RALEIGH AND ITS ROAD.

The ancient town of Raleigh is look
ing up. Under the stimulus of the pro-
posed railroad dead property is quicken
ing into life, and slight tinge of enter
prise is appearing upon the cheeks of
the chronic cases who have been there
time out of time. Slowly, but surely,
the virtue Of the waters is becoming
known, for the story Of reconstructed
constitution, through their use, repeats
itself-not so much in words as in phys
ical facts. The old objection, that the
springs are too near the city, may do for
people who are able to travel abroad,
but is not valid in the mind Of one who
can preserve his health by their use
and still manage his affairs. There is no
more beautiful spot of earth than the
little valley of these springs Nature
seems to have provided it as breathing
place for a great city that was to be, and
to have made its waters an antidote for
the ills of the great valley of the Missis-
sippi. The completion of the proposed
railroad will make it suburb of Mem
phis. There is scarcely a rood of the
distance that is not adapted either to
building purposes or to cultivation. We
have no more interest in the project
than any other citizen, but we do desire
to see our people avail themselves of
blessings a bountiful nature offers them.
We know of no other city that can boast
such suburb as Raleigh will become to
Memphis. With the railroad completed,
a few minutes will take the scorched,
stiAed city man and woman into the
free, cool air of the country, and half
an hour will take them to health-giving
waters. On with the Raleigh railroad

nrATH OF vALLANDIGHAM.

The death of Hon. C. L. Vallandigham
il an event generally regretted All
narties ioin in doing him honor. The
men who prosecuted him for years on
account of his sentiments are among
his strongest eulogists, and were among
the first at his grave He was no ordi-
nary man. He possessed strong intel
leet and a will that quailed before no
opposition and shrunk from no danger.
When, during the war, it endangered a
mans life to call an act of tyranny by
its right name, he did it. He braved
Lincoln, Seward, and all the little bells
that rang the knell of personal liberty.
He knew when he resisted the usurpa-
tons of these men that he for
feited the esteem of their dupes
and stimulated the energies of their in
struments. He scorned them all. He
thought the South wrong in seeding, but
he thought, nevertheless, that the people
of the South possessed rights that even
Lincoln and Seward should respect In
1868 he was foremost in nominating Sey-
mour. On principle he approved the
platform adopted. he knew, or thought
he knew that it would be folly to go into
the Presidential election in 1872 on that
platform. He admitted that the four
teenth and fifteenth amendments were
fraudulently ratified, but he knew the
difficulty in annulling them. 1t could
only be done hereafter when the Demo-
cratic party came into power. But to
make that part of the Democratic plat
form, he had no hope that the Demo
cratic party could regain power. In
conjunction with others, he proposed in
the Dayton resolutions what is now
popularity known as the new depar-
ture."' He lived just long enough to
perceive that it would divide the Demo
cratic party; but believed, no doubt,
that the populur current would sustain
it, and that the directors would, at last,
rally around the standard Of the party.
For himself, it is probable that he had
little hope of political advancement.
What the effect of his death upon the
new movement will be, remains to be
seen. Aside from political considera-
tons, the death of such'a man is a
public calamity, and SO the country re-
CARDS it. The circumstances Of his
death are melancholy enough. But his
time had come.

Some days since an account appeared
in the LEDGER of baby being left at
the Orphans Home, at Buntyn's Sta
ton, by negro girl, who presented the
baby and note to the matron OF the In
stitution. On Saturday last a white
woman presented herself at the Home
and demanded that baby, saying that it
was her darling which had been stolen
by its father, but not her husband. The
young woman was quite indignant at
the father who stole the little innocent,
and when the baby appeared she caressed
it with evidepi maternal delight. After
convincing the matron that she was the
real mother of the child she was per-
mitted to return to the city with her ju-
venile treasure.

GIVE US POPULATION.

Common sense and experience COM
bine to teach us that it takes a great
country to make a great city. You can
not push one into existence by brave
resolutions. It must draw its nutriment
from the country that surrounds it.
When it has drawn all the nutriment
accessible to it, it can progress no fur
Their. In other words, when the country
that supports it can bring no more trade,
business suspends, and " for rent is
written on the doors Of the business
houses. After all our business men
can do to keep the city up,
it must come to this at last:
We must populate the country,
we must create customers we must
double our producers, and decrease the
number Of our idle consumers. If the

trade Memphis commands we're doubled,
what would be the effect on our city,

finest vessel in the Russian navy, is be-
ing thoroughly repaired and fitted for
his imperial highness and the brilliant
and numerous staff that will accompany
him. The eagerness at the different
naval depots to join the squadron is
only equalIed by the spirit of rivalry
which is manifested at the imperial
court by young Russian noblemen and
gentlemen anxious to be attached to the
staff of his imperial highness.
Exclusive of the imperial suite, the
squadron will have about two hundred
officers, and three thousand sailors and
