Tho Blue Ridge Railroad.

The report of the Chief Engineer of the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company, published
with the proceedings Of the late meeting Of
stockholders, gives satisfactory account
Of the condition of the work already done
upon the road. During the long abandon
ment Of the undertaking, the road has suf-
wasting of earthwork long exposed to the
weather; while by the undermining of ma
sonry, the breaking of embankments by
fresheta, and the falling of the roofs Of the
tunnels, but little damage has been done.
A remeasurement Of the work required to
complete the road is being made, and within
few weeks the exact cost of finishing the
line to Clayton and the North Carolina line,
respectively, will be made known.
The grand question now is how to obtain
the money for building the road through
out. This is q subj cot to which the earnest
attention Of the directors has been given,
ii being determined OF the meeting of the
stockholders held last week in this city, to
authorize and require them to execute the
new mortgage bonds to be endorsed by the
State, and to advertise for bids 10 build the
entire road from Walhalla to Knoxville,
payment to be made in the first mortgage
Donds with the endorsement of the State Of
South Carolina. These bonds, to the extent
of $2,000,000, form the available means Of
the company. They are endorsed by this
State, which is fully able to provide for
every dollar of its liabilities, and are o prac-
tical evidence Of the interest which is felt
in the completion of the road. More than
three million Of collars have already been
spenr, this large sum being yalueless to the
State, to the city aud to the stockholders,
until the line is run through to one of its
connecting points.
In their report, which was adopted by
the stockholders, the committee to whom
were referred the reports of the Directors
and Engineer, cay: cit will be seen by
"these reports that tho unfinished work
"hitherto done upon the line of road is in
"an excellent state Of preservation, having
been originally most faithfully done, and

'sstand still. Thc difficulties Of the route
''would have been passed; the mountain
s'region, with the tunnels, the heavy earth
"work, and the e1; ensivc structures, which
"absorb capital, task the patience and test
"thc skill, will be behind US, and from
"thence to meet The line from Knoxville we
"follow route opened by the hand of ma
"ture, which has broken the AlleghaDies
"before us, and given the road clear path
"to The rich valley of East Tennessee.
Now, then, is the time to press the Blue
Ridge Railroad upon the attention of the
great cities of the West. Never before has
the public mind, especially in Cincinnati
and Louisville, been so thoroughly aroused
upon the subject, and no opportunity should
be lost of obtaining the support and assist
ance which are required. President Har-
rison has been indefatigable in his labora;
but he cen do nothing more without money
and men.
