Terrible Disaster at Sea. NEW YOHK, Aug. 31.-The Nettie Cashing, off and from C hamaston, Maine, for New York", arrived at New London yesterday, and stated she was ruu into by the propeller Metis, of the Providence and New "iovK line, and lost her bow spirit and head gear, knigkthead, and all lore mast gear. He'sang out to the captain of the steamer to "stand by him, as he thought he was sinking," but the steamer went on her course. After clearing the wreck he made for New London, but could not make it, and came to anchoret' Uosher Reef, west of New London light. At thc time'of the collision it was blowing a gale from southeast, and was thick and raining. He was steaming west bv south, through the race with little Guli Island five miles distant, nearing west by south. The following is another account: To wards midnight it blew nearly a gale, while pitchy darkness prevailed. Tho passengers had long since retired to red, and with the exception that thc vessel was rolling some, owing to 'the toughness of the sea, nothing occurred to mar the progress of the trip. Shortly after three o'clock a schooner hove in sight, about four miles west southwest of "Watch Hill light, and not more than five miles from the shore. It was at this time raining hard, and. as appears, the weather was somewhat thick. Suddenly and without a word, without a sound of warning, the schooner, heavily laden with lime, ran into the steamer, forty feet abaft the stern, on the port side, and squared, away on her " coupe." A deep dull thud was felt all over the steamer. Men and worsen were aroused from slumber, and some, less frightened than the MM, rushed on deok h???'drsteed, and made for the pilot abuse to learn the cause of what seemed 9 col lision. The captain had already mane in quiries from the engineer, and the cheer ing news of "all right" at once flayed the alarm of thc terror-stricken crowd; some returned to their berths, out others, not satisfied with the announcement, or * perhaps, uneasy as to the result , remained on the hurricane deck. Fifteen minutes later and the death knell went ringing through the vessel. The Metis was leak" ing badly, and the news spread like vild fiie. The staze rooms were thrown open and the passengers scrambled tb the upper deck to be .further off from the water. It was a fearful scene. The deck bands-rush ed Up and down, warning the passengers to look to their lifo preservers ior the Me tis was going down, ano", there were som? ?whom-thc first ?shock had not awakened but who, now that the shriek.ngand ham mering had begun, quickly jumped forth to the terrible realization* of their peril *f>own gradually deeper went the vessel. . uittil her bulwarks were under the watei and waves came, sweeping over ?he deck Nearly ?every soul on board had tried t reach the upper deck. Some succ^cde* and some failed and were lost. Others plunged into thr> sea and were washed foi away. A rush wa* made for tho boats which were promptly lowered and, amid rho wildest shriek'-, the terrified passen gers made desperate exertions to crowd in to them. Thc Metis liad now sunk below her guards, and several persons just run nj from their b<v:h< only to nrec-t a terribl' fate. Thc main deck was rTackeVl will huge baies of cotton, and as ; hey begar to floai abont many of the passengers gol hemmed in, ant! '"ere either drowned or crushed to death. But the scenes above were truly appalling. Death stared every one ir: the face. Ot the entire number ot .souls, only som. fifty-three remained on the hurricane deck. The others had dis appeared* in the darkness. Meanwhile Capt. Enr?en and the officers of the ves sel were beb?ving with commendable cool ness. In compliance with orders, alljiands were provided with life preservers. At length thc deck upon which stood the terrified poop!.- parted from the hull, owing doubtless to the great pressure ol the cotton bul-s, and in a few moments t ie Metis smile tb rise no more, leaving tie floating deck, with its huddled crowd, to the mercy of the waves. The collision had taken place at exactly twenty minutes to four o clock, and about three quarters of an hour elapsed from that time io the complete' separation ol the deck from the heil of the .steamer. ? It is impossible to give any idea of what ensued. Bewildered #and shuddering a: their surroundings, many at once, jumped off the floating deck and were drown*!. Women clung to their children, resolved thai they would perish with lb??. O.v ing'tb thc darkness, it could net I? mude out whCrc they were, and as tho awful feeling prevail1:'! that the deck was drift ing out tosca, it was indeed a night of horror. At? length morning dawned and- thc shore of Watch Hill was discovered, but the wind had not abated much, and al though by this time those on deck had maus themselves somewhat secure, fems were entertained icsaa heavy sw?, then running, would sw op them off. Nearer anti nearer the floating remnant of thc Vessel approached the shore, and finally struck bottom. This was the ?ig nal note, and in half a dozen seconds th*1 nearly exhausted and perishing passen gers plunged into the serf to trust to their fate. Soon after she went to pieces, and many seized hold of the debris and were swe'pt. a?ivic alive. In one instance, a lady with her 'wo children, one und'::- each uit?, w?ft* carried safely through the surf Kqm.i:. beings struggled in all direction.