'KNOXvILE AND HER RAIL ROAD
STOCK"

Under the above caption, the Register, of
the 27thy makes an extract from the Somerset
Gazette, in which that paper criticises upon
the policy here tofore pursued by Knoxville and
Knox county, in regard to the E. T. & Ca,
and the E. I. & Va, Railroad and which crti-.
cisms are based upon facts which have hereto
fore appeared in our paper. The Register at
tempts to show that these and other accusations,
are frivolous and disreputable by the following
statement, which we copy, IN justice alike to
Our readers and to our Knoxville friends.
The East Tennessee and Georgia rail road
has a stock subscription amounting in the
aggregate to S995,O0O. OF this sum, $425,,
600 be longs to the State; leaving but $4,000
belonging to individuals. a0f the stock owned
by individuals, nearly O0,O00,or more dlda one
third, has been subscribed by the citizens Of
@ KnorUiite and KROE county. What is more
remarkable, $l50,000 of stock held by citizens
of Knox county, was subscribed at a time that
the stock of the company could have been
bought and in some instances was bought by
those who now compl.il of Knox county at
thirty cents IN the dollar, and some at even
less rate. The citizens of Knox county took,
IN other words, $4,000 of the stock at par,
when, with the same money they might have
bought every dollars WORTH of private stock in
the road, and still have had some funds where
with to extend the road to this point. We ven
ture the assertion that another instance of the
kind cannot be found in the entire history of rail
road enterprise in the United States, and yet
we are charged with want of liberality
o. n reference to this and other improvements.
But this is not all which Knoxville and Knox
county have done; We can foot up the follow
ing column of subscriptions.

smart likely. little fellow, aunt Caty said he
was and that both Mr.. and Mrs Flagg had
said they intended to do by him just as if he
was their own child.
"But for all that said aunt Csty, "they
won't do it, good meaning folks as they are !;
and continued she, 81 told them they must
not have eyes bigger than the boys faults, Tor
I was there when they came home, and almost
the first thing was hard word for Oliver"
Here aunt Caty told us how his mother had
married against the will of all her family, es-
pecially outraging the feelings Of Mrs Flagg
who was married to rich man, while the hus-
band of her sister was poor and humble; that
when the poor girl had lost her husband, five
years after her marriage and had to support
herself and little Oliver by sewing, Mrs Flagg
had said it was good enough for her; and If
Mrs. Flagg had not said so, she had not visit
ed her sister nor assisted her in any way.
Indeed, it was only the day before che died
that the Flags had gone to see her-that q
reconciliation had taken place-and that Oh
yer had been bequeathed to the care OF his rei
ntyos. who saw him then for the first time.
We told aunt Caty that we had seen him II
the carriage when he went home with them
as though that were Of any Importance, an(
that we had that day seen him cutting stalk
with John, or rather seen John sitting on tn
fence while he cut the stalks.

EURopE-Russ1A AND TURKEY

1t would take daily newspaper the size If
the Tribune, managed with the abilities Of =.
faculty of editors, to furnish all the intelli,D.,
which the steamers bring us, concerning II.
present disturbed state of Europe and AS,
and the work of condensation adapting it ia
the capacity of weekly sheet would demand
more labor, and a good deal more confidence
than we can command. Besides, under the 81,
cumstances, the matters which lie neare,
home are more especially in our way.
The Humboldt which arrived on the 2Ist at
New York, brings the intelligence that the yl
timatum of the Russian Emperor had been
made to the Turkish Sultan, and bis decision
demanded in eight days. The Russian forces
are already in array for the immediate inya-
sion of Turkey, and the Sultan's army and
navy in the order and attitude of resistance the
most active preparations for the defence pro
ceeding as under apprehension of its pressing
necessity. The Ottoman forces are reported a,
10000 regulars, and feet Of 500 guns, BE-
sides steamers and % smaller craft Forty
thousand horse troops were ready, and had re.
ceived orders to attack the Russians if they at
tempted to cross the Pruth Mustapha Pasha
offers 2O0, 600 Abyssinians to march against the
Russians The total land force organized is
$4,000 men.
But, it is believed that there are influences
at work which will prevent immediate hostiE.
ties. Austria and Prussia are too seriously
menaced by the threatened stride of the Rus
sian dominion in the East, to allow Of their &C
quiescence; and France and England are deep
ly concerned to prevent such general embroil
ment of Europe as would probably arise from
war between Russia and Turkey, as well
by the balance of power policy; and the mainte
nance which they are concerned to give to tn
public law of nations, which they are unan
nous in believing is violated by the Russia
demands upon Turkey No European journ
is found to justify her course. 1t is to the la
degree improbable that any other power tina
Russia can afford to run the risk Of kindlin
up o general conhagration in Europe just nov
They are all under bonds to keep the peace
nevertheless crisis has arrived, which ma
possibly overpower tho policy of peace anon

tions of I848. E..

Maryland and Pennsylvania have already
had some very pleasant little passages. In 1926
two Commissioners of the former went TO Har-
risburgh, and, at their request, and after their
dictation, Pennsylvania passed her act of that
year, entitled, can act to prevent kidnapping"
which, besides, accommodated the claimants
with the use and services of the Pennsylvania
Judiciary for the recovery of their fugitiyes
upon which amicable adjustment, some Of the
citizens Of Maryland went to kidnapping in
Pennsylvania, and the Supreme Court pro-
nounced the law-whch ought to have had all
the force of treaty between the two States
unconstitutional. Afterwards the Quaker State
plucked up the courage to say she would not
any way help if she could in no way control
or guard the man hunters privileges, and de-
MED the use of her Judiciary and jails to her
amicable sister Commonwealth. But Governor
Bigler and his party thought something ought
to be done to save the Union and heal the
strife and they not only repealed the clause
prohibiting the use of their jails, but last win
ter invited Maryland to dinner, and all went
merry as a marriage bell at the feast of rec
onciliation. For that and all that Maryland
takes the first opportunity that offers, to treat
her submissive friends with well-merited con-
tempt, and seems to regard the saving of the
Union of secondary consequence to the saving
of McCreary! Very well Mawworm in the
play whines out "they despises me, and
likes to be despisedn Let the Pennsylvania
Democracy add the philosophy to the mean
ness of its type and the complaint is mended.
We expect Governor Bigler to press his
proposition on the next Legislature to allow
the slave traders the right of transit through
the State for their droves of men, that Mary
land may have one more reason and one less
excuse for her insolence to her sister Common
wealth, and that the Union may be saved ever

A NAME BESTOWED.

The terms anti-slavery and pro-slavery have
generally served the purpose of characterizing
all the varieties of party and opinion that were
heretofore at work upon the question, but the
project for Woodworking and starving out the
slave system of the South, by the introduction
of Chinese coolies into the culture of cotton, at
3D. day, does not come fairly and fully under
either denomination. We propose for it the
title sub-slavery. This prefix expresses our idea
of it exactly and will help to convey it to
others Has English or denationalized Amer

Twin stars upon the sky of Europe's night
Bright heralds of the broad, advancing Light
The surging glory of tho coming day
Pale, midnight Watchers for the coming gray
High prophets Of an age which knows ye not
call ye blessed in your scandaled lot,
For Truth and Fame immortal point your way
o God thy anointed, these, preserve, we pray
To save that Fatherland they love so well
From the foul thraldom of dsspotic sway
Till Freedoms clarion, triumph-note shall swell
Then bid the shouting land its tumults cease,
And wreathe its heroes brows its hsrvests reap, in
