no cabers of tf>e I.KtwFK. We have, how
ever, seeuie-l tlx- servicesof an accomplished
gentleman who will officiate for us in
our absence
Special.
During the absence of the Kditor, it will
be our earnest endeavor to make ihe Ledger
as interesting to its readeis ns w? possibly
can ; but being n neopbitc in the business
of catering for the public liiste, we
doubt not but that our success will not be
proportionate to our endeavor. IVe therefore,
ask the indulgence of those concerned,
and hope that all errors w hoi her of cummission
or omission, will be everlooked.
The Survey.
We learn from a reliable source, that the
surveyors of the Central Kail Ilond will
commence their work at Charlotte on Monday

Col. Orr's Letter.
We publish a letter from Col. Orr, declining
to become n candidate for the Legislature,
iu which he gives his views upon the
polities of the day. We do not ngree with
him in full, but on the whole it is very
good. We suppose he will give his views
at length on the 9th inst , at Willinmston
of which the readers of the Ledoer wilt h<?

Sale-Day.
Our Town presented a more lively np
penruueo on Monday than ordinary; this

are becoming matters of very seldom occurrence
in our District, but few sales having
been tuudo during the past six months?
such a healthy state of affairs apeak remarkably

of the people of onr District.

Charleston Trade
We ask attention to an advertisement
from many of the leading w hohsale and
jobbing Mercantile Houses in Charleston,
in to day's paper. They linve been preparing
for, and expect to receive from the
Southern Slabs, the sumo liberal trade extended

We learn, through a private source, thst
Charleston is at this time, perfectly healthy;
entirely free from fever, or febrile tendencies,
and witli every prospect of its continuing

The Central R R. of South Carolina
has now assumed n name nnd place among
the projected railroads of South Carolina, !
nnd it* Importance is so striking, that its I
success must he regarded as fixed nod certain.
By this ror.rf the two great points of
commercial interest, Charlotte. N. C., and
Charleston, S. C , wili be brought into imniedinte
proximity. Charlotte, for Its railroad
connections and its position is noxy
and ever will be the grout inland town of
North Curoiina, and from its dose and intimate
connection with Charleston, by the ;
Centrnl R. R., must nnd will increase in

The name 'Central Rail Road' linn been
well applied, ar.d when we look at the map
nnd see the Jueuiion of the rond.it inn matter
of surprise, thai the rond has not been
hiiill before this lime. K*ilro?d* at tint,
however, were built for local convenience, |
nnd not so much for the interest of the
country at large. The process has been
nn iofarteJ one. Our thoroughfares or ,
roads to market, eailvd the market rond, |
? were located ae eonnccting Jinks and the (
commerce of neighborhoods was met by
the"county roeda. Such in the end will (
be tho policy iu constructing railroads.?
Important points must be connect*?} by the

Darlington Southerner,) who was confined 1
| in our Jail, on a charge of negro stealing, 1
made his escape from prison on Saturday '
night last. Wo learn that lie had bored '
out a square of near two feet, under one '
of the windows with an auger; then broke '
off one of the cross-bars in bis way, with 1
which, he made a hole in the brick wall, '
large enough to escape. '
We learn. (says the South Carolinian,)
that there is to he n largo political meeting
at Williiuneton on the 9th ilist. Col A?hmore
and Col Orr will hnih -m.1 >?
arc* informed will both urge disunion as the | .
p diey for the South, should l.iiieo'n !??? elected.
We believe that the public sentiment
of the State is almost unanimous in
support of this policy. It would no longer
be safe to entrust the destinies of the South 1
in a Union where its popular majority favors
the hostile and aggressive ideas of the ?
Republican party. ?
It is confidently stated that no Del! and

at tins season ; ami to the many regrets |
connected with that fact, is to be added
the inability to unite with my Democrat (
ic neighbour in declaring our acceptance
of the ticket which is the fair exponent of 1
I our poiittcal faith. Though we can not | 1
but lament (hat in a general convention I
Democratic delegates denied articles ol I '
our creed so essential as to produce rJi I i
vision, it is a mutter of congratulation <
that our party had enough of vitality to <
bear amputation, and adliearing to fun

harmony ; but when it became manifest '
that the organizitioti, and consequent li
power of the party, could onlv be main I

To admit that our property is not en- '
titled to receive from the General Gov* em
men t such protection na it affords to t
the prope. ty of other 'sections, is to con o
tent to lie degraded l>e!ow our fellows.?

otherwise than that all persons, or
any person, outside the Slate are embraced
in the Act, nnd that the word merchandise

Again, I think it an in?ull to, and .111 imposition
upon our law.abiding friends of
North Carolina and Virginia, to impose upj
on them the necessity of paying u licence

i upon building it, and will make applica
lion to the Legislature for that purpose
1 at in next session. It Strikes ?ne, sir, that

lunataly complicated. We are all advo'
cates for internal iuprovements. We want
i to see every resource of our chcrieliod

may t lib tlte very best intentions over

do that tiling n< w.
If we know ourselves sir, we are not
enemies (jter sc) to the Cade's Koad. If
! the good peoj>ie in tfiat section of our
Lhallict wisii it, if they think it will pay
| them, and improve their section, we aie
: perfectly willing they should build it. It
i is only so fur as it embarrasses the pros'
peel of the ."outh Carolina Central, that
i we have one word to say. If the friends
; of thai road will postpotio tbeir appliesj
lion for a charter, until session after next
1 of the Legislature, it will all be right,
and both roads may gel their charters
| and the aid of the State, but one charter
( at a I mo is as much as the Represents
; lives of our section of the State will be
| able to push through.
We can see no uoccssity for pressing
this matter so strenuously, there is am
, pie time for action. The friends of the
Cade road, can build their road by the
time the Cen'ral is done ami start next
' year. Their road we are informed, is not
t more than twen y live or thirty miles
j long, at fa ft hers I, and runs ovur an al
