The Charleston and Cincinnati Rail
road.-A writer in the Knoxville Times
recommends the abandonment of the
Charleston and Cincinnati Railroad, or al
least that portion Of it east of Knoxville
This recommendation is based upon the
sro1nd 'uat there will be very speedily in
operation line OF railroads from Knox
vile to Charleston by better and shorter
route; reason which seems TO us to hr
unanswerable. The following is The pre-
sent stale the work: From Charleston
10 Augusta, l36 miles finished and in use
from Augusta 10 Greensbouugh. Geo,
100 miles, finished and in Use from Greens
borough to Madison, 20 miles: graded. blIl
not laid with rail; from Madison 10 Deca-
inr, 80 miles, norhing yet done; from De,
caturto Red Clay, on The Tennessee line,
Us miles, 100 very nearly graded, aud a
heavy force AT work: from Red Clay IN
Knoxville, 81 miles, 20 will he graded in
sixweeks. and there is heavy force on
the remainder, and The delivering Of timber
for railing progressing rapidly. Thus We
see (says The writer in the Times,) "tIlat
of the whole distance from Knoxville 10
Charleston, (5IO miles) nearly ohe-haII
is in use. while 526 miles are actually eth
er laid with the rails, or are ready graded
10 receive them" If the Charleston and
Cincinnati Rail Road Company would
emplby their resources in making a Road
from Knoxville to Cincinnati, so as to
open communication with the Ohio rlv-
er. it seems 10 US thai they would effect a
much more desirable objecI, bolh for the
commercial Interests Of Charleston and the
profit of the Stockholders, than by open
ing second Rail Road line between
Charleston and Knoxville, their ow d icing

The Infdel Mother.
BY CHATEAUBRIAND.

How is it possible to conceive that woman can
be an atheist p? What shall prop up this reed, il
religion doth not sustain her? The feebest be-
ing in nature, even on the eve of death, or the
loss of her charms who shall support her if hel
hopes be not extended beyond an ephemeral exis.
tence? For the sake of her beauty alone, woman
should be pious. Gentleness, submission, suavity
tenderness, constitute part of the charms which
the Creator bestowed on our first mother, and to
charms of this kind philosophy is mortal foe.
Shall woman who takes delight in conceament
who never discloses more than half Of her gra-
ces and of her houghts-whom heaven formed
for virtue and the most mysterious of sentiments,
modesty and love-shall woman, renouncing the
engaging instinct of her sex, presume with rash
and feeble hands, to attempt to withdraw the thick
veil which conceals the Divinity? Whom doth
she think to please by this effort alike absurd and
sacrlegious? Does she hope, by adding her pet
ty and her frivolous metaphysics to the impreca-
tons of Spianosa, and the sophistry of a Bayle,
to give us higher opinion of her genius With
out doubt she has no thoughts of marriage, for
what sensible man would unite himself for life to
to an impious partner9
The infdel wife has seldom any ideas of her
duties; she spends her days either in reasoning
on virtue without practising its preceps, or in the
enjoyment of the tumultuous pleasures of the
world.
But the day of vengeance approaches Time
arrives, leading Age by the hand. The spectre,
with silver hair and icy hands, plants himself on
the threshold of the female Atheist she perceives
him and shrieks aloud. Who shall now hear her
voice? Her husband! She has none; long, We
ry long, has he withdrawn from the theatre of his
dishonor. Her children Ruined by an impious
education, and by maternal example, they concern
themselves not about their mother If she sur
veys the past, she behods painless waste; her
virtues have left no traces behind them. For the
first time she begins to be sensible how much
more consolatory it would have been to have a
religion. Unavailing regret When the Athe-
ist at the term of his career, discovers the illu-
sions of a false philosophy; when humiliation,
like an appalling meteor, begins to appear above
the horizon of death, he would fain return to God
but it is too late The mind, hardened by incre.
dulity, rejects all conviction.
How different the lot of the religious woman !
Her days are replete with joy she is respected,
beloved by her husband, her children, and her
household all place unbounded confidence in
her, because they are firmly convinced of the fl
deity of one who is faithful to her God. The
fate of this christian is strengthened by her hap
pness, and her happiness by her faith she be-
lieves in God because she is happy, and she is
happy because she believes in God.
