limnies are panelled-hayerectangular pro-
,ction3 at top, and will be stucood; all the
,ter doors and windows are circular head
/. The Depot will front on the track from

in ou5 OF two ways by locating the build

Common sense as well as the necessities o

We find the following appropriate remarks on

the Memphis appeal, and would invite the at.
tention of our readers to the facts presented
therein, as they are unfortunately as applicable
to this section, as to otlar parts of the South:
In the Southern States there exists an un-
worthy trio of political pirates who nave peen
irving to sell out the Democratic party for the
last twelve months. They sneer ut the Aatlohai
Democracy, ridicule its preteusions, assert thae
1t 10 powerless for good, oppose its organization
ita Conventions, and its nominees, ana one OF
the gang has voted for Radical candidates In
preference to Confederate Democrats fet tnese
mongrels talk about the duty of the party IneK
have repudiated, and whenever Blair, or HOE
man, or Hendricks proclaim and reite1ate those
senunciate, they seize upon their words, distort
sahem into Q support of their treason, and In
eandemnation OF the true and reliable Democ-
saay. 1t is not, therefore, surprising that these
nnserupulous. nondescripts should boldly ana
uahanshingly assume that the recent address,
