Le the country rally and hold up hi , hands in this laudablo enterprise The reasons for building the Savanna Vulley Ii.il road are greater now tha ever. First, The Bluo Ridgo Railroad wil I certainly bo built. Col. Steers has rc ; sutni'd work upon the f unnels. II Second, The Road from Augusta t ' I Port Royal will bo running by ncx KV.ll ??.- <: ? i - x uu* JL V/A b AIV7J lU lO lUW llUL'St UUl'UU ou the continent. Third. The Road from Augusta direct to Columbia and thence to Char lotto is already in operation. | Fourth, Cotton still commands i good price, and there is no more eafi ' or more profitable investment thai good railroad stocks. The Savannah Valley Railroad wa chartered in 1S52, which was to ex tend for thirty-nix years. It would re quire but little trouble to galvanizi it into veto life. There ought to be i lew alterations. The road ought t< cross the Savannah River at or noa: Fury's Ferry and run into August! instead of Hamburg. From Dorn'i Mine it ought to run the most dircc route to Anderson, which would carrj it hv Abbeville C\ II., which is vct'\ I nearly on "an air line" lrom Dorn'j to Anderson. This route would tuvi ten miles of road, and make the lint lrom Knoxville to Savannah 01 : Charleston much shorter than an\ other line.

[Opinion by tho Cliiel v Justice J?Charleston Republican. * The Bjxe Ridge Railroad.?Col. Steers, tho contractor, has already commenced work 011 Dick's Creek < Tunnel, in Rabun County, (Ja., a few i miles abovo Walhalla. i The Knoxvillo Whig has the follow- : ing in reference to this great enter- J prise: 1 Colonel Thomas Steers, of the Blue 1 j Ridge Railroad, a gentle:).an well 5 1 known in litis city, is stopping at the 1 I Lamar House. 1 The Colonel is the contractor for . the building of the railroad from Walhalla, S. 0., its Southern terminus, to . tho North Carolina line. The con- ' j tract calls for the completion of the line in two years, and tho well-established business talent and enterprise j of Colonel Steers is .sufficient assur- ' , ance and guarantee that its etipula- * tions will be completely and faithfully ' [!complied with. We feel justified in , predicting that the whole line from . Knoxville to Walhalla will be con- j ' constructed and in lull operation in t , three years from this time. Tho im. portanco of this road, forming, as it j ^ does, a link in tho great trunk line , 1 from Cincinnati and Louisville . to ( f Charleston, and the Southern Atlantic ' seaboard, cannot be oyer estimated.
