THE LADY DUFFERIX. On Thursday last, the ship Lady Duffcrin entered Port Royal harbor, sailed I over the bar and up to the dock at Port Royal city in one tide. Pilot Young who brought her in, reports that she was drawing nineteen feet of water, ana tuai when she crossed the bar there was about ten feet of water to spare. She is fiftyfour days frotu Liverpool and has a cargo of cotton ties for Augusta and Savannah. CaptaEvans reports the heaviest thunder and lightning storuis at sea that he has evefr encountered. The arrival of the Dnfferin at Por' Royal city with a cargo for Savannah and Augusta seems to have thrown the Charleston and Savannah papers into the greatest consternation and alarm. The News and Courier calls it a pill for Port Royal, (we think tl.c pill is for Charleston) and the Savannuh News thinks it is on account of some peculiar prejudice that Augusta has agaiust Savannah, The simple fact of the matter according to the statement of Captain Evans, is that she was 'drawing too much wafer to approach Savannah Dearer than Venus's point, which is about fifteen miles ? 1 ?4 4 I from the city, friends you navcu i gut the water. Nature hasn't been as boun-1 tiful to you asshe has been to us. Port Royal is not ambitious, she only claims hershare of shipping, and when a vessel i requires a large draft of water she will find it at Port Royal. EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Condition of the Treasury?The Crop, pingont of Governor's Promptness of Tax Payers?Tardiness in the Mandamus decision of Morten Bliss & Co. Columbia S. C. Aug. 23, 1873, toe treasury. ' . People continue to throw stones at the Treasury whether tliey live in glass houses or not. It is a laboring revenge they seek. The treasurer has answered more questions, than almost any man with a fair comprehension of the dignity of his office, would submit to. He has in carefully prepared statements shown where every dollar has been expended, yet there are hundreds with wrinkling certificates in their wallets, who seems to be devoid of any arithmetical calculation, and know, no reason why more than two millions and a half of dollars cannot be paid with something a little over a million and half. They do not look at the source that created these debts, nor the ways and means that the sourcs provided for the payment of them. They will lire and learn in this respect, and most decidedly will they hold on to their paper a while longer. It is understood that the treaurer has in print the articles recently published concerning the condition of the state treasury and that they will be widely circulated in pamphlet form. CROPPING OCT. The prospect of a good crop of candidates for governor next tcriu, is good and growing better almost every day. Whether the words of Old Deuteronomy regarding the first Moses,?!! and he buried him in a valley in tbo land cf Moab, over against Bcthpcbr, but no mem knoiceth his sepulchre unto this dap!! arc to be verified in the next political shuffle, is a matter, that the well wishes of the prosperity of this state may watch with concern. Certain it is that there will be no lack of aspirants for the office, as far as this may go toward Tli^v are nf all shades and l iiav ivcuivi ? colors. Indeed it is hinted at that color may have much to do with the election of the next Governor; should Congressman Elliott become a candidate, out and out, this argument would be his most patent; it would please many of the short sighted in the Republican ranks; and the Democrats, who disquieted and disgusted, from pure spite, and a kind of hope that the Republican party in this state*would have taken a long stride towards its dissolutions?would gladly welcome a colored Governor, if they had to put up with any Republican at all in that office. The wiser heads, such as Na?h. Maxwell and many others, who have been for acme time in the political arena, see danger in such a movement, and will, in convention most probably grub it of all its unseemly sprouts. Then wc have floating up on the sea breeze from Charleston, the whisper that XI- rV>llan?/M. \Vnrtl,in<rtnn? nmhitinn. like Elliotts has run away withhim, ami turned his noddle enouirh to give him a fnney for the Gulinoticnal chair. From many movements in different directions, and some are in the same direction, the attorney general is set down as being fairly a prospective candidate : of oonrsc he will not receive the nomination. The last cropping out, was in I<ex ington yesterday, when ex-Senator Hayes' name was put forward, and his claims argued as fitting and cntit ing him fbr the position : the chief of these was that he never did anything in the Senate, (there may bo some virtue in this ) and was a " oollege-brcd '' man. Everybody seems to want (?) everybody for governor. Scott, poor fellow, is up in Ohio looking after tho remainder of that property ho spent so much of while he was " Excellency, " yet he receives his ration of nomination, and it comes from Newhenry : why the dencc it should come from that place is a puzzle, because they received less pork and corn than almost any othor county in the state ; a glance at Dr. Ensor's report however shows that in the institution under his charge Newberry has a large per centage. Meantime judging from conferences, removals, appointments, promises etc-, the present incumbent i3 not bent upon any hasty journey to that unknown (political) sepulchre. However, Dr. Neagle is yet