BATES 0? FREIGHT. Under a resolution of the Columbia Board of Trade, requesting the courtesy, we publish the J subjoined resolutions of that body, respecting the :. i freight lines to New York. We are inclined to the ,Z? opinion expressed by the" Phoenix, "that the route ,t/- that is the cheapest will doubtless receive the most Business,-" and it appears that the rates are about ^' equal on these competing lines. For instance, the '? v~tariff on- cotton to New York from Columbia is .-;,'$4.60 per bale on either route. It reminds one of "tweedledum and, tweedledee." But here aro the ^solutions-: Rtiotved, That in the opinion of the Board of j - Trade of Columbia, S.C, that we owe to the es c.-. iablishment and competition of the Air Line Route V?--from the North, via Portsmouth and Charlotte, the " recent reduction in freights on the South Carolina Railroad, which places us, for the first time, on equality with Augusta. Resolved, That our interests require that this route be sustained, and a wholesome competition : kept up," which is the only way of preventing, in ? future, a monopoly and advance in rates. That, therefore, our merchants, and those residing on the line of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad, be requested to sustain the Air Line Route by a libe ' - ral share of their business". NEWSPAPERS AND PERIODICALS. The Columbia Chronicle has been discontinued fox want of patronage. The proprietors made a ? . Brave struggle for existence, and we sincerely con? dole with ihem. Its pages were always lively and Bright, and its editorial columns were conducted ? ably. fc^The Kingstree (S. C.) Star is offered for sale. It ;^?ds the only paper published in Williamsburg Dis .-cl'trict, and'would seem to be a paying investment. ?V 'A practica! printer, with experience and energy, ^/-'eould not fail to realize handsomely from its pub? lication. Address R. C. Locan, Kingstree, S. C. . The Elbcrton (Geo.) Gazette has passed into the 1-hands of Mr. S. N. Carpenter, lately employed . :a this office, and a native of this District. In a ?well-written Salutatory, Mr. Carpenter makes his dehnt in old Elbert, and we trust that the in? telligent and refined people of that county will generously sustain him in the effort to furnish an '.. acceptable local organ. Several numbers of the Katiev Virginian have Been; received. It will be remembered that Dr. G. W. Baobts one of the best writers of this country, is the editor. W* have perused with no ordinary interest the sketch entitled "John M. Daniel's Latch Key," being a memoir of the late talented editor of the Riokmond Examiner, whose tun went down as the last rays of the lost cause burnished thevhorizon. This sketch alone is worth tha subscription price, S3.00 per annum. Ad? dress Baqdt & Stofeb, Orange C. H., Va. The Southern Cultivator was sold at Athens, Geo., -on tbo20th of November, for S4.500. The pur? chaser is Dr. Jones, of Liberty county. We have not received the December number, nor heard ? -where the paper will be published in the future. t Godey.?The December and January numbers of ] this invaluable Lady's Book have been received, and in dne time, but absence from home prevented an- earlier notice of the number for this month She January number contains many improvements, among them a new and beautiful typographical dress throughout. There is no magazine published. in the United States that expends so much money . :to gratify the growing taste of the American ladies &r everything that is tasteful and useful as the publisher of the Lady's Book, and there is none more popular among the fair sex. We have not ?pace to enumerate the costly beauty and mugnifi cont attractions of the number before us. "Phe mio Rowland," by Marion Harland, is another oharming story began in this issue. Every house? hold should have "Godey," and we want all our friends to remember that, if they are subscribers the Intelligencer, we can send them the Lady's Book at S2.50 per year. Send in your names and money without delay, as we are anxious to make a remittance to the publisher before Christmas. Demorul.?The current number"of this magazine ia at hand, and is really a gem. Its engravings and Jstories are excellent, while the "Christmas Dinner" looks good enough to eat, and is accom? panied* with proper receipts for cooking it. We notice several additions, in this number, of inter? est to the ladies?one of which is the enlargement of the already complete fashion department, and large page illustrations of bonnets, cloaks and chil? dren's costumes. The pattern sheet is a very valu? able, being printed on both sides. A feature of tha fashions is originality, and of special value to onr ladies, who want practical designs and infor? mation. Indeed, a lady expressed her admiration gf