mand of Tyler's famous old Brigade.
His views are worthy of consideration;
The day is coming when the railway
system Of the South must be directed
from one source. New York is the great
com mercial center Of this continent, and
has two natural outlets, one leading
through the West to the Pacific, and the
other leading through the South TO the
same point. The Western line is nearly
completed, and will soon join ocean TO
ocean. The Southern line has scarcely
crossed the Mississippi. What we want
in the South is to concentrate our efforts
in one great head to manage this system
not with view to impede the greatWesf,
but to develop our section OF country,
and thereby become more prosperous and
united as a system, and more powerful
as q nation. AS an earnest advocate OF
Southern interest and developments,
would urge the railroads of the South to
concentrate their efforts in establishing
first-class passenger and freight route
from New York to the South. Virginia
is the great gateway, and her roads are
the key 10 the position. The Old
Dominion" gave us Washington, Lee
and a jackson, and may she not furnish
us a railroad leader 10 General Malone,
that may some day develop into sort OF
Vanderbilt of the South2 General Ma
hone has already shown himself to be q
man of the first order of military and
railroad ability. As / have before
said, he holds the key to the situ-
alton. 1t is to the material interest
of Nashville that we should have two
thoroughly organized routes from here
to New York, for two reasons. The tirst
is. one line will be check on the other,
and o second is, it will make freight
cheaper. One merchant told me three
years ago bis freight bills amounted to
len thousand dollars per annum, and
that he wss doing the same business now,
and they you'd not amount to more than
five or six thousand for the same time.
Then throwing away Southern sympathy
and dealing with facts and figures alone,
is it not plain to every one that it is to
their material interest to help US build
up the Southern line 2 After the I'd day
of MAY this route will have faster
schedule from New York than any other
line-the time will be six days and o
half. The business has greatly increased
this spring. i
Many Of the leading merchants and
most Of the wealthy citizens of Nashville,
and farmers all along the line, gave their
money more than twenty years ago to
build the Chattanooga link TO the great
railway outlet to the South and East, and
but for the iadomitsble energy of Colonel
v. K. Stevenson, Nashville aud Middle
Tennessee to-day might be henmed in
with no natural outlet to the South and
the East. Then is it not clear to every
thinking mind that this line should be
fostered and encouraged by every one
whose interest is identified with the future
development of our State and capital? l

sons, but deem what have said to be
sufficient, and if the people will only

The AbominatiOns of the United
states Mail Service I'm Arkansas.


We approach the subject of the mails
with uuexampled patience when we speak
Of them at all. Fifty thousand dollars
and more of the peoples money are paid
out to get q mail to Little Rock, one OF
the most important centers in the West,
and the result is one mail week. A mail
on Saturday and O mail on Monday
amounts to little more than one We
have given the subject some investigation
and can say that we do not believe that
the postmsaters at the principal points
or the mail agents are at fault The
blame rests upon the contractors, the
department, and in some important in
stances upon the restrictions OPERATED
by the iron-clsd oath required of post
masters and mail carriers. The agents
say that until the ironrclsd is modified it
is impossible 10 obtain for positions as
postmsstsrs, mail riders and drivers com.
petept and worthy persons for these
positions.

months in year when careful and en-
ergetic snipe could pass over that road
with light mail. Were the SIS, 900, de-
voted to this sham contract and swindle
on the Government and the people, ap-
propriated to the White river route, the
river contractors say they could afford
the State capital, aud thence the other
parts Of the State, a regular and full tri-

