Steam Mill Burned.

we regret very much to record the burn
ing, on Wednesday last, Of Mr.. George
Sineiair's, steam saw, grist and -four mills,
situated six miles East of this place. The
fire was wholly accidental. 1t occurred
near midday, and the wind blowing very
hard. the flames spread with such rapidity
that but little Of value could be got out
of the building. The loss Is serious
one to the proprietor. vnriomsly estimated
at from five to eight thousand dollars. it
may also in one sense be looked upon rs
public calamity, this mill having been a
source of commodation and convenience
to a large nurber of patrons.
Mr.. Sinclair has been n resident Of the
District but a few years, yet by his habits
of honest industry, strict attention to his
duties and his courteous and gentIemanly
dealing with his patrons, he has secured a
large number Of friends, who deeply re-

hope that the entire community will ex
tend him that encouragement and assis.

Almost general Fight in Congress

We publish elsewhere detailed account
Of the late disgraceful scene of disorder in
the House Of Representatives, arising out
Of the very abusive speech of Mr. Lovejoy,
Of Illinois, in which he characterized all
Shareholders as being, if possible, worse
than thieves, murderers, &c. Every one,
while deploring 30 unbecoming scene in
the halls of our National Legislature, will
read this account with exciting interest. 1t
could not be expected that Southern mem.
bers could sit quietly by and listen to such
vile epithets against their constituents and
the domestic institutions of the South, as
came from the lips of Mr.. Lovejoy. For
bearance under such circums tances would
not have been virtue, and the fault Of II
disturbance SO we'll calculated to reflect
disgrace upon our Federal Legislature, rests
not with them, but with the foul moulhed
sIanderer who occupied the floor pnd the
Chair who permitted him to proceed in his
strain Of invective abuse.

The Railroad Discussion.

We continue to republish from neigh
boring exchanges, articles expressing vari.
Gus and sometimes conflicting opinions, up
on the subject Of railroad connection With
Lancaster.
in this issue, is an article from the Cam
den Journal, wherein meeting is propo.
sed to confer upon the matter Of a 70 nd
from Camden to Lancaster. We hope to
record soon that tine suggestion of the Jour
pal hns met the earnest appreciation Of the
people of that vicinity.
Also one from the Darlington Flag upon
the subject Of the BishopvIle route. This
Is the frst voics that we have heard from
Darlington.
Last week We copied an article contribu-
ted to the Sumter Watchman, in which :he
construction Of road from Georgetown
TO Lancaster. was advocated. These sug.
gestions coming from various quarters. i'm.
part general interest to the grand object
which we have in view, and hence we give
them the benefit of our circulation. 1t is
OF course not expected that we endorse all
OF them. Lancaster is not particularly in.
terested In railroad to Georgetown j,
would probably not pay us to invest much
IN such an enterprise. Our point Is Char-
lesion but if in going to Charleston, we
likewise accomplish a direct communica.
tion with Georgetown, without any add.
tional effort or expense, we will certainly
not object to the arrangement. The pros
Pect of daily communication with two
sea.ports, instead of one. in our Judgment
materially enhances the importance of the
subject and the accomplishment of this
is by no means wholly unlikely, as we will
proceed TO show:
The people of Georgetown have 10 pro.
lection a road that is TO connect the port OF
Georgetown with the North Eastern road
We learn from the last jssue of the Char
lesion Mercury, that recently they baye had
the route surveyed. Two lines have been
suryeyed-one connecting With the North
Eastern Road ut Cads's Depot, nine miles
above Kingstree the other connecting at
Graham's II Roads. sixteen miles aboys
Kingstres. The distance by the former
route, is forty.one milss--by the latter. for
ty-six miles.

Now, should it be determined that con-
nection with the North Eastern road, via
BishoPvlle, is the proper direction for US.
We will also, it is likely, connect n, one of
the two points selected for the Georgetown
road-m"st probably at Graham's x Roads.
Graham's y Roads, so far as we are able
to judge with the aid of Map before US,
is on direct line from Lancaster c. H., to
Georgetown. The distance from Lancas-
ter Z. H., to Graham's - Roads, on an air
line, will not exceed eighty miles, which
added TO fcrly-six, makes the whole dis
tance from Lancaster to Georgetown, l26
miles.
The advantages, upon all sides. Of n con.
nectlon of the two roads at the same point,
are too obvious to require further explana-
ton and we hope that our accomplished
friend OF the Pee Dee Times will present

are, and we hope they will give it their
consideration.
