'?he True Spot Designated by Mr.Cal houn's Finger. In the face of the groat and active ef Sjrts that are now being made by intelli gent populations everywhere to secure th? advantages ' which are acknowledged to bo gnlucd by additional railroad eom ni uni cations, wo should be very much <5.>ljgod to Senator Butler for tho public awl far-seeing spirit evinced by his let ter which wo publish iaanotber column. X?or no doubt when Senator Bntb r wrote thus to Senator Pendleton, he had in his wind'!* rye thc late change in tho charter ?if tho old -Savannah Valley Railroad Company. At the last session of the I eg islatnro this charter was so amended that, instead of running from Anderson, on the Westside of Rocky, River, down tho immediate valley of the river to Ham bu gt as was the original intent, thecom jnuir may now run their road on the East md? <?t R'.cky River to Belton, and from litton. dueSfouth. to Dom's Mino, some ^ja?y-mi??s^on the Edgefield and Abbe ville Ku*. This they have determined to do; and although they failed to secure . envi?is to labor on tins route, still, notb lng daunted, they are at this very timo advertising to give out contracts for the grading of twenty miles of the Road, ?: mmeneing at Anderson C. H. At the tu xi w-ion ot the Legislature they wilj ugjun spply for convicts, and will doubt lew, get them. And Of course the ulti mate designof the Savannah Valley Com pany is to push on their Road io meet outs at Edgefitld. From Dom's Mine to Kdgelield is twenty-four miles; and a railroad ronte already carefully recon Koitertd, makes it only twenty-two? Fn.in Edgefield to Aiken, by the Road KOW ir: progress, is twsut\--one miles. So in this year of grace ISSI another gt-and opportunity opens itself to Edge ll*!'!, and moro larticnlarly to Ctarles t.m. And if Charleston would do her duty-fy? there is no doubt ot thia being tl?? ?hortest and most direct ronte to Cin t'lAitsti-tv? believe Edgefield would elo b-.-rn. Both Charleston and Edgefield hav? missed too msnj* grand chances in the past to be slumbering now over per Laps ibe last one. Of the route and connections North ?j ward from Anderson, we.wiH speak par ticularly next week. Arni as we meditate upon these poss!-" bailies and probabilities, wo cannot help thinking that when Mr. Calhoun put his finger down on V Lott's," it foretold the ..Trenton" of the great fotnro. O?course it only meant some spot thereabouts, within a radius of t?>n or twelve miles. Hui perhaps some of our readers have ?ever heard how tho great John C. Cal hou?, away back in the remote depths o' antl'iuity, when railroads were jost be ginning to be built, took up a map, and pottirg his finger first upon tho spot w?.err now stands Atlanta, Ga., and then upon "Lott's," S. C., said: " it these two points grea'-cities will arise anti great xailrnn/ls will ?ross each other in every di wedon." t-at l?atlihcrs and Murderers of Miss Wert? Summarily Put to Death. A i-?;?uat bf thia unspeakably tiorri b:e ?l!'?ir may l>e found upon ocr first page; and, as the Greenville Daily JVew> very promptly and forcibly says, "there wd! be a verdict of unanimous approva] o: lb? ??-'.<_ .'''f cjijggapcf !NVr?.berrv who so promptly and justly put tho two brutes t) death who so foully elishonored and so coolly ?lew a pore young woman.' The only regret that they were not subject ed to womc'of the lingering tortures which th^y inflicted upon their weak and help less victim. A blacker mme than theirs h*> never been record?!, and no horror o? death could have been too great for them, Tae simple taking of their brutish lives seems an utterly, inadequate punishment when the sickening details of the deed ar? thought (it -"Dt*pite the protests of Northern peo ple, (whose feeling-or lack of it-on such sobjectq fee confess an inability to appre cute) we hope that it will always remain part o? the unwritten law of the South that th? white man or black man who f -rcibly deprives a woman of her honor-her to?ai pn-cious possession-will be considered a fair mark for the bullet and a fair subject f ?r the rope, wherever found. He should be allowed no chance to escape by laws delays or failures of justice. He is simply a dang'-rous animal with human power of wrong doing, and should be put out of the way without the loas of time. We have so fean of a d?Terent sentiment 'arising. SJ long as there are