Dun attention has lust been called to

Our attention has Just been called to
our article of the 18th june in relation to
Col Robertson Topp, and the Railroad
We have had an interview with the direc-
tor who gave MS the information, on which
the article in question was based, and with
the President Of our road. And we are
now satisfied that, owing to misappre-
hension on the part of our informant Col
Topp was not placed in proper position,
before the public in that article and there
fore, we hasten to make the proper correc-
tons, being ready and anxious at all times
to do justice to all parties, We stated that
after the basis of consolidation was rejec-
ted and Col. Topp seeing there was no
chance to carry the road to the mouth of
Sandy, that he then made another proposal;
which was that we should locate our road
on the nearest and best route to Paris or
McLemoresville and Memphis would meet
us there. The director who gave us the
information was not member of the
Committee appointed to confer with Col.
Topp, and in fact never did have an in
tcrview with the Col, but derived his in
formation from the verbal report of said
Committee. They not deeming it neces
sary, as we suppose to enter into all the
details of the conference with Col. Topp
left a wrong impression on the mind of
our informant as to who made the pro
.posal, or he Inexperienced them The
Committee now state that they and not
COL t. made the proposal to which Col.
7. responded that his powers and missions
ceased on the rejection of the basis of
consolidation and that he had no authority
to make any other propositions: and all
The further incidents of their interview
were altogether aao6icjal and speculative.
We may here add that our friend who
gave us the information, published in our
first article, assures us that we correctly
repeated iohat he said; and we know he
was honest in his imprcssionsTof aohot oc-
Cured, for he is one who never knowingly
does wrong, and never fears to do right.
Mr.. Fleece our Engenier, under the
direction of the new Board is now survey
ing the different routes, the mouth ofSan-
day among the rest, with view to ascor-
tain the cheapest and best route for a
through road.
