Every indication points to the attain

cotton. The recent firmn.ss and activity
In the market Is doubtless due to specu-

the crop is said to be the best and, best

PORT ROYAL AMI THE INTERIOR

Unless Port Royal means to content
hrrself with a mere trade within Stats
limits and not even commanding all of
that, she will put forth the utmost cxer.
tions to throw off the restrictions patron
lz'ngly imposed upon her by the Georgia
faii Road, and strike out an independent
course for herself. The first thing and
most Imperative is to push railroad
through Edgefeld County, and lower
edge of Abbeville crossing. the Georgia
Rail Road at Greenwood or "Ninetv.
Six " continuing in Air Limo for Asheville
VIA Spartanburg III. That would insure
continental communication at once and
offers such competition with the South
Carolina r. r. as would effectually pre.
vent disturbance by any future rivalry
The nextsthing is to connect Millen on the
Central Rail Road with some point on our
grand leading stem to tia ocean. The
third point is the Southern Pacific Raul
Road, whose terminus will necessarily
be at Port Royal, hut our concern should
be to insist upon its being so pushed into
the very heart of the Great West as to be
reached by their trunk lines The great
corn basin of the west demands an outlet.
at the least cost and with the slightest
obstruction. Port Royal has, clear advan.
eages in her hand which any of her rivals
may reasonably covet her. Business in :.
Varlably goes where it is burdened with
the least tribute, and it is cheap transpor
tatlon that is the key to that city's com
mercial prosperity whichscansoffer it. 1t
Is true that the trade Of the vast interior
Is to be ample in the future to feed the
prosperity tof whole line Of Atlantic
ports' but It is of great importance that
this one OF ours should make haste to
establish the commercial rank which it
intends to maintain. The reciprocal
advantages which our port will bestow
to the interior, will be felt aud appreciat-
ed by the influx of foreign population
which our steamships con bring to settle
up the waste places of the State, by tn.
enterprise it will infuse IN new branches
OF industry by cheap rates of freight un-
heard OF heretofore, and by enlarging the
valuation Of property by bringing itinto
market by new settlers. Combination of
capital and carriage are not wanting In
community so compacted as this.

some idea of how many there are l will
state that some of the professors at the
university, with their telescopes, made
some experiments on them. and found
that the grasshopper clouds were one
mile thick. and by the telegraph ascer.
tanned that they were four hundred miles
wide, and have been flying for five days
Mt the rate of one hundred miles per
day. So you can form an estimate of
their multitude; but person must see
them to believe. Last night shower
brought them down on us like hail
storm. In great many parts OF the
State where they have alighted they
have cleaned up every green thing
They have eaten up great deal here
since last night, aud If they stay through
the day we will not have much left
They are so thick that you can swing
your hat around and get it half full. The
crops are red with them, and our fair.
young State is in mourning. Yesterday
business was almost entirely suspended,
and the day was spent in fasting and
prayer for deliverance from this Egyp.

founder, Alexander Campbell, and dis

and polemical scholar, and the result
may be easily guessed. lie became, as
many such men become in the Church,
the founder Of a new sect and not sat
isficd with the executive work and con.
tests which this position entailcd upon
him, he necessarily sought occasion to
defend orthodox Christianity, or Pro.
testanism, against all corners. His pub.
lie debates with Owen and Bishop Pur.
cell, and his fierce attacks upon Com.
munism and Catholicism, interested the
whole religious world forty years ago.
His Scotch thoroughness made him a
profound scholar in his own lines of re.
search he was undoubtedly one OF the
best philologists the country has produ.
ced, while the same sincerity and antip-
athy to sham forced him to thrust aside
all mere dogmas and crceds. At the
time Of his death it numbered over 500.
