RAILRoAp MENTION.


About sixteen car loads of pork arrived
IN this city yesterday from Louisville, via
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad.
The various committees who went out on
a special train up the Tennessee aud Pa
cifc Railroad, day before yesterday, to Sc
lect places for picnic parties, have not yet
reported, but it is thought most of them
will select the groves at Silver Springs and
Mount Juliet. - --t...e
The time Tor holding the meeting of the
Directors of the Tennessee and Pacific
Railroad has been fixed for next Tuesday,
and at that meeting officers will be chosen,
and the extension of the road discussed.
Inc Memphis appeal says: Marshall,
Texas, is the initial point of the Southern
Pacific railroad as fixed by the act of Con-
gress. In view of the value Of lands
granted by Texas and by the United States,
worth infinitely more in Southern than
hyperborean Latitude, this Southern Pacific
Railway Company is the richest corpora
ton on the continent. The road will be
finished to San Diego, at the head of the
Gulf of California, and thence to San Fran
cisco, within the next three years, and
within q much briefer period w. B. Green
law and Sam Tate will have completed the
road from Memphis, De Wallis and Pine
Bluff, through Camden, Arkansas, one
hundred and seventy miles, to Marshall,
Texas, or to Shreveport, Louisiana.

Periodicals..

The first number of the American re-
print of the British Quarterly Review has
just been sent to US by the Leonard Scot
Publishing 90. Briefly, its contents ar g
as follows: The American Press, Interna-
tional Coinage, The Malmesbury Papers,
Explorations in Palestine, Early Sieges of
Paris, f tablished Church in Wales, Greek
New Testament of DR.. Tregelles, The War
of 1870, and very valuable miscellany Of
Contemporary Literature. This review
now takes the place left vacant by the dis
continuance of the North British Review;
and there is every prospect of its becom-
ing quite as popular as any Cf the series.
The present (the january number is
furnished without charge to all who had
subscribed for the North British for the
current year.
The May number of Lippincott's Maya
zine is spicy and piquant its department
of fiction being especially fine. In this
particular, saying nothing about Others,
we are inclined to think that Lippicott
leads all the American magazines. Some
of the Characteristic features of life in
Washington at the commencement of the
civil war are graphically and humorously
depicted by Chauncey Hickox in story,
entitled sob and the Bug" which forms
the opening paper in the current number.
There is also a lively sketch Of mining life
in California, from the pen of Prentice
MulfOrd, one of the most characteristic
writer's of the far West, who has succeeded
Bret Harte as editor of The Overland
Monthly. "Berne in Winter" an admit
rsbly written sketch by Mrs. Sarah B. Wis
ter, gives Us a refreshing description of
the curiosities and peculiar features of that
old and interesting town, together with a
rapid survey Of its history Ancient
Monument CT America by Charles Nor
ris, contains some interesting az
tiquarisn information in relation to
tteprimitive inhsbi ants of the
United States, of Mexico, Peru and
other portion Of the North and Sonth

are a number of interesting articles in

Two hundred and fifty dollars were
paid Yesterday by Comptroller Pennsbaker

The New Motive Power.

MIR. Oayce, of Franklin, Tenn, the in
ventor of the much talked of and already
Justly famous means for applying spring
power to locomotion and machinery, was
In the city yesterday on business connected
with the preparations he is making for ex-
hibition Of specimens Of his invention at
the great Exposition. 1t is now quite
probable that q miniature railroad track
will be constructed on the grounds Of the
Exposition building, in order to demon
atrate the fact that spring power, as well as
steam, can be so managed as to propel a
train Of cars. What is more regular than
clock work and is it not by spring power
that the time-keepers of the world are set
aud kept in motion? Then may not that
power be so increased and managed as to
ran larger mschinery-say that necessary

A permanent organization was effected
by the selection of J. N. McAdams as

1872.
After addresses by several Of the dele

A Modest REQUEST Declined.

Ia the Federal Court yesterday the at
torney of Mr.. Kloon, the man who was the
day before convicted on the charge Of some
almost objectionable indiscretions while
acting in the capacity of pension agent for
nine or more persons, stated to the court
that his client desired to come down into
the city for the purpose of transacting
some little business, aud asked that he be
permitted to do SO without the trouble and
humiliation incident to official accompani-
mept. The court could mot see it in that
light, and therefore declined granting the
privilege asked for the party, who had
shown himself such an adept at getting
through with money which did not exactly
belong to him.

The horticultural exhibition

We hazard nothing in saying that every
man, woman and child in Nashville should
see this splendid display. And we believe
that selection Of rare plants in bloom,
or of stove plants admired for their foliage
only, has not before been exhibited by the
Tennessee Horticultural Society on any
previous occasion. At night especially is
the effect strikingly beautiful by gas light.
The arrangement of the plants with refer
ence to the light give evidence of great
taste on the part of the excellent Commit
tee of Arrangements. To day and tonight
let the opportunity be improved by every
one to witness this magnificent collection
of pants.

AuImportant Movement.

A movement is on foot in st. Louis
among prominent merchants, bankers and
capitalists to organize an association in the
interest Of the cotton and sugar producers,
with the design of controlling a part of
this trade. The movement contemplates
a bank in that direct interest, with cspi-
tai of half million. large cotton press,
warehouse and sugar sheds on the levee,
with arrangements forfreights, which shall
give st. Louis an advantage over COM
petipg points. One hundred thousand
dollars is now ready to embark in this en-
terprise, and it IS said no difficulty will be
experienced in speedily raising million
capital stock. This project has been talked
of for some time, but it has now assumed
a definite shape, and will undoubtedly be
carried out very soon.

Two Splendid Pullman Palace

Two splendid Pullman Palace
Sleeping Cars
have lately been ordered by the Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad Company. One,
named the Winetka, recently come over
the Louisville Road, and was to leave this
city last night for the South. One attrac-
tive feature of this car is that it has lamp
which forms panel, and the traveller, on
retiring, can reverse it, and thus turn out
his light, the same as if he were at home
Anotherfeature is the ladies' dressing room,
which is entirely enclosed and free from
intrusion by outsiders.
Another car, similar to the above, named
the Fairview, for the sans Road, was to
leave Louisville last night for the South
Each of these cars contains twelve tables,
and eaca car cost about $4,000. They
were made in Detroit, at the Pullman Car
Company's Works, and are elegant speci-
mems of mechanical skill and ingenuity.

diers' quarters, and expressed themselves
as highly pleased, not only with the appear
ance and drill of the soldiers, but with their
AIMS, known as American breech leaders.
The members of the troupe are said tohave
remarked that the band of the sixteenth
infant would compare favorably with the
military bands of Europe, while 1t was su'
peIior to many.
At Col. Pennybacker's residence, col
lation of cake and wine was provided, and
after discussing its merits, Mile Nilsson
ssng, in her own inimitable way, "Old
Folks at Home, and NJ. Brigpoli and other

which city the troupe will appear tonight
and tomorrow night, and will doubtless
sing to large audiences.
