TIE BOUNDARY LINE.


On the 18th the following important
action was had in the Tennessee Sem
ate on the important question of our
boundary line:
TENNESSEE AND VIRGINIA LINE.
A message was received from the
Governor transmitting commu'iica-
ton from the the Governor of Virgin
ia, inclosing copy of Il joint rcso-u-
ton in relation to the appointment of
commissioners 10 ascertain and define
the boundary lines between Virginia,
Maryland, North Carolina and Ten
nessee. The resolution referred to by
the Governor was passed by the Nir-
glnia Legislature and was approved by
the Governor June ~, 1870. 1t author
lies the Governor of Virginia to apply
to the proper officer of the United
States Government for the assignment
of a competent corps of surveyors to
the duty of ascertaining and locating
the true boundary lines between the
State of Virginia and the States OF
MARYLAND, North Carolina and Ten
uesssee. 1t also iDstructs the Govern
or to appoint two Commissioners on
be to meet, confer and act with such
surveyors, and that copy of the reso-
lutions be transmitted to the Govern
or of each of the other three States for
their concurrence.
The communications and resolutions
were ordered to be spread upon the
journal.
Mr.. Nelson offered n resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of "A special
committee of one OH the part of the
Senate, and on the part of the
House, TO take into consideration the
subject matter of the communications,
and report by bill or otherwise.
The rules were suspended and the
resolution was adodted, and Mr.. Mel
son was appointed on the part of the
Senate. The whole subject matter was
then ordered TO be transmitted to the
other House.

The Engineering Magazine, high authority on
such matters, says -
"we are on the brink of new era in railways
the era of the narrow gauge railway-an era
of renewed activity, when every village, almost
every farmstead may have its railway. and if
such an era be at hand, it is mainly because the
Fairlie engine, by its increased power, by its
adaptation to curves, its economy in rails and
freedom from oscillation, has rendered it possi-
BILE. The new and lighter and cheaper roads
will outvie in usefulness, as il diminished costli
ness, the old broader gauge railways to be
constructed over short rugged lines no more"
If this is reliable, it would seem to indicate
one of the most extraordinary practical revolu-
tions of the age. Fairlie whose name is given
to the above engine, is an English engineer, who
has given the subject thorough consideration,
and demonstrated practically in Wales that rail-
ways of the lightest construction and narrowest
gauge may accomplish the work once deemed
possible only by the heaviest rails, broadest
gauge and heaviest locomotives A three-foot
gauge has been pronounced by British engineers
in India sufficient for the requirements of a
trade which includes the transportation of such
bulky freights as cotton and rice. According to
the London Times, distinguished engineers in
England assert that with Farlic engines they
would manage the heaviest traffic and travel in
the world. In England there is IL short railroad,
fourteen miles in length, of only two feet gauge,
which has proved most profitable to shareholders
and useful to the public. There are other like
roads of two feet six inches gauge. III Belgium
there is a road of three feet four inches; in
India of four feet in Sweden aud Norway sew
eral of three feet six inches on Mt. Gents one
of three feet and now engineers in Europe,
who have given this matter most at,ention prefer
a gauge of feet inches or three feet. Their
common speed, even in the crooked. mountain
regions of Wales and Norway, is ,ai to be from
| fifteen to eighteen and half miles per hour
and their cost at most three-tiftls that of at
ordinary railway. The improved machines EN-
noyed uDon these roads combine liglltnesS, ,grea
| tractile power and perfect evenness of move
ment. and thus obviate the trouble of excessive
| oscillation of locomotives on narrow railways
which originated the necessity for broad gauges

The Duty of CoIored Voters.

