RAIL ROAD MEETING.
On Monday, a meeting of the Citizens
of our Town and District, was held in the
Town Hall, according to appointment.
On motion of Col. Preston, Dr. DeLeon,
the Intendant, was called to the Chair,
and Mr, A. S. Johnson appointed Sccrc
tary. The meeting being organised, the
Chairman explained its object Col.
Standing read to the meeting the result
of his correspondence with Mr. Ravonel,
President of the Charleston Rail Road
Company, and stated that the proposals
of the South Carolina Canal and Rail
Road Company, to permit the Rail Road
from Branchville to Columbia, which is
within their exclusive charter, to be con
structed by an independent Company,
had expired in consequence of the sub
scription to the stock of the Columbia
Rail Road Company not being filled
within the time limited by their charter 1
and that on his application to Mr. Ravc
tiel, the South Carolina Canal and Rail
Road Company, at their semi-annual
meeting last summer, passed a Resolu
tion, authorizing their Board of Direc
tors to renew the proposals to the Colum
bia Company, should the said Board deem
it expedient He thereupon submitted
the following Resolution, which being se
conded, was unanimously adopted.
Resolved, That a committee of three
be appointed to confer with the Directors
of tne South Carolina Canal and Rail
Road Company, and ascertain if they are
still willing to permit the Rail Road from
Branchville to Columbia, to be construc
ted by a new Company, on the terms of
fered last year, and on receiving a favor
able answer, the Committee do apply to
the Legislature, to authorize the forma
tion of a company for that purpose. And
in case the Directors should not permit
the said Road to be constructed by an in
dependent Company, the Committee do
respectfully urge the present Company,
to open subscriptions tor new Stock both
in Charleston and Columbia, on such
terms as they may deem equitable, for
the purpose of raising the amount suffi
cient for the speedy construction of the
said Branch.
Whereupon, the Chairman appointed
the following gentlemen a committee:
A. Blending, John Preston, and Robert
Latta, Esquires.
Col. Blending read a part of his cor
respondence with Mr. Williams, Civil
Engineer of Cincinnati, from which it ap
peared that the Sandusky and Mad River
Hail Road was in progress, from the
steam navigation of lake Erie, to Spring
field, in Ohio, and that Mr. Williams had
lately examined the country from Sw ing
field to Cincinnati, which he found favor
able for the construction of the. Rail Road,
and that he had no doubt it would be soon
accomplished. Col. Blanding then ob
served, that were the line of road be
tween Columbia, (S. C.) anil Paris, in
Kentucky, provided for, there would, be
yond doubt, be a continuous line of Rail
Road from the city of Charleston to Lake
Erie, a distance of one thousand miles,
extending through five States, entirely
across the Union, passing through every
variety of climate, and embracing almost
every production of our wide extended
country —that this circumstance must
give it” a decided preference over most
similar undertakings in our country,
since their courses generally followed the
parallels of latitude, having no variety of
climate or of natural productions. He
observed that he should not trouble the
meeting with any details of the immense
importance of the work, in all its com
mercial, social, 'political and defensive
bearings, as they were already before the
public, lie should, therefore, recom
mend immediate action, lie submitted
the following Resolutions, which he pro
posed for consideration:
1. Resolved, That in the opinion of
this meeting, the best interests of South
Carolina require that efforts should be
immediately made by the government and
citizens of the State to construct a Rail
Road from Cincinnati on the Ohio river to
Charleston.
2. Resolved, That the chairman ap
point eleven persons who shall be a com
mittee to prepare and present petitions
to the Legislatures of South Carolina,
North Carolina, Tennessee and Ken
tucky, praying for the incorporation of a
company for constructing a Rail Road
from some point on the Rail Road con
tracted, or to be constructed bv the South
Carolina Canal and Rail Road Company,
to the Ohio river near Cincinnati, or to
some point on a Rail Road which may
begin on the Ohio river and terminate iii
the State of Kentucky. And that the
said committee endeavour to obtain, if
possible, such uniformity in the enact
ments of the several Legislatures, as may
confer on the said company similar pow
ers, privileges and restrictions in each of
the said States.
3. Resolved, That the said committee
present petitions to the said legislatures,
praying that each of them will make an
appropriation of a sum sufficient to defray
one fourth of the expense of a reconnais
sance of the route of the said road, and of
preparing estimates of the cost of its con
struction, (he probable profits of trans
portation on it, and the benefits it is like
ly to confer on (he country ; and further
praying that each of the said legislatures
will appoint one or more commissioners
to meet, early next year, at New Port in
the State of Tennessee, for (he purpose of
procuring the said reconnoissance and
estimates, to be submitted to the public
before books are opened for stock in the
•aid company.
