people who live above the raft to do =
Strange as it may appear, Mr.. Editor, and
delusive as it will prove to be. there are
many of our citizens who are looking for
relief to the Cairo Il Fulton Railroad, and
hence, considerable amount of stock has
been taken in that road, which should have
been taken in the Mississippi, Ouachitaand
Red river railroad
That this road will be built, whenever
it is certain that it can connect with rail-
road commencing at Fulton, and running
through Texas to the Pacific, there can be
no doubt. That it will be built sooner, no
one believes. Whenever it is built, it will
be done by capital abroad, or out of this
State, and no stock taken here, will hasten
its completion to Fulton a single hour
That when built, it will be used to convey
our cotton to market, can hardly be imagin-
ed The object of the people in the South
ern portion of the State, is not to take their
cotton to Cairo, or to Memphis. latter
| being, at best. an intermediate market,
three fourths of the cotton sold there, is sold
gain in New Orleans. What benefit then,
it may be asked, would the planting inter-
est in this part of the State. derive from
this road, even if it were now completed to
Fulton
1t is not my object to disparage in the
slightest degree, the Cairo & Fulton railroad
If ever built, it will be of incalculable
benefit to the State at large. My only rea-
son for alluding to it, at ALL was to show
that it will never answer the purposes of the
planting community in the Southern portion
of the State
The question still remains to be answered,
what are we to do for an outlet to mark
ct I? But one answer can be given-buald
the mississippi, Ouachata and Red RE
er railroad. But say the people, we are
not able to build it. The young man who
asked our Savior what he must do to inher-
it eternal life, was told to sell all his goods
and give to the poor. He declined the offer,
and thereby lost the inheritance. You, my
fellow citizens, can build this road on easier
terms. If necessary, sell half your lands
and give to the railroads.&c. remaining
half will be worth more to you then than
the whole is now. Build this road and you
will have cheap safe, and constant convey
ance for your products to market. Build
this road, and you will thereby build up
town in your own State at the Mississippi
terminus, where you can sell all your pro-
ducts. and buy whatever you may need
Build this road, and you will build up schools,
colleges, and churches all over the land
Build this road, and you will induce a
wealthy immigration from the older States
to settle along the line, who will help you to
support it and to pay the revenue to the
State. SPRING HILL.

WANTED TO DtE.-An athletic Irishman called
at the office Of the health Commissioner yesterday
and asked permission TO go to Norfolk TO nurse
the sick. lie stated that he was an entire stranger
in the city, without means, and had vainly endeav-
ore' 10 procure employment; that he had walked
from Pennsylvania and had SubSSted on fruit
plucked by the wayside. He thought that If he
went 10 Norfolk the chances were that lie would
take the fever and die, which would put an end TO
all his earthly tiouGles. In consequence OF re-
quest tosend no more, his application was rejected,
aud he left the place, sorrOwlnl that be could not
have an opportunity 10 die. There are many in

are few, indeed, who deliberately desire 10 pass
from among men TO be numbered among the dead.

SimUd, i'll Japan, that an American trading vessel
Ia brig or schooner had arrived there, having on
board some merchants Americana aud their wives,
and that the Japanese authorities had opposed

America left there, the vessel had sailed. No
Reason is given Tor the ungailant conduct Of the

PRIEST OR A BRANDY PUNCH.
A Mexican was arrested and brought TO Moke
lumne Hill as one OF gang of murleTeEs. The
newspaper states:
Geo. Durham, Esq, vas in his buggy with the
prisoner, and when opposite the sentinel Office
the immense crowd took possession OF horse, buggy,
prisoner and all, conducted him to the Chang
tree," aud when there party of citizens were
appointed TO examine him.
He said he was i'll The power OF the Americans,
and knew he had TO die, and wished to have bus
face washed and his llair cOmbed, which was
granted. He then SAID he would like priest 10
confess himself; this being refused, he called fOr
brandy punch, which was given 10 him.
The crowd here became restless aud impatient,
aud called for his hanging, which was immsdIatel
dune.
The Mexican was run up and held there for
a short time, then lowered, when gIeat%lfhcuIIy
was encountered in getting the rope loosett iEOm
his neck. 1t was finally cut looS=; meantime lie
suIere excrucLting pain, rolling his eyes about,
throwing lis head and body about at random, aud
making loud gurglmg noise with his throat
When the rope was taken from his neck, he re-
vived, and asked for brandy and wateIY and said
he would like to talk, but 1t was Of no use, as the
people would not believe anything he said, and lie
wished they would Hill him outright, or bring
some Of his friends. lie said if the Americans
would arm themselves aud take him wit them, he
cOnld point ont every man that was connected
with the RancheTa Affair.
at this moment al American, who was pre- sent
when he confessed to officer Clark, stepped Tor
ward and stated that The Mexican had told Mr,
Clark, IN his aud the presence OF other Americans,
that he belonged 10 thegang, and was al Rauche-
Eln-that they had ali taken an oath rather to die
than expose each other. aud that he knew all con-
nected with the band well, and many other things,
amounting 10 the fact that he vas as ''deep in lie
mud as the rest We're in the mire." The Mexican
denied saying so, however. The crowd, who
could not hear half that said, again became
impatient, and cried out run I'm up winch was
Immediately done, aud he at this moment, 30 min
utes after II O'Clock, hangs suspended by the
neck from the memorable limb OF the old chang
tree"
We are in doubt whether this Mexican was really
guilty.
