AUGUSTA AND COLUMBIA RAII, ROAD.


Mn. EDroE: have read, with no little plea

Augusta, Georgia, in regard to the railroad con-
9ncction which must be made between that place.

scause the travelling community demand it, and|
athey will have it. But if it is deferred too long,

As Carolinian, wish well to every part of
Smy native State, and have witnessed with sincere
regret the losses which it has sustained by delays
5to commence improvement, which, if commenced
) with spirit and carried on with confidence, might
shave been prevented. If freight does not more
sthan wear, tare and expenses, we should certain
sly encourage travellers to leave little on the
sway as they pass through in return for the large
amount that our own citizens annually contrib
sute, North and East of us, to their railroad and
aother internal improvements. Georgia does not
want our help, yet would not refuse, while help
ing to build their roads for the benefit Of Angus.

outlet for cotton from Georgia, by the way of

The President of the Charlotte and Columbia
Railroad has proved and continues to show his
i gclam to entire confidence, as well of the public
as the stockholders, and should have every en-
+ scouragement and support in completing the con.
anection between this city and Augusta, which,
will be soon followed by that Of Danville and
Gollsboro, for this middle route; while the
: North Eastern Railroad, connecting the Whining
: ton and Manchester Road with Charleston, will
shorten the distance to all who would visit her,

lhis way between Savannah and Macon, Georgia.

for the double daily line between Columbia and
AWeldon-no extra charge being made for omni-
{ bus fare, which renders it close connection.

Twenty or thirty miles, going North from Colum-
