Our readers have been appraised that the chain
of railroad connection proposed to be established
in East Tennessee, is under the charge of two
distinct Companies, viz: the East Tennessee and
Virginia Railroad Company, and the East Tennes
see and Georgia Railroad Company. We are
gratfed to learn from the Knoxville Register, tina
both Companies are actively proceeding to the
execution of their respective trusts.
On the 18th of January, the Board of Directors
of the former Company met at Greenvile, and le
forty miles of the road to Mr.. Samuel Ferguson
of Pennsylvania, contractor, the grading to be
completed by the LIST of January 1862, the pay.
ments to be one~hat in cash and one-haf in the
bonds ofthe Company bearing six per cent, paya-
Bile annually until the completion of the road, and
then redeemable in stock. The prices fixed are
below the estimates of the Engineer. The whole
cost of grading the 40 miles is to be about $780,
900. The part Of the line included in the con-
tract lies between McBee's Ferry and Bulls Gap.
In reference to the other great railroad of East
Tennessee, the Knoxville Register says:
EAST TENNESSEE AND GEORGIA r AuRoAp-We TN
derstand that at the meeting of the Directors of this

Messrs. Dent g. Co., for repairing the road between

cars. The contractors are to commence work on the
LIST OF March next, and TO have the road fully finished

The Company will commence running the cars

CAUSE OF Mr.. KAuFMAN's DEATH-The
Washington correspondent ofthe Baltimore Patriot
speaking of the death ofMr. Caufman, a Represen-
tative in Congress from Texas, says:
He died very suddenly. | bel ieve he died, not
of disease of the heart, as has been stated, but
from pistol ball wound which he received some
eight or ten years ago while he was Speaker of the
lower House of the Texas Congress, in a rencon-
ire with member of the same body. His friend,
Com. Moore, feels certain that that wound was
the cause OF Mr.. Kaufman's sudden death, on
Friday evening last. The ball entered the centre
of the body, in front, and, as understand, was
never found.

Col. James Gadsdeh formerly President of
the South Carolina Railroad Company, but deposed
from the office at the last annual meeting, has
published long defence of his administration in
the Charleston Courier. The income of the rail-
road was very large, but its membranes were
so great as very much to deprccate its stock, and
to produce complaints of its management We
do not propose to enter into the merits of the aues
tons involved, but merely 10 notice the following
curious passages, in the conclusion of Col. Gads-
denis publication:
"By reference TO the Annual Report for 1910 here
with published and the first of my Stewardship you will
read hastily etched the identity ofinteress othe South
Carolina Railroad with those in project in other States
all tending to harmony OF union, i'll the social political
ana commercial relations between the West the Caro-
lnas and Georgia. These enterprises not negec-
ted my part, imposed by the obligations of my po-
sltion with the South Carolina Road.
"By the enterprise OF Georgia. the waters ofthe Ten
nessee, through the ports Of Savannah and Charleston
have been brought INTO intimate communion with the
Atlantic. The Road to Nashville is in rapid progress
OF completion The energy of Tennessee has stinu-
lated into existence the older but not less important
| terprze, through north Alabama, to Memphis The
Road from Selma the Alabama, to intercept the lat
ter has been located, and Is now under contract. This
Road has reawakened attention to the route by Bran
don to VIcksburg. All these three iron highways were
indicated in report at the Memphis Convention, and
harmony of corporation produced by showing that
as radn from CENTRE they were not antasonsica,
but on the dlverging lines to common circumference
in their completion, we shall have tapped the
Tennessee and Cumberland, and the Mississippi at the
imposing points of Memphis and Vicksburg The Faith
er tRivers will be weakened i'll its influences, and that
Geographical Bond which seems to reconcile the
shores of the lower Mississippi to the insulting domi-
nation from the Banks OF its upper tributaries, will have
to give way TO the iron Avenues Of Southern Equality
| and Free Trade"
Surely the ardent South Carolinians must
experience some feeling of regret, in their present
state Of mind, when they see how long Col Gads-
den has been striving to promote what they
now seem to desire, and how poorly he has been
recompensed for his pains. "The iron avenues
of Southern Equality and Free Trade" is new
name for railroads, but which is just suited to
| the Palmetto vocabulary. Our Virginia and Ten
| nessee line does not seem to have entered into
| Col. Gadsdens CONCENTRATIONS, though it strikes
at the imposing points of Memphis and Vicks-
burg, probably because his ideas of "Southern
equality" are confined by the peculiar interests
of Charleston and the South Carolina Railroad.

MANASSAS GAP RAILROAD

The bill providing subscription by the State Of
t~o:ffhs of the capital stock for the construction
this work, having passed the House of Delegates
on Wednesday, came up in the Senate on Satur-

ments offered by Mr.. Thompson of Amherst, which
having been amended on motion of Mr. Garlic
were finally agreed to, and the bill as amended
was passed by the following vote:

Although the amendments adopted by the Sen

before the House, its friends were greatly reoicet
at the result, and INDUCED, we understand in some
festive congratulations at the Powhatan House
Saturday evening. The amendments place the
