TOWN MATTERS. Feaafort is oat of debt and has several hnndred dollars in the bank to its credit. Next year a great deal of property will be subject to taxation which hitherto has been exemnt " " r Jbeoause in the hands of the government: Fully a third more money oan be raised next year by this addition1 lo our taxable property, with-the* same rate of taxation as we are now paying. In view of this favorable outlook, oan we not stir up the council to a llttfe- enterprise ? What has become of the street lamp business. Mr. Wilson proposed this measure and seemed quite enthusiastic. It was referred to him as chairman fa committee two months ago. Since then nothing has been heard from him. We should have some new drains put down. We would here recommend the artificial stone drain pipe. Waterhouse & Ricker have some samples af it of excellent quality. It is absolutely indestructible after it is laid, and keeps itself free. a3 it has a smooth inside surface. The health of the town demands tbe oowrtrnction of drains \nstead of the unwholesome and unsightly ditches, which fill up with sand and soon became so obstructed as to be worse than useless. The committee on wells and pumps ought to give some attention to their duties. We ought to have some new pumps. Pure water and plenty of it is necessary to health. How many of our warden have performed their duty by inspecting their respective wards. We don't believe any one of them can say they have thoroughly looked after the cleanliness and health of their wards. Wake up, gentlemen. Then we want some improved streets. The work on the sand bog on the west end of Bay street will prove abortive unless a thicK coating of marsh mud is placed [upon the sand previous to shelling it. The shells if put in now [would be ground down into |the sand and lbs! before a month of travel had passed over it. In fact the marsh mud without any shells would make an excellent road. It does not be ome soft during a rain, but packs down hard and firm. This is evident to anyone who has passed over the causeways on the shell-road. The only good places on that road now are such as were treated to a thick coating of the marsh mud. Let us have a street sprinkler. On windy days a walk^on Bay street is perilious to the eyes and fatal to cleanliness and clothing. To have the street sprinkled four or five twnea a day would not cost much. The saving in temper and in dry goods would be very great. FROM THE GRANARIES TO THE SEA On the 28th of next month the national Agricultural Congress will meet in Indianapolis to discuss the means by whivh the producers of . the west and the consumers of the east and south may be brought into such relations as will result in mutual benefits. At present the four states of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama are compelled to huy about 50,000,000 bushels of grain from the northwestern producers every year. For this they . pay on an average nearly $54,000,000. But of this amount the west ern grain growers get less than $16,000,000. The $38,000,000 which the people of the consuming states pay over the amount realized by the producer is divided among different transportation companies. To remedy this state of things the farmers of the west meet in convention. Many schemes will be presented to the consideration of this body. Two of them will be of peculiar interest to those whose interest are identified with Port Royal. The first will advocate a great government double track freight railroad from Leavenworth to Port Royal, over which any one who chooses may send cars. This would be in the nature of a turnpike. The road would be provided by the government, enough toll being demanded to keep it in order. By such a road, it is claimed, corn could be transported from Kansas to South Carolina, for ten cents per bushel; the present cost is not less than forty $ents. The other project depends for its success upon private enterprise. It has its western terminus at Kansas city, in the very centre of that great northwest which has been aptly called the granary of the world, and its eastern terminus on Port Royal harbor. The route proposed may be briefly described as running .through Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina, via Kan sas city, Springfield Memphis, Burmingham, Macon, and Port Royal, This route, traced upon any map v/f the United States, will be seer to be singularly free from mountains and other natural obstruc tions, and it traverses a section ol the country in which the climate is a perpetual guarantee against block ades from stress of weather. Th< aggregate length of the line ii about nine hundred and sixty miles which is a saving of some three hun dred miles in the distance from th< praries to the Atlantic, by way o! New York, Boston, Philadelphia