BRowYLow's DYING LIES. Brown
low is coming yaliantly to the support
of Gen. Grant in his South Carolina
policy. He wants Tennessee to be
overrun by Federal troops, as the Pal
metto State already is. He is in favor
of anything that will reduce his oppo-
nents, free citizens though they-aro, to
the condition of a vanquished rabble.
lie has no heart in him, except as it
beats for the humiliation and over
throw of his p~ical opponents. lie
has the fendish assurance to say, even
when trembling on the verge Of the
crave: "Instead of Tennessee being
quiet and pcaceable, as Gov. Brown
represents it, | believe we ought to
have martial law proclaimed, and fed
eral troops enough sen. to the State to
protect every citizen in his rights, and
put stop to the murder Of citizens by
Governor Browns partisan kuklux
friends"
The old man is crazy by the venom
Of his maIignance. lie dares even to
prevaricate as to the condition of affairs
in State which he has 50 shamcfully
misroprcsonted, although one Of his
palsied feet hangs already over the
grave.
Yet the amount Of mischief to public
sentiment which this miserable dotard
may occasion is beyond calculation.
In his own party always an unwbolc>
some and irreconcilable element, he
survives only to make surcr the inn

WOODEN RAILwAYs.--This IS an
age of progress. A wooden railway is
now being constructed in Canada. The
Montreal Herald gives au account OF
an experimental trip recently made,
the train running at the rate Of twenty
five miles an hour with remarkable
smoothncss. That'paper furnishes the
following interesting particulars:
The ties, which are of hemlock and
mmarac, are now brought down on
trucks from the woods through which
the railway runs; they arc put on Il
rollway, run up to the most ingenious
circular saws, so gauged that at one
operation they are morticed the proper
depth and distance, not the difference
of hair bredth being found between
one and another. As fast as they are
cut, and the operation is very fast in
deed, the prepared ties are rolled over
to different siding from that on which
they were received, an ordinary circus
lar saw sides them, and they are loaded
up to be run out TO the place where
they are wanted. The wedges for key
ing up the rails are also prepared here.
The rails are of maple, four by seven
inches, and fourteen feet long, the
gauge of the line being four feet eight
and-a.half inches. The cost of the
line, in which cost are included stations
(nine in number car and locomotive
depot, engine and repairing shops,
engine and tender, two passenger cars,
eight grain cars, and twenty-five wood
cars, is So, 900 a mile, in full for all
but the Yamaska bridge, which costs
| s35, 900. 1t should be mentioned that
land damages, fences, etc, are included
also in this amount. In payment it
was agreed that municipal and govern.
ment debentures should be taken at
par, ard nothing was to paid except
4 as work to the extent of $40, 900 wa.

TIE SOUTHERN STATES. The
London Chemist and Druggist, of a
recent date, says truly of the Southern
States:
If the Southern United States are
not the garden ofthe world, it is farther
the fault of those who are responsible
for their cultivation and development,
than from any natural infcriority to
any other land on the surface of the
earth. 1t occurs 10 every mind that
this is the home of the chief products
which civilization demands. Cotton,
sugar and tobacco are products ofsuch
immensity as to dwarf those which
other lands bring forth, and yet these
are not all. Vast quantities Of wheat
and rice are exported, and luXuriant
but uncultivated vegetation besides
tc3tilios TO the immeHsa resources
which are forthcoming. These South~
ern States comprehend an area Of terri
tory equaling that Of Great Britain,
France and Germany. Waterad by
the grlndest rivers, and rich in every
variety Of soil, with millions of acres
of swamp yet unreclaimcd, there is a
future for this district which will
make it a territory to which all the
world will turn for its vegetable sup
plies.

MORE BURGLARY.-The light fin
gorcd gentry were not satisfied with
their raid upon our safe short time
since and on last Saturday night enter
ed the store of Mr.. Henry Lazarus,
and went for his cash drawer, which
only contained about two dollars and
seventy.fve cents change. They ap,
propriated that little sum, and de-
camped without taking any goods or
other valuable, so far as has been as
certained. A few more failures will
render them desperate and then we
may look out for fires.
Had we not better pay Il little more
taxes, have our city incorporated, and
employ police force? Let this mat
ter have little consideration, friends

Messrs. Ferguson q Jones have
lust received private letter from the
Hon. Jon. T. Bearden of Camden, from
which they have kindly permitted US
to make the following extract;
"We bad a meeting of the citizens OF
Camden on last night, at which there
was subscribed stock in our railroad, By
oar very best men, to the amount of sixty
thousand dollars. We feel confident
that we will increase the subscription
to one hundred thousand in less than
ten days. As soon as the people in the
country see what Camden has done,
they will take stock literally.
"The question has been mooted as
to whether we will levy a direct tax
of five per cent. upon all real estate.
The impression is almost universal that
the people will vote for it by a large
majority. The largest property bol-
ders in Camden are in favor Of it. |
am satisfied our city and county will
each give their bonds for one hundred
thousand dollars.
] grant you that the Cairo and Full
ton road may be built; but would it
not be better for your people to have
two roads than one? Every road that
penetrates your county adds just that
much more to its wealth, and just that
much more to the value of your lands,
and brings your county more promi'
nently into notice.
"And now one word as TO the rail-
road connections east Of this. | give
it TO you as my opinion, and that opin
ion is entertained by ninety>nine in
every hundred in this section of
country that the Mississippi, Ouachita
and Red River Road will be completed
to Camden in eighteen months. This
will give your people an outlet to the
world. In addition to this n contract
has been made, and bond and security
given in the sum Of two millions of
dollars for the faithful execution Of
the contract, to build the road from
DuNalls Bluff on White River, to
Pine Bluff. This road is to pass
through Camden TO Shreveport, there
to connect with the Texas Pacific. l
believe these two roads will be built,
md that speedily.
| would not speak thus confidently
if | had not given the subject a fair,
and impartial investigation,
and been convinced of its correctness"
This letter is dated October 26th.

