cities can 60 on to prOspery-without them, neither
can. |
3d. The Jackson road will connect US by short
and speedy route with the projected lads Of the
North West with the great Lakes, and the roads Of
Virginia with the cities Of the North East without
the delays Of the present Atlantic River routes.
4th. The Jackson r ad, by opening more Ger.
,ainly and speedily to US the counties Of Middle
Tennessee and North Alabama, will cbeckmate
the roads Of Carolina and Georgia, and divert the
trade which otherwise must inevitably go into that
quarter. The route is shorter to New Orleans, md
the incnalons and cnrvatnres Of the alignment
lar more favorabe-consequently freights can be
made much less. Nor are there any advantages
enjoyed by Charleston and Savannah over New
Orleans. in freghts, expenses, insurance, etc., as
have been pretended. The following figures,
which are prepared from The best sources of infor-

The advantages possessed by these Atlantic
cities are not SO large to admit of any incre
in the rate Of freight With this road, New Or
leans, by virtue of her local position and her repu
iation cotton mart, which gives her cottons an
advantage in price over those of any other market,
will be able to retain her against many odds !;
at all events, she will be fair competitor with
those Atlantic cities, who otherwise must have the
field entirely to themselves.
The map which accompanies this address affords
interesting information of the different proposed
lot a,ions of roads from New Orleans; besides
which, some Of the principal reads in the United
States are traced upon it, by which it is seen how
important are the interests of the people of Louis.

ARcnBIsHop OF BALrIMoRE.-T

ARCHBISHOP OF BALTIMORE. - The

the rumorej appoin,mentof Bishop Ken

Herald says: '.DuriLg the past week,
various rumors have been circulated re-
speeding the filling of The vacant see oil

best to state that authentic information
has been received. that on the Sd ult

Brahu,,iu Cattle.

We yesterday saw at Reynolds stable
on Second street, pair OF Brahmin cat
tie, a bull two years and half old and a
heiier about twenty months old. They
are very singular animals in their appear
ance. In shape The female seems more
like mule than COW. The horns are
not more than three inches in length and
are very large where they join the head.
The male has hump on his shoulders
somewhat resembling the hump OF a
camel.
These animals belong to Mr.. Fades,
Of Lexington, who is taking them 10 The
Henry County Fair. They were i'm
ported direct from their native country BY
DIR. Davis, of South Carolina. of whom
Mr.. Fades purchased them, as he informs
US, for $4,000. Mr. E. says they can
travel at the rate of seventy or eight,
miles per day without fatigue. This
quality would render the OK particularly
valuable.
The Brahmin COW does not give an
unusual quanlily OF milk, but it is said
to be very rlch.-Louisviile Journal.

upon Editors and Publishers the propri
ely of Convention OF the Fraternity
Of the State of iowa.
There are many considerations in Ia

good, j, can do no harm, and we there
fore think j. would be well enough to
try the experiment.
II j, he agreeable we suggest Keokpk
~ the place for holding the Convention,
and the fine. soon after the opening Of
navigation in the spring. -paliey Whig
If a Convention of this kind could
devise means to make delinquent sub.
scribers think tina. printers needed mon.
ey as much as store keepers. grocers, doc.
tors, or lawyers; or persuade the people
of The West that il is to their interest TO
subscribe to home papers, and pay for
them, in preference 10 the trashy, sickly-
sentimental publications Of the Eastern
Cities, we would all turn oul from this
office-f.om the 'DEyIL" to the Editor.
But we would ss soon believe a man
could make pipe.stems out of pig-lails
40 10 think q Convention would have
any such influence.
Ask a man 10 take county paper, and
ten chances to one If he does not say:
"Oh, want to take an Eastern paper;
/ can get The Post, or the Universe for
dollar and half, and they are a third
larger than your paper, aud contain a
great deal more news Than your pa
per. You have TOO many tales in your
paper. anyhow" The next man you
ask TO subscribe will say he "Don't care
anything abou, the news, he wants pa
per full of stories and anecdotes, and
can get such an one East for half,he price
Of these country papers" The next
man you ask is liberal, whole-souled
fellow, he takes an Eastern paper but
believes in pafronising home papers
subscribes, would pay then, but sent the
lac, dollar he had to New York for the
Universe. lie takes the paper three or
four years. always sent his money to
New York when you ask him for the
pay-and finally goes to some more con-
genial climate, where country editors
can't see him to dun him.
But there is another sort. They sub
scribe and pay in ADVANCE. They are
thinking men. They know that when
they take their county paper and pay
for il, the money is kept in circulation al,
HOME, and that every dollar that is sem.
East for Newspapers is that much lost to
the circulating medium Of this country
They know that Eastern papers do not
advocate the interests of the West, and
consequently prefer to support those
that advocate measures that will ad-
vance theirs and their coun,ry's interest.

would no, attend the Convention, if that
Convention could remodel all men, and
