advertisement, headed 500 Reward. We
are not aware that such a paliry sum would
tempt a reader of the Gazette 10 catch a hoy

calely made, with black eyes, hair straight.

would amy proposition OF that amount induce
them 10 harm a woman twenty-six years Old,
who is said to be every respectful and pleas

her when we say she is the mother Of the
''delicately made" boy, and Of two other chill
dren also with her.
Ills to be hoped that no one who reads the
Gazette is so poor that he can be tempted to
gain his bread by the money thus earned.-
Famine alone in lis most horrible form could
tempt "A man thus to sell his manhood. by
turning an iniormer. No man who reads The
Gazette, could eat bread which would be lit

freedom bligh'ed, would be by his act given

are the men who have put forth Gen.
Taylor, as their candidaseT for l.ie suf-
Ifraees fas of the American eoplc, and
should lie be successful in his election.
(which we do not believe,) he will 60 in
.to the Presidential Chair, despite sofa!l
his declarations. the nominee Of a party,
who. by their past history and actions,
have read US lesson of solemn warning
and .admonirion. Carrying with. him,
as he will, the sentiments and feelings
Of his party, what may we hope or ex
pect, from him in the agitation Of The
subject Of Slavery, unless he falls back
upon The only alternative left him by the
Constitui,on-,he exercise of the Veto
Power? Upon this point read his cele-.
brated Allison letter, and we shall find
the. old General at fault. We make a.
quotation:--""The personal opinions of
the individual WHO may happen TO .oc:
cupy the Executive Chaie, ought not to
control the action of Congress upon The
question of domestic policy, nor ought
his objections to be interposed. where
questions of Constitutional power have
been settled BY The various departments
oil Government, and acqufesced in by
the people," That is 10 say, whatever
may be Gen. Taylor's conslitional view
upon the subject of Slavery. if Congress
should choose to lrgisla,e upon the SUBJ
ject, and pass law prohibiting the iu-
PRODUCTION of Slaves into the new States
or Territories; his own personal opin-
ions ought not to inlerpose 10 control
its action. This is the inevitable rea.
soning Of his letter. We have made
the quotation TO show, how he is fct,er-
ed and bound by his own reasoning, and
still more closely hampered by the
party who arc endeavUring 10 place him
in power.
Upon all the other great Sulvehold-
ing questions Of the day, he has furnisll>
ed US with evidence sufficient of his
Wing notions, that, independent Of his
present position, we never could con,
sistenlly, with our own feelings, give him
our support. '.'''
What we have said, are our own pri-
vate and personal. opinions. Yet, we
think we can say without presumption,
they are jus, The opinions and sentiments
which tile people will take in Novem-
her next. For our own parl. we prefer

form of the campaign-adopted by the

MR.. CALHOUN'S RAIL ROAD
LETTER..

Our readers will find below very
interesting letter from the Hon. j. c.
Calhoun, addressed to our enterprising and
and public spirited townsman, J. P. Reed,
Esq on the subject OF the Greenvile and
Columbia Rail Road. The great conf
dence be expresses in the success of the
project will exercise most saluIary infu-
ence on the ,tew, who yet belieye the enter.
prise cannot be consummated. He can be
sci down as a warm friend 10 the Road,
inasmuch as he has given the highest evi.
deuce of his confidence, in addition TO his
opinion, Of the success. .ol the undertaking,
my making liberal subscription himself.
We commend il 10 the public generally,
aud the Greenvile Mountaineer, in par.
licuIar, and hope TO see the letter copied
in that paper. We resre, lha, Mr.. Reed
preserved no copy of his Letter TO Mr..
Calhoun, as we should nave been pleased
to give it place 10 our columns.
Washington, June !, 1915.
Deur Sir IL have read with interest
your letter of the 25h May, on the sub.
ject of the Rail Road now in progress from
Columbia TO Anderson.
You do not err III supposing, take
much interest in lis success. My predi
lection was, originally, in favor of the
route from Grceuviie 10 Hamburg or
Aiken, by Edgefeld. | think. still, that
route has great advantages, but am decid-
edy Of the. opinion, that, if there can DO
any one that can be fairly compared with
il, it is the one adopted, and lhat 1t is
beyond comparison, if not equally, the
next best. | am, also of The opinion,
decidedly, that she choice between them is
no longer al open question, and that the
alternative now, is uo4R R9alSal all, or the

FOUTH OF JULY.

