The Board goes to work with hcrcu!ean effort.
It won't be long before Charleston will arise in
the plcnitudc Of her beauty and commercial
strength.
The Board is distinguished for libcrality, cour-
tesy and industry and under its fostering care
Charleston must flourish and extend her limits.
She is destined, we think, in the next decade Of
years to have q population Of not less than l00,-
900 souls
The Board earnestly considers the Importance
of railroad connections between the scaboard,
the mountains and the vast storchouSes, granarics
and emporiums of the great Northwest. Hon.
G. a. Trenholm, and Messrs. Gourdin, Marshall
and others, portrayed the immense benefits to be
derived from the completion Of the Blue Ridge
Road. $1,000, 600 have been paid up and ex-
pended in substantial work, which has suffered
but very little during the war. A million and a
half dollars is all that's needed Tor its completion
We learn that delegation will be sent to the
people of the West 10 confer about the impor-
tance Of pushing the great work forward.
Let the line be completed from Cincinnati and
Louisville to Charleston by the Blue Ridge route,
via Knoxville, Lexington, and Anderson, S. C,
and the rich and tcen,ng treasures gathered from
the fertile and inexhaustible soil of the country
the road traverses, and Which will be poured
down from the divergng lines which radiate at
various sections Of the route, will open up varied
and diverse avenues of trade, that will enrich
the mctropolis and the whole Etate.--.
