Hamburg.

We are pleased to see our sister Town above
named, advocating Plank Road via this p ace,
10 the Upper Districts of the State. But for
our injudici"ns and meau wransle. two years
ago with each other, we should now realize the
incalculable advantages of Hamburg, Edge
field and Greenvlle Rail Road.
Tllnugilwe may not he ablc to redeem the
permanen, advantages which we then lost, we
mny ye, greatly ameliurate our presel condi-
ton. Augusta is destined TO become Town
Of considerable manufacturing and mercantile
importance. Her abundance Of water power,
with her present increasing facilities OF Steam.
boat and Rail Road transportation. giving her
the cadvantageso both the Savannah and Char
cstnn markets, justify these anticipation.
ANY road therefore, which will bring Augusta
nearer 10 us, will reduuhd 10 the permanentin.

constructed from the latter place. Hamburg.
which is located at Augusta, aud possessed ol
all her advantages. can afford to our planters Il
better market FOR ti-ir co;tca than iciher Co.
lumba or Granileville.
Owing 10 her Steamboats, which are so well
adapted for the transportation Of sugnrs, salt,
and other heavy merchandise, she may supply
our country with groceries al a cheaper rate
than either Of these Towns. Atpresenl cotton
is carried from Hamburg 10 Charleston, al so
cents per bail, while from Columbia S 90 is
required. This is owing to the STEAMBOATS, and
Rail Road competition which, 10 The advantage
Of the farmer, keeps each other in mutua and
reasonable limits as TO their charges for freight.
Ii is just Inference therefore, that Hamburg
will always give fraction moro for cotton and
sell groceries Attraction less, than Columbia.
This f-aclinn with extensive planters, whose
sales and purchases are necessarily large. will
make considerable lcm aud inducement to
palronize il,e Hamburg market. Also, tue
more limited planters owing 10 the expenses Of
engaging factors in Columbia, if they trans
port by Rail Road. will feel a stronger reason
to bring their produce 10 this market.
