The Years GoLy.
A child sleeps under a roso bish fiair
Tho hidi .iwell 'ut in hte soft .Mfay air;
Sweetly it reats' tili oi dream whiags flies
To play with the anagelk itt Paradise,
And the yoais go by.
A ma ton amindi by 'he rose bush fair;
Theilewy blossotne perfume the al-;
Shoe presies her hatd to her throbbing
breast
With lote's wonderful rapture blest.
And the years go by.
Another kneels by the rose bush fair;
Soft sigh the-leaves in the evening air;
Sorrowing thoughts of the past arise,
Anid tckra of anguish bedim her eyes.
And the years go by.
Naked and lone stands the rose bush fair;
Whirledi are its leaves in I iho autuntn air ;
Witiered gnd deid, .they fall to the ground,
And silently cover a new made mound.
AnAa the years go by.
The South Carolina Exilroad Oompany.
In our issue of Wednesday we pub
lished the pr<.oedinga of a Commit
tee of the . Senate on . tho matters of
the freight charges of the South Caro
lina "Railroad, between Camden and
Kingsvillo. These proc edin s were
based upon a' compl-afiC Inade by a
merohant of .tho fort..or place. The
South Qarolina lallros Company is
the pioporty of a-latge num br of
our citizens, who are poor; many have
saved but little else from the wrook of
the war. It ia i t portant to. them that
the %a'u3 of thela property
should not b6 unfavatably affected by
representations ivt,corregti.u point of
fact, or of.facts gredtlyt'qxRgggrated
and distqrted, to gratify personal feel.
ing, or to promote self6h ends. We
know those who have been entrusted
with the manngement of this property.
Wea know, also, what Ioborr and diffi
culties they have had 'to encounter in
providing for the public a highway,
and aocoimodatious not inferrior to
those onjo-ed in any section o. the
Southern oon try. * We -know further I
that it is claimed, and we believe,
justly, that their rates of freight and
pasange are to-day lower thin any in
the State or near it. Still we hear
this clamor kept up, and its continu
ance forces us to coaelude th.,t there
is soathiting, more in it - than appoars
on the miurfae. To'do justice, there
furo, to all parties, we 'sought out
itnformation from those whom we re
garded authorized abd able to furnish
it. and iseertain the facts of this case
to be simply thoso: That the parties
who complain in this case have never
appronoid'tho'Dirootors of the COi
pany with any statoment of their
grevances; that the South Carolina
I tijroad Company has rno quchl charg.
es per 100 1ouuds upon any of its
freight tarifA nas are stated in the
reports; that its charges for freight
from Camaiden to Kingaville %re precise
ly the" emo, as they arj fo:r slniilar
distances fruom Charleston, from Ce=
Jumina, or from.Auagusta,.
Now we conffers, with these state
mnerts befdrme us, 'w' are at -a loss to
comprehen4 ther neoessity of .the pro.
oeeding to which we are refering.

Edwin K. Stanton.
The New York Democrat makes tho
follobing startling statement :
Thriotibe -robust man vent to his
own death, though the partieulaks of
his demise areas yet not fully public,
enough i known to prQo .that in a dt
of terror, when he trembled like a
leaf shaken by the storm at the ghost
of the murdered *onan, who stood
before his vision, he out his thi6at,
and died to osospq his great dread.
For years b has lived the life of. A
Donsciono0-strioken wretoh. We 'per
son,lly know that he haa told a gen
bleman in this city-a gentlerati high
in judicial position, and who is knowdl
is the eoul of truth and honqr,-,that
sine the murder of Mrs. Suratt he,
Stanton, had not known one hour of
peace.
Said he, when speaking of thi

suffered-how I do suffer. Every

United States have "folt tife generous

paring to "resign" that .recious booi'

gsarhbishl ild, of the herolo 'deed
of Rome's lep'ublic, of Hofer,: of
Tell, of our'wn beloved Washington.
We have felj all the indlgbatton of
our nature iroused at the recital of
the acta of Nero, ;f Dyonislus, and of
Oalignla. We have arisen from the
perusal .of the histories of Libterty's
struggles against Tyranny, and thank.
ed God that we lived in a land, where
Freedotm seen ed a natural' growth,
and .Tyrasny could bever, flourish.
With heartfelt pride, we havelooked
up 'toethd old flag"'?as the emble 'of
all that wasgood and grand in politi

The sceptre of Israel J!p passed into
alien hands., The soil has become
choked with weeds of noxious growth.
'-The old flag," no longer the emblem
of frecdonm, but "a flaunting lie,"
seems but to proteot Tyranny and
villainy ia their evil machinations.
The "beacon light" has gone out and
left us in thedarkness of oppression;
and "the old ship of State," dashed
about up60 the breakers of Radical
ism, threatens instantly to go to piec

stand unmoved, unmindful of the evil
;which is portending for them. Day
after day Despotism moves on, slowly
but surely, treading down, one after
another, the liberties and the institu

landmarks of the Constitution, and
sEtting up Its crown in every State to
be respected, obeyed, yea worshipped,
by the blind apathotio fools, who can
see no dauger in the instant mutter

flashes which illumine the' Politioal
sky and betokon.the coming storm.
Oh, that wp had the power to waken

We would thunder it in "their ears,.
that American Republicanism is well
nigh gone, and Imperialism will soon
assume its place.

8,000,000 pounds of guano have been
received and delive:ed into the hands
of dealers and consumers since the
15th day of last N1ove'mber. 8,000,
000 pounds more have passed over the

the country."
There 16O,000,000 of pounds mako
8,000 tonq w(rth an average of about
$80 per ton, or In the aggregrato over
$l1,250,000. This is a Iarge trade,
and shovis to what extent planters in
Southwest Georgia now rely upon
oim meroial fortelizomr in the -~produc
in cotton. Large as this showing is,
it does not compare with thb guano
trade of the city. We have one con
ecrn here-tho Dickson- Fortii.ing
Compny-whiech has sold and re
o.,ived orders for tuore than 5,000
tong, atid new orders to the ex
tent of hundreds of tons are pour.
ing in upon them daily. This is a
hote eompany, and we are re'.d1od
to chronioio its noinirable 0uces.
We have other larg dealers in
guano here, some of whom have sold
ai much as 3,000 tons. We believe
we would be clearly witib bonuds in
saying that Augusta dealers have sold
at least 30,000 tons this season, worth
over $2,500,000.-Augusta Chronecle
