-RoANE COUNTY, Jan. 10.
Mr.. Edaor:--I noticed some time since in
reading over the columns of your paper piece
written upon love and hoonAhine, Isuppose by
some youth of very immaginatiye qualifications,
who perhaps for the first time in his life, had
a chance to meet some fair angel of his ac-
auaintance, upon some peculiarly interesting
moonshining-night, when all around was gayety
and mirith, while the intense Interest OF the oe-
casiOn together with the brilliancy Of his mag
nation combined, to make the scene perfect
enchantment. No wonder the boy was led
away clear out of recollection. Such a Peculi-
arity of circumstances would inspire the great
est droll of all creation, and FIJI his sleep with
pleasant dreams. The moon has long been
held in reverence by the lover for the pleasant
associations; the mere mention inspires and
recalls to his or her mind, the power of intatu-
alton, There is one orb among all the orbs,
that has greater attraction, "'comaH's eye" the
influence of which can only be described by
those who have experienced its dazzling, be-
witching and.penetrating effects. guess your
Loudon correspondent is among that number,
for no man or boy could have written such
piece unless they had been deeply smitten.
shall not here attempt to give a description
OF the influence of woman's eye for am among
that desolate number who have never been
blessed with her smiles, and loving glances. I
have often looked at them with tears in nay eyes,
but it was no use.
Mr. D., the signature over which the piece
appeared, is certainly promising youth, and
will make a man of fine taste, if not niped in
the bud Such aspirations should most certain
ly be encouraged; he undoubtedly deserves
credit for the piece, and the girl who has thus
excited his passion should encourage his suit.
But l do not think his diagnosis will hold
good in all cases, as he gives it, though it does
not produce tremendous palpitation in the re-
gion designated and there is also loss of APP
petite, yet think there is no necessity for the
over acidity of the stomache that he speaks of,
still there would be a sympathetic affection,
though not likelyto produce that effect. L have
far surpassed my intention in the outset, which
was only. to remind D. of his promise, to give
your readers "a more graphical description of
love and moonshine." As he has had all the
opportunities of Christmas excitement ard we
understand the excitement has been intense in
the vicinity of Loudon, together with some ''6ne
nights for the experiment"
We confidently hope to hear from him soon
IN a full display of his Imagination, though no
doubt his experiments will far surpass anything
within the range of the most vivid imagination,
for there are some as pretty girls in the town Of
Loudon, as you will find, some that will bare
competition with the world, and L6udon is as
good point for the moon to display 'her reful-
gent rays of love" as any point in Tennessee.
We hope friend D. will take no insult from
these remarks and insure him there is none in
tended. G.

He lisa public benefactor who, by the prudent
and skilful outlay of his money in lettering this
condition, shall make a single field yield perma-
nently double crop; and he who does this over
square mile, virtually adds square mile to
the national territory-nay, he does more, he
doubles to this extent the territorial resources
of the country, without giving the State any lar
ger actual area to defend. All hail. then, to
the improvers of the soil! health and long life
be their fortune-may their hearts be light and
their purses heavy-may their dreams be few
and pleasant, and their sleep the sweet repose
of the weary-may they see the fruits of their
own labor, and may their sons reap still heavier

4 Tough Coz Story.-A Mr.. Perry, who
lives somwhere on the hill road between this
place and the South Village, on getting up one
morning last week discovered the leg of COW
sticking out of an old well short distance
from the house. On going to the well he found
said COW hanging in the well with her head
downward, her size being too large to admit of
her slipping entirely through the opening at the
top. The neighbors were rallied and after con-
siderable lifting the animal was extracted; when
10, second COW was. found in the bottom of the
well, only in a reversed position; the head being
up. An apparatus was arranged and cow num-
Der two was raised. But the best of the whole
story is the cows came out unscratched, and in
less than hour were engaged in a hard fight
with each other If any of our readers are in
clined to doubt the story, we would respectfully
remind them that TRUTH lies in WE'LL Wood

inq uest on some unfortunate, whose soul, "by
the visitation of PROVIDENCE" had left the
body behind, to undergo, in its turn, a vista
ton of humbug. The twelve jurymen being
assembled, the coroner delivered learned
charge on the duty they were to perform. He
prefaced it by lucid division Of the subject:
Gentlemen Of the jury: in this here inquest,
three p'ints is to be considered: how did this
corp come to its death? Was it, first by ac-
cident; or, secondly, by incident; or, thirdly,
by the hands of the incenduaryI"- Knicker-

