The Augusta and Edgefield Railroad.
! At tlie last session of the Legislature of South
! Carolina, a charter was granted, authorizing the
; I construction of a railroad from Augusta to some
I point on the Greenville and Columbia Railroad.
New Market has been the point suggested, and as
that locality has been mentioned,and possesses man v
j advantages, it is entitled to our consideration; anil
viewing it as the point of junction, I beg leave to
j offer a few facts, which at this time strike me with
j peculiar force.
New Market is situated on the Greenville and
j Columbia Railroad, in the South-eastern portion
•* Abbeville District, about fifty-four miles from
! Augusta, and forty-four from Anderson C. H., inak- :
ing the distance from Augusta to Anderson via
New Market, ninety-eight miles.
The face of the country over which it is proposed j
to build this road, is such as to admit of its con- j
struction, as cheaply as if built over any other por- I
tion of tlie up country, for a like distance. Pur
veys have lately been made from New Market to
L<%efield C. H., and the result proves highly fa
vorable for the route, and from the latter place t*
Augusta, those who are competent judges, and fa- *
miliar with the country', declare the communica- !
tion easy. Under the circumstances, the cost of j
equipage of the entire road, might be reasonably !
estimated from six hundred and fifty thousand to i
seven hundred and fifty thousand (#750,000) dol- j
lars.
It will be perceived from the above, that the dis
lance from Augusta to Anderson C. H. via New i
Market,will be increased only some jive or seven mile, ■
m camparison with the route contemplated bv the
Savannah Valley Road. It will, also, be equally i
plain, that the connection with Anderson here pro- j
posed, can be effected by an outlay of money less j
oy twelve hundred thousand dolors than will be re* )
quired by the other route.
Nor does the connection at New Market less es- !
fectually secure the travel and produce intended I
for Augusta coming over the Rabun Gap Road, :
should it ever be completed) than a road running !
directly to its terminus at Anderson. The compar- :
ative light cost of the Augusta and Edgefield Road, !
as well as that of the Greenville and Go- J
luinbia Railroad, and the slight difference in dis" |
tance, would enable them to transport over it as
cheaply as could be done by any road that could
be made.
Nor need the city of Augusta feel the slighest
apprehension that the freight, being once on the
Greenville Road, should continue beyond the junc- j
tion; for the difference in the distance by this di- j
vergenee iu favor of Augnsta over the continued j
mad to Charleston via Columbia, would be thirty
' 30) miles, and the difference in her favor over 1
Columbia in point of ‘ freights’ to the same citv, j
would be near fifty per cent. So that was the con-i
sideration that Augusta offers two seaport markets j
and three means of transportation (the river and :
two railroads) entirely out of view, she could be !
quite secure, were the Greenville road to transport f
from the junction to Columbia free of charge, the ,
freight would not be on an equal footing.
By reference to Walker’s .Map, of South Caro- ;
tina, (or any large Map of the State,) the examina- ;
tion of which is particularly invited, it will he seen
the Eastern terminus of this Edgefield road will be
near, and within influencing distance, of that por- ;
tion of the State which is regarded, in an agricul- I
turn! point of view, as the “Garden Spot,” of!
South Carolina. If we take the portions of Edge
field, Abbeville, Newberry and Greenville, and tlie
District of Laurens, and such portion of Spartan
burg as lies contiguous to it, we have an extent of
country in fertility and wealth, unsurpassed if 1
equalled, in that State. It is a country productive !
