several miles in extent the distance is greatly IN

tirely avoided by very little labor.
Again lane is frequently formed by running
fence on both sides Of the road, and sometimes
in such close proximity, US to renderit impossible
for one vehicle 10 pass another. And more thah
this, the brush and rails are thrown over from the

that riding is n desirable recreation, yet certainly
not under the circumstances above referred to, but

penance. Sometimes large timber is ielled across
this species of road.
Now Mr. Editor ;,:ea there exist law requlr-
ing that such n road should be kept free from OBJ

would it not be better for us to have one than
suffer this inconvenience? A highway is not more

which our neighborhood roads are kept. The

evil, one which every neighborhood, rightly band

AN ia1RoRrANT ENTERPRISE.

In times gone-by, We frequently had occasion to
urge the practicabity and the importance Of a
railroad connection between Chester and Newber-
ry, believing that the line would be promptly ex-
tended to some point on the Georgia road, and
eventually become the great thoroughfare Of trav-
ell between the North and South. Saving dis
tance Of ut least $50 miles and passing along
more pleasant and desirable route, such road
could not fail to attract the lions share of public
patronage, and be made the best and safest invest
ment of capital to be found in the State. The
people of Chester were not then ready for the en-
terprise but We earnestly trust that by this time
they have been enabled to appreciate its impor-
tauce and that they are prepared in render to it
hearty and substantial cooperation.
We have been induced to pen the above para
graph, as an introduction to the following from the
Atlanta, Georgia. Republican. A Charter has
been obtained iu that State for the construction of
an airline road from Atlanta to connect with the
Charlotte and s. C.. Railroad; whereupon the
Republican remarks -
"The Charter is good one, and contains all
the power necessary for the construction Of aroad
under the auspices OF the State and on route
unrivaed for connecting together the most wealthy
and populons sections Of our country, and which
when completed will form line of communication
in which millions upon millions of people will feel
and have deep interest; and will embrace the
direct and paramount interests Of at least one-half
million of people to the extent, at least, of fifty
millions of dollars. The amount Of means to be
found in the hands of those directly interested in
this road, is more than equal to one-half the ne
cessary means of its construction. 1.-The entire
line of contemplated road from Atlanta to Chester
s. c., will cost about two million, or perhaps two
million and half of dollars. To say that road
in this age Of railroads. in which so extensive por
tons of our country have so extensive interests
and costing so small O sum compared with the
yearly income of the parties which need it, can
not or will not soon be built, is reproach upon
ourselves. Should Heaven bless the country the
present year, with plentiful crop, this road can
be built and the burden not be felt. Should we
fail to be blessed with such, the first good crop
year will render the completion Of the enterprise
easy and certain"

The favors of our correspondents have crowded

nigh been compelled to vacate the chair-editorial
entirely Our home-readers will not regret it,

on every hand that the people of the district are
fully alive to the Importance of effecting reform
in the rcprehensible mode of electioneerng now
pursued by our candidates for Office. We are as
sured that the zeal of the reformers will not abate

never be equal to the faithful discharge of their
duties. False themselves to the principles which
are most potent in binding men to the service Of
their country. they are and must he false to their
Constituents. The practice "givcs the ic to the
man who pnrsues it: for it is far below and inev-
tably degrades the office to which he aspircs.-
An officer cannot subserve the wrll-being of o
community, when to obtain his position he prac-
tees evils, Il will not say, crimes) destructive to
the general peace and harmony, outraging common
dccency right morals and good order, and degra-
ding TO the public tone and character.
We are continually stirred up to resent prompt
ly any invasion of our rights by Aboltionists, or
by foreign power: and are reminded thata tame
submission to such wrongs is beneath the dignity
of free people-a national disgrace. All right; ;
but why are we allowed to remain at ease with re-
gard to the invasion Of the right of free and un-
trammelled suffrage? Why, ask, is this so? |
know speak truth which will obtain response
from every candid reader, when I say that in
comparison with a corrupt ballot-box and a yenal
people, the evils springing from any and e"ery in
reference with our institutions at home or from
any ndgnity or oppression from abroad, sink in
to utter insignifcance. Here is the reason Of it {:
demagogucs are themselves grossly guilty of this
hanefu trafc, and, knowing that by go doing they
will expose themselves TO light in which they
are ashamed to be viewed, they refuse to point
out the evil and are too cowardly to take position
against it.
Now, fellow citizens of York district let me
ask you-can true patriot conscientiously pro-
mote such men to Office, and thus make them the
guardians of our institutions? A true patriot is
the word means it-a lover Of his country, and
desires its welfare: and all such very we'll know
that the free distribution of Whiskey is not of
the promptngs of such character Then come,
you who love your country, its laws, its rights,
its well-beng its very existence-you who regard
the happiness of your felow-men, the promotion
of religion, or thr direct command of God-stp
boldly for,card not only in 'oord tut in deed and
uih stout heart and by a strong arm suppress this
evil. H..

