Col. F. E. Harrison made report of survey,
as furnished him by corps of Engineers,. who
recently surveyed fhe route from Walballa, S.
C. to Petersburg, Ga., as follows: , p p
Owing to tho short time that tho Engineers
have bad since the completion of the survey,
they have not had time to make out their esti
mates, profiles, &c., but which they will have
completed in a few days. I have, however,
received estimate? from them hurriedly made
from which I havo compiled tho figures that
are given below. I, accompanied tho Engl
nebrs over a good portion of the survey, and
j will briefly relate my experience of the same.
Wo found the route a very favorable one,
being adapted by nature to all the require
Siony to bear ca tho case that ho could find, moots of n Railroad. We commenced our
l that equal and exact justice would be metod
; to the guilty.
. number of the best citizens of the county
ssed the ! r horror at the killing, and also
tured tho United Stales authorities that the
I liter should be properly investigated. Upon
|s assurance from them, the commissioner
1 Marshal returned, feeling well satisfied
at the State courts would do wbat was right
i tho matter.
The foregoing is copied from the Atlanta
Id, of Friday last, and we need scarcely
wo wero much surprised to see such a
utement in that paper.
So far from tho affair referred to beiug a
urder, our readers will remember that, from
ie synopsis of the testimony beforo the Cor-
er’e jury, which we published at the time, it
peared that Mr. Holliday was killed while
istiug au officer of the law and a legal posse
bile iu the discharge of a lawful duty—the
of the deceased.
Tho facts are these: Mr. R. Lay had
orn out a warrant against Holliday for an
ttempt to take bis Iifo on a certain occasion.
j)n this warrant be was arrested by Mr. J. S.
Junto . i e efficient Sheriff of the County. He
tve bail and was discharged. A few days af-
r wards, Mr, Lay took out a new warrant ac-
Ipnsipg llolliday of an attempt to take bis life
another occasion. This was placed in the
lands of a Bailiff to be executed. He took two
>r tbreo friends to Holliday's bouse; on their
irrival H. seized an axo and swore be would
not permit them to arrest him. Being unann-
(cu, they left tbe premises. ThiB occurred on
fSunday. Tbe next morning the' ‘Bailiff sum-
• moiied a posse (a dozen or more men) and pro-
egedoti to the bouse of Holliday. Tho latter
ns in bis field. When bo saw them approach-
ig he seized a gun and fired, the shot taking
effect in the shirt of one of tbe men. At the
I second shot, the posse returned the fire, and
Holliday was killed. It appears that he bad
■ two guns with him in tbe field.
Now, the foregoing is a brief statement of
tho facts, as detailed to us repeatedly by high
ly respectable citizens, and as developed at
tho Coroner's Inquest and published by us at
the time.
The citizens of Jackson are a law-abiding
people, and we hope tho Atlanta Herald will
do them tbe justice to make the necessary cor
rection. A justifiable homicide, committed in
the discharge of a lawful act—and more espe
cially where it was eloarly a case of self-de
fence, is a very different thing from “ murder,"
ns the intelligent editors of the Herald very
well know, and they will certainly not hesi
tate to make tbe correction.
Tho following correspondence between tho
survey at Walballa, S. C., which is situated on
the Blue Ridge Railroad, and which, sixteen
years ago, was a barren wilderness, but is now
a town of some 2,000 inhabitants; .the settlers
are of German extraction, who have shown by
tbeir improvements, the grant energy and per
severance of that race. They wero very bard
to be induced to unite with us, having been
fraudnlentiy dealt with by tbe Air-Line Rail
road Company, but after proving to them the
advantages to be derived from this proposed
route, they wore induced to unite with us;
which they did cordially and substantially,
by proposing to give us a county subscription
of $150,000, and a town subscription in addi
tion of 850,000; provided, we make Walballa
a terminus of tbo proposed Railroad.
From Walhalla we came down tbo country,
striking a beautiful ridge, all tue way to
Andersonville, S. C., showing a route that
could be built with comparatively little work,
from which place we proceeded to Petersburg,
Ga., under tbe most favorable auspices, all
tbe way, for tbo construction of a Railroad.
We found the best feeling manifested by all
persons on both sides of tho river, which was
amply proved by tbo liberality and cordiality
shown us by every one, also, by men assuring
us all along the jute that they would sub
scribe liberally and to the extent of their abil
ities towards the same.
From estimates received from Engineers, the
distance from Walhalla to Andereouville is 28
miles; from Andersonville to Petersburg, 42
miles; from Petersburg to Augusta, by former
survey, 47 miles; from Walhalla to Aiigasta,
117 miles.
This is a shorter line to Augusta and Charles
ton than any other in the country, built or
proposed. Tbo distance from Walballa, at
present;to Charleston is 295 miles; by tbe
proposed'route, 230 miles—showing a saving
of 65 miles, and which is much less yet, by
way of Port Royal
From estimates of Engineers, it is also shown
that $16,000 per mile will bnild this Railroad,
making the total cost of 117 miles $1,800,000,
which is comparatively cheap to other Rail
roads.
The following preamble and resolutions were
proposed:

