THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD.-A visit ti:c depots and workshops or this old-time ins tutioa well repays any one who may desire note the footsteps or enterprise and progress, ls but a rew years ago that thc war left the ra road little more than a wreck-a track torn i and worn out; cars punched with bayonets, ape tered with tobacco, and dllapftated general from roor to running-gear; dingy depots, unha py looking engiues, and a dubious future fro which to tlraw hoperul Inspirations. Since tbe however, persistent energy has succeeded In blc tin.'out these eyesores or the past, ami slea i Increasing nosiness promises ti) replace the ol corporation upon that footing which once made celebrated among thc railway organizations i thc c-untry.

Its lubricating and illuminating oils, in short, every depariment shows energy and ad?termlnatiou lo economizo even in the most ordinary details.

ETIES. Can they not he Vntted-A Valnablc Suggestion. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. Sometime in December last the executive committee or the State Agricultural and Mechan? ical Society held a meeting, and resolved to call a combined meeting of the members or the society and the stockholders of the Auxiliary Joint Stock Company, in Columbia, on Wednesday, 8th Febru? ary next, at 7 o'clock, P. M. This resolution was published by the secretary in the Columbia Phoe? nix, and all papers In the State were respectfully asked to give their readers the benefit or this in? formation. I have never 6cen such notice in TOE NEWS; bu: I did see in your valuable paper the proceedings or Uie Charleston Agricultural Soci? ety (strangely called the South Carolina Agricul? tural Society.) In which was a resolution to ap? point a committee to attempt a union of that society with the State Agricultural and Mechani? cal Society. Now can that committee have any more propi? tious time to eflect the object or then appointment than at the meeting on the 8th February ? And, ir they do submit the proposition at that time, should not the members or tho South Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical Society, and the stockholders or the Auxiliary Company from Charleston, all be present at that meeting? Doubtless thc upper counties or the State will be well represented, and unless the seaboard ls there In force, to speak for herseir, we may little hope for a anion. At this meeting, too, many other topics will be discussed. I for one was mach pleased with Gov? ernor Scott's idea of thc State contributing half the premium list. Why should this not be done? Wc.are entitled to State atd, and why should we not have lt? Every State in the Union assists from Its treasury its Agricultural Society, but South Carolina. Our society la composed princi? pally of those citizens who pay thc major portion of tue taxes, aud by all msansshouM claim to be represented amongst those benefited by the State's expenditures. Will you not, too, Mr. Editor, for the benefit or those who are nt present grievlug over the low price or cotton, whisper Into the ears or the varl 3'JS railroad presidents that half-rare tickets tvould be promotive or grc.it good at that meet? ing in February? At such a meeting the mern oers should unquestionably discuss thc- questions ot profit and loss to the State by the present agrl :nltural system, and posshly some means might JO devised whereby better success could be se? cured for the future. We are now upon the thresh? ed of another year. Who can tell what will be? lie resa t of Its labors ? Respectfully, CHARLESTON. BUSINESS NOTICES.
