The spnrtanburg and AshsvAlle HAIL
road.


We take the following letter upon the sub
ject Of the Spartanburg and AsheYille Railroad
from the columns CT the Columbia Phoen.x
MR. EDITOR noticed in Yesterdays Phoe-
nix short communications, signed ssCSlum-
bia," written In the interest OF q bill nov be-
fore the Legislature, to furnish aid in Extend
ing the Spartanburg and Union Railroad to
Asheville, North Carolina. Tho proptsition
made by the friends Of this road is certainly
most reasonable and generous, aud should
command the serious consideration OF th1 Cen
eral Assembly. This company proposes to
"show their faith by their works., inaamuch
as they do not ask the State to lend its bredit
to their road until they make q substantial
demonstration OF good faith and earnesW, by
first occurring individual subscriptions 10 the
amount OF $100, ,0O0 as q capital with which to
commence operations. The Spartanburt and
Union Railroad Company do not desire to
bring the extension Of their road into cbmpe-
tition with any other road in the Stab, but
only aek the General Assembly to consider it
upon its own merits. Ashevile, North Caro-
lima, distant only seventy four miles from spar
tanbur4 COnr rthouse, the present terminus Of
the Spartanburg and Union Railroad, viii most
certainly be reached by railroad {Ompsunica-
tton from the West uiG the French Brobd VAL
ley, in two years, IL not in less time; which
will bring the products OF Tennbssea Ken
tucky and Ohio to a. point almost Oh our doors.
Nof the entire chain Of roads west q AsAeville,
the State OF North Caroline. we ate assured,
has recently appropriated fabulots snrns OF
money in order to reach that pefEt with her
roads from the east, and will thus peSfect an
unbrokon chain of railroads from her sci board
TO the rich and fertile valleys or the great West.
Let not the Legislature overlook the import
The Charleston daily news. [volume] (Charleston, S.C.) 1865-1873, 1869-02-09

ant fact that Charleston ia, by many miles,
nearer to Asheville than is any harbor on the
coast Of North Carolina, and that by giving
the spartanbure and Union Railroad Company
the aid they ask, and enabling them to extend
their road to its natural terminus, the billions
Of produce, naturally seeking the nearest and
cheapest outlet, would be shipped uid Spartan
burg, and Columbia to Charleston.
It is now thought that tho Wilmington and
Rutherford Railroad, for the completion Of
which the State of North Carolina has sub
soribed $4oOo,00l. will pass the Blue Ridge at
Butt Mountain Gap-the point at which the
Spartanburg and Union Railroad Company con-
template crossing also. Should this be true
1t might be agreeable on the part Of the two
respectively fostered and encouraged, to unite
their strength, and thus, at o much earlier
day effect the desired connection. Assuming,
however, that the Spartanburg and Union
is but fair to presume that If the General As
sembly grants the assistance asked for in the
bill the work will be speedily accomplished.
Ihers ls only O. distance of eleven and one
tanburg to Asheviile that can be called noun
famous, and the most competent engineers
have estimated that the maximum grade on
this division will not exceed sixty-three feet
per mile. The work on all other parts Of the
road will be comparatively light, running the
entire distance through country that fur
nshes, at hand, all the wood, stone. &c., re-
quired to construct the road. When we re-
member that this road passes through o coun-
try possessing boundiess, though as yet unde-
veloped. mineral resources; that its compile
stion will give us unbroken communication
with the ..hog and homny"', region Of the
world-the Eden Of America; that it will give
