Great and Judicious Reduction of Rail j Road Fare.?We announce with pleasure, the following good news, for travellers, farmers and invalids. The Directors of the South Carolina Canal and Rail Road \ Company, after much deliberation on the policy and expediency of the measure, hate determined to re-model and reduce the rales of passage money and freight, on the road to Hamburg, in compliance \ with the recommendation of a committee I charged with subject. The following is the scale of reduction^? Fare through, from and to Charleston and Hamburg, $8 instead of 810?shorter distances, and from one intermediate station to anoth r, on 'the .line,"6 cents per mile instead of 7 1-2 ceiytfc. Carriages, having two horses, convered through for 820 instead of ?40, with the privilege of a servant to each - pair of horses, free of charge. Single horses, carriages, gigs and sulkeys, &c, fOr o less distance than through the whole line* to be charged from 25 to 40 per cent. L below the present-rates, according to distance, number, &c. Servants and chil' drcn tinder 12 years of age, half price. is also Contemplated to appropriate o car (as soon as practicable) expressly for iheaccomdation of those whose means, * inclinations, or infirmities may lead them to prefer it, at two-thirds or one half the foil prices. It has moreover been determined Jo provide cars, for the speedy ? /transportation to the city of the marketable products of the country, such as fruit, poultry, eggs, butter, &.C., and to reltun as promptly with a supply of sea-bonrd luxuries, such as fish,.oysters, West lucid fruit, ice, &.C., to regale the palates of our country friends. Lastly, in order to encourage excursions for pleasure or- health, ticket,, purchased for any distance on the road, is to entitle the party lo?return, the same day, fice of charge; a privilege which will doubtless be highly valued by the party of pleasure, for a day at Woodstock, 01 other seat of rural attraction, the man of business, and especially the sportsman and the invalid. These regulations are to be carried into effect, say from the 5th to the.8ih inst. We have also been informed that the Company have at last effected an arrangement with the authorities in Augusta, by _ means of which tftcy are to enjoy, in perpetuity, the right of passing the Savannah r River, and-establishing . a depot in that city.?Charleston Courier. r ?:? . ' v Murder of a Methodist Preacher.? Wei learn from the Nashville Whig, that a foul murder was committed on the 14th lilt., near Hendersonvillo, Sumter county, Tejin, on the body of Mr. Lindsay, a re I spectable clergyman of the Methodist Chttrch of near thirty years standing, and 55 vears oltf. He was shot to obtain the money he had about him, @300, as is sup-1 ' posed, by a man by the name of Carroll,1 ^ and thrown into the Cumberland River, J where the body, was found on the 20lh, | by dragging with a net. Carroll is a citijfc. zen of Missouri, but for the last six months J has been in Tennessee, and wherever he , is'known, i3 rather celebrated for his ex(. pertness with the rifle. He has not been ? seen since, and a handsome reward is to >' booffered for his apprehension. A man by the name of Johnson, a supposed accomplice, has been taken up,?amil. V REMOrAtS from office.?We hope r among the removals from office, which k- . the ins seem.to apprehend and the outs to Bfc*-claim, one man in particular will be sparf ed. He is a postmaster in Maine, near I, .^he Arostopk line, who, when Colonel I Barry took command of the post ofKce W /department: and was sweeping all before -him in the shape of reform, addressed him a letter, which ran in tho following vein: H " My dear Colonel?The sound of your * broom which is now sweeping the Augean [flBstablc, is echoing among these distant ^ShiUs; villages and forest are alike filled H&gilji dismay; the birds forsake the woods, trembling infant flies to its mother's S^Tarms, and even strong men find their By joints give way~they shake like Belshaz'ssariat'the vissionary hand that wrote his deiith doom.

"1 cannotlook full in a pretty girls face, all flashing so, without, being kinder daz-' zlcil and scorched. It wakens roe up this cold weather and kindles such a pulse in my heart that the blood runs throngh it as hot as if it had run through a steam boat , pipe. And the all fired things have so ; many sly ways of coming it 'over a feller with them are crincurn crancums of theim, that I dont think much of a feller that can see their pretty mouths work and not feel , his own work too. If they sidle up, I cant help sidlin' up too if I died; and when their eyes fall flash on mc, I will ; ri?iht down under 'em, as rut grass in Wealhersfield of a hot summer day.

Excruciating.?A working man recently fell from a building near Queen Victoria, and was crushed to death in her sight. The London Globe savs of it?"we are happy to stale, that though her majesty was much alarmed and excited, no permanent injury to her majesty's health is likely to result."

"All very easily accounted for," said the physician, " you have water on the chest." "Water! Come, that'll do for a joke, but how could I get water on my chest, when I hav'nt touched a drop in fifteen years ? If you had said brandy, you might have hit it." A Sign.?An exchange paper says that the best sign a dry goods merchant can raise in the West in order to make a ready sale for his goods is "not married." Boston Atlas. The suggestion is pretty good; but it docs not go far enough. The following, written upon a sign in a New England village, was better: "Dry Goods. By John Bigelow; who wishes to get married."? This sign drew all kinds of custom. The single ladies went of course; and the married men always told their wives to go, under the impression that they could easily cheat so great a fool!?Detroit rtr.il.. A,/..
