Btll-rotd Commotion?-Aahertlle, Grcan

tad Columbia.
W? am ((ratified at the feet that the OWHmton
Merntrg and tb? 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

I ed to It, and greater In the proportion that rail
( road* attract more than atage road*. Th
jVrai mnat now begin to aee aotne rcajon wh;
tbla ronte by Ninety-Si*, la a fortunate one.
r The location of the Greenville and Colnm
) hla Rail-road, by Ninety-PI*, affor.l* to A aha
e vllle, and all that region, a communication dl
rect not only with Charleaton, but, aa befot
a atatrd, with Angnata and Savannah, Souther

eould give, benee tbia line of road would at

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.
Tho Political Situation---Convention or

called, the Slate and all its interes'a will he

( Ignorant and niiadirecled ncgroe?, especial,
ly in the middle and sea .soaat Districts. It
will be a negro government. AH who
, think sueh a govrci'inMit desirable, can ee
cure it by voting for a Convention. We
i have studied this question anxiously, close
ly and painfully, and in no factions apirH,
, without prejudice or hostility to any one.?
, We hava been aware that good men and
1 citizens have taken opjm?ite views of their
duly under the eiroumgtancea. Some hare
favored a Convention, and soma opposed it.
It comes within our personal knowledge,
also, that there are worthy citizens among
those who have joined 'he Union League.
Wc abuse no man. 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

should cast their votes against a Convention.

oo any blood ahod, because he wu opposed to
capital punishment anyhow, and that Congioss,
In the midat of the war, had reduced
the penalty of treason to In* and imprison

would, therefore, only tine him enough to take
away his Mississippi plantations, and let them
be sold out, at say half a dollar per acre, to
his old slaves, whose toil and tears had accumulated
tbcm ; that I had better suggoat this
to the oountry, and, after awhilo, go down and
preach to the negroes colonised on Davis' old
plantation*.

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.?
Science, or a knowledge of the lews of the
universe, must be the basis of that religion,
and the advancement to this knowledge .
must be attained by comparatively few,
from Astronomy to Sociology. To aeserd
to any. even of greatest men, any species of
worship similar to that paid by the fellow*