In referring to the position OF the
Missouri Republican, with regard to
the withdrawal of the democratic party,
or its passiveness, in the coming presi-
dental election the Arkansas Gazette
indulges in the following reflections;
This is an important matter, and
should enlist the earnest thought OF
every conservative citizen in the land.
That the government, under the pre-
sent administration, is rapidly tending
toward despotism, no well informed
mind will deny. The extraordinary
power placed in the hands Of the presi-
dent is sufficient to alarm every good
citizen for the safety Of the republic
He has the right to place the entire
country under martial law, and the
congress is bound to sustain him IN 1t
because they gave him that power
He has already placed nine counties
in South Carolina under the rigorous
rule Of the military. Recently, the
committee ofseventy, who have con-
troll of the affairs of New York city,
applied to Gov. Hoffman, of that state
to put tho Empire City under the
control Of the military The governor
refusing. why should not the president
he invoked, and do that which the
governor refused? And who is there
to say him nay, we're he to do SO? And
strange to say, the sentiment of the
people of the north, regardless Of poli~
tics, seem to sustain this right Of the
president TO interfere and control the
local affairs of the states. This is a

At the recent Texas State fair, il
seems that the "baby show" constituted
quite a feature in the programme. All
the babies on exhibition, however, were
girls; and this fact seems to have put
the editor of the South Western Index
to thinking on tho prospects Of the
country. He says:
Right here, a question: Arc there
no boy babies! If not, parents are
very remiss. We shall need voters,
statesmen, warriors, merchants, me-
chauics, an1-in short, we don't S ee
how society would get along without
men. Boys are generally voted nui~
sanccs, but no other material has yet
been discovered out of which to make
men, and we are decidedly in favor of
some boy babies.
We suggest that the managers Of the
fair extend the time of notice given
before the next fair, and see what the
result will be. Or, a special premium
might bring out some boys. Don't
give itup.

AS All evidence of the great impor,
tance attached to the several projected
railroads through this portion of the
country, by the cities east of us that
will be benefited by their construction,
we copy the following article FROM the
Memphis Appeal of last week. We
are glad to note that Memphis, St.
Louis, and New Orleans, are beginning
to wake up to their true interests in
this direction. We hope our own peo-
pie will stop talking about a road "be-
ginning nowhere and ending nowhere"
and remember that more than one
great commercial centre will gladly
reach out their long iron arms to meet
and welcome the products and trade Of
this immediate vicinity. We venture
the assertion that no fifty miles of road
could be projected from this point,
that would not be met by some one Of
the several cities competing for the
trade of this section:
Do our citizens comprehend the
value of the trade that they could Sc
cure bya road to Shreveport? Have
they thought for an instant that this
road with its connections penetrates
the richest portions Of Arkansas and
Texas, and absolutely controls the ,clolc
trade Of The upper Red rirsr uaIiey, and
one-third the richest portion of Texas?
Let them look to their maps and see
that from Camden, running little
north of west, extends the Camden aud
Red river road, passing through four
rich counties, and securing the trade
of as many more, reaching Red rivera at
Lanosport, it takes the immense cotton
crop of the upper Red river valley
with the trade of the Choctaw nation
and the northern counties of Texas.
The Mississippi, Ouachita and Red
river railroad, which has been drag
ging its slow length along for many
years, now gives better promise than
ever of speedy completion. DIR.
Lewis, president of the road, speaks
confidently of his being in Il condition
to complete the road at once. Already
the cars are running through the
swamp, and the grading is completed
more than half way to Camden, and
beyond Camden half way to Red river.
Iron for the Pine Bluff road (connec-
ting with this) will arrive next month,
and that road (being already graded
and tied) will be at once completed,
then the Mississippi, Ouachta and
Red river road will be pushed on. 1t
penetrates Texas for two hundred
miles Gall graded and connecting at
Camden with a road leading northeast,
either to Memphis Of Helena, will prove
a valuable feeder to that road. Now
are We to get this trade or to lose II?
If the Arkansas Central is first in the
field, we lose it, because the people Of
that country will only aid in building
one road, and Memphis cannot build
without their aid.
We recur to this subject, and expect
to again, because it is Of vital impor-
tance to our city, and desire to place
it in its true proportions before the
people and arouse them to Immediate
action. This is one Of the cases in
which delays are not only dangerous,
but will be fatal.

Now is the time to haul off cotton,
and from the number of wagons we see
laden with that precious burden, we

to market.
