THE POPLAR STREET TURNPIKE.

We would call attention to this most
important enterprise, the work upon
which was begun under most auspicious
circumstances, last week: and Mr.. II. A.
Montgomery, the most efficient Sunerin-
tendent, Is pushing il forward with his
wonted energy. The grading has been
completed, and is ready for stone and
gravel for an half mile or more beyond
the city limits. The names connected
with this work should inspire confidence
in its success. The President is W. T.
Avery; Secretary and Treasurer, j. Cum
mings Johnson; Superintendent, II. A.
Montgomery. HI Directory is composed
of W. T.. Avery, J. Cummings johnson,
II. A. Montgomery, +. W. ROyster, John
Steele, George c. Holmes and n. NJ. Trez-
evant.
Our advertising columns show that a
call has been made for 80 per cent. of the
stock subscribed, one-third LIST May, one
third 10th May, one-third LIST June. We
are informed this mount is actually
needed. Let then a punctual response be
made to this call. But more than this, a
larger subscription is essential TO the
completion Of this work. It is needless to
impress upon our people its great impor-
ance- Nothing Is more needed by Mem
phis than good roads. 1t is proposed by
the public spirited gentlemen engaged in
this enterprise, TO make Il not only a
6rst-class road, but a most beautiful and
attractive drive for miles out of the city.
Every citizen interested in the welfare Of
Memphis, should encourage 10 with a lib
eral subscription. 1t is the only effort on
foot to build up a good rosd.

to ship it 70 Boston by railroad.
The remedy suggested Is regular lines o.
boats, and less expensive boats for freight
Ing purposes. Too much Is spent on OF I
steamers for useless ornsmentati0D. A
boat costing $4,000 may rave a capacity
for business equal to another that VIII
cost S65, 900. The farmer must pay fifty
per cent. more for his freights on the
one than OF the other. The wages paid
for service IN boats are too high. There
Is no reason for paying pilots from $500 to
$500 per month, and deck hands from $50
TO $50 per month"
In reference to boats which advertise .
leave at a certain time and don't do il
the Evansville Courier says: "In Evans-
vile we have a different way of doing
things. II a boat does not leave on the
day she is advertised, the shipper goes
down to the wharf and demands his
goods and at ono reships his goods on
another boat. A boat cannot lay az the
Evansville wharf two or three days tor a
load; and II she does not go when adver-
tised once, she never need come back
here for freight. No Pittsburg tricks al
lowed at this landing"
The North arkansas Times, of Bates
vile, says: "The Argos arrived from be-
low on Monday morning, with q heavy
freight for this point and above. She
backed Out the same day for Buffalo City,
and returned on Friday morning."
The st. Louis Times says: "The RepHb-
IiedR has employed a new river reporter.
The one who attempted TO take charge Of
that department a few days since proved
a total failure, and the managing editor
took the advice OF the Times aud dis
charged him. They have certainly made
a change for the better. They have now
engaged the services of Mr.. j. A. Dacus,
a Baptist preacher, from Tennessee, who,
we are informed, is a very clever gentle
man, and although preaching is his
main gait he is not 4 man to sit down
and twirl his thumbs when that bust
ness Is dull, and has had considerable ex-
perience as a newspaper writer. We have
high hopes that he will eueceed well in
his new vocation. One thing Is certain.
he eannot get up a Morse river column

the past few days"
The New Orleans PicdyHne says of the
Bart Able: "This fine steamer, we learn.

Movement on Foot to Put a Monument Over
His Grave.
Address from the Surviving Members Of
His staff.

1t is put a day or two since the people of
Memphis followed in solemn procession
he remain of General Pat. Cleburne as
they passed through our city on their Wav
to a final resting place in Helena, where the
patriotic women of Phillips county have
determined to bury them and erect over
them a monument betting the noble dead.
We now have the pleasure of noting that
a similar movement is being made In re-
gard to the grave of that glorious patriot
and warrior, " StoneWall" Jackson, as
the following circular, which we have re-
oeived by mail, will testify.
1t Is addressed to the officers and sol
diers of the Second CO4ps of the Army of
Northern Virginia, to all their comrades
in arms throughout the country, and to
the friends and adj rers of the great de-
ceased, and is sigI by R. l.. .Dabney,

the staff OF Gen. T. J. Jackson.
1t reads as follows:
at is generally known that o after
the death of General Jackson the Stone
wall Brigade obtained from Mrs. Jackson
the privilege of erecting a
over his remains. The amount raised
was lost in 1865, and the sad reVerses in
our Southern country have prevented the
completion of their patriotic and loving
purpose. Seven years have past since
u General fell, and we now ask You to
unite with us in a suitable memorial of
love and respect; one that more than all
others meets with the cordial appreciation
of Mrs. Jackson. Every State in the
South was represented at different times
in his army corps. Let organizations be
at once formed in every vicinity. and the
funds contributed be RENTED to either
of the undersigned, who w~illdeposit them
at the banking house of r. II. Maury Il
Co, Richmond, Va, until a sufficient
mount is collected"
No agent has as yet been appointed to
collect funds in this region, but we take
the liberty of statina that any subscrip-
lions which may be left with Colonel
John Dawson, Secretary of the Confeder-
ate Relief and Historical Association. will
be promptly forwarded 70 the banking
house of the general fund.
Weurge upon the peoplet TO come forward
and contribute to the noble-nay, almost
holy cause, and We hope hat the clergy
ladies will be Jealous in soliciting
subscriptions.
