IEatlmatea for a Narrow Gaugo for Uta Havannah Valley Kaliranu. Ma. RDITOU: Your subscribers are grati fied, as well ss edified, by the publication of tho report of the Engineer of tho Savan nah Valley Railroad. And some of us are regretting the omission of "SupplementE," being estimates of a Narrow Gu ugo fur the same line of Road, which wo hope will prove sotnuch cheaper as to save the lino in the event of a failure to raise money enough for a Broad Gaugo. Please publish. "Supplement E," if in your power; if not, apply to tho authorities fur it, and oblige many CITIZENS. In compliance with the above request, we made application to Maj. Lee, Chief Engineer of tho S. V. R. R., Tor "Supple ment E" of his Report to the Board of Directors, in response to which he has furn ished us the following, which wc gladly lay before our readers as a matter of general in Iformation : ESOINKKB'H OFFICE 8. Y- R- R-, \ ANPEHSON, S. C., Aug, 4,1880. j Mn. EPITOB:. By request, I sen". "Sup plement E" of my report of survey of 8. V. R. R" giving an estimate af cost of tho narrow gauge (3 feet) on this line. It will be ohsorved that tho grades and eurvatlou uro the same as thone used in thc survey made fur this road on thc broad gauge sys tem. Tho est!tuntc? presented may be large ly reduced by using such grades and curves as aro perfectly practicable on t'io narrow guuge system. For it is a fact that cannot be denied, that a narrow gauge engine can haul a greater toad than a broad gauge en gine of tho sumo woight, over the samo grados and curves j not that the la*B of friction and gravity are Inoperative when applied to tho narrow gauge, but that the character of tho cars on the two systems are so entirely different as to render this state ment practically true. A single example of actual practice will best show this : On tho l'en ver and Rio Grande R. R. (narrow gauge) a train of twenty cars re ceives tho freight from the Kansas Pacifie R. R. (broad rpugej ont uf sixteen cars.. Broad OftUira (rain-IO cara : Weight of car, ki tons each, 130 tons ; load, 10 tons each, 100 tons ; weight of cars and load 290 tons. Narrow gauge train-20 cars: Weight of car, 3 tons each, 00 tons ; load, 81 tons each, 130 tons; weight of carn and load, 220tons. The broad gaugo cars ore 30 feet long, lo cars-48Q feet. ?he Nftrrow Eft'lB0 ?HtT aUi 24 fcpf, long, 2Q cars-4Hi fact. . It will be beru seen that the narrow gauge train is the same length (shorter because tue engine and tender arc ?hurter than the broad gauge and tender) as the broad gauge train, mid the gross weight Is seventy-s?x tons leas. Thus Jt will bc seen that tho narrow gauge onjiinepftn traverse lilghp? grades ?md ?hnr?er curvos, hauling t|,p same iiomunt of freight, than tho broad, gaugo.

Ms. Kunos : The duties of an enumera tor, and tho length of tin e .Allowed for the performance of their di.tie-., were not in congruity. The first great object of the census is to obtain a correct account of the population, their ?ge, sex, color and civil condition, /.il the other features of tho census followed as adjuncts to the popula tion schedule. Ken oe all crop reports par* took of tho natura of-a double entry, and considering the fact that but few farmers keep anything like exact accounts of the yield of their various crops, acreage, Sec., much leas of their dalry and poultry pro duite. ?he performance of this duty became, tedious and difficult. In regard to tho leading crops of colton, corn and wheat, the difficulty was not so great, except as to acreage, but in thc oat and all truck cropr the guessing was very wild. In tilla depart ment, particularly, no little attention was given to tho cultivation, and the.pmducts, generally, together with tho disastrous effects of the dry weather, that the report in reference to root and forage crops was very meagre. In many, many oases the report for a farm or family would be two or three bales of cotton, from tw-iity to fifty bushels of corn, a few bushels of wheat, and no truck crops ?t all scarcely. Al though there were an abundance of chil dren to be fed, them were no potatoes or peas or sorghum to report to feed them with. Cotton, cotton is tho leading orop, to the neglect of almost every other crop. Potatoes, sweet and Irish, are known to be two of tbe cheapest and most-valuable croi>s irised, whether for the support of man ot beast, and yet the acreage allowed for each or both on most of tho farms enu merated, except, perhaps, in ono case, did not reach moro than a half acre. Ono gen tleman plant? largely every year of tho sweet potatoes as a cattle food for winter, and says then is nothing better ; and among children, white or colored, there ls nothing better to feed with in the tall and winter than tho potato. All acknowledge this, and yet tl? mania for the cotton crop la so f;rcut that, although there ?3 moro money ii an aero of potatoes if put upon tbs mar ket than there is in tm acre, of colton, thu infatuation for cotton reigns supreme. Ono gentleman showed me one acre in \vuterinelona.;t\id by about the middle of Juno, with ;f prospect fur a largo yield of the luscious fruit: Some years altico ho hud rented a farm at ono hundred dollars per year for five years, and had paid the rent every year by tho Bale or watermelons ?;rown upon one acre of land. Of course, its own family were amply supplied with this great luxury, lie finds it easier to cul tivate an aero in walcrm?~ons .thonjn cot ton, and the profit much larger.' Besides, the income from tho watermelon patch comes in at a time when other crops are not ready for tho market. Tho poa crop, both for food and forego, ts unsurpassed. Besides the yield of l esa, the vine, if left upon the ground, is known to be an excellent fertilizer. And so with . other truck crops that might be enumerated. And yet the drift ia for cotton, cotton, to the exclusion of every thing else, thus en tailing upon themselves and families a do {irivatlon of most of the comforts of a good iving, for the sake of making cotton to buy everything else -with. Such n policy, ff persisted th, must result disastrously to the whole country. On many firms on the ; Saluda side of tho township th? watermelon patch maintain!, an Important position among thc cultivated crops, and so it might be upon all. To say nothing of the m onoy value, which depends largely upon year convenience to market, for the comfort of your own family letevory fermer, whether tenant ar owner, have hin own-melon patch. Ry sq doing tho Cemnto?on to pilfer from others is removed, and thus thegood morals of the neighborhood preserved. MANCFACrUIltNU INDUfiTMCS.
