On tho way, when * in nbout fifty or sixty yards of Bryco's house, thay wcro accosted by two porsons, ono of whom enquired of Cox who wcro preseul. Cox replied, himself and Bryco.

Tho following oxtn.ct will show how tho trado of Charleston ie hoing divortod. This comos from tho Eastern part of tho State, but sounds like tho formor manngemont on thc Greenville and Columbia and Charleston roads: .'FLORENCE, August 22.-Tho morohants havo bought largely from traveling salesmen, but tho stocks aro not yet in Btoro. Much of j tho purchases wore from Northern houses. Tho reason is plain. I havo taken paias to bo posted on this subject. Our merchants eay that ??lections nro ns good, pricos aro as low, terms as accommodating in Charleston ns Now York, Boston or Baltimore, but tho groat difforonco of freight forces them to buy away from Charleston. For instance, the freight on bacon, sugar and codeo from Char leston, up to a Bhort timo ago, wns about 80 conts per 100 pounds, nod all other things as high b> proportion; from Now York cn gro* corics it is 40o por hundrod; from ?altimoro 45o por hundred, and all other goods lower in proportion. Thon there aro other induce* monts ofTorod by Northorn mnrkots in tho shapo of low freight on cotton, freo tickets to largo ootton shippers and merchants to visit Norfolk, &o., low rate of interest, loss loss of woights on cotton, moro economical handling, &o. Why is this so? Suroly Charleston cnn do ns muoh as Norfolk or ovon Now York and BnUimoroin thoso rospocte, and why is it not done? Cannot Charleston got up ox. oursions for buyers and businoss mon? Cannot oho remedy all the evils complained of? Oortninly sho oan; and if sho doos not oho will soo her legit i mato trado ol ip through her fingers and go Northward. Already wo hoar farmers say, 4,Wo must buy our guanos ?way from Charleston-can't stand tho high freight." Thcro is no roason for this. Caro? lina fertilizers should bo sold at homo most oortninly; but if tho fnrmor and tho merchant: can got ns good for loss money at some other place they will go to that othor placo. 1 board a gontloman from this placo who has just returned from a mooting of tho Snnte Orango at Chostor say that ho heard many Say nt tho Stato Orango that not one-third of Ih J cotton will go to Chnrloston unless thoro ' .,v ; ' \ . .. ? ..>..'\... - should bo n decided ofmngo in t Ii o rate of freights, Aa, and that "freo tickets woro of fered to buyers by Norfolk merchants for thia fall and spring'"' 'f'hoso and many other vroro tho complaints he told mo of farmers and merchants ns to Charleston. It is (ruo that after our morohants have suffered and complained a long t'rme tho Northenstern Railroad has rcoontly lowered tho ratos of freight on heavy goods very much, but I fear it io too lalo for thc bulk of tho first purobav? sors of the fall stocks, and still their rates aro high compared with the Northorn rates? All thia trado legitimately belongs to Char-* loston, und it is to bo hoped that tho railroads I will not stand botwoon tho country morohan t and the farmer and tho Charleston merchante and faotors." FLORENCE, S. C., August 23. To the Editor of the News and Courier: ? see in to-day'8 issue of your paper a pieco headed "Thc Freight Question," writton by somo ono hero who signs his name "Caroli na." Ho says tho prices of goods in Char* lesion are as low as in Now York, Boston or Baltimore, but on account of high freights tho morchants aro compelled .to buy North. For instance, ho says, freight ou bacon, sugar and cotTeo from Charleston is 80c per 100 pounds. I have been herc nearly seven years and tho highest rates I havo ever soon from that point is ns follows: Sugar 05o per 100 pounds, oofleo and bacon 45o per 100 pounds, which has boon reduced now to 30o. Ile also montions that tho rate on groceries from Now' York os being 48o, and from Baltimore 45o por 100 pounds. Tho freight from Now York to this point on groceries and dry goods is $1.40 por 100 pounds, and from Bultimoro $1.34. It is duo to tho causo of truth that tho erroneous figures of "Carolina" bo cor rected. ?JTIZBN. -- ?-* ? *-?-. Tho Ladies of Carolina. Tho Ladios' Memorial Association of Char leston, organized for tho purposo of erecting a monument to the Confederate doad, aro now earnestly endeavoring to raiso tho funds necessary to complote that long oinoe begun at Magnolia Ccmotcry. In this ccmotcry lie tho remains of men who, at tho call ot duty, loft thoir homos in all parts of this and many sister States, and gavo their livos for the deienso of their country. It is to do thom honor that wc aro now striving, and if those from among whom so many of them carno, will unito with us in this good work, wo will welcome their aid. A Military Fair will bo held in thia city in tho socond week of Janu ary, 1880. Contributions to it, either in the form of direct subscriptions, or of work, ?ko., will bo gladly received.

Tho Confcdornto soldier, by reason of his fuiluro to bo sucooss ful in tho war, receives no pension, and has no government to bestow honors on him, nt erect monuments to tho memory of tho dead, It is ?B fit, therefore, that tho WOMEN OF Till SOUTH should build monuments, not only ir thoir hearts and memories, - but of lasting granito, to perpetuate tho heroic deeds o rearma mu rising generation tnat devotfori fe duty, whether successful or not, is ono of tlx highett and noblest virtues.

