Tennessee and Pacifio railroad.


The Nashville correspondent of the Mem
phis Post, writing under date of the 9th,
thus refers to the projected Tennessee and
Pacific railroad
4 viii first allude to what is, in my judg
ment, the most important among the various
enterprises now engaging public attention,
as calculated to develop the resources of the
State of Tennessee. l refer to the work
proposed by the Tennessee and Pacific Rail-
road. The charter of that company is among
a large number of the special acts of the last
session Of the Assembly, all having in view
the extension Of our already vast railroad
system. Indeed, the last session of the
Assembly has deserved well Of the State, in
consideration alone of It's large amount of
most liberal legislation in behalf of railroads,
on which l may remark, in passing, East
Tennessee has its full share, despite of and
in refutatiOn Ofthe charge that the other
sections Ofthe State have never been disposed
to deal literally and justly with that portion
Of the State
The Tennessee and Pacific Railroad
Company propose, by building direct road
from this city to Knoxville, and supplying a
few links necessary to secure a direct cOnneC-
ton with Memphis, to open up more direct
and advantageous communication with the
Atlantic coast, at some eligible harbor-
Norfolk, Tor Instance-and at the same time
to secure, by its Western connections,
communication with that mighty artery, the
Pacific Railroad which is to carry across the
continent, at no distant day, the pulses of
the highest commercial life that any nation
has known The Imagination can hardly
compass the results upon the prosperity of
Tennessee, which would be produced by the
completion of this road
At present all the indications are most
aattering to the hopes of the Immediate
Inauguration of the real work of this enter
prise. The commissioners, who are entrust-
ed under the charter of the company with
all matters preliminary to permanent organ
izatiOn, have entered most earnestly upon
their duties, and have chosen John Kirkmap
President j. w. Paramore Secretary, and
j. w. Allen Treasurer; also a committee to
receive subscriptions in land, lator and
materials as well as money, thus adjusting
the line Of proceedings to the present state
OF the country

Terrific Storm.

Never in the memory of the Oldest in
habitant, has Marshall county been visited
by such destructive rain and hail storm
as passed through portion of it on Sunday
evening last. The storm commenced few
miles northwest of Holly Springs, and
passed in a southwestern direction, des-
troying hundreds of acres of cotton, corn,
wheat and oats, In its devastating course.
We know of numbers of large farms in the
immediate vicinity and in a few miles of
Holly Springs, that have been literally strip
ped Of all growing vegetation. The damage
done to many of our farmers is irreparable,
as the season is too far advanced to replant
cotton with any degree of certainty of
making a crop land many of them had expen-
ded all the means they could raise to make
a crop the present year. The hail stones
were larger than we ever saw fall before,
many of them being as large as goose egg
and measuring six or seven inches in cir
conference The ground, in many places,
was covered to the depth of from one to two
feet, and at ten o'clock on Monday morning
last, wagon loads of the ice could have
been gathered within two or three miles of
Holly Springs. Our city was on the eastern
edge of the storm and received but little
damage from the hail; but many houses q
few miles west of here ere damaged by
large hail stones passing through the roofs
and breaking all the glass in the windows
Stock were killed in several places and,
take it all in all, we sincerely hope that our
people will never witness another such
storm.
The farms of Messrs. Willis, Ward,
McClatchie, Fennell Alexander, y. Smith,
Mckinney, Jefferies, AbstOn, Mrs Burton,
and hundreds of others, are literally ruined
by this destructive hail storm. Where hun
dreds of bales of cotton would have been
raised, if this unfortunate occurrence had
not taken place, but very few viii now be
realized.-HoLly Springs Reporter 8tb.

Don't Tell More than one Lie at a Time.
Here is a specimen Yankee paragraph
touching. the growing cotton crop. We take
it from the columns of Moore's Rural New
Yorker, a paper devoted entirely to agricul-
tural pursuits
CoTToN PRosPEcTs.-In the South the as
pect Of affairs is brighter, as general thing,
than could have been reasonably expected
so soon after the trying and exhaustive
struggle through which these States have
passed. So sudden a change in the system
of labor practiced there could not well occur
without producing more or less derange-
ment, but reports generally concur in the
conclusion that business IS adjusting itself
to the altered circumstances of the country
with a celebrity as remarkable as unexpected
Immediately preceding the late rebellion, in
the Southern States, the product of cotton
was five millions Of bales year. 1t is now
estimated that, should no untoward circum-
stances occur, the crop Of the present year
viii be from three and half to four mil
lions Of bales. Even the less amount is
better than could have been anticipated IN
der the circumstances.

