t. Bailey's Varieties.
Since Friday night "Railcy's Varieties " hi
teen the amusemout of our people. Prior
eoming hero they had been at Greenville, win
their performances were so highly appreciai
- as to consume two of the nights designed
this place. Speaking of tho troupe, the Em
pritr says:
- ' "This troupe gavo their closing entcrta
tnent in our town last eveuing, being the cigl
one sinoe their arrival. The two last euterta
ntents wero given by request, and nil wi
largely attended. "Bailey's Varieties" lit
been, decidedly, the most, popular show "
our midst for sometime. Every entertainnn
jgave satisfaction. We have heard no compia
from any one in regard to tbem."
Having witnessed several of their perf
mances, wo can truly say that the equal
Bailey's Varieties is seldom met with ij\ tr
oiling Companies. The dramatic rcprcsch
lions are excellent; the dancihg superb ;
vocalisation respectable; the dissolving vie
beautiful. In short, as a whole, here we hi
had nothing comparable to it, as a quiet, urn
ceptionable amusement; and consequently
patronago wan good each night.
Thajr closo this evening, we learn, to paj

under a system of economy which strikes down
the weak ratal routes, reduced this route, otict

The political exigency of the day is the election
of the next President. It gives me grout
pleasure to find that South Curoliua, with lici
usual promptness tind unotiimity, made hei

the same quiet course in reference to it, thai
she hassolujig pursued It never was a soundct

knows where she stands, and the whole intlu
euce of her undivided support of Messrs

she says nothing, as it would bo were slit
ever so Tociferous; while tiny departure
from tho course 4ho lias so long followed nn<
any unusual expression of interest perhaps
would be damaging to the candidates of liei
choice, South Carolina is notoriously chnrget
with disunion proclivities, and the cliarge can
not be well denied, though really it is not trui
in regard to a Constitutional Union. It ii
loudly proclaimed that the ticket she support:
is therefore a disunion tickm, and any inicont
nton effort in its behalf on Iter part will huvi
the effect of sustaining this cliarge.

We received yesterday, through the courLcs
of a friend?a highly influential gentleman <
Sumter, a pamphlet copy ot the proceedings t
the Hishopville and Sumter Kailrnad Con vet
tion, in relation to the Central Kailroad i
South Carolina. It is neatly printed at th
oitice of the Sumter Walrkmnn.
This is an enterprise that we believe to be n
less wisely than boldly projected. 11 will suf
serve many important and valuable interest:
nud accoiumodato an extensive tract of th
State, embracing productive, energetic, refine
and liberal spirited communities. Wc <lo nt
aee that it will materially injure any existin

with the rich valleys of the West, either by th

these connections be opened, the Central Rtii
road will prove to have beon judiciously plan
ned, with reference to the aid it will give ou
proaenl roads, in hearing Western products t

male ol the crops of the Northwest;
Illinois has grown not a husbol of wheat
short of'JO,(MM),000, ai.d lndiniia about 18,UIH),- ,.
000. The wheal crop of Wisconsin will exceed ,
17.Immi.ismi. Inwa. 14,tKiO.I)tNtt Minnesota,5,000- (
Mill, and Michiguu 8,000,000. Your estimate
ot i ihio. 2IN10.000, is about correct; but many
of her best informed citizens think that her
crap will reacli 28.0QO.OUO. Thus yon perceive
that the seven Northwestern 8tat s have produced
11 saw,Mm:, bushels of wheat. The surplus
that cnti be spared from Illinois, Indiana, t
\\ iscoii-iu, low a and Minnesota, alter keeping t
abundance for ln'ead nnd seed, will he half their
whole crop, ft your jieoplc In the South are I
likely to bo destitute of Jr. cad, lliey o:?n draw V
on tiic I'rauto Htnte" fur wheat enough to (
make two millions of barrels of llour, and shall I
si ill lutvu eiuiiigb to spare. As t<> corn, our I
Stale will produce 1 o0,00W,t)0tl bushels. An I
ordinary crop would be IJo.OOd.tNHt. You i
