'I'lie ori-H have, besides, lo brur the cosl of freight

Thcso charges for freight of llio ore greatly
reduce the profits of the mine". Tin- ureal Cumberland
Coal lied crops out above the surfaee
about eifjht miles wcsl of Chattanooga. It is
nio^t important to the profitable working of the
mines that the coal and copper ore should be
brought near to cach oilier by rail road. It is
therefore essential that a rail road should connect
Durk Town with the Cumberland Coal
I Jed. The distance between them id about 7 X
miles. The coal hikI copper freight* would not
support the expense of a rail mail, dependent on
them alone, as a rail rond from Duck Town to
I ho Coal l)rd3 would be. Hut if the Iliwasnec
Koail were built, tlie general tr.ide between
Cliarlehton and Chattanooga, by (lie lliwassee
branch nml lilne Ridge Itail Uo.nl, would make
llic Itoad from I)uck Town to Cleveland a prudent
investment. So iin|Kir(ant in it to the productiveness
of the large capital invented in liio
Duck Town Copper Mines (said to nmount to
many millions of dollars) that a large contribution
from the owners or the Mines may confidently
ho relietl on, for they have a deep interest
in the construction of that part of the lliwassee
Hail Itoad which would connect Duck Town
with Clovelaud.
The counties through which the Iliwassee
Rail Koad id located, are fertile, much more f<>rtile
than would he inferred from th>-ir productions,
for the distance from a market discourages
from any more agricultural labor than eufKcts
to supply the necessaries of life. County and
individual subscriptions to a considerable amount
tnay be confidently expected.
The first movement lowavla the undertaking
of this Road, will be seen in the following extract
from the Chaltauooga Advertiser of the
15th instant:
Rail Road Meeting in Union County.?In accordance
to previous notice, a Inrgc ami respectable
portion of the citizens of IJiiion county,
met in the Court House at lilairsville. On mo
tion, llio Hon. S- S. Ilorshnw was called to the
chair, and Captain Alfred Butt requested to act
as Secretary. Dr. Andrew Young was called
on to explain the object of the meeting; after
which lie introduced the following Preamble and
Resolution*, to wii:
We, a portion of the people of Norhoast Georgia,
feeling from our irolated |msitiou our great
need of rail road facilities, and having assembled
for the purpose of devising means to forward the
construction of the Iliwassee Kail Road, unanimously
adopt the following resolutions :
1. iCcsolvcd, That the lliwassee Hail Road
charter together with the chartcr from Duck
Town Copper Mines to Cleveland, Tennessee, (a
distance not exceeding oue huudred miles) form
the nearest and mn?t practicable line of connection
between the Great Valley of the Miiwisaippi
and Charleston, South Carolina, (this being
nearer than any other line of roads which is, or
can be built by from 135 to 150 miles)
'2. licsolncd, That nature having provided Ibis
route by causing as it were, the lofty inouutains
to !x>w to our necessities, evidently directing us
to the great councction referred to Above, we
would prove recreant to the duties which we

longer remain inactive on the subject, and unworthy
those Kail Road facilities which the beneficence
of nature has placed wiihin the reach
'Of our energies and our capital.
&. Rcnolvcd, Therefore, Hint we pledge ourselves
to use all available means fur theuoustruc
tiou of the lliwassee ruil road, and that capitalists
he iuvitcd to investiijate and compare dis
timers by this and oilier road*, either completed
or contemplated.
4. lierolvcl, Tliat our Senator and Representative
to the General Assembly be instructed to
co-operate with the friends of State and upon
fit it nlile principles, but to oppos* the adoption
of any policy the tendency of which would be
lo discriminate against this or any other portion
ol Georgia.
f>. Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting
forward a copy of the above resolutions to
the Chattanooga Advertiser, Cleveland Banner,
1/nurciicevillu News, Southern Banner, Clurksvillo
Journalt Wolhall* Banner, and Keowce

The meeting was then addressed by Dr. Andrew
Youug and C. J. Welhorn, in support of
the same; when, on motion of John Uutt, ISmj ,
they were unanimously adapted.

