The object of 1 these roads will be to reduce cost of trans- ' porting grain and other products of the 1 west to the seaboard at the very lowest < possible cost. 11 The great shadow which rests upon the i property of the West is this cost of ex- ; i changing couiuio lities; and this is the I fekeleton which is to be found in every < farmer's corn crib. On tho 3d of Janu* < ary, 1873, the price of corn at. DesMoines was Iff cents pet bushel; ac Chicago 31 cents, and at Now York. G7 cents. The 1 j differences in these prices marked the , cost of transportation between these pla- , ecs? The remedies for this condition of , things were varied- and among these may j he mentioned the policy of condensing the j com crop into less bulky forms as con- t nerting it into pork, beef, or wool. An- \ other means of treating this skeleton is to | Live a greater diversity ofcrops; in-te id , of depending upon corn year after year. ( to have as large variety of productions as j possible: Nevertheless, the necessity for ch-aper transportation mu>t be met. . The present gorge and glut of Western t products is susceptible of easy explanation. | So long as the railways cannot, even if t willing, transport one bushel in fourofour t Jnsnrndnets. so lou^will they dem uid j fir s.oving the one bushel as much as r should be asked for moving the four. To f find cheap transportation we must have ( greater facilities. , Minnesota and Wisconsin are moving j to secute the free navigation of the Can- | adian canals, and their enlargement to a ( capacity sufficient for the largest sailing j t r and steam vessels. Tlrs would solve the j c problem for that Inrire wheat ami corn f section. For when it is known that an ' ordinary ^chooner has a carrying capa -iry : equal to 140 cars; tliut the vessel can be i . run cheaper than a train of twenty ears; | 1 and the great lakes and the canals arc J 1 . free as air, impassible of control by M >- j:l nopolies, thefneight from all points acees- \ sible to lake ports to the sea will Is- at its ! ' . T*"" gifoinmui?not rxc cdfug pTOtintjTy 7' j cents per bushel instead of 51. For other ' large sections of the gn?ut west there a seems to be no way of relief save in a se-'s ries of great freight air line railroads, up- ! *on whose tracks any one may run trains. 1 These roads are to be built by aid of the government and are to have no rolling stock and are simply to furnish a track, e Tnlla fr?t ears will he collected OUt of which ) the road is to he kept in order ami ini- r proved. The right to connect with this t ro id is to be open to all companies or in- t dividual* who own cars n d will do the r transportation. Of course the running of * f n?'ns will be on them as upon ordinary roads regulated by schedule. There arc r many details which wo cannot give but t the idea may be gathered from what we [ have written. j j If these roads are built one of them is t certain to have its terminus upon the i waters of this harbor. c ?> ., Accidental Shooting. n A few days sin -e. a colored boy in 1 Idluffton, in examining a handsome re- t volver. in the store of Mr. IVlitzer, handled it carelessly, and upon laying it down upon the counter, it discharged, j and the ball entered in the vicinity of the heart. The hoy fell upon the floor. ^ apparently dead, but soon recovered. A jury was eiupannelled for a po t-mortcm , J examination, when lie stated that no one was to blame but himself. It is not known whether the boy will recover or * not. Contempt ihle. < Some colored men took a few bales of ' long staple cotton from Paris i>land to Charleston, inside route, and all tliev could obtain for it was 3* cents per pound | ' when they could obtain .r>()cents in town. J ' It was an outrageous swindle on the js?or c darkeys and wewouhl like to know the | s name o*" the factor who purchased it. mm Tlie Revolver. i A colored woman named llairnr Maxwell, was sent to the other world a few j days since by her loving husband, and j c the instrument used was a revolver. That v is the most fashionable vav of doing such . - - * ' . i work. The parties reside on new river, c Yenm?see township. The liege lord, j made good his escape.

