soon, we hope, to be effdoted with this
eeoliOjO, either by independent loads, or
by dohatruefcion of Wansing linka in the

? Wo pass over. the-return* given of the
prostrate oondition of the city, and its
trade at the cIoho ol the war, of the
losses by fire und of the broken and
worn-out linos of railway connecting it
with the interior, of tho loss more espe?
cially of banking and private capital and
of the heavy rates of interest which have
sinoe uniformly prevailed, and of the
-disruption of former political antl social
?organizations. In spite of these and
other impediments,, wo find .that the re?
ceipts of cotton have increased from
111,714 bales in 1865-66, and 165,316
bales in 1866-67, to, 282,086 bales in
1871-72; [ being respectively five . per
oent., eight per cent, and ten per cent,
of the outiro crop. A full proportion of
?these receipts of cotton went to the mar?
ket for sale, and not as through cotton,
which affords, in comparison, the mere
semblance of business. - The sea island
culture has not prospered of late years,
. owing ohiofly to the ravages of caterpil?
lars and unfavorable seasons. Dimi?
nished planting and diminished export
have ensued. The planters of sea islands
have not improved their oondition since
the war, and the Northern capitalists
who have been induoed to enter into the
culture, have fared no better, having
generally sunk their capital so invest?
ed. Planters of long staplo cotton, in
oonsequoBce of improved quality of
ootton grown in Egypt, the Fejee and
Sandwich Islands, South America and
Texas, from the finer seeds of the sea
islands, have lost control of tho prices
abroad for their beautiful, delicate and
unique crop. In rice, receipts, which
were only 4,019 tierces in 1865-66, and
15,837 tierces in 1866-67, were 42,677 in
1871-72; and the exports have increased
from 3,120 tierces in 1865-66 to 32,610
tieroes in 1871-72. The superiority of
Carolina* rioe is recognized in the princi?
pal markets of Europe and America.
The rapid renovation in its oolture
evinces not only the indomitable perse?
verance of the planter, but the wisdom
of the Government in protecting (ho
fruits of his labors until he oan regain
strength. Tho Ohanabur of Commerce
appropriately direot the attention of
oapitaliatn to the tempting opportunity
of investments in theao fertile alluvial
lands.
Charleston has for* eome time been
briskly engaged in two important
branches of commerce?lumber and naval
stores. Her lumber mills are on an ex?
tended aoalo, and afford the best facilities
for cutting, handling and shipping of
lumber; while Jibe, bold river fronts of
th?r olty, with ampl? ponds, securely pro
tected, where the immense rafts await
the chipper, are propablj ur^aaled in
^ny Southern (^arket. ^Th? ,sl^ri?nU;

Thero fhave bedn aotne) fluctuations inj
the trade, but"the tendency ia steadily|
onward and upward.- The movement in
naval stores has increased surprisingly. 1
The trade is in a flourishing condition,
with cheerful prospects. In 1865-66,

Speaking of the Newberry and Chea?
ter Railroad, and the cotton mill about
to be completed in Newberry County,
the Herald, of the 2Gih instant, pays this
handsome compliment to Senator Cor?
win, whose energy we commend to the
people of the State. ThiBisa movoio the
right direction:
"It is our aim to keep these two im?
portant measures before the people, and,
if possible, have them pushed through
to successful completion. We are pleased
to say, therefore, that our State Senator, I
Mr. Corwin, informs us of his having
obtained subscriptions to the amount of
$30,000 already, which amount will be
paid in as soon as the sworn commis?
sioners for Newborry are ready to re?
ceive. Let others follow. And in re?
gard to the cotton mill, tho same gentle?
man states that the bill says, in regard to
the tax, that, instead of an exemption of
two miiis, us is thought, ibo whole or
regular tax will be collected, but will be
returned as a bouns to the company.
Both enterprises show favorable sigus,
we ore pleased to say, and it is hoped
that beforo fall they will be almost, if
not quite, accomplished. Mr. Corwin is I
working hard as a representative of the I
people's interest."

it at each other. Unfortunately, how?

A Thiumphant Recobd.?In glancing
back at the history of proprietary medi?
cines in this country, it becomes it onoe
x. ridont that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
has been tbo most successful of them all.
The record of its triumphs covers a
period of about twenty years, and dur?
ing that time it has probably restored to
health and vigor a greater number of de?
bilitated invalids than all other tonics
and alteratives combined. The amount
of disease and suffering that has been
prevented by its extensive use aa a pre?
ventive medicine is, of course, unascer?
tained, bnt it is a well known and un?
disputed fuel that the malaria which
generates periodic fevers and many
other distressing and dangerous disor?
ders seldom, if ever, produced any inju?
rious effect upon systems that have been
fortified ia advance by a course of tbia
invaluable vegetable tonic. M28f3il
Early vegetation in Georgia has been
nipped in tho.bad.
