says, Florida is the only State where il tassels .

acre, while fair average is from one 70 three. The
Florida land too, cannot compare with the alluvium

CHARLESTON AND MEMPHIS RAILROAD. -
Great exertions making to start this extensive
work. 1t will be borne in mind that more than
one-half of the distance is already finished. The

Northwestern county of Georgia. There are pieces
Of the road through Alabama, along the Tennessee
river, also in actual operation--so that to unite
Memphis and Charleston is not such gigantic
undertaking as it appears at first sight We shall
be pleased to receive information in regard to this
and all other Southern improvements. Our Caro-
lima readers will find US orthodox on every subject
having for its object the development of the re.
sources Of the South-not that it may be indepen-
dent Of the Union, but that it may thus more
closely nvet the chains of common interest and
strengthen the feelings of reciprocal respect and
affection essential in the preservation of our
glorious Union. New Orleans, however, must be
on the alert In few years Memphis, Nashville
and Louisville will find Atlantic markets We
must take care of ourselves-frst by the repeal of
odious and unjust laws, which repel the influx of
captal-by effectng the improvement of the Mis-
slssippi and its trbuaries-by contributing to the
railroads penetrating into the interior of MISSISSIPPI
pi--by aiding in the construction Of the road from
Blakely to Grard-by encouraging the direct trade
between the thriving interior towns of Mississippi
and Alabama and New Orleans and lastly by
acting vigorously in the execution of the Te-
huantepec Railroad The last is work Of immense
importance to the civilized world-its effect on New
Orleans would be felt at once. 1t would make this
the entrepot and place OF exchange for the products
of China, the East Indies, and the valley of the
Mississippi. In helping 70 GARY out this work,
however, we must not forget the lesser matters
The railroad to Jackson-the direct communication
by steamboats, with Montgomery-the railroad from
Blakely to Columbus-will add greatly to the bust
ness OF the city. They will help to swell the petty
cash receipts in the drawer of New Orleans The
prudent thrifty shopkeeper considers this an i'm
portant item in his years business-it is these
sums which swell up into fortunes-which make
millionaires and great cities

The CANADAs.-Lord John Russell, in a late
speech, came out in most decided terms against the
separation of the Canadas from the mother country.
This announcement was received with loud cheers.
This is all very we'll; the gentlemen may cheer as
voeiferously as they please but the people who
have to support the Canadian Government and
the troops stationed in the colonies, are be-
ginning to count the cost, and their voice will
drown the cheers of the mob in the House OF
Commons. The Canadas, Cuba, and Mexico, will,
in the course OF time form part of the North Amer
lean Confederacy. An attempt to hasten, will only
retard. Goethe, once speaking of violent reforms,
used the following striking language
love plants, | love the rose as the most per-
feet flower that German climate can produce.
But am not fool enough to require my gardener to
provide me with them at the end of April | am
content if l then find the first green buds-if from
week to week see the leaves one after another
unfolding themselves, and rejoice when at the end
Of June the unfods itself in all its glory and
fragrance. If any one has not the patience to wait
for this, let him go to the forcing house."
Not violence, but time will bring about what we
desire. We must learn of Nature, patience and
success,

think tits high time the custom should be given
up The actor bargains to perform a particular
character while on the boards, his acting is public
property but when the curtain Drops he is no
longer subject to be recalled We shall be glad to
see some actor have the holiness TO refuse submits

that Of throwing on the stage bouquets, which in
the first instance cost only dime piece, and are
withered before they given away. If gentle
man wishes to pay compliment to an actress, he
can very easily send her rare flower, but this
throwing on dirty floor faded bouquet, is taxing
the lady to pick up worthless weed We were
