paper, Of Maj. Henry's arrival at home, from his
Northern tour, was with several other items, over

been apprised Of his coming by telegraph from
Nashville, and on his arrival at our depot he was
met by a considerable number of citizens, who wei
coined him home in mannef that was, no doubt
very gratifying to him.

Beiy- Our town during this week has presented an
unusually dull appearance in contrast to the scene
of lveliness and exctOmen that presented last
week. Then there were hundreds of visiting strap
gers here in attendance upon the Female Academy
examination and commencement, and the Union
party's electoral convention; but now they have
nearly all departed The schools, too, are all closed
and the pupils from distance all gone home. Add
to this that the river is very low-business conse-
quenty dull--the weather very warm, and we ha sC

EeS" There are but few Of our people, outside Of
the order Itself that know that there is now in this
city fully organized Division of the Sons of Tenn
perance, yet such, we are glad 10 say, is fact.
Stranger still, this Division was organized here
nearly, or quite year ago, and has been in con-
slant operation ever since. We have designed for
months past to call public attention to it, but have
omitted TO do SO until now We take pleasure in
doing this since all must confess that the Sons OF
Temperance have been the agents of great good,
throughout our whole country, in retaining the
drunkard, and restraining the youth of the land,
from the deadly habit of strong drink, There are
many young men in this community, who are now
we fear, contracting habit of drinking, which il
not at once broken up, will lead them to ruin To
all such we would raise warning voice. Don't
even take your ''small drink once in II while Let
n determination not 10 drink at ALL be one of the
fixed resolutions of your life. The evils consequent
upon a habit of drinking to excess will counter
balance and destroy all the good habits and pur-
poses of any man addicted to it.
We hope our citizens generally will lend their
countenance and encouragement to the Division OF
the Sons here, and thus aid in the good that the
noble order may do among Us.

teS- Among other incidents that were inadvert-
emily omitted in our last issue was q trip on our
railroad from town out to the junction, and from
thence out on the Memphis Branch road as far as
the track had been laid. BY invitation Of Chss. G.
Smith Esq Secretary and Treasurer of the NJ. c. l.
J.. Road, we, and some half dozen other gentle
men, of the city, assembled at the depot, at three p
m. aud IN few moments, under the care Of Mr..
Smith and conductor Cain, We were whirling over
the road to the Junction. Our train was in the
hands Of Messrs. BARLEY and Devlin, two compe-
tent and gentlemany engineers las ever blowed a
whistle" and they put US through in 24o time.
Arrived at the Junction, aud our Nashville train
being delivered over to the f. & K. locomotive, our
engine was backed down TO the Louisville road and
We put OF for the end Of the track. There were
then laid about FIVE miles Of track, and for a new
road il is certainly unsurpassed il, indeed, it is
equRlled, by any other in the South. The country
through which it runs is one of the finest in the
world, and could not repress EXPLANATIONS de-
light as We looked forth upon seemingly boundless
fields Of rpening grain waving corn, and luxuriant
meadow. In short time arrived at the end
Of the track, in the midst of DR.. Merritts and Col
Snadens fine farms Here the force of the contrac-
tors Gaslin, Pillsbury & Co. were at work, still
extending the iron threads that TO bind ogeth-
er Louisville and our own city and which are 10
bring within days travel Of each other the Falls
Of the Ohio and Presidents Island. Wigglcsworth,
Of the firm just named, was here and received us
with every possible courtesy. The arrangements Of
these contractors for the accommodation of their
men, the discipline they maintain, and systematic
order and energy observable in the conduct of their
work, all in the highest degree admirable and
commemorate. They have the contract to lay the
entire track from the Tennessee line to Bowling
Green, Ky, and will have it n completed, barring
accidents, by the first Of October After stay here
Of about one hour we mounted our fre-fed iron
horse for the ride back to the Junction. Knowing
now that the track clear, and having no women
aboard, drivers, BARLEY and Dcvlin, fired up to
whitehead, lifted every break, aud away we went,
heeter than q bird. What with our fearful speed,
the rattle Of the rails, the unearthly Shrek of the
whistle, the bounding Of the locomotive, under its
terrible propulsion and the loud huzzas of our liv-
ing Freight was altogether ride long to be
membered The flight Of phantom-chased seed Of
sleepy hollow, was but a snail pace our run over
those five miles of iron rail. In few minutes
after our return TO the junction the dOwn-tran from
Nashville arrived, and, boarding ii, we soon
whirled to the depot in this city; and with hearts
full of acknowledgement to Messrs. Smith Cain,
BARLEY, and Devn for our most delightful trip, VIC
wended our seperae ways honeward, TO dream that
night Of going to the moon on a cow-catcherl
