A Since the termination of tho war, wo have heard much on thc subject of emigration, but have scott very little done in that direction. In Newberry, better success has attended thc labors of thc enterprising. Three hundred ublc bodied men have been introduced into that County in thc last three years. This is a result of tho most cheering character. There arc thirty-ono Counties in thc State. Euch could have accomplished what New berry has, and this would have given us 0,300 able bodied emigrants.

Dear Courier: A inn to Walhalla and bock is no pleasant trip, notwithstanding tho com fort und conveniences obluicod on tho Creon ville Railroad. This road is in good condition and makes good timo, nt least BO far as is con sistent with safely, and wo prefer to praiso a sate to a breakneck gait. Tho condition and management of thc road reflects thc highest credit on its managers, but Ibero is ono thing lacking. Tho froight and passenger rates arc ruinously high. Tho bitter impedes travel and diminishes tho earnings of tho road, ut thc sacrifico of tho intcicsts of thc people. Thc former drinks up the hard earnings of the fur nier and discourages production. Tho policy is suicidal. Wo uro satisfied, that with a re duction of rates, tho amount of froight and travel Would double the earnings of thc road in a few years. Political economy abounds with illustrations of Ibis fact in matters of na tional revenue, and not a singlo lustnncoonn bo pointed out, where n decrease of tho tax on a particular article, bas not resulted in such an increase-in its production as to enhance tho gross iucomofroui it. Such, wo are sure, would be true of freights likewise. Freights may become so high as to condorn product worthless, all its value in market, hoingconsumed in thc transportation, and in fact b-gji ,;xje3 l,j.vftV? tend to diminish pr^Juctlou. %'{<> evi]' \v0 lear can bo caused on 1;; 'uy competition' In fl ?f 01 ;''comVolition bas run so Ililli that ?ifs,, class iroights were charged at 25 cents Por Viumlrod from Now York to Ohioago, a die Vance of 1,000 milos. Hero wo pay 75 couta per hundred for tho lowest class (iron) from Columbia to WalhalTa, a distance of 100 milos. Tho eiloot is to oripplo tho trade of Walhalla, which busto contend with Athens, Georgi?, aim build up that place nod thc Uoorgia Recd- Wt liopo this will not long exist, and that a throng; lino of froight s will bo established as low a: tho rates on tho Georg fa Roads.
