MISCELLANY.

CoNrRABASD LoGIC.-A soldiers letter
from La Grange. Tennessee, says:
An elderly man, who gave his name as
"Dick," came into our camp, and was employ
ed by an officer. He is quiet, but intelligent
and moral old fellow, and gave me an account
of his leaving 'home."
"Why did you leave, uncle? ?" said l.
swell, massa," he replied, "oie missus too
hard on me 'tirely, an when l couldn't slant
no longer, jis lei."
"In the day time. was p"
"Oh, no, sab leven o'clock at night and

"That's pretty good walk" said l.
IL didn't walk it, sab, rode horseback"
Erode do you own horse?"
"Well-yes-no, sah--not 'zackly-reckon
do now-I took one!"
took one from your mistress?"
"Yes, massa."
"Don't you think you did very, wrong Dick,
to take your MISTRESS horse?"
swell. don't know, sab; didn't take the
bes' one. She had three two of 'um fls
rate horses, but the one took is ole, an not
berry fast, an l offered TO sell him TO- eight
dola's, sah.'
"But, Dick, you took at least thousand dol
lars from your mistress, besides the horse?"
"How, sab ?"
"Why, you were worth thousand dollars,
and you should have been satisfied with that
much, without taking the poor woman's horse"
said /, gravely.
The contraband scratched his woolly head,
rolled up his eyes at me, and replied with en-
phasis:

We publish this morning what is In
tended 10 be very sarcastic comment upon
our remarks yesterday concerning the
Sandy Valley Coal Railway Company. We
think that our readers, along with our
selves, will not be slow 10 concluding that
the article does not emenHte from a disin-
terestei source. In our belief the author
is one Of the Sandy Valley Coal Railway
spectators behind the scenes. II we were
to give his name we feel confident that
such would be tho belief OF all who know
him.
We have eudsavored to treat the bill as
citizens, having the best interests of their
State at heart, should treat oil matters af-
fecting those interests. For doing SO we
are to be ridiculed by partizan, If not an
actual confederate of gang of sPeculA-
tors who are bent on their own gain come
what may of our peoples interests. All
such ridicule is simply despisable.
We wish improvement and progress to
60 on in every nook and corner Of our
new State. But we do not, and we never
will, favor the plumber schemes Of outside
SPECTATORS, however much they may be
assisted by influential subservients in our
own midst. We know some little about
the proposed Sandy Valley Coal Railway
Company. Not long since we had letter
from one of the concern, and still later a
visit. Strong personal Inducements as
he supposed, were held out to us TO sup
port this very bill. We never SO much as
answered the corrupt letter, aud we feel
very certain that the author Of it will not
make US another visit on such business.
We believe the Sandy Valley Railway
TO be a regular set speCulstor's scheme
and we further believe that the writer in
this mornings paper is mixed up in IT.
even though he is q member of the Legis-
lAture.
We did not intend TO talk thus plainly in
print about this Coal Railway project, and
we should not have done so but for the
impudeut article on this page. Little as
we think of the peySORslEs of the concern
We have felt quite willing that charter
which could be made to serve the inter-
ests of the State, should be granted them
Our desire has been simply to secure the
proper restrictions on what we felt was
intended to be Oue.sided, sptculating af-
fair. We hope the Senate will act as be
comes true guardians of the State, and
will see that the valuable public interests
embodied in the charter under considera-
tion are not left to the tender mercies Of
those who will take every possible adyaut-
age of the State.