-. : some were struck by (louting timbers and swepl senseless hieb upon tho beich. Others, uri . able any lo ig-. to hold om, succumbed, but were fimiilj vashed ashore in a dying condition. The Steam- - Narragansett arrived in' New York ya the evening of the 3,1st bringing several passengers and three o; the deck hands efthc Metis. But the? saddest thing of all was in the saloon of the Narragansett, where sut a voting woman, poorly but neatly dressed, weeping silently near th*? spot 'where thc body ot her husband ?ay. irMie was asleep .viten the ceiiisica cccunred, but was . ?wakened by the shock, an " told her bus :lead to get up and sc-e. what wa? the mat .?t*. He did so, and soon returned, saying .cat tho '.v.; I tin *hcd told him there was no danger He got into bed Again, "but .hiswife could sieep, and was soon again alarmed by the sound of many feel running to and fro A moment later tin steward, a brave man, of whom all .-pol:* well,rushed into til-.- stateroom and tn!, them to put dn their life preservers, as tin ship w.i3 sinking. This was a rerrib-i sjiock, but they hastened to obey the or tiers. The two children of the youn*. couple lay asleep, enc a baby six weeks old, the other a bor of three. The father took the biggest child in his arms, the mother clung to h.. r infant, and the tw struggled to the deck .-alo?>n, which wa? knee-deep in water by this time, and in less than five minutes* possibly f tho poor woman has no very exact idea of the laps? of time), man and wife were in the water. The waves ran high ami soon husband and wife were swept asunder. The former lo> his strength, relaxed his hold on his chi: and botli were drowned. Thc mother held her babe above the hungry waters until her strength, too, was exhausted, and then a wave larger than the : est dashed it.from her arms and sue saw it sink sloivly to thc depths below. Just as she was ex hausted, and after the life preserver had slipped from beneath her arms, the Moc casin came np and she was recalled to life, which, for the present at least, is bitter in deed. " I have my husband herc," sin said, " but they cannot find my babies in ? so largona sea." The poor woman goes to Philadelphia this afternoon, where her parents live, and where her husband will be buried. WATCH HILL, R. Lj August 31.-Many physicians are herc doing alli hey canfor the sufferers. Twenty-five or more of the escaped passengers are lying at Watch Hill house, and receiving every attention. Thus far eighty-five have reported them selves and the rest are supposed to bc lost. Many of those saved will die. . DISTINCTION WITHOUT A DIFFERI-NCE. -R. H. Gleaves, the Lieutenant-Oovernor on thc Moseeite ticket, is not a pardoned convict, as we intimated yesterday. It appears from a communication published elsewhere that he was convicted once, but a new trial was granted, and when the ' case came up for a second hearing, the DistrK-t Attorney entered a nol. pros. We have no desire to injure the candidate, and therefore, make the correction.-Phceni x.. ? THE TRUE REPUBLICAN? The Plea of the Virtuous Bolters. To the People of South Carolina : On the 16th day of October next, yon will be culled on to elect the various men who shall fill the various offices in the State government for the next official term. The condition of the afinirs of the State at this time causes the gravest concern and most serions anxiety in the minds of all good citizens. Taxation unprecedented in amount in the history of this State weighs upon the people. No man but feels the burden ; but however and by whatever channels thc faxes roach the treasury, they come finally, in great part, from those who till the soil, in th-> form ol' reduced wages, ?nd thc increased cost of food, clothing aad other necessary expenses of a com fortable existence. " Th'e hard hand of toil largely pays the expenses of the -State, though the money may be deposited in th? treasury by tho?e who* own thc capital and the land." Let no man flatter himself, therefore that his poverty renders this subject of taxation one of indifference to him. Besides the Vast sums which have been drawn from the people by direct taxation, our miers have been heaping other burdens upon us and our posterity, by enormous, and in many cases fraudulent issues of bonds, the very interest of which is a sum so large that it seems impossible to pay* it. Concealment of the real state of our affairs has been practiced to a cri annal extent ; re port after report, statement after statement, has been trade by the financial officers of