A CHEAP TRIP TO CHARLESTON.—In view of the approaching gatherings in Charleston, which will be called there by the races of the Jockey Club, and the meeting of the State Grange, the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company will sell tickets at very reduced rates. Round trip tickets will be sold at the different stations, from the 1st to the 9th of February, good for return till February 10. The price of these round-trip tickets from Winnsboro will be $3.75. Persons going as delegates to the Convocation of the Royal Arch Masons, can have their tickets extended for five days by procuring the endorsement of the Grand Secretary. The rates thus offered are extremely low, and we trust they will be used in such numbers as to compensate the railroad companies for their liberality.
