ing at one glance the commerce of the citv
for the past year, with totals for the two
preceding years. 1t is compiled with much
care and accuracy, and can be relied on.
The business of Wilmington is increas-
ing. The prospective completion Of the
Nilmington Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad, and the Improvements at tie
mouth Of the river, nov in successful pre-
grcss, will add materially to our commerce
and population. Even during the present

general Improvement in the material indus
tries of this section Of the country.

WILMINGTON AND CoIt-MHrA.-Not-
Withstanding the fact that the Wilmington
! Columbia q Augusta Railroad has been
, open TO Columbia formore than two weeks
past, and tilat this is now the flush of the
cotton season. our merchants seem to haze
made but very little efisrt towards securing
the trade Of the rich section of country
/ through which the new extension Of tie.
; road now passes. In the nature OF things
there is bound to be much commercial i-
$ tercOurSe between the two cities, provided
efforts are made To secure if. 1t may come
to pass Ofitsclf. in the course Of time but
it viii probably be found more proIitatie
{ to our merchants to anticipate the course OF
. events, than to wait for their slow develop
q mcnt. Columbia is an inland city of great
o commercial Importance, and situated in Tia"
midst Of a rich cotton section. while VII

o outlet for the products of large portion g,
Q South Carolina. And it is not oniv TIA;
the products Of the country may be scstl
