Tri-Weekly 85 a Year BY JULIAN A. SELBY. COLUMBIA. S. C.. SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 30. I860. VOLUME V-NO. GI. Blue Hldgc HnllronU. Whatever appertains to this groat eu terpriso cannot fail to excite an interest j iu our people. The project was agitated | in the Knoxville Couveution as early as 183G, and the great iuterest of tho sec- i tious to 1)0 penetrated by the road have kept the matter olivo until tho opening I of tho war, which swallowed up i vory ! local interest in tho .struggle for iude pendence. Scarcely hud the smoke of j the conteudiug armies dissipated, uutil tho vost importance of the road enlisted j tho entire people of tho State on tho ? sido of its completion. Tho Legislature al. once pledged the faith ot' the State in ita behalf to the extent of S4.000.000. With a view to select tho best route to connect Cincinnati with some Southern X>ort, a great railroad meeting was held in that city ou the 15th instant. This meeting was attended and addressed by Gov. Scott, Col. Low aud Geu. ilarrisou in the iuterest of the Blue Ridge route, by way of Knoxville. The proceedings of the meeting are too lengthy for our columns, but we extract from tho Cin? cinnati Gazette the following sketch of the speech of Gen. Harrison, tho Presi? dent, and, in fact, tho irrepressible "friend and advocate of the road:" Gen. J. W. Harrison, President of tho Blue Ridge Railroad, was called for. He spoke of the evidences of pros? perity that he saw in Ohio. Tho busi? ness, the railroad and shippiug of Cin? cinnati had far exceeded his expecta? tions. Ho alluded to the early efforts to get a connectiou between Cincinuati aud Charleston. There was then a mutual understanding between niue States on the railroad question. There wero in? ducements that entered iuto public trans? actions that could uot he disregarded. He could not charge Cincinnati with had faith if she failed to make tho road to Knoxville, but certainly South Carolina had goue ou with her system, upou the supposition that Ciueiuuuti could meet them. A railroad connection had been made with Columbia at a cost of So, 000,000. Besides this, the State lias ex? pended 62,500,000 on other roads with tho samo ultimate purpose-muking in all 87,500,000 of railway expenditures, hoping to roach Cincinuati aud tho inex? haustible resources of the Ohio aud Mis? sissippi Valleys. Had we euiBoient rea? son to hope that could wo reach Knox? ville you would meet us there? Will you now turn back upon us? He then spoke of other railway connections South aud South-west of Knoxville and described the great mineral resources o? the valley of North Carolina. He spoke of tho railway meetiug nt Augusta, Cia., hold within a few days, that resolved to build at once a connection with tho Blue Ridge Road. This will n&brd a route for Cin? cinnati to Atlanta shorter than any other. Tile State ot' South Carolina has built and projected a perfect not-work of rail? way, that will givo Cincinuati a direct communication with Charleston and Sa? vannah. The speaker said that, instead of at? tempting to tell Ciucinuati what benefit* she will reap from the Knoxville cou uection, ho would say something ol ito benefit to his own people. They had expected, for a generation, to enjoy thi advantages of your grain fields aud greet pasturage; we have plunted cotton nur rice, expeoting to be fed from other sec lions. Wo have beeu compelled to trans port provision 2,000 miles, and have los more iu freights from the immens? roundabout distaucethau would build thi road from end to end. We cannot, ai things now stand, raise rice, cotton, to buceo and sugar, without also raising . largo portion of our provisions. If yoi will bring us within 500 miles of you corn fields, we can plant all our lands it such produce as will grow most natural ly with us, and exebauge with you t< the mutual advantage of yourselves ant us. You cauuot fully realize thechanget conditiou of thiugs iu the South. Po example, wo now uoed a stove iu ever house. Before the war, it was not so Tho South wants a million of stoves tc day. Would you no*, like to supply us Wo are uow compelled to use machiner iu agriculture. Do you not desire thi patronage for your shops? Very littl that is used ou the farm is made :i home. Wo have to look abroad io these things, but we cannot afford t pay freight on wagons, buggies, Ac, fo 2,000 miles around. lu timber, we hav the finest of walnut, cherry, Ac., to olio you. The engineer said that in survej ing tho road from Walhalla to Franklin it was not a raro thiug to see a black wa nut thirty feet in circumference an seventy feet to tho first limb; also cherr equally tall without a limb. These tree would bo worth something iu your mai ket. Tho capitalists of tho South-east ni waking up to oceau trade. They cai not soe why tho products of tho Wei Indies should all be carried past the be: of harbors at Port Royal to Baltimon New York and Boston, to be thenc brought back to us. A chango will I effected in this regard. Many of us wi live to seo toe day when the richest trad of the country will be from South Ami rica, Spain anti the West Indies, through South-eastern ports. Port Royal will, nt no distant day, bo a groat naval sta? tion, which will vastly aid us iu attract? ing