Jan. I'd, 1854,

In Congress, BESNETT's Land Bill will, it is
said, be reported forthwith-entire amount of
grants proposed is 59,4O0,OOO acres. 1t is the
only project by which the old States can expect
to secure any part of that magnificent public
property which is about to be distributed 1t
provides for the JONATHAN of each State, except
Texas, of one hundred and fifty thousand acres
for each Senator and Representative, and pro-
poses to cede all the new States, except Arkan,
sas, Missouri and Illinois, which have already
received liberal grants, 100000 acres in add
ton, and to the States of Ohio and Indiana, all
the-public lands remaining within their limits
All grants in the new States are to be applied
to the construction of railroads, but the lands
donated to the older States may be, at the dis
cretion of their Legislatures, appropriated to
purposes of education or internal improvements
This restriction as to the use made of the dona-
ted lands by the new States, is insisted upon by
the members from those States 1t is said
that the bills introduced in the three first weeks
of the session contemplate cession to the
States or to railroad companies of over one hun
dred and twenty millions of acres of public lands.

Lexington and DanUillc Rail Road.-This
road is continuation of the Covington and
Lexington Rail Road, and we are glad to
learn, it is in rapid course of completion. At
present, there is larger fource upon it than
there has been since its commencement There
seems to have been no abatement in its prog.
ress since the cold weather set in. AS an evil
dence of the substantial and costly manner in
which the work on the Danville road is being
done, we need only refer to the suspension
bridge now being thrown over the Kentucky
river. Its length is to be 1900 feet, which
will make it the longest Rail Road bridge in
the world. The foundations of the piers are
laid about 800 feet above the bed of the river,
and are to be built 83 feet high. Large guam
titles of the wire are already on the ground,
and will be placed in It's proper position as
rapidly as human labor, backed by an abun-
dance of capital and energy can accomplish it.
Kentucky seems at length, to have awakened
up to o proper spirit of enterprise, and will
push forward her grand schemes of internal
improvements with an ardor that will ensure
their completion Nashville Wing.

Young AMERICAS Robert said an ndul-

amusing himself in the corner with pulling the
tail of a respectable tabby cat who with the
utmost force of feline lungs was expressing her
Indignation at such 'unfeein' treatment. "Rob-
bert, what would you like to have me buy you
for New Years Present? Shall it be top?'
ga top! No, I'm too old for tops" was the
reply.
"Then perhaps you would like sled or a
pair of skates?"
''No, don't want them"
"Shall get you a bow and arrows picture
book, or what would you like best?"
"Old lady," said Robert, rising with dignity,
"respect the feelings ola gentleman, and do
not aggravate me father; keep your bows and
arrows and picture books for them that like 'em.

The language of China is understood through
out the remote regions of the Eastern world
when written, just as the Arabic numerals are
alike in all the languages of Europe. A man
from the province of Fochau would not under
stand word of the spoken language of Nankin.
A japanese could not make himself understood
to a Chinese; and an inhabitant of Furmosa
could do nothing with an inhabitant of Siam;
but the moment they took pen in hand and
wrote the sign which conveyed the idea, then
all became. perfectly intelligent. DIR. Bowring

millions of human beings, though not more
than forty millions, perhaps could understand

Wehad often heard of the many comforts

of being able to speak from experience until our
recent trip, when we found the half had not

that you can read or converse without the least
disturbance, and with such rapidity, that you
arrive at the various points almost before you
anticipate it. The conductors are gentlemanly
and .unremitting in their attentions, as is also
the case on the Wa A. Rail Road, anticipating
the wants of'the passengers in supplying them
with every thing inItheir power.
