Un last Monday morning some of the ritiMns of the town of Anderson who are opposed to the Saran nah Valley Railroad railed a mealing in the Court House to dls ,-uiw the subject, aud Col. J. N. Urown was called to the ohair. On assuming the chair Col. Brown stated that the meetlvg had been called to consider the subject of taxing (he people to build the Savannah Valley Railroad, by some of the citizens (who arc opposed to the nieost're. That it was in tended to discuss the subject so as to call the attention of the people to the subject so us to enable them to moke up their minds upon it, and to initiate thought which would fully advise the people. He then declared the meeting ready for business, after which J. L. Tribble, Esq., was elected Secretary. O. H. P. Faut, Esq., then offered the fol lowing resolutions, which were seconded hy Cant. W. S. Shame : Resolved, That lt is the sense of this meet ing that the incurring a large bonded debt at this time to aid in tits construction of thc Havannah Valley Railroad tx unwise, and would be Injurious to the material int rest* and prosperity of County. Resolved, lliat the policy of incurring bonded bebt for our towns, cities and coun ties, entailing high taxes, should not be resorted to except in cases where it is evi dent beyond the contingency of a doubt, that the benefits to be derived hom it will amply compensate the outlay. Resolved, That tho material interests and prosperity of the County demand a low rate lr tijation and s return te tbs economical polioy of our government and peoplo in ante-bellum days. Col. Bucker suggested that thc resolutions ^ voted upon by. sections, whereupon tho that resolution was read. Capt. S. M. Pegg stated that he would like to hear the reason for the resolution. Col. Brown said th~? ho opposed the road, und favored the resolntlou, because he was opposed to debt. He did not Uko debts as Counties, towna or individuals. They are bad tilings. It ia easy enough to get into debt, but it is hard to get out of it. This road proposes to put a debt on the people without giving any adequate return. He did not believe if tho amount asked was voted from the town and township:), that it would not complete the road, and if it was completed that it would not pay the expense of running it, and if it did pay it would bo a disadvantage to the town. Tho connection with Augusta would take from us our trade from a large section of coun try. The roads we now have do not pay. The South Carolina road is on the verge ot bankruptcy. Tho Wilmington, Columbia A Augusta road is in the hands of a re ceiver, the Charlotte road ls greatly em barrassed, the Air Line Road has been sold out, and the Greenville & Columbia road cannot pay the interest ou its bonded debt. The Savannah Valley road wonld not bean exception. Its prospects would even bc worse than these ethers, because 't/i territo ry would be circumscribed by the ?reen vi Ile & Columbia, the Greenwood, th?. Air Lin? and the boats on the Savannah river. Il built, it would not do OM any good, beean* freights are*as cheap or cheaper at Centra! than they are in Augusta, and yet they tali about building a road to Augusta to gel cheap freights. This is a peculiar time Money is scarce, and if the bonds were is sued they would sell very low. Green viii? and Siiartanbnrg honda sold at about 5: cents on the dollar, and th?* is about wbal those bonds would bring if thrown on th< market. He believed that If tho pooph voted the subscription they would have.tr, pay the tax and then not get any railroad At the conclusion of Col. Brown's speed Mr. J. E. Breazenle asked him several quea tiona with a view of developing the subjeci more fully. Capt. Sharpe followed and opposed th? rota, because it was bcd policy and no right. He did not believe in one mai voting away another's property. He want cd to know if it was proposed to -make th I town a joint stock company and issm shares according to the taxes paid by ead man. If so, they ought to divide it on and give every man as many votes on - thi subject as he would have shares. Ho sah this movement has a wave of communiai! in it. If lt could build .the road it woufc not pay. A connection with tho Air Lin Road would be better. He objected to thi inannor of building railroads, becan>e i tras introduced by the Radicals, and be cause of the class of people who are allowa to vote for it. He did not like the prece dent. Ho did not know much about rall roads, but he thought Anderson was as wei situated as most towns, and we had bette let well enough alone. If we build thi road it will cut off oar trade- Cotton j like a duck. It will seek the nearest wate and go to Auguste? It will deproclat property, lower rents, Ac, It will add fcw hundred per cent, to our town taxes fo twenty years. Wo had better think abou it. Capital will not coma here. Th owners of personal property, banks, Ac will move ont of town, and instead o building up we will go down. Judge Reed favored the resolution, an opposed the road. He did not propose t argue it, but would givo a few reason! The road would not benefit Anderson. 1 Would build" up towns to take away nu trade. IX the road was built lt would nc pay, and in all .probability it would reaul in breaking down both itself and the Greer villa road, leaving us nothing but the dh road. He was afraid we are coming to thi anyway. We ought to tam our energies t the Blue Ridge Railroad and secare its con p?etlcn, and then build the road from bei by Abbeville and Aiken to Port Roya This would give ?he town of Anderson a Outlet which would be orofltable. Th proposed mad would not nay. because tl boats on the Savannah *>.rer would di ??ivo ii v? m great nod Of "reigni. Mun over, Congress has made an appropriate to survey the river, with s view of rendel lng it navigable, and if that should be dor it would absolutely destroy any chance < ibis road paving the running expenses. ; G Wai opposed to the town going into debt fi * road' which would not pay, and won1 like to hear the ressens of those who uin ?cato the road. Dr. P. A. Wilhlto asked several pointe ?questions, developing strong arguments fl the proposed road. Hr. E. B. Murray then announced hie self as in favor of the road, and of buiidii it hy taxation, to be voted upon by tl towns and townships through which tl road posse?. He was not In favor of voth the money unconditionally, so as to ha' ?t probably wasted by rr-wrns of Its toad ?macy ihr the purpose'to which lt is give . bat was in favor af