PICKENS C. II., S. C.:
Saturday Morning, January 8, 1859.
Apologctic
Circumstances have combined to cxnctnn apology
from us this week. 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 !
M ! il.. 0. -4- * -- A '
nujijiiiui, u men liiuruii^u^ uiu outtu MIX IU
a considerable extont. This has bcon done :
to prosorvo the credit of tho State, for liabilities
before incurred, an J which have been
been materially, though necessarily increased, ,
at this session.
Acts to "incorporate tho Blue It'ulgo Min- j
ing Company" ami the " Chauga Lime and
Manufacturing Company" also appear this j
week. 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.
AVe are indebted to the Chairman of our
Delegation for the appointments, made by the
Legislature, for the district at largo, to wit:

Saleday.
Monday lust was a busy day at (his placo.?
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. A few, with spirit*
"white, blue or reil," rained their voices to a
key note, as the day waned, keeled over, and
clung to mother earth with quite an affectionate
embrace!
The Blue Ridgs Hail Road.
The discussion upon the questiou of abandoning
tbis imoortant cntei-nriHo is noi-vndiiiir nl
jnost Uic entire .State. The proas, with general
unanimity and warmth, favor the completion of
the project. 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. Tho price of produce remains
the mimo, with no diminution in tho value of our
re:il estate. We have within our borders tho
elements of wealth and greatness, which must
eirry with them improvement and gcuerul pros
pority. Forbearance, in our trading (rnntiacactlons
and dealings, should bo the aim of a)!"\Yo
arc not to be mi?uud?jj??ood by (Ids as un
, dorcsti mating the advantages tobWliiveufroin
the railroad?by no means?for its curly cotnplution
will be of incalculable advantage to the
'wholo country, and to no section mora than our
own. It is a work demanding our means, talent
and united energy, nhd ia worthy of them all.
We direct attention to several articles on our
first page, copied from the Charleston "Morcu
r), 011 tliis subject.
The Weather.
We think wo are entitled to sponk feelingly
on thin subject. For tho last ten weeks, with
one exception, ruin has fallen on Moodily, and
generally throughout the week. The st re time
hare not been unusually lull, but the earth nppcars
to be perfectly saturated with water. As
a noces3ary consequence, the roiuls are in a deplorable
condition?the mud being deep, general,
and adhering with the tenacity of n miser"
ly Rr'P* Early this week, it was very cold,
clear and bracing?tho mountains being wliitc
with snow. Thursday it rained again, and to
day (Friday) il is warm, with dark "clouds lowering
o'er our head," portending mokk kain !
Verily, we aro on wet times.

documents of importance.

A slave trading schooner, the Wanderer. Ian

this unlawful traffic have been arrested and arc

Homo forty or fifty of the Africans passed over
the railroads from there to New Orleans, and
of course attracted much attention. They are

^This little one who was so mucli loved by licr

lias passed away, but wliilo this lovely
little flower'faded on earth, it was transplanted
in Heaven to bloom eternally, and when her
bright eyes were closed in tlie trannuil sltfrnber
of dentil, we could only say. "()! death wlieio
is thy sling ; O! grave where is thy victory."
Although it seems hard to see death throw its
cold and icy mantle around these tender ties and
sever them from the kind embrace of their Parents.

of a kind Providence and say nil is well. For
while we mourn her lost, on earth her pure spirit,
has ascended on high to a land of pure delight
to,unite wit h the. celestial choir in singing I ho
praises ot the redeemed forever.
Alas ! how changed that lovely flower
Which bloomed and cheered my heart,
Fair, iiccting comfort of an hour,

For her who rests above?
