TEE BLUE RIDGE RAILROAD.

We yield the greater part of our inside
columns this week to the meeting held
in Charleston last week in the interest of
the Blue Ridge Railroad. The Anderson
Town Council, upon the petition of a
large number of our leading citizens,
appointed Committee-consisting of
@. F. Tolly, intendant, Gen. W. W.
Humphreys and Maj. E. B. Murray-to
proceed to Charleston, and if in their
discretion advisable to New York, to
present to the authorities of Charleston
and the capitalists of New York the
advantages of this route over all Others
as the great through line from the South
Atlantic seacoast to Cincinnati and other
great commercial marts of the West.
We understand the Committee deferred
their visit to New York until after the
coming session of the Legislature. when
q similar Committee from the Board of
Trade of Charleston will unite with
them, and together they will proceed to
New York. The Committee met with
cordial reception, which led to meetings,
showing Charleston to be in hearty accord
With our people in this enterprise. The
prospects of the early completion of this
road are now more promising than they
have been since the close of the late war.
Its paramount importance over all Others
to the whole State is conceded, and if
the Legislature called to meet next week
win grant the assistance which the public
interests not only require but demand, its
completion will be secured. The people
of this State are yearly paying thousands
of dollars in the way of increased freights
to the various railroads crossing the
mountains, and these roads are run in the
interests of commercial ports without its
limits, and the natural tendency of which
is to destroy the trade and prosperity Of
Charleston and impoverish the people OF
the State. This state of things will con-
tinus until there is line of railroad
from Charleston to the West, indepen-
dent of all connecting lines whose inter-
ests are antagonistic. The completion of
tie Blue Ridge road will give to Charles
ton and the State direct and indepen-
dent communication with the West, with
nothing to fear from competing routes.
Its completion would save to the State
thousands of dollars annually, make
Charleston the great exporting and inn
porting port of the South Atlantic sea-
coast, and impart new life and renewed
energy to all the industrial interests OF
the State. It is much better that the
State should be taxed to small extent
in such manner that the tax should
contribute to the promotion of the gene
raj welfare, rather than as at present pay
in the way of increased freights a much
larger amount, which, instead of promo
ting the general welfare, is an incubus
upon all its commercial and industrial
pursuits. With proper legislation this
road can now be completed with great
advantage 10 the whole State, and the
fond expectations of the most far-seeins
statesmen of forty years ago realized.

PRESIDENT TUPPER's REMARKS.

PRESIDENT TUPPER's REMARKS.
Attention seems to be again directed to
Charleston as the true outlet for the for
eign commerce and exports of the West.
What we have years ago contended for
begins to be realized by capitalists and
others abroad, that our geographical po-
sition gives us advantages over every
other South Atlantic seaport for this
trade. The railroads already constructed
and in the course of construction stretch
their arms to the West and point to that
connection with the Cincinnati Southern
and other Western routes which are des-
tined to be the great feeders of our COM
merce.
Those now engaged in encouraging this
work are calling upon Us for moral, if not
more material aid. They desire Charles
ton to speak out and show that she is
alive to the importance of the situation.
Our sister city of Savannah, with inferior
advantages, is straining every nerve and
advertising herself to obtain this trade.
Charleston remains supine and apparent
ly Indifferent to the bright prospect be-
fore her. Day after day has that intelli-
gent and watchful sentinel, the NeUs and
Courier, admonished US that the people
of the West, the moneyed men of the
North, and far-seeing capitalists of the
land are proposing to stake their millions
on the venture. Still the old city, in
wondrous apathy, makes no sign, and,
like modern Venice, seems content to
live upon the glories of the past and
amuse herself with petty political and
internal squabbles.
It is useless for us to brood over the
miseries of the past and talk of Charles
ton being impoverished. She is not im-
pouerished. I have unwittingly lent an
ear to this delusion myself. But tell
YOU there is an abundance of money in
the city which, if good returns were
assured, could be invested in manufac-
lures, railroads and other public enter
prises. =.
It is idle to hope and wait for the citi-
zens of St. Louis, Cincinnati and New
York to build railroads to your doors
without words of cheer and due encour-
agement from you. 1t is idle to pray to
Hercules to help you, if you do not help
YOURSELF. Our wagon is in the mire and
we must put our shoulders to the wheel,
then call to Hercules and he will come
to your assistance.
There is no port which offers the peo-
ple of the Northwest the same advantages
as ours. The rule and compass which
never deviates shows them that nature
has designed Charleston as the outlet tor
their commerce. Its the nearest to them,
and its position on the sea, with the finest
harbor in the world, (which we will have
when the jetties are completely gives us
every advantage over rival and compet-
