The principles and doctrines of the republican party
sufficiently obvious and palpable to be supported

party then, especially of this State, withhold any
expression of opinion as to the next Presidential election,
other than a strenuous support of the principles
litpod which it has uniformly acted, until the proper

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.

. ' 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. I tremble for my office. I
Hi have eleven small children, and nine of
|ftthem are girls; it yields me now three
ftHfdollars and thirty-seven and a half cents
Dna year; this enables me to buy them suBFgar
plums, jewsharps, piccaninies, beBesides
a thanksgiving goose. I cast myself
on your clcmeney: Ever faithfully
8?yours. '"---iV7. American
well as genius. Thus he describes the
beautiful but dangerous bewitcheries of
female society:??
"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. It
is naturall this, and I can't help it no
how."
Charity?1"I fear," said a country cu
i - - . 1 _ n _1. IL-.1 f .^1 .. : ~ ,-wl 4* .V
rule lo nib ii'ick| "wneu i r.\pitiiiicu iu /uu,
in my last charity sermon, that philnnthrophy
was the love of our species, you must
have uMerstnod me to say specie, which
may account for the smallness of the collection.
You will prove, I hope by your
present contribution, that your are no longer
laboring under the same mistake."
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." This is like the lady whose
lap dog bit a piece out <>f a visiter's leg?
.'Poor, dear little thing," said its mistress,
"1 hope it will not make it sick!"
A Spirited Reply.?" Doctor," said a
I hard-looking, brandy faced customer, yesterday,
to a physician,--" Doctor, I'm
? 1
troubled Willi an oppression ana uneasiness
about the breast. What do you suppose
the matter is ?"
"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

A CARD
DR. WM. REYNOLDS desires to inform
his friends and the public generally,
that having entered into connection
with Dr. BLANDING of Columbia, he
will now devote himself entirely to the
practice of Dentistry.
This opportunity cannot be allowed to
pass, without a sincere expression of grateful
acknowledgments to his friends and
patrons, for that confidence which has always
been manifested towards him, whilst
before them as a medical practitioner.?
Now about to embark, more extensively,
in the practice of Dentistry, he begs to assure
them that it shall be his aim, still to
preserve this confidence; and in all his
Dental operations, (surgical or mechanical,)
to give such satisfaction as will insure
a continuance of it.
The well deserved and extensive reputation
which Dr. Blanding has long since
acquired, needs no comment. Therefore,
when thus connected, the hope is expressed,
thut without presumption, they may
look for that confidence from an enlightened
and discriminating public, which
