It 11 nina malaria at once, and forebodes ter ible effects upon the health of the city, t differs somewhat in its judgment on his point from persons whom tho Union noBt concede, have a more perfect Lnowledgo of such matters. Here is an Ic. xtraot from an article embodied in a I 1 tamphlet lately published under the uepioes of the Board of Trade of this ity. The article was written at the re- * [nest of the engineer of the canal, after ~ 1 careful inBpeotion of the proposed ' Doality of the "new projeot," by tho ;entleman by whom it is signed: "It is a well-established fact, that a c ity built upon a deep flowing stream is ' aoro healthy than one on a stream - , hoso bed for long periods of the year s more or less exposed to the aotion of f; he Ban, especially in a warm latitude.

"The probable result will be to make ' labitabie the range of high bluffs that 1 nargin the river and stud it with reai- c lenoes; whereas, in its present oondi- c ion, the most beautiful scenery in the 1 egion of Oolumbia is shunned."

It j1 honld be more careful, then, how it at empts to throw obstacles in the way of .n enterprise, upon the success * of vhioh, the prosperity of tbe city is argely dependent. CITIZEN, Railroad-Another Side. j ? MESSRS. EDITORS: A Carolinian, "to|* he manner born," has watched with .stouiohment the energy manifested by he citizens of South Carolina to build a ..' ?ilrond for the benefit of another State ? nd oity. South Carolina, hated and ippresaed, ought to have the unquali ted assistance and support of every [1 lative born man, woman and child. Charleston city, the pride of the State, ?iib Sn m ter rains and Carolina heroism, hould demand, and does merit, the latronage of every true Carolinian. The lear old oity "beside the sea" claims ipon high grounds that she still loves 1er citizens, and begs them to rest in ter bosom. Surely Spartanburg, Lau? cos and Greenwood don't intend tc ro munee their "first love" and desert to .nother. Think for one moment, and j , un a road from Greenwood to Aiken, nd then Charleston will love you more. SUMTER.

Let them resort to no im? proper means; wo trust that no one will uttempt any violence, intimidation or in? fluences, except such as accompany ap? peals to tho good sense of men in induc? ing them to rectify abuses in govern? ment, and vindioato the dignity of the elective franchise. Tho ruling dynasty are endeavoring to bring our whole representative system of freo institutions into disrepute by a de? gradation of tho franchise.
