naissi.sippI Central Railroad
Speaking Of this important work of internal
improvement, the Grenada tMiss,) Republican,
or the 10TH snys.

Speaking Of this important work Of internal
improvement, the Grenada Miss Republican,
OF the 10th, says:
We have been orediby informed that the President
the Central Railroad has succeeded in purchasing iron
the same TO be delivered between the months Of Decs-
next summer, Il which limo thew Vii e able to rrppy
the road with much 1t will require for completion
The company Is working energetcsy, and viii WORK on
both ends Of the road towards the CENTER until finished
We presume this road will be completed about
tho time the Great Northern Road is finished to
jackson. The link between Jackson and Can
ton will be finished in few months The whole
will form a magnificent chain of oommunioa-
ton and, as the Central Road connects with a
road running out from Memphis, we will be
enabled to reach the latter city in about double
the number of hours it now takes days to ac-
complish that feat. ~ 5.s.s,.t
All Of our railroads are progressing slowly,
but surely; and just as they progress, the ad-
vantageous results flowing from such works be-
come more and more apparent. New Orleans
made late start All Of her commercial COM
petitors were far ahead of her when che COM
menced, and she has had many difficulties to
encounter since. Butthese difficulties are being
gradually overcome by the judicious action and
untiring energy of the officers and directors Of
the various roads, for which they deserve the
warm thanks Of the parties directly interested,
as well as the cordial appreciation of the public.
The progress made in the Vicksburg and
Shreveport road, according to the last report,
is exceedingly favorable. Ten miles of rails
from opposite Vicksburg will shortly be laid,
The Opelousas road has got along wonder
fully, all the circumstances considered, and has
progressed beyond the Lafourche Crossing as
far as Tigerville, which secures the freight,
trade and travel, Of several wealthy and popu-
lous parishes.
On the jackson road several miles of rails
will shortly be laid, and the track is graded and
ready for the rails and superstruoture about
twenty miles further on.
These facts show that our railroad prospects
are not SO gloomy as many would imagine. On
the contrary, they look quite promising. The
slow progress that has been made is not as en-
couraging as it might be, but it is infinitely
better than no progress at all. Especially is
this the case when successful result is abso-
lntely sure Of accomplishment, in the long run.

to task for their "ptohibitory laws" forbidding
communication between Norfolk and those cities.

though we are too far removed from the seat Of
excitement to be familiar with the facts Certain
sanitary regulations are doubtless necessary, but

from death, even by the plague, seems measure
of inhumants hardly in keeping with the spirit of
the age. We are all members of common fra
trtnty and all liable to be visited at times with the
hand Of affection, such as is now felt by our sister
city, and we should be ever ready. not only to ex-
tend material aid to the sufferers, but 10 throw
open our doors to our brother man fleeing from dis
ease no less than if he were pursued by an armed
foe. Many might avoid the scourge by leaving the
place, but where have they to go? The door of
their neighbours closed, and many not now infect
ed, or liable even, must remain, and, as theiahab-
itants Of beIeagured city with the hostile foe be-
fore its walls, must wait their summons and pass
alike under the common sword Of the dread
ScouTge.

Snow ARcu AT THE WmTE MTouNTAlNS.-A cor
respondent OF the Boston Transcript, writing from
the White Mountains, gives description OF an
''arching cave VISITED during tGe hot days
OF July. and which served as banquet hail for
dinner party atthas time. A stream was flowing
lsZy through it, increased by the water that rop-
ped from The white aud lteited roof:

GuANo AND yellow FEvER.-We lately copied
from Norfolk paper a statement that Commodore
Cooke, Of the,U. S. ship St. Louis, while on the
coast Of Brazil, had found guano to be preven-
tive of yellow fever; and that he had purchased
the article to bring home for farming purposes.
Com. C. has published card in which he says
the gnano consisted Of only one bag, presented
to him by a friend "a guano dealer) in MOntevi-
dec. where his ship was lying at the time. He
then adds:
No opportunity then offering Of sending the gu
ano direct to the UGited States, ii ordered 10
be placed in the bag Tack, the beIth.deck OF tile
st. LOUIS, where IL renamed for many months
without being particularly thought Of. During
the time the ship visited Rio in company with the
tngate Brandywlne. where the yellow fever pre-
vailed. After remaining in port sufficiently long
to watec aud provision the shlps they proceeded
to sea, where The yellow fever soon made its ap.
peaEance on board the Brandywine, carrying oil
several officers and number Of the crew, the St.
Louis escaping entirely. This. gave rise!to some
reflection on my part 10 know how It was that the
ship Icommanded should be exempt from the ina
lady whieSt vessels of almost every nation ia port
were suffering. So it occurred to me that the gu
ano, under Divine influence, might have had an
agency in the matter; hence, some months after,
when duty required that the ship should again vi
sit the same port, where the yellow fever was still
raging, | detsrlnined to give the guano Il more
efectunl trla, and had it divided lOr more equal
distribution by putting ii int" tour bags, two on
each side Of the berth deck, where it kept.

SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION Thirteen
years ago Harvey Rice. of Auburn. New York

when he met with an accident. The Portage De-
mocrst says
The brother fred his rife, when the ball, str;k-

shoulder, intiicttEg severe wound Physicians

tract the ball, but were unsuccessful. From that
time Mt. Rice has suffered immensely, and had
nearly lost the use of hIs arm. The wound has
never ceased to discharge secretions. l.: this con-
dhion, suffering severely and almost despaiung Of
relief, he applied few days ago to DR.. Pratt OF
this vtllage-who recommended to hima the only
hope of relief, the extraction OF the bullet. 10
thus he assented, and ON Saturday last Dr.. Pratt
visited him at his residence and extracted the ball.
BY all external examination, it was impossible to
ascertain its precise location; but the sklIul sur
geon, from critical examinations with unelHng
judgment reached the point OF difficulty. The
bullet having forced its way down from the shout
der, was found under the shoulder blade, resting
on Of the ribs, which had arrested its profess
and probably saved the patients life. An incis-
ion thtee inches in depth by foMr inches in length,
enabled the surgeon to extract the ball, inch was
partially flattene aud the elgeS were jagged and
sharp. The patient is doing well, and has lair
prospect of recovering his health, and receiving
the use OF his arm.

While there is no Iandholder in the world more

RENARKNpLE occuRRENcE--A Circumstance of
an extraordinary character occurred short time
since in one OF the tiOurshing towns Of the md

agreed, ere the grave CLOSED over him. that the boz

the attendants, took off the ShEoud aud placed the
body in the requisite position; but other duties re-

the bed, the lady commenced and went through an

OF the proceedings, by some unaccountable motion
the head of the death like figure fell on the side
Nothing daunted, the artist carefully took the head
to replace it. when 10 the eyes opened, aud star
ing her fill in the face, the dead inquired, .Vho
are you!" The young professional, without tre-
pidatinn, took the hardage of from the head and
rubbed his neck. He Immediately saw the sh:outl
