The citizens of the wImlt country iiiuuiii! lhshopvillc would like t? )ihvc the road ex'ended to I.inc:.*ler? In in) humble opinion, the best ami t?ur. est w.i\ to get a lailr-ml to L Oleaster i*, to run u ilireet to Biehopv ille, and if po*. ? l?V, u.ake it a miitimi itioii of the North Kiiterii U >Hil. It would then he hut one tare and one freight through to Charles ton. )ty tins |?!an all llio trouble ol changing cars ami lia- dliug of freights would he avoided. A road from limhop villo to Lancaster would run lliroiigh a Very level country, conse.piently, the gra ding would cost hut little, iu comparison x with the cost* of grading railroads gene rally. And another great expense in con atructing railroad* is building of bridges, which on this route would p..t cost very much, being but three small streams that would retpnre a bridge more than forty (tret long. The distance would he on a fine from Lancaster C. U , nboiU liftv miles, mid it in greater llutn we would have to liuild tj strike oilier point*, yet, I hel>eve it would be cheaper nnd mnke H belter pit) ing rond. Another great ad%nnInge in thin: by running n railroad (ihrpujjli tlua portion of the country, it would bring into market thousands of acres of pine lands that are now niiiiual unsaleable at any price It would run through pine lands the whole route, ex cept within four or five miles of Lancaster C. II. Th us making these lands in our ilistricl more valuable for the Turpentine they contain. There would be thousands of barrels of Turpentine anu lyosiu ship ped over the road annually, which would be alone almost freight enough to sustain it, excepting the travel and freight on cotton and other products, which would he sure tp come over this route. It is lp(r|i time that Lancaster had a railroad and i know she is sinply able to build one. Now, u< my belief, if the citizens of Lancaster will raise $150,000 it will inaura an rxl?i>fjp{i of lU North Kaatrrn Koad. Ami, ifabp aliould full to make h part and parent pf the North Eaatern I toad, I would any, that >200,000 would be a aufficieht }ubacript:on with what aaaiatanrc ali? would gal from othar raaourcw* to build a jpad ?p lli> hoprill?. p, , to Linchburg, n station on the Wilmington <fc Manchester ltoad. Tlie country j between these two places are level, with fine roads. Some of the host regulated atnl host itnpioved farms I have ever seen are on thL route. Large fields of 50 and j 100 acres, and some even larger than j this?now covered with heaps of manure about every 20 yards, are to be seen, which j speak well for the farmers of this country. | I learn that they make 0 and 7 hales of Cotton to the hand, and some more than t this. 1 tiiul that tl ?A trroul Qupt*?i! t !>*? ? } large yields are not in the lands', nor in I lite large quantities of manure pioduced i from their ham yard*, hut, the fundamen tal onuse of j?rod crops in this country, is by the application of C'lann.
