MEMPHIS AND TEXAS.
Railroad Meeting at the GreenIaw
Opera House Last Night.


The railroad meeting proposed by the
Chamber Of Commerce some days since
was held at the Greenlaw Opera House
last night and was largely attended by
the business men and capitalists Of the
city. Colonel Pinson acted as chair
man of the meeting, Speeches were
made by Colonel Sam Tate, Colonel A.
II. Douglass and Judge McAdoo, of JEFF
ferson, Texas. The Judge made prac.
teal speech, bristling all over with facts
and figures showing the advantages to
be derived by Memphis by building a
railroad to Jefferson. The two railroad
systems Of Texas were explained-one
running from the coast northward,
and the other system is to extend
the railways OF the State east and
west. Judge McAdoo explained the
progress made by Jefferson and the i'm
portance of the international railway TO
the Pacific via San Antonio, the mining
districts of Mexico, and terminating at
Mazatlan on the Pacific coast. The
value Of the cotton trade Of Texas was
explained. The city of Jefferson will
issue bonds to the amount Of $500, 900
to build the road toward Memphis. The
counties along the route will also sub
scribe largely toward this great enter
prise.
At the close of Judge McAdoo's able
and interesting speech, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted
by the meeting:

struction of the proposed railroad con

THE LARGE CoTToN CRoP IN THE SoUTH.-
The cotton receipts of this port are already
over /, ,00O, 900 bales and the cry is, still they
come. Every boat comes into port loaded
down to the guards, and almost hidden from
view by the enormous piles of bales. Mon
day morning there were 10000 bales on the
levee, which had been brought in between
Friday night and Monday On Sunday
1000 bales were on board of steamboats,
nearly the whole day, waiting for space on
the levee to deposit them. And from all
quarters of the Southwest come reports of
large quantities awaiting shipment. With
all, too, there remain thousands of
acres unpicked, whitening the fields for miles;
there is not the labor to pick them, nor would
it pay at present rates. The price of cotton
now is reduced to the rates before the war,
and with nearly as large a product. The
wonder is how this was all done with free
labor, and the absence of the negro women
from the fields, and in refutation of the pro-
phecies and calculations of the most sagacious
and far-seeiDg. The remarkable favorable
ness of the season will account for q great
deal, but not for all of this immense produc-
tion. Much is due to the newly-awakensd
enterprise and energy of the Southern
people. 1t is now shown what our
people can do; they have, however,
other qualities and virtues to practice
and cultivate, to prevent the effects of over
production, to save the losses consequent
upon suddenly reduced prices. Prominent
among these are thrift and economy. The
waste and carelessness on our plantations are
lamentable. The engrossment of the planters
In the production of this single staple pro-
duces neglect of those arts of saving and
management without which no industry can
be made remunerative. 1t is not so much the
large crops as the high cost at which they
are produced that makes the cotton product
this year so little remunerative-N o. Times
