Dear Sr:-Fhe Board of Directors of he So. Carolina R. R. Company not having had meeting, sli,ce the recepto of your ini iei est no letter, have been deprived of thr opportunity of presenting Il. It IS not probable however, that that Board. could more than return you their acknowledgement for Ina ing invited the public att ntlon to an enterprise to which this company must be alive as those sections of he interior more immediately interested

 Your communication, with an editorial preface, was published in the Cou. ricr, and am pleased to learn from the Editor of the COosa River Journal, that your views have attracted much attention in that quarter was somewhat famill~r, many years s nee, but when wilderness, with the country between the Warrior, Coosa and Tennessee rivers, hay ing thrice passed through It; once with a miIi- tary force on our return from the Seminole Cam. paIgn, under Gen. Jackson. l retain yiyidy the impressions which the country then made oa nae. Its mountain elavIions; their mineral wealth; it's beautiful valleys, and interesting streams, all in harmony. The coal and ron in Bleunt's valley, and all along the Tuscaloosa, then attracted In, attention, though looking more after soils, and their adaptation to the rich productions which have, and will continue to contribute to Southern prosp- rty. You have m the region of country from Rome on the Coosa, to Tuscaloosa, full as many of the ele. ments of agricultural, mineral, and manufactu- ring wealth, combined as any region of country which has come under my observation. You need but facilities of Transportation to de- veoP them-These you can obtain through Rail Roads, highways which under modern improves ments and inventions, are tbe instruments in the hands of man, to elevate into Importance and eqnaAty, regions hitherto secluded, with those, which seem to have been more favored by nature. The map confirms the statement of distances which you have given and have shown conclusively, that by Kingston. and Rome, via. Tuscaloosa to Jackson, on the Miss issippi, is not only shorter in distance, but pass es through country better calculated to feed a Rail Road, than other routes suggested.
