of its members, and the RIGHTEOUSNESS Of their orrie
was commonly called the Hell Club. Besides their
nightly or weekly meetings they held one grand annual
saturnalia in which each tried to excel the other in
drunkenness and blasphemy; and on these occasions
there was no star amongst them whose urid light was
more conspicuous than that of young Mr.. Archibald

his subsequent reckless dissipation.

From Horns Railroad Gazette.
VIRGINIA AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD.

1t IS proposed to construct Railroad from Lynch
burg Va, to the Tennessee line and thence to extend
1T to knoxville, in Tennessee The route Of this road
has been pronounced by engineers to be most fayor-
blesnce it crosses the Allegheny and Blue Ride noun
tams without the necessity constructing tunneand
its heaviest grades do exceed rs feet to the mile
As far facility of construction is concerned the route
proposed across the mountains possesses advantages
not to be found in any other part Of the United States
This road will, if constructed, be Of great impor-
lance to the State of Virginia and Tennessee 1t will
pass through about twenty counties in Western Vir
glnia, containing population of $751; and an area
of 4O3060 acres Of land the average value of which
estimated at S207 SOL There are raised annually
on this land 2355,38l pounds of tobacco $50
bushels wheat besides hemp and other products Add
to these the live stock, and we have resources stuff
Gent to warrant the construction of the proposed road
even for the benefit Of Virginia alone But the road
will pass through about fifteen counties in cast Ten
nessee containing population of about 10000, and
producing wheat, oats, Indian Corn and potatoes in
great abundanceas well yielding considerable guam
titles of iron, and aordng pasturage to immense herds
OF cattle, sheep and swine. For all these products
there must be some means Of transportation and the
proposed road from Lynchburg to knoxville is Der
haps the most favorable that could be suggested

our expectations We Oh aimed subscriptions along
the road to this place. Here, have held meeting,
and held forth to the people, in orr way, and at the
close Of our address, several persons forward and
took stock in part Of the road with free hearts and
good cheer. They did well, when it is considered that
they have already taken FIVE HUNDRED THOU
SAND DOLLARS in the Virginia andTennessee Rail
road But they are in fine spirits and determined to
meet US at the State line, with the putting and re-spl

Their President, Gen, Clay, whom you know, is now

INCREASING POLITICAL POWER OF THE

The CINCINNATI Daily Atlas publishes statement
to show the increase of the vote Of the Northwestern
States since 1910 rs follows:

in eight years. equal to fifty per cent in ten years a
to the total vote Of Virginia North Carolina and Lou
sana in the Southland to the total vote of NIassachu
sets, Connecticut and Rhode Island in the North =
tho census OF 1870 the increase will be vast deal
more than these totals.
The population of the North Western States was
100000 in 1910. The editor sets 1t down at 45O6-
600 in 1850, and adds
It's plain that 10 years will not elapsc before the
vote OF the North Western States the eectors) will
be greater than the vote Of all the Slavehodno States
Their vote is also equal to that Of Vermont Massachu

THE NATIONAL INTELLiGENCER.

THE NATIONAL INTELLiGENCER.
This well known journal has been for forty wears
under the control Of the present Editors, Messrs.
Gales q Seaton. Twenty years since ,thev pub
hShed prospectus containing condensed expo
sltlon of their political creed A late number has
similar exposition. No paper in the country
stood less in need Of any thing Of the kind-for
all know the platform upon which it stands.
There are many well conducted journals il this
country-some recommended to public favor BY
one quality, and some by another-but it is doing
no injustice to the American Press to say that none
occupy the like space in public estimation, or
WELD such influence, as the National Intelligent
Ger. With the wisdom of age it combines the
sustained vigor of manhood, and both are at all
times illustrated by the courtesies, moderation
and torbearance of good breeding and gentleman
" instincts. The continuous support it has re-
celved IS creditable TO the. American people
and it would augur untavorably for the state of
political and moral feeling and public taste should
that support be leSsened-of which, fortunately,
there is no danger. No paper, we venture 10
say, ever had such long list Of those whose
names have been enrolled as subscribers for twen-
ty, thirty and forty years. A thousand crcum-
stances, in the vicissitudes of life and the diver
sites of opinion, may lead a man to discontinue
his subscription to paper-but we scarcely ever
kllCW one WHO utCllllcu longer 10 take the IN
telligencer from dissatisfaction at the manner in
which it was conducted. What compliment does
this imply
Success and enlarged usefulness say we, to
the Oldest and abest Of the journals Of our coun-
try!
o. The returns of the late French elections
show some curious results The nbounded pop
ularity of Lamartlne, eighteen months ago, must
be fresh in the memory of all He was elected in
April, 1S4S, to the National Assembly by ten diff
ferent departments, which gave him an aggregate
Of two millions Of votes. At the election of the
18th ult., he was defeated, every where, and his
name was not even mentioned in connection with
the National Assembly, in his own department.
On the other hand, Ledru Roin, for having
whom as his colleague, Lamartne endured great
obloquy, is reelected by five different depart
ments. This smacks of reaction, certainly OF
the four men whom turn, were chosen to preside
in the Assembly not one is re- elected The press
at any rate not be said to be neglected.
