We hops tbs Legislature will restore
this railroad to the original and proper
owners, to be dealt with by them as may
seem best for their interests. It's history
in the hands OF q STATE Receiver should
be warning sufficient against its longer
continuance il that condition The Leg
islature. in an evil moment, seized that
road from the stockholders, placed it in
the hands OF a Receiver, 10 whom 9 sub
s.dy of S300,0 900 was granted, 500 005 %
which was perhaps used in the interests
OF the road, the balance, with earnings
Of three months, passing into the pockets
Of INNS, who is now 8 nabob at his
home Ia Atiehigsn-s nabOb from whom
not one sent of this theft can be collected.
Thus crippled and robbed by this inis-
nous seoundrel, the Northwestern road
is before the Legislature again not in
the interests Of the State, CT OF her Gill
zens, but OF a "ring," who seem deter
mined TO cur a plum that they will
know how to enjoy, and which the reai

much as to taste. The present condition
OF that railroad is thu result Of q Lagjs-
latlve combination OF " ring.n What it
may become, should Ii pass iatG the
hands ofthe lobby "ring, "may readily be
OWNED by the efforts of INNS. A little
for the public, and very rauch FOR self
is their motto, and they are bold enough
to declare It. We trust the Legislature
will refuse TO deal with those gentlemen,
turn their backs on sll proposals locking
to q sham sale, turn the Northwestern
and other roads now in the hands OF
State Receivers over 70 the charge and
direction Of their owners, sEd give them
8 chance for their lives, After that, If
they fail to make a gooG account, sell
them, if necessary, but LET tbs stockhold-

THE sOUTHERs RAILROAD AsSOCI-
ALTON Project AGAIs.

We found the following in circulation
10 the city yesterday
PETITION TO TIE BOARD pr EAYOR AND
ALDERMEN.
N. GcnHenen: That mechanics and
Tutoring men Of this city may have en-
ploymenti
l2l. That foreign capital may be ex-
pended in this city and in counties trib-
utsry 10 its trade;
(3l. That the Mississippi Central rail-
road may not seek northern connections
through Louisville rather than Paducah;
(4l That the Mississippi and Tennessee
and MeUaphis and Paducsh roads may
have no c0mpeting line for travel and tTsf-
nc between the Northwest and New Or
leans;
(5). Thgt the road ma be built at
once to PRdCcah and the intervening
district Of country developed
90. Your petitioners ask that the
Board OF MaYor and Aldermen, cooper
aling with President Mitchell, make q
contract with Sam Tate and his ascot
ates by which the completion of the road
10 Paducah within two years may be as
suTed.
Signed by w. y. GreeHlaw, Geo. Dlxsn,
f.. A, Tyler, X. G. BFinkley, r TOpp,
l.. J. Dupre, J.. OYerOn, and $50 others.
!. Ths mechanics and Iaboring men OF
THE city are not likely to be bene dtted to
any appreeia5Ie extent by the undertake
ing. When the work is given out it will
be to the lowest bidder, and as labor can
be hired 10 other quarters at lower rates
than here, the labor, machinery and ev-
erything else necessary will very likely
be brought from abroad by the contract
ors. That much Of the petition, for an
~eleetioueeriBg dodge, is hne-very fine
but viii not, in this case, avail, as we
have little surplus intelligent labor to
whom it will address itself
2. The petitioners aver that they desire
the cooperation Of Mr.. TATE. He is not
a foreign capitalist. Therefore, his CO.
operation will not occasion the expendi-
sure Of foreign capital in our midst. He
said himself that be snd Gen. West
we're the pslfies TO build, and not the
Association" But giving his friends
the utmost stretch, II the Southern
Railroad Association which is said to
be backing Col. TATE, cannot psy the
past due coupons Of the Mississippi Gen.
trail Railroad, as is known to be the case,
how can they introduce foreign capital
and build the m~ueh-coveted Padueah
Railroad?
3. The Mississippi Central Railroad is
now seeking connections with the north
west by Louisville. The connecting
ank betgsen that and the Northwestern

POLICY or THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
RAILROAD COSPANY.

