Iauportaat to Travelers. Our Columbia correspondent writes us, that on and after Monday, August 21st, the ears for Charlotte, via Wittns. boro' and Chester will leave Columbia every afternoon at 4 o'clock, instead of 7 A.

This change is made to facilitate travel and to accommodate trave-llers going North or visiting the up country. Battle of Churuibusco.

We have never lefure been visited by so many and such destructive thun. der storms, accompanied by high winds, as during this season. The in tensity of the heat, we suppose, will account for the electricity and the storms ; but who will assign a reason why this summer should exceed all of its predecessors, so far as we know, for the duration and intensity of its heat? We have had is long succession of scorching days and sweltering nights, mitigated now and then for a few hours, by some wrathful cloud sweeping tern pest-driven over our heads, discharging volumes of lightning and floods of rain, with an accasional rattle of hail. Now, after. several .days of drizzly weather ( just such weather as makes the planter tremble for his fodder and his cotton forms) it has cleared off beautifully, and this morning (Monday) we have the promise of another day re minding us of some of its melting pre decessors. Within a circle of a few miles of our town we have been informed, of an unprecedented number of instances in which lightning has discharged itself upon the earth, rending trees, killing stock, and occasionally doing damage to houses. But one instance has oc curred however, in which human life has been destroyed in this way, and that has been already noticed. We heard the other day of a gentleman going out to look for several missing cows, and found them all dead under a tree which had been manifestly st.rick by lightning. Iecertly we heard of a very singular freak of the electric fluid, which killed on the spot, ten hugs for Capt. J. D. Me?"F.tnsi und the ,1,l lowing circumnstance. Th ing along a sugl rmhel, $ I!. kg make, at a each oter. ry i t.: ' j mgr within thi1 \ . tIe tree upo wliich th tluitI dtsceuided, am.the' was itabodt the distane! of forty yards, and the last.

This seems Lo have been done by one discharge, the luid choosing to pursue the earth, -ather than enter the ground, and to lefleet from the original path which it mad taken. We have often seen small spots of ;rowing crops killed by lightning, but ,e never before heard of half an acre iestrcyed, which we have been inform 'd upon undoubted authority, is the hect on the planttationl of Mr. J. 11. dIoNrooMEary, a few miles below this >laee. A stream of electricity, a few lays since, fell upon one of his cotton ields and destroyed at least htalf an icre of the weed, as above stated. An. thter gentlemani had a htorse and mule <illed int his stkbles, the lightning stri iga tree firpt a little distance onfl. In >ur towtn, we have been informed, a hiekenm was killed by the, fluid just below the door of a house, the house trelf being untouched, an~d without ~bnducetors. 'We record thtese things, as matters if interest to us all, and in order that acts may be laid before the public in egard to a sub~lte tand otftetn destructive uid. whose habitudes (so to speak) ire still in somae respects involved in mystery. TIomuatos all thie Year. By followitng the simple and easy receipt, given below for preserving and keeping tomnatos f'resh, persons may have that excellent vegetable ready prep~ared for the table at all sea sons of the '.ear. We have tried the plan antd lintd the tomtatos thus prepar ed, at a bare nomitnal expense, to he equal to those fresh pluceked, when in season: "'rake ripe tomatos, wash thema in cold water, and boil them for twenty minutes ; htave your cans (or biottles) p)repared in the mean time by platcing them in cold water in a boiler ; put, your totmatos in the canis with a very little salt and pepper, and set the boi ler with them over a slow fire, where let them remain until the water boils, at which time cork and seal thtem her. metically. By this simtple process you can have the vegetable always ready for your table, with aill the fresh ness and flavor of the seasont." Most vegetables may be kept in like manner. NewM of the Week.
