II is general principle, sanctioned by sad

will wear ont the responsibility Of any distinct
caste. Ii this axiom be in many instances too
true, it has its exceptions. The late Govern

was Il son of the Eutaw Cavalier, and whom
some Of OR settled fellow-sollicrs remember
as Chief Magistrate when they marched to
Columbia in 1924, to assist in paying honor;

Our present Governor and Commander-in-
Chief, is a worthy son OF his WORTHY sircs.

confidently trust that his administration will
add new appreciation to that already acquired.
Therefore,

When British cruiser captures SLAYER and

COLUMBIA, July 4, 1858.
Mr.. Editor-The President and Chief Eng-
nccr of the Spartanburg and Union Rail Road
hold out strong aud favorable inducements to
subscribers at this place to take Stock. The es-
tablishing Of Machine and Work Shops here, is
of itself sufficient nducement, if all other advan-
tages were lost sight Of to subscribe liberally and
promptly. This Of course must throw something
like two hundred mechanics in business here,
which otherwise would not be carried on The
amount Of money which would be necessarily en-
pended in the erection Of such important euter-
prises could hardly be estimated at less than
double the amount of Stock subscribed for bv
the citizens Of Columbia In view of these re-
suits, is it not reasonable, and manifestly the du-
ty Of the people without moment of delay to
take sufficient amount of Stock to insure so
important an enterprise in our midst and one
which must Of necessity add largely to the busi
ness and prosperity Of Columbia. In regard to
the worthy and enterprisilg President Of the
Spartanburg and Union Road, if he has sule-
rior in South Carolina DO not know it. have
known him intimately and well for fifteen or
twenty years, and for sound Judgment and rrac-
teal business habits, and Success in all matters
either Ola public or private character, he has been
cnncntly successful, indeed am no. advised Of
any undertaking in which he has engaged which
has failed.
Ii his own District he is very popular and
highly appreciated. As private man his lie
is dcvptc,l to Planting and Merchandising, also
engaged in carrying on a Cotton Factory, al! Of
which are j. SIcccss:u! operation.