The crowd of politicians and claimants this week has been very large, as the fact was known that all over the state the taxes were pouring in, and that the treasury was once again ready to be drained. Almost every county has sent forward its pioto of greenbacks, Beaufort being rniong those not heard from. On Saturday the announcement was made that payments would be made, md at the appointed time, a crowd of anxious ones were strugglingfor a chance to got in a claim. Those with proper t ouchers were served in turu by Mr. Cariozo with great suavity. TREASURY NOTES. Holders of treasury notes issued in payment of pay certificates are obliged' to have them registered before a special committee, of which Alfred Wi liams is secretary. The printing appropriation for payment of the new-papers has all been gobbled. The Charleston News received the whole of its bill, nearly $10,000, and the Conrier was similarly successful, which fully accounts for the gingerly way they treat the present administration?so liffercnt from their usual" habit with regard to radicals. They have to make it up by pitching into Boutwell?he having no advertising accounts to .pay. \\ hue thcse.t-wo conservative papers get their I noney Carpenter of the Union was put iff with a fifth of his bill. A RUMPUS. Old Grant, Joe Woodruff s factotum, is a character. lie loat hes the very sight if an ordinary "snatchee'' or ''sttborier/' as he calls the subordinate? and atachecs of the legis'a'ure. 0" Friday a<t, one of the tribe hailing from Pary's -Ian', was found en-conced in JoeWood uffs room, trying by aid of one hand, will feet an l his tongue, in inditing a etter to absent friends. This was too nuch for Grant who ignominuously sjected the presumptuous offender and lurled him down stairs. The ejected one sat upon the last step m 1 lifted his voice and howled. S > dislially did he howl that the sound caused ioth houses to pour forth from their :ha tubers. They gathered round the uifortunate Harry, each one ready to >ring in a bill to bcttei enforce the civil ights bill or organize another "armed brce." But .when it was found that irant was the offender all indignation anished. For Grant is a power. He ;ives drink unto the thirsty one; he ights the fragrant weed; he sets forth he little snack, and more than all lie akes care of uncle Joe himself. So the inly salve for his wounds poor Hany got ic must have found in his own tears. MY RAPE. Senator Nash, who is blac-k as coal, got n a stinging sneer on Thursday last direced against the lighter colored men who ire so constantly lugging in the "interest if my race."' "To what race do they lelong," he a?ked. "1,'know that ipy m--ror?

The senate, after a long debate repeald the clause in the Blue Ridge act which ('edges the credit of the state for the ovonuc bond scrip. This, of course, is nere child's play. If the act was constiutional an 1 binding then the repeal is a utility.- The legislature cannot uiakc uch a contract and then abrogate it. These virtuous legislators are trying to nake a little cheap capital. Last March hey voted for this bill because they were iaid to do -o. This year they try to repeal it because no one will pay them not o. This repentance is too late and too iselcss to be accepted as condoning the irginal offence. Nor can they plead ignorinco. for they voted fir this very section titer listening to an able, earnest and lirough exposition of its inimiity from lie mouth of Senator 1>. T.

He has referred the question to the attorney-general and the decision is expected to-niorrow. If it should be, as expected, adverse to the power of the commissioners to oolect anything for county purposes but the three uiills, there will be nearly ten thou sand dollars to be returned to the taxpayers. , Why Some Hotels are Unpopular. What is the most common complaint with guests against first-class hotels? Nine old travelers out often can give you the fault formula in a minute. About as follows; "I registered my name, and they gave me a room at the ton of the house, ami charged tue as much as if I had the best room on the lowest floor. Major General Buncombe had the best room in the house and didn't pay anv more than I did." It will be positively refreshing to our readers to know that there is one first-class hotel, at least, on Broadway. New York, that has token a stand against this unsatisfactory and wornout system, and charges less for the upper floors than the lower, and allows the guest o choose for thenise'ves. The Grand Central Hotel, under the judicious management of H. L. Powers, adopted this incouinaiablv the .best systeni at the start, and it is being b jffer appreciated every day. The Grand Central has now taken the lead of all New Yonc Ho'els. in its arrivals as well as other rcsneets. Its prices are 8 5.00. ;$3.5f) and S 1.00 per d iv. An elegantly furnished room, nwah at all hours, from early morn till midnight, and the use of the finest elevator in the world for S 5.00 per day is very comfortable.

