Standing this ivening upon the bank of the river at Alston, we were most 4reibly impretsed with the senti ment, which we write down as a cap tion to this article. The water was alive with river craft-the shores with busy laborers. The broken bridge, picttiresque in its misfortunes, stood high in its desolate uselessness, while -the heavy laden trains, with hissing engines, were bearing rich freights to anxious consignees. %ales of cotton, barrels and boxes of produce and mer dhandise, covered the sand strewn shore, and the (vibutes of river and road hero presented a forcible illustra tion of the extent of the products and wants of those who dwell in the interior of the State. Never again can we re turn to.the old system of wagon trans portation; for Railroads have becoitie tiite amongst the necessaries of life andfixed, too, by a sterner principle than that usually accorded to mere con venience. When profit attaches to any mode of transportation, all who -can avail tliemselves of that mode '% ill stick to it. The common roads are no worse now than when the entire mid. lle'and-back country wagoned their produce to market; the iiver is still op -en from Alston to Columbia: yet thou aands of planters have waiteJ to trans port their cotton bales on the failroal, -.nd their river boats discharge and ftisfer their cargoes as soon as . 'they-strike it. These ficts prove the valik of Railroads to the producers of 'cur staple crops-and we have no need . farther than the past years expe rence, to show the truth of our a-ser thon;: buk when we add the public con renience afforded to travel-the rapid tiransportation of the mails, and the other benefits arising to a community from the perfect system of accom mo dations of this sort, the-fact is incon ou 1, we find sonc capital remarks -on the subject, which we t,xtract: "It is well known," says the Railroad -Journal, "that upon the ordinary high. way, the economical limit to tranzspor tation is confined within a cornpara tively few miles, depending of course upop, the kind of freight and eharae. ter of the roads. Upon the average )f such ways, cost of transportation is not fai from fifteen cents per ton per mile, which may be considered as a sufficiently correct estimate tor an average of the country. Estimating at the same time the value of wheat at $1,50 per bushel, and corn at 75 celn's, and that 3 1 bushels of eaeb are egnal to a ton, thic value of the ibrmier- would be equal to its cost of transportation for 380 miles, and the latter 165 miles. At thesa respective distances from inark et,'neither of the above articlus would iave any cbmmercial value, with only S oommon road as an avenue to mark "But we find that we can move prop arty upon Railroads at the rate of one-fifth per ton per mile, or for one tenth the cost upon the ordinary road. These works, therefore, extend the soonomic limit of the cost, of transror tation of the above articles to 3,000, and 1,650 miles respectively. At the..limit of the economical move nentof these articles uponf the conm usin-highway, by the use of Ra~ilroads, hewgould be worth $414,50, and arn,22,17, which sum respectively would represeut the actual icase of value created by the interposition of such a work. "It -will be seen that the value of lands are effected by Riailroads in .the same ratio as their products. For instance: land lying upon01 a navigable water course, or in the immediate vi chlnity of a market, may be wvorth for' the culture of wheat *10. Let the average -crop be estimated at twen ty'ttio bushels to the acr'e, valued at $33, and the cost of cultivation at 4 15; this would leave *18 per" acr'e as5 the n1et profit. This quantity of wheat (two-thirds of a tonl) could se tra~mns - ortesi 280 miles at a cost of' one ce-nt :-per mile, or *3,30, which would leave ,i$14,70 as the net profit of land at that distance from a manrket, when sonnected 'with it by a Riailroad. T'he value of the land, therefore, ad mnitting the quality to be the samne mboth cases, would hear the same r'a olf0the assumed value of *100, a5s ~hq alue of its products, $14 70, does t$1, or *82 per acre, which is an actual creation of value to that - ampi t-, assuming the coretness of' the emises. The same calculation nay oV-ouirse be applied with equal fore ~-~sy ind and species of prp aeifrlor no rmore opposition to } ~P rnj Railroad-i projected to uei te popf~e~ o g: State. A rgu.. inmhtshi ethd ahbve'bould conv ert g'runitblingi4 b~ rd capitaligts in to earnest supjimsamt ntrib)uting bslekholdc4 t ok e Roads does not yield fat dividends im. mediately, they should reflect that all other property is heightened in value by these great improvements. We once advocated the crection of those two great pioneer lines to the back country; the Charlotte and Gr. en ville Railroads. The capitalist of Co. lumbia (with a few magnanimous ex ceptions, amongst whom we may num ber the late Robert Latta, Esq., who contributed liberally to the stock, and backed his opinions as to the value of the enterprise, by making heavy in vestments in real estate) prophesied that the town would be ruined; her strkts deserted, and her trade gone fbrever. It is truc, that the cotton trade has songht a natural avenue furnished by Railroad transportation; but this has wrought