\ PRACTICAL JOKE. private cor
respondent relates practical Joke on
q Western editor, which will be re-
lished so highly here that we are
tempted to give our readers the bene-
tit of it. He writes from Eastville.
Indiana, to the following effect:
"Ihere are two papers published
here-one conservative and the other
radical, of course. 4 few days ago,
the radical editor received an anony-
nous contribution in verse, headed,
Our Late Lamented President No
name was called, but the loyal
editor, seeing, perhaps somewhat
darkly, through his own glasses, dis
covered glowing eulogy on Abra-
ham Lincoln. In the enthusiasm of
his loyalty, he did not hesitate to
depart from the rule of all newspa-
pers, not to publish anonymous con-
tributions, and ascribing the conceal
ment of the authors name to exces-
sive modesty, he gave the verses q
conspicuous place in his paper. Po-
ltical feeling here just now runs
high. Before noon, the editors sane
tum was thronged with the anxious
and bewildered faces of his colleagues
and subscribers; They poured in
'one by twos, like the sanimules' in
'Gldeon's Band. to inquire what pos
sessed him to publish cu ncrostic o,,
jeff. DariS'
The perpetrator, or, as the out
ragged editor. in the desperation Of
his frenzy, called him, the 'puppy-
traitor OF this cruel joke has not
been detected, though vigorous search
has been made for him. There is q
clever young fellow about town, who,
when boy, discovered an incurabio
propensity for worrying snakes His
favorite pastime was to pin the heads
Of the reptiles to The ground with a
forked stick, and then, after making
them blind with rage, to thrust their
tails into their mouths 1t amused
his innocent, childish fancy to see
them inoculate themselves with thei.
own poison. That Young fellow is
strongly suspected"

The Portland Confiagration.

We are not among those who can
rejoice at the destruction of property,
even when it might be considered in
some sense a retribution in kind for
past misdecds. But the recent de-
struction of mile and-a-half of the
city of Portland, Maine, brings
forci5ly back to the mind and imagi-
nation of every Columbian, the fear
full night of the 18th February, 1865,
when about the same area of their
own beautiful city was destroyed; and
we should not be at all surprised that,
in Witnessing the destruction of their
own city, the thoughts of the scenes
that must have been witnessed in
Columbia, did not forcibly present
themselves to the minds and imagi-
nations of many of tho citizens Of
Portland.
BE this as it may, the destruction
caused by such terrible conflayrations
must teach very impressive lessons,
and having passed through the fiery
furnace, wo feel sure that the large
majority of the citizens of Columbia
will sincerely sympathizo with the
people of Portland, in the large
amount of individual loss and of
personal suffering caused by this
calamity, which was no doubt the
result of accident; but at the same
time they may justly feel indignant
at the causes Of very far different
nature which resulted in the destruc
ton of their own city.

Judge Busted.

Ihe kIcbmond Times has the fol-
lowing severe criticism on one of
the opinions of this judges:
The people of Alabama are affiict-
ed with q United States District
Judge who is writing himself down a
more gigantic donkey than even our
own precious Underwood. 1t would
seem that the lamented Lincoln must
have broken up some travelling me-
nagerie when he achieved the s.bir
Joke" of appointing Federal Judges for
the Southern districts.
He captured somewhere near "the
Tombs" in New York, notorious
fellow named ''Dick Busteed," and
made him District Judge in Ala
bama. Envious of the rising star Of
Underwood's greatness, Busteed cx-
Pioded Il few days ago, i'll charge to
his grand jury, in which he assured
them with great earncstness and So
iemnity, that "if q man has committed
treason once and obtained pardon
therefor, and taken the necessary
oath, and then, like an migrate,
breaks his oath, he is remitted to his
original state of guilt, and is male
factor deserving the punishment of
treason, perjury and ingratitude. And
does man, the Judge asks, keep his
oath to faithfully support the Consti-
tuition OF the United States, and the
Union Of the State Hereunder, whose
every word concerning either is one
OF abuse and detraction? The grand
Jury are requested to take notice of
the speech OF these oath takers, and
to remember their own oaths."
1t is possible that Underwood NAV
have talked nonsense almost rs absurd
as this, but it has escaped our at
tcntion. What renders this farrago
still moro absurd, is the definition of
treason in another part Of this charge
by Busteed, in which he emphatically
lnstrncts the jury that the offence of
treason can only be committed by
taking up arms against the Govern
ment." He then deliberately assures
his jurors that, in the case of sspardon-
ed rebels, +" "abuse of Congress" does
constitute treason and should he
punished
The absurdities of these poor,
Ignorant and demented wretches are
rather more than the radicals can
bear, and the squirming and obiur-
cations Of the respectable radical
Journals when Busteed and Under
wood make donkeys of themselves, is
exceedingly diverting Where i'm the
world could Mr.. Lincoln have caught
his Judges? Did he get wind of the
tribe i'll reading Gulliver's account of
the Yahoos?

