An Important Work.

The experience of thetlas few years has
demonstrated the fact that in order to OBJ
tain railroads which will be Of real benefit
to the State, we must spend aour, money at
home, and, as thereis noreal antagonism Of
interest and, we trust, no antagonism Of feel
ing between the, up-country and the lower
counties, it should be to the general advan-.
tage SO to arrange new lines that they will
serve as feeders to Charleston, as the re-
| ceiving, shipping and distributing point for
all South Carolina. This city, at all events,
should be alive to the Importance of widen
ing her channels of communication and i'm
proving her connection with the interior;
and while they will be anxious to further the
construction Of any railroad which will de-
velope the section through which it passes
and increase the prosperity of the public,
hss ai'9 Hsiss; 1aslihssaass6 laid for
local purposes, have as an avowed object
the bringing Of trade to their city. In this
connection, the South Carolina Central Ra H.
road should receive the early and favorable
consideration Of our merchants and bust
ness men. 6i si4s4Yt si
This road, which is to run from Sumter
to lGourdin's, where it will connect with the
Northeastern Railroad, will undoubtedly
make valuable tens Of thousands Of acres
which now cannot find q purchaser. The

land will be trebled and quadruplsd as soon
oae the road is'open. Itisnutstrauce, then.
