South CAROLINA RA1LRoAp.-We are high
ly gratified at being able to announce the
completion of the track-laying Of the above
railroad, yesterday afternoon, and the ar
rival Of the fret passenger train to-day.
(trlday.) This road, it will be remembered,
was almost entirely destroyed, in Februa-
ry, 1868, from Colunlbia to Blackstocks-a
distance Of more than fifty miles. The Of
ticers had innumerable difficulties to con-
tend with, but having gone manfuuy to
work. surmounted them all. The greater
part of the road was relaid with the old
iron. after the ''kink-" were taken out
and how this difficult job could be so sue
cessfully accomplished, is a mystery; for it
really seemed that Shermans men under
~
the bars resembled augers in appearance,
while others again were twined lovingly
around the neighboring trees The mag
niticent iron bridge over the Catawba, we
are Informed, will he completed in wee
or ten days, when passengers can be col