to be heard from. TAX RETURNS. From all points of the state, come the most favorable accounts of tax returns. The auditors arc loud in their praises of how promptly the peoj le have returned their property. The amount has been considerably decreased. I The next question is to dispose of the money when collected. This will not take a great while, judging from previous years, the long talked of Extra session, of the legislature may be as early as the middle of October; it may not be. The chief aims of such a session, would of course be to regulate the levy, so that the legislators may not have to wait too far into the winter before receiving their pay. As the matter now stands, with the levy, to be made November 15, little could be realized therefrom until the last of January following. It is also rumored that the extra session will take into consideration the Morton, Bliss & Co., case, which has now been hanging by the gills for a long time. So long that the people of all parties have very properly concluded that their taxes arc not to be increased on the account of the bonds held by any ring connected with this matter. It is thought, that should the extra sessions of the general assembly convene, before the time that the tax levy has to be made?now by law Nov loth the supreme court may let their decision linger along in expectancy of some relief from responsibility by legislature action. Very certain it is that an elephant is on hand. It is quite a sure assertion that upon the adjournment of the supreme Court, last term, it was agreed upon by the .justices, that each should write out his views upon the case in extenso, and that these should be comI pared at some subsequent meeting. That meeting has been recently held, and the public are none the wiser for it, except in vague hints that they need not i expect a decision for some time to come, i "Tybee. " Personal.?We were glad to see in our office on Sunday last, Mr. J. G. Thompson, editor of the Beaufort Times, in company with Col. James P. Low, one of the Assignees of the Blue Ridge Railroad, who are on an expectant pleasure trip to Caesar's Head, Abbeville, ?&c., and we hope their high est anticipations of delight may be realized?Greenville Republican. Now this is what might be termed rough. James G. Thompson Esq., while cavorting around Ccesar's Head, after health and other game to be credited with being the Editor of the Beaufort Times. We do not presume to say during his absence who it is rough on, but we do protest against Mrs. Whip^er being robbed of the glory of editing that late welcome sheet now known as the Barnwell Times. It may be owing to the superiority of the Apple Jack that is distilled in the Mountains, and possibly one of the editors up there has become confused under its effects. And now the next we shall hear is that he is editor of the Standard but it would certainly require very poor whiskey and a great deal of it to admit himself as the repiesentative of that sheet. Since writing the above we see that John R. Thompson, a man claiming to be editor of the Beaufort Republican is in Abbeville. We arc now satisfied it is the effect of apple jack and presume if he returns to Beaufort before the effects entirely wear off, he will be insane enough to go to Bay Point for his health and pleasure. The following letter has been received by a resident of Beaufort. It decides the questions of rents applying 011 interest due on deferred payments. Treasury Department, Office internal revenue Washington, Aug. 20, 1873 Sir: In reply to your letter of 12th inst., I have to say that applicants fur redemption of lands, who were purehas ers under army and navy certificates, are only entitled to such redemption under the provisions of the the act of .Tunc 8, 1872; sec section 5. The provisions of that act recpiirc that ten per cent interest shall be collected on all charges against said land "from the time they accrued and were payable;" see section 1; no piovision u contained in said act authorizing the deduction of rent received from the amount of interest accrued, and therefore no such claim can be considered. Very Respectfully, B. J. Sweet, Acting Com. Arrived at l'ort Royal. The ship Lady Dvfi'erin arrived at the wharf in Port Royal Thursday night direct from Liverpool, which port .-lie left June 2*th. She brings a miscellaneous cnriro of o!cvci? hundred tons nt freight for the cities of Augusta nnd Savannah. This is the second trip that the Lady Duffcrin has made from Liverpool to Port Royal. The captain reports thirty feet of water on the bar. There is a great necessity for a cotton press for compressing cotton for foreign shipments at Port Royal. The captain of the Lady Duffcrin regrets not finding cotton presses, which he says would enable him to take his cargo of cotton at a cost of five hundred pounds sterling less, to say nothing of the expense of twenty or thirty days delay. The hotly Duffcrin. has 1,000 tons of ties on board?5UU for Messrs. Warren, Wallace & Co., of Augusta, and 500 for merchants in Savannah. The vessel was consigned to the order of the abovenamed firm, at Port Royal harbor. .This is direct trate in earnest, a beginning of what is to be done in the future.?Augusta Chronicle. wsamma?awi nrwKng. n THE SOUTHERN ROAD AND ITS SOUTHERN CONNECTIONS. [ From the Cincinnati Gazette. ] 'The great public are beginning to doubt whether the "southern road" will ever be made. Whether there