SUPPLEMENT to tue ^iikrs?n Intelligenter. The Bine Ridge Railroad. Thcro is no question of graver impor? tance in all its bearings than the comple? tion of this great highway, which is des? tined to connect tho cities of the West with our own city by the sea. For more than thirty years the problem of its con? struction has agitated tho best intellects of South Carolina, and Btcp by stop the work has been carried forward until a point is reached which renders it abso? lutely necessary to finish what was so auspiciously begun, or sacrifice at one swoop all that has been invested in the enterprise. Tho total amount thus far expended, in round numbers, is S3,250, 00U, with which sum the road has been completed, and is in running order to Walhalla, whilo moro than half of the tunneling and grading for the remaining distance to Kaoxviilu has likewiso been performed. With a desiro to perfect the scheme the special session of the General Assembly of 1*68 pledged the faith and funds of the State to the punctual pay? ment of such additional bonds as might bo issued by the Blue Ridgo Railroad to an amount amply sufficient to cover the cost of completion?say four millions of dollars. Governor Scott, we learn, is en route to Cincinnati, to mske an arrangement unions the capitalists of the West, with tho view of pushing lorward tho work from that end of the line, and to secure tho capital which it is believed has been awaiting investment in this enterprise. The road has recently been ro-sjivoyed by its engineers, Colonel Lowcard Major Lee, and the report mado by liiem as to its condition is eminently encouraging. Nothing therefore remains to be done, but to go to work; and the people of South Carolina, and especially tho citizens of Charleston, are called upon to do their share of the duty. Tho wisest financial policy suggests that this dut& should be performed promptly. Already 'the Com? pany owns seventy thousand act es of land along the route, and have the promise of three hundred thousand acres more, as soon as the work is fairly resumed. With the opening of the road this immense bod}' of land will necessarily attract thousands of emigrants, and in the settle? ments they will establish, the manufac? tories they will erect, tho water power they will developo. the mines they will open, and the stock farms they will create, wo as a community will enjoy the fatness of a region of country rich in its resour? ces which has hitherto been as a scaled book. Aside from this, the exports of the great West, such .as corn, wheat, flour, bacon, lard, tobacco, whiskey, lime, salt, mules and cattle, which now And an out? let through New York and Baltimoro on tho one hand, and Mobile and New Orleans on the other, will naturally seek the shortest route to tho sea across the mountains. Again, Charleston must become not only the gate-way through which the1 West will supply the markets of the globe with her produce, but through which it will receive in return the wealth of dis? tant peoples, for tho Western importer well understands the economy in time and freights that would result from the opening of this direct highway to the out? side world. Charleston now possesses one of the most available harbors on the Southern coast between Norfolk and New Orleans, and it requires no far-seeing eye to discern a future in which, with the opening of tho Blue Ridge Railroad through to Kaoxville and Cincinnati, our city will beco;ne not merely a most im? portant railroad point of distribution, but a gathering spot for ships from every quarter of the globe, assembled to ex? change the products of other climes for those of the United States. These arc facts well appreciated by our cap talists, and they should be more fully impressed upon the representatives of ev? ery department of trade, because all will alike enjoy tho benefits destined to follow the early completion of this Blue Ridge Railroad. It is to be borne in mind, how? ever, that unt.il our own people speak with emphasis and furnish practical proof of their interest in tho work, neither Cin? cinnati, nor Knoxvillo, nor Louisville, nor Chicago, nor St. Louis, will put their hands in their pockets and supply the capital required. Who among our citi? zens will move first in this undertaking? Among all the schemes of tho hour to which men arc bending their attention, is there ono so important in its every aspect as this? Is there one which promises a more abundant reward in the shape of material commercial progress and local wealth ? The matter is of such stirring importance that the press of the State should