tharmagazine to us the other day, by saying "thai the fashions were just the thing for the limes ; economical and practical." We arc au? thorized to receive subscriptions at S2.60 per an? num, and will forward the names of any of our subscribers for that money. Frank Letlie*?Tt.e December number of this ' B?rge and houdsome mngaziao has also been re-' ceived. The publisher announces that the fashic Editress has just returned from Europe, where si has made arrangements which will render this tl most complete, useful and entertaining magazii in the world. These arrangements embrace, amoi other things, the reproduction of all the fashic plates given in foreign journals ; original lette from raris, describing the-latest modes; eut p per patterns of all fashionable garments ?a< month, and other attractive features. In the li erary department are engaged the best Americi and foreign writers, while superiority will be tl aim of the publisher in typographical cxecutio We will send this Magazine to any of ?ur Hubsci bers at $3.00 per annum. The above named periodicals are famished 1 us at fifty cents loss than the publishers' price fi eingle subscriptions, nnd at the same rate gene ?Hy as clubs. The attention of our ladies is i: vited specially to this offer, as we will forwai names at any time. -O REMOVAL OF TROOPS. General Order No. 14?, from the headquarters this Military District, announces a change in tl disposition of troops, by which Andorson will 1 no longer a military post. The following is tl arrangement of troops for this State, and "wi bo carried into effect with as little delay as poss Wo," according to the order named: Post of Laurtntvillf.?Companies G and I, 8t Infantry ; Lieut.

Ti command to embrace the Districts of Chcsterfieh Darlington, Marlboro, Marion, Horry, William; burg, Georgetown, Charleston, Collcton, Berkele aid the sea islands of Beaufort District. The following paragraph from this order will t found interesting : Post Commanders will keep themselves cor etantly and fully informed of the condition of th country within the limits of their commands, an to this end will put themselves in communicatio with the Sheriffs, Chiefs of Police, and other peac officers of thc Counties or Districts, and will rc quire from them such reports as may be necessary In 'he execution of the duty committtcd to th military authority by the laws of the United State. commanding officers will act as far as possible h and through the civil authorities, and will giv them moral support and physical aid whenever i may be necessary to secure thc proper and tull ex edition of the duties imposed upou them by law but this will not be construed as authorizing ar rests to be made or guards to be furnished by tb military authorities when the means under ? li< control of the civil authorities are adequate. When ever any civil officer, magistrate or court neglect: or refuses to perform any official act properly re quired of such officer or tribunal, whereby dm and rightful security to person or property is de nied, the case will be reported by the Post Com mander to these headquarters, with all the fact: and evidence required for proper comprehcnsioi and action. When the civil authorities refuse oi fail to arrest persons charged with crime, or whet offences arc committed in violation of the polia regulations established by military authority foi the preservation of order or the protection of per "sons or property, commanding officers will cans? the accused parties to be arrested, and, upon ex amination, held for trial or discharged, if thc nc cusation should not be well founded. When citi? zens committed for trial cannot be immediately brought to trial, they will be admitted to bail if th< crime or offence with which they arc charged ii bailable under the laws of the Slate in which il was committed. BROWNLOW AS HE IS. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, wri I ting from Nashville, gives the following sketch ot old BaowNLow. It is easy to surmise from the initials, "E. T. B.," and from thc fact that he was attending thc General Assembly of the Presbyteri? an Church, who this correspondent really is. Were it not for thc high churacter sustained by tho wri? ter, we should adjudge- his pleasantry in asking Parson B. about Iiis membership to be unqualified? ly malicious. But here is tho interview truthfully told, we have no doubt : ? Thc Rev. Mr. White, of Chester, CoL Lee, of Sumter, and myself, wandered to thc magnificent capitol of Tennessee, and actually paid a visit to the renowned, or shall I say infamous, or satanic Brownlow, and nctunlly saw him aird talked with him, we, all South Carolinians, and suffered no ar? rest. I like much to seo curiosities. Wc found him lying on his back on a lounge. He is sick?could not