sUGGEsrr0N:

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Gentlemen: There is matter Of import
ance to fartters, as wei as to others, that
needs to be brought bef0rs She Legislature
as much as some other matters that are IN
troduced 10 that august body. l refer to
the common nuisance of pasturing every
description of stock upon the highways Of
the country. Tie subject might be reached
under the heading of aBill to prevent cru
city to animals, and compel their owners
to treat them with some degree Of mercy,
as well as keeping their neighbors from be-
ing damaged by their tinftIiy stock. To
day, in ride of less than two niles,
counted more than dozen head of horses
and cattle, Owned by men who call them
selves farmers,) out upon the high
way hunting grass under the snow or try
ing to warm themselves behind the fence on
the roadside. If law was passed prohi-
biting all stock from the highways II would
benefit the community at large.
Stock thus treated (pasrlred on the
roads) get hungry and break into corn fields
and wheat fields and the farmers thus
damaged are liable to further damages I'M
der the plea of unlawful fences, when in
fact it is unlawful pasturing, Cor ought to
be- Suppose you call the. attention Of Col.
Z. to this matter; perhaps he can create a
new order of thing upon the roads as well
as upon the faIms. Yours very respectfully.

Louisville and Nashville Railroad.

The annual report of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1871, making a pamphlet Of 204
pages, has just been issued from the press.
The Louisville Commercial thus refers
to it 4:
1t will be of popular interest to state that
the net earnings of the road, and the branch
es owned by it, for the fiscal year footed up
81, 054, $3.50, of which sum 1851, 651. 46
was expended for additional rolling stock,
leaving a surplus of S492, 948.10. The
Richmond branch was operated at total
loss of S11,55T.96. The length Of road
owned by the company is 1924
miles. The lines leased up to June
80, 1871, were 223.09 miles, making the
total length of line operated by the compa-
ny 615.54 miles. The total earnings Of the
whole line owned and leased by the COM
pany for the fiscal year amounted to 81, 1854,
025.23. The total expenses, not including
additional stock, building and grounds,
amounted to $3,27S, 355.3S. On all the lines
operated by the company the increase in
gross earnings has been 9.61 per cent, and
in expenditures 1856 per cent, resulting in
a decrease Of the net earnings of 4.95 per
cent.
In an appendix the contracts with the
Nashville and Decatur and the North and
South Alabama Roads are furnished, and
We have the agreeable promise that by Sept.
l, 1872, the cars will run through, without
change, from Louisville to Montgomery, q
distance of 400 miles,

Agricultural Congress.

The recent Agricultural Congress which
was held in Selma, Alabama, on the 9th,
9th and 18th insts., was, in point of intelli-
gence and public spirit equal to any DELHI
erative body that has sat in the South since
the war. Valuable papers were read by
members on rice, cattle, bees, immigration,
etc, which will in short time be printed
in the journal of proceedings. Gen. W. 81.
Jackson, Gov. Patton and J. B. Killebrew
having been delegated by the Nashville Ag-
ricultural Association to attend the Agricul-
tural Congress, for the purpose Of effecting,
if possible, a consolidation Of the two, put.
themselves in communication with the
Congress on the 9th inst, and were invited
to take seats upon the floor. On the same
evening Gen. Jackson spoke the sense
of the committee and made proposition to
the Congress to meet with the National
Agricultural Association on the fourth Mon
day Of May next, at st. Louis, and then and
there consider the proposition for a CONSOLE
dation. A committee was appointed to act
on the matter with Gen. Hardee as chair
man, who unanimously recommended to
the Congress that it meet the National As
ISOLATION at st. Louis at the time designa-
ted. The report Of the committee was
unanimously concurred in by the Congress,
and there is scarcely a doubt that the two
organizations will be united.
The following is the report of the COM
mittee as copied from the proceedings:
4. "The committee appointed to consider
the propositions made to this body by the
delegates from the National Agricultural
Association, which recently met in Nash
vile, beg respectfully to report that they
unanimously recommend in accordance
with the suggestions of the aforesaid dele
cation, that when this Congress adjourns it
shall adjourn to meet in st. Louis, Mo-,
on the fourth Monday in May next, at
which time and place, the question Of a
fusion of the two bodies, may be discussed
and determined. "W. J. HARDEE.
Chairman"
On motion of Mr.. Sheppard the report
was received and coucurTed in unani-
mously.
It is earnestly desired by the members of
both Associations that as many of the mem
bers as possible shall be present on that
occasion, and that steps may be taken by
the united Association to forward the great
mineral development of the country, as well
as to collect and disseminate valuable in
formation in relation to the agricultural and
mineral interest Of the whole country.

