ment. Without the aid OF the city OF
Charleston, and that to considerable
extent the road will never be completed
to that city and all speculation, without
keeping in view this plain fact, is useless.
As I'VE Understand it, the present overs
of what is now known as the Knoxville
and Charleston Railroad, propose to
complete it so as to connect with any line
guaranteed to be pushed forward from
Charleston. Charleston has the power to
say whether this through line shall be
built, and Charleston has not signi6ed
her willingness to extend the necessary
material aid. Now, what shall we hear
from the Georgia projects?
Per contra, in reply to the last para
graph, the Charleston NeaOs and Courier
gives expression to the views entertained
by their citizens as to the future connec-
ton of Charleston with the Blue Ridge
Railroad. Our people can read and
study for themselves:
1t would have been very easy for the
Mews and Courier to put the Convention
in a good humor by announcing that
Charleston would subscribe literally to
the Blue Ridge Road. This was expected
to be said, we suppose, if not done; but,
knowing the condition and temper of the
Charleston public, we felt it incumbent
upon us to warn the Convention that
Charleston could not give the road any
money worth counting at this time. This
is the plain truth.
That Tennessee should expect South
Carolina to construct the road to the
State line is reasonable enough; but the
Tribune is mistaken in supposing that
Charleston expects the mountain Coun-
ties ito assume all the burden of that
work" The mountain Counties, so far,
have done nothing, while Charleston
has spent million dollars. We expect
them to do something, before Charleston
does more. Is that unreasonable?
We grant that Charleston will be more
benefited than any town along the line of
the road; but to be so benefited as to
make it worth her while to spend large
snm of money, the road must be con-
trolled by Charleston. We cannot afford
to build railroads for the benefit of Sa-
vannah or Norfolk, and no money from
Charleston will go into the Blue Ridge
Railroad unless we have the assurance
that Charleston will get the business
when the road is built. The three quar-
tiers of million dollars that Charleston
invested in the Memphis and Charleston
and Nashville and Chattanooga Railroads
bring her nothing. Such mistake must
not be made twice. There is sel6shness
in this view, of course, but our Knoxville
friends are equally selfish. They say
plainly. that they will seek an outlet in
Georgia, ifSouth Carolina will not furnish
one. This is right enough. South Caro-
lima, on the other hand, wants the West
tern trade, and will get it as best she
can.
We believe that the Blue Ridge road
will be built and that Charleston will be
its terminus. 1t is a project that will al
ways have our support. Bnt Charleston,
we repeat, is not now in position to
build the road. The means are nothere.
Something, however, we can do, and will,
when the time comes.

MEssRs. EDrToRs: Seeing the 10Th OF Oc-
tober appointed for primary elections, and
observing that there is to be but seven Trial
Justices for our County, I would suggest
that the townships, that by this new law
are thrown together, at the time of our pri-
mary election, vote for whom they wish to
have fill that office, and in place of petit
tons send down the result of the peoples
choice for that Office; and furthermore, that
we vote in like manner for County Auditor
and County Treasurer. am satisfied that
any man elected Governor whether Radical
or Democrat, would heed the voice of the
people when thus expressed. If this should
meet the favorable consideration of the
Clubs, let us hear at once and go to work.
A thought or two on another matter, and
i will close have been reading man for
more than fifty years, and never in my past
life have seen anything to compare with
Senator Cochran's proposition in arrogance
and presumption. After branding the Clubs
that have invited him "down and OUT with
Ignorance and lying" he manifests consid-
erable anxiety to be reconciled even with
these ignorant, lying creatures. He steps
over into our lines and says you may take
this man or that man, and let them examine
my course, for it has been too intricate, too
deep, too mysterious and too winding for q
straightforward, honest farmer to under
stand and fully comprehend. "True, O.,
Kingw Democrats of Anderson County,
can't you come together and won't you
stick?
In conclusion, would say to the Senator,
in plain country parlance, Johnny, you
have been misadyised this time" Certainly,
so thinks and writes

The Camden Journal understands that
Judge Mackcy has suggested novel plan
for preventing drunkenness, which is as fol-
lows: Allow every person to sell as much
liquor as he wishes without license or tax;
but require those who wish to drink to
apply for license and to give notice of such
application by publication for one month in
a respectable newspaper, and then, in case
there be no valid objection, to enter into
good and sufficient bond for good behavior,
&C., before the license is granted.