the State, making tulse exhibits of our public .lebt : and it was only when an outraged pub lie opinion demanded and compelled an in vestigation, that our real situation was developed, and wai found to justify the v/orst apprehensions which had been felt. The public mind is too familiar with riic facts to retpure more to' be said con cerning tho bond frauds : but it is worth while to consider here the question, what has become of the money so lavishly poured into tho treasury ? To what objects nave we seen it appropriated hy those who, under the law, are appointed to dis burse it ? Have the rights of person and property, which is the special function of good government to guard, been secured? Have the children, of the people been fur nished with the means ot that education which alone can fit ihem worthily to per f >rm the dutj?s oi citizenship ? Have the lumane institutions in charge of the State been cared for ? Have the resources of the State been developed, its industries fostered, its present and future welfare provided for with reasonable prudence ? The answers to these questions are in the mouths of all the people. We are ashamed to he compelled to confess that he State Government has failed to pro cch the citizens, not only in the enjoyment >f those rights and privileges intended to >e secured by the providions of the State md national constitutions, but even in those more limited rights which no re spectable civilized government on earth illowa to be violated in the persons of 'ts ?subjects ; and it has been the strong arm if the Federal Government which has re ?ased thousands of men. women "and children from 'a terror with which they ?nid not fail to be filled by countless out rages' perpetrated upon their friends, rela tives and neighbors by conspirators, whose ? leeds thc world reads of with horror. Tin- public schools heve been ( rippled in ii^eir work, and in many cases closed, !>e ?ilise their teachers applied in vain at-ree State treasury for the small salaries jus* ?y due them and necessary to t heir daily support.

The oxpen ses of some brunches of the government iiave been so enormously increased tis astonish all who'are not familiar with the character of many of those who fiji irupor taut positions in the State Government. "Pay certificates," drawn by the speak er of tLc House of Repr?sentatives, pur porting to be for expenses of the late se*siou, ro th amount of over ?1,000,000 nave already appeared at the treasury and been paid i?rexchanged for thc notes ol' the treasurer, and it ?s estimated by those in.a position to judge wisely thatS^5Cf,000 in "pay certiiicatcs" is still alloat in the community, to be presented whenever there is any probability of their being al lowed. This will make the expenses of a single session of the General Assembly vcr 81,250,000, oo more than 400 'per cent, of the sum which was formerly con st lered sufficient to pay them. . Enormous sums have been lavished in ?..Mended support of an ''armed force,' which is notoriously non-existent. The most corrupt practices have obtain '.d.in the making of contracts by State officials. The contract with the Roberts and other anns companies of New York .inder which there was drawn from the .State treasury over $200,000. while said .rms company received less than $90,000, ?s a type of the manner in which the State treasury bas been depleted. The public ire familiar with tho'enormous extent of the bills for otate printing. Formerly -iiis item of expense for a session ef tb" Legislature was not one-fitieth, certainly not one-fortieth*, of what it has been du Mig the veal past.. Dut to catalogue tin ..buses existing in the executive and legis uti ve branches of the State government would not only weary our patience aw sicken om- heart*, but one wno should.at tempt lo characterize them would begg n ;he English language in looking for (it .. rms. Yort already know them in gros, fou can hardly appreciate their enormit) in detail till you examine the facts an figures. Wo allude to but a few of tlc n 1 w specimens of the kind of expenses have brought the credit of South C re., so low that there is " none so poor os do it reverence," and which have us tiie government of the State so edi ?us . the people of the whole country. In thia condition of affairs, was it th. duty of the Republican party? The? wrongs e in t?o way the result of the il toon of its principles. They arise from the greed, and selfishness, and corruption <>. those, who have stolen the garb of Repub lican1 ism to'cioak their evirdeeds, and who should bc ca^t ont of the company of hon est Republicans and honest men as having degraded their nigh calling. Our plain duty points lo this; our ob vious interests demand this; the interests of party demand it; the interests of the State demand it: a decent regard for the opinion of mankind demands it. We must put forward for official position those and those only* who are known as upright, true and unstained