TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 17,1870
THE SHORTEST AND MOST PRACTI
CABLE ROUTE TO CONNECT PORT
ROYAL WITH KNOXVILLE VIA Tift
BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.
fa view of the active enterprise shown
by other cities of our State, and in conse
quence of the effort of varlons' rival rail
way compapies— in operation or in em
bryo—to secur4 the rich hardest of trade
and freights that must come from the West
on the shortest and best lines communi
cating with tide-water —our citizens neces
sarily feel a deep interest in the building
of a route to connect with the Blue Ridge
Road. The necessity and advantage of
such a connection have been brought more
prominently before our people by the now
assured consummation of two railway en
terprises that were, but a few years since,
deemed idle fancies, viz: the Air Line and
Port Royal Roads. The completion of the
former, if only to the State line, will draw
to Atlanta a large trade now enjoyed by
Augusta, unless checkmated by a road
crossing it at right angles. The Port
Royal Road shortens the distance to tide
water fully miles, affording
also the great advantage of the best harbor
on the Atlantic coast. This Important
point of lessening the distance between
Augusta and tide-water, added to the gain
of a road directly connecting with the Blue
Ridge route, would give the shortest possible
line obtainable from the West to the sea
board.
To accomplish this connection with the
Blue Ridge Road, two routes, nrged by dif
ferent parties, have lately engaged public
attention. The first and most practicable,
but not most direct, is the extension of the
Athens branch of the Georgia Road to
Clayton, a distance of eighty miles. The
second is a direct road from Augusta to
Clayton, a distance of about 160 miles, to
be called the Augusta and Hartwell Rail
way.
These routes, however, are considered
somewhat in antagonism. The building of
a road from Augusta to Clayton would, it
is supposed by many, work damage to the
Georgia Road; while the extension of the
Athens branch to Clayton would make the
direct road from Augusta to Clayton an
impossibility or a financial failure.
The resolution passed by the stockhold
ers of the Georgia Road at their late con
vention : “ That their road be extended
“ from Athens to Clayton, the work to be
“commenced at the discretion of their Di
“ rectors," has most probably put a quietus,
for the present at least, on the Augusta
and Hartwell enterpise. If such be the
fact, and those interested in the Port Royal
road still desire a more direct connection
with the Blue Ridge than through the
Georgia Road, in fact a virtual extension
of the great line they now are pushing
forward, the purpose can be accomplished
by a much shorer and more practicable
route than the proposed Augusta and
Hartwell scheme. Beside, the plan we are
about to suggest, in addition to the other
advantages enumerated above, can he con
summated at probably half the cost and in
one-half the time it would require to build
from this point to Claytou. At the same
time, an equal benefit would accrue to Au
gusta. We refer to the Savannah River
Valley Route, for which a charter Was grant
ed by the State of South Carolina several
years previous to the war, and which, at
the time proposed, received the hearty en
dorsement of a large majority of our citi
zens. A public meeting passed resolutions
authorizing Council to subscribe $500,000
to the stock on certain conditions. But
the “ rivalry” between Hamburg and Au
gusta for the location of the depot, com
bined with other causes, defeated the enter
prise.
We append the report of Engineer Arms
who surveyed the route and estimated the
cost of construction; also, the result of an
Interview between a committee appointed
by our City Council to confer with those
having the enterprise in charge.
It will be seen by the Eugiueer’s report
that the distance to Anderson, 8. C., is
about 92 miles, through a favorable loca
tion, and at only 9% per cent, loss over an
air line. £ glance at the map will demon
strate that the route via Anderson to
Knoxville is {more direct than the road
from Augusta to Clayton.
We trust these suggestions may cause
all concerned In the subject to give it
prompt attention, and, if needs be, full
ventilation.

SAVANNAH VALLEY RAILROAD.
We have been shown the report of Mr
Arms, Chief Engineer, to the President, Mr.
Hatchinsou, of the results of the experi
mental surveys of the above road, from
which we cull the lollowing interesting
facts:
Mile*
The length of the experimental line
from Anderson to Hamburg 93%
This can be brought down to 92
An iucreas of over an air line of only 8
miles or 9% per cent

This compares favorably with the
following length over a straight
line of the road from Charleston
to Columbia 25
Columbia to Greenville 47
Columbia to Anderson 28
Augusta to Atlanta 25
Savannah to Macon 27
A comparison of distances show not less
favorably.
Connecting with the Kabun Gap Road
at Anderson It will afford a route from
Knoxville, Tennessee, to Charleston, South
Carolina, 28 miles shorter than via Green
ville and Columbia Roads

