A correspondent of the Sumter DiapatcK nomi- 1 nates this gentleman for the office of Governor ' nt the next session of the Legislators. We regret that Gov. Gist is not eligible for another term. But as such is the caee, we know, of no man in the State wc would prefer above Mr Wxlsof. , The Blue Bidge B&ilroad. The necessity for finishing this enterprise as far as Clayton, Georgia, is becoming more apparent ever)* day. If South Carolina will push it forward to that point, we are satisfied that the people of Georgia will build the Iliwaasee Road to Cleveland, Tennessee, and that make it profit* rble nt once to this State. If necessary, let the | Knoxviile route be abandoned for the present, \ Hltd build llifl lliwmuWA Rnsd (is far na tlu? snimsr . mines in Tennessee. Whenever thai Road ie j | built, it will enrich tlie State, and make the a Greenville aud Colamhin Railroad, which is now , in as good running condition as any in thtflSouth, , as profitable as the State Road In Georgia.' We j ehnR continue to advocate the building of the , IUuo Ridge Railroad to Clayton, believing it to be to the interest of the State, and to the people , of Greenville especially. South Carolina must ( and will have a connection with the West. If | the Blue Ridge is abandoned, the .Spartanburg j route will be taken up, and the people of Greenville arc certainly not so blinded to their own welfare as not to see what llieir condition would be, if the North Carolina trade, which is now the very life of our business, is diverted to Spartanburg, Union, and other Districts east of us. Tlu advantages of the Hiwaweo route are so fully aud impartially set forth in Gov. Johnson's veto meseage, that weinteml to publish that document next week. It will be reMtcmbered that , the Dill to charter una rosa was twice vetoed by Gov. Joux&ox, but it was afterwards sanctioned by Gov. Bbow.n, and we have no doubt will be speedily built after the Blue Ridge Road is finished to Clayton. As we have been proscribed by a few for ov.r position on this subject, we publish tlic following letter iroin a subscriber, in the eastern part of this District, and less interested, perhaps, in the'Blue Uulge Road than hundreds of our citizens : . " W. P. Pbick, Esq.?Editor Southern Enterprise: I have lived to the age of forty six years, and have, at this time, taken up my pen, for the first time, to write for a newspaper. 1 saw in your Jiaper week before last, that, a subscriber had or- < lered his paper stopped, because you had expressed the opinion that " in the present aspect of things, the Blue Ridge Railroad would be built, and the sooner the better." I heartily express the sauie opinion with yon, and would like to see editors advocating alt.such enterprises that. I have been surprised to see men of infincnce sit still and do nothing about that Road, after there has been so much money spent, and then to let the enterprise fail. Well, Mr. Editor, for every subscriber you lose by advocating thAt Road, I will ttse my influence to obtain another. I now liAve one for you, in place of the one you have l< at. So speak lond for .railroads. I have been taking your paper for two years, and I'm wot tired yet. - Yours, truly, " A SUBSCRIBER." The Students of Tarnan University and Southern Manufactures. At a meeting of the Student* or Forman University. heM on tiie 20th insL, the following Preamble and Keeolutions were introduced by Messrs. T. 8. An ins, K. 11. Henac and C. A.