in the style of a hundred years ago. The
chairs, the tables, the delf that sets upon
the worm-eaten dressers, all are old and
worn, but still mighty pleasant to look
at.
Now for short stroll through the Main
Hall. Reaching the centre of the build
ing by the shortest cut, we find ourselves
near the music stand, deserted for the
time by Gilmore's Band, and the rival
potentates of that king of instruments,
the piano, face each other like gladiators
in the grand arena of music 1t is a
sight to watch the faces of the crowd as
this player or that gains some momen-
tary triumph. The player, however, is
lost sight of in the piano. 1t is not a
question of musical skill, but of the
musical excellence of the instrument,
and the players themselves seem COM
pletely oblivious to the mighty concourse
that surrounds them. Now you catch
the grand tones of Chickering; next
the sweet melody of Weber; Decker
and Steck and Steinway all claim youl
attention and admiration, and in the
multitude Of exquisite harmony, youl
judgment is lost, and you hardly know
in whose favor to decide. Watch the
fingers of the players how they fly; thai
ripple of melody comes like the sot
beating of a summer wave upon the
sandy shore; and now it rises and swell'
and breaks like the rolling thunder in
storm, till you almost doubt if the effec
is the work of human hands.

Volume , Of Native Races.

Several times TIE CITIZEN has re.
 ferred to the great work by Hubert H
 Bancroft, the Native Races of the
 Pacific States" For patient research
 and compilation, this work is a marvel
 It has cost its author about twenty
 years of time, including the aid of
 several competent assistants for a number of years. The five volumes embrace 1000 pages of matter printed with plain type on excellent paper. The last volume is devoted to the primitive history of the people who first settled the Pacific coast from the Isthmus of Darien to Alaska-the preceding volumes treating of the wild tribes civilized nations, [" myths and languages" and anti quities" of them. The author does not pretend to be absolutely correct in every particular, but he does claim, and rightfully, too, to have as nearly approached correctness as can be at tained by strict examination and critical comparison of all the books, manuscripts, traditions, &c., bearing upon the subjects. Referring to the primitive history" in volume ,, heI says:
 Closet y connected with the consider ation of tradition and hieroglyphic rec ords as authorities for my present sub-l jcct, Is that of the Spanish and native writers through whom for the mostl part American traditions, both hiero- glyphically recorded and orally trans
 mitted-in fact, what was known toI the natives at the Conquest of their own past hlstory-are made known to the modern student. These werei Catholic missionaries and their con-
 vertS, numerous, jealous, and as class
 honest writers. Through an excess of fanatic zeal they had caused at the
 first lrreparable harm by destroying the native records, but later they seem to have realized toa certain extent theirl error, and to have dene all in their power to repair its consequences by zealously collecting such fragments of historical knowledge as had been pre- served among the people. Their
 works have passed the test of severe criticism, and the defects of each haveI been fairly pointed out, exaggerated,
 or defended, according to the spirit of the critic; but the agreement of the different works in general outline, and even their differences in detail and their petty blunders, show that in
 their efforts to record all that could be ascertained of the history of the New World and the institutions of its peo- pie, their leading motive was the dis
 covery of the truth, although they were swayed like other writers of their time, and all other times, by the spirit of the age, and by various religious. : political, and personal preiudices.

The Herald of March ,, says:
 Mr. James 4. Tays, who has just returned from the Globe Mining Dis
 trict, Arizona, reports having found
 the remains of murdered man near Reads Crossing of the Gila, which is about twelve miles below the Bridge or Clifton Crossing. The body was so mutilated by wild animals as to render a description of the deceased impossible. The skull back of the left ear, was broken. The fresh appearance of the brain leads MT. Tays to the belief that the murder is of a recent date. MT Tays noted the peculiar formation of the teeth-the under ones overlap; one tooth missing from the under jaw, which may have been knocked out by the assailant Hair light-brown, about two and a half inches long; features seemingly narrow across the forehead and eyes. Mr Tays has left at this office a portion of the clothing of the deceased, to which we invite attention, as they may be the means of arriving at the name of the unfortunate victim. Mr Tays buried such of the remains as were found, and marked the place of Interment with a cross at the head of the grave.
 This number completes the first volume of our paper, and during the year we have circulated seventy-fye. thousand copies of the same, and which, in no small degree, has contrib uted to a knowledge of the mineral. agricultural and pastoral resources of Southern New Mexico, in every State of the Union.
