[jJ After a brief absence to the metropolis we ate ca, ngaiu si our post, with renewed elasticity of pliy- nu si'jue for tho wear and tear of our profession, even If not richer in ideas or woaltliy in experience. ** ' Charleston is full of bustle aud enterprise to strati- vo ger view, notwithstanding business men complain aji of dullness in trade. It is also much improved within a few years. New church spires shoot henv enward, while old ones are rejuvenated, and wear ;SJ the garish air of late coustruction. This speaks hit well for that home life shut out from casual visitors, *" and stumps n mo a! sentiment as prevalent in tho community. If the remark bo truo that the pro- an gross of church architecture indicates a high civilization, then will Charleston take runk with the first ' 1811 cities of tho land. jut Another pleasant featuro of Charleston is the cn increased hotel accommodations, and the improved external appearance of these homes for the wtiudcrcr.

The proposition was that Charleston should raise f two-th'rd* of the amount ($220,000, we believe) I and tho remaining third would be secured on the I line of road. The aesurnnoo was given that the amount would be promptly made up, and the com? mittce returned home. r Wo will not pretend to say that this road will : not bo built, but we arc satisfied that the late speech of Win. Gregg in the l<cgislaturo has awakened . some indifference and much oppositinu to the enterprise. A former Senator (who did more, pcrI Imps, to secure the committal of tho State to this work than any single man then in tho Legislature) 1 told us that he was perfectly satisfied if the blundcr made in cngnging tho State in this herculean , t;mk, and would he inoro than willing to give up r the $2,U00,0t)0, and all claim upon it, for release ' from further aid. llo coucurs with Mr. Gregg, , that it involves not ouly the building of the Hlue Ridge r.iad nt a cost of nt least {; 10.000,000, but an entire new road through to Charleston. This conclusion is sneered nt very unwisely by somo. | Consider for n moment that the South Carolina , and Greenville roads, worked to the utmost capacity of n single track, cannot keep their platforms clear of freight?indeed, that both roads aro overwhelmed with business?and where is the smallest chnnco of carrying oft* tho 500 tons' to daily freight expected on the illuc Ridge, besides two daily passenger trains.

"We hare no idea that polygamy, a* such, could induce governmental interference, because too many of our legislators sympathize very deeply in similar practices, however much they oppose the notorious recognition of the system. All attempt* to destroy this base fungus upon our civilization must be uo' by iudireot?not by direct assault. An issue will grow out of resistance to federal officer* or federal authority. Some pretext of this character, unknown to tho publlo, has already arisen, as wo judge fiorn the following action in the House of Bepresentutives, on the 19th ult: I "Mr. Morrill offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the President to inform the I House whether resistance, organized or otherwise, 1 had been made, or was to be apprehended, against 1 the official aullioiitic* of Uuh; and to communi- ( cnie all correspondence relative to the npp iiilinent ' or declination of office in the territory since Janua- 1 ry, 1852; mui whether the laws thereof ure practi ' cnlly administered with impartial justice to all the 1 inhabitants." * The independent course of Judge Drurnmond, \ in officially charging a jury against the erinte o' | polygamy, has doubtless led to resistanco, or threat cued resistance, of his authority; and some hope ' may therefore be indulged that this disgraceful state of thiegs will be checked or stopped alto- | gcther.