men with wives, daughters and sisters, there will be plenty of willing hands to pull the rope or touch the trigger that rids the world of the rape fiend." Lyueh-Law the Higher Law. The law is slow and uncertain, even Viere the proof of guilt ?3 eiear and pop tiUr sentiment quickens and sustains prosecutor and jury. For a crime such as that which was committed near Prosperi ty on Mond.iy night, there must bo the 'Reediest and severest punishment that civilization will allow. Burning at the t?ake or chopping the offender into mince meat were not too much. But death, ur? -mipanted by torture, is the extreme penalty that the restraints of custom al low. The most that can be done is to make vengeance sure, and execute the guilty bi?tee on the spot where the horrible deed Wrfs elo: e This is tho justification of the lynching of the two negroes who killed Sim Werts. The action of the citizens needs no apology. In what they did they reprtfented society at large, and were the exponents of a law that is older than govrnmenU, and more venerable than the constitutions of State*. We -rant that even lynching may not . prevent the commission of the worst of fascj-s in .a State where the lowest class is large, and is easily made uncontrollable. Bat if lynching will not cure the evil, it will mitigate it. Nothing less than lynch ing ia of any avail at all. And if simple sjooting or hanging will not do, some still harder death will be found.-jVWff and Courier. Eh lal of Miss Wert?. ?Jdis- Werts was buried at Colony Church "Wednesday afternoon. And thus has >a*sed away t -lovely and gentle spirit. The brutes who heeded not her prayers, as she begged to be .?na. ed and promised theta money if they would let her go safe ly bone, are dead, but their punishment wonld not have been too sever* if they fcad roasted by 'slow degrees. Shooting ?nd hanging are too good for the infernal devils who think nothing of cruelly oat raging and murdering the young and most beautiful girls of the land.-Newberry' $feWs. \ A Kew Epoch-And brilliant!-E>* S?vauuali River. Axv? ia April or May we Edgefield pi pie-will make ap a charming excursion Savannah-in some respecta the most i teresting city in America-sailing t\o\ the river leisurely-touching at not pointe--and enjoying the dolce far mei in almost tropical style.

MY DEAR SIR: Our people on the Sout or East side of the Blue Ridge Range < Mountains, are extremely anxious to mafe sime direct Railroad connection with Cir cinnati and the Western cities. Tho chii ' obstacle to this very desirable end-tb hitherto impassable .barrier of the monn t ?n?-has been lately overcome by th discovery of a PasB through which a,rail road may be built, as 1 am informel without a tunnel or a trestle, and with grade of not more than seventy five feet t the mile. The present terminus of th Southern Cincinnati Railroad ot Cbalta nooga, is too far to the West tor its ex teri sion through this gap, and does not reac - lirectly at leaat-those ports on the Al lantic coast nearest to Cincinnati. Ni ctn it traverse that fine agricultural an m mufacturing region lying between tb Blue Ridge and the sea eoist, without branch diverging from its present lin K istwardly, so as to pass the mountain tirough this natural opening. Links of trunk line are now being graded fron A ken, S. C ; to Edgefield, and from E sb S ?lion, on the Air-line Railroad toward tais gop.(Eastatoe) which, if you will ex a nine the map, you will find is the near cit route from Cincinnati to Charlestor I say "links of a trunk line." I mean b; that different Railroad companies urde charter from S. C , are being thusgraaed wiiich by consolidation could be made t t.-unk linc-and with continuation tbrougl the mountains, and western connections would make the shortest line to the se: coist. ls it practicable, do you think, t: make this connection with any of yon: roads, so aa to make an independent direc short trunk line? If so, in my judgment oae of tho best and most profitable linei could be established on the continent, an< at a smaller expense than any similar en t rprise in the eountry. These Roads ot t ie Ewt side of the Blue Ridge are beic^ g-aded with convict labor, andona of then his not cost more than $230 per mile, fo: t?o grading, for the last eight miles, i is true the progress is slow-for tho wan' of capital-bot I believe if there was t p ospect