NEW RAILROAD SCHEME.
Thirty Miles shorter to memphis

A new railroad scheme has been sprung
in West Tennessee, and is discussed in the
Memphis papers, in which, if put through,
Nashville is also interested, as it is claimed
that the distance betw en the two cities
will be shortened thirty miles. The pro-
posed new road commences at Memphis
and strikes out nearly due east for Somer-
vile, thence to Centerville and Denmark,
crossing Big Hatchie near Estanaula,
thence to jackson, there connecting with
the Jackson and Huntingdon road, which is
being graded, thence to Nashville, via
Northwestern road, thence connecting
with other roads direct east to Norfolk,
Virginia, making the distance from Mem
phis to Nashville 80 miles shorter than by
any other route, and traversing not only
the center, but the heart of the State
passing through the most feasible country
for building railroads, well timbered and
watered, with but light grading, small
quantity of trestle work, and not rock to
turn, and through the center of the most
fertile and productive lands Of the State
for corn, cotton, small grain, stock of every
description, noted for the intelligence and
refinement Of the citizens.
It is claimed that the Memphis and
Charleston road, after leaving Memphis,
DIVORCES largely to the south, while the
Memphis and Ohio DIVORCES considerably
10 the north, leaving a large country be-
tween the two, dividing the most magnif-
cent country in the world. There will be
q meeting Of all citizens interested in this
road in the town Of Somerville on the first
Monday in September next to organize a
company. etc.

Mrs Eliza MeClung died in Knoxville
on Thursday last. She was the mother of
Mr.. Robert H Gardner and John Marshall,
Esq, of this city. The death of this lady,
says the Knoxville Wing, brings sadness to
the hearts of our people. 1t is true she had
nearly attained the period allotted to hu.
man life, being in her sixty ninth year, yet
age had left undimmed those rich and en-
nobling graces of heart and manners which
ever characterized her long and eminently
useful life. She was the daughter of Calvin
Morgan name honored among the early
pioneers of East Tennessee-and the relic
of Matthew McClung, who died some TWEEN,
ty- five years since, but whose memory is
cherished by our citizens as one who exerted
an important influence in the early and
substantial development of Knoxville. She
was the mother of twelve children, five of
whom survive her.
She was for more than thirty years
among the most active and earnest exemp-
lars of the Christian religion, which she
humbly professed, not only in her daily
life and conversation, but in sustaining the
means of grace and worthy Christian char
tiles, whereby others were made partakers
of the privileges and blessings OF her Re
deemer's kingdom.
Thus one by one Of those who have
built our fair city, says the Wig, are
passing away, leaving heritage more
precious than gold, and more enduring
than brass. She has passed from death
unto life, where are reunions in the para
disc of God, and where there is no more
separation,

Tax on Pork Packers.

A letter has been received at the Bureau
of Internal Revenue asking whether the
manufacturers special tax assessed against
pork packers, etc, will be abated, or
whether the tax already paid will be re-
funded.
Acting Commissioner Douglass replies
that the act approved July, 1870, relieves
pork packers, ETC., from assessment under
section of the act of March 81, 1868, and
from payment of tax already assessed on
sales under that section and not paid. 1t
does not relieve those parties from pay
ment of special tax as manufacturers,
neither does it provide for the refunding Of
taxes already paid, and therefore special
taxes cannot be abated under the act re-
ferred to, nor taxes already paid refunded.

A Long chase for a Th,es

The arrest of Lewis Tucker, charged
with stealing 1870 from Hester Ann Ste

after a long and vigilant chase. He went
from here to Louisville, and thence to

finally to Cairo. Detectives Ryan and

took him at Cairo just as he was leaving
for New Orleans. They succeeded in ar
resting him and bringing him to this city,

One hundred and fifty dollars of the stolen
money was recovered, and it is thought
near four hundred dollars more will be.

Yesterday evening near o'clock little
girl of Mr.. Gaudman who lives on College
street near Line, was crossing College
street when she was run over by the North
Nashville Street Cars and severely hurt.
Her right hand is mashed and the bones
broken almost to shapeless mass. Both
feet are lacerated IN a painful manner.
One of the feet is torn and mashed below
the instep and the other is severely
bruised. The little sufferer was in great
pain last night and will be MANNED for life.
This accident suggests two precautions
that are eminently pertinent One is that
parents should be more careful IN prevent
ing their little children from running in
the crowded streets, and the other, that
drivers of cars should be very cautious as
to how they drive along the thoroughfares.

County school Books.

We learn that a portion of the new books,
to supply the schools of Davidson county
have already arrived and the others are ex-
pected in few days. 1t is gratifying to
the friends of popular education, to know
that the Commissioners of the various
school districts are acting with energy and
promptness, realizing the importance of
the interests In their hands, organizing
schools and taking an increased interest in
everything calculated to make the schools
successful under the new law and the
county regulations. 1t is desirable that
every friend of the public schools in the
county should set in harmony, making all
necessary personal sacrifices for the sue
cess of the schools. Teachers, Commits
aioners, parents and children should all
pull together, and thus advance the public
good.

100000 Involved.

There came up in the 0aahcery Court
yesterday for adjudication heavy and
important railroad suit, in which the
Nashville and Decatur Railroad is involved
to the amount of $500, 1000 The General
Assembly, by an act passed March %,
1860, authorized the Tennessee and Ala
bama Railroad Company to issue coupon
bonds to the amount of $500, 900, matur-
ing in ten years, bearing interest, payable
semi-annually at the rate of ten per cent
per annum, and to secure the bonds by q
mortgage upon the road, its franchises,
income, etc F., subject to the prior lien of
the State. Upon the first day of April,
1860, under this act, the company issued
$205, 900 of bonds. These bonds were
secured by mortgage upon the road, ETC.,
and the trustee was empowered to take
possession of the properly mortgaged up
on failure of the company to meet the III
terest or principal of the bonds.
The bonds matured April /, 1870;
5000, 900 of them remain unpaid The
trustee filed his bill to foreclose the mort
gage to secure possession of the property,
and to have the company injoined from
interfering with him in such possession.
A motion was made to have the trustee
appointed receiver. This motion is re-
sisted upon many grounds, chiefly the fol-
lowing: /. That the act of March %,
1860 is void as being partial 2. The
act was not strictly pursued by the COM
pany. 8. That there was no considera-
ton for the bond. 4. That the road is
| already in the hands of the company under
bond appointed by the Federal courts.
The suit is docketed as Frank Harde.

OF the silk trade at Lyons, France, the
circular of Messrs. Aries, Dufour q Co. re-
port that the outbreak of the war, ''ss
iamentable as unexpected" has nearly
stopped all transactions in the silk markets
at that city. Large orders of goods for
Germany and Paris were withdrawn; but,
on the other hand, in consequence of the
suspension of work in the silk manufac-
tories of Rhenish Prussia and of many dis
tricts of Switzerland, some important pur-
chases have been made for English and
Russian consumption at reductions not ex-
ceeding 10 to Is per cent.
