twenty five counties; twelve of which are
now destitute Of railroad facilities. Ii
viii pass through, or very near to no less
than twelve county towns; all within the
State of Tennessee. 1t will connect the
coal regions Of East Tennessee with the

land bordering on TIE Mississippi and

The Memphis and Knoxville narrow

from Memphis TO Knoxville and to East

freight and passengers cheaper than

More Grant Politicians Leaving the
Sinking Ship. ....

The New York HeraIds Washington
correspondence contains the following:
A few days ago, while Sc nator SUM
ner was preparing his letter indorsing
Greeley, he remarked to friend that it
would not be many days before promi--
nent Republicans would declare for
Greeley The detection Of General
Banks, formally announced to>day, was
not wholly unexpected; but his letter Is
commented upon among 0 ihcial far more
than the letter of Senator Sumner, and
it Is freely admitted by the finest friends
OF the President that the aVowed prefer
ence OF Banks for Greeley viii have great
influence against the Republican party
throughout the country. Among those
IN Washington more intimate with Mr.
Banks status at home, and they are not
a few, it's said that / is political prestige
Is declining, and 1t is doubtful whether
he could receive a denomination for Con
eress. Hence this coup d efat on the
part Of Banks. Yet, while admitting
tins fact they do not deny his national
reputation his prominence in Congress;
and whatever may be his home quarrels,
OF these the people at large know nothr
Ing. With them he is as great as ever
1t has been known for some time that
Mr., Banks was only one of a nzm5er Of
leading Congressman who were personal
ly opposed to the re election OF Presi-
dent Grant. 1t Is asserted that Congress-
men BuHnton Hooper, Dawes. and But
Ter, Banks colleagues in the House, are
personally opposed to Grant, and may
follow the latter's example Garfield, Of
Ohio, Is also on the list Of disahected,
and It Is said that he accepted the COM
mission to visit Montana to remove the
Flathead Indians IN order to escape the
issues Of the campaign. Kelley, of Penn~
sylyania, Is among the number claimed
for Greeley by the Liberal Executive
Committee.

DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.


There are in the South a few Demo.
Gratis who are hesitating as to the path
of duty. Among them, we do not class
those very few who have long been smell
ing out for an opportunity to- turn over
to the party in kower in the hope Of
finding place or Office and profit thereby.
The sooner the Democracy! can meet
these last as open opponents, the better
1t Will be for the success of the party.
But we mean the honest Democrats
who are hesitating and warn them to be-
ware of the movement now on foot to
hold convention at Louisville on the
Sd Of September next. it has not force
or power enough to give it responsibility.
1t has been projected and is being man~
aged and engineered by q set of imprac :
ticables--men whose teachings have
brought untold woes upon the South,
and who would rather have Grant elected
than to see concord and good governs
N ent under Greeley. And we have No
a doubt that Grant and his strikers are
deeper in this movement than the world
will ever know.
Remember Democrats, that this move
ment is active aid to Grant, whether so
intended or not Remembers that every
Democrat who refuses to vote at all, gives
aid to Grant, because his vote would
help to defeat him.
Remember that our true line of duty
now, is to eject Greeley, and thereby
show that the public veal is the moving
spirit which actuates our party.
it is now Greeley or Grant The last
pr omised peace and has given you per-
petual war upon your liberties.
MIR. Greeley promised YOU nothing,
and yet since 1865, has done moro for
the Southern people than any other
man in the United States And be stands
now upon platform which will bring
back the golden age OF tie re public.
Therefore let no Democrat for one mo.
ment hesitate to give him an active sup

AlY DEAR SIR-I was gratifed to re-
ceive yours Of the 23d inst, which come
this morning. shall always remem-
Der you as my best and truest friend,
In reply to your inquiries about my
present views Of politics, must say that
! retain all the Democratic principles
which previously advocated. 1t is how
ever, probable, that you and might diff
fer somewhat as to the application to the
present circumstances of the country
1 was opposed to the views of the South
during the recent civil war, and sus
tanned the government in all proper
measures to maintain its authority.
Since the close of the war | have been
in favor OF cancellation ard universal
amnesty. AT the last Democratic con-
vention, On July 1859 was anxious
for the nomination Of Chief Justice
Chase, although l was not q delegate, l
attended the convention and endeavored
to aid in the nomination Of a man likely
to succeed. twas not merely for the
particular individual named that de-
sired the nomination, but because
knew that it was absolutely necessary
for the Democratic party to modify its
position and platform according to the
condition Of the country and the new
questions necessary arising.
The Democrats will meet in conven-
ton next week at Baltimore. In my
judgement the best thing they can do,
will be to concur in the nomination Of
Mr.. Greeley. If they do this, shall
heartily go with them. If they do not,
1T viii be wholly useless to make any eff
fort whatever, and shall take no inter-
est in the contest Mr.. Greeley is lot the
man | would have elected by any means;
but be is universally admitted to be hon-
est and capable With these qualities,
the pa rtieular man is of little conse-
quence. The great point is, to place the
Democratic party in position that will
give it a chance to succeed, and at the
same time to do service to the country.
Such, in brief, is my view OF the pre-
sent state Of affairs. am glad to see
that the Democrats Of Tennessee are very
generally taking a similar view of the
political situation. 1t will be a matter
of special qualification to me to find my
self in accord with my old friends and
supporters, among whom | have always
esteemed you as one of the best anC
most valued
