Tiie convention that assembled in Ktioxville, Term., in aid of the 3!ue Ridge Railroad is encouraging as reviving the hope, that at a period not far distant, work may be commenced and this important link that will bind the west and the South Atlantic coast, together in a closer union, be completed. The west requires a short and direct route to the southern -sea board, to a port that has the capacity and depth of water to make direct intercourse with foreign countries remunera" tive, by reduciog the distance and bringing freights down to the lowest possible point. The building of the Blue Ridge Railroad will give them the one, a short route to the sea?Port Royal po. s-^s es the other advantages, being easy and safe of approach, and having such a depth of water that the largest vessels (and it has become an established fact that large vessels are the only vessels that can engage in such a trade at low rates of freight.) can take in and discharge their cargoes at }ier wharves. This is why we say it is encouraging to see that hopes arc still held out that the time will come for a re organisation of a company who will pudi forward the work necessary for its completion. It is encouraging to Port Royal. The Blue Ridge Railroad company as originally organixed was a consolidation of four companies, who had obtained charters in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Nor h Carolina and Tennessee, and was projected to run from Knoxville, Tenn., to Anderson C. H., in this State, the estimated distance at that time being 195 miles, but which by late surveys, has been reduced to 180 miles, 49 have been completed and are in running order, and considerable work has been done alone the eutire line. This road will be a trunk line from Knoxville to Rabun Gap, wheie it wil: maxe connection with the net work of railroads in Georgia and South Carolina, and by the construction of a short line to tap Aiken and thence to Allendale on the P. H.R.R. would make Port Royal the port through which the Northwest will open up a direct trade with the tropics, and Europe, by the shortest and most ?i ireet route. The road, taking the facts as set forth in a report to the Convention, from Anderson to the Georgia and North Carolina line, is in the possession, under proceedings in bankruptcy, ot the first mortgage bondholders. The charter of jhat portion of the road in North Carolina had lapsed, but has been re-incorporated under a new charter. In Tennessee the road is in the hands ol private purchasers. It is proposed to amalgamate these various interests and re-organixe a company, and in further ance of this object a convention will be held in March next, at Ander on. We shall watch with interest every steD that tends to the revival of this organization. . as through it we see Port Royal the port of entry for the direct commerce of the western states. It is contemplated under the auspices of the Smithsonian institution of Washington, and under the authority of the general government to form a national museum, to exhibit at the internation 1 exhibition at Philadelphia this year, specimens of mineral and metallurgical products of the country, and afterwards the specimens thus exhibited will torrn a por tioo of a national museum, where they will be permanently arranged and preserved. To carry out this object, Pi of. Wm. P. Blake, of New Haven, a scientist and geologist, has been entrusted with its organization, and has associated with him a co-operative committee of men of science throughout the country df which Prof. Charles U. Shepard, Jr , of the medical college of the State of South Carolina, in Charleston, is a membe r, to whom all parties desirous of sending spc ? ? ai* fko wtfi to Cimeus Ui lUC iuiuoisi wcanu u> me: kuu.v, . can communicate, and receive information on the robject The phosphate beds of this county can fttrnish specimens of great interest to this collection, and we hope the various mining companies will respond. Mr. Shepard thus speaks of the benefit the State would derive by the suo cessful carrying out of this project: "A complete collection of the various ores of South Carolina, embracing the products of her gold, copper, iron, manganese, kaolin, corundum, mica, ] hos phatic and other mines, exposed to view before the eyes of the world, first at the omtennial exhibition, and afterwards in the permanent museum of the Smithsonian institution at Washington, would serve as the strongest attraction to labor and eapi-1 tal alike* It is needless to add thit there j is a deplorable want of accurate knowledge j as to the varied and valuable mineral dc- ! posits of this State, even