and densely populated. Its inhabitants |.ire of that
class who, though not possessing immense wealth, or
owning boundless tracts of lands, and hundreds of I
slaves, (for such are not the men most serviceable :
o internal improvement, or to the country,! vet
who owning lands and negroes, may be regarded
as individuals, as in “good circumstances,” and as
a community wealthy: and being good planters and
farmers, they each afford support to Railroad en
terprise by their travel aud by the transportation
of their many and various products. The produc- ;
tion of Cotton and Wheat within the scope of conn- j
try spoken of, may he in moderate bounds set
down at sixty thousand bales of Cotton, and of
Wheat four hundred thousand bu-hels, (aud I may
hera remark, that, within this country the best anil
heaviest Wheat in the South is raised). Os all this
quantity not a bag or a bushel ordinarily finds its
way to Augusta, but every bag or bushel (for sale) j
would seek her market wore railroad facilities af
forded. Ask the merchants from what portions of '
the country came their trade West of Savannah,
before the construction of the Greenville Railroad?
and they will point you to Edgefield, to Abbeville, !
to Newberry, to Anderson, to Greenville, to Lauren*
and Spartanburg, and from over the Mountains, too,
from old North Carolina. Then the tall land ship*
of Buncomb and Tennessee, with their fine teams, j
were to be seen daily in the streets. Where is that
trade now ? Jt belonged then legitimately to Au
gusta, although it was hers, it is gone! And the
question which naturally suggests itself to my mind
is, can it be recovered V I answer, ves. The con
struction of this very road opens up effectually the j
means of its return. It is their interest to return,
aud where that points, trade is sure to follow after. I
A lively interest is felt in this enterprise along I
ibo line, and although often disappointed and de
feated by the failure of their enterprises, they yet
feel hope in this; and when it is known that Augns
ta will come up to the help of the good cause, much
enthusiasm will prevail, and substantial aid aud
comfort will be given, for all will feel that as it is a :
short road, it can be immediately built, and its
benefits and blessings felt and enjoyed the moment j
it is completed. Observer.

Mr. Editor: The new year was heralded with
bright and sunny smiles, wreathing with rainbow
tints the pendant icicle, falling softly upon the j i
bosom of frozen waters, gludening the homes of; :
the shivering poor, casting a bright halo over all (
nature. No longer the tiny bird sat in his frozen j
cover, bewailing the dying hours of the old year, 1 <
but fluttered wildly fourth to greet, with a sweet | 1
lulaby, the tirst joyous sunbeam of the new. !
The Legislature assembled on the 31st Decern- j
her. The vote for Speaker resulted as follows :
Nathan Gaither, Dem. 37 ; J. B. Houston, Know
Nothing 58. Houston was then declared Speaker
by twenty-one majority. The Know Nothing ma- ,
jority on joint ballot is forty-four. Though the |
Democrats are in the minority, they promise to be '
the master spirits of the Legislature. At least, !
thev have been the first to evince a spirit of resit*- 1 ’
tance to Northern arrogance and presumption. A 1
series of resolutions have been introduced in the 1
Senate and House, by Messrs. Barlow and James, i
both Democrats, laudatory of tlie Kansas-Xebraska
bill, and tendering the thanks of the Assembly to j
those members of Congress from the North who ,
assisted in its passage, and to the President of the
United States who approved it. Algo, offering |
their thanks to the President of the United States '
for his “firmness and efficiency” in the execution of
the Fugitive Slave law. These resolutions created |
quite a sensation among the American member*.
Thev were readv to agree on the slavery question, ;
but prompted by a low, fiendish spirit, character-;
: istic of their principles, they were not willing ta
award t» the President the praise due him. The
I resolutions were referred to the committee on Fed
j eral relations, where they will be arranged to suit j
i the intense bogus American feeling,
j The Governor’s message lias been sent- in, and to j
I the discomfiture of the Know Nothing organs, ho '
! completely ignores the great and glorious “ dark |
i lantern" question. In fact, with the proceedings
i of the infamous Hiss Legislature, its damnable j
i personal liberty bill, and other acts suggestive of 1
j Know Nothing duplicity, with Congress divided j
i into factions, and last, though not least, with the j
s proceedings of the Know Nothing Convention held j
; m Louisville, where Sheets, the notorious Aboli- j
1 tionist, was hailed twenty-four hours later from the
! “bolters” convention. Many true patriots of the
Stat» party are disgusied, and are only waiting to j
adopt resolutions that may be offered by the Demo- j
' 1 cratiic Conventiou that assembles on tha Stb. Col. ;
Grukllk, one of most eminent men of the .State —

intention of no longer acting with the party. I
might enumerate others, burl am now too lengthy. !

