SAVANNAH AND CHARLESTON RAuRoAp.-The re-
cent change Of hands has infused some energy
active preparations to rebuild tho entire route.
Whom tho war closed tho managers found thom-
selves In deplorable condition. their bridges we're
burnt, the track torn up, and tho entire road rem
dered useless. Repairs were Immediately COM
menced, and after many months tho road was
placed in running order as far as Salkahatchie It
is now proposed to complete the route to tho Sn-
Hnnnah River. This will necessitate the grading
md reaying the track for 40 miles, and construct
ing new bridge over the salkalatchie, besidos
furnishing $4,000 feet OF double trestling. The

be long ere Charleston and Savannah will be again
reunited by iron bands which will never we trust,
be destroyed by apother war.
