A STARTLING RAILSoAD RUMoR.--A re-
port has been in circulation on the streets
for some days past, to the effect that the
Louisville and Nashville railroad COM
pany are negotiating for the lease or pur'
chase of the Memphis and Little Rock
railroad. Taking up the rumor as pos
sibly, if not probably true, morning
contemporary, the Apalanche, very prop
erly says: This company now controls
the Memphis and Louisville railroad, and
the project mentioned could be made to
materially ipjure Memphis by giving
Huntsville a direct connection with Little
Rock, and divsrting to the former city
the trade belonging to Memphis, and to
secure which the building of the road
was commenced. While our merchants
are supinely folding their arms and
our rivals are working TO rob us of our
life-blood, while we allow our Chamber
of Commerce to die for want of support,
the commercial orgauizations'of Louis
| vile. Cincinnati and ST. Louis are in
creasing in power, and pointing out to
capitalists schemes to deprive us OF what
has given Memphis her present position
and on what alone we must depend for
the realisation of our anticipstions.
Another effort viii be made tomorrow
to breathe life into that corpse known as
the Memphis Chamber Of Commerce. II
a corporars guard of the doctors and
nurses be present, it would not be amis'
to look into this new railroad runOE 3

BOLD AND Heavy RoBBERY.-Between
one and two o'clock this morning, as
Captain McMath. accompanied by pa
trolman Orr, was passing down Second
street, on his way to the lower station,
he noticed the door in the rear of the
saloon on the northeast corner Of
Beal and Second standing sjar, and
having his suspicious aroused by
this discovery, he entered the saloon
with view to satisfying themselves as
to whether all was right or not. On
gaining the Inside of the saloon they
woke the proprietors, Messrs. Che
pudewil & Bro, who were asleep
at the time in room to the rear, and by
them we're informed that the door had
been closed and locked before they re-
tired. A search was at once instituted,
audit was very shortly discovered that
the establishment had been visited,
by thieves. Just after the suspension Of
the Gayoso Savings Institution, the
Messrs. G. had drawn their funds out Of
bank, and since, had been in the habit Of
keeping the same in a tin box
under the counter in their So
loon. This box, containing about
$500 in currency, 500 in gold and a
gold and a silver watch we're gone, and all
search forthem about the premises proved
unavailing. The burglars, after securing
their booty, had succeeded in making off
with the same without arousing either of
the occupants of the adjacent room. 2

The MYSTERIOUS DrsAPPEARANcE OF
DR.. HENDERSON alluded last even
ing to the disappearance, from his home
in Coahoma county, Mississippi, of DR..
Alexander Henderson, who, on the I'D
of January last, passed Through this city
en- route for Norfolk, Virginia, and
who is supposed to have met with foul
play--not having been heard of since
that date We should have stated that a
letter had been received by the Doctor 8
family ON the 7th of January last, stating
that he had reached Norfolk in safety,
adjusted his business, and that he would
be at home again in the course OF
ten or twelve days Since this letter,
however no information of his where
abouts has come to hand, and hence the
suspicion that he has been overtaken by
some calamitous fate, The Doctor was
prominent citizen Of the county in
which he resided, and is represented as a
gentleman of fine requirements and a
high order of intellect. He was native
of North Carolina, of which common
wealth his father was one of the early
Governors.
Later.-Since writing the above, and
just as we are going to press, we learn
that a dispatch has been received in this
city, stating that DR.. Henderson is still
alive, and in Norfolk.