i Among the arrivals, I notiee tlie Hon. Lynn
Boyd, and ex-Governor Powell. Both are aspi
rants fi r the Presidency. It will be. hard up be
' tween them, which will get the support of the

Washington Correspondence.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 8, 1856.
Mr. Editor: After fire weeks of ineffectual vo
' ting for Speaker of the House, there is very little
prospect, at present, of a speedy termination of
this monotonous routine; unless a continued ses
j sion, now contemplated, shall bring .-.bout au elec
tion. The Kansas-Nebraska Democratic phalanx,
have stood firmly and unflinchingly to the noble
platform of principles laid down bv them before
the contest commenced. Their line of policy is
still unchanged; though numberless efforts have
■ been made by a portion of the opposition to in
| duce them to drop Rich arson, and unite on some
j other person, to be chosen ly themselves. This scheme,
however, has been regarded as nothing but a ruse
; on their part, to break the ranks of the compact
j minority, and thus render confusion more con
founded. \\ Hat a sad spectacle does the present
! House ot Representatives present to the country!
I Pending the canvass at the North, fall before last, I
when the members to the present Congress were i
elected, the stirring cry was opposition to the Kan- ]
■ sas bill, and the extension of slavery ; while at the 1
South, more recently, it was opposition to Demo- j
! cracy, and the still more insidious watch-word of
; “Americans shall rule America.” By these mean*
| an overwhelming majority lias been returned to 1
j the House—an opposition composed of tlie most -
i heterogeneous and discordant material, perhaps, !
■ that ever assembled. There is but one sentiment !
, in common with them all, and that is ho* ilitv to !
; the administration and the Democratic party. A
i majority of them, it is said, belong to the Know i
; Nothing Order—that secret and oath-hound fra- I
' ternity that was to remedy all the evils of the dav, i
| by the grand political panancea that “Americans ;
; should rule America.” But what hope can the 1
! country have from the rule of such men, when, up- j
| on first trial, they show such utter incapacity to i
; rule or govern themselves ? If the salvation and j
I preservation of this country is to depend upon the j
j governing of such a party, may God have mercy ‘
| on us.
i An important reflection, which the present stateof |
; things suggests, and which the peoplo would do well
j to ponder thoroughly before it is too late, is, that
j in case the election of President, next fall, shall
not be made by themselves, the choice will devolve
upon this House; and if they make such slow pro
gress in electing a Speaker, it is probable they would
never succeed in agreeing upon a President, before
the expiration of the time which he should enter
upon the discharge of his official duties? In that
unfortunate and calamitous event, what else but !
anarchy would ensue at the hands of these modern j
reformers of the politics and religion of the eoun- i
try? Will not the people, in time, see to it, that ]
such a result shall not fall to our lot? The course I
of the President in sending in his message, has i
met with very general favor. The substance and !
sentiments of the message are also highly approved. j
None but Black Republicans abuse or even assail it. ,
At a meeting of the friends of Col. Richardson, !
held last night in the Representative Chamber, it 1
was unanimously resolved to continue to adhere to !
him, and the platform of principles adopted at the I
time of his first nomination; and further, to oppose j
every motion to adjourn, or to take a recess of the
House, after again assembled, until a Speaker is
elected. This shows a spirit of firmness, and a do- I
termination on the part of the indomitable minors- !
tv, which must commend itself to a cordial re- j
sponse from the country. If the House is not or- \
ganized, the responsibility will not be with them : j
and for whatever mishap’or mischief shall befall
tha country, from the “fragments of factions,” I
which at present control the House, the people will |
hereafter, doubtless, hold those accountable to i
whom it is justly chargable.
