ANOTHER RAILROAD.

A correspondent of the Edgcfield Advertiser

qestion,. and one eminenly worthy OF inc
Serious consideration of the people of Edgeheld,
and one they should not allow to pass by unlm-
proved. The route indicated possesses many
natural advantages, being ridge and comparl-
tivelv level. with few or no water courses, so
that road built thcrc.woud be pcrman mt and
not subject 10 periodical disasters from freshcts.
The citizens of Edgcfcld village, 10y their in
difference to enterprise Of this kind, have in Il
manner isolatedcthemselves, and placed barriers
in the way of the Improvement of their town.
Hamburg, from pursuing the same policy, has
also ruined her prospects, and had it not been
for the frcslct last summer, which proved so
disastrous to the Greenvillc and Columbia
Railroad, her trade would have dcsc:;cu her
almost entirely, and icr spacious warehouses
and stores become, ere this, the abode OF OWLS

capable of exeriing, could, in the inclplcncy OF
the Grccuvie project. have secured the location
by their own doors, but rs re have said, lndlf-
ference or something else, caused them to stand
aloof, and the golden opportunity was lost
Have they not regretted their course since
The repeated interruptions and disasters upon
the Grccnvile and Columbia Railroad, owing to
its unfortunate location, is producing dissalis-
faction and disappointment every where up the
country, and heEcc the attention of many OF
our citizens has been directed 10 the one above
rrfcrrcd.:o; as one likely to be more permanent
and practicable. If the people OF Edgctleld

will find warm and ardent friends above who

BALTIMORE. March (.

Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, was this
day inauguratcd at Washington rs President OF
the United States. An immense avalanche Of
the people poured into the city at an early hour,
and the gathering on the occasion, far exceeded
in number that of any former similar event. The
Civic and Military procession, which was very
grand. and imposing, was formed at the appoint
ed hour and proceeded TO Wizards Hotel,
where the President of the United States and
President elect were received in line, and escort
cdto the Capitol, where the ceremony of the
inauguraiion.took place The following is the
substance Of the Inaugural Address OF General
Pierce:
The policy the administration, he said, will
not be controlled by timid forebodings Of evil
from the expansion of our territory. 1t is no;
to be disguised that the acquisition of certain
possessions not within the jurisdiction of the
United States are important, if not essential, for
the preservation of our commercial rights, and
the peace of the world. Should they, however,
be obtained, it will tc in no grasping spirit but
in = manner consistcns the strictcst national
faith.
Foreign affairs, he stated, viii be marked by
Just and pacific views and he rc-atlirms the
Monroe doctrine in the strongest terms.
Relative to official appointments, he says, that
the Administration cannot be expected TO retain
any persons in their official positions who arc
laboring under the influence Of political hostility
and partisan prejudice to it, when it should cN-
pcct cordial corporation Eaving no engage
ments to railv. no rewards to bc>tow, no resent
mcnt to remember, no personal wishes to con-
suit, he will be governed i'll his selections by no
motive that does not contemplate the efficient
discharge of the duties to be performed, and the
best interest of the country, requiring in every
instance integrity and capacity to prevent pecu-
la;ion.
He considers the preservation of the Union
az the grand point, dear to every American heart.
Blot out one star and the whole will he dimmcd.
He believes that involuntary scryiludc, as it
exists, is recognised by The constitution, that it
stands like any other admitted light, and that
States where it exists are entitled to efficient
remedies to cnfrrce all constitutional provisions
He approves of the Compromise measures,
and says that they are strictly constitutional, and
to be unhcsitatngy carried into effect. He
hopes, however, that the question is at rest, and
that no sectional or ambitious or fana,ical oX-
element may again threaten the durability Of
our institutions.

The Recant Election.

THE precise number of votes received by each
candidate in the Fourth Congressional District, hns
not been officially declared as Yet. The result ia
however we'll known. Capt. P S. Brooks, oi
EdgcGel, is about six hundred votes ahead Of every
other competitor. Col. PIcxENs is next. Then
comes Mr.. SULLIVAN of Laurcns, and after him
Capt. ]. FOSTER MARSHALL of Abbevillc.
To the membcr-elcct we extend our congratulations
We for another gentleman It is true but this
does not prevent us now from wishing for the Hon.
p. S. Brooks brilliant and useful career.
As to Col. PIcKENs we do not know whether his
friends have really any sufficient cause to be mortified
at the result TO those Of them who are sowe would
say keep quicit is useless to exhibit ill-emper
on an occasion Of the kind-besdes it is in bad taste
and is apt 10 prove injurious to the cause in which
your feelings are enlisted. 1t has been 70 already and
will be 50 again.
As TO Col. p himself, we are very sure that he has
no cause for modification. Nor do We believe that
he feels any. From the beginning to the end of the
matter he has had no desire to go Congress Five
weeks before the election he positively declined lie
there thought the matter Mt an end and WAS
greatly relieved by having extricatcd himself las he
thought, completely from the unpleasant position.
His reannouncement was urged by many friends OF
his old Congressional District. lie that they
were deeply solicous about the matter. lie yet did
not reply 10 their demands The thing was continued
until he felt that ii was but the path Of duty to suffer
those dcsrous of doing 10 use his name. Re-an.
nonnced in this manner, he again known TO be n
candidate only two weeks before The election. He
did not stir from his home to attend single gathering
of any kind Nor do we believe that dozen private
electioneerng letters written in his behalf. He
was run upon public grounds, and it was believed by
his friends that the people, viewing the matter in this
light, would elect him But the people thought pro-
per look upon it in this light, except 10 some
extent in Abbevie and Edgefield, and consequently
(as might have been expected under these circum.
s,ances) he stood no chance before them. Still, al
though left far behind by Capt. Brooks in the Dis
lricts of Laurens, Newbcrry and Lexington, he was
several hundred votes ahead Of any other gentleman
in the Old Congressional Disrict-Wc drop these
remarks that the true character of this race may be
understood and we close them by expressing the hope
that all may find cause in the future to be satisfied
with the result.
