A short route, coenecting the route from Elton to Cambridge, with the route from Unionville to the Ridge, ofeng 14 miles, at thisoffice and Riehardson's. by Coleman's N Roads, would be a great ad vantage to the citmens of that part of our dis tric, a it would open to them a direct way by which they might hold a regular weekly cor respondence with Edgefeld C.

" The health ofthe city is getting goodagitin. and we now look for bettet reelinpevery way. The river is quite low at thi time o writing, &steamboats can scarcely reach the wharves." The Charleston Mercury ofthe 14th instant says. -We are ir the midst ot a Northeaster, which drove up at three o'clock on Tuesday suddenly eclipsiug the bright sunshine and " ere a man had time to say behold !" substita, ting as black a specimen of daylight as is often seen. We have not had much violent wind, though the storm ts likely enough to end in a gale-but three ur four days of rain and dark ness is most impportune just now. The rice is but a small portion of it secured yet and the entire crop may therefore sufier great injury. The caterpillars are ravaging the cotton fields and nothing but warm dry weather will prevent them from mukiplying indefinitely. The prospect altogether is a very gloomy one. The Winyah Obsereer of the 13d inst. says: Our Havest Season has been a most tavora ble one so far-ba: up to to-day a very scanty portion of the crop has been gotten in. We had a rain last evening. for the first in two weeks-and this must have annoyed but little, as it was but a shower. The harvest season so far has been favorable. T7e healh of out Tomr-i never good at this particular season-nor will it ever be, in this or any other region whiee the lands are as fertile, and as richly sepay the labourer's toil. We have some -.ases o fever, but none of a malignant type--o-d the last two or three years practice of our physicians make the chances of recovery creditable to the profes. sion." The Pendleton Messeunger ottise 1ith instant says: After one or t4o weeks of very hot weather, we were visited on Wednesday morn ing last. by what we hope is the equinoctial gale. It commenced raining at that time with a cool easterly wind, and has continued with short intervals since. and but little probability of clearing away very soon. From the Charleston Observer.

Remarks.-The latest advices from Europe ne ota favorable character Trade in Eng 3d and France was improving; money was uidant. and interest lWw; the manufactures -re in full operatian, and the demand for ds and yarns pretty active; and what was I better for Great Britain, the prospect for abundant crop of wheat was fine. Under these circumstainces, it is not surptising that P prices of the principal raw material for the iropean tantilaettorep shoull have improved, vecially when advices had reached Europe it the cotton crop of the United States had l'ered. and could not equal the large crop of it year. So far as we have heard from the it,oard mark es of this country, those advices ve produced some eflect. In New York. tion had advanced; at Philadelphia the same provemient was felt, and we have no donbt it in the tither markets, the same feeling will i-reai. But the question shoold be asked by P prudent merchant aid planter; Can any pendence be placed oi a permanency of the provement in the rates of the raw material e are fearful that all sanguiue calculations high prieu nay piove fallacious. as the rul rates during the season will mainly depend the amount of the supply from this country. a must bear in mind that on the 19th of Au 'st, the stock of cotton remaining on hand at verpool was 915.00 bales. Shoild this ge stock e fed by large supplies from this untry durm'g the season, it is out of the ques. n to expect any improvment in prices, or en that the advance that his taken place in European markets will he imaintainied - at circumstances m1y nappen which n:4:ht rlail the supplies from this country It is io that the accotnts we hare recently receiv from Alabamaand Mississippi represent the oditiont of the crops as. unlavorable foir a rge yield, or at anmy rate for an average one. it if the crops wiath good weather during the nainder of the year. yield only three-fourths the amount of the crop of J$42-:I, it is our lief that the supply will be sutlicient to meet a demand, with the increased consumption aich no doubt will continmue to advance. If weather istunfavorable, and the crops suffer rar than it is now anticipated, it im probable it the supply may fall i'hcrt of the demand d consumption. notwithstandiing the large ecks held in Europe at the latest dates. Wie 'er these fewv remarks to our merchants and inters with the sole view of calling their at -tion to the subject. in order that prndence d caution in opperations, may govern them the opening of the season, and in order that ruling prices may kee-p paee wvith the in 'matlon that we catinot fail to receive daily of a prospects and extent of the prese'nt crop. Coeo.-Since the advices b the Acadia. argarot, and the other day by the Britannia, r market ha. Itaken a firm app pearanc, and a staple took so uptward tendenicy, which has an mnaiitained. The-last advices has render our m-trket still more active, with an a% nen itn prices above those obtained previous making an adyghee since the arrival of te :adia ot' fually I of a cent.
