The question whether or not man can
commit to memory three-act play, with
sufficient accuracy to produce it on the
stage three thousand miles away from the
place where he heard it, is engaging the
attention of the Supreme Court in New
York city. Mr.. Lester Wallack sued for
an injunction to prevent Mr.. William j..

caste, on the ground that the plaintiff
bought it, while the defendant helped him
self to a copy. Mr.. Florence replied that
he heard the play several times in London,
and had committed it to memory without
the AID of notes. Counsel for the plaintiff
declares this an impossible feat. " Not al

The importance of the Tennessee and
Pacific railroad, and the certainty Of its
early commencement and rapid constr
ton, may be regarded as fixed facts and no
longer as matters of speculation and doubt.
Parties entirely responsible have contract
ed to build and equip the road as rapidly
as a work Of such magnitude can be done
The consolidation Of a line from Norfolk
to Bristol with our line to Memphis is in
progress of accomplishment, and is only
matter of time; also a line oftwelYe ocean
steamers from Norfolk to Europe by the
same company, is alike hopeful of ac-
complishment. Parties in Europe con-
nected with the company, write to US that
they can safely guarantee the shipment of
600 to 1900 emigrants weekly with through
tickets by steamer and railroad 10 settle
chiefly in Virginia and Tennessee.
All these great projects are based on en-
ar line from Norfolk by Nashville to Menu
phis, which will bring at least one-third Of
the cotton, tobacco, wheat, and other ex-
ports from the Southern States BY much
quicker and shorter route to Norfolk The
details OF this gigantic scheme viii come
before the public in due time.
The crops, except few districts in Nir-
ginia, are remarkably promising, all the

A visit to the celebrated Allegheny
Springs, at the base of the Allegheny
mountains, three and half miles south of
Shane's Station, on the Virginia and Ten
nessee railroad, was one of the pleasures of
my trip of nine weeks. Tennessee is well
represented at this fashionable and health
invigorating place-about half the number
of visitors 150l being from our State.
Colonel NJ, who presides with so much
dignity in the Office was pointed out to me
as a sample of the virtues of these mineral
waters-once lean dispeptic, but now a
robust and fine looking man. The place is
beautiful and the fare superior. They talk,
and walk, and eat by music through the
day, and dance by music at night. Colonel
Calhoun, the agent and partner of the
owners, is the right man in the right place.
The Piedmont House, at the depot of
Virginia and Tennessee railroad, at Lynch
burg, is one of the best stopping places on
the route East, and being free of extra
charges for baggage, hack hire, etc, it is
well patronized. Respectfully, etc,

leans, etc.
NEW YORK, August l0.-The Times
Washington special says 1t is reported,
on good authority, that President johnson,
sEer having signed the death sentence of
Mrs. Surratt, remarked to the officer of the
military committee, who had presented the
findings to him, that we must be protected
against female assassins as we'll as male
assassins. This remark, according to
my authority, was elected by the con-
sideratlOn of the recommendation to mercy
OF Mrs. Surratt. Among the documents on
file in the War Department, relative TO the
assassination conspiracy, is the confession
OF Atzerodt who was executed, in which he
states that Booth told him on the day of the
assassination, that Johnny (meaning Sur
ratt) was in town, and occupied rooms at
the Herndon House
The financial troubles in New Orleans,
which have been partially settled BY the

by the city, 50 that it is now received at

backs, will probably be renewed very soon,
as speculatOrs here and in New York as
well as in New Orleans, are making pre-
parations to depreciate the currency again,
by threatening to commence proceedings
against the corporation for violation Of
the national bank law, in issuing of its
notes.
Col. Thomas Adams, removed yesterday
from the office of Chief of Police in New
Orleans, is one of the city officers incul-
pated by the report of the Military Com
mission and Congressional Committee,
which investigated the riot of 1866, as
leader of the rioters. 1t is stated, at the
lead of the police force of one of the pre-
cincts, he made most murderous charge
against the members of the Convention
but he received the credit of having saved
the life of exGov. Hahn and one or two
other prominent Unionists who were threat
ened by the mob.

Mrs. Randall, who is now in Scotland, and
