THE AUGUSTA AND HARTwELL RAILROAD.

We have read the proceedings of meeting hel1
in Augusta last week, concerning the above
named enterprise, with great deal of interest
The Board of Directors met for the purpose Of
comforting with Northern capitalists or rather to
accept certain propositions, as it seems, from
number of gentlemen who are now engaged in
constructing a railroad from Augusta to Port
Royal, in this State At any rate, the result Of
the meeting was the resignation of majority Of
the Board of Directors and the election of the
aforementioned capitalists TO fill the vacancies.
1t is now contemplated to build The road from
Augusta viG Hartwell to the Rabun Gap, inter-
secting at the last named point with the Blue
Ridge Railroad. With the latter completed and
also the Port Royal Road fshished, the new COM
pany would have the shortest and most direct
connection, it is claimed, between the scaboard
md the great West. The scheme is represented
on paper as q most feasible one, and if the ener-
gy, perseverance and resources of these Northern
capitalists come fully up to what is claimed for
them, there is no doubt as to the ultimate compile
ton Of this scheme. 1t would be great compe-
ting line with the roads in this State, including
the Blue Ridge ITSELF unless the latter Road dis.
criminated against it in the matter of freights es-
pecially. But it is far too early to suggest what
might be the case, in the event both Roads are
built At present, we can only indicate the pro.
posed route, and such intentions as are disclosed
by the meeting referred to-
The Augusta and Hartwell Railroad was incor-
porated by the Legislature of Georgialast winter,
and the plan now is to get the charter amended on
the re-assembling of that body next month, so as
to allow the road to pass Hartwell and seek the
Western connection. II is proposed to make a
survey of the route at once and the Chief Engi-
neer of the Port Royal Railroad, who has been
elected to fill the same position in this new corpo
ration, is already engaged in organizing corps
OF engineers to begin the survey, in accordance
with the resolution adopted by the Directors.
Thus far the movement has assumed shape and
consistency, and We may reasonably expect to
hear it mentioned frequently by our friends and
neighbors across the Savannah. Admitting, for
the sake of argument, that the various connections
now reaching towards Louisville, Cincinnati and
Chicago will be made, it is our humble opinion
that the route proposed by our Georgia friends
will have decided advantages, and it may be work
greatly to the injury of our own interests. We
shall watch it with an unusual degree of interest,
and from time to time give such information as
will keep the inhabitants of this section thorough
ly posted as to its progress.

uN1yEas1rY OF SOUTH cARoL1rA.

The report of the Executive Committee Of the
Board of Trustees of this institution has been
published. From this report we learn that when
the present Board Of Trustees took charge of the
University, the buildings were in most deplora-
BILE and dilapidated condition, there being scarcely
one room or dwelling in decent repair, and the
lights il the windows of the students rooms were
almost entirely destroyed. Every attempt to i'm
prove and repair the buildings has been greatly
embarrassed for want of funds, yet nevertheless
they report great improvements, and are continu-
ing the repairs, only doing such as was necessary
to preserve the property. Almost the entire
Faculty was unsettled as to whether they would
remain at their post or abandon their connection
with the institution. and six Professors have re-
signed during the year, leaving only three Of the
old Professors in the Literary department. The
report says that "great difficulty has been expert
enced in finding suitable and competent persons"
to fill the chairs thus vacated "The peculiar cir
cun,sances surrounding the institution requires
special fitness which all persons with scholarly
atainments do not possess" C. D. MELTON, Esq,
gentleman of fine legal attainments and ability,
has been elected Professor in the Law School, and
only two other professors have been elected out Of
the great number of applicants, .'many of whom
are gentlemen of high character and anqueston-
able capacity" About forty students are now in
attendance, and these are said to be very temper
ate and studous set of young men. The Board
is hopeful that, by proper management, this nsti
tuition may be in the future, as it has been in the
past, pride and honor to the State.
Hon. r. w. BARNwELr, in his report as Chair
man of the Faculty, says: sin The present state
of the University, the worst feature is the greatly
diminished number of students in attendance up
on its exercises, not at present exceeding forty.
The principal causes which have effected this un-
happy result are we'll known tothe members of the
Board, and do not seem to me appropriate for dis
cussion in this report. think that by steady per-
severance in the support of the University as
schooh of teaching, prejudices and apprehensions
may be removed, and its sphere of usefulness
greatly and permanently enlarged"

