We notice that Major WoFFoRD, of
Corinth, Mississippi, who was in our
city not long since, and called upon
our merchants, presented to the meet
ing above referred to the interests of
the Corinth & Tennessee Railroad.
He stated-that the Company was de-
ssirous to divide~the stock needed,
about $50, OO0y betweenw Louisville,
Evansville and Cincinnati, in order
to give each unequal share in the in
terest. Louisville, he said, wanted
80 take all, with-certain advantages
eeded, but this the Company declined.
The Cincinnatfmeeting approved of
the project. and appointed the follow
ING. committee to solicit subscriptions
from the citizens: w. r. PEARoE,
Gre. Foster, d. c. FOWLER, Rob-

enterprise.

his Cabinet has been repeatedly allud-
ed to In this correspondence. There
is authority to repeat the same with
full permission of the President. 1t
was suggested to him this afternoon
that the great popular verdict indors-
ing his policy would prevent further
agitation of impeachment. The Presi-
dent replied he thought not, but APP
pretended that the Radical leaders
would become even more desperate,
and hesitate at nothing to accomplish
their revolutionary purposes. In

ers which the Constitution furnishes
for its own protection and preserva-
ton. This was said with great
warmth and earnestness. 1t would
be criminal, he said. not to resist an
effort on the part of Congress to usurp
or destroy the Executive Department.
and he thought it well for the coun-
try to know his opinion and his pur-
pose in relation to Cabinet changes.
He said he would strengthen him
self for any emergency that might
arise. Circumstances, he said neces-
STATED change, and this should be
done before Congress met In the Sc

After the result of the Ohio election,

honest collection of the revenue, and
the punishment of all frauds, espec-
tally in the whisky excise; 4th-a re-
duction of the taxes upon raw pro-

upon the minor departments of in
