Cashier Valley, &c.

Inc following paragraph full of interest
to the people of this section, is taken from
the Grcenyillc Patriot of last week:
" We were gratifed to see our friend, Col.
VIM. Sloan, in Grconyilc the other day. lie
visits us for the purpose OF fornIiug n conncc-
tion, by turnpike roads, between Cashieryalley
andGrcenvillevillaGo Alreal sthorc isn turn
PIKE read From this place to tho North Carolina
line, known asJOncs' Road. The Messrs John
sons on the French Broad, have turnpike
road from the end of Jones' Road to the valley
OF the French Broad. From thatpoint thorcis
good road eight miles up the valley towards
Cashier Four miles of the road over the
Blue Ridge is to be constructed. On the 9th
or side OF tho Ridge there is good road to
Cashier Valley. From Cashier Valley, Col.
Sloan has charter, and will soon commence
cutting road to Tunnel Hill along the
mountain range. When this is completed,
there will be fine road leading from Green
vile Court House, through the Saluda Noun
tains, by C@sar's Head and over the Blue
h'dGc, down into the valley of the French
broad, and thence across the Blue Ridge
again INTO Cashier Valley, and along the
mountain range to Tunnel Hill, in Pickens
District. This will bc about eighty miles
through the most beautiful, romantic, Wild
ana rugged country on the face of the earth.
NO climate IN the world is superior to it
we nave no doubt that whom these roads aro
hn'shcd there will be a great rush of travel
over them i'll tho summer season. From
Hrccnville to Cashier Valley will only be six
~ miles by this road"
And this reminds us of the Importance of
an effort being made at once to have the route
OF the proposed turnpike from Pcndcton to
Cashier Valley surveyed, and report there
OF made before the meeting of tho Icgisla-
tnre. 1t will be useless to 80 before that
body for aid without such report. From
what Col. SLOAN informs US, we have not the
slightest doubt but what the connection be-
tween Grecnyillc and Cashier Valley, as set
forth above, will be made at an early day.
low important is it, then, that tho turnpike
by this place should be completed, tapping,
as it will, the trade and travel of the region
above us at favorable point. a good road
can he made on this route, at small cost
and 1T is all-important that the necessary pre-
l'minary arrangements should be made in
due time. What say the friends of the en-
terprisc at Pcndloton and elsewhere?

Tha Central Amerioa Disaster.

The papers are tecniing with tho partIcu-
lars of the loss of the steamer Central Ameri-
ca, and the great destruction of human life
caused thereby. The account published by
MS last week is substantially correct. The
New York papers give the names of l73 that
were saved, and 4l9 yet missing 1t is the
greatest loss that has occurred for years, the
only parallel to which is cited thus by a Phil
adelphia paper:
The only parallel within our memory is
that of the ship Amphitrite, lost off the coast
of France over twenty-five years ago, with
about eight hundred conyd,ts on board, who
pcrished in a sudden squall, the greater part
of them bong hand-cufled and linked two
and-two with fcttcrs, and Inable to make any
effort to save themselves"
Almost universal regret is expressed at tie
loss of Capt w. l.. HRRMpoN, the comman-
dor of the Central America. He was an ac-
complishod gentleman, and formerly an Off
Ger in the U. S. Navy. An account OF his
exploration of the Amazon, with Lieut.. MAU-
RY, has been admiringt} read, and mado his
name familiar throughout tho scientific and
commercial world. One act of his alone, in
connection with 'he late melancholy disaster,
should embalm his memory in tlc hearts and
affections of tho mothors and daughters of
the land. tits stated as fact that every wo-
man and child OH board tho ill-iate Central
America was saved through his foresight and
superior management, and OF the risk aud
ultimate loss of his own life lie leaves a
wife and lovely daughter.
Collections, TO a considerableamo have
been made, in Norfolk and other cities, for
the benefit of the rescued sufferers.
