TIIE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILRO COMl'ASY. Propositions Made by tho City Con of Augusta and the Counter Prof tion of the South Carolina Kaili Company. The following papers, which have been nished ns at our own request, for the info tion of the public, show what were the pt eitions made to and by the South Cari Railroad Company for tho settlement c differences with tho City of Augusta, in ncction with the Columbia and Augusta ] road Company. It appears to us that tho propositions jittedby the Committee of Directors of South Car .-lina Railroad Company are lit in their terms and free from all reasonable jection. We venture, therefore, to hope thal City Council of Aurusta, upon receiving report or their committee, will favorably ev tain the propositions which bave been mad them, and so solve the difficult questions wi threaten to embarrass both themselves and fc'outh Carolina Railroad Company: PROPOSITION OF THE RAILROAD COMMUTE! THE CITY COUNC'L OF ATIOOSTA. 1. The South Carolina Railroad Comp shall consent to tho use of their right of from Graniteville to Hamburg by the Colun and August * Railroad Company, and which tho Columbia and Augusta Railr Company shall pay fair compensation,. and tho event of those two roads disagreeing ai what is a fa<r compensation, then the tn J to be referred to the Superintendents or Cl Engineers of the Georgia Railroad. Macor : Augusta Railroad, and the Western < M Au tic Railroad; and in the event of the tai t rs either one or aU of the above named a:'.ii tors to act, then the City Council to name uti parties to act in the place of those who ii thus decline. This to bo done wit un months from the acceptance of this agreeme both parties agreeing to abide by the deas of said arbitrators. 2. That till the Columbia and Augu Railroad shall have completed their bric across the Savannah River, the ?South Carol; Railroad is to allow them (the Columbia a Augusta Railroad) the use of .heir bridge n track, so as to enable the Columbia and Augu; Railroad to connect with the Georgia Railrc and other railroads connecting in the city. 3. That the Columbia and Augusta Kailr: pfiall, a their own proper expense, built bridge across the Savannah River, oppos Washingl on-etieet, of sufficient width to all of two tracks, the one for themselves and t other for the use of the South Carolina Rs road, all subs ?quent repairs to be done by bc companies equally. 4. After these respective tracks shall ha crossed the bridge, then at a conveniei t poi between Bay and Reynolds streets the ti roads sball unite on a common track, at th? mutual expense; tbeu use one track till cc nee ted with the street railroad track, wi which company they are to arrange for passii over their track on Washington-street, co necting with the Georgia Railroad passoug depot. 5th. With a view to harmonize the conti ic t ii interest of the Columbia and Augusta Riihoi and tho South Carolina Railroad, the Ci Council propose to waive all back claims again the ?outh Carolina Railroad Company. Clair arising from non-compliance on their part wi their contracts with the city, piovided that f the future they and all other railroads ente ing tho city will bc held to a rigid accountabi ty for forfeiture of contracts. 6. All litigation to cease. 7. *"he Sou h Carolina Railroad shall relii q ai.-ii and surrender all claim of rights or pm legos which tbey might insist upon nuder tl rosolution of the City Cou-, cit of Augusta, pas ed on the 18th day of December, '18Gi, ac commonly known as tho Heard resolution. JAMIES T. GARDINER. Chairman Kauxoao committee J. V. ll. ALLEN. JOHN H. MEYER. Wai. H. GOODRICH. Augusta, April 9,1869. COUNTER PROPOSITION OF THE COMMITTEE O DIRECTORS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAH ROAD COMPANY. To Messrs J. T. Gardiner, Chairman; Wrig/u Allen, Goodrich and Meyer, Committee o< the City Council of Augusta : GENTLEMEN-The Committee of the Sont! Carolina Railroad Company decline, with re gret, the plan proposed by the Committee o the City Council of Augusta for settling th difficulties arising out of tho construction c the Columbia anti Augusta Railroad. The relations between the company they rc present and the City of Augusta are cf an an cient date, and have always been of tho raosl friendly character, and the best dispositiot prevails on the part of the South Carolina Rail? road to maintain those relations unimpaired They assure the committee from Augusta tba the company have always been in th > bobe that their several contracts with the City o Augusta have always been fulfilled by thc company in a manner entirely satisfactory tc the City Council. Ko