- FRIGHTFtYL MOETALITY.--By reference to
our telegraphic dispatches (savs the Savannah
iews of the 13th). it will be seen that the yel
low fever is raging in New Orleans with unpre
cedented fatality. The deaths in the city last
week reached one thousand one hundred and
thirty! nearly one thousand of which were by
yellow fever! The deaths on Sunday last num
bered two hundred and twenty-eight, of which
two hundred arid four Were by -yjow fever!!
Wh we take into consideration the fact that
a largjrtion of the population have fled from
the city, this mortality is truly frightful! There
must be much distress among the poor of the
city.
Ex .-Thom:ts Connor,a youth of less
eilan e years of age, was executed in
Baltimore on the 5th, for the m rder of Wm.
utebinsonh of Accomac, Va., i October last.
In his first fal! th6 rope broke, 'and he fell to
the ground. H6 sustined no 'inaterial injury,
and on recovering' declared his innocence of the
murder in thefirst degree. A report arising
that the Governor was in the city, a messenger
was at once despatched to icquaint him of what
had happened, in the hope that he would inter
pose executive clemency, but it was found the
Governor had left for Annapolis. The unhappy.
man begged to have the execution proceed-not
wishing to liv3. The second attempt proved
successful. Twenty thousand persons were
said to be witnesses to the sad spectacle. -
Nzw YoRx, Aug 10..
TirE passenger trains on the Amboy Rail
road came in collision yesterday afternoon.
Two cars in each train were smashed, killing
fire persons and injuring- twenty others, seven
very severely. A child of the Rev. James Pur
rian, of Mississippi, had its thigh broken. This
accident is said to have resulted freim grpss neg
ligence.
MoRE FtznERY TRo:B.Es.-Intelligence re
ceived at Washington from the fishing grounds
causes great -uneasiness.-Fifteen vessels had
sailed from Eastern ports armed, resolved to
fight if interferred with.
NARROW EscArE OF A MISSIONARY.-Rcv.
Julion A. Butler, of Boston, a missionary of the
American Board in South Ameria, had a nar
row escape from a horrible death a few months
ago. It appears that he attempted to ford the
river Umkomnzi, on horseback. tud when about
two-thirds of the way across, his horse sudden
self from his rider, and the next momntei a cro
codile seized Mr. Bitler's thigh with his horri
ble jaws. Mr. Butler, when ie felt the sharp
teeth of the crocodile, elung to the uane of his
horse with i death-hsold. Instantly le was
dragged from the saddle. and both lie and the
horse were floundering in water, often dragged
entirelv under. an'd going down the stream. At
first the crocodile drew them to the middle .f
the river; but at last, the horse gaiined shallow
water and approached the shore As soon as
he was within reach. natives ran to his assist
ance, and beat off the crocodile with spears and
clubs.
Mr. Butler was pierced with five deep gashes,
and had lost much blood. He left all his gar.
ments, except his shirt and coat, on the opposite
shore with a native who was to follow him; but.
when the struggle commenced, the native re
turned and durst not venture into the water
again. It was now dark; and, without knr
ments; and weak from the loss of blood, he had
seven miles to ride. He borrowed a blanket of
a native, and after two hours, succeeded in
reaching the station, mnore dead than alive.
1-is horse also wa terribly mangled ; a foot
squase of fieshi and skitn was torn from his
flatnks. For ten days Mr. Butler remaiined in a
dangerous condition, being seized with fever
and threatened with leekjatw, but in April, nhten
last heard from, was recoverinig.
SAD ACIF~.W regret to learn that on
Sunday night last, a patrty of eight negroes be
longing to Marti'i C. Hlackett, e-q., of Caim
bridge, on their way home from the Camp Meet
streamn, and thai four valuable negroes out of
3~.eight, consis:intg of three negro women and
.. infant, wvere immediately drownoed. The
codies of the three women had been recovered,
that of the infant hnd nuot been fojund at the
last acconnt. Five out of six fine mutes :it
tached to the wagon, were also drowned. The
creek, it appears is crossed by a substantial
bridge, wvhich was carried away by the freshet
on Sunday night, and the negroes re:tehing the
spot after dark when they could not see a step
before them. thiough t themselves upon the
bridge, unttil they wecre plunged headlong into
the stream. Mr. Hackett, is a tian universally
respected by all who knew him, and his sever~e
and unexpected loss will awaken their heartfelt
*sympathy in his behalf.-Abeville'Banner,
TaE METYODiSTS IN ENGLAND.-The Wes.
leyatn Methodists of England are engaged in
raising the- munificent stun of otne hundred
thousamnd pounds sterling for the relief of sonme
of their contnexiotnal funds, and .?60,0s) have al
ready been conitributed.
IT is stated that some of the railroad corn
panies refuse to carry the United Stattes mnails
unless the Postmaster General will pay them,
in some imiaties, a hundrAd per centt. more
than they have heretofore reaeived. The Lotig
Island Railroad Company, it is said, is one of
the strikers, and the Posttmaster General hats or
dered the mails to be sent by horse powver.
FoDDER.-We learn that sixty-three balc3 of

