TnE SOUTHERN RAuRoAD-The late Legislature
revived the charter Of the Southern Railroad Com
pany which gives the company State anu to the ex-
tent of $4,000 per mile to iron and equip the road
The Columbia Press says Of this enterprise
This road will lead from Mt Pleasant in this cOun-
~ tn Hamburg on the Tennessee river Mt Pleas
ant being now the terminus Of the Tennessee and
Alabama Railroad We understand that the Mobile
and Ohio road viii in the event of TINS road being
built build branch of their road to Hamburg, and
thus form a connection in this direction.
This is the object, az understand. of those who
were instrumental il getting the charter revived
and as the read viii be Of great advantage to our
citizens we hope it viii be built If we are not
mistaken the charter is the same under which a
company was formed under the auspices Of Russell
Houston Esq Of Nashville, but who were frustrated
in their movements By the Tennessee and Alabama
Company. This action upon the part Of the Legis-
latuce insurcs the completion, within the next few
years. Of one Of the most important lines Of travel
in the South
In this matter the citizens of our neighboring
counties Of Lawrence, Wayne, Hardin, ard others
are lnterested-tO II they must look II they wish
for the great cOnveniences and advantages Of a
railroad. We hope to see them take such steps as
viii meet the ready aid of the State 20 carry out
object in which they are vitality interested.
TENNESSEE WHEAT CRoP-A correspondent of
the McMnEville Ne5 Era writes as follows in regard
to the wheat crop in Warren county;
have been making considerable inquiry in regard
to the wheat crop in this portion Of county, and
l am stisfed that we viii have at least twO-third
yield The crop is coming on beyond all eXpecta-
ton. Where short time since, the farmers thought
they would mott get a return Of the seed sown, if
nothing happens to the crop. they viii realize an
average yield.
The MOrristOwn HteligeBcer says
We pass about good deal through the country, |
and have had tOlerable opportunity of ascertain
ing what the prospectI for a wheat crop Is. We
think 1t is much better than was supposed a month /
ago. We think that it is probable that some of our
farmers have not acted wisely in blowing up their
wheat fields and sowing them in oats We observe /
that quite large amount Of wheat was sown last /
fall and think quite likely, from present iudica-
TONS that there will be nearly much wheat |
raised this year as was last.
