ptni.d that such is the condition of .the })i*

that with abundant seasons now, an average

Wo have received several articles, ofTered
for publication, bearing upon the doctrinal
points involved in tjie notice which appear
ed ip our advertising columns, headed "a
ohnilenge." 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

accounts of deaths in that city from

unknown to any former period. 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. It is to be hoped
that the pre eminence of this week may
fiever be contested."

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

It is a pity such a good man as the Author, r

July 7th, 1M0. o
For the Lancaster LedgerMr.
Editor?Dear Sir.?Sometime
bout two years ago I received a .commit- |
licatiou from Mr. James Stogner of Mur- I
iesboro', Telin., on the subject of a Rail |
oad through Lancaster District. 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 ?? I
y it oft'. I thought last Spring we must j
uake another death struggle for the enter*
rise, and behold to our astonishment ! the 1
Siortli Kastern H. It. Company, together J
villi the noble and patriotic citizen* of can
ern Kershaw, llisliopville, Sumter and
Clarendon, onrae to our assistance in the |
'leaning time of harvest and saved i.s uu it I
vere from being isolated from the commer- J
inl world.
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 !

lot wnit to see you. I wish it had been so (
but I could have remained longer, to talk j

would like it tnocli if j ou could succeed ,
nd get u doner connection with Churl**- J
on for old l*Aiicnatcr. She need* it and if
lie people will go into it in the right *pirit
nd with an energy worthy of the interests
revolved, it can bo done. If you canoot I
[et it to Camden, I would suggest to try !
nd make a connection with the North Kan*
crn Road at Florence, 'i'bnt road will no
loubt help you, a* your road would be a J
nluable feeder to their*. 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. While their lands would be largely
nhunted in value froin the road lunning
hrough them If more desirable, a route
enving both the aforesuid creeks, uiay bo
ound favorable to the iocs lion of the road,
ind which w ould enlist the Hanging Rock
uid Liberty Hill people ne it would run j
tear enough lo them to accommodate their '
vunta, and warrjifit them in taking iihernl
hares of the slock) ind in doing a good
leal of tho work, of grading, furnishing :
i in be r die. 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.
'he*? arc suggestions thrown out by way
f inviting investigation, and to attract tho
attention of those immediately and most interested
ill the enterprise. 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.
I did not intend nor expect when I began
this letter to extend it to so great a length, ;
nor did I intend it for publication ; but the {
ideas suggested in it are at jour service in ;
such a manner as you may see tit to use !

them. I am truly your friend,

These two brick buildings stopped tbe

From tho Camden JourralThe
Rail Road Fixed.
We had tlie plcasuie of mooting again, '
oil Thursday evening last, Mr. W. M. 1
Connors, and others of the Lancaster del- I*
egalion on their way hack from the Sum 1
l?r Convention, from whom we learned *
in advance of the publication ot the pro- ^
ceeditigs, which we have since received '
from an extra ol the tri weekly Watch.- 1
that the Rail lioad had been fixed, '
and Camden left out?of course?of the , 4
line. I '
This whs to bo expected. Rail Road 1
matters with us tiMve been miserably 1
managed, end wo are not surprised nt '
the result *
The people of Lancaster have exhibi- '
ted n zeal and persevering energy worthy 1
of all commendation, and we congratu
late them, in good faith, upon the pros- I
peel which they have so encouragingly 1
before them, of ultimately having a Rail (
Koad connexion wiui the no* board and (
the rest of mankind. Lancaster has ac (
led through her representatives at Sum- (
ter, just as v^e w^ujd have done had our's
been their position. With them it was a s
good opportunity to get a Rail Road ?
they s ued the chance and did right?? (
Six hundred and lofty one thousand ?lol ^
lars, and upwards, have been subscribed, '
ami the prospect of lite amount likely to
be raised is, that eight hundred thousand |
will soon 1>?* obtained. W'th this, exne ' 1
