Our RaiIrOad Prospect.

Many friends in Lake county, Tenn.
favor the proposed levee and railroad
from Hickman to the highlands of Mad
rid Bend, because they expect its further
extension through the lower part of that
county. across the Lake, to a connection
at some point in Dyer county with the
Mississippi River road now the Padu,
cab and Memphis, and thence direct
line to Memphis.
Others, expect to strike the Mississip
pi river at point opposite Point Pleas
ant, Mo, aud thence to Poplar Bluffs
on road now being constructed, to a
junction with the Cairo and Fulton road
which will afford direct line to Little
Rock, and the Texas country.
Both plans are practicable and feasible
should our levee be built; and right here
we beg the people Of Hickman, and
Fulton county, to consider the vast i'm
portance of these proposed connection:
to Us. The redemption of one hundred
thousand acres OF overfowed lands by
the proposed levee is a vast item of itself
but direct connection with Memphi:
and Little Rock, and the whole South. is
of ofinealculable value..to our farmers and to
our commercial interest. The more our
business men and property owners con
template it. the more they will appreciate
the enterprise.

The Hanging of Ryan.

The Louisville Courier Journal, Pa
ducah Tobacco Plant, and other news
papers of the "high sentimental order,
are terribly wrought upon by what they
are pleased to term the illegal murder
of one John Ryan, who was recently
hung at May6eld. accessory to the mur-
der of a Miss Owens, Of Graves county
We confess such executions afford hne
field for such Journals to work upon the
sympathies and sentimental caste of the
public; but the ''progressiVeism OF
"sentimentalism which would lead TO
lesser punishments for such heinous
ofenses against society, would encourage
!axness, dangerous to the peace aud
virtue of every community. If these
papers would eIpend half the sympathy
upon the poor, innocent, unoffending
Miss Owens,-the victim of Ryan aud
Fagan--the safety, peace, and virtue OF
the Law sbiding citizens Of Graves-the
verdict of their readers might be differ
eut. The accused in such cases should
hsve every benefit of justice, thorough
aud fair defeDse, and the benefit of every
possible doubtful when proven guilty,
should suffer the extreme penalty of the
law, not in vengeance toward such poor
worms of the dust, but to deter evil
doers from following in their footsteps.
The objection to the times is that too
few of such offenders are punished with
