Railroad Meeting.

A number of our citizens, friends
alike of the Jackson and Memphis
and Memphis and Knoxville Air
Line Railroad, met at Whiteville,
TenH., on Saturday the 9th ofApril.
Hon. w. NJ. Johnson was called to
the chair, and DR.. J. S. Robertson
elected Secretary. At the request
of the chairman, DR.. Robertson ex-
planned the object of the meeting.
The following resolutions were Of
fered by Rey. w. NJ. Norment, and
unanimously adopted.
Personal views and preferences
should be compromised for the &C
complishment of public good. And,
whereas, the building of the Mem
phis and Knoxville Air Line and
Memphis and Jackson Railroad,
would in degree develop the re-
sources of the entire State, as well
as the immediate sections through
which they pass. And, whereas,
said Roads cannot be built and own
ed by our citizens along the lines
only by cooperation, therefore
Resolved, That we heartily en-
dOrse the building of both roads.
Resolved, That no spirit of rival
rY should be cultivated or INDUCED
by the leaders OF either contemplat-
ed road, that would lead to defeat
the other.
Resolved, That one road from the
Fayette county line or some point
east OF said county line via Somer-
willie to Memphis, would meet the
wants of the people of Fayette
county, and would assure to the
benefits of both companies, and
farther the charter for the Memphis
and Knoxville Air Line having been
perfected, and said company duly
organized by the election OF a Pres
ident and Board of Directors.
Resolved, That a committee OF
FIVE be appointed by this meeting to
confer with the President and Di-
rectors of said road, and know up
on what terms they will grant to the
Memphis and Jackson Company the
use of their road when built from
the point of junction to Memphis,
or what guarantee they will give of
such character as would encourage
the building of said jackson road.
Resolved, That it is our firm cen
viction that the interest of the Mem
phis and Knoxville Air Line Road
would be enhanced by the junction
as above intimated, under such
agreement and regulations. as would
in no way detract from the charac-
ter or material interest of the Jack
son Road.
Resolved, That the result of this
conference be reported TO the COM
missioners of the Jackson Road.
Resolved, That each and every
citizen should encourage the build
ing of both roads, by furnishing all
the material aid in their power.
Resolved, That a notice of this
meeting aud its action be furnished
the Bolivar BUlletia, Memphis and
Jackson papers.
The chairman appointed DIR. j. S.
Robertson, VIM. NJ. NOrment, Col.
q. w. Hardin, Maj. r. d. Cross and
John Allen committee, as cOntem-
plated in above resolutions. On
motion of Thompson Allen, the
chairman was added to the commit
tee. After remarks by several citi-
zens fully endorsing the sense of the
resolutions, the meeting adjourned
to meet again on Saturday the 18th
of May. J. S. ROBERTSON, Sec'y.

DEFINING ITS POSITION.

The New York Herald having
limited that the Mobile Register is
"onsartin," and one day Winks at
the Democracy supporting judge
Davis, and the next cries ''keep the
flag up" Colonel Forsythe pithily
replies, as might every true Demo
crat and true man:
"The Democratic party is at pres
ent an army of observation, and the
Register is one of its faithful senti-
nels. When the time comes to
strike, the Herald will find nothing
"onsartin" in the position or the
conduct of the Register. 1t will be
with the party of the constitution,
whether the latter shall attack in
front, flank or rear, whether as q
sole and independent power, or as
an ally of other political forces bent
like itself upon the destruction OF
the monster Of tyranny and corrup-
ton that sits enthroned in its office
holders camp at Washington. The
Herald is never "onsartin." Ascer-
tain the highest bidder, and the at
titude of tie Herald can always be
fixed Grant as, and is likely to be,
the highest bidder: and so the Her
aid will probably "stick," and suffer
the modification of finding itself on
the losing side next fall. When the
Herald undertakes to lecture on
consistency and principle we have a
counterpart of the devil quoting
scripture"