MEssRs EDITons:--As much is being said at the
present time about politics, perhaps word or two
to the colored voters will not be out of place.
We hold it to be the duty of every colored voter
at this time, to stand firmly by the Republican
party. 1t is not only matter of duty, but it is
also matter of interest; all that has been done
for the interest of the colored man, most that
has been done for the good of the Nation, has
been done by this party,it therefore becomes the
dnty of every Patriot, of every Philanthropist to
support the Republican party, of the rich as well
as the poor and of the poor as well as the rich,
for its efforts are for the best interests Of all,
and it is strange that all will not perceive it. 1t
is matter of regret that an apparent apathy il
manifested by many of the White Republican
voters. Such action we presume is attributable
to the hue and cry raised by the opposite party
against the colored voters They do not want
the colored votes Jack did not want his supper;
the cases are analogous, but suppose the efforts
of the Democratic party should succeed in keep
ing from the polls a sufficient number of Repub.
lican voters to enable the Democrats to elect
their ticket it matters not whether the effect OF
the opposite party is to keep from the polls White
Republican voters, or to make such vote the
Democratic ticket, the result will be the same in
either case.
| If the tactics of our opponents enable them te
succeed, who is to blame,not the colored voters
Is it not possible if the Witness of the Democrats
enable them to gain power, that they will change
their policy and secure the colored votes to retal
| itY Colored voters close ranks and stand firm
stand by the Republican Flag, suffer it not tt
| trail in the dust, do your duty as citizens of Q
| n great nation and let the responsibility res
where it properly belongs

HOW WE GET THE WAR NEws-TIE OPERATOR AT
HEARTS CONTENT.
From the journal of the Tclegraph.l
The press dispatches from Europe to New
York during the last four weeks numbered about
one hundred thousand words. New York has
been better posted on the issue of the war each
day than London, Paris or Berlin. These dis
patches have nearly all been sent by single ca
BILE, full one-third of the whole to single daily
paper and with marvellous rapidity and accuracy.
Familiar as we are with the work of the tele-
graph, it has been marvel to ,is. 10 hundreds
of thousands of minds the whole work is and has
been deep enigma. Here is man sitting in a
dark room at Hearts Content. The ocean cable
terminates here. A fine wire attached thereto
is made to surround two small cores of soft
iron. AS the electric wave, produced by a few
pieces of copper and zinc at Valentia, passed
through the wires, these cores become magnetic
enough to move the slightest object. look
ingglass half an inch in diameter, is fixed on a
bar of iron one-tenth of an inch square and half
an inch long. On this tiny glass lamp is made
to glare SO that its light is reflected on tablet
noted by the shifting of this reflected light from
side to side. Letter by letter is thus expressed
in this fitting idiom in utter silence on the wall.
There is no record made by the machine except
as the patient watcher calls out to II comrade the
translated flashes as they come, and which he
records. 1t seems miracle of patience. There
is something of awe creeps over us al we see the
evidence OF human touch 1900 miles away
swaying that line of light. BY such a delicate
process as this, and after being repeated from
line to line five times before its ultimate copy
is in New York, have the late great battles been
recorded in our daily papers with great particu-
larity and sent throughout the Union. Nothing
like it has ever before been accomplished The

The French Crown Diamonds.

The telegraph reports that the statement
that the Empress carried of the crown diamonds
is refuted by the French Government organs.
What these crown diamonds are was told in the
:" Monthly Gossip of Lippincoh's Magazine for
last September. The writer gave an account of
gala night at the grand Opera, August 18th,
1864.
..The Imperial party arrived and tho diamonds
of the duchesses paled before the splendor of
the crown Jewels like stars at sunrise. The
Empress looked blaze of light. She had driven
in from Compeigne in a carriage open at the
sides, with lamp suspended from the top, that
the populace might feast their eyes on her mag
nifcence Upon her head there nrched in
graceful curves an antique diadem, at whose
summit the peerless Regent diamond flashed
like sun. Her corsage of lustreess scarlet silk
was edged with row of large diamonds set in
black enamel, from each of which hung two
gems of smaller size. What pity that the
sultanas of Haroun al Raschid could not have
seen her then! They woald have paled with
envy certainly. The Imperial necklace
was similar in shape to those Of the Princess
Metternich and the Duchesse de Morny, but OF
far finer stones. The earrings were great drops
of solidated light, and the bracelets were single
rows of immense diamonds Think Of that and
weep, o We uncrowned empresses of our Ameri
can hearts and purses"
How different was this triumphant entry from
Compeigne, in blaze of splendor, to the darl
and silent exit of the ex-Empress, "by side
door on the Seine side" only a few evenings
also described as "yery lively and animated
chatting with the King of Spain, using his oper,
glass, and apparently in the best spirits"
Pity he could not have used his opera glass ~
as to see some things that were before him--sa,
six years after that gala night.