rise to receive us, but asked us to sit. Ile is a man of moderate size, with an intelligent and mild face, and speaks pleasantly. He has what they call "the dead palsy," and shakes all ovor, and it is pitiable to see him. His friends say it arises,from bad treatment from the Confederates while in prison in Knoxville. How this is I do not know, but it seems to me ns if he was smitten by God, and had the mark of Cain set upon him. He told me he was suffering from acute rheumatism. And sorely as ho oppresses thc Tenncssceans, one thing is oertain, his own life is one of paiu and anguish. He is pale and sickly, and canuot, I opine, mucli longer do harm. He is sixty-five years old, and yet has not a grey hair. He lives in the rooms assigned him in thc capitol, and never leaves it to go anywhere. The people here say he is afraid lo como out, less some one may shoot him, but I do not think so. He is so feeble, and disturbed by locomotion, that he finds it best to stay in one place. His mind is said to be as active and plotting ms ever, and his sickness does not seem to sanctify, but exasperate him. I was spokesman for the party; said nutbing of politics; told him of thc General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church; of Dr. Stuart Robinson's preaching in the McKcndree Methodist Church, and its effect; of Dr. Plumer, his giant proportions I and patriarchal appearance, and the like. He asked mc if the General Assembly was getting on harmoniously. I told him it was, and that we were doing a great deal of business, and that eve? rything was going on with a bright and beautiful sunlight above us. That our whole body was one of union and friendship. Herc I ventured, n little in mischief, to ask him if his mcmherxhin- was at tlie McKendi ee Church. Ile answered very pleas? antly, no, but in Knoxville. And this man, this said Urownlow?the Alaric, the Goth?thc man that crushes to earth all that is wise, and good and excellent in Tennessee, nud lift up to poison the atmosphere all that is ignorant, nnd vile and des? picable, is a member of Christ's Church, and a ministerof the Gospel. But Judas Iscariot, Simon Magus, Alexander the coppersmith, and others of the snnic class were in tho Apostolic Church. God has always seen fit lo permit wicked men to pros? per for a season, and alllict Church and State. ? -?>. EXTRAORDINARY YIELD. The annexed paragruph is floating around thc sea of journalism : Th? Athens Watchman tells of a most, extraordi? nary yield of corn?two hundred bushels and twelve quarts for one acre ! lt was raised in Rich? land District, South Carolina, tty Dr. Parker. Unless we are greatly mistaken, this extraordi? nary yield waa made about ten years ago. Reading Koom.?The members of the Reading Club arc notified that the room in rear cf Mr. Fant's Book Store has been opened ns a Read? ing Room, and that the latest papers from all parts ef tko country are constantly on fila. I LOCAL AND STATE NEWS. Does Joe McGek Tell the Tkuth ?? People inclined to believe that Joe McGee- some? times prevaricates, are assured that ho will prove he is in earnest in the declaration that he will sue every man owing him, unless they pay him by the let of January. We shall see what we shall see, and niggers, too. JOS. B. McGEE. Premium.?To the person sending the best Carrier's Address on or by the 20th of Decem? ber, we will forward the Inlelligenetr for the en? suing year. A committee of competent gentlemen will ho requested to make the award. Turnips.?We neglected to return thanks to our friend, Mr. David Geeb, for a mess of fine turnips sent to this office last week. They were of the large white Globo variety, sweet and delicious. Another Ciia.nqe of Schedule.?The reader will observo that the schedule on tho Green? ville and Columbia Railroad has been changed again. Although we regret losing the connection with the night train to Charleston, there is somo consolation in daily trains to Walhalla once more.. TJ. S. Marshal's Sale.?The house and lot advertised in our oolumns for several weeks, and known as the Matuieheen place, was sold at auc? tion on last Saturday for $1300. This is doubtless the full Talue of the premises now, considering the scarcity of money and uncertainty of the times although before the war this property was sold for ?1800. Hogs.?A small lot of Tennessee hogs were sold in this market on Saturday last, at 9. cents gross. We learn that soveral other droves aro expected this week. Cash receipts in this es? tablishment aro not sufficient for editors to aspire the dignity of "hog and hominy," and unless our friends display greater promptitude in settling their indebtedness, we shall be obliged to look upon the porcine species with longing eyes. Burglart.?On Monday night last, the store of Elijah Webb, Esq., was