Taxed and misgoverned almost to madness as South Carolina is by her present scoundrel State government; afflicted, too, by a pestilence which daily sweeps off from three to a dozen people in her chief city, she is now called on to endure a merciless dragonnade such as a Bourbon King once organized against the Huguenots who fled 200 years since from France to America, thinking that here they and tlieir descendants might live exempt in saeula s<£culoru'm. T h e Jo u r n a l o f Comm erce says: Martial law is hardly tolerable in time of war; in days of peace iikd the present it is a most dangerous foe of liberty, and works iu- caleulable cruelty and injustice. The raid on South Carolina is a menace to the whole na tion; and those who praise it now out of parti san sympathy may some day lament bitterly over the precedent. S eeious C haegb against V . S.

The feeling which this occurrence has created in the community is not ■very flattering to those who have control of the State House Building. It is said that the scenes 'which toot place at the orgic are indeseribabie, and surpass by far any thing that in olden times made the Lonisi- ana and Globe ball rooms so disgustingly no torious. The attendance was composed in a large proportion, of State and city officials,and members of the Legislature, who made them selves conspicuous'by their lavish expenditure of money. The citizens of the neighborhood very naturaUy implore tlie intercession of the city authorities to protect them from the in vasion of these low-lived people, and express their hope that Mayor F landebs will hereaf ter refuse permits for such performances, es pecially in localities like the neighborhood of the State House.

I have been put out o f my boarding-house, and cannot find any place to rest myself; so I got into the oar in downright desperation, and made up my mind to ride up and down until I could make up my mind what to do.” The physician took the homeless woman in charge, and, we believe, secured her admission to the hospital.

This work—the m o st im p o rtant intjcrnal iinproveinciit n o w progressing in tlie coiintity—is rapidly approach ing completion. It will establish another and supe rior line of communication between the Ohio and are in > same as Five-twenties. the centres of consumption in the Eastern Stat( and nearer to the political and commercial capitt of their country. Such is the commanding imp£ tance of this Trunk Line that the larger cities of the W e st a r e projectin g feeders t o5 connectonnect w \ id in g im p o r - p cities o “\ c w ith i t , i o f i t s unequaled facilities as ucreasi _>racticol miners and iron znanufacturers; a large city is springing up at the Western terminus, tho head of reliable navigation on the Ohio, where it intersects 12,000 miles of river transit, and'will soon be in connection with 30,000 ^Qiles of railroad car riage. The C entrai . P acific S ix . P er C ent . B onds are as safe for investment as Government bonds. Their amount, fixed by act of Congress at $25,885,000, is secured by property worth four times their value; they can only be bought in the open market, and are becoming scarcer in consequence of their ^ a d - ual absorption by investors here and in Europe; they h a r e a ready m a r k e t iu a ll the princi p a l m o iiey-centres, and have still twenty-four s to r u n ; the earnings of the road are steadily ising, and will probably reach $10,000,000 for a handsome surplus after interest.

IVhen the Chespeake and Ohio Bailroad is com pleted in 1872, ahd the Bonds ore dealt in at the Stock Exchanges of the world, we have no doubt they wilibe equally i>opular-with tbe Central Pacifies. Both principal and interest of the O ektral P acific and O hesfeake and O hio B onds , are specifically payable ia gold coin iu New York; the interest on the former being paid January and July, and of the latter.
