MIR. EDITOR: herewith hand you, with the
request that you will insort them in your paper,
copy of the resolutions adopted by the Di-
rection of the "Atlsnta and Richmond Air
Line Railway Company" at their recent meet
ing at Charlotte, N. g. 1t will be seen that
thcy cover oil the ground In our favor that
could havo been reasonably expected, as things
now stand, and afford the means Of securing an
affirmative reply to tho long mooted enquiry,

through Anderson County, and by .AnderSon
Court House7" AL work is ordered to be sus-
pended between Gainesville, Ga, and Green
vile, s. O., until thorough and exhaustive sur
veys have been made by Anderson, TO ascertain
accurately whether route that is reasonably
| practicable may be found BY that place.
The equitable obligation of the Company to
construct its road by Anderson is distinctly re-
cognized in the Atlanta resolution, and its dis
position to do so has rot only been constantly
affirmed by the declarations Of its officers, but
its Importance is 80 great and 80 obvious, look
ing to its business interests, that to doubt the
disposition Of the management to build 1t by
Anderson, would be to doubt their common in
telligence. The location and construction of
the road through Anderson County, and BY
Anderson O. H., can be occurred if the people Of
the Town and County wiN do their duty. That
duty consists: 1st. In facilitating by every
means in their power the surveys that have
been ordered to be made, and will be made
very soon, that it may be demonstrated as it
unquestionably can be, that we have route

meaning of the resolution adopted at Atlanta

Town and County subscriptions, and otherwise,
to the construction of the road as will place
them, in that respect, upon an equality with
the people Of other Towns and Counties inter-
estcd in the enterprise. That our people will
do this, no ono who nows them can doubt.
Nay, moro, when their ancient patriotism, in
tclligencc, public spirit and liberality is ap-
peaed to and aroused, they will give such aid,
pecuniary and otherwise, to this great trans
continental railway, as it is designed and des-
tined to be, as will cxtort its location upon
their route-thc charter route-the route NOR

Let our people arouse themselves, and by a

themselves and their posterity.

der To be consistent, every man who called HIM
self member of the Reform party, ought to
have done the same thing, unless he personally
knew that this nominee vas unworthy OF tae
nomination To ascertain his worthiness, was
81 concern Of the County Convention, and not
of the voters, who proposed to be bound by its
action. To be brief, the Reform movement was
q failure. Itdennoralized portion of the Dem
ocratic party, and furnished an excuse for many
to leave its ranks, some of whom may never re-
turn.
1t must be remembered, however, that Mr..
Porter did not say that We are to have no DEM
ocratic party. Whether his remarks are the
entering wedge to On assertion Of that fact, is
another question. If he is to bes understood,
then, little as it may count, this writer is one
who will be found opposed to any such policy.
In his opinion, it needs only one more such
canvass as the last, to recruit the Republican
party by scores and by hundreds, from the
white men of this State. Men Of comprehen::
siye views, and full of hope for the future OF
this whole country, when fanaticism and pas
sion have died away, land they are dying away, J
will refuse to be forbidden to look beyond the
narrow limits of this State, for political help
and cooperation. The need OF this hour Is for
us to stretch out our hands to Democratic
brethren, who, in steadily increasing numbers,
are fighting the battles of the Constitution In
all the States Of this Union. We want to be-
come members of great national organization,
which proposes to administer the Federal Gov
ernment upon safe principles, but which aims
to leave the internal affairs of each State to the
people thereof Let us now take this position,
which experience has shown we ought always
to have occupied. We want to do this, in or
der to save ourselves at home. 1t is as plain
rs day that if we do not look beyond the limits
of our State, in sympathy, as well as for
sympathy, we can expect nothing, and deserve
nothing. The national Democratic party can
better afford to leave us to ourselves, than we
can afford to forego our claims for its co-opera-
ton.
If "fair-minded men" who are not now ae-
ting with the Democracy, are 'our friends, !"
and desire the political salvation of the State,
they will Join us on this ground also; for allsee
that the Republican party has failed to restore
true peace, and to give US good government.
If they will not SO join US, they are not sincere
in the full meaning Of that word; for they
either mean to control the State in their own
party; or at least to control it in their own way.
If another movement for merely local party
is in contemplation, or is ever commenced, to
end in failure, no man can foretell the day OF
our political redemption.
This communication has grown longer than
was intended. The writer hopes to continue in

Are the People of Anderson. 70 Secure
The Air Line Railroad Z

The information placed before our readers
this week, in relation to this great public en-
terprise, demonstrates the necessity of prompt
and vigorous action upon the part of Ander-
son, if we are to reap the benefits of its loca-
ton through this town. The citizens OF the
village have already evinced commendable ac-
tiyity by requesting the Tow, Council to make
q subscription Of Fifty Thousand Dollars TO
the capital stock of the Road; payable in the
bonds of the town, and we are authorized to
say that the question will be submitted to the
legal voters of this town on Tuesday next, as
to whether they will ratify and endorse thesaid
subscription. We have no doubt as to the re-
suit of such election. The town subscription
will be made, and in addition the citizens OF
this place will cheerfully assume their portion
of whatever subscription may be made hereaf-
ter in the name of the County.
. 1t is proposed to bold general meeting OF
citizens on Tuesday, 18th of June, to consider
the propriety of Anderson County making q
subscription to the capital stock Of the Air Line
Railroad. OF course, these subscriptions will
be made. condiionally. Unless the Road pas
ses through the county, and by this town, there
viii be no subscription. The question, then,
for the meeting on Tuesday Of Court week Is
to ascertain whether or not the people 80 much
desire the passage of the Air Line Railroad
through their territory as to be willing to in
struct the County Commissioners to make said
subscription upon these conditions Should
the meeting determine in favor Of the subscrlp-
ton, then the County Commissioners will des-
ignate some convenient day thereafter for the
legal voters to assemble at the respective cleo
ton precincts and cast their ballots Tor or
against subscription. In case a majority de-
clare in favor of subscription, the County Com
missioners will then be authorized, under an
act of the Legislature, to issue bonds of the
County for such an amount as the citizens
agree upon at the approaching meeting. In
lieu of these bonds, the County will receive
certificates of stock in the Railroad for like
amount.
We have been thus particular in stating the
n,odus operandi, in order that every one may be
fully informed as to the contemplated action in
the premises. Unless the people are willing to
pledge their money and means to this project,
as other towns and counties in this State have
already done, there is scarcely any hope of Sc
curing the Road. Thorough apd exhaustive
surveys of the route by Anderson are to be
made at once, and we are fully confident that
promptness and yigilanceupon ourpart, coupled
with material assistance such as has always
been contemplated, viii result in settling this
ve1ed question in the interests of our own peo-
pie, and cause this great highway to traverse
the entire length of Anderson county, radia-
ting prosperity through all its borders.

