THE RAILROAD LEASE.
To the Editors of the Union and American


You give in your paper of Tuesday
notice of the proceedings Of the City
Council, and l notice that they decided
among other things left to be done for
Nashville, one YVES go state, for the in
formation of the County Railroad Com
missioners, that it is the desire of the
people of Nashville that the stock of
Davidson county, shall be voted against
the lease of the Nashville and Decatur
Railroad" Now, it occurs to me that
our City Fathers are a little too fast IN
making this assertion. AS a workiugmsn
and taxpayer /, for one, am becoming
weary of paying my share of the twelve
thousand dollars of interest paid by the
county for the two hundred thousand dol
lars of bonds subscribed to that Company.
We have been paying this tax for fifteen
years at least, and l, for one, am not
willing to have this heavy tax continue
moment longer than it can be thrown off,
as will be the case if this road is leased.
This is serious subject with those of us
who belong to the "working class, and
our County Railroad Commissioners
should look well to it that they do not,
By any act of theirs, faSten this burden
upon us; besides it will be but few
years before these bonds mature aud
must be paid by the county. By the pro-
posed lease the stock will be increased to
go to rs cents to the dollar and perhaps
more; and, if need be, by the sole of the
stock the bonds may be paid off in
whole or in pant. Let our City Fathers
remember that there are other interests
and other people in the city of Nashville
besides the princely merchant, cotton fac
tors and large real estate holders who
alone seem to be exercised about this
lease. We want this Road extended to
the Gulf of Mexico, end if we can't fur
nish the money to accomplish it-end no
one believes we cs1-then let the Louis
vile and Nashville Road do it, and by
this means open up to US the cotton re-
gion of Alabama and Georgia, and at the
same time relieve US from any further
taxation, either for that purpose or the
payment of the interest or principal of
the bonds due by the coun;NHfor tina
Company. 1t sounds SO strang &c to me
that our City Fathers should oppose
another city or road from furnishing the
money to build a road for US that we
need SO very much, or that she should
seriously prefer one road to another.
Now, l em for that road being built as
soon as possible-the sooner the better
and / don't want to be taxed any longer
for what has been or may be done in the
matter.
Therefore, let the Railroad Commits
sioners remember that in voting against
the proposed lease they are saddling upon
the people of Davidson county an annual
tax of twelve thousand dollars fol- many
years to come. Bear it in mind.

The Sad Fate of n Lincoln County
Fishing Party.

The sad Fate of a Lincoln County
Fishing Party.
4 most heart-rendiDg calamity occurred
to two young men near the mouth of the
South Fork of Cumberland river, a few
miles below Somerset, KY, on Friday
night last. Mr.. Z. T. Higgins and w.
w. Englemsn, young men who live in
Lincoln county, near Stanford, had gone
on fishing frClic to this river, and had
gone out into near the middle of the
stream to fish trap, on horseback, send
ing the horses back to house near by
where they were stopping. 1t was after
night, and very dark. Between midnight
and day, the river, from unheard of and
heavy rains In the mountain counties
above, commenced rising rapidly and IN
expectedly to them, as is frequently the
case; and before they became aware of
their danger, the water was getting over
the trap, and drift wood floating.
They then began calling for aid-ask-
ing for help from the shore; but the night
was dark, and they not being able to
arouse any one until the water was over
half way up their bodies, and the canoe
having got away from its meoring, no aid
could be given in time. Mr.. Engleman
was good swimmer, but his cousin, Mr..
Higgins, could not swim; and it is be.
lieved that MIR. E. remained with him he
roically until the last moment. By day.
light the water was up to their arm pits,
when young Englemsn struck out for the
shore, and just at this moment canoe
and man coming to the rescue appeared
in sight, and they were told to be of good
cheer; but EDgleman was SO chilled that
before the canoe reached him he sank
and drowned; seeing which, young Hig-
gins fell back over the trap and sank also.
The bodies, we learn, have been recov-
cred. The young men were about twenty
one years of age, and young men of fine
intelligence. One of them told the men
on shore that he had tieS his watch to
the trap for safety, and requested them to
get it, and told them what disposition he
desired them to make of it. They are
highly connected in Lincoln and adjoin-
ing counties, and large number of
kindred and friends mourn their sad fate.
Their remains will be taken to Stanford
for interment. Courier

ESCAPE OF HARDWICKE.

backs do the JOB.
Correspondence of the Memphis Appeal.
LITTLE Rock, April 24.-Hardwicke,
the notorious swindler and bigamist, who
was recently brought to this city in Gus
tody, made his escape, on Sunday after
noon, from the county jail. 1t is gener-
ally believed that his custodians were
bribed, and assisted bin to escape.
Although he had been in jail for nearly
six weeks, he had succeeded in waving q
hearing until week ago, when he was
committed in default of Sc, 900 bail. The
coming week was fixed for his trial. His
first wife, who is no doubt a cOnfrere,
came to this city week'after his arrival,
and has visited him daily since, spending
nearly the entire day with him. He
was also visited by darby clergyman
and lawyer of the same color. These
parties were permitted by the darby jail
or and his black assistants to have free
intercourse with him. 1t was only at
night that he was placed in cell, and it
is doubtful whether then, for the greatest
license was extended to him, and during
the day he had the entire run of the build
ing. This was permitted notwithstand-
ing the remonstrances that were made by
the gentlemen whom he swindled, and
who had spent $1,000 in effecting his
arrest. On Sunday his wife was with
him as usual, but left at an early hour,
After she had departed Hardwicke walked
into the yard, opened the gate, which
was left unlocked for him, mounted a
horse awaiting him, and escaped. So far
but little effort has been made for his re-
capture. The sheriff offers reward of
5000. His wife who has been stopping
at the hotel since her arrival, was known
to have a large amount of money, and
with this she very readily obtained her
husbands release.

TENNESSEE NEWS.

A reward is offered by parties in Knox
vile for two live red and two gray foxes.
They are wanted for the chase at the May
fair.
An acre of ground in the southern por-
ton of Memphis was sold a few days
since for $400, which in 1866 changed
hands at 81, 200.
A crew of builders in Knoxville struck
for higher wages few days since, but
were defeated in their object by others
taking their places at the old rates.
A number of heavy frosts have recent
ly visited portions of East Tennessee, but
hopes are entertained that they have not
proved fatal to the peach crop, although
peaches have been materially injured.
In response to an invitation from the
mechanics of Knoxville, Andrew johnson
will deliver an address at the fair grounds
near that city on the 9th inst. on the
subject of mechanical skill and industry.
