n ROBERT II y

We commend to the perusal of the
Radical editor of the st. Louis Demo
cr0t the following extract from the
seventh number Of the Lmperjdlist,
written by the Radical editor of that
sheet, who seems TO have something
like a sensible estimate of the great
soldier, and to have little spueamish-
ness IN expressing it. This is the best
thing we have yet read in the imperi-
al loyal7league organ:
The great crises of the worlds progress
are sure to bring forward great central
characters, men of exceptional power and
genius, round whom not onlv mon hut
events naturally group Themselves. such
an one, beyond all doubt, isthe man whose
name we have placed at the head of this
article. Whatever differences of opinion
may exist as TO the nature of the moral
responsibility which be assumed In ac-
eeptlng the command of the armies of the
C~onfederacy, it is hardly to be presumed.
that many men, even at the North. are
still so blinded by the bitter feelings on
gendered n the great conflict that thew
fail to discern n acknowledge the re-
markable ability of the chieftain whose
single name and individual force SO lone
sustained a sinking cause. Hardly in the
gathering clouds of the closing scenes Of
his military career is the strength and di0-
nifty Of Gen. Lees character obseured
Even Q who fought against him. and
We were among them, cannot Withhold
rom hlm a certain amount Of respectful
admiration.

THE DRY DOCKS

We are happy to learn that arrange
ments for the permanent establish
ment Of dry docks at Memphis have
at last been effected, and that next
week VIII see them moored at the foot
of Jefferson street. This viii be worth
not less than half a million a year to
US, and is, we hope, but the promise
OF other mechanical enterprises to
come. We trust that our steamboat
mel and merchants will make it their
business to do what they can to en-
courage this enterprise and insure
most ample returns to the owners.
Let US have a cotton factory next.

Memphis, May 25, 1863.
Editors Memphis appeal: Knowing
your disposition to promote the well
being and the health of the people Of
Memphis, / am embolden to calf your
attention to a subject that is sure to
become a serious affair IL not attended
to in time.
A shed has been built up against fhe
rear wall (west side) oft.he new conn
ty Jail. Attached toor Connected with
this shed is an enclosed lot, used as a
hog-pen, tits said, by some Jail con-
tractor. Now, sirs, already at this
cool season, passers by can hardly
stand the stencil filing the air from
this hog pen. Manypoor families are
living al round in the Immediate
neighborhood, and are suffering much
from the bad smell. Fhe many men
working at the different saw mills
near by wiz be affected by Ii: the
prisoners in the iail must be affected
by it; and ifany sickness or epidemic
should be engendered bytit the danger
would not be confnedt cI that locality.
aTfs surprising that the city author
tiles could overlook this dangerous
nuisance, especially as II stands on

burban Lots, 5 to 20 acres each, situated or
the Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad, about
four miles south of Memphis, on Nonconnah
Heights. Invite, from such as wish TO buy,
a particular inspection of these beautiful
lands, which viii be found to possess in ar
eminent degree the attractions of picturesque
grounds, fine soil, noble forest trees and pure
water from never falling springs. Half hours
time will suffice to reach the property from
Court square by the daily trains OF the road,
which pass to and from the city at short in
teryals, giving free access to the business, the
upon the land viii yield one hundred dollars
clear profit TO the acre.
l viii also offer at public sale on THURS

GERS, northeast corner of Main and Jefferson
streets, 800 acres, in tracts of 50 to 100 acres, on

ash and walnut and other forest growth

cessible at all seasons by steamboats,. A

city property. Butehers' slaughter
houses are not allowed to be in the
city; yet this hog-pen is much more
offensive, and more dangerous to
health, than all the slaughter-houses
in Memphis. All the trash, filth and
refuse from the Jail are thrown out
there to rot In the sun, if not con-
stunned by the hogs, thereby filling the
air with pestilenSe.
u have been spoken to frequently OF
late on this subject by people living in
that neighborhood, and / thought my
best plan would be to place the matter
in your hands, knowing that you
would stir somebody up about it.
The shed alluded to furnishes the
best facility for getting into or out of
the jail-yard. Yours respectfully,
PHILO DEMOS.

THE CANDIDATES

\ statement is in circulation to the
effect that the candidates of the Dem
Ocratic party have not and cannot take
the oath. This is not true. They
have, all of them, filed their candi-
dates oath, and are industriously at
work, doing what is proper for them
to do for the success of the ticket. We
hope the Democratic and Conservative
citizens of Memphis generally will
initiate their example.

When the projected line from At
lanta to Decatur is finished it will put
Memphis less than 700 miles to a great
port upon the Atlantic. Assume that
the thirty second parallel is adopted,
and the connections with Little Rock
and Maxoball will place Memphis on
the north branch, and Nicksburg on
the south branch of what must of ne
eessity, in the future, be the great
pathway of nations across the North
American Continent.
The only link wanting in this direct
road from the Mississippi to the At
laniic, is ITO miles, from Augusta to
Port Royal. Nearly forty-fve miles
of this road is now graded, and ar

mence work upon it. X.

FORT Royal, ). T., the Eastern, and San
Diego, Cal, the Western Terminus of the
Pacific Railroad.
Editors appeal: The line above in
Dictated furnishes the most direct and
feasible route across the North Amer
lean continent. 1t is located Just
above the 32d degree of north latitude.
1t has a splendid harbor at either end,
and passes below the region of the
snow belt, and can be traYersed at all
seasons of the year. We propose to
state facts connected with this route
that will stand the test of investiga-
ton, which will satisfy every I'M
prejudiced mind that this is to be the
line from ocean to ocean. First, as to
capacity of harbOr, Port Royal COM
pares with New York. Both have a
depth of twenty-seven feet at high
water, which depth is not attained BY
either Norfolk or Brunswick, the for
mer having but twenty-five and the.
latter twenty-four feet ar high water.
The harbor of Port Royal during the
late war was occupied by the largest
class of ships-Of-war and merchant
men, and was exceeded in tonnage
alone by New York. This fact in
itself establishes the capacity of this
great Southern harbor- The harbor
of San Diego, on the Pacific, is deep,
wide and safe.
The next point OF interest is to COM
pare the distance from the Mississippi
to Port Royal, with other Atlantic
ports of like capacity.
