WESTERN NJ. c.. RAILROAD.

| We learn from Maj. j. G. Turner, Engineer in
Chief OF the Western n. &. Railroad Company, that
the experimental line of survey has just been COM
pleted from the mouth OF the SwannaGUa river in
the French Broad valley, thruug to the tennessee
line near the lucknow copper mines. i his
yey determines that there not only practicable
line tor the extension vi the Western n. {. Road
from Ashcvlle, through the counties of BuncomLe,
its practcabty for a mountain country is remark
able in eminent dc. rec. And whilst the Rich
land, I uckasese. Juna,uska aud Valley River at
f,rd cheap route for the greater part of this dis
lance the dlrectness of the line may be inferred
from the fact that there will be saving in the es
timaeG distance of IL to II miles, from Asheville
to the intersection of the Georgia and Tennessee
State lines near Ducktown. From this point roads
have been chartered to connect with roads already
built, both to Georgia and 1ennessee-thus afford
ing an opportunity by this extension Of making the
Western road the great through line from the
North to Memphis and New Orleans and inter-
vening country.
The first survey by Mr. Garnett, under Col.
Gwynn resulted In report Of the mpracticabity of
the route-requiring tunnel three miles long.
When Mai. Turner succeeded Mr. Garnet he in
sisted that practicable route could be obtained He
tried it and found one requiring tunnel of but one
and quarter miles. Maj Turner was still not sat-
is6ed, and further survey he discovered
highly practicable route, requiring tunnel of 800
feet only, showing the utility of thorough surveys.
The survey jus: comp ed has inspired the friends
of this great work with full confidence in its speedy
completion. Salisbury Banner.

DISEASED CATTLE.-An alarming and very
fatal disease has made its app among the cat
tie Of Massachusetts. In many instances whole
herds are infected. The worst feature is that no
cure has yet been discovered, and when the cattle
become effected they have to be slaughtered at
once, in order to prevent contagon. At the ses-
sion of the last Legislature, number of commits
soners were appointed to superntend the slaughter
Of diseased cattle, to condemn them, &c. They
have now their hands full, for scarcely day passes
but one or more herds are killed. At North
Brookfeld, on Thursday, after heavy slaughter,
the bodies were inferred In the orchards and fields
in large numbers. Up to this time the whole
number of animals killed had been about 10S,
valued, it was said, at FIVE thousand dollars AS
the whole appropriation only ten thousand dol
lars, and one hundred fresh cases were reported,
the commissioners decided to stop the Slaughter
ing till the Governor could be consulted. Other
districts equally as bad, and the loss through
out the State will probably be immense.

POLITICAL soCIETIES.----A FALSE
HOOD CORRECTED.

We are authorized to state that it is not true,
us circulated about the streets by few designing
persons, that Gov Ellis said in a conversation,
"he did not wish the support of any 'cor6.Hg men
of RdLeiqh" The statement is wholly and utter
ly false as will DC seen from the statement OF Mr.
Fowle, in this issue.
What Gov. Ellis says, is, that he does not de-
sire to call to his aid any political Society. All
such Societies he regards as injurious to pubic
liberty Such Society he considers the so-called
"Workingmen's Association of Raleigh to be.
The evidences of the political character OF this So
ciety, are:
LIST. Their addresses and papers passed mainly
into the hands of oppOsitonists, from the keeping
of members Of the Association, after the Demo-
cratic Convention
Cd. They have been circulated through the
mails recently, in various parts OF the State, to
effect political results In the East, they made
their appearance in each county, just after Gov
Ellis had left.
Bird. Some of these papers were mailed IN Kal-
eigh by leading members of the Association,--of
which there is undeniable proot,-since the noml-
nation of Gov. Ellis
With these facts and SOME OTHERS that might
be named, but which we furbear naming for the
present, Gov Ellis is no longer kept in doubt but
that some of the leading members OF this society
are controlling the influence Of the society to at
feet injuriously his election.
As he does not desire to bring to his own sup
port the influence of any such societies, he is de-
termned to expose their operations to the people
wherever he fluids their influence urged to effect
his defeat Let the people be upon their guard
against all such movements. Justice and fair
dealing is all that Gov. Ellis desires. He is open
in the advocacy Of the principles of the democratic
party, and all he asks is fair and open opposition
by those who do oppose him; no underworld; no
backharded support-that is worse than open op-
position.

A called session of the City Counil convened
at the usual hour yesterday afternoon, and,
after transacting some unimportant business,
proceeded to the consideration of q PROPOSE
tion from James G. Blick and his associates,
TO construct lines Of Street Railways in the
city of Covington. They propose first to con-
struct road, commencing at the foot oi
Scott-street, and run up that street to Twelfth,
along Twelfth to Madison, down Madison to
Second, and along Second to Greennp, and
to extend it when necessary to meet the de-

twenty-five or thirty years, and propose to
pay to the city $500 per year for the first FIVE
years; 300 per year for the next five, and
$1,000 annually afterward. They likewise
propose to sell to the city at any time, If they
will pay the cost of construction, &c. They
agree to carry passengers for five cents per
trip, but there is to be no per capita tax. Z
The whole matter was referred to
the Committee on Internal improvements,
with instructions to draft an ordinance en-
bracing the provisions of the proposition,
and submit it to Council at its next meeting.
