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.

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

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

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

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

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:

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.
