BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

Ne pablish elsewhere the report of o spirited
meeting at Franklin, Macon county, N. c. We
learn that the feeling there and in adjoining coun
ties is enthusiastic in favor of the Road, and that
large and liberal subscriptions of land will be
promptly made. At this meeting large amount
was Immediately subscribed, and committees ap
pointed to canvass the county thoroughly.
To the people of Rabun, Franklin, Cherokee
and jackson counties, we would say that much de-
pends upon their prompt and efficient action. If
they subscribe at once the 100000 acres required,
the effect on the people of this State will result in
the enterprise being secured, and the verk re-
sumed.
The energetic efforts of Gen. ]. W. HARRISON,
President of the Blue Ridge Road, deserve encour-
agement. Under adverse circumstances, with the
country impoverished and the people despondent,
he has set foot this scheme of subscribing land
for the purpose of raising funds TO complete the
Road, and has given close attention to tue further
ance Of the object in view. We learn that the
people of Rabun county were to hold similar
meeting to that Of Franklin on Monday last, and
that Gen. HAR8Iaoa would be present to urge the
proposed scheme.

all landholders along the line to promptly and lib
orally respond to the call of the President and D-
rectors.

DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.

We are gratifcd to learn that several Democratic
clubs have been recently organized in different
sections of the District, and that much enthusiasm
prevails in regard to their formation. The pro-
ceedings at Bolton are published to-day, and also
the second meeting of the Greenwood club, at
which several more negroes united Peadleton
and other localities are moving, and we presume
will report their action whenever properly organ
lied.
The influence of organization has already i'm
proved the condition of affairs throughout the
State, and must yet accomplish great work in re-
deeming the people from the incubus of inactivity,
and dissipating the evil effects of Radicaism among
the unfortunate and deluded negroes. Prompt
and energetic measures will bring about thorough
reaction, even among the oath bound Leaguers.
Let "carry the war into Africa" and make these
graceless scamps, who are seeking to ride into
power on tie shoulders of The ignorant negro, hide
themselves from the indignation of oil law-abiding
and we'll disposed citizens The reign of such
men can las, only for brief season, if We but
yigilant, active and persevering.