lift its voice with one accord and nrgo every community to aid in pushing forward with all practicable speed, the construction of this great national high? way. President Harrison, and the Board of Directors, are quietly but energetically doing all that lies in their power, but without something like a show of inter? est and of co operation in South Carolina, *nd more especially in Charleston, not only will delay result, but in the end?for this road will be built?the immenso in? terest involved will pass out of our con? trol into the hands of more active, ener? getic and far seeing communities.?Char? leston Courier. Pkkttv Goon.?When Sheridan'? fresh thousands were cutting through and har? rassing the line of that terrible retreat from Petersburg to Appottomax Court House, they captured BobII-, a veteran cavalryman, an ingrain, dyed in the wool tar heel. Bob was handed over to the care of a dapper New York sergeant, and together they went to the rear, passing long, almost interminable lines of Grant's wagon train. Each strong well kept wag? on bore the huge letters TJ. S., and Bob stared so intently thereat as to excite the curiosity of his cap*.or. "What are you staring at, Johnny Reb!" Jie inquired. "Never seen so many wag? ons before ? Say!" "Wal, I was just a thtnkin," Bob replied dryly. "A thinking wot? say !' "Wal, I was thinking you'uns is got most as many of them 'eri? wagons,mark? ed U. S. as we'uns has.''?Mobile licjistcr. late and Thick Planting of Cotton. Editors Southern Cultivator:?Every thing; in regard to the preparation and cultivation of tho cotton plant that has emanated from the pen of Mr. Dickson,is in the writer's opinion perfect, except his J fate plan ting and the crowding of the plants, j The writer has pursued precisely the same mode of making cotton fur filteen years ?long before he heard of Mr. Dickson, and has rarely ever failed to mako satis? factory crops; the only difference being in tho size of the sweeps?the largest size he mentions are 22 inches. The writer uses them from 30 to 36 inches, which do precisely the same kind of work but more of it, in a given time, and consequently abridges labor, and lessens the horse pow? er?the extra draught is a matter of lit? tle consequence. The great error among planters in using these mammoth sweeps is, thai, they are not properly made, or if they are, ihey are not properly sot on the plow-stoclc. They must 'ruh flat, and never exceed one inch in depth." If they go deeper, the mule will be used up. It properly made, and proper!}' adjusted on the stock, they are a sine qua non. They abridge labor, lessen horse-power at least one-third, and last but not least, the roots of tho crops are uncut. They arc to this country what the sulky plow is to the prairie of the West. By the general use of these plows, w hat a wonderful refor? mation thero would be, in lessening the number of* mules and horses now requir? ed. In 1860 the writer produced with 10 mules. 184 bales of cotton and 4,000 bush? els of corn. The rub in this system is to prepare the land, and the only way in which it can be done, is to commence in October, and plow every day through the winter, when, the land is in order, till planting lime, or buy extra stock to pre? pare, and sell off alter planling. I did not intend to say so much about this plow, but I notice that planters object to them in writing ot Mr. JDickson's plan. Mr. Dickson plants cotton as late as the 10th of May. If from necessity, noth? ing would be said, but the presumption is, that this is, iu his opinion, a proper'lime, as he is always up with his work. In the belt of country iu which Mr. 1). plants, and which he considers the home of the cotton plant, it is strange that he plants at this late day. The fact that he makes prodigious crops, planted then, proves nothing. It is an axiom in the vegetable kingdom that tho longer any plant is growing, the heavier it. fruits. Corn, cot? ton or any other crop planted Into has a tendency lo produce stalk, with little fruit. Early planted cotton acquires a size and stamina which it can never attain if plumed late. The writer can, in the dark, in the month of August, go into a cotton field and distinguish sta'ks that are planted first of April and the 10th of May, (if neither have been crowded.) Mr. i>. makes his cotton rows four feet wide,and leaves the cotton 8 or 9 inches apart, and from two or three stalks in a hill. This is one to every three inches. Mr. I), makes wonderful crops, but it cannot be attributed to this crowding. Why make the rows so wide?and leave the plant so thick in