Freights from Nashv lille.

In a late letter we alluded to the astonishing diff
ference in the freghts in favor of the route via
Cincinnati to New York, from Nashville, over that
by Charleston or Savannah The freight on a bar
rel of -four, by the former route to New York, is
81 As, while by Charleston or Savannah it is 81 90
From Nashville TO Charleston, about 600 miles it
is 40, or within five cents of the entire charge
by the other route, of 900 miles, 500 of which
are bg railroad. This of course amounts to a pro-
hibition to the immense business of al that section
of Tennessee and the Vest which has river ac-
commodation TO Cincinnati Our railroads are con-
stanLly devisiBg means TO secure "feeders" from
the interior, ant yet they adopt tariff of charges
that tends drive off even the legitimate tributa-
res of their business to other opening channels to
the North. We hold Conventions to foster South
ern Commerce, and encourage Southern lines o.
steamers and actual force the production OF South
soil 10 seek Northern avenues to Northern mar
kets thus sappiug instead Of building up tue Conf
merce of the South, and discOuraging any praeti-
cable movement for its development.
Putting down freghtS on our roads low enough
to compete with other routes 10 other markets,
would 90 more for Southern Commerce, and for
the prosperity of the Southern cities competing
for such trade than the Southern Conventions will
accomplish in the next fOrty-nine years. Why
Southern railroads, with fuel and labor far cheap
er than they are at the North or West should
charge one-lourtb more for one-fourth less service,
Is passing strange. We seem not TO apprcciat {
the policy of a small profit on large business. -

ia The Projectors of the Union and
american propose to publish, during. the
coming session of the Legislature, an edi-
ton of their paper filed exclusively with
legislative proceedings. In the following
article, they set forth their design:
Legislative Union and American.
Tt has long been a favorite scheme of the pub
fishers Of this paper to give fuller and reada-
bic reports of the proceedings Of the Legislature
than have ever been given by any paper 10 Nash
VILE The cost of the enterprise has hitherto de-
tered US from undertaking it. But regular
subscription lst, which, prior to May, 1865, had
never amOunted TO $500 now exceeds 1000, and we
at length feel strong enough for the undertaking.
We are making arrangements for a full corps Of
professional reporters, and will issue, during the
first week Of the ensuing session of the legislature
the first number of THE LEGISLATIVE UNION AND
AMERICAN. Il will be published weekly oftener
during the session, the proceedings shall require,
in quarto form. From twenty five to thirty num-
bers will be issued; and the series will, when com
plete, form vouma Of between 200 and 800 pages,
convenient for binding and reference. 1t wi con-
tain the messages of the Governor, reports of pub
lie officers, and sketches of the debates in both
Houses. In Short it will furnish a omplete and
Ineligible history of the Legislation of the session;
not Ouiy of what is d0Re but of what is said. 1t
VIII be our ambition 10 make the LEGISLATIVE
UNION AND AMERICAN strictly impartial in its
sketches, and work which shall be recognized as
authority by both parties. None of our own notes
aud comments on the proce dings Will appear in IL
They will be confined to our regular editions. 1t
will thus be work indispensable to the politician,
and the value of which will be Increased by time.
We establish it q fixture Of our oihce, and viii
transmit it to successors as one of the mOstIm
pOrtant branches OF our business. Mr., A. (. Dra-
pier, already well known to of cur citizens as
steuOgrsphic reporter, will have the principal
charge OF our reports, and he will be assisted by
other equally competent professional reporters.
The price of the LEGISLATIVE UNION AND AMERI-
CAN will be dollar for the SERIES six copies
20 one address for five dollars invariably a: adj
rance. It is not purpose to send out any pros
pcctus other than this. Postmasters throughout
the State are authorized to act agents, and We
will te under great obligations toany other friends
Who wi forward listsof subscribers.
Having thus developed the outlines Of our plan,
submit it to the people of the State, and ask for
it thu encouragement it deserves Union and

among hucksters to maintain high prices for
articles even at the risk of losing their entire
stock on hand. Rather would they throw it

those who can least afford it.. The time has
come when some check should be put upon
this thing. Better that our citizens would en-
courage farmers, or country producers, TO
sell their own goods direct, even at better
rates than they get from hucksters. Then We
would have greater confidence, get better ar
ticles, and avoid the annoyance and expense
of these useless mediators. a drink of wa

a RECIPE WORTH ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
Take one pound of soda and half a pound of
unsiaked lime, put them in a gallon of water,
and, let them boil twenty minutes; let it stand
till cool; then drain off and put it in a stone
jug or jar. Soak your dirty clothes over night
or until they are wet through; then wiring them
out and rub on plenty of soap, and in one boil
er of clothes well covered with water, add one
tea spoonful Of the washing find. Boil an hour
briskly, then wash them thoroughly through
ore suds and rinse well through two waters,
and your clothes viii look better than the old
way of washing twice before boiling. This
recipe is invaluable, and every poor tired wo-
man should try it. With patent tub to do
the little rubbing, the washerwoman might
take the last novel and compose herself on
the lounge, and let the washing do itself.