men, whose Republi canism is as undoubted as their integrity and their capacity to perform the functions of the offices for which they are nomina ted. Within the lines of the Republican party our work lies. There are honeBt hearts and wise heads enough in that par ty tc do our work. Every good citizen, w'.'tatever bis party affiliations may have been, c^ves it to hunself to work to purify and regenerate our^te Government; but the work especially be?2^ to us* We cannot abandon it to our politica' ;ad?er" ? With this necessity upon us; in an emergency more exigent than has existed i ? in the history of our party in South -Caro lina ; with the eyes of the National Re publican party upon us, and expecting us to rise to the demands of tho occasion, like honest men, the convention now in session in this city has placed in nomination, as a. candidate for Governor, the one man, whose official acts have brought upon the State, and the positions he has held, more dis grace than has attached to any other offi cer of the State Government. Mr. F. J. Moses. Jr., was the person \yho, as adjutant and inspector-general, made the contract with the Roberts Arms Company. We do not know that he re ceived any part of the $114,000 which disappeared in its transit from the office of the financial agent of tho State of South, Carolina, in New York, to the office of the Roberts Arms Company; but wc do know thatjt disappeared. The financial agent's books show that it was paid ; the arms company's books show thal they did not receive it. Mr. P. J. Moses, Jr., was the person who, as speaker of thc House of Repre sentatives, flooded the Slate with a show er of " pay certif?cales,'' and swelled the expenses of thatJlouse, tor a single ses sion, from $145,000, (the highest .possible figure to which thev could amount legiti mately, and this ia based ou most extrava gant calculations,) to quite, or over a mill ion dollars. And this. pa1 jable violation of law, this direct filching from the treasu ry, is neither denied by him nor his friends, but is excused on the ground that he dis posed of a large amount o? these certifi cates in favor of the poor people who fled from the persecutions of the Ku Klux Klan. Was candidate. ever before driven to straits like thi8 ? A fake certificate, a fraudulent and unlawful draft of public monov from the public treasury acknowl edged", and thc act defended on tho ground that the money was disposed'of in chari ty! .Yet even this injaraoas excuse is wanting, when we know that not one per cent, of "these unlawfully issued certificates was thus disposed of, and when \ye daily observe the style of living this candidate holds-a style befitting a profligate mill ionaire, but impossible to an honest man, with the legitimate income of a speaker of the House and an adjutant and inspec tor-general. Wc do not "attempt to ex plaip the entry of $11,000 against the " armed force" appropriation, paid to Mr. F. J. Moses. Jr^ but the known character* of the speaker of thc House, and his ca reer in that office, awaken a suspicion very well defined, which he has not only tailed to clear up, but has allowed thc matter to O'o unexplained, though for many days it has been commented on by the newspa pers, and though it would seem to be all important that he should explain it to those whose suffrages he was soliciting. We are straight Republicans: none will, go farther than we in any path of duty or honor to serve the^ interests of the Re publican party. The' cause of thc late Republican party is dear, unspeakably dear, to us ; its principle of the equality of ail men before the law is that particu lar je wei which outshines, with us, every brilliant" in its casket. But honesty in of fice, capacity in administration, fidelity Co public trusts, arc principles which cannot be ignored.by true Republicans ; and we einnor endorse the action of a convention which ijrnored thurn ail in its selection of a candi late for thc high"-: Slate oft! . however "'regular" that convention may be. We have, therefore, joined in a move ment for the nomination of an indepen dent, IruV Republican ticket: a ticket oin taming the names of men whose fidelity the dictates of honesty ..lui duty isas ..veli known as their'*'-a I in ?lu -anse of tm? Republicanism. They are firm'support i~ of thc nomination or Grant and wilson, and of the great measures of the nanon Republican party which has placed then in nomination, while they add to ihe?i character for integrity, superior capacity and ardent patriotism. We appeal lo thc voters of the Stat" of South Carolina to support them, know ing that their election will give us wise, hones-. energetic administration of tin Stale Qovernmentj and that they-will, n - girdles? of tlmir private interests, or ll.' private interests of any set of men. make i; choir4business to repair, to i-lie extent of their ftjbilitv. 1 h?- iiiou-iv.; lue ijudv -lotiLit; oas BUtTeretTby wa<te. extravagance, frau?! anet impotency.