trade which, by the laws of nature, should come to us instead of passing by us to Baltimore and New York. If you of Cincinnati will come to our aid, a great revolution will bo speedily wrought iu this regard. The State of South Ca? rolina has loaned its credit to the Blue Ridge Road to the amount of 61,000,000. This will enable us to push it to Knox? ville in fourteen months, could a million of material aid from Ciucimmtti, and an? other million from Louisville bo pro? cured. Ho thought that ho could so present tho argument that private capi? talists, of Cincinnati, would ntonco sub? scribo a million. It may be that if you don't make Knoxville your Southern ter? minus, we shall be discouraged. Cincin? uati is worth moro than tho whole State of South Carolina; and yet our State has oxpendcd $7,500,000 on railways, and has given her credit for $4,000,000 moro. With such aspirations as the people of Cincinnati have iu reference to her fu? turo greatness, how can sho neglect to exteud some material aid to the great universe about her from which sho ex? pects to draw her resources ? -.-o ANOTHER TEiuiiniiE STOKM.-On last Saturday afternoon wo were visited with a storm still more terrible and destruc? tive than that of tho Saturday previous. Wo learn that a number of trees were blown down, fences destroyed, and se? rious injury done to corn and cotton many of our planters being compelled tc replant three-fourths of their entire crop. The last of the fruit prospect has alsc been blasted. A wagon belonging tc Mr. A. J. Rowe, ot this place, wa? smashed into smithereeus by the fallinp of a tree, the horses that were hitched in tho wagon at the time barely escaped being crushed.-Bennetlsville Journal. -o GEN. BUTLER'S PROPOSITIONS.-Geu, Butler's two last propositions 'submitted to the public, and, if report speaks true, to the President and Cabiuet, seem t< bo to declaro martial law in the Southon States, and to declaro war agaiust Grea Britain. Both of these recommendatioui indicate the possession of the "highes1 degree of radical statesmanship." lu fal operation, the country would presen even a more edifying spectacle than it doe at present.-Alexandria ( Va.) (titz-jtte. -o A POPULAR Co LOK.-The colored eic munt is doiug remarkably well in th held of polities. A colored ambassador a colored revenue assessor, two colore clerks in the revenue bureau at Wash iugton, aud the recent appointment of sou of Fred. Douglas to a lucrative elert ship in tho Register's office, not to mer tion several other instances of tho elevi tion of colored men to public office, at "fixed facts" in current history full c curious suggestion. GRANT SNUBS BUTLER.-The hero ( Fort Fisher and Big Bethel had IL temerity to call upon him. He was n ceived with tey coldness. After a vii riety of leading questions, he venture upon putting one directly in referent to the weather. "I am uo judge of sue things," said Graut, "aud if I were, should be chary of expressing an op nion."-Baltimore Gazette's WashingU Letter. THE EJECTION*.-Tho managers of sou of the preciucts haviug failed to mal returns, we aro unable to give tho exa< result. But from what we can lean there is no doubt that our fellow-town mau, Mr. W. M. Nelsou, is tho succ?s ful candidate for Judgo of Probate. V J. Crawford, County Commissioner, ac Robert Hawthorn, Coroner. [)Vinnsboro News. SAD CASUALTY.-We regret to loar by despatches sent to this city yesterdi i to his brother, that Mr. Alexauder G fillan, out on a collecting tour for tl house of Messrs. Lengnick & Sell, of o city, was run over by tho railway cars ; Opeleka, Alabama, and in a short tin expired from the injuries he thus r ceived, - ( 'harleston C< > urier, FlltE.-We just learn of the desti n tion of the line residence and contents !

Orangcb ur g News. BAD rou WASHINGTON.-Wo ha heard of tho wickedness of Washingto but never knew how totally depraved was until Brownlow pronounced it t hot for him. That caps the climax. T abode of Satan has an Alaska flavor af that. An English gentlemau has bought I tween 3,000 and 4,000 acres of land Nelson County, Ya., ou which ho tends to settle 800 English families.

It in wisely provided by thc human economy that whenover anything ia wrong in tho physical system tho natural forces of thc body arc brought to bear to expel the diseuse. The great aim, therefore, is to strengthen tho na? tural powers. This han boen kept itt view by tho skillful compounders of IIOSTETTERS STOMACH RITTERS, which operates to give fresh vitality to all tho organ? of the body Tho affect of this medicine upon thc stomach, tho liver aud the kidneys, is prompt and deci? sivo. Tho patient, who is wiso enough to quit drugging and try tho BITTERS, soon feels as if ho had taken a new leaso of life, and as ho continues tho UBO of tho article, ho ia over? joyed to find tho streams of health coursing through his frame. It is prepared with great | care, and its component parts aro entirely vegetable. It is freo front tho objections so often urged against preparations of thc kind. As a MEDICAL AGENT it has no equal, while its pleasing llavor and healthful ellectn have mado it a general favorito, lt is froo from all properties calculated to impair the system, aud its operations aro at once mild, soothing and efficient.
