COLUMBIA AND HAMHURG RAlLRoAD-T The
EdScfield ADVERTISER, OF the 3lst uit. aiiud-
ing to this road, says:
There are at present from $50 to 400
hands at work on this road, which forge
VIII be shortly increased to 500. The coli.
tract Tor the bridge over the Congaree at
Columbia has been taken. The LAYING Of
the IRON upon the track will be commenced
abont the LIST Of November next.
Col. Wm. Johnston, the able and widely
SHOWN PRESIDENT OF the road, as also of the
Columbia and Charlotte Road, accompa-
MED by Col. Gardner, Chief Engineer Of
the FORMER, have been lately in ON. midst.
bending their united energies To the fur
thcranco and speedy accomplishment Of
their great work. The high intsgrity and
Known financial ability Of the President
stamp with success any measure with
which he allows his name to lie associated
lie Is plam, practical and earnest, and pos
s''ss'ss III o remarkable degree tho conf
tence OF the entire public. 49,
S"mo time ago, when Col. JollnstOn's
name WAS first associated with the Col,lm-
hia and Hamburg Road, we had occasion
To- cast our eyes over statement of the con-
tiiti"n "f the Charlotte Road. We ascer-
tanned the following facts: The animal in
come ofthe road was about 1900 900, and the
l.tt income, after payment OF all expenses,
si%o, ouo The entire cost Of this road was
abont s2,NN.000; TIE yearly interest On
which Is 100000, leaving $4,000 nett
pr"lit TO the stockholders per annum. Be
SIDES this, when Sherma marched through
Tue country, the Charlotte Road owned
over 900 bales Of cotton, n large number
OF negro slaves, and much other valuable
property.
Ihc Colrnbia and Hamburg Road will
cost, at = close estimate, 81 500, 600; and it
~ reasonable to suppose that a great and
unavoidable thofoughfare from North to
south, as this road must necessarily be.
VIII. prove more remuneratiyc than the,
Charlotte Road.