The New York Bulletin publishes the following letter from Charleston : Charleston, S. C , Jan. 3. I have perused with great pleasure your aiticlc on the Phosphates of South Carolina, which appeared in your isiyje of the 12th December last, an I confirm the t ruthfulness of all therein stated in reference to those rich and wonderful fertilizing deposits. There can be no doubt ol the vast utility which will result to die country from the southern portion ol'Yitgiuia throughout the South iu consequence of the discovery of those phosphates. as the poorest acre of land, which lias heretofore been abandoned, is now known to produce one hale of cotton with a judicious use of the phosphates when properly prepared, according to the natural requirements of the soil. In additio . to what you state, that the crops thus treated will mature at least three weeks earlier than those where no phosphates have been used, and thus avoid a large risk of injury from frost, eatei pillars, and other dam iging cati-'es, at a veiy eiirical period of their growth, the use of the-c fertilizers has enabled the farmers in the southern part of North Carolina and the western part of South Carolina up towardthe Bine llidge to raise cotton where ten vears ago it was never dreamed of. The " ? ' i? o?> c_ buikfing ol tlie Airline luunuau uom Charlotte, N. C., to Atlanta, da., which skirt< the upper portion of'South Caro inu, will enable to the farmers along the line of that ro.nl to lay down the f rtiiizerat their own doors hy a prompt and cheap tran portution. and there is not an acre of btrri wtm-h rriH -not produce a battTDfCot (on by the judicious u.-e of tin m. lleietofore our rural population have been much averse to the introduction of any improved system of cultivating the soil, but they are at last becoming a ouscd from the lethargy which has led them, in most instances, to follow in the ruts of the past, and are now intelligently exercising the mind in addition to the plough, in which I doubt not, they will continue to improve. O .ir well informed farmers an 1 planters give me the "following data for the cultivation of cotton with the use o fertilizers. They put the expense of cultivating and gathering from one acre o? land at $22. fn), add two hundred to two hundred aud fifty pounds South Carolina fertilizers at 3 cents per pound, the present j rice, .-ay $7 50, making $)(). Take a bah of cot ton at the in (derate average of $70 per bale, and a profit iciuains to the farmer of $40 per acre. With such results for cotton (and which are equally applicable to the cereals and root crops when properly treated, ) aevcry acre of land in South Carolina can produce, and with two-thirds of the area of the State perfectly healthy for white labor, and a delightful climate equal to that of the South of Trance, with hoauti ful scenery, and an ahoundant yield of luscious fruits, how long will our lands be crying out for purcha?crsat ten doliars o twenty do'la s p -r u?to ?

