we have seen 1t is an able and truthful defence the

sympathy for Jtack slavery, whilst their poor 'chs

Ebr The Gnmarn .Lo1ll.ndL

MR. EDToR-An impression has gone abroad
that the citizens Of the North Eastern portion Of
Kershaw District are dcsirous of forminga new
District by connecting with portion of Ches-
terfed, Darlington, and Sumter Districts. Such
u change is not desired by majority of the
citizens Of Kcrsi,aw, living within the proposed
boundaries; and think the same may be said
of the citizens of Chesterfield.
see published in your paper that the citizens
of Kerslaw have had two meetings on the sub
cct-thc first at TilIer's Church. on the 2d of
July, and the second at Pleasant Hill Church,
the 18th of August. The meeting at TilIer's
Church, as have understood, was, the people
assembled for Religious worship, and after D-
vine service, meeting was called to take into
consideration the propricly of forming new
District, and few participated in it, and several
resolutions were adopted; and it was published
in your parcr that the citizens of Kershaw agreed
to meet at Pleasant Hill Church on Saturday
before the second Sabbath in August, for the
purpose of eecting delegates, dc. In your num-
Der of the 23I of August, seq published an ac-
couut of the meeting held at Pleasant Hill
Church on the 18th Of August In that ac-
count it is stated that according to previous ap-
puintmcnt, made at Il meeting 1T Tillcr's Church
on the 2d of July, 4 number of the citizens of
kcr<haw District met at Pleasant Hill Church.
&C., &c.
Yes, number, for the number Of lS:) and
according to the best information could oct
only six Of that number wercin favor of the new
District measure; for at that meeting it was
moved and seconded that the vote of the meet
ing be taken as to whether majority was for or
against the new District measure and the chair
man d'cilcd the move as being nnparliamcntarv

termination as to the recommendations they
will essay concerning the project, or whether
they will make any such or not. As far as we
can Judge from the newspaper demonstrations
public opinion Il settling down.in favor of the
Texas route, as running farthest through Il de-
sirable country, as presenting fewer obstacles
to the construction Of railroad, and rs being
very sure to be less subject to impedments to
its free use, from SHOWS and frosts, which must
be more cmbrassing on railroad constructed
through unsettled territory than anywhere east
of the Mississippi in similar latitude. How
ever the set of persons who, for so many years
past have been plundering the people and treas
ury ofthe State of New York. by obtaining
special legislation at Albany, have seized upon
this route, evidently as their own property, and
and ore moving heaven and earth to get up a
combination Of lobby wire-pullers from every
section of the country, to aid them in their en-
terprise Of inducing Congress so to legisiate
upon this question, as to make the proposed
road for their especial benefit. We shall have
high times next winter over this question it
strikes US, wit hout the slightest probability that
the House and Senate will be induced then and
there to initiate the work on government ac-

Another Rail Road Meeting.

An adjourned meeting Of the friends OF the Lancas-
tor Railroad will be held on Wednesday, Tomorrow
The question will then be brought up whether or not
the town shall subscribe towards this enterprise. We
do not propose here to discuss the propricty Of this
measure: it is obvious that something ought to be
done for Camden and we know Of no better plan than
for Camden to do something for ITSELF We cannotsee
that any one who owns real estate in the town can be
injured by this movement. If the value OF property
here has decreased and we cannot doubtt 1t is worth
the effort and the sacrifice, to do something to In
crease the valuation of town property. Suppose each
owner of real estate is assessed ten per cent on his
propcrty that will not make the taxes even then, un.
reasonable. There is no town or city in the State
where the taxes not much larger than in Camden
and yet the people are willing 10 be taxed when it
becomes necessary. 1fit is not necessary non, we
should like some one to tell US when it ever nc
ccssarry. Something must be done. If Camden does
not, will not help ITSELF who ought. to help it?
Itis hardly reasonable to expect that the planters
in the vicinity of Camden, whose interests are below
the town. should feel that ardent burning zeal in the
Lancaster Railroad which are disposed to expect
Of them We only appeal to such upon motives OF
patriotism and pride-tlat some have come forward
nobly to the work and subscribed liberally is to US
gratifying in the highest degree. We think inthis en-
tcprse that all should feel themselves interested and
without urging come up squarely to the mark.
If majority of the real estate owners are in faVoI
of the proposition that the town take Stock then it
should be done-f the majority agree that the interest
of the town would be promoted thereby then it ought
to be DONE 1t is doing no injustice to any one, if by
taxing him upon his property that property is to be
improved and made more valuable. 1t is unfair to ask
those who are willing to labor to do all the work.
We suppose the matter will be fully discussed atthe
meeting, and all the necessary light and information
will be given for the benefit Of all interested.
4 large attendance of the citizens is desired, that
matters may be fully discussed Individual subscrip-
tions have been literally made towards this work. and
we do hope that the enterprise will not be allowed to
fall through because there few opposed to it.
There never was there never will be, any thing start
cd that Vas not or will lot be opposed by some but
that is no part OF reason why the work should be
abandoned but rather reason why the friends OF the
cnterprise should redoube their efforts and 90 on un
til complete success shall crown their efforts

