The Paramount Imp0FtaHOs 10 Memphis Of
the Selma ROad-Its GFsat BeHsfIls to
acknowledgements Of General
Forrest aud Governor Harris.

A large meeting was held at the Green
law Opera House last night to hear what
Was to be said about the Selma road and
the forthcoming county subscription Of
$500, 600. The meeting was almost eX-
clusively composed of prOperty-hOlders
and merchants, who evinced a deep inter
est, even enthusiasm, in the objects of the
meeting. General Forrest appeared a few
minutes after eight o'clock. He said:
1t appears to me that all has been said
TO convince the community not only of
the Justice, but of the utility and benefit
Of oUr project. Upon the general princi-
pies Of railroad development I shall say
nothing this evening. The road that l
ana President of is Of vast Importance to
the city of Memphis. Since 1869 we have
built fifty miles Of that road, which is now
in working order. 1 went out as one of
the iucOrporatOrs of the road. Sell
ma gave ms ten thousand dollars
in money. Since then 1 have raised
in subscription, county bonds and stock
upward Of $4,000, 900, nearly enough to
build the road, and whether Memphis
gives US any support or not we propose to
finish the road [cheers]. Memphis has
given me about three thousand dollars.
We have made surveys Of the road l
went through the county and got FIVE
dollars, ten dollars and twenty dollars to
defray the expenses of the survey made,
ana expended eouIOUO Tor JhHt purpose. l
canvassed the country along the line, and
not one has refused to gve me q subscrip-
ton. The general inquiry with them all
WAS, "what is Memphis going to dO2'
1 told them that Memphis was heavily
taxed, that there was continually de-
mands made upon her, but that / believed
she would give any subscription that
might be asked Of her loud spplsusel.
He said that he adopted railrOading as a
profession when everything had been
swept from him. He was now engaged
in a great project, and he was anxious to
show that he was dt to make a president
of a railroad, that he was fit to build a
road. He then gave statistics about con-
~structiOn and fit out So follows:
Estimated cost of road from Alabama
line to Memphis, III miles, assuming
graduation at Is, 900 cubic yards, per mile,
and to cost 35c. per yard:

their operatives, to their laborers and me-
ehanics; these pay it for groceries, for
rent for wearing apparel, for furniture,
and thus il finds It's way back into the
pockets of the property owners, who pay
1t to the County Tsx-Collector, and ne
debt IS cancelled. He estimated that AZ
least 100000 bales of cotton would
be raised within ten miles of that road,
He proved this by unsnswersbls argu-
ment, and that at least one-half Of that
woul come to Memphis. 1t is not too
much to estimate that each bale Of that
cotton viii leave a tariff here, in various
Items, OF nve dollars, not to mention
stealages. Laughter. One hundred
thousand bales leaving this tariff reim-
burses the county for the whole loan.
There is a clear gain-the debt being still
good. But if we take the low estimate Of
so 900 bales, we will have q clear gain Of
Sz5O,CO0l at the lowest.hgUre. Can it be
necessary to say mOre2 If you would
make Memphis grow and prosper, you
must construct railroads, and bring her
within the reach of markets for her sale
ables; you must get over the incubus that
has weighedsdown uponyou and paFalyzed
all your efforts; that cotton, cotton, cot
ton Is at the root of everything; you
must learn that 5000, 600 bales of cotton is
just IS valuable as 5000, 600; you must
construct railroads; initiate Old England
and New England in their manufactures
add industries. We must manufacture
our W cotton; we must get over the
suicidal policy of sending away our cot
ton raw, and then buy it back manufac-
tuned, for twice the money that we paid
for IL.
