ing or equipping ships of war. Memphis "as a
constructive Yard" is important to the South
and West, for the consideration that without it,
our whole coasting trade on the Gull, throughout
a protracted war, might be destroyed at no
greater cost to the enemy than keeping three or
four small steamers in commission there, be-
cause the Atlantic ports being blockaded, no
vessel could escape from them, or if they could,
an enemy's squadron off the Bahamas, would
divert them from course toward the Gulf 1t
is true that even with every facility here for
building ships we might have this trade for
time destroyed, but we should then, at least,
compel the enemy to do this work at some cost
to himself as well as to US.

ROAD COMPANY.

The Cincinnati r. r. Record of the 18th
saws: "We see by an advertisement in the
Journal and Visitor published at Jonesborough,
East Tennessee, that books have been opened
for the subscription to the stock of this compa-
ny at several places in that state, IN conformity
with the charter, granted February %, 1881.
We cannot learn from this advertisement
what the proposed route is to be, and shall look
for further information to the action of the COM
missioners who were to have assembled at
Jonesborough on Monday, I'd, inst7 to organize
the company.
Eastern Tennessee and South Carolina seem
to be suddenly re-awakened to the availability OF
a direct connection with the Ohio river at Gin
cinnnati. We trust that it may result in some
ting definite; that rival interests will unite their
means and energies and agree on some COM
mon route, so that it may be eventually com
pleted.

RIGHTS OF AMERI-
CANS.

The following are not enumerated by the
Declaration of Independence, but contain a
deal of sarcasm, as well as more than one I'M
portant lesson:
To know any trade or business without ap-
premiership or experience.
To mary without regard to fortune, state OF
health, position or opinion of parents or friends
To have wife and children dependent on
the contingencies of business, and, in case OF
sudden death, leave them wholly unprovided
for.
To put off upon hireling strangers the htera-
ry, moral, and religious education of children.
To teach children no good trade, hoping they
will have when grown up, wit enough to live on
the industry of other people.
To enjoy the general sympathy, when made
bankrupt by reckless speculation.
To cheat the government if possible.
To hold Office without being competent to
discharge its duties.
To build houses without nine or sixinch
walls, and go to the funerals of tenants, fremen,
and others, killed by their fall, weeping over the
mysterious dispensation of Providence.
To build up cities and towns without parks,
aud call pestilenee visitation of God.

THE SEIGE OF SEvASTOPOL.

1t is confirmed that on the 18th Sept, Eupa
toria was occupied without opposition by 1000
Turks, 1000 French and 1000 English troops
The advanced guard was under command OF
Prince Napoleon. On the 18th, the main army
landed unopposed, halfway between Enpatoria
and Sevastopol horses, artillery and munitions
all safely. The Russians retired in good order
as the Allies landed
Menschikof, who had his headquarters at
Simferopol, Immediately advanced to Burstuck,
on the river Alma, where he awaits reinforce
ments, to give battle to the allies.
1t was confidently stated on the Paris Bourse
that on the 18th the allies and Russians met
and battle ensued. The French came first
into action-the English soon came up, and the
Russians retired with much loss. If true, this
occurring On the 10Th could only be skirmish-
ing, not battle between the main armies.
The Russian Embassy at Vienne had receiv-

GET CLEAR IDEAS OF THE QUESTION

GET CLEAR IDEAS OF THE QUESTION.
There is good lesson in the following from
the New York Daily Advertiser;
The difficulty as often lies in determining and
comprehending what the question is, as 1t does
in finding out what the disease is. When these
are found out, the solution of the question, and
the remedy for the distemper are comparatively
easy. The medicines which any school actual
" uses may answer very well. One must not
repose too much faith in physie, nor in logic
A good instinct, or a piercing intuition,is some
times better than either. Some clear-sighted
judges in their perspicuous way OF stating
case, render it almost superhuous for them to
proceed in delivering a detailed opinion.
Some, for example, besides children, have
been puzzled to see any difference between the
numbers six dozen dozen, and half dozen
dozen. And this was from negecting to have
clear ideas of what the question was. Had
they but paused to reflect moment how much
half a dozen was, they would never have con-
iectured it to be equal to six dozen. Get, then,
In all lnveSuSatlOnS cledr Iue0' vi "n"'U my
question is, and perspicuous mode of stating
it. Some for want of this valuable talent, have
written an octave that might be answered IN
the compass of a paragraph. Three are rea-
soners who resemble the poor traveller, who got
bewildered in strange forest. He travelled
smartly forward for hours, and now and then
passed very pretty cottage, and caught glimpses
there of enviable pastoral felicity. By and by
he through striking similarity prevailed among
them, so he stopped at one and inquired the
reason. The answer was. "Why, sir, there is but
one house in all the forest and you have been
riding past it in a constant circle" The gen.
tleman was soon shown his way out of the laby-
rinth by one who knew what the true position
was.