The eariiestnesa of the people who arc interested
in tlii* road for its construction, in shown by
their per?erverano? to obtain the charter froin (lie
Georgia Legislature. The first petition for a

vetoed the Rill. Tho friends of the mud, by
vigorous effort, succeeded in having the Bill
passed, notwithstanding ilie Governor's veto.
The importance of this branch of the Hlue

for the information of the people of Charloton,

GONE GLIMMERING.
We had occasion, a few weeks since, to refer
to the sudden elopement of certain individuals.
We have another indictment this week against
a young mm), who lias been spending some lime
liure with no other occupation than that of a
general loafer. Wo have understood that ho
gave his name as James Lcvcrclt, from N. C,
A f*\v nights wince, without paying his board
bill, or taking leave of other small creditors, lie
left fur parte unknown. On the ni^ht of his departure
a Gray Ilorac, under medium size, and
about 12 year* of age, belonging to W. W. Huhski.,
mysteriously disappeared from the post to
which he was hilchcd, and has not been hoard
from since. It is surmised, and that not without
reason, that the said /Atuerell has feloniously appropriated
llio missing horse to his own private
purposes.
GEN. 8C0TT.
It is stated that Gen. Scott liab Wen ordered
to Washington Territory. The object of his
inissiuu is to adjust Use difficulty between Gen.
Haknky and Douolass, the British Governor of
the Hudson Bay Company. The occupancy of a
small Inland by Gen. Harney aud bin troops
claimed by the British, and alleged by the Amer.
icatis to belong to the United States, is the cause
of these differences. It is surmised that something
serious may come of this affair.
We see nothing in it that may not be harmlessly
and without bloodshed, amicably adjusted.
There seems to be doubt as to whether tho treaty,
establishing the boundary lino between tho two
Governments, leaves this " spot of earth" to
British or Auierican.

PREPARIVB 70ft THE ONSLAUGHT.
The correspondent of the Charleston Mercury
guerees that Uie slave trade will be au issue iu
the next Legislature, but we venture to gueae
that his " gnese" will not come to pa?s. Hear
him:
"I 'guess' that the revival of the slave trade
will be rather fully discussed in jour next Levin
Iftture. as aevefol nKmbfn of thai body, recently
Kojourning It ere, have been ran Hacking the libra
ries fur historical facta bearing on (he subject,
aud seeking for modem information in various
w(ill-posted oircle*. Look out for aome ' setllent'
in the shape of speeehM."
Again the same correspondent thua alludes to
* new process of making winr :
" A new process of making vino from the
juices of orange and pineapple, is the latest scientific
novelty of the day. Th? wine is fres from
any injurious ingredient, and can b? made far
cheaper than 'the foaming grape of Eastern
France,' which it much resembles in taste, eobr
siul effervescence. The iu venter is now getting
out a potent for his races*. As opening a new
mutket for the two-Jnost dolicious fruits of the
South, this item may uofc l>e without interest to
your rcadcrii."
IS THEKE ANY TRUTH IN ITT
We liuve frequently seen statements in stiitto
of our Northern exchangea as to the cargoes
of wilil Africans that uro bcinjj landed ti|riu our
Southern Coast. We have no doubt but that
these statements are home times made l?y partie*
that know tlivin to be false. These beliefs
not only obtain credence among the ignorant
classes of tlio North, but have crept into the
brain of even such men us Judge Doiiui.ar, who
is reported to have asnurlcd that this slave I in fie
in extensively carried on in and about the Florida
Coast. The Florida 'J'riOuiie, in auswer to these
assertions of the " little giant," says:
" We have several timed seen it stated that
Senator Douglas haa usserted that some fifteen
thousand African nogroea have been landed
within the past eighteen Months on the ooatt ol
Florida; and that onrjroen would lie landed du
kiii: inu <:?niiii|r iuii iiiim winter between Juy
Wi'sl niii] I'clisucola. That Judge Douglas bo
lieves this story, we cannot fur h moment doubt;
Tot- we cannot .suppose that lie would give it currency
by his endorsement, knowing or lielieving
it to be untrue, merely to ' point a moral or adorn
it tale' of * /natter Hoocrciyntif; anil yet the story
is of such Munchausen proportions, so absurd
111h i its fnei', ho utterly improbable, if not impossible.
tlull if lie haw indeed circulated it, lie
has afforded tlie most striking, if not the only,
illustration of a confiding and gullablc nature to
lie found in bis whole brilliant career. Fifteen
thousand slaves landed iu eighteen months?a
little more than twenty seven j?vr duy for the
whole time !
'Those who havo repeated this 'canard'have
judiciously abstained from particulars. No
places, |H>rt.?, bays, vessels, agi nl - or times are
given, for these would at once have furnished
its refutation.
" We hope our friends abroad will regard this
' Florida African slave tiade' talc, us we know
it to he, Utterly destitute of truth. We know
that Mr lilaekburn, I'nited States Marshal of the
Northern District ot Florida, embracing all the
.State excepting the Florida Keys, has been
searching ami indefatigable in his watchfulness
ami inquiries upon this subject; that be has reliable
deputies and agents throughout the State,
appointed with special reference to it, and that
up to this hour neither be nor (as far as we can
learn) does any sensible man believe that a single
African has been landed within the State.?
The Marshall of the Soul hern District, embracing
Key West and the Keys generally, has been
equally uu the alert, and holds the same opinion."