4. Resolved, That the said committee
be required to correspond with the Cin
cinnati and Charleston committees, and
•uch as may be appointed in anv other
place, and co-operate with them in the
measures aforesaid, or any other measure
which may be adopted to promote the
said undertaking.
5. Resolved, In the opinion of this
meeting, no route for a Rail Road be
tween Charleston and Cincinnati, pre
aents so many facilities of construction
and avoids in so great a degree the diffi
culties of passing the mountains, as the
line by Columbia, following up the ral
lies of Broad and Green rivers to the
Blue Ridge, and descending the valley
of the French Broad, through the Alle
ghany mountains, to the Tennessee line;
and that the said route, among others
which have been or may be suggested,
ought to receive the particular attention
Los the commissioners who may be appoin
ted to cause the said reconnoissance to be
made.
Col. Preston addressed the meeting in
a strain of eloquence, worthy of the grand
1 enterprize which was the theme of its
discourse. He said he would not go in
to the details of the subject, but confine
himself to those general views which
must at once be striking to every intelli
gent mind. He regretted to see the a
pathy which South Carolina had manifes
ted in slumbering, till aroused by the
people of Cincinnati; and that, too, on
a subject so deeply involving her inter
ests. A year or two ago, he was anxious
to see the Rail Road from Columbia to
Branchville, completed. It was with
regret that lie had seen it opposed. Au •
gusta, situated similar to Columbia, had
been made to flourish by means of the
Rail Road. Yet gentlemen seemed to
think that the deep sands between this
1 and Charleston, and even if mountains
intervened, it would be the better for our
I Town. Augusta, Hamburg, and Aiken,
were all springing up, while we were dy-
I ing. Prosperity diffused every where,
I would benefit all. No man had ever
■ grown poor by the facilities of trade. We
■ were permitting the very ends of our town
■ to rot down, because we were without a
' Rail Road to Charleston. He mention
-1 ed some facts, showing how our town
- property had depreciated, and observed
that we were reducing ourselves to po
e verty, by pursuing a narrow-minded po
s licy. Interest ought to actuate us, if
1 nothing else would.
e But the project of a Rail Road bring
o ing Cincinnati to Charleston, was most
* magnificent. It was bringing together
■ States, or rather nations, possessing dif
’■ ferent soils and climates. It was calling
" into exertion, and combining mind and
• intelligence, giving life and activity to
d the people. Men might be lead away by
t cnthusiain, but he felt a pleasure in anti
i* cipating the day, when tne wealth ot the
0 West, not surpassed by ancient Egypt,
7 . would be flowing through our streets,
h We had struggled hard to sustain the
h honor and glory of our beloved State, but
ir tins project would crown the whole,
i- Look at the North, and we see Rail
e Roads and Canals every where, hear the
rattle of cars, and behold the sails of ves
d sels. See with what an enterprising spi
: rit Georgia is engaged in constructing
t Rail Roads and Steam Boats. The
States of New-Kngland had bound them
- selves together by Rail Roads anil Steam
1 Boats. New-York, Pennsylvania and
- Ohio, by their intercourse, are becoming
r homogeneous. These States, counting
s their population not by thousands, but by
- millions, would he able to wield the des
-1 tinies of our Republic. Did it become us
then to stand aloof, and not connect our
- selves with the great West ? The safety
I, of our Republic required it. He pro
n reeded to show how our physical, moral,
- and intellectual strength, would be in
■ creased by the contemplated Rail Rond,
i Speaking of the Route, lie said that
- nature seemed to have pointed it out;
I that. Board and Green Rivers furnished
“ us with a graduated plain which would
, carry lis to the lowest point of the Blue
’ Ridge.; that on the west side of this
r route (he Saluda mountains were im
t passable. He made some remarks upon
1 the soil and productions of the country
( through which the Rail Road would pass ;
t the great extent of (he country which it
, would benefit, extending its advantages
; to North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky,
I and Tennessee. By the accomplishment
■ of this project a direct intercourse will be
: opened up from Charleston to Lake
f Erie.
He observed (hat by the extension of
' the branch leading to Athens, the greater
s part of Georgia and Alabama would
■ bring (heir produce to Charleston ; (hat
the difficulties and dangers to be encoun
tered in the Gulf Stream gave Charles
son a decided advantage over New Or
leans. No city has the same advanta
ges.
In the above nothing more is attempt
ed than to give some of the leading views
lircsented by Col. Preston in our own
angnage. His speech was eloquent, and
displayed the profound statesman no less
than an ardent patriot and accomplished
■ orator.
i Dr. Cooper arose and observed, that
, he did not wish to detain the meeting,
■ that if the arguments of Col. Preston
i were not sufficient to convinco everyone
1 who heard him, an angel from heaven
- would not do it. He said that delay was
i usually ruinous ; that never had a more
, important object been brought before the
;i people.
f Mr. Harrison aroseand made someob
i servations. He remarked that we could
; do nothing more beneficial to posterity,
f even though we should invest a fourth, a
- third or even a half of our property in this
f enterprise.
