MEMPHIS AND LITTLE ROCK RAILRoAD-- We mentioned last week the gratifying fact that the line of this road was definitely fixed and located. Since then Mr. F. E. Whitfield, the agent of the road has been here, and we learn from him that the line adopted gives en- tire satisfaction to the company and to all con cemed He informed us that it was the design of the company to put the third division, between hero and White river, under contract at an early day. When this shall have been done and our people see gangs" of hands at work on the road, we have no doubt but all the necessary pecuniary aid will be obtained with out delay. We are all ready for the enter- prise, so soon as proper assurances are given that he work will be consummated without de- lay IL is a work of vast importance and of vital interest to this community, and is fully appreciated
 We learn from Mir. Whitfield that the re- sources of the company are ample to complete the first division of the road from Memphis to the St. Frances river and they expect to have it in running order by the first day of January next. From the same source we learn that there is between four and five hundred men engaged in grading, tracklaying, etc, on ths division.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY. - On Saturday evening last many of our citizens witnessed a most melancholy spectacle, the drowning, with Tn few hundred feet of the shore, of three fellow creatures, one of them our lamented and much beloved townsman, Jas. T. Crary, esq. Mir Crary and MT. Cleburne, of this place, in company with Messrs. Humphries, Carroll and Norman, of Mississippi, and Mar ion Hamilton small boy engaged as mail ri- der, in Mississippi, were crossing the river in a skitf, and when near this shore, the skff came in collision with the steamer Robt J. Ward, as she was leaving the wharf, and was capsized. All in the skiff were of course thrown in the river, and, as above stated, Mr. Crary was drowned, and also the mail carrier, and Mir. Carroll. Messrs. Humphries and Norman were saved by clinging on the skif; Mir. Cleburne swam ashore.
 This is indeed lamentable occurrence and truly and sincerely do we sympathise with the relatives of the deceased. In the loss of J. T. Crary we feel that We have been bereft of a worthy and warm hearted personal friend the community of one of its most valued citizens and the profession of which he was. a mem Der one of it's brightest ornaments.
 Truly was J as. T. Crary specimen of Gods nobest work-an honest man.--Helena Shield May 8.
