Through to Cincinnati.

COLUMBIA. December 7.--Col O. G.. Kinp.
president of the Morristown and Cumberland
Gap Railroad, in company with Col. Campbell,
engineer Of said road, visited Abbeville this
week for the purpose Of comforting with the
authorities of the Atlantic aud French Broad
Railroad Company, with a view of effecting
consolidation between the two companies and
constructing au independent road from Cincin-
natl to Charleston. Col. King has recently
concluded contract with q strong syndicate
in New York for tho construction Of his road.
This syndicate is anxious TO take hold of the
entire line from Cincinnati to Charleston, and
guaran ees its completisn within reasonable
time. There will be nc, difficulty in securing
capital. .... .u ....
What the authorities Of the Atlantic and
French Broad Valley Company propose to do
is not yet known, but il is believed by the
friends of the road that the proposed scheme
of MIR. King is entirely feasible, and the or
ganization of company to build, though
without reference to existing roads, may grow
out of the present negotiations. Other favo
able propositions have been submitted TO the
company. The friends of the road now feel
confident of their ability to build the ruaJ

The Greenvi'le News says: 1t would save
much trouble to South Carolina if the Reput-
lican statesmen would kindly unscat every
Congressman we have sent and order new
elections. We need something to anger the
people and stimulate their hatred of Radical
ism, and such contests would have just that
effect Smalls, it is said, is zcalously work
ing to unseat Tiilman, Mackey is making an
active effort to displace Dibbe, and Stolbrand
is neglecting his duties of hunting Mellow to
fight Col. Aiken. Now Jet Sam Lee 60 to the
front, and let Evius be unseated on general
principles, and We'll all have some fun.

ATRAVELER's TROUBLES.

B. d. Brown, former resident of Pleas
ant Valley Ia, but more lately adenison of
Davenport has left his.wife and family and
made off with grass widow. Brown was
engaged in the confectionery establishment
of Reimerst & Fernard acting in the capaci-
ty of travelling salesman, while out on the
road he met Mrs. Libbie Smith whose
domestic hearth stone was supposed to be
located at Trenton Mo, They met by
chance. and subsequently met by arrange
ment At last the couple agreed to elope
and for that purpose Brown left his law
full wife in Davenport whom he notified of
what was to transpire. Theywere very con
siderate of the wifes feelings as even Mrs
Smith wrote a long and gushing let
ter to the forsaken wife in which it was
stated that the writer and Brown could no
longer survive a separation and conse-
quently would in future try life together.
If the facts as stated are true, and
there is no reason to doubt them
it is probably that Brown and
his partner are making tracks for Utah
where they will be welcomed for practices
which in the rest of this civilized country
are not held in the highest esteem.