Societies, at Chostcr, was a most inter osting ono. Essays on u uumbor of subjeel woro road, and thoso questions iutclligontl and forcibly discussed. Col. Duncan wt heard on "Tho Grnssos," at.d wo givo a bril synopsis of what ho said: Ho began with an amusing description i tho troubles of an essayist, and set to rccoui his experiences with grass. Ho referred the magnificent descriptions of the lands ? South Carolina in Ramsay's History of Soul Carolina. Tho first in tho list of grasses was r< clover, which had three uses-a fertilizer, hay maker and for grazing. By growir clover a vast amount of mineral water wi drawn close to tho surface, and ronden available for wheat. This, ho thought, wi tho explanation well known adaptability clover fields for growing wheat. Its olo growth, too, kopt back much of tho nuurisl ing properties of tho land nud prevented i oscapo, just as a board laid on land for length of limo would ncoumulnto a lot of vt unblo fertilizing minorai. Ho recounted li experience with a field which, when fir cleared, would yield five hundred pounds seed cotton, and after -cvoral years of clov and other gruesos produced three heavy bal of cotton in a bad year. Ho also gavo cth instanced of similar benefits from it to otb crops. His experience with it for grazii had also boon gratifying, and his advice ovory farmer was to havo at once a good dov patch. Ho thought tho frequently cor plninod of failures in growing clovor w attributable to tho common practico of gro ing other crops with it, Tho host grass, ho ever, for tho South was tho orcharu grn and bo quoted authorities to sustain his poi lion. It would grow anywhoro, was avniltil for food nonrly tho year around, did not o haust tho soil Uko timothy, and when or established nothing could hurt it. Ho li ploughed up a four nero lot of it, whioh j out tho noxt yoar as woll ns over. Tho b time to sow it waa in Soptombor. Another good grasa was tho lucerno. 1 had plantod it in nn old garden spot, a with a little assistance it had "whipped ot nut gross and woods. Horses were vory fo of it, and it was available for food in < spring and fall, and made fine hay. Timothy, he did not think, would stand ( olimato, and other grasses either required rich soil or woro too delioato. Ho was t acquainted with tho Bormudu, and did want to bo. II in advice was to rat tacts not to grow hay for solo unless tboy proposo to mako n speoialty of lt.- Tho '?JoVor jw en c?llame, ho wovor, tor tho South was tho Hold pen.

For tho Inst four or five years bc bad boon ploughing pons among his oat and wboat stublo with good result.

Ho closed with iv vory handsomely worded invocation fo'fnfmors to mnko their homos attractive so that tho mus cles, brains nnd hearts of- thou* children should be nttrooted to their old homesteads, and their sons romain producors, instead of feeble oonsumors in somocrowdod city. How to Keep tho Fall Trado. Tho Charleston News and Courier is on tho right track now. That papor wants "to koop tho full trndo," in Charleston, and makes a very good suggestion looking to that ciid. 'Tho Nexos and Courier says: ?. .'Tho South Carolinn and connecting rail roads doubtless consulted their ow? intorost wjien thoy : inaugurated tho system of cheap summer excursions to tho mountains, which have boen so popular and successful. Novor tholess, it is very fortunato for Ohnrloston that, tlioso roads aro controlled by a monagc mont wiso enough to soo that what is bebt for the oin;y is also best for tho railroads, and our community is duly grateful to tho railroad authorities for tho groat b?nofiis derived from their liberal policy. ' ? ? "Having carried everybody away who could possibly go, tho railroads now ImvG a good opportunity to make money for themselves and to boncfit Charleston at tho sam ? time by bringing visitors into tho city. 'J bc season for thc fal? trndo is at band, and all tho pivr ohants at interior towns nnd cross-roads nro now making their arrangements to lay in their stocks for tho busy season. Many of thoso dealers think of going to Now York or Baltimore, and, unions something be dono to turn them in a different direction, tboy will cortninly go North. It is to the interest of tho railroads and of Charleston that they should como hither, nnd although wc cannot expect to draw thom nil, thcro is little doubt that an excursion to Charleston from nil points on tho linc of tho Soutlr Carolina and connecting roads, nt as low ratos as those that bavo boen given from Charleston, would in duco two-thirds at leapt of thc merchants of tho intorior to come to this city nnd.givo this market a trial. Onco let thom come and tb?ro is no doubt about their buying; tho market in many respects is tho very host for tho trudo which most of thoso mcrobants do, and they will soon bo convinced of that fact. Tho point is to got thom boro-and it is cer tainly worth tho whilo of tho railroads to mnko thc effort; for, in addition to tho profit to bo mndo from tho excursion itself, there is thnt willoh will como from tho additional freight on tho purchases, to say nothing of thc futuro benefits from a gcnornl extension of tho business of tho city. Wo hope that thc railroads will net, and act at onco, on thc suggestion." ...'.'flnmnal?l?ni? --??? i ll?)? .Ufo^ift ? ?, iiV-m'Wwt* for it. Her railroad hiAhoritios and mer chants must compoto with tho Air Lino ned other roads for tho trade and travel in this section. Tho suggestion of tho News and Courier is a commencement, nnd well worthy of a trial. A Visit to Greonvillo. Recently n happy party from Bachelor's ltc trcot and Councross Vnlloy mndo their adieu tu Oconcc and were merrily gliding along to Hie city by thc mountains. Three nnd n half hours drive brought us to Seneca Uiver, which showell by ils muddy waters thal wc alone lind not been visited by copious rains. Tho crops on the ri vol were exceedingly fine.

RICHLAND Cunten, August 22, 1870. A meeting of tho citizens of Richland com munity was called at Richland Churoh on Friday, 22d of August, 1870, for tho purpose of dis cussing thc stock or fence law.

Wo believe that every farmer'should own a good form. "Wo believe that tho fertilizer of any soil is a spirit of enterprise, industry and intelligence; without those, lime, gypsum and guano will bc o{ but little uso. Wc believe in good fences, good farmhouses, good orchards and good children enough to gather tho fruit. Wo bclicvo in a cleon kitchen, a noot wifo in it, n clean cupboard, a dairy, and a olear conscicnco. Wc believe that to ask a man's ndvico is not stooping, but of much benefit.
