The enthneiasm was tremendous. The sermon gradually rose in grandeur and power, nntll it reached a point where the universal outburst of feeling teemed Imminent. It was directed to the ministers. Said an old Presiding Elder: "Well, none of the preschers will locate after that, and some of them will refnae to go to their appointments." An eminent member of the conference said: " It hae always hern hitherto a question with me as to which was the greateet sermon I ever heard.

Charleston Daily JVirat both published ibe account which the Knter? prtae ipre of the recent Rail-mad meeting al AsberllK North Carolina. Inasmuch aa th? Wm> brmti to In "In a foe" on the auhlect | r? Uk? ptmnn in explaining nor* partieubr); ths Important point* suggested IP the I rery compendious and imperrect report of the ipeeebw made on the oooaaion. | First, then, as state J by one of the speakers, (CoL Towxne.) the location of the Greenville and Columbia Railroad la fortunate, becanee, by running in nearly a straight line to NinetySix, it thus far la located on the right line t? Aiken and Augusta; both places are ahoul equidistant from Nioety-Rix, and to thai point the eld stage and wagon road from Greenville was common in traveling to aitbei or those places. By the common road botfa are 110 miles distant Irons Greenville. The . distance to GranltcvMe is aboat tho same.? From Aiken to Charleston, Is 120 miles, thus the Afar* will see that tho old road way from Greenville to Charleston Is, by tho way ol Aiken, 230 miles. New, allowing eight miles for any rail-read divergenee between Aiken and Greenville, and you have, at farthest, a rail-road line of 238 miles. The distance by stage from Greenville to Columbia, is one hundred and twelve miles.? If the Greenville and Columbia Road bad run straight, from Greenville by T.anvens Court ITouso to Columbia, It would have been by the Broad River route. Its present location, about 120 miles In length, from Columbia to Charleston?by the South Carolina Rail-road is 130 miles j thus making, by the Lanrsns rontc, a distance of two hundred and fifty miles from Greenville to Charleston. But the ltail-road track now makes a turn at Ninety Six, and recrossing the Saluda River, crosses Bush , River and goes by Newberry ; still turning to the left below Newberry, crosses the Broad River at Alston, twenty four miles ahors Columbia, making a distance from GreenvilU . to the latter place by the present route of 143 ^ miles. Having these facts before tho mind, it musl be pereeirod that, by the way of Aiken, v? have the nearest distanco .rom Greenville tc Charleston, and that the Greenville and Co. lumbin Rail-road, as far as Ninety-Six, rnui nearly a direct course for Aiken. Anothci important fact remains to bo considered. Tb< Columbia and Augusta Rail-road mut< runs at a place, known as Lots, in twenty-fire miles of tho Ninety-Six Depot, and unite) with the Sonth Carolina Rail-road at Ornnitoville. a few miles above Aiken : there will be therefore, only twcnty?five mik* lacking tr give Greenville a continuous rail-road trncV to Charleston, by the nearest of all routes, anr a saving of thirty milea or moro of rail-ron<i travel and transportation aa compared will the preaont route by Columbia. It would di more than this. The route by Aiken tr Charleston, with trifling exception* a ridg* route, ia free from all danger of interruption* by frosheta, destruction of bridges and trestlework, and the serions harards and deiaya tr travel and trade to which the rente by Columbia mnat always be exposed, and which U hni frequently encountered on the Ilrnad Ilivei and on Crim's Creek. Below Columbia,"also the trestle-work on Congarce, bridges, Ac. exposes the rail-road to occasional breaks from high water ; besides, the Booth Carolina Railroad has always discriminated in the charge* on the Columbia and Ilamburg tracks, and although that is recently h;on wisely remoredi it may be only a temporary thing, and there remains the danger of extra freight to bo encountered on the Columbia route. The advantage of the location of the Green* ville and Columbia Rail-road through Abbeville, by Ninety-Six, great as it will be by extending it to Aiken from the last mentioned place, as already shown, in shortening the distance and givirig a fine ridge route to the Charleston Rail-road at Aiken, acquires twofold importance when we look at the fact that Ninety-Six is in the route to Augusta, the Savannah River at Augusta, and the city Of Savannah by both river and rail-rood. It is the route therefore to connect Grecnvilio the nonr est way with Midddle and Southern Georgia" Florida, Montgomery and Mobile, Alabama' New Orleans and Texas, even by the way Oj New Orleans. Upon the construction of th* road we have Indicated from Ninetv-Six tr Granite* ille, tbe travel from the remoter place we have mentioned, reeking the nearer) and moat delightful mountain region of th< Atlantic Stater, would And ita way by Augu* ta, Ninety-Six, Oreenrllle and Aabeville. Rj tbe propoaed route Aabeville la brought witbii about ITS milca of Augusta. Tbe time waa when rammer travellera wen aeen, in Greenville and Aabeville, from Augaa* ta, Savannah, Macon, Colnmbwa, Montgomery Ala., coming by private carriage! or publit tagea. Tbey were aa nnmerona from Middh and Southern Georgia aa from Cbarleaton ant the lower country. The rear on waa, that thej then had no other roeda to travel but the wag on and stage roada and Greenville and Aabe villa and the reglona about them, were th< neareat mountain country to he reached b; the common roada. Let tbia aection hare rail roada rnnniffg toward* and connecting will , Augusta, and the tame travel wonld he reator I ed to It, and greater In the proportion that rail ( road* attract more than atage road*.

