rhe Preliminary Survey of the Savan-
nah Valley Route.
On Tuesday las., Major Lee, CT .ef En-
gineer OF the Savannah Valley Railroad,
attended by his corps, entered the corpo-
rate limits Of our Town, and finished the
preliminary survey upon which be has
been engaged for The last fortnight. Ma
jor Lee, who is al exceedingly intelligent
and high-toned gentleman, did us The
honor to call on us and designate the
route he has chosen for the Savannah Val
ley Road upon Edgefeld soil. Major Lee
crosses the Greenwood and Augusta Rail-
road at point one mile sc1th OF Dorn's
Mines, continues thence, across the North
ern part of Washington Township, and
crosses Big Stevens Greek a.quarter of a
mile below the mouth Of Rocky Creek,
And Just here we would state thai there
are three. Rocky Greeks in our County,
one flowing into Big Stevens Creek, one
flowing into Turkey Creek, and one flow
ing into Little Stevens Greek. From Big
Stevens Creek, MAJOR Lees route runs
across the extreme Southern point. .of llib-
Ter Township, and through the centre o.
Talbert, to Turkey Greek, which il crosse:
at Cochran's Mill, near Mr.. Tandy Mar
tins. From this crossing, it runs through
Moss Township, Immediately by Mrs. D.
D. Brunson's, one mile from Duntonsvillu'
and then follows the ridge between Beaver
Dam and Turkey Greek, and strikes The
lately surveyed route of the Atlantic and
French Bread Road in the neighborhood
of Mr.. John Hollingsworth's. Thence it
cuts across, and entering our corporate
limits Westward, few hundred yards of
the residence of Captain Lewis Jones, Srr
runs through the vegetable garden OF the
Hon. John C. Sheppard-1ohn can en-
brace the stakes now crosses the Acad-
envy branch right below Mr.. Sheppard's
house, runs almost through the Catholic |
graveyard, back Of the Courthouse, behind
the old livery stable which stands almost
opposite the Old Penn house,
crosses the read little below
tile old Penn house, runs across
the fields Immediately in rear oi Mr.. A. ).
Norris residence, and strikes the Edge
field, Trenton and Aiken Railroad at The
cut hard by the residence of the late A!rs.
Martha Cbristan-twenty-thrce miles
from where it crosses the Greenwood
and Augusta Road. 1t will thus he seen
that Edgeiield is entirely surrounded by
routes and unironed tracks;
But all these projects and endeavors Will
pear rich fruit in very few years. Next
week we have further items OF interest to
h-aniole. concerning ti,ie e"-re;r ir'@HS"
t IS our design TO carefully compare the
,wo routes.