broken into, and a small sum of money taken from the drawer. The back door of the counting-room was forced open with a piece of iron, and it was evidently expected by the burglar that considerable money was in the house, as tho room was well searched. Mr. Conn, the Revenue Collector, collected taxes in this room on Monday, and tho fact was doubtless known and appreciated by the thief. But he "reckoned without his host," and only got a few dollars for his trouble. No goods wore molested. Personal.?Rev. W. IT. Steatton, Pas? tor of the Presbyterian Church in this place, re? turned home ft few days ago, having been absent in attendance on the sittings of tho General As? sembly in Nashville, Tcnn. A. T. Bhoylks, Esq., also returned last week from a business trip to the West, after an absence of six or eight weeks. Both these gentlemen might interest many of our readers by giving an account of what they saw and heard. We would feel more than obliged were they to act upon the suggestion. Fires.?We learn that the gin-house of Mr. Samuel Smith, about seven miles South of this place, was destroyed by fire on Friday last, and a large quantity of cotton consumed. The fire originated by friction of the machinery. The dwelling of Mr. Pleasant Kay, three miles East of the village, was totally cjnsumcd by fire on Sunday, 1st inst. It was the work of an incen? diary. Tho family had left the house to visit a neighbor, and had only been absent about an hour, and there had been no five in the room where tho flames evidently began. The entire building and contents were consumed, not even any part of the clothing being saved. Wo would caution our people against careless? ness or inattention about their premises, especially at this season of tho year. Charleston Papep.b.?Within the re? collection of this deponent, the Queen City has j never bcon better supplied in the way of newspa I pers. And this is meant to say, better in every respect. Three handsome dailies, ably and cour? teously conducted, and each alive to the interests of Charleston, and energetic in their own advance? ment likewise. We have recently alluded to (be change in the management of tho Daily Newt, and deem it only necessary now to declare that improvement and progress havo marked its course every day, and that the gentlemanly proprietors and editors de? serve the generous encouragement being accorded to them. Among the favorites of ye olden time there are more gentlemen with spectacles in this State who will swear by tho Courier than is the case with any other journal. Tho reason is obvious, for more than a half century has elapsed since the first number was printed, ami though never strictly a political journal, its commercial columns have been accurately prepared during all that time. Hence its popularity with merchants of long standing and planters of the patriarchal era. At the present date, the Courier is none the less valuable in a commercial point of view, while editorials and cor? respondence from all the principal cities makes it doubly attractive. But we were a little surprised the o'tber day at the enterprise of this staid and sober sheet. The President's Message appeared in full on the morning of the 3rd inst., and it was not received by Congress until uoon. Indeed, an editor way up in the Peo Dec country actually read the Message in the Courier's extra before the loyal representatives of the nation were favored with its reading in the halls of Congress. This is a woudeTful feat in journalism, and only the initia? ted can account for its accomplishment. But we are not "going to tell talc3 out of school," and re? fer to it par parenthesis. The Mercury has so long been the exponent of what is termed the "peculiar politics" of South Carolina that a mere mention of its name is suffi? cient to attract attention. It is n.little more than a year since its publication was resumed, and we are gratified to know that old patrons and new friends arc sustaining the proprietors with a liberal hand. As a news and political journal, tho Mereury is among the foremost iu enterprise and ability. Vic may well congratulate the citizens of Charles? ton upon their daily press, and would urge them to even greater liberality in cherishing these lively representatives of their city. The success and ad? vancement of business interests depends greatly upon an intelligent and active press?more than people generally are willing to admit. In conclu? sion, if any of our friends desiro to subscribe for either of the papers named, we arc ready at all times to forward their subscriptions. J Masonic,?At a regular convocation of Burning Buen Chapter, No. 7, R. A. M., held on Monday night last, thc following Companions were elected as officers to serve the ensuing Masonic year : James A.

