So that by an expenditure Of four hundred and
twenty Thousand dollars, to be raised by taxation
in three years, this great enterp $50 would be
secured. The State would have ample security
for her guaranty. A first mortgage on the
road thus eligibly located, costing H,5O0,00' =,
with debt Of only three millions"
In view OF the great commercial importance
OF the Blue Ridge Railroad to all sections ofthe
State, and OF the large amount OF its stock that
the State already holds, recommend that your
honorable bodies will take into your earnest
consideration the expediency Of furnishing the
company such timely aid as will secure its
speedy completion.
The Blue Ridge Railroad when completed viii
give us direct connection, upon the shortest
line, with the great West, with all its ine1haust-
ible supplies Of pork, beef, corn and wheat, and
will thus cheaper many of the necessaries
Of life to our people, and at the same time
furnish valuable outlet for our products. The
city of Charleston is the nearest Of oil the At
lantic ports to the great States Of the West,
and by the construction of this road the wealth
of that imperial region will be poured into her
lap.
She may then cast of her widows weeds and
become again the 'sQueen City Of the South"
I will hereafter submit, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, a.plan Of State aid
for this road, differing somewhat from that set
forth by ts president, based upon the propo-
sails OF the most competent railroad men.

rolina there are four millions 100000 Of
acres Of land improved, while there ore nearly
twelve millions (12 0O0, ,000) Of acres unimprov-
ed. The recent discovery Of vast beds OF phos
phates of lime on the banks OF the Ashley,
near Charleston, will enable us to enrich our
worn out lands With that most valuable fertitl-
zcr at comparatively small cost. Large
shipments OF this fertilizer are now being made
from Charleston to Northern ports, and whlch
might be manufactured hero, and sold cheaply
to enrich the poor lands Of our own State.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
invite your attention to .section g.. Article
10, of the Constitution, which directs the Gen.
eral Assembly to provide for the establishment
OF an Agricultural College, upon the basis set
forth in an act Of Congress ofJuly 2, 1867, pro-
viding for the endowment OF Agricul-
tural Colleges in the several States. The
act provides that each State and Territory
shall receive thirty thousand 10000 acres OF
public land scrip for each Senator and Repre-
sentative that it may have in Congress. Under
its provisions South Carolina will be entitled
to eleven hundred and ndtwenty-fve pieces (l125l
Of 160 acres each, representing one hundred
and eighty thousand (160, ,000) acres OF public
land, worth in the market at present about one
dollar per acre, or one hundred and eighty
thousand 180,000) dollars.
This scrip may be located In any State or
16IIltOIJ uafAn6 puDAO tphao oeA1gSSs SN~S3
at one dollar and twenty-five cents Isl 25) per
acre. The act also provides that the money
arising from the sale Of such scrip 'shall be
Invested by the State'in public stocks, at not
less than five (5) per cent. interest, and the
interest shall be appropriated for the estab-
lshment OF at least one college, where the
leading object shall be, without excluding scien-
tific and classical studies, or military tactics,
to teach such branches as are related to agr1-
culture and the mechanic arte.'
/ would also invite your attention to the gen.
eral act Of Congress Of 1864, donating five hun
dred thousand (b00, ,000) acres Of public land to
each State in MD of internal improvements.
Other States have, under the authority OF Con,
gross, applied that donation to educational
objects, and suggest that you memorlatlze
Congress to extend the same privilege TO this
State.

original design, 7 recommend that it shall be
repaired and fitted up 20 far as to make 1t ten
| antable for the General Assembly and the Elk
ecutive Department Of the State. The work
should be executed in such substantial and
proper manner that il may be made available
| on the final completion OF the building. For
| this purpose recommend that the General
Assembly will authorize the Executive to ad-
vertise for proposals, with plans and specifica-
tons from architects and builders, to be traps-
mitted by him to the General Assembly for it's
action during the present session.
PENITENTTARy AND JAILs.
invite your attention to the condition OF
the Penitentary .ilding, and recommend
the completion OF the same as soon as the
finances or the State will warrant the requisite
outlay. Under proper regulations and judi
cious management this institution may not
only be rendered self-supporting, but may be-
come source OF revenue to the State.
I would also recommend that you will provide
by law fora thorough gh and regular inspection Of
prisons throughout the Slate. I am satisfied that
great sanitary reform is needed, as their pre-
sent condition makes them the means ofphysi-
cal punishment to offenders, who are confined
within their walls for even brief period The
true design Of imprisonment should be rather
to reform than to punish.
AsYLUais AND ALMs HOUSES.
The calamities OF war have added largely to
the number Of those who must depend upon
the public for the support and assistance that
that unfortunate condition demands. there
fore recommend that you will extend your foa-
tering care to the asylums ana aims houses Of
the State, and that they may be founded and
administered on broad and liberal basis
worthy Of Christian people.
THE. FRKEDMAN's BUREAU.
The assistance rendered by the Bureau Of
Refugees and Freedmen to the people Of this
State, has been most timely and valuable.
While it has cared for large numbers Of deati-
tute poor, who from physical inArmity or other
wise were unable to labor, it has at the same
time made judicious advances OF provisions to
our planters, secured by liens upon their crops,
without which advances thousands OF laborers,
now usefully employed, would be necessarily
idle, and thousands Of acres Of land, now bear
ing abundant crops, would be lying untitled.
It has not only been the chief Organizer Of
labor in tho State, during the past two years
and hall, by supervising the execution Of
equitable contracts between employers and the
employed, enforcing the rights OF both, but it
has inaugurated and sustained q vide
spread system OF schools, that have been
open to al without distinction OF race or color.
AS, however, the civil functions Of the State
are being rapidly resumed, I have informed
Major-Genetal o. o. Howard, Commissioner Of
the Bureau, that it may be dispensed with a5
an institution in this State, immediately after

