stGntially as = free gift, farm Of 160
acres to every settler who will occupy

declaration must first be made of an in

States, when the grant is Immediately
made, without waiting for naturalization.
When the children Of the settler reach 2l
years of age, or become the head of .
family, they each receive from the Gov
eminent like donation of 160 acres
The intrinsic value Of this public domain
far exceeds the whole public debt Of the

The PresIdsnps PrSclamagIOn.
The correspondent Of the Philadelphis
Inquirer, BEN TRUEAx, writing from
Nashville, says:
The people Of Philadelphis, and the
readers Of the Inquirer generally, would
like to know what the TeAnesseans think
Of the last proclamation Of the President.
Well, there are various ideas concerning
it. Gov. johnson and Mr.. Fowler, the
Comptroller, and Mr.. Lindsey, the POST
master, although in favor Of Il If il tends
to crush out the Rebellion, seem TO think
the document extsnds s leniency to GER
tain characters in our midst who deserve
punishment of the most ungraeious sort.
They argue that many Of the most vicious
and infiusntial can saFe their property
aud their uecks by subscribing 70 the
Presidents form Of oath. They say that
the love Of, and desire for, money led
these brawlers for Southern rights into
tho secession Arena, and that any of
them, to save their treasures, will take
the oath prescribed.

the above named gentlemen in their
opinions, and, understand the ma
iority of the members Of the different
Union Clubs aud Leagues are oppos-
posed TO the proclamation. Nf. Essh
the Secretary Of State, and the Hon.
Jordan Stokes, firm and unhinching Ad-
ministration men, indorso the proelama-
ton, and are willing to let some Of the
old rats escape punishment, il il will
tend 10 decrease the suffering5 Of the
country, and crush the rebellion. I think
the United States Courts hers and their
officers, will oppose il upon the grounds
that it is TOO lsnient. The courts al
ready have hundred odd persons indie
ted for treason and conspiracy, who will
aVaiI themselves Of the benefits Of the
proclamation. The SecessiOnists laugh
at it, from the fact that il emAnsted from
Abraham Lincoln, but all who can viii

The railroad.

The above-named road is 3 military
railway under cOdutructiOn, TO run from
this city west to the Tennessee River,
striking the river at or near Reynolds
burg. It will not be finished, probably,
much before spring. It is not needed as
any rate this winter, nor go long as the
Cumberland River will permit even the
smallst boats to float. The siege of water
at all seasons of the year will permit
boats upon the Tennesses River TO run
between Psducsh, Kentucky, and Flor
ence, Alabama. Thus, supplies can be
carried up the Tennessee to Reynolds
burg, and shipped by rail to Nashville
on this new road. Its distance will be
but seVenty-eight miles, while the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad Is one hnn-
dred and eighty-fve. The Northwest
ern Road will run through barren coun-
try, aud passes over but four streams,
while the Louisville and Nashville Road
requirers al aVerege of twelve thousand
men to protect its dozens Of bridges,
water tanks and wood piles, and the
country, or at least most portiona of
it along the read, is infested with gusr-
rlllas.
The track is laid upon the NOrthwes-
tern Road thirty-twO miles from this
city and four miles from ReynOldsburg,
at the other end of the road, making
thirty-six miles in all, or nearly half the
road. The whole line is graded, and all
but sixteen miles is ready for the iron.
General Gillem, the Adjutant General Of
the State, has military command o. the
road and has three negro regiments at
work upon it. The regiments doing
guard duty are the Tenth Tennessee In
iantry, the Eighth Iowa Calvary aud the
First Kentucky Battery. A considerable
amount Of railroad iron was received
here yesterdy, and portions Of the Mem
phis and ClarksVille roads will be torn
up if sufIiciency Of iron cannot be OBJ
tanned otherwise. The benefits of this
road when completed will be almost in
caIeulable.-NashVills Cor. Philadelphia

Isovv a 20 EIan lledaeed &c Flesh.

kew a Fat Nan Reduced His Flesh.
An Englishman named BantiDg has
just published IN London an account Of
his struggles against corpulency, show
ing how he greT fatter and fatter, to bis
great disgust, and how, by q determin-
ed effort in the right direction, he fiual-
~ succeeded in reducing his weight to
the standard of ordinary men. Not
long ago Mr. Banting measured five feet
hFe inches, aud weighed about fourteen
stone aad quarter. He owns that he
had . great deal to bear from his unfor-
tuDate make. In the first place, the lit
tie boys in the streets laughed at him; in
the next place he could not tie bis own
shoes; and lastly, he had, it appears, 70
come down stairs backwards. But he
was a man who struggled gallsntly, and
WhsteEsr he was recommended 30 do be
honestly tried to carry out. He drank
mineral waters and consulted physicians,
and took sweet counsel with innumera-
bic friends, but all was in vain. BE liv-
ed upon sixpenee . day and earned it,
so that the fav0rite recipe Of Aberns-
thy failed in his case. BE went into all
sorts of vspor baths and shsmpOoning
baths. He took no less than ninety
Turkish baths; but nothing did him any
gOOd-he was IS fat as ever. A kind
friend recommended increased bodily
exsrtiOn every morning, and nothing
seemed more likely to De efeetual than
rowing. So this stout warrior with fat
got daily in q good, safe, heavy boat,
and rOwed a couple of hours. But he
was only pouring waters into the bucket
of the Danaides; what he gained one
way be lost in another. His muscular
yigOr increased, but then with this there
came a prodigious appetite, which be
felt compelled to indulge, and conse-
quently he got even fstter than be had
been.
at last he hit upon the right adviser,
who told him what to do, and whose
advice has been so successful that Mr..
Bsnting can now walk down stairs for
wards, put his old clothes quite over the
suit that now fits him, and, far from be-
ing made the victim Of unkiud or ill
judged chat, is universally congralula-
ted On his pleasant and becoming ap-
pearsnce. The machinery by which
this change was effected was Of a very
simple kind. He was simply told to
leave off eating anything but meat. Il
appears that none of bis numerous
friendly advisers, and none Of the ply
sicians he consulted, penetrated SO far
into the secrecy Of his domestic habits
as to have discovered that twice day
he used formerly TO indulge in bowls of
bread and milk. The Solomon who sa-
we'd him cut off this great feeder of fat,
and since then Mr.. Banting has been q
thinner and happier man.