I tab* opportonity of thus pabliely teudering to him my thanka for many favors received at hie hands: and would advise all persons coming to this city, to tnks one of the sevo- ' rsl omnibuses which run to tho Screven House, satisfied that they will not regret their eholee. The readers of the Bnierpriss will, no doubt, m surprised to learn how quickly the trip can be made from Greenville to this place. Leaving Greenville at 4 o'clock, A. M., on Monday morning, I reached Savannah Tueeday (yesterday) morning at half past ? o'clock, stopping one hour and a half in Augusta. The whole distance?which la something over four hundred miles?was aecoraidished in about twenty-six hours. The Greenville road is in moat excellent running order, and eo well la it being managed, that wo seldom hear of any accident upon the road. The conductors are all clever aod obltging gentlemen. What we have said in regard to the Greenville road, Is equally the condition of iliiaga upon the South Carolina road. We cannot say as much coneerniug the Angu^p and Waynesboro' road to Mitten. This may be accounted for by the absence of tbe eonductor, whoit appears, was prevented by a combination of circumstances from reaching the depot in lime. Uis place was supplied by a young ninn who enjoyed the comforts of the only fire on board, and that was in the mail ear where travelers were prevented from going. The Centml Road, which we took at Millcn, is n fine road, and is, perhaps, doing the moat lucrative business of any rail road in the Sonth. The denot of thia roa/1 in Savannah, is, ! learn, the largest railroad dc|>ot in the United States?covering an area of about acres. Savannah, at this season, is doing a large business. The merchants have imported largely, and | I am pleased to perceive that merchants in Geor- I gla, and particularly those in the South-western i portion of the State, and in somaeounties of Ala- | bam a and Florida, are procuring their goods here. As a cotton market. Savannah stands next to Mobile, and Mobile is equalled only by New Orleans. I was somewhat surprised to learn that Savannah exported more cotton than | Charleston, but from the information before mo, | [ ain satisfied that such is the case. i Politics are discussed in all places and at all | Limes. Whilst I write, the Democratic State ? Convention is being held at Milledge.ville, to send I Delegates to the Charleston Convention. The < it a to is sotrtCwhat divided as to the nominee of 1 he Convention. Cobb and Stephens appear to i tave about an equal number of fricuds; but my ? mpression is, that neither will receive exceeding i ten votes at Charleston. Stephens is to be pre- t perrcd. As to reliability, there is as much of this t article in the composition of a Washington letter- i irriter as in Ilowell Cobb. It is certain, how 1 sver, that Georgia willaupport the nominee, even I if it be Douglas, who, by the way, is a favorite < with many leading men in the State. I Considerable disaffection exists as to the high i rates of board to be charged during the sitting ' jf the National Convention. Arrangements are | being made here and in Augusta to charter boets i lor the accommodation of Delegates and other*, i In this way I understand that the expense will < not Exceed fifty dollara for the round trip. i Beyond all question, the city of Savannah beat* i all places I have ever eeeu for rand. It is very fine?more like dust than anything else. It ia impossible to walk the streets, particularly at this time, without becoming covered with it. Almost i everything appears to partake of it The cili tens of Savannah, generally, have sandy hair, sandy complexion, and it may be that there is sand in the cotton, (this is quite an evil in some places,) and for aught 1 know, there may be a slight sprinkling of sand in the augar?particularly that which is kept exposed before tbo retail grocery stores. There are some things, ho ?. ever, about Savannah, which are not to be found in all places. 1 allude to its open squares, which are to be scattered throughout the city. These are generally enclosed, and are well adapted for the sports of children, being covered with grass and shaded by trees?the Pride of China being principally used. In some of the principal streets shade trees are .planted in the middle or centre, thus affording a pleasant w alk at all times of the day. The squares, or parks, above alluded to, are much resorted to in the afternoons, being free frotn the noise nnd dust which prevails in other portions of the city. In Monterey Square is a magnificent monument to " Count Pulaski, the neroic roic, who ten, mortally wonnaM, lighting for American liberty, at the siege of Savannah, 8th October, 1778* The following description, which i* taken from a lute number of l)eBow's lie view, is a very'good one, mid 1 take the liberty of copying it: M On one side is the representation of a soldier loosing his life fighting; wounded, he falls from his horse, while still grasping his sword. The Coo tof-Arms of Poland and Georgia, surrounded by branches of laorels, ornaments the cornice on two sides; they stand together, while the eagle, emblem of Liberty, Independence and Courage, rests on both, bidding proud defiance?the eagle being the symbolic bird of Poland and America. The cannon reversed on the enrners of the die are emblematical of military losa and mourning, while they give the monument a strong military character. The shaft is surmounted by a highly elaborate cap, which adils lofiineas and grandenr to the atrueture. The whole is surmounted by a statue of Liberty, holding the American flag. The parlnmlA surrounding tue eoiniun, show that Liberty, now, is a young And bloorog maiden surrounded by flowers." The monument is of marble, and is a handsome and elaborate work of art. Altogether, it is oae of the moat beautiful and imposing monuments i hare erer seen, and reflects the greatest credit upon the patriotism and generosity of the citizens of Savannah.? rite comer stone was laid in Johnaton's Square by G*n.

Hy all means, road to them for a catalogue, and see what they have. And now a word or two about the celebrated Jsrpwr Spring, a desire to aee which led me first to vitit the nureery about which 1 have hoen writing. Tho rpot Is memorable from tho fact,' that there, eeveral American prisoners were, during the revolutionary wur, rescued from the British guard, by dcrgeonte Jasper and Nesrton. The story ie familiar to almost every school boy. 1 remember having read it when n mere lad in the life of Gen. Marion, and have alwaye longed to stand upon the spot which witnessed a deed so full of patriotism and disinterested love of Iiome, of friend* #nd country. Serjeant Jaaper belonged to the td South Carolina Regimentand whilst out upon one of his excurxions, -when the Britieti were In tha poMCMlon of Savannah, and bad earapa in different part* of the country, be heard the distressing complaint* of tbe wife of one of tbe prieonera?a Mr*. June*. Her husband wu confined in irona, with other prieonera, and waa, the next morning, to be removed to Savannah to be hanged. All th* aympalbica of hla heart war* arouaed in behalf ot the prieonera, and he determined to rcaena them at (be riek of Ma own life. Ha waa accompanied by Sergeant Newton?a bold and daring man?and concealing themaelve* in the bushe* near the apring, at which they supposed the guard would atop, they awaited their coming. Only two of the guard were left with the prisoner*?the other*, leaning their gnn* against a tree, went to the pring, whieh 1 take to be about forty atepafrom j die road. At tliia nument, Jasper and Newton, ipringing from their concealment, seised two of | .begun*, shot tbe two sentinels, and took possesion of ilie remaining arms and the prisoners.? rise guards, tlir.s disarmed, were powerless, and nimediatcly surrendered. The American prison- 1 irs bad their chains removed, and musket* placed ' fl ilwir linn.la n/1 |ou?anm ia* insn t liana of lh?

There are other places of interest about Savannah, but I have been unable to visit them, from want of time, lids city was founded in 1733 by Gen. Ogletliropc. It stands upon a bluff, forty feet above low-water. A person can step from the street into the fourth-story of the houses <?n the side next to the river. The city is abon eighteen miles from the Atlantic Ocean, ar . is, from the very nature of its location, free .rom inundation. It is subjeet, I ke Charleston, to the yellow fever, hut, at ail other seasons, it is considered quite a healthy place.
