The Blue Ridge Railroad Again.
@ Anderson MicUi1cncey saws:

ne ANDERSON i"tctH3chcer says:
eve had the pleasure of meeting with
General } W. Harrison yesterday, and we
rejoice to know that no is in good spirits in
respect to the early compilation of the Blue
Ridge railroad Notwithstanding the great
anxiety Of the people OF this section to be
informed OF the exact condition and prospects
of this great enterprise, yet VIC arc satisfied
that it would not be prudent prenaturcly to
disclose thcprcsent programme for its success
full construction. Suffice it to say, that new
friends and capitalists have como to the aid
OF the Company, among whom 1t is more
than gratifying to learn that Charleston is
ably and most cnerseticnlly represented The
patient and untiring devotion of tho Prcs.
dent seems at last about to be rewarded and
the consnmmnton Of present expectations
will be the best guarantee for faiAhfni services

Not a single black skin can be found

has entirely ignored their claims. and great
is the indignation thercat 1t is very odd
that the medicine prescribed for the South is