COL. BROOKS AND SUMNER

In another column the reader will find an alb
stract of the remarkable debate in the Senate,
last week, on the Kansas question; and in the
letter CT our correspondent, full account Of the
severe cnstigation inflicted upon the notorious
Massachusetts, Senator, by our representative,
Col. Preston 8. Brooks.
Such events, entirely unprecedented in the an
mails Of our legislation, furnish ample cause, not
only for serious reflection, but, for the most pro-
found regret. Surely, it is sad thing for our
our country, when the Senate-hall, the citadel Of
all that is good and conservative in our councils,
is made the theatre for the exhibition of the most
loathsome and degraded traits CT character, aud
for harrangues, fanatical, vulgar, insulting, and
in very near keeping with the Vilest ribaldry let
loose from the crowded thorough fares of Billings
gate. And it is even more to be regretted that it
has become necessary for the defenders of the
South to throw aside argument and sound reason,
the weapons of honorable, high-ninded combat
and to resort in their stead TO the argument Of the
cos7-hids, in a7enging insult and protecting their
own and the honor of those whom they represent
While we thus express deep sense of mortifca-
ton because CT such au imperative necessity, We
must not be understood to reflect un1ayorably up
on tie course Of our representative. If ever q
hgh-minded man can be justified in prompt
y resentirg insult and injury, surely Col. Brooks
will receive from the people OF his own State, at
least, the need of most cordial approval. No
better or more gallant man could have been selec-
ted to begin the argument and because he has
thus begun it so thoroughly, We give him au un-
stinted comlneuiation. Well duhe.
1t will be seen that large mass meetings have
been held iu Boston and other towns Of Mussachu-
setts, expressing suitable degree Of indignation
at the COW. hiding Of their Senator On the 9TH
er hand, We are gratifed to learn that enthusas-
tic meetings have been held in Columbia, Charles
ton and Newberry, and At other points, and reso-
lutions adopted and transmitted to Col. Brooks,
commenting his course and assuring him Of the
appreciation und conhdeuee Of his friends at home.
This is right; and We earnestly trust that, along
with others, meeting will be called in iorkVille
to give expression to like sentiments on the part
of the people of our District. The battle wakes
hot and strong and if we expect our champions
to wage it bravely and etfectually, We must be
prompt to lend them q hearty support.

SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.

The first number Of the new series, published
by Mr. BR1rToN and edited by Rev. DR.. THORN
WELL, is on our table 1t comes to US with all the
air of tme.honored and valued friend, and we
cannot well employ terms too extravagant in hail
ing it's appearance and bidding it welcome. The
Typography is good; and the letter-press, compri-
sing oil pages, is made up Of discussions all of
which appear at glance, to be attractive and in
teresting We have made up our mind to care
full perusal of all Of them butnot having yet had
that precious time of leisure we can only indicate
the list of contents: lst. Theory of the Beautiful
q The Six Days of Creation; 8. Laborde's Intro
duction to Physiology 4. Slavery and Freedom; !;
S. The Nebular Hypothesis: G. Works of William
Paley; T. Physical Geography of the Sea: g..
Barnard on American Colleges; 9. Memoir Of DR..
Henry: Critical Notices.
Conducted by thorough going, energetic pub
Usher, and under the editorial control Of one of
the first men in the country, we can confidently
predict for the Southern Quarterly RevieW bril-
liant, successful and eminently useful career. 1t
is in the hands of men who have never yet been
known to falter; and it only needs that discrmi-
mating and appreciative patronage which such
rare combination of talent cannot fail to secure.
We commend it earnestly to the favor of our read
