OUR RAILROAD AND IT'S NEW PRESl-
DENT

Messrs Editors There is an old and trte,
though nevertheless true saying, that "new
lords make new laws" which 1 think is very
apparent "to all and singular" the inhabitants
of Kershaw, Sumter, aud Richland Districts,
inst about this time But whether these new
laws enacted by the new lords are always for
the best, remains to be seen. Since the com.
Dletion of the Camden Branch Railroad, until
within few days ago, there has been regular
daily intercourse between Columbia and this
place; which was source of great conve-
uience to a great many living all along the
line, as well as the travelling community OF
Columbia and Camden. For this accommo-
daton they were willing to pay, and for it they
did nav. But mark the change, in cost as well
rs custom. A great fuancier has vacated his
seat in the dark palace Of the Bank OF Charles
ton, and is now placed at the head OF the Rail
road Company. Occasionally he takes ride
up to Hamburg, Columbia, and Camden; at
first he was somewhat blinded, as is usually the
case when suddenly brought i'll contact with
the light; but he has recovered from that, and
now discovers that the practice which has been
followed ever since the completion OF the road
in this particular section, does not pay, and
therefore must be discontinued. He seems to
think that the Railroad is chartered for the
sole purpose of making money, and not for mu-
tual accommodation; or perhaps he imagines
such course (if it takes) will enable the Di.
rectors to declare dividend which will 80 far to
enable the stockholders to pay up the balance
of twenty-five dollars on each share, which
thew have determined to call in. But enough.
The distance from this place to Columbia
is but thirty-three miles. The old mode OF
travelling thither can be resumed; and i'll a short
time he who has yet to learn the difference be-
.,n Ranking au;. ENGINEERING, will find HIM

posed by the North. The Committee has been
appointed: we will not say the South has been
successful in that act, unless we say she has hur-
ried her own destruction. There is no doubt but
what that committee will recommend all that the
North have asked. The admission of California,
it makes no earthly difference whether there be
territorial bills attached or not,-the admission of
California, embracing the entire Pacific coast with
the non.slavery constitution, will be enough to
doom the South; and that this must be the case,
so far as the Senate is concerned, there can be no
doubt When the recommendations of that COM
mittee come back to the Senate, with its Webster
ism and Clayey features-with shadow for the
South, but matter for the North-thc North will,
with one Of their "liberal concessions agree to
abide by the decision of the committee; and if the
South shows any disposition 10 disagree, the
North will cry out "What! your ovn commit
tee, and not abide by its decisions" Its pro-
poser and many who voted for il: will be obliged
to concede; and thus weaken the already weak
forces of the South. We have not: nor have had
any liking for the committee. When compromises
are all on one side, there is little equality.
Since writing the above, the correspondence OF
the Baltimore Sun, which appears in another COL
ulnn, has come to hand, and proves our remarks
correct. Though this is not formal report from
the Committee, yet there is no doubt it will be.

WASHINGTON, April u,


The compromise committee, appointed on
Friday last, have already had meeting, and
seem to have agreed on the following:
lst. TO oreporta bill for the admission OF Cali

ment of the Texas boundary, by liberal COM
pcnsation to that State.

4tll. To abolish the slave trade i'll the District
of Columbia by extending the laws Of Maryland
over it.
Little or no doubt is entertained but that all
these bills will pass both Houses by respectable
ma orities
In regard to the Texas boundary, it is not yet
decided whether that matter will come up i'll
separatc bill, or whether, rs IL kindred subject,
it will be included in the bill for the admission
of California and the establishment of territori-
al governments in New Mexico aud Utah.
Should separate bill be introduced, the COM
mttce, out of respect for the oldest Senator
will probably recommend the passage OF Mr.
Bcnton's bill.

Tho Plank Road.

We are glad to see that the experiment is being
made-that the work has commenced, and we
are shortly to have ocular demonstration (on
small scale--not fair specimen) of the practical
bity of Plank Road. The timbers are being
laid, commencing from the public square, and will
be carried down Main street, through Log Town,
to the brow of the hill, as we understand; dis
tance of fseveral hundred ya,ds. Our people will
have an opportunity, to some extent, of seeing and
Judging for themselves. We opine their verdict
will be in favor of the scheme. We earnestly
hope this may not be all. We need Plank Road
to North Carolina; and we trust the enterprise
and ambition of our people will carry the work on
until the whole arrangement is consummated-
until the Road is built. The interests Of the town
of Camden, and the up country, demand 1.-THE
salvation of our interests, in business point
view. nperatvely requires it. With plank road
to Camden, we may not care for Columbia, witt
all her iron arms, graspng or trying to take in all
the up country, and cut us entirely Oft. Cheraw

the work. With such road, we may very rea-
sonably expect large increase to the trade ofour
town without it the contrary must inevitably
be the result. No reasonable man can expect that
the trade or business Of town or city can i'll
crease when SO many obstacles lie in the way.
How much Of the time this season have our mar
ket roads been in such condition as to render
them next to impossible. Our farmers will hardly
be willing another season to undergo the fatigue
and expense of marketing their produce to Cam
den, if better ways are not made. We hope our
people may be induced by all the circumstances
around them to "mend their ways" and that
speedily. 1t is true, even if we do not have a
Plank Road or roads, there may be few cotton
bags for our merchants to scramble over; but this
is not what we want We want our streets filled
with wagons, and those wagons filled with pro-
ducc-that which will give life, spirit, and energy
to our town.

FROM INDIAN RIVER.

The steamer Monmouth. from Indian Rive.
Florida, arrived at our port on Saturday last.
She brought number Of passengers, including
several officers of the army In Florida. We
have not obtained much news by this arrival, but
sufficient to satisfy us, in connection with news
direct from Tampa, that the Indians have deter.
mined not to remove peaceably. Billy Bow Legs
has evacuated his town with his followers, and
with Sam Jones, has retired into the southern
extremity Of the Everglades, where they are
perfectly secure from the, operation Of the mr.
nv during the summer.

sold his fat hogs, received 9 good supply Of
blankets-bu he cannot come in, for his schild
