Personal
   We had the pleasure, yesterday of meeting with Col. Wm Johnston, the accomplished President of the Augusta & Columbia and Charlotte & South Carolina Railroad Companies. We are gratified to learn that a fair prospect obtains of a short and speedy connection with our friends in Columbia. About four hundred hands are at work on the two ends of the A. & C. Railroad while the planters of Edgefield are ready to complete the central portion. This road will be of immense service to the people and Government and has been too long overlooked.
