Shade and Light.-"There are two worlds
we live in, x And there are wilder bat
tefelds than Waterloo in one of them; and fer
Ger storms than shake navies to pieces and
more terrific volcanoes than outward ones-5at-
tefelds of the heart-tempests of feeling, and
volcanoes of passion. And there are victories
whose ruin is greater than defeat-victories won
over blasted affections, By renouncing love and
confidence forever. Thus we live-our heads
above water and our hearts under it. All the
splutter and motion is on the surface but the
deep, dark tides and boiling eddies are be-
neath."-[ Headly's Letters from Italy.

EARNINGS OF WESTERN RAILWAYS, AND TIE
RETURN OF CAPITAL TO THE PEoPLE.-JGst at
the time, the earnings of Western railways are
a subject Of great importance. Has the expe-
rience Of Western railways justified the expec-
tations of their friends? Have they returned to
the people more money than could have been
derived from any other business? If these
questions are all answered in the affirmative,
then capital will seek investment in them, and
new lines Will be built, in spite of any temporal
ry pressure for money, and in spite of all croal-
ings from any qnarter. Money seeks profitable
employment, in whosoever hands it may be. IF
it be clearly proved that any branch of business
will pay 10 per cent, after paying all the cost
of labor, rents, and raw material, money will
always be found for it. In order to test the re-
suits Of Western railways, we give the earnings,
or an estimate Of them, of some Of the princi
pal Western roads, derived from the latest Off

This period was followed by one of great
mercantile depression. The storm swept over
the Western country, in 1919, TO- 49, prostra-
ting every banb-making all property unsalea-
ble and requiring ten years for the people to
recover from the shock. Ten years after this,
the average imports Of the country were forty
millions less per aiutnm, and in that period the
country recovered its prosperity, and elasticity.

agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures
We take the following extract from an article
on South America and Amazonia, by Col. J. H.
Hammond, published in the last number Of the
Southern Quarterly Review:
"Agrculture, the basis of civilized pursuits,
and the noblest Of all human ayocatons, it is
very true is of slow growth. 1t does not burst
into lusty life in single day, nor can it accu
mulate large surpluSeS of production, under
series Of years. Commerce, her handmaid, de-
pendent on these surpluSes for Hutriment, is nee
eSsarilY less rapid in advancement. But they
are recipTocay stimulative. The one urges to
increased industry, to varied application of la
Dor, to skilful adaptation Of known arts, in or
der to induce the largest possible yield FROM
mother earth. The other, when vigorously and
successfully prosecuted, eXcites eager competi-
ton, demands speedy and secure transportation
of its fruits; awakens the genius, which detec
ted the force of steam; and applied the principle
to ocean navigation; applied it again to the
iron steed that annihilates distance between in
land points, and created the electric telegraph,
which out speeds time itself?
Commerce has other, and, perhaps, not less
important influences. While it may be Justly
argued, that mercantile Phoenicia and Carthage
in ancient times, and Venice, Genoa and POrtu-
gal in modern, were less r:fned, the former
than Greece and Rome, The latter than France
and England, yet it is incontestible that CON-
merce is not only the means and the vehicle Of
enriching its patrons by the interchange of ma
tional products, but likewise of communicating
knowledge between nations. Her own country
may be, and often is, delivered to sordid acqui-
ston, in disregard of the arts which polish, the
military ambition which gives dignity and force
-of eharact.g, and tie moral principle which in
spirationS iS5lity Of sentiment ana g1Uv;troTI or
conception, but she watts from region to region
the discoveries, the inventions, the new ideas
and principles of the age. She awakens thought,
she arousos latent energies, she breaks the SOM
nolency Of remote and solitary people, she in
stills great principles of social and political
freedom, she finally sows all the necessary seed,
the regeneration of natonl Her mission is
glorious one whether reaction tends or not, to
the benefaction of her own country. These two,
give birth to the great third power in prosperity
of apeople-manutactures. 1t is subordinate
the others, but it is equally necessary in the
economy of mankind, and it exerts whole
some influence on the prosecution of the other
pursuits"

The reelection of Hon. John Bell of ofTennes-
see, to the United States Senate, affords gener-
al satisfaction. Even the Administration party
of which he stands opposed, seem content to,
have him continue in the public councils, which
he adorns by his dignifed bearing and superior
talents, in preference to new men of untred
capacity and little experience, one of whom
they might possibly have elected by coalescing
with that portion ofthe Wing Legislature OF the

