DIre.t Trade with Memphis.

The great Importance Of the Misss-
sippi River railroad, now successfully
placed under contract by its President,
Mr.. Mitchell, is every day becoming more
clearly apparent. The following editorial
from the Trenton (Tenu.) Gazette, Of
last Saturday, shows that one Of the very
richest districts Of Gibson county, as well
as the aourishing town of Trenton, are
determined TO have direct road to Mem
phis by the Mississippi river. The for
wardness of this project will be most
agreeable surprise to oar people. As
usual, however, Mr. Mitchell does his
working before he does his talking. The
city of Memphis will respond most lib
orally, with material aid to the efforts Of
Trenton and Gibson county for direct
communication with this metropolis:
DIRECT TRADE WITH MEMPHIS. -Some
months ago we called the attention of the
citizens along the line to the importance
of railroad from this place, via Eaton
and Friendship, to Yellow Bluff, on the
south fork of the Forked Deer river, a
few miles below Chestnut Bluff Here
the Mississippi river railroad crosses the
Forked Deer, and it is proposed to tap it
here with branch from this place. This
branch will be about twenty-three
miles long with easy grades; the coun,
try through which it ia proposed
to LOCATE the road being compare
lively leyel. We are grati6ed to
learn that the whole people on the pro-
posed route are aroused TO q sense of its
advantages, and will subscribe the stock
to grade the road and put the wooded
superstructure upon it. They have
already subscribed the amount sufficient
to survey the road, and Colonel A. S.
Mitchell, the efficient President of the
Mississippi River railroad will soon have
a corps of engineers upon it, and lopate
it to this place. State aid to purchase
the iron has already been secured, and
the tax voted by Dyer county would be
equitably divided between this branch
and the main trunk,
Theye is an effort beiag nade 10 build
o rsilroad from Brownsville to New
beFne, Dyer county, but this route could
in no way subserve the interests of the
people of Friendship, as neither one Of
its te,mini affords snii.L,e markets or
outlets for the products of the country.
Memphis is the best cotton market for
these people, and their interest is to
reach that point by the shortest and most
.r,i l. ~ NoI L.
thia branch,
Memphis is now competing with the
great marts of trade for our patronage,
and with road direct from this place
large proportion of our trade would nat
urally seek her as market, for the pur-
chese Of g-oceri2c sad MsnY other kinds
Of Goods She already has large stocks
of goods at wholesale, and does heavy
business with the States south and west
of her.
