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: Whereas, The citizens of Ooonee, Ander son and Abbevillo counties, South Carolina, and of Hart and Elbert counties, Georgia, hav ing organized and bad a survey made for a Railroad from Walballa, S.

' v 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. For all information-desired concerning tho formation of Grangos, the undorsiguod can be addressed at Leesburg,. Leo county. • J.P. Stevens, Deputy let,2d and 3d Cong. Dists.

The magic wand, that converts everything that it touches into gold, is co-operative com bination for tbe accomplishment of the end to be attained. In every other department of business but that of tbe agriculturist, this al most omnipotent agency is properly appreci ated and skillfully applied.

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.
