Epitob : The action of tlio Gohlsboro' C'mi vcnlion has dono much towards aecuring the C'linr ter of the Central Hail Road and harmonizing the two sections of the State. The delegates from thia place-deserve the thanks of our citizens, and even of the whole State. But while we are urging upon our citizens the importance of securing the fj Lite's ap propriallon, and the consequent cona'ruclion of that important work, we should not forget that the whole amount (1750,000) necessary to sccuro the subscrip tion of South Carolina to the Manchester Road, him not been raised. It Is known thai the total omot:ni subscribed to the Manchester Road is about $060 000 leaving $70,000 to be raised before the subscription of 1200,000 by South Carolina, ond many of the in dividual subscriptions can be legally called for. This Company was organized about two yeais ago, but no definite action was laken until August, H49, when the Board of Directors, under instructions from :hc Stockholders, determined to locate the Road, and offer the contracts for stock. At this time the total subscription amounted lo 8122 200. Sulisrqnrnt ly tho Wilmington & Raleigh Rail Road Company increased the amount $100,000, and since then 1148, 000 has been raised, principally along the iinc of the Road in South Carolina. Contracts have been en tered into for the graduation of 132-miles, and for the timber for superstructure fur about GO miles ; and the work is rapidly progressing. But until wo obtain the $750,000, the Company cannot enter into any contracts for Iron, or put one foot of the Rond in operation ; and the question naturally arises, " vhert and how it I hit amount lo be obtained '" I am satis fied but a small portion of it can be raised in South Carolina. The people on that poi tio:i of tho line have taken most of ihe contracts oli'tred, end, waiv ing the legal right to pay tlic subscription njirc yeart, hove gone to work, and will pay iht- tniibt of it in two years, or has time. Columbus county has al ready subscribed a larger amount, in proportion to her meant, than any people on the face of the Globe have ever done, and, consequently, but little can bo done in this County. In Brunswick county, but lew per sons reside aloni; the line of the Road, mid therefore we cannot expect a great increase in this County. The prcient imbtrri)ilion of the town of Wilmington is short of 1200,009, but ut one time exceeded 1250, 000, and I have no doubt, if it again be raised lo thai amount, the remainder can be raised slonj; the line of the' Road -i.ay, xrould nlm i t pledge myself to guatanlet it. Cannot a Company of one hundred Individuals be found in this town, who will como forward and secure, beyond tho Bliadow of a doubt, the construction ol :1ns work, upon winch dipcnds the succeas of thu Wilmington di Raleigh Rail Road, and the prosperity of the town? li wciuil to obtain that amount, we may ubandun all li.ipe oi ever see ing that work in operation, and the labor I'.ius fur bestowed will all be in vain. Recent advices from the Sou'h Carolina legisla ture leave no hope of a fuvoruUc actum ul tlui body on the application of the Company tu remove the restrictions lo Ihe appropriation; tin re i no pius pact of a successful negotiation for lion fur Mai j,. inK the amount of alock ; and the only .penunve presented, is lo raise the required amount l,y indi vidual subscriptions ; and are the pco.luof Wilming ton not equal lo the lurk 1 4 am swam ilut un m,. presalon has prevailed among some of ihe caa ns of Wilmington, that the only object l!ie fro nds this enterprise, in South Carolina, have in viiw, m ,, construct the work to the Pea Dee River; umi I know, too, that nioro importanco was given to the rumor because it originated with an otlicer ui the Company, whwaa feelingv and interests were ndvi rev lo this town and State; but I am equally certain, from an vUimal aequainlanct with tne people, thai b baser alander wbb never inveoied or promulgated. The people of that State embraced the opportunity you offered them to join In the construction of tin work ; they are acting In good faith, and lie w ho Ihinks otherwise, doea iheiu the grossest Injutiice. They accepted the hand of fellowship you extended lo them to aid lo uniting I wo Slates by aa Iron band, and they are atlll true and acting lo strict accordance with their profeaslont. If the work fails, Ihs bUiue cannot be Lid oo their shoulders. Their intent! leads them to desire the construction of the Eastern equally with tha Weatero end of this Road. Their object la to efL-ct a communication by which then produce cso be transported to a market by the cheap tat way. The cost of transportation on i Rsll Road, niMsmi all things elie being equal, depends upon the dis tance, and the grides, or iho load tliut can bo,c(tn veyed by a given amount of power. ; Appllriff this to the Manchester Road, it will bo seen that th dis tances to Wilmington and Charleston, from Maya's Turnout,' neor tho ceiitro of Sumter District, are equal; but taking into consideration Ihe favorable grades (IS feet per tulle) from the Great Pee Dee River to Wilmington, It may be safely asserted, that the cast of transportation, from th Junction (Man chester) to Wilmington, will bo but little, if any, greater than to Charleston. In connection with this, it should bo recollected ihtit all produce, after lis arrival in Charleston, Is subjected to an additlop al coet of drnyage,' wharroge, Insurance, &c, a i mounting, on tho great staple of the South, cotton, to little less than 50 ccnia per bale, and proportional ally on nil other uilichs. , This lea heavy llpnt, and will be entirely avoided by the Manchester Koad. ;' The merchants of Camden and Columbia will bo en abled to ship to New York, via Wilmington, til a lest, cost than by Charleston ; and it is confidently be lieved that many of ilium will avail themselves of this route. This will afford tho merchants of Witt niington, al least, an opportunity of comptling w hi. J Charleston foi most "of tin- produ'-o of Western South ('uroliiKY, coming by the Grecnvillo and ChajM lotto Rail Ru.ide. Fur the trade nlong the line they can have no successful competition. It said that Wilmington is not a cotton market. 1U TIlriPARKMAN MURDER.