Baltimore or Norfolk. At Port Royal is to be establishec a grand transportation depot, when the iron, grain, lumber, cotton, &c. brought to the seaboard will b< _i.; ? a ?A>*fo nf FiiirABft. an( SU i|ipcu IU tile I/O V* MW* South America, and it is believe( that the steam and sailing ve3seii thus attracted to the South Atlan tic coast will be enabled to offei such advantageous rates of fare U passengers as to give a material im pulse to the western immigration. We believe that one of these pro jects will be an accomplished fac within the nftct ten years. Fron Cincinnati the Ohio valley ii stretching its iron arms to For Royal. The railroad connectior between the Queen city and Knox ville is a necessity, and though i has been delayed by rival interesti it is sure to be made. From Knoxville, through Rabur Gap to Anderson, S. C., andthcnc< down the valley of the Savannah t< Augusta is the shortest and bcs route for the great provision trad< of Cincinnati on its way to south ern and foreign markets. The tim< for the completion of this route ii nearer than appears on the surface We feel ssfe in predicting the arri val of a through car from Cincin na'i, through the Blue Ridge, a Port Royal within three years. THE LUMBER BUSINESS IN BEAU FORT COUNTY. The great value of our railroad to thi county can partly be measured by th statistics of the lumber business of th past year. We have made inquiry o the various mill men on the line of th road and have made a careful estimate o the number of feet of resawed lumbe shipped over the road to Port Royal Charleston and Savannah. Eight mill have sawed and shipped, in the yea ending April 1, 187J, over twelve millioi feet of lumber. The value of this lumber, at the mill has averaged, probably, twelve dollar per thousand feet, or nearly one and i half million dollars for the year's product Tti? increase in the value of land in thi county is, wc think, fully, one millioi of dollars. When it is considered tha only a fringe upon our timber belt ha been cut it will be realized now great ai addition to our wealth has been made b; the completion of the Port Royal railroad The busiuess of the next year is cer tain to be greatly in excess of tho last Maj. Man din expects to cut during th< coming year at the rate of 250,000 fee I per month. Stcnmcj'cr & Stokes are enlarging theii facilities and will cut quite as much ai Mauldin. Yarn <fc Ward, Owen, Holmes, ITudgins, and others are preparing lor ar increase of business. We have no doubi that two millions of dollars will be re ceivcd next year by tbe Port Royal mills, New engines and cars have been ordered by the road to accommodate this traffic and the proprietors at Port Royal are ofr??,a:i;?;od nrwimmodntions tr Il'IIU? iUVIIUlvo ? ? the mill men to construct wharves, upon which lumber may be stored, insured and drawn upou, for shipment to foreign ports. Maj. Mauldin has an order now foi half a milium feet for the Spanish West Indies to bo furnished during the summer. The Sumter Election. The Sumter election was a curious affair. The conservative citizens generally admit that Suarcs is abetter man than Sudcr; that the ticket for wardens on that ticket was quiet as good, if not better than that of the Suder ticket; and that Suares would certainly have been elected if he had not been supported by Gov. Moses. That killed him. Suares should keep out of bad company. A Rhode Island graveyard has on a sea captain's tombstone this affecting epitaph: "He's done a' catching cod and gone to meet his God." Phosphates. { The phosphate companies in the vicinity of Bull river were never so successful at at present. The Oak Point dredges are lifting an average of two hundred tons of crude rock per day. The Marine & River eompany have been digging for some weeks in Parrott creek. They have secure! and piled up over three thousand tons of very superior rock at that poin'? The same company have prospected in f other creeks in this vicinity and have c found beds of loose rock very accessible, ( , in sevoral localities. Operations will prob- ] ably commence between Beaufort and J Port Royal about July 1. 