claims for violation: thereof have ever been made on them, and thu committee cannot admit that such claims ex? ist, or consent to make them the subject of ne? gotiation. They believe the matters in dispute can bc simplified, and that, as lar as the City of Au? gusta ia concerned, they may be easily and promptly settled. Between them and the South Carolina Rail? road the only matter in debate is th* repay? ment of the "sut scription made by the South Carolina Railroad to tbe capital stock of the Macon Railroad, according to the r?solution ol the City Council, of eighteenth December, eighteen hundred and sixty-one. The consid? eration received therefor by this company is the exclusive right of connecting with other railroads in the City of Augusta; no other railroad from Charleston or Columbia, under the resolution of the City Council, can be ad? mitted to tbe enjoyment of this privilege with? out first tondering to the South Cat olma Rail? road the repayment of the said subscription and the interest thereon. The city now desire to accord this privilege to tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad Company. The South Car? olina Railroad will meet this proposal in a spirit of liberality and of friendship. Instead of insisting upon the return of the entire sum of their subscription and of the interest thereon, as provided in the resolution of the City Coun? cil, they offer to relinquish the exclusive en? joyment of this privilege on receiving one-half of the said sum of principal and intel est; pro? dded, that all privileges enjoyed by other rail? roads in the City of Augusta, or hereafter con? ferred on any railroad, shall be likewise ex? tended to the South Carolina Railroad. This will remove tho only impediment to the en? trance o? the Columbia and Augusta Railroad into Augusta, and settle tho only question connected therewith, in which the City of Au? gusta is directly implicated; and this commit? tee indulge the hope that it may be accepted as a separate and distinct proposition, and thus remove all cause of disquietude between the City of Augusta and this com pan v. The only matter in dispute with the Colum? bia and Augusta Railroad consists row in the uppoeitioti made by thc South Carolina Rail? road to t.'.e construction of the former road on their right of way and over their laud. Th ip opposition bas been made by the Directors of thc South Carolina Railroad from a sonso ot the duty imposed upon them by the great trust of which they are tho custodians and guar? dians. They'hope this motive will be recog? nized and admitted by tho committeo from Augusta, and tho South Carolina Railroad Company lelieved from all BOSpiciou of less worthy motives. They are willing to meet tho committee from Augusta in tho spirit that animates that committeo; and to make a sin? cero effort to compose tho differences, and put an end to tho litigation that has grown out of this opposition. It has been alleged that tho encroachments thoy oppose cause thom no damage and nu in? convenience. This is an erroneous impre ssion. If the South Carolina Railroad did not possess, in their opinion, thu right to insist upou the removal of thu track of the new road, beyond the boundaries of their lands and of their right of way. they would cheerfully pav ten thousand d liars "to effect it. In a spirit of compromise they make tho following pro? posals : 1st. They will consent to the present lino of the Columbia and Augusta Railroad traci?, on the payment of fifty thousand dollars as a cou sideration therefor, or 2d. They will leave the question of compen? sation in abeyance u.itil ino courts shall have decided what the rights of tho South Carolina j Railroad arc, and that they will leave the amount of compensation to be mado by the Columbia and Augusta Railroad to bo fixed by three competent persons, one to be solectod by each of tho two companies, and a third to be appointed by the two thus selected. The acceptance of either of these two pro? posals, and of that in relation to entering Au? gusta, will remove all hindrances out of the way, both of the City of Augusta and of tho Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and leave them free to carry all their plans into opera? tion. It is deemed bettor for tho interests of the two companies that each should enter Au? gusta upon its own track and bridge; it is against the interest and convenience of tho South Carolina Railroad to give to another company the use of its bridge and of the track in Augusta, which form its means of connec? tion with the Georgia Railroad and other rail? roads in Augusta, and they do not desire to negotiate for such an arrangement.