is any ground for this doubt or not, certain it is. those who are most interested in it have become very impatient, and begin to doubt the earnestness of those engaged in it. In the meanwhile, 6very day and every fact is demonstrating what Cincinnati, has lost, and is losing, by this delay. The S mthern people who have any power in controlling trade arc turning their efforts in the direction of .St. Louis. The Georgia & South Carolina roads are making continuous connections with the Nashville and North-western lines. Already St. Louis competes successfully with Cincinnati in the South Atlantic markets ; which is on? reason why St. Louis has outrun Chicago. St. Louis has, and is getting, more of a market in the south which does not naturally belong to her. To see this, and know what delay is working, makes a friend of Cincinnati im? *A ~mnrnhonfu onrl pil111'lib j UUU J IL IUC UiUiV'iiuuiig uuu manufacturers knew it as well, they would be more impatient. To the Southern Atlantic markets the road fVom Cincinnati to Chattanooga direct cuts off one hundred and fifty miles of distance 1 To save thar, what would not Boston and New York give? They would pay more than a hundred million of dollars to save that distance going to the Central South, for it would give them command of the whole market. The Pennsylvania company haye made a new road from Charlotte to Atlanta to save one third that distance in their southern route to Texas. Another point of great importance to the Southern, road, if it be is its southern connections when it shall arrive at Chattanooga. Railroad men now know, by long experience, that a road of any magnitude must command its termini in some form, not necessarily by owning the whole line, or even by leases, but by some friendly relations by which a continuous line may be operated as a whole with, one set of interests. This is the way by which the Pennsylvania Company has managed to control the grandest lines of railroad In this country. The " Southern road," made by the city of Cincinanti, cannot directly buy or lease other roads, but it can and must establish friendly relations with those whose interests are, in the main, the same with their own. On this subject we find some information in the Beaufort Republican, which may be of much interest to the 44 Southern Road. Arriving at Chattano g the l4Soulhem road" finds its connections through Southern Alabama and Miss., by means of the Alabama road to VTaridnn on/1 Wnw flrlonnft' This ruad I iUVi IUV U UUV4 AY V M ~ ? has been in all manner of difficulties, ; but will probably be eventually valuable. But looking south from Chatta: nooga, there arc three harbors on the coast which command all the ocean trade of the South Atlantic, These are Charleston, Port Royal, and Sa: vanuah being old places, and having all the shipping interests, have hereto, fore enjoyed all the ocen trade. But circumstances which will be of momen tous interest in the future are indica; ting a great change in this particular. The Port Itoyal Railroad, from Augusta to Port Royal has been made, and is a very complete, well made road. This is a direct straight continuation of the Georgia Railroad, from Atlanta. If then, we suppose ourselves starling from Cincinnati, on the ''Southern road "(which we will imagine is made) we shall move on in almost a straight line through Chattanooga, Atlanta, Augusta, to Port Royal, if we choose to go so far. In that case the manufac turcs and the produce of Cincinnati will be sold at way stations on the road to the ocean, where they can be shipped to the West Indies ; and with that trade St. Louis cannot interfere. But to the right of this line and to the left of it lie the old ports of Charles: ton and Savannah, aud they must be outlets of Cincinnati also; and now wc conic to the facts stated in the Bcaufoit Republican. Between C'l arleslon and Savannah there is a direct line of railroad of great importance, connecting those cities, and havink a large business. The Republican says that the Georgia road, wluch already has an interest in tne Savannah & Charleston road, in order to avoid any dependence on the roads from Augusta to Charleston and Savannah. In one word, this is another important railroad combination by which the Georgia, the Port Royal, and the Charleston & Savannah roads will be operated together in the same interest. The result is. then, that the cars on the "Southern road" can go to either Charleston. Port Royal, or Savannah without any new road, without any interference of interests, and he the first in the field to meet the growing commerce of Port Royal and the West In.lia trade. As the matter now stands, the flour, cheese, and manufactures of Ohio and Indiana arc carried to New York, and from New York shipped to the West Indies; whereas, by the South un ron 1 they will ho shipped from Mobile, or Port It oval, or New Orleans, as the shipp'r | r fers. Some of <jur readers may think this is a far lookout. Rut it is no further lookout than if was to talk' of the settlement of Cincinnati, Chicago, I and St. Louis. Tne railroad and the telegraph are bringing the who'c world together, and it is important we should have n far lookout. If the "Southern road" he male, its Southern connections are of vast importance. When the Southern road reaches Chattanooga, and that and its connections are run as the Northern roads are, Port Royal will he ttx) miles nearer Cincinnati than it is