THERE are none in Memphis, or its vi
entity, who will not vote for the stock
subscription of half a million to Forests
road, and Marshall county and this city
should act Immediately, and build the
road at once.
LARGE delegations to the Rome Rail
road Convention and barbecue have been
appointed by primary meetings in all the
counties except Muscogee, on the line of
the railroad from Selma to Chattanooga,
via Rome, and great enthusiasm is report
cd TO prevail
THE recent census of Gadsden, Ala
bama, shows the population of the town
to be I500. In 1867 Il was not more han
500. This impetus was given it by the
Alabama and Chattanooga railroad, and
prospects Of theaearly completion to that
place from Alfalfa, of the East Alabama
and Cincinnati road.
THE Holly Springs Conservative says
that new life has been awakened in the
citizens of Holly Springs upon the sub
ject of the Memphis, Holly Springs, OkO-
Iona and Selma railroad. Citizens who
vigorously opposed the tax hen the mat
ter was first agitated, are now warmly
enlisted in the interest of the road.
There seems to be now u strong desire to
aid General Forrest in this Important
work.
A EFT from the Mayor of Lagrange,
Georgia. to the President of the Board OF
Trade, saws: a road through this sec
ton from the North to connect Cincin-
natl, Chattanooga to LAGRANGE on TO
Columbus, is a public necessity, and must
be built. All difficulties must vanish
before imperious necessity. Besides, this
is the age of action in which great things
are undertaken and performed In our
Council to-day July It'll we ordered that
our charter be so amended as to allow the
Mayor and Council TO subscribe $500 C0
to any n all roads coming to our city.
l believe we are masters of the situation.
Our hands and purses are with you."
THE Southern Pacific Railroad and APP
-portionment bills are considered dead.
Efforts were made in each case yesterday
to take them up for consideration, but the
required two-thirds vote failed. The
friends of the Pacific road, headed by
General Fremont, were present in force,
and were keenly disappointed at the re-
suit, for the bill had passed the Senate.
These two bills antagonized each other
the Eastern men voting against going to
the business on the Speakers table, for
fear that the AppOrtionment bill would
be taken up and passed by the Southern
and Western members, who are so anx-
ious for increased representation in the
next Congress.
STANTON, the railroad king of Alabama,
has mad trouble, and sometimes his hands
become dissatisfied and leave in large
squads-once as many as 800. But such
trouble, which would parslyze any other
railroad builder, does not disturb Mr..
Stanton. He looks about for other labor
ers, and he secures them. The Chinese
are offered TO him, and, needing them to
do his work, he accepts them. The peo-
pie through whose county the road is be-
ing built are glad that he has lone so.
MIR. Stanton is determined to comply with
his contract, having promised the State
to complete the rOa in 1871, and he is
going to do it. He employs Chinese la
borers on his road, acknowledged to be
the best in the world. The Mat makes a
great cutlery about the Radicals introduce
ing coolies into our country. We can in
form it that the people of this country
are not frightened at pigtails. The MaiL,
and the people of Montgomery, might
learn a lesson or two on railroad building
from Nj. J. c. Stanton.
