yallay Railroad Report.

Ware indebted to Mr. BLAcKwooD oflhe Hamburg
Bank for neat copy Of tins Report, with we'll pre-
pared Map Of the Valley Route attached. it is a
concise paper indicative of the good taste and prac
cal sense Of its author, CheF Engineer F. c. ARMS.
There will be required (if the Depot is located or
the rver) some 1000 feet Of low treste work neal
Hamburg. Gong up from Hamburg the line follow:
the bank. Of the Savannah to the mouth Of Stevens
Greek, distance of miles. "This portion ofthe Road,
saws the report, "w be expensive, the greater par
of the excavations being Of rock &C." The Roat
will then take the ridge between the river and th'
Creek in the direction of Dorn's mines. Eleven miles
Of it will be heavy work The remaining distance t'
the Mines will be comparatively easy Of accom-
pli hment. From DoRN's the line pnrsues nearly
North course to The neighbUrhoOd of LowndesrlIl'
where i, bears slightly to the left to reach the village
of Anderson.
The total length of the experimental line from Ham
burg to.Andsrson C. II. is ninety three and Il hal
miles, But this distance on location can be reduced
to 90 miles. The total cost of The Road Ito be frs
rate in all its pars) put down at 81 27O0O Thi
estimate is made at prices ,chin uhich ii IS confident
ly believed that The Road can be built. To the higl
credit of land owners upon the route, the right o
way almost ,rithout exception, will be given free o
charge.
The line recommended will vary only miles from
an air line The distance between Anderson ant
Charleston by this Road will he % miles shorter thai
by the Greenville e. Columbia Road.
Mr.. ARMS speaks in high terms Of the prospects q
the Valley Roads complete success if economically
built and with sufficient capital

enthusiasm in the cause. 1t may be expected tha
they will again put their shoulders TO the wheels q

Militarv Reform,

THE question seems to be arising as to the propreiy
Of returning the Militia system of South Carolina
From the tone of various newspapers and the respon
Of candidates in different sections of the State, we
gather that the prevalent disposition is abolish ii
almost in toto. The people of this District have not
taken as yet much interest in the matter; but we
rather think they would lean very readily TO some
plan Of amclioraon. 1t does appear TO be rather
useless'and cumbrous piece of police machinery, this
eternal mastering of beats, battaons and regiments
with little or no good results If something less trou.
besome and less awkard could be substituted which
would exhibit the strength of our numbers III case OF
emergency and at the same time NEE, the patrol ne
cesses of the State, it would be received, We think
with very general APPRECIATION 1t ought to be how
ever simple and effective in lis character.
The change which has been brought about in Vir-
gnia dues not seem to have given any great degree
of satisfaction. The Law of 1852, by which it was
made, may he stated in very few words:
Isl All trainings of officers and musters Of compan-
les are abolished.
2ndly Certain commissioners are required to enroll
the names and residence of all persons liable to militia
way 0s uT'c" o"s
bv the Governor whenever occasion shall demand.
This is the substance of Virginias present Militia
System. No tax is required on account of exemption
from duty 1t is this last feature 10 which objection
is principally made. The volunteer service, winch
remains unaltered is thought to he injurously affected
thereby; and it is now urged e1pedent TO assess
tax upon all sound male citizens between the ages OF
eighteen and forty ve partly for the fostering of this
branch of the Military, partly for The liquidation o
expenses incident to the change.
We hope some one will digest good substitute fo'
our existing Militia Laws by the mex, Session of the
Legislature. To be instrumental in relieving the
"dear people" from the present aggravating and use
less system would oe feather in the zap of any one
of our Legislators. We may speak for onrselt at any
rate-he should receive our warmest gratitude.

We are led to these reflections bv seeing Il
petition handed about in behalf of Thomas w.
Kinman, now under sentence of death for negro
sea!ing, TO be hung on The 2Srh inst
The exrcniive should Interfere but seldom.
and then only where the claims 10 mercy are
unqurslunahIr 1t is amazing that 80 LITTLE j.
said in this State under so great an abuse of
this Indispensable element in The due administration
of Justice. In Is Years Of observation. we have
known men pard"ned who Justly deserved the
puniShmrnts annexed 10 their Offences by the
Legislature. Whose cnnvrlinnS cost the State
State thousands nf dollars, thus m king Il mock
cry Of the Jurisprudence and its administration
in South Carolina. II seems that some Of the
jury have recommended Kinman To mercy, hui,
what signifies 'hat. without similrr recon-
mrndalnn from the Judge who tried the case ?
# both The jury and Judge concur in recon-
m"ndai"n, the case is then fairly one for the
Guvrrnnr's consideration. but not Otherwise.
and the Governor who intr-frrps without such
recommendation abuses his power.
But we have no fears of 'ur present able
Cirf Magistrates aciing in any other WAY than

tinuS discharge of his ardnnus du'ics NAV die

There should be something more than farce in