RAILROAD COSPASY.
A most important meeting OF the orig
insl friends and present supporters of
this enterprise, wss held in this city on
the evening OF the 9Th inst, at which we
had the pleasure Of being in attendance.
There were present a msjority Of the
Directors OF the Rosd and others Of the
most prominent and influential citizens
Of each county on the line Of the road
except Lsuierdale. They were gentle
men who truly represent the intelligence,
enterprise and the popular will and pur-
pose Of their respective counties.
A full expression Of views was had
from every gentleman present, and, az
ter several hours OF conference, the entire
meeting came to one harmonious and
positive conclusion, that it is the duty Of
the Mississippi River Railroad Company
to maintain its organization and the pos
session CT its frsBchises, and to adopt
vigorous measures for the prosecution Of
their enterprise that if it is a good thing
for anybody else to have, it is q good
thing for them to keep; that if their
money is to be called for and used in its
construction, they will be entitled to, and
should have, ownership of the road TO
that extent and lastly, that if the mer-
its Of the road are obvious and great,
they are rs capable Of asking aid
to build it IS other parties; and
and on equal terms will share their
property with any capitalists who are
willing to cooperate in the tuilding Of
this great road.
In reply to the insidlous efforts OF inter
ested parties to impair confidence j n the
present organization Of tbs Board by
sttem pting to underrste the services Of
the President and his fitness to conduct
the enterprise, DR.. A. H. KERR, Of Shell
by county, offered the following highly
commendatOry resolutions, which were
warmly seconded by Capt. LATTA, OF
Dyer county, and unanimously adopted (:
ResOlred, That Mr.. A. 5. Mitchell,
President OF the Mississippi River Rail
road, who wss intrustsd with the work
OF reviving d charter Of said road, has
discharged his duty with distinguished
ability, discretion and success, not only
having had all it's franchises restored, but
State aid to G large amount granted.
ReSOlUed. That while engaged in reor-
gsnizing the Company, Mr.. Mitchell
ma done all that the Impoverished con-
diliou OF our people rendered possible, TO
increase the stock subscriptions OF the
road and begin the work OF construction
his lRbOTs in this behalf being now about
TO be crowned with success.
ResOlUed, That We rave undiminished
confidence 10 Mr.. Mitchell as a gentle
man Of worth and sbiiity, and as an ex-
perienced railroad man, aud Ia the sue
cess Of the Mississippi River Railroad
under its present organization aud au-
spices, and hssrtlly commend il to the
people Of Memphis, Of Shelby county,
and of all the counties along the line
thereof, and solicit their active and
friendly aid in building the same, de-
elaring that in our opinion the road,
when built, viii be the greatest thorough
fare in the Mississippi Valley, and the
most profitable to its stockholders.

to the effect that the pilots Of the TWO

&c the recent State Fair at Buffalo thers was
quite q number of mules on exhibition. One
span in particular attracted much attenf1on on
account Of their beauty and activity Consider
fng the many advantages which mules have over
horses for the farm, IS rather surprising that
they are I'd solittle favor with farmers IN this
part Of The State Mulesare not 50 liable to dis
ease as herses and they liveto . much greater
age Instances are recorded of mules living
Fifty wears but this, OF course, is Unusual Their
average age may be set down at least at a third
longer than theIhorss. The hearing Of the mule
is much more acute than OF the horse, and he is
much less likely to sheer off or be- frightened at
the sight or sound Of an object on the roadside.
They are very sure footed, and travel along the
brink of a precipice, where the horse could not
be- induced to go. We could not but admire
this Characteristic of the mule while climbing
the Alps in Switzerland, The mule upon which
we were mounted always seemed to prefer the
very edge Of the precipics.l On account OF their
svre-footeiness they are always preferred by
travellers over mountains and dangerous passes.
Mules are said to endure the heat while labor
ing much better than horses, and az they con-
sumo less fsod, are much haIdier 50 much
less liable to ascdents both Of limb or body than
the horse, it would seem they could be profita-
bly, introduced upon our farms. The question
Of food alone quite an important item in their
favor, for we have no doubt but that a pair OF
mules. doing the same amount of work on the
farm as a pair of horses, could be kept at one
half the expense of feed as the horses, and still
be in good working order all the time ttcd