In the 83 were to be employed ^ those mighty weapons, so efficacious in ( destroying the works of Satan, and in t| building up "the Church of the living j God, the pillar nd ground of the Truth." ^ The transition theieforc, from the con- t| sideration of the one to a notice of ihe C( other, is nqt so unnatural as it may at u fir>t appear. c The mother country, mindful indeed of the spiritual wants of those early ad- t| venturers, had not long made provision for their security ngainst j | "Man's inhumanity to man;" when she turned her attehtion to nking b arrangements for the due observance of t| the Christian Sabbath, and the ntainten- |, nnce of divine worship according to the (j j forms and ceremonies of the established e ehutch. ^ AVirh the exception of an indepcnlco |, j church at Dorchester, (organized in lfi%) s| j there were no places o public worship M anywhere along our extended const. In n 10% however, an act was passed "to set- |t * tie a maintenance on a minister of the church of England in Charles town." n About this time was formed in London, Sj "the society for the propagation of the gos- f i pel in foreign parts." This society, so dis ? tinguished for its extensive operations and e eminent success, si-nt to Caro'ina the Rev. C( Samuel Thomas, its first missionary to |j these shores. The original design was ^ the conversion of the "Yammosees;'' a but the Governor, Sir Nathaniel John- 0 son, as well as others, thought it an improper time for that work ; and he was accordingly appointed to the charge of jj three settlements on C opcr river, with his rcsidenco on Goose Creek. His ^ ministrations were not unattended by suecess, as may be seen front his report to the society, in which he says that the ^ /uvMiiniininaht. tlftrl IIUUJ'Hl \j I tuiiiiuui.ivM.i.w ? frouifire to thirty-two; that ho 4,had tak ii much pains also in instructing the nc- ^ groe-, anil learned twenty of them to read.1' This was accomplished too in n short- time, for he died in 1700 "very n much lamented for his sound doctrine, j exemplary life and industry." ^ There cannot now he found a correct ^ list of the Episcopal clergy who reached this province prior totl|o year 1731. This ^ number, however, was small; for up to j 1775 the aggregate was reported at one Iniudred and two, ninety-three of whom .SI arrived subsequently to 1730. leaving on- e ly nine lor the twenty-eight preceding | years. Among these we find the follow- j ing names, viz: Rev. J)r. Lc Jean, Mo srs. Merry Ludlam, Maule, Cierk, Hunt, Dwignt and Osborn. The first j who succeeded Mr Thomas in 17?M> was jj an indefatigable mi s'onary, '"who in o structed and baptized many negroes and Indian slaves." Mr. Osboin was the ^ first mis ionary to St. Bartholomew's ^ Parish, (Walterboro,) and narrowly cs- | c-p -d the Indian massacre of 1715, with a loss of all bis effects. With the single | exception of Mr- Hunt, these pioneers of the gospel are sjmken of in terms of the ^ highest commendation for their many j. virtues and unwearied diligence and toil. c But it is time to turn our attention to s( our own" parish of ''St. lie en's," as it was always called in those early days. j] Her people, as far hack as 1712, had cx- ^ pressed an earnest desire to have a cler i ; gyraan re^dent among them; and. with ^ the consent of Rev. Mr. Johnson, Hector j ?f ('! a Wtown and com mis-ary of the B'sliop of London, whose jurisdiction cx- j( tended over all the clmrchc-* in the prov- j im c, elected Rev. William Guy, then assNtant tnitiiitcr of .St. Philip's. Being ^ at that time a deacon- he returned to |t England in 1713, and there received Priest's orders, the society nl<o appointin? him their missionary to this charge; , tl which, at that time included "he whole Yamnio-ec nation and extended to the **' Savannah river. j "Wide was his parish?houses far asunder? But lie neglected nought lor rain or thunder, In sickness anj In grief to visit all. The farthest in the paiish, great and small." t There was, as yet. no place of public I' worship; nor, at the tune or tus arrival, | ? liad the people a teacher of any pcrsua- b sion; though there had been previously t "some Ana-baptist and ^Presbyterian a teachers.'' Mr. Guy, therefore performed t divine service in the houses of his parish- n ioners in various parts of his extended a field of duty, till 1715. when he and they b so providentially escaped massacre by the ti Indians. On this memorable occasion. I the parish was again depopulated; and 1 but for the presence in the harbor, of a t Briti h vessel, its inhabitants would have n btfen exterminated. With the exception i of a small number who did not take time- c ly flight to the ship, and thus fell into the hands of the merciless savages, all ( the inhabitants, about three hundred, es- t enpod with their live-, though with the 1 i loss of all their effects. Mr. Guy was i of the number saved; but, being thusun- 1 happily depriv ed of bis cure, he was sent c t to Naragansetts, where he remained i ' until declining health compelled hira to < seek agaio a southern clime, Returning . 