y WORKING xND THINKING.--It is no less
fatal error 10 despise labor when regulated
by intellect, than to xalue it for its own
sake. /We are always in these days trying
to sep arate the two. We want one man to
be- always thinking, and another to be
always working; and we call one a gentle
the workman ought often to be thinking,
and the thinker often to be working, and
both should be gentlemen in the best sense.
Ash AZ # is we make both ungcntle, the one
envying and the other despisins his his
brother; and the mass OF society Is MADE
ers. Now, it is only by labor that thought
can be made healthy, and only by thought
That labor can be made happy; and the
professions should be made liberal, and
1 there should be less pride felt in peculiar
ity of employment, and more in excellence
of achievement.

The Southern Pacific Railroad.

Al n called meeting of the Louis
vile Board Of Trade, held on the
10Th utl., the following preamblcand
resolutions were unanimously adop.
ted:
Resolved, BY the louisville Board
ofTradc, that
WHEREAS, Tho commercial inter
csts of the whole country demand
speedy, uninterrupted, and reliable
railroad communication between the
Pacific coast and the Mississippi Val.
ley by more than one route, in or.
der to avoid the dangers Of monopo
~ and the anticipated delays and
detcntions from snow and ice upon
the Union Pacific railroad, which
may even, in the opinion Of many
competent engineers, cause q total
stoppagc during the winter months,
and.
WHEREAS, The parallel Of 80 de.
grecs offers n route across the state
of Teas, through Arizona, to San
Diego, on the Pacific, which is at all
seasons of the year free from STOW,
also shorter in distance, and devoid
of engineering difficulties, besides
furnishing to the Southern States of
the Union facilities for trans CONT
mental intercourse such us n more
Northern route cannot afford; and
WHEREAS, The said road if built,
will induce the settlement of the
magnificent country in Northern
Texas, thereby relieving the Federal
government from the heavy expense
of guarding the frontier lines with
the large bodies of tro ops now sta
toned there, and effect a great say,
ing in the expense of supplying the
military posts in Arizona and New
Mexico, besides developing the vast
mineral resources OF those territories,
and opening greatly required com
munication with the northern por-
ton Of Mexico; and.
WHEREAS, The South in it's pre-.
sent disorganized condition, can
command from no other source the
capital requisite to construct this
road, and believing, as we do, that
in extending to it aid and assistance
the Federal government will DO pur-
suing a course of wise economy;
therefore, be it.
Resolved, That the interests and
prosperity of tho whole Union de-
mand that the Congress of the Uni
ted States shall assist, by the loan
Of its credit, the line of road from
Shreveport, La, extending west
wardl y. to the Pacific at San Diego.
in the same manner in which it
has heretofore aided the Union
Pacific Railroad.
Resolved, That copy of this re-
solution be sent to the Secretary of
the National Board of Trade for ac-
ton by the executive council there
of. and that he also furnish copies
to the different boards of trade
throughout tho country, inviting
their cooperation in effecting this
object.

E6r We make the following extract from
the letter from this place, TO the Galveston
Christian Advocate, by its Editor, Rev,
I. G. John:
The territory occupied by the
Trinity Conference embraces large
portion of that immense body OF
land which many people think is
the garden spot Of Texas. Ifrict-
and tho traveller sometimes thinks
intcrminable prairies, rolling up in
to landscapes of surf assing tcauty,
with no drawbacks but the absence
Of timber and water, which the we'll
diggcr's spade, and the wagoner's
team can supply, will constitute II
region II garden spot-the claim is
Il just one 1t is well that people
differ in their tastes, otherwise all
might crowd into one locality. AT
present this part of the world is not
crowded very much. The popula-
ofone or two very respectable States
might be implied into the bounds
Of the. Trinity Conference and a
considerable amount of elbow room
would DO left.
Dallas is u beautiful town, num-
boring about 1000 inhabitants,
situated on the East bank of tho
Trinity River. The soil in the i'm
mediate vicinity is sandy, making
it more agreeable in wet weather
than the black soil of the surround.
country. Movements have been
mt on foot by it's enterprisinc citi-
lens to open the Trinity Rrivcr to
this point. 1t is believed that with
proper improvements, it will be
navirablc for six months in the
year Among other nrojects, it is
nroposed to turn the west fork of
Red River into the Trinity, which,
il il estimated. would swell the vol.
ume of water to su h q depth that
light draught steamers could conc
TO Dallas during at least one half
the season. Many sensible men
think the plan feasible. In these
DAYS of enterprise. thoughtful PEG.
ME never condemn any project un-

amined Railroads, however, are
the more certain dependence, and
