than thai I should be called upon to preside
o*er your deliberations ; and my friends will
dome the justice to say that I have not
sought the position, as 1 certainly novor desired
it. 1 am nevertheless as conscious of
tho dignity and importance of this high of
flee as any gentleman can be, bnt should
have been far better pleased bad its duties
been entrusted to abler and nrorc experienced
bands. After witnessing the almost insurmountable
obstacles in the way of the organisation
of this House, I came to the conclusion
that any gentleman or' any party who
?ou)d eoraand a mnjority of votes for Speaker
was bound, in deference to tbe public exigencies.
to accopt the resporsibilitv as an act ol
patriotic duty, whether agreeable to bis personal
felir.gs or not. As that choice has unexpectedly
fallen upon roe, I have not hesitated
to accept it. In the execution o'f this high
trust my object will be to do ruy duty with
impartiality nnd justice to all.
I shall have great necessity, gentlemen,
for your indulgence in the new position in
which I am placed, and I fed entire confi- I
donee I shall recieve it at your hands.
A representative from tbo State of New
Jersey, upon whose soil so many brilliant
achievements ware accomplished in the Revolutionary

the Constitution nnd the Union, I pray the
great Arbiter of our deslinos that I may do
no act to impair the integrity of either, but
that, by wise and prudent counsels, peace
and* order may yet reign in our midst, and
our free institutions be perpetuated to our
descendants. 1 feel I have a national heart,

Again thanking you for your kindness, I

a few. It, however, assumed a serious aspect
when it was discovered that one Curtis was the

The Blue Ridge Railroad.
A meeting was held at Pickens Court ITnuee
on sale-day last, which was largely attended by
the citizens of that District The people of that
District arc alive to the importance of the enterprise,
and arc determined to spare no endeavor*
to further the p/ogress of the lloud. It i* clear
to our mind that the Bine llidge Railroad will
| be builL The State will either take up the
! Spartanburg extension or push the Blue Kidg*
| Railroad to the Georgia line. If the hitter is accomplished,
we feel certain that the Iliwasse
| Railroad front Clayton, Georgia, to Cleveland,
Tennessee, will be immediately put under contract.
We believe it to be to the interest of the
State to build the Blue llidge Railroad to the
Slate line, and, have no doubt but that the
Legislature will, at its next session, po#s such
measures as will carry the Koad onward.
Judge Fr.osT, the President of the Road, addressed
the meeting, and, in a clear, practical
and faithful report, gave a brief history of the j
enterprise, ite present condition and future proa- i
. pecta. The Kentire Courier enye, that " he showed
con*;!naively that tha road, in its present condition,
must be fruitless; recited, in strong language,
the benefits which had been derived from
the prosecution of the work thus far, and the additional
advantages which must result from a continuance
of the same. He appealed eloquently
for further aid, by district or individual subscriptions.
He explained the operation of the act recently
passed by the Legislature for making district
subscriptions, which appeared toatford general
satisfaction. Ho spoke at length, proving,
by incontestiblc facts and liitiirea. the v?i?i
poiuU made Mid position* assumed in liia speech.
Judge Frost \viih listened to with pleasure and
respectful attention throughout."