COUNTY TnEAsuRERs AND AUprroRs.

L
In this connection would recommend that
| theGeneral Assembly will provide by law for
] the creation Of the Offices OF County Treasurer
/ and County Auditor, to be appointed In such
manner as your honorable body shall direct.
| These officers should be placed under ample
bonds Tor the ssfe-keeping and faithful return
| Of all moneys of the. State and County that
| NAV at any time come into tboir possession.
Tho County Auditors will be the clerks Oh the
| several Boards Of County Commissioners, and
| will make mp and audit the accounts between
| the county and the Taxpayers and the State,
| and examine and countersign the necessary
drafts upon the County Treasurers.
| DfvIMoN OF THE COUNTIES.
respectfully recommend that you will pro.
vide at your present session for the division oil
| the larger counties Ut tho State. According to
| the United States census of 1850, South Caro-
| lina has an area Of tweaty -four thousand five
| hundred GA, ,5O0) square miles, with popula-
| tion of seven hundred and three thousand
seven hundred and eight (703, ,70S), or near ff-
| teen (15) persons to the square milo. AS the
| State IS divided into thirty-one (31) counties,
counties is about eight hundred (800) square
miles, while several OF them actually embrace
an area OF more than eighteen hundred (i80O)
square miles. In the present condition of our
public roads, with many OF the streams un-
bridged, and with the few facilities Tor travel
ling possessed by the most Of our people, the
great distance Of the county seat and records,
| from those living upon the border Of one Of
those large counties, entails the most serious
Inconvenience upon them
In view Of the necessity Of q new geographi-
cal subdivision Of the State, article 2, section
8, Of the Constitution, provides 'that the Gene
raj Assembly shall have the power at any time
to organize new counties by changing tne
county ohan be hereafter formed Of less extent
than six hundred and twenty five square miles;
nor shall any existing counties be reduced to
less extent than six hundred and twenty-five
square miles. Each county shall constitute
one election district" suggest that six hun
dred and twenty five t625) square miles, or
area Of any new county that may be hereafter
formed.

New PHASE OF THE GREAT TRANS
CONTINENTAL RAILROAD SrRuGGLE.-The
Salt Lake Telegraph, Brigham Young's
organ thus announces a new phase of
the great struggle between the Union
Pacific and the Central Pacific Railroad
Companies
The Union Pacific Railroad Company
is said to have let the contracts for
grading the line from Humboldt Wells.
The contractors who have been grading
ON Bitter Greek are moving their men
westward, and will commence at an
carly day at Humboldt Wells and build
eastward. This statement gives an en-
,irely new phase to the struggle be-
tween the two companies /; it becomes
interesting. The Eastern company is
evidently entering upon the strategic in
this movement. Tho Central Pacific
Railroad, by commencing at Point Look
out and working westward, doubtless
counted on the Union Pacific working
westward from the mouth Of Weber, and
being obliged to meet them at ZONE
point cast Ol EOlut LOoh-outt IL ssey
were successful in getting further east,
or in the event Of the Central Pacific
being unfortunate, the Union Pacific
would only take some portion Of their
grading west of Point Lookout. The
California representative was justified
in hoping this would settle the building
question but the Eastern representa-
tive appears to have taken a wider
range, and has concluded to take the
apparent advantage GU, Of the hands Of
the gentleman from California. By
building the Union Pacific Railroad
from the west, the subject is now, can
the Central Pacific Company build from
where they are now, to Weber Canyon,
before the Union Pacific Company can
flush their grading in Weber Canyon
and build the route from Humboldt
Wells to the same point? Unless there
is a compromise, one Of the companies
will be beaten and badly hurt. 1t 10
now a fair race, and the winner gets the
Government subsidy and holds the road.
Laborers will be worth something hen
they both get fairly at 1t.
