TO BIS CONTINUED.

How FOREIGNERS ARE APPRECIATED BY
Observation-Disclosures Hammond is not
alone in his contemptuous views of la
borers, and of the foreign population in
particular. While this latter class are
so constantly throwing their influence into
the scale of named Democracy, it is
well that they should occasionally see
what devout admirers of Irish and Ger
man votes say of the persons who cast
them. One of the most jealous support
ers of the Administration of Buchanan,
the Southern Commercial Review, uses
this language, in regard to foreigners in
the North
"For household and farming purposes,
the western planters, as a general rule,
are dependent upon raw employees, i'm
ported from abroad. An uncouth mis-
ceIlany of Irish, Dutch and Germans,
comprise the hired workmen of the North.
The majority of these are Irish, the char
acter of whom greatly units them for the
duties they are employed to fulfil. They
are as capricious as only sons-lacking
in principle, impatient of control, dispo-
sed to choler and whiskey. and in the
nam unreliable. for the purposes of the
house and the field"
And yet, but for the votes Of these very
men, until recently given with almost en-
tire unanimity for the sham Democracy,
that party would long ago have seen in
a hopeless minority. When it comes to
voting, the services of this uncouth
miscellany" are very acceptable, but in
all other respects they are deemed out of
the ring.

have got value received for your money.
If not, it is your own fault that you did

NASHVILLE ANB ST. LoUs.-We stated
few DAYS since, upon what we considered
good authority, that the Directors of the
Iron Mountain Railroad had determined to
make Hickman its southern terminus. 1t
seems that Memphis has Der eye upon that
road, and is making an effort TO have it ex-
tended down the valley of the st. Francis
river to the Arkansas line there to form ii
junction with the Memphis and st. Louis
Railroad. At a meeting held in Memphis on
Tuesday last, the following resolution, among
Others, was adopted:
RESOLVED. That, with the liberal charter
granted by the State of Ar9ansasto the Mem
phis and ST Louis Railroad Company for
that part of the line lying i'll that State, and,
in view of the great benefit TO be derived, it
is. in the opinion of this meeting, highly de-
sirable that said railroad be built carly as
possible; and that we hereby invite aud re-
commend to the Iron Mountain Railroad
Company toextcnd their road to the State
Line so as to unite with the said road, and
thereby form the most speedy and direct
communication between the two cities.
Should Memphis succeed in the effort to
have the Iron Mountain Railroad carried
down the valley of the St. Francis, it must
De many day before Nashville can beast OF
direct railroad communication with st.
Louis.
Bad not etIr citizens better take this mat
ter into consideration, and see if they cannot
do something to bring the Iron Mountain
road in this direction? If Hickman is made
the terminus, the road must one day be of
immense advantage to this section; if the
Toute down the valley Of the St Francis is
adopted, that advantage is lost.

Meeting OF Subscribers TO the New

At meeting of the subs ribers to the

Of the subscribers having been read by S. d.

scribers in the adoption of a plan for the

ID. Morgan, Esq, and John Kirkman, Esq,
were elected by reclamation.
The following resolution, offered by r. c..
McNairy, Esq, was unanimously adopted:
Resolred, That Jno. Kirkman and S. D..

TIE New HorEL.-The Subscribers to the
New Hotel Fund held meeting in the City
Hall yesterday, at which Mayor McGAvocK
presided. The proceedings will be found in
another column of this mornings PATRIOT.
1t will be seen that Messrs. SAMUEL ID.
MORGAN and JOHN KIRKMAN were elected
Commissioners to represent the Subscribers
in the adoption of a plan for The building
and in all ether matters connected with the
erection of the Hotel.
In the well known energy, industry, and
enterprise OF Messrs. MORGAN and KIRKMAN
we have sufficient guarantee that the work
will be carried forward as rapidly as the ma
ture of the case viii admit. The plan of the
building will doubtless be fixed upon without
delay and we shall expect to hear ere long
the sound of the pick and spade coming up
from the foundation OF the structure.
judging from the style and character
of the buildings that have been put up in
this city within the last few years, we may
safely say that the new hotel will be mag
aifcent fabric. The lot ON which it is to be
erected is all that could be desired for the
purpose, aud the indications are that we shall
have a hotel of which any city might be

SATURDAY MORNING, AUG. Is, 1859

The ELECTION To-DAY.-Lct it be borne in
mind that the election for Attorney General
and Reporter comes off to-day. After the
exciting contest through which the people
have just past, it cannot be expected that
they will take much interest in this election,
and the vote will be comparatively small.
This ought not to be so, however; for the
Office of Attorney General and Reporter Is
one of no little importance. The duties o.
the position are more difficult of performance,
in fact, than those which devolve upon the
Governor of the State, and the people owe it
to themselves to see that no man reaches the
Office who is incompetent to a proper dis
charge of its duties.
There are quite number Of candidates in
the field; with the character and abilities OF
each our readers are mostly familiar; and as
we have heretofore expressed preference
for none of them through these columns, we
will maintain our neutrality to the last
Every man who is entitled to vote should &c
to the polls and exercise the privilege, which
it is his duty to do.

KNITTIxGIwORK: A WEE OF MANY Tex
T.. SarIABERl.- Yery few of the humorous
writers of America (and their name is le-
gion) have added xny thing either TO their
reputation or the number of their readers by
re-publishing their sketches IN book-fOrm.
Sketches of this character, although they
may be very popular when they appear at
Intervals in the newspapers. are very apt to
lose half their interest when collected into Il
volume. ',DOesiicks" will serve to illustrate
this proposition, if unfit to serve any ether
purpose. WheR bis sketches first appeared
in the Detroit ZIibane, they had a "tremeHd-
Gus run;" but what sort of "run" bad his
book? There are those no doubt who were
rash enough to buy the volume, but We may
defy you TO fnd one who was silly enough to
read it. There are exceptions TO this rule,
such as HeoPERs Simon Suggs," THoxr-
soN's Major jones' CourtshiB," etc, etc,
but they are not numerous

sketches which it contains, and with which
Mrs Partington and - Ike " have nothing to
do Did the volume contain nothing else aud
had it been christeRed by more elegant and
suggestive title, il had been all the better for
the writer's literary reputation, and for his
purse. This is the third book he has given
60 the public. His first, Rhymes With and
Without Reason, is, we think, decidedly bis
best
But after all, the sayings of Mrs. Parting