Tie Peai!entimy-"C -"Cumberland, Sr.," the
Nashville Correspondent of that excellent paper
the Memphis Eagle & Enquirer, in a recent
letter gives the following brief but interesting
sketch of the condition of the Penitcntiary, as
exhibited by the late Report Of the Inspector.
and Keeper:
The report of the Inspectors and Keeper Of
the Penitentiary, is an interesting document,
rranared with rreat care and deyelopment,whi
friends of education and temperance men will
seize upon with avidity. The proceeds of the
labor of the manufacturing cOnvicts who are
one-halfthe whole number,f for twenty-one months
amount to $j6,455 IL. The otherhatare engag-
cd upon the Capitol, and for their labor the
State is charged $55,l59 35, while the actual
appropriation by the State has been only S20,-
600. The balance in favor of this institution,
after deducting expenses, NC, Is $50, los 81,
including State indebtedness. The number OF
convcts increases rapidly, and although, since
the Ist January, 1852, thirty-two new cells have
been built, more are wanted to accommodate
prisoners. The Legislature will be compelled
to enlarge, very greatly, the present building,
or to build new one in the western part OF the
State: the latter alternative will bemost prcba
Dly TeSOElSu W.
The number of eonvicts now in the confne
ment is two hundred and forty; of these, two
hundred and two were temperate before SEN
teuce. Sixty-three could neither read nor write.
Sixty-two could read only one hundred and
five could only read and write. Seven have
had common English education and only three,
classical education. The fathers Of forty-three,
were temperate; of one hundred and twenty
FIVE Incorporate, and of seventytwo common
drunkards. One hundred and tweHty-seven
acknowledge that they were intoxicated at the
time they committed the crimes of which they
were convicted. Only seven have died in twen-
ty-one months. Your end Of the State has
large representation, and Of the whole number
fifty are from the county of Shelby alone. In
a walk through the institution afew days since,
found every thing in the most complete order
The kitchen as clean and neat as new pin,
and the cells, although too close, looking more
comfortable than could be expected. Mr. Hays
is model Keeper, and it will be a source of
regret, if through party spirit the State is de-
prived of his services. The mechanics OF our
city have held many meetings, and remonstra-
ted against the manner in which the convicts are
employed. In this they are right. The Legis-
lature should adopt some plan by which men,
often convicted of the most infamous crimes,
shall not be brought in competition with a most
worthy class of the community, and think 1t
will be done.

How very true and beautiful is the express
sion ofthis single stanza:
There are some happy moments in this lone
And desolate world of ours, that will repay
The toll of struggling through it, and atone
For many long and sad night and weary day?
They come upon the mind like some wild air
Of distant music, when we know not where
Or whence the sound are brought from; and
their power,
Though brief, is boundless.

LOUDON:
THE LOUDON FREE PRESS"
For 1853.
FRIDAY, NOV 25, lS53.

Having assumed the onerous and responsible
duties of public journalists, we feel the Just de-
sire tc increase the circulation Of our paper,
as it will not only increase our capabilities OF
doing good, but at the same time give US rea-
sonabe remuneration for our labors. To ac-
complish this desirable end, we have determin-
ed to send out this Prospectus with request
that all who feel an interest in the increased
circulation of our paper will send us the largest
number of subscribers they possibly can. Yet,
we cannot make this request without rendering
appropriate acknowledgements to several friends
whose exertions in procuring US subscribers have
not been mnoticed by us.
We deem it unnecessary to occupy lengthy
exposition of the leading features Of the FREE
PRESS. It's political complexion is uncompro-
misingly WHG-but we are truly glad that the
evil times of unrelenting political warfare has
for time at least ceased. and those SO long and
so recently in antagonistic array, are drawing
together in friendship and in purpose, to mingle
united effort and united wisdom to advance the
interests and the true glory Of The idad. We
look to the promotion Of the interests ofAgrlcul-
ture. of Manufactures and of Commerce, as
being by far more important to the improve
ment of the country, than any political issue
upon which the American people are extensively
divided These great interests shall have our
warmest support. Our leading aim shall be to
arouse uuJIic sentiment to the Importance OF
industrial progress-of enriching our fields, of
beautifying our homes-cf starting up the busy
hum of industry and enterprise.
As to the merits Of the FREE PRESS it is for
the public to judge-we can only claim that we
have earnestly endeavored to publish paper
worthy of public patronage. 1t is filed with
readable matter-containing the latest Foreign
and Domestic News-full and impartial quota
tons of the Produce Markets of Loudon, Au-
s-usta, Savannah, Macon Charleston, and Nash
Willie. with occasional quotations from other i'm
portant points---together with the prices and
nuraber of Hogs sold in Cincinnati each week
during Packing season--also the prices OF Pork
at numerous other points, so as to give our Ira
ders broad and correct basis of judgement in
REGARD to this important article CT trade. In
a word. our paper is for the business men OF
East Tennessee.
We are anxious to increase our circulation,
and have determined to offer the FREE PRESS
