We do not propose to disooss the systen
of railroads In this Slate, only so far as th
action of the 6tate and Charleston la eon
cerned with the Blue Ridge Road. Orea
expectations have been formed of the blear
ings this Road was to confer on the City c
Charleston and on the railroads leading t
it Tlie Greenville A Columbia, and Sontl
Caroline Railoads in partloular, aad we d<
not doubt, oarrelvee, but that the Road, I
built, will add most signally to the prosperity
of city, State and railroads; provided
nevertbeleea, that the Savannah Vallej
Railroad from Anderson to Anguata Is noi
eonsti ucieii. Many yean ago this prnjeci
was discussed, and we bow sea that meet
ings have been held, and a special one ap
pointed for the first Monday in June, lest,
at Abbeville Court House, * for all persooi
frieudly to the building of the Savannal
Valley Road.** Augusta is alive to tbh
enterprise, as the following from the C'Aron
tele will show:
" The Savannah Valley Railroad Com pa
ny.?The citizens of the northwestern part
of South Tlarolina seem to be energstioslly
in earnest about the revival of this company
and tho inauguration of the enterprise at
an early day. The President and Directon
of the Savannah Valley Railroad Company
have been requested to call, and we learn
will call, a meeting of the, company at Abbeville
C. H., on the Tuesday after the firs I
Monday in June instant, and 'all personi
friendly to the building of the Savannah
Valley Road are respectfully invited to at
t?sn<l ' TKfl tltlOMAf nf nnn nil ?? In ike nnn
atruction of this, or eome line lhat will
command the greatest co-operation in thia
direction ia patent, and it is therefore unnecessary
to do more than to bring the in*
vitation to public notice. By ail lhat we
can learn, there can be no doubt but that
those who have called for the revival of
tliia project are deeply in earnest, and are
determined to put forth all their energies
to attain success. Furthermore, we are in
formed, and believe, lhat there no longer
exists any conflict aa to the proper terminal
point. It was this conflict which blighted
this enterprise in its inception Concurrent
opinion now points to Augusta as tlie
natural and proper terminus to be reached
by the most practicable route. This vexed
question out of the way. harmony j>f actioi
follows. This movement sow promises t<
be a success."
The result of this movement will be, t<
make the Blue Ridge Railroad to be bull
by South Carolina money and State aid
almost wholly a.id entirely a contributoi
to Georgia interest, Charleston will los<
the heavy business of the Road, and Au
gusta and Savannah get the benefit. Oo
railroads, already built, will also lose tin
freights, and a new road, the Savaunal
Valley, not at all important or neeeaaar;
to any material interest in the State, wll
get them. Charleston and Columbia wil
not only lose the material benefits of th
Blue Ridge, but will also lose the grcate
part of the trade of tb? western section o
the State that now ia received by them.?
All would be emptied ioto the lap o
Georgia. This would be the upshot of lh<
great South Carolina enterprise?laf p <
at Clayton, in Georgia, of one-half th<
freight, then the balance mostly would b
carried from the terminus at Anderson
straight to Augusta. If the Savannah Val
ley Road is to be built, the State of Georgi
should certainly come forward and indors
the Bonds of the Blue Ridge Road am
face the damages. What saya Charlestoi
on this subject f Will she, with her usua
blindness to consequences, favor the Savan
nah Valley Road f Will the State at large
We bear nothing in opposition said on th<
subject. It was supreme folly and weak
ness in the Legislature of this Slate e.vei
to have granted a charter for the Savanna!
Valley Road, after undertaking the prodi
gious expense of the Blue Ridge. No othet
State in the world would hav* done so, in
our opinion ; hut it is not too late to correct
the error. If Edgefield, Abbeville and
Anderson Counties needed railroad facili
ties to get to market, there might be some
excuse for the Savannah Valley Road; but
they are already well provided with railroads
running through them and to the
center of two of them, and Edgefield is already
at Augusta by proximity, and connected
with it and Charleston and Columbia
by the railroad running through her
territory. Why then build *a railroad to
divert the benefits of tbe Blue Ridge away
from tbis State to Georgia-almost enUrelyl
We have no ioterest-or feelings in tbis mat
tor bat as citizens of the State looking to
her true welfare^?present and (ntnre. The
true policy for Charleston snd the State, li
to see that a road shall be built from Nine
ty-Slx, or thereabouts, to Aiken when th<
Bin# Ridge is constructed, then this Stab
would get the fullest benefits possible from
the measnre after the tapping at Clayton.

