COLUMBIA. 8. C. Wed hot lay ? or nine, February 19,1873 Fron Chicago to the Sea. Ohioago, whose marvelous growth has beon one of the wonders of this stirring age,, sits on the Southern shore of Lake MiobigaD, and reaching her arms forth to embrace hues of travel and traffic .East, West and South, draws from them abundant resources to make her tho un? rivaled queun of the lakes. Sho is now looking for a near and profitable line to .Southern Atlantic ports. A convention ?has just been held at Indianapolis to *cousider the means of constructing a railroad' from Chicago, via Lexington, Kentucky, direct to some Southern point the most advantageous to Chicago. At this convention a preliminary eurvey was ordered, and will soon be made, with the view of settling the question of route. Lexington, Kentucky, has already been determined upon ns a point in the 4ine. A railroad connection with the North? west baa been moro than a dream; it has been the desire and purpose of our peo? ple since the day of Qov. R. Y. Hayne, and the great Cincinnati Railroad Con? vention, which inaugurated (he move? ment. That was the objuot of tho Blue It id go Road. At Knozville it was to meet other lines leading to Louisville, Cincinnati and further ou. We had some maguifiaeut visions in those days. And though so little has beon done to realize them, it is our hope that tbey will yet oome to pass. The main question will bo as to tho moot desirable port or ports. The Rich? mond Dispatch expresses the opinion that the North-western cities will find by practical experience that it is not their policy, in seeking outlets to the Atlantic to go below the Virginia .South ?ern boundary line. If they aim at .points South of that line, they will be forced to go to South Carolina. They will find, it -says, the port of Charleston insufficient in depth and breadth of water. It con? cedes that Beaufort is unobjectionable in theso respects, but it finds that the disadvantages and discomforts prevail? ing there have prevented its growth. It is not a town where business can be con? ducted with any facility, so it sagely ?oonoludes that any point below the Vir? ginia line, of import and export, for the cities of the North-west and West, would be disadvantageous to the trade and health.of those employed in transporta? tion, by reason of temperatare and the increased dangers to perishable articles,' and those affected by temperatare.' The Virginia tide-water ports, it says, occupy the medium line between obstructive frosts and oppressive heats, and one which exactly meets the wants of the Ohio end Mississippi cities. This reads plausibly enough. It is the best statement that oau be made on the side which it advocates. But it is not fair towards the more Southerly ports. First, the distance from Lexing? ton, Ky., by Kuoxvillo, Anderson, Co? lumbia aud Augusta, or by Knoxville, Asheville, Spartanburg and Columbia, to Wilmington, Charleston, Port Royal and Savannah, is not greater than to Norfolk, Va., by the Chesapeake and Ohio Road. The difference of distanco either way is not material. Secoudly, these ports uro as healthy as Norfolk, and Port Royal a delightful place, so far as situation aud climate are coucerned, all the year round. ? The harbors aro all abundautly deep and safe, or can, without much expense, be made so, for tho discharge of the busi? ness in question. Port Royal has long ago been demonstrated to be one of the noblest ports on tho Atlantic It is a fallacy to say that men may not work safely and agreeably at these points in any season of the year, or that goods ate in any wise subject to injury from damp atmosphere. The visits of yellow fever do not amount to inuuh, and are some? times made to Norfolk, as well as to Charleston and Savannah, The North-western cities and States, and Kentacky. and Tennessee, through which tho road will run, have corn, grain, hay, flour, baoon, agricultural implements, horses and muleF to disposo of. Tho Dispatch will hardly sny Virgi? nia is their best market. But they find it in Southern North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Alabama. In return, they will want phosphates, fertilizers, raw aud manufactured cotton, rice, sugar, tropical fruits from Florida, Cuba and Mexico. Virginia can supply none of these. The question is one which not only concerns outlots to fo? reign aountries, the travel to which shall bo free of ice, snow and other obstruc? tions' at all seasons, but the Norlh-west orn pooplo will want trade along its ronte, and cannot overlook