To the Editors of the Union and American:
MOMINNVnLE, Aug. 10, 1S7I.-Within
the last few days business has carried
your correspondent from Huntsville to
Burksville, and in every county between
these points, along the western base of
Cumberland mountain, the railroad topic
seems to have absorbed all others. On
all hands it seems to be agreed that there
is a commercial necessity which will
inevitably ensure a great railway line
along the western base OF the Cumber-
land mountains, connecting great COM
mercial centres north and south, but how
that II ad shall b. built, where it shall be
built, and by whom it shall be built, are
questions which afford an infinite field for
divisions and discussions.
THE NJ MINNvILLE AND MANCHESTER ROAD,
which must form an important link in the
projected road, is another Erie road in
miniature. That road now sboasts two
boards of directors, two presidents and
two receivers, and in the courts, in the
papers, on the hastings, or the streets,
and everywhere, these rival Roses wage
their relentless warfare.
The contest over the Winchester and
Alabama road, which road constitutes
another link III the proposed road, is quite
as earnest, but more quiet and dignified,
perhaps, than that over the McMinnyille
road.
THE REAL PARTIES
10 the contract over this road seem to be
the city of Nashville and the Nashville
and Chattanooga road upon one side, and
the Memphis and Charleston road upon
the other. From Rock Spring, the
present terminus of the Winchester and
Alabama roads, TO Huntsville, it is but
seventeen miles az miles, and when that
gap is filled up, by the Gadsden road,
Nashville will be, by the nearest possible
line, in direct communication with the
commercial centers of the South, and if
she can secure the Winchester and Ala
bama road, her loss by the Decatur road
will be more than reprieved.
M'MINNvuLE,
Notwithstanding the general paralysis
of business, is sustaining her reputation
for pluck, energy and enterprise, and
upon all sides is to be seen the evidence
of progress and improvement. In short
time it will have one of the finest hotels
in the State, and of all of them, under
the administration of DR.. Reid and lady,
it will be the best kept. Here too, is the
home of the lion hearted veteran,
COL JOHN Il. SAVAGE.
The trst time your correspondent ever
saw him was when he came limping home
from Mexico, where after the bloody fight

ALMOST UNHEARD OF CRUELTY.
Roasting "A Child by n Black Fiond.

Roasting a Child by n Black Ffend
We have read during the past year Of
cases OF demoniac cruelty, the details Of
which were almost too monstrous and
sickening for human credulty. Never ill
the case below has such an exhibition Of
SLOW, ;Orturous and systematic child murder
been brought to light in our State At the
present term Of the Criminal Court at
Knoxville negro woman was tried for the
murder of her child. The verdict of 'tmur-
der il the first degree without mitigating
circumstances, found by the jury, furn-
ishes some Of the most sickening details of
cruelty. O8e witness testified that the
child was tied up In bag and confined in
the chimney near the fire until nearly suf-
located, then placed in front of the fire
until be flesh on its back was literally
roasted. Afterwards it was left to run
without clothing (the burns were SO sore
that il could not bear clothing on its back
until lis sores became infiamed and death
put an end to its suferings. Other wit
nesses testified to the systematic cruelty
with which this woman habitually treated
the child. The horrible barbarity with
which the more abandoned of the colored
people treat little children, oftentimes their
own, calls loudly for reform.
A new trial has been granted in this
case, but it is to be hoped that this woman
may no escape the punishment she de-
serves. Too little concern has heretofore
been given to affairs of this kind
a Negro BOY Hung at Cleveland.
On Friday last, about midnight, a party
OF twenty five disguised men went to the
jail Of Bradley county, at Cleveland, took
from it negro, nineteen years of age,
carried him to the old fair ground, one and
a quarter miles south of Cleveland, and
huug him. The negro had been commit
ted TO the jail about ten days ago for at
tempting to outrage a young white girl,
and cutting her in the throat with knife.