last week to bring about a concert of action
1 between the people of that County and

that the c:tizens of Spartanburg are entbu*
' siaetically in earnest in doing their part to
build the Road. The plan proposed for
Greenville will probably be adopted in

A latter from Kansas City destroys

and labor ehaaper than in tha Seat. At
Humboldt there are about 1,000 emigrant
wagons filled with crying women an-i ehiW

of their husbands and fathers and the cruelty
of those who bade them shake off the
dust, of the East end advance upon the West
tike ho trmv with banners, to go where, as
jo Dpuglas Jerreld's "Australia," the earth j
tickled with the hoe will laugh with the
harvest. For the last fire weeks the region
lias been cracked and warped by drought.
Water oao hardly be obtained, and thus to
the pains of hunger are added the intolerable
pnngs of thirst. Emigrants \o the West
are returning in large bands, thankful on'y
that their lives have Dot been lost. Kansas

for a traveler to find any sort of aceon.modatlon.

following paragraph from the Atlanta (Ga.)
Initlliyenetr of Tuesday, the 10th instnnt:
We were in Aiken, South Carolina, on Sat
uiuhj nigut ia?t, ana ucard repeated reports
of fire arms. Upon enquiring into the cause
thereof we were informed that four negro robbers,
hailing from Atlanta, were dodging about
the town, and that the negroes of Aiken bad
armed themselrea for the purpose of capturing
the party. At one time-they eatne together
and old firearms cracked as tbey used to on
the skirmish line. We heard afterwards that
the negroes were captnred by their .colored
brethren ; but did not bare time to find out
whether or not they were really from Atlanta.
" Wh** knowledge ie health as well as
power," all should learn that SUMTER
BITTERS is the bast Tonio and most de?

THE Radical emi.aari.e of R. K Scott it

State will become bankrupt and totally demoralized.
The time for action haa eoms.1
Let everv township in your counties organ
ise itself at once into Democratic Olntss.
All the citizens, both white end colored In
your respective townships are Democrats,
nave a few money-loving Radicals, And
those aimpla peraona whom they may ae*
duce. The white people of Sooth Carolina
and colored people, are one in interact, and
would be a unit at lha polls but for the
enemjea of good order, peaoe and good
government. These.enemies are the foreign
and domestic Radieala now in our State.
Let all true men atand shoulder to shoulder,
aod on the Third Wednesday of October

Slate end eonntry. No other party but
tbe Democratic ean defeat the Radiwls. ie

The Living' Machine- j!
Injurs the main springof u wstch and 07ery ,|
portion of the work becomes disordered. The j
human stomach is to the fcuuiau system what 0
that elastic piece of metal Is to a chronometer. ..
It influences the actioo of the other organs, and
controls, to a certain extent, the whole living
machine. The comparison may be carried "
further : for as the weakness or oilier itoperfeotions
of the main spring is- indicated on
the face of the tiino-pieco, so also is the weakness
or other jjlsoriiar of the stomach betrayed
by the face of the Invalid. The complexion
is sallow or faded, the eyes arc deficient
in lustie and intelligence, and there is a worn,
anxious expression in tbo whole countenance
which tell as plainly as written words could
do, that the great nunrithing organ whose
office it is to minister to the wants of the
body, and to sustain and renew all its parts,
is not performing its duty. It requires renovating
and regulating, and to accomplish
this end Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be
truly said to be the one thing neeity'iit. Tbc bro
Ken main spring of a watch inny be replaced
by a new one, but tbe stomaoh can only be
repaired and strengthened, and this i? one of
tbe object* of fuuiou* vegetable restorative* [
whicb for eighteen year* ha* f een waging a f,
Hucccaeful contest with dyspepsia in all eli.
mates. As a spcciGo for indigestion it stauds p
alone. When the resources of tbo pharmaco- n
putia have been exhausted, without, at best,
doing more than mitigating the complaint, a
course of this wholoaouiu and pal stable, yet j
powerful, stomachic effects a perfect and per
manent cure. In all canes of dyspepsia the
liver is more or less disordered, and upon this
important gland, as well an upon tbe ntuinacb
and bowels, the Bitters act with singalar
distinctness, regulating and rvinvigoratlng
cv ry secretive and assimilating organ on -*
wh ch bodily and mental health depend. "
