o. The last Knoxville Register has an
article on the subject Of the Railroad, which
is in rather better spri, than the one tina,
preceded it. 1t consents that the means
that may be on hand after finishing the
road to Charleston shall be expended on
| that part between the two rivers. This
is Ger lainly liberal on The part of the Reg
lister. and for which oil concerned ought to
feel under deep obligations, upon the prin.
ciple of "smull favors thankfully received,
and larger ones in proportion" The Reg.
lister suys it is "anxlous to Cooperate with
the Board in every practicable scheme for
the completion of the road" We hail this
declaration with delight, and so will every
friend Of the enterprise, as we are willing
to believe now that it is made in oil sin
certify. And all we ask of that paper is,
when the Board takes any action in refer
ence to the interests of the road, and that
action does not exactly meet its views or
notions, that 1t will not. before being fully
advised of all the facts and crcumsta noes,
fly off the handle and indulge in on i'll.
grounded opposition. Fair and candid men
will never condemn any measure in ad-
of the case. Those into whose hands The
interests Of the road were committed
by the proper authorities, have had many
difficulties 10 encounter of which the Reg.
lister knew nothing; and it had no right to
expect an unlimited confidence while all its
articles on the subject we're calculated to
make the impression that it was an enemy.
instead of friend. A calp, RENEWAL of
those articles must satisfy any one, even
the writer himself. that the friends Of the
road could not have pat any other cOnstruc.
ton on them than they did.
If the Register is sincere in its profes.
sisns Of friendship for the enterprise, let it
prove its sincerity by giving itan honest.

There is an evil growing out Of the
Registers course in regard TO the road. to
which we have never alluded. and would
not do so now did we not know that it is
every day widening. and deepening. and
if not speedily checked, will sooE be beyond
control. 1t is unnecessary to be more spe.
citic. further than 20 say that it is an ele-
ment embracing matters outside Of the rail
road interest; and 1t is for the Register to
arrest and turn it aslde-we could not do it
no matter how much we might try.