the drill ? There is nothing in tho structure of tho plant that requires this jdifferenco in ono way and the other. There is no reason why cotton or any other crop should bo planted wider one way than another, except that it facili? tates the cultivation. Mr. D. says the strongest reason for this thick planting, is that it matures earlier. So far so good, but does it yield more? Mr. D. dwarfs the plant to accelerate its maturity. If the plant is at home, why uso artificial means to make it mature? Why not give it ample room for its full develop? ment? I can sec no good reason for crowd? ing the plant?it retards the culture, be? cause there are so many more stalks lo adjust, the bolls are necessarily smaller, and consequently the picking is less?the staple is not so good, becauso it has not the full benefit of the sun, to elaborate its juices. Respectfully, J. W. Crawford. Cold Spring, Pickens Co,, S. C. -. Tue History ok the Tune of "Dixie." ?The Memphis Post tells this story of "Dixie:" "In the first place, the song and chorus of 'Dixie' was composed and arranged by Dan Emmet, a member of a travelling minstrel party, who whilcat Mobile in the winter of 1847-48, heard some negro la? borers singing on the levee while loading a steamboat with cotton. The thought struck Dan that, with a little change of measure it could be made a good song and 'walk around,' which generally winds up a negro minstrel concert. Dan arranged it and produced it. It beratne a success, and was Ring and played all over the country by all the bands. "In the spring of 1861, Mrs. John Wood i came to New Orleans to play an engage? ment at Varieties Theatre. During the time she appeared in Brougham's burlesque of Pocahontns. At the first rehearsal of the piece everything went well until near the close of the second act; Tom McDonough, (now agent for Letting well,) the prompter, got up a Zouave inarch and drill by twenty-1 two ladies, led by Sus.au Denin. Every? thing ran smooth, but the music for the march could not be fixed upon. Callo Patti was leader of the orchestra, and he tried several marches, but none suited McDonough?one was too slow, another was too tame, another not enough spirit. At length Patti struck up the negro air of 'Dixie.' "That will do, Patti?the very thing," said Tom, and 'Dixie' was played, and the march gone through with, and the chorus by all the characters. At night it received a double encore, and Pocahontas had a 'run,' and from that time out the streets and parlors rang with 'Dixie.' Tho war broke out that spring, and the mili? tary bands took it up, and 'Dixie' became to the South what the Marsellaise Hymn was to the French. And that's how 'Dixie' became the popular war song of the South." ? When a man accuses the sidewalk of trying to throw him into the street and wet his clothes, he may be suspected of having previously wet his own whistle. ? Mr. Muggins says there is no country in the world where wives are more wor? shipped than in France. lie regrets, how? ever, that all the admiration comes from somebody else's husband. ? A number of exchanges are in favor of a premium on crow scalps. We object. The premium on black is too confounded high already. The people can't stand more of it. Direct Railroad Connection with Cincin? nati and the Great Lakes. The Legislature of Ohio has granted authority to the city of Cincinnati to raise, by loan or otherwise, the sum ot ten millions of dollars, for the purpose of constructing a "Southern" Road, or Roads, which will effect a close and friendly connection be? tween Cincinnati and the South, and the whole Southern system of Railroads. It is understood that the two objective points to be reached arc Kuoxville, Tennessee, and Decatur, Alabama. This action of the j Legislature is equivalent to securing an enterprise which, besides opening to Cin? cinnati the extensive, fertile regions of) Kentucky and Tennessee now inaccessible and remote, will command directly and develop greatly a trade which Cincinnati now only gets indirectly and expensively through Baltimore or circuitously and in a very small measure by the navigation of the Ohio and the Mississippi. This enter? prise will form the commanding line be? tween the trade of the great lakes and the South and at no distant day be the great highway for Cuban and South American tr'iftic in iutertropical products which can now only be supplied by Baltimore and New York, and which now goes to make up no inconsiderable portion of the com? merce of those great cities. The distance from Cincinnati to Baltimore by the pres? ent railway connections