R. IC. Scott, the Columbia Canal and Carpet-Baggers. From political and party influence. Gen. R. K. Scott was elected to the Chief Magis? tracy of the State of Sonth Carolina, and therefore a distrust was engendered in the public mind, that bis administration would bo ex parle in* character; iu this they are mistaken. Gov. Scott is ito carpet-bagger; if he was, he has thrown it away and iden? tified himself with the ?State-both by interest and adoption-by having invested largely in ber real estate and plautcd him? self upon her soil, to Rhare the good and ill to which she may be subjected. Ho found tho State involved, and began his adminis? tration with a depleted treasury and void of State credit; her bonds not recognized abroad, and deemed almost next to worth? less at home; her bills receivable sluggishly circulating at from 40 to GO per cent, below par, and circumscribed to localities. Gov. Scott soon gave birth to confidence abroad. The State bonds aro now conspicuous in foreign markets, commanding from G5@68c. on the 81.00, with an upward tendency; her bills receivable aro freely circulating. "Last, though' not leaat," to further his purpose, was the masterly scheme of the Executivo in disposing of the Columbia Canal. From that stand-point ho threw out I his stragctic rope, by which ho harpooned the "golden whale of Rhode Island," whose; oil will soon light up tho streets of Colum? bia-radiating hope, wealth and prosperity to every quarter of the commonwealth of South Carolina. This, in connection with his recommendation to tho Legislature now .in session, to perpetuate the South Carolina College-that time-honored institution of learning-demonstrates that Gov. Scott is "the right man in tho right place." "Ren? der unto Caesar," etc. A CONSERVATIVE. MK. EDITOB: On the 20th of September last, I received a box of segars from New York, weighing 270 lbs., for which I paid freight, as per receipt, $2.69. On the 31st of December, I received another box, weigh? ing 230 lbs., aud the freight bill was $9.30 moro than treble the first bill. I showed my bills to one of the agents of the South Carolina Railroad, but he endorsed on them correct. As tbero is evidently something ' wrong, I send you this communication, to bring tho matter before tho railroad officials as well as tho public. C. VOLGER. -o A darkey, in Natchez, was boasting to a grocer of tho cheapness of ten pounds of sugar he had bought of a rival store. "Let mo weigh tho package," said tho grocer. Tho darkey assented and it was found two pounds short. Tho colored gentleman looked perplexed for a moment, and then said, "Quess ho didn't chbnt dis* child much, for while ho was gettin' do sngnr I stole two pair of oboes." 1WU rcNKKALS FOB UNE MAN.-.V very eccentric old gentleman, John Henry Mar tin8tein, who kept nu "Old Curiosity Shop" in New Orleans, but who, by his assiduous attention to business, had realized a hand? some fortune, lately died in that city. One of the New Orleans journals relates a very remarkable incident in bis life, which, it says, many respectable citizens can vouch for. Many years ago IMr. Martinslein was taken quito sick and went off into a tui'ice, which so nearly resembled death that his demise was anuouueed, and all tho prepara? tions made for tho burial. On thc.appoint? ed day tho coffin containing the body was placed in a handsome hearse, which, follow? ed by a long traiu of mourners, proceeded towards tho cemotery, when tho horses sud? denly took fright and ran away, the coffin being thrown violently to the ground and burst open. The surprise and fright of tho spectators may be imagined when from tho coffin was r.ccn to ai is? Mr. Mnrtinstein himself, still instinct with life, and present? ing in his burial robes a sight from which many ran headlong away. Hu very quietly walked home, protesting against being put away in so summary a manner, and declar? ing his intention to live for many a long day. This promise ho kept religiously, us his lengthened hold upon lifo sufficiently proves. Not tho least curious incident con? nected with tho attempted burial of Mr. Martinstein, was the fact that the under? taker who bad been engaged bad no idea of being cheated of what bc fancied was bis just dues, and, upon being refused payment for his partially performed service, brought suit for tho amount, and actually obtaiued judgment in bis favor in the lower court. Mr. Martiustcin, however, took an appeal, and the judgment was reversed-the court ruling that ns be bad not performed tho service for which he bad contracted, ho was not entitled to pay for the same. There woro those who followed the remains of thc old gentleman to the grave this time who were also in tho cortege when a fortunate accident restored bim to his family aud friends. -o A SMALL FABM rs CALIFORNIA.-In a re? cent conversation with a farmer from Cali? fornia, be spoke of 1,200 ?cres as a smell farm, and bis 200 acress of wheat as a small affair. Some of his neighbors bad 5,000 acres of wheat, and tho yield was from twenty to forty bushels to the ocre. The highest yield be had known was eighty three bushels to the acre. The fencing of land was getting so common that cattlecould not bo kept as profitably as formerly, and he bad como East to invest in Cotswold sheep. To an Eastern man tho terms miall and great have a very indefinite application in that country. Sitka bas moro bar-rooms than private houses, and the Aleutian ladies aro said to drink, before dinner, a bottle of whiskey. They dine on all sorts of game and venison, and after dinner for desert, relish wimin oil instead ot champagne. GIBBES & THOMAS. REAL ESTATE AGENTS, C O L U M U I A , S. C.

Even those who havo been favored by nature with strong constitutione and vigorous frames are apt to negleet tlic precau? tions necessary to preserve these precious endow? ments. Indeed, as a rule, the more healthy and robust a man is, the moro liberties he ia inclined to take with his own physique. It is some conso? lation to the naturally weal; sud feeble to know that they can be so invigorated and built up, by a proper use of the means which science has placed at their disposal, as to have a much better chanco of long life and exemptions from disease and pain, than the most athletic of their fellows, who aro foolish enough to suppose themselves invulnerable, and act accordingly. It is not too innch to say that moro than half tho peoploof thc civilized world ?fed un occasional Ionic, to enable them to support the strain upuu their bodies and mind-*, which tho fast life of this restless ago occasions.
