Much may be saved on this estimate, par titu arly in laying thn track and grndiupfif conxist !a o ' be used as was at first con templated. If rails of 30 lbs to the yard be used the cost of iron would be considerably lessened, but the 40 lb rail would le the cheapest in the wear and use of the road. I ams.itUfied that every item that I ha^e estima'ed can be let out on eontract, ami delivered completed to the company for the prices herein named, aud in some instances for much loss. The dis a ice from Camden lo Chester i? about fifty-fivo miles, anil the cost of ill-; road through tiiat section, including the Wateree river would probably reach $ >,000 per mile, thus making a total cos1, from Georgetown to Chester of $1,027,040, and making an average cost for the whole line of $0,288 per mile. I understand that it is n w proposed to let each coukty build an ? q tal disttnoc.? The counties iirough whiou it passes aj? ?ieoiyotown, Williamsburg, Clarendon. Sumter, Kershaw and Chester; the distance is about 105 miles,giving to each county about 28 nrl.s to provide for, or if the cost be equally divided, c*?h county will have to raise $175,001). After the books are opened and it is definitely ascertained what mim citn bo raised by private tuV jcriptiou, we can tell what sum will be re-^ quited in county bonds. Yours Truly, DAVID It ISLE V.
