Iu former days there dwelt in the
bravo Corncraekur State, in close prox
imity to each other, a young, buxom,
n.1,1 u...:iltbv widow and a bachelor of
scarcely more than her own age. JIolli
had inherited their property, and were
comparatively stranger to each other.
Uut their plantations joined, aud many
weie the acts of neighborly kindnesses
that pasned between them. Well, a
somebody sang to the witching widow
Machrce, the time nnived when the
"birds go in pairs," and the widow
found that although she had plenty
ol hen turkeys she had none of theotb
or persuasion, thoy having mysterious
y disappeared. II11I ho knew that
her neighbor bad plenty of a rare
breed, aud so sent Sambo over to bor
row a couple. In duo time ho came
back with a largo gobbler under each
arm and a broad grin upon his face.
"Well?" inked hi mistress.
"Massa said," was tho answer, "tint
ho send tlein turkeys, and dat if doy
did'l4 answer he'd jest come obor and

Etmoiw or Hn.no.viv Hkcord,
Gcnttamni Knowing tho interest
which yotfr valuable- Journal has at
ways takeu tn the tltti'o llltigo Uaftroad,
I sont you, last week, the inessaga of
Governor Scott to the Legislature in
relation to it, and his recommendations
ni to the early resumption, and final
completion of tho work, A Dill is
ready before that bddy ombotlylilfc 1
recommendation, and in early passagu
is expected.
While writing to you 1 will call your
nttcntion to an article in tlio Hkcuru
of tho 00th April last, w)tch dooi our
city great injustice, and which It seems
to mo that you should correct, tn tho
nrlielo referred to, headed "Tlio South
side Consolidated Act," tn giving the
depths of water lu tho channels ol ap
proach to tub principal ports of tho At'
laltttonnd Gulf Cities, nf )dgh tide,
Charleston Is put down at fiitcen (16)
feet, wlterem tt is very common for
vessels drawing sixteen and ahalf feet,
to seventeen feet, to load at our docks,
aud to cross our bar without difficulty.
Indeed, tho llrittsh b.irrjtio Annie Kim
ball, with railroad Iron, crossed our bar
tn the summer of 18(17, drawing eigh
teen feet nine aud a hall inches (1B.0J)
unloading at her dock. She paid a
pilotage, indeed, of 200, nnd went ont
afterwards, bound to Hoston drawing
MovtMilcou feet, nnd paying tr.'l) pilot
nge. Good sometimes comes out of
ovtl. The main ship channel, used al
most exclusively by vessels of any si 10
boloro the war, you will remember was
closed by the United States licet, by
the sinking ol old vessels! and hulks.
This channel has now so shallowed that
It is no longer used by any but vessels
of light draff, but tho channel imme
diately uorth ol it, known as Pumpkin
Hill, has been thereby neatly deep
ened, nubrding a depth of water much
greater than wo bnve over hnd before,
or ol which there Ih any iccord.
lu this connection it would bo rt
great omission not to allude to Port Hoy-
al, for although no elty or town now
occupies its banks, yat railroads at no
distant day will bo constructed to its
magnificent li arbor, with its unusual
depth ol twentj'-two leet (22) at lowr,
nnd 2B feet nl high water, always ao
ecssiblo' nud never blorkrd up with lee.
Can it be ponslblo that when tho South
ern Pacific Katlroadshnll bo construct
ed, which It will be, and our own groat
section shall pour Its growing wealth on
our shores, requiring vessels nud steam
ships ol the largest sire, to convey tho
productions of so extended a country
to thu distant markets of thu world,
that this magnificent harbor shall not
bu demanded Jur its accommodation?
It seems to 1110 that a look at the map