giving it to bs cone .Honed upon tho completion of tho road, <-n some other reasonable terms. As what the bonds wonld sell st. the ta payers were not interested, for they won ^anhsrririe to get th? road, and Ihfcir. hen would nul bc subi unless enough was raised to insure the road, if they got the ros J they would then have tho article for which they bargained, a.id thc price of bond would have nothing to do with th? proprie? ty of the trade. It ?aa simply a question a? tu whether the ro?d would be worth fifty thousand dollars to the town or not. If it would, the tax ought tu be voted ; if it would not, the tax should not be voted. Ile believed lt would pay. By tito new road competition would force a reduction ol tho rates of freight over the Greenville and Columbia Railroad. The (oct that freights are high in Augusta does not show that the connection would not be a good one for Anderson, for freights- were carried tl:rough Augusta to Cluu??atcn from At lanta cheaper than to Augusta. The same would be trun of Anderson with the new road. The Savannah Valley Railroad would combine with the Georgia Road to bring freights from Atlanta and the West to A ndo?von cheaper than the Air Une and the Greenville and Columbia Road. It would combine with the Charlotte and Aug asia Road tu bring them from the North cheaper than tho Air Line and inc G. & C. This would afford us competition, which would reduce our freights very ma teriully. It would pay because thc cotton, groceries, &c., which would go and come over the road would run it with economical management. It Is a better line for Ander son than the Port Royal Road, because that road wouH be of as great advantage to Ab beville as to Anderson, and would build intermediate towns also. Ile said that if | the Savannah ?B to bo made navigable this road is a necessity to Anderson, for steam boats build up towna the same as railroads, and if they should run on the river we uiust have a railroad here to give us the advantages of competition. Ile claimed ._. .......LI t-_l-- 1-1-_. J .ua. mta(ivuu TfGulU v.iiig unca ugicab u of the trade of Anderson, and save the town and county about fifteen thousand dollars in freight on cotton alone, and that <t would pay us in a great many other ways. Col. itrown replied, contending that this road could not bring back our trade, as it would net cross thc river nor tl'* Air Lin* road to get here, and that the people of | towns who have tried building railroads by taxation-os Greenville and Spartanburg were tbed of their subscriptions. Capt. A. T. Broyles next spoke, eayine; there were two things he hated-one was the Greenville Railroad, and the other was Gen. Grant. He was in favor of this road because it would give us comp?tition with tho Greenville road, which has been op pressing our people for many years. He had not heard the resolution read, but from what he had heard of it he was oppo sed to it. He bad not had the pleasure of hearing the reasons of the gentlemen favor ing it, and thought this meeting was a sur prise. It hod been called without notice on Salcday when the people of thc town were busy and not expecting it. It should take no action. It ought not to attempt to forestall public opinion. He fuvorcd a full discussion. Ho, too, was opposed to voting a subscription without guarding carefully against loss to the people. This should be done. He ked the temper of Col. Brown's opposition. Thought his propositions were fair, and was willing to discuBs them, and leave it to tho people to decide upon. He dwelt upon tho necessity for the town of | Anderson to do something to better its present condition, and urged forcible rea sons why the building of this road would benefit the town. Capt. W. D. Evins spoke next, and al though he objected to the persons who were allowed to vote, he was act willing to throw this enterprise off entirely. He thought soiucth'ng should done to build up our town, and peril.., this was the most available one which presents itself. The resolutions were then withdrawn, and tue meeting adjourned, subject to tho caU of the chairman. DEATHS, We regret to announce the death of Or. J. L.

Such being the case, the writer liss been requested to give the fac?* ss (ar as possible concerning it. Sunday morning, Masch 24th, a large bull-dog, belonging to Mr. Hiram Majors, Di?d? h'? appv?r?nco in thc immediate neighborhood of Providence Church, and during tho day and night hit In tho sur rounding community twenty or twenty-iivo doga and stock. Difference r ' ? ipinion pro Tailed ss io whether he waa really a mad dog or not. He wis confined, however, and died the following Friday. Mr. 8. J. Burrett and A. A. Bowie were bitten by this dog, but doubtless would not have been If ho had not boen molested, as be seemed to have no inclination to bite any person. I saw the dog before he was confined, and noticed signs of restlessness. He was easily disturbed hy any sound. I saw him after wards, and noticed slight jerkings of the muscles. He refused to eat, but drank water greedily, and his eyes became much inflamed. Since, that time about fifteen animais have been killed and died, rome of which seemed to be quite harmless, while others had all tho signs of real uMdness. Mr. Bowie and Barrett informed us that their dogs were friendly end remained so until hilled or died. Mr. J. A. Stevenson had three young dogs bitten, and after affected rambled about bia place and attempted to bite dif ferent members of his family before he put them up. Mr. Stevenson hos also lost three hogs on hia place, two of which received bites from a hog that had been bitten by Major's dog. Ono of tho hogs before being killed chased and bit a yearling, two hogs and attempted to do other mischief. The other cae was confined tv-fore doing any damage, and I went to see lt, Mr. Steven son ordered a bucket of water, and placed lt aa near the hog as he dared go. The hog went up to It as if Intending to drink, but the sight of the water produced several severe convulsions, accompanied with frightful squealing, attempting at the same time tc bits the backet. From the first I have been an eye witness in Biz casca, and noticed but little variation in the symptoms of each one. All seem to have difficulty in swallowing, heaviness in breathing, movement of the jaws, frothing at the mouth, and refuse to eat. Several other cases are expected, but If our citizens will use proper precautions further damage might bc prevented. J. F. ANDERSON. An Undeniable Truth.
