the more irritating because, Of all States

Raw Hand at The bellows.

An excellent gentleman, +" A. b. c.,
who writes for a morning paper, in seek
ing to place Colonel Tate in an awkward
dilemma, involves the paper for which
be writes, with those who oppose the
contract with West aHd Tate, in iuextri-
cable difficulties. "a. B. c." quotes
the tabular statement which appeared in
the LEDGER of yesterday, and asserts
that If they" Tate and West) "could
do that" (build a road to Paducah from
Jackson, Tennessee,) 1T they would truly
take all the Southern travel from as far
East as New York, and from as far West
as st. Lonis, down the Mississippi Cen
trail, and make it the greatest thorough
fare in the South"
That is unmixed truth, and we thank
"a. B. c." for it. He should have
added that the facts be states renders the
construction of the Memphis and Padu-
cab road BY Colonel Mitchell simply
impossible. No capitalist will invest
money in work which the lessees OF the
Mississippi Central may render almost
yalueless, as an investment, by building
seventy miles of road. We hope "A.
B. c." will write often. He understands
the practical working of railway lines,
aud only forgets. in bis haste to assail
Col. Tate, that be has knocked over all
his own adherents.
As to Col. Tsies motives in this matter
it is not our province to speak. We have
nothing to do with his private relations
TO McCombs or Edgar Thompson. Of the
Pennsylvania Central, by whom he is
said 10 be employed. "a. B. c." would
have US believe that Colonel Tate would
beirsy these Eastern capitalists, a sup
position dependent upon facts Of which
The public and "a. b. G" can know
nothing. Tate and his associates may
expect 10 lease the Nashville and North
western and the Mississippi and Ten
uessee roads. In the event these
purposes are accomplished the inter-
ssts Of McCombs and Edgar Thomp-
son, whoever may be Tste's prin-
cipals, will be promoted By the censtruc-
ton and ownership Of the Memphis and
Paducah line. But these inquiries do
not concern the public We have only
TO express our gratitude 10 "a B. c" for
