A^ Y_ mi'tec to prepare a repuri ctnu n pressivc of the sentiments of the citizen-5, in ri fer? nco to the cli.nge in the route of the mail, proposed hy citizens of a portion of Sumter District, to wit : ? Maj J. \V. Blakoney, Maj. Joshua Lazarus, Gen. J dines Gilles?ie, Missis. D. Malloy, G'orgo Goodrich, A. H. Kullock. and Capt. C. Vanderford. . At au adjourned meeting held in the same place on Thursday night the ltith inst., Maj. Blakcney CJiairmao of the Committe, prencnted the following Report and Resolutions, which were adopted, and ordered to be pub. lislied in the Fanners' G izette. The Committee appointed to consider the proposition of a portion of the citizens of SumVr District, to change the present mail route 1'otn the .\\;rtli to the South and South West, have had the same under consideration uid respectfully REPORT: That your Committee concur fully in the riews ? xpressed by ihe Citizens of Camden it a recent meeting: that it is inexpedient to har.ge the present mail route, which passes through Cneraw, Camden, and Columbia, so is to pass by Society Hill, Bishopville, and Siaw-slimo, as proposed by a portion of the i-itizena in Sumter District, and your Coinloit'ee cannot refrain from expressing their Jecided opinion that ttie views set forth in favor of a change, are untenable, either as being advantageous to the Post Office Department, or beneficial to the community at arge?That the proposed route would be of more advantage to the Post Office Department than the present, must depend much on Ihe amount of postage that would be received from it, and the excellency as well as the dieLance of the two routes. The postage that would be received on the proposed route from w here it would leave the present line, (between Cher aw and Fayetteville, N. C.,) ?n to Gadfden would nof~"exceed annually more than $lUU0nr ?150(1; Whereas the amount received on trie present route from the Towns i?f Cher.iw, Camden, and Columbia, is about ?I0,U0U without including the intermediate utfices. The proposed route would cause delays and difficulties 'ru*n which the present route is exempt, as will appear by a comparison of l|p* routes, the proposed route would cross the W'alcfse River, al or near iStatesburg, wii??rc I here is no bridge ?where frequently, a* your committee are informed, i: is impassible to i!foss the ferry at high water, Whereas the present route crosses the Walereo River at Camden on a Bridge, where tin drlay or difficulty can arise; Tijc proposed route would cross Lynch's Creek much lower than the present, where tho styaipp is much wider and more difficult to pass; Tlje proposed route would cross the Pee Dee River at ISopiety Hill where there is no bridge and where as is known to your committee, vyquld be delay and difficulty in high water, the present route crosses the Pee Dee River at Chcraw, on a bridge, with perfect safety at all times;?The presept route passes through and near a grain growing country; and much healthier than the o:.e proposed. Your Committee, therefore, have no hesitation in stilting thai by the proposed change of the present maij route, the chances of failures in (lie mail would be much enhanced, and tho number of passengers much diminished ; that it would he impossible for contractors to take the contract on as favorable terms as on the present route, nil of which would he detri. mental to the Department. But it is ' urged that the change would be advantageous to the community, now your cwft* mil tec cannot conceive what community , is to he hen' fitted by the change, unless it he the community of Statesburg and ' Bishopville, through which the proposed route would lead, and this your committee will admit, but at the same time with i great deference would state thnt the advantage \ypuld he given to these small communities at too great a sacrifice to other communities equally or more important to the Post Office Dcoarsment. The \ present route passes thro u^jhe j largest commercial Towns in the inwrior | of South Carolina* (viz.) Cheraw, Cam- I i den, and Columbia, nil a; the head of ) I?.wl t r. <1... i,r,,/liw.n n f 1 Ilfl * l*?(l IIUII, llllll III V? IIII.II I I u; piinint.b , tho surrounding country for several hun- ! ! dred miles is brought: also to and from which an immense number of individuals i I on business, must necessarily, travel; are \ these places, then, not entitled to conside- j ration, are they to he postponed with a i cross mail two or three times a week, and that too when thnv pay to tho department from ?10,000 to$l2,000annually-mereh to benefit a few persons residing at Stateshnrg and Bishopvillo, small villages 1 of no commerce or trade, and a few planters dispersed through the adjacent country, who may chance to take two or three * weekly newspapers. But. again, i.ot 'only will the immediate communities, Co. luuibia, Camden, and Cheraw, be ntfected i by this proposed change, but all trade to their markets, and also the Commercial j cities of Charleston and New York, are much interested in the continuance of the ' present direct line through these places. . But it is stated that the south western communities will he benefitted by this change because it will shorten the distance i and thereby expedite the mail some 3 or i 4 hours. Now, according to the information of your committee the great south i western mail route, is at present by Wil ' mington and Charleston, and intersects this route at Augusta, therefore the change i can at present he of no benefit to the , South West; hut oven suppose that our ! 14 foreign relations"should becomo embar O _ J rasscd and warlike, as intimated by the citizens of Statesburg and vicinity, nnd the great south western mail should pass t this route, (and here are two suppositions,) the proposed change would !hen not expedite the mail for the reason that the 1 delays nnd difficulties abovo expressed as I to tho proposed route would more than overbalance the difference in the distance ! of the two routes. And again, the rail i road from Gadsden to Columbia will be | completed in the course of two months and when completed the argument in faj vor of the change must fall. Your comHinheraJd Jhat there are numbers of cross mnilrbiite8~inrersecijaff at Cheraw, Camden, and Colombia, alt or ! which would he deranged by the proposed change. j Your Committee therefore recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: Resolved, That it is inexpedient to change the mail route which passes through Cheraw, Camden, and Columbia, to that proposed by the citizens of Stateshurt* in Sumter Distiict. and its vicinity. Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings he forwarded to the Postmaster General, our Senator* in Congress, our immediate Representative, the Hon. T. I). Sumter, the Hon. John Campbell, of .Marlboro', and the Hon. Edmund L)e- j j perry, of N. C. * Resolved, That a copy of these proceed- ! ings ho forwarded to VVadesboro' and , Rockingham, N. C., inviting the co-ope- j ration of the citizens of those places. From tho New Yoik American. rhode island. , There are no accounts from Newport today.
