A CLAIRvoYANT PROPHECY ABOUT SIR

change papers this morning, our eyes fell
uponthe following paragraph, whiehIurportsI
to have been cut from a paper called the
Edinburg 4drcrtiser, but of what date it is
not said:
''On the 18th of February last, a clairvoy-
ant, whose revelations are given IN DR.. Gree
gory's late work, stated that Captain Austin

ual position Of the place where he is now
found to have passed the winter. According

Railroads.

A writer in the Vicksburg Sentinel is urg-
ing the State of Mississippi to give active
aid to RAILROADS within her limits. There
are foir leading lines that have been canvass
ed in that Stste and approved. Three of
these are partly within the State; the fourth,
which is the Memphis and Charleston Rail-
road, will run almost entirely through the
State. of Tennessee. Ofthe other three, ole,
the Eicksbdrg, Jackson and Montgomery
Read, crosses the State from east to west;
and the other two are intended to traverse
the State from north to south. One Of these
is the Mobile and Ohio Road, and the other
is the jackson and NeY-Orleans Road. The
writer proposes that the public lands given
by the General Government for internal inn
provcments should lie appropriated. to the
purchase Of railroad iron, to be laid down on
t lose portions of these roads which lie With
in the State He calculated that the State
will, by the end of this fiscal wear, have ae-
cumulated surplus of one million of dallars
in the treasury, derived from the approPria-
ton to her own use of the FIVE hundred thous4
and acres of land derived from the Federal
Government and that being trust fund for
purposes of internal improvement, the State
| is under an obligation to apply it to such
uses. The plan suggested is that the State
should furnish the iron to all these roads as
fast as the grading and superstructure isreaay
Cor putting it down; requiring that private
capital shall bring the work up to that degree
1 of progress. The contribution of the State
to be treated as donation, or stock sgbscrip-
ton or loan, as may be decided on when the
prinbipleis settled; with precautions to en-,
able the State to avoid imposition and reclaim
the sum in case the enterprise should fail.
The project is a bold ona, and will, i
adopted, haze very decisive influence in ia
verof railroad improvements some of whicl
