NASHVILLE AND NORTHWEST-
ERIN RAILROAD.
Report OF John A. Gardner.
Election of ofncers and Director.

Pursuant to adjournment, the Stock
holders of the Nashville and Northwestern
Railroad Company met at the Office of the
Nashville Commercial Insurance Company
yesterday morning. I E Glenn was APP
pointed Chairman, and E d Hicks, Esq,
Secretary. d Kingman, J H Nolan and
II l. Claiborne were appointed Commit
tee on Proxies.
The following report from John A Gard
ner, Agent of the road, was read and re-
ceived:
To His Excellency, Hon. D. W. c. Senter, Gov
ernor.of Tennessee:
Sm-In view of the unavoidable delay
that has occurred in the election and ap-
proval of the agent of the State and stock
holders, provided for in the lease of the
Nashville and Northwestern Railroad to
the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
Company, feel it to be my duty, without
waiting for the lapse of time contemplated
in the lease, briefly to report to you the
present state and condition, and the future
prospects of the road, under the manage
ment of the lessees.
Under that provision in the law which
requires the agent ''to be consulted as to
all the expenses, ordinary or extraordina-
~" have no doubt the 1essees have felt
greatly embarrassed in their operations for
want of a duly authorized agent with whom
to consult. They have, nevertheless. with
a commendable iberality and with but
little delay, proceeded to repair the road
bed and structures and rolling stock, and
entered into contracts for section houses,
depot buildings, bridges, cross-ties, cars,
ETC., whereby they have incurred a heavy
liability on account of the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad, all of which con-
tracts, SO far as am capable of judging at
present, were necessary and proper for said
road.
Since the commencement of the pl esent
lease, the lesses have contracted for 400,-
600 cross-ties for the road, so, 600 of which
have been put in thesstrack since January
l last, and the balance are being deliV-
cred at the rate of $4,000 per month on
the line of the road. These ties are of
good quality, being seven inches thick, at
least eight inches face, and eight and a
half feet long, and are furnished at the
very moderate price of thirty-fve cents
each.
There are at this time 1913 laborers at
work on the track, and three bridge car
penters employed in the renewal and re-
pair of structures.
Since the LIST of January last the lessees
have caused to be overhauled in their
shops three of our locomotives, at the fol-

Whether this be true or not, one thing is
certain, that the Mississippi Diarrhea Cor
dial is rapidly making its own way, and
telling its own story. Families of every
condition are keeping it in their homes as
the sole remedy for cholera, cholera NOR
bus, diarrhea and bowel affections, and
none have been disappointed in its effect.
Let us not, then, be thought oficious or
presumptious, if we continue to recon-
mend with friendly earnestness this safe,
certain and reliable remedy, which has
stood the test through many an epidemic
within the last twenty years. Mansfield q

Some few days since we noticed that our
energetic and worthy fellow citizen, James
Wheless ESQ., had accepted the agency
pany, of st. Louis No., for the State of
Tennessee. Since then he has associated
with himself in this agency Prof Thos FL
Hamilton, of this city, whose scholarship,
talents, business tact and fine personal ad-
dress will render him an invaluable access
sion to the agency, and we take great
pleasure in commencing these gentlemen
to our friends and the people of Tennessee.
Prof Hamilton leaves this morning tor
Lebanon. Carthage, Smithville and other
points to present the claims of his agency,
and we are glad to announce that he will
receive subscriptions for the UNION AND

CoNsTANTIA. Dc. IA, 80

CoNsTANTIA, Dec. "A, 1870.
Eds. Gazette Your correspondent
D. w. c. l., from Bellepoint, implies
that Justice has not been fully done tc
the pioneers of Concord township.
He says, ga fez0 zOeelkS Szfce I noticed
in the list of pioneers in this county the
names of fur in this township. Now,
we have older residents and those o1
more advanced age than those publish
ed. Mrs. Beckley has resided in the
county longer than any of those on the
list. Etc, etc. !"
The only list of pioneers of Delaware
county yet published was the names OF
those only in attendance at the Pioneer
Dinner. in Delaware, on the Fourth OF
July last. This list was printed July 8th;
it was not a list BY k0zGUSlEl6S ; 1t did 1fOl
gi75e tie age Of tie Pioneers, and tie
name of Mrs. BeckleY z0GS net ia kzal
list, but those of Sallie. Joshua, Benja-
min, Adam and Stephen Hill, with other
pioneers of Concord, were printed.
1t cannot be that this IS the list re-
-ferred to by your correspondent
In the GAZETTE of Nov. 9Th, ult, was
printed a list of the Ock0geHaazaas oi
Delaware county, in which the names
of Ichabod Cole, aged SO years, Eliza
beth Cole. aged 80 years, Joseph Ho-
man, aged SO years, and Catharine Oh
lar. aged 50 years. were given for Con
cord township. The name of John Cut
Ter, aged 90 years, was unintentionally
omitted.
Now if Bro. Lugenbeel refers to this
list. we would like to have him prove
that Mrs. Beckley has resided in this
county more than ninety years, or that
she is older than any one on this list
This latter roll was compiled from the
Census Returns of 1870.
Steps have been taken, blanks and
circulars printed and lists of all persons
above fifty years old in each township,
copied by the Delaware Pioneer Asso-
citation, with the view of collecting COM
plete lists together with dates and statis-
tics of all pioneers whether living OF
dead, in the county. These papers will
be distributed to the proper committees.
But the work as yet is immature. The
cooperation of your correspondent, and
of all interested parties is earnestly So
lieited in carrying it forward.

THE ATTENTION of our business men
is invited to letter from the Postof7ce
Department and the accompanying sec
tions of the law in reference to the cir
culation Of folded advertising supple
ments in newspapers. From this it
clearly appears to be unlawful to enclose
handbills or advertising circulars, even
though accompanied by reading matter
and marked Su66zs0enf. in any news
paper circulating by Postofflce delivery.
and if such handbiIls are so circulated
it is the duty Of the Postmaster to charge
the packages at letter rates. Every per-
son who violates the law in this particu-
lar is subject to a fine of FIVE dollars for
each ofense.
Our. friends can now see why we have
uniformly declined enclosing advertising
supplements and circulars in our paper
excepting the edition. delivered by the
carrier. We choose not to violate the
aw.
