* * * Let it be remembered that Colum
bia, Anderson and the Greenville Railroad, unite
in insisting upon three things.
L That the Blue Ridge Road shall fix. its
eastern terminus at Anderson.
2; That. Charleston shall not have a shorter
or moreldireet connection with the Blue Ridge
Road than-that affbrded by the G;eenville Rail
road.
3 That thetraffie destiied for Charleston
shall pasetli-ongh Columbia.
And thesuggestion that the policy of the
State, the eilightenment of the age, the compe
tition of siniigr Roads .ioneighboring States,

agniiultorc and--commerce to be brought into

of other .seports -.that these gr consideria
tions all dempand that this gieat Irroud shail
be made as shor't iand-as straight:as possible, is
stigmatised as the plots. and machnations of
monopolists. This is the view taken of this great
public eition by the interests ve have referr
ea to. And ,now' let as examine into. the char
acter of the Savannah River Valley Railroad, and
in what aspect it-is regardod by those who thus
denoanbe Charleston and the Biuo Ridge Com
pany.

A teion miles nearer. It would be a waste

Su -h e of Columbia.
Let -us examine now its bearingr upon the
'Gi-ee-nville Road. We do not yet know the ex
act distances involved, but Charleston will cer.
- tainly be from..fifteen to twenty miles nearer
.Anderson by the Savannah River Valley Road
than by the Greenville Road. This, thmi, is de
- isive of all the trade from the West whose ul
timate destiation shall be Charleston; the
Greenlle Road will get none of tht. Let u
um up all its effects. -Columbia will not ce
the transit through the town, of the Charlesto
trade. The rival towns of Augusta and Savan.
nah will be furnished with a better cunneelion
with the Blue Ridge Road than Charleston
not only depriving Columbia of the .speetae io
trains passing through the town, but. despoihing
Charleston'- and' the State of so much of the
Western tradeltobiher with all of its direct and
incid'ental-.advantages.' Columbia will lose r
Targe part of its domestic tadh with the interioi
transferring it to the cit'- of Augustau.
The merehants of thme latter place, will supply
;Anderson, Pendleton, and Greenville, -umd at

Greenville Railroad, and thrill -with patriotic
horror the good people gfAnderson. How hav
these intereste conducted thiemnseles in thi
emergency ? Have they "isouinded tihe toe-it
and-rid the 1angof oppbsition ?'' Far, very
from this. The Greenville Railroad and the
Coluinbia -South. Carolinian are silent: : Tht
pecople' of Anderson are actually engag'ed in ma.
king apeeches thirough the e'onntry, in support ol
the Savainnah River. 'hley Railroad, and.-havei
*- even subscribed a very laurge sum in aid of the
enterprise. To this subscription they have af
fixed a condition. WVhat is it ? That the Rail.
road shall come to Anderson. They insist. (and
-Columbia and the Greenville 'Railroamd unite in
support of the measure) they- insist that the
Blue Ridge Road shall fi its eastern terminus
at Anddrson, and that the Savannah River Va'l
l ev Road shall g.o there and mneet it. Had they
*'een dictating terms for Augusta and Savannah
*they could have done no more. Hand the. Green

have done mord.

Anderson by way of Abbeville C. H. and Edge
field C4HWte'Aiken.- How will this comport|
~ ith thiieinterests of Anderson, Columbi, and
the Greenville -Railroad? We have shown what
will resnlt, from the construetion of the Savannah
R4ver.Valley Railroad. This cannot be half as
bad for eitber of these interests. The trade of
Columbia with the interior region tributary to
the Greenville Road will remain undisturbed.
Nearly all the local traffic on this Road will con
tine unmolested. Hamburg and Augusta will
not be brought nearer to Anderson and as near
to Greenville as Columbia, causing the loss of
trade to one and traffic to the other. Columbia
will receive all the goods intended for distribu..
tion in- the Middle Districts, coming by the Blue
Ridge, and the Greenville Railroad will get the
transportation. What is destined for Charleston
and the Atlantic ocean will take the straight
road to Aiken. It has been suggested that a
compromise might be effected. That the Blue
dgm. RailProad should om t OOAtid eror then
give the Greenville Railroad abot 40 miles of
transportation. on their Road from the Blue
Ridge business.- Grant that' this was possible,
what would.GoluInbia or the Greenville Raji
road gain by it? All the business from the west
destined for lhejeaboard would of course tak6
the"96 branch, and not pass -through Columbia.
All the business of Greenville, and the whole
region around having the same destination, mid
-that now passes through Coluombia, would .take
the same course. The Greefaville Ratlroad would
-sain 40 miles of transportation from the Blue
kdgt, and lose the traffi frbm Ninety-six to
Columbia on all the business that Greenville
and the surrounding. tountry transacts with
Charleston.
We think, then, it plainl results from all we
have said, that the Blue Rhe. .ailroad, the
Greenville Rnirgnd, and.the e es of Columbia

