Regular passenger and freight trains are

viz the Iron Mountain Road, making quick
tine and close connections; this is the
best route to travel when going northwest.
ward.
Everybody about the depots is busy, TO-
be- sure, but freights are not quite so heavy
as they were a few days ago. The past
month or two has been a hard season on
| the clerks, agents, etc., and many of them
| look and feel as though few weeks among
| the mountains, behind a fish-pole, or at the
kick-end of shotgun would do them much
good.
In conversation with veteran railroad
man the other day, he remarked that ever
| since he had got old enough to take care of
himself he had desired to take brief trip
over the country and see a little of the
world, or at least a portion of the United
States; but since that time he had scarcely
seen day he could call his own-business,
businessl and thus it is, our best men are
slaves to business, slaves to life, slaves to
others, and slaves to themselves-a bond
age that is unrelenting in its exactions and
requirements.
Jim Cavanaugh, brakeman on one of
the branches of the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad, was killed at Bowling Green
on Monday by falling from freight train.
One of the neatest, cleanest and most
tidy kept depots in the country is the
Louisville depot In this city. The sitting
room, closets, ETC., are every morning
washed and cleaned up, and kert in the
most healthful condition, while the freight
quarters are kept in a condition cores
pondingly good This depot is fine ex-
ample for all others to follow.
Thirty carloads of freight, of miscel-
laneOus character, passed southwark on
Tuesday night
Supt. NJ. l.. Blanton, of the Edgefeld
and Kentucky, went out on the line yes
terday on professional trip, to look after
the interests and condition of the road
and stations. Mr.. Rawlings is the Freight
Agent of this road here, and is very in
dustrious, accommodating and efficient
officer, with whom it is pleasure to do
business.
Train No. 4, on the Nashville and Chat
tanooga road, (passengeT) which was due
here at 3:45 yesterday morning, did not
arrive until after ) o'clock last night. The
cause of this considerable detention was
the running of the track near TantaIlan-
some eighty or ninety miles from here.
The run-off occurred at a switch, and the
road was blockaded until P. M. when the
track was cleared. No person was hurt,
and but little damage was done to the
tram. Train No. was also delayed by
the blockade, and came in with the No. 4.
In consequence of the accident connection
was not made with any of yesterdays de-
parting trains. on the several roads leading
out Of here.

New York Dry Good Market,

New YORK, Feb. 1. - The incIem-
ency of the weather, the prospect of
an early thswing of the frozen streams, and
the cessation of hostilities in Europe, tend
to dsmpen the ardent spirits of short sup
ply holders, who were looking for early
trade. An upward tendency in prices,
high freights, bad weather and the lifeless
condition of trade throughout the entire
country, owing to the scarcity of money,
keep buyers out of the market; and apart
from the operations in the early clothing
trade, there is but little order or animation
in the market for the general sale of dry
goods. Prices in the meantime range quite
uniform; 124@13c for heavy brown sheet
ings; 1O9c for heavy brown shirtings; lie
for the best styles Of printed calicoes; 1Oc
for delains; loo for Lancaster ginghams;
and SOC for Olark's 6 cord, soft, flush, spool

"Hoc the Radicals Dicided on the Con.
ceation Question. Under the above cap
ton the Enquirer of this morning quotes
from the fredericksburg Ledger, and gives
the vote of the members of the State Cen
trail Committee upon the question of Con-
vention or no Convention. AS Mr.. Sener
has seen proper to make public the vote,
we give it from his paper, but correct a
false impression made by the article. The
vote stood
AYEs.-S. +. Maddox. Robert Norton, j. M.
Humphreys, Landon Boyd ]. r. Popham, ]. +.
Lewis, and John w. Woltz-7.
NAYs-H. II. Wells, Isaac Morton, r.. G.
Green, Peter &. Morgan, L. p. Jackson, j. +.
Wilson, James B. Sener, and Ro w. Hughes-s.
On the final vote "Colonel Robert w.
Hughes was absent" This is true but
before the final vote was taken, and imme-
diately after the motion of Mr.. Morton to
reconsider the question, Colonel Hughes
stated that if Mr.. Morton had not made
the motion, he himself intended doing so,
and that, but for the support of some one
else to Mr.. Morton's motion, he would
have seconded it. The report that the
final vote stood to 5, is also incorrect, as
the seven who originally supported the call
for convention were strengthened by the
addition of Morton, of Caroline, and VIII
son of Lynchburg-making the final vote
nine to four, Messrs. Sener and Hughes
being absent.

ErcHemea. YESTERDAY morning some
excitement was caused by the announce
ment on the streets that the body of dead
child had been found in DIR. Marks field.
A jury was summoned, and at O'Clock
met at the place to examine the body. Mr..
L. w. Grow, acting coroner, did not think
jury was necessary, from the fact that the
remains was that of fntus, and entirely de-
composed, nothing left but few bones.
From all appearances it was that of a white
child, and had been there for some months.
1t was ordered that the overseer of the poor
take the box and contents and dispose of it
in proper manner.
