Bird for assault and battery, was concluded,
the defendent being convicted,
after which Court adjourned until Monday,
when the case of the State vs.
Phillips for the murder of Sowell was
taken up, and-still occupies the attention
of the Court.
THE ELECTION.
The speaker of the House of Repre
amtatives has ordered an election to be

established the following tariff of freight
on cotton shipped from Camden to New
York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, per

THE COTTON CROP.
During the present term of our Court,
we have had opportunities of conversing
with persons from every part of
our district, and learning the prospect
of the cotton crop, and from every section
tho report is that the crop will be
short, estimated variously at one third
to one half what itat one time promised.
in/tvnnsari n rrc\ on a fian MM

fertilizers, it was expected that the crop
would largely exceed that of last year,
but it is believed by many that it will
not exceed, even if it reaches that amount.
The corn crop, except in a few favored
localities will be very short.
THE GEORGETOWN RAIL ROAD
COMPANY.
This company was chartered in 1859,
with tho view of building a road to :
6ade's Depot on the North Eastern
Railroad. After gradiug and building
trestles for about thirty-five miles, the ,
work wbs closed on account of the
Wkr. For various reasons, the road bed
was sold, as we learn from the Georgetown'
Tirites, and purchased by a number
of ptotuinent gentlemen who have
re-organized the company under the
Same of "The Georgetown and Lancaster
Rail Road Company," which "proposes
to build a road from Georgetown
to some point on the North Carolina line
ih Lancaster District.' when it is ex
pected the people of Charlotte will connect
it with a road from that city.
We find in the Times an article setting
forth the advantages of this road,
Which we intended to copy, but as all
these will be attained by the South
^Carolina Central road and have been
fully set forth, we scarcely deem it necessary
to do so, as our Georgetown
friends will doubtless find it to their
interest to nnite with us in building the
proposed Central Road.

As the official proceedings appear in
another column, wc will only attempt
here to give an outline of the remarks C
and opinions of these who addressed the (,i
meeting. Is
Dr. D. L. DeSaussure, of Camden, o', A
the part of the delegation from Kershaw r(
arose, and in a few remarks stated the
plan by which his section expected to 11"
raise the means by which to huild their a|
portion of the road, ilo explained the
views of the President of the road, (Mr. P(
MuLaurin.) and the facilities he had !"
been offi-rcd by capitalists tc aid him
in building the road. If we understood Ul
the gentleman right, Mr. McLaurin had
received a proposition from English < '<
capitalists to complete the road to Char- aI
lotto within two years, provided they st
could secure a subscription of one-fourth g'
of the amount of the estimated cost of tc
the road?the subscription to be either in of
land or money?the balance secured by
a mortgage on the road. That it was P<
the purpose of these capitalists to in- 01
n.ilonfl li rurliult oml crftllorc u. I til
loDg the line of the road fur the pur- h<
pose of raising cotton to supply the in- H
creasing demand of English iuatiufac F"
turers. lie stated that the people of sl
Kershaw were in favor of the road, and cf
were willing to be taxed to secure the P1
building of it through their county. ?i
- 31 r. Moore, on the part of the delegation
from Lancaster was called on.? i a'
lie said the plan of the people of Lancaster
was to raise SliOO.OUO by taxation ^
to assist in building the road. That h<
(hey considered this.the best and most v:
equitable plan?as casting the burden
not on a few individuals, but distribu- fii
ting it among all who arc to be ben fitted
by the proposed entcrp-ise. That "
they did not desire the roau to stop at *c
Lancaster, but go on to its objective "I
point?Charlotte; the place where they P1
had done most of their trading and
where they wished to do it in future. a'
Dr. C. J. Fox was called on, and in i 01
a few remarks elucidated his views on
the subject. He advanced many strong 1
points in favor of the enterprise, and Sl'
showed conclusively that we run no risk ^
in aiding the road, that the increase of Ct
business, of travel, and the opening of sl
a short outlet to the sea, would fully rc
repay us ftfr what might be required of
us to build the road. 1}
. We will take ?his occasion to congratulate
the friends of the enterprise in 0I
the possession of so staunch advocate
as IV. Fox. Ilis influence is known
and felt, in such matters, and when he
takes hold of t! cm works with no en- a)
ergy and will that knows no ceasing. tl
El-Qovernnr Vanco was called on. jr
He approved the project, and was pleas- w
cd with the views and propositions ad- ol
vanced by the delegates. 0'
Gen.Rufus llnrrinsrer being called on, m
arose and made a few stirring and appro- m
priate remarks. He showed that for ei
every dollar invested in railroads there si
as a return of Gvc; that railroads had
lade us what we now arc?the centre
f a large aud increasing trade y and
liis road would but add to our prosperity
s a business ccinmnuity by increasing