South Carolin;?, is yet intensely amusing. The Bortors, of course, all belong to thc Bowen faction; and thc Maclfoy (betlan, backers of Moses, swore io break np their gathering in a row. But ibis time thc Uowenites wcro too smart for.thom. They brought over from thc Sea Island a regiment of dusky tillers of the sob. ali sturdy adherents of Bowen, and arranged them in solid phalanx around the sjK-ak or's stand, thus frightening the Mackoy itca from going thc length of their in structions and dispersing the meeting. The latter, however, established a whis key stand in thc immediate neighbor hood, and under tbeiuiluenceof frequent; potations of tangle-foot, kept up such a running tiro of interrogatories and in terruptions as turned thc whole aflair into ridicule, contempt and failure Tom-? lb ison, Corbin, Whipper, Gaillard, Saw yer ?nd Tim Hurley were the speakers. Tho High Priest, Orr, was not present. Each was received with a rumpus ol hoots, yells and vulgarity. Two or three had to relinquish the Attempt in dispair. The constant interrogatories, jeers and ejaculations were at once coarse, violent and amusing. Cyrus Gaillard, a negro, was received with cries, of " Coiue down, you black sucker, and sb^t your d-d mouf!" "Come down herc, you black devil, and let iiie,pnnch you !" To which' Mr. Gaillard would reply, "Kf you dou't want to hear- me,,/?/, and don't loaf bout befe no longer." The white speakers were all violently insultod ; and the facetious Tim Hurley was thc only ono who could hold bis ground. Tim npon being asked, "How abou: buying th.c Legislature?" answorci, "Shut up, I don't want to buy you, bo cause there is sonic meat that stinks so bad that oven / don't want to buy it !"

EPTTOK,-I agr?e with your Rail rqad correspondent in your issue of the 22d, that nearly every land-holder in this County has a large surplus upon which he is paying almost ruinous taxes, and that every land-holder along the proposed line of Railroad could, with a oertainty of realizing profit^, subscribe one-fourth of said real estate to a road, provided the larfd is assessed at two-thirds ofits value before the road has an existence. It is plain to the understanding that the land would bo increasod in value from fifty to one hundred per cent, thus paying, by increased value, more than the subscription ; and your correspondent is right when he says that tito building of a road, upon the plan proposed, would* bo a moncy-makibg business to each subscriber, particularly as tho terms of subscription shall be, that each subscri ber shall have the' privilege of redeem ing his land, at assessed value, when'the bonds issued upon the basis of these lands become duo. And further, as your correspondent says, thore wi'l be no in? torruption to the cultivation of these lands until the bonds mature. Tn fact, if the plan is examined carefully it will be found that a Road can be built and* commence operations as a road, without one dollar of indebtedness,-a thing that bas not happened herotoforo in ?ny en terprise of the kind. A road from Pine House Depot to, say Ninety-Six, without a dollar's of indebt edness when finished, would be a novel thing, but it can bo made a real i t}'. If] such is tho fact, and it can bo domonstra tod that thore is moro idle real estate along thc lino from Pine Uouse to Nine ty-Six than would build two narrow gauge roads, thou lot it be done. lint. Mr. Editor, your correspondent bas made this mistake, in my opinion, ?lo bas attempted to cover too ranch . round, at once, tb start a successful en s-i'rprise.

Now, let ns wo how this would work In the first place Augusta would opon her eyes, and perhaps ber purse. Say riie present tormhus of thc road is nt Xincly-Six.

Tho up-eoun- J try produce is tocDio down any hov.', and 1 it mil bu in contiuuication with two markets, Charlcsta and Augusta; and it would not take arreat augur to foretell in this case. Here the conclusion is that aid from Augsta would be certain. . The writer has inversed with many persons in thc uppr portion of Ncwbcr- 1 ry, and thc Saludando ol' Laurens, and they all say that Railroad from Au gusta to Ninety-Si v?ould be quite .suffi cient for Ahem at jesent. We of lodge-1 u field all know wh what tenacity the people of Lauron;and Newberry bold on lo Augusta. IN reasonable therefore, co snpppso thatlargo subscriptions, either in mon ev olands, would be forth-1 tl coining, and tin .subscription in Use Ninety-Six portli of Abbeville would bo largo certain!; Under the circustanees then I believe we aught to raisithc stock within tho joints indicated.Call the, stockholders ogethcr and conDl that portion of the road at present, id wait for futuro dc- u\ vclopments, sui as the Blue 'Ridge ni Road &e By tk road, we will bo' in communication Ith the Air Line, and 0j perhaps at someituro day Cincinnati!