Location of the Bnmoh Bank.
An net was passed at the late session of the
State Legislature to establish a Branch Bank in
the northwestern part of the State. It is wall
known that tha citizens of Greenville, Anderson
hum nnutTiiK una vcen comenuing ror lU location
In their respective places. It is not yet known
at which oftbeae places it will ultimately be located.
We should not now advert to the subject
but for the misrepresentations of a correspondent
of the Charleston Evening Nru>*. So long as it
was a matter between the citizens of the places
above mentioned, we were not disposed to say
anything, believing that those who had the matter
in charge would locate it at the point which
would prove of most advantage to the State and
the people generally.
Hut the corespondent of the JTews (over the
signature of "Saluda") has made such glaring
misrepresentations in regard to Greenville and
its business, and exhibited such ignorance of
facts, that we feel it due to our citizens to set the
public right in regard to the matter, at least so
far as we are concerned, leaving Abbeville and
Anderson to correct the statements which have
been made concerning them. "Saluda" is an*
ions to have the Hank established at Greenwood
a point on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad,
in Abbeville District; a place whose chief attractions
are the cleverness of its citizens, and
where travelers procure the best dinners that
can be had between this place and New York.
Togi vc our readers an idea of what he thinks in
regard to the matter, we give an extract from
his communication :
" Let us. then, view the comparative merits of
each. Greenville is ton nwr the mountain*. and
the mine may l?e said of Anderson. The Itsnk,
*t either of those place*, mutt necessnrily be restricted
in business to a very email territory, having
no back country to sustain it. and would get
little or nothing from below. The tendency of
our people is to go down the country for bank or
mercantile accommodation*; and while the people
of the upper Districts would come down to a
Bank in this section of the State, we would not
g? up to ono In Greenville or Anderson. The
citizens of Anderson showed their belief in the
unprofitableness of a Bank at that place, by their
not establishing one when tlicy had a charter.?
They were unwilling to hazard their own capital
in tnch an enterprise, bnt profess to believe
it would be highly remunerative to the State to
do it. If a bank can not then be enetained at
Anderson, (Anderson herself being the judge,) we
are sure it cannot he at Greenville, a pTnce of
lese business and still less back country. These
objection* do not hold in so eminent a degree
against Abbeville, and of the three that is the
most preferable ; but that town, notwithstanding
the rosary of nsmes to hei petition, must also he
rule ou. when placed in the balance with Greenwood.
Abbeville has a population and mercantile
tiusincss about one-fourth larger than Greenwood,
and boys, I suppose, twice as much cotton ;
but*if these are to lie the measure of the Bank's
business site had better not branch out at that
pla.tc. Tiie true criterion to judge of the probabilities
of a Bank business at the two places is |
the books of their respective Bank Agencies and,
when that is done, 1-sir. sure that Green wood will
compare favorably with her." |
Let us see how far lie is right in what he say*.
We admit that Greenville is near the mountains;
but it poescsaas an almoet unlimited back country
to support it. The trade from North Carolina,
Kentucky and Tennessee must and will come <
to it. Jn point of population, it is far abend of
cither Anderson or Abbeville, whilst her exports
are in tho neighborhood of a quarter of a million,
and her trade is something over half a million.
The commerce of Greenville with North
Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky would per
force send the bills of the Bank into those State*,
where they are now neeesearily restricted, from
an inability to procure them. Again, he says
mat " u?o tendency of our people id to go down
tlio country for bank or mercantile accommodations."
If Ibid were the case, the location of the
Bank at Greenwood would avail but liltle, for
the Hank of Newberry, which ia located within
two or three hour* ride of Greenwood, would
continue to supply the wants of the people of
that section. The people arc now contpcll.
ed to go down the conntry hecauae there are no
banks, with the oxceptiou of the Bank <ff Newberry,
in the up-country. Ac a further inducement
to estahlidh the Bank at Greenwood, "Saluda
" aayj that it " can furnish as able a set of
Directors as any other of the {tlaces named, and
w ill furnish a lot free of coat for the erection of
the building." We doubt not that tike kindness
and liberality of the above otl'er will be properly
appreciated, but we doubt very tnueh if the bid
is qnite high enough to secure the object. The
State is perfectly able to purchase a lot on which
to erect a Bank building, and we suppose that
the placer, w hich he has so conteinptnously spoken
of, are fully prepared to furnish suitable Directors
for the same.
We deem it unnecessary to compare the relative
advantages 01 Grcenwoo-i and Greenville.
Every ot.e acquainted with the two pieces will
et once discover tliet there is searcely a comparison
when the importance of the looation of a
Rank.is to be discussed. We have no doubt hut
that the advantages which Greenville possesses
have been fairly presented to the proper quarter,
and whether she secures the Hank or not, her
friends are unwilling to have her merits (which
are second to no town in the up couulry) disparaged.

From the Lorain Co. Eagle, Ohio.
Maxy kinds of Tonic are advertised that we
are assured will strengthen the hair, and prevent
its falling out, hut none that we hare seen used
does all that it promises; save that of Professor
O. J. Wood. This we know is good from
having tried it. and witnessed in several eases its
truly beneficial effects. I)r. Wood was kind
enough to send us a couple of bottles, and after
finding that it prevented our hair from faliingout
we presented a bottle to a friend who had been
bald for at least thirty years: it has restored his
hnir entirely, and it Is unw as thick and glossy
as when he was twenty-five. This we say in all
sincerity, and we rhnlibe glad to have our friends
try it for themselves, as we believe it is just what
it professes to he.
Caution.?Beware of worthlegp imitations, as
several are already in the market, called by different
names.x Use none unless the words (Professor
Woods Ilair Restorative, Depot, St. leui%
Mo., and Now York,) are blown in the holtM,?
