Savannah River Railroad.

Ir has been thought by many that the Prnject Of a
railroad route, from Hamburg, up the Savannah
river valley Anderson Cont IIouSe, cannot fail 10
result in abortion. At first we were among those
who supposed that such would be the termination Of
the affair. But have heard things of late which
induce to think differently. Some Of the most in
defatigablc and practical men in the State be-
coming deeply interested in its success. A large
amount Of capital is ready for the investment. Two
hundred thousand dollars are known to be forlhcom-
ing from two able sources only. Another large
amount is expected with confidence from still fuller
fountain. And many smaller inlh itlnal sums are
known TO be awaiting but the signal for subscription
We could give names and vouchers for the above
statement five felt authorised 10 so. We sincerely
wish the enterprise success; and would say to the
people on the Western side Of Edsriicld "put your
shoulders 10 the wheel, every man of you and with
q strong push and push altogether you will build
road whiuh must result in ineslimabe benefits to
yourselves and your descendants after you for agcs to
come"

INCREASE OF SALAEIES.-t1owercr public
men may differ upon political subjects. they
agree upon ore point, and that is to help them
selves to as mueh OF The public money as pos
sible. A case in point has just occurred. The
whig Secretary Of the Interior suggested that
members Of The cabinet should be better uolr:-
pcnsatcd, and Il democratic Congress h;s raised
their salaries from six to eight thousand dollars
per nnnnm. And it was even attempted to carry
the further suggestion of the Secretary into
effect, and furnish them with palaces to reside
in. In this age Of retrenchlnent and reform"
of loud profession and non-perfnrlnance, extra
vagancc and Inconsistency are more tolerated
than i'll former times, when profession and prac-
ticc usually went together.
In 4 few years more it will be found cXped-
ant to put the civil establishment Of this country
more upon a par will! those of Europe-whetl-
er to he followed with the usual distinction of
orders will depend upon the whin of the day.
The salary Of tho President will be increased to
fifty or Il hundred thousand dollars; and every
thing else in proportion We are a progress
siYe' people, and arc rapidly leaving behind us
the republican simplicity which formerly charac-
terzcd ls rs nation. But This being part Of

SCHOLARSHIP IN TIE S. C.. CoLLEGE.-We
take great pleasure in announcing, on the all-

Hampton, Jr., with the characteristic iberality
of his name, has presented to the institution !:
permanent proof OF the deep interest he has in
its welfare, and in the great and important cause
Of education. The citizens of Richand are par
ticuarly indebted TO this bounty, rs the only
restriction attached 10 the scholarship, is that
ccteris paribus, native Of The district is entitled
to preference. The election Of the recipient
of the privileges of the Hampton Scholarship is
conlided to the Faculty Of the Institution.
Such investment Of capital yields IN interest
incaeulably valuable, and does honor to the
