LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
0, E-'Smith in the Tobacco Plant.
vfe cannot understand nor be made
to comprehend why the management
and charges of our railroads should so
materially differ from that of the Nor
therm States. "We buy our engines
from the same shops in Philadelphia
or New Jersey. . We get our iron from
the same rolling mills for the .same
price as the Northern roads. They
hare to pay fifty dollars an acre for
road way and five thousand dollars per
mile for construction, while we pay
five dollars an acre for land and four
thousand five hundred dollars for con
struction. The Northern roads charge
two and a half cents per mils, and we
charge five cents over the same iroB,
drawn by the same locomotive.
The road officials says this is becaufe
theTOd3 in the North have so nuch
more travel than we de they are ble
to go for her. How could this be other
when our road charges are above the
business and labor of the country.
Now, here is a laboring man in Ral
eigh with business in Weldon, a dis
tance ef ninety-seven miles. His -wages
is ten dollars a month; the railroad
charges hiss ten dollars to go there
and back; a whole month's wages to
ride less than two hnndred miles. He
walks there and back and saves two
week's time, and walking is no harder
than plowing. "Put this same iron
down in Pennsylvania, say from New
York to Philadelphia, a distance of one
hmndred and three miles, and with the
same oars and locomotive, they will
carry you the round trip for three dol
lars and seventy-five cents every day
in the year. Let us make a note of
this.
fAll right, Mr. Smith. So you walk
to Weldon; we will ride. It takes you
six days to go there and back. During
that time wo will put your board at 25
cents a day, and y eu sleep in the woods
at night, $1.50. Pair, of shoes $2 50.
Time lost, at 38 1-2 cents a day, $2. 31,
Tobacco 25 cents; whiskey) $1. . Total,
$7.66. So you see you have $2.44 left.
Our faro costs $10, if we haven't got a
pass, board 50 cents, time lost, two
days, 77 cents. Total, $11.27. Four
dayVljime, $1.54. ( Wo are 73 cents
out, but we've had . a good ride, our
shoes wo food and our clothes are
clean.

Mr. Editor: As some of the
cood citizens of this community
seem to tuTe had the qniei repose
and the good nature of their nasal
organs violently disturoea ana
tWerfnllv At?ita"ted. by what they
seem to regard as the insufferable
and death-dealing 6tench united
by the various fertilizers which
are stored in our city; nd as
one who " snuffs, not from afar,"
odurs which arc not as sweet, nor
as fragrant as tho rose of Sharon,
I desire through the columns of
your paper to suggest to our city
iatners, ana nope uicy wm nut,
regard it a piece of impertinence,
that at their next meeting, they
pass a formal resolution calling
upon the Board of Health, (I
believe we have such a Board) to
givtt their opinion officially, as to
the probable effects which might
possibly follow the constant in
itiation of these nauseous vapors,
and if in their opinion, as medi
cal experts and scientists, they
shall, report that the health and
well being of the community is
endangered, and the peace, har
mony and prosperity of-this peo
ple be jeopordized, let our board
of Aldermen as the custodians of
the interest's of the people, forth
with find without delay, pass an
ordinance, perpetual and effectual,
prohibiting absolutely, under
penalties of fin and imprison
ment the storing in, or the haul
ing through the city, of any fer
tilizer which may contain the
deleterious properties. The
health of tho people is worth
more than all tho increase and
production of cotton, caused by
the use of fertilizers.
But, if on the other hand, the
board of Health 6hall find in them
no germ of disease, and nothing
obnoxious to tho health of the
community and shall so report,
let these grumblers hold their
tongue, and noses too, if necessa
ry, at least until the next spring.
If not' unhealthy these odor
laden breezes, of which complaint
is made, are only unpleasant, be
cause we are unaccustomed to
them. A.

An Incidontrof tho War.
In the midst of the great events
of the war, such incidents as tho
follwing were comparatively un
noticed, and left to be long after
ward related in print : Miss An
nie Pickens, daughter of the
Governor of South Carolina, was
to bo married on April 22, 1863,
in Charleston, to Lieut. Andrew
De Rochelle. The wedding par
tv was assembled in the Pickens
residence, and the clergyman was
asking tho bride 11 6he was ready,
when a shell from a Union gun
in the harbor broke into the room
and burst. Nine persons were
hurt, but only Miss Picken s
wound proved mortal. She bore
the pain with wonderful fortitude,
and was unmoved when informed
that she had only an hour or two
to live. De Rochelle said that
he would like to have her die his
wife, and the poor tirl smiled
sadly in assent. The guests re-
memeber the scene as tar more
pitiful tkan they can describe.
The bride lay on a sota, her
white dress dabbled in blood arid
her hair- dUhevelled, while her
palled face was so wrung with
agony that her efforts to smile
became futile. The cermony
was hurriedly performed, though
tho bride's "Yes", was in a faint,
labored whisper, and her lips
hardly inoveel in response to her
husband's kiss. She died imme
diately afterward
"Going from bad to worse,"
groaned the toper who was kick
ed from the bar rom into the
gutter.
