points to Orangeburg, the present ter
minus of the South Carolina Railroad To-
Charleston.
The president OF the road, W. j.
Masfath, ESQ, leaves on the Alhaurbrs
to- day for New York, to endeavor to
make some arrangements for iron to-
complete tie Augusta branch. 1t can
only be accomplished through Northern
capital and Northern merchants, to
whom the completion Ofthis road will
be of inostimable value in. the large sup
plies of cotton that will be brought at
once to this market and shipped to New
York. The management, however,
must complete the Augusta branch,
either by Northern or foreign capital,
as it will be rs much as they can do to
finish the Columbia branch. If North
ern capitalists will aid in this work, the
cotton trade will speedily reviver in
something like its former grandeur,
The South Carolina Railroad has al.
ways been favorite stock. The planters
in that portion of the country are will.
ing and anxious to sell. but the Difficult.
ty has been to get it to market. a
number of young men out Of employ
ment have directed their attention to
this matter and are engaged as wagon
ers, bringing in five and six bales of cot.
ton at each trip to Orangeburg, and
then selling it at a margin between the
| interior prices and the market price in
Charleston. 1t is to be hoped that they
will continue in this laudable enterprise
and bring some of the cotton now locked
up in the interior to our market.
