TIE downright refusal of portion
of the Washington delegation, to cast
even a complimentary vote for Col.
Dunn, is matter which every other
County in the District has already
stamped with disapproval. We have
TO idea they represented correctly
their constituency. As an act of H.
libcrality and discourtesy it stands
cOnspicuously alone, and we invite
attention to the fact, that the future
will stamp their want of wisdom at
making for themselves beds of roses
as but the sowing of Dragons teeth,
which they will probably have plenty
OF time TO repent of in the future.

The Abingdon town authorities
had employed a servant to wait upon
the Convention and to provide that
body with lights water &c. BY some
mistake, call was made upon the
delegates for a contribution FOR said
expenses. The authorities felt morti-
fed by the discovery which was made
too late for correction. It was their
intention to have paid every pub
lie expense connected with the Con-
yention.

As we expected. the news from
W. Va, favors the election of the in

defeat of the constitution. Ii has no
bearing or the presidential contest.
Jacob and Camden were both for
Greeley and Brown.

IneTcial Progress of Mems
pI.is.

The appended statement offacts tells
how rapidly the course ftrade is reyo-
lutionized by the consolidation of rail-
way lines. 1t is alsOshown that if Lou
isville would remain the funnel
through which the traffic and travel of
the South is emptied into Eastern
cities, there must he an air line Mem
phis and Louisville road and then one
single road will not suhserve the ueces-
stiles of commerce. All the wealth of
Arkansas going through Louisville
must come through Memphis, and
Louisville isquite rs deeply interested
in restricting the Western commercial
domains OF st. Louis as we ourselves.
Just now, as the Memphis and
Charleston and its connecting lines are
managed, the Southern trade of Louis
Vile, as affected by the shortness of
lines to New York, must seek it's way
east through Chattanooga and Bristol
The fact shows that it defies COMPETE
ton. Read this note, h
