TUB CIlARLOTTM & B C RAILROAD, on which we traveled from Chester to /v,l.-?,i;.:? ? ? wiui/ii*! in III rj || HO l/UIIUIIIUII n " *1 i , I liwve ever seen it. The immense damage inflicted by the enemy bas been fully re paired ; the engine* are of the flret quah ity and some of the coaches are really splendid specimens of artistic taste and fekill. The rato of travel i* about twenty miles per hour?quite an improvement upon the old schedule rates ; an improve inent which the Solith Caroiiua Railroad would do well to imitate. CoLl'MBI* is slowjy recovering from (lie terrible prostration received at the hands ol Khfefrmftn's vandal horde. Some very handsome business establishments have been erected on Main Street and tnahy more are in process of construction ; though that once beautiful thoroughfare presents yet a sad appearance compared with it* former splendor and neatness. The debris of burnt dwellings, of broken walls and na Iced chimney*, everywhere geeet the eye Hs eed reminders of the grossest act of vandalism that ever disgraced humanity. From BUckstocks in Chester District to Orangeburg, the traveler baa no need to he told that he it on the line of Slier* man's grand inarch through South Card* litis, fur lie h?* constant evidence of the tact before him in the shape of beat chiin neys, not inaptly termed by Bill Arp "Sherman's Setilinela." It will be a long time before the city can be fully rebuilt. Many of the recent buildinge itfe df a temporary character, and the principal business marts are off from the main itreet. tub ieoisi.stlrb, which Is now in ssssion. snnasri to h? - -r i ? ? ranking the usual progress in the affairs bf the State. No important measure had culminated up to the time we were there, except the till repealing the usury law*, which we observe, the Ledger announced last Weelc. The result of the election for United States Seoator was also announ bed, together with a statement of the last ballot; but it was not then stated, because doubtless not known, that Gen. Kershaw, who stood second on the ballot, was not a candidate, and that he prompt )y declined before the election to allow b:a heme to be used in that conuectioa. It could add no new dignity te this distin guished Carolinian to be elected Senator to Congress, even if, by the election (in this case a mere farce) the distinction could ha conferred and it ia a nnaliinn , - ? I ..w tirely uncongenial with bit feelings and inclination!. Several measures of coosiderabla pub* lie interest wera before lha Legislature, upon which no final action had been la ken : A bill to furnish corn for lha d*atituta whs reported ftont tha special committee oo the corn question, which pro* aides for the raising of threa hundred thousand dollars by taxation for tha pur chase of corn, to ba distributed gratuitously through agents to be appointed by ' the Governor. The bill will scarcely ' ^ass iti its original shape ; tboVrgh it ia quite certain, that whatever money ia appropriated must be raised by taxation, aa the State has no credit. In tha preseo*. vary uncertain stalut of tha State Government, her bonds, if thrown upon tha markets, would scarcely bring anything. A bill to provide for voluntary bankruut 'Cy ?s? under ad rise merit?a vary good measure, but of doubtful constitutional! ty. Alio a bill making material alterai tions in the District Court system, and ? bill 10 abolish these Courts entirely.? A bid to encourage immigration from Europe (4 most important measure sod calculated to effect greet good in building up the Stale if it can be carried out) to gather with sundry propositions io refer, enre to the Banks of the Htate, are en. gaging * large there of ttye attention of the legislature. Anything which we might mv in reference to llree*, or Any other memurea before the Leg feature, looking to the final result, # erouitJ be mere conjecture ; for it f* alwava tuiceMein hpw a matter will ' - -' a- .?.jt terminate Until flual acliofa has been had. Much of the usual interest id ihe hiisihes* of Legislation is Abated, because of the condition of UDcefuifttj wlittili prevails and of the not uwfeasohablfe apprehen> sions fell by the members thai they may, to a great extent, be uselessly employed. thk cbuRTB, both State lihd Federal are In aesaion in Columbia.
