Two routes from Sumtervillo 'to the Cain. den Branch Roai have lately been surveyed, the, survey of .the second being just camp e ted,.as we learn from a conversation with e general agent. These two, together with e route originally surveyed some two or th . years ago, make up the three: which it as proposed should be examined, for the sel e. tion of one. - The original route will not be solected,as it has been found 'to be less favorable than ii.' ther of the two recently surveyed. Itzrc. maids to select one of the latter. The last survey commences north of the village, and, passing near its termination through the summer place of Col. Moore, de. scends the hill beyond the residence. -Ac cording to *a computation made by the.engi. neer, the height of the ridge near Col. AMoore's above tide water is 313 ft. The height 'of the Camden Branch Rail 'Road is prob.4bly one hundred and forty feet. ~This m es the descent necessary 173 ft. Supposing t hat a junction is mode at a distance 'of 6 miles from the ridge, at a descent of 30 ft. permilo, a descent of 160 ft. will thus be obtained, leaving a probable excavation on the ridge of 23 ft. The necessary length of this excava. tion has not yet been ascertained, but we are inclined to believe that it would requiireto be for three-quarters of a mile, or perhaps a mile. This route is by some miles the shortest, and from Sumterville has been found toebe faVr able as far as Col. AMoore'us, where -the una voidable difficulty of a descent begins. The other route commences south of. the village and runs favorably, with a necessary descent, as far as a table of land not far from the mouth of Shanks's creek, which off'ere a good site for a depot, and from whlich it is probable that the road will have to be con tinued to the Camden Blranch by one of three routes. A selection must ho made of one of these two router'from Sumterville, and, as there is not much dii'erence between their favorable. ness, the selection will depend, in some - de gree, upon the encouragement given to the road,'along eithier of the surv'eyed routes, by subiscriptions and grants of the right of way but principally by subscriptions. We* have. .understood that the people of Clarendon, .in the - neighborhood . of the Shanks's creek route, propose to held a pub. Iictimeeting for the purpose -of considering whether they shall induce the pasage of 'the' road in that. direction by liberal wihactiptiis gn their past.9 The matter can be consid~rgI attended to, and executed, either publicly'or by each o privately.. WVe deem it our d4uty to remind ithem that whatever they, pr4gose to do must be donie quickly; for one of -the' two routes must necessarily be soon seled If they consider publie actionl on their part ad. risable,' let it be taken, and that soon; for,a e assert, on authority, that liberal subscripfins by' that pieople will, in all probability. .carry the'iMid ansong them. If-they are not dliofeI lied to hazard the probability, they can sub2 scribe" o'r oondition. They can act privitely snji according to ability, 'if indisposed to act publicly,1.They can. subscribe work, if not inoney, and perhaps both according to 'a der tain; proportion, as there in much more -sur plus work than tuoney in the'country.

TWO DAYS FOdi bT 1 S&TITy7 The tenth section of theflirstartiles of' the Constitution of the State of SoutCarolltia reads as follows, as far as regards the elecidn of Snaitors and m9mbers of the house of rf presentatives: "Senators, and members of the house ofro presentatives, shall be chosenzo.U the.secoTid Monday in October next, and the day follow4 ing; and on the same days in everyulecondyei thereaftei, In such inanner, and a 'such tidies, as are hereini direed." The report of the com ittde on eltifi, concurred in by bot-hu, a po at :n. py'llaces only'oni y r dZding the ele. tions. !This is contrary to the. contitutio,' and is a strange 'oversight by both houses. The manag'ers, rno 0oubt, have disregarded the report in this respect ;and regarded the constitution. The-Iidslature,have inadver tently endeavored to make that law which is not law. The constitution, being the law. of the'government, is consequently the law of the stae, and is superior in autlidiiti. to an un constitutional pro'vision of atnY kind r nite any form. THE CHARLESTON PARTIES.K _ The Taylor Democrats and the Cass 'Do mocrats in Charleston, having refused a com promise, have, at this late hour, brought their candidat'es for the legislature before the-pea ple of that city, while a third party, under the necess and. significant name' of "he Southern Rights Party" have also pul (prth their ticket, composed almost entirely of se lections from the two principal parties. Though not much excitement prevails in the south on the presidential question, it is high ly desirable that there should be no serious estrangement between the Charleston parties, for the sake of future and not distant union'of the whole state on the paramount question of Southern Rights. Itais still a strong hope W.ilh us and in the minds of many. in this state and, other Southern States, that South Carolina, will yet take the lead in organizing a tSouthern Conrtention, and be foremost in nullifying any and all Wilmot Provisoes. We believe the time has arrived for this de cisive measure,' and we hope'for its accom plishiment, and that the~ South will pledge "their lives, their fortunes and 'theiidsacred honor" to be equal in this union with the other members of the confederacy or to dislve it or secede from it. The pledge dnce made, it will be sustained. OnS OF TEMPERA NCE. OnThursday eveining, the. 14h instant~ Division of the Sons of Temperance was in stituted in this place, by G. . W. .P.
