1t is simply to reach Covingtou by the
"shortest practicable route, in order to enter
on this very competition" Nor is the road
to Shadwell the only line which has to be
built: That to Newport News will complete
the connection and bring Richmond to Hamp-
ton Roads!
Now, our contemporary complains of the
vast sums spent in uuproductive roads, and
yet it attacks General MAHoNE's plan to con-
solidate roads already running and equipped
in the very same issue in which it urges the
construction of a line to reach Covington by
the shortest practicable route" If Rich
mond can build up port by this means on
the margin of Hampton Roads, at the White
House or Rockets, why cannot we build up
a foreign trade here in the finest harbor on
the Atlantic coast? If it is practicable, land
it can be done, in either case, MAHoNE5 is
the cheapest, most certain and immediate
plan to attain the grand object Of our people
Why then oppose it? We implofe our vene
rable contemporary to abate its opposition to
General MAHoNE's rational plan for the res
toration of roads, and the regeneration not Of
Norfolk, but of Virginia, whose history the
Enquirer has helped to make for 50 many

RrownIow and Stevens,

Coo and MAGoa of the Radicals, have
spoken, and there is a strict agreement be-
tween them in sentiment and opinion. They
look upon lis as the representatives of Just so
much plumber, as having forfeited the right to
hold property, or to live upon the earth.
Hence it is that we find the apostate Brown
Low publicly uplifting his voice, trenulous
with palsy, IN favor OF marching an army in
to Our borders with the torch 10 ore hand
and the sword III the other, to be followed
by the surveyor to parcel out cur lands. He
would initiate STRoNGBoN and CROMWELL and
WILLIAM. STEVENS talks to the same pur-
pose On the 4th inst he made speech in
Bedford, Pennsylvania, in which he avowed
opinions that would have charmed ALvA
and been eongenial to the ethics If Captain
k1Dp. For example. iii speaking of the late
war, he said the life, liberty, and property Of
the subdued party are at the disposal If the
victor, and he profaney added, that by
"God'a will, he will again try to apply HIS
plan of ''confseation

ness, II it is to be finally defeated, and the
hopes of man thus distinguished, pray God
that, when it happens, may be insensible to
human misery; that my senses may he locked

Nothing could be more brutaly explicit
than the utterances Of these two men, nor
could these dicta come from more anthorita-
tive sources. We could accumulate evidence
to show that these declarations trny set
forth the true sentiment Of our relentless enc
mics; but, the task is unnecessary.
The fact is too plain to need prof. Where
then, We ask, are the men insane enough to
find fault with the Philadelphia Convention
and the results of its deliberations? if there
be any such, let them get into straight Jack
cts or out of the world, for if STEVENS and
his party get into power, we will find that
they have not told the half of their bloody and

ton of Delegate of the city to the General As

| am actuated TO this step, not solely by
the articles which have appeared in the pa
pers, from time to time, during my protracted
absence from the city, though they have their
influence; more especially as time is not left
for discussion Of the matters referred to in
those articles.
No allusion, believe, has been made to
my position and votes On those great issues
that were agitating the people of our State,
and Of the whole country at the time that
was elected. The restoration of our beloved
State to her position as one of the great fra

! power, and the work of thoroughly reorgani-
zing her business, her government, ard her
laws, engaged the Judgment and skill of that

called to the capital by the extremity Of a
! suffering and bewildered people.

Anniversary OF the Battle of Nash

A communication was read in both
Houses announcing that Major General
Thomas and staff would, In response to the
Invitation of the Legislature, visit Nash
vile to participate In the ceremonies of the
anniversary of the battle of Nashville. A
joint resolution was adopted appointing q
joint committee to nj Ike the necessary ar
engagements towards proper celebration
OF the occasion.
Measures 10 Recover School Fund.
The Senate adopted a resolution author
izing the Governor to take active measures
to recover the school fund which has been
distracted, and that for this purpose he
have and exercise plenary powers to do and
perform all necessary acts In the premises.
Parties connected with the Tennessee Ma
tional Bank of Memphis to-day admitted
that the State Treasurer had received con-
sldcration for placing the school fund in
charge of that institution. Public senti-
menC is much exercised on the subject and
Tears are entertained that the school fund
isswindled away. Gov. Brownlow is using
prompt energy to save 1t If possible.

Much interest is again manifested in Fe-
Man circles here. Circles recently organ
lied at Knoxville and Chattanooga, under

Terrible AR1ray.
On Sunday evening Sweetwater, Tenn,
was the scene of terrible atfray, resulting
IN the death of all the participants. Capt.
VIM. jenkins, formerly of Marietta, Ga,
had been Tor several days in Sweetwater
attending to some private business. On
Sunday evening, when passing near the
railroad depot, he was accosted by three
men belonging to Athens,' Tenn, two of
whom were brothers named McGaughey,
name OF the third one unknown. An al
tercation ensued, when pistols were drawn
by the party. Capt. Jenkins was mortally
wounded, but before falling succeeded in
firing at his assailants, killing one of the
McGaugheys instantly and mOrtally
woundlDg the other two men. All of the
parties have since died. The affair pro-
duced considerable excitement in Sweet
water, where all the parties were well
known. The unfortunate affair originated
during the war. In December, 1864, a raid
was made iutO the town of Athens by
bushwhacking party. During the time
they occupied the town, McGa1ghey, faith
er of the young men concernei in the me-
lee on Sunday was killed. The McGaugheys
were Union men. Capt. jenkins was an
officer in the raiding party, and believed to
be concerned in killing McGaughey.
