The undersigned, having been appointed
Agent of the American Colonization Society
for the State of Tennessee, would respectful
ly and earnestly beg the cooperation of the
good people of this his native State, ia an
effort to secure to the free colored population
OF our country, comfortable home in their
father-land, in the new and hourishing Re
public of Liberia. During the past year Ten
nessee sent sixty-six emigrants to Liberia,
and contributed the sum of l,j5S so to-
wards detraying the expenses Of their coloni-
cation. Can We not accomplish much more
during the present year! Funds are very much
needed 10 carry forward the work. Twelve
emigrants from Tennessee were reported as
ready to sail in the May expedition, and sew
enteen, rs ready to 90 in the expedition to
be sent ont next fall. Hundreds, yes thou.
sands, more should soon be sent from this
State, where they have not the rights of citi-
zens, to that land where they can enjoy all
the sweets of liberty. The best interests of
our citizens demand this; the interests of the
free colored people among US demand it; the
welfare and glory of the Republic of Libra
demand it; and the interests of long degraded
and oppressed Africa demand it. Let us
citizens of the " Volunteer State"-do what
we can to send the FIRE people Of color from
among us, to their proper home in the land
given to the coored man by the God of ma
tUre.
All persons, in Tennessee, having informa-
ton concerning those among w desiring to
go to Liberia, or concerning donations or be
quests made, or desired 10 be made, to the
Colonization Society, will please address me

The GREATEST GRAIN DEPoT IN THE
WoRLD.-1he Free Press, published at
Chicago, claims for that city the distinction
of being the largest primary grain depot in
world. Certainly, if this is true, and the
figures are given to establish it, the facts is
slrikingly Indicative of the miraculous pro-
gress of the country. But few years ago
the country which now supplies the immense
trade was an uncultivated wilderness, and
vas; as has been its development, its teemiHg
area is yet only dotted over with cutivators,
in comparison with the densey populated
districts of the old world. Incredible as has
been our progress, we but family ioreshadow
the future greatness Ofour country if those
who control its destiny, do not by their own
folly, cripple its energies. We were forcibly
impressed few days since, in reading the
reply of the European sovereign TO an
American citizen, who had applied to him for
the privilege of connecting submarine mag
netic telegraph Though some of his possess
sions. Said he, would not have listened to
the proposition, had it been made by Il citizen
Of any other country on the globe, but there
is nothing which the energy and enterprise
OF the American people cannot accomplish,
and | grant you the privilege asked. The
tribute was merited.
Ours is great country, and our popua-
ton is worthy of it. In all that ingenuity
can suggest, or energy accomplish, the uni
versal Yankee nation leads the balance of the
world.

Palmetto timber for the wharves at Fernan-

0-y' A rough diamond was recently picked
up near Manchester, Virginia, n small town
opposite Richmond. The New York Herald
says:
The stone is about the size Of basel hut,
and weighs forty-three carats. 1t has flaw
in the centre, but it is otherwise quite promis.
ing. The Richmond jewellers estimated its
value at four thousand dollars, and claim that
II is the largest diamond ever found in North
America. We presume that it win be sub
mitted to the inspection Of some of our lapi-
daries, and TINT a scientific report will be
made. II was found in clay bank, about
two feet from the surface. There are coal
and iron mines in Che vicinity.

Consolidation Of the too Divisions Of The
Memphis and Ohio RaiIroad-We cut the
following from the Memphis Wing of the
23d:
The public will be pleased to hear that
there is every prospect Of a speedy compile
zion of the Memphis and Ohio Railroad, to
the Kentucky State line.
The difficulties which existed, arose from
the wording of the charter granted by the
last Legislature, which prevented the Clarks
vile Division from receiving State aid beyond
the Tennessee river. This obstacle has been
removed by the consolidation of the Roads,
suggested by the Board of Directors of the
GAINESVILLE and Louisville Road, through their
President, Gustavus A. Henry, and accepted
on Saturday, by the Memphis and Ohio Road.
We trust now, to hear speedy good reports
from the Eastern division of this most i'm
portant and necessary work. Under the re-
spective control of such men rs Henry and
Topp, these two divisions must progress with
energy, and soon unite upon some middle
ground.

The Shortest and Quickest Route from
London to Shanghai, and around the World.
The Washington Union published an arti-
Gle, short time since, in which it maintained
that the entire travel and the transportation
between London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Vi
emma, ST. Petersburg, with southern China, is
to cross this continent at no distant day 1t
can be conveyed in less time by ten or fifteen
days, than BY the overland route. Shanghai
dates, are upon the average, sixty-iive days
old when they reach England. This speed
is not likely to be considerably accelerated.
Now, let us see-in what time we can take
them to London From Shanghai to San
Francisco, via Jeddo and Honolulu, twenty
days; from San Francisco to New Orleans, via
the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, eleven days;
from New Orleans to New York by railway,
five days; from New York to London, ten
days-tota forty-six days. We believe, says
the Union, that in ten years this result will
be witnessed, and when there shall be con-
tinuous rail lines from one ocean to the other,
the time will be reduced at least six days.