purchased by Mr. Keenan, at $1,25 pr. 100 lbs.
We would suggest to our. country friends, that
a good article of fodder, put up in neat packa
ges, will alvays find a ready market here, at
full prices.-Carolinian.
THE FISHERY NEGoTATIoS.-lt is alleged
that Mir. Cratmpton, the British Mlinister, in his
negotiationi with Secretary Mazrey, oin the fishe
ry question, demands that the 'United States
Government shatll repeal its bounties on codfish.
As this cannot be done ixcept by Cotngress, it
lee it. Thte correspoindent of the Republic,
from whose letter we learn the foregoing, s:ays:
"lHe also demands the issuing of Amerienn
iegisters to vessels built in the Biiish provin
ees, and asks that British vessels be admitted to
free participation in the Atlantic and P'acific
coasting trade. In return, he proposes to yie!d
'us free fisheries close in the shore; titus aibro
gating the three milo restriction to which we
subniitted by the treaty of 1818. As wve claim
as a right, sustained by inidisputable evidhence,
all that Mr. Crampton proposes to yield us, ex
cept the privilege tif fishing .within a distatnce
of three miles from the. British shore, it is not
probablie the negotiaters '.will aigree on such
terms."
THrE SCOLDING Wire.-Our-pen trembles in
our hand as we write "scoldintg-wife," for, of
all curses and torments on the face oft the earth,
this demon is surely the greatest. Her horrible

A man could lie dowvn in the swamps of Lou

and how little Eliza, being left to take care of
herself, whilst she was looking- after the ser

and lost every needle she had in' the world.
The husband anxious to mollify thie irritation,
says : " Never mind, my dear, let us have dinner;

A Very Beautiful Present.
ON Friday last, as we were sitting in a piaza and
.-ooking lazily on our dull public square, a servant
girl came up with a waiter of mtost delicious peaches
and grapes very tastefully interspersedh with rare roses
and other flowvers of the season. The skill antd beauty
of the arrangement was not exceeded by any thing we
sawv in the most elegant Northern Saloons. One peach
especially was large and-luscious above all the rest,
white all of them were as good as any epicure coutld
desire. The grapes two were full, black, juticy, and
sweet. AndI, in shtort, since our occupation of thme
chair editorial, we have never been comtphmnted with
consideration of our enterprizing and tasteful fellow
citizen, Ma. 4AMU'E. Batooas, to whom we now re
turn ouir best thanke, wishting for him at the same
time health and happiness for the balance of his days.
We omitted to make our acknaowledgements last
week to our neighbor, MAastu, for the two delightful
water melons he'gave us on our returtn from abroad.
We do so nowy however, and assuro SAMs that they
nere delightful to our palate and fully appreciated not
only by our self, but by " the wife and children " too.
Atnd so thank ye, SAM !
The Cotton Crop.
Ova planters are now estimnatng their cotton crops
at a mucha higher vatlue than they, at one period of the
summer, supposed it possible for them to reach. 'The
plant is now growing rapidly and at the sanme time
" making " as well as heart could desire. Withtout
further disaster, the crop may possibly surpass that of
last year. We mentionted last week a sitngle boll
whic~h was found open on the 2nd inst. Many htave
remarked to us since, that this was not by any meatns
ani advanced showittg, as c'n that day, in some forward
sections, opened bulls could have beet, seeni all alontg