is greater than by the proposed linos to Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah, as any one may as certain by describing upon the map a cir? cle whose centre shall be Cincinnati, hav? ing a radius equal to t he distance ot Balli more. We regard this as the most important ot railroad enterprises for the development of the South. Of course Cincinnati will be the great railroad centre, the entrepot for trade and commerce between the great Lakes and the Southern Atlantic coast and the Gulf. But its benefits to us will be immense. Our trade with the West will be direct, and will be greatly developed. Now it is better to go to Baltimore for Ohio lai d and bacon, and to Boston for starch and Boston crackers made from Ohio wheat, than to Cincinnati simply be? cause we are debarred by slow, circuitous routes and excessive rates in transporta? tion. For the same reason it is better to supply Cincinnati with cotton, yarns and sheetings and shirtings through New York and Philadelphia. For the want of just such railroad conneections with the West nearly the whole of the domestic com? merce which naturally now directly be? tween the Sou*h and the West, is transpor? ted double the distance and made subject to the control and the manipulation of Eastern brokers and speculators as middle? men. The completion of the enterprise now set on foot in Cincinnati will be the dawn of a magnificent prosperity for the South and increase that of the West in the de? velopment of her manufacturing indus? tries.? Chronicle and Sentinel. ? . - - A Real Heuo?A Scexkat Sea.?Two weeks ago, on board an English steamer, a little ragged hoy, aged nine years, was discovered on the fourth da}' of the out? ward voyago from Liverpool to New York, and carried before the first mate, whoso duty it was to deal with such ca? ses. When questioned as to the object of his being stowed away, and who brought him on board, the boy, who hail a beat ti ful sunny face, and eyes that looked like the very mirrors of truth, replied that his stepfather did it, because he could not af? ford to keep him, nor to pay his passage out to Halifax, where he had'an aunt who was well off, and to whose house he was going. The mate did not believe the story, spile of tho winning face and truthful ac? cents of tho boy. He had seen too much of stowaways to be easily deceived by them, ho said; and it was his firm convic? tion that tho boy had been brought on board and provided with food by the sail? ors. Tho little fellow was very roughly handled in consequence. Hay by day he was questioned and rcqiioslioiicd, but al? ways with the saino result. He did not know a sailor on board, and his father alone had secreted him, and given him the food which he ate. At last the mate, wearied by the boy's persistence in tho same story, and per? haps a little anxious to inculpate the sail? ors, seized him one day by the collar, and, dragging him to tho fore, told him that unless he confessed the truth in ten min? utes from that time he would hang him to the yard arm. He then made hi in sit down under it on the deck. All around hi in were the passengers and sailors of the midday watch, and in front of him stood the inexorable mate, with his chro? nometer in his hand, and the officers of tho ship by his side. It was tin; finest sight, said our informant, that we had ev? er beheld?to see the pale, proud.sorrow? ful face of that noble hoy, his head erect, his beautiful eyes bright through the teal's that suffused them. When eight minutes had fled the mate told him he had hut two minutes to live, and advised him to speak the truth and save his life; but he replied, with the utmost simplicity and sincerity, by asking tho mate if he might pray. The mate said nothing, but hooded his head anil turned as pale as a ghost, and shook with trembling liko a reed with the wind. And there, all oves turned on him, this brave and noble little fellow, this poor1 waif whom society owned not, and whose own stepfather could not care for him? there he knelt, with clasped hands and eyes upraised to heaven, while he repeat? ed audibly the Lord's Prayer, and prayed tho dear Lord Jesus to take him to Heav? en. Our informant adds that there then oc? curred a scene as ol Pentecost. Sobs broke from strong, hard hearts, as the mate sprang forward to tho boy and clasp? ed him to his bosom, and kissed him and blessed him, and told him how sincerely ho now believed his story, and how glad no was that ho hail beon brave enough to face death und be willing to sacrifice his life for the truth of his own word.?New York Sun. --<v ?
