Such is true of all Railroads. Unlike a far-off- discovery in -science and tpliilosophy,-the ultimate-practical uses of *which are matter of mere vague specula 'tion; ir uses are-manifest to all who will loo ut for a moment Every one must see, feel and acknowl edge their utility and importance. Oppo sition is no evidence to the contrary. Envy, jealousy. ignorance,any one or all combined may beget opposition. There isno good cause or good men without en emies. The. amiable, and noble Columbus, met with opposition and persecution, from those who, ought to have sustained 'in -and he -ultimately suffered imprison ment in chains and fetters. Did his op position arise from his being engaged in an unimportant euterprize ? Let us con 'aider our country-her sovereignty and independence-her laws and institutions -hcr religion and happiness-her wealth and beauty,-her greatness and glory, "-oving onward and onward, with itmpe tiatsway, to still higher degrees of politi al-social, and religious enjoyment-and ihen'let Us answer what does opposition prove.? It proves-the existence of a vile spirit of envy, and selfishness in the world, whose delight is to oppose all goodness, in others-and capable of leading to a cruel 'death a Being of all grace and excellency. Soh is the result of our observation, tend such is the lesson of history. This is ;an enterprize, that should be sustained by 'every consideration, of a high minded patriotism-of a 'vise and comprehensive policy-and of a well timed and well di rected liberality, and yet we are beset with opposition-so .unjust-illiberal, and un reasonable, as to be suited only to a 'darker, age and a people given over to entire reprobation of mind. Year after yearewe have hauled our produce to lam -burg,'through -mud and water, sleet and . sneV, and- have been in the meanighile contented to remain as "hewers of wood r and drawers of water" to promote her pros perity and aggrandizement. But now new and other means of transportation, more certain and expeditious. have been adopted by all civilized countries;-and through ..lietn, other Towns, Villages, Cities, and countries have been made prosperous and wealthy. We who boast of our refinement. and literature-our public spirit and patri otism-our honorand high-toned feeling,are contented to sink down in shameful apathy, in regard jV iis great matter, while other countries-aid other people are'reaping the rich reward, which nature has placed within'olit own ieach. A railroad from AikenigQ. gefield is destined to become a link in igreat chain, which in the course of time, will reach to the far-distant West -Ibr the good not of few-but millions of human- beings. Let-us awake up-let us use our natural advantages in building out road. Like Columbia we wotild become the terminus of the road for many years-and like her we would give a junction to the upper Districts whenever they become. proposed and ready to receive- it. For the present however, [ think it advisable to follow our charter, and build a distinct atid seperate road frdm Aiken to Edgefield. w - OBSERVE R. '- For the Advertiser. DzEAvo*'SPKIso, N. C. -23d A ugust, 1847. By passing throtugh port ions of lie Dis itsbf Edgefield. Albbeaville, Laurens and p~artanburg, and meeting at several wa taring pfates, gentleznen from almost all the Gotton growing Districts in the State. I have enjofed favorable advantages of formg something like a correct opinion of the growing crop in this State for the present year, mopre correct perhaps thtan the statements furnished by the public -press, which have been heretofore from partictilartlocalities only. I have collect ed all the information in my reach both by Lpersonal observations and communications ~rom others. I have carefully compared -n ol9e, and have cometto the following ult, i e use of wshiclh I cheerfully sub mit tosyour disposal, if you think, it can fibrd any interest to the readers of your paper. it is-the general opinion that about one-fifth more land has beenr, planted in cottoijin our State the present than the past year. The same ratio may prevail in all probability throughout the Cottotn producing States, as the last year was distinguished for the abundant supply of -.grain and-: provisions of all kinds- To counterbalance this iucrease in the number of acres -planted, it is confidently believed, that-ihe deficiencv in the stand, occasioned - either by 'not coi'ing up, or lby the depre -.dati6otfo insects, and various injuries by cold" weather and rain, amounts to rt least one-fourth or fifth. Let us alien sup pose that onus-fifth more laand has been planted-, anid the deficiency in the stanud to be one-four.th or -fifth, it will reduce the present crop to an