in the schedule Of the Charlotte and South Ca
rolna Railroad will, even If il is not 80 design
cd, work serious injury to the trade OF Charles
ton. Both passengers and the mails from your
city are compelled by the change to lie over in
Columbia from four O'Clock in the afternoon to
twelve o'clock the next day. The change,
however, in no way affects the communication
with Augusta. They still connect with the
A. M. train going to Charleston and Augusta,
but fail to connect with the four O'Clock train
as usual from Charleston.
The Governor sent to the SeraJe to-day the
following message, accompanied by numerous
" signed petitions of the citizens Of Columbia
and Lexington:
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBIA, February 8, 1869.
To The Honorable ihe President Of The Senate:
S1n-Tho enclosed memorials Of citizens Of
Columbia, and OF the County OF Lexington, for
the erection of free bridge across the Con-
earee River opposite Columbia, are respect
fully transmitted to your honorable BODY, with
Recommendation that they may be tavorably
considered. The importance OF the means OF
safe and speedy communication between this
CITY AND the surrounding country cannot be
over estimated, and 1t is highly desirable that
they should be provided at as early date as
practicable.
The question as to whether the expenses
connected with the construction of free
bridge across the Congaree should be betrayed
by tho State or the counties more especially
benefited by the improvement, is matter ap-
propriately for your consideration. 1t may
also be q question whether steps should not
be taken to compel the corporators Of the Old
bridge to comply with the requirements OF
their charter, or to surrender the privileges
conferred therein.
Very respectfully,
hOBERT K. SCOTT, Governor.
