A writer 10 the Knoxville Times recon-.
mend The abandonment Of the Charleston
and Cincinnati Rail Road, or at least that
portion of it east Of Knoxville. This re-
commentator is based upon the ground
that there will be very speedily in opera
ton line of Rail Roads from Knoxville 10
Charleston, by better and shorter route
reason which seems to us to be unanswer.
able. The following is the present state OF
the work: From Charleston to Augusta,
1876 miles finished and IN use from Au-
gusta to Greensborough, Geo. 100 miles,
finished and in use from Greensborough
to Madison, 90 miles, graded, but not laid
with rail from Madison to Decature, 80
miles nothing yet done; from Decatur, TO
Red Clay on the Tennessee line, lis r.lles,
100 very nearly graded, and heavy force
at work from Red Clay to Knoxville, 81
miles, 10 will be graded in six weeks, and
there is heavy force on The remainder, and
the delivering of timber for ruling progress
sing rapidly. Thus we see (says The writer
in the Times, J" that Of the whole distance
from Knoxville to Charleston, (5l0 m'les)
nearly one-half is in use, while 426 miles
are actually either laid with the rails. or are
ready graded to receive tnem." If the

as to open communication with the Ohio

much more desirable object, both for the
commercial interests of Charleston and the
profit Of the stockholders, than by opening
a second Rail Road line between Charles.

A NEW MOVEMENT.

I, has ofen been remarked that when
valuable discoveries are made public, almost
every body wonders why they were not
thought of before--so obvious, generally is
the utility Of the new project, and SO simple
are the means Of its application. Such is
the case with the plan announced III the fol.
lowing paragraph, which We copy from q
paper printed in Scotland. The combna.
ton of canal and railroad which it proposes
is so evidently practicable and advantage.
Gus that one can hardly understand why il
was not adopted much earlier in the age Of
railroad operations. N. Y. Com. Adv.
On Monday and Tuesday the following
novel experiment, of locomotive steam. pow
er was tried on the Firth and Clyde canal.
Mr.. JOHN M'NEI, the civil engineer Of the
Clyde navigation, has had constructed on
the banks of The canal railway upon blocks,
on which locomotive engine has been put,
which was used on the above named days
instead of horses, to draw the canal passage
boats, and succeeded in taking them the
whole distance Of the line at the rate oil eight
miles an hour. The company having as
certained the full success ofthe experiment,
will construct a tramway along the canal
bank, and will be able 10 take their passage
boats in future a, tho rate ofeighteen miles
an hour.

SNOW AT BUFFALO.

The Buffalo Journal of,he 2sth ult. says
the equinoclial storm of the day preceding
wound up with fall of snow, as liberal in
quantity as it was untimely in season. 1t

perfect congelation. At distance from
the lake, on the highlands, the Journal says,
the depth Of snow was, al least six or eight

CAUTION TO rHouGHTLEss DAUGHTERS.
"A young lady, the daus hter of CONNECTION
er of Philadelphia, lately married against the
will of her father. The marriage was con.

was the effect upon his feelings when informed
OF it he became deranged and in that state,
delib rately purchased pistols and shot his
daughter with one of them through the head,
causing instant death.
A correspondent Of the Alexandria Gazette
over the signature Of H. c. Mel" furnishes
an explanation Of the report published some
time since of duel between J. Sewcll Jones
Of North Carolina, and Mr.. Wilson of New
York. While the writer was at the Dismal
Swamp Hotel Mr.. Jones entered in state Of
apparent purturbation, and told him -con6den.
italy tha, he had just killed Wilson in duel
and asked help to make his escape. He Showed
first, copy of what purported to be the cor.
respoadence preliminary to the duel, and then
the ground where lie said It took place, meas.
ured of, and here and there stained with blood.
He then directed his friend to woman in a
neighboing house who had carried off hand
kerchief of Jones's, stained with blood, which
he feared might be produced in evidence
against him. HIS friend went to The house and
obtained the bloody handkerchief. The wo-
man also told him that the dead body had
been carried off the ground by several men in
bag. At Jones's suggestion, his friend then
took his clothes and name, and went to Nor
folk where the report of the duel had already
produced great excitement. Jones by the AID
Of his friend concealed himself until he made
