OLD HYMNS.

The Journal Of Commerce has an in.-res'in.
ticle on the snggcsiiven.ss of old hymns. Three
persons are represented as convcrsins together
in library, and their talk goes on as follows:
DocTOR.-An old hymn is great thing. What
voices have sung it! An old hymn book is sug-
gestive. What emotion IL bears record of, I'm
not much of a literary man, and when get an
hours leisure from the pains and suffcrings that
occupy my life, very often find rest in reading
old hymns. 1t is only once in great while that
have sensation. I've almost outgrown sensa-
tons. When was fifty years old, thought it
over, and concluded that my profession had worn
ont the sensational possibilities of my soul. But
an old hymn to an old tune convinced ME l was
mistaken. Last Sunday morning was driving
my morning round, my mind intent on n
of surgery that had kept me mp all night. was
passing Presbyterian church, in some street,
when heard strain of familiar music, and
pulled up short, just in time to catch the last
words of verse in the hymn they were singing.
Why, Phillips, they speak Of the war horse star
ting at the sound of the trumpet, so my old heart
started at the sound of the hymn and music.
PHILIJPs-I understand You: Once l was
walking listessy of a Sunday afternoon through
the streets of Cairo, the heart of the ORR
ent to this day, as in the days of the Caliphs. l
came accidentally near the house where some
Scotch missionaries reside, and where they and
their families were holding service Out on the
strange atmosphere of the old city. whose every
stone and lattice, and whose very sky were niys-
terious, old and incompreliensible, foated with

defence will Justify the censure which
the Tirgiaidn former article cast
upon Gen. Malone for the establish
mcnt Of bis local express The stock
holders themselves did order Gen.
Malone to do this very thing and Mr..
Barr, one Of those stockholders, may
have voted against it. but if he did,
we failed to hear him, for we were
present anG did not hear a dissenting
voice. IF those Who built the road
parted with their stock they parted
with their rights as stockholders, and
the owners of the road have a right
to dictate its policy. Toward Mr.
Barr we mean nothing "unkind - or
disrespectful. and VIC checrfully ac-
quit him ofhaving written the resolu-
ton. Our information was deemed
good but was wrong But if Mr..
Barr means to assert the right for
him SO crit;cise and condemn a Ger
tain policy, he should concede to the
friends of that policy the right to de-
fcnd it, We did not assert that tie
article in the IIlyinian was in any
sense offensive, but we simply claimed
the right-and The free right-to meet
him on any disputed point.

The continued detection of Mr.
Alexander II, Sterhens, is a thing
to be expected. For the man to
hold his tongue, while the great
wheel Of progress rcvolves above him
would be 4 thing Of milIenial pro-
pitiousness, wholly unsuited to dis
jointed times. When slavery with
her thousand tongues. called upon
tho gods to lend her the sword Of rev.
olution, the ambiguous language and
half way course Of this man, did US
only evil and that continually. Du-
ring the last stage of the late war,
he broke the continuity of Southern
sentiment, and gave color to the
northern assertion that we were n di-
vided people. When slavery had
died and rebellion had surrendered
he wrote the leaden pages of his
''war between the States" to place
upon their amputated legs, the impos-

doned bitches a disastrous struggle.

Sun, and as the Elijah of the South,
undertook to burn with the fires Of
his limited heaven the sacrifice which
brave hearts and wiser heads had
laid upon the altar of tortured pcO-
pie. Now, when in the progress Of a

I noticed in your paper OF
this date, the following paragraph:
"The Abingdon VIRGIXIAS seems to CEN
sure Gen. Mahone's express" policy.
VIII Mr.. Barr, one of its Editors please tC
state whether lie did, or did not at the last

holders" or at any other meeting of
the Stockholders in regard to "Gen.
MahOne's Express policy"
The article to which the NIclrS refers
is one that no one can take any exceD-
ton to. There was much complaint
about Gen. Mahone's Express poll
cy," and the editors of the F5rginiajl
claimed the right, which they eXcrcis-
ed to give an expression of the public
dissatisfaction. and they challenge the
editor of the NcJcs to give an excep-
tional word in the editorial of the

Do me the kindness to give place to
this note, in vindication of myself

COvington and Cumberland Cav rail-
road. This road is intended to run
from Falmoth or Paris, on the Ken
lucky Central railroad, via Mt.
Sterling and the three Forks of Ken
lucky river, to Cumberland Gap: 1t
will, if built pass through rich lumber
and mineral region, opening up a
source of almost eXhaustless surply of
these valuable materials. 1t will run
through coal, iron and salt deposits for
about one hundred miles, and will pass
beyond these only To strikea railroad
center at Cumberland Gap, from which
there are lines now in course of con-
struction which diverge to almost every
part Of the South.
This object strikes us as Cincinpati's
best chance for her long-desired South
ern railroad connections. We should
like to see it carried out, for several
reasons. In the first place, it would
develOpe one of the richest mineral re-
gions Kentucky, and what are nowal-
most pauper counties would eventually
take rank among the wealthiest coun-
ties in the state. In the second place.
we should be in position to derive ali
the advantage we desired from the con-
struction Of the line. We would tan
it at Paris and at Mt. Sterling: and
when the Lexington and Big Sandy
branch is built from Schollsville. TO
the Red River Ironworks, brief pro-
longation OF that branch would tap it
at its richest mineral fields; and again,
when the Knoxville branch of the
Nashville road is extended 10 Cumber.
land Gap, we would tap the Cincinnati
road fourth time. We are, therefore,
interested in the success of the enter
prise upon selfish as as we'll a. general
grounds; and sliall watch its progress
with some degree of solici;nlc.-
