The Richmond State Journal says that the
promise of immediate business on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad is very large. Its
earnings on the disconnected portions will reach
this year nearly $l,000,000, without mineral
or through business from which its revenues
as completed road will be largely derived.
Coal mining, iron furnaces, rolling mills and
manufactures of all kinds will soon crowd Its
whole line; while the producing West and
manufacturing East are eagerly awaiting the
opening of this new trunk line, which is des-
tined to have so important an influence upon
the transportation of their products.

Speaking of the various proposed Amend.
meuts" to the Constitution, the Richmond
Wing says:-"It seems that during the pres
ent Congress no less than twen;y-six joint res
olutions have been introduced proposing
amendments to that Instrument. 1t is proper
to say that ali of these amendments do not
come from the Radical side. That side set the
example of tnkering the once vererated Con-
stitutiou, and others are beginning to follow
their example The idea of sanctity once con-
nected in the public MUD with that instrument
no longer exists. 1t is uprooted, and indvid-
uals aud parties have come to regard it as a
thing to be changed as their interest or conve-
nicnce may require.

There are few States which have made such
ample preparations for the care and support of

the last year on State account, for these pur-

in view of the crippled finances of the State is
creditable to. the humanity and generosity Of
the people. 1t is twice as much as the cost of

HUMOROUS INCIDENT. Now and then fun
ny incident occurs even in the sacred sanctuary,
one of which is related as having occurred in
one of our city churches on Sunday last. 1t
appears that an engagement had been made
with the pastor by which another minister,
personally unknown to him, was to fll the pull
pit. The pastor was in his pulpit in advance
of the hour for service, awaiting the arrival OF
his substitute, who reported not. At five min
utes past eleven. the pastor gave out the open
ing hymn, which was sung with JUNCTION, about
which time he recognized the father-in- law OF
the substitute. Descending from the pulpit,
the minister made his way to this gentleman
and asked the whereabouts Of Rev. -. The
gentleman, not desiring TO attract attention,
Simply motioued in direction in his rear. The
minister Immediately went to the person sup
posed to be Indicated, and invited him to the
pulpit, but he had approached policeman
Confused, he made for another man, who
turned out to be revenue collector At this
stage, the father-i1-law pointed out the sub
stitute, and the services continued. But for
many day it will create smile to think OF an
invitation being extended to a policeman or
revenue officer to occupy the sacred DESK

BURNING OF COLUMBIA, S. CA Wash,
ingtoD dispatch to the Louisville Courier Jour.
nal contains the following rather sensational
statement, and which requires further contor-
nation, before it will be believed
Gen. Sherman was examined before the
American and British commission to-day in
regard to the burning of Columbia. He de.
MED that he had issued orders TO burn Coum-
bia but admitted that the army was greatly
exasperated against South Carolina, and said
that this evaporation was increased by Gcn.
Hampton S rear guard firing into his camp a
night or two before entering Columbia, which
exasperation he and his officers participated in,
and this was known to the men. A corrcSpon-
dence was then shown to General Sherman,
purporting to have taken place between him
and General Halleck while on his march to
Columbia. The communication from Halleck
desired him to destroy Charleston and sow it
with salt, so that there might 10 more nuIliiers
or sece.sonsts grow up there. To this Sher-
man in rcpy wrote that Charleston aud Coum-
bia would soon be in his hands, and Halleck would
have no cause to com plain of his treatment to
them that he had the fifteenth corps with
him, and that corps did their work we'll !; and
further, that he (Sherlnan) would not spare
the public buildings in Columbia, as he did at
NIilledgevle Gen. Sherman admitted On ex-
animation that this correspondence was au-
thenic Gen. Sherman stated that he occu-
pied Columbia with the fifteenth corps In
reply to the question whether he kept the
men in the works after taking possession Of the
city, he said no he could not have done so to
have prevented the burning of every town in
the State of South Carolina. These responses
were drawn out by the representations of the
British claimants, who aliege that their prop.
erty at Columbia was destroyed wantoDly aud