the.followintagplan :ts the only one aiculated to

Our Advertising Columns.
BuSINESS men are now properly appreciating the
benefit to be derived from advertising in our paper.
We are glad of it, on our own a(count as well as
theirs. The circulation of the Advertiser is daily and
rapidly increasing. It is very certain that there is no
better medium on this tide of the State, for merchants,
manufacturers, and tradesmen generally to use, in at
tracting public notice to their respective wares. We
not only insert all notices committed to us handsome
ly and conspicuously, but we have a habit of direct.
ing the attention of all readers to them, which amounts
to almost the same thing as a double advertisemeit.
Those who have not yet tried our colunms for purpo.
ses of this kind would do well to think about it.
This week, we give several new Advertisements
One is from Mesrsrs SNOWDEN & SHEAa, an old anti
well tested firm, whose successful mode of doing busi
ness is perfectly well known. A second is from R. L.
DELPR, who has received, some stuperior Cotton girts.
A third one is the notice of JoElt Ctiaar, who is
going to open the old Atnerican of flamburg in newa
anid improved style.
Then there are some advertisements wshich have
been in a week or two, viz: that of BEAU. & S'ro
VAtL;, and of Woon & S-rUDDAaD, all of Augusta'
Please read them carefntily and find out the advanta

Decidedly Autumnal.
TarE last few nights with us have been quite cool,
the mercury having fal.'en to ab' u: 60 degres s, Fah
renhteit. -We had a fire kindled in our chamher yes
terday morning at day-break, nnd found it entirely
comfurtable. The ritngitng of the are at the. wood-f fle
sounded clear enongh through the fresh morning air.
The. chsnging temperature seemed to remind our
*neighbors that it was time to call in their fattening
hogs, if wve might judge from the long drawn "'pee
*goes " which echoed from every quarter. In fact the
appearances are dlecudedly atumunal. We hope the
heat of the season is past-i and that we shall have a
bracing Fall.
-Another Application.
ATTENTION is directed to the notice published by
us this week, of application to he made for a charter
of aPlatnk Road Company from this place to Rtich
ardsonsvilie. It is gratifying to see that -a spirit of
enterprise is being enkindled in the bosoms of ottr
fellow-citizens -in place of the apathy- which has for
some time characterised them. Notwithstanding the
wrong inferences of the " Hamburg Republican" and
" JouN Paosa~ss," we are a friend to improvement
in all branches. of industry. We only .advocate the
exercise of circumspection in all effort.s hiavintg that
end in .view.

L ANDRuS &?Co. is already progressing - finely. We
understand that one of the owners re'fuses fifty thou.
sand dollars for his fourth of it. Some ten or a dozen
locations are thought to present highly favorable
marks of a golden abundatce. We shall have Na
bobs a'plenty in Edgefield jet. The day for usurers
is past and gone. Money is'plenty'(all gold 'soin too,)
at V per-ccent.' -The fact is we can get it now almost
upon our own terms.- - They'll' beg us to take 'it after
a while..2?Byesthe bye, we see it stated that a-French
Cemist-htas discovered a-bona fidc-process of making
gold. If so, the long sought ,for Philosopher's Stone
-is found, and the Golden' Age is here. We would
like to get Frenchy's recipe before the valtue of the
aticle becomes too'nmuch depreciated.

A LETTER writer states that, at the late Paris Exz
nbition of the Arts, the bust of Louis NAPOLEON
Detween two Fires.
'11a caption denotes the situation in which we.
find ourself placed this week. On the first page of
the present number will be seen- an extract from. the
" Hamburg Republican" upon the " Edgefield Adver
tiser%" It seems to have been provoked by an article
in'dur isue of the 17th inst., in' hich we spoke gen.
erally of the severa? railroads and.:railroad projec ts
which are now engaging the atteition of our fellow
.citizens.. The IRepublican" attempts a vein of quint
sareasm towards us which we.must say is by no
means a-fiailure. We think his piece apretty well
written one as-far as mere style and taste are con
cerned. But inasmuch-as hi does not meet us upon
a single material point, we see no. kind of necessity
for 'a reply.' All that die can do therefore is to invite
the attention of- ourreaders to his remarks. It does
not belong to the'Aost.extreme courtesy of'the.Pres.
to do mori. -This is the first of the iwo 'fires which
we have assisted in presenting against ourself.
The other'is the communication of "John Prc.
gress,,-' in an~other part of this page. As to the com
'plimentary allusions to our Editorial ability whici
Johnpiles on at the outset of his piece, we can but
exclaim in the language of " Little Nan, " La !
John 'youfatters now, Pm sure!" But -flattery is a
very sweet thing and exerts an influence to which all
men yield themselves op. , We are not different'fromi
others; and,-under the circumstances, can' oily'sa'
"Dear Joh.! You are a delightful writer and, barr

meantis of transportation from Anderson ~towards
Charleston, as far as it reacies.
. Oridttiing the preliminary remarks of th'e writer,'
we begin with him where lie has fully gotten in

by-this course ; but we are compelled to shorten itin
some way and, prefer leaving all the body of the ar

