ATLANTIC, TENNESSEE AND OHIO
RAILROAD.

This road was Chartered by the Legislature of
Tennessee on the 25th February 1851; and We
are pleased to see that the people of upper
East Tennessee, and in fact all along the line
from Charleston, S. c. Cia Charlotte, and
Morganton, N. C. to the Ohio river feel deep
interest in its completion at an early day.
Commissioners have been appointed to open
Books in the Counties ofJohnson, Carter, Wash
iugton, Greene and Sullivan, in this State;
and at Charleston, S. c. tits also recommend.
ed that the Governors of North Carolina and
Kentucky respectively appoint Commissioners
in all the Counties through which this great
thoroughfare will pass. Books will be open
twenty days from first week in July.

the envable character the school has in the

EAST TENNESSEE & GEORGIA RAILROAD
We take the following from the Knoxville Regis
ter. How things change:
In a conversation the other day with Maj
Wallace, the President of the East Tennessee
and Georgia rail road we learned that about
$4,000 have been spent in grading the road
between this place and Loudon. Of this a.
mount about $4,000 have been received from
stockholders in Knox and Roane counties. The
remainder has been furnished by the company.
The energetic President of the road has been
compelled to call into requisition all his fnan-
cial tact in order to keep the work progressing.
This heavy drain upon the resources of the
company has resulted from the stockholders in
Knox county failing to pay up their stock
promptly; for to the shame of the stockholders
in this county-with few noble exceptions
the stockholders in Roane have, as we are in
formed, met their calls promptly. Mai. Wal.
lace informs us that if the stockholders in Knox
had paid up as promptly as those in Roane, the
company would not have been compelled to re-
sort to borrowing to keep the work of grading
III operation.
We have recapitulated these facts for the
purpose Of calling the attention of the necessity
of more promptness in the payment oftheir calls
upon the stock. The completion of the road
has already been delayed very much by the
hardness of the stockholders in this county. 1t
was the intention of the President and Chief
Engineer to have had the road fully completed
and the. airs running to Knoxville on and after
the LIST of September but that's now i'm possible
If the stockholders will now pay up with any
degree of promptness, the road can still he
completed and the cars make trip to Knox
vile on the LIST of January next WI the
Knor county stockholders suffer the completion
of the road 10 be delayed longer than to tha
fine? The RESPONSIBILITY RESTS UPON THEM

The Irish and the Know NOthings.

There was great excitement in Brooklyn on
the 18th inst, owing to the discovery of some
loaded muskets, late Friday night. Some the
Brooklyn police had been informed that fire
arms were Secreted in house on Main street,
near Catharine ferry. They proceeded with
warrants, entered the house and discovered sew,
en- muskets loaded heavily with shot. The &C.
cupant of the house, an Irishman, was arrested.
He admitted the muskets were privately convey
ed to the house for the purpose of selfpreserva-
ton, as he expected that an attempt would be
made to tear the house down tomorrow by the
Know Nothings. There is good deal of ex-
element in that part of Brooklyn to-day, and it
is thought that more fire arms are Secreted.

Coop AND BAD HUMoR,-There is no dispo-

body, putting man in the capacity of enjoying
everything that is agreeable in life and of using
every faculty without clog or impeachment. 1t
dispoSes to contentment with our lot, to benevo-
lence, to all men, to sympathy with the distress
ed. 1t presents every object in the most favor
able light, and disposes us to avoid giving or
taking offence. There is disposition opposite
to good humor, which we call bad humor,
of which the tendency is directly contrary, and
therefore It's influence is as malignant as that OF
the other is salutatry. Bad humor alone is
sufficient to make man unhappy; it tinges
every object with its own dismal color, and like
part that is CALLED, is hurt by everything that
touches it. 1t takes offence where none was
meant, and diSposes to discomfort; ;ealousy,envy
and, in general, to malevolence.-Reido on the
mind.

men will be carried away prisoners, and their
