Bluo Ridge Railroad--Governor's
Message.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives:
In my inaugural message, I ex?
pressed tho intention of submitting
to your honorable body a plan for tho
early completion of the Bluo Bidge
Railroad. In accordance therewith,
I now invite your earnest considera?
tion of the subject, and invoke such
action by you as shall speedily
achieve this great result.
For more than forty years, the im?
portance of uniting the "West with
the South Atlantic coast has been
urged by the leading intellects of thc
country; and many of the railroads
constructed during that period, on
both sides of the mountains, have
been built with a view to their direel
or tributary connection witli this
g-eat national highway. Roads from
ranchville to Columbia, from Co
lurubia to Greenville, Abbeville ant
Anderson, from Columbia to Spar
tanburg, from Columbia to Char
lotte, and from Charlotte to States
ville, Morganton and Asheville, ant
the several roads extending iron
Cincinnati and Louisville towart!
Knoxville, and from Knoxville to
wards the Blue Ridge, are all but tin
off-shoots of this great enterprise
Even as early as 183G, when delo
gates from niuo States assembled ii
a railroad convention at Knoxville
it was declared to be the most magni
ficent and important public wor]
projected in our country.
After mature deliberation, nnd t
critical survey by tho most distin
guished engineers, it was decided ti
locate the route between Anderson
S. C., and Knoxville, Tenn., tho dis
'tance being only 195 miles. Th
total cost of tho undertaking, it wa
estimated by Colonel Gwin, th
Chief Engineer in 1860, would nc
exceed $7,575,677. The work wa
commenced under the most favori
ble auspices, and energeticall
pressed forward until 1860, who
operations were suspended by th
tyar. At this time, thirty-four mile
of the road had been completed an
Were in running order. Much of th
grading and masonry in the remaii
ing territory of South Carolin?
Georgia and North Carolina was als
finished, so that tho work may no
be said to be more than half con
pleted. In this connection, it :
proper to state that the grading j
South Carolina alone is nearly equi
to the whole grading in North Can
lina and Tennessee; the bridge an
arch masonry in South Carolina :
nearly equal to all the bridge ar
arch masonry of the remainder i
the road; while the tunnels in Soul
Carolina exceed nearly all tho tu
neling on the rest of the linc.
The sum expended upon th
gigantic work is $3,287,258-abo
bali the estimated cost of the who
road, and there has been incurred
debt of only $230,000, besides int
P rest, which is secured by an issno
first mortgage bonds. The State h
subscribed and paid in State bon
$1,310,000. Tho city of Chariest?
has subscribed and paid in city sci
$1,019,000; so that the State ai
city are interested in the fortunes
the road to the amount of abo
$3,000,000. This estimate inolud
unpaid interest which has accru
upon the bouda. The railroad co
Iiany likewise own 70,000 acres
and, and have tho promise, fi<
citizens living along tho route,
800,000 acres more aa soon as t
work is resumed. This land will,
its completion, become very vail
ble. Is it wise financial polioy
the State, by withholding the fart!
aid required, to hazard a sale of I
as?ete of the road by the trust
nuder the first mortgago bonds, a
permit some rival enterprise to <
i
joy the benefit so nearly within oar
reach?
The advantages of the Blue Ridge
Road over any other that has been
projected are manifest.
1st. It is the shortest line through
the mountains from tho seaboard to
tho Ohio River. It must, therefore,
always command both trade and
travel. Tho great West exports
corn, wheat, flour, bacon, lard, to?
bacco, whiskey, lime, salt, mulos and
cattle. Theso find an outlet through
New York and Baltimore on the ono
side, and Mobile and New Orleans
on tho other. At the present time,
bacon may be found in Anderson
which was shipped from Cincinnati
to Wheeling, thence to Baltimore,
thence lo Charleston, and thence to
the interior-a dist HUCO of more than
1,600 miles. Were tho Blue Ridge
Railroad completed, the distance
from Anderson to Knoxville would
be only 195 miles, ond from Knox?
ville to Cinoinnati less than 300
miles, making a total of 495 miles,
and Riving in travel and expense
1,000 miles. To illustrate this item
of expense, corn which in Columbia
before the war cost one dollar a
bushel, could be bought just across
tho mountains in Tennessee for
twenty cents.