How to Get, and How to Lose, a Set
OF Teeth.

A BEAUTIFUL belle, whose mother kept
senteel boarding house in New York
city, induced one of hermamma's boarders
to introduce her to first-class fashionable
uptown dentist of his acquaintance, as
she wanted a set of artificial teeth. Her
mamma accompanied her, and directed the
dentist to insert them on heavy gold
plates, in the highest style of the art, with
out regard to expense. On the first visit
the young lady's stumps were extracted,
and soon thereafter she had a mouthful of
gold-plate and pearl artificial teeth, which
added greatly to her natural charms and
acquired graces. But the bill was not paid,
and after a collector had worn out some
shoe-leather and exhausted his patience in
trying to get pay from the mother, the
dentist related the circumstance to his
friend.
One morning the dentist called on the
ladies: after passing few minutes IN gen.
eral conversation, he changed the subject
and talked business.
Mamma, of course, professed to be very
sorry that she was unable to pay the
" doctor" but would certainly do so in a
few days. As he was apparently about to
depart, he casually asked the daughter
how she liked her teeth, and she replied
that they were perfect and pleased her
very much.
"Do they ever slip or pain you?" kindly
asked the doctor.
"Very seldom, DOCTOR" she replied ;
" sometimes they pinch me little, but L
suppose that can't be avoided"
"Oh, yes" said the polite dentist, pull
ing a pair of little nippers from his pocket,
allow me to bend the plates little with
my nippers, and it will not occur agar" !"
at the same time holding out his hand to
receive them. The unsuspecting maiden
pulled them out and handed them to the
"doctor," who instead of nipping them
with his pincers, quietly wrapped them up
in his pocket handkerchief and placed
them in his pocket, and politely but hrmly
told the terrified beauty that when her
mamma paid his bill she could have them,
but not before. As the girl was engaged
to be married to well-to-do young gen.
tleman who had never seen her without
teeth, and who was expected to return to
the city and hand her to the hymenial alter
in a few days, that bill was paid.

Summer Showers.

SUMMER showers frequently overtake
persons and wet them to the skim" it is
then safer to walk steadily and rapidly on,
until the clothes become dry again, than
to stop under shelter and remain there
still until the storm is over. If home is
reached while the clothing is yet wet, take
some hot drink instantly, a pint or more; !;
60 to the kitchen fire, remove every gar
ment, rub the whole body with coarse
towel, or flannel, put on wooden under
clothing, get into bed, wrap up warm, and
take another hot drink; then 90 to sleep,
il at night; if in the daytime, get up in an
hour, dress, and be active the remainder
OF the day. Suppose you sit still, in the
damp clothing: in a few minutes chilIiness
is observed, the, cold strikes in" and
next morning there is a violent cold, or an
attack of pleurisy, or pneumonia, which
if not fatal in week often requires weeks
and months and weary years to get rid of.
The short, sharp rule should be, if the
clothing gets wet, change instantly, or
work or walk actively, briskly, until per
fectly dry.-HaWs Journal Of Health.

Crimes In Dreams.

A WRITER in MdcMiLldn's Magazine has
some highly interesting speculatlons on
the subject of crimes which sleeper
dreams he is committing. He says: Two
esteemed friends have assured me that
their consciences are occasionally awake
in sleep on the other hand, great many
more tell me that their experience entirely
corroborates my own observations FOR
example, an admirable and most Klnu,
hearted lady informs me that she pslmed
off bad sixpence on a beggef, ana chuck'
led at the notion of his disappot,n t,ntment'
A distinguished philanthropist, exercising
for many years high judicial functions,
continually commits forgery, and only re-
grets the act when he learns that he is to
be hanged. A woman, whose life at the
time of her dream was devoted to the In
struction of pauper children, seeing one Of
them make a face at her, doubled him into
the smallest compass, and poked him
through the bars of lions cage. One OF
the most benevolent of men, who shared
not at all in the military enthusiasm OF
his warlike brothers (the late Mr.. Richard
Napier), ran his best friend through the
body, and ever after recalled the extreme
qualification he had experienced on seeing
the point of his sword come out through
the shoulders of his beloved companion.
Other crimes committed in dreams need
not be here recorded, but am persuaded
that if we could but know all the improper
things done by the most proper people in
their sleep with the utmost sdnafr0id and
completely unblushing effrontery, the pic
ture would present a diyerting contrast to
our knowledge of them in their conscious
hours. If the moral sense be not wholly
suppressed in sleep, there is certainly
enough evidence to conclude that it is
only exceptionally active, and $50 far as
yet learn) only in the case of dreams as
suming the character of Nightmares, IN
which the consciousness is far less per-
fectly dormant than in others
