From the KnorriHe Register-l
Chattanooga & Charleston B. Road.

| Tho Chattanooga Gazette brings US
the proceedings Of a meeting OF the re-
ceiying and forwarding merchants Of ,ha,
place, in which the redoub,abIe Gen. Bish-
op is handled as he should have been long
since. From the proceedings Of the NEE
ting we learn that Bishop is not only fre-
quently absent from the depot, leavingl be-
hind him instructions 10 deliver no goods
until his return. but he is in The habit of
receipting for ali cotton that passes over his
road, as being 'in bad condition." 10 mat
ter how sound and strong the bagging may
be. The in,oleratly bad conducs oflthis
man as agent of the road, is now exposed
in such a manner as we trust will induce
Gov Towns 10 remove him.
| Below we give an extract from memo
rial addressed 10 the Governor Of Georgia
and the Chief Engineer of the Western
and Atlantic Rail Road, adopted by the
meeting referred to, and also the resolution
which is signed by all The receiving mer-
chants Of Chattanooga. Their own secu-
rity and their duty 10 their customers, had
demanded Of them iha. they should takeihe
position they have assumed in that resoIu-
tion:H
We feel that we have several causes of
grievance in the manner in which the bu-
sines Of your road has been conducted, to
which we desire to call your especial al
tenlion.
FIRsT-In the adjudication and payment
of claims for LOST and damaged goods. :
Those Of us engaged in the forwarding of
goods, have grea, reason ID complain OF the
tardiness of your superintendent of trans
poriation, in The sdtllemeni and payment for
goods lost and damaged on your road
Your regulations fix nme within which
claims of this nature shall be presented, and
justice would a, least require that time
should be set, within which those cllims
should be paid.
Last year, from representations made by
the proper officers, of ihe ability OF your
road to transport The cotton of North Ala
bama and Middle Tennessee, a considerable
quantity Of that article was shipped this way
TO be forwarded to the Atlantic markets, bur
unfortunately your road was unable 10 take
it off in due time, consequently large por-
ton was much damaged. This, with the
refusal on your parl 10 compensate the
owners for damages, has CAUSED many to
adhere to the old route down the Tennessee
and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans.
SEcoNDLY--We complain that your agent
at this place has adopted the unheard Of
plan Of receipling for all freights in bad or
der. For instance, q forwarding merchant
there has delivered 10 the agent of your de-
pot aIlot of cotton in as good order as ever
came from gin house, and he is presented
with a receipt Of which the following is a
true COPY:

Our Wondrous Atmosphere.

The atmosphere rises above us with lis
cathedral dome afching towards the heay-
ems, of which it is the most familiar syno-
nym and symbol. Ii floats aronnd us like
that grand objec, which The Apostle John
saw in his vision, sea Of glass like unto
Crystal So massive is il that when il be-
gins to stir ii .osses abou, great ships like
playthings, and sweeps cities and forests
like snow-hakes 10 destruction before il;
and yet i. is SO mobile that we have lived
years in it before we can be persuaded that
it exists at all, and the grea. bulk of man
kind never realize that they are bathed in
an ocean of air. Its weight is so enormous
that iron shivers before itlike glass; yet a
soap bal! sails through ii with impunity, and
the tiIiest insect waves il aside with its
wing. Ii ministers lavishlwto all the SEN
ses. We touch it not, bun il touches u.s.
lis warm south winds bring back color TO
the pale face of the invalid; its cool west
winds refresh the feyered brow, and make
the blood mantle in our cheeks; even its
north blast braces into new vigor the har-
dened children Of our rugged climate.
The eye is indebted TO i, for all the mag
nifcence of sunrise, the full brightness Of
midday, and the clouds that cradle near
the seuing sun. But for it the rainbow
would want its 'triumpha arch.' and the
winds would not send their fieecy .messen-
gers on errands round he heavens; the
cold ether would not shedssnow feathers
on the earth, nor W ould drops of dew gather
on the flowers; the kindly rain would never
fall, nor hail-stornl diversity the face of
the sky. Our naked globe would turn its
tanned and unshadowed forehead to the sun.
and one dreary M onotonous blaze of light
and heat dazzle and bum up all things
Were there no atm mosphere, the evening sun
would in moment set, and without warn
ing plunge he ear rh in darkness But the
air keeps in her ha nd "a sheaf Of his rays,
and lets them slip bit slowly through her
fingers, so that the Shadows of evening are
gathered by degrees, and the flowers have
time to bow their heads, and each creature
space to find place of res, ard 10 nestle
to repose. In the morning. The garish sun
would at one bound burst from the bosom
of night, and blaze above the horizon; bu.
the air watches for his islcoming, and sends at
first bur one litlle ray 10 announce his ap-
proaeh. and then another, and bv and by a
handful, and SO gently draws aside the cur
tain Of night. and slowly lets the hight fall
on the face of The sleeping earth, ill her
eye-lids open, and like man, she goes iorlh
again 10 her labors lill the evening.

TREEs OF THE SourH. Texas produces
the pecan; Louisiana the cypress, which is
the tree of The State; Mississippi the magno-
Iia; Florida the live oak; Georgia and North
Carolina The yellow pine; South Carolina the
palmetto, though we fear the structure oi
this beautiful Tree would be impraciable for
useful purposes. This is the finest specimen
Of the palm family indigenous to the United
States. HiH
This palm possesses q great and 10 this
country, an increasing value. 1t is the Only
tree produced in our forests which is not at
tackled by the toredd naralis, or ship worm,
and as it is incorrupIibIe IN salt waiter, its
value for submarine construction is almost
incalculable
lis leaves can be employed in the manufac
lure OF hats, baskets, mats and many other
purposes of domestic economy; the cabbage
composed of the unexpanded embryo leaves,
may be eIassed among the most delicious We
getables produced on our tables. 1t is, how
ever. waftefdl luxury, rs the tree always
perishes when deprived of this par of its
foliage.
Grows along the sea coast of Carolina and
Georgia, confined 10 the neighborhood Of
salt water; preferring damp. rich soils.-

cred Stiffness rests over the grove.--
Birds Oh melodious song and glorious
plumage pour out their most thrilling

beneath the boughs they stand on, sleeps

short article from the Republic, stating
that The kind of papers from this country

OF our emigrants, and their regard for

The CRYSTAL PALACE BEATEN.-Dr.
Duff, in his speech at the anniversary
meeting of the Wesleyan Methodist
Missionary Society in London, on Mon
day, thus described one of the heather
temples of India: "In Seringham YOU
have the hugest heather temple that eau
be found from the north TO the south
pole. 1t is a square, each side being
mile in length, SO that it is four miles
round. Talk of your Crystal Palace,
Why, as a man would put penny into
his pocket you might put your Crystal
Palace into the pocket of this huge paso-
da. The walls are 25 feet high, and 4
or feet thick, and in the centre Of each
wall rises a lofty. tower. Within the
first square there is another, and within
that again another, and You find seven
squares, one within another, crowded
by thousands Of Brahmins. 'Ehe great
hall for pilgrims is supported by .hous-
and pillars, each cut out Of single
block of stone." ..,.........-
