The telegraphic reports *tnt to a number of daily papeis, | urporling to -give ?;couuts of ! meetings and conferences with the President ; and others interested in extending the Virginia i Mill-in 1 route to Augusta, appeared so eonI elusive that the route via Spartanburg ''ad been ././v./,,/ i>n that we thought it almost useless to take any further interest in the Dialler. l$ul j recent developments have ghca us rcosou to telieve that all (hose telegra-Marere written by one and the same person, a ciurca of Spartanburg, and, as we further believe, were iu'.euded to so represent the feeling and intention of those gentlemen who, by position, wealth and itillu* ence, really control the matter, as to drive all I opposition to that route out of the competition. A few days ago Mr. "ate<, Chief Engineer if the Virginia Midland Citnpany, visited our town on a prospecting lour [fevious to commencing x survey of the route in his direction, and annul I tier of our leading cit'/ens had a very pleasant niifaiiiviirintf imiil'.iMiicit tvi?l> liim III (>r?l('t* I to know from headquarters how tlie mutter rcalI ly stool, a telegram tvn sent to lion.

We present a r>utc 1"? , miles shorter than via Spartanhtirg, ilia can be ! hii.lt e?|iia!ly as cheap per mile, i uiiningthrough I the heart of the finest cotton hell in this section | of the State, from 1 "i to "J't miles below the Air] line road, crossing all the reals now cntrolled l?y the KichiuoU'l ami ltanvillc Company, at proiiiineut points in this State, out of the probability ihai any competing rial will e-er interfere with its business, an I at last securing the same terminus, Augusta. What morj advantageous line can the Virginia Midland alopt I>. awing a straight line from Yorkxi.'e it will pass through the best Cotton section of York County and enter Cni >u County in I'iuekney township, running through the Pea ISidgc section t > near Vniou C. II ., pass out of the t.'ounty very near tVo-s Keys, from thence into I,aureus County, and through that County into Abbeville to IS rem wood, where it will meet the Augusta an I tireeuwaoil road. All we ask is that the surveys be nut Ic, feeling c oilident that the route through Union will present fully equal and, in many respects superior advantages over I lie Spai tanhiirg route. Of one thing we feel sure, the people of I"tiion will do their full duty in pushing I lie Work forward.

Mr. Iluggiusof Union was called to the chair, \V. F. McArtliur, acting as Secretary. A cotiluiittee was appointed by the chair to nominate three delegates to visit Columbia and bring the subject before the proper authorities: Messrs. Win. Jcllerie*, C. I'.
