TIE BLUE RIDGE RAIL Road COMPANY.
AT a meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Blue Ridge Rail Road Company,
held recently at Charleston, the following
resolutions we're adopted:
"Resolved, That the President be au-
thorized to give to NJ. G. NJ. McGhee, Of
Knoxville, Tennessee, proxy to repre-
sent this Company at a meeting of the
Stockholders in the Tennessee River Rail
Road, to be held for the purpose Of elect.
ing President and Board of Directors
for that Company.
Resolved, That the President express
the anxiety Of this Company, to proceed
with the construction of the Blue Ridge
Rail Road, as early as practicable, and
their desire to avail themselves of such
additional aid as may be procured from
the Legislature of Tennessee, to carry on
the Tennessee portion oft.
Resolved, That the President be au-
thorized to apply to the Legislature for
power to deal with the Shares held by the
State in this Company, in the same man
ner as with the Shares of all other Stock
holders, in any arrangement that may be
made, with any other Companies or in
dividual for the completion Of the road.
That the power embrace the right to issue
preferred Shares to reduce the Shares held
by the State in the ratio, in which the
city of Charleston and other Stockholders
may consent that their Shares shall be
redeemed, or in any other manner in
which it may be found necessary to sur
render portion of the capital already
invested, to accomplish the construction
of the rail road.

bound them togetherl What finer chance
was ever offered to bring out all the
personal faculties and foibles of human
nature, and to rivet two men in Damon
and Pythias devotion Living with your
wife in an isolated lighthouse is nothing
to it.
From London to New York is, in round
terms, $500 miles, and the thirty eight
days of their passage would rate their
daily going at 90 S.19 miles, or some 3
$40 miles on an average every hour.
This appears slow. Remember, however,
the changes and chances of weather, and
that as purely sailing ship, the Red,
White and Blue was exposed to them all,
and the calms and adverse winds, and
their progress is much faster than most
sailing ships of 1900 tons, and even $500
tons burden, which seldom are not less
than forty-fve and often than sixty days
en- route.
The Red, White and Blue is a full
rugged ship. as much so essentially as
the Warrior and the Niagara. She was
conductedas ship, ,notas either schooner,
brig, or sloop, which would have been
less difficult and dangerous, but also less
creditable and wonderful in the grand
working. Passengers need have small
fear to commit themselves to life-boats in
mid-ocean when compelled to leave the
ship. There has been made in this life
boat no changes from all others of the
same build, except such alterations as
were entirely external, and simple
sharpening of the stern, to the acuteness
of the keel, so as to bring the vessel with
in the requirements ofthe ''cigar" ship
plan. This vessel has safely weathered
very rough seas, because the Great East
ern that was shufaing off the immortal
coil at the same time, circumstantiaIly
reports an extremely severe passage.
While this increased the danger and
difficulty of the voyagers, and the appre-
hension of those Of US that wildly re-
membered their situation, it is tribute
to the mon and the vessel, which, now
that their safety and reputation are as
sured, will be referred to with pride,
where it was butrecently spoken of with
anxiety.