ono so fnll of promise as the one wo have iudicated. At the late convention in Augusta, a report was made by a committee oh urged with the consideration of the advisable ness of a road from Augusta to Chicago, io whioh it is stated that the roato is ip great meaaare already completed. It adds, that -when some gaps are filled, its completion will secure to Eastern Geor? gia and Western Sooth Carolina the cheapest supplies of stock, bacon and the cereals. It is encouraging to see interest in this scheme thus manifesting it: elf nt both ends. Trustees or the University.: In joint assembly, yesterday, Messrs. J. K. Jillson, D. H. Chamberlain and Li. O. Northrop were oleoted Trustees of the Sonth Carolina University. The Bourd now consists of Messrs. Lee, Bowley, S wails, Jervoy, Jillson, Chamberlain and Northrop. The Governor is ex officio a member and Chairman, when present. Mr. Jillson has served acceptably on the Board for the last four years. We are of the opinion that he means well, and feels a real interest in tbo cause of education. Mr. Chamberlain is n capable man, of a Bubtlo order of intelleot, with tho culture which may mako him valuable in the Board. Mr. Northrop is a native of the State and a graduate of the College. Upon him we can count for good offices to his Alma Mater. Tho 6ame may be said of the Governor. The members elected the other day uro, we doubt not, discreet men, who will prove avorso to any movement intended to cripple or in? jure this venerable institution of learn? ing. We shall hope to seo them support it with zeal and good judgment. m m ? ? School for Idiots. Mit. Editob: Many of your readers j will probably be much surprised when they read an appeal in behnlf of idiots. What can bo done for an idiot? An idiot, according to Blackslone, is a natu? ral fool; "ono that .hath no understand? ing from kis'notivity; and therefore is, by law, presumed never likely to attain any." It is a common impression that an idiot is entirely beyond the reach of training and education; that he most re? main forever in worse than brutish dark? ness and ignoranco. This, however, is a great mistake, as I shall show. Idiots oau be educated; idiots have been educat ed; and some of the most unpromising of them have been redeemed from their low estate, and elevated to a condition which asserts their humanity and pluces them far abovo the most intelligent of the lower animals. It is believed that in the United Slates there are from 50,000 to 75,000 idiots, and it is fair to Bay that in South Carolina they may be counted by the hundred. Tho idea that something in tbo way of education might be done for this most helpless olass, belongs to our ago. It wus first attempted in Paris, and to the French must bo given tho orcdit, thoogh it wus under the guidance of the false philoso? phy of Condillaa. Uuder other and better influences, it haB had a higher aim, and achieved a noble success. I am happy to record the fact that not only in Prance, bat in Switzerland, Prussia, in the United Status, and iu Eogluud, these so-called "human brutes" have been redeemed, and made to take their pluco with tho "lords of creutiou." Let him who doubts read tho reports that bavo uome to us; particularly those from Massachusetts, und from Mr. J. B. Richards, whoso school was at Gerrnuu town, Pennsylvania, and who haB the distinction of having hud charge of the first class trained among us. Wo learn from these reports thut "they can be ruisod from u condition lower than that of brutes lo tho likeuess of man." Tho success which has been attained bus cor? rected a great error and established a most encouraging fact. It is not true that with the idiot there is a state of absolute, mental incapacity; it is only trao that i here is a torpor of tbo mental powers. It is proved iu numerous in? stances that persons who uro idiotic at birth may become "cleanly in person, quiet in ' deportment, industrious in hubils, and pass in society as individuals of common intelligence;" while others to whom God bus given equal capacity, have from neglect and wuut of training, become filthy, gluttonous, vicious, de? praved and suuk into driveling idiocy. It is o great point gained to know thut I a now work of mercy is opened for us; that the idiot is no longer to be regarded as incurably an object of louthing und disgust; that tho immortal spirit is not extinguished, but smothered, und that it cnu bo urouscd to a condition of con? sciousness and intelligence. In a future number I will conclude tho subject. M. L.