approximating equality in the quantity of land with the past year, ~*Now compare the present crop with that of last year at this time, and I thinik it will be readily admaitted that the former was more promising in every point of view and considerably in advance of this in maturi ty. The genlemnen with whom I have conversed, with a few exceptions, repre sent their cotton as being from two to three weeks more backward than it was the past year. in ifact, the general complaint is. that the cotton is late, anal that the exes sive rains-have forced the tvced into a most luiriant growrh, without correspoand ing limbs~, blooms and. forms, which has injuriously retarded the natural fructifica tion of the plant. Very few gentlemen make a favorable report of '.heir crops5, - and those few-aro enabled to do so fromt -the fact, that their lands are peculiarly -red a'nd yellow land, having jus'. such a . portion of sand as is compatible with the requisit's tenacity, and at 'the samne time, -adapited to its preservatiotn ini a pores and friabl'ete'ndition, the cot ton is ropreseuted to bdefugood size, and the prospect of-a fair yieldror product, to he promisiug. Miy Sown-oiservation confirms this stateament. Whereas/lon the-cold postoak & blackjack landywhereitho soil is tenacious anid reten t ive-sfa rorthe -cotton is- inferior and greaisniding-Ta these causes of a de ficient crop, maybe added another equally injurious in its etfiects on production, the want of ability on the part of a planter to give the necessary cultivation to his fields, in consequence of the wet condition of the land, during the greater part of the spring and summer. Ihave heard of entire fields of cotton in the districts of Fairfield, Ches ter, and Lancaster, being abandoned to the grass, on account of their hopeless condi tion. Now to judge from the various state ments in the newspapers of the anticipated production of the growing crops in all the Southwestern States, and assumiug the statements here made, in reference to our own, to be correct data upon which to pre dicate an opinion, in regard to the extent of the present cro', I think it may be set down as not exceeding in iuautity that of last year. The same causes of injury to the crops in this State have prevailed in Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and in portions of Louisiana and Florida, and threaten to reduce the product there to something like the same ratio here. I think, therefore, that it may be safely pre dicted, that the entire crop of this, will not exceed that of last year, even if it .hould escape that dreadful scourge, the caterpil lar, which has already commenced its ra vages in several States. With regard to price this winter, I venture nodefintie opi nion, and yet, to take all the elements into the calculation, which usually operate to establish the price, I am persuaded. that I should approximate the truth, in conjectur ing that cotton will range from 12J to 15c. per pound. The Corn crop will be abun dant over the entire State, and in some sections even redundant. The Oat and Rye crops are very good, and the 'Wheat crops perhaps a shade below the usual average. Such is a faithful picture in prospect of tle condition of the State for the present year. exhibiting an abundant barvest of all the articles of consumption in the way of grain, necessary to man's wants or comforts, and a crop of cotton although not large,promising, amply to re ward his labor by the enhanced price of the commodity. Yours, &c. G. W. B. "Nursing his Wrath to keep it War." Th3 Louisville Journal oflthe 17th, alluding to a report that Col. Benton had written to Washington, demanding a Court Mar tial for the vindication of his son-in-law, Col. Fremont, and the punishment of his adversaries in his late troubles in Califor nia, adds:. "it is certain that Mr. Benton is prepar ing himself for a terrific attack upon the Administration next winter in the Senate Chamber. At a town iri the interior of Kentucky, a fev days ago, he goat into a couversation upon the subject of the Mex ican war. and became immensely excited, perfectly infuriated. He said that an op portunity had been passed by of making an advantageous and honorable peace, and, that he could show the fact and would show it. As for the whole manacemen of the war, he averred that it had been utterly disgraceful. He stated that he should go to Washington, and make one speech tipon the subject, only one and thit it would be the greatest speech of his life, and he was willing that it should be the last. In speaking of the Administra:ion, his language barely, if at all, fell short of downright cursing- His wrathful decla matio~n lasted a full houtr." (PERi THE CAMtBRIA.)
