Of Madison, Tennessee, has voted a
subscription Of S250,000, Gibson
county $4,000, Obion county $780,
600, and McNairy county $4,000
toward the construction Of the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad through Ten
ness &c. The people have yet to vote
upon its ratification,
The stockholders Of the Memphis
and Charleston railroad, at "a meet
ing held in Tuscumbia, refused
to adopt the charter passed y the
Mississippi Legislature, and passed
a resolution directing the directors
to have surveys and estimates made
on such route as they deem most
suitable for the location and con-
struction of a continuous railroad
from Memphis eastward, so as to
avoid entirely the state of Mississip-
pi, in the event the right Of way can
not be obtained through that State
upon terms satisfactory to the stock
holders

The WetumPka State Guard gives
the following dccount of difficulty
in the Alabama Penitentiary:-
DISTURBANCE IN THE PENlTENTlARY.
On the It'll inst, a difficulty of
rather a SERIOUS character, occurred
in the Penitentiary. 1t seems a con-
yict by the hame Of Wilson, SEN
fenced from Mobile; became unruly,
so much SO that the Sergeant of the
Guard was induced to punish him
when the Sergeant went into the
blacksmith Shop where Wilson was.
Wilson gathered up piece of iron
and made at him; the overseer of the
shop attempted to interfere for the
arrest Of Wilson, when another con-
Wet by the name Of Hill raised a
sledgehammer and knocked the over
seer of the shop down, and was in
the act of indicting another blow,
which, in ali probability, would have
killed him, when another convict by
the name Of Davis, from Madison
county, gave Hill such a blow as to
PROSTATE him. After Hill recovered
from the blow from Davis, seeing, as
he supposed that he had killed Mr..
Caravans, the overseer OF the shop,
he gathered his razor, which was close
by, and inflicted terrible cash in
his own throat, from which he after
wards died. Wilson was prevented
frem keeping up his attack upon the
Sergeant by the interference on the
part Of several convicts. Several of
the eonyicts showed a determined
spirit of keeping down any rebeIlious
feeling on the part of others. Mr.
Caravans has since entirely recovered
from the blows received.

a letter Of an intelligent gentleman
a resident of Oregon, who years ago
walked our streets-to a friend in
this county, on Mulberry. His
name, if given, would prove familiar
to many of the older citizens Of Lin
coin, and would be a sufficient en-
dorsement Of. the reliability of bis
statements. Our adyices from the
Pacific coast are usually confused,
and often contradictory; this fact
makes credible letter, like the fol-
lowing, the more valuable. The wri-
