A meeting of the Stockholders in the

it is probable the route will be decided
1t is important that all who have subscribed
should appoint proxies to represent them, or
they can have no voice in the selection.
We adhere to the opinion heretofore ex-
pressed, that if Columbia is fixed on as the
lower terminus, the road will not touch
either Abbeville or Anderson Districts if
built at all. 1t would be too circuitous and
expensive. Blu, if Aiken or Hamburg
should be substituted, the road will pass en-
tirely through Edgefeld and Abbeville, and
if taken to the Pickens line, or within
few miles of it before diverging to Green
vile, almost entirely through Anderson also
The proxies from this part of the country
would surely do we'll 10 consider the adj
vantages of this route.
We think it extremely doubtful whether
the amount subscribed, with the conflicting
opinions, will secure the road under the
charter, and we are clearly OF the opinion,
that the wisest course would be to amend,
or rather blend the two charters of the
Greenville and Edgefeld companies, at the
next session. If this cannot be effected.

More TrOODS.

The Washington Union, of Wednesday,
states that the war Department has deter
mined to raise two new regiments forth
wlth-one from Tennessee and the other
from Michigan. There are ten more compan-
les IN East Tennesse who have offered their
services than could be accepted under the
last requsition. AS. these companies are
still anxious to serve in the field, and were
not willing to abandon the idea until the 90.
Vernment had finally disposed ofthe subject
they will constitute one of the regiments
which are now called for. Thus thcy will
be better prepared to march to Mexico and
take the field, than perhaps any other rcgi-
ment that could be called out.
The volunteers of Michigan have mani
tested the greatest eagerness to serve their
country; and the other regiment is, there.
fore, 10 be organized in that young and pa-
triotic State.
Who can doubt the military spirit of our
people? or the capacity of the government

F.te Grand Attraction.

On Saturday last our citizens were
thrown into ecatasics by an exhibition of
ground and lefty tum6limg, riding, negro
songs, &c. At an early Hour in the morn
ing, crowds were seen pouring in from all
directions, and ;,l,hougll this place is fa-
nous for patrcnising :nch shows, we do not
remember to have ever seen so large a turn
out upon such an occasion. 1t is little
singular that ihere should lie such a dispo-
sit;on manifested among all classes to visit
these places when the exhibitions are the
same thing over and OYER again, and when,
also, it is encouraging set of worthless
characters who regard neither the Sabbath,
religion or morals, and scarcely the dccen-
cies Of life Again, shoul'! they be cncour-

Another thing that strikes us as strange
is this, had the same notice been given that
at the church, which was lesa than a stones
throw from the circus, a missionary sermon
would be preached to raise funds to send
the Bible to the perishing heathen, how
many would have attended? We venture
the assertion that two dozen of the numbers
that came in from the country would not
have been there, and perhaps less num-

Santa Anna.

A letter in the New Orleans Patria of
the 18th instant, dated Vera Cruz, October
flst, states, in substance that an aid-de. camp
OF SANTA ANNA and groom, who usually
accompanies the latter, had been in that ci-
ty where they arrived two days previously.
The inference is, that SANTA ANNA himself
IS 'urking in the vicinity Of the sea-coast,
intending to embark in the English steam
er Medway, which was to sail for Havana
Inc next day. The writer considers the
TACT that since the appearance of the aid-de.
camp, nothing more has been heard of
SANTA ANNA's being at Puebla, as confirm.
ing the opinion that he is on the coast
watching an opportunity to quit the country.

The FOREIGN NEws.-Each successive
arrival from Europe brings an accession of
disastrous commercial intelligence, in which
all interest in political event is absorbed.
Failure after failure in Great Britain at
tests the intensity and generality of the IN er-
camille distress, which is also unparalleled for
its duration. Their is of course much anx-
iety 10 ascertain the probable extent of the
reaction on this side OF the Atlantic. There
is one circumstance that will tend TO palli-
ate, If it does not prevent, the severity of the
pressure in the United States. A large
amount Of the earlier purchases of grain in
our markets were on American account, on
which the losses were not large, if any,
while those made at the later stages of the
speculation were on English account, on
which the sacrifices have been enormous.
Yet it is difficult to determine when, in the
constantly increasing circle of bankruptcy
houses OF ancient standing, which had no
agency in the Corn speculation, have fallen
from their high eminence, where the revul-
sion will be arrested, and the limit of insol.
vency reached. If British and Continental
houses remarkab e 70, the general prudence
OF their dealings, could not escape the effects
OF the storm, having only remote connex.
ions with those which have been over.
thrown, how is it possible that American
establishments with English connexions can
elude the consequences of their prostration.
In this respect the commercial world is like
one commonwealth III which the interests
of a common destiny bind them together
in an extended chain, however impercepti.
BILE the links to common observation.
1t will be perceived that the bank of Eng:
land has again put up the rate of interest,
which is a sign that an apprehension exists
on the part of that institution that the trouble
is not approxima,ing TO its limit. Under
these circumstances it is matter of surprise
that the government of fEngland, if not d.
rectly in the shape ofrellef to the mercantile
interest, but meda.ely through some change
or modification of the bank charter. does
not remove the felters by which its free
movements are hampered, and its ability TO
assist that interest preciuded.

From the Charleston Courier.

INTERESTING LE1rER.-The following
extract of letter from an officer Of the ar
my, engaged in the recent terrific encoun-
ters that have taken place before and in the
City of Mexico, is of absorbing interest, in
asmuch as it gives us the Intelligence Of the
safety ola number OF Our galan, spirits, in
whose fate the feelings Of many of our citi-
zens are most deeply involved.
1t will be seen that Major GLADDEN. and
1t. Robertson are mentioned as unhurt.-
The pu ublished accounts stale that both were
wounded, which we think was probably the
case, bu, the letter brings us to the crafty
ing conclusion that their wounds were
slight, and that they have both recovered.
The writer Of the letter would have known
if either had been severely injured, while
the nature of his duties were of such an ar
duous character as to render it very proba-
bic that slight wound might not have come
under his observation.