No estimate is hazarded of the business
and profits to be expected from this de
servable connecting link jpf the Southern
Atlantic with the Western States of the
great valley ; but they must be Immense.
The road will make Anderson an important
depot for produce and distributing point,
similar to Atlanta iu Georgia. It must
also greatly increase the trade and property
of Hamburg and Augusta. It will enhance
the value of property upon the whole line
and furnish most important facilities to
the planters near whom it may pass.
The following resolutions were passed at
a meeting of the stockholders on the 20th
.Inst:
On motion of Mr. Meriwether.
Jtextoed, That the thanks of this com-
pany are due, and hereby respectfully ten
dered, to Maj. P. C. Arms, Chief Engineer,*
for the ability and despatch with wL ich he
has accomplished the survey of the line of
read, the results of which he communicat
ed in the clear and satisfactory report
made by him this day.
[From tho Constitutionalist, August 6U>, 1866.
SAVANNAH VALLEY KAXLROAI) CONVEN
TION OF BTOCKHOI.OEKB.
We Hearn, that a meeting of the* stock
holders of this road was held at “ Free
land’s,” in Edgefield district, 8. C., on the
'T’he President, Col." Tohn A Calhoun,
opened the meeting by a forcible and perti
nent address, stating the object of the con
vention, and. urgitm upon the stockholders
the importance of cfoitiff some&iinr/ in the
way qf providing additional means for the
construction of their road.
After the appointment of a committee**
verify proxies, etc., a committee from the
Council and citizens of Augusta, viz: His
Honor Wm. E. Dearing, Mayor, James M.
Dye, Wm. M. Hight, members of Council,
A J. Miller and 8. T. Coombs, on invita
tion, took their seats, and presented a pro
position to subscribe $500,000 to the stock
of the company, and to furnish a graded
road bed along the Augusta Canal tip Bull
Sluice, on condition that the line of road
should cross the Savannah river at or
above Bull Sluice, and that there should
be no connection with the South Carolina
Railroad at any point without the limits of
Augusta, etc.
The committee to which this proposition
was referred reported adversely to its ac
ceptance through their organ, C. W. Styles,
of Hamburg, who took occasion to say
that he considered the proposition “ illibe
ral, unjust,” &c., &c.
Mr. Miller, ou the part of the Augusta
delegates, after having be n invited to
make a subscription, aud having offered it
with such conditions as they considered
important to their interests, and which
they had a rigid to impose, had not expect
ed that their proposition would be con
sidered as u itliberal aud unjust." Did not
consider it so in reference to the whole road,
although the plan might prejudice certain
local interests, &c. &c.
After further debate between Messrs.
Miller and Styles, the report of the commit
tee was adopted.
We regret this result, and attribute it
entirely to the local opposition of Hamburg,
and the opposition of the eutire convention
to the condition that “ no other connec
tion should be allowed,” &c.
Our Washington Letter.
Washington, May 12,1870.
The statement of Mrs. McParland-Rich
ardson, published in the New York Tri
bune of yesterday, was the great topic of
interest here last evening. The paper was
in great demand. The supplies of the
newsdealers were soon exhausted, and
copies of the free-love organ passed from
hand to hand until quite worn ont with fre
quent fingering and folding. A few found
the statement of this woman “ splendid,”
ami declared that it completely exonerated
her, Richardson, and the rest of the free
lovers. It is needless to say that these
were persons reared in the same school
as the party to the late tragedy—men and
women who sit under Henry Ward Beecher,
aud find sweet consolation and guidance in
the teachings of the New York Independent
and Ti'ibune. But tlie great majority of the
people in Washington who read, last eve
ning, this story of a woman’s life, as told
by the woman herself, were both shocked
and disgusted. No one pretended to de
fend McFarland or to extenuate his con
duct. He may have been as bad a man as
his wife declares—he may have been even
more. That does not justify Iter conduct
nor sanction a publication characterized by
bad taste ami loose morals. The attacks
upon the free-love clique, of which the Tri
bune office is Che nucleus, arc fully justified
hy the statement made public over the sig
nature of Abby Sage Richardson. A wife,
while living with her husband, receives
notes of love and accepts a proposal of
marriage from another. Her defense is
that, having made up her mind to separate
from her husband, she considered herself
morally divorced from him, and free to ac
cept the love and proposals of others. This
is the free-love theory in a nut shell. Mrs.
McFarland may not have been a bad wo
man at heart. She was what associations
aud teaching made her. She became per
meated through and through with the
doubtful morality of free-loving New Eng
land; she was surrounded' by evil counsel
lors, and she fell. One man lost his life in
consequence, another has narrow ly escaped
the gallows, and all through the pernicious
teachings ofthe disciples of free-love.
Hon. VV. C. Sherrod, member of Congress
from Alabama, has just returned from a
brief visit to his home, occasioned by the
illness of his wife. Mr. Sherrod enjoys the
very rare distinction of being Southern
“born, raised and bred,” and or being in
reality as Well as in name, a representative
of the people of his district. Being un
fortunately a Democrat as well as a South
ern man, Mr. Sherrod’s field of usefulness
has been somewhat circumscribed ; but lie
lias not been idle. If a bill for a Southern
Pacific Railway passes the present session
it will be largely due to Mr. Sherrod’s un
tiring exertions. It is so seldom one has
an opportunity for saying anything in
praise of the so-called Southern Senators
and Representatives in the Forty-first Con
gress that I trust I shall be excused now
for bestowing praise where praise is due.
Ur. Sherrod has positively refused the
nomination for re-election, his business re
quiring him at home. He will, however,
take an active part in the canvass ; and
will exert himself as heretofore to restore
his State to Democratic rule.
There is, it appears, a positive pecuniary
benefit resulting from unremitting and vlo
lent personal abuse. John Russell Young
has found it so. His Standard has floated
into a paying circulation under the (s)can
dle-ous rays of Dana s Sun. J. R. Y. has
had more gratuitous advertising than any
man who ever embarked in journalism
Anil advertising alwafls paps. One news
dealer here sells 125 copies of the Standard
dally—more than all the other New York
papers combined. At Willard’s Hotel it is
only led by the Herald and Sun. Mr.
Young owes his success to Mr. Dana’s abuse
and persecutions and should feel grateful ac
cordlngly.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is evi
dently very much in earnest 1n its investi
gations of Bullock’s operations here. They
were not altogether satisfied with Mr. D
C. Forney’s statement (the publisher of the
Chronicle), and thought SI,BOO rather a
large sum for printing Senator Morton’s
blood and thunder Ku Klux speech. Yes-
terday they had the publisher of the Na
tional Republican before them, and took his
evidence as to the rates of advertising in
Washington, etc. Bullock is to be the
next witness, and then the investigation
will close. Nothing authentic in relation
to the anticipated disclosures of the Inves
tigation is obtainable at present. The
evidence is all to be printed, however, when
the committee have concluded their labors.
“ Shoo-Fly ” Cox got off two very good
things to-day during the debate on the
tariff. He criticised the spelling of a cer
tain word in the bill, and said if Webster
was correct it was mis-spelled. Maynard
o f u lf TTf e!,B £ e ’ who haa tarifr °n the brain,
asked Mr. Cox if he had to go to the die
tio n a 7 * M nd > ont how the* word was
spelled. No, promptly replied Cox
the dictionary came to me.” The book
had been brought to him by a page (No
pun is intended, reader.) Later, Mr. Cox
criticised Beast Butler’s pronunciation of a
word. The Beast enquired if the member
from New York considered that a fault.
Cox replied, “ My dear sir, I couldn’t begin
to enumerate your faults if I talked from
now until eternity. (General and continued
vwviuiwjr. t/UUtiuui'U
laughter.) I know the answer is not a very
proper one, but it is the way in which
the gentleman answers me. It is his style ”
(More laughter.) The Speaker now rapped
vigorously with his hammer. Butler made
a motion as if he was about to say some
thing, but finally joined in the laugh
against himself and sat down.
The Senate is discussing Wilson’s bill
for the reduction of the army; and the
House has up the tariff bill. It is very
dull in and around the Capitol.
The House Reconstruction Committee
did not have a quorum this morning and
consequently did nothing wish Georgia.
It is hardly probable now that they will
report before next week.
The members of the Bullock lobby have
not yet arrived, jtbough daily expected.

THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE LIVES.
The liver haß a very important part to perform in
the animal economy. Its function is twofold. The
fluid which it secretes tempers the blood and regu
lates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality
of the secretion depends, in a great degree, the adapt
ation of the Mood to the requirements of the system
and the due removal of the refuse matter which re
mains in the intestines alter the work of digestion
ha 1 been accomplished.
One of the principal uses of Hostetter’s \tomach
Bitters Js to tone and control this somewhat unruly
organ. The anti-bilious properties of the preparation
are scarcely secondary to its virtues as a stomachic.
Its operation upon the liver is no: violent like that of
mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating
n sudden tumult in that sensitive gland, it regulates
its action by degrees. Hence, it is a safe remedy for
bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremendous
excitant, is not. The more naturally and quietly a
diseased organ can be restored to its normal condition
the better, and it is the peculiar property of this
harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regu
late without exciting or conva sing.
The success which has attended its use as a remedy
for affections of the liver is proverbial. Persons of a
bilious habit who take it habitually as a protection
against the attacks to which they are constitutionally
liable, pronounce it the best liver ionic in existence.
The symptoms of an approaching fit of biliousness
can hardly be mistaken. A pain io the right side or
under the shoulder blades, a gaff on tinge in the
wnites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsi
ness, low spirits, loss- of appetite, constipation and
general debility are among the usual indications of a
nioibid condition of tho liver, and ha soon os they ap
pear the Bitters should be resorted to in order to
ward off more serious consequence?.

NUT GRASS. NUT GRASS.
How to Exterminate It!
Hav ING discovered a plan by which
the farmer and gardener can conquer and ex
terminate this great pest by agricultural pro
cess, with but little more than the ordinary
labor of cultivating laud, I offer to any one
desiring the information, and who will pledge
themselves not to divulge the secret for any
consideration to another, to give them the plan
on receipt of FIVE DOLLARB—obligating
myself in every case to return the money, with
interest, if a failure.
This plan I discovered by actual operation
and have found it to be successful, and needs
only to be presented to the intelligent mind to
obtain favor and adoption. I do not hesitate
to say that a hand by my process can lend at
least half the usual quantity of land of very b id
nut grass the first, and all that a hand can do
auvwhere the next year.
What I call nut grass is a small black cocoa
looking nut with numerous fibrous roots and
having a main one shooting out, forming an
other nut and blade of grans. These route and
the bottom of the blade resemble the young
cane root. *
