Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1871-07-21

DISPATCHES from Stuttgart, Germany,
announce the occurrence of an interesting
event, being the reception of deputation
of the American Evangelical Alliance by
Prince GOrtschahOff, of Russia, and the
presentation of an address through him to
the Gar, in effect asking the establish
ment of religious liberty in hisdominions.
The address was especially elected by the
fact thai the laws of Russia prevent the
Lutherans Of the Baltic provinces from
openly worshiping according to their
faith, and is supported by an appeal to
the genius of modem civilization as par
ticularly shown in the freedom of relig-
ious opinion in the United States.

Philosophers tell Us that it is impOssi-
bic to obtain true idea of any object
unless we can see 1t In sll its phases, and
from every side. Even the rural felicity
of the AdirOndacks cannot be
fully understood or appreciated
unless seen from the position Of more
than one observer; and the only
way to get at q genuine expression of
opinion is to read q couple of letters now
lying waiting for the mail. First comes
a large and rather dirty looking enveiOpa,
directed in a sprawling boyish baud, aad
furthermore adorned by two bl0ts and g
big smear, the latter evidently effected by
the impatient little finger of the writer.
1t reads thus:

CINoINNATI, July 20.-About three
months ago railroad company was Or
ganized here known as the Kentucky and
Great Eastern, with Col. ]. Morton, of
New York, as President. A. j. Holden,
Vice President; and, besides these, as
Directors, Gen. Fremont, Gen. Banks, of
Massachusetts; Judge Cutler, of Ma
rietts; j. NJ. Duke, of Maysville, and
James T. Brady, of Pittsburg. This was
ostensibly to construct a railroad from
Cincinnati to Cattletsburg, KY, under
charter granted By the Kentucky Legisla-
ture last year.
This, then, did not attract much atten-
ton. 1t now appears that it was but a
small part of their purpose, and that the
zeal plan was to build another road from
Cincinnati to New York city through
Kentucky, and across West Virginia, TO
Point of Rocks, Va, thence by the roads
now constructing through York and Read
ing, Penn, to its eastern terminus. 1t
is stated that the Company has purchased
the franchise and property of the Mays
vile and Big Sandy Railroad, which is
to become part of the,line.
Those in interest claim that this will be
by measurement 100 miles shorter from
Cincinnati to New York than the route
by the Pennsylvania Central-the short
est existing line, and in the equaling of
distances by curves and grades little less
than 200 miles shorter. Il is announced
that the work will be commenced in Ken
lucky within three months, and that the
line to New York will be finished in less
than three years.
1t appears that the same parties are In
terested in the new movement to finish
the old tunnel, partly constructed through
the hills north of the city. The contract
has doubtless been made for this part OF
the project, intended to furnish north
western connections.
The Lotteries Ia Limbo.
J. E. Simmons, who claims ownership
in the wheels, tubes and numbers in the
Kentucky State lotteries, has instituted
suit against Deputy Marshal Berry Hr-
din, who made seizure for the recovery
of implements and for S., 900 damages.