I THE BLUE RLDGE RAIL ROAD.
The Cuinden Journal says of llic Blue Ridge
Rnit Road:
" Wo puppo.se tlial there in hardly n sane man
who is willing at this day to assert that we do
not need such a road in South Carolina to connect
us with upper Georgia, lower North Carolina,
Fast Tennnssce and ultimately with the
great valleys of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers.
If Mich an one can be found, to him we have
nothing to say. The great leadng idea with those
master spirits?Dlandiug, llayne, Elmore, Calhoun.
and a host of our wisest and best men?
was a great North-western rail road connection.
What a pity that so much of South Carolina's
greatness iu intellect, virtue and patriotism, lies
dead and buried. Now that we are almost ready
to reap the consummation so devoutly wished
for by those noble spirits we are interrupted, and
threatened with defeat. We would remark just
here, that our Spartanburg friends may rest assured
that if they defeat the Blue Ridge Road
their French Broad scheme will fail too, for if
the Legislature persist in refusing aid to the
lilno Ridge, certainly it could not 'commit an
act of such utter self abnegation,' as to allow
the means already expended to bo lost, and leave
a hair finisned road, and start ou a wild gooso
chase after the French Broad scheme, which no
doubt, if ever commenced, will present difficulties

THE DISTRICT FAIR.
We would remind Hie friends of tlio District
Fair, that tliey will have a fair opportunity next
week, (court week) of entering in tho Secretary's
Hook, their slock for exhibition. By making
their entries before the Fair, and getting j
their card of admittance, they can pUce their
stock on exhibition without delay. Make up
your rniud to contribute your mite in this noble
undertaking, and bring aloug jour fine animal*
handiwork and rare things. This will be the
way to improve one another, and for all to have
a glorious tiino in sight-seeing, fine speaking,
music and sociability.
We would say to those Life Members who

This will prevent delay and confusion at the

As there is some misunderstanding about tlio
advantages of the Life Membership over the Annual
Membership, we will state that any one
paying the interest ($1.05,) on Fifteen Dollars
annually entitles him and his family to free admission
to the Fait, and to exhibit whatever he
pleases without charge. An Annual Member
pays $1.00, and admits him alone to the Fair.
He cauuot take his family iu without paying for
their admission at thn gate.
Then again the Life Member is exhonerated
from paying this interest annually, when the Society
becomca dissolved?when the Life Member
removes from the Slat* or die* Either of these
three coutingenciea happening will annul the
contract. So every man who hag a wife, aud

I does not this suggest the propriety of tlio Legislature

The trade does nol require any lionus,

which infest every negro quaiter in the
State. .Here is an important branch of wealth
struggling for very existence, one that involves
an important rural product, and that concerns
every individual in the State, because it is n matter

and immunity panted to dogs, it is almost suppressed,

it would present u most startling record If the

could very speedily obtain effectual redress o(
this grievance. It would then ascertain that
very many fields which have been abandoned as
no longer capable of producing cotton, would
yield a crop of wool and mutton that would pay it
probably fully as well. It is to be honed that the

?The J/oithlr Ci/limler (Jin, which I purchased
of you in the beginning of the present cotton
Reason, has performed admirably ever since it
was put in motion. I have ginned more than
one hundred bale* of cotton, and have as yet
*een no objection to it's performance. It clean.1!
the seed well, motes woII and turns out a good
rumple of cotton. Mv (Jin has ninety saws, an
you aro aware, and I have ginne J eight and u
half, (HA) bulen of cotton weighing 500 lbs. during
the day. The cotton was damp when thi8
was dune, and since then, I have ginned by
piece-meal. I think I can gin ten bales per day,
when the cotton is in good condition. Thus far,
I am i .tislied with the (Jin in every particular.
ICeepcctfully,
J. C. COOK.
Messrs. W. G. Clkmos*, Biiowx A Co.
Dear Sirs: The Double Cylinder GO saw Giu,
I purchased of you last fall performs admirably.
It pleunes me better than any Gin, I have
ever seen, and I deem it a great improvement on
the Single Cyliuder G in.
I believe my Gin (ftOraws.) pulls my team no
harder tliun the old style 60 Haw Gin. It picks
faster and makes n superior samplo. I would
prefer paying double prico for it, to working the
Single Cylinder.
