CHICAGO AND CHARLESTON.

Chicago rs town was fifty years old
on Friday. She started business as a
corporate entity with q population of
three hundred and fifty souls and one
hundred and fifty frame houses. Her
frame houses have given place to palaces
Of marble, granite and brick; her popu-
lation is over half million, and her
resources practically unlimited. The
world does not show another instance of
any such rapid progress in all the ele-
ments that go to constitute great me-
tropolis.
Charleston was one hundred years old
on last Monday, and yet she has not
attained one-tenth the growth of her
younger sister on the lakes. In posi-
ton to command large portion Of the
trade of the South, she has attracted
very little of it, and of late has allowed
considerable territory to slip from her
grasp without making any special efforts
to retain it. Charleston, however, has
been impeded by slavery before the war,
and misgovernment and corruption to q
ruinous degree since the war, until re-
Gently. She now has an excellent city
government, and has begun to develope
her resources in manufacturing. If she
could only obtain little more Yankee
push il business. and look after her
railroad connections before her opportu-
mites pass from her, she would soon be.
come tie Queen City of the South. We
would like to see old Charleston the
leading commercial port of the South
Atlantic, but to become such nhe oug'

field to Aiken. These roads could be
constructed at very reasonable sum,
and Charleston ought TO contribute
towards it herself, and induce the South
Carolina road to do so likewise. BY this
means she could reclaim the trade of
upper Carolina. If she does not do so
other communities will, and in less than
five years she will be almost shut out of
the little trade that is now left from
these parts of the State. A little of
Chicago's public spirit and enterprise

= The Spartanburg Spartan says
The condition of half the farmers of cur
county 10 truly pitiable. In the burnt
sections there are hundreds of acres OF
corn that will not make bushel to the
acre. The uplands are cut off even in
the neighborhoods favored with rain.
Many felds Of cotton are not six inches
high and the growth ceased several
weeks ego. The present outlook indi.
Gates only two. thirds of cotton crop,
even If rain shonld fall this week and the
balance of the year be favorable for ma.
turing and gathering the crops. Should
rain hold of two weeks longer It is prob.
able that the crops will not reach half of
last year'a yield. It is too early, howev.
er, to estimate the cotton crop, for; it
nearly always deceiyes one. Ono thing
Is certain, though, and that IL many OF
our farmers are suffering from the sever:

Dcpopulating ireland.

LONDON, August 1O.-The Standard
this morning says that tho Government
has decided to provide an additional sum
Of f100, 600 to aid Irish emigration, the
money to be taken from the British
exchequer instead Of from the Church
surplus fund. A meeting in favor of
State aided emigration was held at the
Mansion House to-day. The Earl of
Shaftesbuiy presided. A resolution was
offered providing for sending 100000
persons to Canada and other British
Colonies. nnd for procuring them farms
in their new homes, the money for the
purchase Of land to be advanced by the
State, which is to take mortgages on the
farms as security for payment. The
resolution, which was supported by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, was adopted.
1t is proposed to send 10000 families to
Canada next spring.

Special reports to the Savannah
Morning Nc,cs from As counties in Geor.
gia and Florida upon the condition of
the cotton crop, state that the drouth
has been generally broken and the out.
look is brighter. There Is some fear OF
rust and damage by worms and cater
pillars in some counties. The prospects
in Florida are better than in Georgia,
owing to the more frequent rains. Ca.
terpiliars are numerous in the latter
State. Picking has begun to limited
extent. Labor is generally in good sup.
ply.

emphatically rcpudiatcd that interview,

called to account upon it, and we see no

The announcement by the Ncwberry
Observer upon good authority" that
while Senator Hampton would prefer to
retire to private life, $50 that he could
devote more time to his private business,
yet while the people want his services he
is at their command" is taken as an in,
dication that Senator Hampton is willing
to he his own successor in the Senate
This il all nonsense. If Governor
Hampton wants to be reelected to the
Senate he ought TO come out like man
and say so, but if he really has private
business that it would better promote his
interests to attend to, let him stand aside
and permit some Of the equally able ant
patriotic men in our State to enter the
race for the Senatorship. The people o
our State honor Hampton, and doubles!
as long rs he wants to be Senator nnt
represents the sentiment of the people
he can continue in the Senate, but wt
think the people like him too we'll te
force him to neglect his private affairs te
represent them in the Senate. This
style Of political dactylics will not serve
Senator Hampton in this case, for he il
not better Senator than Judge Wallace
Col. f5imonton. Gov Thompson or Judge
Kershaw, or dozen other men in tht
State would make, and there is no reasor
why the State should force him to make
a sacrifice 10 serve her. Let us have nj
more of this gush. If the Senator wants
to continue in the Senate he can be re
elected without opposition, but if hi
does not, then we arc in favor of reliev
ing him and sending Judge Wallace. OF
