VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD.

The proceedings of the people of Charleston,
published in our paper of yesterday, relative to
the connection of the railroads of South Carolina.
with those OF North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
lucky, aud other Western States, deserve the at
tenton of the Legislature. 1t will have been seen
that the citizens of Charleston have adopted ac-
tive measures to effect this connection, and there
can be no doubt that the scheme will be energeti-
cally prosecuted. 1t has been shown by Col Gar
! nett, I'D alate communication to the Richmond pa
pers, that this Rabun Gap road, if completed be-
fore the Virginia and Tennessee Road, would be
formidable rival of the latter Improvement. If
South Carolina shall pre-occupy the ground,
Charleston will be the first to seize the prize for
which we are struggling to-wit-the trade and
travel of the South West.
1t is the opinion of COL Garnett that without
further State aid it will require FIVE years to com
plete the Virginia AID Tennessee Railroad. In
one half of that time South Carolina will have eff
fected her connection with the South West, and
gathered the rich harvest which our natural ad
vantages, combined with very moderate share of
foresight and energy, should have enabled us to
reap. 1t is not yet too late to compete success
fully with our Southern rival, but there is notime
to be lost and unless the appropriation of $780,
600 asked for the South Western Railroad shall be
granted at an early period we shall inevitably be
distanced in the race. But with the aid fthis ap-
preparation, the Virginia company can easily out
strip their rivals, and having once occupied the
ground the superior natural advantages of
their work will enable them to maintain it with
out difficulty. We hope that this Charleston
| movement will not be lost upon ourlegislators.

marks shall make upon that document-they are
not so intended. | would not willingly give Of
fence to him, and great must be the provocatIon
which would tempt me TO say Intentionally any
thing to wound his sensibties. | must be per-
mtted to say, however, that there are, in my
| JUDGMENT, some papers which gentleman ought
not to sign or endorse, and | regretted that my
| friend should have given even quasi sanction to
a document of which l shall be compelled to speak
in no very complimentary terms. It is true, he
would not vouch for its correctness, flor knee it
to be false in several important particulars but if
he had examined it with the same scrutiny which
he doubtless would have applied to it, had it been
as favorable to my cause as it designed by its
euthor to be to his, he would have seen the gross
est inaccuracies and would have exposed them with
feeling of indignation at the thought that an eff
fort should be made to effect the wishes of his con-
stituents by paper so false and spurious.
Though not strictly in order to refer to pro-
ceedings in committee, take leave to say, that
the gentleman and some of his friends know that
in the committee for Courts of Justice, had used
statement, showing the distances from the va
rious counties in the District to Pittsylvania C.
H. and to Lynchburg respectively That state
ment was used by me in argument, as an offset to
the gentleman's map, and to his doctrine of CEN
tralities By my statement it appeared that the
aggregate OF distances was less by the public
high ways to Lynchburg, than to Pittsylvania c.
H.; and argued from that fact that wherever
the geographical centre might be, the true point
to be regarded was that which could be reached
on the earth, mot on the map) by the shortest dis
tances from the various counties in the district
If was correct in that position, land l don't
think it can be successfully assaied) then the ar
gument on centralities could not be maintained
So must have thought the kind person who fur
nlShed the statement used by the gentleman for
the object of that statement is to show that Pitt
sylvania G. H. can be reached by shorter lines of
| travel from the several counties than Lyrchburg.
The design of the author of that paper mag have
been very innocent and praseworthy but his
figures have justly subjected him to harsher COM
mentaries than good taste would authorize Us to
employ on this floor. read the document, YER
