The New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern Railroad.

We publish in to-day's impression an able
and earnest Address of Gov Neville, to cit
liens residing or near the projected line of
this road North of Canton, showing the i'm
portance of the enterprise and appealing to
them TO give it timely assistance.
We have no doubt but that the public spir-
tied and enterprising people Of the counties
through which the Road is destined pass will
give prompt attention to this appeal, and
show by their works that they are determined
to put it through with all possible despatch.
They are thoroughly alive to its vast impor-
tance and there is nocause 10 doubt that they
will concentrate their means and their moral
and intellectual power, for the completion of
the enterprise which promises results of in
calculable benefit. To this end let rivalrics
and jealOusies cease. Let the profitless war
of elimination and recrimination be forever
dismissed. A truce to heart burning and dis
sensions. strong pull, long pull and
pull altogether, and our word for it, with pru-
dent and discreet management looking alone
to the public interests, it will not be many
years before the Road will be completed ac-
cording to the aim of its projectors not only
to Aberdeen, but TO the Tennessee River, ira
versing region of vast resources, and estab-
fishing an unbroken line of trade and travel
between the emporium of the South, the great
East, and the Mississippi river.-Jaehson Nus

Rees in the spring.

Sometime ago. we published an item stating
that if bees were allowed access to oil cake,
the quantity of their honey would be thereby
increased, as our authority stated, several
hundred per cent. But honey alone, or its
constituent materials. is not all that bees re-
quire; for, as a correspondent of the New
York Tribune states, pollen is also needed to
make "bread" for the young bees. The wea-
Their may be warm enough and the bees lively
enough; but until the bees afford pollen. they
have no material to work upon to enable them
to be in season with the new brood to produce
early swarIns. A Mr.. Sturtevant, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, asserts that he can bring bees for
ward two months earlier by the very simple
process of feeding them with unbolted rye
meal placed on boards near the hive. They
''pitch into it at once" As of late years bee
keeping has become a favorite and often pro-
fitable amusement with thousands, and as no
class of ''pets" can in these respects be COM
pared to them, it is not impossible that a
knowledge of the facts above mentioned may
prove acceptable to many. Bees are like trees
it costs very little to start them, they main
tain themselves with very little attention,
they are pleasant to observe and in the end
profitable. philadelphia BulLfin.

The STATE PRIsoN.-From the day he took
possession of the State Prison. the present
Agent, WIN. III. JOHNSON, has diligently labor
ed to so conduct its affairs as to make his adj
ministration creditable to him as an officer,
and profitable to the State. So far his efforts
have been eminently successful. Everything
connected with the institution already bears
evidence to their efficiency. The spirit of i'm
prov ement is seen On all hands. The cOnvicts
evince greater degree of subordination and
perform their labor with an increase of cheer
fulness and alacrity; whilst the work isso con-
Quoted that their labor is more effective.
The buildings are in better condition, in every
respect, and before the year closes, further i'm
provements will be introduced as the occasion
for them is presented. This is saying much,
but it it is no more than what is due the agent
and others concerned.

NASHVILLE FEMALE ACADMY.-It is decided
ly pleasure to us 10 visit and see the harmo-
ny existing in a well regulated establishment
especially an institution of learning. There
are many such in our country, but none more
elegantly arranged, or better conducted than
the Nashville Female Academy which has been
for 50 many years under the guidance of that
gentlemanly scholar and veteran instructor
Rev. e. ID. Elliott. As we have frequently
done before. We paid visit to this old and
popular institution while on recent visit TO

TREACHERY OF THE PREsDENT.-Mr. Cling
man, Chairman of the Committee of Foreign
Affairs, made "A report in relation to Central
America, the Clayton Bulwer Treaty, &c. All
took it for granted that the report was made
with the full appreciation of the President and
by his authority, for il was known that Cling
man, rs n leading Democrat and the head of
an important committee, was in constant and
familiar intercourse with that functionary. A
day or two after the making OF the report,
however, and when everybody was viewing il
as an Administration measure, the President
declared against il, and Mr. Sickles IA his or
gan, made Il movement against it and extin-
guished it, leaving poor Clingman defeated
and Inundated.
This is u good deal as the President treated

