dict yesterday granted stay Of proceed

ammunition wagon, etc., belonging TO
the Cuban Junta, and which Marshal
Dallan was about to sell to satisfy judy
ments recovered by the owner of the iug
boats Charles E. Coole and Mabry.
The amount Of arrears Of penalty, in

Hamburg.
The Tribune says il is expected, on
good grounds, that q Cuban expedition
will leave within few days, either from
this port or Boston. Preparations have
been quietly going on for the last three
weeks. Many Cubans 10 this city believe
that two or three expeditions on a small
scale from Florida we're made as mere
blinds, to divert the attention Of the pub
lie from the direction in which the work
was going on. Marshal Barlow has for
the last two weeks taken extraordinary
precautions against any violation Of the
neutrality law. \

The directors of the Mississippi River
railroad company Thursday awarded the
contract for building their road from
Memphis to CoviDgton-a distance OF
thirty elk aud half miles--to Messrs.
Saulpan & Co, for the snm of $4,000
Thisincludes clearing, grubbing, grading,
piling, trestling, bri lying aud cross.t;es;
in fact. the entire preparation OF the
road-bed for the iron rails The work is
to begin early in September, and is to be
completed in eighteen months. Messrs.
Saulpan& Co comprise one Of the strong
est companies Of contractors that have at
any time been organized in the South. Ii
:s composed of G. W. Saulpau, James q.
Alien and George P Gates. of Nashville,
Tennessee; Charles Melee, of Knox
vile, and James NJ. Galloway, of Cleve-
land, East Tennessee, and two gen.
tlemen of West Tennessee. Messrs.
McGes and Galloway are capitalists
Of large wealth, and all the other
partners are experienced, energetic,
indomitable railroad builders. 1t is q
company that need not stop work il the
resources OF the railroad are at any time
ersnped or shortened. They could build
the road aud ask their pay only when it
is completed, il it we're necessary. We
congratulate Mr.. Mitchell and the citi
zens Of Memphis On this crowning act oil
his administration Of the affairs Of this
road. We shall soon be living a new life
in Memphis, Infused by the example oil
successful enterprise which be has set in
oar midst, and stimulated by the intro
dIctiou Of labor and large means in thu

~ the friendship which the Avalanche
has thrust upon you; it has given you
more nnwelcome notoriety than dozen

nounces Teoktilla ! for attacking pri'
waite citizens through hate This is
ticklish ground for the Avalanche to
tread upon, for if there is paper, more
than any other in Tennessee, not to go
farther, that has INDUCED itself in the
luxury of abusing individuals, both pub.
lie and private, at all times, and upon all
occasions, the Avalanche may set up a
claim to that distinction. 1t must be
said, however, that there is streak OF
nobility and generosity, which displays
itself at times, which challenges our ad-
miration, and makes us feel that in truth
and in deed that good may come out OF
Nazareth"
In conclusion, will say in the Ian.
gusge of distinguished gentleman in
our midst, that it is not PLEASANT TO be
in minority" and when a private and
obscure individual comes into conflict
with the editors of powerful daily press,
he feels himself in small minority;
though his cause be just, he is powerless
to sustain himself. TEoKrILLA.

EDITORS LEDGER: In your paper Of
yesterday appeared the following para
graph:
"Tbe Directors of the Mississippi River
railroad met yesterday, and disagreed in
regard to the route to be taken. A new
route. further from the Memphis and
Ohio railroad than the first one, has been
surveyed, but the Directors ignore it, and
there is prospect that they will be en-
Joined from using the bonds issued by the
county"
Permit me to assure you that there is
not ore word of truth in the material al
legations of this article. Notwithstand-
ing the important and often perplexing
duties imposed on set Of gentlemen who
undertake to build great railroad, there
has never been division even on any
question we have hitherto been called
on to decide. Every vote of the Board
on every question, from first to last, has
been unanimous. / doubt u the like can
be said of any Board Of Directors that
ever existed in Memphis. n
1t is equally untrue that our Board of
Directors ignored any route for their
road that was proposed for their consid-

that We had rejected the shortest route
and adopted one "three miles longer"
The route locatpi BY our Chief Engineer,

exceeds an air line in length by only one
hundred and ifty-seyeu yards So abort
and straight lipe for the distance
traversed cannot be equalled in Tonnes
see, il in the whole South. a
The only route proposed to our Board
in competition with the air line of our
Engineer was partially surveyed one
which, within the first four or five miles
of Memphis, diyerged t,co miles west Of
the air line OF course such line must
lose distance in working back to the air
line, and can never compete in distance
with Captain MillinGton's location. Bat

not "ignore it, but adopted q resolu-
tios requesting the gentlemen proposing
this ether line to have their survey COM