Mr. E. W. RU-TAND, manager for Mrs. T~arrtA

one of his hands picked ottt one lAundlred and forty
pounds.--Muney is said to he alread y abuntdanat among
our people, cowing to te exceetdingly fine yield tof our

is lacking, so that all of our htorns may be filled antd

*Sweet Water'Acadeniy.
FaoMt a commutnicatton in our present number,

Sweet Water Springs, have, recently held an enthu

The Rail Road. Rumpus.
TioERE seems to be a general excitement in our State
at present upon the subject of Rail Roads. .Among
the people on the 5avannah River side 'ally,
this excitement amounts to something like a n the
piney woods, spreading and blazing and ckling
and roaring as it goes. To show the hig ch of
feeling at which gentlemen have arrived, wA I only
advert to lite fact that a very innocent at t, (per
petrated by us some time back) merely t . er the
enthusiasm that we saw arising in differen
was met with reproa'ches bordering upon denun
as being both ungenerous and absurd. Fo
offered a simple array of plain thought*, plucked f in
the writings of another, (mainly for the sak oftb
bearing upon the propriety and necessity of 'on:
and circumspection in all Rail Road enterprivs'siw6
were pounce upon by a neighboring paper as tlia
enemy of a pa.ticular route and held up'(as we havS
been recently informed,) by .an individual, atisome
meeting in the Dark Corner of Edgefield District, as
a foe to progress in.general. Now, with all due respect
for the Editor of the Hamburg Republican and for that
orator (!) whose Ph-lippics were incurred by our un
lucky 'faux pas,' we positively assert that we were
actuated by neither feeling. At the same time, we
bear no manner of spite towards either of our accusers,
seeing that they were (and for aught iwe know still are)
reeling under the influence (if a rapturous rAil road
prospect which has disabled them from viewing com
mon things in their proper. light. 4feir opinions to
the contrary notw ithstanding, we pliti. deprec'ate the
undue excitement now prevalent anng our fellow-,
citizens, and we still respectfully invoke their calm,
dispassionate jndgment on all such matters. To em
hark precipitately in large and expensive projectsi
without fully calculating all the costs and careftly
reckoning the results which may follow, is unniso on
the part of companies as well as of individuals. - If a
disregard of the suggestions of prudence on such occa
sions is -one of the elements of modern progress, then
are we in deed opposed to-it.
Let us look around for a monent and observe the
condition of the different rail road enterprises in our
section.
First there is the Greenvilli and Columbia Rail
Road just now fairly and fully in operation as far up
as Anderson Court House-a road which has cost its

prospects at the outset were daza.~.ngly bright, and
they have done all they cou3ld to realize them. But
how standi it with that company now ! Disheartened
lby the unfureseen diflicuilties they have had to conend
with, and alarmed by the unexpected development of
a competition which hid never entered their imagina
tionQ, they are ready to atiit that their situation has
become pr,:cariots in the extreme. That they will
still put forth their whole'energies to save themselves
in cone way, we do not doubt. And we hope they may
lie able to do so ot proper principles. It is enough for
our precent purpose to know that the brilltant visions
which once gilded their future have become suddenly
overcast with a cloud which immiiently threatens their
extinction. We regret it as much as any one not di
rectly implicated. Still, if well considered, itsl'ould
teach others a wholesome lesson and for this reason
alone we herd refer to it.
Turn now for a moment to the Savannah River
Rail Road project. There we find a charter obtained
and saved-plenty of capital (with the gold mine of
course) reatdy to go towards its construction-men of
itntelligence and spirit deeply initerested in its estab
lishment and sanguine of its success. We hear of
'tock-holders in the Greenville and Columbhia Rail

stockholders thought the Rouad ought to cross the.Sa
vannahi river ten miles above Auigtists. and terminate

it would be ku-pt on the Sooth Carolina side and ter
minate in H~ambuirg. True, these may prove to he no
dilfcutlties in the cend. All may come right. An ac

