Tho Port Royal Railroad.

The Augusta Chronicle Of yesterday says,
that contracts have been executed which
will ensure the completion within the next
twelve months Of the railroad between Au-
gusta and Port Royal. Taylor & Co., Of
New York, are said to have contracted to
build tho road, one hundred and ten miles,
"for the sum Of 500 900, to be paid to
"them in the stock Of the company"
We shall be glad to see the Port Royal
Railroad built if it be done without State
subsidy. It will not be easier to draw
away trade from Charleston to Port Royal
than it has been to take trade from vii.
mington for the benefit of Beaufort, North
Carolina; and the Savannah and Charleston
Road Will certainly be gamer by the COM
pletion Of the new line. We may add, that
if Taylor & Co. can build one hundred
and ten miles Of railroad for $700, 900, or q
little more than $4,000 mile-the stock
being worth not more than par-we should
like to take . few hundred miles more at
the same price.

Tn. state Board or equalization.

Our letters from different parts Of the
State oontain vehement denunciations of the
action Of the State Board Of Equalization in
! raising the assessments of real estate. The
county assessors were on the spot, and may
be safely presumed to have had more trust
worthy information on the subject than
could be obtained by central board sitting
in Columbia. Their assessment should not
have been meddled with, without the grav
est and most serious deliberation. Putting
this and that together, we can only account
for the conduct Of the State Board by sup.
posing that the. total values returned to
them were much less than they expected,
and were therefore run up haphazard to the
desired amount. Governor Scott = who
thinks that he knows as much about the
State as any other man-annouuced that
the taxable property would amount to about
$500, ,OO0,0 900, and 1t must have been dis
gusting in the extreme when the total
returns were found to amount to only $164,-
100000
A correspondent in Walhalls, puts the
whole question in very few words. He
says: " The assessed value Of real estate In
Oconee, has been raised one hundred per
cent, whils in Pickens, where lands are
worth more, tits only raised twenty Ave per
cent. heard q person remark the other
day that il the Radicals wanted ali we had,
juit to say 80, and not whip the devil
around the stump in that manner. This has
ssvsys ber, whls county, and after this IT
WILL BIZ srrEL wHIrsR. Oeonee and Pick
ems both went Democratic in May"
This is the keynote to strike. There is
but one way to get rid Of public extrava-
canoe, high taxation, swarms of county
and township officers, boards Of equsliza-
tion and the like. And that way is to de-
feat Rsdicslism everywhere and upon ell
occasions. This can be done BY showing
that Radicalism in South Carolina il as ruin
ous to the pocket as it Is destructive Of in
dustsy and integrity. -.

Captain Timothy Abbe of Enfield, the oldest in nhabitant" of that town, celebra- ted his 9Oth birthday on Wednesday last. He was born within one hundred rods of where he now lives, three years after the declaration of independence. He has been married 63 years; his wife still lives, and they have had 10 children, 7 living; 34 grandchildren, 27 living; 19 great grand children. His mental faculties are better preserved than the average of men at 75 years His first presidential vote was cast when Thomas Jefferson was the successful candidate, and he has voted in every elec- tlon since. He passed through all the grades of office in the military service, from fourth corporal in the cavalry to the cap- talncy, and the last year before his dis charge served as major. His body is still as straight as when he entered the service. On the farm where he now lives, six fruit bearing apple trees stand, the last of an or ary war;