Sixty milc< of rail-toad between Greenville and Aakerllle will luffloe for Charleston to roaliio 1 all the benefits oo long expected from the Blue Ridge or Rabun (lap Rail-road, which la Indefinitely mm pen dad. Charleston would realise ' greater benefits from the jkahevilia and French 1 Broad route through Kaat Tenueaaoe, than it avar could roallso by the Blue Ridge route, in aa much as, In ita whole dlttance, the former ' runa through a populated and produotlre country, wbtcb the latter doea not ; l-caldrr, ( it haa been demonstrated that the French Broad route ie the abortcat, by a great deal, to ' connect Cbarleaton with the West. It la true, ( tbla calculation was Brat made in roferenco to I the route by Spartanburg, but we bare fully shown that the route by Greenville, NinetySix and Aikei la about aa near aa any that ean be obtained fmm Ailmliu ad on the Mf?it ground. Build tho road wo have mcntionod ud Charleston will bo diroct( ly connected hy rail with every District in the , Stale: Abberille, the finest District in Sooth I Carolina; Anderson, Pickens, Greenville, the nppsr part of middle Edgfleid also. The other , Districts have already direct connection with the city. The intention of the lliue Ridge Company was never to dopend on reaching Charleston by Columbia, but by way of Aiken* This route, thereforeis nothing new. The material inquiry rema'ns, who will build 1 Ibis sixty miles of road from GrecnvIPe to Asheville? Wo think that every section ought to contribute according to its Interest and ability. And when the great advantages, the scheme of such a road are understood, as they w'll be on examination, we may reasonably expect that aid will be contributed by Western North Carolina, East Tennessee, tbo cities of Kentucky, Knoxvil'e, Lexington, Louisville and Cincinnati?, and by every Dist.-let on the route in South Carolina, and the cities of Charleston, Augusta and Savannah, and Co* lumbia also ; for that central city of this State would bo connected with the West by the same lino, and would receive precisely the benefit, and even greater, by this route, than by the Rnlmrn Gap route, which have boon considered of sneh vast importance. The Greenvillo and Columbia rail stock would Immediately become valuable, whenever tbo Road i? oxton, ded to Asbevilie to meet the road from Tontves, see building to that place ; in fact, at soon as I it is hopefully commenced, and this company could afford to snbseribe a million of its stock ^ to the undertaking, with wall grounded reliance that its stock and bonds would be at par directly. Thero arc immense interest extend* ing from Charleston and Savannah to Cincinnati), concerning the business and trade of at least six States, all vastly to bo promoted by buildlug a rail-road from Greenville to Asbevilie, because it will complcto the grcnt work of connecting the Northwest and 'bo Atlantic States by the nearest and best route.

We have published articles on lioth sides. We are willing to giva all due credit for g<>od motives to tha different advocates of different views. The Reconstruction Acts, so calied, of the Con grass, last Spring, certainly vouchsafe, mid all their dictatorial restrictions upon ..? ? |-v|-o i(its oouwiern Miui, 111* right to vote for or against a Convention.

Tjt Dbab Bib?I reeeived your eireular of the creed of Positivism. It seems to hum yet difficult to reduce to e eultus or religious formulary, the philosophy of Positivism.?