Preparations for Organizing thc Com puny- Appointment of a General Agent -How the Work ls tobe Done. A public mooting of tho citizens of Clarendon County was held in Manning on Monday last, to take into consideration the building of a rail? road from GoordiL's Depot, on the Northeast? ern Railroad, to Sumter via Manning. The attendance was more than respectable in point of numbers, and tho assemblage en? tered upou the consideration of the affair with a heartiness and earnestness that augurs well for the carrying out of tba enterprise. On motion, Hon. L. F. Rhame was called to the chair, and R. M. Thompson, Esq., was re? quested to act as secretary. The ?rs t speaker io favor of the proposed read was D. B. McLanrin, Esq., of Sumter, who announced the gratifying fact that tbe Northeastern Railroad Company felt a deep in? terest in tho road, and would subscribe libe? rally to secure its construction, and would, in all probability, endorse tho bonds of the com? pany to be formed, if they should find it neces? sary to issue Buch bonds to raise funds for the building of the road. The advantages of such an endorsement can be appreciated when it is stated that tho affairs of the Northeastern road are in a prosperous and improving condi? tion, and that they have been able to meet the interest on thou* own bonds regularly and promptly. Mr. McLanrin was followed by J. Galluchat, Esq., and by Colonel J. P. Richardson, who was in favor of running tho road from Gour diu's via Manning to Manchester, and by Mr. Davis, who was inf ivor of running the road itcross thc Columbia and Charlotte Road to the mountain reg bu of North Carolina. Mr. B. P. Barron followed, and called upon the meeting to limit their views to some attainable object. He said there was no danger of failure, and that tho proposed road from Sumter to Gour? de's could be built. Tho following resolutions were unanimously adopted: liesolced. That a committee of throe persons each election precinct bo appointed to so? it tho subscription of a contingent fund for the purposo of cmploxing a general agent-to aid lu 01 K>* until is mn company and or assisting in securing au engineering party to determine the most desirablo location for tbe road. Resolved, That the amounis severally sub? scribed by parties for this purpose be entered to their credit as so much paid on stock in case the road shall be built. Resoloed, That a financial committee of three persons bo appoioted, who shall receive and take charge of the funds thus collected and disburse them on the order of the general agent whom we may appoint. Resoloed, That desiring to secure the serv? ices of a general agent to promote the enter? prise whose high character, energy and long oxperiencc in railroad enterprises may furnish a guarantee of success, wo recognize in D. B. McLauriu, Esq.. the man emiently fitted for tho position, and that this meoting unanim? ously request him to act as tho general agent for the people of Clarendon County in promo? ting the organization of a company to under? take the but 'ding of a railroad from Sumter to Gourdin'a. The following were announced as members of the Financial Committee : B. A. Walker, J. E. Davis and B. P. Barron. Tho committees under the first resolution are as follows : Mar jg-M. Levi, Y. N. Butler, D. J. Brab? ham. Pack's Box-Captain W. R. Co?krey, G. D. Rhodus, Dr. S. P. Oliver. Calhoun Box-W. W. Hollady, John J. Bagin, Dr. CbarleB Henry. Fulton-T. N. Broughton, J. D. Wooka, D. W. Witherspoon. Packsville-Colonel W. L. Renolds, Levi F. Rhamo, ll. J. Holladay. Fork Black River-Simeon Richbourg, R. A. Clandler, E. R. Plowden. Salsm-R. E. McFaddin, W. J. McFaddin, Dr. J. V. Lpps. Bethlehem-R. Sidney Moore, S. B.Coker, J. J. McFaddin. Thc meeting then adjourned to meet again on the first Monday in May. HOW THE WOBK CAN BE DONE. The Clarendon Press, to which we are In? debted tor tho material for the foregoing re? port of the meeting, is doing good service in showing tho character of tho new road, its probable effects upon tho district, and how tho work may be done. It says : We regard the' success of the enterprise as secure if tho people of this District will but come up to the mark and do their duty. There is no cicubt about our ability to carry out the enterprise to a successful issue if we will only eviuce a determination to do so. lt is not a long road wo have to build to place ourselves in connection with the rest of tho world, and . the region through which it is to run is of a character most favorable to its economical structure. There are fow roads which have so favorable a location. The land from ono tei minus to tbe other is an almost un? broken level, presenting no swamps of any magnitude. The grading is light, requiring no deep cuts or high embankments. We esti? mate tho whole length of the road from Gour? de's to Sumter at about thirty-eight miles. I'S cost, nil complete, caunot bo wry far from $9000 a mile, at which rate the* eu tiro road wutitd lequire au outlay of $342.000. Wero the whole ;.m?uut to bo subscribed iii money, al this time, wo would despair of its completion for some j ears to come. Fortunately, how? ever, such is not thu case. Labor und material will represent the larger portiou of that sum labor and material that wo have here in our own district. There aro very few men inter? ested in ita construction who caunot subscribe something to its stock aud command t li o lab ir to work out their stock. If our pooplo caDUot subscribe money they ca i supply labor to some