A large number of the people of Leake

urday, the ID day of April, 1870, to take into
consideration the proposed Railroad, known
as the Ship Island. kosclusko and Tennes-
see Railroad.
On motion, Maj. W, Harry Wood was cal
led to the Chair and ID. G. Beauchamp re-
queSted to act as Secretary.
The chairman then, in glowing and elo-
quent terms, explained the object of the
meeting and the immense advantages of the
construction of the above mentioned Rail
road.
The following preamble and resolutions
were then offered by Col. Reid:
Whereas, y bill is now under cOnsidera-
ton in the Legislature of Mississippi, pro-
posing TO grant a charter to build a Rail
road from Ship Island Harber to the Ten
nessee line, under the name of the Ship Is
land kosciusko and Tennessee Railroad
We therefore resolve and determine:
LIST. That said line of Railroad meets our
most hearty appreciation.
I'd. 1t is tor the best interests of the State
of Mississippi that great seaport city shall
be built at Ship Island Harbor, and the COM
merce OF the State be thus made independ-
ent of the cities of Mobile and New Or
leans.
3D.. The line of the Railroad from Ship Is
land HarbOr should traverse the center OF
the State, and thus become great public

Canton, or Brandon, or jackson, would
dwarf it down, to a mere local road, and de-

it should possess; and such termination
should be deprecated by every public spirit

5th. If the said Bill is passed we do hereby
pledge Leal1e county in the sum of $50 600
in aid of the building of said Road.

WDInna MMnnnanon..
From the Philadelpbia Enot

From the Philadelphia Enquirer.
The Richmond Enquirer, in an able arti-
Gle inviting emigration from the Northern
States of character that will develope the
resources of Virginia, and at the same time
profit itself, conveys the following hint to
'carpet-baggers'
A good Northern man, who is ready to
cooperate earnestly and vigorously with
our society, will find cordial reception ev-
erywhere in Virginia. One who is peering
about to see what he can make out of the
accidents of our position, to improve his in
dividual fortune az the expense of any or all
of our citizens ought to expect distrust.''
The Southern States win find that they
have received almost the last of that portion
of our population with which TREY were
overrun Immediately succeeding the rebel
lion. What the 'carpet-baggers'' wanted
was Office, and in too many Instances they
were gratified; but now that the capital and
labor have begun to flow southwark, they
win be represented by men who mean busi-
ness, and not politics.

Observation-Disclosures

That the Pacific Railroad has already be-
gun to revolutionize traffic, and to change
the route BY which the products of Eastern
Asia have been conveyed to Europe, is pro-
ven by the arrival in this city yesterday OF
twelve car loads of tea, on its way from
China to England. This is the first direct
shipment of tea or anything else from China
to Europe by way of America, and is mere
" the pioneer of mighty trade that will
pass through this city in the future. The
route across the Pacific. across the continent
and across the Atlantic is much shorter thar
the old route around the Cape of Good Hope
or the new route, via the Suez Canal, SO
that if the freight is equal, the difference in
time, as well Is other incidental advantages
will secure the traffic for the Pacific Rail-
road.--St. Louis Republican.

COTTON MANUFACTURE.-A table in the
report of the American Cotton Manufactu-

pounds of last years cotton crop were man

river could run over it. We never saw so
many hills. McGregor and Dubuque. Iowa.,
are nowhere. The river. the railroads. the
canal. are all down the lust under the city
and its fifteen thousand inhabitants white
and black. You go up one hill to 90 down
two. You walk around one little hill to
climb up six. And rocks! And the billy
country around Judea! Shoe, Fly-Lynch-
burg can discount all these, and the young
est son of the Rocky Mountain. Town prop
erty is high in Lynchburg. Except what is
in the ravines. The hills are in all shapes
all siZes-all heights. Great big hills with
castles on top and houses stuck on to the
sides-little hills for the children: It's ali
hill, or up stairs. The houses are like swal-
lows nests in a sand bank-One above anoth-
er. But Lynchburg is healthy place. As
if Il fever or whooping cough could not get
over these hills the same season. 1T baby
is missed-it rolled down hill! In the time
of fire. everything goes down hill to the
Jeemes. a procession moving in Lynch
burg resembles a string Of ants climbing
over humps of sugar in a sugar bowl. We
saw a few chickens, but no geese-for how
can a goose climb up grindstone?
It's but few feet into your neishbor's
window-but haitian hours walk down hill
and up. They don't sell city lots in Lynch
burg-they sell you a hill. Sometimes a
house stands on two hills, with forty yard
deep ravine for the cellar. So handy to
empty ashes, drop cat, or empty Stops
Suspension bridges wanted-inquire at
Lynchburg. They carry goods up by hand,
and let a wagon down by a rope. It's the
most corrugated city we ever saw. The gar
dens hang edgewise, like two shingles COW
cred with molasses to catch flies. There are
lots of little valleys-they look as if emptied
in by mistake, or bad little vallys that had
got lost.
Way down there? That is little creek.
but no one knows how it gets into the
Jeemes Way up there? That is cottage
one story on one side, ten stories in the rear.
Like helping a fat woman with sun-bon-
net to the top of an omnibus And the
echoes The yells of Absolom when caught
by the hair reverberate there yet. One block
of the town rests securely on thirteen hills
and q knob! If anything falls out of the
