AN ExpER1MENT.-The New York Tribune
says :-"Singular results are obtained in this city
from very simple application Of the nervous
fluid, animal magnetism, or whatever be the
agency, to brute matter Let party of six or
eight persons sit around a common pine table
for twenty minutes to half an hour with the
palms of the hands held fiat on the top Of the ia
BILE; it is not necessary that their minds should
pay any attention to the process, or conversation
be suspended but presently the table beccmesso-
charged with the mysterious fluid that it begins,
to move; then rise from it, push away your
chairs, still holding your hands near, though it :
is not necessary to touch it, and it will turn
around from end to end, and even proceed rapid
ly about the room, without any visible agenton
which excursions the persons must bear it COM
pany, or the current is broken and the movement
stops. This simple experiment may easily be
tried; it requires no faith and no outlay of ply
sical or moral strength; and the result, with
table that is not too heavy,is pretty sure to-
follow"

The BLUE RIDGE RAILRoAD.-This matter, we
are glad to state has been brought fairly before
the Legislature, and its great Importance must
commend it to the earnest consideration of that
enlightened body. A heavy responsibility rests
upon its members, and we cannot doubt that
they will avail themselves Of this opportunity to
connect South Carolina with the rich and
fertile valleys ofthe great West, thereby placing
her on an equality, so far as regards interior COM
munication. with those States which have mani
tested aIuJiicious appreciation OF ITS value and
insusuring for her own metropolis an advance
in the race OF population and wealth not to be
accomplished by any other means. The amount
asked for by the memorialists is small in COM
parison with the vast sums which have been ap-
propriated 20 similar purposes Ay other States,
and we earnestly hope that no notions of false
economy will deter the members Of the Legisla-
ture from promoting this great enterprise by
granting such aid as may be found necessary to
its com etion. 1t will not do for South Caroli
ma to stand still in an age like this when the
energies of the whole civilized world, and partic-
ularly that portion of it which lies contiguous to
herself, are directed to the development of resor-
ces and the progress of improvement.
The able report, submitted OH Tuesday in the
Senate by Mr. Crew, sets forth in strong and
convincing language, the advantages that must
result from the contemplated connection, and we
feel it our duty to do what we can in urging
upon our fellow citizens to seize the golden op-
portunity now presented bringing to our doors
the untold treasures of the West.
