OF selecting point for the beginning NJ
grading ti, Curo aud Fulton railroad, |
have the honor to submit my views as ar
gument tor taking point ou White river,
a. initial ahd tor carrying the work north
wIrdly.
The policy of grading first the division
OF road north OF White river, has coIn-
mcnded itself to me a. best for the early
usefulness Of any finished portion. and a.
among the cheapest and easiest divisions
Of the line.
White river, one Of the best navigable
streams O. all the southwest, entirely reli-
able as an avenue of trade throughout the
year. gives us great facilities in procuring
and transporting material and supplies for
the construction Of the road.
The interests Of the Cairo aud Fulton
railroad company of Missouri will prompt
them to great excrliDns u CO nplete their
road aud make a junction with us--this
being Effected route is assured, connect
ing New Orleans and the whole southern
valley Of the Mississippi river with st.
Louis aud all the northwest, a route always
available aud entirely inIcpo ndont vf tho
Il. n.
The completion OF the Iron Mountain
road to our northern border, will open an
other line Of communication with st.
Louis, aud will throw upon our road an
immense business in passengers and freight.
The country lying northeast Of White
river, between Crawley's ridge aud Black
river, is exceedingly fertile, and viii be
rapidly developed under the influence Of
the road.
1t being essential for the transportation
Of our iron rails, that the work of grading
should be commenced on nlvigabie
stream, there Is uo other division which
fulills this condition and comes within
such moderate cost as 10 insure the com
pliance Of the company with the demands
Of the act of the Legislature, that - miles
Of ;hc road shall be graded before the 26th
November, 1858. Ia this view alone Of the
money question, without regarding the
policy of the company, it seems that there
is really no room for doubt--no opportuni-
ty for choice.

THE INDIANA AND ILLINOIS FREE BANKS

THE INDIANA AND ILLINOIS FREE BANGS
The Cincinnati Gazette Of the 10Th says:
The failure of the Gramercy and Shawnee
Banks of Indiana have caused great deal of
confusion among our money dealers, with ref
erence to the Free Banks of Indiana, Illinois
and Wisconsin, all Of which, just now are look
ed upon with suspicion.
The notes of the following Indiana Banks
were thrown out to-day: Central AID Farmers
and Mechanics Bank of indianapolis; Tippa.
canoe Bank, Loganspor,; and Brookville Bank
BrOokville. The latter bank, however, was
by some considered good, and some of the
houses continued 10 receive notes at par. 1t
is owned and managed, we are informed, by
good and responsible men.
OF the Illinois Banks, the notes Of the fol-
1 lowing were thrown out: State Stock Security
Bank at Danville; Peoples Bank at Carmi;
Prairie State Bank at Washington; Nashville
Bank at Nashville; Agricultural Bank at Ma
rion; Central Bank at Peoria. The Bank of
the Capitol at Indianapolis, the Exchange
Bank at Greencastle, Ind, and the Farmers
and Traders Bank at Charleston, H., are re-
ceived with ds,rust.
What this excitement will lead to it is diff
cult to say. All the Free Banks viii sustain
heavy run, but those that intend to comply
with the new law and continue business will
probably be able to sustain their credit. The
Chief cause of all this trouble lies in the fact
that the owners of the Grameroy and Shaw
nee Banks withdrew their bonds from the
Auditor of State prior to their failure, leaving
nothing in the hands of the State otfic er to
redeem their circulation.

FRIDAY, JAN. %, 1857.


The Maryville East Tenncssean Of last
week, contains the following article
"In orr last Issue two of our fellow citizens
were solicited to permit their names to be used
As candidates for representing Blount County
in the next Legislature, and we expect to hear
Of many other invitations and announcements
but while we acmit this to be an undisputed
privilege, we beg leave to suggest that their
appearance seven months in advance of the
election seems rather premature. 1t will be
the policy of democracy TO get as many Amer
lean candidates in the field as possible, magni-
flying their individual claims for support, and
thus creating jealousies and divisions in the
party.
''Our policy should be to defeat this Strata
gem, by ascertaining-not who can obtain
n1Gng UOtes-but who would be most likely to
obtain the united Uotes, or at least a sufficient
number to insure an election. A proper or
gaDi2ation Of our party is essential to success I;
If we play our cards with judgment, the game
is 10 our hsnds-to lose it, after the recent
victory, would be as objectionable as mortify-
ing, and nothing but carelessness can produce
such a result"
There is great deal of good sense in
this short article 1t is obviously the poll
cy of the democratic party to put off the
selection of candidates as long as possible.
AS our contemporary of the Union and
American expresses itself, tits "bad policy to
commence manufacturing them too early
there is danger of an over supply and
they will be none the better from having
been brought so early in the field !" it
might also have added, such policy may
prevent the democracy from reaping the
advantages Of multiplicity Of candidates
on the opposition side. The Americans
and Wings who are determined, if possi
bic, to save the State from the clutches
Of the Democracy next summer, can effect
their object only by the exercise of the
greatest prudence in the choice of candid
ates, and the utmost watchfulneSS and ener
gy in the prosecution of the canvass. They
have no surplus strength to squander in
disputes amongst themselves, and hence il
is necessary that all who have any aspira
lions for Office should be ready patriot
cally to sacrifice them, when deemed neceS
sary for the good Of the cause. Unless
this spirit governs, we shall be beaten
badly beaten-and the State probably
f" firmly fixed in the democratic familyD
