Counties in North Carolina and Georgia,
who are friendly to the enlerprize, to
meet us in Convention, on a day certain
for consultation, with a view to
harmonious and united action] and third,
covering sundry details designed to car
ry out the views expected, and contribute
as far as may be, to the consummation
of the desired object.
1. Resolved, That we regard the project
of connecting Charleston with the
mountain region of this State by railroad
as entirely practicable, and as of the utmost
importance to our whole people,
pecuniarily, socially and politically.
2. Resolved, That we look forward
with delight and fixed confidence, to the
ultimate accomplishment of this great
work, and that we will contribute to the
success of the enterprize, by every
means in our power, consistent with a
due regard to our individual interests.
3. Resolved, That we recommend to
our fellow citizens of this District, to subscribe
to the capital stock of said Road,
with characteristic liberality, believing
uiui me investment will at least be safe
if not profitable, and productive of ad- j
vantages to us as a peope, that are not
to be estimated by dollars and cents.
4. Resolved, That we approve of the
action of the Greenville Convention, fixing
Newberry village as a point upon
the road, and that Greenville Court
House is the only natural and proper
point for the principle upper termini.
5. Resolved, As the deliberate judgment
of this meeting, that in advancing
r tvt ~ "
irotn rNewoerry 10 the interior with said
road, it is expedient to diverge partially
to the left, running through a portion of
Laurens, Abbeville and Anderson, to
Greenville; for the following among
many other reasons: The character of
the country through which it would pass,
offers more inducements?it would accommodate

Carolina, with commercial facilities?it
would it would increase very materially
ihe number of passengers and amount of
transportation, rendering the stock of
more value.
6. Resolved, That we recommend the
friends of the contemplated rail road, to
assemble at Anderson Court House, on
the third Mondav in November ne*t fnr
a full, free and mutual interchange of
opinion in reference thereto, and to devise,
as far as may be, ways and means
to insure its success.
7. Resolved, That our fellow citizens
of Laurens, Newberry, Abbeville, Pickens,
Greenville, and other Districts in
this State, and such Counties in North
Carolina and Georgia, as are friendly to
the proposed work, be requested to meet

The Preamble and Resolutions were
read by the Chairman, J. L. Orr, and enforced
by him in a re w practical remarks;
after which they were advocated by J.
P. Reed in an eloqnent and forcible
speech, in which he demonstrated the
practicability of accomplishing the enterprise?the
certain profits it would
yield to the stockholders, and the great
advantages resulting to them entire community,
in a social, moral and political
point of view.
The Preamble and each of the Resolutions
were then put to the meeting separately,
and unanimously adopted.
Fearful Ravages of the Cholera
in India.?The ravages of the cholera
at Kuraches had been most
disastrous. Between the 14th and
23rd of June, about 8000 human
beings were cut off, including 850
Europeans, of whom 815 were
fisrhtincr men. Resides thiss
Sepoys, and it is believed about
7000 native camp-followers, and
inhabitants of the town, have died.
The disease commenced its destructive
course on Sunday, the
14th when the weather was unusually
stagnant and oppressive.

"Before midnight nine of the
eighty-six were at rest: and men
began to be borne into hospital in
such numbers that it was difficult
to make arrangements for their
reception. It was a fearful night.
With morning came the tidings
that the pestilence was oversold
ding the town, and fifty had in
twenty-four hours fallen victims.
The Kighty-sixth were the earli- j
est, and continued to be the severest
sufferers. They and her Majesty's
Sixtieth, had for six months
been 1* tents close to each other ;

now began to abate?it
had done its worst, and seemed
about to withdraw; within less
than a fortnight 900 Europeans,
including 815 fighting men were
carried away; 600 Native soldiers,
and 7000 of the camp followers
and inhabitants of the town, had
uuvu nutucu iinu eiermty. 'i'he
conduct of the Governor, [Sir
Charles Napier.] is stated to have
been beyond all praise ; anxiety
for the sick conferring an alacrity
on limbs that the hand of time
might have stiffened. Only two
officers had died. So sudden was
death with some, that they were
seized, cramp collapsed, dead,
almost as fast as I have written
the words. Previous health and
strength were no guarantees ; men
attending the burial of their comrades
were at tacked, borne in t.h*?
| hospital and buried themselves the
next morning. Pits were dug in
the church yard morning and evening;
sewn up in their beddings,
coffinlcss they were laid side by
side, one service read over all.
Public works were suspended during
15th and 16th. Medicine
seemed powerless; nothing that
medical science could suggest took
eflect?they, v\ere, in fact, dealing
with corpses. It was not until
the third day that medicine as
auiiircu any sway; since it has
done so, I should say two-thirds of
the cases have been saved.

The most startling event in European
politics, by the mail of 19th
September, is the appearance
again of Don Carlos, to claim the
throne of Spain, and the probable
reorganization of his party, backed
beyond doubt by England, if
Louis Phillippe persists in the
marriage of the Duke de Montpen
sier, his son, with the Infanta of
Spain. This marriage, the cabinets
of Europe apprehend, would
so strengthen the power and influence
of France, as to render
their opposition at this time indispensable
to the future peace of
Eurooe. The annpar?n/>p of iVn
Carlos will either break off the
match or a new revolution will be
got up in Spain, the result of
which cannot be foreseen.

the cotton crop of the present

that Isaac Franklin, who began
life as a boatman, died recently
at his residence in Summer county,
