The East Tennessee 1&a1If0aos
The Kentucky Legislature has adopted reso-
lrtions promising the cooperation of the
State in building railroad to East Tennessee,
as proposed in President Lincoln's message,
but no route is indicated, nor is any material
aid specially promised. In this connection
the Cincinnati Gczette rarSatcs how similar
project was started twenty-five years ago, and
how it failed It says that in 1885 . meeting
was held in Cincinnati to consider the contln-
uation Of railroad from Newport to Paris,
Ky. The first idea WAS for @ local road, but
gradually it enlarged to 4 scheme for line
through to the Southern Atlantic or Gulf
States, and for this purpose meeting was
called and held st Knoxville, Tenn, III July,
| 1856. Ten States we're represented, and
| among the gentlemen were Gen. Harrison, Mr,
| Haync Of s, C., Garrett Davis Of Ky, {now
| U. s. senator) etc. In the convention we're two
! classes Of rival interests. The first Was that
| between Georgia and South Carolina The
Charleston interest, represented by Col Blon-
ding and Gen. Hayue, wanted the route pro-
| posed by the Cincinnati Committee, which
was the direct and proper one for them The
Geogia interest, however, wanted to favor
Savannah, and therefore insisted upon the
| Inc, which is now actually constructed from
Knoxville to Atlanta, Macon, Savannah ano
Augusta. The other rival interests were thos:
which existed within the State Of Kentucky
and .chich acere .Itadl to the road. Kentucky
lad, on the Ohio river, the towns Of Louis
vile, Covingtou and MaysRil1e, euch Of wnicl
claimed q terminus. The result was that 81
though the Cincinnati and Charleston Com
pany asked for nothing whatever but slmpl
.. charter rights, Qhe, State not proposing t
, contribute the Legislature OF Kentucky IN
sisted upon burdening the company wlah til
construction Of three roads, one to each of til
| above points. It Is unnecessary to So
That this was fatal to the unity Of til
. plan. But what WAS thu policy Of Ken
: lucky toward that and other works? Sh
stood with folded arms, while other State;
even the extreme South, actively engaged
the construction of railroads. She gaTe not
dollar, as fur a5 Wc know, aud low finds th
rebel South covered with railroads, brlng!n
citixens-to place her, If possible, IN the I'll
happy condition Of Virginia, divided, harasse
and dcvasted.
The problem, past and future, Of . dire
J. railFoad communication between tho Ono Va
> lev and the Southern Atlantic, is also rclatt
TO the political and military condition Of Il
country. Mr. Calhoun, the statesman Of t.
South, was understood to be opposed to II
direct route to the Ohio, and favored the co
Meeting of Charleston, through the Tcnness
valley, with Memphis, which has bccn don
40 Was not this part OF his policy to unite t
= South in some future movcmcnt against t
Unions His principle policy vas, that t
Cotton States had scpa1ate interests, and Ill
defend them

ments SET m to be of purely deiensve nature. II s
some what strange that nearly all of the Generals pro-
teees should be Secessioniss, viz. Gen. Robert f.
Lee who was Chief Engineer of the army in Mexico
is generalssimo of the Virginia rebel army. Col.
Huger, who commanded the siege-train from Vera
Cruz to the City Of Mexico in outrageous defiance OF
the rights Of the whole artillery, is commanding reg
iment Of Baltimore volunteers. Col. Lay till recently
personal Aid to the Lieutenant General, is head OF
military school in Louisiana, and Capt. Lowell, who
commands the only horse battery under Gen. Bragg,
was, by President Taylor, removed from command
which the Lieutenant General conferred upon him in
opposition to the wishes OF the Commander of Lovels
regiment.
If Baltimore is TO be invaded by land, the approach
should b. made from Gettysburg Pa, by the Reister-
town road which enters Baltimore from the northwest,
aud gradualy declines for six or eight miles before