among her own j citizens, which may properly be ascribed i to the lack of anyiirge aud illustrative 1 . olhvricn her wiiieril pro.bicK The' rontem plated museum w -;iM not only oh-! riate this sad deficiency, hut prove a safe ; repository for such valuable specimens a-: miuht l>e useful to the scientist who should desire to study and describe the resources j r>f our ti in>.r We find in an exchange that the pres cut winter resembles the celebrate i win- ! tor of 1822-3. From all accounts that winter was as mild as tins, with even: * thin? in ftrfl bloom and full leaf all win tor. Vegetables of all kinds were to he h id di ri ig the whole sea on, and fires j were hardly ever needed; but on the 16th of February the weather suddenly chang- j ed in a few hours from .summer heat to j intense cold, and icc formed all along the > * * * * " 1- 1 ? ? * iwx ississi{>|>i neariy nonn u? mi- uiuuu?. I All tlie orange and many of' the fig trees ! were killed and numbers of oystermen j and fishermen were froze to death, as also | did many negroes in their cabins. Cattle and hogs froze to death in the fields and J woods, owing to t he rapidity of t he chance from heat to cold, it should be a wanting to us to make provision for violent changes after so mild a winter. ? No Homestead for Bachelor*. In'the U. S. District Court, in the city of Charleston, the case of I. K. Lauibson a bachelor, who having an adopted child living on his plantation and servant petitioned for the right of homestead, he being a bankrupt. Judge Bond rendered a decision adverse to lrim on the ground that it was the intention of the constitution and the statutes of South Carolina, under the homestead law to provide a home for the family, and that a bachelor was not entitled to the exemption. Tn his opinion, Judge Bond, in speaking of the meaning of the word family, says : 4; The word family, in its broadest sense, will include all the dwellers in a house under the common contro' of one person, and it is in this respect synonymous with household, but- it has a narrower signification and a more limited one, and is used to represent the progeny of common ancestors. And it seems to me this i3 the signifi cation the word family bears 111 the constitution of this State, for in the statute of South Carolina, passed to carry into effect the constitutional provision, after reenacting the constitutional clause the Legislature undertakes to provide for several contingencies which may arise in assigning the homestead, and it provides that if the husband be dead his widow and children shall be entitled, and if father and mother both be dead the children shall have it. The statute nowhere provides for homestead in a case where a person, who being a mere house keeper, having under his charge persons dwelling with him whom he benevolently supports, dies leaving real estate. It is always the case tf children and widow, and the reason is that the legislature had in its mind only that definition of the word family, which is limited to the parent and his or her progeny." The scope and intention ofall homestead laws is to protect from want the children of pecuniarily unfortunate parents. They are passed in aid of the family relation in its narrower sense, the relation of husband and wife, parent and child in the unit of civilization, and the State has thought to encourage that relatii i by protecting it from absolute want arising from the vicissitudes of life; but it has not by this act undertaken to make a dis tinetion among unmarried persons, favoring those who have servants from those who choose to exercise a charity towards others by giving them food and shelter from those who have not the ability so to do. " Fraudulent Cotton Claims. The Grand Jury of the District of Columbia have found a true bill against F. A. Sawyer, for conspiracy to defraud the government in the Parkman and Brook's cotton claim, for the sums of $24,315.75, and $33,297.28. It is alleged t^t Sawyer assisted in putting through the claim receiving therefor Si.000. F?A. Sawyer was assistant secreary of the treasnry under Richardson, and formerly a U. S. Senator from this State. Port Royal has suddenly become famous in the eyes of the nation, and has been appointed as headquarters foi the South and North Atlantic squadrons of the Amercan navy. A better place could not have been selected. The Port Royal harbor is one the very best and most se cure along the whole line of coast, and as a strategic point in the event of war with Cuba unrivalled. Congress will make an appropriation for the erection of government buildings and for the improvement of the harbor, we