From Chitatro to tlio Sea. Mr. W. S. llayinond, president of tho Indianapolis, Delphi and I Chicago railroad, called upon us on Monday. lie is an 'ardent advo eatc of a direct line of railroad from Chicago to the South Atlantic ports. The route lie favors is from Chicago, Delphi, Indianapolis, and Grcensburg to Vevay, on the Ohio; thenco to Lexington, Ky., and Knoxville, Tenn.; thence via Rabun Gap to Augusta, where he will meet his outlet to the sea, the Port Royal, railroad. A convention was held in Augusta on Tuesday in favor of this project. Of course Georgia will favor coming from Rabun Gap via the llartwell road, through Columbia, Lincoln, Wilkes, Elliott and Hart counties. IV rt V?A]i/iun liAWoiror *!? ?< fkn TV V UVtlW W) UVTTVI VI j (t!i?v n?v i better routo will be via the Blue Ridge road to Anderson, through Abbeville and Edgefield counties to Augusta. Over three million dollars worth of available work has been done on this route. The road is now in a fair way to be taken out of the bands of political rascals, and once more appear as a bona fide enterprise. Our people should awake to the importance of putting the Blue Ridge into such a condition as that it will be ready to compete as a connecting link in the great line certain to bo soon in operation from Chicago to Knoxville. The route proposed by Mr. Ilaymoiul is the very shortest that can be made from Chicago to this port. A great part of it will be built , through new country, where no line will contest with it directly for UUOIllCCOl Some inducements are offered by a routo from Lexington, *Ky., through Cumberland Gap, thence to Asheville, N. C., and thence through South Carolina to Augusta and Port Royal. This route would pass through one of the finest mineral regions of the continent, abound ing in coal and :ror. Gov. Moses ou Rice. Messrs. Duryca & Cohen, of Charleston, recently addressed a letter to Gov. Moses, informing him that certain capitalists contemplated the purchase of a largo tract of kind on the San tee river for the purpose of cultivating rice on a lgrge scale. They asked for tb;- Governor's views as to the manner in which foreign labor would be received, and as as to the rights of labor in tlris state. The Governor replies in a long letter. He says capital will be welcomed, but recotumends that negro labor bo emjloyed in the culture of rice. The following is oue of his finest sentences: ' These children of a torrid clinic? fi'Aiit tin* latuJ nf fltnui't?In 111* the noonday blaze, and sleep unharmed amid noxious vapor.-> that would, to the white man, prove the wines ofcdeath." The Columbia Herald says the letter is exhaustive. Haj^Tlie Evening Courier, of Charleston, lias suspended. The indifference of Charleston to newspapers is in singular* contrast vrith the encouragement which Savannah gives to tlicui. The latter city has three morning pa perseachof which, are larger and better than Charleston's one. All look lively and prosperous, and yet Charleston has more than double the population of Savannah.

F. Roberts, of l'urysburg, on the Savannah river. She will pet n return freight from Mr. Roberts, consisting of rosiu, turj?entine, etc., for Charleston. The high rates of freight on the Savannah & Charleston railroad renders this mode of conveyance profitable. ttfi. Work will begin on the docks at Fort Lyttleton to the course of teu days.

On the morning of the lltli instant, a lect party left the dock at Beaufort, by rotation of M, Politzer, Esq., in the yacht w ma, for a sail to the sea. Among the aI rty was a merchant, a physician, a civil '8 gineer, a salesman, a sailor, and lastly ^ editor. Here were sagacity, scientific Si tainmont, mathematical accuracy, suavi- ai , nautical skill, and a conceded combina C >n of all the above qualities and many T ore. Of course the provisions were not a ft behind. Hunger and thirst were nnti- u anted and means were taken to satisfy eir demands. A spanking breeze, a eau- ^ craft and a jovial crew. We wei? ippy. After a stretch of five miles out P ward tho light-ship, wo made for Bay ct )int beech. Before reaching it, however, o e merchant and the engineer were li rticably quiet, while the editor retired for o editation. Old Neptune demanded a ibute, but failed. Though he made me feel qualmish, all was forgotten p hen the breeze sprang up again and Bay ]j >int landing was made. A lunch spread jj it on an improvised table in one of the t,( sorted houses speedily disappeared. G| onongahela and California contributed (j, e fluids, Maine the ice. Again we were m- b Then a stroll on the beach to search r shells, and watch the breakers. Others n arched for the body of the drowned ilor, which had been reported as lying ^ posed on the shore. Near the old ^ l?arf, it was found. The arm and hand iug above the ground. Those who bur- n 1 it only had an oar with which to dig a allow giave in the light, shifting sand, id the wind desplaced the thin vering. The flesh upen the limb and md was strangely preserved. Tho party 0 en determined, at the suggestion of Mr. d >litzer, to return and give this poor waif h ocean cast upon our shores a decent ^ trial, where he may lie undisturbed until p oendoftimo.

These complaints are Pf oubtlcss ju.st. There were hardship,* tl laugurutcd in the passage cf these laws, nd there will be hardships in carrying ut the act which blots them from the tatuto book.

Death of Hon. James L. Orr. The announcement of the death of thi romiuent and distinguished citizen of tli late will be received with sincere sorrot irougliout the laud, 'i ho telegraph it mus us that ho died suddenly in Si ertersburg on the 5th iustuut, from inilti atiou of the lungs. Judge Orr has emu anded a conspicuous and influential pos ion in the political arena of the Stat om the time of hisiirst entry into publi fe until his death. As nu oratory says the Caroli/iiitn, h as not great, nor was lie :i man of po! hod Bcholarshiji, nor of deep erudition is learning was that which came frou servation and the study of men, rathe tau of his books. His intuition of liumui taracter and the spriugs which goveri to actions of men was wonderful, am ndered himperhaps the most s iguciou id far-seeing politician the State ha per produced. It is the weakness of most men in ou tinocratic country, even those of groti tellcctual abilities, to become devotee ' party, nud to lost; sight, in a great meas re, of theobjectsat which all political m iniztttions aim iu their advocacy of the 01 lnization itself. Judge Orr was never so e woald change his views of public poll at any time his judgment so dictated )t as was sometimes said by his oppon jnts, for iho sake of his personal ad\auc< cnt. but, because, to him, the cowinoi terestt;d demanded it. LIo was singularly independent in hi ublic nrti in, anu uuiu uuu imaelf directly in opposition to tins cm uit opinion of tho great majority of th jopleof hin State. In private life Judge Orr was genia nd generous, and made for himself i >st of warm personal friends. Tho State which ho loved and served a ell will sadly iu'ibs him.

Under the management oi'Col. W.C. Cai-ring ton, it is having a most successful career. 1 Few companies north or south can show c so good a business, relative, of last year. > The increase of now business in 1872 over r 187J was 412 policies, $124,824 amount f at risk, and 840,907, premiums. Its to. tal income receipts were $1,250,904, and it distributed among the widows and children of policyholders the large sum of i $3.46,026. Since the beginning of the new year the rush of business has been greater than ever, the number of policies taken out in February alone being 435 r and the risks on them being $1,000,000. j All this is evidence of the high cstima. tiou in which this company is held in the south, and that indorsement is sufficient ^ to satisfactorily commend it to the patronage of the people of other sections of the Union. : u.