2d. During tho winter months,
Northern roads aro frequently ob?
structed by snow, and business is
seriously interrupted. At no time is
such a casualty likely to occur in the
softer climate of these Southern
States. Our ports will always bo an
outlet, through which the West can
supply tho markets of tho world, and
receive in return not only tho wealth
of distant peoples, but tho rice aud
cotton of our own fertile fields. Ter?
minating, as the road will, upon our
coast at Charleston and Port Royal,
it has a further material advantage
over those lines which terminate
upon the Gulf of Mexico. Herc tho
freighted ship may proceed direct to
sea. Thero she must round thc
capes of Florida, and on counter tho
increased difficulties and dangers of
navigation, consuming time, and
swelling tho cost of transportation
and insurance.
3d. The Blue Ridge Railroad pass?
es through a country rich in re
sources of every kind. The soil is ol
unequalled fertility, and adapted to
nearly all profitable species of ogri
culture. Gold, silver, iron, coal ant
copper minos abound, and only wail
to bo tupped by the hand of industry
to add their vast stores to the wcnltli
of tho nation. Employment maj
thus bo furnished to thousands o:
sturdy laborers from every portion o
Christendom; emigration will bo en
cournged; hitherto unsettled country
will bo opened to enterprise; on:
water-courses will be peopled ; manu
factories will rear their pleasan
shapes; villages will expand inti
towns and towns into cities; businesi
will thrive mid its pursuits bocomi
more diversified; and, in short, tin
whole State will feel tho pulses of i
new lifo throbbing through thi
great artery of trado.
4th. Tho Blue Ridge Railroad wil
be the feeder of every other railroai
in South Carolina, and a largo am
remunerative local business mus
supersede the present stagnation
Charleston and Columbia, as com
mercial centres of the State, are no
only to be bene?tted, but Port Roy
ai, with its best harbor on th
Atlantic coast between Pensacol
and tho Chesapeake, must become
railroad centre, from which import
will bo distributed to tho North
West and South, a harbor wherei:
ships will likewise be gathered froi
every quarter of tho world, to receiv
at that terminus of this great high
way the freight which tho West an
South would exchange for tho pro
ducts of the old world, and the Eas
aud West Indies. It is well know
to commercial men that, during th
wintor season, theprico of transpori
ation to points North of Capo Hatt<
ras is minny doublo that paid o
shipments to Southern ports.
5th. Tho building of tho Blu
Ridge Railroad is of vast milit?t
and political importanco to tl]
Union. Aside from tho sympath
naturally existing between agriou
t ural sections like tho West au
South, and strengthened as it mu
bo by all the ties of trade, the nece
sity of a great air lino across tl
continent- in this direction, wit
Charleston and Port Royal for i
objoctive points, is too great to 1
ignored by the General Governmen
and I feel confident that Cojgre
will give its earnest consideration
an enterprise which may add i
much to the military aud post
faoilities of the country. Such
Western connection across tl
mountains has always been regardi
as a political and military neoessit
scarcely less important than tl
commercial wealth and prosperity
that would result from tho construc?
tion of the road.
This was tho view taken, even
during tho administration of Mr.
Monroe, when his Secretary of War
had a survey mado through tho iden?
tical gap in tho mountains through
which tno Blue Bidge Bailroad will
pass, with the intention of cutting a
canal between tho head-waters of tho
Savannah aud Tennessee Rivers, bo
fore the day of railroads.
In tho event of a foreign war, it
would bo of vital importance to tho
Government to have a naval station
at Port Royal, whore there is depth
of water and room abundant to float
tho largest fleets of tho world. From
this point to Cincinnati is almost an
air lino, and tho shortest route to
the great heart of tho nation.
Such are somo of the benefits
which must accrue to the State and
country from the construction of
this great thoroughfare. Upon you,
as legislators, depends tho comple?
tion of the work. You may render
aid which, in sixty or ninety days,
will permit operations upon the road
to bo resumed, and, onco resumed,
we may confidently look for encou?
ragement to the capitalists of the
country, if not to the public treasury
itself. But whatever is done by you,
should bo done promptly. Georgia
and North Carolina aro surrounding
us with a net-work of railroads, the
object of which is to divert both
trade and travel from our midst.