G. PoINDExTER, formerly of GAINESVILLE. and
now Chief Clerk of the Post Office Depart
ment at Washingto have each purchased an
interest In the Office. Mr.. GRIFFITH will be our
business man, and Mr.. PoIsDExTER VIII be-
come member of the editorial corps. We
part with Colonel TcRBETT, whose admirable
Judgment both Ia political aud in business
matters, has done SO much for the usefulness
and prosperity of our journal; with great re-
gret. AT the same time, in his successors we
have most useful auxiliaries. Mr.. GRIFFITH
will be able to devote his entire time to the
business of the Office, and Mr.. PoINDExTER his
to editorial labor The latter gentleman will
be recognized by all our readers as the able
and eloquent elector for this district in the
last Presidential elections: gentleman of the
finest education, and than whom we could
scarcely have secured the cooperation of any
one as well calculated to add to the usefulness
and ability of our paper. We shall also short
ly add to our editorial force Mr.. A. Z. ORA
PIER, well known TO our readers as our Legis-
lative Reporter for some years past and who
we think, by devoting his whole time to sub
jects other than political Will make our paper
in its news and commercial departments, at
least equal to any other in the southwest. We
shall also shortly use new type, and give adj
yertlsers not only wide circulation but a
neater style. We have contracted for the re-
building of our Printing house. In connect
ion with the owner of the adjoining lot, we
will build this summer block IS feet on
Cherry by 100 on Church street, stories on
Cherry and stories on Church street, in
which, we hope, the Unioa and american will
have its permanent home.
This change will give the UIion and Ame-i-
can strength of force sufficient to increase
its usefulness to an almost unlimited extent
and ought to add greatly to its prosperity.
The new recruits are gentlemen of ability,
and will fill their positions, we doubt not,
satisfactorily to the public, and with honor to
themselves
We have but one objection to this arrange
ment, and that is, the retirement of Col. Tor
BETT. We dislike to see SO good man sever
his relations with the press. During his con-
nection with the Union and American, he has
won for himself the esteem of both political
friends and foes, and it would have been gra-
tifying to all had he chosen to remain indenti-
fed with the journal whose fortunes he has
done so much to advance. In whatever pur-
suit he may engage, he may rely upon the
good wishes of the public for his success.
Whether in retirement or in business we trust
he may continue to realize full measure of
health and happiness.

The Graves or the Presidents.

The remains of Washington rest at Mount
Vernon, where, in accordance with his desire,
they were inferred. The Congress of the
United States has proposed TO transfer his
body to the national seat of government, and
the Legislature of Virginia has requested the
privilege of placing it beneath monument
at the capital of that State; but it has been
deemed right to respect his own wishes. The
tomb at Mt. Vernon will soon become ma
tional property, thanks to the efforts of a
company of ladies, aided by Hon. Edward
Everett and others. The tomb of John Adj
ans is beneath the portico of the Unitarian
church at Quincy, Mass. The vault was
constructed by John Quincy Adams, whose
own remains now repose in it. Thomas
Jetferson's body lies at Monticello, near
Charlottesville Albemarle County, Virginia,
near his former estate, now owned by Com.
u. Z. Levy, U. States Navy. The last rest
ing place of james Munroe is in little
cemetery in Second street, just below Third
Avenue, in New York city. One step inside
the neatly arranged grounds, and half cover
ed with grass, almost concealed by bushes, at
the foot of little wren house. which serves
as his only monument, the grave of James
Monroe, who served his country in the ca
pacty OF soldier, minister and President, is
indicated by simple marble slab, bearing
his name. The Legislature Of Virginia has
just appropriated $1,000 to defray the eX-
penses of removing the remains to Virginia,
and for the erection of monument to his
memory. In quiet country churchyard at
Montpelier, Orange County, Va, thirty miles
from the grave of Jefferson, lie the remains
of James Madison. Until within a year,
nothing but tradition has marked the spot,
but recently plain stone obelisk has been
erected, To indicate the resting place of the
departed statesman. The grave of Andrew
Jackson is at the Hermitage, on the banks of
the Cumberland river, about ten miles from
Nashville. Tennessee. He was inferred in the
family tomb, at his express desire. He re-
quested that no pomp or commemorative
show should distinguish his tomb and he was
known to refuse "a proGercd present of an
antiquated marble sarcophagus, brought from
the Mediterranean, and said TO have once
contained the remains ot ancient heroes The
body of William Henry Harrison reposes in
the family tomb at North Bend Ohio, a few
miles from Cincinnati, on the banks of the
Ohio rive-. Immediately upon his death his
remains were laid in the Congressional bury
ing ground nj Washington, but were soon
transferred 10 the family vault. In Nash
vile, Tennessee, the former residence of
James X. Polk, his body is now lying. The
tomb OF Zachary Taylor is near Louisville,
Kentucky, the former residence of his father.
Like General Harrison, he was first Inferred
in the Congressional burying ground at
Washington, where he died short time after
his Inauguration. In the fall of the same
year. however, his body was removed aud
deposited Ia the family cemetery. The other
ex-Presidents, Martin Van Duran. john Tyler
Franklin Pierce. and Willard Fillmore, are
