The Railroad meeting called for
this evening, is postponed until Tues

when it is expected, the Hon. James
Robb and other distinguished speakers
will be present and address the meet
ing.
The public are respectfully invited
TO attend the same in the Hall of the

the object Of this meeting is to devise
plan of cooperation with the New
Orleans jackson and Northern Rail
Road Co., whereby a branch may be
constructed from that road to this city,
and thus put us in railroad communi
cation with New Orleans and the
North. The sub jcct is one that should
enlist the liveliest interest of all clas-
ses of our citizens and we hope to
sec a general attendance on that occa-
sion A Railroad connecting the com
mercial with the political capitol of
Louisiana, will insure the permancy of
the scat of Government mt this place,
and open up a career Of growth and
prosperity to it, such as can be reali-
zcd by no other improvement our citi-
zcns could devise.

Uncle TOMS Cabin,

We yesterday noticed the appear
ancc Of the Southern Ladies Book
for February, Having rerused some
Of its excellent articles more at leis-
ure, VIC wish te record our opinion of
one of them, (thc review of Uncle
Toms Cabin') wherein the writer
wastes much time and labor, to prove
that book, what no southcrner who
reads it can fail to pronounce it, a
great "humbug." We have read Tn
Gle Toms Cabin, and cndeavorcd to
get some idea of what Mrs. Stowe
really intended to teach, show or
proue by it; but failed to satisfy our
mind i'll that respect.
We can't help thinking that the
reviews in the Lady's book, would have
done a better service to the cause of
literature, had the same time and Ia
Dor been spent in showing how south
crn industry and southern resources
could be developed, than in noticing
SO foul a thing, SO great tissue of
falschood, so infamous a work. as is
Uncle Tom Cabin, the greatest joint
literary product Of all the live
Beechers.

SHoEMAKfNG BY .MACHINERy.-A
Bridgewater correspondent Of the
Plymouth Memorial, gives the follow
ing ac-cHnt Of the progrest Of stitch
ing by machinery:
Last week we saw in operation what
we never happened to meet before
a sewing machine-Thc one VIC saw
had been lately brought into the place,
and is used for stitching shoes. We
understand that these machines are
becoming quite common, One cstab-
lishment in Abingdon is making use for
no less than six. 1t is said. that an
operator with machine, will stitch in
day more than ten times the amount
usually accomplished by a 'stitcher, :"
and that the cost is very materially re-
duccd. The machinery did the work
very neatly, and 80 far as we saw, very
thoroughly.

The CalOric Ship Ericsson.

Much discussion is now going on,
among our Eastern Exchanges, in ref
erence to the ultimate success Of the
new motor; rs an agent for navigation
and other purposes in the place Of
steam. The Tyibuue, Times, Her.
ald and other New York papers seem
satisfied that heated air is about to
succeed steam, in the empire Of COM
mercc and navigation, while others
claim the privilege of still dondtimg
its feasibility. There is no doubt
however with them that the trips al
ready made by the ERICSSON proved as
successful as it's most sanguinc friends
could have anticipated, and this being
admitted, together with the advantages
the new motor has in many respects
over steam, we at this distance from
the scene of operations may feel salts
fed that this application Of tie hot air
power is not a failntc.
The mind of man can hardly grasp
the thousand ways in which the Caloric
engine may be used, even if it should
nat become the ruling power on sea,
as steam now claims to be. The great
reduction in the quantity of fuel nee
essary to the same power of steam,
must give caloric preference in the
field of manufactures, and indeed in
all other operations where machinery
superceeds manual labor. We look
for further developments in the n'w
engine with great interest, and Ericsson
certainly has our best wishes for his
final and complete success.
Should his efforts be crowned with
an undisputed triumph, and his engine
succeed the steam engine, his name
will rank high among the great benc-
factors Of the age

The Mails.

Some two months ago, it WAS trum.
peted abroad that a new and highly
favorable contract, had been made by
the Government, with some persons
for carrying daily mail from New
Orleans, to all the towns along the
coast between that city and Vicksburg
We have heretofore noticed the
failure of the contractors, to perform
their work according to contract, and
as the thing grows worse and worse
daily, we are glad to sec the matter
has been taken up in the Legislature,
and we hope that something may be
done to remedy the evil, it is possible
to do so. We get mail now about
t,cicc week from New Orleans, and
one from the North enthusiastically
nud sometimes oftencr. With a
change of officials at the Federal City,
we may have change of affairs here,
at least we hope so.

CHRISTIANITY IN CnlNA-Thc re-
turn of Mr. Msrcchal, of Lunevillc
from Pekin, after a sojourn Of three
years at the gates Of that city, has ere
ated sensation in the scientific world.
He has collected u vast deal of infor-
nation respecting the state Of the inte-
rior of China, and has discovered a.
mongst other evidences of the existancc
of Christianity in that country, long
previous to its adoption IN Europe, a
cross of granite, upon which is craven,
in Chinese characters, an outline ofthe
life and sufferings of our Saviour, with
prophecies relating to the general res
erection of mankind and the final de-
struction Of the globe This cross
bears evident marks of it's genuine or
igln, and is supposed to belong to the
second century after Christ. NJ Mare
chal has also brought the agate cup of
Ghcngis-Khan, which was used for
sacrifice in the great temple. 1t is of
most marvellous beauty, both of dcsig,
md execution, cut from the solid stone
measuring about thirty-seven inches in
circumference, and carved with mys.
ferrous emblems Of the course of the
sun. The surface is highly polished
and of course gray color, upon which
,hc characters with which it is craven
stand out distinctly. The cup is sup
posed to be unique, lboth in its sub
stance and interest and the museum
of the Louvre has already bid a con-
siderable sum for its possession. The
handles, representing the sacred apes
bending forward into the cup, are
wonderfully beautiful
