The prompt and enthusiastic move ol 10 public-spirited citizens of Edgolield i regard lo the proposed railroad from aureus via Edgefield to Augusta, as in icatcd in the action of the meeting hold 11 the 2d instant, betokens the most en silaging prospects for this new connec on, which promises, if perfected, great laterial advantage to Augusta. That ur public-spirited Mayor was so mind il of thc prospective interests of Augus i in tho prospectivo as to have the city ^presented by Capt. O. N. Butler, (ol ie houso of Graham <fc Butlor,) who has ?cently cast his fortunes among us, is vidence that our pcopje aro not insensi le to thc importance of tho enterprise rejected.

' A Wonderful Case of Caesarean Op eration. Tho subjoined article, written by Dr. J. Walter Hill, of our town, we copy from tho "Transactions of the South Carolina Medical Association, Annual Session, 1871." It is an unusual article bo found in the columns of the Advert ser, but as a very valuable contribution to science, no less than as a wcll-morited compliment to a Physician whose skill experience, and constant study, should be a matter of prido in our community we do not hesitato to give it place. This article and tho operation it details have excited immense interest among the medical men ol* the whole country. W are informed that Dr. Hill's skillful as sistants in this difficult and wonderful operation were Dr. W. D" Jennings and Dr. H. W. Tompkins, also of our town Ou tho 10th of October, 1869, I was called at night to Margaret (j ray, aeolorcd woman of pure race, about thirty years of age, married, live feet high, well 1'orm cd, in good health, and in her second la bor, rt he had been in labor li lt ecu hours and informed mo that twelve years pre viously she had a difficult labor, which lasted for six days. I was unable to learn the cause of the protracted labor, but upon examination tho result was shown in total destruction to the perineum, in contraction ol' tho vagina to a degree whicli precluded a digital entrance, and by a ?rm, tense, unyielding membrane ol' cicatricial tissue, about one inch from the ostiuni vaginae. Upon more careful exploration, 1 found an critico in this cicatricial membrane which admitted No. 10 bougie; an adhesion of the urethra half an inch from the meatus, which made it impervious, and prevented the introduction of tho catheter, and in ad dition a vesico vaginal fistula. There was no deformity of the pelvis. The woman stated that immediately following her last labor there had been a constant flow of urine, over which she had no control Finding that tho mouth of the uterus could not bc reached in the usual way, I mado a rectal examination and found the head presenting. A cavity between the uterus and the cicatricial curtain clo sing tho vagina at thc external third could bo readily felt with the finger in thc rectum. To enlarge tho orifice in the falso vaginal membrane, was iu my opin iou, tho proper course; but wishing a consultation, which could not be obtained until morning, my patient was put unde influence of morphine and left for the night. Un tho day following, at eleven o'clock in consultation, it was agreed to make such enlargement as would permit a digital examination per vaginam. An incision was made through the mem brane which easily admitted the index finger into tho cavity beyond tho obstrue tiou, but tho os uteri could not be found by myself, nor by the consulting physi c?an. , Uuder these conditions, the labor having now been in progress for twenty eight hours without change, it was be lieved, from the condition of tho parts and the contraction of the vagina, that delivery was impossible per vices natu rales- In consultation, it was decided that thc Cicsarcan section should be performed. Circumstances prevented my operating until eleven o'clock tho next day, at which hour, tho labor having not-pro gressed further than the previous day, chloroform was administered and the operation for delivery waa made in the following way : Bv a careful incision through tho linea alba, commencing one inch below the umbilicus and ending two inches above tho syinphisls pubis, tho abdominal cavity w?s exposed. The peritoneum was incised to the same ex tent as tho internal wound, and by cau tious strokes of thc knife, thc cavity of tho uterus was entered through an open ing'sufficient for tho extraction ol'tho foetus. There was no liquor amnii, and the left arm was found presenting direct ly in tho linc of incision; tho child was removed without difficulty and cried vigorously. Thc placenta attached to the posterior portion of tho fundus, waa im mediately taken away, after thc extrae lion of thc chil i, and thc hemorrhage, which was considerable, forthwith ceased, under thc ready and firm contraction of tlie uterus. The line of incision was brought together by seven deep inter ruptcdsutu ros passed through thc abdom inal walls ana tho peritoneum. Long strips of adhesive plaster were placed between each suture, which still further approximated thc deep ns well as .super ficial part of thc wound. Thc dressing was completed by applying a compress of carded cotton "wcli saturated wi til car bolic acid and glycerine, (one part of the formor to eight of the latter,) to the whole length of tho wound. The patient did not show by the pulse the effect of thc hemorrhage incidental to tlie incisions and tho delivery of tho foetus and tho placenta, so, possibly, there was not moro blood lost.than is usual in a natural labor. Thc chloroform acted most kindly, and after complete return to consciousness, a largo doso of mor phine was given, and several portions left with directions to my old nurse to keep the woman under the influence of thc drug until I could again see her. The compresa of cotton was left undis turbed, except that there was daily added as much of the carbolic mixture as it would talco tip, until thc sixth day, when it was removed. Union by first inten tion lind taken placo to the whole extent ol' the incision, save half an inch at its lowest part, which readily healed in a few days. Under thc moderato influence of morphine and light diet my patient convalesced without an unfavorable symptom, and had recovered sufficiently to no longer need rav services after tho twelfth ?lay succeeding the operation. The great success obtained waa due to my good fortune in having a competent assistant, who, by placing his hand on either side of tho line of incision, with tho thumbs, extending across the upper parts, kept the intestines wellout of the way, and at the same time supported the uterus steadily while tho incisions were being made, as well as during tho de livery of tho utoriue contents. It is now seventeen months since the mothor was delivered. She has contin ued in good health, and attends to thc rough duties of a laborer's household. The child is a well-formed, strong, vigorous boy, better grown than most children of Iiis agc. Newspaper Change.

