What is to Become of Charleston.
The New York Times says in its correspondence:
4 'The Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company have agreed with the Port
Royal Railroad Company to endorse one
million of the first mortgage bonds of the
latter company, and the Georgia Company
have also taken SI,250,000 in the capital
stock of the Port Royal Road. This
arrangement obviously secures the success
of the Port Royal Road, and at the same
time gives the Georgia Road,, with its
extended Western connections, an independent
outlet to the sea. The combinain^ltides
a control of the Savannah
IIVU
and Charleston Railroad, by which (as a
fiance at the map will show) the Port
Royal Road has three Atlantic termini,
viz : Port Rt>yal, Charleston aod Savannah.
Port Royal being greatly superior
as a harbor to either of the others, and
being twenty* seven miles nearer to
Augusta than Charleston or Savannah,
will probably soon become a great cotton
port, as it has already become a great
lumber port. As the Georgia Railroad
Company is a very wealthy corporation,
having assets to the value of over six
millions, with a line of 232 miles of road
reaching from Augusta to Atlanta, with
three branches, upon which there is a
bonded debt of less than $000,000, these
endorsed bonds must be desirable security."
What will our railroad magnates say to
this? If Port Royal is to become a great
cotton port, what will Charleston become?
Can Charleston spare any of her people or
trade, or will the defunct South Carolina
Land and Immigration Society make up
the difference? By the way, what has
become of the million or two emigrants
that gift enterprise has lime juiced to
come here?? Charleston Republican.

A history of "The Underground Rail*
road"?from slavery to free soil?by
William Still, * Chief Engineer" of the
* Philadelphia route, is to be published
shortly.
For many years Mr. Wm. Stlil was
clerk to the Anti Slavery Society of Pennsylvania,
and as a trusted servant o that
organization he is ful'y acquainted with
the operations of that famous Railroad,
without ties, sleepers or rails? though it
was tireless, sleephssand paid little attention
to railers. We have known him
from childhood and are glad that be is to
give to the public a history so fraught
with interest not only to the colored race
but to the American people.
The Holly Tree Coffee Rooms have
grown into an institution in B mbra and
deserve to be known ?lo where. The title
is an attractive one taken from D ckens"
"Ilol'y Tree Iun." In iht ir management
all intoxicating liquors are dispensed with,
their places being taken by ?xcelleut tea
and cotfee. Ouce a month eveuiug partus
of ladies and working women meet to
' ~ # * 1 All r?
gemer ior social eni??yraeut. ah ucquenters
find there the daily papers aud
and standard works of literature to be
read free of charge. The bill of fare
comprises tea, c >flee, bread and butter,
meats, shups, chowder, pies, excellent in
quality and cheap in price.
The New York Evening Mail says: The
Territorial Legislature of Colorad?>just adjourned,
passed a bill dispensing with the
tax leyy for the current year because the
treasury was already supplied with'sufficient
funds. The Arcadian simplicity and
happiness of a spot of earth where a public
debt is unknowQ. and where the tax
gatherer coaieth not, is something that we
have dreamed about, but believed to be
beyond the possibility of rea ization.
Think of a public treasurv with unstolen
funds enough in it to support the government
for a year! It is among the things unseen
and not to be hoped for.
Nast has blundered. In the last Harper
he has a cut entitled "Here!" the explanation
being "New Hampshire heard
xrom," ana tne turtner description 01 tne i
idea being this: "The True Military
Ring!" It represents Grant as a coarse
looking drill sergeant calling the roll of an
awkward squad of mehn looking men, in
soldier garb, and having on their belts
the names of the different States. One
labeled New Hampshire stands at the
head of the line, with spread hands held
stiffly to his sides and with a face resembling
the gorilla countenance which Nast
gives to the Irish in Harper. With mouth
enormously stretched and a frightened
look he is giving the response "Here!" to
the fierce looking sergeant. Nast has forgotten
his business. If he had bad an
order for a cut to point the Democratic
charges of military manners in our adrainstration,
this would have been a success.
But for a devoted Grant journal, or for
any Republican journal, it is a blunder.
This is the way the Chicago Evening
Post chronicles the attempted assassination
of Queen Victoria:
The motion of Mr. Arthur O'Connor,
seconded by Ancient Pistol, and put to
the Queen, "sign or die," was deferred
fine die by Mr. John Brown.
