aAnDE.GRAs AEDTHE BENEFIUENCE
nv ERRsPARERR


or REEsPAPERS.
Ii was on Sunday, the 31st of De
cembsr last, that the APPEAL devoted
two columns or more TO the %reproduc-
ton of DeLeon's inimitable history OF
associations in Mobile and New Or
leans that make Msrdi-G Bras festivities
attractive, and draw into those cities
vast numbers Of people from all pOr-
tons Of the South. The APPEAL
then proposed to inaugurate a like
system of harmless delights in Men,
phis. Mr.. Joseph Specht and Others
approved, and the press of the city
cOncurring, the scheme was set on foot
which resulted yesterday in the con-
vocation OF q vast multitude. The
purpose OF the APPEAL was simply 20
promote intercourse and feelings OF
good fellowship among the people, To
beget unity among diverse popula-
tons hitherto strangers 10 one al
other, to make men and women from
different parts of the country recog-
nize each Others virtues, induce
all to forget for one day at least
the snxieties and exsctions OF
business life, and redeeming this one
day in the year from cares and toll,
have il -cOnsecrated to the genius OF
fun and good fellowship. II this re-
suit have been accomplished, cur pur-
poses are attained, and the people owe
the press a debt OF gratitude" The
baser idea that the aggregation of a
multitude in the streets would cause
vast sums Of money to be expended
that would otherwise have been
lavished on other cities did not enter
into our calculations. Railroads, no
tells, merchants and shOpkeeper5 have
prOhted as an incident of the celebra-
ton yesterday; but, since these are
incapable Of discovering the agency to
whi~h they are indebted for their
gsius, sud the press could derive no
pecuniary advantage from the win
Dfngs OF dadespeople, it cannot be
alleged that the press was actuated by
these sOrdid motives. The truth is,
we wished to see here on a bright
beautiful day, a was yesterday, the
the people Of this and adjacent States
as Joyous So the sunshine that shed its
genial warmth borne by soft winds,
anu lending unWOnted lustre to every
happy face. This once, at least, we
have been forgetful Of the woes that
for ten } ears past have OvershadOwed
the South. This end accomplished,
the APPEALS purposes have been
achieved. There may have been
cOstlier and more imposing ex-
hbiions on yesterday and last
night in Mobile and New Or
leans where the people are trained
and accustomed to the task of perfect
ing spectacular exhibitions; but not
elsewhere was there more bOundless
fun, and net elsewhere have the whole
people Of q city and country p%arIici-
pated more unrestrainedly in delights
OF an occasion OF this character.
Mardi-Gras, from this time forth, be-
comes as much an institution" Of
Memphis as Of cities of the Gulf
coast, and the deficiencies of yester-
Day viii be thoroughly remedied on
the MsTdi GrasS 1873.

CURIOus FACT

The merchants Of Memphis have
reason, just now, to recognize the po-
tency of the press. They have seen
thirty thousand people crowding cur
thoroughiares. Suppose any mer-
chant had caused bimselfto be adver-
tised in each article that has appeared
touching the exhibition of yesterdays
his name, at this hour, would be a
household word everywhere in this
and adjacent States and nothing less
than sublime folly, or knavery more
absurd, could prevent his unparalleled
success in money-making. Was there
ever such an illustration Of the value
of advertising as that furnished by
facts and incidents OF yesterday

NASHVILLE.
The Land Commissioner Tor Shelby-GeRe-
raj Battle. B. Helskil-The Ap.
peal in Nashville.

