THE BLUE RIDGE BAILROAD.

There is to be Convention in Ander-
son of the friends of this enterprise on
the 30th of March next. 1t is of the
greatest importance, that the project
should be kept alive and that the town
and County of Anderson, which is prob
ably more highly interested in its sue
cessful termination than any other, should
manifest an interest and a firm and abb
ding faith in the completion of the road.
We hope that our neighboring towns will
have representatives here on that occa-
sion, and suggest that our Charleston and
Columbia friends should take measures
to secure q delegation from each Of those
cities. The City Of Knoxville, and other
places of importance along the Western
portion of the line, will be represented,
and We should endeayor to complete ar
rangements for the organization of a
company to proceed with the building of
the road. There will be meeting of the
citizens of the County of Anderson, on
Saleday in March at twelve o'clock, in
the Court House, to elect delegates from
this County to attend this Convention.
We hope an interest will be taken in the
subject by our people.

MEssRs. EDITORS Your repeated
kindness induces me to repay you, in
some slight degree, by occasional contri-
buttons to the columns of your valuable
paper. These sketches shall be, for the
most part, a faithful portrayal of passing
events as they occur.
The mild, spring-like weather has
pushed the farmer to the commencement
of operations for another crop. The
ploughman is beginning to turn the stub
Bile soil, and other hands are ,ditching
and draining the bottom lands. On the
Three-and- Twenty the land-holdes are
for the second time throwing out the
sand from the beds of their old bitches,
at very heavy expense, though with
the prospect this time of the bitches
cleaning themselves hereafter, as the
dam has been removed. On other
streams the people are availing them
selves of the provisions Of the drainage
law, and in a very few years it is be-
lieved that all the bottom lands lying
along the margin of our streams will be
in a state of cultivation. The County
Commissioners are aiding tho people in
this important undertaking, and ought
not in certain cases to withhold material
aid in so important an enterprise. We
have, long, long years ago, heard appeals
for public aid to projected railroad enter
prizes, factories, &C., but we venture the
assertion that in respect to the advance
ment of agriculture in our County, the
promotion of the public health, none of
these enterprises would do more for the
public good than would be accomplished
by the thorough drainage of our bottom
lands. An old and successful farmer in
Pickens, one who has in cultivation large
bodies of creek bottom lands, says that
when thoroughly drained and in state
of cultivation, every acre of such land is
worth hundred dollars. Now, is the
estimate extrayagant, when we remem-
ber that each acre will produce annually
from twenty-five to forty bushels of corn,
with surplus of peas, pumpkins, &c. I?
The drainage law should be amended so
as to require the bitches to be kept clean
of all debris and trash, and have the
gullies empying sand into the main
ditch from the hill sides blocked with
trash so as to stop the sand.
The financial crisis through which the
County is passing is operating hardly
upon all the industrial interests of the
country. Farmers are, for the most part,
talking about partially abandoning cot
ton, and substituting provision crops,
vegetables, fruits, &c. Gaanos are at q
! discount in the calculations of tho farm

Our spicy contemporary, the Green
vile Daily Ne,os, makes the following
excellent and sensible application Of an
old story. 1t would be well for our coa-
lition friends to study its moral, which is,
"make no alliances with persons or par
ties whose integrity is not above ques-
tion." Read the tale and learn the re-
suit of coalition:
A Democratic Club and Republican
Club went possum hunting in cahoot,
the Democrats making the proposition
agreed to furnish the dogs. The darkey
who carried the torch was asked next
day how they came out, "Kocht four pos.
sums" "Well, how about the divide p
"Dunno, sar, yer see deys gwine in cahoot
and kocht four possums. Mars Cham
berlin tuck two, and Mars Moses tuck
two, an as dey's gwine in cahoot, l reckon
de Democrats gifts de cahoot."

ers, unless they can be had at a reduced
price and with cotton option. If the
result Of this revulsion in trade should
force an entire revolution in the system
of agriculture, SO as to produce greater
diversity Of crops, the country might yet
rejoice and say that, mixed with this
bitter cup of financial distress, there is a
rich blessing in disguise.