1 The vessels engaged in this trade have i been particular unfortunate. About a , ' third of those taking cargoes of cmde ( rock from here have been lost or dam. aged. Lloyds have refused to insure 1 vessels loaded-wholly with crude phos- f phates. This is a great draw-back on the 2 ' trade. t ' It is evident that bad stowage has been I 1 the cause of the disasters. The com pa- 1 . nics must give earnest attention to this J matter, or the inability to get vessels will 1 p put an end to their business. ? The true remedy, is for them to make 1 3 a depot for their rock at Port ltoyal. i Vessels can then take in a few hundred i ? tons of phosphate and the rest of their < j cargo in cotton. Such mixed freights i would be unobjectionable to iusurers. At 5 Port Royal, too, those vessels wishing to i take a full cargo of phosphate would find } ^umber plenty and cheap to build up 1 f properly to receive the rock. Much of ' it would also find its way to Charleston ' and Savannah by rail. Freights would be lower at this point because insurance 1 would be lower than that demanded for 1 ; entering the shallower and more difficult ' f entrance of St. Helepa Sound. At Port ? Royal, it seems to us, the whole pilosis phate tra It must ere long be concentrated. i Q 3 School Money. Our county treasurer made a draft on r Cardozo last week for our quota of the 1 school fund, amounting to fifteen, thou' sand dollars. It was returned protested. * I This is only for the year beginning Nov. ' 1, 1872. We have not yet had a cent of . the school appropriation of last year. , Neither did we get a cent out of the deficiency tax collected to pay such claims. Other counties got one-third of their last 3 year's quota, but Beaufort county was t overlooked entirely ? What was our i Senator doing, that he allowed such in- ' . justice. What were our seven able, honest and industrious representatives about all winter, that they should allow our 3 teachers to be thus defrauded? BSk-A new engine arrived last week for i the Port Royal Railroad. j fiQfThe schooner Benj. Garthsides ' cleared on the 19th from Bull river, with a cargo of Phosphates for Philadeli phia. 11 Ulfc.

We wish each one of our 1 t wardens was a horse, and, the iutendant i an aged and rheumatic mule, and that ' they were each obliged to draw a dray i load of bricks out to the depot, twice a i day, for a week. The following week i 9 would see lively times in improving the e road, providing there was vitality enough i e left in their emaciated carcasses to secure ! f a quorum of councils. i "j.

Interest on deposits at six per ceut., compounded quarterly, is in itself a handsomo return, while the dc. positor is able to rest satisfied tbat he is running absolutely no risk at all. For in addition to the fact that the directors and Trustees are among the most prominent 1 aud trustworthy business men of Charles- i ton, the whole amount of the banking 1 1 capital, viz: 8.100,000 is a security for 1 all deposits in the Savings Departments 1 ' Shingle roofs, and indeed all wood i 1 work may be rendered less pliable to take 1 fire from falling cinders, &e., by coating 1 with a wash composed of lime, salt, and wood ashes.

In 1791 was incorporated the Society or promoting acd encouraging the eduction of children, and assisting and csablishiog schools for that purpose in Beaufort District. This seems to have >ecn the first movement, after the Revoution looking to educational advancenent. The act names John Smith, Sen. John McPherson, Cornelius Dupont and )thcrs. "The Beaufort College" was founded )y legislative enactment in 1795, and tho ollowing prominent and influential citizens designated as the first board of rustces, viz. John Barnwell, Robert Barnwell, W. II.*Wigg, William Elliott, Stephen Elliott, Ilenry Ilolconibc, Thos. Fuller, John McPherson, John A. Cuthlert, John Jenkins Sen., William Fripp, John Bull and John M. Verdier. In 'urtherauce of the Jobjcct in view a large ind commodious building was erected on 1 commanding site, west of the present court house. It was built of tabby, at that time very extensively used for such purposes. The location proved unhealthy; and a wooden structure of modest pretensions was substituted. This was erected on Craven Street, east of the residence of D. C. Wilson, Esq., whence it was removed nearly fifty years ago, to the lot now occupied by the Female Seminary, at the corner of North and Newcastle Street, where it remained until the erection of the present brick structure, more eligibly situated "down town.'' The liberal endowment of this institution enabled its trustees to offer an excollent ed uoation at an almost nominal cost A number of unclaimed lots in Beaufort and any property in the District whicl might appertain to the State by virtue o: escheat were generously bestowed on the "College." Some of those lots were dis posed of at very exorbitant prices, when on a previous occasion, our citizens were speculating on the vast future of Beaufort. There is lying before me, a convey ance of three ( 3 ) lots, without any im pruveiuuiius uij mum, situttuju tuu, in uu north western part of the town, for which the purchaser paid "four hundred anc fifty-four (454 ) pounds sterling. 