For the Advertiser.

Editor of the Aduerti..er,-The Presi-
dent of the South Carolina Railroad, in
a communication recently published in
YOUR columns, advocated the building OF
feeders to the long line of Railroads now
in operation.
wish to ask if he is willing to coop
crate in building such Road from Edge
field C. n to Aiken? Ifhe is. could we
not get the approval of those most inter-
ested in submitting to him the following
proposition:
Let Edgefeld G. H. and vicinity, Aiken
and the intermediate country, raise Fifty
Thousand Dollars, apportioned as fol-
lows: Edgeield, $4,000; Aiken, $780,
600; other points, $4,000. This sum TO
be raised and used for grading the Road,
provided the President of the S. G.
Railroad will agree to build thereon the
superstructure, either of wood, or with
iron rails, as the business of the Road
may warrant, and operate the Road.
For this cash investment Of $4,000,
stock or bonds could be issued to the
amount of tho investment.
The people in the country having but
little money, and no negotiable securities
with which to go into the money market
and borrow, they must depend in
great measure upon the large corpora
tions having these facilities, for the de-
velopment of their trade. And the au-
thorities of the South Carolina Railroad
cannot be blind to the fact that the pros
perity of their Road depends upon the
amount of trade contracted in the city OF
Charleston. SAXON.

Fatal railroad Accident.
COLUMBIA, Septe mber l8.

COLUMBIA, Septt mber IL.
A fatal collision took place on the
Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Rail-
road about 20 minutes past 9o'clock yes
terday morning. The scene Of the catas-
trophe was about four and hall miles
above Columbia, whore the down passen
ger tram and the paymsster's train came
INTO ocolhsion. Paymaster William Elliott
Orchard, Of this city, and colored road
hand, named James Archie, were instantly
killed; Roland Williamson, the engineer
of the paymaster's train, was severely
and, it is feared, fatally injured, having
his thigh crushed besides sustaining inter-
nal injuries a little eolored boy, name,l
Sawney, was also badly hurt ana the e1-
press messenger, w. G: Graham, was slight
II wounded The last named was th;s
only person on the passenger train VIII"
was injured, the engineer of that tram
having saved himself by jumping from
the engine second before the COLLISION
Another train was immediately dispatch
ed from this city which brought IN the
dead and wounded and the passengers.
Both engines were q complete wreck, and
the express car was badly smashed.
The accident is explained in this way /:
The pey-train was endeavoring to make
Stocks Turnout, three miles ahead, upon
the presumption that the passenger train
was twenty minutes behind time, as it was
when last heard from at Ridgeway; but
the latter train had made up fifteen min
utes of the lost time, and hence the COLI
sion. Both trains were going at the top
of their speed. w. E. Orchard, the pay
master, who was killed, was the son Of W
Il. Orchard, of Columbia, and about twen-
ty-foar years old BE was a young man

The Financial Crash.

= "
: During the last three days ofsthe last
week there was asrogular money panic
throughout Yankeedomi Eoccasioiled by
the snspension of Jay Cooke & Co, who
ars charged with an anwise speculation
in certain railroad bonds. But at last sc-
counts the financial storm was about to
subside, and the money market oecom-
ing easy and quiet again.
The New York Herald, ailuding to
the panic amongth "bulls'' and bears
of that city, says:
So far the banks are not affected, ex-
cent one or two, which were closely con-
nected with the operations OF the specu-
latiye BROKERS'. The trust companies
which have failed owe their down fali To
similar causes, and in one case, partialiY
at least, to defalcation. Outside OF these
there have been no failures. The mer,
camille interest is4as safe as in. tue best OF
times. The railroads, except the wild,
cat affairs which were made the basis OF
reckless speculation, are unlnlurea'
Credit generally is unimpaired. Noth,
icg more serious has happened than tue
overthrow of few houses which were
doing notoriously unsafe business. II
was mere financial thunderstorm, pass
ing through Wall street and topping
over some unsafe buildingb but leaving
the substantial houses in as good condi'
ton as before. Already the storm is al.
most past, and theskywill soon be serene
and fair and the atmosphere purer ano
better, if wise counseis prevail. There
is no occasion whatever for general
panic The real business interests OF the
country cannot suffer while the embar'
rassment is confined to the spectators
in worthless railroad bonds and the
gam blers in valueless stocks. twill be
wholesome lesson to all classeso of busi
ness men if the storm is confined to those
who courted it, and when it is over nc
one will regret'that they who sowed the
wind were compelled to reap the whirl

TIE San Francisco Alta, in discussing
the question whether or not gold mining
pays, says:
1t has been asserted that while the gold
product OF 1872 was only twenty millions
Of dollars, there were $4,000 persons
employed in the business, whose wages
alone amounted to S37, 500,0 600 The
incorrectness of these figures has been
shown conclusiyely. There are not more
than $4,000 men employed in gold min
ing, of whom 5000 are Chinese At
S625 year, which is a liberal average,
the wages paid ont would be eighteen
and three-quarter millions of dollars,
and would leave million and a quarter
for other expenses. The profits of gold
mining for 1872 were, therefore, certainly
not great, but in other years there would
be more money made by the business.
It is nevertheless true, MS the Alta Cali
fornia points out, that but for the gold
fever the Pacific coast would never have
been peopled as it has been, and the
enormously great and increasing agricul-
ture Of California would not have been
developed with anything like the rapidity
that has been observed.
