The times were full of potentS, and loyal
men in this State were surrounded by dan
gers, both seen and unseen, 1t was there
fore more than ordinarily proper, indeed ne.
cessary, that the deliberations Of the Con.
ventions should be guided by carefulness
faithfulnesF, sagacity, and Fixed resolution
TO stand by and uphold the doings Of the
body. He trusted that such spirit Rnimat.
ed the breast Of every delegate present.

marks Of Judge Lucky were received with
hearty applause.

W. Metcalfe, Of the Press and Times, was
chosen temporary secretary.

From lhe Nashville Press Times, saturly Feb. 20I


Yesterday was grand occasion for
holding State Convention of loyal
men. AS the anniversary OF the birth
day of the immortal Geor e Wash
ington, who spent . large portion Of
his valuable life in labors to build mp
and cement tho Union, it was pecu-
liarly appropriate for any work in
tended to build up and cement 4en-
nessee attachment to the Union.
The skies were auspiCious, and the
day pleasant. At an early hour II
great United States flag was suspend
ed over the front portal Of the capi
tol, and the flights Of steps in the in.
terror, leading to the second story,
were studded with guidons which had
directed the movement OF many a
body Of troops which had fought to
sustain the government of our fathers.
The representative hall was simi-
Iarly adorned. The portrait Of the
martyr Lincoln, hanging on tho wes-
tern wall, was surrounded with the
emblems Of our nationality which he
loved so well, while the portrait OF
his successor in the presidential Of
fee, on the opposite wall, the apOstate
johnson, was left as bare and US neg.
lccted as his own fate.
TIE attendance Of delegates was
very large. Every county in the
State had made selections OF repre-
sentativos, and was directly present,
excepting in a few cases by proxies.
The enthusiasm and unanimily were
remarkable. Probably u convention
more in accord regarding the objects
for which il was called, never Assem-.
bled. Every proposition coming be-
fore it was adopted or rejected with u
oneness of judgment and feeling
which augur promisingly for the re.
suits of the approaching campaign
Floor and galleries were alike crowd
ed, and enthusiasm marked every
stage of the proceedings.

RAILROAD misunderstanding upon
the feasibility of completing the railroad
over the continent in a comparatively
brief time, the Salt Lake Vsdette says:
The Union Pacific have their cars run
ming 3O5 miles west Of Omaha, and a r
" in the Spring will continue the work
of grading and laying the rails. They
expect to reach the Rocky Mountains
(5l7 miles) during the ensuing Summer,
and, il Congress will give them permis-
sion to commence work at Salt Lake
and progress both eastward and west
ward till their two ends meet, complet-
ing the connection between Salt Lake
and New York.
The distance from Sacramento to Salt
Lake along the supposed route is about
625 miles; from Omaha to Salt Lake,
l,o35. When it is contemplated how
much has already been done toward
building the trans-continental railroad,
and how little is really left to be done,
we may now indeed begin to count upon
its early and certain completion. The
distance from New York to Sacramento,
BY the railroad route, is 1928 miles, of
which 1887 miles has been completed
and is now in successful operation, leav-
but l,252 miles yet to be built. If the
two companies should, in their rivalry,
build altogether at the rate Of three
miles per day, the gap could be closed
in 4ls days-that is, in less than a year
and a half. We propose, however, to
give them two full years, and then take
a trip TO the ocean on the great Pacific
road.
There is a uniform gauge established
by law upon all the Pacific railroads of
four feet eight and a half inches. This
corresponds with the gauge Of most Of
the Eastern roads, and will give an I'M
broken gauge from New York to San
Francisco.
