WEDNESDAY. HOVEMBER 4. 1868.
R&ll-Road from Greenville to AsImvUI*.
Vf( are permitted l?y President Ilammett,
to puMirh the following Utter addressed to
liiin by R C. McCatla, Engineer of tha Cincinatli,
Cumberland Gap A Charleston Raili-ond
Oompeny. The suggestions which it
contains Mem to us important and wisely
calculated to promote the Interest of the
country and of the whole line of Rail Roads,
which would be placed in connexion by
an extension of the Road from Greenville
to Ashville. As we have repeatedly at
trinpted to show, this coooexion, if aoccta*
pUsbcd. would be more important and vainable
to Charleston than the Unban Gap
Road. The scheme nlaeea to
eaniiHUMiootioti with East T?nh?M?f, Kintuoky
ami Ohio. Just as well u the others,
but it does morn, it plaees Charleston in
communication with the heart of western
No-tli Carotins, and tddu region of eountry
iu North Carolina to the trade interest of
Charleston, equal to one of the largest New
England Slates in area, and probably soon
destined to tie equal in population, which
the Rabnn Road cannot do. There is oulv
HO miles or thereabout to build and the whole
Road, with the exception of four or five
tnilea, runs throngh an arable country, already
Inhabited, whilst the Unban run*
through rest distances of barren mountain*,
that never can be cultivated. There U no
comparison of the advantages of ths Greenville
and French Broad route, with that of
the Raban to Charleston atvl the whole
State, and it is the road that ought to be
first built, and ean Ue dona at onp t^ird the
sost of the other, even now. Another consideration
is, that this route cannot be tap.
ped liy Georgia, as the other will certainly
be, Ths intsrsst of the South Carolina
Road is likiwiee deeply involved in the
completion of thia connexion of Green viile
and Asheville, for the same reason that Charleston
is. The advantages to western North

that eeetion more than ever it was m- ilia
summer travelers. This woulJ be capo
dally the case so soon as Uie Air Lina Road
is completed, but even witlmut that a con.
keKiou at Aiken would give North Carolina
great advantages from travel.
We liope the letter of Mr. MeCalla, will
Ix seriously considered, and produce the
right sort of action.
Col. H. P. IlammetL, PretiJeut Greenville
and Columbia Railroad?Dear Sir : I wiite
briefly, for want of lime, to suggest the importance
of changing our programme<at an
early day.
I ain convinced that but few of as will
live to tec this great improvement cum.
pla ted, unless we at onee aet about making
w radical change. My plan Is to bold a
general meeting ami consolidate the entire
line from Cumberland Gap to Greenville,
South Carolina. Should that connection l?e
adopted, it would give the company more
sTengih to absorb your road to Aiken and
bu.ld shut link. A new company should
be funned, embracing this entire line, and
an able working man of financial ability
placed at the head of it- )Ie should then
< 9 ft vase the whole cottnlr}* Interested, and
wuki.li, up the people to renewed and Jeteriniued
action. Books should be opened
and numerous local meetings be be!:!
throughout the entire longlli, c..lioit *ut.
scrip'ions from individuals, counties, corpo
rations and Stales, jtaynble in cash, labor,
material, real estate, Ac., Ac. When organised
thus we can appeal successfully In
capitalists and until something of the kind
is done our efforts will prove of little avail,
l'lease think of these views, and ff you can
cor-cur, phase consult with vonr people.
Reepe et fully, and truly youra,

? ? WS ? TorniDa
and Potatoes.
These Most valuable crop* have generally
done well tbi* season. The turnip baa not
yet completed it* growth. Mr. Wii.mam
Goldsmith, of tbi* District, on last Monday
lett at our office certainly (be best specimens
of tbo Rutn Buga turnip that wo have ever
seen, and also a beautiful sample of very
iasge Globe turnip*. Mr. Golpsmitii also
gave u* some immense Yam potatoes raised
by hito, tbo finest that wo have met
wi'b. We should be much please-r to receive
from Mr. Goldsmith a statement of bis
method of cultivating?the turnip especially.
Being ono of our best and most intelligent
farmers, he could also give valuable hints on
many matters of agriculture.
Wc are nltvnys gratified to contribute In
any way to the promotion of successful farming,
and we take it as a peculiar favor of our
triends when they remind us of the subject by
their generous presents?snmpfe? of the fruits
of the earth. We are satisfied that with
pains taking and'judicious management our
climate and soil will riehly and abundantly
reward tbo hnsbandinan. Wo have boon
thankfully enjoying Mr. Goldsmith's bounty
since it was bestowed.

to offer the highost prices. A gentleman