Our 1oUSd Men. N.-Thc Richmond

Our IorNG MEN. The Richmond
Times says:
We hal! with peculiar pleasure the
very decided manifestations Of learn
ing, scholarship and literary talent
upon the part of the youth Of the
South who have just been released
from our leading institutions of learn
ing.
Coming, as u large majority OF
them did, from the camp to the
lecture room, they are said TO have
exhibited M ardor in the acquisition
Of knowledge, and Il respect for good
order and discipline unparalleled in
the history Of college life in this State.
Nor do their minds seem to have
been idle during the long, dreary
hours of inactivity in camp. While
winning laurcls i'll the field, they do
not seem to have lost sight OF the
priceless advantages of education
The condition our unhappy section
seems to have inspired the Young
men Of the South with renewed
energy and activity. They no longer
exhibit either fastidionsncss in the
selection Of a profession, OF reluctance
to prosecute with energy any honor
able occupation.
Among tho most common and
popular delusiona, was one that years
must necessarily clapso before the
habits and rcstlcssncss of tn. camp
could be cast aside. The success
with which onr yonnS men have pro
secuted their studies, and the zeal
with which they enter upon the most
commonplace pursuits, pretty cf-
fectually disprove this theory.

The sum total Of the European

formally declared war, and thrown q
force across the Mincio; that Prussia
has occupied Dresden, Wiesbadcn
and some other points of less impor-

tions of the Hanoverians. No
serious collision has yet occurred, but
great battle was expected. Cardi-
nal Antonelli had resigned; and n
ministerial crisis was expected in

North Carolina.


A telegram to the New York T'i-
bane, from Washington, asserts that %
delegation from North Carolina is at
the capital, anxious to- ascertainson
what terms that State could be nd
mitted into the Union. They applied
to Thad. Stevens, whoinformed them
that the State would have to adopt
the constitutional amendment, and
that it would also be necessary for
Congress to pass an enabling Act by
o two-thirds vote, setting forth who in
the State shall participate in a con-
vention to form new Constitution.
The telegram further states, that on
being requested to designate those
who should thus be recognized, the
delegation conferred together, and,
on the Sd, sent to Mr.. Stevens the
following draft of a necessary section
of the enabling Act:
s'No one shall be eligible to q scat
in the Convention, or permitted to
vote for delegates thereto, or upon
the ratification of the Constitution
that the Convention shall submit to
the people, who ut my time before
the rebellion, as on officer of the
United States, or of the State, in any
other capacity, had taken all oath to
support tho Constitution of the
United States, and subsequently
thereto voluntarily engaged in the
rebellion, or Intentionally gave aid
and comfort thereto, or who has held
under the so-called Confederate Go
vernment the position of President
Vice-President, member of tho Cabi-
net, member of either branch Of Con-
gress, Judge of the civil courts, TO-
reign agent or officer of the army
above the grade of colonel, or of the
navy above the grade of lieutenant,
or the Office Of Governor, Secretary
Of State, or Treasurer of the State,
while in rebellion, or who resigned
any position under the United States
and took part in the rebellion, or
who, at any time, voluntarily en-
gagged in molesting, restraining,
threatening or injuring any citizen,
his family Or estate, because of his
opposition to the rebellion, OF be-
cause of his efforts in behalf of the
Union, unless it shall be made to APP
pear that such person ceased to aid
the rebellion, and exerted himself for
a restoration of the Union before the
first day of January, 1865"
We are disposed to believe that
this whole story is manufactured out
of the whole cloth; but if it should
be otherwise, we have no doubt that
the above "draft" OF disfranchise-
ment of all true and gallant North
Carolinians, met with the full ap-
proval of old Stevens. It will be in
teresting to know who these delegates
were, and we feel tolerably well
assured that no native Carolinian
could so far forget the first lesson
taught by old Mecklenburg in the
first revolution, or become SO recre-
ant to their State or the descendants
of the men who issued "the first de-
claration of independence" in Anne
rica, as to bow the knee and suppl
cate favors at the expense of the
honor of the State, from such an old
fanatic as Thaddeus Stevens. Nous
