Childs, the chief engineer of that work, that
negotiations are now on foot for putting the
whole line of road, from Mobile to Paducah,
under contract during the coming twelve

The Democrat says that the vote of the

in favor of the issues of 100000 bonds, to
be invested in stock in the road, already
manifests itself in the increased valuation Of
property in Graves county. The Hon. r

The North Carolina Election.

"Scotts last chance, for a Southern State,
gonep So exclaimed Scott man Of this
city, when, yesterday, he heard of the vote
of North Carolina. He was right: the
chain of Southern States will be unbroken
Had the wings carried North Carolina, Scott
might have stood some chance for the vote
of Maryland, Kentucky, or Louisiana; but
his managers, at Washington, having spent
their full strength upon North Carolina, and
failing to carry it, the Southern States will
now vote in a body against him. The re,
suit will be to give us peace, or an I'm,
conquerable Southern party.
From our North Carolina exchanges, We
gather returns from thirty-eight countless
In them the gain of Reid, the Democratic
candidate, over his vote of 1850, amounts tc
1870. His majority in the whole State will
no doubt, be over 1000 votes, probably
5000
The Legislature will be unchanged. The
Democrats had, before, majority of four in
the Senate, and ten in the House. In the
counties heard from, the Senate is unchang
ed, and, in the House, each party has gained
and lost six members.
