Wo have been furnished with a manuscript ?opy of the proceedings of the Railroad meeting at Blairsville, Oa., but had already taken thorn from the Georgian. Wo failed to recoivo the proceedings of the previous meet ing altogether, lienco this explanation. The Cotirt of Equity, For tho fifth Circuit, is in session this week at Edgofiold, Chancellor AVauui aw presiding. T ho docket for that district contains ninety causes, besides petitions. Tho Court will convene at this placo ou Monday the5th day of July next. Death of an Aged Citizen. "Wo regret to learn that Mr. Sarufnt Orif riy, an aged citizen of our district, died ?t his residence on Monday last, of the prevailing disease?llux. lie was a man of noble mien, scrupulously honest, and a good neighbor. lie lived through fourscore years, attached to himself many fricr Is, and then sunk peacefully into tho grave. Workmen for the Tnnnel. Messrs. IIuMuiun, Hitchcock ?fc Co., con. tractors at the Stumphouse Tunnel, have added, during the last few days, over one hun" drod men to their working force. Tho number of persons employed on " the Ilill" is now estimated at between five and six hundred, principally Irishmen; and, for their usually boisterous nature, good order is well maintained. It will bo a source of much gratification to the friends of this enterprise to learn that tliCBO gentlemen are making satisfactory progress, and can demonstrate, with almost mathematical precision, the time of completion. The work on the lino, gcnorally, is pushed forward by both engiueera and contractors with commendable zeal and very flattering success. Apples, &o. "Wo liavo been presented by Col. M. M. Nortov with a couplo of apples in a perfect Btato?one, a Seedling of the previous yerir'e growth; tlio other, a Juno applo just matured. This is a practical exemplification of what might 1)0 enjoyed by us nil, with a littlo labor and care, and wo prosa this view of nutiinr AH lie also handed us sonio weoks ago a remarkably largo strawberry, of the llautbois variety, taken from his gardeu. The season has boon a favorable one for this fruit, and to the Colonel's housohold we are largely indebted for our enjoyment in this way. It is a matter of surnriso that. wIiava nnr nlimnfn is so dcstructivo to fruit generally, this berry is so much noglcctcil, especially when the difficulties attending its production are not by any means great. For these,and other kind remembrances from tho same sourco, we return our thanks. Saleday. There were not many persons in attendance on Monday. Several tracts of land were anlf) Iw i\\ts Klirn'ifY* nf nl-wMit ?utm1 A mooting of the friends of the Cashier Valley Turnpike was held in the Court House. It was well attended, with the right spirit actuating those interested. The sum of $2,200 has beon subscribed at this place, and moro can be obtained if it is wanting. Wo trust the friends of the enterprise, at other points, will act promptly, and thereby secure an early organization of the Company. See tlie official proceedings in another column. Wo were, it appears, similarly situated with our neighbor Of the Anderson Gazette on Monday.

Si.o.vx, to connect Greenville via the i French lJrorul with Cashier Valley, N. C. and Tunnel Hill, in this district, by turnpike.? Much of the roivl, between Greonvillo and Cashier Valley, is now completed. From the latter point, to the Tunnel, the work goes bravely on under the direction of Mr. W. L. Si.oan, tlio cfTtcicnt contractor. Over tour miles of the eighteen havo been finished, and a large forco is constantly employed on the work by this Company. A notico also appears incur columns for n charter for an cxtonsion of this lino to Tugaloo, ami ultimately to Clarkcsvillc, GaThe importance of this project cannot bo too highly estimated. The energy and industry of the people of thoso mountainous regions have been cramped and neutralized for the want of outlets for their trade and traffic; and, for summer travel and delightful relaxation from business, there is i>) route that can favorably compare with it. Wc have only time and spaco to say this much at present on the subject, with a strong oommcmlattoii of fclto cncnrptisc OXprwHSCd tO those who arc interested in its success. Let us have a "long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether," for the Blue Ridge turnpike ! News of the Week. Congress has changed their day of adjournment from the 7th to Thursday last the 10th. So far no important legislation engrosses the attention of that hodv. The war feeline is J o ? rmining high at Washington. The outbreak and utter disregard of law and order, which has occurred in New Orleans, is a disgraec to a free aud enlightened people. The assumption of authority, by ir" responsible persons, is to remove all security and protection to life aud property. >Ve only haVO the telegraphic accounts, which aro not very intelligible. Further particulars may roach us during next week. Hon. J. pincknky IIkndersok, Sonntor in Congress from Texas, died at Washington on the 4th, of consumption. It wa6 his firrft?e?- | eion at Washington, where ho had already | attained a high position. The funeral cere" monies took place on Saturday. A lio outrages on American vessels continue, with, it is reported, the loss of life in one instance. It is also rumored that orders coun- ] termanding the overhauling aud search of our vessels at sea have been sent out by the British minister at Washington. Nothing definite, therefore, is known as to the reliability of either. Tho next arrival from Englaud will give us the determination of tho British government, aud that will mark out the course for us to pursue. If blood, howevert has been spilled, wo do not woll see how a collision between the two countries can be avoided. A r?..- *~r- .?* acmriuuMj me onaracter ot events, either for war or continued p?ace.? The former we should be compelled to regard as a calamity, but not bo great as the loss of our property and honor. A mooting of the friends of tho Air Line Railroad was hold at Anderson on Monday last. Three hundres shares of one hundred dollars each were subscribed. A c.nmmiHnn was appointed to obtain farther subscriptions An adjourned meeting will tako place on saleday in Jtdy next. Arrivals from Liverpool advise us of a decline of an l-8d in cotton. Corn has also declined, and breadstufl's ar<> dull sale. England and Naples arc preparing for war, the latter country refusing to indemnify the citizens of the former for imprisonment and loss of property: so our ancient enemy is likely to nave ner nanus lull. Advices from India state that A/.higher has been relieved, and the rebels defeated near Bullinghor. Many of the rebels were killed and five hundred taken prisoners. The British loss was seventy. Disturbances and bloodshed continue in Kansas, but it is difficult to get correet accounts. From Utah unoffioiul statements induce us to believe that trouble has commenced there iu earnest. Exchanges. The "Charleston Standard" has been discontinued, and the establishment offered for 8nlc. Political difforouces among the proprietors is the cause.
