Eds. Appeal: Your correspondent
Wv, in your issue Of the 18th, IL speak.
ing Of our Main street railroad now il
rapid course of construction, ex.
presses an opinion and makes sew.
eral statements so manifestly efFoneou:
as scarcely 10 deserve notice, yet it mas
be better to correct them. He objects tc
a double track on Main street, as the
same will thereby be mouopolized say
ing, the street "from gutter to gutter, is
about forty feet" etc. Below Beai street,
as we are informed, Main street is sixty
eight feet wide, above Beal, ifty-eight
feet wide. The tvO tracks take up four
teen feet only Of the street, leaving below
Beal fdy-tOUr, and above Beal forty-f1u7
feet Of entirely clear street for carriage
use-beiDg just four feet more, exclusive
Of ear tracks, than "W." claims as the
width Of the street, and this too in its
narrowest division.
He objects to a double track for the
reason that in no other city in the Union,
save Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
" where the width is probably three
times that Of our Main street, with a
cNnmerce not one-tenth as great, has
the privilege OF a double track been
granted" In this your correspondent is
not wei informed. In the Northern and
Eastern cities tie RUE is double track
the exception the single one. A resi-
dcuce of some six weeks "a 4ae AsLOr

rSFaPRESlDENT JOHNsON'S Veto OF ue
Civil Rights bill, is the theme Of univer-
sal praise. Never were a set OF dema-
rogue so denuded, and exposed to the
contempt Of the people, as are the pro
iectors and supporters Of that ubiquitous
measure. He has stripped from Radical
ism ifs lions skin and hung upon It's
brov-s the ears Of the donkey.
THE ELECTION on SATURDAY.
On tomorrow the people Of Memphis
and Of shelby eounty viii pass judgment
mon their representatives, Messrs.
W,TEFR and PosToN, for their most
-,,a-itorious conduct in aiding to defeat
-ho Infamous Franchise Bill, by the only
,,cqeefR means within their reach.
Radical politicians may e%ndeavor, very
artfullv. to pervert the issue, and seduce
well meaning voters into the support Of
some other candidate who has been
weak enough TO lend himself 10 their
usas But as we have said before, there
is a principle involved in this election
which rises far abovean mere preference
between men, and which requires that
h people should come up in one I'M
broken phalanx, and sustain these their
faithful champions. Let it not be for
gotten, that, If this %atrocious measureh had
become a 1qtr, the Legislature Of Tennes-
see would have been bound, hand and
foot, for six years to the car Of the
Ougarchyit would establish, and that the
people Of Tennessee would have had no
other means Of emaneipating themselves
from It's thraldom than by revolution, or
the expense OF another Convention.
Letthe PEOPLE speak, on Saturday, in
g tone not to be mistaken.

FOURTH DISPATCH.

By communications of the Intendente
of Chloe, dated February s, received al
Naldivia, I learn that at four pm, on the
7th the Spanish Frigate Blanca stood in
towards the anchorage at Ancud, and
that the COvadonga Immediately went
out to offer battle, and after several shots
We're exchanged, one of which were
effective on account of the great distance,
the Villa de Madrid then joined her con-
sort, and after a fight Of two hours du-
ration, they hauled Off to near Tres
Cruces Three Crosses.
On u part We are without damage to
record, and are i~gnOrantof that sustained
by the Spanish.
The Peruviaus behaved with great de-
cision and enthusiasm, fully equal to the
Chileans.

THIRD DISPATCH.

The master of the sloop Etiman, which

The Well Regulated Family.

I have sweet rccollcctions Of a family
I once knew. In thinking Of them now,
feeling Of sadness crosses my mind,
because of being separated from them ;
but the day is at hand when the scparat'
cd friends Of Jesus shall meet, and then
I hope to meet this whole lamily-fathcr,
mother and ton or eleven children.
Ten years, perhaps, have passed, since
I lived near them, was intimate with
them, and often in their dwelling. The
word Of God was valued in that house,
and Christians assembled there to read
and pray.
Ono thing which struck me at the
time, and still remains wildly impressed
on my mind, was the implicit submission
Of the children to their parents. 1t was
not that they were easily subjected, but
that they did not appear to think Of
having n will in opposition to that Of
their parents. Yet they wero not in
slavi<h fear or dispirited. They were
not ruled with an iron rod.
l once said to the father, " How is it
that your children arc in such suhjcc.
tion?' This was his remarkable an
swcr We have made it n rule-a law
in this house, that no child shall act in
opposition to tho will Of tho parent
The parents will is expressed, the child
must:not disobcy. This is ~ under
stood thing with our children. When
there is q new comcr-whcn another
child is given us-wo have some trouble
with it; there is disposition to wilful.
ness, until We get our rulc understood
By it and established. Then We have
no moro trouble with tit acts like the
others. Mothers Treasure.