The Burial of Col. Gibson,

Some controversy having sprung
up in regard to the place OF burial
of Col. Gibson, one of the pioneers
of this county, our venerable fellow
citizen, Mr.. Jesse Russell, at the re-
quest of Alderman B. j. Sneed, of
this city, has written the following,
as his recollection OF the affair. Mr..
SHeed recently met a grandson Of
Col. Gibson on the train, and the
gentleman finding Mr.. Sneed was of
this city, made some inquiry about
the burial place of his grand father.
Here is Mr.. Russell's letter.
JACKSON, May End, 1872.
Having been requested to state
the circumstances attending the bu-
rial OF Col. Gibson in this place, and
anything connected Herewith, to
period of nearly half a century, j
will state that moved to this place
the list of January, 1928, being then
twenty years of age. Col. Gibson
then lived about three miles North
of town, and died shortly after l
came here. l had no personal ac-
quaintance with him, as he seldom
visited tOwn-in fact he died. l think
in the Summer of 1928. When the
news Of his death was announced,
there being several soldiers living
here, of the war of 1872, they de-
termined to bury him with the hon
ors OF war. l volunteered as one to
make up the company. We went
out what is now Market street and
waited until the heaTse bearing his
corpse arrived, and we fell in be-
hind. His horse was next to the
hearse, having on saddle and bride,
with holsters and pistols, his boots
in the stirrups with spurs upon
them, and some kind of garment
perhaps an oVercoat-tied on behind
the saddle. The horse was led by
some person. His remains were
conveyed TO a burying ground
Northwest of town. l think the
first settlers were buried there be-
fore the town was laid off. We fired
our guns over the grave. | do not
recollect whether his spurs were
buried with him or not.
Two or three years afterwards
the citizens thinking it not suita-
bic place for burying ground, Sc
lected another, southwest of town,
and several had their friends re-
moved thereto. Whether the re-
mains of Col. Gibson were removed,
l do not recollect, if ever knew.
! After changing owners several
times, the first graveyard was used
as a brickyard, and several bones
were dug up and deposited in the
present cemetery. Col. Gibson's
friends may have had his remains
removed, but, as before stated, 1 do
not recollect. If they did not, his
remains now repose in the present
cemetery among others, and could
not be distinguished. l have made
inquiries, but can learn nothing
about his remains more than l have
stated from my personal knowl-
edge. JESSE RUSSELL, sR.

HOrsemen Dash into q Kentucky
Town in Daylight, Rob n Bank
ana Murder a Cashier.
The Town for a Time at Their
Mercy---Escape OF Jhe ScOun-
droIn and Pursuit.

LOUISVILLE, April SOY ester
day evening about 2 o'clock five men
mounted on splendid horses dashed
into the town of Columbia, Ken
lucky, stopped and dismounted at
the Deposit bank. Two men with
pistols in their hands held their
horses while three with drawn re-
volvers entered the bank. Four
men, including the cashier, a men,
Der of the Legislature, Jas. Garnet,
were in the bank. The men de-
manded the keys Of the safe, and
one of them attempted to shoot Mr..
Garnet, but the latter knocked up
the pistol, the explosion of which
burned his head. AL of the gen.
tlemen escaped except the cashier,
who stood at his post, refusing, I'M
der the most fearful threats, to I'M
lock the safe. One of the scoun-
drels shot him dead and the party
commenced to pillage the bank OF
all the money outside of the safe,
which they could not open. Mean
while the two men outside fired
their pistols in ali directions, driv-
ing every body OF.
The raid was so sudden and unex-
pected and short, that The town
seemed panic stricken until the rob-
bers mounted their horses and
dashed out of the town. The citi-
zens Immediately organized a pur-
suit and at last accounts were gain
ing rapidly on the fugitives.
The amount of money secured is
not supposed to be large. Mr.. Mar
tin, the cashier, was a gentleman of
high character, and his violent death
is deeply regretted.
Great excitement prevails in the
country over the outrage, and the
robbers will probably be lynched on
the spot if captured.

