important freight tATraDgementasfoI for the.
Merchants Of ssumterville and Camden
S Amidst the dire confusion which the
recent flood has created, it is gratifying
to know, that some means have been
discovered by which our merchants, as
well rs the merchants of Camden, can
obtain their stock. We learn that Mr..
Solomons, the Engineer in charge of
this end of our Railroad has succeeded
in establishing regular communica-.
ton by means of wagons between the
Pee Dee river, at Cashua Ferry, and
Mars Bluff, and the head Of the Rail
road at Sparrow Swamp Turn Out
This is at once the safest surest and
most expeditions route by which our
merchants can obtain their stock, and
our planters their supplies. There are
four staunch Steamboats, used on the
Pee Dee between Charleston and
Cheraw during the season that the
River is navigable us it is at present.
These take from two to two and q
half days to reach the landings indica-
ted above. AT each Of these landings,
there are storehouscs kept by rcspon-
sible persons, who will store goods at
nominal per centage. The distance
to be traversed by the wagons is about
20 miles. At the Sparrow Swamp
Depot the Rail Road Company take
the articles at a reduced rate of freight
to their destination. We would call
the attention of our neighbors in mis-
fortune in Camden, to the above ar
rangcmcnt, us the most certain and re-
liable means of obtaining their stock.

TELEGRAPH TO EuRopE.-The Lon-E
don correspondent Of the National lns:
tclligcnccr makes this announcements
We yesterday heard the particulars!
of new and very promising project to
establish submarine telegraph be-
tween Great Britain and the continent
of North America. The transit slime
Of this telegraph will be, through its
entire length, as well as at its cons,
mcncemcnt and its termination, on; n
route which no former project has even!
alluded to. The obstacles to its exc
cuti"n are few and easily surmountcd.
Careful calculations have been made,
which show that the expense will not.
exceed one fourth part of the most
moderate preceding estimate. The
liability to accident aud derangemcnt
will be very small, and when they do,
occur they can be easily and prompt
~ rcmcdicd. /: ].
This project will unite every point;
in North America with every point liz
Europe which is at present reached by.
the electric telegraph; and an eastern
arm of the projected submarine tele4
graph will bring the nations of ASors-
way, Sweden, Denmark and Russia
into connection with all the lines If.

tive capitals-Berlin, Stockholm. Co,

structed by separate and additioil,sl
capital. The British Government lI,-
prove the plan, and many SCIENTIFIC
and practical men, to whom it has
been submitted, entertain no doubt of
its success. We hope in the course of
week or two to send you chartsoii
its intended route with particularsst,f'
plans, estimates, &c. Should this idea
be carried ont, and VIC see no reason
why it should not, there will be an at
most instantaneous communications
established between nearly every,
place in North America and Europe.
What will the science and perscvcr-
ancc OF the age next atternpt?'
A MAMMOTH TELEscopE.-We learn
from the correspondence Of the N. Y
Commercial, that an undertaking OF
great interest to scientific persons is
now being carried out within a few.
miles Of London. a wealthy country
clergyman named Craig, is construct
ing new monster telescope, on the:
achromatic principle, which will sur
pass the celebrated instrument con
structed by Lord Ross in Ireland.
Its total length will be s5 feet, and its
greatest circumference l3 feet. The
weight of the tube is three tons, and
the contrivances adopted to prevent
vibration, and to allow of its being
rapidly turned to any required point,
are described rs being singularly per-
feet and ingenious. 1t is understood
that the observatory will be endowed
by Mr. Craig, SO that it may be MAIN
tanned in pcrpetuity for the advantage
of astronomical science. From tho
date Of its completion, which may
shortly be expected, it will doubtless
dra" many persons from all parts OF
the world.