THE PENNSYLVANIA CENTRAL
.stilI Gathering Them In"

A rumor prevailed in the city yesterday
that the Memphis and Charleston Railroad
had been leased to the Pennsylvania Cen
trail. The following dispatchfrom Memphis
to the Louisville Ledger indicates that there
is something in it:
There is considerable excitement in the
local stock market over a well-authenti-
Gated rumor that Thomas A. Scott had
completed arrangements for the lease of the
Memphis and Charleston road. A promi-
nent director of that company stated to-
night that it only required the ratification of
the stockholders to complete the arrange
ments, and that meeting for that purpose
will be called in a few days. On the
strength of the rumor the price Of the stock
Of that road advanced to-day from 81 to 40,
and tomorrow it will, under the excite
ment, likely go to As.
1t is also stated that the Pennsylvania
road will bridge the Mississippi here, and
extend the Little Rock Railroad to Texas,
and perhaps build the Southern Pacific
road.
Since the above was in type, the follow
ing dispatch from Memphis last night has
been received;
MEMPHIS, Dec. S.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad has leased Memphis and Charles
ton Railroad for forty-five years, guarantee
ing three per cent for first five years, then
six per cent. The question of the lease will
be submitted to the stockholders.

How Our Delegation was Received by
Evansville Merchants.
A large delegation from Evansville on
Wednesday last took passage on the steam
ef Fayette and proceeded to Henderson
where they met the Nashville excursionists
on their way TO st. Louis. Upon the arri-
val Of the train and the transfer Of Passen-
gers to the steamer, Mr.. j. Z. Williamson,
on behalf Of the Evansville delegation, de-
livered an address of welcome to the Nash
vile representatives, to which Col. F. P.
Cahill, of this city, responded as follows;
Gentlemen Of the Evansville delegation and citi-
zens Of Henderson,
self, return thanks to you for this cordial
welcome--the more highly appreciated by
US because unexpected. We have had a
rather tiresome, but on the WHOLE a very
pleasant trip SO far, and from the warm
welcome now received, we are satisfied it
will be pleasant to the end. The cities Of
Evansville, Henderson and Nashville are
now united with iron bands, so that we be
indeed neighbors; but it is our wish and
our purpose to be united yet more firmly in
those affections which well up from the
heart. We hope to meet often, and to cnl-
tivate those intimate business and social re-
lations which will make us one people, OF
one heart and feeling, having common in
terests. Such is our purpose, gentlemen,
and the warm reception you have given us
is the best evidence we could have that your
hearts beat in unison with ours.
1t will afford US much pleasure, gentle
men, 10 visit Evansville, and tarry awhile
with you on our return from st. Louis, if If
is possible for us to arrange our time so as
to do so. Again thank you for your kind
reception.

THE wEDDING BING.

In Swinburn's "Treatiss of SpouSals,"
we read, that ''the first inventor of the
wedding ring, as is reported, was one Pro-
metheus. The workman who made il was
Tubal- Cain, who, by the counsel Of our first
parent Adam, gave it to his son TO this end +,
that here,rith he should spouse a wife, like
as Abraham delivered unto his servants
bracelets and earrings of god.," The form
of the ring being circular and without end,
which importeth much, shows that their
mutual love and hearty affection should
roundly flow from the one to the other as IN
a circle, and that continually and forever.
Marriages are recorded to have been eele-
brated without the ring, and key substl-
t1ted for it and sometimes ring Of leath-
er cut transversely from a finger Of the
backgrounds glove; these though, were
generally for hurried and clandestine mar
RACES, when there had been no time nor
thought for the ring. Respecting the sub
stitution of the church key for the wedding
ring know some who were assured by an
aged inhabitant of rural parish not hun
dred miles from Colchester, that as late as
twenty-five years ago, a marriage was cele-
brated in the parish church with the key
instead of the ring. The clerk Of the said
parish testified to the above, and gave an
instance of party that came to the church
and requested to be married with the church
key. 1t is called "a parish wedding" and
the parochial authorities, though willing to
pay the church fees, because "they were
glad to get rid of the girl had not felt dis
posed to furnish the wedding-ring. The
clerk stated, however, that feeling some
hesitation as to the substitution of the
church key in his own church, he stepped
into the house close by, and there borrowed
an old curtain ring, with which the mar
rage was solemnized. The beautiful Miss
Cunning was married to the Duke ofHam-
ilton with curtain rings, james Ao0-
dzize.

A Pleasant Ra.nnion.

Hemphill's dining hall was last night the
scene of a most agreeable entertainment and
happy reunion. The courteous and sc-
commodating proprietor has received lib
eral patronage from numerous friends in
the Legislature, and he was determined
not to let the session close without show
ing his appreciation of the frequent kind
nesses bestowed upon him, and carrying
out his intentions, he extended an invita-
ton last night to meet him around the fes-
tive board. The gay company assembled
in the reception room about II O'Clock,
where half hour was spent in pleasant
conversation. The folding doors were
thrown open, and the invited guests ushered
into the adjoining room, where table
groaning under the weight of choice viands,
including substantials and delicacies, and in
fact variety of the good things stood
temptingly before them. No time was lost
by those present in surrounding the festive
board. The inner man was bounti!ullv
supplied, when wit and repartee followed,
and an hour or more was spent in the hap
piest manner. Before leaving the host was
toasted, and all wished that he might live
long and prosper, particularly under the
new partnership" Mr.. Hemphill acknow-
lodged the complimentary mention, and
opened his batteries on the gentleman from
the hunting grounds at the foot of the
mountain. 1t was late when the party re-
tired, but all promised TO return TO his
headquarters at an early Day by the Hen
derson narrow gauge railway, provided
Barkis Is willing, and they think she is.
