THIS is the name of JOHN MIrcHEL's paper, Just

prictor and Editor. All know him The Irish Patriot
who recently escaped captivity and few upon eagles

appears to our fancy noble fellow. We admire his

thinker, and an independent Irshman. lie sees the
institution of slavery especially through the clear optics
Of Truth and Imparality. 1t occurs to him as being
no monstrosy, but necessary institution--no evil,
but real good, socially and politically He adopts
and expresses this opinion, not like caterer to any
section or an eccentric seeker after odd notions, but
like man of innate candour and consummate COM
mon sense. MIrcHEL's paper richly deserves very
large amount of Southern support His letter in re.
DIV 10 Preacher BEEcuER is q gem. We thought to
have presented it in our columns before this, but have
not done go ; perhaps shall yet. Mitchell is
racv and spirited writer. The Citizen, it is clear

ded with courtesy of expression. In short its editor
being an Irish gentleman and its patrons being already
counted by thousands it cannot fail TO become one OF
the strongest Presses in the country.

Mr. EDIToR,-Upon the subject Of Rail Roads,
the Abbcvic Banner of the 2nd instant, has the
following editorial on the amended Charter of the
Greenvillc and Columbia Rail Road Company grant
cd by the Legislature at its last Session.
The Editor says, The most important privilege
granted is evidently that which empowers said COM
pany to construct, az soon aa practicable, branch
of their Road from Greenpood ~ Aiken, or some
other point near that town."
Now, Mr.. EDITOR, like fair play in every thing.
Rail Roads as well as any thing else; if the town of
Greenwood has claims superior to any other point,
west of Saluda River, be it so. We have seen that
city and know it to be great place, and we have
no doubt, from the known liberality of many Of her
citizens, the claims of the proposed Rail Road will
not suffer for the want of funds towards its COM
ple,ion. We are among those, MIR. EDITOR, who
thought Editors knew every thing. but it seems
they are nothing but men, with like passions unto
ourselves; and arc liable to be mistaken, especially
upon the subject Of Rail Roads
The second Section Of the amended Act, the Ban.
ner to the contrary Notwithstanding, reads as fol-
lows That the said Greenviilc and Columbia Rail
Road Company shall have power to construct and
build branch Of their Road from some point (not
Grcenwood) on the main trunk, west of Saluda
River, 10 connect with the South Carolina R. Road
at, or near Akcn;" these, MIR. EDITOR, are the
words Of the Charter And we must confess at first
sight we were somewhat astounded at the remarks
Of the Editor Of the Banner, but upon rcexamina-
tion of his article, and knowing his partially for the
place, we have come deliberately to the conclusion
that he honestly believes Greenwood the only point
on the Grcenvillc and Columbia Rail Road west Of
Saluda River We want the Road built and are
not consequently married to any particular route'
bnt we protest against endcayoring TO control public
opinion in this matter, before the different routes are
surveyed, viz: from Aiken to Greenwood, Ninety
Six, and Dyson's Mills. We have taken the trouble
upon ourselves to ascertain rs near as possible the
distances to the above places, and the result IS as
follows: from Aiken to Greenwood, or rather New
Market, 81 mics--to Ninety-Six, 45 miles, and the
same to Dyson's Mills To run to either of tho
above places the line must run from Aiken by Lofts,
on the Columbia Road, then take the Mathews
Road by Aliens, Strother's II. Mays and Kemps
old place, thence in direct line almost by Albert
Kings and T. W. Carwile's; from thence the line
will turn to the right to go to Dyson's Mills and 10
Ninety Six will continue on the ridge by Jas. Cres-
well's pantation and cross Ninety Six Creek at or
near the mouth of what is called Kate Fower's
b,,n,b nm TINT branch by Dr. Gains to Ninety Six

let and continue the Mathews road from kemps

Saluda side more particularly, are or should feel
deeply interested in the enterprise. We venture
the assertion that there can no better route be found
than on this ridge, no large water courses to cross
pine timber in abundance. Let road be once bull.
and our pncy wood lands will increase in value from
twenty-five to hundred per cent. Men will find
additional employment, surplus hands can be hired

new life and energy will be infused into the minds

Division of Edgefeld,-Wo. III,


LET US next turn our attention to the matter
of Population, by which mean white popula-
ton, since negroes are not represented under
our Constitution, except rs property. | shall
adopt the last State Census as my guide for
the remarks which design making upon this,
branch of the argument in favor of Division
Many, no doubt, will contend that the Federal
and not the State Census, should govern in the
premises, and am myself disposed to think that
the former Is generally more reliable but the
results of the two in sectional point of view do
not vary materially. South Carolina differs from
many OF the States in making her State instead
OF the Federal Census the basis of apporiioning
Representatives of Population in her egisla-
ture, and as we are discussing question per-
tanning to the peculiar local or internal poll
cy OF the State, think it highly proper that we
should have exclusive regard to the State Census.
ln'considering the subject of population, as
relating both to The question of Division and the
basis Of Representation in the State it is desira-
BILE to have some estimate of the number Of per.
aons who are capable of voting at an election in
democratic country like ours, where universal
suffrage is allowed Upon this point the learned
and practical DR.. LIEBER is fuller than any au-
thor with whom am acquainted. But even he
'SS~'oS ~ % - 'SASu iutSlloH ScculS III
doubt whether to say that one in every -four, or
one in every .Ere, of the whole white population,
is entitled to vote. Perhaps there is no rule
universally true, even of different sections in the
sAme State, and whilei may fairly be asserted
shat every fourth inhabitant of the North is ca
pable of exercising The elective franchise, it is
question Of grave doubt, in my mind, whether
more than one in FIVE of the white population at
the South is a " Sovereign" The reason of
this disparity is that marriage is less common at
the North than at the South That Manufac-
lures, Commerce and Navigation are more pur-
sued there, and that most of our foreign emf
grants (who are generally male adultS) settle at
the North where they are speedily invested with
the power of suffrage From various causes
acting with more or less effect in different elec-
tions and upon different localities, numbers who
may vote alcays abstain from using the privilege,
but with this we have nothing to do. After
these preliminary remarks, ] win subjoin copy
Of the last State Census, together with an esti-
mate Of the supposed number of voters in each
election District, obtained BY dividing the whole
white population by five, re ejecting fractions:

out He finds his best critical morse in the two
beautiful verses from the Elcgy which follow:

Save where the hectic wheels his dronng flight,
Or drowsy tinkngs bull the distant folds

a flaw in these singularly simple and truly 'oecal
lines, we will lay wager that the most taste in and
