It was the sria! trip Of this huge brown
sided and greea.backed monster, and
| two accidents had already occurred, one
| detention by fire on the track, and one
run of, neither owing, however to tx
new caravan, yet as we stepped On its
platform, after viewing its great sides
aud length, and already acquainted with
| the mishaps Of the day, we felt scared
As the train moved, it was hard to real
ize 10 spite Of the elaborate decorations,
! an'. handsome and comfortable internal
arrangements, that We were not on the
inside Of some huge monster, q whale
perhaps which would roll over directly,
or plunge down, or some fearful bird
which might get frightened, and opening
its great wings, soar away with US. For
the first ten or fifteen miles it was im-
possible to feel easy, we never expected
to get back to New wberry, and but for
the Bobbing which bolstcrcd us on either
side-Bob Land and Bob Leavcll-whc
were unremitting with advice and cheer,
the Herald's unfortunate senior would
have gone back on nature. Courage being
finally infused, and finding that the Gus
scd looking thing did not ty, or roll over,
or anything Of that sort, and that 1t
really moved along with more satisfac-
ton than the old concerns, we took heart,
and enjoying it, arrived in Columbia,
spite OF the long detention, BY daylight.
Columbia is improving on every hand,
new dwellings and new stores every
where going up, but business, as it is
here at home, is rather fiat. Among the
signs Of improvement and advance is the
large addition being made to the store OF
the MeS>!s. hinard's, which, when com.
pleted, will make it second to none this
side Of Charleston. Success attend them
and all others who help to add 10 the
business and prosperity Of the country.
We were pleased to notice also that the G..

Mr.. Hardy Solomon 50 gracefully presideS
The change will be found a great CON

the officers of the road. The South Car.

is, as already mentioned, Immediately
underneath, and is handsomely fitted up,
cool and airy, and is doing good bust
ness, although so lately established
We found the offers all that we
could expect, pleasant and attentive.
We would like to give few particulars

and advice and general conversation was

who was out when we called, and who
consequently said nothing; Of Dr.. Z. E.

is being rapidly put together, and who
promises US the Grst block made. Some
doubts are entertained about his ice be- !

it should have; all these doubts VIC

Lastly as 10 Columbia, we had pleasant
