHT IN DREAM

RArID1TY OF THOUGHT IN DREAM
1Na.-A very remarkable circumstance,
and an important point Of analogy is,
says DR.. Forbes Winslow, to be found
in the extreme rapidity with which the

ra,her with which the material changes
on which the ideas depend are excited

oppear as if whole series Of acts that
would really occupy long lapse of time

as well as of time are also annihilated,

TIE APPROACHING STATE FAIR

TIE APPROACHING STATE FAIR
We hope that our friends Of the State
-asass- nj Il not .fsiI 70 keep this matter
prominetly before their readers. We
expect to have grand gathering here
on the occasion of the Fair. We believe
that Columbia enters fully into the spir'
it Of the occasion. Her municipal au.
thorities will do their part. The cit
izens generally will do theirs. Let US
have an industrial exhibition that will
give the promise Of brighter and better
times. Let every part Of the State do
its part. Let every County send its
contributions, personal and msterai. The
field to which we invite the good people
of the State is not the field of political
excitement, but the field of generous
and useful rivalry in the line ofin-
dustrial development. The question: is,
now, who is doing most service in the
cause of agriculture and manufactures,
and mechanics, and industry in general.
Other States are to have their Fairs, or
have had them. Let South Carolina
not be found in the rear. Let her join
the grand industrial columns Of the
great army of the country's workers.
She has made her mark in war, and re.
ceiyed her blows. Let her now make
her mark in peace, and receive its gen.
tie, useful and refreshing fruits. We
learn that ball and grand tourniment
are among the incidents to be expected
in connection with the Fair in November
next. We expect soon to have an
abundant supply Of the premium lists,
now in demand.-Columbia Phentr.

more liberal than themselves. Many

Mr.. Davis.

Some of the incidents attending the
arrival and sojourn of ex-P President j Jef-
ferson Davis in Baltimore, are striking
indicating the interest aud love in the
hearts of tho Southern people, that still
follow him who is the impersonation of
their "lost cause"
The Southern people know the un-
selfish fidelity with which Jefferson Da-
Wis sustained their sacred cause, and
they are justly proud Of the une1ampled
dignity with which he has represented
his people, whether as their chosen ru'
lcr, their vicarious martys, Or ss an exile
in foreign climes. Every courtesy
shown Mr.. Davis by foreigners has been
gratefully noted by the Southern peo'
pie, every distinction, accorded him, is
accepted by the South as an ascriptiou
of praise to her own virtues, of which
hc is the fitting exponent.
Remembering the unAinchiug, un'
muruluriug fidelity with which be de-
lneaned mselfthrough that four years
night, and recalling the bitter hatred
%
and unsurupulous mendacity with which
he was pursued, who can fail to contrast
him with those who were his accusors'

An enterprise destined to have an
important influence in developing the
resources of the South is now being
pushed to completion. Port Royal, s.
G., and Augusta, Ga, ITO miles apart,
are to be connected by railooad, which
has been surveyed, contracted for, and
partially constructed. The former place
contains incomparably the finest harbor
on the Southern Atlantic sea. boarC,
which has been suffered to lie too long
unemployed and comparatively unknown
Vessels drawing twenty-five feet of wa.
ter can enter it, and within the ample
estuary Of Broad River, the united ma.
vies of the world might ride atancbor.
The projected railroad will, it is antici-
pated, bring thither no small part of
the Southern and South eastern States,
and even of the Pacific coast. 1t will
also become an important cotton mart,
having 10 this respect signal advantages
over Charleston, Savannah, and Mobile,
whose harbors are closed TO vessels Of
ordinary draught, and therefore scarce
ly worthy of the name.
The completion ofthe railroad will
witness the foundation of what will pro-
badly become a prosperous city, and per-
haps the most important port OF the
South, with The exception Of New Or
leans. It's site will be not far from the
town Of Beaufort, and it promises to
become a more congenial place of resi-
dence for Northern men than most ofthe
Southern towns. Northern capital will
build it, as Northern capital isnow build
ing the projected railroad which is to
connect i: with Augusta, and to the same
agency the South may yet be indebted
for sea port equal in importance to the
great city which Jefferson once anticl-
pated "ould grow up at Norfolk.

81 will send to town Tomorrow" said
the Squire, ''and you shall have the
money before night. Will that do %
ado !" The tears stood in her eyes,
the reaction Of feeling was so intense.
You can not understand what it was tC
this woman, who loved her neighbor as
herself, who made his welfare, spiritual
as well as material, a personal thing, a
happiness, the business of her life.
She called in at Mr.. Hassent's on her
way home. There was no cheerful blaze
in the CRATE. Mrs. Hasent sat bolstered
up in bed darning stockings, while her
husband made the toast and tea, and
lighted solitary lamp. Mrs. Poore
looked about her and thought of all the
changes to come of the comfortably
clad children OF the warm winter fires :;
of the new suit that should replace the
shabby black Of the fathers; of porter
and patridges for the mother-and then
she bid them goodnight, and her glad
ness illuminated the path before her so
that she seemed to walk in monday.
She went about her work as usual the
next day, never allowing her gaze to
wander out expectantly, till sharp ring
brought her to her feet, with her nerves
all quivering in the flesh, as i the points
Of innumerable pins were stabbing her
through and through. 1t was the money
from the Squire, i'll crisp bank notes, the
full three hundred dollars - but what
else What was it that made Miss
Pooie's hand tremble like an aspen, that
sent the tears dropping slowly one by one
and made her flush and pale before this
scrap OF paper
"MY DEAR Miss CATuERINE-'The
stingiest man in North Grafton offers
YOU his hand and heart. As it is the
first time in his life that he has been
guilty of such generosity, pray encourage
him, and heal him of his infirmity
JOHN SUFFOLK"
And so Mr. Hasent's heart and home
were gladdcned with the six hundred
dollars, and this gladness rebounded up
on the Squire and Catherine Poore and
there was Il great wedding, for North
Grafton, in Mrs. Hasent's best parlor.
and every body had new gown for the
occasion, not excepting the hostess her
self, whose new gowns, were like angels
visitS-few and tar between.

closely into matters, Mrs. Adams's ten
dollar bill confirmed Captain Jackson'S
worst suspicious, and proved to be Il
counterfeit. Strange TO say, that gen
tlcman was 50 well pleased with this re-
suit that he tiatly refused to take back
his doubloon, as under the conditions he
would have been justified in doing. A