In accordance with apreviousannounce- ' mem^jnade at a former meeting, and in thc ijigersjof the jj?oining Counties, a meeting was heldWthe 26th ult., at Cog lihaafs Chlir.ch,, in the D^jafk Coiner, '.ih behoof <he Greenwood anc^'Augult/Bi Rail &a?y* " j| j? A'^n^?nary nifleting^cjf^ citia^ had ripen called on the Wat, at wh'it?h Mr. J. D. Talbert was elected to preside on the 29th, and Dr. T. fe Jennings to net as Secretary. On thc ila>;;appointed thc neighboring country turned oui-tnma/tsc. ah rt tf?ero were a goodly number of persons pres ent from arti.sUw$ ta/ftkidinf rr.anyfrom the adjoining SJatt of Georgia. M?, IWoerfctook* tiio?bair?anfl. after calling the meeting tq order, said that ho felt the responsibility resting upon him, and would have dpsir^d that another, older and more experienced than, h?, should have been selected to preside over1 so important a meeting, though none could have been found who had taken, and would continue to take;- greater in terest in its ooject than he. He again re minded them, in glowing terms, of the innumerable heneftts th?t would accrue to them upori 'the 'construction of the Road, and pointed ?ut to them their mel ancholy ftite should their scheme fail, or be too long delayed. He urged them, then, iritforcible terms, to come forward like men that appr<f|ated their true in terests, and subscribe liberally to the commendable*Vork in view. ? The Chairman then introduced Dr. W. D. Jennimgs as the first speaker of tho day. The Doctor's remarks were brief,, but pointed. Ho said, that, although his present placet of residence was Edge field .VTillage, yet ho still lived ip thc Dark, t?or?or,'that his heart was with them in their endeavors, and l\e luid great faith in their ultimate success. Ho had the tact to address a considerable portion bf his remarks to the ladies, a large number of whom were present, appreciating as ho did their influence in ihisj|as well as* all other terrestrial undertakings. His speech commanded the -attention of tho assembly, and was?recelved with tile ap probation, that whatever comes from him, alwa/s is, in his native country. Gen. P. H., Bradley^ from Abbeville,, who'has been a zealohs laborer in behalf of the Road from tho inception of tho ' design, was next introduced. In hisv usual calm and dignified style, he began ' one of thc most practical Railroad, speech es that it was ever the good fottune of any audience to near. Ho made no at-; tempt at ornateness,' but spoke a?* to men? whom he thought were fn enrne^it. ' Ile showed then tho favorable auspices undofe which the enterprise had been commented ; thal fhero was little or no opposition, and i tiru proceeded toansvvr most completely what lew objections hud bfferi raised ; hoc nvincAdthosowhode dined io aid i?, iKi'i?tjfec they '.vere unable, that tliey wore aijic ; tlicsc wl>o.objeeted that it wu* a. short linc, and vdould not pay dividends, that lt would nbs rcinai? ? short iino, and in any event would pay them ; those wno objected because it would take trade (Mt of the S?ate, that that was a cogent reason why they should build it. He showed them that it would open a qujek communication with Au-] gusta, which was one of the best markets In the world, and rapidly becoming au important manufacturing town. Gen. Bradley then went into calculation, ex hibiting the cost of grading, timbering and ironing pur mile ; aiid he put down the entire cost of the.' Road from Green wood}! lo where it^?ases tbe'River, at thc reasonable siim of j5709,$00. He closed bis remarks with some words to the colored pqwons fchu were present, ieaaingTUGn?To see nKnwiso manviraj to their interest to have tho road, and urging them to render whatever assis tance they could. Tii?> audience gave thc speaker their undivided attention, and showed by the eagerness with which they received his information, that they had not met for holiday purposes alone. Charles Wright, from Born's' Mines; was then introduced by thc Chairman, and followed itt tile footsteps of the pre ceding speaker, in cnumeratingthe bone tits to bo reaped from a Railroad, and urged them to build it. Afi3r ho had concluded, dinner was announced,-, and the crowd repaired to the table,.whore they wore in tli? enjoy ment of a superb barbecue, when au nh tiined cloud mada its appearance, and thc rain-soon began to fall in torrents, ami continued so to do, with brief inter vals, until latc in thc afternoon. It Was i great disappointment to all parties, as .hero were several gentlemen present to uldress them in behalf of ibo Road In spite, however, ol' the abrupt teni) i lation of tlic proceedings, the books .vero opened, and the subsoriptiotiH were ?boral aud gratifying to thc friends'of be road.
