The loudest condenations of the dlerelicioens ibove named will probably comec from those who have set the example, and given Ihigrant provocation. Thec stealing of Africans has long been prtac ticed at the North. Men there steal them from their homes in the South. They take thent from the midst of plenty, witlh persons to take care of theni, and they carry them to an tun propitious climate, and turn them loose to suhhier and to starve. If the .Georgian connives at or engages in stealing Africans also, lhe can plead that he im proves, not injures, their condition.

A correslponldent om Cheraw writes us, that three-!ourths~ of the eople in that section were in inivoi- of the bill, though opposed by the leading representative. But the pressing question is, what shall the )irectors now do ? In reply, we can only ad anre our opinion. The Legislature has-not di ected a discontinuance of the w ork, nor that - he part of the State funds not yet expended halt not be farther used. It has simply refused o enlarge the aid. Under these circumstances, re respectfully suggest that the funds and cred ts nowv ihand, shall be. forthwith applied to ~he completion and equipm.ent' of so much of he R~oad in South Carolina as they can finish, : [t will be but an extension of railroad .from anderson U.
