Brick PomerOy's Lecture.

The Memphis Club Hall was well
filed last night, by the Friendly Sons
of st. Patrick and the admirers of
Brick Pomeroy, to hear his lecture on
6 Northern Style. The lecture,
so-called, was compound Of cop
perheadism, egotism, and nonsense,
occasionally, but very rarely, relieved
by a few words of common sense.
''Brick" evidently aspires to be sort
of Artemus Ward, but his efforts
SAVIOR more Of the ring than the plat
form. We heard one of his enthusi-
astic adm rers remark that " he beats
Dan. Rice all hollow" but we think
Dan. much the better clown of the
two. He also has the advantage of
"Brick in patriotism. The clown
sympathized with the brave men who
defended the flag of his country,
while the editor and would-be lee
turer has devoted himself to defaming
their leaders, and blackening the glo-
rious cause in which they were en-
gagged.
The principal portion of what was
called a lecture was taken up, with
attempts to be witty upon the sub
iects of ladies' fashions, counting,
kissing parties, ETC., with constant
repetition of the stale slang of the
Lacrosse Democrat, in its attacks
upon General Butler. So palpable
was the effort to lug in this subject,
and to pander to the prejudices OF
the audience, that it became tiresome
even to those whom it was intended
to please, and failed to bring forth
the expected applause.
A degenerate New Highlander,
lending himself to an effort to ridl-

cule the section that gave him birth,
and to foster prejudices and hatred
against the men who led the armies
and sustained the flag of his country,
must only render himself an object
for the contempt of all patriotic and
high minded men. Even those whose
prejudices are ministered to must de-
spise the man who takes this
course to gain their favor. They love
the treason but despise the traitor.
So bitter is this mans hatred of 10y
atty and patriotism that, not content
with tradueing the living leaders of
our brave armies, and characterizing
their noble efforts to uphold the
Government of our country as cru
SADIE for cotton and niggers," he even
dcsecrated the memory of the dead,
and held up to ridicule and scorn the
name of a brave and patriotic officer,
who was fighting the enemies of his
country while his present defamer
was encouraging them in their I'M
holy efforts to destroy the Govern
ment.
We trust that Brick" will not be
regarded by his Southern hearers as
a true specimen of Northern style"
Were he indeed such they would
have better reason than they now
have to detest Yankees. Memphis

As negro suffrage is now estab-
ished in Tenness ee, and Brownlow
renominated for Governor, it is pro-
posed to run negro candidate to test
the sincerity of the Radicals, and see
if they meant business when they
made the negroes citizens. Frank
Parrish, the well-known barber, is
spoken of as the man to beat Brown
low. He is the superior of Brown
low in almost every respect. He is
intelligent, moral, industrious, has a
fair education, has been a great trav
eler in foreign parts, is renowne d for
his affability and kindness of heart,

Railroad Projects.

We have been handed private let
ter to a wholesale merchant Of our
city, which we think of sufficient i'm
portance to lay before our readers.
Our merchants and manufacturers are
vitality interested in securing a rail
road connection with the people of
Illinois, and should avail themselves
of the first opportunity to do So The
people of Southern Illinois seem to
prefer the Mattoon and GRANVILLE
Road to that running from Cairo to
Vincennes, and it requires no argu-
ment to demonstrate to our people
that the building of one road will in
jure, while the completion of the other
will benefit, them immensely. The
indianapolis people favor the build
ing of a road through Vincennes TO
Cairo, hoping thereby to tap a rich
country and leave us out in the cold.
But with the Evansville, Henderson
and Nashville Road under contract,
and a vigorous taking hold of the Mat
toon and GRANVILLE Road, that move
ment will be fanked and our future
prosperity assured. Once convince
the people at the Capital that the two
enterprises of which we speak are
bound to succeed, and they will at
once choose Evansville in place of
Vincennes as the terminus of their
road.
The following is the letter, to which
we wish to direct attention:
BRIssENDEN FARM,
ALBION, EDWARDS COUNTY. ILL,
Feb. 20, 1867.
DEAR SIR-The subject of a rail-
road outlet now occupies the attention
of our people. We feel that we must
have market. We are tired of pay
ing from ten to twenty per cent. trans
portation duty on all the produce we
have to export, and on all the goods
we may wish to buy. We feel that
this tax would soon build US rail-
road.
We have two roads now in view
one from Vincennes to Cairo, for
which a move along the proposed
route has been made for each of the
seven counties through which it
passes to give bonus of 100000, or
100000 in all, to any company who
shall build the road. The other road
proposed is one from Nation to
GRANVILLE; which route, last Fall, was
considerably canvassed. A company
was also formed for the purpose of
having a survey made, &c. We can
build either of the above roads, but
we can build but one.
Now. as the produce of our county
is of heavy, bulky nature, and as it
behooves US to seek the closest per-
manent market best adapted to our
wants, | propose that the NATION 4
GRANVILLE Railroad be extended to
Evansville direct; and in order to
start the matter, [ further propose
that railroad meeting be held in the
city of Evansville, company be
formed for the building of said road,
officers elected, and the road put
through; for if not soon done, [ be-
lieve the county will lend her support
to the Vincennes & Cairo Road after
which it will be too late to talk of an
NJ, g. & E. Railroad.
Respectfully, G.. f. B.