and cons on this last point worthy the considerationi of
all who may be interested.
the City of Charleston, and the South Carolina Rail
Road Comipany, to say nothing of a large support it
wouild receive all along its entire length. This, we
are free to say, is considered by us as the great under
taking of the day for South Carolina. Our opinion
is based upon several reasons, only otne of which we
have room here to mention, antd that very briefly.
We hold that the great object now to be attained
by us, in order to advance the prosperity, not only of
our own State, bitt of the Southern States generally,
is the fostering and builditng up of some Southern sea
poirt upon the Atlantic coast, which may become a
great matrt for otur whttle section, with the ability to
offer equzal facilities, in a commercial point of viewv,
with any city in the Union. Charleston is unqgtes
tionably thtat port, and the State of South Carolina
is, or otughat to be, deeply interested in hastening by
every prudential and politic measure the consunmma
tion of her prospierity. One principal means of doing
this is the formaution of a connecting link between the
City of Charleston and the heart of the Western Inte
rior for the purpose of inducing as large an amouitt as
possible of the rich produce of that abundant coiuntry.
Ini this effort we are thrown into competition with
other cities, North of us, who are moving heaven and
earth to reap the whole advanttages of that magnificent
trade. Now, thae usingle question is, whether or not we
are, in a struggle like this, to seek for the most direct,
the clieapest, the most permanent, the safest and the
most econtomical route between the two points, de
sired to be connected. If we are, then the dispute
shouldl terminate in a general agreement'to build the
road from Aiken to the Rabun Gap forthawith. But if
it can he shown that this great object will be more
completely achieved by going out of the direct way,
which nature herself htas almost prepared, to accom
modate a small strip of coutatry and to pick up some
thirty or forty thousand bags of cotton, when to do so
involves a considerable increase of distance, a vast in-1
crease of expense, a descent from the grade attained
at Aiketn of over two hundred feet and a more curved
arid dangerous ruoute altogether--if this, we say, he
judgmenut, wisdom, prudence, economy, or any mem
ber of that august family, whly tlhen let the rails he
laid along the.Savannah river, even down to the town
of Hamburg, S. C.
We are inuformued that this Inst road will positively
be built, arid so it may be. It is thought too that it
will result iut nmterially benefittmng Augusta and Ham
,urg. We hope it may. It is a very desirable thing
our us in Eligeield to have near at hnd, two flou
rishiing tmarkets for our produce. c
At the same time this advantage to the particuarr t
ntteresuts o-f or District does nor prevent us from fore- e

It was truly a noble spetple, to see the youtng

evince more forcibly the progress of that region, in
improvenment, and their eeneroums zeal to rival, in
initellig. nee, the other portions of the District of
Edgelield.
The children too manifested an earnestness and
emulation, wvhich betokened their future useful ness
and distinetioi ; and I mnyibe permitted the re
maark, in this connection, thait I never beheld, in aniy

The Speaker traced in empiatic language, the
rapid improvement of Edgefield for the last fifteen
years, and felt himself fully justified in ascribing it
altogelter to the influence of the preacher and the
Schoolmaster-to tl Schoolnaster, that benefactor
of the human races whoc employment is often
dontemnedi y the - tmt, and eveh in thistonn

the h',ghest and most honorable professions.

of men and women, to w% hose judgments he ap

JOTIN PROGRESS.
FOR THE ADVERTISER.
NEW SCHOOL.
MAR. EDIToR,-Edgefield District, at least, seems
to be u aking up to the importmnee of having good
Schools. Our village Atcademics, though in their
infancy, are in a very flattering condition. Bethany
is still flourishing; so is Woodville, which was es
tablished only last year; and other Schools are
growing up atmong ts. But without being invidious,
it may safdly be said, that the first movement in the
right direction to form a large, permanent and
r.nlly good Academy in Edgefield is now being
mnade b'y the neighborhood of Sweet-Water Church.
where a Pick Nick was given on the 10th inst.,to
pronote the establishment of the Academy. It
was estimated that between twe!ve and fifteen
hundred persons were present. Capt. A. J. HAMt
MOND was 11e orator of the day and he discharged
his duty ably. lle did not flatter has audience or
the District of Edgefield, in regard to the present
addiess, that did him great creait. 1, ae fur
perhaps half an hour in a truly eloquent manner.
This meeting on the 10th inst. was an adjourned
one, to which the Committ'ee appointed tat a previous
mtaeting, omiade a Report as to the m1tost eligble. site
for at Academy atnd the best method of raising
funds for establishing it. The Report was read by
t'C Chatirat 'of tle Comamittee, Capt. RoBER-r
aaIERRwETHIEat, who, as the writer understanals,
dest-rves much praise for the active part ie has
taken to secure the success of the undertaking.
The plan of -the Rxeport in to select a locality on Mr
.oEL CURRY'S land, near Sweet Water Chureb,
and to raise a fund of $50,000 by subscription in
shares. But the Report suggests that so soan as
$25.00 shall be subscribed, that the coampany of
stockha 1.1. rs orga'nise themiselves, by electing a
Priddent, four I irectiars, Secretary anad Tretasturer,