They aro our competitors for West?
ern commerce, and, if wo art idle,
they will succeed. Virginia bas
loaned ber credit to encourage rail?
road enterprises, to tho extent of
$12,000,000; Georgia has expended
moro than 85,000,000 upon her State
road alone; North Carolina, $9,000,
000; and Tennessee, to concentrate
trade within her borders, bas granted
near $30,000,000 in guaranty of the
bonds of various railroads. South
Carolina has also been liberal in the
past; and yet, with all ber liberality,
her credit has been so sacredly
guarded, that her bonded debt at this
time (exclusivo of tho war debt)
amounts to only $5,107,215. Tho
interest in arrears and due on this
sum, on tho 1st of January, 1809,
will bo only $564,136. This is exclu
sive of tho bills receivable authorizec
by tho Act of 18G5, not more thar
$300,000 of which aro likely to gc
into general circulation. To meei
these liabilities of the State-namely
tho accumulated interest, and to ro
deem tho bills receivable-the Legis
laturo has authorized u loan o
$1,500,000. It will thus be seen tba
the total bonded debt of tho State oi
the 1st of January next, after tin
payment of interest due and the re
demption of tho bills receivable
assuming that the loan of $1,500,001
recently authorized is all put upoi
the market, which is not likely to b
tho case-will be tho comparative!
small sum of $6,907,215.
With a basis of $300,000,000 ii
real and personal property, subject ti
taxation, it is evident that, with ni
assessment of only three mills upoi
the dollar, tho interest annually nc
crning upon the above debt, togethe
with the current expenses of th
State, may bo promptly met. Whe
it is remembered that new and valu
able enterprises aro being dove!
oped-that capitalists from the Nort
and West aro seeking profitable it
vestments in South Carolina; tho
our lands nro being cultivated undc
an improved system of agriculture
which promises to yield moro abm
dant results than heretofore; that th
recent discovery of phosphate bed
along the coast has openod a ne
mine of wealth, which has alread
enhanced tho valun of surroundiu
property; that au industrious an
laboring population are preparing I
come hither from various portions (
the country, bringing new strengt
and energy; that manufacturers froi
the North are turning their attentio
to the magnificent water pow<
which abounds in almost every po
tion of tho State, aud to tho extrao
iliuary facilities whereby cotton
manufactured fifteen pereent. chea]
er than at the North; that new rai
roads are being projected, aud thei
is promise of increased facilities f<
trade; that the completion of tl
Blue Ridge Railroad will, of itsel
open a ohannel of wealth, tho gran
results of which no human being ci
fully ostimate-when all these fae
are brought into review, wo cann
but look with hopeful eyes upon tl
future, and realize that South Car
lina sets forth in ber race of progre
with advantages superior to those
any of her sister Southorn States.
Having thus described tho chara
ter of the road, its importance
every interest in the State and cou
try, and made an exhibit of the fina
cial condition of tho State, and i
resources, which demonstrate your
ability to grant further aid to the un?
dertaking, I now invite your atten?
tion to the plan which I have to sug?
gest as the most feasible, as the ono
which promises tho speediest results,
and which will secure the sympathy
and ipmctical co-operation of those
capitalists of tho West, who aro as
deeply interested in tho construction
of tho road as tho people of South
Carolina. I am confident that to
effect this latter result it is only ne?
cessary to show that wo aro in earnest
ourselves, and determined to com?
pleto thc road in tho shortest timo
that energy and skill can perform tho
work.
1st. It is essential that tho Legisla?
ture shall remove tho restriction im?
posed npon tho company by tho Act
of 1854, which required the produc?
tion of proof to tho Governor of
such subscriptions or aid granted in
tho States of North Carolina and
Tennessee, as to give reasonable as?
surance of the completion of the
road. These promises of aid were
based upon a contract by contractors,
but as tho latter failed to comply
with tho terms of their contract,
South Carolina withheld her guaran?
tee of any of tho bonds of the com?
pany.
2d. With tho removal of this re?
striction, tho State should pass an
Act guarauteeiug tho bonds of tho
company to the amount of 81,000,
000, and authoring the President to
hypothecate or disposo of said bonds
in such manner as is best calculated
to secure tho im mediato resumption
of the undertaking.
