Memphis & Little Rock railroad.

A writer in the Nasville Banner. over
the signature of Tennessee" who appears
thoroughly acquainted with the subject, and
whose arguments will, no doubt, have iu-
dicous effect on the action of our Legisla-
ture, comes out strongly in favor of the en-
dorsement by the State of the bonds of the
city of Memphis, amounting to 1856, 900,
which she has given for tha purchase of the
rails for the Railroad now being constructed
between Memphis and Little Rock. A bill
for this purpose has been reported on favora.
bly, by the Internal Improvement Commit
tee of the House, and is now pending be-
fore that bo6y. he-author of the commu-
nication takes ground that the constructiofi
nolc. or within the next two or three years,
of Railroad from our own State to the
capital of Arkansas, connecting as it will
with Railroad from the capital to Fulton,
and by Fulton with the Western extre nifty
of Texas, will inevitably make Tennessee a
portion of the grand route for the Great
Pacific Railroad. Also that the State is
not required by the bill to cont ibatte any,
thing towards the making of this road, but
is merely asked to say that Memphis is good
for the payment of S350,00O. principal and
interest and this, too, under the endorse
ment of the bonds by the Memphis and Lit
tic Rock Railroad Company In conclu-
sion, the writer says: If the State were
asked to subscribe $350,000 for Railroad
from Memphis to Little Rock, we think she
would be wise in making the expenditure
but when she is merely requested to give
her countenance to the enterprise, well
knowing that it can cost her nothing, we do
no; see how the distinguished body which
represents her. in the capital, can hesitate,
even for day
We think there will be no hesitancy with
the Legislature; disregard of sectional
jealous;es, and an impartial consideration of
the benefits to be derived by the entire
State, must produce conviction Of its utili.
ty in the minds of our representatives.
We are happy to perceive that our friends
of the Banner, hitherto adverse to the prop
osition advocated. have come out unquali-
fedly in its favor.

THE WARRIOR AND HIS SwoRD-d Fa-

the blade of bis sword by the light of lamp,
which was suspended over polished mahog-

face of the table. said the sword, "and then
tell me what you see.''

tion on the other
Very true answered the sword; "and
their starting points touch, do they not!"
They touch," said the warrior
Now lift my point higher in air.
He did so; and the higher the sword arose.

the streak of darkness
Now, lower me, point downwards." said
the blade
And. To- the more rapid the descent. the
more rapidly did the two contrasting columns
approach each other
Thou hast taught me good lesson"
said the warrior, shcathing his weapon, and
uttering short prayer. 1T is even so with
the human soul in her downward flight from
virtue; it is thus that, when in contact with
the earth. she reflects gleam of heaven on
one side, and casts shadow of sin on the
other. These two touch each other when
she touches the earth. and recede continual

FROM UTAH-Elder Orson Hyde an
nounces. by private letter to friend at
st. Louis, that in Provo, town fifty miles
South of Salt Lake City, where the wheat
crop was mostly destroyed by grasshoppcrs.
honey dew had fallen so bountifully on
the small cotton woods along the river banks
that the citizens were washing the leaves
and boiling the syrup into sugar. One
person will make ten pounds of beautiful
sugar III day. This would bring 81 in