COPY OF WITHDRAWAL OF PROPOSITION.
COLUMBIA. Dec. l1th. ISL

COLUMBIA, Dec. 18th, 1869.
Col. H. P. HAMMETr-Dcar SIR: understand
that your Board does not heartily accord with the
proposition to lease the Grecnville Road, and also
that more favorable propositions than the one 1
submitted could be obtained, in case lease was
deemed advisable.
The proposition made on behalf of myself and
associates WAS made in good faith. after careful
consideration of the whole subject, and as you
must now be satisfied the party represented had
ample means to fulfill all they proposed.
The policy they deemed necessary to make your
Road valuable to the community and profitable to
the lessees, involved the expenditure of not less
than half a million of dollars in excess of the
revenue within two years, and made the most
liberal proposition l can make within the scope of
my authority considered two dollars per share
for the stock its outside value and cannot offer
more.
Without the cordial approval and cooperation
of the present owners and friends of the Road,
our scheme would not be practicable and in view
of the adverse feeling manifested, and the offers
proposed, which we could not accede to. respect
fully ask leave to withdraw my proposition to
lease the Road. Yours &c.,
A. X. MCCLURE.

IMPORTANT TO HousEKEEpERs.

It is matter of prime importance to all house.
keepers to make every useful article about the
house 20 the farthest in service, and contribute to
these articles none are of greater Importance
than nice, clean beds in considering what Is
healthy and comfortable. Now, it is well known
that ancient feathers are not conducive either OF
one or the other, and hence we take great pleasure
in calling attention to the wonderful invention
O simple process makes old feathers better than
new. This is putting the thing in its strongest
light, but we verify believe that "Bailey's Steam
Feather Renovator'' will accomplish this much,
and more too. Having tested its merits fully, and
with the worst kind of old feathers, we are pre-
pared to endorse the fattering testimonials of
prominent citizens in Abbeville and Greenyille.
Besides the thorough cleansing and purifying of
the feathers, we made money by the operation, as
the bulk was increased OF least double. We are
not prepared TO speak as to the permanent effect
of this renovating process, bat we can see no rea-
son to urge against it that will not apply with
equal force to new beds.
Feeling confident that we are comforting favor
upon housekeepers in calling their attention to
this matter; it is with great pleasure that we re-
commend them to give it o trial The patent for
this State is owned by Mr.. PHILIP s. RuTLEDGE,
of Abbeville, who has the highest testimonials
from citizens of that place and Greenvlle, inclu-
ding such gentlemen as Hon. A. BURT, Gen. Nc
GowAN, Judge WARDLAw, Rev. Drs. TURNER and
BUIsr and others. Mr.. RUrLEDGE is anxious to
dispose of the right for Anderson county, and we
think that he offers it very cheap, and at price
that would enable an entcrprisiug mau to make
considerable money, besides rendering good SER
vice to his fellow morals. He will remain in our
village only day or two longer, but can be con-
suited by letter addressed to him at Abbeville
Court House.

MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.

In our last issue was published an appeal from
Mrs. LOUISA McCoRD, President of the South
Carolina Monument Association. AS many of our
readers may not be apprised of the objects and
scope of this organization, we deem it proper to
place before them such information as is compris-
ed in the Constitution now before US. Its prime
object is the building of monument, in the city
Of Columbia, by the women of the State, to the
memory of the South Caroinians who fell in the
service of the Confederacy. All women of this
State may become members by enrolling their
Names and contributing the sum of 25 cents. In
addition TO this method of rasing funds to carry
out the noble design of the Association, it is ex-
the patriotic and generous citizens of the State,
without regard TO sex. The Association was or
ganzed last month, and the movement is hailed
with gratitude in every part of the State. We
observe that Mrs. Judge WHlTNER has been ap-
pointed of the Board of Managers, and MS
committees are to be appointed in every county Of
the State to invite membership and collect funds,
we are gratifed to state that such committee will
shortly be announced for Anderson. We trust
that our women will enter heartily in this sacred
undertaking, and render the membership from
Anderson one of the largest and most effective. 81
The regular annual meeting of the Association
will be held in Columbia, in the month of Novem-
ber, and We fervently hope that ere the FIRST meet
ing of this character is convened, sufficient means
will be secured to place the movement on o firm
and enduring aasis.