A Good axd Cheap Paper for Evert Family.?Wc have received the Amerieam Agri? culturist for December, and this number closes thc Twenty-sixth Volume of that paper. We are sure that those who have taken it last year must feel that they have received a large return for the money invested. The Agriculturalist is a large periodical of 32 to 40 pages, well printed, and filled with plain, practical, reliable, original mat? ter, including hundreds of beautiful and instructive engravings in every annual volume. It contains each month a Calendar of Operations to be performed on the farm, in the orchard and garden, in and around thc dwelling, etc. Tho thousands of hints and suggestions given in every volume are prepared by practical intelligent working men, who know what they write about. Thc household department is valuable to every housekeeper, affording very many useful hints and directions calculated to lighten aud facilitate in? door work.. Thc department for children and youth is pre? pared with special care, to furnish not only amuse? ment, but also to inculcate knowledge and sound moral principles. Circulation and Terms.?Thc circulation of the American Agriculturalist (about 100,000) is so large that it can bc furnished at the low price of $1.50 n year; four copies, for $5 ; ten copies for $12; twenty or more, $1 each; single numbers, 15 cents each. We advise all our readers to try it a year. Sub? scriptions should bc sent to the publishers, Or? ange J rai) & Co., 215 Broadway, New York City. December and M a v.?While the sale was going on in front of tho Court House, hist Saturday, it was whispered around that a well known individual, supposed lo be in the "sere anil yellow loaf of manhood, was desirous of being spliced lo a fair damsel, with pink bonnet and light spring calico, who seemed intently walebing thc result, of the auctioneer's ham mer. Advice was gratuitously tendered, and thc love-lorn swain re? ferred to his Honor Judge Mcbbay for that conso? lation necessary- to his perturbed condition. Im? mediately repairing to the residence of Judge M.? the happy couple wore followed by a goodly num? ber of individuals anxious to witness thc nuptials and though unbidden guests, they were warmly welcomed by thc host, ami invited to seats in thc luxurious parlor. When all things had been made ready, the parties were requested to stand up, ?nd in solemn aud impressive form they were united in tho holy bonds of wedlock. The groom was all ?miles, while tho bride blushingly assented, In less titan a trice after being pronounced husband and wife, the joyous couple escaped from the gaze of spectators, and left the house?thc groom, how? ever, signifying his intention of making due coro" pensation, for the service rendered by his Honor, at a more convenient season.

We extract the follewing pertinent and spicy paragraphs from the last number of the Louisville Journal, and are confident that our readers will appreciate them : One radical paper, greatly prefcring Wade to Grant, attacks the literature of the latter. He says that Grint talks ungrammatically and pro? nounces badly. The radicals would no doubt like the General's pronunciation well enough if they could get from him a "pronunciamento" to their liking. The subject of introducing pure air into the House of Representatives has been brought up in that body. But no matter what amount of pure air may get into the House, it will be polluted as soon as it gets in. The chief thing decided by the late elections is, that ours must and shall he a white man's govern? ment. Several important matters were decided, but they were mainly embraced in this. Horace G;:eelcy professes to have made himself. If we had done the work lor him, we would have done it better, or else have thrown the thing aside as "one of our failures." The Portland Advertiser asks whether the radi? cals of Congress "will still dance to the music of Thad. Steveu's banjo." If they do, they will dance a "break-down." The Southern negroes aro determined to have entire possession of the polls. A very sweet odor of nationality such pole-cats will spread around them. The objectiou to some of the military appointees in Louisiana is that they are not kuown.- To oth? ers, that they are. New Advertisements. Notice.
