could, every thing said at the meeting. Tho only
actinn taken IN regard 10 Tho cXtensDn Of the rail

Tenncssos and Kentucky, I,ouisvillo md Cncinntt,
especially to inform them OF tho gront cntcrprlBo

those quarters.
Tho suggestion Of Judge AIcrman was n very

McCquley, Engineer OF tho East Tennessee Rail-
road, now building, Mr.. Hammett, President Of tho
GrecnyiiIe and Columbia Railroad; Mr.. Jcter Frosi-

great deal toward securing tho attention OF all

secure, in tho end, sufficient subscription of capt.
