Local Items.

The office of the Columbia Phoenix is on Gates street, second door from Plain. We are indebted to Dr. P. M. Cohen, Mr. C.A. Bedell and a lady friend for late copies of the Charleston Courier.

Our readers will observe, by referring to Dr. Melvin M. Cohen's advertisement, that he has just opened a fresh stock of useful articles. He claims that in quality and price his goods will rank with the best in the market.

Our City--Its Prospects.

We are pleased to see that some of our merchants are commencing operations again, and that here and there buildings-of course, on a small scale--are being put up. We have no doubt that by the time the railroads through the up country are completed, quite a respectable amount of business will be done here. Prominent New York merchants have signified their willingness to accommodate their old customers; so that the scarcity of money need deter none from "entering the lists." We wish one and all success.
