A notice of q race, in the Baton
Rouge Adrocate, has the following
regulations appended: The Judges
will settle no squabbles between pri
vate parties. The fastest horse will
win the race. Colored people will be
removed from the track, if they do
not behave like white people. No
fighting allowed till after the race,
and then not within 600 yards of the
track. No liquor to be brought on
the ground, outside of the person
carrying it.
Anna Dickinson has given to the
doctor who attended her when she
was i'll out West, pair of goblets
with an inscription stating, among
other things, that they are given Sin
remembrance of life we'll saved. ;"
which is doubtful as question of
fact, and, anyhow, argues great cheek
in Anna to say.

KmPORTANT TO MEnPHIs AND OUR
RAILROAD CONNECTIONS.


The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad
Company has q location along the thirty
fifth parallel, from a point as yet unde-
fined, in the Valley Of the Canadian
river, to the Pacific ocean, and from such
underlined point, (which will probably be
in the n~eighborhOOd Of Webber's Falls
or North Fork Town there are to be TWO
branches, one running 70 Springfield IN
Missouri, snd the other to Fort Smith,
there connecting with the Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad. By reason, as
alleged, OF improper treatment at the
hands Of the authorities Of Missouri, in
connection with their work, the Com
pany have concluded to commence the
work Of construction at Fort Smith.
We are glad that the Company have
at last concluded under its new regime,
to do that which it ought to have decided
to do from the beginning, if for no other
reason than that they will, atFOrt Smith,
have 8 river Communication at once that
can be relied upon for six or eight months
in the year; whereas, st their initial point
in Missouri, to-wit, Springfield, they
would be one hundred miles from any
means Of communication by river or
rail with the East. Besides, the eonnec-
ton by rail between Fort Smith and
Memphis may reasonably be expected to
be completed long before the connection
can be made between st. Louis and
Springfield, as We learn from q reliable
source that a contract has just been made
IN New York which will secure our con-
nection with Fort Smith, by rail, within
q very short period Of time. We also
understand that the Southwest Pacific
Railroad Company, upon whose success
the connection at Springfield must
depend, contemplate q suit with
the authorities Of Missouri, which
must necessarily cause delay in its
construction. There seems there
fore, a probability, II not a certainty,
that Memphis will soOn have it within
her power 70 reach forth and grasp the
rich trade Of New Mexico and the inter
mediate country. Should this prove to
be the case, We earnestly hope that moth
ing shall be wanting on the part Of our
authorities and citizens to secure so rich
s prize.
1t is needless to comment upon the
very great advantages Memphis must
derive from the construction Of this
trans continental road, and every thing
that can be done by the authorities and
the people OF Arkansas and Tennessee
toward the furtherance Of this great en-
terprise should be done without delay
and without reluctance.

~IxTIMIDATI0N or vOTER'


A great deal Of virtuous indignation
hiss been unnecessarily expended IN Rad
icaldom, upon the subject Of what It
termed the " bribery +" of voters, by the
refusal Of Co~nservaties 10 employ ne
| groes who voted to continue indefinitely
the Acknowledgement Of their betters and
superiors.
1t is indeed very becoming in these
gentry to pirate Of intolerance, aud to be-
come the champions Of freedom Of opin-
ion. 1t is not long since it was a crime,
which consigned men to dungeons and
classmates, as hateful to constitutional
liberty as the iron cages Of LOUIS the
Eleventh. The honesty Of that party is
OF the same quality as the piety Of the
Governor Of Tennessee. This is per-
fectly evident from its course when moth.
ing imposed restraints upon the vanton
H-centiousness Of its power. The Ma
iOnal bgtcHgencer tells Us how il M,
respected freedom Of opinion. Il savs.
