THE RAILROADS.

The Railroad Convention in Richmond week
before last attended by officers from Is Roads.
1t was resolved to establish Rolling Mills, Machine
Shops and Foundries in each of four divisions Of
the Confederacy, viz: l. Virginia 2. North and
South Carolina. 3. Georgia, Florida, Alabama
and part of Tennessee. 4. Mississippi, Louisiana,
&c. The capital to be subscribed by the Roads
in each division; the Presidents of the roads to
locate the works and manage them as Board Of
Directors If the Roads fail to advance the capi-
tai, then advances to be made to individual enter
prises, upon the condition that the works shall
furnish iron &c, to the Roads so advancing, at so
per cent higher rates than were current in July,
1860, until the close of the war and for three
years afterwards at 80 per cent above cost
The Convention resolved to apply to Congress
confscate and sell the interests of alien enemies
in Mines of minerals in the Confederate States, so
to enable citizens to work them.
The Fayetteville Observer publishes the above
and remarks
at seems to us that the works for North and
South Carolina will almost of necessity be located
here Cat Fayettevillel The mineral region of
Deep River will supply the coal and iron, andtbis
place will be nearer aud better point than any
other from which to supply three-fourths of the
roads in the division with the manufactured
ticles, and TO receive the old rails for rerongs"

have been compelled It was impossible 70 move
further into Kentucky from the barrepness Of the
mountains between that point and the Blue Grass;
and all the counties on the left and right, and the
northern counties of East Tennessee were TOO poor
to support the array one day. With vastly su-
perior force attacking, the movement to the Cum
berland river at Gainsboro, point of supply, was
precpitated-and to this General 4Crittenden is
moving with short days marches From this
point If the enemy should advance into East Ten
nessee, an attack could be made on his flank and
rear while passing through the billy and barren
region from Kentucky towards Knoxville and the
Railroad. "*~a y 4fA@ = 'sta%e sS%' se+7
'F Ilbase thus briefly sketched our army move
ments for the last few days" Victory does not
gleain upon our banners, and we may not receive
the loud plaudits which it brings; but in view Of
an overwhelming force of the enemy, and the abb
solute want of army supplies, and the distressing
poverty of the country it must be conceded to
General Crittenden that in the bold and gallant
attack and mastery retreat he has displayed the
highest qualities of the military commander,
and he deserves the admiration of the country to
which he has given his services, and IN whose
cause at Fishing Greek he SO coolly exposed his
life. Given command most exposed and peril
Gus, on the northern bank Of the Cumberland
River he has saved it from the ablest Generals
and overwhelming army ofthe enemy. While
they were confident of 'baggng" this little army,
it is ready yet to East Tennessee, and to "ba
any force venturesome enough to invade.

the high prices paid BY the Factories and by sew
eral capitalists who are investing idle money 10 1t.
Should the blockade be removed within any short
time, this speculation is likely to prove a very
profitable one. Very many planters are, however,
holding all that they are not obliged to sell, desir
ing to profit by the same chances of open ports.
The Georgia writer fears that "the present buoy
ant prices and the prospect for the removing Of
the blockade will lead to the seeding of large
CROP We are not of those who would discourage
the planting of fair crop of cotton; but yet we
think that every consideration Of patriotism and
profit should induce the planting of the very full
est crops of grain. Let take care at least that,
with the blessings Of Providence, our people and
soldiers may have an abundance to eat. ~

THE CosT.-The expenses of the Lincoln Gov
ernment, according to the New York Tribune, are
over sS,00O00 per day The Milwaukee (Wis.)
News remarks
"This is at the rate of about Is cents daily for
every man, woman and child in the Northern
States. At this rate the war costs Wisconsin over
$4,000 every day, and nearly $4,000 every
hour, and over $3.50 every minute between sun
rise aud sunset The whole expense of the Gov
ernment for one year would build comfortable
house for every family in the Northern States 1t
would pay the ordinary expenses of all the State
governments for twenty years. 1t would buy
nearly one half of all the farms in the Northern
States. 1t will take all the wheat produced in
Wisconsin for three years to pay its proportion for
twelve months

SUBSTITUTE FOR LEATHER.-The Charleston
Courier says it has seen superior article OF home
made leather, made of the skins of algators taken
from the swamps of the Mississippi and prepared
near New Orleans. Boots and shoes from these
skins are now very generally worn in New Orleans
and the article is highly commended both by deal
ers and citizens as a substitute for the ordinary
leather in the manufacture of brogans, boots and
shoes. Its durability will surpass the common
leather We hope other substitutes may also be
discovered, SO as to bring down the price of boots
