THE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

The Columbia Pheuix Of yesterday has the
following encouraging paragraph in relation to
the Blue Ridge Railroad
We learn that O full report by Colonel James
p. Low, Chief Engineer OF the Buo Ridge
Railroad, of his recent reconnaissance Of the
line of tho road from Walhalla to the Rabuu
Gap, has been received by General Harrison,
the President of the Company. We are glad
10 learn that the deterioration of the ro id-bed
anu bridges, which it was apprehendcd would
be considerable, from tue long interval
since work was suspended, ID prouounc-
ed comparatively trivial, in consequence
of the substantial character OF the work
originally, aud the statement is officially
made, that the line from Walhaua to Rabun
Gap (the tunnels incluied) can be COM
pleted in twenty months from the time that
operations are resumed. Colonel Lowc pro-
poses at once to commence the resurvey OF tho
line, with an effective force of assistants, and
expects to have the working estimates ready
for the contractors in the early part OF April;
so that thele are reasonable hopes for the COM
pleiion Of the road from Anderson to the Rabun
Gap By the :uonth OF December, 1870. AS
nearly all t.; difficulties on the route to Knox
vile are comprised within this section, and as
the rem Under of it is of easy construction, we
can aft rd to congratulate our readers on tho
early termination Of this work, which will
make South Ca.ollnI the thorough "hfaro, and
Charleston the outlet, OF the immense produc-
tions OF the mighty West.
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-02-04

finished for the greater part Of the way, and is
expected to be completed in two years. Thus
it will be seen that Wilmington and Beaufort,
N, c., are extending their arms to grasp the
rich stores Of the West, and surrounding this
State with channels OF trade intended to draw
off the freight, which of right should come to
our own sea-ports. They propose to profit by
the example of Baltimore, in building the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which has proved
of incalculable advantage to that city. y
Now, let US see how the case stands. The
roads from Asheville, ~ c., to Louisville KY,
are either finished or in course ofconstruc ctlon.
From Spartanburg to Charleston, s. c., the
road is in operation, leaving o Cup OF seventy
four miles to build between Spartanburg, s..
c., and Asheville, n. O., This route has been
surveyed BY one Of the best engineers Of the
country, and estimated to cost, when finished,
s., $3.50 00O But # the Wilmington and Ruther-
ford Road is finished, which now seems o
certainty, there will then remain only thirty
five miles OF road, easy OF construction, to be
built in order to make the connection with the
Northwest. The difference OF distance, in favor
Charleston, s. c., over that via Nashville,
Chattanooga and Atlanta, is one hundred and
ifty.nine miles. As between Louisville and
Nashville, Chattanooga and Allan
to- the difference OF distance in favor OF che
Spartanburg route is one hundred and forty
three miles. AsheyilIe is nearer to Charles
ton By this route than to Beaufort, N. c., by
one hundred and nineteen miles, and nearer
to Charleston than to Wilmington, N. c., by
about thirty-three miles. Besides, Whining
ton is some distance from the ocean.
But the State is not asked to appropriate o
dollar, only to lend her credit to road as it
advances, and is built ready for use. That
such q road, passing through the centre Of the
State, by the capitol to the sea-ports-with it's
various connections ut Asheville, the immense
freiehts 10 store sor it in the West-may not be
able to pay the in, srest on its bonds, we think
too absurd to attempt to rofute.

prove 1t by the order Of that Judge. Ii difficult to under
stand upon what foundation such proposition ross for it
involves tho utter ncgaton the most positive disregard
language which that magistrate has himself used and
which is at least ought by counsel on the other sio
to be held his Justification in this VIII your Ionors
Tor % moment entertain the idea that it the
OF Judge tatt to decide this question in fact yet
decide it in wors you prepared to believe for
one moment that when that representative Of the
Carolina was sitting Judgment this case he intended
to take away the rights OF the South Carolina Railroad,

Interpreted by the other side be transparent with hypocrisy?
May please the Court in his behalf reject the pooston

This effort will cause

could give the order to the jury the subject Of compensation
without affecting the question of right Before Judge oozer,
urged that Judge Pas order for the

question of legal right
Let Judge Patt speak for himself page his opinion

that the petition OF the Columbia Augusta Railroad Com