HPUF A HEAD ON HIM.,

A correspondent of the Providence
Journal attempts to show the origin of
the cant phrase, ''Put a head on him"
10 1868, he says, he was corporal of the
first relief on a certain cavalry packet,
and in posting his men, heard from the
corporal of the relief then on post, aqueer
story, to the effect that the sentinel on
one of the pests, which happened to be
near an old grave, had been hor-
ribly perturbed by the appearance
before him in the dead hour of night, of
q man on horseback without q head. To
Jones, the man whom the Journals cor
respondent was to station at this post, the
tale was duly told, and then, adds the
correspondent, Lookout for the man on
horseback without any head on" Jones
replied between whiffs, ''Wel, if a man
on horseback without any head on comes
around me, I'll put head on him."

ALONG BRANCH STORY.

They have very nice people over at the
Rowland House. They are the cream of
Philadelphia society, but some of them
do very queer things An affair has jus.
leaked out which is little out of the
way of the best regulated families. l
am sorry to bring an action against one
of my own sex. The curiosity of Eve
brought all the trouble we have in this
world upon US, and from that day to this
nothing stops woman when her curiosi-
ty is once up, especially if she is curious
to know something about herself, her
husband, or her lover. Olly hold q
secret in your hand, and it's like
bunch of catnip to cat, size
viii jump, frisk and frolic around,
and never give over purring until she gets
it. The story is this: A husband was in
the habit of visiting Chsmberlain's Cot.
tage, which is the resort of a great many
fashionable gentlemen. The wife heard
some way that he was fairly enchanted
by the game, and was q heavy loser
Woman's curiosity was exercised to see
the game herself, and by some device to
cure him Of his passion. She broached
the matter to her brother, but he could
suggest no way. She made a cOntidant
of lady friend, who proposed they
should visit the house, and confront the
husband at the table.
For week and more the subject was
grsvely considered, when it was resolved
that they should disguise themselves in
gentlemen's clothes. How to do that was
the next thing. The lady's brother was
obliged to leave in day or two for Phila-
delphis On business. He left, and having
the key to his room, the ladies soon found
the wardrobe desired. Disguised as two
fashionable young men, they entered
Chamberlain's splendid saloon about
10 o'clock in the evening. FOrtu-
nately for them quite d crowd of
persons were surrounding the tables.
The lady took position so as to lSok her
husband full in the face. Throwing down
a ten dollar bill, she said: "Ten dollars
on the red" The husband, whose mind
was so intent on the game, had not been
attracted by the new corners until he
heard the voice. When he raised his
head be saw it was his wife. With Won
derful self-oOmpOsure, he settled his &C
count and left the house. The lady won
the first turn, and following the example
of her husband, left, as che came 10, with
her companion, unnoticed. She jJined
her husband, for he was in waiting for
her outside. l have only to say that he
was deeply mortified, and promised TO
turn over new leaf. Woman's cuios-
ity, you see, has dore some good.

The East Division Fair.

We learn from the Knoxville Press and
Herald of the goth inst, that the show of
stock at the coming Fair promises to be
larger and of better quality than has ever
before been exhibited here. Especially is
this true of cattle, sheep and hogs. We
have already learned of several herds of
Attorneys and Short Horns, imported by
some of the more enterprising of our agri-
cultuIists, that are certain to be on the
ground. Sheep will be exhibited that
have successfully competed for prizes
both in this country and Europe.
Several fine pens CT imported swine
have recently arrived and will be on the
ground. An effort is now being made,
with a fair prospect of success, to bring
here during the Fair some of the finest
blooded horses in America. In any event
the display in this line will far exceed in
interest that of former years. Whilst in
creased attention is being given to stock,
the other interests of the country have not
been neglected. 1t is expected that the
show Of machinery, Implements, crops,
flowers, and the thousand productions Of
the fair daughters of East Tennessee, will
of themselves be an attraction sufficient to
induce a multitude of visitors.