Death op a Son op Emmet, the Irish Patriot.? L'lie New York Evening Post of Saturday, tho 15th inst, says: "Ro? bert Emmet, tho oldest son of Thomas Addis Emmet, tho Irish patriot, who died io Now York, iu 1827, and nephew of the celebrated Robert Emmet, died at his homo in New Rochello, to day, in tho eighty-first year of his ago. Mr. Emmet was long nu eminent member of tho New York bar, and was formerly one of the most esteemed residents of this city." A man in Newport, R. I., has been arrested on a oharge of incest with three of his dangbters. Hang him. PropoiaU for m Cottom FMttrjr ta Croouvlll?. It is proposed to raise the necessary capital stock, and to build and operate a ootton factory and wheat and eorn mills at a water power belonging to Mr. H. P. Hammett, on Baluda River, eleven miles below the city of Oreenville, anil within one-half mile of the track of the Oreen? ville and Columbia Railroad. It ia proposed to build a factory of, say, 0,600 spindles and 200 looms, and .make it a first class mill, using all tho modern improvements wbioh experience has proven to be necessary for the pro? duction of the best quality of goods at the least cost of production. The water power is ample, for not only the pro? posed factory and mills, but for any en? largement and extensions that may ever be desired by the company. It is the experience ot those qualified by expe? rience to jadge of such mutterB, that it is unsurpassed by any in the world for efficiency and cheapness of application, and the buildings erected at it will be free from danger of damage by freshets. About (300 aores of laud is oonneoted with it, controlling the entire privilege on both sides of the river, and extending to the track of the railroad, where tho land is favorable for tho construction of a turn-out and depot, which (he railroad compauy proposes to do as soon as it is wanted for the work. It is easily ap? proached from both sides of tho river, so that good roads may be made to and from it. The proposed factory, with tho ma? chinery, together with the wheat uud oora mills, operatives' and storehouses, and all necessary appurtenances, is esti? mated to cost about $170,000; then add $30,000 for commercial capital, will mako tho capital stock $200,000. One-half of this sum would be called for during tho first year, aud the balauce afterwards, because it would be bes' . >t to start more than ono-hulf the ?j . i.iuory at first, so us to organize the labor, ,v.o., uud to add the balauce afterwards, as circum? stances favored it. The company would be incorporated under the guuerul in? corporation laws of this State, or by u special Act of the Legislature, us might be thought best, and stock issued by it in shares of $100 each, so as tq place it withiu the reach of all to takestook in it. The location is ob healthy au any part of the world. There is uu abundance of good material in tho surrounding coun? try for operatives, whose condition would bo materially improved und their charac? ters elevated by employment in such a mill; besides, they would become pro duoers aud valuable members of uocioty. The children, too small to work in the factory, would have educational advan? tages, and the families church privileges equal to those of any of the surrounding villages. The location is also a good one for u mercantile house; the surrounding country is a good farming region, settled by uu intelligent aud thrifty population. Nearly, if not quite all, the cotton used by the factory could be bought direct from tho producers, delivered at the fao tory, aud save freights and commissions in buying aud delivering it. The im? portance that would attach to the place, in consequence of the cotton market, store, mills, village aud depot, would soou make it a general place of resort and1 trade by tho surrounding popula? tion. The consumption of cottou by the factory would bo about 2.500 bales annually, which, at fifteen cents per pound, would oost $150,000, und at lea9t $50,000 would bo paid to the opera lives for wages, which would bo uu in? come to tho.country around the factory. The product of tho factory would be about 3.000,000 yards cloth per annum, which, at present market prices, would bring $330,000; the net profits upon which would also be added to the net income of the country. The advantages which tho South pos? sesses over the North fur muuufucturiug tho coarser fabrics made of oottou are admitted by all the manufacturers at the North, and uro estimated by them to amount to at least ten per cunt, in favor of the South. This is especially truo oT this particular section, in consequence of its peculiar advantages, with us abun? dant water power, healthy climate, cheap living, aud consequently cheap lubor, with the raw material produced in our niidst, uud tho existing and projected railroads furnishing cheap uud prompt transportation to nil the great markets, and to every section of the country. Smull factories cannot return the samo profits