suppose, which will iutroduce money and population and be of benefit to the State. If Port Royal succeeds as some ot the more sanguine expect, Charleston will have a formidable rival and one not to be laughted at. D. C. Wilson, Esq., President of the Port Royal Railroad, has returned from his trip north, and makes an encouraging report as to Port Royal. The ne? > l? :i cessary tools ana macnmery mc railroad workshops at Port Royal are ready and will be shipped immediately. During the summer the extension to the docks will be commenced and by fall the facilities for trade, which is the only thing that has retarded progress this season, will be doubled. Two* engines with the necessary machinery for hoisting purposes will be placed on the wharves in a few weeks. In Washington. Port Royal is talked about considerably especially amongst those interested or connected with the navy, many of whom know its advantages for a naval station by experience during the war. The onlv element in opposition is that interested in other naval stations, fearing that Port Royal will be found so superior in every respect for such a purpose, as may lea i, in the general retrenchment that is talked about, to th?'!r being guarded n*. ?The town paid, on W-Mi^.esdny. h nonuanujr*.tTi-T i. g??gMPOPr ? MKBMBW?IBMttM NAVAL STATION OF PORT KOI'Al. i Commodore Clitz lo Hoist his Pennant on the line-of-baftle-ship NewHampshire?Fourteen Powerful IronClad:?A Splendid Naval Station. ? ! [F,tnn tk? *?<r York Her aid, January 21.] The establishment of a new naval sta-, t i<01 at Port Royal, which is to l>c the ren- j 1 ilezvous of t h? large portion of the United States fleet afloat, has made that splendid station perhaps the most important in the service. Within a month all the j available iron-clads and cruisers of the navy will have assembled in the capacious harbor of Port Royal, which in every way, is the finest and grandest basin on the Atlantic coast. Key West, Pensacola and Norfolk are, for the time bei ing, to be repair stations, and hence j forward, while the faintest war cloud lingers on the horizon, Port Royal is to protect such a fleet as has never before I been collected in American waters. The new dignity which the post assumes has made it necessary for the navy depart - * n i mcnt to order to ;t, as commander 01 tne station, an officer of high rank and of great skill. It has selected Commodore J. M. B. Clitz to assume the position of senior officer of the station, and he has been ordered to take to that point the linc-of-battle-ship New Hampshire, and to hoist his pennant upon her. He will be second in command of the North Atlantic, or home fleet, and will have, in the abs.nce of Rear Admiral Le Roy, the successor of Rear Admiral Mullaney, control of the forces put in commission by the government on our coast. He is the only commodore who flies a pennant afloat, and it is the universal sentiment of the service that no more gallant fighter or finer executive officer could have been Selected for the important position. Not less than fourteen "powerful ironclads, single and double turreted, will assemble at Port Royal before spring, and more than that number of efficient cruisers, well armed and admirably manned, will join the fleet, to be exercised in all the details of naval drill and made ready for any service they may be called upon to perform. Whether war occurs or not, it is certain that the drill and evolutions of men and ships will be of the greatest benefit to the service. Commander George Brown has been ordered by telegraph to Washington from the Boston yard, and it is probable that he will participate with Commodore Foxhall Parker in the manoeuvres of the fleet about to take place at Port Royal. The new corvette Vandalia, Couiman der Milton Huston, sails from Boston for Port Royal to-day. The corvette Marion, Commander Bradford, is under orders to proceed from Portsmouth, N. H. to the general rende zvous of the fle^t at the earliest moment. Rear Admiral Le Roy, who has just arrived from the South Atlantic station, and who will succeed Rear Admiral Mullaoy, will reorganize his staff on assuming command of the North Atlantic fleet. It is probable that Rear Admiral Frinchard will be ordered to the command of fiift Smith Atlantic suuadron as soon as the political exigencies will permit the navy department to detach from the home fleet two or three vessels for service on the Brazilian coast. At present every vessel available will be held at Fort Royal for any contingency which may arise. THE DO>'S AT PORT ROYAL. Looking after Uncle Sam's Ifavy.?Is It a Reconoltering Expedition? On Tuesday evening