of the Upper Division of South Carolina

207, 500. Gain, 1870; more than half

RAILROADS. We feel gratifed in hav-
ing it in our power to state, that three or
four miles of the SchuyIkill Valley rail-
road is now in complete order for use. 1t
has been laid with double track, and is
very strongly constructed, the cost aver
aging about S2500 per mile when ironed.
Several cars of different patterns are now
running on it, for the sake of experiment,
but we cannot yet announce the result.
The lateral railroads are being completed,
leading to the works of the different indi-
viduals along its route. The whole of
this railroad cannot be completed this fall
about two miles will be deferred until
spring, when it will be extended to within
eight miles of the Mauch Chunk mines,
through fine coal country the whole dis
lance.
Two miles of the Mill Creek railroad,
extending up to MIR. Nichols's plantation,
have been completed under the auspices of
Messrs. Nichols, Morris, and the Lessee
of the coal mines. The road is now in
order, and will send vast
quantity of coal to Port Carbon. 1t con-
sists of single track, and is built in
very permanent manner.
The Mount Carbon railroad Company
have chosen their President and Direc-