no ruin to the town. Hunt the town over, and try to rent a house now; not one is vacant. Ask the capitalists if their funds are idle'? and they will tell you that a lloutrisling Insurance Company has sprung up, and the town calls for still another Bank. Look to the returns made on oath by her inerehants, and they will show an increase f Imf as tileh ritore as tnier years cxhibited. The smokes of a dozim steam-driven shops show that industry at last is at work; and, in addition to her former ppuation, a class of respectable and laborions ruechanies thiroig her streets -.mnoibuses vieing in taste and ac commiziodations with those of our lar gest cities, tow transport hundreds of passengrs to her crowned hotels, and tbe whole place wears the smiling fea tu res of rapid iiprovemtient. V i liges along the lines of these Roads has grown into towns; and already have \Vilinsboro, and Chester, Newberry and Ander.-son, and Suiterville, called for Banks. They have all become pla ces of trade. Look at the country along these new lines of Railroads -not one straight streak of desolate swamp and dreary pine barren, like that )rCseIted by the South Carolina ly cultivated fields and comfortable homes is presented to the traveller. Five years of trouble, and doubt, and perplexity, and misibrtune to the pro jectors and stustain-rs of Itese great works, have effected these things which we have hastily written down; atd niow. reader, let us ask you, what good rc.,iflts will have acerued to the couilnitity at large after they shall have been in successful operation twen ty-five years? Senitence of lihe Ma1dinli. The following is a translation of the judicial sentence of Francesco and Rosa Madiai, with a statement of their offence : Considering that the penal laws, agreeing with the iiterpretations of the most illustrious jurists, recoznise proselytism as a crime punishable by the civil autho-ities - Consitlering that Franceseo and Rosa Madiai, born and brought np in tie Catholic religion, have. within the list four or five years, been inl duced to abandon it and embi ace the religion which they call Evaigeli cal That Francesco Madiai, availing himself of the lessons in the Frenchl language which he gave to a young matn of 16, ca leavor-ed, thxoughi with out success, to detach him from thec Catholic religion ; gave him, in con. cert with his wife, a prohiibitcd copIy of the Bible in French and in Italian. That he has made to other personus proposals tending to showv the supe r-iority of the religion called Ev-an gelical to the Catholic ireli ginis, counselling such per-sonis not to ha t the priests, reproving the worship oh the Virgin Mary anid of the Saints as an idolatary, and especially turn inig into der-ision the piotus custom oi butrig tapersi before the image oh the lloly Virgini-rejecting -lhe doc. tr-inc of the Rteal Presence int the con. secirated Ihost chiaracterising as an insuilt towards God intercession *by the Virgin andi the Saints, rejectinp the. author ity of the Supreme Ponitihf saying that the observance of feasi days other than Sundays, and absti, netnce from certain aliments were in, ventions of sinful men, saying that in the sacrament of the Comtuniion, the transubstantiatioti of bread andi wino is not tirue, that Confession is useless, unless, because it is made te man and not to God. That to make a young girl of twen ty, who wvas in their service, abandon her religioni, the Madiais taught het to road, so that she might undoerstand3 the books which they gave her, sucl' as the Bible translated by Diodati, and the Book of Prayer, printed it London by the Society for the diffu salon of tha Chniiaa noct-:. i which it is said that Purgatory and the worship of Images are ridiculous inventions. Considering that what has been said by the defense on the subject of liberty of conscience and of religicus tolerance is foreign to the question, seeing that the first is not attacked when citizens are called to answer for their external acts, and that the second is protected, instead of being violated 'ken one preserves another from Janger of seduction and abati4w 'uent of her religion. The Court declares that the crime of impiety has been committed by the Madiais in the way of prosel. tism and it condemns Francesco Madiai to fifty months' imprisonment at hard labor, and Rosa Madini to forty five months' imprisonment, and to a fine of 300 livres--and at the expiration of their punishment to three years' surveillance by the Police. Medical College of the State of Soutl Carolina. The annual course of Lectures in this Institution terminated on the 5th inst., after an unusually lengthy term of eighteen weeks. The class in attendance on the lectures, from a printed cataloguc, amounted to one hundred and forty four: from the State of South Caro lina, 102; North Carolina, 12; Geor gia, 10; Alabama, 22; Florida, 3; Mississippi, 5. The prevalence of yellow fever during the past summer, and its ex tension to a late period in November, deterred many from attendance at this Institution--and from the many inquiries by letter from every part of the country, there is every reasonable ground for believing that the class of the past term would have been in ad vance of the preceding, which, it will dred and. ,hirty two students.