Col. Jos. B. Kershaw being next called Hp-
on, rose, aud in Il very animated strain Of elo-
unence, demonstrated to the satisfaction of the
meeting that the people Of Camden must take
hold of the matter in earnest, and by their sub
scriptions, hold out inducements tiatwll con-
strain the people of Lancaster to consent that
the Rail Road shall be built to Camden instead
of either of the other locations; and was fol-
lowed by Tho. J. Warren and W. Thurlow

MEssRs. EproRs-Why are we always more
ready to blame than to praise, and why IS THAT
we are not equally just nspeaking Of the virtues
= as of the Elilings Of our fellow men: | have
beeu led to these reflections 10y hearing OF the
presence of mind evinced by an Engineer on the
GrecnviIe Railroad last week, by which fear
ful accident was prevented.
/. lie up Train was slowly ascending the heavy
grade near Ncwberry when the Piston Of the
Locomotive srllenly snapped in two, the short
end revoked around with fearful rapility, and
the Train .Jashing on with awful speed, was ap-
preaching high trcstle; ut this moment both
fremen Jumped off, had the Engineer done like
wise, sudden and shocking death might have
: been the fate of the passengers. Notwthstand-
ing the danger, the Engineer remained at his
{ post, and with admirable presence of mind, shut
2uff the steam, so that the Train was gradually
) stopped. Such man deserves well of his fe-
low cilzens and especially Of the Company by
whomhe is employed. Ills name has not reach
ed us, but it deserves to be known and respected
wheever.th the names of the wretched Comstock
/ and Putnam are execrated.
Engineers of all other men should be sober,
intelligent and respectable citizens, men whose
lives aTC Ci Sull!c value W QlSlHSSlNCo tItiu W
! their country. They should be eceN paid, other
! wse such men will not be found to occupy this
post Of responsibility and danger, and it will fall
into the hands Of those who are as reckless OF
Their own lives as of those of the public. A
Z small additional fee for eve,y safe trip, would
also have a wonderful effect in promoting care
any caution.
/ was much pleased during recent trip to
Charleston with the management of the Laurens
Railroad, besides running with admirable smooth
ness aud regularity, We found the gentlemanly
! Conductor, Mr.. Jones, was always at his post
/. and attending to his duty The Train never
stopped or started but by hissignal: the whistle
always sounded whenever passing through a
deep cut or turning curve, as warning; and
he really seemed to think that his business there
was to attend to the running Of the Train, in
. stead of carrying on long conversations with the
passengers. Coming up, understand that the
Engineer then on the Road, would never run a
. Train without man on the Engue to look out !
That is TIE man tor:us, and when our road is in
operation, hope the Company will remember
the name Of the Engineer-Purse--he will pro-
badly save them the price of Locomotive the
first six months.
Such men should lie valued and respected by
the community, for the lives Of many are in their
hands. JUSTICE.
