be confounded with the ordinary ourlesque
troupe which visits Southern cities. 1t Is, IN
truth, an opera company, with strong staff OF

in Savannah they created musical and dramat-

TAIL MERCHANTS oF'CHARLEsToN.-The paragraph
below, which we take from the Wilmington Jour-
nal of Thursday, suggests some ideas worthy OF
reflection. If the merchants Of Wilmington can
afford to pay for o train on the Wilmington and
Charlotte Railroad out Of the profits made from
600 excursionsts, surely the merchants OF
Charleston could pay for trains on the GreenVille
and Columbia, Charlotte and Columbia, and South
Carolina Railroads from the profits to be made
from as many thousands. The "good feeling and
mutual regard" too, OF which the Journal speaks
certainly need to be much encouraged between
the people OF Charleston anG the people Of the

the experiment, it would nevertheless accomplish
