These communications we have declined, as we never intend to allow our paper to he the medium of an unlimited discussion of auch questions. The objections are mainlv. the warmth wilh whi.-h Buch controversies are usually conducted, the length to which they nro carried, and the comparative little good which results from them. Each party, with their respective adherents, at the end of the contest, find themselves precisely w here they ctopd at the beginning; with this difference : that each is less charitably disposed toward the othsr. Thu article on another column signed "Peace," does not touch upon the points in question : hence the above objections do not apply to it, and ? e have given it a place In to day's paper.

The Mercury of the 10th inatn alluding to the season of iu>t weather and its fatal effects upon the livea of many of the citizens of Charleston, says : "Certainly the past week has left a mark upon the history of Charles" ton, which it has never before experienced. VVe uiny have had, at rare intervals, terma of as excessive heat, but such have never before been accompanied with a glut of mur. ders, or even signalized by more than an occasional sun stroke.

We are glad to see that the Charleston papers are beginning to express an interest in the new railroad enterprise, which promises ac much for our metropolis. The Courier, nftpr publishing the proceedings of the late Convention at Sumter, earnestly invites the attention of the citizens of Charleston to pie (pnttpr, urging its importance to thcin as being a shorter connection with Charlotte, N. C. The Courier puts down the distance from Charleston to Charlotte, by this new r..ad. at 202 miles. This we submit to our r 'spectcd cotemporary, jn loo much. According to the estimates we havo received from persons familiar with location, the length of route is as follows i (.imrioiie to l-anriiMter, 35 : Lancaster lo Jlishopvllle, 43 ; llinhopvill* lo Sumter, 20; Sujnter to Manning 18 ; Manning to Ciourdin's, 20 ; (lourd'ui's to Charleston, 60 ;? making a total of 186 mile*, of which there will he 136 miles of npw road. The distance from Chnrlptte to Charles ton, via Columbia is 247 tniios j so that the difference In favor of our road, when completed, will be 61 miles ; a difference in this day of competition among railroads, o| very material importance, and in our judgment, quite sufficient to enlist the earnest efforts of hoth Charleston sod pb*rlot|p in the enteipriae We are gratified to Isarn from private sonrces, that Charlotte is fully alive to her interest to the matter; that she sees ill this road advantages to her far greater than those she iias derived from any of the roads w hich converge to that point. It is said that being already heavjly taxed, the eilj conncil will not bo "hjo^ to a great deal in the way of material aid ; bql ^hat private individuals, and partieultriy the moraanti!# community, will ansint liberally. Ti\ay are heartily tired of the monopoly and " the transportation of goods upon the South a Carolina Railroad, and regard this new and n more direct route to Charleston as opening | f out advantages to theui as a clans, not uf- r forded by uny road now in operation, or in | ji course of construction. Thpy believe tliat i J it will be the monns of drawing much of t tho produce uf t'^o great West through ' g Charlotte, that would otherwise find ita way 1 1 to porta {{oi|th of Charleston ; and they |j look upon this enterprise, if happily com- t pleted, ns in s great measure superseding a the importance to South Carolina of lite j r ^lue .Ujdgc Ruilroa^. | ( J)r. 3, Marion Sim*. | t The editor of the Montgomery Mail, in referring to n lute viuit to New York, thou . i mentions Dr. J.

Mr. Stogler is a native of our District and a son of lohn Stogu.er, Esq. I was introduced to his iutoligent and enterprising gentleman loniething more than two years ago, when was advocuting through the columns of our journal the policy and propriety of his District, building a Railroad. lie was it that time doing a commission busi> less in the city of Charleston under the ! irm of llyutt &. Stogner. It might seem strange to some that 1 voulil have this Seller published when two ,'earH Iiave transpired since its reception, but 1 will give the reason. You recollect .wo years ago when I was advocating the milding of a railroad through this District. 1 then had a call drawn tip and went round lo see if I could get subscribers to it so Lhnt we could have a meeting at the Court House for the purpose of taking into cyi sidcration the, then contemplated project I'.ut i had hard work to get subscribers.? I then proposed to a gentleman to draw up a subscription paper ; he. thought it was premature and we had better wait and see wliat sort of crops we wou'd make. I did pot impeach any of those geiith uivu for not having a railroad spirit, lor some of them remarked that we had irutde so iminy elForls ind failed, and they did not want to make my more wind work about the matter, with. >ut being suro of a road. I began to think Lancaster almost doomed to remain without Railroad facilities ? ' for 1 could not suppose it hardly plati-ihle, hat the North l^istern company would help js to build a railroad between untouch baren country as would bo between Florence ind Lancaster (J. II Lust year I thought J would try an experiment with guano.? j [ was perfectly astonished at its results. | ind it so elevated my expectations with the J rospeet i f laincaster l)i?trict making so j noch -more cotton and produce, that we j l\ <iii 1 lii rdiniiflliul In I?mi ?. ?? ri.ti.l ??

We have heretofore been trying to make , i Railroad connection w ith aome other { mint that hnd railroad facilities. They | eemed to think that they might Miller j lome detriment by the extension of n road j ibove them, and that we must put "oar i >\vn shoulders to the wheule and not call on I lerculese, leastwise they (llercul?se)might j ut their own throats." I am now proud I lint we have entered 1 nto a contract with a highmiuded people J md n nection of country from which they nn hiiHer no detriment, nnd I hope before hree yenr* that we will be more perHonully leqiiiiinted und more intimately a>*orutied kith those people to whom I have alluded. I have but one, nnd the lust remark to j uake about publishing Iki* letter then I ' uive done. I want to remind the people j if Lnncnater District of one fact which is his : that every young man that leaves mr District and has railroad cominunica- | ions, when lie returns to pty ? visit to i lis friends nnd nntive District, he asks the ! [ivestion why do you not build a Kail ; toad. J. A. C. Murfrf.bboro', Tenn. Aug. 'J5, 18."W i >ol. Joseph A Cunningham, i ItiincAHterviile, S. C.

And I nee no enaon why capitalist* in Charleston iniglit lot aid you, aa all the trade of your road could certainly go to Clnirleaton, free front ny inlluenno of competing marketa. The ine indicated ia longer I know tliun to yfiindcn or Chester; but the ground in nore favorable to cheap construction thin ither of tlioae route*, which together with he aid from the N K Road and from Chareston, w ould, in my opinion, make it at nee the cheaper and morn desirable route, rake it you please the route between the L#ynohe'a Creek*, which is nhout the right i lirection, and you will tind the gr.id* a very n*y one with plenty of timber of the bent ' und to answer all neeainl purpose, tuif. | on through n section of couniry capable | >f giving much valuable patronage to the ond.

If it should be dueuied advisetie to extend your road to Charlotte, you J night shorten it a little and gel more faorablc ground for it by running it a few nile* ea?t of the Village, near tiie line of i he Rock River road being for the most art a ridge route with few stream* to cross, nd consequently but little bridging to do.

I shall be glad to see the rond built no matter what route may be selected for it : for it can't pass tluvugh llto District in any direction with- ' out doing much good.