NASHVILLE, February 12.-It will
be a great source of pleasure to the
Memphis people who visit Nashville,
to know that they can purchase the
APPEAL at c. M. ThornbeTg's news
depot, opposite the Maxwell house,
on Church street. Heretofore a Mem
phis newspaper could not be had in
Nashville except at the newspaper
offices, where they come in exchange.
Mr.. Thornberg will keep the APPEAL
constantly on hand after Thursday,
10Th instant. Business is generally
quiet here, but not more so than at
any other point one thousand miles
from here. The capital grounds are
still undergoing thorough repairs and
improvements; when the JOB is hn-
ished the capital of Tennessee will be
second to none in the Union. General
Joel A. Bat lie, that prince of gentle
men known to every Tennesseean, is
in excellent health, and continues to.
run the Battle house successfully.
The supreme court is in session
daily and transaciing a deal of bust
ness. Judges Sneed, Freeman and
Turney are the pictures of health, and
give universal satisfaction. while the
balance Of the bench r equally e.
teemed. AttOTney-G General ]. B. Heis
kill is labOring faithfully, as has been
his lifelong custom. The cotton trade
here is smaller in proportion to Mem
phis than we even suppose.
On Saturday last the sales were 70
bales, while in Memphis the same day
some 1900 bales were sold at even
better prices.
One of the eXcitements at the
capital is the appointment of the diff
ferent land commissioners for each
count. There are numerous applica-
tons from each county; each ca1di-
is well backed up by his friends.
The governor, however, will not
make any appointment until the
comptroller copies the reports of the
different circuit court clerks, showing
the amount and specifying the lands
previously sold for taxes. The Office
of land commissioner in Shelby,
Davidson and a few other counties
through the State, will be a profitable
one. 1t is generally understood here
that the race for the appointment in
county is narrowed down be-
tween two worthy gentlemen, both
residents of Memphis. The friends
Of both are making the best fight
hey know how in the interest of
heir friend. Yours truly,
SHELBY,

n OF GIANTS.

The Southern Security Railway
company eve eonte nplsted the re-
striction Of its lines to the confines OF
Tennessee between Bristol and Mem
phis. Snowdrifts that have been im-
passable barriers to commerce tOr
months on the route of the Union IA
ciflc road, and ice that has damned
up the Mississippi, ever below Cairo,
are facts that point the way 10 the
western ocean, and designate the
spot on the Mississippi, nearest New
York, at which American railways
must converge to gather wealth nom
cities on the shores OF the Pacific.
Owning, and able to hold, the roads
In East Tennessee, this Southern Sc
curity Railway company can force
those that own but cannot hold
connecting lines. Conscious OF this
fact. Tom Scott had the audacity to
step between Wicks and Malone, the
Memphis and Charleston and Bristol
and Norfolk lines, and holding them
apart he makes both worthless and
forces the sale of both. Malone thinks
70 escape by way of Louisville, and
proposes to tunnel the mountains at
Cumberland Gap. This of itself is a
two yesrs task, and when the noun
tains are pierced or scaled, the very
climatic facts that impelled Tom Scott
to come to Memphis, and The million
cotton bales and countless herds of
cattle that the Shreveport and Fort
Smith roads will gather here, will at
last compel Malone to lind his way to
Memphis. Rather than cross themOun.
tains, expanding millions in the task,
il Were wise for Malone to make terms
with Tom Scott. 1t is well enough
for Virginia vanity and for local self
ishness to inveigh against memorable
necessities, but the mountains will not
be tunneled, Norfolk is not going to
Louisville, millions of money will not
be wasted in the construction Of a
road from Bristol to Louisville when
the purpose of those whose money
is prOpOsed to be expended is accom-
plished by pro-rating'' tolls with
Tom Sect. These local and personal
enmities and ~jealousies, snd this sub
ordination OF the interests of stock
holders and OF cities, and Of those Of
States, to those of individuals, should
not be suffered 20 involve the waste
of money in tunneling mountains or
the diversion Of q great railway line
from its proper objective point.
1t is useless to kick against
the pricks. When Tom Scott, having
money enough 70 enable him to hold
it, secured possession of East Tennes-
see, he secured the mastery of the rail-
road system of all these States south
OF the Ohio. II General Malone be a
master Of the science of war as his
deeds and fame and title impel us to
believe, he never spreads q map before
him that he does not confess the inn
pregnability Of Tom ScOtt's East
Tennessee stronghold and the ut
ter h~elplessness Of those who
would eject him. A modest
major CWicks) discovered instantly
the impregnability of Tom ScOtt's
position and lowered his flag, and a
msjOr-generaI cannot escape through
an imaginary hole dug beneath rock
mountains at Cumberland
Gap. Money, in railway wars, sup
plants men in those Statesa and nations.
Tom ScOtt's garrison is as strong as
his defences are impregnable.
