ITS CONTINUATION FROM DOBN'S MINES TO EDGEFIELD* We Hope Aiken Will Act Promptly and Generously. Edgefield, Advertiser. On Tuesday morning hint, we ^rofe Very agreeably surprised by a ? 1stt from it ifbntlemail, whom, us a civil engineer of tin; highest iit ialnments, we had long known h> reputation. This was Miijor T. II. Lee. of Anderson, whose name nnd labors are Identified with most of the railroads of the 1'Ied i out region of the two Carolina*.

The latter point is lu Abbeville, some tlve or six miles north ot Dorn'H Mines, General Brndlcy'ls voice Is emphatically in favor of Trlckciii'o: Major Lee having completed tiie survey of tile route frrtln Anderson to Dorn's Mines, came thence to Minefield on Monday, on a reconnaisanCe, at. the instance of his Company, which is wisely looking forward to reaching the sea by way oi Edgefield. Trenton and Aiken. From Dorn's Mines to this point, twenty-six miles, crossing Big Stevens Creek nt tiie mouth of Kooky Creek, and Hig Turkey (.'reek at I lie mouth of Cyper Creek, near Mr. Tandy Martin's, coming by Mrs. D. D. Brunson's, ttnd reaching Edgefield by way of Potters viltt4, Major Lec rode leisurely on horse l)tick, and ieils us that with the exception of lieavy and Expensive work at the crossing of lUot ?? Ml. M.I rt I t,'u Mill rnntn Is heautifiil urul easy. As regards I lie north ward extension of the vimnali Valley Hoad, it is embraced In the projected Atlantic and French Broad Road, which will run from Aslievllle to hasly, a point in Anderson County on the Air Line Itoad, and thence either to the town of AnJersoti or to Helton. Work on this road is already commenced. As regards the northward extension lroin Aslievllle, of course It Is L?y way of Knoxvllle. connecting with the jreat Nofth West. In this grand project, ivhleh has already assumed definite and almost certain shape, the link between Horn's Mines arid Kdgoneld would be of paramount importance and of easy completion. And as ivo said to Major Lee, only prove to our Edgeleld townships concerned, that there Is flrin ciundatlon and sure hope in this matter, and hey will do their wholeduty. And now what will Aiken do on Thursday >r Friday of this week, when her voters are ;o cast their ballots for or against the subt icription of $o,0<K)?to be raised by bonds rf .he municipality? We are sorry to say, from ivhat we hear, and from the tone of our eseemed cotemporary the Aiken Courier and Journal, that an upshot of the matter favorible to us is by no moans ccjtalu. President Tones, always alive to the Interests of his oad, and always on the watch. Is now in Uken.and we earnestly hope his endeavors uid arguments will convert nil opponents of lubscrlptlon.

F Gen. Gary Is working for Gen. Gufy, Hot I'of ha\ South Carolina." I can but reply to what he repeats as having betin said of me by (Jen. 4 1 Lee, by briefly slating what Gen.

"?io At the battle of Riddle's Shop, bolow Rich- ?re( mond, 1 prevented Gen. Grant,8 Army from occupying Mai Vern Hill, and held his advan- JA" ced troops In check until Gen.
