THE TENNESSEE RAILROAD TO BE ARREST.
Ep.-It is known that an immense number OF
coiored people assembled at Liberty on Sunday,
to attend Baptist meeting OF some KIND, ID
session there. Five full ear loads went up from
Lynchburg on a special tram J, and large acces
sions were made to their number at every stop,
ping place and depot between this city and
Liberty. On Monday morning, the meeting
having adjourned, the brethren dispersed
some on foot aud in wagons IN every direction
around the country, and some on the regular
mail train which reached here at halt past
eight, So crowded wai the train with these
returninr delegates, that tha conductor con
Guided he could not collect their fare between
Liberty and Lowry station, and had the tram
stopped till he could finish his rounds, anu
prevent any loss 10 the company from failure u"
reach all the passengers. Whether Intention
ally or otherwise, he stopped the tram on the
Long Bridge over the Ou6r rivera clrcum'
stance that seemed to cause considerable nuttcr
among the fearful Saints" at the TIM,
though when the cars resumed their awli
course. and the bridge wa safely crossed, they
took 'lresh courage anl sad ~ more on the
subject.
But on Monday, . leading man among them
called formally upon Cul lluscr, master OF
TRANSFORMATION, and demanded due cXplana ton
of the matter. lie soid the tram had been
stopped where it endangered the lives OF seq
eral hundred c0lOrcl people; and that he IN
tended to have the railroad arrested on 4 IA
bcas corpus The Colonel ailabIy inquired II 4
number of white people were not also on board.
The brother confessed that there were, but
thought that was 4 small matter,as the number
ot cOlored people was so mact greater. Col.
II. then asked il anybody had been injured i'll
anv way. The delegate replied that 40 one
had been, but great many might nave ocen'
and he thought it had been dcliberately intend
might be all killed ami wounded
At this point in the colloqov, our CORES
pondent retired. We do not know whether
our colorcd friend still designs TO have the rail-
road arrested en- habeas corpus. Most Iikeiy'
no has thought better Of his original purpose
and has concluded not to do so.-Lmch. hlP'

him to take him at his peril, &c. 1t was ne
