SALUDA. ' For 7 Advertiser. Mr. EDITOR-I noticed with much pleasute a communication in your paper a few days since signed ' Safely Valve," upon.the subject of the contemplated Rail Road.'froha Aiken to this .place, and have looked in vaio.for some demonstration frdm.thosq of ourcitizens whose duty it may~he to open .hooks for subscription to the capital'stoek.of the road. Is there no one man in this ccinimnnity, whose business it is, or:whdissuliciently interested in this mat ter. to make known some time and pice, when and where the books may lie iopeped.? We know not what we can do until \ye:have wade an effort,.and ascertain whpat ach'mn is wil ling to subscribe towards the. conitruction of the road. The period .has now arried when this can, and .ought to lie dove; and 4hsll we sit down, withaut gnaking az single sf'ort I Without even notifying the citizens ofthc iis trict, or auch of them as are willing: to take stock in the.road, where they can-have an op portunity of..ecording their reatnes? Let us ronse up from this state u(apathy and indifa'r ence. While iiur,fellow ciizens in other parts of the S.tpte are xperting themselves to the ut most in .the accomplishment of their designs, we sit down quietly with the sceptre within our reach, and allow it to pass into the hands ofthers. Is this becoming to a wealthy and enterprising people? Is it vhatmought to be permitted by the c-tizetns of Edgefield 1 Is it in accordance with the spirit of the age in which we live ?-to say nothing of the benefits which must and will accrue to the village and district by the construction of this road? It is to be hoped that some of our leadipg men wil! take this matter in hand, and prese cute it with vigor and perseverance. We want a captain-a new general. It is not ne cessary he should be a liutenant general, any one will do, who is possessed of courage enough to "go-ahead." We have talked enough about the matter. What we want now is action. It affords me pleasure to say, Mr. Editor, that one of our -mostyvealthy and respectable citi zeunbas~said;tht-htwill.be one ofJve men to build the road.,..Is thlerenotfour mre such in old Edgefield?

There will be ahout 7,000 Regulars and 4,000 to 500.olunteers in the campaign, with.Capt.
