DEFEAT OF THE ARMY BILL.

The Senate of the United States have by very
large and decisive vote defeated the proposition for
an increase of the United States army The com
manding general Of the army asks for additional
troops the Secretary of War eoncurs fully in the
demand and the President urges it upon Congress
matter of public necessity. The Senate say no !
and the Senate have a right to speak. The Execu-
tive has done its whole duty the responsibility rests
with the Senate for refusing troops to defend our
frontiers against hordes of savages known to be
der Mormon influence, and to be exhibiting symp-
toms of decided and general hostility to people.
The Senate take also the responsibility Of jeoparding
the campaign against the rebelous Mormons. This,
too, the Senate have right to do; and the people
have a right to know that il the RESPONSE

cans should pursue this course, and that their

mysteries, and who worship devouily now at
the dusky shrine where Greeley, Abby Kelly, and
the senator from New Hampshire kncel and cry
aloud-it is natural enough that this conglom-
crate brotherhood should pig together in the same
sty. Bit it is worthy of especial wonder" that
democrats should be found to vote persistentIy with
them to defeat the measures of the administration,
and in the attempt to force upon it and
policy which would only embarrass it, and which
intended by the majority of its supporters to
embarrass it,
The true friends of the administration measure did
wisely and nobly in killing the monster which sprung
from the loving embraces of Douglas, Hale, e. Co.,
and in throwing the responsibility of the disasters
which may follow upon the right shoulders

In rich iron deposits. Dickson county alone
produces more than ten thousand tons OF pig
metal, and the other counties west Of it. also
produce large quantity; all of which now
goes to Cincinnati and ST. Louis. The value
of the yearly product Of the country through
which this road passes are roughly estimated
at 81 900 600, low estimate One seventh
of this will certainly be carried over the road.
and great portion of il will come to Nash
vile. When the road is opened, this estimate
will be increased ten fold by reason of the in
creased value Of the lands and the demand
for their produce. The grocery merchants Of
this city can by the Nashville Il Northwest
err road keep a constant supply of groceries
from New Orleans. and the manufacturer
who desires to set up iron works here. will
find iron at bis door, with coal from the Edge
field & Ky. road to work it. This road, the
n. x y. w. runs through the best portion of
West Tennessee, and when completed we shall
see at its depot here such bulks Of produce
from that quarter as we have no idea of now.
AT Paris Henry county. distant about ninety
miles from this city, the Memphis & Ohio
meets this road and thence they run east upon
the same track about forty miles; where the
Memphis & Ohio turns Northeast, passing
through GAINESVILLE to Bowlingreen Ken
lucky. Paris, the entrepot for these roads is
distant from Memphis. one hundred and thir-
ty miles; IRON Louisville, about two hundred
and forty miles. &c. taking distance only
into consideration, Nashville will C, rtainly
secure the trade of that country. But if she
do not exercise that vigilance and energy
characteristic of Memphis and Louisville she
may lose it.
Nashville. if she succeed. must awake. Her
sphere of action is charging; and if she
would not recede, she must extend her aid to
needing railroads; and through them offer to
commerce thorough traffic system. She
must drive her trade with energy to the very
doors of competing communities. BY natural
~ favorable position, Nashville has accumu-
lated large population, with much wealth
She holds that position, wrought for her by
her matches macdamized roads, and by that
Herculean pioneer work, the Nashville &
Chattanooga railroad. All know that her
past labors have been so well directed that
she has secured thereby u wide spread reputa-
ton for intelligence and enterprise. No in
land place, so seemingly condemned to soli-
tude, by the great limestone basin enclosing
it. has made greater more successful adj
vance in progress. with limited means. Ifw
will now give to the farmer and merchant
CHI APP transportation for their produce and
ment in his labors, they will fill our city with
a prosperous and happy people. and work

better deserved. Ii we will do none of these