To Which is Thc Apology Dae? Two precious old rascals at.the North havelately experienced bitter disappoint ment-Horace Groely and Bon Butler. Horace ardently wished to be nominated for President of the United States by the New York Radical State Convention, and worked hard for thia end, with a power ful faction to back him. But the said Convention met at Syracuse on the 4th inst., and nominated Grant. Horace and his mon fought valliantly, but met with death nevertheless. Ben Butler, surnamed "spoon-thief," panted, with longings that could not be uttered, to bo nominated for Governor of Massachusetts. But tho State Conven tion met lately at Worcester, and nomi nated, instead of Ben, a man named Washburn. Ben stood his diaappoint mcnt better than old Horace. He subsi ded gracefully and agreed to support Washburn. But just before Bon's de feat, Horace, who although they are brother Radicals, does not like Ben, had abused the latter sorely in the Tribune, and gone so far as to call him a " turkey gobbler." After Ben's amiable and grace ful behavior, of courso the Tribune will have to apologise to him. Some people however, will think the apology more duo to tho gobbler than to Ben ! To which then shall it be-to Bon or the gobbler? A New Railroad Project. A correspondent of the Constitutional ist, writing from Big Creek, in this Coun ty, presents a new railroad route in a plain practical manner, and shows clear ly the advantages. Augusta would derive from the construction of such a road. But here aro the writer's views : The chief object of this communication is to cali tho attention of the people of Augusta to the vast advantage, in a com mercial point of view, accruing to them by the construction of a short lino of rail road, viz: from Newberry village or Sil ver Street, on the Greenville and Colum bia Railroad, to Lott's or Johnston's De pot on the Charlotte, Columbia and Au gusta Railroad. The distance from New berry to Lott's is about thirty-five miles; from Silver Street to Lott's near twenty six miles. The Laurens Railroad termi nates at Silver Street, and can be bought for a small sum of money, aud the lino of road extended to Laureus Court House, which would enhance the value of the road by increase of trade. Tho route of the proposed line through Edgefield coun ty would pass through one of the richest sections of South Carolina-no heavy grading or deep tills, but one stream of any size, and the country finely timber- ; ed, abounding in every material for rail- , road construction. The people residing on the line aro anxious for tho road, and will render all tho aid in mouey and la bor poBsi I do for them to give. The cost of building the road would probably not oxceod two hundred and fifty thousand . dollars. The narrow gauge may bo con- : structed for much less money. Now, ? what would be the pecuniary benefits to the people of the city of Augusta? I ! will state facts, and leave her practical commercial men to form their own con clusions. First, at Newberry village, there are sold annually from sixty to eighty thousand bales of cotton, lithe above road was built two-thirds of that I trade would come ta Augusta. The peo ple from north Edgefield, Newberry, , Laurens and Abbeville counties would ship their produce over this road to Au gusta. I estimato that forty thousand ( additional balesof cotton would be tlirown on tho market of your city. Wo aro of opinion that it would pay the city of Augusta to build the road, using her own funds. Tho increase of her trade would amply compensate for the investment, without estimating thc profits accruing from frolghts and passengers. Mr. Edi tor, we wish you to agitate this railroad schorno in earnest discuss'' m through the press of the city, that the attention of the thinking and commercial men ' may be directed to tho importance of the work. Yours, respootfully, L. C. A Live Home Journal. Las ; October, Hearth and Home passed into tho hands of Messrs. Orango Judd Lt Co., of 245 Broadway, Now York, thc well known publishers of the American Agriculturist-a journal long without a rival in sterling valuo and circulation. Tho markod improvements then expect ed to appear in Hearth and Home have boon fully realized, and it is now one of th o choicest illustrated journals any whero issued for tho family circle-adapted to both thc juvenile and adult people, and meeting the special wants of tho house keeper.

Here is an account from a place on Long Island of . two sisters, aged women, who nave long lived together in a dilapidated house. They seldom went out, and no one knew how they lived, but it was generally un- 1 derstood that they had plenty of funda. ? 1 One of the pair was insane, and, doubt less, motives of delicacy induced thc other to lead this secluded life with her* The mere thought of tb is lonely existence, ? with no companion but a maniac, is shock- ' ing to think of, and it recalls the horrid creature in Charlotte Bronte's wonderful novel. Yet these two lived thus for years, until lately the neighbors noticing : au unusual quiet about thc house took alarm and forced the door. Within they found the dead body of one sister in au advanced state of decomposition, and the other-destitute of sense, yet st.il\ possess ing a sisterly devotion-was patiently watching beside the remains, what a subjoot for the novelist or poet, and what a lesson it teaches of the indestructibility of human affection.-New York Evening Mail. 1 7f?l- Dogs remarkable for sagacity ox- . ist in regions whoro alligators abound, i For instance, when ono of them wishes , to cross a river whero the alligators are, ? he goes up the stream a good way and barks with all his might.
