Wo publish elsewhere the procceder

ie'of men of keen foresignt, of enlarged i

Q*j They have taken the first step, have;
iput their shoulders to the wheel; and!

' zeal and hopefulness. Tho claim !
1 '.seems to be so entirelv equitable, that!
I f "
j it appeals rather to the sense of pub-'
H:lie justice than to the Legislative!
J' discretion. Col. Sloan, who has put
0 j himself into a position to be fid viced, j
1- speaks confidently of the result. The |

' public meeting Veld at Dorit's <joid!
' Mine, in bchulf of the ?Suvunnuli Val .
j ley llnilrond, n mooting of the citi-i
r.efiB of Abbeville >viv? held at the.
Courthouse, on Tuewlny, tho 7th inst.,
'to conceit m ensures for reviving this
j enterprise.
On motion of OJmicral McGownn,
Win. U. J'urfcor, Ka^., was called to
' tho chair, and \V. A. Lee, Ks<p, rc;
quested to ok Secretary.
j Tho Chairman briefly Mated the
j object of tho meeting, and called up.on
the gentlemen .present who were
familiar villi the design and onler.
vsted in the success of tjie great work,
' to givo expression to their views on
, the subject.
Mr. William li. Porn first addressed
tho meeting in behalf of the enterprise,
and pledged himself to sus>
tain it to (ho extent of his means.
In this he was but giving expression
to the public fi-oliug which was cxi
hibitcd at the enthusiastic ineetiug at
, the Mine, and which fully represented
the public interest manifested in
, ins secuon. "11 icy had grautcd there
the right of way. and would contribi
m(c a liberal subscript ion. l?o had
.'no personal interest in the roulo beyond
him, except in having the most
direct and eligible route selected.
That route ho believed, would bo by
?j Abbeville (_'. 1J-, and according io his
est imate, would lie some livo miles
j shorter than any other, besides com'
| billing oilier advantages.
| (ion. Mctiowan next addressed the
meeting, giving a brief outline of the
! past history of the enterprise?ad,{verting
to the causes which led to its
i intciTUntion. and Il><?
! which necessitate its revival. In
! 1S.">2 the Kuad was chartered fur
'thirly-six yours, upon compliance
with certain preliminary conditions.
I This charter was modified in subsequent
years, and now terms granted
| and new conditions imposed. Those
' conditions in part h:\vo been complied
with?'the necessary amount
of stock was raised and the work
'commenced. Then "came the delude"
i a
' and further progress was suspended.
l)ut even if the charter bo subsisting,
the subscriptions have been dissipated
the subscribers nrc many of them
'! dead, and the whole body ol' corporators
needs revival. It is more easy
! to build anew than "to administer
upon tl?c assets." Hence the design
'of this meeting. It was preliminary
to the meeting of the Stockholders
to-morrow. It was to tender out-side
1 aid, and imparl new life to the old
'organization. As fully expressing
'these views, and as embodying the
'sense of the meeting in favor of loca
iiing the route by Albevillc C. 31., he
'submitted the following resolutions;
Whertax, tho project of running a
Jiai! lload from Hamburg or Augusta
; to Anderson C. If. has been received
land efforts are now being made to

' therefore resolved.

ty if Abbeville, deeply impressed
with tho importance of building up
our waste plac.cs, and restoring
tho prosperity of this tino old county
which was oneo so prosperous, by
increased Hail Jioad faeiliticn, and espocially
by distributing tho advan;

;and support to those who are engagjed
in the work of running a road from

II.
Second. Unsolved that Abbeville
Court House, tho ccntre and seat of
government of tho county is ou or
, near tlie direct and most practicable
route of said Jhiil Jtoad connecting
the said termini; that this is one of
tho natural points on said lino, and thei
location by thisplaco will not only
shorten the JJoad, but incrcaso its
business and comfort with a larger
benefit to tho whole county of Abbeville,
than any other location.
Third. ltesolved, that Iho town of j
Abbeville and vicinity will make a Ii b
eral subscription for said road, up?n |
condition that it is located to their!
place; and that this mcoting ap-j
point a committco of seven to mcot
fho officers and stockholders of tbo
Savannah Valley Kail lloiul at the
meeting hero to-morrow to confer togother
us to the expediency and propriety
of bo changing tho location of
the road as to run by Abbovillo C. II.
Tho resolutions woro seconded by
Col. James S.Cothran, who said that
he entertained no doubt that the road
would be built. Tho question was
between this route and that, through
Elberton. This presented as fow obstacles,
to say the least, and avos more
direct, Anderson was as near as
Hartwell, and at the former you
tapped tho rich tido of trado flowing
through tho Bluo Ridge, whilst, at
tho latter you had miles still of moun*
tain obstacles to ovcrcomo. Tho experience
of railroad men establishes
tho fact, that ? saving of each mile
involves a saving of 150,000, and this
affords a strong argument four tho selection
of tho routo by Abbeville C.