Tho engineer, Col. Gwin, states
that tho entire tunneling can be
completed in ono year. Three
fourths of this work has already been
finished, and there is no reason why
the remainder may not bo completed
within tho time above specified. Tho
rolling stock can then be put upon
tho road. In less than ono year and
a half from this time, therefore, wo
may havo tho satisfaction of seoing a
through train from tho Ohio Uiver to
Charleston, and a union between two
sections of our country, which prac?
tically have been to each other as
strangers.
Reference hos already beon made
to tho importauco of this rond in a
military point of viow. Many load?
ing public men have recently urged
its construction on this ground, and
there is no doubt that Cougress is
prepared to lend a willing ear to anj'
reasonable proposition which may
promise to result in tho attainment
of so valuable an object.
I, therefore, respectfully suggest
that your honorable body shall re?
quest tho Senators and Representa?
tives of tho State, in Congress, to lay
this subject beforo that body at tho
earliest practicable moment, to tho
end that the General Government
may be induced to render such as?
sistance to the road as its importance,
in a military point of view, may jus?
tify. This assistance may bo granted
without hazard.
Bonds of tho road, endorsed by
tho State, may bo deposited in the
United States Public Treasury, and
their equivalent in tho United States
currency bo issued to tho road,
which will thus bo put in possession
of au active working capital. E.ery
dollar expended upon tho road will
then increase tho value to tho Gene?
ral Government of tho security.
And, fiually, when the road is com?
pleted, tho Government will have a
lien upon property worth nearly
$8,000,000, for which it has really
advanced less than half that amount,
while the State will have derived the
advantago of a complete road with?
out having been compelled to pay in?
terest on tho bonds issued. In a fow
years tho vast business done upon tho
lino will enable tho company to pay
nil of its indebtedness.
This eubject is ono of tho gravest
with which wo have to deal, because
it largely involves tho material inte?
rests of the State, and promises to
contribute moro to their future de?
velopment, than nuy other public
enterprise that can be suggested.
I submit these considerations to
your honorable body, in that spirit of
earnestness which, I trust, will find a
rcspouse in your early action.
Accompanying this message, is n
memorial addressed to tho Executive
of the State, by tho President of tho
Blue Ridge Railroad, and a report on
tho condition and prospects of tho
company, prepared by the samo
officer, to both of wbioh I respectful?
ly ask your attention. Very respect?
fully, ROBERT K. SCOTT,
Governor of South Carolina.

to tho American pooplo.
2d. Amnesty for ali past political
offences, and tho regulation of tho electivo
francbiso in tho States by their citizens.
3d. Payment of tho public debt of tho
United StateB as rapidly aB practicable;
all moneys drawn from tho pooplo by tax?
ation, except so much as i? roquisito for
tho necessities of tho Government, econo?
mically administered, being honestly ap?

obligations of tho Govornmont do not

law under which they wore issued docs
not pr?vido that they shall be paid in

bo paid in the lawful money of tho United
States.
4th. Equal taxation of overy apecicB of

the Freedmen's Bureau, and all political
instrumentalities designod to Becuro
negro supremacy; simplification of tho
system and discontinuance of inquisitori?
al modes of assessing and collecting inter?

8th. Equal rights and protection foi
naturalized and native-boin citizens, al
homo and abroad; the assertion of Amen
can nationality which shall command tin
respect of foreign powers, and furnish ar
examplo and encouragement to people
struggling for national integrity, conati
tutional liberty and individual rights; am
tho maintenance of tho rights ot natural
ized citizens against tho absoluto doctrini
of immutable allegiance and tho claims o
foreign powers to punish them for allogee
crime committed beyond thoir jurisdic
tion.
In demanding these measures and re
forms, we arraign tho radical party for iti
disregard ot' right, and tho unparallelei
oppression and tyranny which have mark
ed its caroer. After tho most solemn ant
unanimous pledge of both Houses of Con
greaa to prosecute tho war exclusively foi
the maintenance of tho Government am
tho preservation of thc Union, under thi
Constitution, it has repeatedly violate?
that moat sacred pledgo, under whicl
alone was rallied that nohlo voluntce
army, which carried our flag to victory.
