Dcar Courier,:-Karly this morning, I loft
Anderson, in company with ono ot two friends,
who wcro bound to tho Old Dominion. Tho

Anderson, but wo loft Columbia under n dour

At Cullimbin, wo mot the corpso of MARTIN,

from Leo county, Go., came aboard. Thoy ari
a fino body of men, nnd onthusinstlc^-rcndy nm

of tho 10th (On.) rogimont.
Tho distance from Kingsville to Wihningtoi
is 100 milos. Ono milo from the former place
commences tho Wnterco Swnmp, which is ratl:
cr a dismal looking placo. Tho swamp is thrc
miles long, and for that distanco tho railroad i

Thc country botweon Kingsville nnd 'Wi

nnd wo imagino it dees not produco well. Thc:
aro exceptions, of course, to this general r

Tho Capo Pour Rivor is crossed by stcambon
Wilmington is a city of considerable dimension
nnd doos a thriving trade in naval stores.
From this point, you take thc cars to Wcldo

On thia road, tho first place of importan

Weldon is a placo of dopots, dinner hom

Several lines of railroad diverge from this pi
