HICKMAN COUNTY.
ARaIJroad in Prospecttye.

The people of Hickman county are be-
coming thoroughly aroused on the subject
of railroad. Some days since a large
crowd assembled at the courthouse in
Centreville, to take into consideration
this important enterprise, and devise
means of going practically at work in the
matter. The sum of $500 was subscribed
toward surveying the route through
that county to intersect the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad at the most practi-
cable point, so as to locate it about the
centre of the county. The people have
listened long enough to assistance that has
never come, and they have determined on
building a road of their own through their
county to some point on the Nashville and
Northwestern, or the Tennessee and Deca-
tur Railroad whichever point is the
most practicable and most easily
reached. They are becoming tired
of sending $50, 900 worth of peanuts and
other produce TO Nashville every year by
wagons over rough dirt roads at an ex-
pense of from $50, 200 to SAC, 600, when
thew can reach railroad connection under
the late system of the narrow gauge roads
at the cheap cost Of building such. We
kaov the resources of Hickman county
we'll. We have traversed its hills of incal-
culable mineral wealth and scanned her far
outstretching valleys of rich arabic lands,
overspread with waving corn and golden
sheaves in other days, and we know that,
when her people have become aroused to
q subject ike they seem to be upon this,
they mean business, and having the
means and wealth, as they certainly have,
that they are bound and determined to
carry the project through. A new era has
set in among her people, and they have
caught the spirit Of the age in progress and
Improvement, by making an effort of their
own to open up her resources by railroads.
The evidences are that, before another
twelvemonth, they will be at work upo.

charms but i'll deserve to be invaded by
the rude presence of q wsrlike host
Built by Louis XIV for the famous
Madam du Barry, and subsequently the
favorite retreat of the unfortunate Marie
Antoinette; surrounded by an English
garden, whose loyeliness has been the
theme of every tourist, and hidden away
in the midst of luxuriant foliage that
seems TO guard it from all rude trespass-
ers, this sequestered nook is at last
brought to experience the blight that has
fallen upon SO many of the fairest por-
tons of France. Indeed, there seems to
he no part of that ill,starred land that is
utterly exempt from violation, and the
mad passions of its people threaten to
mar it as much as the worst efforts of its
foreign enemies.