upon the capital invested in them as larger ones, because their prolits uro largely absorbed in the salaries of .skilled laborers, superintendents and managers, which uro uot materially iuoreased by in creasing tho quantity of machinery and the product of the factory. Tho following is on approximate esti mutu of the results of such a factory us is contemplated in the foregoing, al tho pre sunt market values of the raw material and the goods. Of course, all estimates of this character are conjectural, but they are uot in excess of the results now being accomplished by other lurge factories in tho South, that are favorably located uud well managed, aud tho stock of all of thetn are now soiling in the markets for largo premiums over their par value*; uud it is believed that this locality, for the reasons given above, has udvauluges nut surpassed by auy uf them. Tho annual production, expenses and profits, with good mauagomeui, should approximate tho following: 3.0011,000 yards % shirting*, @ 11 couts per yard,$330,OU0; 000,000 pouudn, the weight of thogoodt-; 112,500 pounds', tho weight of the waste?4,012 500 pounds, the weight of the cotton, (a}. 18o., $181,250; manufacturing and taxes ou 000,000 pounds goods, (o) 7c, 663,00U; freights ou 000.000 poumls goods tu Now York, (?) la, $0,000; commissions and expenses in selling $330,000 worth of goods in Now York, 6 per cent., $10,800?$273,050. Profits Irom ouo year's operations, $5G,050. This is '2.81u per cent, on a capital of 8200,000. In this, no estimate is made for profits to be derived from wheat and ?orn mills and atore, the profits from which may be set aside, to meet oontin Kuoies that may arise, saoh as repairs, i. And an aflowanoe is also made for freights and commissions for selling the whole product, in New York, when it is expected that a considerable portion would be Bold direct to tbe trade, from the factory, and save both freights and commissions. Another reason why enterprises of this character offers superior inducements to invest in tbem is, that onr section of tbe oonntry is in a prosperous condition, financially; geod crops have been made, which have been*sold at good prices; tbe culture of cotton is largely on tbe in? crease, and capital is accumulating, which must naturally seek investments somewhere If invested iu enterprises of this ubaiaoter, tbe country will be largely benefited by it; a large number of operatives will be furnished with Inorativo employment nnd made pro? ducers, their labor being paid for by consumers elsewhere, and the product of both tin ir labor and the return upon tbe capital invested is left with us, enriching the country to that extent, and adding to tbe general prosperity. In that way, and no other, has New England grown rich and powerful, financially, because they have been producers nnd wo con? sumers. We have paid for their skilled labor, und from their course uud success we should learn a useful lesnou. Persous favorably impressed with the foregoing enterprise, nnd who may de? sire to take stock in it, can do so by ap? plying to either of tho undersigned. H. P.

Mr. Editor: Will tho Legislature ad? journ, and not arrauge to investigate the amount aud validity of tbo Stnlu debt? How can tho members go homo and face their constituents, when they shall buvo fuiled to at all do that which should have beeu one of their first nets? By their refusal or neglect of Ibis im? portant duty for tbe people, they have virtually, if not actually, made them? selves partakers of tbe wrougs thut may have been committed in tho increase of tho public debt. If no wrongs have been committed, why refuso to allow or em? power such men as Attorney-General S. W. Melton, General Wade Hampton and ex-Governor B. F. Perry to examine closely aud report? A report from auch a committee would not cost the State much, and would give very general satis? faction to tbo people. The peoplo are not willing to indiscriminately pay all demands against the State, ns has been done, when, in all probability, more than three quarters of tbo claims have beeu begotten in iniquity, fraud and corrup? tion. Is there a man who would be willing to pay that which he did not owe, simply because some scoundrel had tho audacity to claim it against him? Wonld he pay before bo was sure all was just aud right? Most assuredly not. There is no doubt but that tho enor? mous amount of taxes just collected from the people have boeu squandered in this v/ay, and not a dollar now in tbe Trea? sury; and the Legislature, if they did not fear to do so, would now pass another aud still heavier tax bill.

It entered and overflowed several at the streets between Reynolds uud the river, iu tho upper portion of tue city, and also backed up from the canal iu tho neighborhood of the through depot. Very little damage has been done ns yet, though a further rise of eighteen inches will Hood some of tho warehouses. A great deal of drift wood is beiug brought down by tho stream.