1 to Carolina, be assumed the cure of St I \ y?; ndrew's, parish on ihe western side o ie Ashley. Notwithstanding, there were, in St, Ilel i'a at the time of this massacre, iuor< an three hundred who effected tHci cape, scarcely a dozen names have coin* )wn to posterity. A man by the name o >ainan Burrow.-, and a boy fled from th< ene of horror, ut "Pocotaligat Town;' id with great difficulty, (the man seri isly wounde :,) running and swimming .ached Port Royal Island in time t< am the people and thas secure thei streat to the vessel so opportunely a and. To this wounded refugee thes iree hundred inhabitants owed thei reservation; nay, their escape froo irtures, of which their death, (ccrtaii Itiuiately to ensue,) would have been : lore thau we'tom; relief. * Among thos ho?e lives were thus preserved, was th ifant son of Colonel Barnwell, the pro enitor of a numerous and distinguishes miily, identified for more than a centur nd a half, with the history, civil am lilitary, as well of the tate as of th rovince of South Carolina.. Colonel E ud distinguished hiuiselfin 1812, when t the head of six hundred whites an iree hundred and sixty-six friendly In ian ?, he was sent to the relief of the pec le of Roanoke, N. C., one hundred am lirty-scven of whom had been niasss red in a single night by the Tuscarora nd their allies, lie killed wounded an iptured nearly one thousand warrior? 'ith a loss of only five Carolinians an lirty-six Indians. After this signal di ;at, the survivors removed to the Ohi Iver,. In 1719, he was again intruste ith an important and highly respons le mission. The province having ovei lirown "Proprietary Government," ser itn as special envoy to th* King < rreat Britain, asking that a Royal Goa rnor should be appointed by his maje f ic. This duty was discharged entin r frt the satisfaction of Olir DCOnle. Iiali have occasion to introduce tli ame in another connection ; and sha ovir return to' the subject originally s< tcied lor our present consideration. After the suppression of the "Yan tosee" insurrection, (of which I sha peak hereafter,) the inhabitants of S lelen's returned to their plantation! They were encouraged to do so the sooi r because Port Royal Island had a vei apacious and safe harbor, and was lik< ! to become a place of great trade, r eing a commodious station for shipping nd the country arouud affording plent fall pfovisions." Having obtained a considerable appn nation from the government, as well t bcral contributions from some worth cntlemcn, their fond hopes were rea ted in 1724, in which year wjs erected eat church of brick, forty feet by thirt; ith a chancel ten feet deep.

Cheap cotton wou d be a patent and j acknowledged blessing to all the world save the cotton producer. I propose to show, first?that blessing ? is within easy reach of the world; and, second?that the condition of the cotton producer is such that he will receive 7 greater be lefits from the causes which it will produce cheap cotton than all '"the }f rest of mankind" will from the cheap cotton. First. An average cfon of about three and a fourth millions of bales (3.250,000) may be relied on from the cotton States [ of the United State, grown on nine millions of acres. and produced by the labor w ol DOtnb two-and-a-half millions of iodili viduuls( 2,500.000 ) producing also, howj ever, large provisions crops. This shows a product of only about one third of a bale to the acre?no* one and I a lia f bale-to the laborer. Yetonsome II of the thinnest soils in th( cotton bell, t. where inicliig nee an.l thrift direct labor, the produet not unfrcouently is from two thirds of a bale to one bale per acre?from four to eight bales to the laboer.

Throughout the entire i. South choice lands are tenanted hy feedie men, and their crops very often do n??t reach a hale to the laborer. Of cour c (' the proprietor-1 would rejoice to let tuueb h of the-e lands to intelligent, iti lu-Irion.ie white tugi. who won d quadruple the )r product ami improve their lands, or th. y would gladly sell at low prices port ion ir ' their lands, and the capital thus rnuiltr* ing Would enable thctu touliiixe their rc., m.lining hinds. >?