HOW We Used 40 be Physicked.
Who docs not remember the time when
spring purgation WAS considered indispen-
sable to summer healths No matter for
Wry faces, the inevitable salts and SIENNA,
rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must be ad-
ministered. These "sprins medicines" the
younsters were told, were TO keep them
hale and hearty during the summer. We
all know now that this was faIlacy; that
new yigor, not depletion, il what is re-
quired at the commencement OF the sum-
mer solstice. As preparation for the en-
ervating effects OF oppressive summer
weather, course OF Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is highly expedient. This famous
vegetable preparation has three prominent
properties: Itrcnovates, purifes and regu-
lates all the functions OF the body. 1t is
composed exclusively Of pure vegetable
productions, viz: the essential principle OF
Monongahela Rye, and the most efficaciouS
tonic and alterstiEe roots, barks and gums
known to medical botanists. Hence, il is
an absolutely safe medicine, and no tine
ture Of the PharmacopeIa can compare
with il either in purity, or in the variety Of
its objects and its comprehensive results
Happily for mankind, the theory that it
was necessary to PROSTATE the patient in
order 10 cure him, is forever exploded,
and the true philosophical doctrine, that
vlgor is the great antagonist Of disease, has
taken its place. HOstetter's Bitters is an
inviSorant, and hence it is the proper medi-
cine for the feeble at this most trying sea-
son Of the year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine ar
tiele, as there are innumerable vile imits-
tions in the market Look to the ornament
al stamp, the engraved label, and the name
blown into the glass. Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is sold in bottles only.

FOOLISH.

Some of our brethren of the press
in this State are allowing them
selves to become excited about the
nominee of the State Convention,
which comes off next week, at Nash
vile. Some vehemently urging the
denomination Of Gov. Brown and
others the nomination Of General
Cheatham. They are both good
men-either would administer the
affairs of State with ability and we
fail to perceive any necessity for
any elimination or recrimination in
regard to the matter. The nomiua-
ton is equivalent to an election
the people only ratify at the ballot
box what the leaders cut out for
them in Convention and the poor,
helpless people had just as well take
the matter easy, aud not become ex-
cited over a matter they have no
control over.

We nave cheering news from Fa-
yette county, in regard to the Mem
phis and Jackson railroad. Some
of the most Influential and enterDri-
sing citizens of that county are ia
king an active interestin urging for
ward this enterprise. 1t is now GER
tain that whenever this road is gra-
ded to the Fayette line, the people
of that county will extend it through
that county without decay. The i'm
preston prevails that the road will
be built through Oakland and Hick-
DRY Wythe, in the direction ofBart-
lett or Raleigh. One of the best ed
ucational points in west Tennessee,
when this road is built, will be the
village of Hickory Wythe, where
there are five schools and churches.
All that is needed to make it one of
the most desirable places within
reach of Memphis. for country resi-
dences, being, as it is, noted for
healthfulness and fine water, is to Sc
cure the Memphis and Jackson road.
With the feeling that now prevails
in Madison, Hardeman and Fayette
counties, we may rest assured that
this road will soon be put under
contract, with every prospect of an
early completiOn.-APpeGL.

CHEATHAM.
The Gallant General RetIreS from
Ihe GubernatOrial COnIest.

NASHVILLE, April 29. = General
Cheatham publishes the following
card:
To THE PEOPLE OF TENNESSEE
In the card declaring myself a can
didate for Governor, it was stated
that had applied to the Executive
Committee to postpone the Conven-
ton of the ninth of May to such a
time as would enable me to canvass
the State, and time which would
enable that body fairly and fully to
reflect the party will and wishes in
the selection Of candidate. This
request, in the judgment of my
friends and myself, was so right in
principle, and, at this juncture, so
proper to party expediency, that l
confidently trusted it would, for
these reasons, have been conceded
to. The reply of the Chairman of
the committee, and his announce
ment through the Union and Amer
IcaR of the 29th instant, not only
expresses a total unWillingness to
allow the request, which, to Impair
tial judgments, may seem as impOr-
tant to the party as to my own in
dividual interest, but renders it also
conclusive to my mind that no eff
forts on the part of my friends will
avail to procure postponemeut of
the nomination. Under these con-
ditions feel constrained to decline
any further contest for the Office of
Governor. The many friends who
have rendered me their support well
know l am sincere in returning
heartfelt thanks for their kindness.
