The Blue Ridge Rail Road.

Mn. EDIToR:-1Iavipg been recently
along portion Of the line of the Blue
Ridge Rail Road. have thought that some
information, in respect to this enterprise,
might be agreeable to your readers espe-
c:ally as a shower bath was administered
to those of us who adhered to the faith, in
certain editorial correspondence last sum.
mer, in the shape Of sage prediction, and
That prediction backed by figures, that
thousands Of years must eapse before the
tunnel in this State would be completed.
After suspension Of operations for
twelve months, the work has been resumed
at that point, and in spite of the inclement
weather of last month, progress of near
sixty feet was made. The contractors arc
making arrangements to use steam power
at'the shafts, which, in few months, will
he sunk to grade, when ton gangs Of hands,
instead of tho two now at work, can be
employed; which force working, as at pres
ent, night and day, will complete the
tunuef in two years after tue shafts are
sunk. r'.
Tho grading on this end OF the limo, is
progressing rapidly; but am sorry to say
The Abbeville banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1847-1869, 1856-03-06

but little is doing at the bridging and tres
tie work however, the contractors. un-
derstand, have commenced work at different
quarrIes, and we may reasonably hope,
soon to hear that this part of the work is
as vigorously prosecuted us any other.
Judge FRosT was on the line, and man.
ifestcd much interest i'll the enterprise. l
have no doubt he will spare no pains to press
the work forward to Il speedy completion.
For some reason, he witlllolds that part of
the line in North Carolina and Tennessee,
where it is understood much heavy work is
to be done. The Judge is wide awake to
the trust confided in him, will certainly
make first rate President, and be able,
when required by proper authorities, to give
satisfactory explanation of his course.
The contractors are shrewd, cntcrprizing,
intelligent men, Northern men, it is true,
but, as | have been informed, entertaining
no opinions hostile to the institutions of the
South. 1t is certain that they do not med
die with our politics, but contne themselves
diligently to their own business. So long
as they continue thus to act, insist it is
the duty of our citizens to throw no obsta-
cles in their way, but give to them the help
ing hand and encouraging word.
There seems to be still some difficulties,
or misunderstanding, between the contract
ors and Blue Ridge Company, but (as was
stated to me by member of their COM
pany,) the former have proposed to arbitratc
all matters at issue between them. The
proposition seems fair, and it is to be hoped
will be acccdcd to, and an early and salts
f;,ctory adjustment made.
Nothing great is accomplished without
toll and difficulty, and this enterprise is no
exception to the rule. In lis prosecution,
nevertheless, South Carolina is and should
DC i'll earnest. She wishes the work to be
completed speedily, not to PcndIcton, nor
Walhalla, nor Tunnel Hill, but from An
derson to Knoxville. She wishes to reach
the great valley Of the West, "and taste
the fruits of an industry enriched by inter
course with it," for this, mainly, she has
embarked in the enterprise, and it is of
vital Importance to our commercial and in
dustrial interests, that she allow no ordinary
obstacle to impede its progress.
That we may soon hear the snort of the
great Iron Horse, as he bursts through our
mountain barriers, laden with the rich com
mercc OF the far West. and the bright Wis
ions of the immortal UAYNE be realized ut
IN earl day, is the sincere wish Of
