Through mischance wo lmvo been deprived of a brisk hand in the typographical depart ment of our paper this week, ' which has veduoed us to straits not often rosor- ' ted to. We shall, however, be working along in smooth stvlo soon, ami be alilo to itiakccroi.tl present deficiencies, it is seldom wo have to ; usk tlie indulgence of our pntrous, nml trust the necessity will not be forced on us again soon. Correspondents ami advertisers will also bear with us under the circumstances. Legislative. AVo have placed on our first pa^o tlic list of acts passod by tho Legislature. Those of general and local interest will l>o spread be- : lore our readers as wo can find room for them. Wo jjivo this wook tho "act to raise !

When organized and in operation, j tlie.se companies must aid in developing the | rich mineral ami other undeveloped resources ' of the District, and should reccivo the pecu- ! niary assistance, as well as the hearty sup- ' port, of our enterprising ami public spirited citizens.

The number ia attendance was large, many of' whom were engaged in the laudable business of winding up the transactions of the old year.? Money was in request, and circulating freely. Largo quantities of land was sold at reasonable rates ? the tendency of prices being upward, where it was a credit sale. The different police Hoards of the District wore in session, and laid their tax thus : Roads, ! 83A: roor.lt">?: and Public Buildinirs. 5 cer I ccnt on 1110 Stuto tax. Generally speaking, the crowd was orderly nml in a pleasant humor.

Public opinion, oa wo are reliably i"f".is "p.Jcrgoing r. s;:h:tr.ry chanjc ;r. the districts and parishes whero the opposition was docidcd and disastrous. The arguments of thoso who favor the completion of the road, after the progress that has been made, canaot be successfully moot, and must have their eifect. There is but one opinion on t he subject in this district, and, had it been thought necessary, expression would hare been allowed it through j tic medium of a public mooting on saleday.? The people of Pickens warmly sustain tlie enterprise, and Ave willing to aid it in tho way of tmbsoripiions .still further. Who will put tho hall in motion? Operations on the road, with the exception of tiie work at the Tunnel and some other points, have been suspended. Wc learn tlmt it is tho intention of the Company to continuo the work at the points here indicated, which course meets vrith our cordial approbation. / The suspension of tlie work on the line, as Stilted, lms resulted in great loss to the contractors, and much suffering on the part of the laborers. The latter, many of whom are foreigners, nre breaking off in every direction, bewailing; in their mother tongue, their almost penniless and truly pitiable condition. They have our sympathy in their present unfortunate con- ! dition, and we commend them to the kindness of I our hospitable citizens. Although n partial suspension of the work is pivjudici il to the interests of thodistriot, in almost every way, the Ions to our citizens eanno1 l?e conwidercd so groat, nswo have seen Indicated el?o where.
