Forward Oats,

Col Robert Beatty brought 10 town last Mon
day specimen Of oats now growing upon his
farm which are not only remarkably forward
but unusually fine. Those exhibited were about
4! feet tall, heads heavy and in the "milk."-
They are certainly the most forward we have
seon or heard Of this year. The Col. says he
has two acres Of them which will be ready to
cut from the 10Th to the Goth Of this month, and
the specimen exhibited is not over al average
of :he crop. They are certainly very valuable
acquisition to our forage crop.

That treat Midland Route.

I
by the following, which we take from report
of conference held at Augusta on the soth dlt.,
between Hon. S. j. Barbour, President OF the
Virginia and North Can olina Midland Railroads,
Maj. j. I. Moorchea.i. vice-president offahe N.
Z. Midland, Mr.. j. X. Cowan, Attorneyaof the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, and thS Presi.
dent of the Augusta and Knoxville RAILROAD
are compelled to believe that Union rs not
thought of as being on the line Of the great
Railroad route from Baltimore to the South:
Mr. Barbour said the object of his visit was
principally to obtain information in regard to
the feasibility of obtaining q permanent connec-
tion with Augusta by the way of the Augusta and
Knoxville Railroad, and the disposition of the
people Of Augusta towards sacL connection
There had been number of suggestions made
rs to the route to be pursued, but he Inclined to
that by way of Statesville, N. c., Spartanbure
| and Greenwood. The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road desired to reach Augusta and have a through
line under one management from Baltimore to
this city. Ii would be nearly IN airline and
the nearest all-rail 10 the East
r. X
surveying party had aready been sent out
to survey the route from Statesvill to Spartan
burg. If the road was built from Greenwood &c
Spartanburg, sixty-six miles, it would find the
Baltimore and Ohio, through the North Caroline
Midland. awaiting it at Spartanbury. At night
meeting of citizens was held, at which Presi
dent Barbour and others spoke. lie assured
Augusta that if the road was built from Angus
to to Spartanburg the Virginia Midland wnuls
meet 1t at that point. resolution was Hdon
ted. declaring that it was the sense of the meet
| ing that the Augusta and Knoxville Railroad
should be extended to Spartanburg ut tho ear
licst possible moment.
That, we suppose, settles the matter in favo
OF Spartanburg leaving Union to jog on in he
old one-horse way or get mad enough to build
few miles of railroad to tap one of the grea
lines running above her-at Gaffney City o
Gastonia on the Airline at Cedar Springs O