Before closintg, it mighat be asked, whay do not our
eople forat other educational villages. Unttilthtey
to, it is foly to htope thiat we ecan ever have good
shools. Edgefield District conataints about 1700
quare m;les, and has a white population spread
iver it in roaund numtbers of 17,000. N~ow accord
g to the Prussiana method of estimaatiaag thte num
,r of Schaool chai~drent in a counatry, our district
aght to hanve one good School for every thousattd
hite inhlabitants, and consequently thtere should
a fiane Acadlemy in the centre, air near there, of
v tettnamiles square. The Prussians say that
hird -of a commnunit.y are chdreir, and-thtat
of this thmird are over 7 and under 14 yettrs of
or in othter words, thaat they ate capable of
ding Schtool. If we take thais as our guide,
rthousand inhlabitants furnishes 166 scholltars
'r aoth sexes, or 83 of either sex, and therefore
htey ecan have a good male or female School, or
oth. If patrents' and neighabors would combine
leir effoarts and nmeans, they might educate their
hildren at htome or nearly so, by living in otto of
ese educational villages, or near it, or at least not
Sdistant but that their children might ride to
elool, or come home on Friday e:entiug. Thtus
ome influence would be felt' in foiraning the child's
riniples and manners. A methter's tender catre
ndl .a fathter's wvatchful surveillance of the morals
h:s chtilad would not be lost. Board mighat be
ad neh cheaper thata at the Court House. Tui
ot would be less dear, and the facilities for dissi
otion would'be fewer at one of thtese Educational
yuntry villages. Moreover, thu example of ex
avaganat dress wvould be wanting in a village where1
of wealth. I do not underrate our Schools at the C
Court Hoose. They are flourishing and I rejoice 1i
at it. Children ought perhaps to "graduate" as
they say, from home. Let youig Hopeful and V
Miss Fanny finish .ibeie education iat the District .4
or State Capitol. But early impressions me most
l.:sting and they should be received at home. A
boy ought not to be sent abroad where there are
" None to check and few to.point in lime,
The thousand paths that slope the way to rime."

