BLUE RIDGE CONVENTION.
Large Delegations from Georgia, Ten
nessee and South Carolina-The Or
misunderstanding Words from
Anderson-The Meeting at Night.

From the Charleston Ne,es and Courier, May 26.
The Blue Ridge Railroad Convention
assembled pursuant to the adjournment
at Anderson, S. c., on the 31st of March
last) at the Hibernian Hall, at noon yes
terday.
Col. J. w. Gaut, of Knoxville, Tenn,
was called to the chair, and W. w.
Humphreys, Esq. requested 10 act as Sec
retary. Col. Gaut, in calling the Con-
vention to order, said:
GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION:
By arrangement with the local committee
appointed by the Charleston Chamber of
Commerce, it has been made my duty to
call this Convention to order. The
names of the several delegations from
Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and
South Carolina have already been ham
ded in to the Secretary, and before this
list is read will only add now, previous
ly to asking for the appointment of a
committee on permanent organization,
that I am gratifed to meet such large
delegations from the northern portions
of your State, from Georgia, from North
Carolina, and to present to you the dele
CATION we bring from Tennessee. We
are here, gentlemen, in the interest of
the Blue Ridge Railroad. We are here
to devise means for pressing that most
important enterprise through, and max
ing the connection, if possible, with the
city of Charleston and the little city
which I have the honor, in part, to repre-
sent-the city of Knoxville, Tenn. The
revival of this interest occurred at Wal
halla in November last. Delegates were
called for, and, after organization and an
enthusiastic review of the questions look
ing to the interests of the people of that
section in the great enterprise-the
completion of the Blue Ridge Railroad
they adjourned to meet at Knoxville on
the Goth of January. Having notice of
that fact we made some preparation for
the meeting by the organization of dele
cations from our section. At that meet
ing we had quite large and, 1 may say,
Intelligent delegation from South Carroll
ma, and after an interesting discussion OF
the question under consideration, ad-
iourned to meet at Anderson on the 30th
of March last. At that meeting we also
| naQ quite large aIteuuauCe, ANU ah az
ditional interest was thrown into the en-
terprise. We then adjourned, as I have
already stated, to meet in Charleston
to-day. Pursuant to this adjournment
we are here. We are here for the pur-
pose of consulting with you with refer
ence to this enterprise-we are here, il
possible, to devise means to join together
the cities of the Valley of the Tennessee
with your beautiful "City by the Sea. y
We are here representing the various
interests of Tennessee-agricultural and
mechanical and mercantile-and we are
here as one man. We have our political
and social differences, and our local con
tests no doubt; but upon this subject We
are united people. Upon the question
of establishing the railroad connection

venture any predictions. Like his father,
Fred is hard drinker, and already has
the appearance of q bon viuant. Ulysses,
Jr., proposes to start out on his own hook,
and try to make respectable lawyer Of
himself, and, in few weeks, will settle
permanently in New York to practice his
chosen profession. 1t is but just to say
that the young man, by his modesty. good
sense, and intelligence, has won the good
will of all who have come in contact with
him at the White House.

home. But after some consideration, be-
ing sort of half editor himself, he
came to the conclusion that the editors
sometimes go off half-cocked, and some
times told chunks of lies. So he thought
he would remain. But after the speech
of the first speaker, (Col. Trenholm
who said that Charleston could not now
subscribe to the road, he had come to the
conclusion that the editor had probably
by chance told the truth. When he
heard that speech he began to think hail
Columbia. That speech meant that the
people of Charleston were not ready for
this road. What were the delegates here
for then? 1t was no use to SOW seed if
there was not the soil here to take it. The
people of Tennessee had no idea of CIV
ing up the project; they intended to
complete their section of the road
Their purpose in coming to Charleston
was to see if the people of Charleston
would meet them at the Tennessee line,
and they were met with the statement
that Charleston was willing to receive
them, but was not ready to contribute its
share of the work. He thought that the
temper of the Convention was to carry
the road in another direction, and a reso-
luton would probably be offered in the
morning to hold the next Convention in
Augusta or Atlanta. The Tennessee
delegation had no idea of sowing seed
for ever, and they had about come to the
conclusion that they had better adopt the
Augusta outlet. The tide of feeling in
his opinion, would diverge from Charles
ton. Knoxville was not obliged to come
to Charleston. Port Royal was almost
in bee-line from Knoxville; he had
some faith in the building of that line,
none in this, and when he returned to
his constituents at Knoxville he would
say to them that he received no encour-
agement here, but had had cold blank
ct thrown upon him.
The Convention then adjourned until
10 A. NJ, to-day.

ST.. LOUIS, September PA report
has been in circulation here since Sum
day, that a heavy forgery has been COM
mitted on one Of our city banks, but the
matter has been kept SO quiet that few
II any facts could be ascertained. Itnow
appears, however, that a young man for
merly living in Howard county, this
State, but now doing business here,
forged the names Of the proper officers
70 some blank Howard county bonds and
borrowed money on them as collateral
from one bank In this,city. ...
The forgery, Is said TO have been for
upwards ol $4,000, but this is not def
nitely known. It Is known, however,
that be got $500 here on $1,000 worth
Of bonds, and It is believed that he raised
$15, 600 In one Of the Eastern cities, sup
posed TO be New York: The bonds were
procured from the house Of Study & Co.,
Of this city, which had printed bonds Tor
Howard & Co, hut 1t appears the plate
had not been destroyed. Under what
representations the bonds were obtained
has not yet transpired, but it will proba-
bly, be known in day or two. II is said
that the young man intended to take the
forged bonds up, he having merely used
them to meet business emergency. Al
all events, the banks have been made good
by the forger himself, and there will be
no prosecution. tJlTs l.rI. e.
