SPERC14JF X. GRE.-CONCLU DED. table. All must admit that railroads have a de veloping.infiuence. My object is to show you that raising the money to build a road is one thing, and its proper application another. That in order to render a railroad useful to a country, it must be owned by the right sort of men, driven by the same sort of enterprise and industry which secured the owners their private fortunes. The State of South Carolina has not succeed. ed in any public euterprrse yet, and I think it next to an impossibility for her to manage the Blue Ridge Road if ever so well located and built, so as to compete successfully with the great and enterprising companies that have pene trated the West with their gigantic and well managed works. We already begin to feel the inconvenience of railraoad competition in drawing trade from Charleston; much of the wngon trade that used to come down from Charlotte, in North Caroli na, has been diverted by the Charlotte Railroad to the North Carolina Railroad. The trade of the great West will not be so easily turned to Charleston as some persons im agine, the matter cannot be determined, by an arithmetical calculation of distance. In railroad operations, the outfit may be uo much more com plete, and the management so mnch better on one establishment than another, that it will car ry commodities double the distance in the same time and for a less cost. Recently the Graniteville company sent a hun dred bales of their domestics to St. Louis, in li!.souri, by the way of Nashville, Tennessee. The goods started from Graniteville, one hun dred and twenty-five miles from Charleston, on the way to St. Louis. The cost of transit on these goods amounted to 8640 for one hundred bales, andi doubt if they would have gone any cheaper if there had been a railroad from Nash ville to St. Louis, where the goods went by steamboat. The same hundred bales of goods could have been shipped from Charleston to St. Louis by the way of New York, for $500. To the same place, by the way of New Orleans, from Charleston, insurance included, for $275. From Liverpool to St. Louis, by the way of New York, 8550. From Liverpool to St. Louis, by the way of New Orleans, $300. It cost us $40 on those hundred bales of goods to Hamburg, only ten miles, on the South Carolina Railroad *to Augusta; for twenty-five dollars the same has been taken from Charleston to New York; for fifty dollars I have shipped a similar quantih of goods from Charleston to New Orleans, and for S150 they can be taken from New Orleans to bt. Louis. These facts will clearly Indicate that we will have something more to-do than merely build a raiboad over the mountains. After it is built it will have to be worked with the greatest possi ble skill and enterprise, or it will fail to bring the trade we anticipate. During the first ten years of the existence of the Hamburg Railroad, Charleston, instead of advancing as was expected, actually retrogaded in popu ation. In 1846 Charleston was connected with Knox ville by railroad-the point at which the Blue Ridge Road is to terminate. Charleston has re ceived no perceptible advantage from that con nection. Some say that the Georgia State Road uses its influence to divert trade to Savannah ; and heace the necessity or tunneling mountains in order to be independent of that obstacle. The truth is, that it is Georgia and Savannah enter prise that carries the trade to Savannah; for men will send to the best markets. Some years ago the people of Nashville made a strong appenl to Charleston for Aid to build a railroad from Nashville to Chattanooga, which was to put Charleston in connection with the West, and give her unheard of commerce from the Mississippi. Representations were made to public meetings, which were quite as extravagant and out of the way am some of the speeches which were made on this floor in favor of'the Blue Ridge. Charleston was to receive millions, -itf she got nothinig more than drayage and comn missiens: figures were set forth to show that enormous quantities of produce was to be ~-drawn from that vast region, embracing th or four hundred miles around Nashville.' eles were separately enumerated. There-was coin by the millions of bushels, wheat, barley, -baron, rard, pickled pork and beef, live stock, &c6 It was quite curious to those who were entertained by those representations to witness the results. * The city of Charleston responded to the call, and subscribed 8500,000, which is now worth but $250,000. The road has been completed, niow about three years, and I don't suppose that a bushel of corn lhas ever passed over it from Nashville to Charleston, and very few bushels of wheat, drawnu in that direction by the extra ordinary European war prices. Indeed the trade of Charleston would not be sensible of the road ha-via'g been built, except by losing a vastly valuable grocery trade of all that Chatta nooga country, in the valley of the Tennessee river, which trade very suddenly took the back track through the tunnelled mountains, to Nash ville, which is supplied by New Orleans. Charleston had a mania at one time for west ern extensions, and while in that mood she sub scribed $250,000 to the Char'eston and Mem phis road. That road is destined to make a'noth er heavy draft on the Charleston trade ; it has already reached North Alabama, and entirely cut off a valuable cotton trade from Charleston, and wvhen the road is completed, will be in connection with the valley roads, and it will be more than State management can accomplish, with the best road and machinery ever built, to prevent Blue Ridge travel and freight frnm taking~ the back track, and make the road a feeder of the Memphis and. Virginia roads; that result will surely follow unless we have a direct atnd inde pendent road to Charleston. ~ Then how necessary it is fo us to take a com prehensive view of the subject and not i nvolve the State in difficeulties-and embarrassments that may discourage and dampen the ardor of South Carolina, and preclude for many years to come from helping useful enterprises. I trust, 51r. Speaker, that I have done enough in this State to satisfjy the public mind that I etm not what is termed in common parlan'ce an " old fogy," and opposed to the progress of the age. I have always been willing to extend a help ing hand to any useful and practicable work, and have not been backward in putting my own shoulder to the wheel of onward improvement. I am, however, not one of those who regard it to be so vastly important to extend railroads through the mountains of South Carolina, as to expend millions of dollars of public treasure, and Involve the State in a heavy debt, to accom plish that object. For I have not the slightest idea that the profits from such a work would half pay interest on the cost, even with all the prosperity and success that the most sanguine could expect. There can be no doubt that the State would be largely benefited by a central railroad leading from the seabord to the interior, and before 1 wotuld do anything more for the Blue Ridge, I would require that company to secure a sub scription bouna fide, in each "ef the States of Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee, which would be ample enough to secure us against embarrassment in the progrsi of the wvork ; I would then require Charleston- to furnish indi vidual subscriptions and corporation aid to a sufficient amount to secure 3-5 of the capital neeessary to build and equip a road from Char lestonu to the North Carolina line. If Charleston cannot or will n<. raise the means to join the State in a road which wou'd redound so much to her advantage, Beaufort may be taken hold of..and be made the seabord ter minus. In either case, the project would be practical, and a paying road, and if began at the low end, every mile of it which was completed would, be a renumerating property, so that a - suspension like the one now likely to occur ..would not necessarily lead to a ruinous loss. Baltimore commenced in that way with her .great work, and the Baltimore and Ohio road was a paj'ing property neairly twenty years be ?fore the mountain euts were made. Charleston's great-object should now be to eget a greet central road through the Sltate to the - .mountains, she has already done much towards .opening new avenues South and Northr; she .can and will do still more,and shae mighlt with great propriety make a debt of 3 or 400,000.000 * more to cut through the barrier that exists bE-I .*we-en her aiA the un wenntr. which must hel broken before she can become the emporium' of the Western trade ; that. is a work that Charles ton will have to do, and will do at 'some future day, cost what it may.