SAVANNAH BIER RAT.ROAD.
Ma. Eurroa,-The whole wor:d- is moving.
Europe is in commotion.- Russia is idvancing upon
Turkey. Australia is ep'iiting to sei from
England. Christian ad ,iili*ation are attack
ing China. ltepuilicmsns and- "donimree arel
silently, but actively .unbinding -the galling chain
of King craft and Priesteraft apd all the other
fetters, iv'hich have heretofore kept the. nations of
the earth from pursuing their proper destity. In.
short, the world is developing itself and commerce,
utilitarianism, materalism, -or whatever ytu may
choose to call.it, is the cause of all this' - The pre
sent unnatural stimulus to progress and develop
ment in niind and matter is attributable very much,
to the Steam Engine and the- example of America
as regards government. Next to the introduction
of sound currency and uniform weights and mea
sures, the formation of good roads and bridges are
said by all economists to give greater facilities to
commerce, and to contribute more powerfully to
progrevs and improvement than any thing else.
No man or neighborhood has any use whatever for
aurplusa products, nor can any one man, or country
produce all, or even half of the articles that he or
they may need. The surplus cotton of the South
would be entirely worthless to the slave holder and
his surplus ice would be of the same value to the
Yankee, uuless such superfluities could be exchang
ed. Man must be social. Nature, race, so:1, eli
mate, government, in truth God has so ordained it,
and hence whatever surplus products we may have,
whether of agriculture, of manufactures, of mines.
of the forest, of the sea or what not, we must ex
change them to make them at all useful. And to
exchange 1them we must transport them, which
cannot be done except. by .gspd.roads. It matter.
not whether these roads are on water or on land.
Whether the speed and power of transportation
along them, is regulated by pedlars, horses, canals,
paddles, si's or steamu Engincs. they are but roads
sti!l. A canal is only an artificial road, and the
ocean itself is a public highway. The deck of
every vessel, as it ploughs the deep, is as sacred as
the soil of the country to whelh such vessel be
long4. Pro-luetion, transportation and exchange
then are the three great prerequisites for the pro
gress and developenent of any country. Of the
three, tramnportation is decidedly the most impor
tant. It is an easy matter to produce and easier
still to exchange, but under many circumstaneces
and in many localities, it is a very hard and expLn
sive task to transport. We Americans are well
aware of this, and our unparalled pro'gress is
wealth, populaton, and general prosperity may 4e
attributed to our facilities for transrortation more
than to any thing else. We even now have more
miles of railwtty than all the rest of the world, and
yet we have quite as much projected and buildiag
as we have in operation. South Carol.ina, when
the seiece of Railways was in its inafancy, took the
lead of the world for a time. in preparintg the trasck
f..r the Iron horse, but she was compelled to desist
front the noble enterprise on account 'of thei finan
cial distresses oif the country in~ 1836 andi '37.
Sinice that time her -more tardy anad cautious sisters,
proiitng by her bitter experience, have dashed on
eaigher far behsind. But th am t tt
absout ten years ago;and thanks to cotton, to the
getneral peace of te world, to' the gold of Califotniat
and Australia, our glorious little State is up and
doing once more. She may now exclaim " IRichardl
is hsiunself againt !"' The pansic is gonie, andi Rail
ro~ads are at this mouitent running to half thme Court
Houses in the State. Say Newberry, Laurens.
Abbeville, Antderson, - Greetsville, Spartanburg,
Unionville, ~Winnsboro', Chsestervil!e, Yo~rkville.
Camden, Sttmterville, Marion and Orangeburg.
Various new routs are being projected and somte
are atually builditng. So that perhnps ten years
tmore wvill hear the piercing neigh of the war hsorse
that conquetn timec at every country scat ins Somth
Carolina, except perhasps, two or three in the at -
dy, marshy and .unhealthy districts below. But
even Coosawhatchsic and Walterboro, arc strtug
gling hard for a roatd from Charleston to Savannah
with some prospect of success. South Carol~na is
at present intersected by six great lutes of Rlailway
that extend from Charleston, in various directions,
nearly to the borders of the State, or quite beyond
them. Thought all this is true, yet the Savannah
River Road will al.so be built. No one can doubt
it, who will pass along thre line of the proposed
road. The route is favorable, the people are wealthy
antd never in my live., have I seen so mtuech enthu
siam manifested ins any undertaking of a commner
eial ebtaracter. I was present at Rocky Pond ott
Tuesday last, where a Biarbaeue was given to pro
sflrte the builiig nr this roi~, and $45;000 stock
were taken, whens the ntost sanguine did not expect
to get ever $20,000O. The people of the Dark
Corner seem to have caught the Georgia feeling of
wvorking more antd talkintg less, or rather they are
resolved to build the road any how, and pay for it
as ihe'y can. *Capt. ANDaEW IAMdoMtD and Jos
AIaNEY, Esq., addressed the meeting at liocky
Pond, and both acquitted thtcmselves handsomely.
Mr. Aassy among many other arguments said thtat
the l'ad construction, circuitous route and danger- I
ous location of the Greenville and Columbia Rail
road would forever prevent its being able to com-t
pete successfully with the Savannah River Road.
Mlr. HIAxtSoYD was copicus in Ihis statisties, as to S
the cost, protits. and nu~mber of miles.of railway in,
each State and section of the Union. lHe appealed
eloquently to the interest, patriotism and good sense
of Isis .audience, to subscribe liberally, Hiesaid
that as good as the charter shall be secured, Charles
tots, A ugusta and Savannah, will each and all comet
ith bended kn~eesr and offers of large subscriptions
to aid in the project. That we preferred Charleston
and Hamburg, or rather our own State and peop~e,
rovided they would do thseir duty, but that the
friends of this Road,.rather than fail, will throw
hemselves into thie arms of A ugusta and Savannah, p
y crossing the River at Fury's Ferry,' or near si
Col. B3AUSr.-r-'s plantation. The charter, as I ti
earn, is a]:ecady secured, and thtis contpany which
tarted but the other day, which has been the ob-- tl
eetlirst of ridiette-tt tiwft ,itulibration, will
son be organised and will hmve.the vitality and the P
lesh and muscle of a living, .moving, active mam
noth corporation. The "right of way" will be
heerfully given by nearly every free h. Ider
hrough whose land the road will paes. This will be
n immense saving of itself. The prime cost of
ailroads in Enghanid is on the average $177,000
er mile, and it is $25i4,00J0 in France, mostly on
acount of the difliculty of getting the right of
ay where populastion is dese and lsnd is dear.1
he scarcity and -consequent high price of mate- .i
ials for superstructure, depots, bridges &e., also ini
uiter into the account. The same may ho said in
aless degree of Railroads at the North, where 0
ey cost about $44,000 per mile. But at the
outh, even whei-e labor is so much dearer than
it the North or in Europe, Railroads are built for -
15,000 per mile, and such is the estimated cost of
le Savanstah River Road. It is to' be hoped that
~hnrleston and the Legislature will keep the Roiad
is side of the River. It would -be a sad fate that ma