The resolutions were put and unani
f mously adopted, and the chairman ap
pointed the following gentlemen a com
; mittee under the second resolution : A.
, Blanding. Dr. Thos. Cooper, Win. C.
i Preston, David Ewart, Andrew Wallace,
r Henry J. Noit, Wade Hampton, Rich
- aixl Sondley, Benj. F. Taylor, Pierce M.
f Butler.
Wo have conversed with no one who
- is blind to the importance of this great
enterprise. Its grandeur and utility
r seems at once to strike the mind of all
s classes ; and we believe (hat there is en
-5 terprise and patriotism enough to carry
i the project into execution, if meetings
f will only be called throughout the state
1 and the subject discussed till it isgener
: ally understood, and its importance felt
; in every point of view.

From the .Macon .Messenger, IS th (not.
I TEXAS.
A meeting of citizens was held in (his
■ place, on Tuesday evening, (which, we
■ think, was the largest we have ever wit
■ ncssed here,) for the purpose of expres
sing their sentiments relative to the strug
i gle for liberty in Texas, and devising
means to aid that cause. The proceed
• ings will show that the spirit of ’76 is
i still alive among us; that we have those,
- not only ready to repel tyranny from our
» own soil, but (ike true philanthropists in
- the cause of liberty, will go beyond our
• borders, to tender the aid of their persons
r and arms to a people weak in numbers
- and means, who are threatened with op
; pression. We are gratified to see this
s spirit prevailing to such an extent Those
, who embark in it, have the sympathies
i and best wishes of our whole communi
ty; and we cannot but anticipate for
» their efforts, a glorious and successful
termination. About thirty enrolled their
names at the meeting, as volunteers, and
a considerable number more, who were
not then present, are pledged to the
cause. A liberal subscription was also
made to aid in the necessity expenses of
the expedition. The company will be
commanded by Col. Wx. Ward, —the
other officers will not be elected until
they arrive in Texas. The time desig
nated for the company to be in readiness,
and convene for departure, is Wednes
day next, thclStli iost.
A subscription was offered to the meet
ing, for funds to aid in defraying the ex
penses of those who had or should volun
teer, when §3,141 were immediately sub
scribed.
Accident. —We regret to state that his Honor
the Intendant, Dr. E. W. North, wa* thrown
from hi« chair last evening, in consequence of the
horse taking fright, hy which ho had three of his
riba broken, and received several contusions and
hurts.—We arc happy to say, however, that none
of them arc considered dangerous.— Charlatan
Patriot, VUhinot .
Melancholy Accident. —We regret to learn
that Col. Huron, of Wake county, N. C. was
thrown from his buggy on Sunday evening Blh
Inst, on the Kock Bridge Hoad, near Decator, Dc-
Kalh County, and so severely injured as to sur
vive only a few hours afterwards. He and his
son A. C. Hixtoh, had been on a visit to the
Counties of St. Clair and Greene, in Alabama, in
which two of his sons now reside. He appeared
to tie about 65 years of age, and wc understand has
. no wife, and probably no small children to hear
this sad intelligence. In passing Captain White's
his horse took fright and ran down a steep hill with
such velocity as to throw him from the buggy,
fracturing his wrists and knee pan, and is sup
posed to have injured some of the Toracic Ves
cine, which caused so speedy a dissolution. He
was decently interred in thejpublic cemetry in the
Town of Decatur, on the 10th inst.— Covington

PD IILICIM EETING.
Aiiousta, Nov. 14, 1835.
The citizens of Augusta having convened on
this day, at the City Hall, in conformity with a
request from the City Council, Samuil Hale,
Esq , Mayor, was called to the Chair, and Wil
liam C. Micou, appointed Secretary.
The Chairman having staled the object of the
meeting, the following Preamble and Ilesolutions
were tillered by Col. William Cummixo, and
unanimously adopted,
The citizens of Cincinnati having manifested
a disposition to connect their flourishing city with
sonic point on tho coast of the Atlantic, nearly in
our latitude, we hail with the most cordial wel
come a design so noble in itself—so worthy of
the enterprizing people hy whom it was conceiv
ed. Such a work, whether it conduces to our
immediate advantage or not, cannot fail to ad
vance the general prosjiority of our country and
to confirm tho stability of our political Union,
hy adding new tics of social and commercial in
tercourse. We have neither the power nor the
wish to divert so great an undertaking from its
proper course. Lot it take that direction which
may heat promote the interests of the greater
number. A topographical examination, however,
wo are led to believe, will demonstrate that the
most eligible route must pass through our own
city.—A rail road from this place to Athens is
now in progress of execution, and will doubtless,
ere long, be completed. A road from Cincinnati
to Athens would be much shorter and fur less
costly than one to any point on tho coast. The
1 commodities of tho West would meet a demand
almost at their very entrance into our State j
when arrived at Augusta, they will not only have
the benefit of our own extensive market, but en
joy the double advantage of the Charleston Rail
Read, and of the still cheaper transportation by
water to Savannah and to Charleston itself. Deep
ly impressed hy these considerations, it becomes
our duly, so far as our ability extends, to assume
an active part in this magnificent enterprize.
Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of be ap
pointed to correspond with the committee of Cin
cinnati, and all the committees which have been
or may ho appointed elsewhere, with reference to
the abovementioued design, for tho purpose of
determining tho best mode of attaining our com
mon object.
Resolved, That tho said committee correspond
also with the Board of Directors of the Georgia
Rail Road Company, on the expediency of mak
ing surveys, to ascertain the most eligible com
munication between that road and the main route
to Cincinnati.
Resolved, That tho said committee from time
to time, report the result of their correspondence,
as circumstances may require, either to a public
meeting called for that purpose, or to the City
Council of Augusta; and in the latter case, said
Council is hereby requested to act thereon in the
mode which it may deem most beneficial to the
community, defraying all necessary expenses out
of the public treasury.
Resolved, That if there should hereafter be a
convention to deliberate on tho subject of the
proposed rail road, a town meeting shall bo called,
for the purpose of choosing delegates to the same.
Resolved, That we earnestly recommend to
the attention of the Legislature, a work which
may lia rendered so creditable and advantageous
to the Slate.
It was then Resolved, that the committee con
sist of five, to ho appointed by tho Chairman,
who accordingly appointed Col. William Cum
miso, Richard Tubmax, Esq. Robert Camp
bkll, Esq. Charles J. Jexkixs, Esq. James
W. Daris, Esq.
On motion of Edward F, Campbell, Esq
the name of the Chairman was added, by the
meeting, to tho committee.
On motion of Col. Wx. Cummixo, it was
Resolved, That the Secretary of this meeting
be requested to act as the Secretary to the Com
mittee.
It was then, on motion of A. J. Miller, Esq.
Resolved, That tho proceedings of the meet
ing bo published in the papers of the city.
After which, the meeting adjourned.

excessively dull throughout the week, and it has
been absolutely necessary for holders to make

TO l iaL IM IJlilL
fN consequence. of the recent death of Mr.
Frederick A. Cowles, of the film of P,
A. &. F. A. COWLES, it becomes necessary,
that the business of the above firm should ba
immediately closed. The subscriber, Mr. Philip
A. Cowles, (surviving partner of the late firm,)
would therefore respectfully solicit the attention
of that portion of the business community, who
arc desirous of entering into the Mercantile busi
ness, in any part of this State, to the Establish
ment where he now resides, and where the busi
-0 ness of the late firm has been transacted since its
first establishment, and of which he holds in his
' possession a lease. The following arc the prin
® cipal Buildings and Land Lots comprised in the
lease, viz:—One large and commodious House,
which for the last six years has been occupied as
I a Hotel; it is a well known stand, and has al-
II ways been liberally patronized. A large Store
stands adjoining, sufficiently spacious to contain
t j a $12,000 stock of goods—a smaller building
with a good fire place and chimney, formerly oc
cupied as a sleeping room—one large House in
I rear of the dwelling House, with two apartments,
( ’ one in which the cooking for the family is done,
and the other tan be used as a Store House
| Those buildings stand on a square containing two
’ acres. Contained in the same lease, is a largo
Barn, situated a short distance from the House,
p on a j square of land, and is sufficiently largo
to accommodate 20 Horses. The above lease,
will remain in full force until the Ist. day of
August next, at which time the property will be
sold. In the lease, the subscriber reserved to
himself the privilege of purchasing the premises
at the highest price offered by others. In con
i sidoration of which, the subscriber is to pay the
, sum of one hundred and fifty dollars per year,
r This stand possesses many truly desirable advan
i tages over most Southern up-Country Stands,
o in its facilities for obtaining Goods, and in mak
r ing immediate shipments of Cotton to Savannah
', and Charleston, a quality so essentially necessary
i, to the success of dealers in Cotton, an article,
- the price of which is continually changing, that
r no business man can fail, justly to appreciate it.
The subscriber having business at the North,
early in April next, which must be attended to,
offers the above business stands, with a transfer
of the lease of the premises with all the privileges
therein contained, upon the same terras specified
in the conveyance to him, together with a part,
or all of a Nine Thousand Dollar stock of Goods,
’ which were purchased with great care, of the
’ Manufacturers and at the New York Auction
Rooms, with particular reference to the -Southern
’ market.
' To any person or persons, wishing to obtain
1 a good stand for the Southern business, in alt
its branches, he would only say, call and look.
