We opposed this scheme because Ii
was proposed to put into the hands Of this
foreign corporation, VIGOROUSLY In oppo-
sitiOn to the welfare OF Memphis, two
lines that by the exsrtion Of resident
capitalists and business men might be
made TO yield all that was proposed, and
beyond any doubt be controlled In the
interest OF the city. We were unwilling
that the company thtt operates
tbs Mississippi Central RaiIro1d " should
control q Union Depot in Memphis and
two leading lines, between which they
might crush the life out of the Memphis
and Odio, or any other railroad not Of
the association. And this opposition we
expressed candidly, directing our obiee-
tons TO the public, and for their benefit,
and speaking in their behalf, We DID
offer aDy opposition to the "Missis-
sippi River Railroad I" on the contrary,
We recommended 1t, and have done 80
on more than q occasion within the
past two months. And now that Col.
TATE has withdrawn his proposition
from before the Board, for ho confesses
that It was his, and not the proposition
OF the Association, we hope the project
will be pushed by those to whom IL Of
belongs, and hat ere long We will
have the gratifying duty to perform Of
chronicling Its commencement st thls

We invite the att ntion Of our readers

MITCHELL. President Of the Mlssissippi

column. The facts therein contained
will challenge the attention Of our read

MITCHELL shows that his Is g live cor

plshed By Il, and that SO far from being
idle and supine, IL is actually about to
commence the werk OF construction from

It was not the intention Of Mr..
MITCHELL or bis confreres to bring, at
this tine, their railroad prominently be-
fore this public, bat since this has been
done for them by other parties, and its
positive benefits to Memphis have been
heralded and are now admitted by all,
would It not h veil II the Company
pursue the matter further, seek at the
hands Of the county Of Shelby and city