The Nature and Ainu of the Order of Patrons of
Husbandry.
Interesting Letter from Dr. J. P. Stevens, Deputy
1st, 2d ami 3d Congressional Districts.
In response to your kind invitation to pub
lish a few thoughts in your valuable paper, ex
planatory of tbe nature and aims of the Order
of Patrons of Husbandry, I deem it necessary
to occupy but a small space in your columns.
The Order has bat recently been prominent
ly brought before .the planters of our State, as
our Stale Grange was organized in April last,
with a membership of sixteen subordinate
Granges.
From its inception, however, its march has
been steadily onward, enfolding witbin its em
brace almost every planter who has been made
properly ta comprehend its magnificent plans
and designs.
And bow coaid it be otherwise f
In almost every other line of business, con
ducted upon an expensive 6cale. associated
action for tho mutual interest of cliques, rings
and monied interests, has ever been patent to
the most superficial observer; and the ap
parent design of these associations has been to
wrest from tbe tillers of the soil the legitimate
fruits of their daily toil.
The depressed condition of the farming inter
ests of the South and West, shows that they
are prostrated under the weight of some fear
ful incubus that keeps them fettered to tho
ground.
The provisions of the Western producer, in
unmeasured abundance, afford a rovenuo
sentiment and unity of interest inspiro unity
of action with nratnal confidence. Tho ele
vated code of morals recognized in onr gov
ernment tends to soften tho asperities of our
natural instincts, to cnltivate in ns sentiments
of benevolence and charity towards all men,
and to impress ns with a sense of onr matnal
dependence and obligations to extend to one
auolher onr sympathy and assistance, in tiroes
of sickness and adversity, and our congratula
tions in seasons of prosperity and joy. We are
also taught that as cultivators of tbe earth,
while we reap tbe golden harvest that springs
from her ever willing and bounteous bosom,
we should ever cultivate these scions of fra-
tem ty, amity and faith, that spring from tbe
tree of Truth, and that will bear for U6 fruits
of jcy and peace in tbe Paradise above'.
Tbe intellectual aspects of our Order pro
sent to car notice considerations of no nn-
wortby importance. You.will observe that
every subject wbicb can Improve tbe condition
of tbe Patrons is brought up for discussion.—
It is the duty of the Lecturer to gather food
for mental study and reflection npon all sub
jects connected with the art and science of
agriculture : to collect information relating to
tho beneficent operations and progress of tbe
Order; and to invite a desire, lor inquiry and
mental improvement among the membership.
The spirit of amity and friendship inculcated
and practiced, induces them to present tbeir
views freely and unreservedly, without incur
ring tbe risk of harsh criticism. Reciprocal
confidence inspires the unrestrained attrition
of ideas and elicits truth
Here there is a continued incitement to mon-
tal cnltivation and progress, and tbo Grange
is converted into a school of agriculture and
education.
It has been urged as an objection to our Or
dor, that theaccumulation of immense capital
laud iuflience will be likely to attract;political
; harpies and financial tricksters, who would en-
| deavor to prevent the legitimate aims of the
Association, and uso it as an agent for tbeir
individual aggrandizement, and^for unworthy
objects. But aside from the safeguard vouch
safed iu the terms of admittance to member
ship, imposed by the Constitution, requiring
the actual cultivation of the soil as laborer or
controller of tenants; tbe conservatism which
has always characterized tho planter as a
class, will prove powerfully antagonistic
against the sebemos of the subtle Intriguers.
The simple habits of tbo farmer, and bis con-
stant and daily practice of habits of integrity,
stimulated by the necessities of bis vocation,
will impell on his part a scrutiny of the actions
of the wily money changer, and induce cau
tion and circumspection in reposing confidence
in those who are of doubtful veracity and in
tegrity. Moreover, wa have the advantage of
—
success
er of truth, and encouraged bv tho
which has heretofore trampled upon all obsta
cles that interpose your progress, your march
will bo onward and upward, conqnoring anrl
to conquer, and generations yet unborn will
riso up and call you blessed.

formation of Grangos, the undorsiguod can be

The object of this association is to elevate
the planter socially, intellectually and finan-
ciaily. - • .
Tbe planter, by education and babit, Is dis
social—his daily roatino of business demands
bis personal supervision^of bis laborers, and
tbo diurnal management of bis farm.
When the day closes, he seeks, in sleep, re-
poso from bis labors.
From long babit and tbe tutelage of his
fathers, he is firmly impressed with the con
viction that his method of conducting his busi
ness is superior to that of bis neighbors.
He feels not tbo necessity for assistance, and
conseqnently does not seek it. This routine
of business continues from week to week, and
from year to year; and the tendency of his
occupation is to contract his habits of thought,
aud to a mistaken feeling of independence,
which tends to isolation and disregard of tboso
agenciw arising front attrition of ideas that
leads to progress nnd reform.
Now, at tho rooottily reunionsof tha mem
bers of a Grange, they are brougbtinto friend
