Railroadtn EGSt Tennessee.

The editor of the Macon (Ga) Messenger, af-
ter visit to East Tennessee, gives the follow
ing account Of the opening of portion of the
Fast Tennessee and Georgia railroad:
The cars are now running upon the Georgia and
East Tennessee Railroad, lar the Town OF Charles
ton, on the banks of the Hiwassee River. The track
has been graded as far as Athens; and the Company
engaged 10 laying the iron between the ttiwas
see and that place We pr sent at the celebra-
ton of the opening OF the road at Charleston, on the
5'h. The crowd was immense-numberng at least
5000 people. An excellent Barbecue was served up on
the occasion By the citizens OF the place and the
rounding country. Interesting addresses were deliver
ed by Messrs Smith, OF Charleston, Cuyer, OF Savan-
nah, and Swan OF Knoxville.
We have now no doubt in regard to the ultimate
completion of the work. not only to Knoxville, but,
also, to Lynchburg Va 1t is also contemplated to
construct a cross road from Chattanooga to Charles
ton; distance OF forty miles, Tor the purpose OF max
ing the connection between the East tennessee, the
Nashville and the Menphs Road more perfect This
is important link; it would reduce the travel be-
tween these points Just forty miles, or one-half.
The East Tennessee Road is a most substantial and
captll work 1t is constructed with heavy rail upon
cross ties, and altogether model road lis cars and
machinery all of the most approved KIND For
new road, it is admirably managed and MAKES excel
lent time. The distance from Dalton to Charleston
40 miles was travelled the day we were upon the
road in one hour and twenty minutes.
We commend all opr friends who are engaged In the
grain ard provision trade to lose no time in extending
their business relations to East Tennessee. She Is a
hill sides are desneGo with valuable products,
all oil which will be needed for consumption in Central
and South Western Georgia. This trade can now be
secured to this section, if our business will make
the proper effort early day We feel assured that
they will consult their interests by giving the mat
ter immediate attention.
This railroad from the heart of East Tennes-
see towards Georgia is one in which we Virgil
mans have at least an indirect interest. Our
Virginia and Tennessee railroad is intended to
tap the same reservoir, and it behoves us to make
every proper exer;ion to hasten its completion.
Georgia has indeed somewhat foreslalled US, but
we shall have the advantage of being more in the
direct channel of trade and travel between the
North East and South West The appointment
of delegates on the part of this city to the Con-
vention at Abingdon is an appropriate testimony
of the active interest which Richmond feels in
the speedy prosecution of the railroad.

WIN. G. CARRINGroN, Sec'y,

MISUNDERSTANDING morning, at an early hour,
large quantity of blood was perceptibe On the side
walk in front of the residence of A. Duval ESQ corr
of Marshall and 9TH streets. When first discov-
ered it bore the appearance Of having been recently
split; 1t could be distinctly traced from point 18th
street. south of Marshall, to the corner of the last
named street, where it appeared the person animal
wounded leaned against tree, and left pool of
blood; thence up Marshall street, in zigzag course,
short distance beyond the gate which encoses the
entrance to MI. Duval's residence, when the person
or animal tell the sidewalk and left another pool
OF blood The large quantity Of blood together with
evidences which showed tina the wounded animal or
man had leaned for support against the ratings
well as the trees, naturally suggested the idea that
horrible tragedy had been perperated there the previ
Gus night.
Large crowds gathered about the place in the fore
noon, and indeed throughout the whole day, the un-
usual sight attracted visitors The officers of Police
were on the ground at early hour, and notwh
standing they instituted dgent inquiry in all direc-
tons, up to late hour last evening nothing had been
learned which tended to uniavel the mystery The
general impression to be that the blood so pro
fusely scattered over the pavement, belonged to
human being; but his whereabouts--and whether
dead or ailve-are questions which remain to be de-
termned.

On the subject ofthe popular election of Judges
the Charlottesville Advocate Saw.

The best plan of conducting the canvass for the u-
dicial Office under abe new Constitution, will be for
the bar OF the different counties composing circuit
they think best qualified, by temper and attanments

qulesce in the selection. After his nomination, the

A Proposition Made and Favor
Solicited.

As we are soon 10 commence new volume,
and people are making up their minds what pa
per they shall take another year, we make the
offer to all who will become new subscribers to
the Freeman for the next year and forward their
names, to send them the remaining numbers Of
this volume gratis, and enter them chargeable
only for the first number Of the next.
We also renew our offer to furnish clubs Of
six or more new subscribers at 81 ,25 in advance.
And now for the favor. AS little or no bene-.
fit is to be derived by sending out agents, and
as the natural loss on our list is two or three
hundred each year, by death, removal, &C.,
would it be too much 10 ask of each one of our
patrons who take an interest in our paper and
the cause it supports, and who do not deem US
too inveterate in our hostility to Slavery, for we
cun promise no amendment in that respect to
take hold for us, and spend from one to three
hours in an earnest effort to Obtain each, one
additional new subscriber, bearing in mind that
the next is a most important political year, that
great work is to be done and that Freedom ex-
poets every man to do his duty.
In this way our patrons and friends could not
only keep good our list but give US an accession
which would strengthen our arm for the contest
before us. What say you, friends, to making
the effort To will is to do, and to do is but
to succeed, in nine cases out of ten. Try it then,
and while we shall be sincerely grateful for the
personal favor, we will double our endeavors to
make our paper such that you shall have no rea-
son to regret your exerions In our behalf
All those of our old patrons who may be so
situated that they cannot comply with the above
suggestion, we would respectfully solicit to so
far aid in sustaining us as to continue their sub
scriptions. We are in the traces at the solicit
alton of many of the leading friends of our good
cause. We cannot get out, if we would, then
do not leave us to breast alone, o. with impair
ed strength, the political storm which you see
is gathering against the friends Of freedom in
all situations, and especially those who herald
its principles from the press.
