The Moscow Railroad.

Mr.. Bayard Taylor. in a recent letter to the
Tribune, on the st. Petersburg and Moscow
Railroad, referring to the remarkable direct
ness of the line of the railroad, says:
On the northern side of the city, just out
side the low earthen barrier, stands the great
railroad station. The principal train for st.
Petersburg leaves daily at noon. and reaches
its destination the next morning at eight-siX
hundred versts or four hundred English miles
in twenty hours.
Straight as sunbeams, the four parallel lines
of rail shoot away to the northwest. and van
ish far off in sharp point on the horizon
Woods, hills, swamps, ravines, rivers may
intersect the road, but it swerves not a hair
from the direct course, except where such
DETECTION is necessary to keep the general
level between Moscow and the Volga. After
passing the Valdai Hills, about half way to
st. Petersburg, the course is almost as straight
as if drawn with a ruler for the remaining two
hundred miles. The Russians say this road is
only to be looked upon as an article of lux
ury. The Emperor Nicholas consulted his
own convenience and the facility of convey
ing troops rather than the convenience of the
country and the development of its resources.
By insisting upon the shortest possible dis
lance between the two cities, he carried the
road for hundred of versts through swamps
where an artificial foundation of piles was
necessary; while, by bending its course lit
tie to the south, nearer the line of the high
way. not only would these swamps have been
avoided, but the cities of NOvgorOd, Valdai,
and Torshok, with the settled and cultivated
regions around them, would have shared in
the advantages, and added to the profits of
the roads.
Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1858-11-09
Present Congress.
From The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer.
The GubernatOrial Contest.

The democratic press have recently be-
come very anxious for their opponents to
bring out candidate for the succession t.
Gov. Harris, and are giving themselves much
unnecessary trouble in selecting and recon-
mpnding names. Among their favOritcs the
names of John Bell and Emmerson Etheridge
are prominent, and they insist that one or the
Other Of these two shall he run.
While we have no desire to interfere with
our cotemDOraries' amusements, we would
rcspectfully suggest to them that they would
probably find more profitable employment in
attending to their own affairs. They need
not 90 from home to seek business; for their
own partisans will most certainly give them
trouble enough. Their difficulty will be. not
in finding a candidate, as they seem to think
will be the case with us, but in reconciling
the claims of the numerous aspirants who
will inevitably offer. With the democracy.
the motto is and ever will be. ITO the victors
belong the spois." and every noodle who
makes a cross-road stump speech thinks he
has contributed to the victory and is entitled
to Office. in order to secure his share of the
''spoils" The democracy think themselves
the dominant party, and that all their can
didate will have to do will be to walk over
the track Hence the competitors for the
nomination will be as thick as wild pigeons
on the roOst. The party las party,iS now split
up into fragments, and the breaches are
widening daily. On the Douglas question
they are divided; on the bank question they
are hopclcssly rent in twain: and on the tariff
issue they are equally as diverse in opinion.
All these subjects will enter into the next
gubcrnatorial contest. We therefore say to
our democratic friends heal your own divi-
sions, and then you may with some show Of
propriety assume to advise us.
We have a word to say TO our friends i'll
this connection. Be not too hasty in urging
the claims superiority of your favorites;
heed not the taunts and gibcs of your adj
versaries; let the veal of the State and the
prosperity of the country be your only aim;
merge all minor differences and personal pre-
ferenccs. and let them be subject to this one
paramount object. A call has been made for
a State convention to be held in Nashville on
the 22d February next. Organize and eject
your delegates to that convention, resolved
to work in harmony for the good of the
county. Let that convention determine who
shall he our candidate; and if we work with
a will, and all together, we can elect him.
