RoAD.-We learn that Col. Johnston,
the President of the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad, intends establish
ing regular night train on that roadj id
short time. The train will be put on
to meet the requirements of tho heavy
Northern passenger traffic which the
Charlotte Road expects to get for the
next three or four months. The night
train on that road at present, is what is
known as an accommodation train; the
passenger coaches are attached to the
freight cars, and the train travels very
slowly. The new train will have regular
sleeping coaches attached to it, and will
leave Augusta about 6 o'clock in the
evening, Columbia about II, and arrive
in Charlotte at o'clock the next morn
ing, making close connections Mt each
terminus.
PALACE PASSENGER CAR.--We had the
pleasure, yesterday morning, of cxamin-
ing new passenger car, which has just
been completed for the Greenville and
Columbia Railroad Company, by the
Jackson & Sharp Company, of Whining
ton. Delaware. It is q beautiful piece
of work-the finest in the South, wo
verify believe. The car is Of the moni-
tor pattern, sixty feet long, aud will
comfortably seat sixty passengers. The
ceilings are fresco limitations; the panel
ings of maple, relieved with walnut, ash
and oak; the flooring alternate pieces of
ash md walnut; the seats are covered
with red and green plush, and are very
mfortable-secured by q lock, so that
it is impossible to turn them without a
key. The great advantage of this car is
the superior ventilation; the windows arc
broad and high, besides which, there nre
improved ventilators in the ceiling
Tasty bundle and umbrella racks adorn
the sides of this beautiful conveyance.
Kerosene is dispensed with--candles
being used in tastily- frames,
with globes. This car is an evidence OF
what the new company contemplated
complete overhauling of the road, ma
chinery, etc.-to bring it up to first
class rating. President Bush and Super
intendent More mean business. The new
cor will be run out in few days.
CRUMBS. Ground has been broken in
Wayne street, by the Charlotte, Colum-
bia and Augusta Railroad, for the pur-
pose of connecting with the Greenville
Railroad. The Wilmington, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad will soon follow
suit, when it is contemplated to erect q
vast freight depot, and, we presume, o
passenger depot, also.

mated by coating them with gum arabic