5 subscribe to the road, and willing to
e taxed besides to Tielp build it. lie
lid that wc used to trade at Charleston
nd should have always done so; that
ur merchants could import their goods
tirough that city as cheap as by way of
lew York ; and if this road was built
c would ultimately import all our goods
lirough the port of Charleston, aud thus
uild up and enrich our own cities; that
; was our duty and to our interests to
o all we could to build up and establish
out hern seaports. lie believed the
nad would pay; all the roads in the
ounlry without exception, were paying,

liat the city and county were indebted
i the railroads for the greater portion
f their wealth?and the more railroads

Mr. Connors, of Lancaster, was called
n. lie believed they could offer the
uterprisc iu a light that would be aceptable
to the citizens of Mecklenburg;
aat there was no question as to the
arnestnoss of his section on the subject;

in other communities we wot of, which

Tuesday evening, September 14, the folj'.
lowing Preamble and Resolution were
y adopted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty
i- God to remove from our Companroosh^t'
iu the labors of the Lodge and the geo
uiai hours of refreshment, our esteemed *
* and worthy brothers, Thomas W. Sald
mond, and Jacob S. Depass, since our
" last regular communication, the occa>.
siun requires, as our hearts impel us,
r while we reverently bow in submission
'1 to the will and pleasure of the Grand1
U Master of the Universe, who has sumh
moucd them away, to make some re
cord of their amiable and exemplary
career ns Masons and as men.
Brother Salmond's Masonic carceif
was not of Iflng duration. He enterd
; ?'d as an apprentice to thj mysteries of
! the craft ou the 26th of June, 1866',
^ xand wns raised Master on the 2nd day
j of May'67. H s issociatiun^Uh ussioce,
c has been of that uffoetiouate and really
ll fraternal nature, so peculiarly and ap-'
e : propriately inculcated by the spirit and
teaching of Masonry. It is enough to*
say that to us it added a grace to thatf
J j estimable, admired and beloved charac- .
>s 1 ter. which, as a gentleman, a citizen, a
}" ' patriot, a physician and a sbldier, he
ever sustained in the social circle, in the
y sick chamber, in tho hospital and on'
e the field of carnage. IIis was an unIS

r" zeal for the cralt, guided Hy an excel- ?

:n with unceasing vlgihmce, guarded a-'
t' gainst a breach of our laws or the*
10 slightest infringement of the venerable
1 usages, of any profane innovation upod'
r" the ancient landmarks.: The finances'
a and charities of the Lodge, in years
50 gone by, were the peculiar objects of
his care, and his prudence ai d discrem
tion, contributed much to their faithful
and w ise administration. Separated for
years past from our more intimate as-'
10 sociation. he was little know'n as a Mau
son to our younger brothers, But fliosfc
,'t' of us who knew him butto appreciate the
s worthiness of his character and the rer"
eoids of the Lodge attest his punctual'
!"" and devoted attention to the duties of
Masonry. Full of years, he is gathered
ri ' to his fathers?the example of his good
1(1, works' is lelt to us for our emulation.
Ie | Thus, two of our worthy brothers have
K' gone before us, within one short week.