Another year has past away, and the
Anniversary Of American independence
has dawned upon US. Since the 4th of July,
l647, what mighty events have taken
place. Revolution after revolution has
broke out in Europe, and The time hon.
ored m0narchies Of that section of The
globe seem to be touering 10 their fall.
In truth, at leas', one mighty mon.
archy has disappeared, and a Repub
lie has taken its place. Let it be The
earnest prayer Of US all, tina, it may be
permanent. On this consecra,ed day, let
US all soIemnly ask The great Ruler Of
nations, TO speed the time, when all king
doms and people, shall enjoy the blessing
Of free government and liberty Of con.
science. In our own country. events Of
most momeutous importance have trans
pired during the present year.
A tedious and most disastrous war has
been happily ended, and The territorial limits
of our country have been greatly enlarged.
New States have been added to our glori-
Gus Union, and in a little time others will
also be added, and when tho whole numher
shall be complete, none now can conjec.
ture. ,,.g..-s.,.s.s.
The future greatness ofour country, is
delightful theme upon which 10 dwell.
But whilst our statesmen are extending
our boundaries, let it be the endeavoorr of
the true palrio, 10 advance in correspond
ing ratio, the intelligence. and The virtue
of the people. Unless these move pari
passu, with Tho extension Of our limits an
nation, must entirely be destroyed.
That our present happy. Government
may long continue to diffuse its bless:
iugs among all nations, should be the sin.

it will conler such great a6d permanent
advantages, will have li,ileshope Of having
another. With it, it would be ono of The
most foufshinS portions Of the Stale and
the South; but without, one OF the most
depressed. With this impression, / trust,
no one will think of abandoningit. There
are ample means for lis completion.
Much Of the work. the grading, the bridg-
ing, the getting Of The timber, may be done
by the Stockholders; and al no lime more
advantageously than at present, when
prices are so low, and money so scarce.
A resolute spirit and strict economy in the
expenditures, will carry the work through
lriumphanlly.
have not the time, or data to estimate
the many great advantages Of The route,
or what profit the Stock would probably
yield. But feel assured, you have not
in your letter over estimated the former.
The route is well laid out 10 command
the trade aud travel of the large, populous
and fertile portion Of the State through
which it passes, and the contiguous por
lions of Georgia, Tennessee. and North
Carolina. II has also great advantages
for extending itself by proIongatiun aud
branches, with The growth of The eXten
sive region, lying West and North Of il, in
population and wealth.
Ii these riows be correct. and if the
Road can be completed within the sum
estimated, and, if il should he ccouom-
cally managed. of which ,hero canuo, be
much doubt, considering who are The
Stockholders, ii will, after it gels fairly
under way, in all probability, yield rea-
sonable profits; with the prospec' Of very
handsome, with The growth and increased
prosperity of the country, aud ultimately,
large, when the Road has allained its full
extension.
But i, would be taking a very narrow
view, 10 look only 10 the profits on inc
Stock, in estimating the gain of The region
it would accommodate. The rise in The
value Of property; in The price of the
various articles it produces; the enlarge
mcnl Of the number of such articles, by
cheapening transportation and enlargns
its market; The greater uniformity Of price
with the enlargement of The marker; the
growth of the manufactures, fnr which the
abundant waller power, the health Of The
climate and cheapness of living afford so
many advantages, and finally. the popu-
lalion and travelling, that would he attract
ed by the romantic and fine mountain
region and The elevated plains that extend
out from their eastern basis, must all be
taken into account, in summing up lis
gain. These are so great, that the differ
encc between whar the region would be
with The Road and without the Road, is
that of llourishiug and prosperous coun"
try, and of depressed. and at best. a
stationary onc-uf one that retains its
population aud receives emigraprs, and
ono that sends forth emigranls without
receiving them. =.