extent, and if wo will lake hold bf thc enterprise in earnest wo can build tho road withiu ourselves and build it promptlv. Wo ot Clarendon must ns-unie, as our sharo of tho work, the building of the road from Gourdin's to Maiming, and there is no tear but tba other parties deeply interested-but not so v.tally as ourselves -will continue tho road to Sumter. Let every maD, however poor, bestir him? self aud, if be can do no more, let bim take at least one sharo in the stock and exert himself, and, if necessary, deny himsolf some conitorta to pay up bis subscription to secure the com? pletion ot the road. Ibero arc many among us who are very poor, but they aro thc men to whom tue building of tho road is indispensable. A bOlf imposed tax by such persons to secure the building of tho road, is ?ot near so ouer ous as the j'early outlay to which they aro driven bv want of a railroad. Their heavy hauling to and from the railroad, and tho high prices Ibev are compelled to pay ior every kind of provisions and merchandise, amounts in the course of a year to a considerable sum. But there is a negative loss much heavier than this in not being able to turn their labor bo the best account for want of facilities for tbe safe, economical and prompt transportatioi f pro? duce to i ready market. Thia want compels Bmall fanners to rely upon cotton an a market crop, and from its cultivation they realize from twenty-five to thirty dollars ta an acre, when railroad facilities would enable them from truck patches and gardens-to make from two to five hundred dollars from each acre that they may be able to cultivate. Tho landholders of tho county form a class to whose interesa the building of this road is indispensable. It will not only bring among ?B labor of amore reliable character, but it will open a market for their landa which at present are almost valueless. Purchasers will not in? vest in lands at a distance from railroad facili? ties, except at a merely nomiual price. If cot? ton should very materially decline in price, which, under the improved system of culture, we think ?3 inevitable, to what use can our lands so far from market be put ? With a rail? road running by our very doors, there are scores of other productions in the culture of which we can moat profitably and pleasantly engage, to which we cannot otherwiao resort. At present we need a subscription which can be made availablo for securing tho charter and inaugurating the work at an early day. Thia is tho present and immediate want. When tho company shall have been organized a subscrip? tion in land will be available for raising funds to carry the work onward lo completion. It will be necessary to make a conveyance of the iand to tho company; bot the owner need not, on that account, be deprived of tho nae or actual possession of his land. If he subscribe Uve hundred a cr.a of land valued at two dol? lars an acre he will simply havo to pay that amount in money to thc road at some futuro day, whon it ia comparatively easy for him to do ao, when the lana, which be baa continued to occupy and employ, will be releaaed to him enhanced perhaps five or ten times in value by the mero opening of the road. The company in thc meantime has, without disturbing the occupant in the possession of his land, eimply employed it as a baais for negotiating a lo?n of money to carry out an enterprise which haB reade him perhaps ten times as wealthy os he waa before. Public Menin? In Sumter. A public meeting of the citizens of Sumter was also held on Monday last, Mr. A. J. Moses in the chair. Mr. D. B. McLaurin addressed the meeting, and stated that the residents of Clarendon had hal a large and enthusiastic meeting at Man? ning, and had subscribed liberally, both iu lands and money, to construct their portio J, ?nd it now remained for the citizens of c'um .dr lo say whether or not they ahould have the road built. He also stated that it was a cer? tainty that the road from Manning to Gour din's would be built, and he urged upon the citizens the great importance of the enter? prise, and boped they would not let the oppor? tunity pa: . from them to place themselves in a condition of independence from tho present monopoly that was now practiced upon them. Mr. C. H. Moise ihen addressed the meeting, and read a letter from the present superinten? dent of the Northeastern Railroad, Mr. 8. S. Solomons, which information waa carefully considered by the meeting. Ho then stated to tho meeting the importance of immediate and prompt action on the part of tho citizens of our town and surrounding country. He advo? cated, in strong terras, the groat advantages ni tho load, as it would place us indirect com? munication with tho seaboard. At the conclu? sion of his remarks, he offered tho following resolution, which was unanimously adopted : R'eolced, That a committee of five be ap? pointed by tho chairman, at bis leiaure, for the purpose of raising on amount of money suffi? cient to defray our proportion of tho expense of a survey of the railroad from Gourdiu'a to Sumter. Mr. John H. Foriter then addressed the meeting, strongly advocating the construction ot the road, and stated that if the citizens of our aection did not puah tho enterpri8e, that 0CD09M WOOIOi ^"U -_ij BUjuJ iva UT rect connection. Colonol J. D. Blanding then addressed the meeting at some length, and gave some valua? ble information regarding the enterprise, and urged upon all persons who had any intorost in tho welfaro and proaperity of our town to adv?calo the