RAISE MONEY AT HoME.-Mr. P. SCALES
publishes communication in the Holly Springs
Herald, in which he objects to the policy Of
sending an agent TO Europe to sell the bonds Of
the Mississippi Central Railroad, and propo-
sss as Substitute the following,
"Unite with me two hundred or one hun
dred planters In the State, to lend the President
aRd Directory Of the Mississippi Central Rail-
road, our bonds, secured By mortage deeds upon
land and negroes Of Quadruple value, for only
quarter Of million Of dollars, If needed
interest payable I" pGTi pasH," with the interest
called for on the Railroad bonds. With such
guaranty it is believed the money could be OBJ
tanned, without going to Europe to sell bonds to
nation, with whom we are on the verge (Hay,
over it,) Of unpleasant social relations, if there
has not already been perpetrated the overt act,
a casa bellt.
MIR. Scales is a substantial and reliable
planter of Marshall county, and will, 50 far
as he is concerned, make good to the letter bis
proposition.
LAFAYETTE COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-The
Democrats Of Lafayette assembled at Oxford
on the 7th inst. Our old friend Capt WV. De-
LAY was called to the Chair, and Mr.. STEVEN
SON, Of the hereurg, was appointed Secretary.
The following sicket was presented to the peO-
pie for the.r support. A better one, we per-
sonslly SnOw, could not have been selected.
Toe domination is equivalent to an election:
For Probate Judge, ANDREW PETERSON for
Probate Clerk, E. d. MoORE for Circuit
Clerk, JAMES A. HICKMAN; for Sheriff, W. S.
MCKEE.
MISSISSIPPI CENTRAL RAILRoAD.-We are
informed that there is at present en- the line Of
this road an authorized agent of the Illinois
Central Railroad, who is examining into i..s
finances, prospect, &c. He is, as we earn, an,
thoFiked to lend to our road sufficient snn Of
mOaeY to insure - completion at an eafEy day,
say With Twelve months. The Illinois Cen
tral Railroad has On hand large surplus Of
cash, and can Neil afford to loan this road a
suticient amount to complete it. The stock
holders Of the Illinois Central Railroad are
deeply interested in the early completion of
our road. It will throw upon their rosd an i'm
mense amount Of travel which would other
wise 60 In a different direction. We doubt not
that If the terms Of the proposed loan are ia
vorable and advantageous, they will be accept
ed if, on the contrary, there are conditions
annexed that would render the acceptance Of
it preJudicisl to our interests, Of course II will
be instantly rejected.
The financial condition OF the Central Road,
we dare say, il much better than that Of any
other in the South. Itis, comparatively speak
ing, free from debt, and no one who invests his
money In il need ever fear that it will be lost.
We also further learn that there lie in the
State an agent from Charleston, S. C., who
proposes to lend the road money.-0rford

RAILROAD SuEs-It is stated that George
/ Peabody & Co., of London, have sued the Jack
son and New Orleans Railroad for S227, ,4O9 % A.,
and interest, money loaned.
