Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

The Louisville Journal of the ID contains
the following in relation to that end of the
road
The counties have promptly met the interest
for October. The county of Hardin has TO
meet one years curreIt and one years interest
in arrears, which required tax of ninety cents
on the one hundred dollars. The collections
already made, enabled the officers to pay over
$4,000 by the 1st of October, and gave assu-
rance OF q strong probability of paying, in ad>
vance, the April interest by the lst of Jan.
The receipts of the road were for the month
of Sept. S., 657. Cost of running, exclusive of
road repairs and repairing machinery, for the
month, $5l9.
II is thought, after crossing the Rolling
Fork and reaching New Haven, the receipts
for the year will range between ten and fifteen
thousand dollars per month.
There is no road in the United States,
we are convinced, that will pay larger
profits than tdis great thoroughfare when
it is completed. 1t is destined to be the
great line of travel from this and the Gulf
States to the North and East We have
but recently experienced some of the in
conveniences and delays of the present
modes of travel from Louisville, and instead
of reaching home in eight or ten hours
from that city, as conld be done by Rail
road, it took us two weeks to make the
trip.
To come through by stages travellers are
sometimes obliged to wait in Louisville q
week before they can get seat, and to
come by water at this time is out of the
question. Oh, for railroadl

and our own State-if, after the election in
November, it shall appear that Mr.. Buch-
anan has more electoral votes in the North
than Mr.. Fillmore, then that the vote OF
Tennessee in the Electoral College shall be
cast for Mr.. Buchanan; but, if it shall
appear that Mr. Fillmore has larger
number of Northern votes than Buchanan,
then that the vote of Tennessee shall be
given to Mr.. Fillmore. Nothing can be
fairer than this. The proposition is made
to defeat Mr. Fremont, and to prevent the
election going into the House of Repre-,
sentatiVes. People of the South, we ask
you why Democrats have refused this pro-
position? We make it in all sincerity,
believing that the country has everything
to gain by its acceptance.

Gen. zoIIicofscr,s speech.

We spread before the readers of the
Patriot this morning the very able speech
made by our representative in Congress in
this city on the goth of September last.
1t is powerful argument against the De-
mocracy and their nominee for the Presi-
dency, and cannot fail to make a most de-
cided impression wherever it is read.

FILLMORE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,

at meeting Of the Executive Committee
of the friends of FILLMORE & DoNELsoN in In
diana, held at Indianapolis on Wednesday the
oath September, 1856. the following resolu,
tons were adopted:
Resolved, That the statements made by
certain newspapers, to the effect that the
friends of Fillmore g. Donslson in this State,
have united with those of Fremont & Dayton
and will support the same electoral ticket with
them, is not true;-but, on the contrary, that
we have our own electoral ticket, composed
only of FILLMORE MEN, and intend to support
that ticket and no other, without union or fu-
sion with any other party.
Resolved, That the Chairman of this Com
mittee cause this resolution to be published
and circulated as extensively as possible.

We have received the following commu-

The Union and American gives up Penn
sylvunfa and Indfamal

We have long been of opinion that
Pennsylvania would not vote for Mr.. Buch-
anan. Nor have we believed that South
ern Democratic leaders were sincere in
claiming single Northern State for their
candidate. They boastfully told the people
that Iowa and Maine would certainly go
for him. They have not yet recovered
from the disastrous consequences of deceiv-
ing the people in regard to these States.
They would even now be glad to play at
this game of brag, but they see that they
have been only losers at it. The State
: elections are about to come off in Pennsyl
vania and Indiana. The Union and Aneri-
can, in its issue of Friday, gires up these
States an so many words. This was little
more candid than we expected our neigh
bors to be, but they are only breaking the
fall of the Democracy on the I4th instant
We give below every line and word of the
editorial, in order that we may not subject
ourselves to the imputation of garbling the
article 1t is as follows:
PENNsYLvAKIA AND INDIAKA-Great anxiety is
felt throughout the country in the local elections
that are to take place in Pennsylvania and Indiana
on the l4th of this month. Our knowsnothing
friends are congratulating themselves very much
on the certainty OF our defeat and their and the ado
litionists triumph. IL is a singular pleasure they
are taking to themselves, yet it is so We have no
desire TO conceal from our from friends our Sc"
rous apprehensions on the sui ject. The demo-
cracy Of the Northern States are passing through
an ordeal that psrty in the South have never
experienced and can scarcely realise. They OPP
posed by all the natural preju1ices, education and
habit of their own people and fighting sectional
ism 10 their own midst, not for themselves, but for
US, the citizens of the slave States. Against them
are arrayed every character Of combination wealth,
power, talent and general fusion ofaIl the various
elements of opposition. Divided, they could easily
strangle the entire brood of monsters, but coming
in such consolidated trent gives unea6ness to every
true friend Of the Union.
The electoral vote of Pennsylvania is S76, 600.
Of this n1mber the democrats think they still hold
a clear majority. We fear, however, that the re"
suit will show that of that number

"HoRRID MURDER.-Timothy Hay, o resi-
dent of Aurora, Portage county, was found
on the morning Of the l+th, on bis own preu-
ises, with his head completely severed from
the body. and otherwise horribly mutileted,
having the appearance Of having been done
by some sharp instrument An Irishnsu on
the farm, who is known to have had some
difficulty with Hay, is suspected. He IS still
at large"
Many ofthe papers took il for a genuine
occurrence, but some editorial genius has car
ried out the joke By adding the paragraph
below:
Owe learn by gentleman direct from Por-
tage county that Hay, in spite of bis injuries,
has been completely sured. He had narrow
escape, however, and he splemnly realizes
the truth of the scriptural declaration, that
all flesh is grass The perpetrator Of the
act was not an Irishman, as stated, but a Scy-
THAN; he is at present out on straw ball
nevertheless, from the horrible manner in
which he is said TO have mutilated the unfor-
tunate Hay, we shall not be surprised to learn
that he is 10 mOre (mower