WANTED, A MASTER.-Not long ince the Sunday Times published he following: Passing down Nassau street, three >r four persons were standing inside of a store talking to a black man, nd then invited us to come in. 'Here is a black man,' said one of he gentlemen 'who wishes to sell iimself, as a slave for $150.' We entered the store, and saw a hort, stout fellow in rage, with - a )ood countenance, and no indication >f vice. 'Where do you belong?' 'To New York. I was born here.' 'Don't you know that you cannot ell yourself as a slave in this State?' 'What am I to do? I can get no York; I have had no breakfast; I am ilmost naked; no one cares for me, Lnd I have no friend. Is it not bet or to have a good master whom I :an work for, and who will care for ne?' Here was an illustration of the )ractical benevolence of domestic lavery, while it exhibited the rank iypocrisy of the abolitionists. They -ould raise $2,000 to purchase the iberty of two mulatto girls. and yet illowod a poor black to offer to sell kimself hs a slave to save himself rom starving in a free Northern State. Isn't it a pity, Mr. Greeley, that lie masses can read such things as he above? Don't you wish they ouldn't? This is only one free no ;ro who wants a master. 'There ire more of the same sort -left.'

CAPTAIN Ross.;-A MODERN ORusoE.- We extract the following from a.letter written by an Indian I officer on sick leave : "Afterwe- got clear of Java Head I we had a fresh breeze from the south. I cast, and as we bad been unable to i take in water at Angier, the captain decided upon doing so at some small l islands I had never heard the name t of before; they are called the Cocoas, and about seven hundred or eight I .hundred miles to the southward of Java head. Their history is rather I curious. A Captain Ross, formerly I of the East India service, lives on them with his family. Before Bor- t neo was given up to the Dutch, he I was governor of it, and while there he advised the English Government c to allow him to build a sloop of war, t as there was such magnificent timber. She was launched only the day l before the island was given. up; but the Dutch allowed him to finish her, and the English government then c made a present of her to Captain J Ross as a reward for his services. He cruised about in her for many years, and as it were, discovered these islands, for they had been known to exist, though never visited. He took a fancy toethem, wrote home I to England, and brought out the whole of his family. The English government refusing him protection, I he placed himself under that of the Dutch, and got three hundred Malay claves, whom he liberated upon arri ving in the islands, and formed a set tlenient there. His ship. was lost on a -voyage to Batavia, and he was many years without having any intercourse with the world; but being nearly starved, or the islandig -du A more t* baI cocoa nut fibrb,.and the isils of the thick bark that is round the cocohnut trees just below the branches. He was just sailing when a whaler put into the island, and from her procur ed canvass and wont to Batavia, since which time he has traded regularly there, selling cocoanut oil, of which he makes great quantities, having a steam engine of ten horse power to bruise and press the nut. About the sixth day from Java Head, we sighted the 'islahds, which are very low, covered to the water's edge with trees.-There are about 24 1 of them, the largest about a mile broad; they are in a circle, reefs join ing them, and forming a magnificent I lagoon, to which there is only one en. trance. I went on shore early the morning after we anchored, and pulled about three miles up the lagoon to the settlement.-Their chief amusement appears to be sailing boats, of which there are immense numbers and maili aged beautifully. I counted nearly thirty as we pulled up, sailing away to i the different islands to pick up nuts. Captain Ross is a strange, guant looking man; he amd his sons resemble Robinson Crusoe. They lived in wooden houses, raised about ten feet, On piles, from the ground, and are as rough as you can well imiagine. Tlhey have book-, and the quantity Capt. Ross read is wonderful, Hie has beeni 243 years in the. ishmds. The Malays are a hazy- set of fellows; he pays the~m so much a daiy, and so well that they wouilt work more than two or three dlays a week. Thme greatest punish. mnent he inflicts is to bais'mih them from the islands.'--Er. paper. As-b Good as if it were in Esop. The.
