Sermon in Malone, N. Y.-From the 18th Chapter

MALONE n Y, January 49, 1868.
To the Editors of The Irish Republic.
GENTLEMEN On last Sunday, worthy pastor, Rev Mr..
Sherry treated quite repas in the shape of an exhort
alton against the reading paronzng of newspapers pub

as being perncious faith and morals He made particular

He wound using his influence in favor of the Feeas

but fear he will succeed very well, for really
tired of such literature High time for us you may
reply The bshAmeran has the largest circulation here

TIT dangerous for priest to profess Irishsm Such

ance while the English Able McMaster style of clergy
men have all the fat offices. This Sherry is either
man who helped the Freemans Journal in its attempts to
break up this Republic and having failed is embttered
against Fenan newspapers for their loyalty to America or
an Englishman We incline the latter, and set him down
as English Sherry He should therefore, be bored at
and sent across the line He is false to the liberty of
America-else why advocate the Faeemas Journal from the
altar of God and such the good town of Malone is the
wrong place for him. Will friends keep posted on

MISSISSIPPI AND TENNESSEE RAILROAD.
The officers of this road have reduced
the price in passage and freights over
fifteen per cent on the old tariff
rates. This is q move in the right
direction, for. no city can live cheap
" without the farmer having facili-
ties to transport the surplus of his farm
to market without sustaining losses. And
as the agricultural mind is now under
going an entire change, it enables it to
center on the leading articles consumed
by the city. 1t has further tendency OF
enabling the planter to throw aside the
use of his old dirt-road wagon and retain
his teams in the preparation of his soil.
Then comes cheap living, cheap rents,
investments in manufactures and the in :
dustrious mechanic settling down in our
city. Then, instead of despair and the
incessant growing over fate, we will be
lifted up with the merry clinking of the
hammer in the city. Then, too, the
planter, with corn cribs and smoke
houses full, fat bullocks, pigs and chick.
ems in abundance, will be cheered with
the happy and jubilant songs of the hands
on his farm. It will develop numerous
resources now lying dormant, and will
give rise to greater variety of pursuits
so essential to the best interests of Mem
phis and the planters on the line of this
road. The Mississippi and Tennessee
road, like many others, at the close
of tAe war, was in q crippled
state, but through the indefatigable
perseverance Of her old officers, money
was raised and bridges rebuilt, new loco
motives and rolling stock added, and the
old repaired. 1t is now as safe road as
runs out Of Memphis. In this connec
ton we would remind the stockholders
in the road oftheir Indebtedness to Presi-
dent White, Vance and Livermore, for
their uutiring exertions in keeping the
pieces picked up and the rolling stock
together during the late war. In par
tcular we would note the uuhagging exer-
tons of Mr. A. s. Livermore, the Super.
intendeut, who was on the war path
nearly all the time. In moving army
stores or troops, military order
would be issued to take all avail
able rolling-stock, without regard
to what road it belonged, and thus be
scattered on nearly every road in Ala
bAms and Mississippi About the time
Mr.. l. would get his rolling stock to-
ge,her another important military order
would sweep them away again; and so
this state Of affairs continued on until
the close Of the war. Mr.. Livermore
cooned one Of the most valuable locomo-
lives across the YAlobushs river after the
bridge over that stream had been burned

ton that destroyed 50 much ofthe Missis-
sippi Central railroad at Grenada, By 8

ment aud the monde. The popular fiction
Of early attendance or no seat became .
reality at almost the opening, and a ticket
minus the coupon entitled the holder, at
best, to nothing moro than a place In
the aisles. And even these, az the per-
formance progressed, became densely
occupied from prooenium 10 entrance.
We have never seen so large repre-
sentation Of the fairer element OF the
best circles in any assemblage within
our recollection Of Memphis audiences.
So much for the house. The rendition Of
the programme we might, perhaps, SUI
ficiently commend in the bare mention
Of it's worthiness of the ovation It evoked,
aud by which, possibly, il was, in a large
measure, inspired. Foregoing criticism,
which, as applied to efforts of an ANA
teur character, is, perhaps, at bcst, Of
questionable proprieiy. we will content
ourselves with brief mention and harm
less generalities. The performance as q
whole was by several degrees, and, in
many very essential respects, superior to
any to which the lovers Of music in
Memphis have been treated Of late.
Prints, there were no disappoint-
men,s, no parade Of names in print
to be followed by lame apollo
gies. The programme was given,
and more too. The efforts Of
Miss Dinitry were among the gems Of
the evening. and her response to repeat
encores gave her an opportunity of dis
playing her wonderful versatility and
her rare excellence in all her
undertakings. Her voice is one the
equal Of which, in richness, compass
and culture, it has seldom been our priv
ilege to hear, and which, coupled with
her acting and her excellent taste in the
selection of passages best calculated to
display all its most latent powers,
fairly capovated her hearers and won
for her plaudits and floral compliments
the former of which will not soon cease
to sound pleasantly in her ear, or the
latter soon fade in, her memory. An
unexpected pleasure, but none the
less pleasure, was the appearance,
with his sweet instrument, Of Mr..
Henry Farmer, the distinguished young
flutist, who, though absent from the city,
and unannounced, could not allow the
opportunity to pass of contrasting his
assistance to the merited compliment OF
the occasion. Miss Nora Bradford, the
happy beneficiary of the evening, APP
peared frequently in the bills, and was as
frequently called back by enchore upon
enchore. To add aught to the es-
TEEN aud high appreciation in which
she is held socially and profess
sionally, would be utterly beyond our
power. Were aught lacking to assure
her of this, the ovation of last evening,
the sea of approving faces that greeted
her on every hand must supply the de-
fciency. The sweetest of the choristers
Of Memphis, may the delight she has often
afforded others be multiplied to her like
the echo of her sweetest strains that sur.
vive the tones that created them.
