Aftcra sumptuous and heartily enjoyed

orally. Many were greatly impressed
with Mr.. Scholicld's views and all with
his clcarncss and ability. Great doubt was
expressed rs to any positive action on

auguration, tn" meeting was called to
order by Mr.. W Il. Hrawlrv, of Charles
ton, who moved that Mr.. +. II. Frost be
elected chairman.
The following account of the meeting
we clip from the NcW$ UHd Courier. 1t
is a good report Of the proceedings On
c"pt AZ 10 MIR. Park"r's remarks. Mr..
Parker drew the comparison hctwcch the
Midland route and the Cumberland Gap
route, showing great advantages of the
latter. The Wees dnH C'OU.Tcr omitted

OF course all virtue in the comparison is
lost where the figures of the other side
are omitted. Mr.. Hrkcr deserves great
credit for his clear, straightforward and
manly exposition Fl the advantages of the
enterprise. He received the first APP
p!au$c Of the meeting and the hearty
well done o: the friends of the read.
