The improvements making and projected in tho district are most gratifying. The card of i Messrs Skaiiokn ami othors in nnr columus un- j folds an enterprise of the lirst importance, and . we ask for it the consideration of those interes- I ted. The section of < mntry is delightful, and ; the site of the proposed village most beautiful. 1 The interest of the railroad and the poopio thereabout strongly recommend the location of a depot at that place. Further up, I>r Hiiktt offers for sale valuable ' property?not because it is not so, but for the j reason that lie lias more lands than, with hibusiness hore, be can improve as lie desires it should bo. Sec his advertisement The town ofWalhalla, with its thousand industrious and thrifty citizens, feels the impetus given to business by the advance of tho railroad. JOvory house in the place is full, and trade is | brisk and on the increase. The future is bright < for Walhalla, and \vc take pleasure in ehroni- t cling her advance and continued prosperity? The oarlv completion of the railroad to that place is a iixed fact, and it is desirable that the depot be built as near the town as the grade will permit. This seems just to those who own property there, ami who have also subscribed liberally to the <oad. We merely call attention to this lllflttor- knnwinnr tli-if llio Cmntmnv will <lr\ oil in its power to promote tho welfare of tjto whole ns fur us it is utile. The Court of Ivjuity ami the Ordinary linn ordered the sale of desirable property in and near "Wnlhalla on saloday next, liefer to the adTortisomeuts in our columns. Tho Blue Ridge Railroad From the inception of this great enterprise, it has received our aid and support. Tho reverses it has sustained has retarded the work somewhat, though wo have an abiding faith that it will bo completed at an early day. The importance of the western connection demands it; without which, our advance and prosperity will bo necessarily retarded, and the State finally return to its old system of inertness. The history of tho road thus far is well nu tier stood. The Legislature lias granted aid to put it in running order to Wullmllit, -and ^rack laying has cominenoed in earnest at Pendlotnflli ?-- "...-J&beie is no doubt but that the next Legislature will make an appropriation to continue Uio load. In the meantime, it is desirable that tne Tunnel bo worked. IIow is this to be done? No part of the appropriation made can be used beyond Walhalla. It then depends*'"tapon the people of Pickens whether operations at the tunnel continue. Will they put their shoulders to the wheel? It is certainly to their interest that the work proceed, and they have the intelligence i to see it Then let os go to work The Legislature at its recent session n.issed I I - I ju? not authorizing the Commissioners of Roads to subscribe stock, subjcct to the ratification or rejection of the people at the ballot box. This act we publish to-day and invite attention to its provisions It is iho dosirc of many that the Chairman call the lioard together on next saleday, that definite action may be had. It is also important that there bo a full meeting of citizens likewiso Distinguished speakers are ex' ?pcoted to bo present on the occasion and address me meeting ties uio menus 01 uic enterprise turn out in full force.

We have been permitted to make some extracts from a letter written hv "15.," dated Berlin, Sept. 1 Ho'.i. "On arriving liere, I took lodging* at tlie British hotel, on the world-renowned street, t'nterdon Linden?the street on which lluuiboblt lived?on j which the l uiversity stands?at iM^j-ud of which is the famous Brandenburg gnit*"^iriuounted by 1 thecar of victory, tin iminenj.c?cuvHn*t ot' copper, , drawn by four horses abreast, 1 ilpsi?.e.

The eipiestiaii statue is 17 feet high and beautifully proportioned. * * * I will tell you something more of this interesting street.

All these places being filled with people of all nations and languages, niakos it a very interesting place.

There is no confidence to he plaeed in them. They would only retire to cover, in order to recuperate their strength, ami then make a bidder rush than ever. My own opinion is. they arc now divided amongst themselves, and that party drill and party lush alone holds them together. They arc evidently taking water on the Drown raid and the Jfct/xr book. 11amMosn's words will he verified, and we. (the democrats) will beat them in lbfid, It' we are only prudent and cautious.