1" Oth' ers more eligibly situated commanded even larger figures. Most of these salef were effected so advantageously to th< College, about the year 1801. The fuud realized from such sources waj invested in stock of the U. S. Bank ; and so considerable was the revenue tiusderived, that the Board was enabled to so* cure at all times, the services of a olassica teacher of the highest grade, with ac assistant fully competent to instruct ir mathematics, (including algebra and geometry,) and all the English branches. The cost for instruction in these twe departments, was thirty, and tweuty dollars respectively, per annum. These extraordinary advantages wort not neglected by our people. There wcrt none too poor to send their sous at sucl low rates,?none too penurious to give them education when st^liberally offered. This noble institution, the foster-child oi our community, contiuued for years te distribute its blessings, to shed its light on all who camo within the pa'c ofiti benign influences. Nor were its gifts re stricted to the youth of Beaufort, or o South Carolina; its doors were open U all, come whence they might This "Col lege" has laid the foundation upon whicl has been erected a superstructure which has shone with brilliancy in every walk o: life. The legislative halls of South Caro lina and of the United States have cchoei the voices of those who had been its pu pils, advocating, with no pigmy force the rightsof an oppressed and ovcrridder minority. The judge's bench, the chaii of the professor, the governor, the cdito: the gown of the advocate and the clergy man; yea, the mitre of the bishop, these have all been adorned by the off spring of this Alma Mater. The failure of the kauking 'institutior in whose securities the trustees had ? largely, and so confidently invested it funds, entailed upon it irretrievable loss, This disastrous event necessitated au ad' vancc in the rates of tuition; and th< English pupils were assessed at thirty while those in the classical department were required to pay forty douars pei annum. This enhanced rate was still within the means of all, hence a commu nity of proverbial intelligence was the result. Such were the reading habits o our people that the fact was publicly no tieed at the general post office in Wash ington, that the newspaper postage o this town exceeded that of any other ii the U. S. of the same population. In deed, there was scarcely one house when a newspaper was not taken. When the .South Carolina College wa: reorganized in 1835, not less than thrci of its professors were chosen from Beaufort, two of them natives, and the third : resident of several years, original'}' o IHilSS. DCUUKJI't IUIUUUCU lu jiiraiuvniri who still holds that distinguished positior in the now "University" of the Mate, thi Honorable R. W. Barnwell, L. L. D From the chair of sacred literature the Rev. Stephen Elliott, Jr., was trans luted, in 1840, to the Episcopate of tin great State of Georgia, where he endear ed himself to the people jby his man; virtues, his unblemished life, his charm ing urbanity, and, aboVc all, by his pro that all the boys in town were sent there. To extend more widely its influence for good, a seminary for young ladies was organized under the auspices and direction of the same board, who ehose six of their own uumber as its special guardians' 8uch then, were the advantages enjoyed by our youth of both sexes. Such are the advantages now lost;?shall 1 say, forever? These'doors are closed, and the children of our impoverished citizen! knocking at private abodes for admissior to those educational privileges which, not the war, but the place (! ) has taken from them. Tlilo ennmo lliA nrAnnr fit inflW duce the "Beaufort Library," as next o kin. Organized in 1802 dating its origii even earlier, it was duly incorporated bj legislative enactment in 1807. The cor porators were "Stephen Elliott, Milton Maxcy and others*" A Dumber of rare and valuable books,?most of them fine, English editions,?became the nucleus around which we?c accumulated yearly additions. The former were the ricl gifts of generous donors, who though they were thus entailing even to thei: children's children, a literary legac; which neither political discord nor th< strife of arms would have snatched away But who knows the rapacitiy of an army Not only were all the private collections o books seized and sent away upon the re duction of the earthworks at Port Royal in 1861, sharing thus the common fate o all private effects] but the Library aliK* was removed, and, transported to Wasl . ington, was stored in the S mithsoniai | Institute, where it was accidentally cor sumed by fire. Congress has been mem orializcd for a small appropriation t , purchase another, and thus carry out a nearly as possible, the laudable purpos j expressed by the late President Lincolr to restore it to us at the expiration of th . war. We had never a doubt of Mr. Lit coin entertaining so just and generous a intention. It remained for his apologist | and so called friends to raise the que: p tion.