construction of tho road at once, and ho also stated, trora bis personal knowl? edge of the country, that it would cost but very little, comparatively, to put the road in successful operation, as the linea bad already been laid out, and that exponae is necessarily reduced. Colonel Blaudiag having concluded, the meeting adjourned to meet again on Monday, tho 3d day of May, at 1 o'clock. FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. The Orlf* cf Things in Washington Tbc Distribution of thc Loaves and Fishes. A Washington correspondent writes to the Cincinnati Commercial : Let the socret adviser be any one, or no one, the fact is patent that the patronage is being horribly managed, and the wrath gathera force as the offices are filled. I do not mean the ordinary disgust that comes of disappointment, but an uglier feeling than that. Heretofore we have always had certain eminent leaders who shared the councils and readily shoulder? ed the responsibility, but now these leaders are the men who were first amazed, and are now indignant. About the Capitol one hears nothing but curses, not loud, but deep, that follow every batch of appointments. These Congressmen complain that they are not only disappointed, but are treated in a way to add insult to injury, i he grim little sphinx sits iu ailonce, puffing tobacco smoke in their eyes, and responding "yee" or "no" with about as much meaning aa there is in his face. And yet, to one who looks philosophically at the situation, these men BO treated really make the government. General Grant feels hie power now, but it is tho power of the patronage, and eveiY day this lessens. Tho time is not distant when tho politicians will have no cause to call at the White House, and the eyes of the people will be tamed to the Capitol, where the fgovernment really is, and about that time the ittle sphinx will lay aside bis cigar, and look, too, m that direction. This would all be very well, If that confound? ed Democratic party did not intervene. But timea hard, money scarce, and taxation heavy, the people seo, in dismay, that the rich grow richer, and the poor poorer, and with that dis? position to abitt position when sick, or in pain, they turn to a party that can give them no rouef. AFFAIRS IN THE STATE. Clarendon. Mr. E. G. DuBose, of Clarendon County, met with a severe loss from the effects of fire a lew days since. Several of his outbuildings wore totally deetroyod. Kershaw. The Camden Journal, of the 15th instant, Baye : "The ground.th'B morning was cover? ed with frost, and ice of considerable thickness was formed. We understand that the peach crop in this vicinity was killed by the frosts of last week." Darlington. The Southerner aava : "As an evidence of tho returning prosperity in this section of South Ca? rolina, thero has beon a very considerable in? crease iu tho amount of taxes on incomes tor 18C8, as compared with the returns for 1867. From reporta made to tho Asses or's ?frico of (be First District, tho taxes on tho incomes of 1867 wcro $13.009 41; for 1868 they were $29, 051 21, sbowiug an increase for ono year of $16,041 79."

Thc Sumter papers notico with deep regret thc death of tho eminent Presbyterian divine, Rev. Thomas R. English, which occurred on Sunday last, at his residence in Salem. A meeting has been called for n-xt Saturday week (24th,) to form a District Agricultural Society, and appoint delegates to a State Agri? cultural Convention, tobe held in Columbia. On last Tuesday evening the jailor at Sumter, on entering an apartment where about twelve or fifteen prisoners wero confined, and in the act of securing tho door, he was seized and held by some of them while others made their escape. Ono of the prisoners came to his as? sistance, and the sen of tho jailor, hearing the alarm, succeeded in stopping one or two, but four mada good then? escape. The Sumter Nows says : "A telegram was received at this place on last S.inday night from Wilmington. N. C., giving tho descripton of a man named Bentley, who had obtained from a bank in that plaoe, by forgery, about seventeen bundrod dollars. As an individual answering the description had been soon to get off the train and leave town in a suspicious manner,on the same day, pursuit was made, ard en Tuesday Mr. J. Whiteford Thompson succeeded in overhauling him in Darlington District. Moat of the money and a gold watch was found in bis possession. Mr. T. left on tbe train with his prisoner yesterday, and will, we understand, re?oive a snug sum for bis trouble." The repairs on the Courthouse of Sumter are completed, and the citizens thereat re? joice. Greenville. Speaking of the weather, the Greenville En? terprise of Thursday says : " This morning there wera frost and ice. thermometer at 29? above zero. Prospects for fruit this season bad." Mr. Lewis Worthington, a native of Massa? chusetts, who, for air een years past, has resi? ded in Greenville, died last week, aged 56 years. He was counccted in business with Messrs. Gower, Cox & Markloy. Mr. William Cox, of Greenville County, has invented a "guano distributer," very simple, and regarded as the best thing of tho kind in use;price only $8. The machine can be regu? lated to strew the guano uniformly to any de? sired thickness or thinness, so that the quan? tity used on the ground can be measured to a fraction. "At a meeting of the Greenville Agricultural Society, the following members were appointed delegates to the Agricultural Convention, to meet in Columbia on the 27th inst. : J. A.
