The Relief will assist nature In removing tho
offending cause,--a general warmth is felt
throughout the entire body, and its dihusivc
stimulating properties rapidly courses through
every vein and tissue Of the system arOusing the
slothfu and partially paralyged glands and
organs 10 renewed and healthy action peEpira-
ton follows, and the surface Of the body feels
increased heat The sickness at stomach, colds
chills, head-ac oppressed breathing, the sore
ness Of the throat, and all pains, either inter
naly or externally, rapidly subside, and the pa
tent falls into tranquil sleep awakes refresh

ternally, either on the spine or across the kid

THE SELMA ROAD-A sUGGEsTEON.
The APPEAL, true to its course IS 8
commercial as well ss political and news
/ paper, has kept the public spprised OF
every movement calculated In any wsy
to advance the interests of the Selma
Railroad, and has freely opened its col
umus to any suggestion to that end.
Among several from q correspondent,
who is also q friend Of the enterprise, we
will endorse the mOOted Presidency, and
the consolidation of the Road throughout
its entire length, from Memphis toselms,
under ONT Eoard of Directors IS ia the
case with the Charleston Railroad pass
ing through the same States. A better
administration Of the sffaiJs Of the Road
can thus be secured, and especially
greater efficiency in its construction.
A Railroad such as this will be, passing
through q section Of country where he
Il so well known, not only IS a soldier,
but as . practical, shrewd and active
business man, could be built and con-
trolled by Gen. FORREST as President,
in a shorter space of time and in a more
thorough manner, If assisted by a cou-
solidated Board Of Directors, than II sur
rendered into the hands Of s novice in
Railroad construction, and separate
Boards for Tennessee, Mississippi and
Alabams. The ssgacfty and quickness
Of movement which have distinguished
the General in every department Of life
that he has been called upon TO fill
might, in . work Of so great magnitude,
be more fttingly employed than at any
thing else. He knows how 70 command
men, is possessed Of uEtiring energy, in
domftabIs pluck, has had practical ex-
perienee in building as well as tearing up
railroads, aud no man in Memphis
knows better the labor capacity OF s
given number Of hands, while few could
procure more service on az economic yetaj
generous scale. IT, under the style Of the

Railroad" there should be S ~consoida-
tioD, such Gs We suggest, We are firm IN
the conviction thst, Is President OF the

give satisfaction and accomplish the re-
suits desired more readily, perhaps, than

NEW ORLEANS.

NEW ORLEANS, October I9.-The
steamship Texas, from Indianola, found
cred In a gale about the 9Th inst and was
completely wrecked. The captain and
crew were saved by the brig Emily and
brought here.
A dispatch received from Franklin,
La, states that the Office OF the AttdEd-
pos Register, published in Frankiip, st.
Mary's parish, was sacked last nighE and
the press destroyed aud type scattered.
The editor and printers left for New Or
leans this morning.
Another dispatch says the citizens of
Franklin and surrounding country are
doing all in their power to preserve or
der. The negroes are very impudent
and threatening.
The city Of Jefferson, adjoining New
Orleans, has been much excited for a
few days past over the police imbroRiio.
That parish is included in the lately Gre
ated Metropolitan Police District, and a
force was appointed to tske charge. The
existing authorities refused to surrender,
intending to have the matter tested in
tina courts. The "Metsv ATTEMPTED to
take possession by force, but unsucCess-
fully. They then established q STATEN
or their own, placing policemen on
bncAI oSHASs ~ uUMB6T d. EleSe, To-
gether with their metropolitan captain,
were arrested, but were released on
bonds. Last night q notorious negro
named Sandy Packer, said to be the
head Of the Loyal League, was arrested,
having a sword and pistol by his side.
he accounted o. their possession by say
ing he was an officer OF the Metroplitans.
During the night several negroes were
arrested while parading the streets,
armed with Enfield rifles and United
States cartridges, also boxes of Rmmuni-
ton. Rumors are sfioat that the Metro
politans intend to attempt their forcible
possession, which the existing suthori-
ties will resist. The Jefferson authorities
elected at a recent election are willing
to submit to a Judicial decision, but re,
fuse to surrender otherwise.
Negroes Were c~ongregating to-day at
Brashear City, La, where il is said that
q OF the men assassinated at Franklin
Saturday night, is to be buried. Ar
rivals from that section report great fear
of 8 disturbances, and that the families Of
citizens are being sent to places of safety,
the citizens themselves remaining.