Correspondence Of the London Nsws.J


SOUTHAMPTON, aug. o
THE HoRRoRs OF THE bUTINY II INDIA.-1He
Massacre at Delhi-The passengers by the India
Mail Packet Columbo, which arrived here yester-
day, state that some things happen in India which
are rot for some time made public for want Of sub
stautal proof and other things not known there
because the writer's in India and the cores
pondents of the English journals scarcely know how
to describe such inhuman atrocities.
The Columbo passengers say that the imagina-
ton can scarcely conceive the hendish barbaritics
perpetrated by the Sepoys When the Bengal mu-
tneers entered the city Of Delhithere were English
merchants mercantile, telegraph, and post Office
clerks, officers Of the native regiments, and govern
ment fu0etonaries, with their English wives and
children, living there unsuspicous OF danger as
# they bad been in 0ny English town. As soon as
the mutneers entered Delhi great many English
men and EnglishwOmen and children escaped, but
numbers could not DO so, and those who did not
escipewere subjected to outrages worse than death
The daughter Of an English clergyman was driven
through the streets of Delhi naked, then subjected
to unspeakabc outrages by an iafuriated soldiery,
and Afterwards cut to pieces with swords An EGG
lish lady in the same city was suspended by the
feet naked and hacke 10 pieces
The European officers and soldiers are exaspera-
ted madness by these atrocities and most terri
bic punishDents will be inflicted by the European
sodisr the mutinoJs sepoys when Delhi is Ia
ken. These serOys have acted more like fends
than human creatures. 1t is with the greatest diff
fculty that the English soldiers can be prevented
from laying violent hands every native they
meet. Highland regiment landed at Calcutta,
and one Of the soldiers was seen Immediately to
rnsh straight to a native aud fell him to the earth
with his 6st in instant Whoever lives to tell
tie tale Of Delhi, and of the scenes witnessed in
the city during the siege, will be able relate

ers of Fremont, to-wit: the exclusion of
slavery from free Territories-eyentuate in
a similar result?
There is but a shade of difference be-
tween the two individuals, and that is in
favor of Fremont. Fremont would have
used, openly and manfully, the influence Of
his administration to make Kansas free
State. Buchanan has exerted the same i'll
fuenee, through bis instrument, Walker,
butin suEreptitious and treacherous man
ner. He has struck confding friends a
staggering blow, while Fremont could only
have warred upon them as enemies This
is about the only difference between Buch-
anan and Fremont, so far as Southern
rights, interests and honor, are concerned.

OYsTERs-The process by which oysters
make their shells is a singular phenomenon in
natural science. A London oysterman can
tel the sge of his flock to a nicely. The age
Of this bivalve is not to be found out by look
ing into its mouth. 1t bears It's years upon its
back. Every body who has handled an oyster
shell must have observed that it seemed as if
composed of successive layers of plates overlap
ping each other. These are technically called
shoots" and each of them make q years
growth, so that by counting them, the year
when the creature came into the world can at
once be determined Up to the time of its ma
turity, the shoots are regular and successive,
but after that time they become irregular
and are piled one over the other, so that the
shell becomes more tbickened and bulky
Judging from the great thickness to which
oyster shells have attained this molusc is ca
pable, if left to its natural changes unmolest-
ed, Of attaining a patriarchal longevity.

The OVERLAND ROUTE TO CALIFoRNIA-John R.
Bartlett, Esq who was the Commissioner appoint
ed to the boundary between Mexico aud the
United States under President Flmore's admins
tration, in the years 185O-53, has written ali el4b
crate paper, which appears in the Providence Jour
nal, in which he takes decided ground in favor of
the Southern line the 32l parallel OF latitude,
which has been selected by the Postmaster General
for the overland mail route to California. Mr..
Bartlett gives this the preference on account
of the many advantages which he says his observa-
ton assures him that it possesses. He travelled
with seven loaded wagons, many pack mules
twenty-five oxen and one hundred and fifty sheep,
a considerable portion of the line, and may
therefore lay claim with good reason to know it,
characteristics. He thinks the Southern line has
a narrower belt of woOdless and waterless region
to traverse than any other; the summit level at Ell
Paso is only 800 or 600 feet above the level of
the sea, while the summit level of the central OF
Albuquerque route, near the 65th parallel is re-
ported to have an elevation of about 600 feet
Between the Rio Grande and Colorado water was
always fouud-if not visible on the surface it could
be obtained by digging for it-and the whole ex-
tent was passed without crippling a wagon. This
region Mr.. Bartlett pronounces admirably adapted
for wagon road or railway. Beyond the Colorado
IS the California desert, having breadth of about
100 miles, which must be crossed This is very
hard and level, with occasional spots of sand. 1t
i. entirely d. stute of wood and nearly so of grass
Water in the dry seasons can only be had by dig
gine; but it couli probably be obtained in any de-
sirably quantities by opening large wells, and by
providing reservoirs 10 catch the oyerAowings of
the Colorado. Carisa Creek furnishes water in the
dryest seasons. From this point to San Diego
water is found at convenient distances, and also an
abundance of grass Euisrant parties from Eas-
tern Texas in large numbers have passed over this
route, making, however, an unnecessary detour in
one place which leagtheus their journey one hun
dred miles. Mr.. Bartlett on his return, met num-
erous parties upon the road and in one instance a
flock of II 600 Sheep all bound for San Francisco.
He appeals bis published reports aud dispatches
to support his present statements and asserts that
although the region through which this road passes
! is no Paradise, aud ia poor in many respects, yet
it is infinitely better and presents more advantages
for great national highway than any yet dscov.