expensive contract of daily mail over
the road sig times week from here TO

at twenty-five or even thirty cents, when
we have all these things TO purchase.
Cheap and abundant food is essential to
success in cotton planting.
We would not discourage, but rather
encourage the growth of cotton in the
South. Owing to the value 10 proportion
to its bulk il is the best article we can
have for export except tobacco. But
considering the difficulty and expense Of
cultivating IL and its great uncertainty,
we would recommend that it be planted
in small quantities in highly MANFRED
land. In this way the crop will be more
certain, more easily saved and more re-
munerative. The experience of the last
three years ought to have satisfiedus that
an extensive area planted in cotton had
a tendency to decrease rather than in
crease the quantity of cotton, as well as
to iRjure its quality, and to bring ruin
rather than prosperity to the planter.
This, to many, may appear Quixotic,
but to us it seems plain and practicable.
The whole world demands cotton, and
the South is the great cotton producing
region. Now, let the people of the South
so arrange and manage their agriculture
andmanufactures that all the cotton made
by them will be clear gain; or, in other
words, so much permanent capital added
to the South.
If we should raise our own supplies
aud manufacture our own clothing, what
would be the result? Every year $780,
900, 900 would be added to the capital of
the South, and this, in ten years, would
amount to one billion of dollars from the
proceeds of cotton alone, to say nothing
of what would be made by manufactur-
ing and mining. Under the system we
have been practicing for few years
will grow poorer, but under the system
we suggest, we will increase in wealth,
and happiness.

Agricultural Address.

The address of the Shelby County
Agricultural Society, issued some time
since, is attracting considerable atten-
ton in the South. The Mobile (Ala.)
Register says: "We find in that excel
lent journal, the Dirie Farmer, the
address of the Shelby County Agricul-
tural Society, which sbounds with whole
some advice aud sound views" We
extract from it the closing remarks, and
recommend them to our readersg
Some think the cause Of the greater
prosperity Of the farmers this year than
last is owing to the high price Of cotton.
This we think is a mistake, as we will
proceed TO show. Ia 1866 cotton was
higher than it has been this season, aud
yet it was very disastrous year to
cotton planters, because they had neg
lected to raise sufficient corn and meat
to serve their plantations during the
coming year, and on that account had 70
buy their necessary supplies at enor-
nous prices. This was not the case last
year. The success Of the farmers was
more owing 10 their having raised during
the preceding year enough or nearly
enough to supply their wants than to
anything else. We can better afford 10
raise cotton at fifteen cents per pound,
when we raise our provisions, our own
horses aud mules, than we can 10 raise il

We have ever, and are still (were it
possible to be) in favor of Repub-

honest men who once conducted public
affairs in this country have all died OIL,
and corrupt and venal politicians now
usurp the reins of power. There can be

meet the issue boldly. five can find out
the remedy for the present disease of the
body polite, we should not hesitate for
moment to make the application.
But line as to the letter published by
the Avalanche this morning, taken from
the New York Imperialst Although we
regret not the expression Of word or an
idea contained in that communication,
yet we are bound to say, in justice to the
friend who signed the communication

of the Imperialist for the reason therein
set forth. If he saw ct to publish the same,
we care not for it. but only regard the mat
ter as betrayal Of private trust imposed.
Now to the last point, and we close
For the satisfaction of our mutual friends
will the Aralanche intern us whether or
not it would prefer Imperialism to the
negro despotism of the present State
government We would like to know If
universal suffrage or negro rule, which
means the same, is fixed fact; whether
it would not be bettefto have a respect
able form of government-call it by
whatever name you choose-rather than
live under the present despotism, called
Democracy Then again, right here,
we would remark that Imperialism does
not mean >absolutism. 1t may take any
form that the people put upon it.
Although it is terrible hobgoblin, that
frights the soul of a csrpet-bagger, yet
with its dawn upon this country such
men must seek place to hide their
shame and disgrace from the presence of
a resurrected people. That this new
form of government may be established
without bloodshed is possible but we
would prefer that the new goddess that
shall preside over the destinies of the
empire should be baptized with blood.
We want q new and correct test for
future loyalty, and such can only be
given on the battlefield. Will the car

We would suppose not. But should he,
why let him, with others, have a just d.

suffrage, and asks us our remedy. We
reply in a single word: Imperialism.
