THE CHARLOTTE AND South CAROLINA
RA1LRoAD.-Our friends of the Winnsboro
Ne"s have such 4 pleasant way of compli-
menting the officials of the well-managed
Charlotte Road that, despite the pressure
on our columns, we cannot resist the agree
able temptation of copying the subjoined
notice and adding to it our hearty .Amen
Says the NelDS:
"a treat yet awaits those who have never
visited Augusta by way Of Grantevile, S.
Q. 1t has recently been our pleasure to
do so, and we were delighted with every
thing connected with the ner short line to
the Old Empire, and we advise our
friends who have business in Augusta, or
a small surplus of the needful uninvested,
to try the Columbia and Augusta Road,
and II the sights in the beautiful city do
not repay, then the luxurious coaches, the
polite Capts. Trezevant and Gormley, and
the polished Captain Wolfe, the rich lands,
the romantic scenery, the evidence of pro-
gress and desire for peace, wU
by the way, we picked up the genial
and energetic Superintendent, MIR. Caleb
Bouknight, and had the pleasure of few
words in regard to the great convenience
and success of his new enterprise. He is
a thorough business man, and nrbane to the
last degree
.Much credit is due to Col. Johnston,
and his able staff, for their great energy in
the face of obstacles which not unfre-
qnently seemed insurmountable.
