RAILROAD MEETING AT EDdEFIELD @. H.-Tho
Augusta Chronicle tE Sentinel of yesterday says
eve are requested to advise our Edgelold friends
that n railroad meeting will be held next Monday,
juno 4th, sale day, at the Court House. It is
understood that the meeting will be addressed by
JOHNSTON, and other distinguished gentlemen.
The object Of the meeting is the consideration of
the necessity for speedy completion of the
Columbia and Augusta Railroad. This road runs
through Edgoield District fifty miles, and there
arc only two stockholders at present from Edge
field District. We hope our Edgefeld fliends will
sec tho urgent necessity for speedy completion
of this road
'The next fall promises heavy immigration to
the South. The beautiful country which lies con-
tiguous to the village and along the ridge is just
such land which small farmers will want, Heal
thy, well-watered, producing fine vegetables. one
of the finest fruit regions, being seldom injured
| by frost-growing peaches, grapes, apples, cur
! rants, pears, cherries and plums. The soil is
| easily cultivated, brings good crops of cotton,
corn and wheat.
| "But these lands are now cheap because inac-
cessble. The completion Of this road will greatly
enhance their value-bringing all their surplus

ALMOST AN ACCIDENT Savannah Advertiser,
of Monday, says: Con Friday night, just after
the Presbyterian clock had struck ten, the dwell
ers for several blocks in tho vicinity were alarmed
| by terrible crash in the church. Common re-
|
was silent for the remainder Of tho night. Next
morning revealed the extent of the damage. The
rope holding the striking weight of the clock had
become old and worn, and the jar Of striking the
hour caused it gradually to loosen and give way,
till at last it parted, and down came the heavy
weight, crashing through the immediate floors
and ceilings, and carrying everything before it.
till it's further progress was stopped by the solid
stone floor of the vestibule. The weight consists
| of q large and heavy box filed with stones and
| sand. Fortunately the damage done was not ex-
| tensive.
"It is providential that this accident occurred
when it did, while no one WAS about tho church.
Had it happened thirty-six hours later while per-
| sons were about ,ntering the church, it would
certainly have caused the loss OF valuable lives.
"The clock was taken down on Saturday for
necessary repairs and cleaning. While the Trus-
tees have tho matter in hand, we would respect
fully suggest that the east dial is sadly in need Of
| renovation"
