This great public work, that Columbia has embraced with such a he:arty good-will, requires that every man concerned, should speak freely hisi sentiments, that all light possible may be thrown on the subject. I do most sincerely hope, that you will ntot have to lamaent When it ii forever too late, an unfortunat.. location ; I propose !hen to make a few observations ont thei dit-rent routes proposed. 31y thorough knowl edge of every mile of country between thisi ph ti and Augusta, entitles tile, I think, to that privilege. First. I shall speak of the Ridge route prrFer. The " Rhlg'e,' par excellence, one of the uot rem:irkable Ridges i ever knew, to run across a well-watereil country for 74 miles, and that at the head of s.eanboat navigation. All that se tion of Colintry lVIm ietweeln the moulths if.

St ange a- it may seem, you can p:ass from your Congaree here to Hamnburg and never cross a single strern or swaimp, large or small, on a route not exceeding 76 miles, uas. ily reduced, by passing over a few very insigti. liant branches, to 73 miles. This Ridge ikde B'u! Rid-e to all the couitry below, that I nave de~vribed as lying between the Santee and Sla v.aMtah rivers; and, most likely was once the sea coast ; and the ocean as it receded, threw up great sanad beds, as it is now doi g at Moris Is. hland aid other places on the coast. These sand beds, nlow called sand hills, conslihute the high aarp ridges between the streams that take their rise just below the Ridge proper, forming. rleep casms andl umtaniy hollows: some wit wf W ter in them and other dry, just Us you find the lo;lows ad altreams issuilg frtu the mountains praper, :id as my friend Col.

So again it was up one branch and downt anothier to Shiaw's creek, more gratdes ad tressel. Shaw's creek is itself a river, ten on a stiff~ grade to thte rid$Ebetween Shaw's and Horse creeks, where they again have to cut thiriy feet deep, for ntearly two thousand feet, where thecy tianally get to Graniteville, over a resel 57 feet high. And here, I may rematrki, is te tirst feeder on the whole route, butt unfor tuartely, sir, the Chiarleston Railroad likewise passes Gratniceville, so the ontly populated coun try on the whole route, is, where this lower route passes close to, or very near the South Carolina Railroad, viz: from Aiken to Ham burg, and nearly all their trade is and will re mai. .w.,;h Crlmetnn_ The r,,at of the cn. try between Graniteville and Columbia, is most. ty bar.en sand hills; ihe few thrifty citizens, a.-e saw-mill men, who raft and trade to Char. le.iton. The descent from the ridge above Aiken, we all kniow, is very difficult, (I believe the inclined plane there, which origin lly was scarcely three quarters of a mile long, has cost in all proba. Iility nearly a million of dollars,) and will be alike dillicult to both routes. Now, let us turn once more to the Riyge route proper. We have a grade out from Ham burg abot four miles long, 53 feet to the mile, thenl one level mile, then about three miles more 53 feet grade, (if no better valley can be found, which I think can,) then all trouble is over-a splenidid, level, dry, " Ridge Road" all the way, to n iin seven miles of Columbia, not a single tre.,sel required on the whole route, and popula tion all ifhe way. If we take the Lexington route firt t here is t he town itself, then the large settle metls of Hollow, Clouds, Dry, and Mine creeks, and then the weably, thriving town of Edge. field, wiJh its plank road from the Pine House, to nine miles abave the village; then the thick, we;.~h by settlements immediately on the line, in all over Lwen y to one on the sand hill route. The Ridge roui e proper can be built for about $100. 000 less money than the sand hill route. T1hae Engineer's estimate yon will bear in mind. was. not made on the '-Ridge Routy pro pe.,'* but on the Lexiagton route, which is a half a m;le longer, and a bridge over twelve mile creek with heavy embankiments on both sides. I feel p;:rfeealy confident the Ridge Rotto can be run, in fr.sm fifteen to thirty minutes less tite than the " Sand Hill" route, and nothing is more certain, than that it will cost less to keep - in repair, altlough it may be four or five miles lon-er. I consulted Edgar Thompson, one of the best E-gineers in the Union, on the routes, and his ant wer was very prompt: "always take a Ridge rouie if you cana get one" (not across the ridges as pe. lower route.) the expenses on a good ridge, !ays he, are cut down every way. in first cost, in i.er repairs, in saving of time, and often very greatly in suits for damages. Look for instance ii your little Yoikville ridge road, now paying 3 pei cent. Then, sir, the feeders are always important, and on this route will most likely grow more tIad more so. For sir, we must look forward to ie ti ate, when we may loose this through tra el.-Ir you can keep it 20 years, yes, sir, 15 ears, utdi-turbed, it will be a "Dorn Gold line' to your Charlotte road, giving an increase >r pass.:ge money alone of $400,000 yearly, nd I hope wildo as well for our beautiful Cap ,a,. the p-eitiesz city on earth. Now. let us look everything fairly in the face, Muppose, in that. ine the through travel is lost, mu your road i, built through those barren sand ent or- ti foj if' th'aee whoseifliaeheb ear- - ied it i ri*lti!e the Ridge or Lexington -du.e wouildl always keep itself up, and add to ne pr8perity of your city; and what would mar 'Old travellers s:ay, who used to travel the tldie Road years ago ?
