Speech of Capt. R, Ward,
DELIVERED IN COLUMBIA, S. C., ON THE COLU31
BIA AND 1A3IrUP.G RAILROAD.
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

streani large or small, from the mountains or
:111% where el.e, culs through this level and re.
markaible Ridge. 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.

Toe Ridge IoUL lroper, is so oeautiful and
level that :0l1 fhie maeiter-, of Congress, regular
trare'lerb and merchants, in olden times, used to
express themselves very freely by saying, how
reia.kable is this Ridge, nuthinig like ih frm'
Bos~on to New Orleans, such a beautiful level
road, and nothing ticy coui1 have said would
be truer; and yet there are those who would
ive Ihis le utiful ri Ige the go by,some for w:ilt
of a knon le-fge of its advantages, and odaers

the Chief Eoginer's report, a few inut es. A

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
