The South Carolina Exilroad Oompany. In our issue of Wednesday we pub lished the pr<.oedinga of a Commit tee of the . Senate on . tho matters of the freight charges of the South Caro lina "Railroad, between Camden and Kingsvillo. These proc edin s were based upon a' compl-afiC Inade by a merohant of .tho fort..or place. The South Qarolina lallros Company is the pioporty of a-latge num br of our citizens, who are poor; many have saved but little else from the wrook of the war. It ia i t portant to. them that the %a'u3 of thela property should not b6 unfavatably affected by representations ivt,corregti.u point of fact, or of.facts gredtlyt'qxRgggrated and distqrted, to gratify personal feel. ing, or to promote self6h ends. We know those who have been entrusted with the manngement of this property. Wea know, also, what Ioborr and diffi culties they have had 'to encounter in providing for the public a highway, and aocoimodatious not inferrior to those onjo-ed in any section o. the Southern oon try. * We -know further I that it is claimed, and we believe, justly, that their rates of freight and pasange are to-day lower thin any in the State or near it. Still we hear this clamor kept up, and its continu ance forces us to coaelude th.,t there is soathiting, more in it - than appoars on the miurfae. To'do justice, there furo, to all parties, we 'sought out itnformation from those whom we re garded authorized abd able to furnish it. and iseertain the facts of this case to be simply thoso: That the parties who complain in this case have never appronoid'tho'Dirootors of the COi pany with any statoment of their grevances; that the South Carolina I tijroad Company has rno quchl charg. es per 100 1ouuds upon any of its freight tarifA nas are stated in the reports; that its charges for freight from Camaiden to Kingaville %re precise ly the" emo, as they arj fo:r slniilar distances fruom Charleston, from Ce= Jumina, or from.Auagusta,. Now we conffers, with these state mnerts befdrme us, 'w' are at -a loss to comprehen4 ther neoessity of .the pro. oeeding to which we are refering.

We have felj all the indlgbatton of our nature iroused at the recital of the acta of Nero, ;f Dyonislus, and of Oalignla. We have arisen from the perusal .of the histories of Libterty's struggles against Tyranny, and thank. ed God that we lived in a land, where Freedotm seen ed a natural' growth, and .Tyrasny could bever, flourish. With heartfelt pride, we havelooked up 'toethd old flag"'?as the emble 'of all that wasgood and grand in politi 9*1 govergpg. Its "broad stripes and bright" ttra, ', tIenta .it un speagabl . beauty to patrictio eynq. And, proudti of Eirth's' titlet; was deemed to be "an Ameian citi xen." But all this. ba past; and the gIry of otir 6o'oatry bmas dipeted. The sceptre of Israel J!p passed into alien hands., The soil has become choked with weeds of noxious growth. '-The old flag," no longer the emblem of frecdonm, but "a flaunting lie," seems but to proteot Tyranny and villainy ia their evil machinations. The "beacon light" has gone out and left us in thedarkness of oppression; and "the old ship of State," dashed about up60 the breakers of Radical ism, threatens instantly to go to piec And d- idstallth' tnrnmifVl and treatonwg danger, io people stand unmoved, unmindful of the evil ;which is portending for them. Day after day Despotism moves on, slowly but surely, treading down, one after another, the liberties and the institu tions of the country, blotting out the landmarks of the Constitution, and sEtting up Its crown in every State to be respected, obeyed, yea worshipped, by the blind apathotio fools, who can see no dauger in the instant mutter ings of thunder or the vivid lightning flashes which illumine the' Politioal sky and betokon.the coming storm. Oh, that wp had the power to waken them' frodi their dreadful l4thaigy. We would thunder it in "their ears,. that American Republicanism is well nigh gone, and Imperialism will soon assume its place.