last, a rakish wicked looking steam cutter, flying the Spanish flag dropped anchor in Beaufort harbor. Wc learned tjiat it was a recent purchase of the Spanish government, in New York, and in coming down the coast visited Charleston. She came in at St. Helena Sound, and departed on Wednesd ly morning by way of Port Royal entrance, thus having a fine op]>ortunity to fake a good look at Uncle Sam's navy, notice the lay of the land, and study the charts, the depth of water, and the various channels, whilst on the spot. She took a pilot from this port. Forty Xaval Vessels at Port Royal. Mr. D. C. Wilson, President of tho Port Royal, Railroad, stated to a reporter of the Chronicle and Sentinel on Monday that fully forty vessels of the U. S. navy would be at Port Royal within thirty days. The authorities at Port Royal have offered the government a good location for a coal yard and repair shops. Mr. Wilsou has been endeavoring to effect a | contract between the government and the j proprietors of the Georgia Coal Mines for the delivery of coal from those mines, at Fort Royal, for the use of the fleet. We understand, however, that ex Gov. J. E. Brown says that the rates of freight between the mines and Port Royal are such | that he cannot compete with the Pennj sylvania coal companies, who can send | their coal to Port Royal by sea. Yet we I also learn that the Georgia Railroad has ; reduced its tariff on coal fully one half, | and that the Port Royal Railroad has ' also made a large reduction. Mr. Wilson, | ; who has just returned from a visit to Washington city, says that he made an I offer to the authorities to deliver coal j at Port Royal at seven dollars per ton, | but was answered that an offer lower than that had already been made. We feel satisfied, however, that arrangements will finally be made for the purchase of the Georgia coal. Redisricting the State.

I?. The Governor has sent a message to 8f the General Assembly in reference to the ! J: appropriation bill, which, as reported by the Ways and Means committee greatly exceeds the amount to be realized by the tax levies lie recomme nds a cutting down of salaries generally of public officers of state officers one third, to circuit solicitor no salary, and school commission- " ers one half of their present stipend, and v a reduction in proportion to county' r treasurers and auditors. A bill pre posing a reduction of salaries passed the | ^ House last session and he urges upon j the Senate speedy action thereon. Representative Bawpfield has introduced a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors within thiee miles of the Episcopal and Baptist churches in the village of Grahamville Representative B. Simmons reminds t the Superintendent of Education of his short-comings, by introducing the following resolution: j 4''Whereas, the State Superintendent of Education, in his seventh annual report, a part only of which was laid before a this body December 1, 1874, repeats g twenty-eight pages of his report tor 1874, j but makes no mentioh whatever of the . University of South Carolina, the highest and i|iost complete of the educatioual institutions supported by the bounty ol the State; and whereas, such an omission j ordinarily attrtbutable to an oversight, is ? the most marked and invidious when the 8 erroneous remarks of the superintendent last year, concerning the University are remembered. Thereiore be it. Rewired, As the sense of this House,. that in ignoring completely the increase of students at the University and marked ad- f vanee in discipline aud scholarship exhib- 1 ited during the past year, as testified to 1 by the very creditable commencement exercises, the aforesaid superintendent of e lucation has failed to perform that which ft evidently falls within the line of his duty. And be it further RexolvedThat the a foresaid report, which if presented in its pre ent form to this < House would not have been ordered printed, be returned to the superintendent of educatiou as unsatisfactory and biassed in the it formation furnished aud culpably t imperfect in what it omits. c A bill to levy a quarter of a mill tax to a finish the State House was rejected, on < low taxation principles. t The committee on privilege and elec- 3 ion are still wrestling with the charges made against our representative J. D. i Robertson, in reference to text books, i and have not yet reported. ' Representative Miller of Beaufort in- 1 troduced an amendmei t to the appropriation bill, to reduce the apppropra tion for the State Penitentiary from $40,( 00 to $30,000. Two years ago this , appropriation was over fifty thousand . dollars.