today, and thousands of Cincinnati people will visit the Southern shores, and winter among the orange groves of Florida. Another fact is of importance, and that is that the materials for the growth of Port Royal are now likely to he furnish* cd, if they are, then that place will as certainly prow as did Cleveland or To'cdo. These materials are. first, coal (that all important clement of power and growth) next cotton freight, and then this Western trade. Wc leant from the Beaufort Republican that the two former are likely to be supplied abundantly. Port Royal already has a line of packets to Hasten rn ports, but. seeing tnat this is the best port between Norfolk and Mexico. it ought to have, and it will have, lines of steamships to Europe. The chief difficulty is that steamships consume a great deal of coal, and that must be had at reasonable rates. The difference between coal at $10 per ton and coal at $3 per ton is a fatal difference, if it happens to bo against you: and that is the ease in a larpe part of the South Atlantic States. But (and "but" is an important word in commerce, as well as in all things), the coal fielJs of Central United States run down into the Centra! South. The great coal field touches Northwest Georgia, and goes into Central Alabama, The Georgia .Railroad being interested in the matter, have undertaken to btingeonl to Port Royal for 85,50 per ton and that will | insure a steamship line to Europe, and with that will insure an immense export of cotton from Georgia and South Carolina. Then, if the "Southern road" it made, you will see a new grand channel of trade which is not set down in your philosophy, Horatio! And must we doubt whether the "Southern road" is to be n ade; whether Cincinnati will ever wake up? Can not Cincinnati realize wlwt the world is doing? Shall St. Louis come up to its very door and take the bread from its children? i E. D. M. THE RAILROAD MEETING AT ABBEVILLE. The Railroad meeting on Wednesday hist was well attended by our citizens generally, and a good representation of delegates Irotu the various counties were present. All evinced a deep interest in the building of this road, and we believe from the tone of those present, that our whole people will be ready to contribute material aid at. the proper time. A good portion of the time of the convention was occupied in the discussion of the best route for the road below Abbeville. The Anderson, Pickens, and a ?.j-- a 1.1?:n_ poruuil UI U1U AUUUVHIC UUlt'KdiUMio thought best to run the ropd by i)orn's Mine, thence to Augusta, while the delegation from Edgefield, Barnwell Aiken and Beaufort, contended that the best route was through Edgefield, Barnwell, and Aiken to Allendale on the Port lioyal Railroad. Finally the question of location was left unsettled, with the under standing that the route contributing the lurgest amount of money in proportion to distance should have the rond. Mr. S. C. Millett, the exSuperintendent and builder of the Fort Royal ltajlroad, estimates that the cost of a Railroad through this county will be about $28,500 per utile when equipped with rolling stock ready for business. Of this amount $15,000 per utile" will be spent tor labor and material in constructing the road and its depots along the route. Iu addition to the value of the road may be added the enhanced value of all the lands along the route. The woodlands along the route of the Port Royal Railroad were worth from 50 eta. to $1.50 per acre before the road was built. Now such lands that are within five miles of the road arc worth from $5 to $10 per acre. We could not expect our lands to rise in the same ratio, but there is no doubt but that all lands lying within five miles of the track would be doubled in the market value. Mr. S. U. Millett, cx-suncrintcndcnt, of the Port Royal Railroad, lias kindly furnished us with a rough estimate of the cost of a railroad here, as follows: Total for equipment*, ti27.3.7G Add for road bod, A-', .3,270,300 Total coat, 8,797.056 Of this large amount of money, it is estimated that about $2,000}000 will be spent along the line. Itemized as follows: For snding .fl ,844,000 Hoad crpvdiign and entile pita 28,000 Bridges and culvert* ,21'mkij Cross-tie* isr,.soo Laying Iron _l.VI.UU0 Station houses 22,000 W ater stal ions 10,000 Tiirn-I n tile* 2,000 Section k iuhiS 1G,000 Total _S1,1170,800 It will be noticed that the above estimate was made for the road to Allendale from Anderson, 140 miles. Should the road he run to Augusta 1'roiu Anderson instead of to Allendale, the distance will he reduced to 02 miles, and the cost per mile not increased. This change of route would reduce the expense to two-thirds riF this calculation. The Autrustu nuonlo ami the I'ort Royal R. R., would likely ' aid this road if Augusta was made the terminus. If our own people will build the roadbed, we will have no trouble in issuing bonds to buy the iron and rolling stock. To the laborer, t he contractor, th incrcbant. the land-owner, and the timber-dealer, bis enterprise offers special inducements as a lnonoy-uinkinir operation, and to the stockholders a good investment is secured. Anne Eliza'.sJIMvorce Salt Lake City, Aug. 23. Judge Emerson to-day sustained the difendaut's demurrer in the ease of Anne E Young vs. Brigbam Young, for divorce agaiust the jurisdiction of the D-strict Court. The Judge held that the Probate, and not tqc Disctnct Court, had jurisdiction in the case.