A tribute to true Worth.
WE copy tromn a communicatin Ina a late number
of the Carolinian the following haandsome and feeling,
tribute to the name of AI.,EY Hi. LYTTLE. We ilo
this the moure readily,. as Edgefield District wa the
birth place of this gallant. buit unifurtunate young
mian. This consideration however, aside,.lhis exam.
ple is onec of that noble and useful kind, ever calcu.
lated to stimulaie obscure merit into active exertion;
and, as suchi, we present it to the youths of-our Dis.
trict, asking them to look upon it und catch up, if'
pussible, a portion of the glowing spirit which im-.
pelteed poor ALLEN LYTTLE.
The correspondent of the Carolinaian writes of him
as follows:

it rather took, as there were several oilier South

were without - backers and failed so flatly to produceI
the impression initended that we never broachaed the
subject again. . This effort was made some what after

honor. The State unfortuunately has -never felt her

selfsacrificing devotion were the only alternatives left
to freemen. Still it is but fair to say,.that South Caro

bearing, although the gallant State was made aware,
but too late, of her inabiliti to cope with the Geie-.

The alarm we have continually sounded on the

awakening the Soutth to a sense of her imiiiinent

a clearer coneption of their duities as imemibers of a

logie of ITARPER, TURND~LL, and other worthies of

resisiless tide. of oppression, and enaibled the
country once more tot look to the future wvith hope,
Secession iwas originally wiell meant, and was a
patrioitic movement, which, though being so gn
erally miisconctived or foully mistreated anid nmis-.
manaiged, its to dwinidle-into a contemnpt:ble scram
ble betiween the lead.:rs of die State, for the politi
cal aseendency, was nevertheless, most- highly
beneficial to the whole South, -and conservative of
the Constitution of~ the land. To it, and to the
general aiixiety and discontent it inspired through
out till of the slave-holding Staites, my be justly
ascribed our pre.sent security, tho unaiversal and
unqjualified acquie-scenee in the compromtise, and in
the Bill for the rendition of fupitive slaves, the lib
eral complex'on of Pi-e~ident P3ERCv.'s Cabinet, the
promotioni of so many sterlitig State liights men, to
high and responsibleposts in the Government, and
the radical and -hiappmy e'hange of the whole repub
lic on the sul.j'eet of Slavery.
It must be admitted, nevertheless, that, although
nullification aimed "a noble stroke, "-at a high
tarif-still its consequences to South. Carolina were
not. of unmixed .good. In the eagerness of her
eloquent Statesmen to promote -free-trade, and to
throw off the odious hurtlien undler which we iwere
erisinggggr ee -d..fu~te haa t.,
oppose-the uneixal and, unjust system, of taxation-:
that had been iimposed upon us,.and made: war.
upon -all schemes of internal impt'ovement by-the
G irernment, as p etexts used by the friends of high
dseriminating duties. for exhausting the treasury,
and inducing something~ I:ke a necessity sfor adopt
ing their favoritesneasures. *So far as internal i
provements iiere thus. abused, by a sordid, unscru
puouis rljority, it was .unquestionably right to
o r opposition, to'themn-or, at least, such a course
in -our-distinguished headers were excusable under
the appialling cicumistmees-that, so threatenedj
overiwhelmning ruin aid -degradation to the South.
Such ai mode of iiarfare, though, in my bumble
judgement, wais unphtilosophical, and gave evidence
rathefr fihe fertile resour ces of advocates, and of
that strong instinet which "snutred.tyranny inthe.
~tinted gale," -than of that high. courage which:
dares to redress wrong on tle moment of-.its inflic

scorns an indirect method of resenting injustice, -it
m attera not how -indirectly soever, si itay be-perpe
trted by the ministers of oppression and despotism.
To denounce internal improvements, wvhich, ab

country, because Northiern numaufacturers iiere
base enough to make them the instrument and the'
medium of aggression upon the cotton-groiwing and,
slave-holding States, afforded -a bit of policy like

General McDUFFIE, by the resistless strains of his
matchless eloquence, precipitated the State into a
ver'frenzy, and himself exc~ted to a degree, whol
ly to deprive judgment of the helm, he carried
others beyond all the bounds of propriety or com

the use of broadcloth, because it- was manufactured
