The M. @. e. T. r. r.

Much interest IS now felt in the reopening OF
this inportaatroad. We understand that negoci-
atoms are now going on between parties directly
interested to raise the money to put \ in running
order. As to what the result viii be, we are una
bic TO say. Suit has been brought in the Chancery
Court at this place by the second mortgage bond
hold rs, TO forcclose mortgage made by the com
pany for the payment of said bonds. The case will
be probably tried at the October term of the Court
Should the complainants obtain decree for the
sale Of the road IL wilt necessarily delay active OPP
erations upon It's repairs for some time.
There is much work to be done uroa IT, The
great bridge across the Tennessee is entirely de-
stroyed and part OF the treste. The bridge across
Big Sandy, one span of the bridge here, and many
smslle: structures at different points the line Of
the road are gone, destroyed either by FIRE or wa
ter. Nearly all the trcstle has been Goated from
position-cuIverts undermined and fallen in en-
bankments washed, and much material that has
accumulated from slides and disintegraton, to be
moved out Of the cuts
The estimated cost for putting il in thorough re-
pair is $4,000 For rolling stock, about $500, 600
more.
We think our sister city Of Louisville should
have an eye toward seeing this road put again in
working order. She has done much for it--acted
with liberality truly noble, and Characteristic Of
her people. Our own city can do but little TO-
wards raising the funds necessary to complete the
work. Money is scarce, trade is depressed and the
capital in the hands of the people is too small to
EFFECT much. All that she can do though, will BE-
freely done. But are there not other parties inter
ested in putting this project through The coun-
try through which it passes is rich in undeyeloped
re,ources, and may be regarded as field amos
unsurpassed in interest to the agricultnralst ant
capitalist. We hope that before the close of tn,
coming fall, trade and travel may be resumed OF
this line between Louisville and Memphis ant
that the prospect SO bright for its success as
main thoroughfare connecting the Mississippi will
the Ohio, may yet be realized.

seS" Now that Tennessee is again loyal and
every one has returned to peaceful pursuits, VIC
hope the General Government will vouchsafe to us
post offices and mails throughout tie interior of the
country, and thus assist the public in reuniting the
ties Of family and business so long severed OFF the
line of the Railroad hardly post Office exists
Absence from home is now real loss and unles:
post Offices established at convenient points the
people can have no chance to know what Is going
on nor what new laws they are called on to obey
We trust and believe that every one has the dis
position to submit and conform to all the laws, but
many, by reason of poverty and distance from post
offices, are debarred from getting the information
by which to shape their conduct.
The Government is in debt, we know, but the
Post Office Department is self sustaining, and We
do hope cur clever P. NJ, Mr.. Guy WINES, will
make effort to get up, at least, few post Offices
in our county.

Foreign News.

The following foreign news is by the City OF
London, dated London, July IL, via Queenstown
on the 18th: Parliamentary elections commenced
en- the 18th. Ten members were returned on that
day, of whom three were Conservatives and seven
Liberals The contest was so favorable to the Lib
erals that the indications are Palmerston would
have an increased majority in the new House.
The Conservative journals were not disheartened
by the first days proceedings but hopeful of sue
cess. The London Borough returned in all sixteen.
Liberals, including J. Stuart MILL telegram is
reported announcing that the Pope has excommu-
nicated Macmillan. Additional official correspon
dcnce on American affairs has been published 1t
shows that England and France acted in concert,
and that concessions to Confederate vessels allow
ing them TO be disarmed and sold in neutral ports,
originated with Druydn L'Huys. Earl Eussel
agreed to the proposition, but pointed OFT that the
cruisers of the defnnct Government might be claim
ed as public property by the United States bit that
such claims must be decided in the course of law
In answer to Sir F. Bruce, Earl Russell gives his
opinion that the case of the Ella or Retribution
the vessel was lawfully condemned on the ground
that beligerent could not be transferred during
the war. In another dispatch Earl Russell replies
to Mr.. Stewards note on the cessation of beligernt
rights. He regrets that his explanations were not
acceptable to the United States and adduces argu-
ment in favor of Englands course He trusts that
these additional explanations will prove favorable
to the establishment of lasting friendship betweC n
the nations. 1t is stated that the steamer Be ,trce
(late Rappahannock) was overhaued by the Sac
ramento before reaching Liverpool but was per-
mlted to proceed. The following additional facts
have been learned in regard to the burning of the
ship Nelson: One boat, containing 81 persons, is
supposed TO have been picked up. The renal lining
500 persons on board doubtless persisted.
News say tina; the very latest English elections
are the all engrossing topic. Returns thus far re-
ceived show nett liberal gain of seven.

a superior quality of oil by our old friend R. B
Sloan, whose land is on MarrOwbone creek, about
sixteen miles from the city. 1t was only discovered
lat Monday, and as yet they have only dug sixteen
feet in the bank, The oil runs in fac stream, and
with very little labor it can be made to yield rs
much as any land in the country. We congratulate
Mr.. Sloan on his good fortune. This is the first oil
that has been struck in Tennessee. We hope our

the people were strenuously opposed to singing by

note, "and then came popery."
