tEy In accordance with previous notice,
meeting Of the American party was held at
the Court House, on Monday last, which was
organized by appointing Thos. Ogburn ESQ.,,
President, and B. A. Rogers Secretary.
The President stated the object of the meet
ing to be the appointment of delegates to the
State Convention, at Nashville on the 1st of
May, and 10 the District Convention, on the
l4th of April.
On motion, the President appointed the fol-
lowing Committee of three, to nominate suita-
bic persons to attend said Conventions, as del
egates: @. G. Smith, T. W. Beaumont and
George Hampton.
I'VE omit the list of Delegates1
The following resolutions were offered, and
unanimously adopted:
ResOIUed, That, in the opinion of this meet
ing, GAINESVILLE is the most suitable place for
holding the Convention to nominate candi-
date for Congress, in this District.
RcsOlUsd, That, in the gentlemen whose
names have been mentioned in connection with
the nomination for Congress, we recognize
none but able and worthy men, either of
whom, if nominated, would be entitled to the
earnest and enthusiastic support of the Amer
leans of the 9th District.
ResoIced, That the distinguished abilities and
signal services of our recent candidate for cleo
tor, in this District,-Gen. James NJ. Quarles,
lin the opinion of this meeting, render his
claims upon the American party pre-eminent;
and he is therefore, our first choice as a can
didate to represent this district, in the next
Congress.
ResoIUed, That our delegates to the District
Convention be instructed to cast their votes
for Gen Ouarles and rennestad tn nsa all hon.
orable means to secure his nomination.
ResOIUed That the delegates be authorized
to nominate a candidate for the Legislature
and also to go into joint convention with the
other counties interested, to nominate csndi-
dates for the offices of Senator and Floater.

On Sunday last, in company with several
gentlemen, we took trip mot on the cars,
but on horseback) over the road above Gesig-
mated, upon which work had been done, com
mencing at Marshall and were highly gratiied
TO find the ten continuous miles graded and
cross-ties furnished in compliance with the
acquisitions of the charter. Owing TO some
very unfavorable weather, for work, this win
ter. IL required mastery effort to push it
through, eren some night work, we are inform
ed. All concerned in this work, properly de-
nominated the greatest enterprise of the age,
Engineers, Contractors, Overseers, and Labor
ers, are entitled to the highest praise for their
energy and untiring perseverance,.

and hence, all heart. Everything seems to
have been done with q view to permanenoe
and durability, and not for the purpose of saw
ing lime.
The neighbors along the line and vicinity,
knowing that Monday was the day by which
ten continuous miles were to be prepared, as
above stated, were out in numbers, with coun-
tenances wreathed with smiles. Although we
were apprised that considerable interest was
felt 10 behalf of the enterprise, the manifesto
tons transcribed cur expectations.
The work will not abate, we are informed,
but to the contrary, be prosecuted both East
and West, with all possible speed. Should our
friends of Louisiana push forward their por-
lion of the work, and meet us at the line that
separates the States-the place of connection
the cars may soon be put upon the first
twenty-five miesron the Texas side. This is
very desirable, not only for the facilities it
would afford TO the travelling and shipping
public, but that i; would serve as an invaluable
auxiliary in advancing the work upon the road.
1t is earnestly 10 be hoped they will be in
time, as it would supersede the necessity ofex-
tending an arm to Swanson's Landing upon
the Lake as expediency would suggest, should
it be discovered they will not be in time to
unite.
The company are still anxious to employ
negro laburers, by the year, at their former
rates. The terms seem liberal, and should
planters determine to plant principally corn, a
great number of hands might be spared upon
the road. Will not twenty five dollars a month