Instead of restoring the Union, it has
BO far as is in its power, dissolved it. ani
subjected ten States, in times of profoniu
peace, to military despotism and negri
supremacy.
It has nullified thero the right of tria
by jury; it has abolished tho habeas cor
pus, that most sacred writ of liberty; i
baa overthrown tho freedom of speech ani
tho press; it has substituted arbitrar;
seizures and arrests, and military trial
and secret Btar-chambor inquisitions fo
tho constitutional tribunals; it has disrc
garded, in time of peace, tho right of th
people to bo freo from searches and sei?
uro*; it has entered tho post and telegrap
offices, and even tho private rooms of ni
dividuals, and seized their private paper
and letter", without any specific charge c
notice of aflldavit, as requirod by tho oi
g an ic law; it has convertod tho Am; rica
capitol into a bastile; it has established
system of spies and official espionage t
which no constitutional monarchy of Er
rope would now dare to resort; it has ubi
lirthed tho right of appeal on importan
constitutional qiicatioiiB to tho aupreni
judicial tribunals, and threatens to eui
tail or destroy ita original jurisdictioi
which is irrevocably voatod bv tho Const
tution, while the learned Chiot Jnstic
haB boen subjected to the most atrocioti
calumnies, morely because ho would n<
prostitute hi? high office to tho aupport ?
tho falso and partizan charges proferrc
against tho President. Its corruption an
extravagance havo execcdod anythin
known in history, and by its frauds an
monopolies it has noarly doubled tho bm
den of tho debt created by tho war. It ha
Btrippod tho President of hiscoiiBtitutior
al power of appointment oven of II?B ow
Cabinet. Under its repoatod assaults, th
pillars of tho Govornmont aro rocking o
their base, and should it aneceod in Nc
vember noxt, and i nangur ato ita Proaldoni
wo will meet, as a subjected and conquere
pooplo, amid tho ruins of liberty and th
scattered fragments of tho ConBtitutlor
and wo do declaro and resolve that, eve
Binco tho people of the United State
threw off all eubjoctlon to the Britis
crown, the privilogp and trust of snffrag
have belonged to tho soveral States, an
have been granted, regulated and coi
trolled exclusively by the political powc
of each Stato respectively, and that any
attempt by Congress, on any pretext what?
ever, to doprivo any Stato of this right, or
to interfere with its exercise, is a flagrant
usurpation of power which can find no
warrant in the Constitution: and, if sanc?
tioned by tho people, will subvort our form
of Government, and can only end In a1 -
single centralized and consolidated Go?
vernment, in which tho separate existence
of tho States will bo entirely absorbed, and
an unqualified despotism ho established
in placo Of a Federal Union of co-equal
States; and that wo regard thc reconstruc?
tion Acts (so-called) of Congress as such
aro usurpations, and unconstitutional, re?
volutionary, and Void; that our soldiers
and sailors, who carried the flag of our
country to victory against a most gallant
aud determined foo, must over bo gratc
lnlly remembered, and all tho guarantees
given in their favor must bc faithfully car?
ried into execution.
That the public lands should bo distri?
buted as widely as possiblo among tho
peoplo. and should ho disposed of either
under tho pre-emption of homestead lands,
and sold in reasonable quantities, and to
nono but actual occupants, at tho mini?
mum price established by the Government.
When grants of tho public lands may be
allowed, necessary for the encouragement
of important publio improvements, tho
proceeds of the sale of such lands, and not
tho lands themselves, should bo so ap?
plied.
That tho President of the United States,
Andrew Johnson, in exercising tho power
of his high office in resisting' tho aggres?
sions of Congress upon tho constitutional
rights of the States and tho peoplo, is en?
titled to tho gratitudo of tho whole Amen .
can people, and in behalf of the Democra?
tic party, we tender him our thanks for his
patriotic efforts in that regard.
Upon this platform, tho Domooratic
party appeal to every patriot, including all
tho conservative clement and all who de?
sire to support tho Constitution and re?
store the Union, forgetting all past differ?
ences of opinion, to unite with us in tho
present great struggle for tho liberties of
the people; and that to all such, to what?
ever party they may have heretofore bo
longed, we extend the right hand of fel?
lowship, and hail all such co-operating
with us as friends and brethren.
