Revive tlie Blue Rld^c R. R.
We are glad to note signs of a
reviving interest in Anderson, Abi
bcville and Edgefield counties in
J tbe Blue Ridge railroad and its ex
^deration. From Cincinnati , to
Knoxville the route is plain and
may be said to have been decided
cpon. From Knoxville there
seems but one route worthy of
serious consideration, if the object
is to reach deep water on the Atlantic
coast. It must come through
Rabun Gap, thence to Anderson
by Edgefield and Aiken to Port
Royal. Never was there a time so
ftvorablo as the present to acomplish
this great work. The great
rucstion of the hour is, the rnultijdicatiorTof
means of transportatron.
AVhat mean these conventions
at New York, St Louis, Atlanta
and Indianapolis ? They arc
but faint i .dices of a great movement
of the people to secure cheap
transportation for food. The consumer
at one point and the producer
at the other arc equally determined
to achieve a common purpose.
It is our fortune to be in a position
to tube advantage of this great
movement. We have the deep liarlor
which both demand. We have
the very best, straiglitcst, easiest
built and shortest route from the
granaries to the sea.
It is certain that no gap will
compare with Rabun gap as a means
of access from Ivnoxviile to the
Atlantis. Certainly two millions
of dollars worth of available work
has been done on the Blue Ridge
road through the mountains. The
great draw hack to that enterprise
hitherto has been that the road is
too short, in proportion to the expense,
to attract capital to i\ Let
it, however, he now expended
through Anderson, Abbeville and
Kdgefield to Port Royal, and it can
command the attention and aid of
capital.
The Blue Ridge road is now, for
the first time, in a condition to he

bands of an assignee. A good,

would make a subscription of
?100,000 each to the stock of a
new company, we believe tbe llluc
Kidjie could be once more resurrectcd
from the grave. AVi 11 they do

A Curious Complication,
The Marine & ltiver Phosphate comj
my recently agree 1 t> purchase a wharf
site ou tlic point oflan I where are the
juius of Fort LyttVon. Tlio present
owner bought tlio land froin a colored
Mau who bad. in turn, bought it from
the V. F. Tax ccnimi-sioners. In -earchi
ig fir the note-war owner Mr Cicbin
discovered that the land in tpMsfion,
about fve a r^, hvl been c led in
J <08 by tbe state of South Caro'ina to
the Vn'.tcd States government a- a : ite
i r fortiScatton lor use in the contonij
I.ttcd war with tingland n < a defen.-e of
this harbor and town. Of course, the
I ax conni.issioner.s hid dm ri':ht to assess
Mi l sell Cnitod States property for taxes,
::ad con cjiientiy the title triven hy them
t i the colored man was of no value, and
tacrif <rc the title has never passed at]
i'l. This discovery lias impeded the i
1 sie*ie? of the improvements designed
1 y the Marin k Kiver eomj>any, and
t:iey will probably he obliged to seek
another site.

The "direct trade" in fish, crabs w'
etc., is going briskly on between Augustu nc
and Beaufort. Mr. Davenport is agent at til
this end of the line, and will soon have h<
weirs fixed in which crabs, fish and turtles tli
may be kept alive and shipped fresh and \y]
lively as they may be ordered from rjie ca
west. There have been already shipped a?
several hundred dollurs worth. Tlie men ^
and boys find a ready market for all the ar
fish and crabs they can catch. As many
as three thousand crabs were shipped lust

The compromise of 3Ir. Cay, by

1. Resolved, That the several delegates J
and friends of such enterprise here assem- e
bled with a view to concert of action, do e
hereby resolve themselves into an associa- j
tion to be styled '"The Chicago, Knox- t:
ville, Augtista and South Atlantic Short 1<

2. Resolved, That, as at present ad- b
vised, we recommend the following gen- p
cral location as embracing the great ob- f
ject in view, viz: from Chicago to Indian- f
apolis; thence to Lexington, Kv.; thence r
to Knoxvillo, Tenn., (with a brauch from
an eligible point, through Cumberland
Gap iu the direction of Ashevillc, N. C.)
from Knoxville over the line of the Dlue .
Ridge Railroad to Clayton, Ga.; thence '
over the most practicable line to the City 1
of Augusta and the South Atlantic coa^t
having proper regard to distance, cheap- ness
of construction and general results
of business; .
3. Resolved, That to promote and consuinmate,
as far 41s possible, the great J
project before us, a committee of ten be .
appointed by the chairman, whose busi- '
ness it shall be to ascertain and embody
in a report all such facts and suggestions '
as may be necessary to bring this enter .

tioc of capitalists and the people at large fi
especially the distance from point to [
point, practicability of routes, npproxi 1

such committee shall deem advisable, ?
which was unanimously adopted.

i "With proper steamship connection
i at that port there is no reason why the
; line of roads between I'ort Royal and
the West may not secure a largo bu-ii
nejs in hauling grain for exportation, as
well as n considerable importing trade
i for the cities and towns of the West,
and a fair share of tha emigration from
1 the old World through i'ort Royal and
over the Georgia Road and its Western
( connections. The expense, inconvenience
and del.ay ofdraying experienced
at other Atlantic port- will no: be reqair
d; and bv having all the roads extendig
from Port Royfl to Louisville and St.

not many miles from here. The

A STRONG SOUTHERN COMPANY.
The only sontliorn life in?umnrc company
doing bns'ncss in New Fork is the
Piedmont and Arlington, of Yirgi ia. I n- j
dortlic inanageuie.it oPCul. W. C Carriu.,ton,
it is having a most successful career.
Few companies north or south can show ^
so good u business, relative, of last year.
The increase of new business in 1 ^72 over
1*71 was 412 policies, ?124,S24 amount
at risk, and 810,91)7, premiums. Its total
incoutc receipts were ?1,2.*>0,904. and ^
it distributed among the widows and
children of policyholders the large sum ol
?:?Jf>,02i>. Since the beginning of the
new year the rush ol business has been
greater than ever, the number of policies ^
taken out in February alone being 4
an 1 the risks on them being 8! ,000,000.
All this is c\ idoncc of the high e.-tiillation
in which this company is held in the
south, and that indorsement is sufficient >
to satisfactorily counuerid it to the patronage
of the people of other sections of
the Union.
