MENPHIs AND SELMA RsLEoAp. The
Board OF Directors of the Memphis and
Selma road have been ia session IN this
city for the past two daya lfevldence
we're wanting Of the earnestness OF those
engaged in this enterprise, II would be
found 10 the fact that the Directors from
Alabams and Mississippi-merchanis.
lawyers and farmers-all are present.
Last night they were engaged I'LL late
hour discussing the ways and meaps OF
building the road. That il will be built
no one doubts. The necessities Of the
age aud country demand Il. The Board
OF Directors ars only anxious TO achieve
their task in the speediest manner.
Farmers and landowners along the line
Of the contemplated road know that the
value Of their property depends upon the
success OF this enterprise. Each can well
afford 10 convey one-third or one half
his land TO the company, that the value
OF the acres left may be doubled and
quadrupled in value. Much depends
upon Memphis, the great beneficiary Of
the road but Memphis has never failed
to act wisely when the people are con-
suited.

New MEMPHIS THEATER.-The rain and
wind did not prevent large attendance
at the New Memphis last night, where the
Lottery of Life is so graphically repre-
scented that one loses sight of the fact that
be sits in the theater, and imagnes him
self in the world and the actors so many
individuals playing ont the great role of
life. If some parts Of this play should
somewhat shock the ovel-sensitive minds,
nothing more was intended by the author
than to place before us the mirror, that
we might look on human nature under
all phases and circu instances of this life
All the actors have become stars in their
particular parts; having gone through
the piece so often, they are enabled to
present the PROJECTIONS of the play. One
more opportunity will be afforded the
Memphis public by the management to
witness this great play, and if not taken
advantage of, may be q source of regret,
as few plays of the day have had so pop
ulsr a run as John Brougham's LOTTERY

PERSONALS IN NEWSPAPERS. = Editors
Public Ledger: Newspapers are uni
versally criticised by all classes, and
perhaps more so by incompetent than by
accomplished critics. Most men, as well
as women, consider themselves infalli-
BILE in their judgments of oil other men.
1t is evident, in this particular, that a
magnificent majority of MS, then, are
perfectly oblivious to the host of errors,
under which burden many of us are
likely to be submerged, if the life-boat OF
some kind friend does not soon glide
over the waves to our rescue. But our
judgment upon the subject Of PERSONAL
ties in the public prints (for it is this
subject we propose briefly to condemn,
has been much strengthened, and in a
great measure formed by many, very
many times hearing ladies of the best
taste in society here, express them
selves in the most condemnatory
manner possible of such things, and OF
the great improperly and bad taste Of
these personals in the newspapers 1t is
enough to make marble statue of Venus
blush to a crimson hue to be stared at,
on Sabbath mornings, by the members of
the Bears Oil Brigade" in front of the
different church doors; but even this is
far preferable to having ones name, or
accurate description of dress, residence,
ETC., continually heralded in the papers.
Actually our ladies never can appear
fashionably or handsomely dressed upon
the streets without well-grounded fears of
being published in the papero. We are
reliably informed that very many ladies
fear to give any kind of an entertain
ment, because some ubiquitous reporter
will be asking permission to do the

Editors, reporters, newspaper men of all
classes, are proverbially courteous, gen.
tlemanly and eminently well-intentioned
toward all. and especially toward the
ladies'" Let the ladies wear what they
please then, and when they please, and
how they please let them perambulate
the streets with painter or without one;
let them wear bonnets or not, for am
confident that we will be Endorsed by all
the "persecuting sex, when we pro-

Tar arand annual calico dress ball Of

and sociability reigned supreme. We
would like TO individualize few Of the

it to say, it has never been our fortune to
see a finer one, and the next affair of the
kind that our friend Levy and his amia-

to be there. Upon the whole, we bid the

TIE WAR IN ARKANSAS. Although
the people Of Arkansas should sincerely
desire peace, yet they are not permitted
to enjoy that precious boon for the rea-
son that the blood h0und, Clayton, has
not yet capped his hi of blood, nor sstis-
fed his rapacious desires for other peo-
Plies property. Augusta, the place Of
atrocities, will no doubt become noted
as the Golgotha of Arkansas, where some
of her best citizens have already fallen
beneath the heel of this despotism.
Arouse yourselves, men Of Arkansas,
and shake off the bloody grasp Of the
tyrant, and if it again involves your
State in war with all the powers Of
earth, 'twould be- better to die than to
live as slaves to the grinding power of
Clayton and bis minions. We have had
war until our desires are fully satisfied,
yet we are ready still to take up the
Ratchet to preserve the little that is left
of our lives. Be assured that you will
have the aid and sympathy of Tennes-
seeans in your dark hours struggle for
existence. Gov. Clayton must be taught
that we have somewhat the spirit of
olden times left in our hearts, and that he
must administer the government Of the
State upon republican principles or make
preparation for war of determination.
Our latest information is to the effect
that small engagement took place be-
tween the citizens of Arkansas, ten in
number, and about thirty of Governor
Clayton's militia, some eight miles from
Augusta, and that the militia were COM
PEELED 10 retreat to the main body, at the
town of Augusta, leaving four of their
number dead.
