NASHVILLE AND NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD.
The Directors of this road held q meeting
in this city on Thursday. They resolved to
locate their Depot North Of Capitol Hill, at
some point hereafter to be designated. The
Board also passed resolution requiring their
President, Col. GARDNER, to reside in the city.
The sub-letting of contracts on this end of
the road is now in progress, and ground will
be broken Immediately.
We consider the location Of the Depot of
this road on the North Of the city as a fortu-
nate one. 1t will not only tend to preserve
the equilibrium Of business, but will do more
than all else TO put that part Of the city, so
long oppressed by the character of its poPula-
ton, in way Of redemption.
The Nashville and North western Railroad
will now go ahead beyond doubt. The Off
GERS and Directors are men Of energy and ca
pacity, and know no such word as fail. Time
will demonstrate that it is second to no SINH
lar enterpri in Importance to the growth and
prosperity of the city.

are to be appropriated to the purchase of on
appropriate uniform for the company. The
preliminary arrangements are on foot, aud the
officers have very wisely, as we learn, re-
solved to call upon the ladies for their assist
ance. This will ensure the complete success
of the affair beyond a doubt.