of having an extension to Cm : ennati and thc western eities, capita : would be forthcoming for their early com pletion. Port Royal harbor, as you knowi is one of the finest on the Atlant.c coast, with water ofsufficient depth to admit the arg^t vessels afloat ; and when tho Char leston je.tties have been completed within the next two or three years, we hope tc hive twenty-five feet of water at that Bar, so that the shipping would be amply accommodated for ??ny amount of freight age. Since the completion of the Southern Cincinnati, terminating ns remotely as it decs from us, many of our business men are turning their aUention to Cincinnati for many of your manufactures, such as buggies, carriages, wagons, furniture, hard ware. And, of coursa, with a direct trunk line of Railroad through these mountains, at a point snch as I have in dicated, thia feeling would be immensely iucreased, and a reciprocity of profitable trade established. That section of coun try north of a Hoe drawn from Augusta, Ga., through Columbia and Cheraw, in S. C , is unsurpassed in any part of-the world for its endless water power lor ma chinery; and cotton manufactories are be ing, and will continue to be built upon them. These manufactures will of course want a market, and your city and other adjacent western cities will be important customers if quick1 direct transportador should be at hand to take them.away. Last summer after I left yon in Ken tucky, I came over the Southern Cincin nati to Chattanooga from Lamington, Ky., in about (cn hours. What is wanted, is a road to Knoxville, and thence through the mountains at some convenient pass direct to the Atlantic; coast. Could not the Ken- j tucky Central reach out in that direction and establish an independent trunk line such as 1 have suggested '? Our people in 8. C. would take hold of such a project with earnestness and zeal, and aflopJ every assistance in their power to make it one ot the finest commercial highways in America. We haye spent a vast amount of money on the li!nc Ridge Railroad which was to cross the mountains at the Rabun Gap; and but tor the intervention of the war,-the road would have been completed. Perhaps this route might still ' J adopted with advantage, but from what I have heard of thc Easiatce Gap route, it would doubtless be cheaper than the Rabun Gap route. Either, however, would accomplish the object to which J take the liberty of railing your attention, viz : A shor'. direct, economical trunk line from C.ncinnati to the Atlantic coast. 1 am. very sincerely, your obedient servant. M. C. BUTLER. WABHIXGTOH, Deo., 2Mrd, 1880. Hon. JJ. 0. lintier, Washington. MY DEAR SIR: I have read, with much interest, your letter in relation to railroad connections between South Carolina and Cincinnati. This subject occupied the at tention of Cincinnati as long ag i as I can remember. Indeed, on-3 of the earliest recollections 1 have, ia of an illumination of the city in honor of-a visit of Commis sioners from South Carolina, in the inter est of railroad connections Lt is very obvious that the inter?s'.? of boin sections will be advanced by greater f.tcilitu'.i of intercommunication, than we now have. The Cincinnati Southern railroad, finding jts terminus at Chattanooga, does not an swer all the reqn i remen ts of active busi ness between the parts of the country of which you speak. Thc difficulties in vhs way of building the railroad, though great, are by n> mian? in-uvjer ible Examinations and surveys arc continually pointing ont advantageous gaps and water ways, by which grades can be rc laced, and heavy tunneling, in a great n?easur?, be avoide'. Tho new rou .es lo which yon allude, tend in the sann* direction. Late ly much interest has been excited in Cin cinnati by a proposed exlen&ion of thc Kentucky Central Railroad and the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad, to tho Ten nessee State line, there connecting with the road to Knoxville, and the prospect is that this extension will be speedily made. The roads leading South from Knoxville, combining with this extension, wsll ac complish the purpose which tyn hu vc ?ri view.:* I wilt see that your letter reacher the proper authorities of the Kentucky Central Railroad, who, I am sure, will give it all the attention which the subject it self, as well os your intelligent discussion of ii, demanda.
