Charlton Bottom Plank Road.

We observe a call has been issued for a
meeting of the citizens of Charlton county,
ut Old Charlton on the 18th, to take into
consideration the propriety Of constructing
Plank Road from, this place through Old
Charlton, and across the Charlton Bottom,
70 where it wonld.strike the main divide be-
tween the Charlton rivers. A company Of
gentlemen were,over the route on Monday
and are perfectly satisfied of the practical
bility and importance of the proposed i'm
proyement, and from the feeling manifested,
we do not entertain a doubt but that CON-
pany will be organised at the proposed
meeting, and the work pushed on to an ear
ly completion.
We called attention 80 the importance Of
this improvement overel year ago, and are
truly gratified that she. irafiatory steps are
about being taken under such favorable aus
pieces. No difficulty is agprehended in pro-
curing stock, because capitalists are salts
fed that the investment VIII pay hand
some dividend. The importance af the i'm
provement to this place is scarcely 10 be es-
timated, fact thAt our business men seam
fully to understand and appreciate.

Huntsville Plank Road.

The committee appointed to view the new
route for the Huntsville Plank Road, re-
ported favorably, and survey will be made.
The route proposed to be surveyed runs
south of the other surveys, and is thought
to have the advantage in two important
points, viz: running over better ground and
passing through inexhaustible coal fields
In distance, the other routes have the adj
vantage--the extreme southern route in
creasing the distance two miles. II this
route should be adopted, the road from here
to Huntsville will be twenty-nine miles in
length.
The coal on the southern route is strong
inducement in its favor-and while it will
be Of incalculable advantage to the towns at
the ends of the road, the foliage it will put
in the treasury of the Company will not be
exceeded by any one article. The quantity
Of coal that would be consumed at this place
and disposed of 10 steamboats,, when it can
be delivered at ten cents q bushel, will be
enormous, and will be great saving to the
community, who have had to pay So per
cord for wood, during the present winter.
The increase of distance is serious OBJ
lection, and the stockholders will have to
piace one against theether, and decide which
will pay them the bes; for however much
they may be disposed to accommodate indi-
yiduals or neighborhoods, self interest will
compel them to adopt the route that will
produce the greatest income on the capital
invested.

the other was to COMPEL Judge Yancy to do
as I had done, make his sentiments known
fully on the subject.
The petition was demurred to and then
felt confident that decision from Judge
Yancy must come, as the lap required de-
murrers to be decided at the term when they
are filed. But l was disappointed. He re-
fused to decide it, and took the case under
advisement till the next term ofthe court
Thus was defeated in my undertaking by
a means could not with the law in my
hand control. / allude TO the masterdom Of
non action.
The case was therefore removed before
Judge Johnson, a Judge whose opinions
understood during his canvass last summer
to be against me. But took it there be.
lieving that Judge johnson would not hesitate
to give decision so as the case might pro
gress. Yours, respectfully,
M L. HENDRICK.
The above case, we understand, wal
decided against Mr.. H. and an appeal takel
to the Supreme Court. 1t will most proba
bly, be decided at the July term.

the Secretary of State 10 inform the Senate
whether the Board of Mexican claims had

third reading.
The resolution of sympathy for the Irish
exiles was then taken up.
Mr.. Shields commenced speaking-he
said his amendment was SO framed as to
make the application for clemency in behalf
of the exiles, consistent with the dignity of
the United States, and he believed no indig-
nifty to Great Britain. The resolution NOV
ed to effect their release; England had moth
ing to. gain by prolonging their captivity;
the hope of Ireland's nationality was forever
crushed. The United States in asking what
she did, was in similar situation to Eng
land in the case of Kossu;h, who owes his
liberation to the interference OF England in
his behalf. Mr.. Shields then went on in an
eloquent strain to depict the sufferings OF
Ireland, and her claims on this country; he
hoped Irishmen and Englishmen would COM
bine to improve the condition of ireland,
hopes of her nationality being at an end.
Mr.. Seward then got the floor and the
subject was postponed.

DIED-On the 9Th inst, after severe illness,
Mrs. CArHARINE SHEPHERD, aged 55 years, con-
sort Of Col. Jonah H. Shepperd, of Howard coun-
ty, and daughter Of the late Jas. S. Ferguson, of
Jessamine county, Kentucky.
The deceased was member of the Christian
Church, and died with the bright hope of blessed
Immortality beyond the grave.
"Blessed are they that die in the Lord"
On the 9Th inst, at the residence of her father,
in this county, Miss ELIZABETH JANE, Youngest
daughter of Col. Jonah H. Shepherd, in the Path
year of her age.
Thus in the short space Of two days, hath the
daughter been called to follow the mother to the
tomb. The deceased was an exemplary member of
the Christian church, and an ornament to her sex,
but alas! death has made her ga shining mark, -
and she is now numbered with s'those who people
the city of the dead )" whilst those who once knew
and loved her in life "shall know her no more OH
earth forever" The grave may conceal her from
our sight, yet the sweet flowers Of memory shall
still cling around her, and the brightest blossoms
Of spring shall bloom and die again and again,
above the sod that confines her, e'er her friends
shall cease to cherish a recollection Of her many
virtues. "Twere hard to give thee up, but the
grave hath won thee"
"Ah what avails each polished grace,
An eye where sparkling glories dwell,
An angels form, or cherub face,
When solemn tolls the requiem bell.
Oh! what could stay the failing breath
What earthly power could health impart;
/ The spoiler came-relentless death,
No angels arm repealed the dart.
Serene within the peaceful urn,
She sleeps, from mortal cares, at restj
Meier did purer soul return,
To bloom upon Saviour's breast.
When lingering pains her bosom tore,
Resigned, she kissed the chast'ning rod
Each deadly pang, with meekness bore,
And smiled in death to meet her God"
