The British Colonial Empire.

In the English House of Commons,
p re(1utien was Iscently htrodue11
for II appointment of conmittesto
oonsI er what Measures should ae
adopted tosecure IL permanent maln-
|tenajee of 4he best md The most cor
dial interconnection between all parts
of the British Empire. An animated
debate ensued, in which was discussed
the condition Of the British North
American colonies with Q population
of 4, $50, 900; of the AustralasiaR colo
MES witha population Of 1850, 600,
and the South African colonies with q
population of l ,250, 900, making total
Of !, 250, 900; the resolution however,
was finally Withdrawn. During the
debate it was argued that the colonies
of Great Britain were In q state. Of
s'semi-dislocationD, from the mother
country, and twas suggested that there
should be established q colonial board
or council composed of representa-
tives from the colonies, and also to be
entrusted with the task of establishing
among the various colonies and be-
tween the colonies AMI the mother
country a greater degree of reciprocity
and co-opereration. The London
Times, in commenting upon this pro
ject, says that such council or Con-
gress would be a dangerous delusion,
would promise much and do nothing,
would foster expectations impossible
to be ever realized, and would thereby
provoke disaf1ection which at present
does not exist. The simple fact and
honest truth, says The Times, is that
the British Parliament as now estab-
lished is the best constituted Inter-
colonial Parliament that could be de-
vised.
In going over the list of English
colonies In the various parts of the
globe, the Times says, .alluding to the
United States, "and we might have
had another exceeding even the popu-
ton of these isles, had we anticipated
events by . prudent and generous poll
cy." In another portion Of the article
the Times says that the United States,
it Is true, increase more than the
British colonies, bat that this increase
is due to the causes beyond legislative
control, such as their convenient dis
lance and position, Irish disafection
and French and German immigration.
But in reference to the proposed Coun-
Gil, the Times argues that the chief
purposes Of good government are ear

books in behalf of which Gen. John b. Gordon

unexceptionable, and the contents are of the
first order. The Holmes Readers have on

poor children of the South. These books con-
tain sketches OF Southern character and histo;

This series of books are written by such men

DcVere and Gildersleevc, of the uniyersityof

which contain secret venom and spleen, in

Parents should see that their children are

which was, as it designation implie. the
direct and central route between Middle
and West Tennessee. 1t was considered
by the Surveying party as the
/ MOST ELIGIBLE AND ECONOMICAL ~'l
route between these two grand divisions
of the State, but as the cost of the con-
struction and equipment of the road de-
pended greatly for assistance from peo-
pie along the line, and they manifesting
no interest or concern in it, the enter-
prise was abandoned, other routes were
surveyed, and the citizens there being
liberal and public spirited, got, as they
deserted to get, the Roads.
THE PEOPLE OF PERRY
are now awakened, and vigorous efforts
will be made to push the enterprise to a
successful issue. The people of Madi-
son, Henderson and Decatur counties,
are moving with will, and hope for
some assistance and countenance from
old Maury. 1t will unquestionably
GREATLY BENEFIT MAURY COUNTY,
and particularly Columbia, and as that
county and city have always been wide
awake to their interests, we are conf
dent of your aid and cooperation.
1 presume you have some knowledge
ofthe topography OF the country through
which it il proposed to run it. The
country from jackson to Tennessee RVS
er is nearly an unbroken level, while
the route from Tennessee river to Mt.
Pleasant is really splendid. The agri-
cultural capacity of the country you are
acquainted with, and the iron ore aboun-
ding on the route is inexhaustible and
of excellent quality.
1t will pass directly through
GRASSY VALLEY,
a region nearly neglected, but which, in
the hands of Swiss or German emi-
grants, would equal the best portions OF
the State. 1t is nearly perfect level,
and just such land as they would want,
and which our natives would pass by
because CT the lack of virgin soil. In
their care, it would soon become fertile,
and the desert place would blossom as
the rose.
We hope you will give this article a
place in your columns, and also lend us
your influence in futherance of this
project, which has for its ultimate de-
sign the aggrandizement of no paitica-
lar individual, but the enhancement of
the interests of our entire community,
and many OF them your neighbors and
patrons. Very Respectfully, &c,
