RAILROADS IN THE SouTH.-The progress
of the railway system in the South IS briefly
yet satisfactorily exhibited in the following atss
ticle:
Virginia is extending its lines from the sea-
board to the Ohio and the Tennessee; on the
one hand by the Covng,on and Ohio Railroadi
towards Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago and.
st. Louis, and on the other hand by the Virsss
ginia and Tennessee Railroad and its coa1ec-
tions towards Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nastls.
vile, Memphis, and the whole South west.
Already its complete roads measures six hun:
dced miles more. @ ~
North Carolina, too,is pressing on towards
the West; and forming connection with the
great lines of Virginia by the Roanoke Valley
Railroad, and with those of South Carolina by
the Central Railroad, uniting with the Char
lotte and South, Carolina Railroad near. the
State line and the Wilmington and Manches.s
ter Railroad opens to its chief port the riches
that eistwhile have raised Charleston to its lof-
ty position. The completed lines in;this State
measure two hundred and eighty miles, and
those progressing to some five hundred niles,

COMPLETELY SoAKED.-Jones says he went
home one night with an extensive brick in his
hat, and not being desrous of calling the wrath
of Mrs. Jones, concluded, after some reflection
to get in bed without waking her. He succce-
dcd, as he thought, pretty well in so doing, but
after lying some time, he imagined that Mrs.
J. might smell his breath, and so concluded to
turn over. But we will give his own words {;
"I had but fairly got over when my wife
sang out, "Joncs, you stupid old foo, you need
not have turned over you're drunk all the
way through"