of the war, the work would
have been accomplished. The point
| to be first determined was whether the
' charter of the i'oad was subsisting or
! # 0
, had been forfeited by a failure to com!
plete the work in the time limited".
I In the former case, we might open the
I books of subscription at oncc?in the
I latter, we must apply to the Legislature
for relief. In any event, the
building of tho IMno liidge ]{ond,
must necessitate the early completion
of this. It was a necessity, which
was fully recognized in the foresight
and public spirit which prompted
the meeting to-day, and which involved
in behalf of the enterprise, the
largest sympathy and support.
It being ascertained that a majority
of tho stock of the C'ompanj- was not
represented, on ntotion of Col. Sloan,
J tho meeting resolved itself into a
public meeting of tho citizens gencrjallv,
in behalf of tho prosccutiou of
tho work.
As preliminary to further action
and as determining the proceedings of
tjie meeting, J. X*. Jieed Esq.,'ottered
1 * t. ~ A ll - - - l
liiu lojiowmg resouiuons:
Resolved, That it is a matter of
vast importance to f,^c country that
tho Savannah Valley iia.il Jfoad
jahould be revived, and, constructed at
the curliest profiable period.
Resolved, Tliut it ho referred to a
committee consisting of .lion. A.
| Hurt, Jlon. J. L. Oit, ni.d Thos
Thomson Esq., to enquire and report
whether the charter has been lost by
lion user or by an}* other cause and
tbat they report to an adjourned
meeting at ii o'clock p. in- to-day.
In support of these resolutions be
, ursred tho imnnvf !??#?? rif t !?<?
! prise and tho necessity of prompt cn'
ergetic action to sccure its completion,
ilt was an importance which howcv
cr cnlianeed by the completion of the
jUliio "Ridge Ilond, was independent of
it; and the interests and necessities of
our own scction alike demanded the
building of tho JRoad.
Tlio resolutions were seconded by Col
Sloan, who expressed tho opinion,
that whatever conclusion might be
reached, as to tho present status of
tho company, an application to the
Legislaluro to restoro tho old charter
with its franchises was so entirely
eouitablo Hint, it, ronlil nnf f.iSI K..
successful.
Tho resolutions wcro then unanimously
adopted.
(ion. McGowan in behalf of the
Committco appointed at a mooting of
tho citizens of tho District, held on
tho previous day, submitted tho resolutions
which had been adopted at
that meeting.
[Those resolutions aro published in

He explained that these resolutions
had been adopted with a yiow of being

GentlemenI wish to present to
>ur honorublo b?d\* some nuisances'
i
the eorporato limits of thin town,|
liieli I wish you to correct?in olh-i
-words to pass an ordinance, to!
impel every man to fence in bogs or j
ires within your jurisdiction, so that;
ir cows and calves will not getiu-l
> them. T know of bogs, soiao of
hich will hold a calf, some a cow j
id some a meeting-house.
"A g<'lf profound ns that Serhoian hopt,
]i?twi.xl iiniiiiuta and Mount (Jnmua ol?i,
Where armies whole Imve uuuk."
I somclimes get into the mire my-!
'If, but I manage to gel out with a
Itle help. ]>ut my reason for writ-'
ig this communication is this, thai
t the lust mouth, 1 have seen three
>ws in the mire, two of which "died
lere, and one escaped alive. There
lay have been more, but t suppose
icy were woilics and went clear out
f sight. Now this nuisance must be j
jmoved by law, if it is not iiHConalitu- 1
ounl. 11* 3*011 will give me forty dolirs
per month, and an efficient assistive
"liig Aaron" 1 will keep the
dws out of the mire.
]>ut 1 know some of your honorblo
body will oppose any ordinance
n the cows' liberties. One will say,
do as I do ; dont keep a cow but buy
our niillc," Well suppose all tliceows
ie in tl?c mire, -where will I buy my
lillc. Another of you will say, "let
lie cows go in the mire. I dont care,
havo a farmyard to be kept up.
mother will say, "I have a Shoe-shop
nd 1 want to buy leather cheap."
mother will say, "let the cows enjoy
heir liberty ami go where they please
s I have carriage* to trim." Anther
will say. "I want leather to
ome down, so I can sell shoes cheap."
ml you Mr. Mayor, 1 know you will
ppose it, as it will slop all litigation
n the cow-question.
15ul I hopo your honorable body
vill lay aside nil personal interest
md act for the good of tho conimuniy;
of which you arc tho Guardians.
X have another nuisances to precnt
to you. It is the want of a
nee hnc to compel every man to keep
lawful li'itcn. Tf lw? ;<j 4/ .
cop a lawful fencc, malco him sell
ut to some one that eao. Now this
iw will not cft'oet me in the least; as
lie High Sheriff found out by some
oolc or by croo.k two yeaes ago, tliat
was not able to keep up my fence;
e soltl me out to the highest bid'
er. Bo I do not enro bow sti'ingont
law, you may pass, as I will not
ave to pay anything. 1 am now out
f business and have nothing else to
o, but to utteud to other peoples' busiess,
like soino men 1 know who pre:r
to attend to others, than their
wn.
As l'lliek Wicr, -would say, "by
lolly," 1 want a bog law and a fenec
iw. If 3*ou aro not able to pay me
good salary, just apply to tho next
legislature, for an appropriation of
lty thousand dollars to buy rajls for
l?M?V m o n fn Pnnnn in 1??" T
? V.J (lima bU 1VHVU ill 11IO JUIIUO. J
now you will get it, if you clcct tlic
ight sort of men this full, without rcard
to race, color or previous eondion.
If you in your wisdom do not pass
ieso ordinances, I will say as a cerlin
man onco said to me, "woo be to
10 man that crosses my son's paths."
will say, "woe bo to tho laud owner
lat lets my cow get into the miro,.for
>r if I loso my cow, I will have to
uy my milk from my rich ncighors."
I am what you might call an old
tan and an old citizen.
