G- We cannot help feeling great soli-
eitude as to the result Of the election
next Monday. There are two candi-
dates who more particularly engage the
attention ofthe people in this section Of
the state--Harrison and Van Buren,.
In fact, we 90 not know Of single act
of Van Buren, which entities him to that
high consideration Of the people which
might induce them to elevate him to the
Presidential chair. There is nothing in
lis hole political course. that can BIO
exhibited by his most jealous Partisans
which distinguishes him as a statesman,
or even as a politician adheriBg TO any
6xed principles. What are his prinei-
ples' No ere can tell. What political
set of bis do his advocates rely on to jug

Of this establishment will soon be un.

render the subjects of disease. com.

placing them in institutions for that
purpose, aud en- tirely under the con

influence of mild and gentle means
without violence in any instance, they

To promote these desirable effects
in addition to other means, every

must be divided into classes, accord

recovering from the shock oecasloned by
the failure and forgeries Of Mr.. Rathbun,
who, though so recently employing the
heads and hands of 4 thousand men, and
welding millions of dollars, is now the In
mate ola prison. Yes this extraordinary
man, who but yesterday was lord OF most
he surveyed, is now censigued TO cell four
feet wide and eight long! He was struck
down in the very midday Of career OF
unparalleled enterprise, the memorials of
which attract the eye in every direction.
An the various and beautiful specimens
of taste and genius which adorn the magic
citv, are the creations of Mr.. Rathbun.
This spacious church, yonder beautiful
theatre, that splendid hotel, those numerous
blocks of stores, and those elegant man.
sions, were all erected by Rathbun. These
stores, filed with merchandise, invite Gus
tom under the name "B. Ra,hbun." This

RAIL ROAD FROM wRIGHT's BLUFF, sANTEE
TO suHTERvILE, &c. &c.

At meeting of the citizens Of fClarcndon,
held at Fulton Academy on the 10Th Aug.
1886, Jeptha Dyson, Esq. Chairman, and
II. Mclean, Secretary, the following Pre-.
amble and Resolutions were adopted:-
A quick, easy and cheap communication
between the Atlantic and the Lakes, being
about to be opened, by means of a Rail
Road to Charleston, from Louisville, Mays
vile and Cincinnati, by way Of the French
Broad, n. c., and thence, crossing the
Broad River, in S. G. at the easiest and
cheapest place Of passage, to its Eastern
Bank-in fact, through the Villages of
York, Chester and Winnsborough, to. Co.
lumbia and thence, to its destined point
at Charleston. The citizens Of Sumter
District generally. aud those of Clarendon
county, particularly, cannot avoid, on so
interesting an occasion, uniting with their
fellow.citizens in general, in expressing the
satisfaction they feel, at finding there Is so
perfect prospect of full and complete sue
cess attending this magnificent and munif.
cent proicct-a project, rendered still more
magnificent and more munifcent, by its
commencement in Charleston, with the de.
claration recently made and satisfactorily
proved to be snccre-that especially, also,
as it is impossible for them TO entertain a
moments doubt, that, to say nothing Of the
money that will be saved or the difficulties
that will be diminished, in passing the s. c..
Broad, as high up the Country as in such a
case, it would do-and, moreover, when the
easy passage ofthe Road through the wealthy
and consuming districts of the Fork, formed
by the Wateree and Congaree is considered,
the comparative case with which the former
River can be passed from Dawson's land
ing in Rlchland, to point not far below
Manchester in Clarcmont point, whence
eventually there will be formed Road to
Sumterville, Darlington, &c. &c. from
Wright's Bluff or its vicinity, the generally
inclined plane along which it will have to
pass to the Santee and, when the Road is
completed, from thence to Charleston-when
all these circumstances are recolectcd, the
citizens ofSumter cannot, they repeat, en-.
terrain doubt, that route, uniting all east
tern S. c. and the Country between the
Broad and the Catawba, not only with the
"great West" but also with Columbia and
Charleston, & furnishing to both those rising
