 Another start contemplated was made for Charleston, s. c. Another three hours de- tention was made easy by the good compan- l ionship of New York paper in the parlor
 car. At 10 D. m. Charleston was announced.
 The occupants of the car were soon in the l Charleston Hotel supper room doing ample justice to the plentiful abundance of said ho- tel, which all travellers know is well supplied 1 with the choicest of the Charleston market.
 The marketEs composed of series of build ings open to the air, say about two thousand l feet in length. A Saturday evening stroll

 to make ourselves at home, etc A three days rest and recuperation being had. the announcement that Rev. Mir. Sawyer was to be ordained deacon in the St. Marks church. the first colored preacher ever ordained in South Carolina by the Episcopal Church. was

 race, and very many would not be suspected
 Of being colored if among white people
 The Rev. Mir. Sawyer looked more like an
 Italian than of negro descent. If the part
 he took in the ceremony had been in st.
 Pauls he would not have been considered as
 belonging to the black race This is one
 step forward. Many others are being taken.
 Newspapers and people are beginning to
 speak of the desirability of more cosmo- politan population. One case brought To mT
 notice illustrates improvement in the feeling.
 A gentleman formerly of New York, not vel
 comed nine or ten years ago, by his determi-
 nation to succeed made his mark, won the
 confidence of the Charlestonians, was suc-
 cessfui in business and made friends of all classes. When he died not long ago his ob- sequies were marked by more genuine respect by the citizens than has been awarded to any one for many previous years There are some old fossils yet alive who want old time styles to exist; but they grow fewer and few CT. The moment any people are fully as- sured and understand that it will be and is for self interest to accept even the man who hon. sstiy labors for his living self interest will rule There is great exaggeration both north and south respecting the feeling of one toward the other. There is, however, only one way to make matters work right; that is, allow a man to be a man wherever he is. Give him the privilege of thinking for himself and to speak his own mind. This privilege, fully accorded, would long ere this have filled the southern country with men and capital The lands of the South, valued at a mere song, would have been magnifed in value by smaller ownerships if such had been encour- aged during the past fifteen years. En- couragements are now being held out, but capital and people are fearful. Railroad enterprises are gaining favor, as one of the and perhaps the great est, means of gaining population and open ing fields are inducements for business. companies are being organ ized cotton mill is now protected for Charleston with $500, 900 capital, and stock is being subscribed. The city appears as if gaining in business. Some reiuvenating is taking place, but there is not much building The ''northeaster'' has reached us though not in rain, but wind and cold Dust flies in clouds. The steamer for New York put out this morning; passengers who started re- turned to dine at our tables, as the captain thought it imprudent to go outside the bar
 Charleston, with New England taste, could be made into beautiful city, so much ground ngs. Probably when the city becomes moro wealthy these places will all be improved &C., ,ording to modern taste, as public parks, etc. The Battery, corresponding nearly with the Battery in New York, is susceptible of being made a popular resort The arsenal grounds md many other places if made attractive, would create a great reputation Hotel ac- ample, but 1.-The Charles on" is the best place for anyone who can afford 0 pay. The old-fashioned time races, it is 'aid, are going to be reintroduced this week. 0n the whole, I see improvements in the present and future of Charleston in fact and n sentiment. M.
