Railroad Convention at Anderson.


We have not yet received official proceedings
If this interesting meeting which convened on
the lst inst, but having conversed with Dele
gate who has returned, we are able to give
brief sketch of its results, which will doubtless IN
terest our readers. There was some fear that
difference of opinion as to the recommenda
tions to he made, would render the Convention
abortive as to its great object but we are hap
ly to say that free conference of the members
ceconciled all differences and that the proceed
ings were marked by great unanirnity and good
feeling.
The States of South Carolina, Georgia, North
Carolina, and Tennessee were represented and the
attendance of Delegates was large. Judge
O'Neall was chosen President. On taking the
Chair e.made an address which gave great sat
isfaction-the whole tendency of it being to
promote harmony and to impress upon the Con-
vcntion the immense value of the undertaking
they had met TO advance.
A committee, of whom Mr.. Perrin of Able
vile, was Chairman, made an admirable Report
which was unanimous y adopted with the Reso-
utions appended. Among these was one pro-
viding for the appointment of Committee Of
three, whose duty it should be, in conjunction
with the Direction of the Blue Ridge (Rabun
Gap) Railroad Company, to memorialize the
Legislature of South Carolina in favor of extend
ing and confirming the Charter of that Compa-
ny from the State line to Anderson G. H., with
its privileges and provisions. This resolution
is of the utmost importance and was the basis OF
the Convention. Another Resolution provides
for the appointment of a Committee o memo
rialize the Legislature for such aid from the State
as will secure the early completion Of this great
work
These are the principal steps of a practical
character taken by the Convention. But much
information was communicated in reference to.all
the interesting points connected with the enter
prise, showing its practicability and its great
value to all the region through which the Road
would pass and its still greater value to Charles
ton.
The Convention continued in Session Thurs
day and Friday, and adjourned with the best
feeling. Charleston Mercury.
THE THIRD PARrY.a-The Boston Bee still
keeps at the head of its editorial "For President
Daniel Webster" and in the Boston Courier
and some other Wing papers there, we see cab
for grand Rejection Meeting.
The New York Mirror says it is in possession
of numerous communications from all parts and
sections of the country, calling for the meeting
Of National Convention Of Union Men, without
distinction of party, for the purpose OF nomina-
ting Daniel Webster for the Presidency. "The
United Order of Americans" the Mirror says,
have called Il convention. to be held next week,
with this object in view. The friends of the
movement hole to throw the election into the
House, where they say, Daniel Webster will ftre
better than in the Baltimore Convention. New
England it is said, is moving in this direction.
| The New York Express, however, says Mr..
Webster will not countcnance the use Of his
name for the formation ola third party, and those
who reckon upon him to head such a party don't
know their man. In regard to any suggestions
of opposition by his friends to the Wing nomi-
nations, he has uniformly and decidedly dscour-
aged them. Mr.. Webster is expected in New
York this week, and will, visit Marshfeld, where
he will remain till October.
